Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 365
Chapter 365 Hong Wen Guan, Pink Spirit (2)
“Your Highness, there’s no need to be angry. I definitely don’t mean that.” Wei Zheng said, “It is not that the Honglu Temple does not treat him well, nor is it that His Highness’s beloved daughter is not worthy of Tibet’s Zan Pu.” I, the people of the Tang Dynasty, have come to seek peace because of the defeat of Tibet. I look down on them from the bottom of my heart and think that they are asking for us, so I should treat them as bending my knees and knees. Even though Tibet was a barbarian race, it had its own self-esteem. The disrespect and disdain that they displayed all the time made their hearts furious. “I’m sure everyone here has this feeling. I’m not making it up out of thin air, am I?”
Li Daozong snorted coldly, “According to Duke Wei’s words, I, the Great Tang, should be begging him for peace with Tibet?” Clearly, he was the one who admitted defeat and made peace with her. What kind of arrogance was he putting on? If he was angry, he would go back and play naughty. If he lost in the war, he would want to get it back. According to this king’s will, we must defeat them once again on the battlefield in order to achieve true peace. Otherwise, if we bring up the matter of peace with them now, their tails will be raised to the sky. They think that my Great Tang is truly afraid of him! ”
“Your Highness, we are seeking a country. We cannot act impulsively.” Wei Zheng said, “Even if we are happy to win, how much loss does the Great Tang have? Isn’t it just money? Those soldiers who died in the battlefield should be able to enjoy peace with their families. How can Your Highness bear it?”
“Wei Zheng, this king disagrees greatly with what you said.” Li Daozong said seriously, “We didn’t start the war. When others arrived, could it be that they didn’t fight because they were afraid of the casualties of the war?” Ever since the founding of our country, our Great Tang has never retreated a single step in front of war, and the victory or defeat is secondary. A country is like a person, fighting is just one thing, whether you dare to fight or not is another matter! “The Tang Empire was founded on martial arts, but how could it surrender to the barbarian state’s obscene might?”
“Your Highness, if a dog bites you, do you have to bite him too?” Wei Zheng sneered and said, “There should be a better way to resolve the conflict. Why must there be a war?”
“How dare you insult this king, Wei Zheng!”
“I didn’t!”
…
The two of them quarreled.
Qin Mubai pressed her forehead and shook her head.
In this current environment, his Qin Mubai’s power was simply too negligible. If the vacant seat beside Eldest Sun Wuji belonged to him, how could it be like this? He was like an insignificant outsider as he watched others fight and quarrel!
“Alright, don’t make any noise.” Eldest Sun Wuji stretched out his hands and pressed them down. Wei Zheng and Li Daozong snorted coldly and no longer argued.
“Ah … since we are ministers of the same hall, we are all here to help the country and share the worries of the king. There is no need to hurt our friendship.” Eldest Sun Wuji became a good person and said, “Xuan Cheng’s words are not without reason. His highness’s words also have merits, making it difficult for others to make a decision for a while.” However, according to a certain person, even if this battle was to be fought, it would not be fought right now. Everyone knows that our Great Tang Imperial Court has just suffered a serious injury. The collapsed Eastern Palace, the Emperor fell ill, and the court was in turmoil. If the internal situation was unsettled, why would it be bustling outside? In my humble opinion, I can make a compromise between Xuan Cheng and His Highness. Can first send an envoy, and Tibet to discuss and grant marriage; At the same time, Lanzhou was prepared for war, but it was absolutely impossible to provoke a war on its own initiative. What do you think, gentlemen? ”
Qin Mubai raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Eldest Sun Wuji was so cunning! He jumped out to be a good person after picking up a bargain for nothing. Since he had already made peace, he still had to prepare for a fart war and not let “take the initiative” to start a war. This was clearly binding Lanzhou’s hands and feet, allowing the enemy to provoke him but ignoring him!
What was the difference between this and issuing a ban?
“Fuck!” Qin Mubai secretly cursed in his heart and thought to himself, “Since you’re not on the front line, of course you don’t know the hardships of joining the army.” Can you fucking watch as the enemy flaunts his might in front of you and kill my fellow countrymen to kidnap my cattle and sheep? However, anyone with courage would not be able to withstand such a provocation! If you give this order and the Lanzhou army can’t restrain themselves from attacking, they will give us a lot of excuses and information-will you be able to deal with the Lanzhou group of people in good faith at that time? –Too sinister! ”
Just at this moment, a person came out and cupped his hands and said loudly, “I don’t agree with Situ’s words.”
Everyone looked, Li Ji!
Eldest Sun Wuji took a deep breath and calmly said, “General Li, what do you think?”
Li Ji cupped his hands and said, “There is something wrong with your life outside.” This was not to say that the people leading the troops outside did not obey the orders of the monarchs and the imperial court. Rather, the battlefield’s form was treacherous and changeable, so that they could adapt their tactics to the situation. If there was a violation of the order, it was also a matter of necessity. Situ said that letting the soldiers of the Lanzhou frontline not’provoke war on their own initiative ‘was basically binding our own hands and feet and violating the big taboo of a soldier. If the enemy learned that our army was only defending and not counterattacking, they would be able to do whatever they wished, which would be quite disadvantageous to our army. It was like a fight between two people. One of them tied his hands together first. How dangerous was it? Situ, this will only be in the soldier word soldier, there is no other meaning. To seek and bestow marriage, this is the Imperial Court’s grand plan, although I support Lanzhou to fight, but if the Imperial Court decides that the following is absolutely no different; However, what war preparations did they have to make to prevent Lanzhou from attacking? This was like putting tens of thousands of Lanzhou troops at the mercy of the enemy and letting them be sacrificed for the sake of peace. I, Li Ji, am the first to refuse. ”
“Good, well said!” Yuchi Jingde slammed the table and shouted, “Scholar officer, you’re just stalling! Either fight or fight, be decisive and straightforward. Don’t f*cking fight and make things difficult for the soldiers on the frontlines! Eldest Sun Wuji, as long as you guys sit here and talk, the soldiers on the frontlines are going to risk their lives with their heads raised!”
“This is outrageous!” “Yuchi Jingde, in the Hongwen Pavilion’s council hall, you actually said something obscure. What kind of manners do you have?” Said Changsun Wuji angrily.
“What’s wrong? My old black mouth hasn’t been clean after living for decades. His Majesty the Emperor didn’t say anything about me. What are you going to do to me?” Yuchi Jingde started to fight, his eyes widened and he shouted loudly, “Tell me what you want. What are you doing with this mouth of mine, Old Black?” This mouth of mine is not used to talk nonsense. When it comes to the battlefield, I will send millions of soldiers to fight with me. Changsun Wuji, can you do it? Stop pretending in front of me! What kind of bird could hold such a meeting! Talk about it, talk about it, talk about it, talk about it, talk about it! According to what I said, send troops to Lanzhou to help Second Brother Qin! Tibetan barbarians, did you scare the courage of knife and brush officials to pieces or something? Don’t worry, you guys are sitting here drinking tea and pulling it down. An Laohei and Second Brother Qin are going to fight on the battlefield! It doesn’t matter if he wins and returns to give it to you bunch of white-faced scholars. If he loses, then he’ll come back with his head in his mother’s hand. This should be fine! “!”
Eldest Sun Wuji’s face was about to turn pale.
Qin Mubai and many of the generals couldn’t help but clap their hands and applaud!
Everyone knew that Yuchi respected virtue like a blazing fire. In the early years, because of a dispute at the banquet, Yuchi Jingde, who was drunk, almost beat Li Daozong’s eyes out in front of the Emperor with an old fist!
Today, the emperor was not present. If he provoked this bull, an old fist might hit his eldest son, Wuji, in the face!
As a result, Changsun Wuji didn’t say anything. He put on a disdainful expression and shook his head with a cold smile.
Wei Zheng could only smile and shake his head, no response.
Yuchi Jingde shouted loudly for a while. He realized that no one in the other party’s camp had come out to answer him. He felt like a clown being ignored and ignored. He was immediately embarrassed and angry. He stomped his feet angrily and shouted, “This Bird Gathering, I can’t open it anymore!” All of them are f*cking disgraceful people, what kind of shit can they talk about! I’ll go find His Majesty the Emperor and ask him about the green, red, and white Bird Court, which is filled with black smoke and anger, but he still doesn’t care about it anymore! Humph! ! “!”
After saying that, Yuchi Jingde glared angrily at Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng, shaking off his big strides and leaving.
Everyone looked at him in astonishment. When Qin Mubai walked past him, he gave him a big thumbs up and said, “Uncle Shi, this junior admires you!”
“I admire you!” Yuchi said respectfully, “I just said what many people want to say but dare not! Brat, you have time to think more about how to fight and deal with the Tibetans. Don’t f*cking mess around in the nest of women!-I’m going, go see the Emperor! Today, he’ll either see me or cut off my black head! Hmph!”
Even Qin Mubai was stunned. He did not expect that Yuchi Jingde’s attitude would be so tough and his stance so firm. Compared to Li Ji and Li Daozong, although he was reckless and impulsive, his hot-blooded and daring manner made Qin Mubai feel respectful!
Just as Yuchi Jingde walked to the door, he suddenly stopped. A person blocked him and said weakly, “Jingde, where are you going?”
Everyone was shocked-Fang Xuanling? !
Eldest Sun Wuji couldn’t help but sit up straight and look at the door. He was pleasantly surprised in his heart, “Great!” Fang Xuanling is here! If it weren’t for him, he wouldn’t have been able to stop Wildhorse-like Yuchi Jingde! Fang Xuanling was a strategist in his early years. After the founding of the country, he was in charge of the central government and served as prime minister for more than ten years. He was one of the respected figures of Yuchi Jingde. Yuchi Jingde was disrespectful to no one, nor would he be disrespectful to Fang Xuanling, a modest gentleman, an old military counselor, or an old prime minister.
“Fang Xianggong” Yuchi Jingde really lost his temper and took a step back and cupped his hands. “This meeting is going to be depressing. I want to see His Majesty the Emperor and ask for a letter. I don’t want to hear these people arguing endlessly here!”
Qin Mubai looked sideways and saw that Fang Xuanling’s face was pale and his body was weak. At this time, Fang Xuanling also happened to look sideways at Qin Mubai, who was sitting at the bottom of the door. His eyes were in a hurry for a while, but he could not tell if it was hostility or good intentions.
He patted Yuchi Jingde’s broad chest and laughed, “You don’t need to go. I just came from His Majesty the Emperor. He just took medicine to sleep. Do you have the nerve to disturb him?”
Once these words were spoken, everyone’s hearts were awakened. Fang Xuanling, who had been ill for a long time, suddenly came. He even specifically said that he came from the Emperor. Could it be that he was implying that he had brought the Emperor’s decree? !
So, the person who made the decision appeared? !
Qin Mubai drummed in her heart, “The two sides are in a stalemate right now. Even the votes are the same.” The appearance of Fang Xuanling, an important official, was bound to change the balance of power between the two sides and break the balance! Besides, he may have brought the emperor’s’decree ‘!
It’s broken! Fang Xuanling, he has been living in the same room as the Emperor day and night. I have hammered his son into meat paste. How can he let me go? This time, his sudden appearance will definitely do me a great disadvantage! … I really hope that I am a lowly person who takes care of a gentleman. With Fang Xuanling’s character, he shouldn’t do such a thing as stealing public revenge. However, Fang Xuanling had always been the most advocate of refraining from martial arts. The emperor always said that he was the’daughter-in-law of the Great Tang ‘and knew how to manage the family economically. How could he advocate the use of military force?
Thinking of this, Qin Mubai felt a little desperate …
