Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

What the third child wants to say is, you see, I have no objection, but don't cut it off like a fool, it's very unkind!In addition, less than [-] to [-] red tickets per day are very painful, book lovers need to work hard!

Li Ke came out of the Imperial Study Room of Ganquan Palace in a daze, and came to Qianqiu Palace in a daze. Seeing Li Ke's trance-like expression, Concubine Yang mistakenly thought that he had some disease, and hurriedly asked the maid to help Li Ke to the palace. On the couch, he immediately ordered to find an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Li Ke.

Li Ke was relieved by the support of the maids, stopped Concubine Yang and the maids from moving, and sent the maids in the hall outside the store, and then told Concubine Yang about Li Shimin's appointment to him in the imperial study. .After listening to Li Ke's narration, Concubine Yang's complexion changed slightly unconsciously and she returned to normal in an instant, but such a subtle change was noticed by the careful Li Ke.Li Ke originally thought that Concubine Yang would say something to him when she heard Li Shimin's appointment, but what he didn't expect was that Concubine Yang didn't say anything, she just told Li Ke that he should pay attention to his health and other concerns in the future discourse.Li Ke knew that Concubine Yang might be hiding some secrets from him, but he knew that Concubine Yang would not harm him. She didn't say that she might have her concerns at this time, so he didn't ask deliberately.

After staying in Qianqiu Palace until noon, Li Ke finished eating with Concubine Yang, Li, Li Rong and Li Jing, and then left Qianqiu Palace in the reluctance of the three little guys.When he walked out of the palace and walked to the Suzaku Gate, he happened to meet the envoys of Goryeo and Fusang who came to see Li Shimin.Goryeo envoys Gao Shouyan and Li Siqi were very respectful to Li Ke. Fusang envoys Inugami Mita and Herbalist Huiri were also respectful to Li Ke, but Fusang Princess Morita Rieko looked at Li Ke a little strangely.Li Ke didn't want to pay attention to the few people, exchanged some pleasantries with them, and then got on the carriage parked at Suzaku Gate.

Back in the mansion, Li Ke told the news to everyone in the Palace of the King of Han. Everyone was very happy and said they wanted to celebrate, especially Chai Zhewei, Li Zong and Yu Chijun who missed Li Ke very much after not seeing him for a long time. Now that Li Ke has returned to Chang'an, they Never want to miss this moment when everyone gets together.Li Ke had no choice but to agree to their request. At the same time, he also wanted to gather everyone together for a chat. By the way, he wanted everyone to help him analyze Li Shimin's appointment to him today.He always felt that since he held hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands at a young age, there must be some ulterior secret behind it, and it was definitely not as simple as Li Shimin told him.

In the evening, a lot of people gathered in Hanwang Mansion. Ma Zhou, Liu Rengui, Deng Tongda and Zuoyi were all the backbone of the Hanwang Party. In addition, Cen Wenwen, Chu Suiliang and Sun Fujia also came to Hanwang’s house one after another. government.At the same time, it was reported in the palace that Goryeo and Fusang envoys entered the palace to meet Li Shimin.Therefore, Li Ke summoned everyone to Juyi Hall to discuss how to treat the envoys sent by Goryeo and Fusang.

The news from the palace was that the Goryeo envoy asked Li Shimin to allow Goryeo to pay tribute to Datang and make Goryeo a vassal state of Datang, hoping that Datang could open border trade with Goryeo.The purpose of the Fusang envoy is to send scholars to the Tang Dynasty to learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time hope that Li Shimin can allow Fusang to buy a certain amount of weapons, armor and literature from the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Ke told everyone these two pieces of news, everyone in the hall was silent for a long time, and then Ma Zhou said, "The envoy of Goryeo asked the emperor to open border trade with Datang, and I think there is nothing wrong with it. After the three expeditions to Korea ended in failure, they ordered the blockade of the border trade with Korea. At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the policy of the previous dynasty was continued and the blockade was still imposed on Korea. Therefore, after the emperor ascended the throne, Korea was able to capture the queen and give birth to the prince. This is an opportunity to send envoys to congratulate the Tang Dynasty, and it is very reasonable to take this opportunity to make such a request with the emperor."

"En!" Everyone nodded, expressing that Ma Zhou's analysis made sense.

"As for the Goryeo envoy's request to the emperor to allow Goryeo to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and hope that Goryeo can become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, this is also very understandable." Ma Zhou continued to analyze, "Your Highness, think about it, if the emperor really agreed to Goryeo's If you want to open a border trade with Korea, will they benefit more as a vassal country? Or as a general border country, will they get more benefits?"

"Ma Yushi meant that Goryeo asked to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and being a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty wanted to get more benefits after opening the border trade with the Tang Dynasty?" Deng Tongda asked in puzzlement, "But since Goryeo knows the emperor Will agree to open the border trade between the two countries, so why do they still ask for tribute and become a vassal state? For the benefit of a mere border trade, Goryeo condescended to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty as a vassal. Have you lost your face?"

"Dingbo doesn't know something. Goryeo is different from Datang. They don't care about anything for profit, let alone a little face?" Li Ke said with a smile. Through Ma Zhou's analysis, he felt that Goryeo sent envoys to Datang for the first time. There will definitely not be any big movements, maybe I think too much.

"Do you have any opinion on the request of Fusang envoy and father?" Li Ke continued to ask.

"Fusang is far away from the Tang Dynasty, and there is a vast ocean between the two countries, and they are able to travel across the ocean to the Tang Dynasty, which shows that they have great ambitions. And it is not once or twice that they admire the culture of the Tang Dynasty. Envoys, and now they are sending envoys, not only to send scholars to the Tang Dynasty to learn culture, but also to buy literature and books from the Tang Dynasty, so what is their purpose? The scholars sent back to China can be used by them, and the books can just fill their learning gap. deficiencies, and their real purpose is to

To develop and strengthen oneself through reference and learning methods, it can be seen that although Fusang is a small country, it cannot be underestimated! "Cen Wenwen analyzed.

"Well, what Secretary Lang said is right. We must support Fusang's desire to learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty, but we still need to be cautious about purchasing books, weapons and armor." Chu Suiliang agreed, "I don't know if the emperor has promised them yet. If the emperor agrees to their request, then we can’t take Fusang lightly! If the Fusang monarch and ministers have such a mind, they won’t do much right now, so it’s hard to guarantee that they won’t have any ambitions in a hundred years.”

Li Ke was very surprised. Hearing the analysis of Cen Wenwen and Chu Suiliang, he felt that these two people were simply monsters. They were able to analyze the characteristics and nature of the Japanese through such a simple content, and also put forward a point of view of caution.If I hadn’t had thousands of years of cultural knowledge, I wouldn’t have known that the Japanese carried out reforms and reforms after studying Tang culture. Later, in the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates invaded the border, and in the Qing Dynasty, Japan invaded Jiaozhou Bay and Northeast things.And it is really not easy for them to roughly judge what happened to the Japanese in China in the future with just a few words.It's no wonder that the two of them made great achievements in their careers in the future, achieved the position of prime minister, and became Li Shimin's Gu Ming minister. With this keen analysis and judgment, they deserved such achievements.

Cen Wenwen, Chu Suiliang, and Ma Zhou were all talented people in the present. Since they had come to the conclusion, others did not express any personal opinions. At this time, Yang En reported that the banquet was ready, and Li Ke invited everyone Arrived in the vestibule.Everyone sat at the table, and it wasn't once or twice that everyone ate at the same table with Li Ke, so they were very relaxed, especially Li Ke's three brothers, the alcoholic Ma Zhou, Liu Rengui, and Zuo Yi, who even sang when they were drinking. The fake "Manjianghong" by Li Ke made the atmosphere in the hall much more lively.

After the meal, Li Ke's three brothers who were already drunk, Zuo Yi, and Liu Rengui who had to go back to the palace for duty said goodbye to Li Ke and left the Han Palace.And Li Ke recruited Cen Wenwen, Chu Suiliang, Ma Zhou, Sun Fujia, and Deng Tongda to the study, and wanted to ask them what opinions they had on Li Shimin's appointment of him today.

Li Ke and Cen Wenwen.Chu Suiliang, Ma Zhou, Sun Fujia, and Deng Tongda sat down, waited for the maid to serve tea and retreated. Li Ke then ordered Chen Qijia to send people to guard the door so that no one would disturb him. Conversation between the study and Li Shimin.

"Your Highness, the emperor asked you to lead the hundreds of thousands of troops in the two places of Hedong Dao and Hebei Dao. Didn't you say anything?" Sun Fujia, who hadn't spoken much since he came to Han Palace, was the first to ask.

"Father didn't tell me what to do, but just let me train and guard." Li Ke replied after recalling the conversation between himself and Li Shimin in the imperial study.

"Your Highness, I think this is a kind of compensation from the emperor for punishing you?" Ma Zhou frowned, "According to the emperor's appointment, His Highness will command hundreds of thousands of troops to guard the border. Only by submitting a letter to the Ministry of War or requesting the emperor's approval can he be allowed to return to the capital, which limits the time His Highness can spend in the capital. And the emperor gave you this appointment, maybe because he hopes that you will not return to the capital in the future, the same..."

Ma Zhou didn't continue what he said, but Li Ke knew the meaning of the second half of his sentence, that is, Li Shimin hoped that he would return to the capital less and not participate in the competition for the crown prince.

"Therefore, I believe that this is the emperor's compensation for His Highness's punishment after being exiled from the border!" Ma Zhou saw that Li Ke understood what he hadn't said, so he continued.

Ma Zhou's words were so deafening that everyone in the study couldn't adapt at once. Everyone was silent, thinking whether it was really what Ma Zhou said. If he participated in the competition for the crown prince, such a reward would not be a happy event but a blow to Li Ke.

After all, if the prince who is far away from the capital does not have special circumstances such as Qin Wang, the chance of winning the crown prince and sitting on the dragon chair has become very slim.
