The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 796 Peace Talk

On the morning of the second day after Li Shimin arrived in Daxing City, using 21st century timekeeping, at nine o'clock in the morning, Yang Yong ascended to the Golden Hall in Daxing City, intending to formally receive Li Shimin, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Yong sent an order to be promoted to the palace, and after a quarter of an hour, he began to count the number. To put it bluntly, the Chinese military officers took the roster to roll their names. The name Rosen remained unanswered.

Yang Yong frowned, and said in his heart, Luo Song has always observed military discipline and never misses the point. Why is he late for such an important occasion today?He was the only one of the five tiger generals around him now, he should have set an example for the rest of the generals, but he didn't come, according to the military rules, if he couldn't get his head out of the way, he was beaten with forty army sticks, If you don't reach the second point, you will hit the [-]th army stick hard, and if you don't reach the third point, you will be beheaded directly.Where did he go?Could it be that he drank too much last night and overslept?He doesn't have a habit of drinking either?
Afraid that Yang Yong was in a hurry, Wei Zheng whispered a few words to Yang Yong, and sent someone to look for him in his tent.

Because Li Shimin was already waiting outside the Golden Palace, Yang Yong couldn't postpone meeting Li Shimin because of Luo Song, this matter can only be discussed later.

Li Shimin got the news and strode into the golden palace.Li Shimin saw that Yang Yong's style was really sufficient. Although Yang Yong did not proclaim himself emperor, his set was basically the emperor's pomp. The place where he sat was where Yang Jian and Yang Guang sat. The position of the Son of Heaven has not even changed the dragon chair, it is still the same as before.The male and female generals lined up on both sides of the golden hall, and they also had the same formation as civil and military officials.

The difference is that at this time Yang Yong was accompanied by military advisor Wei Zheng, there were no eunuchs and maids in the Golden Palace, Yang Yong did not wear the dragon crown and dragon robe, and the generals did not bow three times and kowtow nine times.But these are all appearances. If Yang Yong wants to become emperor, it will be a matter of Yang Yong's words, and these branches and leaves will be there in a few minutes.In terms of territory, strength, and influence, the kings and emperors in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, except for Yang Jian and his son, had to stand aside. The current Yang Yong is even worse than his father Li Yuan.

As an envoy, Li Shimin came to stand in front of the Golden Palace, and had no choice but to bow to the high-ranking Yang Yong, and said loudly: "The envoy of the Tang Dynasty, King Li Shimin, sees the lord."

"Your envoy is exempt from courtesy. Take a seat." Yang Yong sat on it and watched and listened, feeling very comfortable in his heart. After all, this is the famous Tang Taizong in history, but now he bowed down to himself, even though he has not yet Surrender, this is just a diplomatic etiquette, but Yang Yong will inevitably feel excited and proud for a while.

However, Yang Yong can be regarded as someone who has seen the big world. It is not the kind of villain who is suddenly rich and has a chest full of belly. Well, Yang Yong is not such a person, he was excited but his face was serious, and he gave Li Shimin a seat.

"Thank you for your seat." Someone moved a grand master's chair to Li Shimin, and it was about five meters in front of Yang Yong's right, and Li Shimin sat down.

Li Shimin looked around with his eyes intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that the generals under Yang Yong were male or female, old or young, fat or thin, tall or low, all of them were brightly armored, and they were all full of energy. Did not see Luo Song's shadow, Li Shimin was secretly proud, maybe the letter worked, and Luo Song's character had to be tricked, first accepted Cheng Yaojin, and then made Luo Song go away, This is tantamount to taking out Yang Yong's two pillars. No matter how successful the peace talks are, this king's trip will be worthwhile.

Li Shimin was proud of himself when Yang Yong said, "His Royal Highness King Qin has traveled thousands of miles and worked tirelessly to come to Daxing City, my king. What can I learn?" When he said this, Yang Yong fixed his eyes on Li Shimin's tangible man face.

Although Li Shimin is young, he is only 21 years old this year, but he has been through the world for a long time and is as stable as Mount Tai. Seeing that Yang Yong was straight to the point and asked the key point, he hurriedly pulled his thoughts back and said with a calm smile: "The prince is too modest, and he can't talk about teaching. Xiao Wang this time The purpose of coming here on the order of my father is mainly to turn hostility into friendship with your army."

Yang Yong looked at Wei Zheng next to him, and met his knowing eyes. As expected by the king and the two military advisers, as long as it is a peace talk, I love to listen, but I can't agree to him so happily. It is necessary to give him an opportunity to suppress his desires, and let him know that the signing of the peace agreement is hard-won. Before going to war in the future, the Li family and his son have to think about it and cherish it. Thinking of this, Yang Yong's face Surprised, "Oh, what do you say? This king would like to hear the details."

Li Shimin's words had been prepared long ago, and at this moment he opened the chatter box, "My lord, you know without telling Xiao Wang that Yangdi is a fool and has no way. After the defeat of the Sui Dynasty, the warlords from all over the country supported their own forces, each dominated one side, and fought endlessly. For more than ten years, the land under the feet has never been truly peaceful. Today, you fight against me, and I will attack you. Years of wars have caused the fields to be barren , the common people were displaced and left their hometowns, their bones were exposed in the wild, and there was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. Whether it was Han people or Hu people, they were all suffering from wars and chaos, and they were all riddled with holes. Therefore, the father hates war deeply, and this time he ordered the little king to come here to discuss with the prince about the truce between the two sides. Your army and Datang have fought many big and small battles in recent years, and both sides have their own interests Win or lose, since this is the case, why are we not content with the status quo, put the swords and guns into the warehouse, put the horses on the Nanshan Mountains, and return the peace to the people, why not? I don’t know what the prince respects?"

Li Shimin's words were level, and he put the blame for the war on others in a grand manner, and praised their father and son as sage kings and ministers who cared about the society, loved the people and fought hard.

All the generals present listened quietly, and their eyes were fixed on Yang Yong. There was no sound in the hall, so many people were as quiet as nothing, and a needle dropped on the ground could be heard.

When Yang Yong heard it, Li Shimin's small mouth can really speak. He is worthy of being the mouth of the emperor. You are the one who said the beating, and you are the one who made peace. What did you do early?Half a year ago, your father arbitrarily tore up the agreement, launched an innocent army to invade the country, and almost took over my Daxing City. Tens of thousands of soldiers died, and countless people died, forcing Lin Wenyuan to kill himself. Now your father and son have become peace-loving defenders. It seems that Lao Tzu is a heinous militant, which is really unreasonable!

Thinking of this, Yang Yongyong didn't call anywhere, the comfort just now was swept away, his face sank like water, and he said coldly to Li Shimin: "His Royal Highness Qin is wrong, I remember that two years and six months ago, you all Tang has already sent General Li Shentong, King of Huai'an, as an envoy to represent Li Yuan to reconcile with the rebel army Yongxiu. This king agreed from the overall situation and the interests of the common people. We both signed and pledged to agree to Yongxiu's reconciliation, but half a year ago, Li Yuan tore up the agreement arbitrarily and innocently sent troops to attack, which caused the two sides to fight each other, and countless lives were destroyed, did Li Yuan and His Highness ever think about the suffering of the Li people in the war?"

Li Shimin was left speechless by the question, and Yang Yong said in his heart that he was very powerful, thanks to my preparations, otherwise this peace talk would come to naught, and it seemed that it was time to show his trump card.
