"Why are you two here again? Are you here to ask for the answer to the third question?"

Seeing Lao Li and Lao Sun coming hand in hand, Mu Jiuge couldn't help but darken a little, and greeted him angrily.

"Little brother, you guessed wrong this time. Your Majesty answered the answer to the third question directly, without any need for time to think about it."

Li Er pretended to be proud, as if this kid's wrong guess was a beautiful thing.

"It's really normal. With such rubbish questions as barbarians, Li Er must have already had the answer in his mind. It's just that you guys who are not smart enough have never been able to come up with the answer."

Regarding such a result, Mu Jiuge was not surprised at all, and acted as if it should be so.

"Little brother, don't be curious, what is the third question of those envoys?"

Li Er was choked by this guy's words again.

Fortunately, I had already prepared in my heart, and this time the embarrassment was skillfully resolved.

"I'm not interested. I don't have time to play with my children."

He waved his hand and refused. After going through the previous two questions, Mu Jiuge could conclude that the question this time was probably not that clever.

"What are you talking about? War is a piece of cake. I heard that the Goryeo envoy directly attacked the emperor in the court. Without any tact, he directly asked whether the Tang Dynasty was capable of destroying the Turks and how long it would take to completely eliminate the Turks.

Destroy it."

Why didn't this kid fall into the trap? This made Li Er feel very unhappy.

He simply lowered his voice and spoke the question with a solemn expression.

"Then what."

This time the question finally makes a little sense.

"His Majesty made a direct promise in front of all the civil and military officials that he would destroy the Turks within three years. Do you think your Majesty did this with some lack of consideration?"

No need for little brother to ask, Li Er spoke again and told how he answered.

Then I waited with some anxiety for what my little brother would say next.

If you know what you say, it is impossible to hide it from the spies sent by the Turks and let them prepare in advance.

"Isn't this a normal thing? The relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks has long been incompatible. Once a war is launched, it will inevitably be a war to destroy the country."

"With the military strength of the Tang Dynasty at this time, if you want to destroy a Turk, it is definitely something that can be easily captured. Failure is simply impossible."

Mu Jiuge said disapprovingly, this is an ironclad fact.

"Although the words are good, when such a question was asked by the Goryeo envoy, I always felt that there was a conspiracy in it. You must know that the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Goryeo was not very harmonious."

In order to find out whether there was anything wrong, Li Er hurriedly expressed his worries, and then eagerly waited for the results of his little brother's analysis.

"Ha! Goryeo's calculations were very shrewd. Of course, they didn't ask casually. In fact, they really wanted the Tang Dynasty and the Turks to fight, and the more tragic the better."

"Goryeo's geographical location is remote, and the Tang Dynasty has no time to pay attention to their development. Once the Tang Dynasty starts a war with the Turks, their opportunity will come and they can gradually expose their ambitions."

"Compared to the Tang Dynasty, Goryeo is a small country that can be destroyed easily. However, there are many countries large and small around Goryeo. Once Goryeo finds an opportunity and annexes them, then the Tang Dynasty will naturally have one more powerful country.

enemy."

"What? Your Majesty should send troops to destroy these ambitious guys. It seems your Majesty's promise was a bit reckless!"

Before Mu Jiuge could finish his words, Li Er couldn't wait to interrupt him and roared angrily.

Although he had guessed that the other party must have a conspiracy hidden inside, he had never considered it this way.

In an instant, cold sweat broke out on Li Er's forehead. If Gao Li succeeded, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Old Li, calm down. All of this must be based on the premise of war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks. Otherwise, it will be empty talk."

"Especially if Goryeo wants to annex the small countries around it, it will not happen overnight."

"And if the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks achieved a crushing victory, do you think Goryeo would have the courage to act rashly?"

"So, the reason why Your Majesty dares to reply to the other party like this is because he already has a perfect plan in mind. Why are you making so much noise here, Sir?"

Seeing Lao Li looking so indignant, he wished he could rush to the palace immediately to remind His Majesty.

Mu Jiuge quickly stretched out his hand to hold down the irritable and restless Li Er, and comforted him with sincere words.

I was stunned for a moment by this explanation.

But I have already made up my mind, and there is a ghost in my heart.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to run all over the place.

"Little brother, I really don't understand. You said before that these envoys were bewitched by those aristocratic families, so they came here."

"But after these envoys arrived, they began to pose problems to the Tang Dynasty. They were obviously prepared for it, and now they even actively asked to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. I really can't figure out what kind of crisis is hidden in this."

As the little brother said, the conspiracy of Goryeo is evident, but what is the conspiracy of the powerful family?

And how should we explain this so-called tributary state?

Which king is willing to take the initiative to give up his most precious possessions?

"Old Sun, I have to praise you. Under my influence, the questions you asked have made great progress!"

Looking at Lao Sun up and down, he really couldn't see that this guy actually had such awareness and knew how to draw inferences from one instance.

"Those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are dark. I have been in contact with my little brother for a long time, and it is natural to learn some skills."

Li Er glanced at Changsun Wuji with admiration. These were exactly what he wanted to ask.

"Lao Li, what you said makes me feel so relieved!"

"For any country to consider other countries as suzerains in a hurry, there must be several reasons."

"Either this country is suffering from internal and external troubles, its strength is low, and it has been barely surviving in the cracks. It suddenly feels a crisis, and then it takes the initiative to seek shelter from its backers."

"Otherwise, do you think there are really so many fools in this world who would go around claiming to be their father?"

He originally planned to brag about himself, but seeing that the faces of the two of them were not very good-looking, he swallowed those words.

Then he came up with a detailed explanation for the two of them and analyzed the reasons why they took the initiative to recognize the suzerain country.

"Although there are many small countries around the Tang Dynasty, Goryeo is still a powerful country compared to them. There is really no need to do this."

Changsun Wuji put forward his own opinions on this analysis.

"Hey, Old Sun, you should look further ahead. The war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks will happen sooner or later."

"Once the Turks are destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, who do you think the Tang Dynasty will target next? The obvious one is Goryeo."
