They were coming back later as Zhao Chen said.
But it's not that simple.
The emperor didn't know why, but this morning court did not attend the court at the previous time.
This also led to the civil and military ministers waiting in the Tai Chi Hall for a long time before finally waiting for the emperor to appear.
Tie Qingwen was also a little anxious.
I wondered if the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty suddenly regretted the previous incident again, so I didn’t make any noise for so long.
Moreover, many officials from the Tai Chi Hall looked like they hated him to the core when they looked at him.
Although Tie Qingwen had already prepared before, he was inevitably nervous when he saw that the Emperor of Tang had not appeared.
Fortunately, just as he was about to collapse, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty finally appeared.
No one asked why the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty came to court so late today, as if they did not care about these things today.
"I'm here to pay homage to Your Majesty." The officials shouted in unison, and Tie Qingwen also greeted him.
The emperor waved his hand and signaled everyone to get up.
"Today's court meeting is mainly about discussing peace talks with Goguryeo."
"Tie Qingwen, let me tell you about your Goguryeo conditions." The emperor spoke and directly talked about the most important thing today.
Many officials were stunned.
Not everyone knew about this in advance.
At this moment, when the emperor said he wanted to make peace with Goguryeo, many people were confused.
More importantly, even the envoys of Goguryeo were already waiting in the Tai Chi Hall?
They only knew about such an important thing!
Many people also knew in advance what to discuss at the court meeting today.
For example, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Xu Shiji and others.
As generals who personally participated in the war with Goguryeo on the front line, it was hard for them to believe that the emperor actually agreed to discuss peace with Goguryeo.
Did the emperor forget how many Tang dynasties died under the hands of Goguryeo soldiers?
How much blood and tears were left on that battlefield.
Today, have you forgotten them under the conditions of peace talks?
Cheng Yaojin clenched his fists. At this moment, he wanted to rush out, but Xu Shiji grabbed his arm tightly.
"Report to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the foreign minister came to the Tang Dynasty to discuss peace talks with His Majesty the two countries with the orders of our Goguryeo King Gaozang."
"The foreign minister represents Goguryeo and is willing to present the sand city to the Tang Dynasty."
"In addition, if the Emperor of Tang, who killed the general Qin Qiong of your country, if the Emperor of Tang wanted to do so, I, Goguryeo, could tie him up and let His Majesty the Emperor of Tang deal with it."
"For these two conditions, I, Goguryeo, only hope that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will agree to rebuild the old together with me, Goguryeo."
"The two sides no longer fight against each other, and they will give the people of both countries a safe environment." Tie Qingwen bowed to the emperor and said loudly.
When all the officials heard Tie Qingwen's words, they looked different.
Among them, the civil servants were mostly excited, while the military generals showed anger.
"This is good news. I, the Tang Dynasty, can take over the Sand City, the gateway of Goguryeo without any effort."
"You have to know how much effort Yang Guang spent in the previous dynasty, he did not conquer the Shacheng."
"And now, Goguryeo actually gave it to us."
"This achievement is enough to be kept in history." A civil servant said excitedly.
"That's right. Goguryeo took the initiative to cede the sand city, which was a huge victory for our Tang Dynasty."
"I believe that the people in the world will be proud of this matter." Another civil servant agreed.
"You know a ball."
"Sand City is 400 miles away from the city on the edge of our Tang Dynasty border, but it is less than 100 miles away from their Goguryeo."
"If they go back on their word in the future, Shacheng will only change hands in one day."
"Besides, at such a long distance, our logistics supply and pressure suddenly increased, and we were always worried about the raid from Goguryeo."
"For a long time, Shacheng was completely useless for us." Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but speak out.
As a military general, he knew very well that the sand city had no meaning to the current Tang Dynasty.
Instead, it will become a burden to the Tang Dynasty because it has to take into account this city.
Furthermore, the soldiers who died because of Goguryeo will not avenge their revenge?
Cheng Yaojin felt worthless for them.
"Your Majesty, we will get the Sand City, but we will definitely not let them ced."
"My Tang Dynasty's iron hooves will one day sooner or later..."
"Xu Shiji, what do you want to say?"
"I, the Tang Dynasty Iron Hoof, will take down the Shacheng one day?"
"When? Who will take it?"
"Why do you think you have the ability to win it?"
"You are on the front line, have you ever won once?" The emperor suddenly spoke, interrupting Xu Shiji's words.
Xu Shiji's face turned red at that time.
He knew that he was not favored by the emperor now, but today, he was so derogatory by the emperor in this Tai Chi Hall.
Xu Shiji felt that he was just a joke.
It's also standing there, not knowing how to step down.
"You dare to ask Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in the personal expedition, but has he won another match?"
"The Duke of England is on the front line, and he has worked hard, but today he is treated like this by His Majesty. Whether we will end up with the result of the Duke of England today." Li Jing stood up and said a few words.
At this moment, the atmosphere of Tai Chi Hall became completely depressed.
All the officials felt a hint of chill coming from their backs.
Li Jing's words just now almost poked the emperor's nose and scolded him for burning bridges across the river.
Seeing the emperor's face turned red with blackness, all the officials were silent.
I didn't even dare to breathe.
Faced with Li Jing's questioning, the emperor's face was extremely ugly.
The emperor didn't understand why Li Jing, who has always been on the sermon, was so targeted by the emperor today.
He just hopes to get the Shacheng and then give an explanation to the people of the world.
Otherwise, after fighting for so long, nothing was saved.
Even so many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were sacrificed.
Then, isn’t he too incompetent?
But now, one or two generals all jumped out to blame themselves?
"Li Jing, what do you mean?"
"Are you threatening me?"
"You touch your conscience, have I treated you badly?"
"Did I ever complain about the successive defeats?"
"You have always been blaming me. I can't do this or that."
"I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, not you."
"Who else, who opposes this peace talks, stand up!" The emperor walked to the center of Tai Chi Hall with a gloomy face, looked around everyone, and finally asked a question.
The Tai Chi Palace is quiet and a bit cunning.
Everyone knew that the emperor was really angry. They said that it was nothing more than making the emperor even more devastating.
Tie Qingwen did not expect that the generals of the Tang Dynasty opposed this peace talks so much.
He was worried about the failure of this peace talk just now, but he did not expect that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would take over the entire army with his own strength.
"Since no one speaks, it means that he agrees to this peace agreement by default."
"Hui Zhen doesn't have to tie him up, aren't you against it?"
