Wang Xiaoyang, as his personal eunuch, said unhappily: "Master, I can't live in the imperial palace in the capital, but I want to come to this place where flies don't lay eggs to suffer. I will suffer the same harm as you."
Seeing the unlucky look on his face, Li Tai scolded him: "Idiot, if you don't like it, you can go home. Do you think it's easy to be a eunuch? You didn't know that blind man chose you."
"King Wei, you are a prince. You know the difficulties of the common people. Who would be willing to cut off the family lineage thing if it weren't for the sake of prosperity?"
Li Tai couldn't help but smile when he heard this and said, "Isn't that okay? If you're not happy, there are a lot of people who are. If you don't believe me, why don't you give it a try?"
Wang Xiaoyang hurriedly said: "I dare not, my slave's life is not as valuable as it?"
Li Tai cast his eyes on the homing pigeon in the gold cage and said, "Of course, this gold cage alone costs a lot of money. How many copper coins is your slave worth? Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and serve me. I have to
Write a letter and report to the emperor."
Only Li Shimin could use gold to make cages for homing pigeons.
On the day he was sent out for the expedition, this golden homing pigeon cage caused a lot of discussion among civil and military officials. Fortunately, Wei Zheng was not there, otherwise Li Shimin would have been ruthlessly removed from power.
Wang Xiaoyang sighed: "People are inferior to birds, have you noticed? However, I think it is better to give it a name. The emperor loves it so much that he treats it like his own son. How about calling it Li Jiaojiao?"
"Bah, aren't you swearing? It's just a messenger, can it be the same as us? It's not a female, so it's called by such a woman's name?"
"You're young and have little talent and knowledge. If you start, I'll be able to scream from now on."
Li Tai thought, this is a good idea, but what kind of name should we give it?
Where's the name?
"In this case, since it is the emperor's favorite thing, it is more appropriate for him to name it. I will write to him now."
"That's right, Master. You are getting better and better at inviting favors now. Hurry up and write a letter. Maybe the Emperor is waiting to receive your letter."
Li Tai wrote a letter in a few words, describing all the hardships and scenery along the way. Finally, he hoped that he could give the pigeon a nice name.
Watching the carrier pigeon disappear into the sky, Li Tai's inner respect for Li Shimin grew stronger.
In the past, the imperial court had to rush 800 miles to deliver messages to the front line. Now with this carrier pigeon, how many horses and messengers have been saved.
He is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime celebrity.
It would be better to have a mobile phone, but that is impossible, and there is no way to charge it without electricity.
The next day, the carrier pigeon brought a letter from Li Shimin. Li Shimin expressed his longing for him and expressed great appreciation for his proposal to name the carrier pigeon. He named the carrier pigeon Li Angel.
Angel. This name was so good that he even gave him the Li family name.
It should be said that this homing pigeon is the most noble bird in the world.
Li Tai immediately wrote back to him.
Seeing that he had no arrangements for the next step, the two deputy commanders, Feng Li and Xie Shufang, got angry and rushed to his tent.
Li Tai asked them to sit down and said, "Two elders, do you know them well?"
Both men shook their heads.
Xie Shufang, who was a little older, said loudly: "His Royal Highness, King Wei, I would like to make a suggestion. Before the war begins, we must hang a flag with one person's name."
"Why? Can't the flag of our Tang Dynasty be used?"
"It's not impossible. These people are so far away from Chang'an. Do they know what kind of city Chang'an is in the Tang Dynasty? But they know the name of General Qin, so I think we should add a flag of General Qin."
Qin Qiong again?
How famous is he? That he is even more famous than such a big country?
"Okay, General Qin is my master, and I can be considered a descendant of the Qin family."
So he immediately sent an order and had someone make a flag with the word "Qin" in it.
The emperor of Luojia Kingdom, surnamed Zhang, was a forty-year-old bearded man. When he heard that the coach sent by the Tang Dynasty was a boy in his teens, he became very angry, thinking that the Tang Dynasty did not take him seriously.
An envoy was immediately sent to issue a letter of challenge to meet with him.
Li Tai looked at the envoy and laughed loudly: "I am the fourth son of the Tang Dynasty. It's easy for a kid like me to take care of you."
The messenger said tremblingly: "It doesn't matter what you say. The outcome can only be seen on the battlefield. King Wei, if you have the courage to go to our military camp, our emperor will obey you."
"What's so daring about this? When two countries are fighting, they won't kill me. Even if you want to kill me, I'm afraid you don't have the ability."
"Okay, it's settled. I'll see you at the Royal Palace of Luojia Kingdom tomorrow at noon."
Li Tai saw the sly look on the other person's face and said, "Just go."
The two deputy commanders, Feng Li and Xie Shufang, were shocked and shouted: "Your Highness, King Wei, this is not allowed."
"What's not allowed? Our Tang Dynasty is a huge country, and I'm the prince. If I don't even have this courage, how can I face the people of the world?"
He turned around and said to the envoy: "Go back and tell your emperor that you will definitely go there at noon tomorrow."
"Okay, see you later."
The envoys left in a hurry, but the camp turned into a mess.
"The King of Wei is so hasty. If something were to happen, would the general's head be saved?"
Xie Shufang almost cried, blaming him for not agreeing to the other party so straightforwardly.
Feng Li was also restless: "Why do you need to agree to them? If you have the ability, we will see you on the battlefield. Their messenger is an ordinary official, but the one we are going to is the King of Wei. The identities of these two people are too different. How about,
I'll go meet them tomorrow."
Li Tai waved his hand and said: "A man's words are true, and they are hard to follow. I, Li Tai, always keep my word. If I let you go, people will definitely laugh at me. That's it, it's just a matter of death."
"Wang Wang, it doesn't matter to you if you have your shortcomings, but we still have an old and a young child. You are fine. Our two families will definitely end up ruined. Reputation can be worth a few cents, but safety comes first."
Seeing that the two of them still looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, Li Tai wondered if it was because of my good temper that you didn't take me seriously. What should I do as the coach?
His face darkened and he said: "This matter has been decided. If anyone tries to persuade me not to go, I will deal with it with military orders."
The two deputy commanders looked at each other, wanting to persuade but not dared to do so, so they had no choice but to give up.
In fact, he had no idea, but in that situation, it was impossible for him not to agree to go to Luojia Kingdom's palace. He had to have a particularly strong aura. If he lost in aura, could he still win the battle?
After everyone dispersed, Wang Xiaoyang complained to him again: "Master, you are very arrogant now. You are going to the enemy's country, not to the Great Buddha Temple in Chang'an City? You are rushing forward with your own life, do you know?
"
Li Tai looked at him and wanted to lose his temper, but then he thought, they were doing it for his own good, and it would be unreasonable for him to curse again.
