Chapter seven hundred and forty-six difficult peace talks (three)
Update time:2013-05-31
Noisy, noisy, noisy, it was still an endless quarrel. When the negotiation started on the second day, the two sides quarreled again. Although they couldn't understand each other, they refused to give in. What you said was what I said.
The argument was endless, so busy that the interpreters on both sides had blisters on their lips, and the noisy voices roared in the hall. Not only the eunuchs of the East Palace serving in the hall were dizzy, but even Li Xian couldn't help but frown.
He frowned, but did not say anything to stop him. Instead, he allowed the participants on both sides to play freely. The atmosphere in the hall was really heated.
"Your Highness, Cheng Denggao is here."
Just as the two parties participating in the meeting were arguing again and again, they saw Gao Miao hurriedly walking in from outside the palace. He ignored the officials from both sides who were arguing with red faces. He hurried forward, bowed and said in a low voice.
He reported something.
"Um?"
Li Xian's mind was naturally not on that boring dispute. He was thinking about how to break the situation with the minimum cost. When he heard that Cheng Denggao was coming, he couldn't help but be stunned. After pondering for a moment, he stood up.
He came forward and walked out without saying a word. When the officials from both sides who were arguing could not help but be a little confused when they saw this, they forgot to continue the quarrel for a moment and all looked at Li Xian.
.
"I have some small matters to be done. I will come back as soon as I go. You all can just continue to discuss it."
As soon as he saw everyone's eyes turned over, Li Xian didn't let everyone worry too much. He explained with a smile, and without stopping for a moment, he walked out of the hall and walked slowly towards the palace gate.
Walk everywhere.
"This old slave has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Ganlu Palace was originally some distance away from Chunhua Gate, and Li Xian's walking speed was not very fast. When he got to the palace gate, Cheng Denggao had been waiting for a long time, but when he saw Li Xian's face, he couldn't help but
Not even daring to complain, he quickly put away the anxious look on his face, quickly rushed to Li Xian, and paid homage to him with great respect.
"Excuse me, does Eunuch Cheng have anything important to do here?"
Although Li Xian disliked Cheng Denggao very much, he did not get angry at him for no reason. Although there was no smile on his face, his words were still warm.
"Returning to His Majesty, this old slave is here to deliver the message on His Majesty's orders."
Cheng Denggao was extremely afraid of Li Xian, so he was very cautious when answering Li Xian's questions. He never dared to talk about side matters except when he was explaining the main business.
Upon hearing that the order came from Gaozong, Li Xian's brows immediately frowned slightly without being noticed, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded calmly, and then raised his voice and gave an order.
"promise!"
Li Xian had an order, and Gao Miao did not dare to neglect it. He respectfully agreed and directed a group of eunuchs to bring incense cases and other items. After a while, everything needed to receive the order was ready.
Done.
"The Holy Emperor has an edict: The big eaters are small barbaric countries. If they don't surrender, they can be destroyed. Now that they are afraid and come back, I should allow them to be lenient. However, the court has its own rules. How can we allow foreign countries to care about them?
, I have Prince Li Xian lead the ministers and others to have a detailed discussion with him, and it will last for half a month. If he gets rampant again, I will definitely not spare him, and I admire this!"
Cheng Deng stood upright behind the copywriter, unfolded the rolled imperial edict, cleared his throat briefly, and announced the short imperial edict in a drawl.
"I accept the decree and thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The decree announced by Cheng Denggao was obviously not Gaozong's original intention, but the result of Empress Wu's manipulation behind his back. Naturally, his intention was not to give Li Xian any chance to delay. His intentions were not evil, but Li Xian was not.
He showed no dissatisfaction and thanked him politely, then stretched out his hands and took the imperial edict handed over by Cheng Denggao.
"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty is still waiting for a reply, so I won't delay any more. I say goodbye. I say goodbye."
Once the imperial edict was delivered, Cheng Denggao didn't want to stay any longer, so he hurriedly said goodbye.
"Well, thanks for your hard work, Eunuch Cheng, let's go!"
After receiving the order, Li Xian seemed to be thinking too much about the young and the old, and he had no intention of talking too much with Cheng Denggao. He just said something neutral and sent Cheng Denggao away, but he stood there blankly.
He stayed in the same place without moving for a long time.
"Your Highness."
Gao Miao directed a group of young eunuchs to pack away the incense table and other items. When he looked back, he saw that Li Xian was still there in a daze. He couldn't help but feel worried, so he called out from the side.
"Um."
Li Xian seemed worried, but in his heart he was secretly happy, for no other reason than that this decree not only did not embarrass Li Xian, but also gave Li Xian a good opportunity to make use of the topic, but what?
Before revealing it, Li Xian had no intention of revealing it, let alone revealing it. Although the deception tactics were old-fashioned, they were easy to use at this time. Li Xian was also happy to let Empress Wu be happy first. When the time comes,
Wouldn't it be fun to pour a basin of cold water on him? Of course, Li Xian knew what he was thinking, but he would not tell Gao Miao about it. He just said noncommittally and then
Then he turned around and walked towards the palace.
"well……"
When he saw that Li Xian was a little distracted, Gao Miao couldn't help but feel a little more worried, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He could only sigh slightly and follow Li Xian step by step. In such a situation
As soon as it came out, someone rushed to report it to Empress Wu...
There is never a peaceful scene in the so-called negotiation, especially when both sides have concerns, it is normal to criticize each other. No, the annoying noise started from the first day, and by the third
It was almost noon for three days, and there was no sign of improvement. The usually solemn Ganlu Hall was transformed into a colosseum by officials from both sides. If it weren't for Li Xian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, who was suppressing the formation.
, maybe both sides don’t know how many full-scale martial arts performances are about to take place.
"Everyone, as noon is approaching, let's stop here and take a rest first before continuing."
Listening to people arguing for three days in a row was really not a pleasant thing to watch. Even though Li Xian's heart was not in it, and he just listened randomly, he was still dizzy and dizzy from the noise, and his energy was no better.
Where to go, but after seeing Li Yaodong hurried in from outside the palace and making a gesture to him in an extremely concealed manner, Li Xian instantly became energetic, regardless of the fact that Yuan Wanqing was delivering an impassioned speech below, and pressed his hand,
The order was given in a tone that left no room for doubt.
"promise!"
Li Xian opened his mouth, but no one dared to show any dissatisfaction. Even Yuan Wanqing, who was choked by Li Xian's move, could only bow his head obediently and accept his promise, while a group of young eunuchs came forward to greet him.
, inviting officials from both sides to eat and rest in a side hall of the palace.
"Your Highness, the urgent documents have been sent to the Ministry of War. Now it's almost time to transfer to Liu."
After everyone retreated, Li Yaodong hurriedly rushed to Li Xian and reported in a very low voice.
"Okay, here come, prepare the car, I want to enter the palace immediately to face the saint!"
Li Xian had been waiting for so many days, waiting for such an urgent report. At this time, he refused to delay at all, and hurriedly started shouting. With this order, the East Palace was busy. Fortunately,
The people in the East Palace were all experienced and experienced people. Although they were busy but not in a hurry, after a while, the carriages and horses were ready. After Li Xian got on the golden chrome carriage, the large group of people marched towards the Ming Dynasty on Longshou Plain.
Gong rushed there...
"Your Highness, Pei Xingjian and Liu Rengui are here. They say they have urgent military affairs to report."
It was almost noon, and although Empress Wu was still in good spirits after criticizing the poems all morning, she was still a little hungry. She just put down the ink pen in her hand and was about to pass on the meal when she saw Cheng Denggao emerge from behind the screen.
He came out, quickly rushed to the copywriter, and carefully made a report.
"Huh? Military affairs, or even military affairs?"
Empress Wu had just discussed with the King of Yue the day before yesterday whether there would be any changes in the frontline military affairs. This unexpected military affairs had just come. Empress Wu was immediately frightened and she hurriedly asked.
"I don't know what I want to say to the Queen. I have asked before, but Prime Minister Pei refused to say it clearly. He just said that he wanted to see the Queen urgently."
Cheng Denggao had been following Empress Wu for many years, so he knew Empress Wu's temperament. When he saw Empress Wu's expression was wrong, he couldn't help but panic. He didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he hurriedly explained.
"Xuan!"
Upon hearing what Cheng Denggao said, Empress Wu immediately became a little more serious. She frowned and thought for a while, but still did not dare to delay too much. Then she gritted her teeth and waved her hand to speak.
"promise!"
Seeing that Empress Wu had no intention of pursuing him, Cheng Deng's heart immediately relaxed. He didn't dare to stay any longer. He hurriedly accepted the promise and hurriedly exited the imperial study. Without turning around, he was already accompanying Pei.
, Liu Erxiang turned back from outside.
"I will see you, the Queen of Heaven."
When they saw Wu Hou sitting high on his head as if he were drowning, Pei and Liu did not dare to be rude, so they walked forward quickly and paid homage respectfully.
"My beloved sirs, please get up and show me where you are seated."
Although Empress Wu was anxious to know what the so-called military affairs were like, she did not forget the proper etiquette. She raised her hand gently and gave an order.
"Thank you for your kindness. I have urgent military affairs to report. There is chaos in the hometown of Tubo!"
The military situation was urgent. As the chief assistant, Pei Xingjian felt that he had a heavy responsibility. After thanking him, he did not go to sit down and hurriedly reported the general's situation.
"What? How could this happen!"
Empress Wu originally thought that the military situation was coming from the Persian front line, but when she heard that there was another turmoil in the Tibetan homeland, her heart skipped a beat and she stood up in surprise.
"The emergency military report from Hongshan Palace is here. Please take a look at it!"
When he saw Empress Wu acting like this, Pei Xingjian did not dare to delay for a moment. He stretched out his hand and took out a military newspaper from his wide sleeves. He held it in both hands and handed it to Empress Wu...
