Chen hour had already passed, and in the Manlu Palace, officials from both sides involved in the negotiations had already taken their positions. However, after waiting for a long time, Li Xian, who was in charge of the overall situation, did not show up. Everyone was inevitably a little anxious, but on such an occasion,
But no one dared to talk nonsense and ask questions. They could only sit patiently in their seats and quietly wait for Li Xian's arrival. The difference was that the officials from the big food side had relatively relaxed expressions, while the big food side officials had a relatively relaxed expression.
The officials of the Tang Dynasty had solemn expressions on their faces, which was exactly the opposite of the situation in the previous few days. The atmosphere in the hall was indeed somewhat intriguing.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a message, please meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Dashi in the back hall!"
Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was almost midnight, but Li Xian still did not appear. Officials on both sides could not sit still, and then they saw Gao Miao hurriedly came out of the back hall.
, regardless of the expressions on everyone’s faces, he shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Thank you, Eunuch Gao, for leading the way."
After listening to the interpreter's translation, Yezid Ibn Abu was stunned for a moment, but soon he came to his senses, led Tong Yixing forward, and bowed to Gao Miao very politely.
He thanked me politely.
"Your Highness has an order to invite only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Please stay with your entourage."
Gao Miao nodded slightly as a return gift, but he did not save Yezid Ibn Abu too much face. He stretched out his hand, blocked the way of the interpreter, and spoke expressionlessly.
"You stay, Eunuch Gao, please!"
Upon hearing that Li Xian only invited him, Yezid Ibn Abu could not help but frown slightly, but he did not object. After giving instructions to the interpreter, he waved his hand to signal Gao Miao to lead the way.
"Wait!"
Just when Gao Miao was about to turn around, he heard a loud shout suddenly. Everyone was looking for someone to pass by, and they saw Yuan Wanqing jumping out.
"Master Yuan, do you have any advice?"
Gao Miao didn't like to see Yuan Wanqing, a die-hard rear party member, but on such occasions, it was hard to show off too much to him. After all, this guy still held the title of Deputy Negotiator. Of course, he wanted Gao Miao to smile.
It was absolutely impossible to greet him, so he just said something neutral.
"I don't dare. It's just that today is still the time for peace talks. How is it that His Highness the Crown Prince does not come to the meeting place in person, but has a private meeting with the Crown Prince of Dashi?"
Yuan Wanqing was an arrogant person. He didn't care that he was in the East Palace and he casually accused Li Xian of his misdeeds.
"The Sa family doesn't know what's going on. His Highness is in the back hall at this moment. If Deputy Envoy Yuan has any questions, he might as well go and ask His Highness himself."
Upon hearing Yuan Wanqing's rude words, Gao Miao's face immediately became serious. He smiled coldly and left an explanation. Then, regardless of Yuan Wanqing's expression, he led Yezid Ibn Abu to
Marched into the apse.
"Hey, you..., it's outrageous, it's so outrageous, I want to interfere with you, interfere with you!"
Yuan Wanqing thought that he had the title of deputy peace envoy and should have considerable status, but he never expected that Gao Miao would not spare him any face. He immediately turned pale with anger and raised his feet as if he really planned to rush in.
However, when he thought of Li Xian's cruelty, he didn't have the courage to break in. He could only stamp his feet and curse in a vented manner. He was no different from a mad dog. The interesting thing is that no matter what
No matter how he danced, no matter it was the Tang Dynasty officials who were also involved in the negotiations or the Dashi officials sitting opposite, they all ignored him and allowed him to go crazy. After making a fuss for a while, no one paid attention to him, and Yuan Wanqing also
He could only sit back down helplessly.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty."
Not to mention how Yuan Wanqing was making a fuss in the front hall, but Yezid Ibn Abu followed Gao Miao through the halls and alleys to the study in the back hall. Just after turning around the screen, he saw Li Xianzheng sitting behind the copywriter.
, apart from Li Xian himself, there was only one interpreter in the huge study room. He couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't dare to be rude. He walked forward quickly and bowed respectfully.
.
"Your Excellency, there is no need to be polite, please take a seat."
After quietly listening to the translator's translation, Li Xian nodded slightly, pointed to the opposite side of Ji Zi, and spoke in a calm tone.
"Thank you, His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, for granting me a seat."
Yezid Ibn Abu vaguely guessed the purpose of Li Xian's invitation for a private interview, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited. However, the city was so deep that he didn't bring it to his face. After saying a polite word, he was very generous.
Fang Di lifted up the hem of his robe and sat down opposite Li Xian, as if he was listening respectfully to his instructions.
"Your Excellency, please have some tea."
Li Xian did not send orders to others, but personally picked up the teapot that was burning on the small stove, poured a bowl of tea for Yezid Ibn Abu, and gestured with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The Dashi people did not originally have the habit of drinking tea, and tea was not produced locally. All the tea came from the Tang Dynasty, and only the upper class were qualified to taste it. As the crown prince, Yezid Ibn Abu usually
Of course, tea is indispensable for spending money, but I don’t pay much attention to it. After thanking me, I picked up the tea bowl and drank it in big gulps, regardless of how hot the water was. The posture was like a cow.
There was no difference between chewing peonies, and Li Xian couldn't help but smile.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have already known about the chaos in the hometown of Tubo?"
Li Xian did not interrupt Yezid Ibn Abu's drinking of beef until he put down his tea bowl and then spoke slowly.
"I have heard a little bit, but I don't know much about it. What, is this rebellion serious?"
Yezid Ibn Abu originally planned to use this matter as a trump card to bargain with Li Xian, but he did not expect that Li Xian would reveal the answer to the mystery himself. Unprepared, he felt in his heart
I couldn't help but feel a little panicked, but I didn't show it on my face. Instead, I bowed my body and asked tentatively.
"Well, it is very serious. However, it is just a scabies problem. It can be cured by raising your hands. It will only delay for half a year at most. If your country doesn't believe it, you can send troops to invade the country."
Li Xian smiled confidently and explained nonchalantly.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is joking. Our country is sincere in entering into an alliance with the Tang Dynasty. We will not act rashly regarding the so-called raising of troops. I can vouch for this, so please rest assured, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Upon hearing Li Xian's words, Yazid Ibn Abu couldn't help but tremble, and he bowed to conceal himself, making a very sincere guarantee.
"This is the best. I will not hide it from you. There is a lot of controversy between the DPRK and the Central Government on the peace negotiation. To be serious, the opinion of destroying your country still has the upper hand. If I hadn't suppressed it, the army would have already advanced. Now that it is
There are things happening around you, but this is a good opportunity for your country to seek peace, so please don’t make the mistake of doing so, Your Highness."
Since Li Xian took over the peace talks, he had already made careful arrangements. The fact that the rear party members deliberately released the news of rebellion in Tubo had long been expected by Li Xian. Naturally, he also knew that Ye Zide? Ibn
?Abu has already learned about this news, but Li Xian doesn't care, let alone be confused by it. Although his words are plain, there is no doubt about his determination.
"Your Highness clearly understands that our country is indeed sincere in its alliance with the Tang Dynasty and has maintained friendship from generation to generation. However, the prerequisite is that your country must withdraw its troops from our territory. This is our bottom line. Apart from this, everything can be discussed.
"
Although Yazid Ibn Abu wanted to make peace, he never wanted to bow his head and give in. Even in the face of Li Xian's aggressive threats, he was not willing to be outdone and boldly stated his side's demands.
"Your Majesty the Crown Prince, please forgive me for disagreeing with this statement. The place where our army is stationed is the Kingdom of Persia. What does it have to do with your country? Do you really think that the land that we have seized is the territory of your country? To tell you the truth, I
Although the palace is not willing to fight, but if you really want to fight, destroying your country is just a matter of effort. If you are still so insistent, there is no need to talk about this peace negotiation. You, please return to the country on your own. We and you have made it clear.
Why not fight again!"
Li Xian has always been a strong person, not to mention that the so-called chaos in Tubo is just a smoke bomb created by Li Xian. He is already within the control, and he has a lot of confidence in his heart. If he is not afraid of the emptiness in Hexi
, how could he have talked so much with Yezid Ibn Abu, who had already sent troops to destroy the Dashi Kingdom. At this moment, when he heard what Yezid Ibn Abu said, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.
, his face darkened, and he retorted unceremoniously.
"Your Highness, what you said is wrong. Persia no longer exists. Under the guidance of my true God, all its people are believers. There are no people in Persia anymore. All we have are the people of my true God. How can we bear to abandon them!"
Yezid Ibn Abu was also a man with a strong character. Even though he was defeated by Li Xian, he refused to give in even a little bit in terms of momentum. He killed Persia with one blow, which was a land of great food.
"True God? That is your true God. The people of Persia believe in Manichaeism, not the teachings of your country. You use a butcher knife to force people to believe in religion, and you also falsely claim that the true God guides you. Do you really think that I don't know that you are living in peace?
?I will leave my words here. If you really want to make peace, you can. Our army will withdraw to Congling and use Persia as a buffer for us. No party is allowed to enter here. If there is any violation, it will be regarded as a declaration of war. Where to go?
, Your Excellency, you can come back to see me after you go back for discussion. We will discuss it here today to see you off!"
The words were not speculative, and any further talk would be in vain. After Li Xian put aside the last condition, he did not give Yazid Ibn Abu a chance to say more, and simply issued an order to expel the guest.
"Your Highness stayed, I took my leave."
Yezid Ibn Abu obviously didn't expect that Li Xian would be so tough. He opened his mouth and seemed to be planning to explain something, but in the end he still didn't say anything. He just raised his hands and saluted, and then
