Great Tang Broom Star

As soon as Jia Pingan arrived outside the value room, he heard movement inside.

"Do you still dare to talk nonsense?"

Why does this voice sound a little annoyed?

"Ah Weng, big butts are really good. I asked Xu Jingzong earlier, and he said that looking at beauties every day makes him energetic, and thinking about beauties every day makes him not feel old... Ah Weng, look at you all the time Just miss others, so why not miss beauty."

Bang bang bang bang bang!

There was a beating.

This baby Li Jingye is really a tough guy, he broke his heart because of his grandfather's body.

"British Duke."

Jia Pingan said softly.

The door opened, and Li Jingye came out as if nothing had happened, "Brother, please come in."

Li Ji looked very bad, his right hand was shaking slightly, which showed that he was seriously injured by the shock force.

Jia Ping'an came up with an idea: Is this how Li Jingye's ability to resist attacks was refined?

After sitting down, Jia Pingan asked about Nanzhao.

"Even if there is no copper coin, the Tang Dynasty can use cloth to make it, but it is close to Tubo. If the Tang Dynasty can gather the Liuzhao troops, then it can contain Tubo from another direction."

It turned out that Li Ji was not looking at any copper mines, but the chrysanthemums in Tubo.

Jia Ping'an couldn't help but feel ashamed!

"Then why did the court oppose it?"

Li Ji glanced at him, "Don't you know?"

Jia Pingan laughed and said, "It's too far away, it's hard to control."

Li Ji nodded, "But if this is done, there will be a steady stream of harassing Tubo in the next few decades."

This is the long-term strategy, and Lao Li is really extraordinary.

"The copper mine is probably fake, right?"

Li Jingye said something suddenly.

Li Ji looked at him slowly, his eyes full of relief.

My son, you have become wiser.

"What do you think?"

Just like every father and grandfather, Li Ji wished he could cut Li Jingye's brain open to see if his brain circuits were normal from now on.

Li Jingye said confidently: "If there are copper mines, those people in Nanzhao are not allowed to open mines and earn money by themselves?"

That's okay too?

This logic is flawless.

Li Ji nodded frequently, very pleased.

But Master Jia knew that Li Jingye was wrong.

The situation on the Nanzhao side is complicated. According to the historical records of later generations, the other five Zhaozhao flirt with Tubo, only Nanzhao is closer to the Tang Dynasty. The two sides use these two forces to fight in the air.

There are a lot of copper mines in Yunnan, so it should be true that the Nanzhao envoy said that they found copper mines.

But their motives for revealing the incident were not pure.

Lao Li's strategic idea of ​​targeting Tubo was right, and the prime ministers were right about thinking that place was a quagmire.

Jia Pingan and Li Jingye went out.

"Brother, Ah Weng looked a little gloomy earlier."

Although Li Jingye is heartless, he has a lot of affection for his grandfather.

Old Li was actually gloomy because he was angered by Chu Suiliang and others' words that "the old British man is too old to be reused".

If this matter is to be resolved, the only way is to start with the messenger.

"I'm going to find the king, you go by yourself."

"What do you know about the king?"

"Uh! It's just a person."

Jia Pingan went to the residence of Honglu Temple.

"Is Zhu Shaoqing here?"

A small official said: "Zhu Shaoqing is talking with the Nanzhao envoy."

good chance!

Jia Ping turned his eyes and saw someone holding a hand outside a room, so he knew that the place of conversation was there.

"Just say something, please see Zhu Shaoqing."

The little official said indifferently: "I'm sorry, Uncle Wuyang, it's important to talk to the envoy. Whoever comes, Zhu Shaoqing can't separate himself."

Jia Pingan raised his voice, "Zhu Shaoqing."

What envoys are not envoys? When he and Zhu Tao met the envoys from foreign domains, they were very casual.

The little official changed color, "Uncle Wuyang, please go ahead!"

This is an order to evict guests. If you don't leave, you will be driven away.

The door opened, and the little official panicked, "Zhu Shaoqing, I failed to stop Uncle Wuyang."

"You don't have to say, I know."

Knowing the king came out, he smiled and said, "Why did Uncle Wuyang teach me?"

Diplomacy is a very professional profession, and it is difficult for outsiders to guess the feeling of sympathy between those who know how to do it.

Jia Pingan took a look inside and said in a low voice: "I heard earlier that there was a dispute between the court and the Chinese government over the Nanzhao Copper Mine, so I just know something..."

You want to fart!

Several officials who came out together took a look at Jia Pingan, thinking that this man was really fantastic.

"What is it?"

"About the copper mine."

Zhu Tao nodded, "So I invite Uncle Wuyang to talk about it."

Several officials looked surprised, "Zhu Shaoqing, this is about my Honglu Temple."

The attitude of these people to protect the interests of the department is impeccable, but Wang Wang is a diplomatic fanatic and likes to study these things with experts.

"You don't have to say it, I know."

Knowing Wang arrogantly interrupted the complaints of the officials under his command, and invited Jia Pingan in.

Inside sat a young man in Tang costume.

"This is Luo Shengyan, the son of Nanzhao leader Xi Nuluo."

Luo Shengyan stood up and cupped his hands.

"This is Wuyang Bojia Ping'an."

Jia Pingan cupped his hands.

Sit down immediately.

The last time Jia Ping'an and Zhu Tao teamed up to trick the people of Silla and Wa, it can be said that they cooperated perfectly.

So this time Zhu Tao was looking forward to it. He winked and signaled Jia Pingan to come on.

Luo Shengyan looked very calm, which shows that he is deeply loved by Xi Nuluo.

The best way to deal with this kind of people...

"The Tang Dynasty heard that the other five imperial edicts flirted with the Tubo people, and that they violated the Nan imperial edict a lot. Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with this."

These words were concise and powerful, which instantly lifted Luo Shengyan's spirits.

Zhu Tao looked at the officials under his command, implying that they should learn more.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Tang, for your care." Luo Shengyan couldn't help feeling more fond of Jia Pingan, "The other five imperial edicts often harassed Nanzhao, but Nanzhao often chose to keep things quiet for the sake of the overall situation. After a long time, those people actually felt that You can be deceived by Nanzhao, and dare to raise troops to attack."

Show him concern and make him feel loved!

There was more sympathy in Jia Ping's eyes, "It's a pity that the Tang Dynasty is far away from Nanzhao, otherwise, if His Majesty gives an order, the army will come in the morning and evening, and it will be easy to destroy the imperial food."

These words seemed sympathetic, but they cut off the possibility of Datang sending troops to help from the very beginning.

This method can be called skillful.

This man really thinks we want reinforcements? Sure enough, a fool. Luo Shengyan looked regretful, "If this is the case, it is really regrettable. If Datang can send troops... hey!"

Huh!

its not right!

When Jia Pingan saw his appearance, he knew that this matter might be a bit strange.

If he came here to ask for reinforcements, it means that the situation in Nanzhao is precarious. But he looks regretful, but not anxious...

I'll try it out.

Jia Pingan suddenly said: "I just remembered that Tang Dynasty also has many troops in the southwest, if..."

As he spoke, he pretended to be casually looking at the other side.

Luo Shengyan's eyelids twitched, and his lips were tightly pursed.

This means tension.

What is he nervous about?

Nervous Datang sent troops to Nanzhao.

Boy, your acting skills are good!

Jia Pingan laughed and said, "If Nanzhao needs it, the Tang Dynasty can send troops."

Are you afraid of being punished for saying this?

Those officials all looked at Zhu Tao.

Whether or not to send troops is not something that Honglu Temple can decide, let alone Jia Ping'an's interference.

At this moment, what he said to send troops, turned back to the court to oppose it, it was just his own bad luck, and I, Honglu Temple, He Gu, was also punished.

Zhu Tao was looking at Luo Shengyan.

He noticed that Luo Shengyan's eyes were a little anxious.

This person is actually impatient?

"Since the Tang Dynasty does not have many troops in the southwest, Nanzhao can hold on by himself."

He actually refused?

The hearts of those officials tightened, followed by anger.

Good boy, asking for reinforcements is false, is this asking for resources?

Xiao Jia is indeed a talented diplomat. If he can follow me for a few years, he will definitely become a rising star in Honglu Temple.

Zhu Tao couldn't help nodding his head slightly.

Jia Pingan persisted for a while, and Luo Shengyan broke into a sweat.

"Where is the copper mine?"

Jia Pingan suddenly had a big turning point in the topic.

Luo Shengyan said subconsciously: "It's in Nanzhao."

good!

Implemented one thing.

"Can Tubo take any action?"

How did I just say it?

Luo Shengyan was a little annoyed, "Tubo often bewitches the other five imperial edicts to attack Nanzhao."

The corners of Zhu Tao's mouth curled up slightly, thinking that this is the most valuable news!

Tubo bewitched the other five imperial edicts, indicating that they did not have the ability to attack from the southwest, so they could only let the five edicts contain Nanzhao and keep their own chrysanthemums.

Jia Pingan smiled and said: "Your envoy is coming from afar, so you can walk around Tiantai Mountain."

Luo Shengyan felt a little confused at the moment, got up and said: "Uncle Wuyang seems to be hostile to Nanzhao."

This is impotent rage after loss!

Jia Pingan said indifferently: "Jia is guarding the interests of Datang. If Nanzhao is a friend of Datang, then he will naturally feel the kindness of Datang."

Luo Shengyan once again lost his sense of proportion, "Nanzhao blocked the Tubo people for the Tang Dynasty, just wanted some weapons, money and food, why not give them?"

The little prince lost his temper?

Zhu Tao was secretly delighted, thinking that I'll just wait for you to lose your temper before I can talk.

He put on a straight face, "I don't know what happened to the Nanzhao side. Even if we want to pay for weapons and food, we have to negotiate with the court. If such an expensive envoy goes to rest, I will naturally report today's words to the court."

Luo Shengyan cupped his hands, "I was exhausted all the way and lost my sense of proportion."

Luo Shengyan had been very calm before, even reserved, but now he bowed his head and admitted his mistake...

Everyone's eyes turned to Jia Ping'an.

It was his words that made Luo Shengyan lose ground!

Luo Shengyan was taken to rest, Zhu Tao smiled and said, "Now, do you know why I value Uncle Wuyang so much?"

An official stood up, "Uncle Wuyang's words seemed casual, but after thinking about it carefully, he first said His Majesty's dissatisfaction with the other five imperial edicts. Luo Shengyan must have felt caring and relaxed after hearing this. Then he said the Great Tang The reason why it is inconvenient to send troops...Uncle Wu Yang was observing Luo Shengyan at that time, right?"

Jia Pingan nodded.

The official said with a smile: "Sure enough, I was watching from the sidelines and found that Uncle Wuyang was observing Luo Shengyan's expression, so I also took a closer look and found that the corners of Luo Shengyan's mouth were relaxed..."

Diplomacy is an extremely meticulous and subtle industry, and every facial expression and mantra can become the object of research.

"This shows that Nanzhao didn't want Tang to interfere with the affairs of Liuzhao at all!" Later, Nanzhao relied on Datang's support, and finally unified the Six Zhaozhao during Xuanzong's time, and became Nanzhao Kingdom. archenemy. This is also a typical case of diplomatic failure!

"This shows one thing." Jia Pingan said firmly: "In the eyes of Nanzhao, first use the Tang Dynasty to stabilize the situation, and when the time is right, send troops to unify the six imperial edicts."

This judgment made everyone fall into contemplation.

"So Uncle Wuyang once again mentioned the matter of sending troops, and confirmed that Nanzhao's request for help was just an excuse." The official praised: "Luo Shengyan lost his mind, and when Uncle Wuyang asked about the copper mine, he subconsciously Say it. In this way, Nanzhao's judgment of using copper mines to lure Datang to send troops can be put to rest!"

Zhu Tao said comfortably: "Originally the judgment of Chaozhong and Hongyu Temple was that Nanzhao wanted to use the news of the copper mine to lure the Tang Dynasty to send troops, but now it seems that it is not the case. Then his purpose is clear at a glance, and it is based on this Want weapons, money and food."

Thanks to Jia Pingan!

Jia Ping got up to say goodbye, and everyone changed their previous negligence and got up to see them off.

Then Zhu Tao entered the palace.

"Isn't it to lure Datang to send troops?"

Li Zhi couldn't help sneering at this judgment, "It seems that Nanzhao's mind is not pure, and he wants to take advantage of Datang with his empty teeth."

"Zhu Qing has worked hard." Li Zhi was still very satisfied with Zhu Tao, and even more so after this incident.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Wu Yang asked about this matter, and I dare not take credit for it."

Your Majesty, bring Uncle Wuyang to Honglu Temple, I will take him personally!

Zhu Tao looked at Li Zhi eagerly.

It turned out to be him?

Li Zhi waved his hand when he thought of Jia Ping'an's cheating of the Silla envoy.

Zhu Tao pouted his neck and said, "Your Majesty, Uncle Wu Yang is a talent for diplomacy, so he should come to Honglu Temple."

Li Zhi couldn't help laughing, "Of course I will consider this matter. Besides, today's matter is kept secret for the time being, and cannot be disclosed."

No matter how long-winded it is, it is persecuting the emperor.

Knowing Wang regretted his resignation, but he didn't know why the emperor blocked the news.

Li Zhi watched him go out, and sighed: "Jia Ping'an planned to alienate the Wa country from Silla, and I thought it was a means. But when he went to Mobei last time, he was able to appease the Tong Luo tribe. This seems to be a means. But it is inseparable from the insight into the minds of those tribes. Later, he persuaded the Turkic tribes to join their families, which is a diplomatic means... It seems that I have underestimated him in the past."

Wang Zhongliang said with a flattering smile: "No matter how talented you are, they are just your majesty's servants, and you can let your majesty send you around."

Li Zhi glanced at him, "What do you know?"

At first, he thought that Jia Ping'an was a knife, a knife that he could use and destroy.

But now it seems that this young man is not only a knife, but also has the ability to work for an official.

The treatment of swords and courtiers is naturally different.

It seems that I have to re-examine this young man.

But he has his own means!

"I remember that Wu Mei is dealing with Jia Ping'an's marriage. I will send out some jade articles for her to reward properly."

Wang Zhongliang went.

Li Zhi walked out of the palace and squinted slightly looking at the sky.

"Nanzhao... a small place, dare to play tricks with me? Who gave them the courage!"

The court meeting on the second day.

Chu Suiliang looked at Li Ji and smiled slightly, "Did you think clearly about it yesterday?"

Yesterday Li Ji disagreed with them on the matter of Nanzhao, Chu Suiliang immediately led those people to launch a siege, and his words were too much to be reused.

This is soft knife killing.

Li Ji is old and confused, and often comes up with some bad ideas, which harm the country and the people...

If such a public opinion situation is really to be formed, how can Lao Li have the face to be an official?

Li Ji glanced at him, got up and said: "Your Majesty, I went back yesterday and thought about it for a long time, thinking that the matter of Nanzhao should not be underestimated."

That's it?

The corners of Chu Suiliang's mouth curled up slightly.

"I thought so too!"

Huh!

Why did the emperor agree with him?

Chu Suiliang was puzzled.

"I think the copper mine in Nanzhao is real."

Chu Suiliang immediately retorted: "But there are many forces in Nanzhao, if you go to mine, it will cause accidents. When the southwest is corrupt, will you, the British, go to appease it?"

"Can Prime Minister Chu know what Nanzhao is thinking?"

Li Ji asked with a smile.

"It's nothing more than trying to use the copper mine to lure Datang to send troops."

This is the judgment of the prime ministers.

Xiao Jia sent the news yesterday... Li Ji said coldly: "When the Tang Dynasty sent troops, how could Nanzhao be safe? Don't they worry that the Tang Dynasty will destroy Nanzhao?"

Old people can do this, and even Changsun Wuji has seriously considered this option.

This is a vibrant Tang Dynasty. No matter what disputes there are among the courtiers, when it comes to external issues, the topic of destroying the country at every turn is the most popular.

"Then why did they ask for help?" Chu Suiliang sneered.

"The Tang Dynasty's troops in the southwest are insufficient!" Li Ji said: "So the envoys knew that they would be rejected if they asked for help, but they could immediately retreat and ask for weapons, money and food."

Li Zhi said quietly: "The Tang Dynasty rejected the request to send troops, so it would be unreasonable to refuse these again. This method is not bad."

this……

Chu Suiliang was taken aback, "Is there any verification for this matter?"

"Let Zhu Tao come."

After a while, when Zhu Tao came, Chu Suiliang felt cold when he said something.

The old man criticized Li Ji with this yesterday, now...

Li Ji is a gentle gentleman, if you think about it, it's sarcasm at most, right?

Chu Suiliang felt relieved.

Li Ji got up and looked sideways at him slowly, "It's not uncommon for colleagues in the court and China to have different political views, just explain it, and make it clear. But Chu Xiang often uses the excuse that his colleagues are too old, and he wants to push the old man out of the political affairs hall."

This is torn face.

Li Ji's words directly exposed Chu Suiliang's mind.

It is well known that the small circle wants to engage in Li Ji. But let’s do it, everyone is fighting in secret, who will say it?

Li Ji!

His eyes were sharp, and he stared at Chu Suiliang like a sharp sword, "Dare to ask Mr. Chu, yesterday you said that the old man is old, so what about you today?"

You said that I, Li Ji, was old and stupid, but today I verified that the old man's judgment was correct, so who are you who is wrong?

"Your Majesty, I think that Prime Minister Chu is old and sick, so he should go home to recuperate."

A sharp light flashed in Changsun Wuji's eyes, and he glanced at Li Ji.

Li Ji sneered, but refused to budge.

Why, you are allowed to wait until you yell at the old man, so the old man can't fight back?

"Your Majesty, the old minister is in good health." Chu Suiliang got up, and in order to prove that he was in good health, he raised his hand and turned around.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Chu came here on horseback from Chang'an, and he is in good spirits, which shows that he is in good health."

"Yesterday, I made a bet with Chu Xiang, saying that I will find a place to play horses in a few days."

In an instant, voices supporting Chu Suiliang became the mainstream.

Li Ji cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, I think you should send an envoy to Nanzhao to investigate carefully."

Aren't you guys stabbing each other? Why did you turn around, Li Ji?

Li Zhi nodded, "Prince England's words are very true, and I will leave this matter to you for consideration."

When you were still playing in small circles, I, Li Ji, was thinking about state affairs.

This turn is so beautiful.

Chu Suiliang looked sad, knowing that he was ashamed this time.

"Your lie." Chu Suiliang pleaded guilty.

Later when the prime ministers went out, Shen Qiu came out quietly.

"Yesterday you told the Duke of England about this, how did he react?"

Shen Qiu said: "The Duke of England is a little happy."

Li Zhi nodded, and said quietly after a long time: "He is a smart man."
