At this time, from Fengxiang, Wang Shao, the deputy envoy of Yingtian in the northwest, sent a letter, saying that Jingyuan passed through Lingwu City, connecting the water transport of Huifu, and the water post along the road had been completed, and the ships of the two places came and went frequently, not only for business, but also for politics.

Anxi Xiting announced that Ju Wenzhen had already taken the boat on the road, and without hesitation, he took the road back to Anxi and set off for the four towns of Anxi.

At the same time, the Hui also sent envoys to Beijing by water.

The purpose is to make friends with the Tang family, of course, there are conditions, that is, I hope that the Tang family will follow the precedent and make peace.

Because of the grudge between Hui Hui and Emperor Li Shi in the past, the emperor has not made up his mind to agree for a while, and this time Hui Hui's requirements are very high: we don't want the daughter of a certain county king of the Li family, this time we want a princess born to the son of heaven.

In the face of Hui Hui's request, Zichen Hall was also discussing fiercely day and night, and the emperor insisted on not complying, saying that I am the Son of Heaven, the eldest princess Lingxu has entered the Tao as a female crown, Princess Yiyang has been married, Princess Deyang and Princess Yun'an (Deyang is thirteen years old, Yun'an is only two years old) are still young, and it is difficult for them to marry Hui Hui.

But the Hui envoy did not relent, and made two choices to the emperor:

1. Xu Pei Deyang or Yun'an entered the desert, and Hui made an alliance with the Tang family with all his heart, and donated 5,000 war horses to the Tang family free of charge every year, and forever broke off relations with Xifan, and sent troops to support the military town of Anbeiting, which the Tang family was still struggling to resist;

2. If the emperor of the Tang family is not allowed to make peace, Hui Hui will immediately throw himself into Xifan, first destroy the northwest court of Anxi, and then join forces to attack the Tang family.

At this time, the ruling prime minister Li Mi pestered the emperor and continued to make bitter remarks, saying that there were three advantages to making peace with the Hui Hui: first, it could attract Hui Hui horses and greatly expand the armament of our Tang Dynasty in the northwest, and the army would be strong; Second, once Hui Hui and our Tang Dynasty form an alliance and cause a chain reaction, Yunnan will also loosen, switch to our Tang Dynasty, and isolate Western Tibet; The third is that Hui Hui can directly reinforce Anxi and Beiting military towns, and with the help of Jingyuan and Lingwu waterways, I Tang can also continue to send small-scale troops and materials to Hui Dao to replenish blood in Anxi and Beiting.

"Your Majesty, as long as Anxi and Beiting can hold out in this situation for a few more years, I, Tang Dynasty, will be able to carry out a counteroffensive against Helong in the northwest, and for this reason, we must also join forces with Yunnan and Huifu to form a three-sided encirclement of Xifan. Your Majesty, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the soldiers can obtain the stability of the northern and southern borders without blood, and the ministers are old and willing to spend the last few years, swearing to assist Your Majesty, and rejuvenate the country, so that the ministers are dead and immortal. In the end, facing the arrogant and stubborn emperor who was still there, Li Mi didn't care about knocking on the side, and directly took off the crown and kept knocking until he bleed.

The emperor hurriedly helped Li Mi up, sighed and said that Mr. Cheng Cheng I already know, let me think about it again.

After nightfall, the emperor received a note from Gao Yue.

Inside, "Gao Gao Shen" (Gao Yue's current envoy has a staff governor) persuaded the emperor to say that Han Gaozu has the siege of Baideng, and Emperor Taizong of our dynasty has the Weishui Alliance, but this is just a temporary expedient measure, and now Hui Hui or Yunnan, are increasingly dissatisfied with the arrogance of Xifan, and it is indeed time to fight for them to defect to my Tang Dynasty. Therefore, when it comes to hatred for Hui Hui, how can the minister be reduced to His Majesty? However, although Hui Hui is arrogant, he has never invaded the territory of our Tang Dynasty, and the Xifan side is a great trouble today, please understand the principle of priority, as long as the ministers repair the water and land passages in the southwestern counties, and then rely on the wealth of Xingyuan, Shannan Dongdao, Jingnan, and Jiannan to supply the army, there will be no defects, and Wei Gao, Du Huangshang, Fan Ze, and Cao Wanggao have reached a consensus to prepare to attack the Xizhou occupied by Xifan this winter, so as to defeat and promote Yunnan and our Tang peace talks; His Majesty lived in the north, took back the alliance of Su, and the ministers first attacked Shanzhou, and then collected Qinzhou, forced Xifan to make peace, and then led His Majesty to camp to exterminate the Dangqiang, and then pacified Huaixi, so that His Majesty's heroic martyrs could go far to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu......

The phrase "Yuanmai Qin Emperor Han Wu" really moved Li Shi, he is still in the shadow of the defeat in the battle of the Ping Domain, and now the emperor not only needs victory in foreign wars, but also needs internal victories.

Huaixi Town, which jumped to death, was also on the emperor's blacklist.

I can't leave this kind of reckless Fang Zhen behind the descendants of the scourge - in the end, the emperor figured this matter through.

So that night, the emperor cried bitterly in the Liangyi Hall to the gods of Wei Shaohua and Wei Ju, who died tragically in the hands of Hui Hui in the past, saying that for the sake of the country, I can only forget the oath I want to hate for the two of you for the time being, and compromise my heart to negotiate peace with Hui Hui.

Three days later, the emperor held a rare court meeting in the Xuanzheng Palace, and in front of the Manchu civil and military and Hui envoys, he issued an edict agreeing to let Princess Deyang marry to Wuyi Khan, and the trip was completed three years later.

The Hui envoy was overjoyed and said to the emperor of the Tang family: "In the past, when Guo Lao Linggong was alive, my Khan and the Son of Heaven were brothers, and now they are sons-in-law, which is really a great joy!" ”

Li Shi said to the Hui envoy: "There are rules in the Han land, and the son-in-law is half a son, can you wait?" ”

The envoy immediately knelt down and said: "After that, I will return to the Tang family, and I will be half of the son of the Tang family, no, the whole son!"

Li Shi almost called the other party "Dad" in the palace.

Subsequently, the officials of Honglu Monastery and the Hui envoys reached a package agreement:

The Tang Dynasty allowed the Hu merchants who returned to Hui to return to Gyeonggi and opened the two lines of water and land trade between Lingwu-Jingyuan and Zhenwu City, but the Hui caravans had to pay taxes to the military town for transit, and the settlement of goods was unified with silk and silk cloth (this was beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, one could arbitrage metal currency, the other could digest the excess silk production of Jianghuai and alleviate the money shortage, and the third was to use silk as currency, which greatly saved freight compared with copper coins, because silk was lighter than copper coins of the same price);

The Hui must donate 5,000 war horses to the Tang family free of charge every year, and the Hui must reinforce the Tang family military town in the northwest court of Anxi to avoid the fall of Xifan.

Not long after, the Wuyi Khan of the Hui was overjoyed to hear that the Tang family had promised to marry, and sent an envoy to Beijing, and the emperor asked the Hui to change his name to "Uighur" from then on.

At this time, in the official residence of Xingyuan Mansion in Shannan, Han Yu was following behind Gao Yue, his speech was a little impatient, and he was still fiercely debating the disposal of Zuoshi Huang Wenyu in Chenggu County.

Han Yu's opinion is that Huang Wenyu can be killed with a cane, but the treatment of his five sons is too cruel and completely illegal.

Gao Yue was not in a hurry, he looked at the various herbs planted by his wife with a smile, and touched the leaves, "Han Shilang, you said that Ben Yin is a deep sin against the five sons of the Huang family, but you still don't know, only deep sin can make people fear the law." Killing dozens of corrupt officials with a rod, the officials can be clear, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the good is great, which is the origin of the fierce medicine. ”

"But......" Han Yu is also tough enough, and he has to debate.

Gao Yue didn't care either, laughed, and said to Han Yu that it would be better to do this, anyway, the roads in Banan and Langzhong are about to be completed, don't tell others, the right is a little secret between you and me - you can write an article to refute Ben Yin in the name of "Han Shishi".

"How dare you!" Han Yu said that what he cared about was Gao Yue's reputation.

Gao Yue said that it was okay, it was okay, people who did political affairs would not be afraid of slander, you write it, I asked Yangzhou Paper Mill and Diaozifang to print it in the nature of a newspaper and post it in all prefectures and counties of Xingyuan, so that bureaucrats, officials, soldiers or ordinary people can come to see and judge.
