The Honglu Temple, which has been idle for many days in the Tang Dynasty, seems to be particularly lively today, because a team of envoys has come to make an envoy.

Different from the Tang Dynasty in history, because of the instigation of Bai Fan's butterfly wings in this era, the Tang Dynasty's national strength has increased sharply, and its external expansion has been rapid.

Now there is only one foreign neighbor left, the Western Turks, but it has been four years since the Tang Dynasty issued a ban on severing diplomatic relations, and Li Er even sent someone to let go of cruel words, and the next one to destroy the country was the Western Turks, who knew that he was persuaded by the ministers, and waited for three years, and then there was an accident in which the Boling Cui clan leaked thunder, so the problem of the Western Turks was delayed again and again, and it was not done.

Li Er, on the Tang side, was anxious to look at the map all day long, but the hundred officials didn't see it, because as the old saying goes, if you are warlike, you will die, and basically no one wants to fight except for the generals.

The Western Turkic side was also frightened enough, and they were worried for three years, but when they saw that the Tang Dynasty was loud and rainy, they became more and more bold, and even made it popular after getting the thunder, and the capable people in the country also knew to expand and plunder westward in order to survive.

The Western Turks took the 36 countries of the Western Regions, and at this time the Persian State bordered to the west, and the Persian national strength was not weak, but after years of development, it has now come to an end, so it no longer has the kind of military might that swept all directions in the early years of the Persian Empire, and was soon defeated under the iron cavalry of the Western Turks.

So in desperation, the Persian State had to find a way to survive, but to the west of them was the newly rising Arab Empire, which was called the Great Food Country by the Tang Dynasty in this era, and the Arab Empire and Persia were old rivals, and they always wanted to annex Persia.

Therefore, in the end, Persia could only implement the method of distant friendship and close attack, cross the Western Turks, and ask for help from the Tang Empire in the east, which led to the grand occasion of the Honglu Temple on this day.

His Majesty Li Er received envoys from Persia at the Taiji Hall Imperial Meeting, because they spoke Persian, and the Tang Hongxu Temple sent Tang Shanzhi, who was good at many Chinese, to accompany him as an interpreter.

"I don't know what the envoys of the Persian State are doing when they come to my Tang Dynasty? You and I have done business in the past, and we can be regarded as friends. Li Er asked.

After talking for a long time, Tang Shanzhi translated to Li Er and the others: "Your Majesty, he said that the Western Turks are invading their country and wants to ask us for support. ”

Wei Zheng opened his mouth and asked, "This red-haired official has been talking for so long, why is this just a sentence?" ”

Tang Shanzhi hurriedly explained: "I am not very proficient in foreign Chinese, and I can't translate some of his local dialects that pour bitter water, but it roughly means this. ”

Everyone thought to themselves, there is no need to listen to the words of bitter water, and we are not interested, this Tang Shanzhi can understand many Chinese languages at a young age, and he is indeed a talent, worthy of being the grandson of Tang Jian of Hongxu Temple.

Li Er opened his mouth and said: "Persia came to ask for help, I intend to fulfill the promise made to the Western Turks four years ago, send troops to attack the Persian east and west, and destroy the Western Turks in one fell swoop." ”

"Your Majesty thinks twice, the minister thinks that this is not a good time to send troops, and he should wait for observation before making a decision." Wei Zheng hurriedly stood up and stopped.

"The ministers seconded the proposal, please think twice." Many scholars followed suit.

The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is a little strange, it stands to reason that he should ask for help from his own neighbors in the west, why did he go far and come to our Datang?" And according to intelligence, this man seems to have come empty-handed. ”

"Hey, the auxiliary machine said cautiously, my Datang is sitting on the four seas, what do you care about if the gift is not successful? Stopping the world is the way of a saint. Li Er opened his mouth to explain.

"Your Majesty, isn't this red-haired man a saint with us, and he wants us to send troops with white teeth? Slippery world! It can be seen that they are not sincere, let alone have a good heart. Du Ruhui said.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji had already walked up to the Persian envoy and asked.

The old fox was such a shrewd person that he already knew a rough idea when the Persian envoy couldn't answer when he saw that the Persian envoy couldn't answer his forehead.

"Your Majesty, this person is deceiving us, their own country is in danger and they are too busy to take care of themselves, the west is also being attacked by neighbors, and the east is being attacked by the Western Turks, it is impossible to stop the destruction of the country, let alone work with me to destroy the Western Turks, so we must not be fooled this time." The eldest grandson Wuji said.

Li Er listened, okay, this red-haired man is so cunning, the Western Turks invaded you, what do you have to do with me? With a flick of his sleeve, Tang Shanzhi rejected the Persians.

When the man saw that the situation was not good, he hurriedly apologized, took out something from his bosom and handed it over, saying that it was a gift.

"Hehe, I'll just say that this person doesn't look like a good person, don't force him, and even want to swallow the gift personally." Eldest Sun Wuji took it and said with a smile.

But looking down at the thing on the paper, he was a little dumbfounded, this, this is not ......

"Auxiliary, what's on paper? Could it be that what kind of treasure can't be done? Make you look like this? The ministers asked.

"What kind of treasure is this, isn't this the secret recipe of the thunder that leaked out of my Datang? This Persian is good at doing business, taking our things and bribing us in turn? ”

Listening to the explanation of the eldest grandson Wuji, everyone's faces darkened, isn't this what the Boling Cui clan leaked to the west to hurt people in the Western Regions? Good guy, dare to show off?

Li Er said angrily: "Come on, blast this person out for me, Datang announced that it will be a hostile country with Persia from now on, and there will be no friendship." ”

In this way, the Persian envoy was knocked out of the Taiji Hall in a daze, and even he thought that the Tang Dynasty had accepted the gift and then turned his face and didn't recognize anyone.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Western Turks can expand westward, and our Tang Dynasty can watch from the wall, just to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, so that the Western Turks can defeat the barbarians in the west, and then our Tang Dynasty will destroy the Western Turks, so that we can receive a larger territory and make a profit.

On the contrary, if we attack the Western Turks now, then they will inevitably stop expanding and return to the rescue of the division, then we will besiege Wei to save Zhao, we don't have such a good friendship with the Western barbarian country, so there is no need to rescue him. ”

After listening to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Er stroked his palms and laughed: "Okay, the words of the auxiliary machine are very much in line with my wishes, a good move to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, then my Tang Dynasty will wait for him to be the Western Turk for a few more years, and when he has leveled the strong enemies in the west, we will take over all the territory, and it can be regarded as his Western Turk to give us a vanguard officer for the unification of the west." ”

As for whether it is possible for the Western Turks to strengthen themselves through continuous plundering and counterattack the Tang Dynasty in the future, this person did not take it to heart, the Western Turks just had a thunderbolt, and they absolutely did not have the strength to counterattack the Tang Dynasty.
