Chapter 390: Who Said It Was a Dowry?
"Poof!" As soon as Chen Fei spoke, Li Zhi, who was sitting opposite, squirted out a mouthful of water, and then smiled at Li Shimin awkwardly. "Father, the son of the emperor lost his honor, and asked the father to blame."
Li Shimin also held back a smile, and didn't care about Li Zhi's disgrace, but pointed at Chen Fei, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say for a long time.
In the past two days, he has also discussed with many ministers about the matter of Tibet's marriage courtship. Almost all the ministers were against it, including Li Shimin himself.
They have been struggling with how to elegantly refuse Tibet, and they can't just blow people away if they can't ask for relatives, right? Lost the bearing of a great power.
So a group of people struggled with how to refuse people elegantly and not gracefully, and they didn't discuss the reason for a long time.
And Chen Fei's method is more yin, and he does not refuse either method, but Tubo also does not get much benefit.
Anyway, we don't have a princess, so you can give gifts at will.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the second method mentioned by the minister will be implemented first, and the gifts they send will be accepted, but if you ask for relatives, you will use the procrastination trick, anyway, we can afford it, and he Songtsan Gampo can't afford it."
"I'm afraid... Isn't that right? Xiao Zhengtai Li Zhi raised his hand to speak.
Li Shimin smiled and let Li Zhi speak. "If Zhi'er thinks there is anything wrong, you can say it."
Li Zhi stood up, saluted Chen, and then expressed his opinion. "Father, Brother Chen. Since Tubo came to ask for marriage, it is natural to send a dowry for courtship, and if we accept the dowry but do not agree to the marriage, I am afraid that we will be ridiculed by the people of the world. Ordinary people still disdain this, let alone our royal family? And Tubo this time to ask for marriage, since entering the customs has been spreading momentum, all day know that Tubo has come to kiss again, and even their prime minister Lu Dongzan came in person, it can be said that it is full of sincerity, if we only accept gifts, not kiss, this is ......"
"Zhi'er is right, Chen Fei, only accept gifts and do not allow relatives, this method is very inappropriate, the people are not ashamed, how do you teach me to do it?"
Hey, you're still underestimating how shameless I am.
Chen Fei shook his head helplessly. "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Jin. I said to accept the gift, but I didn't say to accept the dowry. ”
"Oh?" Li Shimin and Li Zhi glanced at each other and didn't understand what Chen Fei meant. "What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, at the beginning of September, Tubo raised 200,000 troops to invade our border, Songzhou City was slaughtered, almost all the soldiers defending the city were killed, and there was not one in ten people in the city. Shouldn't we be given an explanation? ”
Li Zhi still didn't understand what Chen Fei meant, but Li Shimin reacted. Staring at Chen Fei, he asked with interest, "You mean... Let the Tibetans apologize? ”
"Yes!" Chen Fei came to his senses, and it seemed that when he talked about money, he was very excited.
"Your Majesty, there is also a compensation order for people who smash and fight each other, and the same is true between the two countries. We paid such a big price, he Tubo actually wanted to expose it lightly, kept silent about the past, and was bent on begging for marriage, Your Majesty, can we be so cheap for them? ”
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then felt... Makes sense!
Tubo offended the border of the Tang Dynasty, Songzhou City was almost slaughtered, such a large casualty, they didn't say anything, they actually said as soon as they came, we owe you in the Tang Dynasty? Make no mistake, who lost the battle!
Dowry? Let's talk about it first!
"Your Majesty, there is one more thought on this matter."
"Say!"
"Let the students of Guozijian draft an article accusing the Tibetans of what they have done, and circulate it all over the world, on the other hand, Your Majesty can secretly send people to incite the emotions of the masses and the students, surround the Sifang Pavilion where the Tubo people are located, and scold and reprimand them, preferably directly scolding them...... Of course, people can go, and the rites must stay.
In this way, His Majesty stands in the perspective of all the people in the world, and drives away the Tibetan envoys in a bright and bright way. ”
After Chen Fei finished speaking, he winked at Li Shimin twice.
Li Shimin's cheeks twitched, not knowing whether he wanted to laugh or something. Anyway, after listening to Chen Fei's idea, he mourned for Tubo for three minutes.
On the strategy of the Yin people, hehe, if Chen Fei dares to say second, I am afraid that no one will dare to call him first.
"You kid is really..."Li Shimin shook his head, and finally asked Li Zhi. Zhi'er, what do you think of this method? ”
Li Zhi glanced at Chen Fei with a strange expression, and then arched his hand: "Father, Zhi'er thinks that this method... Feasible! ”
"Well, I think it's feasible, but the specific steps of operation have to be discussed with the ministers......"
"Your Majesty, the minister can share your Majesty's worries." Chen Fei suddenly knelt in front of Li Shimin. "Your Majesty, the articles drafted by the students of Guozijian can be published in the "Seven Days of Chang'an" written by the ministers, and they can be circulated all over the world at that time, and the world will know about it!"
"Hahahaha! Chen Fei, Chen Fei! After talking for a long time, you just want to promote your weekly magazine, right? I've seen it, you kid can't afford to be early, and everything is said only when there is a benefit, right? ”
The little tricks were seen through by Li Shimin, Chen Fei blushed, and soon returned to normal. "Your Majesty is wise, your minister... Ashamed. ”
"Okay, when the time comes, it will be published in your weekly magazine, this thing is good, readable, and every time it comes out in the future, I will send a copy to the palace, a lot of your money."
Chen Fei was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. "Minister... Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
Li Shimin got up from his seat, and Wan Fu stepped forward to put on a coat for Li Shimin. When he walked past Chen Fei, Li Shimin looked at the heavy snow outside and sighed.
"Grace is enough, I just ask you not to hold a grudge against me."
Chen Fei's shoulders trembled, and soon, as if he had exhausted all his strength, he fell to the ground without saying a word.
"Get up, it's cold, don't kneel, I, it's time to go back."
Chen Fei didn't get up, still maintaining a kneeling posture. "Your Majesty, really... Is it possible? ”
A headless sentence, but Li Shimin understood. He smiled meaningfully, left a "good for yourself" and walked out.
Li Zhi looked at Li Shimin inexplicably, then at Chen Fei who was kneeling on the ground, and finally stepped forward to help Chen Fei.
"Brother Chen, what did you mean by the conversation you had with your father just now? Why didn't I understand? ”
Chen Fei shook his head and sighed: "Your Highness doesn't have to understand, it's not early, Your Highness should hurry back to the palace." ”
"Oh." Li Zhi nodded, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly felt that his sleeves were pulled, and when he looked up, he was frightened by Chen Fei's eyes that wanted to eat people.
"Chen... Chen..."
"Your Highness, if you have something to worry about, you can discuss it with your ministers, and your ministers... May I share my worries for Your Highness! ”
"Huh? Oh... Oh. After all, Li Zhi was young and didn't understand what Chen Fei meant, so he just nodded, turned around and caught up with Li Shimin, and returned to the palace with him.
After Li Shimin left, Chen Fei smiled stupidly, and then began to calculate the days.
"The twelfth year of Zhenguan will soon be the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, and the twenty-third year of Zhenguan....... Decade? Hehehe! ”
