Chapter 276: Danger lurks
King Xuan is the prime minister of a country, and after being shocked for a moment, he immediately regained his composure, frowned and thought about it, and said: "According to what you say, it is indeed not difficult to kill this Li Hao, but the difficulty is how to deal with the aftermath." ”
"It's not hard to deal with the aftermath." He Shi said confidently, "As long as we cause trouble and blame Tubo for this matter, Datang will not blame us." ”
"That's not right." Ji Tongguang suddenly shook his head and said, "Why do we want to kill Li Hao?" In order not to let him know that we are going to refuse to pay tribute? This matter can't be hidden anyway, as long as we don't pay tribute next year, the Tang Emperor will naturally know. ”
King Xuan suddenly said: "You don't understand this, if we just stop paying tribute, the Tang Emperor will not investigate deeply, but if His Majesty tells Li Hao in person, refusing to call the Tang Dynasty, Li Hao will be furious, after going back, he will encourage the Tang Emperor to raise troops to attack, I heard that Li Hao is extremely trusted by the Tang Emperor, and he has been made a marquis at the age of twenty, if he fanned the flames, the Tang Emperor will not give up." ”
"Exactly." He Shi nodded and said, "This Li Hao is definitely not good at his generation, if His Majesty provokes him, our Tuguhun will be in danger, it is best to get rid of him." ”
King Xuan said thoughtfully: "The Tang Emperor values Li Hao so much, if Li Hao is eliminated, the Tang Emperor will be furious, is the method you said to blame Tubo feasible?" ”
"Naturally." He Shi suddenly said proudly, "It just so happens that I spent a lot of money some time ago to invite a Tubo master, called Songa Mima, who is very good at martial arts, one person can fight the three masters of my original house, we just need to send them to assassinate Li Hao, and leave some evidence to prove that it was the Tubo people who killed Li Hao, then that's fine, after all, Li Hao sabotaged the Tubo major events twice, presumably the Tubo hated him very much." ”
King Xuan thought for a long time when he heard this, and asked slowly: "If Songamma is captured by mistake, will he confess you?" ”
He Shi said: "Don't worry, his family is already under my control, even if he misses and is captured, he won't dare to talk nonsense." ”
"That's good." King Xuan nodded and said, "When leaving evidence, remember not to leave it too deliberately, otherwise it will only be self-defeating." ”
He Shi asked: "What kind of evidence does the prime minister think should be left behind?" ”
King Xuan said: "The blade used to kill people can use the scimitar that the Tubo people are best at, after killing Li Hao, you can stuff a piece of Tubo ornament into Li Hao's hand, so that it looks like Li Hao was quietly dragged away from the killer before he died, so that he can completely blame Tubo." ”
Lou Zhengnan, who had been silent, frowned and said, "Prime Minister, you don't really plan to do this, this method is too risky." ”
King Xuan suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said with a bright eye: "Actually, I have just discovered that there is another wonderful thing about this method. ”
When the others heard this, they were puzzled and asked, "Oh? What's so wonderful? ”
King Xuan said with a high spirit: "Our Tuyuhun national strength is weak, and it is sandwiched between the two great powers of Tubo and Datang, one is struggling to breathe, if Datang and Tubo can go to war and fight each other, they will have no time to take care of us anymore, just give us Tuyuhun a chance to breathe, the more fierce they fight, the more serious the national power consumption, the better it will be for me Tuyuhun." ”
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and Ji Tongguang said excitedly: "The prime minister is really the pillar of the country, after you say this, it turns out that this is a clever plan to kill three birds with one stone!" ”
King Xuan laughed and said happily: "This clever plan was still thought up by General He, and General He is rare to be wise." ”
He Shi smiled proudly when he heard this: "In this case, let's go our separate ways, you quickly contact the other ministers, and agree to advise Your Majesty to go out of the city to meet the princess tomorrow, and I will start to arrange for Songamima to prepare to assassinate Li Hao." ”
"Yes, without further ado." King Xuan was also a little excited, and said, "Everyone is doing their duty, this time, we will definitely make Tubo and Datang mess up!" ”
Early the next morning, Tuyuhun and his ministers wrote to Nuo Haobo, asking Nuo Haobo to go out of the city to greet the Tang princess in person, and this time, King Xuan's political enemies also agreed with him for the first time, and together persuaded Nuo Haobo to greet the princess in person.
Nuo Haobo was angry, and he was furious above the main hall, saying that he wanted to refuse to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, of course, he also refused to go out of the city to meet the princess, and the ministers attacked him, all kinds of foam froth, and they were about to drown Nuo Haobo, Nuo Haobo had no choice but to compromise in the end, and went out of the city to meet the princess, but he refused to be a minister, there was no turnaround, Nuo Haobo gritted his teeth, this is a matter of principle for him, he wants to be a king, not a county king.
The ministers are also very helpless, although the matter of the ministers is a political matter, but this matter mainly depends on the wishes of the lord of the country, as long as the Nuo Hao bowl does not agree, the ministers can only be in a hurry, King Xuan has long expected that this will be the case, so he did not continue to persuade him, even if he arranged to go out of the city to meet the Tang princess.
In order to prevent Li Hao and Nuo Haobo from talking too much, King Xuan followed Nuo Haobo and reminded Nuo Haobo in a low voice: "Your Majesty, refuse to be called a minister, the minister has not yet told the Tang envoy, such an important event, the minister thinks that it is better to stay in the palace to exchange credentials, and it is more appropriate for His Majesty to tell the Tang envoy in person." ”
Nuo Haobo was overjoyed when he heard this, and rarely showed a satisfied smile: "Okay, the prime minister is thoughtful, so let's do it." ”
In his opinion, being able to personally say to the Tang envoy that he refused to be a minister was the first big step in dealing with the government by himself, and he would definitely be able to make his king's prestige reach its peak, and maybe he could take back the power of the court because of this.
The Nuo Hao Bowl stopped driving far outside the city, and King Xuan acted as the spokesperson of the Nuo Hao Bowl, shouting loudly: "King Tuyuhun welcomes the Tang Princess Luan, please enter the city!" ”
Li Hao originally wanted to go up and meet with Nuo Haobo, but who knew that Nuo Haobo only appeared for a while, and immediately went back to the city, after all, Nuo Haobo felt that it was a shame to go out of the city to greet the princess, and it just so happened that King Xuan was not very willing to have too much contact with Li Hao.
Li Hao was not very satisfied with Nuo Haobo's perfunctory attitude, but the other party had already gone out of the city to greet him according to his own requirements, and he didn't want to say anything more.
When entering the city, He Shi carefully observed the people Li Hao brought into the city, there were only more than 120 people, and when Li Hao went to the post station to stay, he left 100 people to guard the princess, and he only brought more than 20 people with him, and these more than 20 people were Li Hao's blade special combat team.
That night, King Xuan met with his henchmen again, secretly discussed the assassination of Li Hao, and began to make detailed arrangements, when they learned that Li Hao only brought more than 20 guards with him, they were very happy, which was undoubtedly a sheep into the tiger's mouth for them.
Just when King Xuan secretly discussed the assassination of Li Hao, a group of suspicious people also mixed into the city, this team of people a total of 12 people, they came from far away from Tibet, they are the 12 dead soldiers carefully selected by the Tibetan minister Ge Dong Zan, the leader is named Dawa Dunzhu, is one of the three disciples of the first master of Tubo Tubo National Teacher, they came here for the same purpose as King Xuan, assassinate Li Hao, the assassination operation, proposed by Ge Dong Zan, approved by Songtsen Gampo.
Li Hao's existence has made Tubo suffer two super losses, not only that, Ge Erdongzan can see that Li Hao is a military wizard, and it is not a good thing for Datang to produce this young hero, as wise as Ge Dongzan, Li Hao must not be allowed to grow up, and he must be strangled in the cradle, so he plans to take advantage of Li Hao to send someone to Tuyuhun to send him to do it quietly, and the most important thing is that as long as Li Hao dies in Tuyuhun, he can destroy the marriage between Tuyuhun and Datang, If the Datang family team takes the princess back to China at this time, they can also carry out another plan to rob the family, without Li Hao, what are they afraid of.
