Li Zhi used a lot of force in anger and directly threw Song Shu far away, which happened to hit the body of the Silla envoy Kim Jong-won, Kim Jong-won was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground again, kowtowing again and again and begging for mercy: "The Tang Emperor forgives the sins, the Tang Emperor forgives the sins......

Li Zhi angrily pointed at Kim Jong-won and shouted: "How can you ask me to forgive you!" Someone comes, pull the Silla envoy down, put him in the prison, and ask for beheading on a certain day! ”

Immediately outside the hall, two Jin Wuwei rushed in, ready to pull Jin Zhengyuan down, Jin Zhengyuan was so frightened that he shouted in a trembling voice: "Emperor Tang spares his life, Emperor Tang spares his life, please listen to the words of his subordinates!" ”

Seeing that Jin Wuwei was about to take someone, Xu Liangdong, the priest of the country, suddenly came out and said loudly: "The emperor is slow!" ”

Jin Wuwei saw that someone was asking for mercy, so he stopped his hand and looked at Li Zhi, Li Zhi raised his hand to stop the two Jin Wuwei, then looked at Xu Liangdong and asked, "Xu Xijiu has something to say?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Liangdong arched his hand and said, "The two countries are at war, and if you don't kill the envoys, although the ministers don't know what Silla has done to my Tang Dynasty, the emperor can't kill the Silla envoys." ”

The other ministers nodded when they heard this, in the era of the Warring States period, when the two countries were at war and did not kill the envoys, how could they kill the Silla envoys.

Chu Suiliang asked at this time: "Your Majesty, what happened, why is the Emperor so angry?" ”

Only then did Li Zhi remember that he was so angry for a while that he forgot to report to Zhuqing in the military newspaper, so he said: "Song Shu is on the ground, you pick it up and read it to Zhuqing!" ”

Chu Suiliang stepped forward to pick up the war report, and when he looked at the cover, it was a war report sent by Chongzhou, and the war report said that Silla suddenly sent 50,000 troops, entered the Tang Dynasty, and invaded the territory of Chongzhou, Chongzhou Assassin Shi Lu Jian sent people to warn them several times, so that they could withdraw from the Tang Dynasty, but the leading generals of Silla did not listen at all, and actually garrisoned on a mountain 100 miles northeast of Chongzhou, and Chongzhou Assassin Shi gathered 5,000 men and horses to drive them, and wanted to scare them out of the Tang Dynasty with the might of the Tang Dynasty, but I didn't expect these Silla troops not only to not leave, also said that it was originally their Silla territory, and the two sides clashed, and the Tang side lost nearly a thousand people.

Silla was originally just a small country, enslaved by Baekje for many years, and its national strength was simply one heaven and one underground compared to the Tang Dynasty, but it was no wonder that Li Zhi was so angry when he repeatedly snatched the territory of the Tang Dynasty and offended the power of the Tang Dynasty.

After Chu Suiliang finished reciting, he looked at Kim Jong-won with a complicated expression, and sneered: "Jin envoy, are you Silla people so shameless, running to the territory of our Datang and saying that it is your Silla territory?" ”

Kim Jong-won said solemnly: "Back to this lord, a thousand years ago, the territory of our Silla was very extensive, and it was indeed the land of my Silla at that time. ”

"That's nonsense!" Li Zhi stretched out his hand and pointed at him, glaring at him, "If you talk nonsense again, I really won't spare you!" ”

Kim Jong Won had no intention of keeping his mouth shut at all, and continued: "Your Majesty the Tang Emperor, my King of Silla has the intention to recover the land that once he was and complete the grand wish of unifying Silla, and my King also knows that this is a great disrespect to the Tang Dynasty, so he sent his subordinates to ask His Majesty the Tang Emperor for guilt, in order to express his sincerity, my king sent his subordinates to bring 30,000 taels of gold, 3,000 jewels, 3,000 Korean ginseng mink skins, and 3,000 other medicinal materials, with a total contract of 70,000 taels of gold!" ”

Hearing this amount, the ministers were all shocked, although the Tang Dynasty is very rich now, but when they heard 70,000 taels of gold, the ministers still exclaimed, this is a lot of wealth.

Even Li Zhi was shocked when he heard it, and then frowned and said coldly: "What about the national book?" ”

Jin Zhengyuan took out the national letter from a brocade box and said: "The national letter is here, and the ministers will read it to His Majesty the Tang Emperor." ”

The writing of the Tang Dynasty has now spread to the surrounding countries, and people in almost every country can speak and write the Tang language, and the national book of Silla is also written in the Tang language.

Kim Zhengyuan began to read the national book, and sure enough, he wrote earnestly, his posture was very low, and all kinds of sycophants of the Tang Dynasty were patted on the back, and the ministers all nodded when they heard it, a little fluttering.

Only Li Hao listened there with a sneer, only he knew why Silla suddenly wanted to snatch the land near Chongzhou, because this was planned by him, he sent Liu Xuanji to bewitch Park Jiyong, the prime minister of Silla, saying that the dragon vein was in the mountains northeast of Chongju, so Park Jiyong tried every means to persuade the king of Silla to take that land, which for the king of Silla, expanded the territory of the country, and for Park Jiyong, he could take the opportunity to bury his father in the dragon vein, thus changing his luck.

After Kim Jung-won finished reading the national letter, Xu Liangdong, the priest of the country, said: "Your Majesty, the letter of the king of Silla is sincere, but he knows his fault, and he also gave such a generous gift, 700,000 yuan, which is worthy of that cold land." ”

His meaning is very clear, that is, to let Silla go, accept their apologies, and sell the land to them, anyway, their territory of the Tang Dynasty is so wide, and the area from Chongzhou to the east and north, although it is not a bitter cold land, it is also very barren, and 700,000 guan can be sold.

Li Zhi frowned when he heard this, he didn't think so, he had only taken over the throne from his father for half a year, and his father had worked hard all his life to lay down the huge territory of the Tang Dynasty, and he was never allowed to exchange it for money.

The last time Silla snatched the territory of the Tang Dynasty, they had already spared it once, mainly because that territory had just been conquered, had not yet been built, had not invested manpower and material resources in it, and had not yet been inhabited by the people of the Tang Dynasty.

However, this time is different, there are thousands of Tang people living near Chongzhou, who have invested manpower and material resources in it, and have been building for many years, and now if it is robbed by Silla, then the people on that land will also flow into Silla, Li Zhi is the same as Li Shimin, he is also an emperor who loves the people like a son, how can he watch the people of his country being robbed by other countries, so he does not agree with giving that land to Silla, and Li Zhi is very dissatisfied with Xu Liangdong's words.

Although he was dissatisfied, Li Zhi didn't show it, but just asked indifferently: "What about the other secretaries, what do you think of this matter?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly arched his hand at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the military affairs are a major matter of the country, and you must not move it easily, otherwise you will lose your lives, but I am in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the barbarian state cannot be easily moved, the emperor should send a letter of reprimand to the king of Silla, and order him to withdraw from Chongzhou within three months, otherwise it will ......"

When he said this, he suddenly froze, otherwise what are you doing, otherwise you will definitely send troops to level Silla, but now the eldest grandson has a headache when he mentions the war, because Li Hao is now the general of Tiance Mansion, and all the decisions about sending troops are in the hands of Li Hao......

In order to resolve the embarrassment, the eldest grandson Wuji could only change his words and said: "With my Tang Tianwei, I believe that the king of Silla will not dare to disobey!" ”

Li Hao suddenly laughed when he heard this, Jin Zhengyuan was surprised when he heard this, turned his head to look at Li Hao, and was secretly surprised: "Who is this person?" It is really arrogant to dare to laugh so unscrupulously above the court hall of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Zhi looked at Li Hao in surprise when he heard this, and asked, "Why did the poet suddenly laugh?" ”

Li Hao came out of the column and saluted Li Zhi and said, "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that the words of the eldest grandson are a little funny. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned and glared at Li Hao, and asked, "How funny is the old man's words?" ”

"Isn't it funny?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "What if the king of Silla just refuses to return that land?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a gloomy face: "If this is the case, then we can only meet each other in arms!" ”

Finally forcing the eldest Sun Wuji to say this, Li Hao nodded with satisfaction, looked at Jin Zhengyuan, and said slowly: "Jin envoy, this king has a few words to ask you." ”

Now Jin Zhengyuan already knows who this person is in front of him, looking at his age, and the emperor called him a poet maniac just now, he already knows that this is the very famous King Qiongnan of the Tang Dynasty, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "King Qiongnan, excuse me." ”

Li Hao asked with a smile: "This king is puzzled in his heart, my Tang military report has always been extremely fast, from Chongzhou to Chang'an, never more than twenty days, and you actually arrived in Chang'an before the military report, how did you do it?" ”

Kim Jong-won was stunned when he heard this, and he was speechless for a while, and the ministers suddenly suddenly became surprised, yes, this Silla is too strange, every time the messenger who comes to ask for sin, it comes very quickly, and this time the messenger actually arrived before the military report, which is incredible.

Jin Zhengyuan snorted for a while, and could only explain far-fetchedly: "As soon as my king occupied the territory of the Tang Dynasty, he immediately sent his subordinates to ask for guilt. ”

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and asked, "How long does it take you to get from Silla to Chang'an?" ”

"This ......," Kim Jong-won didn't know how to answer.

Li Hao said with a smile: "If this king is not mistaken, you have already premeditated, before the war started, you have already set off in advance, in order to take my Datang territory as soon as possible, to show your so-called sincerity, want to resolve the anger of Datang, right." ”

Kim Jong-won had nothing to say, so he could only say embarrassedly: "My king is really sincere in pleading guilty." ”

"Sincerity, hehe." Li Hao sneered, "Don't you think it's ridiculous to say this from your mouth?" ”

"King Qiongnan, you ......" Kim Jong-won glared at Li Hao angrily when he heard this.

Li Hao suddenly faced Li Zhi, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Silla has repeatedly violated my Tang Tianwei and is capricious, and the ministers ask Your Majesty to immediately send troops to attack Silla, set foot in this country of projectiles, and raise the prestige of my Tang Dynasty!" Otherwise, in the future, what will my Datang face as the sect master of the world, and how will I command all nations! ”

Hearing this, Jin Zhengyuan looked at Li Hao in horror and said in a trembling voice: "King Qiongnan...... You...... How can you be so unreasonable! ”

"It's you Silla who are unreasonable!" Li Hao turned his head coldly and glared at him, and said coldly, "My Datang land, even if it is idle there, it is not your turn to trample on it wantonly, do you really think that it is enough to send some money and accompany a crime?" Hehe, you are too naïve, what is 700,000 guan, is my Datang's national prestige only worth 700,000? ”

"You...... You ......" Kim Jong-won was so anxious that he was about to cry when he heard this, but he couldn't find any words to scold Li Hao.

At this time, Chu Suiliang suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not agree with King Qiongnan's approach, my Tang Dynasty is a country of benevolence and righteousness, a country of etiquette, Silla has already apologized and sent generous gifts, how can we be unforgiving, this is a loss of great country demeanor!" Besides, soldiers, the country's major affairs, how can it be lightly started, the old minister thinks, should give Silla a chance, let them withdraw their troops on their own. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

……

When the ministers heard this, they all seconded the proposal, and they all thought that Silla should be given a chance, and they should not be ignored.

Li Hao secretly sneered when he heard this, suddenly turned his head to look at Kim Jong-won, and said, "Kim Jong-won, this king heard that you Silla has a festival called ...... What's the end? ”
