"What! This king is willful? This king doesn't take state affairs seriously? As soon as Nuo Haobo heard this, his stomach was full of fire, and he glared and shouted resentfully, "You have been in charge of the government all these years, no matter what, even if this king is decided, as long as you shake your head, then you can't do it, six years ago, this king was really young, and all listened to you, and now this king is so old, and he still has to listen to you, you tell this king, is this king still the king of Tuguhun!" ”

King Xuan was stunned when he heard this, his eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, he didn't expect Nuo Haobo to be so ignorant, and he tried his best to work for the country, but he was considered a dictatorship to seize power, and it broke out on such an important day today, fortunately, it was him, if he was replaced by any ambitious person, it is estimated that Nuo Haobo, the king, would also have done it.

Nuo Haobo's depression for many years burst out together, and he continued to shout: "You said, although the etiquette to welcome the princess this time was proposed by this king, was it with your permission, but now you have come to tell this king that you have changed your mind and want this king to go out of the city to greet you in person, why!" ”

King Xuan slowly closed his eyes, and kept convincing himself in his heart to be calm, to be calm, don't argue with him, if the monarch and ministers have disputes, the country will be in turmoil. King Xuan is actually very angry and disappointed, he has worked hard all these years to save the originally dilapidated Tuyuhun from the brink of death, and educate this ignorant child how to be a good king, but judging from Nuo Haobo's current performance, he doesn't seem to understand his hard work, and he also treats him as a traitor to the dictatorship of power, how sad.

After being silent for a long time, King Xuan decided to take a step back for the time being, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the matter of welcoming the princess is the minister's dereliction of duty, this time, please ask Your Majesty to make a decision in person, and the minister will do it according to Your Majesty's wishes." ”

"Good! That's what you said! But don't go back. Hearing this, Nuo Haobo's eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "You go and tell the Tang people's marriage envoy that this king will never go out of the city to meet the Tang princess, and in the future, I Tuyuhun will no longer pay tribute to the Tang Emperor, and Tuyuhun is no longer a subject of the Tang Kingdom!" ”

"Your Majesty! Think again! King Xuan trembled when he heard this, and screamed in pain.

"What!" Nuo Haobo glared and asked angrily, "You just finished speaking, do you want to regret it now!" ”

"Minister...... Don't dare to ......" King Xuan shed tears of regret, sad for Tuyuhun to have such a king, at this moment, he really wanted to go up and kick the Nuo Hao bowl off the throne, but this thought only flashed from his mind, he thought he was a loyal minister, not a thief.

Nuo Haobo said in a loud voice: "In that case! Why don't you hurry up and reply to the marriage envoy of the Tang Kingdom, do you have to wait until it gets dark? ”

King Xuan didn't want to be attacked by his words anymore, so he said "The minister retires" and exits the hall.

King Xuan was full of thoughts all the way, thinking about how to deal with the marriage envoy of the Tang people, not only conveying the words of the Nuo Hao bowl to Li Hao, but also not provoking Li Hao's anger.

When he arrived outside the city, King Xuan met Li Hao again, and Li Hao asked lightly: "Prime Minister, when will your lord come out to greet my Tang princess?" ”

King Xuan made a bitter face, saluted and said apologetically: "Lord Angel, I'm really sorry, my Tuyuhun Lord is in poor health, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to go out of the city to welcome the princess in person, so I can only ask the old minister to do it for me. ”

"Oh? Can you do it for you? Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Then do you want to do it for you?" ”

King Xuan's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he fell to his knees with a thud, prostrate and shouted: "Angel is angry!" ”

The prime minister all knelt down, and the rest of the Tuyuhun officials who were in a daze also knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Angel is angry—"

King Xuan knelt on the ground and defended repeatedly: "Angel, please calm your anger, my Tuyuhun lord is really unwell, and I can't welcome the princess in person, so please ask the angel to take the princess into the city, so as not to miss the good time to get married." ”

"Huh, good hour?" Li Hao smiled coldly and asked, "Since your lords are sick, how can you get married, and when he is sick, then when will he go out of the city to welcome the princess into the city to get married." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and left, shouting as he walked: "Pass my military order, and the army will camp in place!" ”

As soon as these words came out, King Xuan was confused, and the ministers were confused, Li Hao was determined to ask Nuo Haobo to go out of the city to greet the princess in person, how is this good.

After Li Hao left, all the ministers stepped forward to surround King Xuan, and asked him why the king didn't come out to greet the princess, King Xuan had a hard time, so he could only shake his head and sigh vaguely: "Your Majesty refuses to go out of the city to greet him, what can I do." ”

Everyone didn't believe it, because they all knew that King Xuan had been in charge of the government for many years, although Nuo Haobo was named as the king, but it was just an empty shelf, everything was decided by King Xuan, if King Xuan forcibly asked him to go out of the city to meet the princess, presumably Nuo Haobo would not dare to disobey, and now Nuo Haobo actually refused to go out of the city to welcome the princess, and King Xuan actually allowed it, things are a little strange.

In the face of everyone's questioning, King Xuan naturally couldn't tell the contradiction between himself and Nuo Haobo, and hurried back to the city after a few prevarications, he wanted to tell Nuo Haobo about Li Hao's reaction, so that this ignorant young man knew the tough attitude of the Tang Dynasty's marriage envoy.

In the main hall of the palace, when King Xuan told Nuo Haobo of Li Hao's reaction, Nuo Haobo was furious, glared and shouted: "What, the Tang envoy actually camped outside the city and refused to enter the city!" Outrageous! Then let him stay out of the city! ”

King Xuan frowned, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, the matter is serious, don't make any more trouble." ”

"How can this king mess around!" Nuo Haobo snorted angrily, "This king has refused to be a vassal to the Tang Kingdom, and now this king is no longer the king of the Tang Dynasty, and he dares to let this king go out of the city to greet him!" ”

King Xuan really wanted to rush up and give him a few big-eared scrapers, and told him while fanning: "Lao Tzu hasn't told Tang Envoy about this yet, if he does, God knows how the other party will react; Who do you think you are, if you don't pay tribute to Datang, Datang will marry the princess to you? You haven't woken up yet, do you want to go to Chang'an to spend a vacation with your grandfather......"

King Xuan naturally didn't dare to do this, he had to explain the stakes to Nuo Haobo in a good voice, but Nuo Haobo dragged it, he didn't listen, he hated King Xuan, he had already marked King Xuan, thinking that King Xuan was a traitor who bullied the king and seized power, and everything was wrong, King Xuan felt that he was about to go crazy, and the urge to kick him off the throne arose again in his heart.

The result of the conversation between the monarch and the minister was unsatisfactory, and he did not get the answer he wanted, so King Xuan could only go back to the house alone, gather a group of henchmen, and find a way to solve it by himself.

King Xuan has been in charge of the government for many years, naturally there are many political enemies, if you want to deal with these political enemies, his strength alone is obviously not enough, there must be henchmen, and there are many henchmen, but there are only five of them in important positions, these five people are either in charge of military power, or in power, they are all important ministers in the court, and these five people sincerely support him, and have proposed to him to seize the throne more than once, but he refused, or that sentence, he thinks that he is a loyal minister, not a chaotic minister and a thief.

When King Xuan told his gang of henchmen about the dispute between himself and Nuo Haobo, the mighty general He Shi immediately took the case and said angrily: "Huangkou Xiaoer dares to be so ignorant, Prime Minister, you are so nonsense with him?" ”

King Xuan waved his hand and sighed: "He Shi is cautious, don't say such a rebellious remark again, alas, Your Majesty has grown up, his wings are stiff, and he won't listen to my advice." ”

"Prime Minister." Liu Tong, the secretary of the ministry, frowned and said, "The prime minister knows, this Tang Dynasty marriage makes Li Hao not easy to mess with, don't look at him a few years older than His Majesty, but his ability is extraordinary, when the Tang Dynasty attacked me Tuguhun, this son was only sixteen years old, and he personally captured the first king Fuyun." ”

"How could I not know about this." King Xuan sighed loudly, "This Li Hao is indeed a brilliant person, when he captured Fuyun Khan, he was just a small soldier, and now he is a general, three years ago, Gaochang invaded Tang Tingzhou, 70,000 troops besieged the city, he took 4,000 soldiers to defend it, and it was hard for several months, and when he arrived at the Tang Dynasty reinforcements, he finally held Tingzhou City. ”

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people were awe-inspiring, four thousand against seventy thousand, what kind of concept, in their impression, four thousand against seven thousand is impossible, and they feel that this Li Hao is simply a god.

King Xuan continued: "Later, Li Hao asked the Tang Emperor to lead his troops to conquer Gaochang, and it only took more than a month to destroy Gaochang, and from then on, ...... There is no more Gaochang in the world. ”

Everyone was silent for a while when they heard this, the meaning of King Xuan's words was very simple, if Li Hao led troops to attack, would they be the next Gaochang.

Speaking of which, King Xuan suddenly felt so sad, he was also a young man, Li Hao captured Tuyuhun's Fuyun Khan when he was sixteen years old, and their king, at the age of seventeen, still didn't understand anything, and he was blind when he heard today's government affairs, Li Hao was "someone else's child" in the eyes of King Xuan.

"Okay, don't raise the morale of others." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little depressed, Ji Tongguang suddenly said loudly, "We are here this time to discuss countermeasures, not to praise this Li Hao, no matter how powerful Li Hao is, he is not our Xianbei people." ”

"Not bad." Imperial Doctor Lou Zhengnan said, "Let's jointly write a letter tomorrow and let His Majesty go out of the city to greet the Tang Princess in person, since he wants to be in charge, do you dare to ignore the advice of the ministers?" ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, but King Xuan frowned and said, "In fact, let Your Majesty go out of the city, and the ministers can admonish him, and he will not dare to offend the anger of the people." ”

Ji Tongguang saw his sad face, and couldn't help asking, "Is there something else?" ”

King Xuan was silent for a moment, and sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty has asked me to tell the marriage envoy of the Tang Dynasty that from now on, I will no longer pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and Tuyuhun will no longer be a subject country of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"What!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"How can he be so willful!" He Shi had the most violent temper and slapped the table again and shouted.

"Your Majesty's move...... It's really wrong. Liu Tong frowned and shook his head again and again.

King Xuan frowned, and said slowly: "I haven't dared to tell Li Hao about this yet, but as soon as Li Hao enters the city, he will definitely meet His Majesty to present his credentials, and the time will ...... But how is it good. ”

Look at me, and I look at you, and they are speechless.

There was silence in the hall for a long time, He Shi suddenly gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Just kill Li Hao." ”

The rest of the people trembled when they heard this, and looked at him with neurotic eyes, killing Tang Envoy? Are you kidding!

He Shi also knew that they didn't dare, so he said: "I don't need to say, you also know that if you really refuse to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will definitely raise troops to attack, and at that time...... It's all late, the Tang people have a saying, called the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, although Li Hao is very good at fighting, but without soldiers and horses, he is nothing, he can't enter the city with soldiers and horses, as long as he enters the city, it is not that we have the final say, we will send someone to assassinate him! ”
