Chapter 616: Restless Silla

Just when Fan Lihua was garrisoning the Tianshan Mountains, there was a trace of turmoil in Chang'an, and Li Shimin received a report from the Anxi Protectorate that Silla sent troops to exterminate Baekje.

Baekje actually belongs to the branch of the Wa State, because Silla has been enslaved by the Wa State for many years, and the Wa State has invaded the land of Silla, and gradually established the Baekje State, and now the Wa State is tired of civil war, Baekje sent troops to help the Wa State to quell the civil strife, and Goguryeo in the north was also destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, Silla suddenly became active, concentrated the country's troops, and destroyed Baekje at once with lightning speed.

If it was just to conquer Baekje, it would not be a big deal, but Silla was not very stable, and when the army returned home, it went around the north, expelled the 2,000 Tang troops stationed in Pyongyang, and occupied a large area of Goguryeo's territory to the Taedong River (Yalu River). At this time, the king of Silla was King Wulie Jin Chunqiu, and he actually realized the great unification of the entire Liaodong Peninsula, which made Jin very happy, but he was not so happy that he was dizzy, and the established plan still had to be implemented.

The so-called established plan is the original plan, you know, such a big thing, by no means Jin Chunqiu set it on a whim, but the plan he made after consulting with the ministers, Silla is very afraid of the Tang Dynasty, after all, the Tang Dynasty is too powerful, they are in front of the Tang Dynasty, they are tantamount to ants, the whole country is only 50,000 soldiers and horses, if the Tang Dynasty comes to conquer, they will definitely finish the game, in this case, why do they still have the courage to snatch the territory of the Tang Dynasty, because they have been carefully scrutinized.

First of all, a piece of land as big as Goguryeo is very tempting for Silla, and it has surpassed their original land of Silla, which is their motive, and then, it is the attitude of the Tang Dynasty, the loss of territory, the Tang Dynasty must be unhappy, how unhappy is it, the prime minister of Silla, Park Ji-yong, deduced that even if the Tang people are unhappy, they will never be angry, after all, Goguryeo is a bitter cold land for the Tang Dynasty, and the people of the Tang Dynasty are not suitable to live in that land, so that land is chicken ribs for the Tang Dynasty, and it is of little use.

After hearing this, Jin Chunqiu thought it was true, and felt that what Park Zhiyong said was very reasonable, and the next step was to find a way to calm the anger of the Tang Dynasty, so they made a plan, once they recaptured Goguryeo, they immediately sent envoys to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty with the national letter and a large number of gold, silver and jewelry to ask the Tang Emperor for guilt.

In their opinion, Datang is a big country, with a good face and a false name, as long as they are allowed to get by on face, and then give a little economic compensation, Datang should not be held accountable for the loss of such a piece of chicken-like land.

It was because they had planned and prepared in advance that their envoys came quickly, arriving in Chang'an before the Soshu of the Anbuk Metropolitan Protectorate, and this time the Silla envoy was called Park Myeong-soon, who was Park Ji-yong's cousin and was also in a high official position in Silla.

After Park Myung-joon arrived in Chang'an, he disguised himself as a Tang caravan and stayed at an inn, because the Tang language was very popular in Silla, so Park Myung-soon spoke Chinese fluently, so his identity was not revealed.

When they learned that the Anbei Protectorate had arrived in Chang'an, they immediately changed into Silla clothes, lived in the Sifang Pavilion, and handed a letter to Honglu Temple, requesting to meet the Tang Emperor and present a letter of guilt.

Li Shimin was very unhappy about the behavior of the Silla State, and when he received the letter from the Ansei Metropolitan Protectorate yesterday, he had already scolded Jin Chunqiu, and planned to let the Ansei Metropolitan Protectorate directly send troops to recruit Silla.

However, at today's court meeting, the Silla envoy came to ask for guilt, and brought a lot of gold and silver, night pearls and thousand-year-old wild ginseng and other treasures, all the ministers defended Silla in court, saying that Silla has a good attitude of admitting mistakes, and that my Tang should have the wind of a great country, and also said that the land of Goguryeo was originally a bitter cold land, and it is useless for me to come to the Tang Dynasty, so it is better to be a favor to Silla, in short, these ministers behaved very generously, anyway, it was a barren land, and the land was not their home.

Li Shimin still doesn't feel happy, if he was young, he may have the same idea as the Wenchens, but now, he is old and knows that he has little time, he wants to hand over a stable Tang to Li Zhi before he dies, but he can see their restlessness from Silla's behavior, just like Gao Chang and Tuyuhun back then.

After the end of the morning dynasty that day, Li Shimin issued an edict to summon Li Hao to the palace to meet him, Li Hao was still lazy in the villa in Lantian, and immediately came to Chang'an after receiving the summons, and met Li Shimin in the Ganlu Palace.

Now it is the height of spring, when the spring scenery is just right, Li Shimin invited Li Hao to visit the garden, Li Hao readily agreed, the two monarchs and ministers walked in the garden, Xu Lian and the guards followed far behind, not daring to listen to the conversation between the two of them.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, Your Majesty seems to have something on your mind today." Li Hao suddenly said this.

Li Shimin stopped, looked at Li Hao in surprise and asked, "How did you find out?" ”

Li Hao smiled and said: "Your Majesty has always summoned ministers for nothing, and summoning ministers is something important. ”

"You stinky boy's mind ......" As soon as Li Shimin spoke, he suddenly found that Li Hao was no longer a stinky boy, Li Hao was in his thirties, and his hair was almost half white, but his face was still so tender, he looked like he was eighteen years old, no wonder he always couldn't help but call him a stinky boy.

Li Shimin changed his words and said: "Since you are so smart, you might as well guess again, what am I looking for you today?" ”

Li Hao rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "If the minister's guess is correct, His Majesty summoned the minister, it should be for the matter of Silla." ”

"Exactly." Li Shimin sighed and asked, "Poet maniac, what do you think of Silla's actions?" ”

Li Hao said: "Your Majesty, if you are not of my race, their hearts will be different, and Silla will definitely follow in the footsteps of Goguryeo in the end, because they are originally the people of the same race, just like monks and bald people, not much different." ”

"Look at what you bastard said." Li Shimin scolded with a smile, "How can a monk and a bald man be not much different." ”

Li Hao smiled and said, "Your Majesty can understand the minister's meaning, don't care about these details." ”

Li Shimin sighed and said slowly: "Your thoughts are similar to mine, and Silla is unreliable." ”

"That's true." Li Hao said, "Although Silla is subordinate to my Tang Dynasty, but also surrendered to the Wa State, it is simply a three-surname domestic slave, the wall grass is still inferior to it, the current Wa civil strife, Silla will destroy Baekje at the first opportunity, now Silla has unified the Liaodong Peninsula, growing stronger and stronger, less than ten years, will become another Goguryeo, when the time comes, it will become a huge threat to the Tang Dynasty in the northeast, even if it does not threaten the Tang Dynasty, it will make the Tang Dynasty unbearable, Your Majesty needs to make a decision as soon as possible." ”

"Why don't I want to?" Li Shimin sighed louder, and said helplessly, "But although Silla made a mistake this time, their actions were too fast, and before I sent troops, they came to ask for guilt, and the courtesies were thorough, and all the ministers interceded for Silla, so how did I send troops?" ”

Li Hao rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is better to leave this matter to the ministers, the ministers can make the ministers hate Silla extremely much in a year or two, and they can't wait to punish them quickly." ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin looked at Li Hao with surprise on his face when he heard this, and asked, "What are your plans?" ”

Li Hao smiled and said, "Your Majesty forgives your sins, this plan can't be said, and it won't work if you say it." ”

"You just sell it." Li Shimin laughed and said, "Okay, you let it go, Silla is still weak and unsuccessful, so it is just right to destroy them as soon as possible." ”

Li Hao stretched his body: "The minister must live up to his mission." ”

When Li Hao returned to Lantian Villa, it was already evening, Li Hao went directly to the south side of the villa, there were two people living in this courtyard, Pei Miao and Liu Xuanji, who is Liu Xuanji, it is the god stick Liu, after the god stick Liu came back from the Japanese country, he changed his name, called Liu Xuanji, from then on, the god stick Liu who was abducted and deceived was like dead, and the living one was Liu Xuanji who contributed to the nation.

After Liu Xuanji experienced a major event, his mentality also changed, and his three views became extremely upright, changing his past bad habits, worshipping Pei Miao as a teacher, and learning Qimen Dunjia with Pei Miao every day, easy to manage feng shui, and being an outsider, he may indeed have talent in this area, although it is only a few years, but it has made a lot of progress.

Liu Xuanji and Pei Miao had just had dinner, Liu Xuanji was playing with the little monkey in the courtyard, the little monkey suddenly screamed and rushed to the courtyard gate, and then saw Li Hao striding in, and the little monkey wanted to run to Li Hao and squat on Li Hao's shoulder.

Li Hao hugged him and said with a smile: "Wukong, you have grown up now, you can't stand on my shoulders." ”

Wukong bared his teeth and said he didn't agree, Li Hao was helpless, he picked him up and put it on his shoulder, Wukong stepped on Li Hao's shoulder with two feet, and he was still bouncing on it, so happy, Li Hao could only smack his lips helplessly, this guy is making a fuss, let it go.

Liu Xuanji stepped forward to salute Li Hao, Pei Miao also walked out of the house when he heard the voice, and asked with a smile: "Senior brother, why do you have time to come to me?" ”

Li Hao said: "I have something to find Liu Xuanji this time." ”

Liu Xuanji was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi has any orders to say directly, Xuanji will never refuse." ”

"Come, sit down first." Li Hao patted Goku's foot, and Goku immediately jumped off.

Then the three of them sat down around the stone table, and Wukong very obediently carried a teapot to pour tea for them, which was very spiritual, that is, when it poured tea, it liked to grin at people, and its own people knew that it was to persuade tea, if it was someone else, I was afraid that I would be scared.

"Wukong is really getting more and more spiritual." Li Hao picked up the teacup and sighed.

Pei Miao took a sip of the teacup and said, "Presumably, as you said, how to say it, oh, mutation, you become strong, it becomes smart and spiritual." ”

Li Hao nodded in agreement, after all, he even had a better memory when he crossed over, and it was normal for monkeys to become spiritual.

Liu Xuanji said at this time: "Uncle Shi, say it, there is something to tell me." ”

Li Hao smiled and said, "Like the last mission, you need to go to a different country, but this time it is not to go to the Wa country." ”

"Oh?" Liu Xuanji asked, "Where are you going this time?" ”

Li Hao smiled slightly: "Silla." ”

Liu Xuanji muttered: "Silla, this is not a stranger, I don't know what the mission is to Silla this time?" ”

Li Hao said: "Jin Chunqiu, the lord of Silla, was bold and reckless, and actually took away the territory of Goguryeo that my Tang Dynasty had just defeated, and the emperor wanted to send troops to destroy them, but Jin Chunqiu was very cunning, and immediately sent envoys to ask for guilt, and all the ministers in the court and the central government exonerated Silla, which made His Majesty very embarrassed." ”

Liu Xuanji thought about it when he heard this, frowned and asked, "What does Uncle Shi want me to do?" ”

Li Hao beckoned to him: "You come here with your ears." ”

Pei Miao was suddenly unhappy, and said angrily: "Why, what plan can't I listen to?" ”

Li Hao said with a hippie smile: "Senior brother, you don't understand this, it's not that you won't listen to it, it's because of the conspiracy and trickery that you have to say it like this to feel and be energetic!" ”

Pei Miao's expression instantly became very exciting, although he was already very familiar with the funny character of his junior brother, but sometimes Li Hao's funny comparison really made him a little difficult to resist.
