The words that came out of Xia Hongsheng's mouth made Ashina Mujin stunned, stared at Xia Hongsheng for a long time, and saw Xia Hongsheng's complacent expression, so he asked again: "What does Xiahou mean ......?"

"Ah, Ben Hou didn't mean anything, he just said that since the Turks also want to buy weapons, they can go and ask His Majesty to try it. Maybe it can be done? Xia Hongsheng smiled and took a sip of tea, and said: "Success or failure, there is still half a chance, if you don't try it, won't there be no half chance?" ”

Ashina Mujin's brows furrowed, and there was a feeling in his heart as if he had been tricked, and he immediately felt a little angry in his heart, and then looked at Xia Hongsheng, but he was calm and relaxed, and immediately took a deep breath and calmed down.

"I heard that Xue Yantuo can get permission to buy weapons from Datang, and it all depends on Xiahou to maneuver in the middle?" Ashina Mujin put a smile on his face again, and asked again.

Xia Hongsheng hurriedly waved his hand again and again: "Lord Envoy, this meal can be eaten indiscriminately, but words cannot be spoken indiscriminately." Xue Yantuo made a request to His Majesty, and after His Majesty's discussion with the ministers of the three provinces, Xue Yantuo's request was finally agreed. How can this be pushed onto Ben Hou? If Ben Hou had such ability, then he would not have to be impeached and sent to Xiazhou, nor would he have lost the Turkic envoy, nor would he have been removed from office, nor would he have been ridiculed, nor would he have been pretended to be a grandson with his tail between his legs all day long......"

Xia Hongsheng's mouth kept chattering, Ashina Mujin looked at Xia Hongsheng in surprise, turned his head to look at several other Turkic envoys beside him, and then looked over and asked tentatively, "Xiahou?" Xiahou, isn't this drunk? ”

"Huh?" Hearing someone ask himself, Xia Hongsheng suddenly raised his head, but then shook his head: "Drunk? Ben Hou is not drunk? Haven't you heard of the name of Ben Hou Qianbei who is not drunk? Come on, come on, you and I will fight another 300 rounds! ”

Ashina Mujin looked at Xia Hongsheng's misty eyes. He shook his head helplessly, and asked again: "I really want to ask Xiahou for advice, how can I get Your Majesty to allow people to sell the weapons of the Tang Dynasty to the Turks, instead of being monopolized by Xue Yantuo?" ”

"Who?" Xia Hongsheng Kuang poured another cup: "No one dares to sell Datang's weapons to anyone in any country." Only the imperial court can, only the Ministry of Industry can! Xue Yantuo was a member of the Tang Dynasty and contributed so many things. As soon as His Majesty was pleased, he agreed! If you are Ben Hou is Jieli, you are not worried at all. Although Datang's weapons are good, it is precisely because of this that the cost is also very high. It takes time, materials and manpower to produce. The wool is out of the sheep, and these costs have to be added to the Xue Yantuo people in the end, so the weapons will be sold very expensive, so expensive that His Majesty and the ministers are red-eyed, happy to see the weapons sold and then exchanged for a lot of cattle, sheep, copper, iron, gold and silver treasures. So the Turks don't need to worry at all. I guess Your Majesty may not be uneasy and kind, and he will use the method of buying weapons to drag Xue Yantuo down! You Turks are really confused, what are you doing here? Silly! Foolish! Hahaha, come, Ben Hou actually knew how to be a villain, and he was sent to Xiazhou, he was also stupid, we are all stupid. Can't miss out on a drink! ”

Is Xia Hongsheng drunk? Certainly not drunk! It's been so long since I've been in Datang, and I have followed the group of gentlemen who drink wine as water, not to mention practicing into a wine jug. After all, the amount of alcohol is still slightly improved, Xia Hongsheng is not drunk at this time, but it is true to pretend to be drunk and pretend to be crazy and stupid. Haha, this is called a suspicious strategy! Xia Hongsheng looked drunk and hazy on his face, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

Really. I saw that Ashina Mujin was startled after listening to Xia Hongsheng's words, and glanced at the other Turkic envoys around him in surprise.

Xia Hongsheng saw their reactions in his eyes, and knew that they must have thought that Xia Hongsheng was drunk and accidentally revealed the abacus in the emperor's heart.

Ashina Mujin thought for a moment and asked, "I see!" Let's put it this way. As long as the more things that the Turks give to the Tang Dynasty, the higher the price when buying weapons, His Majesty and the courtiers will definitely allow the Turks to buy weapons from the Tang Dynasty? ”

"Of course! The cost is high, so you can naturally buy it! Xia Hongsheng waved his hand and said, "Do you know how much Your Majesty will sell to Xue Yantuo's weapons?" How much money does a hundred-for-steel knife know? One hundred! Where did Xue Yantuo get so many copper coins? Therefore, at that time, it will be converted into cattle, sheep, horses, copper ore and the like according to the market price, and exchanged for cattle, sheep and horses. Do you think Datang is a fool? Will you watch Xue Yantuo sit big with Datang's weapon? So what do you add? ”

Ashina Mujin's eyes showed joy, he raised his hand and poured another glass, raised his glass and said, "Thank you Xiahou for waking up, I almost made a mistake in the next place!" This cup, in the next dry for respect, to thank Xiahou! ”

Everyone was polite for a few more drinks, Xia Hongsheng climbed on the table and "fell asleep", Ashina Mujin got up and gently pushed Xia Hongsheng's shoulder, seeing that Xia Hongsheng did not move, so he sent Xia Hongsheng back home.

Ashina Mujin is also a thoughtful person, he did not make a carriage, but carried Xia Hongsheng on his back, all the way from Dongshi to Xia Hongsheng's house, and the pedestrians on the street saw the Turks carrying Xia Hongsheng on their backs, which seemed to be very good.

Xia Hongsheng knew Ashina Mujin's intentions, but he was not worried, and let them send him back home.

knocked on the door and handed Xia Hongsheng back to Qi Yong's hands, and Ashina Mujin said goodbye and left.

When the Turks walked away and the gate closed, Xia Hongsheng, who was originally asleep, suddenly broke free from Qi Yong, wiped his face, and said, "Qi Yong, go and prepare the car, I want to enter the palace immediately!" ”

Seeing Xia Hongsheng like this, Qi Yong knew that his son-in-law was pretending to be drunk just now, so he immediately prepared the carriage according to Xia Hongsheng's instructions.

"Don't rush to the palace, go around first." After Xia Hongsheng hurriedly got into the carriage, he said.

Qi Yong naturally understood Xia Hongsheng's intentions, so he drove out of the house from the side door, and went in the opposite direction of the palace.

Xia Hongsheng went straight to the study, and Li Shimin should be in the study at this time.

After some reporting and being summoned by the chamberlain, Xia Hongsheng entered the study.

As soon as he entered the study, Li Shimin, who was looking at the book, immediately took his eyes off the book, stared at Xia Hongsheng and frowned, and asked, "What's the matter?" Go out, don't let this wine smell pollute my study! You're a deceitful! ”

"Well, Your Majesty forgives you, isn't this a matter of urgency? Weichen has an urgent matter to report to His Majesty, so he has no time to bathe and burn incense and change clothes, so he immediately hurried to report to His Majesty! Xia Hongsheng hurriedly bowed down and said with a sneer.

Seeing the emperor, in fact, there is no need to bathe in incense so seriously, so Li Shimin glanced at Xia Hongsheng and said: "Don't be coy there, say, what's the matter?" (To be continued.) )
