Li Shimin arranged a lot of things, but there was only one thing related to Xia Hongsheng, that is, to prevent the Turks from trying to temporarily stabilize the Tang Dynasty under the guise of peace, so that he could first pacify the independence of Xue Yantuo's department without worries.

Jieli calculated that the Tang Dynasty and the Turks have not torn their faces now, and they can be regarded as an alliance to kill the white horse and make an alliance, so whether Li Shimin agrees or refuses to make peace, he always has to see the embassy of peace. And as soon as you see the Turkic mission, it means that the Turks are friendly to the Tang Dynasty, and the two countries are friendly allies, so you have no name and can't do anything to me. I can rest assured and calm down the Xue Yantuo Department first.

But he didn't see that the Tang Dynasty, which was already thick-faced and black-hearted, was driven by Xia Hongsheng, a mercenary in the country, and the bottom line became lower again. You have sent a friendly mission, and I have to take care of your reputation, and I can't stop your "good-willed" behavior. But I don't want to. What to do? Then I'll find a way to make your mission unable to come! In this way, I don't want you to come, but you haven't come! Are you kidding? Isn't it too morally against you to make such an international joke with me? What, you say the mission has already been sent? Then I don't know, I haven't seen your mission appear in Chang'an anyway.

In this way, the Turks were put at a moral disadvantage. You keep saying that you want to ask for peace, but your mission has not come to Chang'an for a long time, you are very disrespectful, I can crusade against you!

It's a good idea. It can not only morally make Datang a righteous party, but also be able to sabotage the Turkic attempts.

But the only thing Xia Hongsheng didn't expect was that Li Lao Er would let him go in person.

This is forcing the good to be a thief!

Xia Hongsheng's original plan was to use newspapers to incite people's resistance and hatred for his relatives. Then secretly to rob the property. Destruction and pro. In the name of protecting the Han family from the ravages of the Turkic barbarians, the news that the Turks sent a peace mission was spread in the form of gossip. Then, Yi Qiulou and Li Feng went out again to call on the heroes of the green forest to rob the embassy and prevent the peace of the relatives, so that whether it was out of anger for the peace relatives or out of coveting the treasures of the peace and relatives mission, the result was to attract a large number of people in the past who were waiting to rob the Turkic peace and relatives mission. And it was done.

Didn't think about it. Li Lao Er didn't know for what purpose, so he let Xia Hongsheng go in person.

This was originally a plan to give full play to the subjective initiative of the gangsters, what was the use of Xia Hongsheng going in person? Is it to personally brandish a broadsword and rush up to rob? Or do you want to be the "leader of the forest thief alliance" and lead those who were called by Yi Qiulou and Li Feng to rob?

Xia Hongsheng asked, Li Shimin only said that there must be a trustworthy person to watch, control the overall situation, and not break things. After all, the stakes are very high, and if you receive the mission, it is not good to attack the Turks again, otherwise you will have the notoriety of taking the initiative to provoke war. It is also inconvenient to contact Xue Yantuo's envoy again, otherwise the Turks will jump out and say that you have received the Turkic mission. When he met with the envoy of Xue Yantuo who rebelled against the Turks, he fell behind morally.

Regardless of this era. Or in the Hereafter, it is true from nation to nation. At least on the surface, when peaceful coexistence is maintained, even if the teeth of hatred in the heart are itching, they do not want to be the one who fired the first shot. Otherwise, they will become the party that takes the initiative to provoke the war, and will be used by those who have the intention, condemned it, and lose its reputation. Datang attaches so much importance to reputation that it naturally does not want to be infamous for taking the initiative to provoke war against a country that is willing to be a vassal and pro-family.

However, Xia Hongsheng always felt that it seemed that it was not just that simple.

Coming out of the palace, Xia Hongsheng was thinking about this matter all the way. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was wrong, and when I returned home, I had a faint understanding in my heart.

After sitting in the study for a while, Xia Hongsheng went out of the study again and walked into the small courtyard at the back.

He waved his hand at the courtyard that was saluting him, signaling that he didn't need to be polite. Then he went into the courtyard, went up to the attic, and knocked at the door.

"Childe is here, please come in." A lazy voice came from inside the door.

Xia Hongsheng pushed the door in, and saw Youji reclining on the couch, holding a book in her hand and turning a few pages at random, and saw Xia Hongsheng coming in, so he glanced at it lazily.

"How do you know I'm here?" Xia Hongsheng asked with a smile and sat down at the table.

Youji put down the book in her hand, still looking lazy, turned her head and said, "Qiao'er's steps are brisk, and Pan'er's steps are quiet." It's not as steady as Childe's footsteps. Besides, apart from Qiao'er Pan'er, who will come here to find a concubine except for Gongzi? ”

"Isn't that still the princess's mother and daughter?" Xia Hongsheng said.

Youji turned over, a touch of incense was slightly exposed, and she didn't care, and said, "The concubine won't let them come." How embarrassed is a widow's family to go to the Hou Ye's house often. Others have to chew on the root of their tongues. ――What's the matter with Childe, let's talk about it quickly! The concubine's body is already boring and tight! ”

Xia Hongsheng's mind was stained for a moment, and then he regained his clarity and said, "There is really something, I want to hear your thoughts." ”

Yuhime suddenly sat up from the bed, got up and walked to the table and sat down, her eyes burning, as if she had discovered something extremely interesting: "Childe, tell me quickly!" ”

Xia Hongsheng then told Youji about the interception of the Turkic and pro-envoys, and then asked: "I don't quite understand, why the emperor sent me, I always feel that it is not so simple, so I want to hear your opinion." ”

You Ji stared at Xia Hongsheng, suddenly smiled, and said, "I'm afraid that Childe doesn't understand it very much, but he doesn't want to believe it!" ”

"You say." Xia Hongsheng smiled and was noncommittal.

"Obviously, Li Shimin is using this move to test his son!" You Ji said to Xia Hongsheng: "How can the imperial court and the rivers and lakes ever stand together? During this time, Childe wrote the stories of those chivalrous men, formed a chivalrous line, and competed in the civil and military conferences, and let so many people read them in the newspaper. How powerful that newspaper is, I'm afraid Li Shimin is also worried about the things in that newspaper now. Li Shimin will connect the newspaper with Childe's actions

Xia Hongsheng smiled again: "It's a little interesting, keep talking!" ”

"The emperor is suspicious! Although Childe did all good things, he helped Datang. But everything is just in case. What if Gongzi actually wanted to praise those chivalrous men through those stories and newspapers, and then set up the organization of chivalrous travel, and gathered the forces of the rivers and lakes through martial arts competitions? If the concubine is the emperor, she will definitely have doubts. If the concubine is an ordinary emperor, then the prince will not be allowed to do these things. If the concubine is a bold emperor, then simply let Gongzi go to those Jianghu people to see what Gongzi is going to do. ”

"So......" Xia Hongsheng looked at Youji with a smile, what she said was not far from the conclusion he had just reached.

"So it's just that the emperor thinks too much." You Ji laughed very charmingly, and suddenly leaned forward and stretched out her arms, hooked Xia Hongsheng's neck, and blinked: "Li Shimin doesn't trust Gongzi so much, why don't Gongzi and his concubine take him down, and Gongzi will be the throne, how good!" ”

Xia Hongsheng grinned and broke free of her arm: "Hey, the dream is a bit too big!" (To be continued.) )
