"Chenglie knows what uncle means. It's just a matter for the prince. It's better to take the long term. With my father here, there will be no time for us to talk." The hope on Lu Chenglie's face quickly disappeared.

Ying Wuhen showed a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, shook his head and said: "The prince's matter is related to the country. Even though my father is dissatisfied with His Highness the prince, he will not dethrone the prince's position easily. Although my uncle is a genius, but

When I meet my father, I am afraid that I will be useless. Chenglie is stupid and I am afraid that he will have no chance of being crowned prince."

"Not bad, not bad." Unexpectedly, instead of showing any dissatisfaction on Changsun Wuji's face, he laughed loudly, pointed at Lu Chenglie and said, "Your Highness has such an idea, Wuji is relieved."

"Uncle, you think too highly of me." Lu Chenglie shook his head.

"The so-called not fighting means fighting, fighting means not fighting." Changsun Wuji also passed on his experience and said: "If you fight for some things, they may not be yours. If you don't fight, maybe.

Yours. You must pay attention to this. For your father, ask less about political affairs and fulfill more of your responsibilities as a son. Your Highness, please remember this."

"Chenglie has remembered it." Lu Chenglie had a look of confusion on his face, but it was what Changsun Wuji said. Even if he didn't understand it, he could only remember it in his heart for when he grew up, he would

Do understanding.

"There is also Lu Ke. Although this person is known as the King of Chivalry outside, he seems to be smart, but in fact he does not know the principle of being a big man and attracting wind. In addition, he is of the royal family of the former Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty. It is impossible for His Majesty to pass on the throne.

For him, you must not be too presumptuous with him. On the contrary, you must maintain his dignity as an elder brother and the demeanor of a younger brother in front of him." Changsun Wuji sighed deeply and said: "This is

He is an extraordinary person, just like Your Majesty, but it is a pity that his background is a problem, otherwise, you would have no chance."

"King Liang." Lu Chenglie said thoughtfully. Now that the Holy Emperor is on the throne, King Liang is the most peculiar existence among the kings of the clan. As a clan member, he has a lot of troops. More importantly, not only

He is feared by His Majesty today and is a special case among the kings of the clan.

"It's not impossible." Changsun Wuji nodded. But there was nothing strange in his eyes, and his expression was extremely cold. As for what was in his heart, it was not something that little guy like Lu Chenglie could understand.

"Lord Changsun, Lu Ke is asking for an audience." At this time, a clear voice sounded outside the door, and then a handsome-looking young man walked in. It was Lu Ke, the King of Shu. Although he said he was asking for an audience, in fact, he

After all, he is a prince. The current prince, Changsun Wuji, is the uncle of the state, and he should not be asked to "see" him.

"I have met His Highness the King of Shu." Changsun Wuji's fat face showed a hint of kindness.

"I've met the second brother." Lu Chenglie remembered what Changsun Wuji said just now, with a smile on his face, he bowed his hands to Lu Ke respectfully and said.

"Chenglie, Lord Changsun, it's getting late. It's time to go and pay homage to the dead people." Lu Ke looked at Lu Chenglie. A smile appeared on his face. He was obviously very satisfied with Lu Chenglie's attitude.

"Haha, I follow His Majesty's order to accompany His Highness the King of Shu and His Highness the King of Yue to come to offer sacrifices. His Highness the King of Shu is old, so naturally His Highness the King of Shu will be the leader." Changsun Wuji said with a smile: "Your Highness, please preside over the sacrifice!

The minister and the King of Yue followed closely behind. Haha!"

"Since Lord Changsun is so humble, Xiao Wang will not refuse." Lu Ke also nodded, but no longer refused, and said with a smile: "If there is anything rude, please give me some advice from Lord Changsun."

"That's natural, that's natural." Changsun Wuji nodded repeatedly, with a smile on his fat face. He was so kind. He didn't look like an important minister at all...

"Brother, please." Lu Chenglie straightened his clothes, raised his hands towards Lu Ke and said.

"Okay, let's go!" Lu Ke nodded and walked out. Outside, all the civil and military officials in Shengzhou had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Lu Ke, they took the lead. Behind him, Lu Chenglie, King of Yue, and the eldest grandson of Xuande Palace Minister

Wuji followed closely behind. He still didn't understand who was leading the sacrifice, but his reactions in his heart were different.

"On the tenth day of the fifth month in the seventh year of Zhenguan, I..."

"What are you talking about? Shengzhou is the chief priest of the King of Shu?" In Master Cui Ren's mansion, Master Cui Ren looked at the spy in front of him. He was dressed as a royal guard and was a close associate of Lu Qingyun. At this time, a shocking news came.

The person officiating in Shengzhou was actually the King of Shu, Lu Ke. A figure who could be compared with the current prince, no, his reputation was even higher than that of the current prince. Behind him, countless former Sui officials supported this prince who looked exactly like the current prince, and even

, even today's chief ministers will give convenience to the King of Shu at certain times. Now, the King of Shu actually sacrifices on behalf of the emperor. What an honor it is, it is almost no less than that of the prince.

Changsun Wuji has surrendered to the King of Shu? Cui Renshi's first reaction was this. The original imperial edict stated clearly that Changsun Wuji would accompany King of Shu Lu Ke, and King of Yue Lu Chenglie would preside over the sacrifice. But now it is King of Shu Lu Ke who takes the lead. This is

A piece of bad news. Although the Jiangzuo family is also supporting Lu Ke, these people do not have much power in their hands. But if Changsun Wuji is added, the problem will be different. It can already arouse enough of Cui Renshi

Attention paid.

"This Lu Ke? It's really not that simple! But is Changsun Wuji really willing to assist Lu Ke, a prince with blood from the former Sui royal family? You must know that there is Lu Chenglie, the king of Yue, beside him!" Cui Renshi frowned,

After walking around in the hall, after a while of surprise, Cui Renshi soon became suspicious of Changsun Wuji's thoughts. He was also a figure in official circles for a long time, and he did not believe that Changsun Wuji was in such a good mood.

He actually gave up on assisting his nephew and instead assisted Lu Ke.

"This Lu Ke is not simple!" Master Cui Ren thought for a while and frowned. No matter what Zhangsun Wuji had in mind, Lu Ke's status in the court must have been greatly improved after this sacrifice.

If the price rises, many people will be confused by Changsun Wuji's series of methods, and will inevitably follow Lu Ke and cheer for him. Master Cui Ren is even more wary of Lu Ke.

"This Changsun Wuji has also set off from Shengzhou. I am afraid that he will arrive in Chang'an soon. Dou Yi's matter cannot be delayed any longer, otherwise. This Changsun Wuji is very cunning. Once he is allowed to return to the capital, Dou Yi will

Dou Yi will definitely turn to him for help. With his support, I am afraid that even if Dou Yi cannot get the credit he deserves, it is still possible if he just keeps his official position. No, people like Dou Yi cannot stay in the government, let alone

We can't let him become Changsun Wuji's helper." Cui Renshi thought of countless thoughts in his mind.

"Lord Changsun will be back soon." In Dou Yi's house, Dou Yi looked at the servant in front of him with a smile, with a hint of pride on his face. He was holding a few pieces of letter paper in his hand, and what he wrote was Changsun Wuji's.

In the reply letter, it was Changsun Wuji's instructions on the spot, which made Dou Yi feel extremely happy when he saw it.

"Lord Changsun is indeed extraordinary. He is a figure in the Xuande Palace. He pointed it out casually and it made people realize. I admire him very much.

Take it!" Dou Yi nodded repeatedly, stroking the beard on his chin, with a faint look of pride on his face.

"What do you mean, Master?" The servant in front of him looked at Dou Yi and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Hmph, go and pass on my name. I'll invite General Bo Tie to visit Chang'an City tomorrow." Dou Yi said with a smile. But the teasing meaning in his words was even heard by the servants waiting on the side.

Obviously, they all laughed secretly in their stomachs. They couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Bo Tie. These people all know how smart their master is. What's more important is that Dou Yi has not made any move on the peace talks for a long time. This

It is finally time to take action. Not to mention the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty who have been paying attention to this matter for a long time, even the servants in the Dou family are also looking forward to it...

"Dou Yi is out?"

"Dou Yi and Bo Tie headed towards Ba Shang."

"Dou Yi is leading Bo Tie to watch the warriors of the Tang Dynasty. It seems that they are showing off their power in front of Bo Tie and using their power to overwhelm others, hoping to gain the upper hand in the peace talks!"

"What does he want to do?"

……………

Just when everyone in Chang'an City was surprised, Dou Yi and Bo Tie led dozens of soldiers, as well as some ministers from the DPRK and China who participated in the peace talks, and a group of more than a hundred people walked on the official road from Chang'an City to Ba Shang.

superior.

"Lord Bo Tie, what do you think of my country in the Tang Dynasty?" Dou Yi smiled and pointed at the scenery along the way, with a hint of pride on his face.

"The country is picturesque, the country is picturesque!" Bo Tie showed a wry smile on his face. His brows were furrowed and he looked lost in thought. He finally met Dou Yi and received Dou Yi yesterday.

I was very happy to receive Yi's greetings. I thought that peace talks could finally be held this time. Unfortunately, as soon as they met, this guy pulled himself out of the city, saying that he wanted to enjoy the scenery outside Chang'an City, and he opened his mouth to see the scenery.

Youmei, talking about the picturesque scenery, etc., but never mentioned the peace talks. This made Bo Tie very depressed, but there was nothing he could do about it. This Dou Yi was originally a businessman, and he often competed with others for petty profits. This transfer

The method of talking about topics has long been practiced to perfection. Although Bo Tie has learned a little bit, he can't see where Bo Tie's opponent is. He can only follow Dou Yi around and around. He even catches up with his sentences.

However, when I came here, I could only respond casually, and there was no chance to mention the peace talks at all. When I thought that it had been almost a month since I arrived here, but there had been no progress, I felt very upset.

"Hey! Mr. Dou, who are those people there?" Bo Tie suddenly looked at a group of Tang Army soldiers in the distance escorting a group of people towards the west. He was extremely surprised and suddenly laughed and said: "They say that the Central Plains is the

In a country of etiquette, everyone is a gentleman, but today, it seems that there are also people who commit crimes! Look, these prisoners are actually working in the custody of the Tang Dynasty army, which shows that these people are probably big thieves!"

"Haha, Sir Bo Tie, I'm afraid you are wrong about this. Those people are not those who committed crimes in the Tang Dynasty! Haha, speaking of it, the general may know some of these people and say

Uncertain!" Dou Yi heard this with a mysterious look on his face, cupped his hands and said: "These people are the Turkic soldiers captured by our dynasty during the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks not long ago. Haha, maybe some of them are among them.

The general’s acquaintances are also unknown!”

"What, are they my warriors on the grassland?" Bo Tie's expression changed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but nervously looked at the group of people in the distance. Sure enough, as these people slowly approached, Bo Tie could really recognize them.

It turns out that these people are all Turks. Looking at their fierce appearance, it is clear that they are not the ordinary herdsmen on the grassland, but all Turkic cavalry. This is not the result of the Tang Dynasty's border army attacking small tribes on the grassland.

, I’m afraid they are really, as Dou Yi said, the Turkic soldiers captured by the Tang army in that battle.

"Yes, exactly." Dou Yi said without hesitation. There was a hint of pride in his words, and there was a hint of pride on his face. This is unusual for a victorious country. Dou Yi is a small doctor.

, a doctor who was born as a businessman, but faced a powerful nation like the Turks, he could still stand up straight. Not because he was not afraid of death, but because behind him, there was a powerful empire with such a powerful army.

Dou Yi is more afraid of death than anyone else, but at this time, Dou Yi does not represent him alone, but the Tang Empire. So he dares to speak out and face Bo Tie, a hungry wolf on the grassland, and does not care about his murderous behavior.

His eyes were not at all on Hua Na's ferocious face...

"Master Dou, what do you, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, mean by this?" Bo Tie finally suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly. Although the prairie was a defeated country and although he was in a foreign country, Bo Tie could not allow it.

His soldiers are being treated like pigs and dogs here. So he must ask clearly. Otherwise, he will feel uneasy.

"Haha, didn't you see it just now? Our soldiers are transferring these prisoners?" Dou Yi said nonchalantly, with a smile on his face, so cunning.

"Hmph, Mr. Dou Yidou, is this how you treat guests? I want to see your Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and ask him to tell me why he treats my Turkic soldiers and my warriors on the grassland like this."

Bo Tie's eyes were red. Although he didn't know where this so-called transfer was, but when he saw the treatment of the Turkic prisoners, he knew that the place they were transferred to must be a bad place. The Tang Dynasty abused the grassland so much.

Prisoners, even if they spend money to redeem these prisoners in the future, will these prairie warriors be able to regain their martial prowess and follow the Khan to conquer the world? Bo Tie was not sure.

"Hmph, you are bringing this upon yourself." Dou Yi said without hesitation: "Think about it, you Turks attack our Tang border every year, and you don't know how many people of the Tang Dynasty are captured by you every year. These people are all

He was sent to the grassland to become your slave and herd horses for you. Humph, it's the other way around today. Why, Mr. Botie is not happy? Humph, tell you the truth! Let your Turkic soldiers move their base, that's it.

Your Majesty's proposition is of no use even if you want to see him."

"Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?" Bo Tie's expression changed, and he pointed at the Turkic prisoners and said: "Where are you, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, going to send our grassland warriors? Are you going to kill these people? You know, when you entered the grassland

When the Khan met with me, he brought the friendship of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and asked us to prepare a large amount of money to redeem these warriors on the grassland. Why are we not trustworthy now? If this is really the case, your Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

How can you rule the world? Wouldn't you be ridiculed by the people of the world? And you, Dou Yi, with such a despicable temperament, how can you be a minister of peace talks? Talking with you is not like painting a tiger's skin, which will have no effect.

.I, Botie, the ministers under Jieli Khan, the overlord of the prairie, want to protest to your Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. You must replace him with a new minister for peace talks. Otherwise, I, Botie, will change my ministers. The worst is, you and I will be together again.
To be continued...
