Chapter 281 What conspiracy do you have?

In Chang'an City, news is always flying all over the sky. Various gossips come from the homes of various princes and important officials. These have become the content of everyone's chat in Chang'an City. Of course, the most eye-catching news is of course the news from the royal family.

.If we talk about popularity, it is naturally the battle between the two princes in the market. They have been introduced in countless versions, or they have fought for beauties, and even the prince's dispute has been involved. And Lu Zhaoci's

This behavior of playing fifty-fifty pieces each has aroused speculation among various interest groups in Chang'an City.

"This is nothing to guess. The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh." In the Tihe Hall, a look of disdain appeared on Changsun Wuji's face, while Changsun Wujiu across from him frowned.

"It seems that Your Majesty has made up his mind to marry the King of Shu this time?" Changsun Wugou glared at Changsun Wuji dissatisfied and said: "Recently I heard that Yang Niangniang begged the Queen to find a wife for the King of Shu among the courtiers.

Regarding the marriage, I’m afraid I just don’t want the King of Shu to go to the grassland.”

"Hmph, she doesn't want the King of Shu to go to the grassland. She thinks that once the King of Shu marries the grassland, the King of Shu will never have the chance to obtain the title of crown prince. Because the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty cannot be a Turkic

, what is the difference between this and the Rouran tribe back then? Hum, the Tang Dynasty is not the former Zhou Dynasty or the former Qi Dynasty, there is no need to take this opportunity to curry favor with the Turks. This is what Yang Ning'er meant by this move, she wanted to give Lu Ke

It’s an established fact, hum. How can His Majesty’s national policy change because of the King of Shu? Among the princes, King Lu Ke of Shu has long been excluded from the candidates for the position of crown prince, and she is the only one who still wants to have sweet dreams! It’s simply

It’s wishful thinking.”

"You can't talk about it. In my opinion, the King of Shu is more suitable to be a wise king than the prince." Changsun Wugou frowned slightly and snorted: "Actually, what's so good about the position of prince?

, seeing that His Majesty only sleeps for three hours a day, you can see how tired the emperor is."

"Your Majesty, you are really joking." Changsun Wuji shook his head and smiled, and said: "There is only one seat for the emperor. Who wouldn't want it? What's more, my son is qualified to inherit the country that I conquered. Why?

It will be given to the prince, not to other princes. The opportunity is equal, why not fight for it?"

"Brother, are you planning to fight for this position with Cheng Lie?" Changsun Wugou frowned even more tightly. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and he said dissatisfiedly: "You are already serving as Sikong of the current dynasty, Xuande

He is an important minister in the palace and has deep trust from His Majesty. His wealth and splendor are enough to influence the entire eldest grandson family, so why would he think about other things? Chenglie is still young. Isn’t it unfair to him to let him be exposed to all this at this time?

Compared with his elder brothers, his chance of success is even smaller. If he doesn't fight for that thing now, no matter who takes the throne in the future, a prince will not be able to escape. If he fails to snatch it now, no matter who takes the throne in the future, Chenglie will not be able to escape.

The fate will be..." Changsun Wugou shook his head, his eyes were slightly red, but he did not continue what he said.

"Does the empress think that I am greedy for wealth and want to send Prince Chenglie into a pit of fire?" A bitter smile appeared on Changsun Wuji's face, he looked up at his sister, shook his head and said: "Sometimes, you just don't fight.

But the opportunity has been presented to you. It is not that His Highness Chenglie and I want to fight, but that His Majesty wants Chenglie to fight for it. This is beyond our control at all."

"You mean His Majesty wants you to fight?" Changsun Wugou said in surprise.

"Yes, your Majesty will probably train Chenglie himself. He doesn't trust us ministers who come from aristocratic families. I heard that Lian Cen Wendu was excluded by him as a teacher to the King of Yue." Changsun Wuji showed a hint of excitement on his face.

, showing a trace of disappointment again...

"Your Majesty has never told me." Changsun Wugou looked surprised.

"Wait, wait! It's almost over." Changsun Wuji shook his head and said: "Is His Highness the Crown Prince good at martial arts? Of course he is not martial at all. But such people were given to the general as his disciples by His Majesty. Hey, hey,

The disciple of the general is not the prince, but Lu Chenglie, the king of Yue. The only ones who can see this are me and Cen Wenwen in the current dynasty. I am afraid that soon, your majesty will issue an order for the king of Yue to take the literature museum to serve the bachelors.

.”

"Serve all the scholars?" Changsun Wugou was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help but stand up.

"It's just the master of a well-known scholar." Changsun Wuji shook his head and said: "There are many knowledgeable people in the literature hall today. If Cheng Lie can join it, he will definitely achieve great success in the future."

"My Majesty, my Majesty, it's not good. Your Highness broke His Majesty's Qibao Inkstone. He was punished by Your Majesty. He said it was disrespectful to the saint. He will be sent to the Literature Museum to serve the students." At this time, the palace maid Xiao

Lan Hua rushed in with a face full of panic and shouted loudly.

"It's true." Changsun Wuji suddenly remembered what Changsun Wuji said just now, his face changed, and he sat down suddenly. There was a strange meaning in his eyes.

"Is there anyone else who has been punished?" Changsun Wuji's eyes flashed.

"There is also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Majesty said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could not set an example for the other princes, so he was also punished." Xiao Lanhua said quickly.

"Okay, I understand, please step back first!" Changsun Wuji frowned, waved his hand, and drove Little Lanhua out. He walked around in the hall.

"Brother, you are too sensitive. No, even the prince has entered. If His Majesty really wants to train Chenglie, the prince will not suffer. It was Chenglie's fault and he had something to do with the prince.

What does it have to do with anything." A smile appeared on Changsun Wuji's face, obviously she didn't believe what Changsun Wuji said.

"What is a small Qibao Zhenyan? This thing is not a treasure passed down from ancient times. Although there are not many in the palace, it is definitely not a rare species. But your Majesty, because of such a trivial matter, the prince and his wife were

Liedu was sent to the Literature Museum, so it can be seen that there must be a reason for this." Changsun Wuji sneered and said: "I just didn't expect that Your Majesty has such high hopes for the Crown Prince. Even though he knew that he was behind the Guangdong family, he still had such high hopes for the Crown Prince.

I have a glimmer of hope. What a deep love between father and son!"

"Isn't His Highness the Crown Prince still going to participate in the Turkic peace talks?" Changsun Wugou asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty has decided to pacify Jieli first. This peace negotiation is just a farce. After getting the corresponding benefits, he will let Tuli and Jieli fight each other. By next year, the general will lead the army out of the border. The prince wants to

There is no need to participate in the peace talks." Changsun Wuji said with a smile. There was a trace of pride on his face. Changsun Wuji could see clearly that he didn't know where. I am afraid that this move was made by his brother and other insidious counselors.

I just pity those Turks, they still have to count the money after being sold by these people.

"This is why His Majesty still pays so much attention to His Highness the Crown Prince. It's really unexpected! We have to think of a way." Changsun Wuji didn't notice the look on his sister's face, but frowned, but in his heart

He was thinking about something secretly. After a while, he shook his head, raised his hands and said, "There are other important matters in Xuande Hall. I will leave first." Changsun Wuji didn't know what he was thinking in his heart at this moment, so he still stood up and said in person

Sent Changsun Wuji out.

But Bo Tie, who had been staying in the post house for a few days, was very surprised today, because he usually wanted to see the ministers who were involved in the peace talks, but all of them refused to meet him. Dou Yi even closed the door of his house and refused to give him any permission.

Bo Tie had a chance, but today was different. He actually received news from officials of the Tang Dynasty's Ministry of Rites that they would have one last consultation on the peace talks this afternoon. At what time, the Tang Dynasty wanted to have peace talks. This made Bo Tie very happy.

Surprised, but no matter what, I was surprised, but I had to go. Bo Tie made serious preparations again. He planned to win some benefits for the Turks in the last peace talks...

"Lord Bo Tie, please take a seat." In Wuying Hall, Bo Tie looked at the peace envoys opposite in surprise. The leader was still Dou Yi, but the only difference was that this time, there was no longer the annoying young boy.

This surprised Bo Tie.

"I wonder where the young prince is?" Bo Tie asked tentatively.

"The young prince has been sent to the military camp by His Majesty. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also been imprisoned in the Literature Museum. I am afraid that Mr. Bo Tie will not be able to see the two highnesses today." Dou Yi did not hide the matter from Bo Tie.

He said it lightly. But Bo Tie sounded very happy. Could it be that there had been changes within the Tang Dynasty? Even His Highness the Crown Prince was imprisoned. This was good news. At least he didn't have to face that difficult person.

young man.

"Oh, that's really a surprising thing!" Bo Tie said hypocritically.

What kind of person Dou Yi was, he could clearly see what Bo Tie was thinking at this moment. He sneered in his heart, but still said lightly: "I came to see Mr. Bo Tie today to discuss the issues left over after the Battle of Shengzhou.

I also ask Master Bo Tie to uphold the principle of friendship between the two parties and settle this matter. Come to think of it, you and I have been discussing this matter for nearly eight months. It should be settled." Dou Yi laughed.

said.

"Your envoy is right. The longer this matter is delayed, it will be detrimental to both you and us. We also hope to resolve this matter as soon as possible, but the conditions you proposed are too high, and it is difficult for Khan to accept it!" Bo Tie

After thinking for a while, he rolled his eyes and couldn't help but say. Since the other party wants to end the peace talks, if he doesn't take advantage at this time, wouldn't it be a shame for him to come all the way to the Central Plains?

In the past few months, the grievances he had suffered in the Central Plains were nothing. He had decided to take advantage of it this time to avoid being looked down upon by others when he returned to the grasslands.

"Hmph, you are really looking for death. At this time, you are still thinking of taking advantage of our country, the Tang Dynasty. After all, they are barbarians from the grassland. How do you know how powerful our Central Plains people are. If His Majesty doesn't have other plans, I'm afraid your 100,000 Turkic soldiers

, the number of people who can return to the grassland is only one or two out of ten, what a pity." Dou Yi saw it clearly, with a trace of sarcasm on his lips, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty has an imperial edict, these other things

All are easy to discuss, but one thing cannot be changed, that is, the country of father and son, Jieli Khan must regard me, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, as his father, otherwise, your two families will start fighting again."

When Bo Tie heard this, his heart moved, and he thought to himself: "This Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the same as those emperors of the previous dynasties. He has such an empty reputation. A country of father and son, isn't it very simple? As long as my Khan accumulates strength, he will be able to do it again."

Going south, when the time comes, you, Lu Zhaoci, will not have such a good opportunity. You are so lucky. If you cannot destroy the Tang Dynasty, that would be called a strange thing! However, this matter cannot be agreed to so easily.

Tang is so easy to negotiate and has changed his previous attitude. There must be a story behind it. Humph, if you don't figure him out, how can you be willing to accept it?" When he thought of this, he immediately said: "Although I agree with this point, I don't know.

Whatever the Khan wants, it is better to write this article into the peace talks first, and then make a decision after the ministers forward it to the Khan. I believe the Khan also agrees with this matter."

"That's very good." A sneer appeared at the corner of Dou Yi's mouth. Since you want to delay time, let's see what happens to you in the end. He then said: "The compensation of more than 30 million yuan agreed at the beginning cannot be changed.

But Your Majesty is kind and broad-minded, and is willing to discuss it further. This fraction will be eliminated, and the rest must be compensated to the Tang Dynasty. Hey, Master Botie, millions of silver coins is a quite huge number! From this point of view,

This shows His Majesty’s kindness.”….

The corner of Bo Tie's mouth twitched. Although the number of two to three million guan was reduced, the bulk of it was 30 million guan. This is a quite huge number. The Turks have repeatedly attacked the Central Plains over the years and have obtained numerous gains.

Although he had very little money, he still felt a pang of pain when he had to take out 30 million silver coins in one go. This was the Turks’ collection for decades! Could it be that just giving it to Lu Zhaoci like this would strengthen his enemies? When I think of it,

, Bo Tie felt a pain in his body. He salivated and said: "Master Dou, you have also been on a mission to the grassland, and you must also know the details of our Turks. Thirty million yuan is not something that can be easily obtained.

, you see, do you want to ask His Majesty the Great Emperor to reduce the amount by one or two more?"

"Haha, it's not impossible." Dou Yi seemed to know what Bo Tie wanted to say, and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty is wise, powerful, benevolent and caring for the people. Anyway, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks are already a country of father and son, and so are the herdsmen on the grasslands.

My people, the Tang Dynasty, if all the Turks' money is taken away, the herdsmen will be the ones who end up unlucky. Your Majesty cannot bear it, so you will take the following measures. First, the Turks will first pay a sum of money within a month.

Ten million guan, presumably, this amount of money is not a big figure for the grassland Ashina family. Secondly, when exchanging Turkic prisoners, nearly 100,000 captives were all handed over to the Turks, and the Turks must pay the Turks

The Tang Dynasty provided the same number of Han people and paid five million guan of silver; thirdly, there was also 15 million guan of silver that could be repaid in ten years. As for other terms, such as opening up trade routes and trading with each other

Wait, these must be discussed separately. What do you think?"

"Ten years to pay off?" Bo Tie opened his eyes wide. He had never heard of compensation in this way. The compensation could actually be paid off in installments. When did Datang have such a good heart? He had forgotten

No, not long ago, in the same place, a young man forced him to run away in embarrassment. Now in the same place again, the other party actually proposed such a good condition. Although fifteen hundred guan of silver is a lot

, but for the Turks who had plundered them for decades, and the overlords in the late Sui Dynasty who paid filial piety to the Turkic Khans’ money, these are just a relatively large number, and the Turks can still afford it. As for what happened later

The money of more than 15 million guan was paid off in ten years. Hehe, as long as he got those 100,000 captives, it would only take a few years of accumulation for the Turks to return to their peak level. The money of more than 10 million guan would be repaid.

Do you need to pay it back? Bo Tie secretly sneered in his heart.
