"Has there been any reaction among the market in the past few days?" In the East Palace, Lu Chenglie was leaning on Wang Juan and eating preserved fruit. Ling Qingying was carefully sorting out a book and shook her head when she saw Lu Chenglie's appearance.

He is Lu Zhaoci's son. They say that like a head, like a son, the prince in front of him has no manners at all. He is leaning on a woman as if he is a playboy. He will also be a coward after he ascends the throne. This makes him sad.

Ju Qingying felt very disgusted.

Although there are discussions about this matter in the city, most of them are not involved in His Highness." Ling Qingying sighed deeply and said that Prince Wei's palace has been very lively recently."

It would be strange if his place is not lively." Lu Chenglie sneered and said that King Wei thought that this was what my second brother looked like at this time. He actually thought about the outcome of letting my second brother go alone. It's really abominable."

King Wei is said to have overestimated his capabilities, and His Highness settled it without any effort." Wang Juan said with a smile on the side, with a hint of disdain on the corner of her mouth.

It's Qingying's idea that's good." Lu Chenglie smiled and nodded at Chaomu Qingying with a trace of satisfaction in his eyes. A few days ago, his mother and concubine told Gu that Gu would get married after the battle in Jiangnan.

." Wang Juan on the side became even more happy when she heard this, and her eyes were filled with tears.

Oh." Ju Qingying was stunned when he heard this and then nodded as if nothing happened. However, Lu Chenglie could still see a hint of joy in her eyes. This actually made him very happy.

In fact, the affairs of King Wei can be big or small." Ju Qingying quickly put the matter behind him and said calmly. No matter what he said, what kind of messages there would be in the market, the most important question is what His Majesty thinks.

As for other things, it is not under consideration at all. Your Highness just needs to grasp what His Majesty thinks."

But Your Majesty is a rare wise king, and public opinion will still affect Your Majesty's mind when this happens. Doesn't Your Majesty often say that people are like rivers and mountains, and like boats? Water can carry boats and overturn elixirs." Wang Juan swept the clear water.

Ying glanced uneasy and said, "My little sister thinks that this matter is not only related to His Majesty, but more importantly, what the military's morale is thinking. War will kill people, and the merchants will also be unlucky in the war. Will they agree to the war?"

"

Father will not agree to them." Lu Chenglie sat up suddenly and sneered. What the father is going to do will allow this guy to interfere. The so-called theory of the king and the people is actually just for others to listen to. Father is strong.

If it was about other things, such as the people's hardship, maybe he would really agree to this guy. Unfortunately, it is about the country, the country, and the future foreign policy of the Tang Dynasty. How would my father agree? Imagine if my father agreed to the marriage.

It is said that future emperors will speak easily. But if the father is willing to go to war for this matter, who of the future kings will dare to mention the matter of marriage. The father will not agree to this matter. King Wei did it at the wrong time.

I made the wrong decision. Reading too many books is sometimes not good." Ling Qingying and Wang Juan were silent when they heard this. One of them is Zhizhu, the daughter of the chief assistant, and the other is the queen of a noble family.

They are both extremely intelligent and scheming people, but we have to admit that these two women don't know how to be an emperor and what the emperor is thinking. Lu Chenglie may not know it before, but it will be different after supervising the country.

The two of them stand at different heights, so they look at the problem from different angles. If it weren't for the supervisor Lu Chenglie, he wouldn't understand Lu Zhaoci's insistence. But now he understands the reason why his father did this.

It was to set an example for future kings of the Tang Dynasty and establish the ancestral system.

Don't underestimate this ancestral system. I don't know how many things have changed in the past dynasties because of this ancestral system. How did the conservatives and the reformists come about because one insisted on the ancestral system and the other insisted on reform. Lu Zhaoci is now the emperor.

A few years later, what he said became the ancestral system. His persistence at this time will be something that emperors of all generations must insist on in the future. This is the ancestral system.

I heard that the Tibetan ambassador Lu Dongzan and the others have arrived in Fengzhou this time?" Mu Qingying suddenly said softly that they still had a day's rest in Fengzhou. She also said that the scenery in Fengzhou is good."

Where is he resting? He is waiting for the envoys from the five southwest tribes to appear." Lu Chenglie sneered and said that it is ridiculous to use the strength of the five southwest tribes to threaten Datang."

This means that Tubo is not ready for war, otherwise there is no need to wait for this person." Ling Qingying analyzed seriously. Of course, they have to find out the truth of the court to see if launching a war at this time has a chance of winning. Directly.

Once he enters Chang'an, there is no need to wait. Not only will he not be able to achieve his goal by waiting, but it will expose his own cowardice."

What Qingying said is that Ludongzan was Songtsen Gampo’s capable minister and he played a big role in pacifying the Tibetan tribes, and it was because of this that he was ordered to come to the Tang Dynasty.”

Lu Chenglie took out Zhang from the desk he sent to him and said: Rumor has it that this person is quick-witted and quick to read Confucian classics in the Central Plains. He is a rare talent in Tubo. According to the information from Jin Yiwei, he can also write good poems. His talent and learning are comparable to those of ordinary scholars in the Central Plains.

No one can compare to him."

Even so, wouldn't there still be a flaw?" Wang Juan said disdainfully. The civilization of the Central Plains is profound and profound, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and wise. How could he be disturbed by Lu Dongzan's conspiracy?" There was a lot of flattery in his words.

Lu Chenglie's face showed a hint of joy when he heard this, but Mu Qingying in front of him looked at Wang Juan thoughtfully, lowered his head, stopped talking, and carefully sorted the books in front of him.

Is Your Highness Lu going to pick up this Lu Dongzan?" Ling Qingying suddenly started talking and asked

When Qingying said this, Gu was very blamed. Lu Dongzan had already arrived in Fengzhou, which was only two days away from Chang'an. His father hadn't crossed the Yangtze River yet. Logically, he should have sent someone to greet him. Why didn't he even get an imperial edict?

It’s really strange to come down here.” Lu Chenglie frowned and asked in surprise when he heard this.

Lu Xia may have done this intentionally." Mu Qingying thought for a while and then said calmly that Your Majesty also wanted to see the attitude of the people in the capital, or in other words, the attitude of the people in the Xuande Palace. Perhaps the attitude of King Wei was also possible.

"

In this case, I can't go alone." Lu Chenglie said after thinking for a moment.

If a regiment from Tubo comes and needs His Highness the Crown Prince to greet him in person, all he needs to do is send an official from the Ministry of Etiquette." Ling Qingying sneered and said, the higher the rank of the official who picks him up, the more proud Lu Dongzan would be.

The lower the level, the more unsure he is."

Not bad." Lu Chenglie nodded and said I won't get involved in this matter. I want to see what King Wei can do. Scholar, I hope he doesn't follow the same path as his elder brother."

A King of Wei has nothing to worry about. What I am worried about is the King of Shu." Mu Qingying showed a strange smile on his face and took out a document in his hand and said. Recently, His Highness the King of Shu has made a lot of contributions and gained a reputation in the military.

It’s getting bigger and bigger. Even the general admires him.”

Of course, after all, he has learned military skills from General Xu Shiji for so many years. If he doesn’t win a few more victorious battles, I will doubt that he has learned it in vain." Lu Chenglie seemed to have not heard the meaning of Che Qingying's words. He said so slightly.

Said disdainfully.

Wang Juan opened her mouth when she heard this and was about to remind Lu Chenglie, but she saw Qingying gently shaking her head. Then she said nothing, lowered her head and gently stuffed a preserved fruit into Lu Chenglie's mouth.

I know what you want to say, but this is not what we can say or what I can do." Lu Chenglie shook his head and said, in fact, he knew about his father's decision, and the reason why his father did this was to prevent what happened to the previous dynasty.

Everything that happens has two sides. It has pros and cons. It just depends on whether it has more pros or more cons. This sentence was said by the emperor. The prince's control of the army is not conducive to the country and the country of future emperors, but the same thing will not happen in the pre-Sui period.

Haha, as long as Gu can suppress the King of Shu, why should we be afraid that the King of Shu will have different intentions? If Gu can't suppress the King of Shu in the future, it means that Gu and Gu's descendants are not worthy of being a good emperor. No matter what, everyone in the Tang Dynasty has the surname Lu.

"Yes." Lu Chenglie shook his head. In fact, no matter who encounters this kind of thing, he feels uncomfortable. His brother in charge is a sharp sword hanging on his head, making people have to be careful. He wants to refuse, but

But he couldn't refuse, at least not now, and rationally he knew that this approach would be of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty. So he was very depressed.

I heard that the younger brother of Uncle Liang Wang’s family has the legacy of Liang Wang,” said Li Qingying softly.

I know." Lu Chenglie nodded. All he had to do was mention it so he could sober up, and there was no need to say it out loud. Lu Chenglie also knew that even a trace of Mang Qingying's words just nodded. He didn't want Lu Zhaoci to be defeated by him.

Therefore, he is not afraid of any conspiracy. Lu Chenglie is just a prince who is enjoying his success. He can only believe in himself. It’s just that it’s hard to say these words.

Let’s talk about how we should receive the Tibetan Ambassador Lu Dongzan and his 200-member delegation when they come to the Tang Dynasty.” The Chief Assistant of Xuande Hall sat on the chair quietly with his eyes lowered as if

He looks listless while sleeping and doesn't look like a prime minister at all..

Haha, what's there to say? Isn't it an envoy from a foreign country? Just send a doctor from the Ministry of Rites to receive him." Wei Zheng said disdainfully. Is a Tibetan ambassador worthy of being studied here by several of our Xuande Hall ministers? We, the Tang Dynasty

It is the Xuande Hall of the Kingdom of Heaven. It is the most important thing of the country. The things that are dealt with every day are all major events. Why should Lu Dongzan discuss it here? Sir, the Chief Assistant, just ask the officials of the Ministry of Rites to study it. Just send any doctor. Let’s talk about other things.

things"

Master Wei, what you said is wrong." Wei Ting shook his head and said that at other times, Lu Dongzan would not have to take it to heart, but this time it is different."

Why is it different?" Changsun Wuji sneered and said, isn't it him who threatens our Tang Dynasty with hundreds of thousands of soldiers? A group of Tubo barbarians actually dare to threaten our Tang Dynasty? It's really a joke that Xu Shiji's army of 100,000 people is a vegetarian. Let him

If it is impossible to come here, my eldest son, Sun Wuji, will also go to the front to kill the enemy."

Even so, don't forget that the Tang Dynasty can support a war now. The treasury is empty, Taicang is short of food and grass, the exhausted soldiers marched eastward and then westward, and almost caught up with the troops in silence. Do you think?

Can Your Majesty learn from Yang Guang?" Wei Ting persuaded him earnestly, saying that although the Tang Dynasty is rich all over the world, it is currently a difficult period and we cannot easily use weapons. Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty will be in danger."

Then what do you say?" Changsun Wuji looked at Wang Zhang coldly with his eyes wide open, looking like he wanted to eat someone.

The suggestion given by the lower official, His Highness the King of Wei, is good." Wei Ting said with a strange look on his face when he heard this, "Lu Dongzan is here to propose marriage to Songtsen Gampo. In this case, we might as well choose one in the palace."

Following the example of Han Dynasty, a palace maid was conferred as a princess and betrothed to Songtsen Gampo as his wife. This not only calmed the anger of Tibet, but also resolved the dispute between the two parties and safeguarded the honor of the royal family. The official thought that His Highness the King of Wei was planning

feasible."

What do you think?" He glanced at everyone with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

I still think it's better to keep this matter simple. How can the King of Wei know about state affairs if he is just a scholar?" Wei Zheng thought for a while and sighed. What's more, he just expressed his opinion casually, so he doesn't have to be a child, so he doesn't have to be like this."

The book has its own Yan Ruyu, and the book has its own house of gold. Which one of us has not learned the truth from the book. His Royal Highness the King of Wei is a famous talented man in the clan. The collection of books in the Wenzao Pavilion he established is no less than ten thousand volumes. "Wang

Hehe said with a smile. The more books he reads, the more things he understands. Look at the ideas that His Highness King Wei has come up with, but they are much higher than ours. He achieves more with one stone. At least in a short period of time, I, Wang Gua, can

I can't think of this idea. I also heard that many people in the private sector praised His Highness the King of Wei, saying that His Highness is the Wenquxing who descended to earth. He is not something that old men like us can compare to. If so, Xianguan

I thought it would be okay to have His Majesty the King of Wei go down to greet you. This will, on the one hand, show that the Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to this matter, and on the other hand, it will show the magnanimity of our Heavenly Kingdom."

I'm afraid there's something wrong with this." Chang Wenwen frowned, glanced at Wang Gua and others, and said, "It seems inappropriate for Ludong to praise a Tubo envoy and let the King of Wei greet him."

What the Lord Chief Assistant said is true. It is very inappropriate for the majestic prince to go down to greet an envoy." Wei Zheng stood up and said loudly. He blew his beard and glared at everyone with a cold look and said, "My lords,

His Royal Highness the King of Wei is the prince, and it is extremely inappropriate for the prince to welcome an envoy from a foreign vassal. This is an insult to the state."

Mr. Wei, His Highness the King of Wei is not here to greet a foreign envoy, but a group of them." Wei Ting sneered and said there are also envoys from the five southwest tribes who have long admired our majesty in the Tang Dynasty, so they came here to pay homage to the emperor. In such a situation, we cannot neglect it.

Envoy, these people came together. Master Wei, do you think it is enough for us, the Tang Dynasty, to only send a doctor from the Ministry of Rites?"

Respecting the emperor and attaching importance to foreign countries should not be shown in this aspect. If that doesn't work, I, the ministers at Xuande Palace, can go and greet them. This will be enough to give face to the foreign envoys. If you, Mr. Wei, don't want to go, I, Wei Zheng, can go."

Wei Zheng said disdainfully.

Okay, since there are different opinions, let's vote." Ling Wenwen, the leader, sighed deeply and said that King Wei and the doctor of the Ministry of Rites were the first one. Everyone, start, "This is the practice of the ministers of Xuande Palace. If there is a dispute, this will be done.

ways to resolve conflicts.

King Wei... "King Wei", "King Wei". Changsun Wuji, "Wang Gua" and Wei Ting both expressed their thoughts.

I abstain." Fang Xuanling coldly placed the tea cup in his hand on the cases in front of him and looked at everyone with a trace of disdain on their faces.

I object." Wei Zheng snorted coldly.

In this case, let the King of Wei go." Juwen sighed deeply and said, "Why is the office sending the decision of Xuande Palace to the Palace of King Wei?" Juwen said calmly, as if what he said was a trivial matter.

.

Huh, farewell." Wei Zheng glanced at everyone coldly, his eyes full of sarcasm, shook his sleeves, and left the Xuande Hall without looking back.

"Old Qian." There was a carriage waiting outside the palace. When Wei Zhong saw that his master's face was not good-looking, he hurriedly greeted him uneasily.

Get in the car and go to Prince Wei's Mansion." Wei Zheng, with a livid face and eyes flashing with anger, snorted to Wei Zhong.

Yes." Wei Zhong's expression changed when he heard this. Although Wei Zheng was usually very dignified, he was still very kind to his servants. But he had never thought of being like this today. He didn't dare to be careless at that moment and quickly ordered the coachman to drive the carriage towards Prince Wei's Mansion.
