Facing Liu Hongji's words, the ministers of Zhao State present smiled.

All Li Chongjiu and others didn't believe it. Why did Li Yuan suddenly negotiate peace? Peacekeeping was also a common edict used by Zhao State, and it was just a delaying strategy.

Liu Hongji said: "Your Majesty said that he and Emperor Zhao are both favored by God, but this is the world. The Central Plains wars are continuous and Wang Shichong harms the other side. This is a lasting matter. The people of the Central Plains have long been worried about peace and are unwilling to fight again. If His Majesty fights again at this time, it will undoubtedly betray people's hearts, be ashamed of the people, and bear the reputation of being a powerful military force. Of course, Your Majesty is not afraid of you, Lord Zhao, but just seeking peace for the people of the world."

Liu Hongji is worthy of being an excellent lobbyist. After saying the principles one by one, Ji Chuan was about to refute him, Li Chongjiu stopped and said, "I am also willing to believe in the sincerity of the Tang Lord's peace talks. It's just that sincerity is not just a casual statement. Did Li Yuan ask me to stop the attack on Shandong?"

Liu Hongji laughed and said, "That's right, that's exactly what it is."

Li Chongjiu smiled and didn't speak. Pei Ji said, "Lord Tang is not right. He said it was a peace talk, but he just wanted us to stop attacking Shandong. Who doesn't know that this is a delaying strategy? This is too vague."

Liu Zhenghui said on the side: "Mr. Pei, you are highly respected and respected. You are a minister with your Lord. Don't you know that your Lord is not a person without trust? This time, my Lord really came to discuss peace with King Zhao, but I hope you will not let down this kind of good intentions."

Ji Chuan sneered: "Our army attacked Shandong's army, and the troops were heading at the city. If Mr. Tang really intends to make peace, he might as well wait until our Shandong battle is over. Any talk can be done at that time."

Liu Hongji spoke seriously and said, "Your Majesty Zhao, you have let my lord down on your good intentions. Whenever a great country fights, the word "Dao" is emphasized. Those who have attained the Tao will have many helps, and those who have lost the Tao will have few helps. If Your Majesty continues to be strong and dominate and attack the land of the Tang Dynasty, our Tang people have no choice but to rise up and fight."

Pei Ju said, "This is a bad word. I heard that Mr. Tang was building a navy in Sichuan and Sichuan, and it seemed that he was intentionally going downstream to attack Xiao Xian. If Mr. Tang really didn't want to fight, why should he attack Liang State?"

Liu Hongji said: "This is different. For example, although Du Fuwei of Jianghuai was also unruly, he was only a king, but not an emperor. However, Xiao Xian was only a county magistrate, and secretly used the imperial title and changed the imperial edict to establish the country. This rebellious madman."

Pei Ji asked back, "If Xiao Xian was willing to leave the imperial title, would the Tang Lord be willing to stop his troops and stop attacking Liang State?"

Liu Hongji said: "If you abolish the emperor's title, but your ambitions are still there, how can you tolerate it? King Goguryeo wrote a letter to claim that he was a dirt minister in Liaodong, but his rebellion is still there. These people must be wiped out to eliminate future troubles."

Pei Ji said: "So Li Tang insisted on attacking Liang State?"

Liu Hongji said: "My lord is attacking Liang, not Zhao. If Xiao Xian is willing to leave the emperor and join the Great Zhao, then it will be the territory of Great Zhao. My lord will withdraw his troops immediately without saying a word."

Speaking of this, even Pei Ji and Ji Chuan, who had always spoken, couldn't help but admire Liu Hongji's sarcasm. If Li Chongji wanted Xiao Xian to temporarily leave the imperial title, it would be impossible to say this, let alone Xiao Xian raised the flag and joined Zhao State. Xiao Xian's Liang State now has 400,000 troops, and the land is as dangerous as the Jianghan State, and it has not yet reached this point.

Liu Hongji also occupies a word for literacy everywhere.

Seeing Pei Ju refuting, Ji Chuan and the others smiled. They looked at Li Chongji and said, "I wonder what Your Majesty wants?"

Speaking of this, Li Chongji laughed and said, "Hongji has not seen each other for many days, which is impressive. But if you want to reason, you might as well go to Su Qin and Zhang Yi. As the king of a country, I only talk about pros and cons. If you want to say peace, you can cede Shandong. I will agree to peace, otherwise everything will be free from negotiations. How can I be sincere enough?"

When Li Chongji's conditions were released, Liu Hongji's fear changed. He did not say so many empty words, and pointed his sword straight to his heart. At the same time as Li Chongji, of course, it was really unnecessary for an emperor to argue with a foreign envoy to be red-faced.

Liu Hongji heard this and said, "Shandong is not the land of the Great Zhao. If your Majesty wants the whole of Shandong in one sentence, will you have a little too much appetite?"

Pei Ju retorted: "But Shandong is not the territory of Li Tang. Didn't Tang Duke say that he would stand with His Majesty in the east and west before? So I dare to ask, is Shandong in the east or west?"

"You." Liu Hongji was speechless for a moment. Pei Ju was really an old fox. He killed someone without blood. He stabbed him at the critical moment.

Liu Hongji did not say anything and was brewing a remark. Liu Zheng met Liu Hongji and couldn't speak, but slapped the table and said, "Your King Zhao, you are too much. You were just a bandit back then. If you hadn't been tolerated by Tang, how could you have today? You are not missing your old kindness and repay your kindness with grievances."

"Rareless. My emperor can also tolerate your disrespect for your words," Ji Chuan stood up angrily and said to Li Chongjiu, "Your Majesty, this person is arrogant, begs to kill him out of the palace."

Liu Zhenghui sneered: "Yes, what can I say? When King Zhao had not become emperor, he asked me to come to Lord Tang to say hello. I am also half of your elder. Can't I say it?"

Li Chongjiu said: "I have only heard of blood relationships and teachers' kindness, but I have never heard of matchmakers as the leader. However, the King of Tang had the kindness of promotion to me at the beginning, but since then he humiliated me in Jinyang Palace and took action to harm me. I have long broken my kindness with him. Old friends say, how can I repay my kindness with kindness with kindness? "

"You rely on your seniority and rely on your seniority to be a good person. I hate you the most. You are about to be killed, but the two countries will not kill the envoys, so I will spare your life. The person who comes to me will beat me up with a stick."

"You dare!" Liu Zhenghui was furious.

"Call out the Youjing Gate to me."

After Li Chongjiu finished speaking, the Hu Ben guards outside the hall picked up the stick and entered, and raised it and beat it. Liu Zhenghui was beaten to death and his hair was knocked down.

"Your Majesty, I beg you not to do this, as this will harm the friendship between the two countries."

Li Chongji looked at Liu Hongji and said, "Liu Zheng will be rude. I am a little bit of punishment. Hongji, you have not offended me, don't worry, just go back and reply to Mr. Tang. I will take it in Shandong. If he is really sincere in peace, just follow the two things I said. I will not only agree, but also stop the war against the Tang State, but also release the water ban in Chang'an."

Liu Hongji said with a faint expression: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for saying that my lord will definitely not give me the land of Shandong. I might as well say that the Tang army in Shandong has tens of thousands of heroes. The State of Zhao will not say that it will be a matter of five or five. Of course, unless Your Majesty is willing to lead the main force and go south from Youjing to fight. But what would the Turks and Goguryeo think about it? My lord will not sit idly by and watch Shandong be captured by the Zhao army."
