Li Shimin put down the words in his hand and said, "You mean if I don't agree to him, he will stop doing the next thing?"

Li Xiaogong thought for a while and said, "Li Zheng didn't say that either."

Li Shimin sighed with emotion, "What would it be if the people in the court came to do this?"

Li Xiaogong whispered: "I am brave. If those who read the books of sages in the court talk about this, there may not be so many benefits, and they will not be able to pay 200,000 yuan a year. After all, they are too gentlemen."

Li Shimin smiled helplessly, "It's too gentleman."

The conversation between the king and his subjects opened up. Li Xiaogong and Li Shimin were brothers on the battlefield and clan relatives.

In addition to Li Shimin's brothers, Li Xiaogong is the one with a good relationship between Li Daozong and Li Shimin.

Li Xiaogong continued: "Although Li Zheng is a shameful thing and has no good reputation, I really want to say that I think Li Zheng can earn 200,000 yuan in the matter between Japan and Goguryeo. If others may not be able to earn this benefit to the court, although it is not a gentleman, it is very real."

After saying that, Li Xiaogong observed Li Shimin's expression and added: "I have made a mistake, Your Majesty, don't blame me."

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "I can agree to share the 50% stake with Li Zheng, but I have a request."

Li Xiaogong bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."

Li Shimin whispered: "If he could earn 200,000 yuan a year from Goguryeo, I will agree."

It's still 200,000 yuan back and forth.

There is no loss for Your Majesty, and it is just a matter of convenience for Li Zheng.

The next day, with the promise of the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese envoy Hirano became much more arrogant.

Li Xiaogong brought Goguryeo's envoy Jin Xun to Jingyang again.

After arriving at the back mountain of Jingyang, Jin Xun saw Li Zheng digging something in the field and asked curiously: "What is Chang'an Ling doing?"

Li Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Some watermelon seedlings are planted in the field. This season, we must dig out all the watermelon seedlings and store them for cultivation."

Jin Xun nodded slightly and said, "It is said that Chang'an Order likes to farm and reclaim land, and now it seems that his reputation is well-deserved."

After saying that, seeing that Li Zheng was still digging the ground, Jin Xun looked at Lee Hyo-gong beside him.

Seeing that both of them were not speaking, Jin Xun bowed and said, "Chang'an Order, I don't know what Chang'an Order is thinking about yesterday."

Li Zheng then stopped and sat down against the tree and said, "I have indeed considered it."

Jin Xun still bent down and asked respectfully: "What's the will of Chang'an order?"

Li Zheng looked at it and said, "As you said, our Tang Dynasty helped you Goguryeo take over Japan, can we divide the country equally together?"

Kim Hoon nodded and said, "That's what I said yesterday."

Li Zheng thought about it and said, "Do you know?

If we, Datang, take down Japan by ourselves, then everything in Japan will belong to us. Don’t you think your conditions are very contradictory?"

No matter whether it is equal or not, Goguryeo cannot compete for the Tang Dynasty.

Even at this moment, we cannot offend the Tang Dynasty.

The incident of Yuan Gai Suwen before made the Tang Dynasty have no good impression of Goguryeo.

This time, the King of Goguryeo also made a special explanation that as long as the Tang Dynasty did not make any excessive demands, Goguryeo could agree.

Lee Zheng looked at Jin Xun and said, "I think you are kind-hearted, we are very good at chatting, and you are not as ignorant as the Japanese."

Kim Hoon nodded repeatedly, "That's natural."

Li Zheng said again: "Since the Han Dynasty, you Goguryeo have been vassal states in our Central Plains. Compared with Goguryeo, I am actually more willing to help you."

Kim Hoon slowly raised his head and looked at Lee Jung and said, "Take it serious?"

Li Zheng nodded vigorously, "That's natural. Our Tang Dynasty also helped you Goguryeo to quell the rebellion of the Yuan Gaisuwen. What do you think?"

Jin Xun let out a long sigh and said with a smile: "I'll feel relieved if I say this."

After saying that, Jin Xun saw Li Zheng's expression that seemed a little dangerous, and asked in a low voice: "What is the danger in Chang'an Order?"

Li Zheng sighed, "Actually, I'm going to tell you that I have difficulties."

Jin Xun said: "What is the difficulty? Can I help Chang'an orders share the worries?"

Li Zheng looked up and said with a sad look on his face, "I don't want to make things difficult for you."

Jin Xun patted his chest and said as if he was taking an oath: "The difficulty of Chang'an Order is the difficulty of the lower part. Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, he is willing to help Chang'an Order share his worries."

Li Zheng looked at him and said, "Take it serious?"

After saying that, Kim Hoon was a little hesitant, but he still said with a thorn in mind: "That's natural."

Li Zheng said, "I won't hide it from you anymore. The Japanese have given us 200,000 yuan a year and asked us not to help you Goguryeo."

Kim Hoon said hesitantly: "Twenty million coins a year?"

Li Zheng nodded and said, "That's right, 200,000 yuan a year. The Japanese said that as long as we don't help you Goguryeo, they will give us 200,000 yuan."

Kim Hoon thought for a moment and stomped his feet and said, "This Japanese are so vicious."

Lee Jung patted Kim Hoon on the shoulder and said, "Yes, this method is very vicious."

With a long sigh, Li Zheng said again: "I did not intend to help the Japanese, but I was not the one who decided on the things in the court alone, right?"

Kim Hoon nodded, “That’s true.”

Li Zheng said again: "You said that the Japanese give us 200,000 yuan a year. Although I am not moved, it is hard to say that other people in the court will be moved. I am afraid that for this little money, there will be some people in the court who advocate sending troops to help Japan."

Kim Hoon's expression began to become entangled.

Li Zheng also looked solemn, "Besides, our Emperor Tang is also a civilized person. He also needs to see the situation in the court, and it cannot be decided by His Majesty alone. It is really difficult to help Goguryeo or Japan at the moment."

Jin Xun took a deep breath and quickly grabbed Li Zheng's hand and said, "Chang'an Order, what should I do?"

Li Zheng pulled back his hand and dusted his sleeves and said, "Actually, there is no way, it's just a little waste of money."

Kim Hoon said nervously: "What's the solution?"

Li Zheng said to Jin Xun with his hands behind his back, "The way is to give Goguryeo a year with 200,000 yuan, and the Tang Dynasty promised not to help Japan, and it would not send troops. There is a saying in Guanzhong that the two evils are added to the lighter, but when the prices of Goguryeo and Japan are the same, the court will naturally be balanced."

Kim Hoon fell silent after hearing this.

Turning back, Li Zheng said with a serious look on his face: "In terms of grades, I should call you Brother Jin."

Kim Hoon saluted again and said, "I can't afford it now."

Li Zheng said again: "You and I hit it off at first sight. There is only these I can help you, and you can only make your own decisions."
