Chapter 127: People are thinner than yellow flowers

Fu Ni was so angry that his whole body trembled and said, "If I promise you, I will be the eternal sinner of Tuyuhun."

Li Zheng said again: "You did this to save Tuyuhun's national fortune. Why are you a sinner? You are a veteran of Tuyuhun! With the assistance of our Tang Dynasty, you can not only be able to recover for a long time and have enough food and clothing after you defeated Tubo. What a great thing."

Fu Ni said, "Marquis of the County, your requests are too much more than the other. You are taking advantage of others' danger and forgive me for not being able to agree."

Li Zheng said innocently: "Are my conditions too much? I think it's very good."

Turning his head to look at Li Chongyi and Li Ke, Li Zheng asked the two: "Are my conditions really too much?"

Li Ke and Li Chongyi both shook their heads.

How could this objection be so strong that Tuyuhun can be held tightly and stand in the same position, even the officials of the Ministry of Rites on the side agree with Li Zheng very much.

Li Chongyi smiled and said, "Our conditions are already very fair. How could our great Tang Dynasty do things that will take advantage of others' danger? This is not what a gentleman does. What the Marquis of Jingyang County mentioned is that our Tang Dynasty adheres to the position of protecting oneself and has no intention of putting insults on you."

Li Ke nodded vigorously.

Seeing Fu Ni looked anxious.

Li Zheng immediately said, "I am talking about the third condition. Regardless of whether you Tuyuhun defeated Tubo or not, your Tuyuhun monarch and Fu Yun Khan will resign from his position as monarch and regard my Emperor Tang as the Khan of Heaven. Of course, this is your original intention. I will give you a condition for free."

"It's both losing money and giving up the land!" Fu Ni shouted: "Li Zheng! You are delusional. If Tuyuhun really does this, what is the fate of Tuyuhun? Believe it or not, we will send troops to attack Liangzhou again. As long as you take Liangzhou, I see what you should do in the Tang Dynasty?!"

Li Zheng smiled for a while and said, "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive. You can think twice about this. Could it be that you don't want to form an alliance, but also start a war against our Tang Dynasty? Does the monarchs of Tuyuhun think so?"

As soon as Fu Ni heard of the king, he was immediately discouraged.

It was both a loss of money and arbitrage, and the Tang Dynasty wanted to drive Tuyuhun to the wasteland in the western desert.

Li Ke interrupted with a stern face and said, "If you don't agree, we, the Tang Dynasty, will join forces with Tubo to get your territory together, and there is no big difference for us."

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng hurriedly said, "Your Highness, King of Shu! Let's discuss state affairs. How can you speak like this? Even if it's our hearts, you can't just say it. What should you do if you scare others?"

“…”

Li Zheng turned around and said to Fu Ni, "Well, Brother Fu, can you pretend that you didn't hear what you said to His Highness the King of Shu just said?"

Fu Ni remained silent, his face looked angry and hesitant, which was extremely complicated.

Li Ke's understatement touched Fu Ni's most deadly weakness.

The situation is stronger than that of others, and Tuyuhun is now an important juncture for life and death.

The Tubo army was eroding the territory of Tuyuhun bit by bit. Now Tubo is growing stronger and stronger, and launching an attack when Tuyuhun was the weakest.

He bit Tuyuhun in one bite and dripped blood.

Under such circumstances, if Li Zheng's conditions were rejected, the Tang Dynasty would definitely stand on the side of Tubo.

According to the current situation, the Tang Dynasty was on the side of Tubo, which was obviously a more cost-effective choice for the Tang Dynasty.

We cannot ignore the overall situation, if we flatly reject Li Zheng's conditions.

Tuyuhun may really be out of the way.

Fu Ni whispered: "Can you give me some days to consider?"

Li Zheng said with a smile on his face: "We are not in a hurry. Brother Fu can think carefully and never be impulsive."

Li Chongyi also understood the general direction of Li Zheng’s negotiations.

The Tang Dynasty did not need to send out a soldier or a soldier, and he had to let him agree.

It is true that at this time, Fu Ni was not qualified to negotiate the conditions.

He stood up with officials from the Ministry of Rites, and Li Chongyi said, "It's getting late, so let's go here first and wait for your Tuyuhun messenger to decide another day. Let's talk about the next thing slowly."

Fu Ni took his Tuyuhun messenger away.

Lu Dongzan also left with his entourage.

Li Zheng said sadly: "You said that Fu Ni is still old and shouldn't be angry to death."

Li Chongyi smiled bitterly, "Why, you, Li Zheng, are you starting to feel guilty now?"

"That's not. I just think that if he was anxious by the Tuyuhun situation, it would have nothing to do with me, but if he was angry with me, wouldn't I have to bear my life?"

Li Chongyi smiled again and said, "Don't worry, I don't think he will be killed by you in a few words."

Li Zheng sighed: "I see this man's Yin Tang's black face and his face is bloodless. I'm afraid he won't live long. Maybe he will die suddenly when he returns to Tuyuhun. In this way, I can be considered a contribution to the Tang Dynasty. I believe that Your Majesty will not be stingy with me for rewards."

Li Chongyi nodded, "Now it seems that your negotiations are very clever and much better than I expected before, I admire you."

Li Zheng also smiled and said, "Brother Chongyi praised me, so I'm just smart. If I really face a thousand troops, I might be the first to run away. Yes! I hate killing and bleeding the most."

Li Chongyi was a little more pertinent to Li Zheng, "I didn't expect you to have a compassionate heart, so I will leave the next thing to our Ministry of Rites. I know what to do."

Looking at the sky, Li Zheng said again: "What do you think Your Majesty will reward me? There is no need to be an official position. I don't think I am a good official."

"I don't want it too much, and I don't want to make things difficult for Your Majesty. I'll give me tens of thousands of stagnants of silver."

Upon hearing this, Li Chongyi stared at Li Zheng, "I heard that you Jingyang is very rich."

Li Zheng cleared his throat and said, "Rumors are all rumors. Our Jingyang County has always been a poor county in the Tang Dynasty."

"It's said that my life is very hard. Brother Chongyi will tell you, look at His Royal Highness, who has been eating and drinking for so many days at my house. He is hungry and full, and he can't eat well. Now he is thinner than Huanghua."

Li Chongyi was puzzled: "People are thinner than yellow flowers?"

"Yes." Li Zheng pointed to Li Tai, who was standing in the distance and expressionlessly, and said, "Look, His Highness the King of Wei has lost weight. How unforgivable is this."

Li Tai stomped his feet and turned around and left.

The wind whistled past, blowing the weeds on the ground.

Li Chongyi glanced at Li Tai's sad back and left Jingyang with officials from the Ministry of Personnel.

As he walked along, Li Chongyi secretly affirmed that Li Zhengming was in Chang'an, and it seemed that he never was proud.
