Chapter 667 Song Jing's Honey Juice Operation
After pondering for a while, Miao Qi bowed and said slowly: "Back to the emperor, the old minister thinks that neither King Qing nor the second prince is the opponent of the old fox Wanyan Ping. The old minister thinks that no matter who is sent to Khitan, he must appoint a person with rich diplomatic experience to accompany him at all times in preparation for consultation."
this.
It sounds reasonable after saying this for such a big round, but it's all nonsense.
Yao Chong and Song Jing’s eagerness in their eyes can be seen.
Xuanzong listened with relish and nodded in praise, "Yeah, what Miao Aiqing said makes a lot of sense."
Miao Qi was filled with joy, "Haha, you can find a way to do it yourself. I will not offend you anyway. The emperor praised me for being good, that's enough."
Miao Qi did not express his opinion, but his words gave the two a guide to the next round of confrontation.
After hearing the emperor praise Miao Qi, Yao Chong hurriedly bowed and said, "Emperor, Grand Secretary Miao said very well. I think he, Cao Bei, can go on an envoy with King Qing."
"Yeah, not bad," Xuanzong nodded.
Just as he was about to continue talking, Song Jing also spoke.
"I am the Emperor, but I think it's inappropriate."
"oh?"
Xuanzong looked at Song Jing, and Yao Chong was also stunned.
"The emperor, the fifth-rank official, Cao Bei, has been on missions to Khitan for many years, but he is only responsible for delivering letters between the kings of both sides. After all, he is a messenger. If he encounters an emergency, how to make a decision."
Song Jing deliberately pointed out Cao Bei's official title, which undoubtedly meant to tell the emperor that a fifth-rank official had the authority to report and request instructions, and he could not make the decision by himself when encountering problems.
These words completely moved Xuanzong, and he couldn't help but nod.
"Yes, this mission to Khitan is of great importance. Wanyan Ping is willing to repair it with me for generations of Tang Dynasty and extinguish the war forever. There are many terms involved. Cao Bei is indeed not suitable."
After denying Cao Bei, Song Jing undoubtedly had the upper hand.
He took the opportunity to stand up solemnly, "Your Majesty, I recommend one person, and I will definitely take on this important task."
"oh!"
Xuanzong's eyes shone in his eyes and looked at him expectantly.
Miao Qi smiled and looked at Song Jing, looking forward to him, hoping that he would quickly choose a candidate whom he recognized so that he could end this imperial meeting that he felt tormented early.
But Yao Chong suddenly had an ominous premonition, and Song Jing seemed to be prepared.
"Emperor, the old minister recommends Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen is a talented man in the Tang Dynasty. If you retreat to the enemy on the border and pacify Penglai, you will be able to capture it with no effort. I think he will be the one who will go to the Khitan."
After Song Jing finished speaking, Xuanzong suddenly fell silent.
Yes, Shen Buyi is really suitable, but after just returning from Penglai, I planned to marry Princess Zhaoning in a few days. I would like to go to the Khitan again. It will take another few months to come back.
When Yao Chong heard this, he was indeed Shen Buyi and immediately became anxious.
Stand up suddenly.
"Your Majesty, never."
Well, this is in line with Xuanzong's thoughts. He doesn't want his son-in-law to run around outside all day. If he is not careful, his daughter will become a widow, but it will be bad.
However, in front of Song Jing and Miao Qi, he could not act too obvious. He raised his hand and told Yao Chong to continue speaking.
Yao Chong bowed and said, "Emperor, although Shen Buyi is talented and does not care about rules when doing things, he has always done things that are unconventional."
This statement made Xuanzong very much recognize. The method of doing things seems absurd, but the effect is very good, and it is not harmful to take a look at it in the end.
"Chen Buyi once captured and killed the Khitan Kingdom in Chang'an and carefully played Wanyan Yong. He was fighting against his new residence outside the Great Wall. It can be said that Chen Buyi is the enemy of the Khitan country. After he goes, he may encounter many difficulties. If Chen Buyi is not careful in handling it, then the two sides will revive again, which is contrary to the purpose of this mission."
Yes, it's well said.
Xuanzong let out a long sigh.
Yao Chong expressed his concerns. The Khitan Kingdom was like a wolf or a tiger. If he really went to the Khitan, as Yao Chong said, it would be really a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.
Yes, I can't go.
Thinking of this, he nodded slightly.
"Yao Aiqing's words are reasonable, but he is not easy, so he really can't go to the Khitan."
Miao Qi also agreed, "Yes, such a dangerous place, the prince-consort will never go."
Song Jing smiled slightly and continued calmly: "Your Majesty, Rong Bing."
Seeing that he was not giving up, the emperor did not stop him, "Song Aiqing, what else do you have to say?"
"Your Majesty, what Yao Si said is a big mistake!"
Song Jing said something, and there was silence on the scene.
Yao Chong was also stunned.
This is the lice on the bald man's head. It is obvious that I was wrong.
Song Jing bowed and said, "The emperor, the nomadic people in the north, has always respected the strong. At that time, the former emperor Emperor Taizong, and his iron army swept across the northern countries, attacked the northern desert and captured Jie Li Khan alive.
The Turkic country was destroyed by forcibly."
Seeing Song Jing take the example of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin, no one dared to speak at the scene. Song Jing continued, "After the Khan of Jie Li was captured alive, the northern countries immediately surrendered to the feet of our Emperor of Tang, and they respectfully called our Emperor Taizong the throne of the Khan of Heaven."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Yao Chong, "Chen Buyi's own strength, and the Khitan army retreated fifty miles until it retreated overnight. Their worship of Chen Buyi had already penetrated into the bone marrow. At this time, if Chen Buyi went to Khitan, it would not only not cause hatred, but I think it would also be worshipped by them."
this.
this.
It seems to make sense too.
Xuanzong hesitated.
Yao Chong was so angry that he wanted to curse himself. Song Jing, using Emperor Taizong of Tang as an example, no matter whether he was right or not, no one dared to refute this.
You dare to say that it is a life-and-death life if you dare to say that you are not easy to go. If the sheep enters the tiger's mouth, you will deny the status of Emperor Taizong as the Tiankhan.
I don’t dare to give Yao Chong ten heads.
Miao Qi spoke again in the spirit of mixing with others, "What Prime Minister Song said is very true. Although Prince Chen's wife is not as good as Emperor Taizong, it is enough to deal with the Khitan Kingdom. I think it is the most suitable thing for Prince Chen to go."
This gave Song Jing a step and Xuanzong a step.
Although Yao Chong doesn't want to go down this level, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, thought for a long time, finally said slowly: "Transfer my order and let Li Ying enter the Eastern Palace, and be granted the title of Chen Buyi as the second-rank general of the country protection.
With Prince Li Ying, he went on a mission to Khitan."
this.
Song Jing was stunned for a moment.
What kind of honey operation is this?
