Not long after, a young eunuch rushed in and reported: "Your Majesty, the peace negotiation mission has entered the palace, and the eldest grandson will arrive soon."
The courtiers all looked forward to it.
After a while, Changsun Wuji walked into the Tai Chi Hall.
He stepped forward, and after seeing the ceremony, he said loudly: "Minister, Changsun Wuji was ordered to go to Hexi to negotiate with Tubo. Fortunately, he did not disgrace his order. He has successfully negotiated peace with Tubo and signed a contract."
With that said, he took out the contract.
Gao Chen hurriedly picked it up and handed it to Li Er.
After Li Er read it, it was exactly the same as the contract that Chen Chu had drawn up at the beginning.
So he pressed it down.
The ministers were baffled.
Shouldn't it be announced to the world about such things as negotiating a peace?
Even if you don't tell the world, at least tell me to wait.
Why is there no movement without making a sound?
Everyone is a little confused.
And the reason for all this is not difficult to guess.
It is because Li Er wants to save face.
After all, it would be too embarrassing for Chen Chu to speak out about the terms of the peace talks.
Changsun Wuji was also worried about being called a traitor again, so he simply pretended to be crazy and stupid, without saying a word.
But the courtiers couldn't help it.
Wang Gui scratched his head, stared at Changsun Wuji, and asked: "Master Changsun, as the head of the peace talks with Tubo, you want to be very clear about the conditions of the peace talks?"
Changsun Wuji's complexion changed, and he prevaricated: "That's natural!"
Wang Gui asked loudly: "Please tell me, Mr. Changsun, what have you gained from this peace negotiation with Tubo?"
"That's right, Master Changsun, tell me how much advantage our Great Tang has taken!"
"Don't be so secretive, tell me quickly!"
"My lord grandson, why do you look bad? Could it be that the horses are tired?"
"My lord grandson, speak up..."
Everyone couldn't help but urged.
……
Chapter 296
No matter how everyone urged him, Changsun Wuji didn't say a word.
He has already made up his mind, and he will not say anything if he is killed.
If you have the ability, ask your majesty!
Wang Gui poked Changsun Wuji's arm.
pat.
A piece of paper fell to the ground.
Someone has sharp eyes and hastily picked it up.
The man took it out and read it aloud.
"Peace terms!"
"Article [-], Tubo and the Tang Dynasty negotiated peace, each other as brothers, and Tubo as the younger brother."
"Second, Tubo will take out [-] war horses and [-] cattle and sheep as bargaining chips for peace negotiations."
"Article [-], Tubo and Datang trade, exchange needs, businessmen from the two countries can go to each other's territory to do business."
"Article [-], the two countries guarantee that they will not violate the territory again."
When the official finished reading, the audience was silent and silent.
This is the unstamped contract that Changsun Wuji carried with him, which is exactly the same as the one on Li's second hand.
Under his nervousness, he fell to the ground and was picked up by someone.
Changsun Wuji was also dumbfounded.
By the time he realized it, the official had already finished reading.
Everyone stared at Changsun Wuji in disbelief.
Then, these gazes all turned into anger.
"Humph!"
I don't know who snorted coldly.
Wang Gui was the first to explode. He pointed at Changsun Wuji and said angrily, "Master Changsun, you...how could you do such a thing? Take advantage of your advantages, but look at the conditions of your peace negotiation, except for the second clause, the rest are all innocuous... You, what is the difference between you and a traitor!"
In a hurry, Wang Gui directly said that Changsun Wuji was betraying the country.
Others dare not.
How dare Wang Gui.
Wang Gui is Situ, equal to Changsun Wuji's Sikong.
The most important thing is that behind Wang Gui, there are many civil servants.
Therefore, he is not afraid of Changsun Wuji at all.
As soon as Wang Gui spoke, the others naturally had no scruples.
"Master Changsun, you can't forget that you are an official of the Tang Dynasty just because your son Changsun Chong married a princess of Tubo?"
"My lord, you let us down so much!"
"It just doesn't make sense!"
"This move is like betraying the country!"
"Traitor!"
The ministers cursed at one another.
Changsun Wuji was extremely wronged.
In a hurry, he opened his mouth and said loudly, "It's Chen..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Li Er coughing lightly on the dragon chair.
Changsun Wuji looked up, just in time to meet Li Er's meaningful smile.
Changsun Wuji quickly shut up.
He hastily bowed his head and said: "Yes, the old man has wronged the Emperor's grace and the Tang Dynasty, please His Majesty punish him."
The ministers immediately said: "It must be punished!"
"Such traitorous acts must be punished!"
"Your Majesty, please punish Elder Sun for the crime of dereliction of duty!"
"Your Majesty, please assign the eldest grandson to Lingnan!"
These guys are more ruthless than the other.
boom.
Li Eryi clapped the table and said loudly: "Okay, I already know about this matter... This matter is not to blame for the auxiliary machine. It is actually because Tubo has a strong army in recent years, and our Tang Dynasty has been hit by disasters one after another, and the treasury is not sufficient. Because of this, I accepted such a compromised condition, and I am also at fault for this matter..."
"No, Your Majesty, you are not at fault, it is all the fault of Master Changsun!" Wang Gui said loudly, "As the head of the peace negotiation mission, Master Changsun certainly did nothing and directly accepted the conditions of the Tubo people. This kind of behavior is traitorous... ..."
Wang Gui is really courageous.
Li Er's face darkened: "Okay, Wang Aiqing, I have already said it, and I am also responsible for this matter...retire from the court."
Li Er got up and walked back without stopping.
The ministers looked at each other.
But Changsun Wuji ran away in despair.
He worried that if he didn't run again, he would be beaten to death.
……
Li Er returned to Ganlu Hall.
I couldn't help feeling scared for a while.
"These courtiers, oh..."
"If the auxiliary machine tells the truth, I'm afraid these guys will still say that I am a foolish king."
"The auxiliary machine is really wronged!"
Li Er also felt the grievance of Changsun Wuji.
He beckoned, called Gao Chen, and said, "Gao Chen, go to the Duke of Qi's mansion and tell Changsun Wuji that he is ill. I will allow him to rest at home for a while without going to court..."
Gao Chen immediately took the order and left.
……
The Duke of Qi.
boom.
boom.
Several valuable porcelain bottles were directly smashed to the ground by Changsun Wuji.
The servants were so frightened that they trembled outside, not daring to get involved.
Changsun Wuji roared furiously: "It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable...Old man, this old man has borne everything by himself!"
"Wei Zheng!"
"Li Jing!"
"Cheng Yaojin!"
"You guys are so shameless!"
Changsun Wuji has always been shrewd, and he is a rare smart person in the court.
But today outside Chang'an City, he was eager to return to his command, when Cheng Yaojin and others slipped away, he didn't react.
After the Tai Chi Hall, he was pointed at his nose and scolded before he realized that Wei Zheng and the others had thrown all the wrapping to himself.
Back then, Li Er sent a total of four important ministers to Hexi, just to distract everyone and attract anger.
Who would have thought that Wei Zheng and the others, like human beings, broke ahead of time.
In the end, it was Changsun Wuji who bore all the anger.
Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji was even more furious.
He went on and started smashing things.
The butler walked in and whispered, "Master, someone is coming from the palace!"
Changsun Wuji said angrily: "It doesn't matter who comes, even if His Majesty has come down, I will ask him to give an explanation. It's too deceiving, it's really deceiving..."
He was out of breath.
"Master Changsun, Your Majesty has an order for you." A voice came from the door.
Changsun Wuji looked up and saw that it was Gao Chen.
He asked with a smile on his face, "I don't know what orders your Majesty has to give me?"
Gao Chen said with a smile: "My lord, your majesty said that he already knew about your illness, and asked you to rest at home during this period of time, and you must not get angry, so you don't have to go to the palace to be on duty. You don’t have to participate either…”
