"The Western Turks, Tuyuhun, and Tubo are barbarians from outside the region. I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Han family is orthodox. How can I cooperate with them?"

Li Shimin snorted coldly and frowned.

Wang Gui thought Li Shimin rejected the proposal, but after taking a look at Li Shimin's face, he suddenly understood. He immediately stood upright, raised his hands to Li Shimin and said:"Your Majesty, the ancients said Extraordinary times do extraordinary things. The traitor Li Changqing wants to steal the country of the Tang Dynasty. We are just asking for help from other countries. Moreover, these countries have good relations with the Tang Dynasty, so it is not a bad idea to ask them for help."

Wang Gui was betting. He was betting that Li Shimin wanted to do this. He thought Li Shimin was refusing at first, but then he understood one thing.

Li Shimin's tone was not absolute, which meant that he was moved, but it was just because of the The emperor's face meant that he couldn't just agree to it directly. He, as a minister, needed to"persuad" him repeatedly. After all, this was not a glorious thing, so he had to become this"direct minister".

"So...then just follow what you said. Hearing this ,

Li Shimin seemed to hesitate for a while before agreeing.

He then looked at Wang Gui and said,"I order you to be the Angel of the Tang Dynasty and represent the Tang Dynasty to fight against the Western Turks, Tuyuhun and Tubo." Negotiate, if you can survive this crisis and the position of Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty is still vacant, I will grant it to you. Wang

Gui was overjoyed, and just as he was about to bow his head and thank him, he heard Li Shimin say coldly:"If it doesn't work out, then you don't have to come back.""

Li Shimin's words suppressed the joy that had just risen in Wang Gui's heart. He even felt that his calves were getting weak.

After struggling for a while, Wang Gui handed over his hand and said,"I will do my best! Just Your Majesty... What is the maximum bottom line we can accept?"

What about making good friends with the countries in the Western Regions? That's all bullshit. If the Tang Dynasty didn't give those greedy Yi people enough benefits, how could they send troops to confront Li Changqing?

Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and his tone lowered slightly:" If gold, silver, beauties, and weapons are not enough, then there is only... land."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Gui was shocked and looked at Li Shimin in shock, his eyes full of disbelief.

Asking the Yi tribe... to cede territory for help?

This will bring eternal infamy! Once word spreads, Both he and Li Shimin will be despised by countless Han people! Li Shimin's throne will not be guaranteed in an instant!

"I will take back the land I gave them in the future! You just need to understand that the top priority now is to solve the scourge of Li Changqing!"

Li Shimin felt an unknown fire in his heart when he saw Wang Gui's strange eyes, and his voice became cold again.

Wang Gui's eyes were complicated, and he sighed in his heart and said: I'm sorry." After that, he resigned.

After Wang Gui left, Li Shimin drove away the guards and eunuchs, and started smashing things in the Tai Chi Hall, as if he wanted to vent all the anger in his heart.

He could convince others with that reason, but he couldn't convince himself!

No matter how many excuses and reasons he makes, it can't change the fact that he seeks help from foreign barbarians, and with the greedy character of those barbarians, it is inevitable that he will ask for land!

Li Shimin is so arrogant. His ambition is to unify the world and bring all the barbarians to the court. But Li Changqing has done this, but he is going in the opposite direction!

"Li Changqing! all because of you! You are the sinner of the Tang Dynasty, you... deserve to die!"

At the end of his venting, Li Shimin blamed all his resentment and anger on Li Changqing, and his hatred for the latter deepened.

People are like this. They like to leave their faults to others to reduce their own guilt..But some facts cannot be changed

……

Wang Gui soon left Chang'an secretly. This matter was related to his wealth and life, so he did not dare to delay at all. The first place he went to was the Western Turks.

The Khan of the Western Turks was called Nili Khan. When he heard that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty had sent an envoy, he was shocked and put down his affairs to meet with Wang Gui.

Wang Zhangzhong

"I have seen Nili Khan."

After being brought in by the guards, Wang Gui saluted Nili Khan who was sitting on the throne.

Nili Khan smiled heroically when he saw this and said:"It is an honor for my royal court to have an angel come to my court. I have admired the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Changqing, for a long time. I wonder why the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty sent an angel to my court."

The countries in the Western Regions don't understand the politics of the Tang Dynasty. In them, the king is the biggest, and there is no such thing as an emperor.

In addition, Li Changqing conquered the barbarians and promoted the power of the Tang Dynasty. Countries such as the Western Turks thought that Li Changqing, the King of Wu, was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

After hearing Nili Khan's words, Wang Gui's face turned a little ugly and said:"We, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, are not King Wu.……"

He gave Nili Khan a good explanation of the political structure of the Tang Dynasty.

Hearing that Wang Gui was not sent by Li Changqing, Nili Khan's interest was obviously much less, and he said calmly:"What is the purpose of the messenger? My time is limited."

Such obvious differential treatment made Wang Gui feel angry. But he still smiled and said:"It's like this. King Wu Li Changqing is not a member of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. Now he has rebelled and rebelled, proclaimed himself emperor, and competed for power with me, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

I am following your majesty's order to ask Nili Khan to send troops to attack The traitor Li Changqing."

After hearing Wang Gui's words, Nili Khan looked at him with strange eyes and laughed angrily:"What does your struggle for power within the Tang Dynasty have to do with this Khan? Even if I want to help, I will only help King Wu Li Changqing. , you asked me to send troops to attack King Wu?"

All the countries in the Western Regions feared Li Changqing like a tiger, and they all bowed to him, who dared to go against him?

Nili Khan snorted coldly, and then asked the guards to drive Wang Gui out.

Wang Gui guessed that Nili Khan would answer like this, so he did not panic, but said calmly:"Nili Khan misunderstood, your Majesty did not mean to directly let your country fight with King Wu's army, but to let your country Send troops to attack the traitor Li Changqing's Beijing.

Now King Wu's 410,000-strong army has all counterattacked the Central Plains. The border gate of Beijing is empty, with only tens of thousands of soldiers stationed there. If Nili Khan counterattacks at this time, he will be able to easily conquer it!" -
