Turbulent Times Chapter 1717: The meeting between Wang Junlin and Li Shimin
Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled look on his face.
But Wang Junlin didn't explain, and he couldn't explain, because excluding his identity as the person who traveled through time, it was really incomprehensible for him to meet Li Shimin alone under such circumstances.
Wang Junlin said again: "Wuji, you tell Li Shimin that at noon tomorrow, a tent will be erected five hundred paces outside Chang'an City. I will only bring one person and wait for him there. When I meet him, I can fulfill his wish. You tell him, I only give him one chance for Xuan Ba's sake, and after tomorrow, there will be no more chances."
Changsun Wuji took a deep breath, and then remembered the somewhat stupid man whom he hadn't remembered for a while.
When he met Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and Li Xuanba brothers, he thought he could see through the four brothers at a glance, and he believed that Li Shimin was the real son of heaven, Li Jiancheng was a good minister as a civil servant, and Li Yuanji Just a villain with high eyesight and low hands.
As for Li Xuanba, he has never caught his eye, because he is a mentally handicapped fool with extraordinary physical talent but mental problems.
But he didn't want to, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuangui didn't miss him, and he missed Li Shimin and Li Xuanba.
The reason why he missed these two people was related to Wang Junlin.
And he didn't expect that Li Xuanba was so important in Wang Junlin's eyes that he could spare Li Shimin's life for Li Xuanba's sake.
Eldest grandson Wuji thinks that he is unparalleled in resourcefulness. In the world, only Li Shimin, Wang Junlin, and Li Jing can compare with him. Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others are all inferior to him, but he doesn't know what he wants. wrong.
But he can't be blamed, because Wang Junlin is an anomaly, a person who shouldn't appear in this world.
Even, if it wasn't for Wang Junlin's anomaly, he would have seen it very accurately. Li Shimin was indeed the Son of Heaven, and Li Xuanba was indeed a mentally handicapped child with extraordinary physical talent.
……
……
Changsun Wuji went out of Da'an Kingdom's camp alone, rode his horse for a long distance, turned around, took a look, and still had a lot of doubts in his heart.
And after being alone at this time, the disappointment on his face was completely revealed.
When he saw Wang Junlin just now, he euphemistically expressed his desire to be loyal to Wang Junlin, but Wang Junlin never took up the words, let alone showed the slightest joy or valued his talent.
This is not a big blow to Sun Wuji, who thinks he has the talent of a prime minister.
Sighing, Changsun Wuji, full of disappointment, rode his horse slowly to the foot of Chang'an city. A very large bamboo basket fell from the top of the city. Changsun Wuji climbed up and let the soldiers on the top of the city slow him down Slowly pulled up.
He also left the city like this when he left the city before, but he sat cross-legged on the bamboo basket, paying great attention to his image as a prime minister, but now he is sitting on the bamboo basket again, but he doesn't care about it anymore .
For a proud person, an extremely proud person, the most uncomfortable thing for him is to be looked down upon by others, and he is the number one person in the world today.
Li Shimin did not wait in the palace in the city, but waited in the attic at the top of the city. At this time, he was surprised to see Changsun Wuji looking a little bit out of his wits.
For many years, he had never seen Changsun Wuji like this.
"Could it be that Wang Junlin is unwilling to accept Changsun Wuji?" Li Shimin thought to himself, frowning tightly. One of the gifts he gave to Wang Junlin, but if Wang Junlin didn't like this gift, what else could he exchange with Wang Junlin.
In the attic at the top of the city, Changsun Wuji suppressed the disappointment on his face, and truthfully relayed Wang Junlin's meaning to Li Shimin.
"What?" A general next to him was startled, and immediately said angrily: "Your Majesty, Wang Junlin is really uneasy and kind, and wants to trap and kill His Majesty. Your Majesty must not go out of the city alone to meet him."
Li Shimin thought for a while, but shook his head, and said: "My brother Xuan Ba was mentioned in Wang Junlin's words, and Wang Junlin has established an image of promise to the world for many years. With the current situation, there is no need for him to continue deception."
"Your Majesty, how can you be sure of this? This is not a trivial matter. Once you make a mistake in your judgment, Your Majesty will fall into Wang Junlin's hands." A general said anxiously.
"How bad can the current situation be?" Li Shimin sighed, seeing the anxiety and worry of all the generals, he was also a little relieved. All the civil servants, including the trusted right-hand man, are already thinking about going home, thinking about how to survive, but the military generals I have trained over the years are still loyal to me, eh! Maybe except for Chai Shao... As for the national teachers, the relationship is based on mutual use.
Chai Shao remained silent from the beginning to the end. At this moment, he felt Li Shimin's eyes that seemed to glance casually. However, His Majesty might as well send someone to set up the meeting tent outside the city, lest Wang Junlin let people tamper with the tent."
Li Shimin thought for a while, nodded slightly, and said: "The general is right, the tent where I meet Wang Junlin will be set up by the general."
Chai Shao bowed to accept the order and left.
Li Shimin waved everyone away again, leaving only Li Changfeng, the chief officer of the Dark Eagle Guard, and asked in a low voice: "Have you found the national teacher?"
Li Changfeng quickly whispered: "Your Majesty, all the people in the city have been searched, and the national teacher has not been found. I think the national teacher has disguised himself as a soldier and is hiding in a big house in the city.
Battle or on top of a city somewhere. "
"Ah! I still wonder if the national teacher can help me escape from death, but I don't want the national teacher to abandon me." When Li Shimin said this, his voice was deliberately amplified.
Because he knew that the No. 1 puppet had great powers, but Li Shimin never told anyone that he could really get two gifts from Wang Junlin in exchange for a way out. The important thing is, after all, this kind of thing has been done once, and that time, it gave him a three-year buffer time in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise he might have been wiped out by Wang Junlin three years ago.
However, No. 1 was besieged and killed by Li Shimin's army once, so how could he be fooled for the second time and be unprepared.
So, since yesterday's defeat in the field battle outside the city, No. 1 puppet has not appeared again.
But thinking about the current situation, it is impossible for the national teacher to escape, but I don't know where the national teacher is hiding.
……
……
The gate of Chang'an City was opened, and a group of Tang troops walked out of the city, pulling five large trucks, measured the distance of 500 steps very carefully and accurately outside Chang'an City, found a flat ground, and built a solitary yellow imperial palace. account.
When the spacious tent was set up, the soldiers responsible for setting up the tent drove away one by one with empty cars.
In the distance, Shen Guoer personally stared at this side with a telescope, but she was a little worried, and asked the subordinates with the best eyes: "Have you seen clearly, is Tang Ren in the tent?" Laying an ambush?"
Several subordinates shook their heads one after another and said, "My lord, there are sixty Tang soldiers who built the tent. After the tent was built, all sixty Tang soldiers have gone back, and there is no one in the tent."
Shen Guoer nodded, and thought that Nie Xiaoyu would follow His Majesty there, even if the Tang country's national teacher, whom His Majesty called No. 1, appeared, His Majesty would be fine.
………
………
Da'an Kingdom's army camp was wide open, two horsemen came out leisurely, the leader was a man with a white dragon robe and a wide band, with a leisurely attitude, it was Wang Junlin, and behind him, Nie Xiaoyu followed silently, and the two went straight to Chang'an The big yellow tent outside the city.
At the same time, the south gate of Chang'an City also opened, and two riders stepped out of it, watching Wang Junlin and his party from a distance, and slowly walked towards the tent.
Contrary to Wang Junlin's expectations, the person behind Li Shimin is also a woman, and she is a young woman around twenty-six or seventeen years old. Dagui's house.
"This woman is somewhat similar to Li Shimin. Could it be Li Shimin's younger sister, Li Yuan's daughter?"
Wang Junlin thought to himself, but then his expression suddenly changed.
"Yes! Although I don't know which one of Li Yuan's many daughters, but I think this girl has a good relationship with Li Xuanba back then, and even took good care of him back then."
"Li Shimin wants to play the emotional card, it can be said that he is exhausting all means, just so that I can let him live."
"He doesn't know, I never thought of killing him."
With a slightly emotional expression, Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu had already arrived at the big yellow tent, and they lifted the tent and entered without hesitation.
It is impossible for the tent to be empty. There are tables, fruits, tea, and wine, and there are even luxurious woolen blankets on the ground. The previous team of Tang Jun pushed three carts out of the city to set up tents, obviously not just pulling tents.
Not long after, Li Shimin and his sister lifted the curtain and entered. Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu were already sitting cross-legged behind a low carpeted table, tasting the fruits on the table.
Seeing Li Shimin's brother and sister coming in, Wang Junlin looked up at them, and said with a smile, "Shimin, it's been ten years or so, so don't come here without any problems."
Seeing Wang Junlin's expression and style, Li Shimin was secretly relieved.
"I've seen Brother Junlin." Li Shimin suppressed the fluctuation in his heart, kept a calm face, and slightly hugged Wang Junlin, but the woman behind him knelt down and saluted Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu, saying: " Concubine Li Xiuning pays homage to His Majesty."
Wang Junlin waved his hand to signal him to get up, and said with a smile, "So it's Princess Xiuning, but General Chai's wife."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Xiuning got up, stood obediently behind Li Shimin, and said, "My concubine's husband is Chai Shao."
While talking, Li Xiuning picked up the teapot behind the table and started making tea for Wang Junlin and Li Shimin.
As for Li Shimin, who was already sitting opposite Wang Junlin, he carefully sized Nie Xiaoyu a few times in the process, secretly judging the relationship between Nie Xiaoyu and Wang Junlin from the position between them, and thus judged the relationship between Nie Xiaoyu and Wang Junlin. Xiaoyu's apprentice Li Xuanba's position in Wang Junlin's heart.
This is not the first time he met Nie Xiaoyu. Back then, Nie Xiaoyu followed Wang Junlin to meet Li Yuan. At that time, he abducted Li Xuanba and cured Li Xuanba. Pa has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Seeing that Wang Junlin has been silent, just looking at Li Xiuning playfully, knowing that Wang Junlin has seen through his plans, Li Shimin sighed inwardly, thinking that he came to beg for help after all, and said yes It's not too much for the other party to be a prisoner, so they can't hold it anymore.
So, he took the initiative to sigh quietly, and said: "Brother Junlin should know that among our brothers, Xuanba had the best relationship with me back then, and Xiuning took good care of Xuanba's daily life back then. "
Wang Junlin said with a smile: "Actually, you don't need to say these things, and you don't need to let Princess Xiuning go out of the city to meet me today. I promised Xuanba a long time ago that I will let you live."
Listening to Wang Junlin saying this so casually
In a word, Li Shimin was so happy that he almost suspected that he was dreaming.
At this moment, Li Shimin's imperial airs could no longer be maintained, he stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Junlin, and said, "Thank you for your mercy. Shimin can swear to God that he will never set foot in Da'an again in his lifetime .”
Li Xiuning also hurriedly followed her brother to salute Wang Junlin again.
Looking at Li Shimin saluting to him, Wang Junlin still felt a little strangely refreshed, he waved his hands and said with a smile: "You two don't need to thank me, this is just something I promised Xuan Ba."
Naturally, Li Shimin would not be so naive, so after he got up, he asked again: "What request does Your Majesty have, you can tell me what you want."
It is easy to talk to the top smart people in the world, Wang Junlin said: "Two things."
Li Shimin looked serious, but did not say anything, waiting for Wang Junlin to continue.
"Pack up that national teacher of your Tang country, and give it to me again." When Wang Junlin said this, an astonishing killing intent flashed in his eyes, which made Li Shimin and his brother and sister feel a chill in their hearts. .
But Li Shimin smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty, Shimin dare not hide the truth. That person has disappeared since the end of the battle outside the city yesterday. The news I got is that he may be hiding among the defenders in the city, but I I'm afraid I won't be able to find it in a while, after all, there are more than 700,000 people in Chang'an City."
When he said these words, Li Shimin was a little uneasy.
Wang Junlin frowned, but thinking about No. 1's urine and ability, this was expected, not to mention that Li Shimin sent him once with a large army, how could this second time be? defenseless.
So, Wang Junlin thought for a while, and said: "The second thing, you can continue to lead the 100,000 troops under your command to leave Chang'an City, but you must go to the predetermined route and place."
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and he was ecstatic again. He thought that Wang Junlin would just let him go alone. It was already the limit for him to bring hundreds of confidants with him. The army left.
As his mind turned, Li Shimin's breathing was a little short, his eyes flashed, and he said: "Your Majesty wants me to go to the Western Regions and the Western Turks and Zhaowu Kingdom to conquer the country. Don't worry, Your Majesty. No matter how much territory is conquered in the Western Regions, Da'an will be the suzerain for generations."
But Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "I have my own arrangements for the Western Regions, and the people of the world have other places to fight."
Li Shimin was stunned again, thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty wants me to go to Tianzhu."
Wang Junlin still shook his head and said, "No, I want you to go overseas."
"Overseas?" Li Shimin was a little disappointed. He thought that Wang Junlin wanted him to be a pirate. Although there were many islands in the sea, how could they compare with the huge land.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely open up territory for Your Majesty on the sea, and make all the islands in the sea belong to the Da'an Kingdom." Although he was a little disappointed in his heart, Li Shimin did not dare to show the slightest bit on his face.
Of course Wang Junlin would not believe Li Shimin's words that no matter what country he conquered, he would belong to the Da'an Kingdom. He even knew that as long as there were any changes in the Da'an Kingdom, Li Shimin would definitely make a comeback if he had the chance.
"It's not overseas islands, but on the other side of the sea there is a continent that is no smaller than my Da'an country, the western regions, and even Tianzhu and other southern countries combined." Wang Junlin finally said that he would kill Li Shimin. A place of exile.
Li Shimin was taken aback this time, but it was Li Shimin after all, and he quickly regained his composure, saying: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Shimin will definitely not disappoint His Majesty. Whatever country is established, it will be His Majesty's vassal state."
But Wang Junlin said with a smile: "There is no evidence for what you say, why don't you sign it and stamp it with a seal."
Wang Junlin was speaking, and took over the contract that he had prepared long ago from Nie Xiaoyu next to him.
Li Shimin was taken aback again, and he was even more puzzled in his heart. After taking the contract and looking at it, he saw that it was written in great detail. The territory and the country established must respect Huaxia as the country of the suzerain from generation to generation.
Of course Li Shimin didn't dare to refuse, he obediently signed and stamped, and then stamped his own seal.
Of course Wang Junlin knew that the role of this contract was limited, but with this contract, future generations would have a lot to do in the land of South America and North America.
As for the Western Turks and Zhaowu Kingdoms in the Western Regions, Tubo on the plateau, Nanyue Kingdom in the south, and Wa Kingdom in the sea, his group of tiger generals with a strong desire for war will go to conquer them one by one.
………
………
The meeting between the emperors of the two countries started at noon, and it only lasted for an hour before it ended. However, during this period, the soldiers who were waiting not far from the two sides became anxious because they couldn't see anything even with binoculars.
If it weren't for Chai Shao in the Tang army inside Chang'an City and Li Jing outside the city, some generals on both sides would lose their temper and change their minds.
About an hour later, the tent door was finally opened, and Wang Junlin and Li Shimin walked out one after the other with calm expressions, but no superfluous information could be discerned from their faces.
The two sides got on their horses and galloped away. The big tent still existed alone outside Chang'an City. And the fate of those two continents and some people on the other side of the sea.
