    Wei Zheng¡¯s words are actually very simple. Since you enjoy the benefits of being an emperor, you must bear the hard work of being an emperor.  Risks and benefits coexist. If Yunhao were here, he would be stunned.  Wei Zheng, more than 2,000 years ago, gave the most exquisite explanation of the philosophical ideas studied by many masters in later generations.

    Li Er still appeared on the shore of the Weishui River, and the bridge was still the same temporary bridge stained with gunpowder smoke.  But the scene was completely different.  Here is Li Er with Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian and six others.  On the other side of the Weishui River, there was the Turkic Khan Jieli leading an army of hundreds of thousands.

    The corpses on the ground were cleared away, and even the blood stains were carefully covered up.  But even the scorched blackness on the bridge and the large pits on the ground could not be covered up at any cost.  Only these things can tell both parties in the negotiation how tragic a battle happened here.

    The Turks lined up on the north bank of the Weishui River, and countless flags seemed to spread to the horizon.  The Turkic warrior wearing leather armor looks like a winding yellow dragon.  Jie Li, with two servants, rode on horseback and stood facing Li Er in a very ostentatious manner.

    "Jieli Khan, after the Battle of Lanzhou, you seemed to have made an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, and the two sides would never invade each other. Now the ink is not dry, but you personally led the army to the gates of Chang'an. This does not seem to be a Khan's response.  You have some credit!" The two sides were more than a hundred steps away, Li Er shouted while grabbing his neck.

    "King Qin! Oh no, you should be called His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty now. I, Jieli, made an alliance with you, the Tang Dynasty. But where is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty at that time? You killed your brother and imprisoned me, Jie.  Li¡¯s friend, your father. The Han people value fairness in doing things, but no one in the Han region can give your father and brothers justice. Then it¡¯s up to me, a Turk, to give them justice!"

    Jie Li obviously did his homework and packaged his invasion as Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji seeking justice.  It was said so righteously, as if that was really the case.

    Li Er's face immediately darkened. The Xuanwu Sect matter was his fault.  No one in the Tang Dynasty dared to mention this taboo topic in the Tang Dynasty, but Jie Li actually said it in public.  Li Er's anger level has reached a new height.

    But Li Er is Li Er after all, and when he was the boss, he controlled the world.  Now that his strength is inferior to that of others, Renren's kung fu can be regarded as unique.

    Gritting his teeth and enduring Jieli's ridicule, Li Er swallowed his saliva and said: "Jieli Khan, I don't need you to worry about the family affairs of my Li family. Just the day before yesterday, 30,000 troops under your command were buried at the head of the Weishui Bridge.  . If you don¡¯t take your people out of the Tang Dynasty, I will tell you very responsibly. Your team that stretches for dozens of miles will soon end up with this 30,000-strong army."

    "Li Shimin, you are just relying on the sharpness of gunpowder. Do you think that my Turkic warriors are afraid of returning? As long as I give the order, the Turkic warriors can capture Chang'an City now!"

    "Hahaha! If that's the case, would you talk to me here? Jieli, stop beating around the bush. Say what you want. Whatever I can give you, I will give it to you naturally. This is not because I am afraid of you.  , but I want to give you a step up.

    Why do I want to give you a step? I want to establish a covenant between us.  Let the Tang Dynasty and the Turks truly prevent each other from attacking each other.  You Turks are in great difficulty now, and we in the Tang Dynasty also need to cultivate and recuperate.  This is in the interests of both of us, but if you want to fight, I, Li Shimin, will accompany you to the end.

    You have already seen the power of gunpowder. Last winter, your 300,000 people could not defeat Lanzhou City.  Now you have more than 100,000 people, and you dare to attack Chang'an?  Forget it, Jieli!  Let them shake hands and make peace, bringing peace to your people and to my people.  how?  "

    Li Er was impatient to continue talking nonsense with Jie Li, so it would be best to ask him to withdraw his troops early.  There must be Turkic spies in Chang'an City, if they learn that the Tang army is running out of gunpowder.  What awaits Datang will be catastrophe.

    "Peace is a good thing. If possible, this Khan is not willing to fight against each other. Tell me, what level of steps you give me. If this level is enough for me to stand, my army will immediately withdraw from the land of Tang Dynasty.  ." Jie Li nodded, bargaining is the focus of today.  Instead of the kind of verbal quarrels just now!

    "There is still some surplus in the Tang Dynasty treasury, and it has been allocated 500,000 yuan to Khan. This is the step I give to Khan, how about it?" It seems that Li Er is also a good businessman, and he just reduced his bottom line by half.

    "Fifty thousand guan, Li Shimin, aren't you a little too stingy? I, Jie Li, am not a beggar. Just 500,000 guan, and you're going to get rid of me?" Jie Li curled his lips and asked about the figure proposed by Li Er.  Quite disdainful.

    "Then how much did you say?"

    "One million guans for free! As long as you come up with 1 million guans, I will immediately withdraw my troops. And I.  "Mrs. Fang crouched and knelt down, which was considered a confrontation with the emperor.

    "Want to die? Okay! Come here, bring me a bowl of poisonous wine. If you don't respect my will, as long as you drink this bowl of poisonous wine, I will take back your life."

    The waiter brought out a bowl of dark brown stuff, and you could smell the pungent smell of it from afar.  The ministers all covered their noses. Many of them who had some friendship with Fang Xuanling or the Lu family turned their heads, not wanting to see this miserable scene.

    Mrs. Lu lives up to her reputation as a shrew, and is not afraid of a bowl of poisonous wine.  As soon as the waiter brought it to his eyes, Lu grabbed it and drank it in one gulp.  Li Er was stunned. He didn't expect that there was such a jealous woman in the world who was not afraid of death.

    "It's so sour!" Just as people were hiding their faces and couldn't bear to see it, Lu Shi, who drank a bowl of poisonous wine, said two words with a bitter face.

    "That's a bowl of vinegar. How could I really give you the poisoned wine? Forget it! I take it back!" Li Er sighed helplessly, admitting defeat.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
