Chapter 242 What do you think?
Li Anran, who entered the palace for the first time, was taken directly outside the inner hall. Some time was wasted along the way, so at this time, Li Shimin had already finished the morning court, and was now in the inner hall with everyone.
The ministers discussed state affairs.
"Huh?" Li Shimin, who was talking about business, saw a servant wandering outside the palace gate, and his brows immediately stood up and he was about to get angry. But then he thought about it, none of these servants would dare to act like this, and his face suddenly darkened.
, said: "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, Master Chunyang wishes to see you." The chamberlain, who just felt the expression on his "boss"'s face, didn't dare to complain. You were talking about something, and you didn't want to be disturbed. He didn't swing around as a reminder, and he
He could force his way in, but he just lowered his head obediently and said.
"Oh? The real person is here?" Li Shimin was busy with his business and forgot about the others. Then he remembered that he had invited the other party. His face relaxed and he said: "Please come in, the real person."
"According to the order!" Seeing that he was not affected by the wrath of the thunder, the servant dared to stay longer and quickly retreated. However, he felt in his heart that this Master Chunyang was so proud that he didn't even bother to summon the Holy Emperor.
Use the word "please".
"Master, your Majesty invites you in." The chamberlain, who became more and more respectful, said with a smile like a flower.
"Oh, I've got a waiter." Li Anran, who was eager to wait outside for a while and take a lot of videos, took out a piece of money from his pocket bag and threw it over. Then he didn't care about the other party's reaction and raised it.
He walked towards the palace with his legs.
After subconsciously grabbing the thing thrown in front of him, he took a closer look and found that it was a solid piece of money. On the front of the money was a pattern of a village. Below it were four small characters of Xiaoyao Villa surrounded by patterns, and on the back were
There are two slightly larger fonts of "一Liang" and small characters of 999 purity.
In Li Anran's view, his casual rewards were just a matter of imitating the plots in fictional historical novels. Didn't they all say that these eunuchs with physical disabilities lost their lust for women and were obsessed with money?
Attachment arises.
Although I don’t need to care about such a little chamberlain because of my status, it’s precisely because of this. Since I don’t need to care about it, there is no need to make it difficult. Anyway, I don’t lack these few small coins, so there is nothing wrong with forming a good relationship casually.
good.
It's just that Li Anran never expected that there are many differences between reality and novels. This money is definitely not something worth being happy about for the chamberlain. If it's not good, it will probably cause trouble.
.
"Really...real person..." The waiter quickly realized that something was wrong. He quickly ran forward and said with a grimace.
"What? Too little?" Looking at the expression on the other person's face, it was obvious that something was not right. Li Anran thought that he had just been short-changed. Although he was a little unhappy, he did not intend to care about such a small matter. He just said that.
Take out two more coins.
"No, Master. I really can't accept this money, otherwise, I will lose my head." said the waiter who waved his hand quickly.
"Ah? So serious?" Li Anran, who had never expected that a casual reward would actually make the other party lose his head, said with some surprise.
"Sir, I don't dare to lie to you," the chamberlain said with a wry smile.
"That's it, that's okay." Li Anran, knowing that the other party didn't dare and had no need to lie to him about this matter, said and stretched out his hand.
Seeing this, the chamberlain who was originally worried that the other party would be unreasonable hurriedly put the gold coins in his hands that were still warm.
"Don't worry, I will tell the Lord later that I won't let you lose your head." Li Anran, knowing that he took things for granted, patted the other party on the shoulder, then turned and walked into the inner hall.
As for the chamberlain, he had an expression on his face that didn't know whether he was crying or laughing.
Li Anran originally thought that Li Shimin had called him here to install the air conditioner, but after entering the inner hall, he found that Fang Xuanling and the others were actually there, and they were obviously talking about something. So, he stepped forward and performed a Taoist ceremony.
, said: "I have met the saint and all the ministers."
"No courtesy, please sit down." Li Shimin ordered with a smile, ignoring the obvious transgressive behavior of the person in front of him.
Soon, a chair that was obviously a replica of the Grand Master's chair produced at Xiaoyao Villa was brought into the inner hall. However, the chair was placed in a slightly different position. It was obviously not related to civil servants or military generals, but was placed directly on Li Shimin's right hand.
Below and between the ministers.
In the eyes of Fang Xuanling and others, this kind of behavior naturally represents favor. However, considering someone's special status, it is not comparable to him at all, so no one is stupid enough to be envious or jealous of it.
"Your Majesty, I see that Your Majesty and the ministers have important matters to discuss. Otherwise, you can find a place for me to wait, so as not to delay national affairs." Li Anran was seen discussing things in the inner hall.
, shook his head and said.
"It doesn't matter, this matter has something to do with the real person. It just so happens that I also want to hear the real person's opinion." Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a smile.
He really wanted to say that he was an outsider and should not get involved in national affairs. But seeing Li Shimin's gentle and unquestionable eyes, Li Anran could only shrug and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then he sat on the chair.
Speaking of which, although it was Li Anran's first time entering the palace, he felt that he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running around, so he knew some etiquette. But what he didn't know was that he just thanked him and sat down.
His behavior was so "bold" in the eyes of all the civil servants and generals.
Fortunately, we are now in the inner palace, and the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is obviously closer. Otherwise, if this was placed in the environment of the early court, someone would have already impeached someone for the crime of disrespect.
After someone sat down, Li Shimin said with a smile: "Master, what do you think of Jie Li's request to send an envoy to Tang Dynasty to ask for Liang Shidu to be exchanged for Khitan?"
"Exchange Master Liang for Khitan?" Li Anran was stunned for a moment and realized that this matter had something to do with him, so he said.
"Yes, Jie Li's memorial is right here." Li Shimin said, pointing to the memorial on the table.
"On such a national matter, I think the Holy Spirit and the public have already made a decision. There is no need for me, an outsider, to say anything." Li Anran, who didn't want to be Li Yuanfang at all, shook his head and said.
Unfortunately, Li Shimin had no intention of letting him go just like that. He smiled and said: "Haha... I don't dare to have any worries, I just said it casually."
"I'll go! Say whatever you want, it's better not to say anything!" Li Anran uttered something in his heart. After contacting the other party several times, he also knew something about the character of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in front of him, so he could only say
:
"I don't have any opinion. However, according to my previous speculation, I believe that the Holy Emperor and you all have noticed Jie Li's ambition a long time ago. Besides, Pu Tianxia is not the royal territory. Since it is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, why bother
Go and change?"
As early as when he traveled to the Tang Dynasty and didn't know that he could go back, Li Anran made a decision for himself that he would never get involved in the development outline of the internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty unless necessary, so he just stopped there.
, and it is said that these are decisions that Li Minmin would have made in history.
"Okay! That's a good sentence. Is it the king's land under the empire? What the real person said really touched my heart." Li Shimin said with a big laugh.
In fact, even if he had not heard the other party's calculation before, Li Shimin never thought of exchanging Khitan for Liang Shidu. After all, compared to the Tang Dynasty, it was not the turn of a small Turk to point fingers.
Not to mention the political and military significance of the surrender of the Khitan, but in terms of face, if the Tang Dynasty really agreed to this exchange, wouldn't it be equivalent to putting itself on the same level as the Turks? In fact, it is very likely that they will still
Some people think that by doing this, the Tang Dynasty succumbed to the prestige of the Turks.
It is precisely because they all thought about this aspect that when faced with Li Anran's opinion, not only Li Shimin was very satisfied, but even the eyes of the civil servants and generals also expressed approval.
Seeing that if he allowed the other party to continue asking questions like this, God knew whether he would be treated like Li Yuanfang, so Li Anran took advantage of someone's joy and said: "Your Majesty, please don't ask me about important national affairs. It happened to be that everyone was busy."
