Chapter 12 Li Tang Mission.

In the court, Li You himself was also surprised. You should know that among the civil and military officials present today, Li You was the most inconspicuous one.

Moreover, his father Li Si committed a serious crime of treason. Although His Majesty pardoned him from the three tribes of Li, his father was no longer as guilty as his son, but he still valued him so much. How could Li You not be so devoted to his heart?

Thinking of this, Li You couldn't help but burst into tears and knelt on the hall: "I, Li You, should do my best to do my best to serve Your Majesty and the Qin Dynasty, and strive for the best interests in this negotiation."

Fusu thought for a moment and said, "Wang Li, you will lead a team of soldiers to protect the safety of the Tang envoy."

Outside Xianyang City.

A team of more than 300 people stopped outside Xianyang City. If this team looked just from the appearance, it would look like a caravan.

However, at this time, the team was wearing the yellow envoy flag. The front of the flag was the word "Tang" with dragons and phoenixes dancing, and the reverse was the same font with a slightly smaller word "Li".

On this continent, the Qin Dynasty was located in the northwest border. The Tang Dynasty was in the heart of the Central Plains, and there was a powerful Han between them.

The reason why the Tang Dynasty wanted to join forces with Qin was because it wanted to deal with the Han Dynasty. Similarly, if the Han Dynasty knew about this, it would definitely find a way to stop the Tang Dynasty's delegation.

Therefore, the second son of Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, the deputy envoy of Qin, thought of pretending to pass through the Han Dynasty as a caravan, and after entering the hinterland of the Qin Dynasty, he would plant the envoy flag of the Tang Dynasty.

"Oh!"

"Is this the capital of Qin? It's really shabby!"

Among the three leaders in the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, a young man in brocade robe with a slightly frivolous appearance said with a slightly sarcastic expression.

"Yuanji, don't be too arrogant."

Among the three leaders, the oldest man with gentle and gentleman appearance scolded him.

This person is the eldest son of Emperor Li Yuan of Tang Dynasty, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the envoy of Qin Zheng Li Jiancheng.

Indeed, the Xianyang City of the Qin Dynasty cannot be compared with the Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty. Xianyang is like a rough northwest man, while Chang'an is a delicate and plump woman.

Among the seven countries, Qin was the poorest, but although its national strength was weak, it had the strongest military strength.

The old Qin people are proud of their pride and going to the national crisis together. This old Qin people's oath is not just a saying.

The Qin Dynasty achieved the strongest military strength with the weakest national strength among the seven countries. This was the result of the joint efforts of the people and officials of the whole country.

Even when the First Emperor was alive, his daily meal was just a cauldron and a piece of pancake.

The delicacies and sea scents that the First Emperor ate in his life were not as good as those that the rich country and the rich king in one month, such as Emperor Tang and Emperor Song.

Qin State, although the Qin people were poor, they were the most backbone of the seven countries.

Although Tang was rich, the family was rampant and the people were even more mediocre.

Li Jiancheng was a gentleman. Although Qin State was poor, Li Jiancheng admired the First Emperor and the ambition of the people of the Qin Dynasty.

Li Yuanji mocked the Qin Dynasty, but he didn't know that if the people of the Tang Dynasty had half of the ambitions of the people of the Qin Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty's families could sweep away in an instant.

The second son of Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, was appointed as the deputy envoy of Qin. This was a heroic young man who was a sword-browed eagle.

He stared at the city in front of him. Although it was far less prosperous than Chang'an City, the city walls built with black stone were covered with traces of vicissitudes of swords and axes.

These are the foundation of the magnificent old Qin. Compared with such magnificent old Qin, the magnificent Chang'an City seems a little exaggerated.

"Brother, when we were on the mission, Hu Hai was in power. I never thought that after we arrived in Xianyang, Fusu would wipe out the government and the country."

"In this short month, such a huge change has occurred. Hu Hai is incompetent, but Fusu is a famous benevolent king. I'm afraid that this mission may not be as easy as expected." Li Shimin withdrew his gaze and said to his elder brother.

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "This is a bad thing in Shimin. We are here to form an alliance with the Qin Dynasty, but we are not here to intrigue with the Qin Dynasty."

"Since we form a brotherly alliance, we should be honest."

Li Shimin looked at his elder brother and felt helpless. His elder brother was too gentle and honest.

The interests of these countries should be the first priority, so how can we deal with brotherly feelings? I am afraid that my brother will suffer a loss sooner or later.”

Li Shimin thought to himself that with his eldest brother's character, he would be difficult to take the initiative in this alliance. Fortunately, I heard that the current emperor of the Qin Dynasty, Fusu, is also a gentle gentleman.

I think it wouldn't be aggressive in this league.

Li Yuanji did not interrupt the conversation between the eldest brother and the second brother. If the young ladies in Chang'an City were the most handsome, Li Yuanji could have said that they lasted for three days and three nights. However, Li Yuanji had ten orifices and had no idea about the matter between the country.

Emperor Tang Li Yuan had four sons. In addition to the fourth son Li Yuanba who was still in his infancy, the other three sons jointly sent Qin this time, which shows that Emperor Tang attached great importance to the alliance with Qin.

The eldest son Li Jiancheng is gentle and pure, and the second son Li Shimin is heroic and generous. The third son Li Yuanji is both eating, drinking, gambling and gamble.

In this regard, the people of Chang'an City all used a dragon, a tiger, and a dog to describe the three sons of Emperor Tang.

While speaking, a team of Qin soldiers walked out of the city, leading two young men, one civil and one martial.

"Welcome the Tang Special Envoy Li You to arrive!"

After a loud singing voice fell, Li You had already walked to Li Jiancheng.

"I am the one who is personally granted by His Majesty Qin Emperor to welcome the Tang Dynasty Li You. I don't know which one is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the envoy of Qin." Li You came to the three of them and bowed and bowed to him.

"I'm waiting for Lord Li for a long time, and I'm Li Jiancheng!" Li Jiancheng took a step forward and responded.

"I have long admired the name of the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. Today it is late. Emperor Qin asked the Tang delegation to go to the inn to rest first."

"You are here to discuss with the Tang envoy first. Until tomorrow, the Qin Emperor will personally receive the Tang envoy." Li You's voice was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Please take the lead!" Li Jiancheng bowed to Li You and said.

According to the etiquette of diplomatic relations between the two countries, the meeting between the countries was held in the morning. It was already noon after Li Jiancheng and his friends arrived in Xianyang. Therefore, according to the etiquette, the Qin State Council sent a special envoy to welcome them into the inn to rest first.

Then, the next day, the process began to be followed, and step by step negotiation and meeting.

Li You brought the envoys of the Tang Kingdom into the city. The Tang Kingdom had more than 300 envoys, and most of them were dressed in brocade robes and silk. The Qin people on the roadside, or even the officials on the Qin Kingdom, were almost all wearing cotton and linen robes.

In this way, in comparison, the Qin people seemed very shabby. However, Li Jiancheng saw a deep sense of confidence and pride from the faces of the people of the Qin Dynasty.
