"This apology letter is quite profound, and the words have obviously been carefully considered."
Zhao Ziliang expressed his affirmation, looked at the civil and military ministers on the left and right, and asked: "Gentlemen, what do you think our Datang should do?"
Regarding Bohai State’s sending a mission to plead guilty this time.”
Immediately, a gray-haired veteran stood up and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I believe that as the great country of the Tang Dynasty, we should be tolerant and broad-minded.
As the saying goes, knowing your mistakes can improve everything.
Since the king of Bohai, Daqin Mao knew that he was wrong about what happened back then, and he was willing to correct it, and expressed his eternal surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
The old minister believed that he should be tolerated and given preferential treatment.
Besides, the fact that the mission sent so many tribute gifts this time shows that their attitude is good."
Just as the veteran minister finished speaking, another minister stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I do not agree with the tolerance and preferential treatment of the Balhae Kingdom.
At the beginning, the King clearly ordered them to send troops to assist in the attack on Silla Kingdom and Japan.
Being overseas is understandable, but Bohae Kingdom and Silla are very close, but they resist the decree and disrespect it for various reasons.
I believe that this phenomenon must not be tolerated.
If other tribes are like Bohae Kingdom, what kind of power can we have in the Tang Dynasty?
Wouldn’t the decree have no effect on surrounding tribes and vassal countries?”
As soon as these words came out, many ministers immediately came forward to support, but there were still some people who supported the idea of not pursuing the case, but to be tolerant and give preferential treatment to Bohai Country.
Everyone argued for a while, and Zhao Ziliang looked at Lu Qi and Guan Bo and asked, "Two prime ministers, what do you think?"
Lu Qi rolled his eyes and signaled to Guanbo: "Guanxiang, you should speak first."
Guanbo pondered for a moment, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I think that since Da Qinmao sent envoys to plead guilty and presented a lot of treasures, it means that the other party is indeed repentant.
If we raise troops again Attacking, this shows that I, the Tang Dynasty, are too petty and are suspected of bullying.
Therefore, Wei Chen believes that we should be tolerant and give preferential treatment.
However, The power of the king and the Tang Dynasty cannot be offended.
The Bohai Kingdom must be punished as a punishment.
I have some ideas: First, let the Bohai Kingdom cede Fuyu, Changling, and Ya.
The land of the four prefectures, Haofu and Nanhai, will be given to our country; secondly, let the Bohai Kingdom send a prince to Chang'an as a pledge; thirdly, the Bohai Kingdom will pay an annual tribute of 10 million gold yuan to our country."
The deputy envoy of Bohai State, Dayuan Yi, couldn't bear it after hearing this and immediately became furious: "No way, you are simply bullying others too much.
I, Bohai State, will never agree to this."
Zhao Ziliang ignored him and looked at Lu Qi: "Master Lu, what do you think?"
Lu Qi could only bite the bullet and stand up and cup his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Master Guan's suggestion, but I think the conditions proposed by Master Guan are too unrealistic.
The land area of Bohai Country is not very large and its output is limited.
It’s almost impossible to ask them to pay 10 million gold dollars a year as tribute, because they simply can’t come up with that much money.”
Zhao Ziliang then turned his attention to Dayi Xin, the envoy of Bohai Kingdom, and asked: "What do you think, Dayi Xin?"
Dayi Xin said in a firm tone: "Your Majesty, our country has admitted its mistake and sent an apology.
Moreover, the king personally wrote a letter to apologize.
If the Celestial Empire is still aggressive, this will not be the style of the Celestial Kingdom.
Moreover, although our country, Bohai, has a small land and few people, , but I, the people of Bohai Country, will never allow others to bully me.”
After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang suddenly became furious and smacked the imperial court, "Many years ago, the Bohai Kingdom had already submitted a letter expressing its surrender to the Celestial Dynasty.
Our Tang Dynasty also conferred the title of king on the leader of the Bohai Kingdom.
The king of the Bohai Kingdom also had My official title in the Tang Dynasty is As a subject, you want to be protected by the Celestial Empire, but you don’t want to do some due obligations.
Do you think there is such a cheap thing in the world?
As a minister, but disobeying the will of the imperial court, what kind of behavior do you think Gu Heda is doing?
The authority of the Tang Empire is yours Are we, the foreign vassals, used to test the bottom line again and again?
If your Bohai country just wants to smooth over this matter with a piece of apology, I will tell you responsibly that the meaning of "impossible relationship" is what I mean.
Three conditions, the second condition cannot be changed Change, the first and third conditions can be negotiated, but cannot be erased.
This is Gu’s final verdict.
If you don’t want to negotiate, you can go back immediately.

Let’s meet in arms.
Even with the power of the entire country of the Tang Dynasty, We will also destroy the Bohai Kingdom and massacre all the Bohai people.”
Dayi Xin finally felt Zhao Ziliang's tough style.
The Tang Dynasty may not be able to do anything against the Japanese country in a short time.
After all, it is separated by the sea, but against the Bohai Kingdom, the Tang Dynasty can send troops to attack at any time.
If he does not agree to negotiate, then Zhao Ziliang has enough This reason made everyone in the court support sending troops to attack Bohai.
When Zhao Ziliang issued an edict, there would be no constraints.
With the power of the whole country, it was not just talk.
Dayi Xin felt like he was struck by thunder, his body was shaking like a sieve, and his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.
He knew very well that the small Bohai Kingdom would never be able to resist the attack of the Tang Dynasty with the power of the whole country, let alone There is a Western Qin kingdom behind Zhao Ziliang.
Although Zhao Ziliang has given up the throne of Western Qin to his son, no one doubts that he can mobilize the troops of Western Qin.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance.
I, the minister, can't make the decision."
Daishin knelt on the ground and shouted with all his strength.
Zhao Ziliang was not moved at all: "If you can't make the decision, what qualifications do you have to be an envoy?
Take them down, and the negotiations will start in three days.
You will be responsible for the negotiations on behalf of the imperial court."
"Follow the decree" The principal and deputy envoys of the Bohai Kingdom were led out of the hall amidst heart-rending shouts.
The civil and military ministers all felt the power of Zhao Ziliang.
In terms of his attitude towards the surrounding countries and tribes, Zhao Ziliang, the regent, was obviously better than himself.
The previous emperors of the dynasty had to be tough, and even among the emperors of the past dynasties, no one could be found like Zhao Ziliang.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ziliang suddenly looked at our envoy Fujiwara and said: "Fujiwara, if there is nothing else, you can leave.
Your mission has been completed and you can return to Japan soon.
Remember Gu's instructions, you There is no other option” "Hi" Fujiwara and others bowed, and then exited the hall under the leadership of the eunuch.
Although the envoys from the Bohai Kingdom and the Japanese Kingdom left, the court meeting was not over.
Zhao Ziliang saw the emperor sitting on the throne and yawning non-stop.
He turned to the emperor and said, "If your Majesty is tired, you can return to the inner palace to rest first."
The emperor was overjoyed and stood up and said: "Oh, that's great.
It's so boring here.
I just want to go play with the birds.
You continue, I'm leaving."
The emperor patted his butt and jumped like a child and ran out of the main hall from the side door.
Several eunuchs immediately chased after him: "Your Majesty, slow down, slow down, wait for the slaves."
The ministers were speechless for a while.
At this time, King Yan Li Bin stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Prince Regent, Mr. , will the prince and grand master be arrested if So, wouldn't the safety of the court ministers become a problem, and everyone should be in danger?
Does the court still have laws to speak of?
Isn't it true that the princes and princes of the Li Tang clan have now fallen to the point where anyone can bully them?
Is the world still under Li and Tang?”
Zhao Ziliang looked at Li Bin's extremely angry accusation and said: "I understand the mood of King Yan and the princes and princes of the clan.
I agreed to arrest Li Mian.
Of course I am not willing to do it.
Li Mian is in the clan."
He is also a rare and talented person among them.
The king personally appointed him from Taichang Shaoqing to the governor of Jingzhao.
Since then, he has been promoted all the way and served as prime minister for two terms.

He has made great contributions to the restoration of the glory of the Tang Dynasty.
Da and Gu certainly don’t believe it, and they don’t even want to believe that he is a treasonous person.
However, matters in the court must not be based on emotions.
According to the investigation, Li Mian has serious suspicions.
Gu can’t do it just because he is the Duke of the clan, the Crown Prince, or the Grand Master.
Nor can he bend the law for personal gain just because he has served the country as prime minister.
As the saying goes, real gold is not afraid of fire, so there is no harm in investigating him.
If he really has nothing to do with the rebellion, I will definitely give him justice and clear his name."
Li Bin cupped his hands and said: "The regent's words are to the point.
I feel inexplicable, but Master Xuan's methods are a bit too cruel.
Until now, I still don't know where Li Mian is being held.
It turned out to be a treason case." , and it involves a member of the clan, why can't the trial be conducted justly and openly?
Ask, but what if some people want to hide and interrogate secretly?
Moreover, I am very puzzled by the regent’s appointment of Mr.
Mr.
Xuan is an official of Western Qin, so it seems inappropriate to take charge of this case."
These words are tantamount to openly challenging Zhao Ziliang, and they are said eloquently and with sufficient reasons.
Zhao Ziliang cannot even have a seizure.
After all, he is just the regent, a person with a foreign surname, not an emperor.
Zhao Ziliang suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly: "The reason why Gu asked officials from Western Qin to investigate this rebellion case is because the rebellion case involves many people.
Let's not talk about other people, just Li Mian.
His status is already extraordinary.
How can ordinary Tang Dynasty officials be qualified to investigate him?
And there are various signs that the forces behind this case are too large and complex.
No one can guarantee how many court officials have been infiltrated and bribed by them.
Any official in the court who takes over this case will have to worry about retaliation and cannot Investigate wholeheartedly to find out where Xuan Shiba is."
Xuan Shiba immediately stood up and clasped his fists in agreement: "I'm here."
Zhao Ziliang asked expressionlessly: "Let's just investigate the case.
Why should we find out where the mysterious person is?
Why not imprison him in a sky jail?"
