Mendo stood up excitedly, and hurriedly asked: "Master Changsun, I don't know where the peace agreement is, can you let me have a look?"
Changsun Wuji waved his hand, and an official took out some contracts and handed them to Menduo.
Menduo snatched it away, turned around like crazy, and asked someone to take the big seal of Tubo, stamped the big seal, and then wrote down the names of himself and the peace negotiating envoys behind him.
Before and after, in the blink of an eye, Tubo agreed to the terms of the peace negotiation.
Mendo handed over the contract with both hands, and said with a smile: "My lords, I have already signed this contract, please sign it as soon as possible..."
As he spoke, he stared at Changsun Wuji and the others in fear.
I was worried that Changsun Wuji and others would suddenly repent.
Changsun Wuji and others sneered, then took out the big seal and stamped it.
Negotiations are complete.
Datang side, neither sad nor happy.
On the Tubo side, they clapped their hands happily.
This negotiation is simply too easy.
Mendo did not expect such a success.
Mendo proposed to invite the officials of the Tang Yihe Mission to taste the delicacies of Tubo, but Changsun Wuji refused.
Everyone is not in the mood to eat food.
Especially Changsun Wuji.
The news of this peace negotiation spread to Datang, and many people must have called him a traitor.
Ugh!
Chen Chu, oh Chen Chu, you have done me a disservice!
Seeing this, Menduo also knew that the Tang officials were unhappy because of the peace negotiation, so he stopped forcing and sent some fine wine, and then he planned to go back to Luoxi City to explain to Songtsan Gampo.
Just when Menduo was about to leave, Changsun Wuji suddenly stopped him, "Prime Minister Menduo, stay a step, the old man was entrusted by someone, and I want to discuss something with you..."
Menduo was puzzled and asked, "Master Changsun, I don't have any acquaintances in Chang'an City. I wonder who entrusted you?"
Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "You don't know this person, but he knows you. The person who entrusted me to find you is Princess Gesang's adoptive father, Chen Chu..."
Chen Chu?
When Mendo heard this, he was a little excited.
He rubbed his hands.
This is a great hero of my Tubo.
If it weren't for Chen Chu's help, how could there be the situation where Tubo is negotiating peace today.
Maybe, Datang and Tubo are already fighting each other now.
Mendo immediately became interested: "I don't know what that Concubine Chen wants from me?"
Changsun Wuji took out two balls of cotton from his sleeve, and said, "Prime Minister Menduo, may I ask, is this thing produced in Tubo?"
Mendo took it over and looked at it.
Isn't this the jibe that can be seen everywhere in Tubo?
This thing is still very important in a place as cold as Tubo.
Changsun Wuji said: "Chen Chu called him Cotton, and Chen Chu intends to do business with you... He wants you to help collect this cotton. After two months, he will send people to Tubo to buy it. This dry cotton The price is around [-] Wen per catty..."
About fifty cents a catty?
Mendo was suddenly taken aback.
A catty of cotton seems like a lot.
But these things can be seen everywhere in Tubo, they are wild everywhere, and they are not worth much at all.
Can you sell [-] Wen per catty now?
He was a little dumbfounded.
The price is really high!
The price is too high.
Even Changsun Wuji thought so.
You know, as Mendo said, cotton is very common in Tibet, so an adult can pick at least three catties of cotton every day, which is 150 Wen.
No wonder Mendo looked so happy.
Mendo asked in surprise: "My lord, how much cotton Chen Consort Chen wants?"
Changsun Wuji said: "The more the better, there is no limit to the number!"
"Then he has so much money?" Mendo asked curiously.
Changsun Wuji laughed: "Prime Minister Menduo, you can doubt anyone, but you can't doubt Chen Chu. In time, if you have the opportunity to go to Chang'an City, you will find that Chen Chu is a first-class wealthy businessman in the world." , His business has already spread all over the Tang Dynasty."
Mendo suddenly realized.
It turned out that Chen Chu was a rich man.
No wonder he was favored by Emperor Tang.
From this point of view, this business can be done completely.
Menduo nodded and said, "Okay, for the sake of the eldest grandson, our Menduo tribe is willing to do this business. After I go back, I will let the tribe start collecting cotton and wait for Chen Consort to arrive!"
Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I'll be fine!"
……
Negotiation is over.
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, and Cheng Yaojin came to Qingshuichuan, the original big city of Tuyuhun, and met Li Ji and Duan Zhixuan.
As soon as the two sides met, Li Ji couldn't help but exploded, "Master Changsun, which bastard proposed to His Majesty to negotiate a peace? Is it the civil servants in the court? When I return to Chang'an, I have to discuss it with them." Fan, now, our Datang army has entered Tuyuhun territory, and we can take down Tubo in one fell swoop at any time. Such a good time, but we want to negotiate a peace. If the Tibetan wolf ambitions are allowed to cultivate for a few years, I am afraid that it will threaten my Tang Dynasty. Earth..."
Li Ji was very angry.
……
Chapter 295 The Wronged Grandson Wuji
"Cough cough..."
When Changsun Wuji heard Li Ji swearing, he coughed twice, and then said: "Director Li, this... This is a suggestion from the son-in-law, Chen Chu, to His Majesty, and His Majesty also agrees..."
He calculated it in his mind.
Motherfucker!
The old man said it was Chen Chu's idea.
If you want to scold, scold Chen Chu.
This scapegoat, the old man will not bear it.
Li Ji frowned and snorted coldly: "Master Changsun, you are really shameless..."
What?
Changsun Wuji, who had just been complacent in his heart, was suddenly dumbfounded.
If you don't scold Chen Chu, what are you scolding me for?
He roared angrily: "Li Ji, don't think that this old man is afraid of you, why do you say that this old man is shameless."
Li Ji sneered and said, "My lord, grandson, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? The son-in-law Chen Chu, I heard, is only in his early twenties. He is not an official in the court. He doesn't even have a title. He can influence the affairs of the court? This idea, for sure. You did it. As for the purpose, you must have taken advantage of the Tubo people to facilitate this matter, and you have also served as the head of the peace negotiation mission... You traitor, I bah, you go away , you are not welcome here..."
His reasoning is impeccable.
Changsun Wuji slapped the table angrily: "Li Ji, don't go too far!"
Li Ji didn't care: "Master Changsun, don't be impatient with me. This is Hexi, not Chang'an City. I'm not afraid of you, a traitor like you..."
"No reason!"
Changsun Wuji flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked out.
Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing, and the three hurriedly followed outside.
Changsun Wuji was cursing as he walked.
"The old man is so angry!"
"It really makes no sense!"
"Li Ji is a son of man in vain!"
"He dared to say that the old man is a traitor! This matter, General Cheng, General Li, and Lord Wei, you all know the cause and effect. This is all Chen Chu's suggestion. I am the head of the peace mission, and I was appointed by His Majesty on a temporary basis." Yes, the conscience of heaven and earth, although my daughter-in-law Princess Gesang is from Tubo, I have nothing to do with Tubo..."
Wei Zheng and others hurriedly persuaded him.
At this time, General Duan Zhixuan chased him out and shouted loudly: "My lord, my lords, we have prepared fine wine and mutton, please follow me to have a taste..."
Hearing that there was something delicious, Cheng Yaojin and the others were all salivating.
But Changsun Wuji said angrily: "Eat, what are you going to eat? I don't dare to go to Li Ji's banquet. He said that I am a traitor... If you don't eat, set off and return to Chang'an City immediately."
In the end, the meal didn't work out.
Under Changsun Wuji's order, everyone immediately set off for Chang'an.
……
half a month later.
The chariots and horses of the negotiating mission arrived outside Chang'an City.
Early in the morning, the sun rises.
Originally, Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng rode in the same carriage.
Seeing that Chang'an City is far away.
Cheng Yaojin said suddenly: "My lords, old Cheng, I'm going to Meishan, and that Meishan has shares in my Lu Guogong's mansion... I have to go and see, old Cheng, whether I can make a fortune depends on the coal mine." I won't go into the city with you..."
After finishing speaking, Cheng Yaojin jumped out of the carriage first, asked the guards to bring a horse, got on the horse, and ran away in a hurry.
Changsun Wuji said unhappily: "This Cheng Zhijie really doesn't understand the rules...Today, as the ministers of the peace negotiation, we are going to the Taiji Hall to report to His Majesty. He is leaving at this time, and His Majesty will definitely be unhappy... ..."
Before the words finished, Wei Zheng suddenly clutched his stomach, and shouted in pain, "Stop, stop... the old man ate badly last night..."
With that said, he was about to get off the carriage in a hurry.
Changsun Wuji was surprised and said, "Master Wei, you...are you alright?"
Wei Zheng jumped out of the carriage, came back again, opened the curtain, and said to Changsun Wuji: "Master Changsun, I...my body can no longer withstand the torment, I plan to find a place to solve it first, you...you Take the mission to the city first, and report to His Majesty quickly, don't let His Majesty wait, I will come later..."
In the report with Li Er, it was agreed a long time ago that today he will return to the Tai Chi Hall, and Li Er and other civil and military ministers are waiting.
Changsun Wuji then said: "Okay, Master Wei, follow up as soon as possible... I will take people to report to His Majesty first."
The convoy continued on its way.
After entering Chang'an City.
Li Jing's complexion changed suddenly, and he said, "Oh, my lord, why did I forget about this... My concubine is going to give birth today, I have to go back and have a look, I can't delay even a moment, please tell your majesty , another day, I will enter the palace to apologize to His Majesty..."
With that said, without waiting for Changsun Wuji to agree, Li Jing jumped out of the carriage directly.
Changsun Wuji looked at each other, "These guys really don't fulfill their duties at all, how can there be such a reason... Hmph, this old man must make it clear in front of His Majesty..."
He brought the mission into the palace, and then rushed to the Tai Chi Hall.
……
Tai Chi Temple.
Although today is not the time for the Great Court Meeting, the ministers of cultural relics have all gathered together.
Li Erduan sat on the dragon chair.
What is everyone waiting for.
