Chapter 103 You have already died eight times
He said, "Fang Xuanling, let's talk."
Fang Xuanling had already learned the details of the matter in detail with Baihu, Gao Yong and others, but he felt that it would be better to let Li You and other parties say it more convincingly.
He said, "Your Majesty, let His Highness the King of Qi say that they know the situation better."
"Your Majesty, I request a speech." Gao Yong hated Quan Wanji and had something in his heart, like a bone in his throat, and he would not vomit without pleasure.
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Gao Aiqing, you said, I believe in you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gao Yong said gratefully.
He pointed at Quan Wanji and said, "Qiuan Wanji, you are so shameless."
Quan Wanji said angrily: "Gao Yong, why are you scolding people? It's so vulgar."
Gao Yong said, "I scold you for being ungrateful and a villain. You still have the face to impeach His Highness the King of Qi here with shameless words.
Do you know that if it weren't for His Highness King Qi, you would have died eight times long ago?!"
He was too lazy to wait for Quan Wanji to answer, and then said, "Your Majesty, I can't explain this matter alone. Can I let Bai Hu, the guard of His Highness, talk about it first, and I will add it later?"
Li Shimin said: "It's accurate."
Soon, the white tiger, who had been waiting outside the hall, was announced in.
It was the first time that Baihu entered the Tai Chi Hall. He was very curious and a little timid. He passed through the civil and military officials with trembling fear, and saw Li You standing in front of him, and suddenly became bolder.
After he finished his tribute, Li Shimin said, "Baihu, tell me about how Li You went to Tuyuhun."
Baihu said: "There are my husbands who obey the order."
He bowed to Li Shimin again, turned his head, looked at Li You, and saw Li You's encouraging smile. He turned around and said:
"Your Majesty, the matter will start more than a month ago. My prince heard from his friend Hamid, a Persian businessman, that the political situation in Tuyuhun was unstable. He was worried about the safety of His Highness the King of Shu and was determined to go to rescue him.
At that time, I told my prince that His Highness the King of Shu was not very good to him, so why should he risk his life to save him?
My prince said that His Highness the King of Shu is still good to him, and there is only a small friction between him and His Highness the King of Shu. His Highness the King of Shu is his brother after all, so he must go to rescue him no matter what."
Quan Wanji interrupted and said, "It's a nonsense that you really can gild your face."
Baihu was interrupted by Quan Wanji and was a little dazed for a moment. He felt very wronged and was about to refute Quan Wanji when Li Shimin spoke, and he said unhappily:
"Quan Wanji, shut up."
When Li Shimin scolded, Quan Wanji looked pale and stunned.
As soon as Li Shimin said, the ministers all looked at Quan Wanji with pity.
Li Shimin said to Baihu with a kind look: "You continue."
Baihu said, "Yes, Your Majesty. At that time, Duke Chen and Prince Dongping County were in the Qi Palace. My prince asked them to enter the palace to ask for your Majesty, and he took his ministers and others to set out directly."
Li Shimin said: "Yes, there is indeed this. You continue."
When the ministers heard Li Shimin's words, they were shocked and looked at Li You in surprise.
Baihu said: "Duke Chen and Prince Dongping both believed in my prince and sent his adopted son Hou Cheng and nephew Li Duan to follow my prince.
After hearing about it, Duke Su and General Yuchi also sent their sons Cheng Chuliang and Yuchi Baoqi to chase after him.
And Hamid, my prince’s friend, took his servants and set off with my prince.”
There was another slight commotion in the hall. The ministers didn't know that Hou Junji, Cheng Yaojin and others were so brave, so they dared to let their nephews follow the King of Qi to take risks.
Cheng Yaojin said: "I believe that His Highness, King Qi, His Highness, dare to take risks, and my son dares!"
Yuchi Gong said with his chest straight: "So is my son!"
Zhang Liang didn't say anything, but when he saw his son standing there, he felt happy.
Baihu said: "My prince arrived in Tuyuhun and heard that there had been a coup in Tuyuhun and His Highness the King of Shu was arrested.
My prince sent Cheng Chuliang and Yuchi Baoqi to Fuqi City first, and then took me directly to Fanju City to find Murong Bo.
My prince promised to give Murong Bo 1.5 million guan and 300,000 dan of food. Murong Bo promised to help rescue His Highness the King of Shu, and after defeating Murong Zun, he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty."
There was another "buzzing" commotion in the hall. People were amazed at Li You's wealth and also amazed at how he was able to achieve such conditions with Murong Bo that were beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ke and Quan Wanji were both stunned.
Baihu continued: "My prince had no money, so he borrowed 1.5 million guan from his friend Hamid and entrusted him to give Murong Bo 300,000 dan of grain."
He was not stupid. He heard the ministers' discussion and hurriedly added.
Then he continued, "Later, my prince took his ministers and others to Fuqi City.
What happened later... is a bit messy, I can't explain it clearly."
Li You said, "Father, let me tell you."
Baihu retreated aside, Li You stood in the middle of the hall, and he said, "Father, the son minister judged the situation at that time and believed that the Tubo people were instructing him to the rebellion of Tuyuhun Murong Zun.
After carefully analyzing the situation, my son-in-law believed that the Tang army was far away in Longyou Road and had insufficient troops. Relying on the Tang army not only could not solve the predicament at that time, but would instead push Murong Zun even more to Tubo because of rashly sending troops, thus harming the lives of my third brother and the others.
The son minister believed that Murong Zun was in a wait-and-see mentality at that time. On the one hand, he hoped to get support from the Tubo people. On the other hand, he saw Hou Junji's army stationed on the border, and was also worried that the Tang Dynasty would support Murong Bo.
The son-in-law decided to seize his hesitant mentality and first rescue my third brother, General Xue Wanjun and his Tang army under him.
So, the son minister sent Zhang Baogui, Hou Cheng and Li Duan to take their family generals to Fuqi City and Longde City to intercept and kill the Tubo people, cut off the ties between the two places, and spread the news that Murong Zun surrendered to the Tang Dynasty."
"Your Highness King Qi, let me talk about the next thing." Zhang Baogui said hurriedly when he saw such an opportunity to show his face.
Li You reached out and signaled that Zhang Baogui would like to speak.
Zhang Baogui said: "Your Majesty, my brother You sent me to intercept the Tubo people, and told me to intercept the Tubo people coming from Longde City, kill the strong men among them, and put them back, and let go of the news that Murong Zun surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. None of the Tubo people coming from Fuqi City could be let go.
I followed my brother You's order, wearing the Tuyuhun military uniforms, and intercepted and killed several groups of Tubo people coming from Longde City. I also intercepted and killed a group of Tubo people coming from Fuqi City.
Later, a large group of Tuyuhun people came out of Fuqi City, and they escorted the Tubo envoys to Longde City.
The army escorted the Tubo people at first glance was an elite force. The marching was extremely organized and very vigilant. They had more than 200 people!
