After fifteen days, an imperial edict finally arrived from Chang'an.

This is an imperial edict on Turkic negotiations.

Along with it came a huge team of officials.

Most of the officials in this team are from old-school aristocratic families, and there are many people at the helm of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, such as Wang Si, the leader of the Wang family in Taiyuan, Zheng Huairen, the leader of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and even people who have separated from their families. The six young masters, unexpectedly, all appeared in the team this time.

It can be seen that the competition for the errands of the Turkic negotiating mission is fierce.

Since the aristocratic families have competed for so many positions, the emerging forces of the Tiance Mansion will definitely not fall behind. As expected, the imperial edict is impartial and has given enough seats to the Tiance Mansion.

But the most important thing is the negotiation chief and deputy envoys.

…

The imperial edict of the Tang Dynasty is like this!

"By decree, Zhongshu Sheng, half a month ago, there was a great victory in the northwest. I, the warriors of the Tang Dynasty, worked very hard to snipe the troops marching south from the grassland on the border. We killed 500,000 in formation, captured 1.5 million, and captured another 400,000 bullocks. There are more than 500,000 Turkic war horses, and this battle will be a great victory..."

This bragging is a bit outrageous!

It is obvious that Datang's victory reporting system has been corrupted.

Ever since Gu Tianya taught a messenger to brag, the entire Tang Dynasty Military Department suddenly discovered that this bragging method is really effective. As long as a battle is won, bragging can definitely stimulate the people's hearts, so it has formed a habit. Every time there is a victory, It will definitely be reported to the big news.

It is clear that the formation killed 50,000 people, but in the victory, it became 500,000.

In fact, the number of prisoners was only 50,000, but the heads of the Ministry of War directly exaggerated it to 150,000.

In addition, there were captured Turkic oxen and Turkic war horses that were barely usable after the war. There were only 40,000 to 50,000 in number, but the number of victories increased tenfold.

Everyone in the court knew very well that the Han family in the Central Plains had been bullied by the grassland for too long, and they really needed a great victory to boost the people's morale. Therefore, whether it was the boss of the Ministry of War or the Li family, everyone was interested in this boasted victory. Express approval.

That's why I wrote such a scary number at the beginning of the imperial edict.

But the real content of the imperial decree lies behind!

"In this great victory, the Han family was completely victorious. They first attacked the Turkic invading soldiers, and then destroyed the Turkic puppet Liang State. What's more, they captured the grassland Khan. With such a great victory, the Han family will surely make the grassland surrender to the prime minister for talks. Therefore, because In this way, I am specially appointed..."

Next is a long list of appointments, all of which are official positions for participating in the Turkic negotiation mission.

…

[Negotiation Leader]: Prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin;

[Negotiation leader]: Pingyang husband-in-law, Gu Tianya.

There are two ambassadors in total!

Gu Tianya is among them!

As expected, the appointment of the chief envoys was indeed Li Shimin and Gu Tianya, whom everyone had guessed. The war with the Turks was a joint war between the Tang Dynasty Tiance Mansion and the Hebei Detachment of Women. Since they had contributed, they would definitely get benefits.

Although some people are quite critical of Gu Tianya being able to co-lead the envoy with Li Shimin, more people can calm down and ponder the secret... The Li family wants to support a relative to become a city wall in the north of Yongzhen. .

Since this is the factor, it is not outrageous for Gu Tianya to become the chief envoy.

In fact, the officials don't care about the position of the negotiation leader, because everyone knows that the two positions of the leader are not occupied by outsiders. What really makes everyone depressed is that the next position is unsatisfactory.

[Left Deputy Negotiator]: Wang Si, Cui Yixuan, Zheng Huairen, Li Maoshu, Cui Yiyu, Li Xiaofeng.

Of the five surnames of the Tang Dynasty, there are only six left. The Fan Yang Lu family once colluded with Liang Shidu of the Liang Kingdom and wanted to use highly poisonous mushrooms to assassinate the pregnant Li Xiuning. As a result, the incident came to light and everyone was concerned about it. Half a year ago, the great clan leader was massacred overnight. It was said that he encountered horse thieves of unknown origin, but everyone knew that it was the work of Gu Tianya and Li Shimin.

Now there are only six families left in the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, representing the interests of the World Family Alliance, so they have won six deputy negotiation envoy positions, and the slightly more important left deputy envoy position.

Since there is a left deputy envoy, there must be a right deputy envoy. In fact, there was no need to go to such trouble, but this time the Aristocratic Family and Tiance Mansion were fighting too fiercely, so they could only set up two teams of negotiating deputy envoys, one on the left and one on the right.

[Right Deputy Negotiator]: Changsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian, Xu Shiji.

There are also six people, all of whom are big bosses from Tiance Mansion. Although the current official positions of these six people are not high, everyone knows that they will be promoted rapidly soon. This Turkic negotiation is a good opportunity. It was purely an opportunity for these two people to gain fame.

…

The Aristocratic Family and Tiance Mansion had two teams of deputy envoys negotiating, one on the left and the other on the right. This was already cumbersome enough, but no one expected that there would be a team of deputy envoys.

And he is also a more powerful lieutenant-general.

[Deputy envoys during negotiations]: Cheng Chumo, Li Chongyi, Tan Xiao, Lu Zhaolin, Wang Bo, Fang Yiai.

After the names of the six people in the imperial edict were read out, there was almost an uproar and chaos in the whole place. Some people were dumbfounded, and some were dissatisfied. Only those big bosses who got the news in advance would secretly let out a helpless sigh in their hearts. Feeling.

"The disciples of the Gu family are so lucky. These six little guys are almost enjoying their fame... Just because they have a good master, they don't need to worry about their future at all. With their master strategizing, everything is given to them. The paving is complete, alas, Gu Tianya, Gu Tianya, he is truly the most protective Gu Tianya in the world."

…

It's a pity that no matter how much you lament, the position of deputy negotiator for the six disciples of the Gu family has not gone away, and no one dares to take it, so you can only secretly envy and hate him.

Why do you feel envious and jealous?

Just look at the errands of the young people of your generation.

[Negotiation writers]: Cui Zhai, Wang Lingyun, Zheng Guanyu, Cui Tanzhi, Li Youran, Li Youyun, Wang Linghao...

There are more than fifty people with densely packed names.

These people are all young elites, among them are the six young masters of the Five Surnames and Qi Wang. However, they are such a group of young elites, and they can only serve as the pen bearers in the negotiations.

What is an envoy? To put it bluntly, he is a handyman! He is mainly responsible for communicating with the envoys from the Turks and engaging in verbal quarrels over some trivial matters.

Even such a small job has caused the younger generation to fight over it. The more than fifty names written in the imperial edict almost represent more than fifty top forces in the entire Tang Dynasty, including those from aristocratic families. The younger generation, as well as the younger generation in Tiance Mansion.

However, even with such a powerful background, they can only watch with envy and hatred. Obviously they are all of the younger generation, so why did the six of them, Cheng Chumo, become the deputy negotiators? Moreover, they are deputy envoys in the negotiations, and their power is even higher than that of the left Envoy and right envoy.

There is no other way, who can tell me to have a good master?

…

The mission for this Turkic negotiation is generally based on the above plan.

First led by two negotiators, namely Li Shimin and Gu Tianya, then three teams of deputy negotiators, each representing the interests of one party, and finally a group of negotiators representing the interests of more families.

The negotiator generally does not speak, and is mainly responsible for showing off, euphemistically called holding the line.

Negotiating deputy envoys also don't speak too much. Only when they are competing for large-scale interests will they really get started.

Therefore, the most important thing in the negotiations is that the envoys are talking.

As one of the leaders this time, Gu Tianya must give some tips to the negotiators before setting off. Although he is very young, he does not have stage fright at the moment. Instead, he stands in front of the crowd with his hands behind his hands and speaks solemnly.

own ideas.

"Since ancient times, negotiation has always been about knowing oneself and the enemy. Since we are going to talk to the Turks this time, we must first understand everything about the Turks..."
