Chapter 479 Disguise
Li Shimin's face could not be seen to be happy or angry, and he said lightly: "If you can't solve the matter of the envoys from all over the world uniting, I will not pursue this matter. I have been in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a while."
Go to jail?
How could it be possible, no matter the previous life or this life, he has not been in prison yet.
"Your Majesty, if the rewards given to the countries of the Western Regions, Xue Yantuo, and Western Turks are reduced by half, how can they have the time to ask for an increase in rewards? Their alliance was formed temporarily, and some people are missing, and the rest are not enough. For fear."
"Wonderful! Hou Caisi of Jingyang County is quick, I am ashamed of myself." Fang Xuanling thought of Lin Xuan's intention and praised.
All the people present were smart people. Lin Xuan explained it in such detail that they understood it after a little thought.
Lin Xuan's strategy is not complicated to say the least.
In fact, the list of tributes from various countries has already been reported.
The list of rewards given by the Tang Dynasty to various countries was also prepared in advance.
When Dachaohui said it seriously, it was just a formality.
The countries presented the list of gifts to Li Shimin, and after reading it, Li Shimin gave them the list of rewards.
And countries want to jointly propose to increase the reward, it must be after receiving the reward gift list.
At that time, countries in the Western Regions, Xue Yantuo, Western Turks and other countries will definitely protest when they see that the rewards are so much less than in previous years.
And Datang's answer is also very simple. Countries in the Western Regions secretly obstructed Datang from establishing the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and Xue Yantuo and Western Turks sent troops to plunder Datang. Isn't it natural that the rewards were reduced?
Under the head start, the temporary alliance was immediately disintegrated.
After all, they are united for the common good.
Li Shimin thought this method was very good, and seeing that Fang Xuanling also agreed, he said very decisively: "I will leave the matter of Dou Lukuan's reward item list to you, and reduce the rewards of countries in the Western Regions by half, and the rewards of Western Turks and Xue Yantuo by [-]%." .”
"I obey the order." Dou Lukuan stood up and responded.
When leaving the Ganlu Hall, many people praised Lin Xuan a few words.
In fact, Lin Xuan's plan is all right, but the people present are all the elites of this era, why can't they think of it?
It's not that they couldn't think of it, but they didn't think about it.
The generous rewards given to those countries that pay tribute represent the face of the Central Plains dynasty. Who would want to play tricks on it?
The ancient dynasties often had a difficult time for themselves, and they still had to give generous rewards to foreigners.
And no one has come out to stop this kind of thing, which shows that it is not only the emperor who is good-faced, but even the ministers are the same.
"You're really nice, it's the first time I've seen Changsun Wuji's old fox being so popular. Hahaha~ It's really satisfying." Cheng Yaojin patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder and said.
"The old man has been upset with him for a long time, and this time you are helping the old man." Yu Chigong said.
Yu Chigong and Changsun Wuji were at odds with each other, but when Li Tang was established, Yu Chigong made great contributions.
During the change of Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin was saved and Li Yuanji was killed by himself.
It was also he who brought people into the palace and forced Li Yuan to write down an edict to let all the soldiers and horses obey Li Shimin.
In terms of merit, Yu Chigong should be number one for the change of Xuanwu Gate.
However, when it comes to rewards for meritorious deeds, it is true that Yu Chigong and Changsun Wuji are tied for the top merit.
After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, Changsun Wuji overwhelmed him in all aspects.
It was also from that time that Yu Chigong became dissatisfied with Changsun Wuji.
……
Too Hospital
Changsun Wuji was lying on the bed, and the imperial doctor was taking his pulse.
After a long time, the imperial doctor withdrew his hand and said: "Mr. Zhao Guo vomited blood because of shortness of breath. There is nothing serious."
In fact, it is a good thing for Changsun Wuji to vomit blood.
If he doesn't spit it out, he will become depressed and become ill. After a long time, he may have a big problem.
On the contrary, after vomiting blood, although you need to rest for a few days, it is not a bad thing in the long run.
The imperial doctor also knew that Changsun Wuji was angry, so he didn't say anything.
He can't say that it's a good thing for someone to vomit your blood, so you should thank him, right?
"Doctor Zhang, this old man vomits blood. Tell me it's not serious? All the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital serve the royal family. Quack doctors are not suitable to stay here." Changsun Wuji said calmly.
"What Zhao Guogong said is that I just read it wrong. Zhao Guogong vomited blood and hurt his lungs. He needs to rest for a long time before he can slowly recuperate."
Zhang Yuyi has been in the Imperial Hospital for more than ten years, so he naturally understands what Changsun Wuji said.
Those concubines in the palace were a little sick, so the imperial doctor cooperated and exaggerated the illness, trying to arouse Li Shimin's sympathy.
This kind of thing can not only be rewarded by the concubines, but also reveal their medical skills, so they naturally cooperate.
Although I don't know why Changsun Wuji exaggerated his illness, but what does he care?
As an imperial doctor, if you want to live a long life, medical skills are not the most important thing. The most important thing is not to ask what you don't know, not to tell what you shouldn't be told.
"How does the old man look?" Changsun Wuji asked.
Doctor Zhang said: "Duke Zhao Guo's face is extremely pale because of vomiting blood."
Changsun Wuji said: "As long as you don't talk nonsense, I will thank you very much afterwards."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao Guo." Doctor Zhang said.
Of course he understood the threatening meaning in Changsun Wuji's tone, he was used to it all these years.
"The Empress is here!"
"My lord, see the empress." Doctor Zhang hurriedly saluted.
Empress Changsun waved her hands, looked at Changsun Wuji who was lying on the bed, and asked with concern: "Brother, are you alright?"
Changsun Wuji's face was pale, and he said weakly: "I'm not feeling well, I can't salute. I hope the empress will forgive me."
Empress Changsun said with concern on her face: "Why do you still care about those empty etiquette at this time?"
Empress Changsun turned her head and asked, "How is Mr. Zhao?"
"Going back to the Empress, Mr. Zhao Guo was so anxious that he hurt his heart. He needs a long time of quiet recuperation, and the root cause of the disease is likely to remain in the future." Doctor Zhang said.
Empress Changsun said after listening, "No matter what medicinal materials are needed, Zhao Guogong must be cured, understand?"
"I understand, I will go and boil medicine for Zhao Guogong now." Doctor Zhang said.
Empress Changsun waved her hand, motioning for Doctor Zhang to leave.
"Empress, don't worry, I'm fine." Changsun Wuji said weakly.
Seeing Changsun Wuji like this, Empress Changsun couldn't feel relieved, she cried and said, "Lin Xuan is too presumptuous, don't worry, brother, I will definitely let him come to plead guilty to you."
Since she was a child, she and her eldest grandson Wuji depended on each other for life, and her eldest grandson Wuji was like a brother like a father to her, but Lin Xuan was her son-in-law, so it was very embarrassing for her to be caught in the middle.
When Changsun Wuji heard what Empress Changsun said, he almost vomited blood again.
Isn't he pretending to be sick to make Lin Xuan punished?
Empress Changsun said that asking Lin Xuan to plead guilty to him seemed good, but it was actually useless.
In any case, he is considered Lin Xuan's 'elder', when Lin Xuan comes to plead guilty, will he forgive him or not?
Forgive him, he was upset.
If you don't forgive, others will say that he is small-minded.
"Empress, you don't need to let him come to plead guilty. I'm afraid you will be mad at him." Changsun Wuji said.
When Empress Changsun heard what Changsun Wuji said, Lin Xuan's anger deepened in her heart.
"Don't worry, brother, I will go to His Majesty and I will give you an explanation." Empress Changsun said.
