    Chapter 102 Negotiation Li Xian finally gave in.  .  .  Zhang Shuo walked out of Chang'an City, but now his identity has changed, from the minister of defense of Chang'an to the minister of peace negotiation.  Wang Hua led him into the tent, which was filled with sumptuous banquets.  A large pot of roe deer meat, after using lemongrass to remove the smell, add cumin and wild mushrooms and stir-fry.  A pot of stewed sand badger.  There are also several pots of stir-fried poultry.  A lamb was roasting on the fire rack.  There is also a large long basin with a half-human length steamed tiger grinning fish.  A big pot of pickled baby fish soup that looks disgusting but is actually delicious.  Nearly a dozen kinds of precious meat dishes.  There are also several pots of wild seasonal vegetables, with lotus root tubes thicker than a thumb, white and tender, with a layer of white sugar sprinkled on top.  A plate of small wild rice with a few shredded red peppers looks very tempting.  Zhang Shuo asked curiously: "What are you doing?" Wang Hua was also annoyed. This time we really negotiated terms. The big ones must be fought for, and the small ones are let go. For example, if the imperial envoy comes from the imperial court, he can no longer be ignored.  , treat me well.  That is why I gave this order, and as a result, a group of boys, who ran in the mountains, flew in the sky, and swam in the water, were captured together. They even captured an iron-gritting beast.  When Wang Hua heard what an iron-gnawing beast was, his men lived up to their expectations. In order to ensure that the food was fresh, they knocked it unconscious and carried it back with a pole.  Wang Hua was dumbfounded when he saw it. It turned out that the so-called iron-gnawing beast was a giant panda.  There are giant pandas in the Qinling Mountains, are they also found in the Zhongnan Mountains?  Although he didn't mind eating these rare animals, such as the giant salamander, the pot of black swan meat in the middle, the pot of civet, the giant salamander, and the tiger fish that later became almost extinct.  ¡°But seeing the giant panda look so cute, he won¡¯t feast on it.  Immediately ask your men to carry it back to its original place and release it.  Of course, the real drama is yet to come. Zhang said that coming here this time is just a preview of the big meal.  Wang Hua replied: "I heard that Minister Zhang rarely rested in Chang'an City during this period. He was so busy that he didn't even think about eating. Since you are here, as a friend, I will treat you well." Zhang said with an old face.  Hong, I have been very busy during this period, but I was busy preparing to deal with the blood camp.  "But I can't say this, but what's the purpose of Wang Hua's extravagance and waste?"  He thought suspiciously.  Everyone sat down. In addition to Wang Hua and Zhang Shuo, there were also more than a dozen important generals from the Blood Camp such as Guo Zhiyun. The soldiers brought a jar of wine.  Wang Hua patted the mud that sealed the altar dry and filled everyone's wine bowls.  After pouring, I toasted.  Zhang said he took a big sip with all his heart, but something strange happened again. The wine was red. He thought it was wine at first, but when he drank it, something went wrong in his mouth. It was several times more mellow than wine, and had a bit of sweet and sour taste.  The taste and texture are very good.  He pointed to the wine bowl and said: "What kind of wine is this." "Mare kumiss." "Mare kumiss?" "It has juice squeezed out of grapes." No wonder, but Zhang said he didn't even know what Wang Huahu was selling.  medicine.  After three rounds of wine and five dishes, we started to talk about business.  Zhang said after looking at the generals, Wang Hua understood and asked them to retreat.  Zhang Shuo opened his mouth and said: "Wang Shilang, this time I am here to negotiate terms with you." He just said a word and was interrupted by Wang Hua.  "Shilang Zhang, have you forgotten what I said to you? I don't want to be like Liu Yu. Liu Yu's northern expedition to Luo and Wei was just to increase his political capital. What he carried was justice, but what he did was to pursue his own interests. And I  What we are doing now is to deal with powerful enemies with peace of mind, eliminate hidden dangers on the border, and welcome back the insulted princess. The court was not guilty of murdering the minister in the first place, but now it is the court who is guilty of treason. I wonder if Mochu would have been able to do so.  Escape safely? If it hadn't been for the imperial court, would I have taken back all the Zishan Mountains? "This is a very strong and unreasonable statement. The southernmost time China was on the roof of the world was the Sui Dynasty, and the south was from Jishi Mountain.  Starting from there, all the way to Baihai, and then Kunlun Mountain.  At one time Tuyuhun had professed its vassalage to the Tang Dynasty, and this area barely belonged to the Tang Dynasty. Later, with the rise of Tubo, the Tang Dynasty was reduced to Hequ and Kuoshan prefectures.  As for Wang Hua, it is not that bright and beautiful, but it is not as bad as some people in the court said.  But this sentence was clearly a very bad signal. Just as Zhang said he was about to speak, he was interrupted again by Wang Hua. He pressed his hand to stop him from interrupting and continued: "And Mr. Zhu also said that every time  Once the court ignores the country and the people, our conditions will improve. One more thing, I don't want to talk to you. If I want to talk, I will only identify any one of the three people. " "Then.  Three people?" Zhang Shuo said in his heart, "Don't you come with me?"?That's right, I don't want to do this errand either.  But are those three people important to Wang Hua?  "Wei Wen, Wei Sili, Wei Juyuan." "Why?" Zhang Shuo screamed.  Do you want them to come to negotiate, or do you want to take the opportunity to retaliate?  "Shilang Zhang, I have told you that so many warriors were born this time, and they all died innocently. It was the first time to kill me from the court, it was the second time to cut off my food, and it was the third time for Zongchang and Zongchang to send troops.  Three times, this time it's like summoning soldiers to attack. This is the fourth time. If there is nothing more than three, please don't interfere with this matter. " "Your Majesty, please stop.  I also have regrets. " "Oh, why are you so stupid? It's not only for your own good, but also for the good of our blood camp." "The conditions will definitely escalate," Zhang said. No matter what the outcome is, it will make people happy.  Impeach.  Not letting him interfere was for Zhang Dao's sake.  Moreover, Zhang said that after negotiations, there was no effect. After returning, the minister would still disagree.  Only when three Wei Xianggongs came to negotiate could the agreement be carried forward.  Zhang said that after thinking for a while, he immediately understood.  Wang Hua stood up to see off the guests and said: "In five days, within these five days, we will capture Ziwu Pass, Luogu Pass, and Kugu Pass. After five days, if the court does not reply, we will officially  Attack Chang'an City." "No." "Why not? Can the imperial court wait for a month or two to catch a turtle in a jar?" Zhang said that it was true.  , although the imperial court agreed to negotiate peace, the armies of King Qin from all over the country came continuously on the road. However, except for a few generals, most of them were afraid of the fighting power of the blood camp and deliberately delayed on the road.  But if it drags on for a long time, it will definitely be very detrimental to the blood camp.  Seizing the Three Passes is equivalent to cutting off the connection between Hanzhong and Chang'an, and at the same time removing the threat behind the Blood Camp.  Capturing three levels is very reasonable from the perspective of blood camp.  Zhang said he was so frustrated that he couldn't get up from his seat.  After a while, he asked again: "Let me ask you, what is the biggest crisis in our Tang Dynasty?" Wang Hua looked surprised and stared at Zhang.  Zhang said his face turned red again. Li Dan and his son were now in Chang'an. Li Longji had paid him a special visit. He spoke highly of him and the two had a great conversation.  Li Longji asked these two questions.  After he returned to Chang'an City, he reported the matter to his father and Princess Taiping. However, he was afraid that they would have any ideas, so he changed the name Wang Hua said to you.  Li Dan and Princess Taiping immediately began to think about the answer, what is a good emperor?  ??Although there have been many emperors since the beginning of written records, there were not many good emperors.  Qin Shihuang can only be said to be an accomplished emperor. Without him, there would be no true unification of China. It might still be like what Wang Hua said about the European continent where heroes have been fighting endlessly for thousands of years.  But he was certainly not a good emperor. He opened mountains, dug canals, built the Great Wall, paved roads, built mausoleums, and built palaces, all of which made the people miserable.  Liu Bang can be considered an accomplished emperor, but during his reign, he was busy pacifying various kings with different surnames, and he seemed to have nothing to do with being a good emperor.  Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also an accomplished emperor who displayed the dignity and majesty of the Han people. However, he was tortured, ambitious, obsessed with great achievements, wasted money and wasted money, was bisexual, and deposed soldiers. He was not a good emperor.  In fact, counting comes and goes, small countries and vassal states cannot be counted, and there are only a handful of truly good emperors. Wenjing of the Han Dynasty governed the country with inaction and frugality, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was kind to the people, Guangwu of the Han Dynasty governed the country with lenience, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty governed the country with diligence,  Next came Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who was characterized by employing people based on their strengths and obeying advice.  But after thinking about it carefully, Wang Hua also gave three hints when he mentioned this problem, that loyalty is like a traitor, that Webster interferes in politics, and that he thought of the reasons but not the solution.  Such a comparison shows that none of the above emperors are the same. If it were that simple, just follow it. It is impossible that Wang Hua could not think of a solution.  The most important difference between these two questions is that as long as the first question is answered without any solution, Wang Hua will support it unconditionally.  The second question is to consider sexual support, which should be very difficult.  This makes everyone feel confused.  The second question came to mind, the biggest crisis of the Tang Dynasty.  There are several aspects to the Tang Dynasty.  The first one is border troubles, whether they are Tibetans or Turks, they have always made the Tang Dynasty unstable.  They fought and rebelled. For example, Tuyuhun was defeated, but now he has become a pawn of the Tibetans.  Another example is the Northern Turks. After defeating Jieli Khan, Xue Yantuo rose to power.  After the death of Xue Yantuo, the brothers Guduulu and Mochuo rose to power again.  But this is not the biggest crisis. The blood camp is fighting silently and hiding.The Tubo River was secretly weeping. The situation in Tubo was even worse. It lost more than 200,000 troops, and also lost Jishi Mountain and Dafeichuan. In fact, it was more than that. Dafeichuan only reached Wuhai in the south and Wuhai in the west.  To Qinghai, even the west side of Qinghai has become the racecourse of the Tang Dynasty.  So they were just border troubles, and those who suffered were only the people on the border, and had nothing to do with the biggest crisis of the Tang Dynasty.  ?Then it¡¯s internal. There are many internal drawbacks. The biggest drawback is the increase in households running away. The biggest reason for this is the increase in population and lack of land.  In fact, everyone is embarrassed to say that if Wang Hua can hand over the land in his hands, not to mention the distant American continent, even Oceania, he can settle many people.  But the current situation is that if Wang Hua doesn't pay, the court will not let the people flow to Oceania.  The entanglement here can be solved, but it is still not the biggest crisis.  The next step is the corruption of the military system. The combat effectiveness of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty is far less than before. If it were the early Tang Dynasty, would Wang Hua dare to be so arrogant?  However, Blood Camp tells everyone through a living example that soldiers are part of the army, and good generals are even more part of it.  Good generals can lead to good soldiers. Look at what Blood Camp looked like before. Wasn't it still a farmer, a worker, and a herdsman?  So what will it be?  I couldn¡¯t think of it, so I had to ask people who were familiar with Wang Hua, such as Zhang Shuo, or Zhang Jiazhen, the Song Dynasty in the distance.  These people are all good people, with good memories and quick reactions. Let's see if Wang Hua left any clues when he talked to them before.  When Zhang Shuo heard it at first, he thought the problem was very simple. Zhuge Liang said a lot about how to be a good king in "The Preface to the Master", and Li Shimin's "Emperor Model" was even more eloquent.  But after listening to Li Longji's next explanation, Zhang said he was confused.  Wang Hua really had a lot of conversations with him, although his friendship with Wang Hua was not as good as that of Song Dynasty and Old Wei.  But when he thought about it, it was not the answer.  So now that Wang Hua started to drive away the guests, Zhang Shuo asked boldly.  Wang Hua gave Zhang Shuo a meaningful look.  Compared with Zhu Wei, Zhang Shuo is considered a clean figure, upright and fierce in character. At the same time, his other specialty, which is good at military affairs, has not yet been fully utilized.  However, he is still far different from Yao and Song. He is narrow-minded, has a bad temper, and will be humiliated if he is slightly unhappy.  This is very similar to Xiao Yu before.  In addition, there is a fatal flaw, which is easy to be bribed.  Therefore, with his character, it is reasonable to serve his future master and test himself.  But it's not too bad, and I know I'm embarrassed. After asking, my face looked a little uneasy.  "Shilang Zhang, you are in the limelight right now, so why bother to add to it. Remember my words, when the cunning rabbit is gone, the lackeys will cook it, and the hunting bow will hide it. Gold will shine sooner or later, there is no need to put yourself on the top of the wave. This is  This is the original meaning of being clear and philosophical, to protect one's own body, and to work tirelessly day and night, to serve one person.  , later people extended it to mean being wise and protecting yourself, and it became a derogatory term.  In fact, the original meaning is to be able to understand good and evil, to keep one's moral character and oneself free from pollution and harm, to be a subordinate, to serve one's superiors diligently, and to perform one's duties.  "The Book of Changes" also said in the Dun Gua that a gentleman should stay away from villains and should not be evil but be strict.  This hexagram also talks about a villain who is far away, but it is not purely a wise man who protects himself, because there is a word "strict". Its true meaning is that when the villain gains power, the gentleman retreats, wisely protects himself, and waits for an opportunity to save the world.  Wang Hua used this sentence very implicitly, meaning that now is not the time for you to officially take refuge with Li Longji, and there is no need to do so. Moreover, he has been on the top of the wave recently, and there is no reason to cause some trouble.  .  If you want to be a good minister, you should not participate in the major events of abolishing and establishing the monarch, because it is flattering in itself and goes beyond your duties.  Moreover, while he was helping Li Xian to be a wise king under the banner, he was secretly secretly working with Li Longji. If it were leaked, what would others think?  It's not just about one person.  Zhang said his face turned red again after hearing this.  He cupped his hands and said, "Teach me something." He immediately walked away.  After returning, he told Li Xian Wang Hua's request on a fast horse. He didn't say any conditions. He only said that Wang Hua would not negotiate with him now. If he wanted to negotiate, he could only choose one of the three Wei.  Li Xian called the ministers in and talked about the matter. Wei Wen immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you must not do it." "Why not? Now the Blood Camp is attacking the three levels. The Blood Camp will not retreat for a day, and the world is in chaos.  "Aren't you the prime minister of the DPRK?" "Your Majesty, he doesn't want peace talks at all. He still wants to continue rebellion under the guise of peace talks." "Then you mean to continue fighting with the Blood Camp?" Wei Wen couldn't answer.  ? ???Anshi glanced at this distant brother in his family with disgust, and cursed in his heart, you stupid pig, he actually said such a thing, and the emperor stopped questioning him.  He said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's a pity that he doesn't want me to go, otherwise I would be willing to serve the court." In fact, with the development of the situation, he now knows very well that if he does not plead, it is possible that even the entire Wei family will be affected by these things.  Drag people into the water.  "I said it very sincerely, but it didn't mean I didn't say it.  But at this time Wei Juyuan looked at Wei Anshi and said with an idea: "Your Majesty, let me go." In fact, he is the only one among the three Wei who can go. Wei Wen, Wei Sili and Wang Hua have not handed over, and if there is a handover, it will only be after he takes office.  , became hostile.  Wei Sili was in Wu Zetian's time, because the Wei family and Wang Hua were in their honeymoon period at that time, so they didn't have much contact, but the impression was not bad.  So Wei Juyuan came to the Blood Camp. It was already the fourth day. Even though he was over seventy years old, Wei Juyuan used the fastest carriage to rush to Chang'an City day and night.  It was a great hospitality again, even more sumptuous than the banquet Zhang mentioned.  This made Wei Juyuan feel at ease a little, and then they negotiated terms. Li Xian agreed to let Wang Hua worry about the governor of Lingzhou, Jiedu Ling, Yan, Xia, Yin, Feng, Sheng, Yuan, Lan, Hui, He, Lin, Shan.  , Die, Tao, Jishi, Xiu and Lanchi Dudufu (Liuhu Prefecture) 17 states military and civil affairs, in addition to distribute 500 coins, 5 million stones of grain, 5 million pieces of cotton cloth and 5 million liters of vegetable oil to  The people of the eight states.  It was exactly cut in half, but it was still a large amount. In addition, the surrender of Linxia and other Kyushu also showed that the court had great sincerity this time.  But there were several conditions. The first one was that Ma Zheng must be handed over to the imperial court for management, but Yan Zheng voluntarily gave up.  The trade pass on the Silk Road must be taxed by imperial officials, but other taxes are automatically ignored.  In fact, in the past, including military expenditures, the imperial courts in these dozen states had been subsidizing them.  But this money didn't save much. Even in the future, troops will be sent to Minwei and other states, and there may even be many soldiers stationed, but it will not be as obvious as this time to target the blood camp.  At the same time, business was carried out in accordance with the court's practice, that is, the eight states had commercial rights, and they could mobilize food and materials to the eight states themselves, and sell the products from the eight states to various parts of the Tang Dynasty. However, according to the rules, it was not counted within the eight states.  When you leave the eight states, you also have to pay customs and commercial taxes.  This condition is not excessive.  The last step was to hand over the prisoners of war and allow the imperial court to send officials to jointly govern the eight states and counties.  In addition, troops must not be sent to other states in the Tang Dynasty without any reason in the future.  In fact, the so-called joint governance is just a cover-up. What can the officials sent there manage?  Who will listen?  The latter one is also necessary. Otherwise, if troops are sent to Chang'an at every turn, will the court be able to feel at ease?  Therefore, this time the court was very sincere.  But after Wang Hua heard this, he immediately sneered: "That's all?"
