I'm a marquis in Datang

ask to see. "

The porter frowned.

This notice is too simple, just an old friend.

But it was just like this, the concierge didn't dare to underestimate him, because on weekdays, even if anyone came to visit Du Ruhui, they were all high-ranking officials, and no one dared to say that they were old friends.You must know that it is really unusual to be an old friend of the Supreme Emperor, so the concierge immediately entered to report.

The concierge went straight to the study, and after seeing Du Ruhui, he told the truth.

When Du Ruhui heard this, he stood up straight away, with a surprised expression on his face, because Fang Xuanling was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he was busy with government affairs, so when would he come to the imperial capital?Du Ruhui was worried about meeting someone with the same name, so he asked again: "Have you seen clearly, what does this person look like, and how old is he?"

The concierge reported: "The Supreme Emperor, the person who came here is about sixty years old, about the same age as you. Although he is dressed in simple clothes, he is not an ordinary person, but a person in a high position. The Supreme Emperor, have you seen him?"

"Please!"

Du Ruhui gave an order immediately.

The concierge turned around and walked out, but just as the concierge reached the door, he heard Du Ruhui say again: "Wait a minute!"

The porter stopped and turned.

Du Ruhui had already walked out, and he said as he walked, "I'll go by myself."

The concierge followed Du Ruhui, feeling horrified.One must know that the concierge has been in the mansion for many years, since Du Ruhui arrived in the imperial capital, he has served as the concierge.For a long time, although there were many people who came to visit Du Ruhui, from the beginning to the end, Du Ruhui never came to greet him in person.Can be like

Today, Du Ruhui actually came out to greet him in person, which is surprising.The concierge was even more fortunate, thanks to his good eyesight, he never offended anyone, if he offended the old man who came here, the consequences would be bad.

Not long after, Du Ruhui came to the door.

Du Ruhui saw Fang Xuanling standing at the gate, and stood still in place for a while.

Two people stared at each other for a long time.

In the past, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling followed Li Shimin, they were Li Shimin's right-hand men, and the two of them were bosom friends, separated for many years, and now when they meet again, they are already old, and half of their bodies are almost buried in the ground.

Fang Xuanling took the lead and said, "I have seen the Supreme Emperor."

Du Ruhui took a step forward, directly took Fang Xuanling's hand, and said, "Brother Fang, why are you and I so alienated. Come on, follow me into the house for a while."

A smile appeared on Fang Xuanling's face.

The address he just called was actually intentional, just to try Du Ruhui and see Du Ruhui's attitude.Now that he heard Du Ruhui's words, Fang Xuanling felt confident, because this was the chance to persuade Du Ruhui to make a move.

The two entered the study and sat opposite each other.

Du Ruhui poured Fang Xuanling a cup of tea and said, "Brother Fang, how have you been doing these years?"

Fang Xuanling said: "Neither the country nor the family has made any contribution, but they are struggling to get by."

Du Ruhui glanced at Fang Xuanling, but sighed: "Brother Fang used to be unparalleled in style and outstanding, but now he is much older. I must have been quite worried these years."

Fang Xuanling sighed: "There is no way to do it. Since you left Chang'an, although the government affairs in the court are running normally, there is nothing to do.

It's as easy as before.With you, everything is different. "

Du Ruhui said: "There is no way to do this. If I don't leave Chang'an, it will be even more troublesome."

After a pause, Du Ruhui looked at Fang Xuanling, and said again: "Brother Fang, you and I both know the basics, and we have worked together for many years, and we know each other's intentions. Now that you have come to the Imperial City suddenly, there must be something wrong. It's important. You have something to do, but it's okay, as long as I can help, I will do my best. Of course, if I can't help, then there's nothing I can do. "

The so-called not going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, Fang Xuanling traveled thousands of miles to the Imperial Capital City, so he must have something to ask for, it cannot be that Fang Xuanling wanted to leave the Tang Dynasty to join the Xia Kingdom.Du Ruhui could play sloppy and avoid Fang Xuanling, but it was not necessary, after all, the relationship between him and Fang Xuanling was unusual, so if you have something to say, just talk about it.

Chapter 1215

understand people

Fang Xuanling restrained her smile, and her expression became serious.

In his heart is emotion.

Du Ruhui was still the Du Ruhui he knew.

Be decisive.

Not sloppy at all.

Fang Xuanling paused for a moment, then said: "I came this time for the truce between Tang Dynasty and Xia Kingdom. Right now, Xia Kingdom's army has broken through Longyou Road and reached Longzhou on the border of Gyeonggi Province. Datang I hope to end the war with the Xia Kingdom, but the Emperor Xia is unwilling. Your Majesty has no choice, so now I can only ask you to come forward, persuade the Emperor Xia, and accept His Majesty's peace request."

Du Ruhui said: "Brother Fang, I have been in Xia Kingdom all these years, and I have never

Interfering in government affairs.The main thing I do in Imperial Capital City is to pamper my grandchildren and tease my grandchildren. Other than that, I rarely even go out of the gate.If you inquire about me, you will definitely know about my affairs in the imperial capital.So now, it is impossible for you to ask me to persuade the emperor! "

Fang Xuanling said: "My virtuous brother, His Majesty really has nothing to do now, that's why I found you, and I hope you will come forward. I know that it must be embarrassing for my virtuous brother to persuade Emperor Xia, after all, it involves the interests of Xia. It will make it difficult for the virtuous brother, and Datang is willing to make concessions, and is willing to admit the territories already occupied by Emperor Xia, which are classified as the territory of Xia Kingdom. In addition, Datang is willing to be a vassal of Xia Kingdom, and is willing to offer sacrifices every year This is His Majesty's condition."

On the way here, Fang Xuanling received the news that Wei Zheng's envoy failed.

Xuanling said that Datang was willing to become a minister.

Du Ruhui was also a little surprised at the moment.

Li Shimin was willing to be a minister.

As Li Shimin's former confidant and adviser, Du Ruhui knew Li Shimin's nature very well.Li Shimin is a truly strong person, and he hides his arrogance deeply.But now, Li Shimin actually arranged for Fang Xuanling to sue for peace.Obviously, Li Shimin has been driven to a desperate situation, if not, Li Shimin would not have to claim peace.

Du Ruhui turned his mind, and in a blink of an eye, he had a judgment in his heart.

He shook his head and said again: "Brother Fang, I'm sorry, I can't do anything about this matter. Because I have never participated in the government affairs of the Xia Kingdom from the beginning to the end. If you ask me to persuade the emperor, I can't do it."

Fang Xuanling persuasively persuaded: "My dear brother, Datang also has your hard work. Don't tell me, are you just watching the collapse of the Tang Dynasty? Your Majesty is already facing internal and external difficulties. It is a situation of internal and external troubles. These years, Hou Jun Ji, Duan Zhixuan, Liu Hongji, Changsun Wuji, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin and others are all dead."

"The Supreme Emperor has also passed away."

"Empress Empress, also passed away."

"The Tang Dynasty is so withered, it is extremely desolate. Now there are Turkic people in the north of the Tang Dynasty, Liaodong Goguryeo in the northeast, and Tubo invading the border in the west. Especially in China, there are countless people who are in trouble."

"The whole Tang Dynasty is in chaos."

Fang Xuanling looked mournful, and said: "The current state of the Tang Dynasty

With a little strength, it is not a threat to Xia Guo.On the contrary, Xia Guo has a chance to destroy Datang at any time.So now, you just give Datang a chance, give His Majesty a chance. "

Du Ruhui also felt Qi Qiran in his heart.

Over the past few years, too many old people have passed away, especially the eldest grandson Wugou.

Du Ruhui sighed: "I can't decide the fate of the Tang Dynasty. Brother Fang, you came to me, and you found the wrong person. I have never participated in the government affairs of the Xia Kingdom from the beginning to the end, and it is useless to persuade the emperor. And the emperor's temperament, as an elder, you I also know that you even watched the emperor grow up. He has always had his own opinions and ideas, and it is impossible to persuade him."

"Datang is now at war with Xia Guo, which involves the confrontation between the two countries.
