Chapter 1218

The emperor thought about it, but he didn't tangle much. He nodded and asked, "did you let the seal book help them plead?"

The prince frowned, "no, I said directly to my father, that is, what do you want them to do?"

The emperor pondered, "who did they find it?"

Yan Li saw it, lowered his eyes and stood aside.

The emperor did not pay attention to his actions and continued to ask, "have you seen their defense when you transfer the Western army?"

"Yes, there are some minor omissions. General Lu has even changed them."

The emperor nodded, "since you've seen it, what do you think of the fighting power of Tubo now?"

Yan Li was stunned, frowned and said, "it's better than it was more than ten years ago, but three years later, Tubo has become a minister to me, your majesty..."

The emperor showed him a letter from the Ministry of rites and said, "there are envoys from Tubo. They said that there was a snow disaster on the grassland this year, so the annual tribute was directly reduced by half."

Yan Li quickly took over.

The emperor said, "I don't want to fight, but if they are ambitious, I'm not afraid. In the past, you led the Western army and guarded the border. You said, how many troops do we need if there is a war on both sides?"

It was not whether they could win, but how many troops they needed. Obviously, the emperor thought they could win.

Yan Li also felt that they would win if they fought, but why did they have to fight?

As Jing Zhaoyin, he knew how big the pit was, so he pushed the pot back to the emperor. "I have left the border for many years and know little about the current military strength of Tubo. Your majesty might as well call Li Shangshu to ask.

War should be discussed with Li Zhen, the Minister of war, and Liu Hui, the Minister of household.

The emperor was a little disappointed because he couldn't get advice from Yan Li, so he waved him back.

As soon as he left, the emperor handed the approved folding to Gu Zhong, especially the one that asked for amnesty to learn from Xiang Ming. He put it on the top, "tell Tang Qing on duty that although the Empress Dowager is ill, her ears and eyes are good. Let them be quiet."

Gu Zhong quickly responded, bent down and was about to step down. The emperor stopped him again, coughed softly and said, "you tell two smart people to go out of the palace and listen to what the outside world says about Xiang's home?"

Yan Li was good at everything, but he spoke plainly and straightforwardly, and kept a straight face. No matter how good the story was, he told it three times first.

Gu Zhong knew it was the emperor who was playing. He immediately raised his voice and bowed down.

As the head of the imperial censor, Lord Tang, of course, heard the stories spread outside, and knew them in more detail than everyone else.

The story was made up and spread by the three children. He burst into laughter when he thought that he had just returned home that day and received a Jianzhou local specialty sent by Zhou man.

From the time the three teenagers came to Beijing to the present, it seems that they didn't come to visit the Tang county magistrate in person. Even if they had been locked up in prison before, their family passed messages through Wei Zhi. They never came to him, let alone give gifts.

Now the dust settled. They came and came. A group of mianzhou came to see him. The father of Yizhou parents turned out to be a local specialty of Jianzhou.

Old Tang took the fold to find Ji Xiang, and took Ji Xiang to find a letter of honor. It happened that the Yamen had not yet gone to the Yamen.

Because a big man reviewed and passed the fold, the fold should have been sent to the Ministry of punishment early the next morning, and it didn't take long for the letter of seal to reach the hand.

Then the fold, which should have been executed the next day, was read by Ji Xiang and old Tang in the letter of seal. After that, he invited Tao Yi, gave the fold to him and said, "let the two people in the prison go."

Tao Yi took it, swept the fold at a glance, and then took a look at Ji Xiang and old Tang, who were sitting drinking tea in the chief's office. He was smart and didn't ask much. He bowed down and thought about it. He invited an errand official to say, "go to Changqing lane, find Bai family, let them pick up people in the prison, and say that his majesty longen has forgiven Xiang Mingxue."

The petty official hurriedly responded.

Tao Yi began to prepare materials and release people in the prison.

If you let someone go, you don't have to go directly to the prison to open the lock. You have to go through the formalities. Why people are locked up and why they are released again should be clearly written down.

When Tao Yi finished writing the documents, other colleagues of the Ministry of punishment went home early. He had to work overtime to the prison. Zhou man and they were squatting on the steps in front of the prison waiting for him.

As soon as I saw him coming, I jumped up and greeted him with a smile.

Tao Yi couldn't help sighing, "it's good to have a relationship. You're comfortable and convenient, but I have to work overtime for you."

Bai Shan immediately said, "Lord Tao, thanks to your care when we were in prison, we brought you some special products of Jianzhou."

Tao Yi's footsteps stopped. He didn't realize that he couldn't accept the gift. He just felt strange, "Jianzhou? Aren't you from mianzhou? "
