When they heard that King Qin of the Tang Dynasty had returned to Chang'an, the news alone made the envoys from various countries living in Chang'an feel like they had been given a shot of chicken blood, and they lined up to send them to King Qin's Village.
However, Ludongzan from Tufan had a different idea.
"Prime Minister, the people of the Tang Dynasty must be nervous about the Silk Road. His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty also came back for this matter."
"Prepare gifts. Since the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty has said that King Qin of the Tang Dynasty is responsible for foreign negotiations, let's see what the King of Qin has to say about the marriage."
The first person Li Yuanxing met was Ni Shu, in the small living room of Qin Wangzhuang.
"Excessive kindness has cost you tens of thousands of lives!" Li Yuanxing accused him as soon as he came in.
Nishu did not retort: "I'm here to ask for help. I don't want to fight this war any longer. If we, the Western Turks, continue to fight like this, once winter comes, there will be countless casualties. Nearly 100,000 people have lost their homes now. My
My subordinates have already piled up more than 10,000 graves!"
"Adjust, send troops, or defeat them completely."
"Everything is in accordance with the instructions of His Highness the King of Qin." Ni Shu is a bachelor this time. Last time he didn't listen to Li Yuanxing's advice. If he had become the Great Khan himself, there might not have been civil strife in the Western Turks. The current Great Khan cannot accept it at all.
If the people are not convinced, there will naturally be war.
"You go back and integrate the Western Turks. Several people will die soon."
After hearing what Li Yuanxing said, Ni Shu immediately picked up a pen on the desk next to him and wrote a letter. The letter did not leave a date. He just said that he had sent people to assassinate who, and then listed the names and was willing to accept the big names.
Tang was willing to mediate the truce and accept the accusation of assassination.
Li Yuanxing also wrote a note.
"Go back. Before you go back, you will receive 30,000 war knives from the Ministry of War. This is my current support for you. Finally, you should know that the little Khan Tuli is very rich now. Why is he rich? This should not be a secret.
"
Ni Shu was a little hesitant. Although he chose to surrender, it did not mean that he was willing to let the Western Turks charge forward for the Tang Dynasty.
But he couldn't help but consider Li Yuanxing's words, so he had to bow: "His Royal Highness, King Qin, please allow me to go back and discuss it with the elders!"
"I'm not in a hurry!" Li Yuanxing picked up the teacup and took a slow sip of water.
Ni Shu left. Pei Xi came to Li Yuanxing and said, "Your Highness, the Tufan people have brought some gifts. There is five thousand taels of gold on the gift list, which is said to be a gift to the Tang Dynasty."
Li Yuanxing hesitated for a moment: "Take him to the Qinling Villa. I will meet him there."
Qinling Villa was specially built by Wu Zhao to show his wealth. It was just for Li Lanshan to see. This place is usually cleaned every day, but the time spent here is too little. No one may come here even once a month.
, so it seems more and more quiet here.
Tufan's guests were blocked from the door.
"We are envoys from Tufan!" Lu Dongzan glared at the soldiers blocking the road.
A thin young captain walked over from the side: "This is the courtyard of King Qin of the Tang Dynasty. Only three of you can enter. The rest retreat to the waiting area at the main entrance of Qinwangzhuang. Remember to pass by the side path to avoid damage.
If you remove any flowers and plants, you are disrespecting the Qin Palace. Anyone who enters the other courtyard should put their weapons here and let us inspect them before entering."
"You..." The deputy next to Lu Dongzan only said one word, and was knocked unconscious by a guard next to him with a stick. Except for the guards with sticks, there were not even any soldiers standing guard nearby.
Turn your eyes sideways.
"If you want to challenge the dignity of the Tang Dynasty and the majesty of our King Qin, just come. Otherwise, those who insist on being tough when they can't resist will only be laughed at. I'll give you twenty breaths to make your choice.
, according to the rules, or..." The captain did not say what the consequences would be.
Ludong sighed in admiration and placed his sword, dagger, and dagger on the shelf next to him.
The two people who followed him in were one of his guards and the other was a person who was very proficient in Chinese. The rest of the people followed the way they came and retreated to the main entrance of Qin Wangzhuang. It was five or six miles from here to the main entrance. Since the main entrance was
Even if they don't resist, they have no choice but to obey orders.
At this moment, Lu Dongzan asked: "If I don't agree, won't I be able to see King Qin?"
"To be precise, you people won't be able to see the sun tomorrow!"
Lu Dongzan was choked severely, but he had nothing to say to refute. If he wanted to protest, he should do so to the real authority, not to a mere soldier.
Therefore, when Lu Dongzan entered the living room, when he saw Li Yuanxing sitting in the seat reading a book, he said loudly: "How can you Tang people be so rude? I am the envoy of Tufan and represent Tufan."
Come for alliance!"
Li Yuanxing nodded slightly and glanced at Lu Dongzan, then his eyes returned to the book.
Qiuxiang, who was standing next to Li Yuanxing, said at this time: "You can slap twenty, otherwise it will be regarded as a declaration of war on the Tang Dynasty. The Qin Palace has ordered that anyone who dares to declare war on the Tang Dynasty will fly to fight and turn the enemy's capital into a sea of fire."
A sign of divine punishment!”
Qiuxiang used the word "God's Punishment", which made Lu Dongzan shudder.
The flying boat flew around Chang'an all day long, transporting goods and carrying people. He had never seen it up close, but he had seen it countless times in Chang'an and asked about whether this kind of flying boat was classified as civilian.
There are two kinds: civilian use and military use. The civilian use is used to carry people and cargo, but no one mentioned the military use even half a word.
When he thought of a flying boat that could fly in the sky, Lu Dongzan had no doubt that this thing could fly directly over the capital of Tufan and drop flammable objects. It could set fire to the capital and ignore all the checkpoints. This was true.
It is a weapon of war.
Zhang Zui, no matter what you say, you are still an envoy of Tufan.
While hesitating, Qiuxiang took a step forward: "Where are the Guards? It's time."
Bang! Lu Dongzan slapped himself.
"Is there anyone standing at the palm of your hand?" Qiuxiang said coldly.
Lu Dongzan glanced at Li Yuanxing. The King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty was still sitting there steadily, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him. Lu Dongzan was afraid. King Qin of the Tang Dynasty was a ruthless man. On this point, various states around him
The rumors naturally become more terrifying the more they are told.
Once you kneel down, you have already lost both in terms of momentum and mentality.
After two slaps, Li Yuanxing raised his hand slightly, and Qiuxiang immediately said: "That's all, Your Highness. It is enough to show repentance. After all, he is also an envoy of a country. Just remember that the Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette.
Remember to be polite at all times, barbaric behavior will be laughed at by others."
Lu Dongzan's face turned green. It's you who beat people, and it's you who scare us. And it's you who talk about etiquette.
"His Royal Highness has ordered that I am a guest from afar. Please take a seat and serve me some refreshments!"
From the beginning to now, Li Yuanxing has not said a word, but is reading with a book in his hand. Lu Dongzan is far away, and he does not know what book Li Yuanxing is holding.
"Your Highness, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, I, Tufan, offer you five thousand taels of gold and one hundred treasures. I am willing to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty and ask for peace. I..."
Before Lu Dongzan finished speaking, Qiuxiang asked at Li Yuanxing's signal: "Are these gifts a gift for diplomatic relations between the two countries, or a gift for marriage?"
When asked, Lu Dongzan was stunned. He saw from the records of his predecessors that when he brought a gift of five thousand, what he got back was worth at least twenty thousand. When did the people of the Tang Dynasty become the same as businessmen?
But he still had to answer this question.
"His Royal Highness, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, this is just a gift. If the Tang Dynasty agrees to the marriage, Tufan will prepare another gift like this. Of course, there will be more treasures!"
Li Yuanxing stood up: "Do you know how much the gift is for my Seventh Emperor brother to marry the Princess of Silla? You are only five thousand taels of gold, but you have the nerve to shout out in front of me, you want to see the gold, I have it in my warehouse
There are millions of kilograms of gold, and your mere five thousand taels of gold is like a small bag of rice in a granary, and I have no interest in it."
"An alliance is naturally for the benefit of both countries?" Lu Dongzan said loudly.
"I don't know, what can Tufan bring to the Tang Dynasty? You want to learn craftsman skills, literature, painting, etc. from the Tang Dynasty. But I don't know what you Tufan can bring to the Tang Dynasty. What qualifications do you have to compete with the Tang Dynasty?
Tang talks about forming an alliance. In other words, does the Tang Dynasty need an ally like you?"
There was a joking smile in Li Yuanxing's tone.
Lu Dongzan breathed a long sigh of relief, as long as we talked, there would be a chance.
"His Royal Highness, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, has formed an alliance with me, Tufan, to ensure the security of the southwest of the Tang Dynasty and the security of the Silk Road of the Tang Dynasty. Our Tufan Society will send elites to protect these two sides. There are hundreds of people in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty.
The Yue people caused rebellion, the Silk Road of the Tang Dynasty, the Western Turks, and cannibalism all affected the security of this Silk Road."
"Interesting, this is really interesting." Li Yuanxing smiled.
Lu Dongzan became more confident and continued: "Since the noble King Qin of the Tang Dynasty thinks it is interesting, it is necessary to continue the discussion. In fact, we in Tufan still have many special products that can be traded with the Tang Dynasty, and we can bring Tianzhu to
Ship the goods to Datang for trading!"
"First, we in the Tang Dynasty are already trading with the people of Tianzhu. Second, the goods in the Tang Dynasty are not even enough for our own use, and we are not interested in the Silk Road. The Silk Road was brought to the Tang Dynasty by merchants from the Western Regions to seek profits. Their deaths and injuries are not the same as those in the Tang Dynasty.
Tang has nothing to do with it. Third, if you are interested, you can stay here for a few more days. King Baiyue will soon be taken to Chang'an as a prisoner."
While Li Yuanxing was speaking, he had already taken a few steps forward.
"I have no interest in forming an alliance with Tufan. There is no real benefit. You are not even qualified to serve as a vassal of the Tang Dynasty. The alliance is simply a joke!"
"I have brave men in Tufan!" Lu Dongzan was really irritated. He thought that the young King of Qin in front of him was completely teasing him and the whole of Tufan.
Li Yuanxing looked indifferent: "Warrior, how many people you brought to Chang'an are they all real warriors?"
"Three thousand!" Lu Dongzan said through gritted teeth, "They are all real warriors of Tufan!"
Li Yuanxing smiled slightly and sat down again, Qiu Xiang clapped his hands gently. A row of maids walked out from the back hall, each one of them was beautiful, wearing silk dresses of various colors.
"Ignorant Tufan people, these are the dancing girls of His Highness the King of Qin. You can choose three of them at will, and they will be enough to defeat your three thousand warriors. Or within the Qin Palace, ordinary maids can choose three of them. High-class
