"What, you have nothing to say?" Cheng Yaojin folded his arms and looked at Pu Zhizhang with a proud face, as if I was watching your quibbles!
"We...our warships are preparing to transport craftsmen to the cultivation palace!"
Pu Zhizhang quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead and defended himself: "The renovation of His Majesty's palace requires a lot of materials and a lot of labor! Because there are not enough ordinary ships, we collected those warships!"
As soon as this reason came out, even Park Zhizhang himself admired his ability to adapt!
For this reason, it is perfect! Unless you go to the Pyongyang Royal Palace to check it out, whoever comes here will tell you that the palace needs to be renovated!
Furthermore, even if you send people to Pyongyang.
Humph, the Pu family will definitely demolish one or two palaces before this happens...
Thinking of this, Pu Zhizhang didn't panic anymore. He first glanced at Cheng Yaojin, and then suddenly raised his voice and said loudly: "But who would have thought? As soon as they left the port, they discovered that your Tang Dynasty ship was sneaking close to our territory!
They all took up arms and resisted desperately in order to protect their homes and country! Now, they are pitifully killed in the battle, and you Tang people are still slandering them as shameless sneak attackers!"
As he talked, maybe even Pu Zhizhang believed his lies. Then he suddenly got up from the ground, looked excited, and shouted to everyone around him in a hoarse voice:
"Ministers and envoys, please comment! If it was our country's ship that deliberately attacked the Tang Dynasty! Then let me ask! Why was our ship completely destroyed in the end, but the Tang Dynasty was not damaged at all? What kind of sneak attack is this?
?”
"Huh? Yes!"
"It seems that I have never heard that the Tang Dynasty's fleet suffered losses?"
"Could it be that the Tang Dynasty really launched a surprise attack on Goguryeo, and now the evildoers are the first to complain?"
"Humph! That must be the case! Don't be fooled by the apparent benevolence and righteousness of the Tang people! Think of the fate of the Turks and Gaochang..."
Above the main hall, as Pu Zhizhang's voice fell, there was a buzzing discussion immediately, mixed with a few strange snorts.
Most of the people who spoke were foreign envoys who also attended the Great Court Meeting. They were originally anxious because of the strong rise of the Tang Dynasty in recent years. Now that they finally had the opportunity to provide some eye drops to the Tang Dynasty, they were still willing to let go.
Pass?
Moreover, apart from those who fish in troubled waters and those who make trouble, there are still a few people in the crowd who stand out!
As if they had already discussed it, they kept stirring up the emotions of the envoys! Moreover, if someone observes carefully, they can find that when they are making noises, almost without any surprise, they will tacitly agree to speak first.
One person looked around, and when they saw this person nodding silently, they seemed to have taken a reassurance, and started shouting vigorously again.
"Why, the news said that Xiao Han and the others were not injured at all?"
Seeing the envoys in the main hall making noises and questioning one after another, Cheng Yaojin felt a little guilty and turned around carefully to ask Duan Zhixuan.
Hearing this, Duan Zhixuan touched his bare head and replied uncertainly: "It seems that I have never heard of Xiao Han suffering a loss. But having said that, with Xiao Han's quirky character, he seems to have no problem in fighting.
Have you ever suffered a loss?"
After hearing this, Cheng Yaojin said angrily: "Oh! That's what you said! But it seems unjustifiable to sink dozens of other people's ships without being injured at all..."
That's right, when the news of the battle between the Tang Navy and the Goguryeo Navy came back to Chang'an, it only said that the Tang Navy had completely defeated the opponent and the entire Goguryeo Navy had been wiped out!
As for your own losses?
Luo Shixin said that except for a fool on the ship who was accidentally hit by a cannonball when he was loading ammunition and became the only injured soldier in the battle, his ship had no further losses.
As for Zhang Liang's four ships, they indeed suffered heavy losses. Many of Zhang Liang's old subordinates even died in this battle.
However, for some unknown reason, Zhang Liang did not issue a battle damage report. This led to the fact that from the news, the Datang Navy did not suffer any damage.
"Your Majesty! As the Khan of Heaven, you are the common master of the world! You must make decisions for our vassal countries! You must not let the people of the world feel cold!"
While Cheng Yaojin, Duan Zhixuan and others were still whispering there, thinking about how to deal with this problem.
Opposite Park Zhizhang had prostrated himself to the ground again and begged for his life with tears in his eyes!
Moreover, those who prostrated themselves together with him were envoys from around a dozen countries, large and small.
The slogans shouted by these people, without exception, are to severely punish the murderers and seek justice for a vassal country like them!
"Please God Khan, make the decision for us and other vassal countries! Don't let us become fat meat that anyone can slaughter at will!"
Above the main hall, a group of foreign envoys looked excited, shouting that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty should seek justice!
When the surrounding officials of the Tang Dynasty, who had been watching the excitement at first, saw this scene, their expressions became grim.
Among the civil servants, Xue Shou looked at the foreign envoys who were particularly out of their element, his face darkened, and he wanted to march forward as soon as possible!
At this time, he could see that what happened today seemed not as simple as it seemed. There were various signs that there should be an invisible black hand behind it!
The purpose of this black hand is to imitate the way Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty punished Chao Cuo! Using everyone's opinions, he forced the emperor to take action against Xiao Han and others.
"Bo Bao, please wait a little longer!"
Just when Xue Shou was about to step forward, a person next to him stopped him with a smile.
"Who!" Xue Suang frowned and looked up, only to find that the person blocking him was none other than Fang Xuanling from Fang Moududu!
"Master Fang! What do you mean?" Xue Shou stared at Fang Xuanling, his voice getting colder.
Fang Xuanling, however, did not care about Xue Shou's attitude, and still said with a smile: "Bo Bao, please be patient! You, caring is causing chaos! Don't worry, Xiao Han is not Chao Cuo, and Your Majesty is not stupid.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty!
Just these few people, or a group of foreign ministers, want to put on a big show to punish Chao Cuo? What they think is too simple! Besides, that person hasn't spoken yet. He hasn't spoken. Who dares to take advantage of you?
How is this brother-in-law?"
"Who is the person you are talking about?!" Xue Shou was immediately stunned when Fang Xuanling said this.
He couldn't figure it out: Apart from the emperor, who else would have such a status in this court?!
Even Fang Xuanling said categorically that "as long as he doesn't speak, no one else dares to touch Xiao Han"!
"Haha, who else is it? Him!" Fang Xuanling smiled and stretched out her hand, pointing lightly in the opposite direction!
