Facing Li Shimin's cold murderous intent, the Tibetan envoy trembled all over.
But it was not as frightening as imagined.
Taking a deep breath, the Tubo envoy forced a smile on his face and said: "The so-called common people are just the lowest servants. His Majesty the Emperor controls the Tang Dynasty, how can he be with me because of some low-level servants?"
Tubo is angry?"
"There were more than tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty, so what does it matter if a few untouchables were killed or injured?"
"If His Majesty the Emperor agrees to Zamp's request, Zamp is willing to return Songzhou City. In addition, if His Majesty the Emperor feels that he has suffered a loss, we can also send thousands of cattle and sheep as compensation."
If the Tibetan envoy's words sounded good, they were discussions; if they sounded bad, they were threats.
When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately became angry.
Ever since the Turkic Jieli Khan became the Right Guard General in Chang'an City, Li Shimin had not been ridden on his head like this for a long time.
Li Shimin sat back on his dragon couch again, turned around suddenly, stared closely at the Tibetan envoy in front, and said slowly: "Songzhou City I will get it back, but as for the cattle and sheep, I'll leave them to..."
"What His Majesty the Emperor said is interesting. Outside Songzhou City, His Majesty the Emperor's army has been attacking Songzhou City for more than half a month. This Songzhou City is still firmly in the hands of Tubo. I don't know..."
"Arrogant!"
"It's just Tubo who dares to be so arrogant and deserves to be damned!"
The crowd in the Tai Chi Hall was excited.
The eyes of Wei Zheng and all the other civil servants turned red.
The great Tang Dynasty, the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty, were so despised by a mere Tibetan envoy?
Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and other generals knelt down directly in front of Li Shimin and slammed their fists on the floor of the hall.
They all threatened to lead their troops into Tubo and kill everyone in Tubo.
When the Tibetan envoy saw the officials in the Tang Dynasty looking like this, they felt relieved.
Even after he said so, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not embarrass himself. It seemed that his life was saved.
He closed his eyes, looking indifferent, and the smile on his lips seemed to be mocking Li Shimin's incompetence.
"Silence!" Li Shimin shouted coldly, his teeth almost shattered.
The Tai Chi Hall became quiet, and everyone looked at Li Shimin in front of him.
Li Shimin's eyes fell on the Tibetan envoy.
"Listen to me, the people of the Tang Dynasty are not lowly slaves, they are the foundation of our country."
"Songzhou, I will definitely get it back. I will definitely repay the disaster a hundredfold for the disasters you inflicted on our people in the Tang Dynasty!"
The cold voice pierced the heart of the Tibetan envoy like a sharp blade.
Facing Li Shimin's hawk-like gaze, the Tibetan envoy immediately had dense beads of sweat on his forehead.
No matter how confident he was, facing the furious Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, his heart was twisted into a ball.
He swallowed hard, and before he could speak, he heard rapid footsteps behind him.
A young eunuch hurriedly walked in from outside the palace, with a heavy look of joy on his face.
When I saw the emperor, I heard him shout: "Your Majesty, good news, good news from Songzhou."
Just such a sound made everyone look over.
The Tubo envoy was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of astonishment.
Li Shimin stood at the top, slightly startled, and walked downstairs in two steps.
After walking a few steps, he started to trot.
Taiji Hall occupies a very large area. When the eunuch came to Li Shimin, Li Shimin also arrived near the Tibetan envoy.
"What did you say just now?" Looking at the eunuch in front of him, Li Shimin suppressed the turbulence in his heart, and his tone was full of expectation.
"Your Majesty, there is a great victory in Songzhou. Hou Jun gathered the generals from 800 miles away to report the great victory in Songzhou. On the 20th day of the first month of the tenth year of Zhenguan, we, the Tang soldiers, swore to the death and captured Songzhou. In one battle that day, we destroyed 25,000 enemies.
people and captured more than 10,000 people.”
"Countless people fled, Songzhou City... has been recovered!"
The eunuch's voice sounded in the Tai Chi Hall.
The originally sharp and harsh sound turned out to be as beautiful and beautiful as the sounds of nature.
"Haha, good! Good! Good!" Qin Qiong clapped her hands and laughed, her face full of excitement.
"God bless me, the Tang Dynasty, and my army of the Tang Dynasty is invincible in this world!" Cheng Yaojin clenched his fists tightly, with excitement on his face.
"Young Tubo boy, how dare you treat me like the Tang Dynasty?" Wei Zheng pointed at the pale-faced Tubo envoy and laughed, his face filled with pride.
The entire Tai Chi Hall was filled with excited laughter, and the resentment just now seemed to be vented at this moment.
Li Shimin turned around and looked at the Tibetan envoy beside him, with a cold expression on his face, and said: "Songtsen Gampo, is he worthy of marrying me, the Princess of the Tang Dynasty?"
"This is impossible. You must be acting together to deceive me. I have 150,000 Tibetan troops guarding Songzhou. With 50,000 of you, how can we possibly attack Songzhou?" The Tibetan envoy could not accept the news and kept shaking his head in place.
"Your Majesty, this is the memorial sent back by General Hou, and there is also a memorial written by General Niu to commend Zhao Chen, Marquis of Wannian County. Please read it." The eunuch is a smart guy, and he is very proud of Li Shimin.
The two memorials were handed to Li Shimin with respect on his face.
"Zhao Chen?" Li Shimin took the memorial.
Then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
In just a short moment, Li Shimin regained his composure and smiled with the Tibetan envoy: "I ask you again, is Songtsen Gampo worthy of marrying me, the Princess of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Ha ha!"
In the Taiji Hall, the laughter of the courtiers came again.
This laughter was full of mockery.
The Tibetan envoys were filled with fear when they heard this.
How could 150,000 people lose Songzhou City in the face of 50,000 people?
Even if there are 200,000 pigs, it won’t be like this!
Now he doesn't even know how to answer Li Shimin's question.
"Messenger from Tibet, didn't you have two conditions just now? If I remember correctly, the second one is that Songtsen Gampo wants to see Zhao Chen, right?" Li Shimin's face was filled with a relaxed look.
The Tibetan envoy nodded instinctively.
He just heard that it was Lu Dongzan who personally wanted this guy named Zhao Chen.
As for himself, he had never heard of this name.
Come to think of it, he's just a nobody.
I just don’t know how I got into their Zanpu’s eyes.
"Then do you know that this time it was Zhao Chen who used an incredible method to return Songzhou City to the hands of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Shimin's voice was very slow.
Slow down enough that everyone can clearly hear every word the emperor said.
"Zhao...Zhao Chen?" The Tubo envoy was stunned.
"Zhao Chen, does that kid still have this ability?"
"Didn't I just say that Niu Jinda is going to petition for credit!"
“Oh my God, I really can’t believe it——”
In the Tai Chi Hall, there were sounds of gasping for cold air again.
…
Royal Palace Campus.
Li Shimin would come here to relax when he had nothing to do.
But it has been a long time since Li Shimin came here.
Li Shimin came here today, but not to relax.
It was because Captain Wang Meng brought some strange things back from Songzhou City.
Niu Jinda's report said that it was these strange things that allowed them to easily defeat Songzhou City.
And this strange thing was made by Zhao Chen.
"Is this the weapon used to attack Songzhou City?" Li Shimin asked Captain Wang, holding a "blasting cannon" in his hand.
