Chapter 1397 Don't be rude
Seeing Su Cheng strode towards him, Cheng Yaojin asked with a wink, "I heard that the Tubo envoys went to your mansion to give you a great gift?"
Su Cheng smiled and said, "That's also called a tribute? They are local specialties on the plateau."
Yuchi Gong asked with a wink, "Just just give a gift? Didn't you say anything else?"
Su Cheng did not intend to hide it, and explained: "There is another letter written by Songtsen Gampo who made someone imitate Princess Zhenzhu's handwriting. What peace between the two countries made me advise Your Majesty not to send troops."
Li Ji smiled and said, "I didn't expect Songzan Gampo and Lu Dongzan were quite shameless."
Cheng Yaojin said disdainfully: "Bah, even his sister is shameless!"
Yuchi Gong also said disdainfully: "I just gave some local specialties. Is Tubo too poor or Songtsen Gumbu too stingy?"
Su Cheng smiled and said, "It's probably because he's both poor and stingy."
Everyone couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Li Ji pondered: "Boy Su, you'd better talk to His Majesty about these things. Don't think it doesn't matter if you have an open mind."
Su Cheng smiled and said, "It's okay, Changle will enter the palace today."
Cheng Yaojin and others couldn't help but feel very envious when they heard this. Can Princess Changle not mention it to the Empress when she entered the palace? Can the Empress not talk to the Emperor when she knew it? This is more convenient and better than Su Cheng.
This is the advantage, this is the advantage of marrying the eldest princess who was born to the queen.
Even if other princesses enter the palace, they may not be able to see the emperor. Even if they tell their mother, they may not be able to see the emperor.
Just as everyone was envious and moved in their hearts, a whip sounded in front of the hall.
"All the ministers entered the palace!"
"I'm here to pay homage to Your Majesty!"
"Everyone is calm!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
"I got the news yesterday that a Tubo envoy came to Chang'an. The Tubo envoys came so fast."
The hall was still very quiet, with no surprise on the faces of the ministers. Now everyone knows the entire Chang'an, of course they have heard of it a long time ago.
In fact, they had been talking about this before the dynasty meeting. They felt that the Tubo envoys came to Chang'an at this time just to slap them in the face of the Tang people.
Therefore, they felt that they should directly expel the Tubo envoys to the Tang Dynasty!
"If they want to see me, then I will announce the Tubo envoys to meet me. I want to see what the Tubo envoys want to do!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
The ministers had no objection, so let’s see what the Tubo people were going to do.
"Present Tubo envoys met!"
"Foreign minister Zhajiguen pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Shimin asked in a deep voice: "Zajigun, Tubo is thousands of miles away. Why did you come to the Tang Dynasty without hesitation?"
"Your Majesty, the foreign minister is hereby congratulate Your Majesty on the destruction of Goguryeo and the creation of unfinished achievements in the previous dynasty!" The Tubo envoy said loudly.
The destruction of Goguryeo can be regarded as an unfinished achievement in the previous dynasty, and Li Shimin has always been a little satisfied with this.
If the army led by Zhang Liang was not defeated by Tubo, Li Shimin would feel very comfortable listening to this.
However, now listening to the congratulations of the Tubo envoys, Li Shimin not only did not feel comfortable, but instead felt that the Tubo envoys were ironic.
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Destroying Goguryeo is nothing, but you Tubo dared to invade Tuyuhun while my army was expeditioning the east. What a courageous thing!"
The Tubo envoy said loudly: "Your Majesty has something unknown. Murong Shun, the Khan of Tuyuhun, Murong Shun, was cruel and unkind. Many of his people fled to Tubo under the rule of Tubo. We all felt compassionate when we heard this. The people of Tuyuhun lived a life worse than death under the rule of Murong Shun. Countless people begged us to Zangpu to practice the way for heaven so that they could live a good life. We Zangpu was compassionate. After hesitating for a long time, we finally softened our hearts. Then we sent troops to Tuyuhun."
"Why did Murong Shun escape to the Tang Dynasty in just over ten days? It was because he was cruel and unkind and unpopular! I hope Your Majesty will clearly understand!"
After the Tubo envoy finished speaking, Changsun Chong immediately went out and scolded: "It's simply nonsense. You said Murong Shun was cruel and unkind, why have we never heard of such a saying in the Tang Dynasty? You Tubo is a wolf-like ambition. You want to annex Tuyuhun and advance to the Western Regions. The wolf-like ambition is obvious. Even the three-year-old child made up this lie."
The Tubo envoy said in a deep voice: "My Lord is such a bad word. Everything that the foreign minister says is true. If Your Majesty still doesn't believe it, the foreign minister can send the people of Tuyuhun who are complaining about the wrongs to Chang'an. Your Majesty can ask in person."
Su Cheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this. It was too naive to say such an envoy, but he just gave in a few people a long time ago. He really didn't even believe a three-year-old child.
Li Shimin said lightly: "It's not necessary to send someone to you. How can the words of a few people be believed? I will send someone to Tuyuhun to verify. If Murong Shun is really cruel and unkind and makes the people resent, then I will deal with it."
"Tuyuhun is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. You Tubo brazenly launched an attack and did not leave the territory. What is the reason?"
The Tubo envoy said loudly: "Your Majesty, it's not that we Tubo does not want to withdraw our troops, but that the Tuyuhun people knelt down and begged hard, hoping that our Tubo army can stay and protect them and allow them to live a good life."
"We Zangpu are compassionate and cannot bear to withdraw our troops for the sake of the people of Tuyuhun. Your Majesty is the Khan of Heaven, highly respected and praised as a benevolent monarch in the world. I think Your Majesty can understand our Zangpu's painstaking efforts, right?"
After hearing this, Li Shimin swears came to his mouth.
"Don't let your mother gossip! Do you treat us as fools? Who doesn't know the tricks here? Aren't you Tubo people just covet the land of Tuyuhun? Just say no if you open it! You took off your clothes and pretended not to be a bitch. You Zamp is really shameless!" Cheng Yaojin cursed.
Su Cheng almost didn't applaud after hearing this. This was the most skillful time Cheng Yaojin scolded him.
Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded secretly. This was not the first time Cheng Yaojin cursed in the court, but this was the first time he had cursed him in his heart. It was so comfortable to scold him.
However, the Tubo envoys were stunned. This was the court of the Tang Dynasty, a country of etiquette. Some people openly called them a bitch in the court!
It was a very shameful and humiliating! The Tubo envoy blushed suddenly and said, "Your Majesty, the foreign ministers came with peace. How could your Majesty's ministers insult us so much? Is this the way to treat guests in a country of etiquette? This is an insult to our Tubo!"
