Chapter 118 I have admired the country for a long time

The Tubo envoy was going to visit Li Zheng, but Li Zheng killed the Tubo people's war horses in front of these Tubo envoys, and ordered the villagers to hang the war horses up and show them to the public.

Just hanging at the entrance of Jingyang County, people passing by could see the corpses of these horses. This incident was like an explosive news spread throughout every corner of Chang'an.

This caused an uproar for a while.

What is even more surprising is that these Tubo people did not take action, but instead apologized to the villagers in Jingyang.

Among the envoys sent by the countries, the envoys from Tubo were the most powerful.

This incident once again made Li Zheng famous. Everyone knew about the streets and alleys that spread throughout the country for a while. The people stood up and wanted to show off their power in the Tang Dynasty?

In the court, dozens of censors submitted a memorial overnight, impeaching Li Zheng, the Marquis of Jingyang County, to ignore the overall situation of the border and the major plans in the court. In order to vent his personal anger, he offended the Tubo people. He asked His Majesty to punish Li Zheng now!

The impeachment of court officials and the discussion among the public began to become lively because of Li Zheng's actions.

Li Chongyi arranged another residence for these Tubo envoys because many people in the market threw rotten eggs at the Tubo people's guest rooms.

He couldn't help but sigh, Li Chongyi was worried about how Li Zheng was causing trouble at this important juncture between the two countries.

It doesn’t matter if you make trouble, don’t make it so big, how will you end now?

And Li Zheng is like a ok person, eating and drinking in Jingyang.

Li Tai came to Li Zheng and said, "The remarks in the court are very unfavorable to you..."

...

Li Tai, who was disappointed, said again: "You are in the mood to roast chicken wings?"

Li Zheng applied some sauce to the chicken wings and said, "Are you worried that your father would blame me?"

Li Tai nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice, "I don't want you to die so young."

"His Highness the King of Wei is too worried. I don't think your father will punish me. If he really wanted to punish me, he would have taken me to Chang'an and imprisoned me. Is it necessary to not take action until now? Tubo invaded Tuyuhun territory and disrupted our major plans in the court. If he didn't give him a warning, they really thought that we Tang people were easy to bully, right?"

Li Tai sighed, "Li Zheng, are you really stupid or fake? Do you know how many people in the court were impeaching you first? I know you and the Changsun family are not dealing with each other, and many people are holding this handle to deal with you."

Li Zheng took a bite of the roasted chicken wings and said, "The sauce is a bit too salty."

Li Tai said anxiously: "Are you listening to me?"

"Fatty, please be calm. Let me ask you first if Tuyuhun's land is important to us?"

"Of course it's important."

Li Tai spit out the chicken bone and said, "That's all. Tuyuhun's territory involves the Hexi Corridor. When the Tubo people get the Hexi Corridor, it is equivalent to putting a knife on the neck of the Central Plains. Songtsen Gampo's wolf ambitions are eager to try the Central Plains. Can't the Chinese civil and military officials understand? Do we still need to be polite to them for such people? Is it a kind of pride to serve these Tubo people well to the Tang Dynasty? "

Li Tai was also excited and said, "You are right! We, the Tang Dynasty, must be taken down by the Hexi Corridor. The censors in the court heard the news and made others ambitious!"

Li Ke returned to the palace and told Li Shimin about the whole story.

After hearing this, Li Shimin asked Li Ke to retreat, with no expression on his face.

The censors in the court were waiting for His Majesty’s order, but after waiting, they would discuss it later.

Not long after the incident, another team of people came to the entrance of Jingyang Village. The team was much more gentle and did not bring weapons or ride horses, but came on foot.

The messenger from Tuyuhun came, and they were amazed when they saw several horse corpses hanging at the entrance of Jingyang Village.

It is said that people in the Central Plains treat each other with courtesy, but now it seems that this is not the case.

I have long heard of the Turks' encounter after sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty.

Perhaps this is what the Turks said, the Tang Dynasty is now a country of tigers and wolves.

When Li Zheng saw these Tuyuhun envoys, he asked curiously: "What are you doing here?"

The Tuyuhun envoy introduced himself: "I am Fu Ni, the younger brother of Fu Yun, the Tuyuhun king, and I often hear that Daming, the Hou of Jingyang County, came to visit him."

Seeing Fu Ni's expression was calm and composed, humble and polite, the point is that this guy speaks Guanzhong dialect very well.

Several followers also stood with their heads bowed.

Tuyuhun is now at the critical moment of life and death, and the messenger sent out is actually the younger brother of the current Tuyuhun King.

The amount of this messenger is enough.

Fu Ni said, "When I came down, I saw the corpses of several horses hanging at the entrance of the village..."

Li Zheng said with a smile on his face: "The quality of these Tubo people is really bad. I hate two kinds of people the most in my life, one is the rude people, and the other is the people who owe money but don't pay it back."

Li Tai: “…”

Fu Ni smiled and said, "So that's how it is."

Li Zheng said: "You will definitely not be like them, right?"

Fu Ni waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, then Lu Dongzan is just a common man, so he should be killed. Now Lu Dongzan can still live because of the magnanimity of the county marquis."

"Actually, when I was a child, I often came to the Central Plains and learned the words of the Central Plains from the people of the Central Plains. I have long admired the Central Plains for a long time and have hoped that it would be for us many years ago that the Tang Dynasty could become the supreme country of Tuyuhun. What an honor for us."

Li Zheng had goose bumps all over his body when he was blowing Fu Ni. He didn't have a good job in flattery and he was still slapped.

"You said you have long admired our Tang Dynasty for a long time and wanted to join our Tang Dynasty. Since that's the case, why did I attack Liangzhou?"

"Forehead……"

Fu Ni's smile was stiff on his face.

"We Central Plains people pay attention to one thing that needs to admit if you have any mistakes, and you have to apologize."

Fu Ni nodded quickly, "Apologize for apologies. In fact, there is a misunderstanding about Liangzhou. It is a huge misunderstanding. This time I came to apologize to His Majesty the Tang Dynasty."

Li Zheng shook the palm-leaf fan in his hand and looked up at the scorching sun in the sky. "Then you apologize to Your Majesty, what are you doing here?"

Fu Ni said again: "The reputation of the Marquis of Jingyang County has been spread outside the pass, and three hundred poems were published overnight. One plan to determine Yinshan, which destroyed the ambitions of the Turks and made the arrogant Turks bow down and surrender. My admiration for the Marquis of County is really..."

"Stop and stop!"

Li Zheng interrupted him, why did this guy flatter him again at any time?

Fu Ni said: "If the county marquis can help us get out of the predicament, the whole Tuyuhun will definitely be grateful to the county marquis! There will be a great gift to repay."

Li Zheng took a deep breath. "So that's how it is."
