"It's just a negotiated contract." Li Zheng said to Songtsen Gampo: "First of all, I don't want you to turn against each other in the negotiation process, or after the Tang Dynasty helped you fight back the Western Turkic people, you will turn against each other."

Songtsen Gampo's face was obviously a little unhappy, "I am the monarch of Tubo, I have come to see you in person! Isn't this enough?"

"Yes, you came to see me in person, but if you don't make a note, let's not continue to talk anymore. I still have a lot of things to do. The people of the Central Plains are different from you. We are very particular about integrity."

Lu Dongzan said to Songzan Gampo: "Zanpu, be careful of fraud in it!"

Li Zheng smiled and continued to grill the chicken wings.

Songtsen Gampo took a deep breath, "Of course, there is no problem with the ability to write a stamp."

When Lu Dongzan heard Songzan Gampo agree so decisively, he was surprised, "Zanpu, don't you think more about it?"

Songtsen Gampo glanced at Li Zheng and said, "Please continue."

Li Xiaogong also sat next to Li Zheng, seeing Songzan Gampo agree, which means he has fallen into Li Zheng's trap.

In fact, this is an open conspiracy, and Songtsen Gampo has no choice.

I don’t care about so much in the face of Tubo’s life and death. Even if Tubo does not perish this time, Songtsen Gampo was most worried about the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty planned to take the opportunity to annex the entire Tubo in one go, Songtsen Gampo had no power to resist at all.

If we can form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty now, Tubo will have a chance to breathe in the future.

Otherwise, after the Western Turks retreated, Tubo would no longer have the strength to resist another war.

Li Zheng introduced: "This is the Prince of Hejian, the Zongzheng Temple Minister of Our Majesty of the Tang Dynasty. You can understand it as our relatives."

Songtsen Gampo nodded slightly, "Please continue."

Li Zheng collected his clothes, then turned the side of the roasted chicken wings and said, "Very good. Before signing the contract, I will ask again, how much does Tubo cost."

"Money?" Lu Dongzan was stunned and hurriedly said: "What we need is support!"

Li Zheng smiled and said, "If you are a Tubo people who are not educated, you don't read more books, do you need money to fight a war?"

Lu Dongzan: "..."

Li Zheng said: "Soldiers pay, food, weapons, transportation, and even war horses all require money. Could it be that our Tang Dynasty paid for it?"

Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth and said, "We are here to support, not to borrow money."

Li Zheng said to Songtsen Gampo: "You are Zanpu of Tubo. I really don't understand whether you, the monarch of Tubo, talked to me, or your Tubo prime minister Lu Dongzan, talked to me."

Songzan Gampo signaled Lu Dongzan to retreat.

Lu Dongzan glared at Li Zheng fiercely, and then sat down not far away.

Li Zheng said again: "Do you understand what I mean now? Due to your Tubo situation, even if the Tang Dynasty helped you fight off the Turks, it is hard for me to think of what you can use to repay the Tang Dynasty."

"To be honest, we are not interested in the land you mentioned in the Tang Dynasty. If you want you to give it to us for free, it will be no difference if we try to make it ourselves."

Li Zheng whispered to Songtsen Gampo and said, "Dare you, Tubo, have the ability to resist when our Tang Dynasty soldiers enter the Tubo territory?"

Songtsen Gampo clenched his fists with both hands.

"So what you said before was to promise to the several states in Datang was simply empty talk and not enough to be used as a bargaining chip for our negotiations? Isn't it?"

Li Zheng applied sauce to the chicken wings, "Business is a priority. I am a businessman. I analyzed the situation in your Tubo. Now your Tubo is a business that is on the verge of bankruptcy."

"How much can you give me!" Songtsen Gampo said gritting his teeth.

"I can lend you the first sum of money, five million guan!"

After hearing Li Zheng say the number of five million guan, Li Xiaogong almost choked by his saliva and turned his head to look at Li Zheng. This kid could actually take out five million guan!

Songtsen Gampo lowered his head, his expression full of trepidation.

The chicken wings were roasted, and Li Zheng handed Li Xiaogong a bunch.

Li Xiaogong took the chicken wings and started eating them. One chicken wing entered his mouth and chewed it in his mouth with the chicken bones.

Five million coins! How much does this cost? This kid made such a big deal as soon as he opened his mouth.

Li Xiaogong kept chewing chicken wings, trying to suppress himself, which was so exciting.

Li Zheng slowly ate chicken wings, which was much more gentle than Li Xiaogong.

Songtsen Gampo didn't say anything for a long time, and Li Zheng handed him a bunch of chicken wings and asked, "Eat some first, don't worry, think about it slowly."

Songtsen Gampo took the chicken wings, and naturally he had no appetite to eat. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Okay, that's five million coins!"

Seeing that Songzan Gampo dared to agree, Li Xiaogong became more and more surprised and stuffed a chicken wing into his mouth.

Li Zheng gave Xu Jingzong a look.

After receiving the look, Xu Jingzong began to distribute the booklets brought by Li Zheng.

Songtsen Gampo also held a portion in his hand.

Li Zheng said: "This is what I said before. Before the negotiation, you need to be a monarch of Tubo. There are 31 items in total."

"Is it a thirty-one rush to rescue?" Songtsen Gampo was a little wary.

"It's not a condition, it's actually our premise. After confirming these, let's discuss the conditions." Li Zheng still smiled.

After listening to this, Li Xiaogong took a big mouthful of tea, and it seemed that the sauce of the chicken wings was a bit too spicy.

Holding this contract in his hand, Songtsen Gumbu took a deep breath and opened it. It was all about Central Plains.

Songtsen Gampo has read many books on the Central Plains, and he knows all the words on the Central Plains.

Seeing the first post, Songtsen Gampo suddenly looked up at Li Zheng, "What does this mean?"

"What's wrong?"

Songtsen Gampo pointed to the first line and said, "Do you want me to expel all the Tubo nobles?"

Li Zheng nodded, "That's right."

Songtsen Gampo said: "Even if the Tubo nobles are wrong, they are the foundation of Tubo after all."

Li Zheng changed his seat, "I think you still don't understand your current situation. To be honest, your life and death in Tubo has nothing to do with our Tang Dynasty, but if we want to help you, we also need to repay you. After you borrow money, what I hope most is that you can repay the money."

"On this basis, I prefer you Tubo to be a healthy Tubo. Who are the old nobles of Tubo? They own the land, population, livestock, and even they can overthrow you, the Tubo king. Once those old nobles overthrow you, who will repay my money?"

"I am also helping you, so that you can be determined to remove the hidden threats from your Tubo. It is nothing more than rejecting all potential risks, which will be beneficial to you."

Li Zheng finished speaking.

Songtsen Gampo stared at the young man under 20 for a long time and couldn't speak.

Li Zheng said again: "If you can't make up this decision, then we will break up and there is no need to talk about anything next, so you can go back."
