Chapter five hundred and thirtieth eight mutual market between the two countries
While Zhao Chen and others left Chang'an City, today's court meeting in Tai Chi Hall was not over yet.
Tubo once again sent an envoy, which was unexpected by everyone.
The Tang Dynasty and Tubo were still confronting each other on the border.
Songtsen Gampo actually dared to send an envoy over.
I was not worried at all that they would kill Lu Dongzan directly.
After all, after Songzhou City was captured by the Tubo people, the people of Songzhou City suffered a lot.
Officials of the Ministry of Rites did not report to Li Shimin about Lu Dongzan's envoy until last night.
Li Shimin was so angry that he removed a minister of the Ministry of Rites from office.
Today, in the court, Li Shimin wanted to discuss with a group of ministers how to deal with Lu Dongzan's envoy.
"His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the foreign minister Lu Dongzan once again sincerely requested, asking His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to agree to open a border trading between the two countries." Lu Dongzan stood in the center of the Tai Chi Hall and bowed to Li Shimin to salute.
Lu Dongzan thought about it all night yesterday and knew that if he wanted to find Zhao Chen to take revenge, he would definitely need to persuade Li Shimin to agree to open a mutual market.
Otherwise, the Tubo people would have no food and would have no way out except to fight against the Tang Dynasty.
By that time, there would be no one else.
Where can I say that I will seek revenge on Zhao Chen?
However, even if Lu Dongzan himself doesn't tell anyone about the current situation in Tubo, it will not be hidden from anyone.
"The little Tubo is really ridiculous. When he mercilessly attacked our Tang Dynasty Songzhou City, it caused a sudden outbreak of military disasters. Many of our Tang Dynasty soldiers and people died."
"Now Tubo is short of food and salt, so I think of asking us to open a mutual market?"
"Is Songzan Gampo's head lacking in tendons?" Cheng Yaojin was the first to stand up and said with a sneer.
In war, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will always rush to the forefront.
If Tubo said he would not fight, he would not fight?
If you say you want to open a mutual market, you can open a mutual market?
Like a child's play?
Cheng Yaojin didn't rush up and slapped Lu Dongzan as soon as possible, which was enough to give the emperor a face.
"My lord, please respect your words. We Zanpu are the same as His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If a foreign minister insults His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, what do you think?" Lu Dongzan looked at Cheng Yao.
Jin, unhappy.
"Dog thing, you dare..."
"Know the truth, retreat!" Li Shimin waved and stopped Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin retreated in a depressed mood.
Then he heard Li Shimin say, "If I don't agree to open a mutual market, what should Songzan Gampo be prepared to do?"
Lu Dongzan was obviously prepared for a long time. When he heard Li Shimin's temptation, his face turned cold and said lightly: "If the Emperor of Tang was unwilling to open a trade, Zanpu said that he could only take risks and compete with the Tang army.
The worst thing is that the country is dead and the country is destroyed, but His Majesty the Emperor will not take much advantage.”
"If the Emperor doesn't believe it, try it..."
“Bold!”
"presumptuous!"
"How dare you threaten the saint of the Tang Dynasty in the barbarian land?"
"When was the Tubo barbarians so bold? You are afraid that I, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, will not die. If you want to fight, the men of the Tang Dynasty will accompany you to the end!"
"Your Majesty, the last general asks for an order to lead the army to fight to the death with the Tubo barbarians!"
Lu Dongzan's almost humiliating words once made the generals look disgusted.
What does Songtsen Gampo in Tubo mean?
Do you think that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are all made of mud?
How dare you say such a threatening thing?
No one would have felt that without Songzan Gampo's instruction, Lu Dongzan, an envoy, dared to say such arrogant words.
Moreover, it was clearly Tubo who came to seek cooperation!
"Your Majesty, the Tubo barbarians bully me, there is no one in the Tang Dynasty. This person must not be spared lightly. Please attack Tubo immediately. I am willing to follow the army to fight!"
"Although I am a literati, old, I still miss the days when I followed Your Majesty to fight and fought against all the forces that fought against each other. If there is any war, why should the old minister cherish his remaining body?"
"Your Majesty, the Tubo barbarians insult me so much. If they don't slap them hard, they won't know how painful it is."
"Your Majesty, although I am civil servants, I can hold swords and swords in person. Although I do not understand military tactics, I have a passionate blood. Tubo insults me. I wish I could kill Shangluo City. Please do not hesitate and prepare for war immediately."
The Tang Dynasty was established less than twenty years ago.
In fact, many of the civil servants in the court were old people who had experienced the battle of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
They may not be able to tie a chicken, and may not understand the art of war.
But the passion in my heart did not dissipate.
When the civil servants heard that Lu Dongzan despised them so much for their destiny, they all turned red.
Everyone looked at Lu Dongzan in the middle with sharp eyes.
All the civil and military officials in the court were excited at this moment.
This situation has not happened in many years.
Many times, these guys are arguing in the court, seeking benefits for themselves and those who support them.
But today...
Lu Dongzan just conveyed the meaning of Songzan Gampo.
But he did not expect that all the officials of the Tang Dynasty would be so united in the same hatred after hearing his despised words.
In just a moment, Lu Dongzan's back was soaked in cold sweat.
He was not worried about his life, but he felt that the Tang court, which was so unanimous to the outside world, would it really be something that Tubo could deal with?
Although Tubo seems to be a unified voice, each tribe has its own opinions.
If Zanpu Songtsen Gampo had not been able to do so now, Tubo would have been in chaos long ago.
But even so, facing the Tang Dynasty court that was so unanimous to the outside world, Lu Dongzan really didn't think they had a chance of winning.
The words just now seemed not to threaten them, but instead backfired, making them share the same hatred of the enemy.
Li Shimin was very satisfied.
Although these ministers kept making things difficult for themselves on weekdays.
There are also many little thoughts of their own.
But you can still be clear in the face of big news!
"Lu Dongzan, you have also seen it. It's not that I don't want to open a mutual market, but that your words just now made many officials feel dissatisfied."
"If you can convince them, I may give you a chance." Li Shimin said lightly, with a hint of joking flashing across his face.
In fact, Li Shimin was also a little worried.
Tubo is high and the road is long, and there is also the plateau reaction mentioned by Zhao Chen.
If he was not sure enough, he did not want to fight a life-and-death battle with Tubo.
When Tubo was in desperate situation, he would definitely fight to the death with the Tang Dynasty defenders.
Although as an emperor, he should not be too kind, Li Shimin was still unwilling to let more people die innocently in this war.
So, his last sentence gave Lu Dongzan a step.
As for whether he can catch it, it depends on his fate.
"Your Majesty..." Fang Xuanling was about to persuade Li Shimin not to let Lu Dongzan go, but saw him and him shook his head.
Fang Xuanling sighed and did not say anything further.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the foreign ministers just now made a mistake. I would like to ask Your Majesty not to blame him."
