"Let the saints decide. We, Silla, have always been at the top of the Japanese kingdom. What are their intentions for today's unprovoked provocation?"

The deputy envoy of Silla spoke fluently, and his clothes were no different from those of the common people in Chang'an, except that they were a little more gorgeous. Except for his smaller eyes and a somewhat flat nose, no one would doubt that he was from the Tang Dynasty.

When the Japanese envoy saw that all the envoys from all over the world were laughing, and the Silla envoy spoke a language he did not understand, he immediately became anxious and urged the interpreter to speak quickly and tell him what was going on.

"Sage, there is a distinction between superior and inferior officials."

"There are differences between state-owned and large-scale education."

"Silla is small and poor, how can it be at the top of our country?"

The interpreter quickly expressed all the meaning of the Japanese envoy, and then the hall fell into silence.

Everyone is waiting for the Queen's edict.

The Silla envoy glared at the Japanese people.

What is small and poor?!

If they weren't concerned about the occasion, the two would have wanted to stage a full-scale martial arts show and had to kill each other. After all, the two countries had deep grievances long before this -

Because of Tsushima Island, the Japanese often used it as a springboard to invade Silla. As early as 500 years ago, a woman named Queen Shengong personally took the first step of the invasion while pregnant during the regency.

Meng Fan looked at this aunt curiously, wondering what she would do.

However... accidents happen all the time.

"Stop fighting, why don't you two compete, and whoever wins will get to sit on the table."

A man with a high nose and a slightly dark complexion stood up and said carelessly: "I can uphold justice."

"nonsense!"

The next moment, a censor stood up and reprimanded:

"Diplomatic relations are no small matter, how can you use trivial skills and show off your courage to differentiate yourself? It's really vulgar!"

"You are just an envoy from Tibet. How dare you overstep your bounds and make decisions for the country and the saints?"

There was a third-rank prime minister who echoed the censor, with contempt and disdain on his brows, as if he was seeing a barbarian.

The Tang and Tubo fought a tug-of-war for dozens or even hundreds of years over the four towns of Anxi, with each having its own victory or defeat. The latter mainly relied on terrain and other factors, making it impossible for the Tang to completely defeat them.

Especially in the Battle of Dafeichuan, the Tang army marched a long way, suffered from poor supplies, and discord among the generals, which ultimately led to the biggest defeat in foreign operations since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Tubo suddenly became a power that could compete with the Tang Dynasty in the western region.

Powerful.

Thanks to the Tang Dynasty's many partial victories in the past two years, it had recaptured the four towns of Anxi and was planning to attack Tubo again.

in short.

Tubo had the confidence to clamor against the Tang Dynasty, including the envoys. Therefore, the relationship between the two countries was not good. The Tang Dynasty only paid attention to etiquette and was not willing to embarrass the envoys.

However, more and more civil and military officials began to reprimand, especially after noticing the attitude of the prime ministers in the political hall, they vaguely understood that this was probably another time to mobilize troops.

"Then you decide who should sit in what position." The Tibetan envoy said impatiently.

To be honest, Meng Fan felt very unhappy when he saw him.

What does it mean for a messenger to make decisions for his master?

Could it be that he is really a barbarian?

His eyes turned to Wu Zetian again.

"After the banquet, there will be a bow performance. Since there is a dispute between the two countries, let's compare it to the last one."

"Here."

"yes."

"We, Tibet, will also participate! Which country is willing to fight?"

Although the envoys from Japan and Silla looked surprised, the saint's words were God's will. Even their kings did not dare to openly defy them, let alone them.

As for Tubo, only fools play ball with it, purely looking for defeat.

"Then let the soldiers of the Yulin Army do it."

The majestic voice spread throughout the hall.

As soon as Jinsou's words came out, the envoys made preparations one after another and began to look for people who were good at riding and shooting from their own envoys, intending to gain face in the arena.

Is the stadium a battlefield?

Meng Fan originally planned to leave early and ride on the clouds to the Huai River to kill the dragon. But with what happened now, he was not in a hurry to leave. He would watch a game beforehand.

East Asian Derby in the seventh century AD?

First battle:

Medieval Little Days vs. Medieval Xiao Xiba!

Weird thoughts came to mind. At the same time, envoys from many countries below took the opportunity to make a fuss and watched the fun.

On the side of the Tang Dynasty, the noble ministers made less noise, but their faces were full of expectations. The domestic knights did not have soft feet, and they could fully expect the wonderful performance of Chang'an Jian'er in the future.

…

Three halls are opened deep in the auspicious smoke, and hundreds of officials are attracted when the spring rain is gentle.

Linde Hall already occupies a large area, and there are attics and verandahs surrounding the main hall, which can be used to hold bow shooting competitions.

"Aniang, why don't you go to Daming Palace Liyuan? I remember there is a polo field there too."

"..." Wu Zetian.

For a moment, Meng Fan felt that his cheap aunt had been pulled down from the altar. She was even speechless when asked by a child. It was just because the atmosphere was up and the game started nearby...or maybe she didn't want to go too far.

It has a circumference of a thousand steps and is surrounded by thick fences on the south, east and west sides. The terrain in the north is very high, so it is obviously a place for viewing.

There is a three-story attic with an extremely wide view. There is a yellow umbrella and feather fan on it. The Queen of Heaven is sitting in the middle, and next to her are the prince, prince, princess, and Taoist priest Meng in elegant Taoist robes.

There is a slightly lower auxiliary platform next to the main platform, where the Tibetan envoys and court ministers are.

"Is that Princess Taiping?"

"She is so beautiful that she should be married to my lord."

Meng Fan couldn't understand him because of the local dialect he spoke, and he only thought he was vulgar, whether it was his eyes, appearance, or temperament.

In fact, Tubo had made a similar request a few years ago, but the Second Sage refused without thinking.

They only have one daughter, the youngest, and they wish they could pluck the stars from the sky and give them to her, and marry her in a faraway land?

The princess has become a monk and will not marry!

This was the answer back then.

What's more, during Li Zhi's reign, he defeated the Eastern Turks, Xueyantuo, Western Turks, Goguryeo, Baekje, Tuyuhun, Tochar and other countries to kneel on the ground and call him daddy. The remaining Tibetan didn't dare to speak nonsense. How could he take his own daughter?

Make peace?

The ground of the stadium was flattened inch by inch with loess. In order to prevent the horses from getting dusty when running and affecting the view from above, it is being repeatedly cast with oil.

Not long after.

The court is as smooth as a stone and as bright as a mirror, and soon every inch of loess here will be fiercely contested.

A battle that puts the country’s face on the line!

Xiaoxi... ahem, if Silla wins, they will continue the tradition and sit in front of the Japanese nation at every banquet and even other celebrations.

But if Japan wins, the opposite will happen.

"This time it was originally a competition between the left and right prison guards, the left and right Qianniu guards, and the palace guards, but I didn't expect it to turn into this." Prince Li Xian shook his head, as if he felt a little ridiculous.

After the competition between Silla and Japan, Tubo also wanted to join in the fun, because the missions from other countries were unwilling to participate and did not have the strength, so they could only leave it to the suzerain country Tang Dynasty to fight.

People are fighting for a breath, let alone the country?
