The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 215 The King's Death
Following the iron cage that held the lion, it was cut off by Li Chengqian's Dragon Soul Soft Sword.The lion inside can come out naturally, which frightens the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Even the envoy of the Tubo Kingdom kept retreating.And open your mouth to organize Li Chengqian, don't make fun of life.

But no matter what he said, it was too late, because the lion had already come out of the cage.But what everyone didn't expect was that the lion was very cute.

Li Chengqian said directly to Wu Meiniang: "We still have to talk about business here, let Xueer take this lion back to the East Palace."

Wu Meiniang nodded, then turned around and left the Tai Chi Hall.But Xueer still stood on the lion's head, slapping the lion with her paw, making it leave with Wu Meiniang.

Watching the lion disappear from everyone's sight, this made the civil and military generals of the Manchu Dynasty let go of their hanging hearts.But at this time, the look in Li Chengqian's eyes was a little weird.

At this time, the envoy of the Tubo Kingdom said to Li Shimin: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, since you accepted the dowry, it means that you have agreed to the peace between the two countries. I don't know when the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty plans to send the princess to Tubo."

"People say that this palace will be able to see the needles. It seems that you are also proficient in this way. But I would like to ask you, why do you say that the father accepted your betrothal gift?" Li Chengqian asked the Tubo envoy with a smile

"The lion has been taken away by you, isn't this considered a dowry?" The envoy of the Tubo Kingdom was taken aback for a moment, and then asked Li Chengqian.

"Listen carefully. First, your lion was taken away by a cat. Second, your lion is not enough for the bride price."

"And the most important thing is that you Tubo Zanpu is not worthy of my Tang princess. If you marry the Tang princess to your Tubo, what will the child be like?" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Li Chengqian's words reminded Wen and Wu of Manchu Dynasty of the lion just now, and they couldn't help laughing out loud.

"It seems that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has already decided to go to war with Tubo and the Western Turks. In this case, this envoy will report the decision of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to my family Zanpu." The envoy of the Tubo Kingdom said to Li Shimin.

"Have you seen the sword in Ben Gong's hand? How sharp do you think it is?" Li Chengqian shook the Dragon Soul Soft Sword in front of the Tubo envoy.

The envoys of the Tubo Kingdom are naturally well aware of the sharpness of this Dragon Soul Soft Sword.But he didn't think that all Tang's weapons were so sharp.

Then he opened his mouth and said: "What's the use of a sharp sword in the hands of the prince of the Tang Dynasty? Why aren't the swords in the hands of hundreds of thousands of sons in my Tubo kingdom not sharp?"

Hearing the arrogant words of the Tubo envoy, a smile appeared on Li Chengqian's face.He raised his leg and kicked the Tubo envoy to the ground.

Then, with the Dragon Soul Soft Sword in his hand, he directly picked up the back of the Tubo envoy's clothes.Let his entire back be exposed in front of Li Chengqian.

Then Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Father, there is nothing wrong with saying it. Father should also return a letter of credence to Zanpu of the Tubo Kingdom. My son dares to ask father to dictate, and my son writes."

"I have heard for a long time that you have a strong literary mind, so today's letter of credence will be drawn up by you." Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.

After Li Chengqian nodded, he waved the Dragon Soul Soft Sword in his hand on the back of the Tubo envoy.What followed was the pig-killing howl of the Tubo envoy.

Not long after, Li Chengqian put the Dragon Soul Soft Sword in his waist.Then he opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Father, my son has returned a letter of credence to Tubo Kingdom for you."

"And the content of the credential is written in our Tang script, plus his Tubo script. Please read it."

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he winked at Cheng Yao and Yu Chigong.The two went forward and set up the Tubo envoy.And turned his back to Li Shimin.

Seeing the bloodstains on Li Chengqian's back carved with the Dragon Soul Soft Sword, Li Shimin read aloud: "The national precepts of the Tang Dynasty, no marriage, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the emperor guards the gate, and the king dies."

After Li Shimin finished reading, he applauded loudly, and then said to Wei Zheng: "You return a letter of credence to Songtsan Gampo of the Tubo Kingdom for me, saying that when the spring is warm and the flowers bloom this year, the Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty will conquer him."

"Let them make arrangements early, so that they don't have time to say that I, the Tang Dynasty, bullied him for a small country."

After Wei Zheng let out a sigh, he ordered someone to bring the Four Treasures of the Study and brush up the Chinese calligraphy bit by bit.Then it was handed over to Li Shimin to stamp the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

Li Shimin threw the letter of credence in front of my Tubo envoy and said: "You are unreasonable to me and despise my Tang Guowei. You should have been sentenced to death, but the two countries did not kill the envoy. Today I will let you go back and spread a message Message."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he ordered people to drive the Tubo envoys out of Taiji Palace.And confessed to throw him out of Chang'an City directly.

At this time, the envoys of the Tubo Kingdom no longer had the slightest arrogance.Dejected like a dead dog, he was dragged out by the prison guard.

At this moment, Li Shimin was in a good mood, and said directly to Li Chengqian: "You have made great achievements in today's matter, I don't know what reward you want?"

"Father, I feel that this Di Renjie will be an important minister of the country in the future. Moreover, he was born in the Taiyuan Di family, so he is worthy of our royal princess."

"And Di Renjie has made great contributions today, why not give Di Renjie a marriage in public?" Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this, and then sized up Di Renjie.Seeing that Di Renjie was only four or five years old, he didn't know which princess to marry him for a while.

But at this time Di Renjie said: "Your Majesty, Di Renjie once met Princess Jinyang Li Mingda, and felt that he and Princess Jinyang got along very well. So Di Renjie dared to hope that the emperor can marry Princess Jinyang."

When Li Shimin heard that Di Renjie wanted to marry his Jinyang Princess Li Mingda, he couldn't help being taken aback.After all, that is Li Shimin's first princess.

Although Empress Changsun is not dead now, Li Shimin has not personally raised Jinyang Princess Li Mingda.But for this two-year-old daughter, that is also a deep love.

But Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin: "Father, Mingda's age is almost the same as Di Renjie's, so I think it's a good marriage."

"However, Erchen always advocates free love. So whether Di Renjie can win Mingda's heart or not depends on his own ability."

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this, and then said to Di Renjie: "As the prince said, it is up to you whether you can embrace the beauty. If Princess Jinyang has feelings for you, I am willing to marry her to you."

After hearing this, Di Renjie smiled all over his face, and thanked Li Shimin all the time.But Cheng Yaojin at the side muttered in a low voice, it's really messed up that brother's apprentice married his sister-in-law.
