In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan beat Li Shimin at the beginning

Chapter 129 Impeachment for receiving foreign guests

The Tubo man hit his horse and ran back in a hurry.When he came in front of Lu Dongzan, he said loudly, "President, the Tang people don't welcome us, they don't want to go out of the city to welcome us. Otherwise, let's go back!"

Yes, almost everyone was very dissatisfied with Lu Dongzan's gift of [-] cows, [-] sheep and [-] war horses to Datang.

Except for Lu Dongzan and Tugu Poman, almost no one in the team wanted to enter Chang'an City.

There is no way, after entering Chang'an City, these things belong to others.It hurts to see them!

Lu Dongzan said with a cold face: "Niang Xipi slammed, do you know what you are talking about? You remember, the purpose of our visit this time is to find allies for our Tibetan diplomacy, not for our Tibetans. enemy's."

Yes, you read that right, this guy's name is Niang Xipi Ruanzan.He is the highest military attache in the mission team and Lu Dongzan's right-hand man.

The maiden surname is the common surname of Tubo.

Niang Xipi praised and said angrily: "President, we are too weak to do this, I don't accept it."

Lu Dongzan said angrily: "If you don't accept it, you can bear it for me. If you dare to make another mistake, you will definitely not be spared. Tell me, who is the person who came to welcome us?"

Niang Xipi praised and said helplessly: "He said his name is Li Ke, and he is His Royal Highness Shu King of the Tang Kingdom."

Lu Dongzan narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you having a conflict with him? Tell me."

Niang Xipi praised and said unconvinced: "He refused to go out of the city to meet us, saying that he was a prince to welcome us, and he has given us a lot of face. Do you accept this? There are many princes in Datang, who is he?" ?”

Lu Dongzan immediately became angry.

"Bastard, did you say such a thing in front of him?"

Niang Xipi praised and said very unconvinced: "I said it, what's the matter? The two countries are in mutual relations, if you don't kill me, how dare he do anything to me?"

"you……"

Lu Dongzan was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

He held back his anger and said, "You bastard, do you know who Li Ke is? Do you know that the cattle, sheep and horses we brought this time were for him, not for Datang.

The purpose of our visit this time is to make friends with him.You bastard!You'd better go over and apologize to him now, and hope he can forgive you, otherwise, no one can save you. "

"What? Let me apologize to him?"

Niang Xipi praised very unconvinced and said: "President, I have always admired you. But this time, you have let us down so much."

Yes, almost all the generals in the team disagreed with Lu Dongzan's actions this time.

As a military commander, if you want to fight, you can fight.Who is afraid of whom?

However, this Prime Minister who they have always admired did this thing that they could not accept.

Lu Dongzan was furious, completely angry: "Mother Xipi praised me, I just want to ask you, are you still listening to my order?"

Niang Xipi bowed her head and said, "Listen."

Lu Dongzan said: "Just listen. Now, I order you to immediately follow me to apologize to His Highness the King of Shu. Otherwise, military law will be used."

Niang Xipi was so speechless that she could only ride a horse and follow Lu Dongzan and his party towards the gate of the city.

There are more than 3000 people in Lu Dongzan's party, plus so many animals, standing on the top of the city gate and looking over, it is a large area of ​​darkness.

Lu Dongzan came to the bottom of the city gate and said loudly in Tang dialect: "The one above the gate tower is His Highness the King of Shu? The foreign envoy Lu Dongzan sent you the things according to His Highness Shu's request." .”

Li Ke said: "It's me. Please wait a moment, I will send someone out of the city to hand over to you."

Li Ke turned his head to look at Yuchi Baolin and said, "Little Heitantou, take someone there and take the things for me. Except for the war horse, send all the other things to me on Dongshan."

Yuchi Baolin cupped her hands and said, "Here."

Yes, war horses are military supplies, and Li Ke can't have them, but other things are fine.

Niang Xipi praised Li Ke for seeing that Li Ke still looked superior, and he was unwilling to even go out to hand over.Immediately, he was so angry that his nose was crooked.

"Grand Minister, take a look! This Li Ke is so conceited that he doesn't even want to come out of the city for the handover, let alone come out to meet him. If we do this, we will really embarrass us."

Lu Dong couldn't help but say, "Mother Xipi praised me, this time I asked you to follow me, did I ask you to help me, or did I ask you to make trouble for me?"

Mother Xipi praised her so much that she dared not speak.

Lu Dongzan said: "You, now I order you to apologize to His Highness King Shu immediately."

Niang Xipi gritted her teeth fiercely, and shouted helplessly towards the upper gate of the city gate: "His Royal Highness, I'm sorry, I was rude just now, please forgive me, His Royal Highness."

Li Ke heard the voice and knew who it was.

Laughed.

"Lu Dongzan, do you think I should forgive him or not? Do you know what he said to me just now?"

Lu Dongzan said: "His Royal Highness Shu, he is a military commander, he is stupid and can't speak. Please forgive me, His Royal Highness Shu.

His Royal Highness the King of Shu, we are here this time because we sincerely want to make good friends with Datang.He is my most loyal subordinate, please forgive me His Highness King Shu. "

The official of the Ministry of Rites quickly said to Li Ke: "His Royal Highness, please take into account the reputation of our Tang Dynasty, so that we can't be killed!"

Li Ke was speechless. Just now, he really had the idea of ​​killing this guy.

However, the rule of not beheading has been handed down to later generations, and it makes sense for Li Ke to think about it.

Then he said: "Okay! Lu Dongzan, since he is your most loyal subordinate, then I will give you this face and spare him!

However, with his character, I guess something will happen.Lu Dongzan, you have to take care of him.If something happens again, then I can't spare him. "

Lu Dongzan hurriedly cupped his hands towards the city gate and said, "Lu Dongzan thanked His Royal Highness the King of Shu."

Niang Xipi praised it fiercely but was very disdainful.

What did I say?What did I say?I said he didn't dare to kill him, right?
The prime minister just likes to fuss over trivial matters, isn't he just a prince?There are so many princes in Datang, what is he?
Of course Li Ke didn't know what he was thinking.

The handover went smoothly.By the time Li Ke returned to the Taiji Interchange Hall, the court meeting had come to an end.

Li Ke walked into the Taiji Hall, cupped his hands to Li Shimin and said, "Father, the work you entrusted to me to receive the Tubo envoys has been completed, everything is going well, please rest assured, Father."

At this moment, Wang Gui couldn't sit still.

Yes, he is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he has just returned to the court because of the problem of receiving foreign guests.He has been waiting here for Li Ke's words!

Therefore, Li Ke's voice just fell.Wang Gui immediately stood up.

I saw him bowing his hands to Li Shimin, who was in a high position, and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Shu lied. He didn't receive foreign guests according to the prescribed etiquette, which ruined our Tang Dynasty's reputation. I think that we must be punished."
