Tang Dynasty: A Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls for Li Er at the Start

Chapter 130 The Japanese and the Turks are fighting!

"it's over?"

After Tang Jian reported the matter to Li Shimin, the latter couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Previously in the imperial court, he appeared calm and collected, but he was actually burning with anger inside.

If it weren't for the greater good, he would have killed that ignorant Turk long ago.

"Yes, I went to check on him myself. That guy named Bolu, the one who made those outrageous remarks in court before, was the one who got the worst beating. I heard that Wenxianzi even kicked him."

Although Tang Jian didn't witness the scene, he couldn't help but laugh when he heard his subordinates say that he thought about it.

Li Shimin shook his head and chuckled, "This rascal is just too playful. He's not afraid of the Turks' counterattack."

"Your Highness, I don't know what methods Wenxianzi used, but all those Turks have gotten drunk to death."

Tang Jian, as the Minister of Rites, had dealt with the Turks quite a bit over the years.

In his memory, the Turks had an enormous capacity for alcohol.

Even many of the great generals of the Tang Dynasty were no match for them when it came to drinking.

But today, these few Turks only drank a few jars of wine, and they were already so drunk that they were unconscious.

This is really strange.

"It's that brat who made this stuff, called alcohol. It was originally meant to treat injuries, but unfortunately it requires grain to brew, so I haven't let him expand the scale yet."

Wen He had already sent someone to tell him about this.

"I see."

Tang Jian nodded, silently making a mental note of it.

If he were to be sent as an envoy to the Turks in the future, he could buy some from Wenxianzi.

Perhaps if Jieli were happy, he would actually surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, this was just Tang Jian's own fantasy.

Even he himself knew that this was unrealistic.

Not long after, Tang Jian took his leave.

He had just left the Eastern Palace when he saw the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial waiting anxiously outside.

"What happened again?" Tang Jian asked, maintaining a stern demeanor.

Upon seeing this, the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial immediately felt reassured.

He quickly bowed to Tang Jian: "Minister, something terrible has happened! The Japanese and Turks have started fighting."

"okay."

Tang Jian nodded silently.

The Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial stood there, stunned for a long time, his face full of astonishment.

He even thought there was something wrong with his ears.

The fact that the Turks and the Japanese fought was something Tang Jian had anticipated.

After all, both leaders had been attacked, especially the Turks, whose chief envoy and deputy envoy were still unconscious.

Those Turks were never reasonable people to begin with.

Their anger and subsequent action were entirely understandable.

Tang Jian had originally intended to delay the Turks, but now that this farce had happened, it saved him the trouble of coming up with another idea.

The Japanese are full of wolfish ambitions; they deserve to be beaten now.

This is something Tang Jian is happy to see.

So he waved his hand and said.

"Ignore them. Wait until they've fought enough, then let the Imperial Guards clean up the mess."

"Really, we don't need to pay any attention to it?" the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies asked, still incredulous.

"Why don't you go and try to persuade them?" Tang Jian asked, dissatisfied.

The Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial quickly shook his head with a dry laugh.

He had no intention of getting involved in this mess. After all, both sides were foreigners, and even if they fought to the death, it would have nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty could even use this opportunity to reprimand both sides for their lack of manners.

"They really hit hard."

Baiqisi.

Zhang Wenxiao went to find out the news and reported back to Wen He.

"That little wild girl was beaten so badly she was barely recognizable. Those Turks were extremely ruthless; several of them lost their hands and feet."

"If they hadn't been unarmed at the Honglu Inn, there would have been bloodshed."

He was like a storyteller, vividly recounting what had happened at the Honglu Guest House. This time, the Turkic delegation consisted of more than twenty people, and each of them was a skilled fighter.

The Japanese side only had a dozen or so people, and they had already been badly beaten by the Turks disguised as a hundred cavalrymen, so they had no fighting power at all.

The one-sided battle was exactly what Wen He had expected.

"I'm worried that His Highness won't blame us since the Honglu Guest House is almost going to be demolished."

Xu Jingzong was worried that this matter would implicate him.

After all, this was a private operation by the Hundred Riders.

Although Wen He had spoken to His Highness the Crown Prince beforehand, His Highness neither agreed nor disagreed.

Wen He took a sip of the honey water, smacked her lips, and savored the taste.

Seeing his unhurried pace, Xu Jingzong and Huang Chun became somewhat anxious.

"Young master, please tell us, is this really His Highness's idea?"

Huang Chun asked.

He never expected things to escalate to this extent.

The Turks and Japanese in the Honglu Guest House were clearly determined to fight to the death.

If someone actually dies, don't use them as an excuse to blame others.

"What is it? I'm a little confused by what you're saying." Wen He looked at them with a puzzled expression, but under Xu Jingzong and Huang Chun's astonished gazes, he suddenly remembered.

"Oh, I remember now, you're talking about the Hundred Riders' recent training, right? I also feel like we've been slacking off. How about this, starting tomorrow, the first and second teams will go to the Forbidden Garden for a seven-day wilderness survival exercise."

Wen He made the decision on her own.

His irrelevant answer made Xu Jingzong realize what was going on, and the latter suddenly burst into laughter.

"Yes, yes, yes, the Hundred Riders have been lax lately. If this continues, His Highness will blame us. We'll start training tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, Wen He smiled at him and picked up her teacup to toast Xu Jingzong.

The latter understood and laughed even louder.

Seeing their posture, Huang Chun finally realized what was going on.

"Yes, this wasn't something we, the Hundred Cavalry, did. The Ministry of Rites and the Court of State Ceremonial should be the ones to worry about. Right, right, we should focus on taking care of the Hundred Cavalry."

The three leaders of the Hundred Riders exchanged glances and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Zhang Wenxiao couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

He thought to himself, 'No wonder His Highness put these three in charge of the hundred cavalry, especially this young Master Wen; at such a young age, his mind is so ruthless.'

Of course, he wouldn't dare say that.

Otherwise, Young Master Wen would definitely have rewarded him handsomely.

With just a few words, the three leaders of the Hundred Riders easily absolved themselves of responsibility.

But someone always has to clean up this mess.

Poor Tang Jian and the people of the Court of State Ceremonial had no choice but to bear this huge burden of blame.

"This young man Wen..."

Upon arriving at the Honglu Inn, seeing the mess everywhere and the Japanese people being carried out, Tang Jian sighed inwardly.

"Sir, you must stand up for us!"

A man with a pig's head stumbled and rushed towards Tang Jian, wailing as if his father had died.

"These Turks are far too arrogant. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, has been beaten to a pulp."

Looking at the little wild horse like this.

Tang Jian almost suffered internal injuries from holding it in.

ruthless.

That's really too ruthless.

The following day at the court assembly, Tang Jian took him to meet Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was furious, but at that moment, the Turkic envoy Aibar, who had just woken up, also requested an audience to accuse the Japanese of plotting against them.

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately lost his anger.

There was even some anticipation.

He wanted to see what face those arrogant Turks would have left to swagger in the Tang Dynasty after suffering such a great loss.

Didn't you say you were very powerful?
Why can't they even deal with the mere Japanese?
'That brat Wen He has given me a huge surprise this time.'

"Announce that the Turkic delegation has come for questioning."
