Chapter 334 Poor acting skills
At the hour of the hour, a ray of sunlight shone on the palace tiles of the imperial city, faintly shining with colors like colorful glazed glass.

The good news came too late last night, and it was too exciting, Li Shimin didn't even close his eyes in the middle of the night.

The court meeting was still the same, and Li Shimin, who was staring at the two eye circles, was still full of energy, and he could not see much fatigue.

The civil and military officials who entered the court first heard the news of the battle report in the Western Territory, and they celebrated with each other, which raised the joyful atmosphere of the entire Tai Chi Hall.

After all the ministers calmed down a little from their joy, Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, waved his sleeves and motioned for Eunuch Rong to read out the letter from Tubo that he had just received.

After taking small steps, Eunuch Rong walked up to the top of the jade steps, and his sharp and long voice rang through the hall.

"When I first visited the Tang Dynasty, the prosperous and prosperous times mentioned by the envoys were fascinating. When I was in Tubo, I was also shocked by what I saw and heard... As the same king, Sun Zan would like to apologize for the festivals of the envoys. Tanghai accepts all rivers and rivers, regardless of previous suspicions...Friendly neighbors and prosperity are the cornerstone of the foundation of the Tubo Empire, Sun Zan dare not disobey, and still needs to learn from the Great Tang."

"... I heard that the western frontier border is raging, and the people are displaced. Sun Zan agrees to be the lord of the country, and he hates such evil deeds by the Tuman... The western frontier is adjacent to Tubo, and Sun Zan has become a righteous army. The pawn helps one or two, with the feeling of resentment in the heart of the book."

"... My son liked to read Tang poetry and essays since he was a child, and he was often addicted to it. He was especially in love with the graceful women in the Central Plains. Seeing that he was married to the age, I hope that the king of Tang can fulfill his little long-cherished wish and make the friendship between the two countries even stronger. Go up to the next floor, Sun Zan thank you."

It's a large piece of eloquence, and I just finished reading it when it's close to a cup of tea.

Lowering his voice, Eunuch Rong moistened his lips before bowing to His Majesty and holding the scroll.

"Your Majesty, the reading is over."

With a slight nod of his head, Li Shimin swept his eyes across the four with a smile on his face.

"My love, what do you think?"

The court officials looked at each other with extremely rich expressions.

There is surprise, there is disgust, there is contemplation...

snort!
Yuchi Jingde was the first to break the deadlock in the hall where no one answered, strode into the hall, and bowed his hands towards the dragon seat.

"His Majesty."

"This polite tone of voice looks like the work of a literati son. How can a king ask me to talk about these matters like a family letter?"

"Furthermore, that guy from Tubo made a fuss in the imperial city for a few days, blatantly insulting me, a scholar of the Tang Dynasty, a man of martial arts. If it wasn't for being severely taught, I'm afraid I would be able to brag to the sky."

"Now just two short apologies, I want to write off the matter, perfunctory, too perfunctory!"

Yuchi Jingde pointed to the southwest, his face full of indignation.

"According to me, if you want to admit your mistake, you should let those envoys come again and explain the matter clearly in front of everyone in the emperor, instead of just holding a scroll and thinking about it."

Hey~!

Amidst the elongated voice, the civil servants in civilian robes stepped out of the queue and moved forward with their arms crossed.

"Yichi Jiangjun, the sage Confucius said that it is a great pleasure to have friends come from afar."

"Even if the king apologizes in person, since he has seen his sincerity, why bother to insist on apologizing in person, if he has to be reasonable and refuses to forgive others, isn't this a violation of our Great Tang demeanor?"

Fang Xuanling glanced sideways at the scribe who spoke just now, neither wanting to object nor agreeing.

Apologizing for this kind of thing, to what extent and in what way, there is no express regulation, and it is unnecessary to argue about these false things.

Strutting forward, he bowed to Li Shimin who was sitting on the Dragon Throne.

"His Majesty."

"This letter of credence from Officer Sun Zan is more like a letter from the family. At the beginning, he lowered his posture, giving people the feeling of whispering among friends. It is a kind of psychological attack, which is extremely difficult to refuse."

"The words are sincere, but when it comes to the king, he never backs down. He maintains the majesty of his own king invisibly. In fact, it shows that he still has the ambition to compete with the Tang Dynasty in his heart."

"On the whole, a letter from the family, deliberately lowering the status, is indeed a wedding dress for the in-laws."

Slightly raising his head, he glanced at all the officials in the hall, and Fang Xuanling's eyes finally fell on Li Shimin.

"The past is over, let go with the wind."

"The most important thing right now is how to deal with this in-law."

Literati's strong point is to chew on words and words. From the superficial hype, analyzing the true intentions of the Tubo Khan immediately made many generals in the entire court realize it.

Zhang Gongjin, who has never been very involved in government affairs, laughed and walked out of the ranks of generals.

It is not difficult to see the contempt for such a deliberate flattery in the cold expression, as well as the disgust for this letter of credentials.

"He shouted for friendship, good neighborliness, and solidarity, but when the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were besieged in Lingzhou, the Tubo army did not make any movement."

"After the crisis was lifted, the Tang army was strong and swept the Tuyuhun army. These Tubo sages stood up."

"What a good-neighborly Anbang, the words are high-sounding, and the conspiracy behind it cannot be underestimated!"

The words can be regarded as expressing the hearts of many courtiers, and they nodded secretly.

Changsun Wuji stared at Zhang Gongjin for a moment, then lowered his head and sighed, watching his feet step out slowly.

"What General Zhang said is true, but after all, this letter has already been handed over to the court, and it can be regarded as the voice of Tubo Khan in public and private. If Datang talks about these events after what happened, more people will be heard Misinterpreting the meaning, chewing the root of the tongue, it seems that the Tang Dynasty is stingy when speaking, this is the brilliance of Tubo."

Clasping his hands to the dragon seat, Changsun Wuji continued.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, Tubo's dispatch of troops is not to seek the territory of our Great Tang. It is worthy of praise. It can also show the wishes of the Great Tang to the surrounding countries. It should be solemnly replied and rewarded."

"Dragon's descendants and grandchildren are all rich, and they are married to the plateau and barren land. Not to mention the long and bumpy journey, even this daily life is uncomfortable. At this time, we need to think about it in the long run."

It is not unheard of to marry far away from home, and it is true that as the letter said, at least it can be exchanged for several years of stability.

Ordinary people marry their daughters, as parents, they are very reluctant to give up, let alone this is the heir of an emperor, who would dare to easily use this matter as a bargaining chip?
Changsun Wuji's words fell, and Fang Xuanling also took over.

"Now it is the Tang Dynasty's heyday, and the surrounding neighbors have established diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty. It is only the first time that Tubo has negotiated with the Tang Dynasty. It is too whimsical to think of such a good thing."

"Yes."

The husky words resounded in the hall, and Gao Shilian bowed his hands towards the dragon seat.

"Your Majesty, it is a good thing that Tubo will examine Duodu."

"Now that we have won the first battle in the Western Territory, and Tuyuhun has been retreating steadily, it is just around the corner that our Great Tang will dominate the Western Territory."

"Tubo and other barbaric tribes might as well suppress them, and let him know that our Great Tang is not what he wants."

Hahaha.

Hearing what you said and what you said in the audience, Li Shimin laughed.

"My dear friends, I never said that I would agree to this matter."

"There is a folk saying that the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. My princesses are all extremely intelligent, so how can they marry so easily?"

"That's it."

After waving to Eunuch Rong, Li Shimin's eyes flickered and he said in a deep voice.

"Draft a cursive script for me, reject this matter..."
