The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 538: Mutual Trade between the Two Countries

When Zhao Chen and others left Chang'an City, in the Taiji Hall, today's court meeting was not over yet.

Tubo once again sent an envoy, which no one expected.

Datang and Tubo were still confronting each other on the border.

Songtsen Gampo actually dared to send an envoy over.

This was without any concern that they would directly kill Lu Dongzan.

After all, after Songzhou City was captured by the Tubo people, the people of Songzhou City suffered a lot.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites did not report Lu Dongzan's mission to Li Shimin until last night.

Li Shimin was so angry that he dismissed a minister from the Ministry of Rites.

Today, in the court, Li Shimin wanted to discuss with a group of ministers how to deal with Lu Dongzan's mission.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Foreign Minister Lu Dongzan once again sincerely requests that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty agree to open border trade between the two countries. Lu Dongzan stood in the center of the Tai Chi Hall and bowed to Li Shimin.

Lu Dongzan thought about it all night yesterday and knew that if he wanted to find Zhao Chen for revenge, he would have to persuade Li Shimin to agree to open a mutual market.

Otherwise, the Tubo people would have no food and would have no way out except to fight against the Tang Dynasty.

By that time, there was no one left.

How can you say that you are going to take revenge on Zhao Chen?

However, the current situation in Tubo cannot be hidden from anyone even if Lu Dongzan does not tell it himself.

The little Tibetans are really ridiculous. They launched a merciless sneak attack on Songzhou City in the Tang Dynasty, which led to a sudden military disaster. Many of the soldiers and people of our Tang Dynasty died.

Now that Tubo is short of food and salt, it wants to ask us to open a mutual trade?

Is Songtsen Gampo's head missing a muscle? Cheng Yaojin was the first to stand up and said to Lu Dongzan with a sneer.

In a war, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are always at the forefront.

If Tubo says it won’t fight, then it won’t fight?

If you say open a mutual market, then open a mutual market?

Like child's play?

Cheng Yaojin didn't rush up and knock Lu Dongzan down immediately, which was enough to give the emperor face.

My lord, please be respectful with your words. We Zanpu have the same status as His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If a foreign minister insults His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, what do you think? Lu Dongzan looked at Cheng Yao Jin, said displeasedly.

You bitch, how dare you...

Know your integrity and stand down! Li Shimin waved his hand to stop Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin retreated gloomily.

Then I heard Li Shimin say, If I don't agree to open the mutual market, what are Songtsen Gampo going to do?

Lu Dongzan was obviously well prepared. When he heard Li Shimin's temptation, he immediately turned cold and said calmly, If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is unwilling to open the mutual market, Zan Pu said, he will have no choice but to take risks and compete with the Tang army. The worst thing is that the country will be destroyed, but His Majesty the Emperor will not take much advantage.

If His Majesty the Emperor doesn't believe it, just give it a try...

Be bold!

presumptuous!

How dare you threaten me, the Saint of the Tang Dynasty, in a barbarian land?

When did the Tubo barbarians become so audacious? You think I, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, are afraid of death. If you want to fight, the men of the Tang Dynasty will accompany you to the end!

Your Majesty, please give me your order to lead the army to fight to the death with the Tibetan barbarians!

Lu Dongzan's almost humiliating words once made the generals look disgusted.

What does Songtsen Gampo of Tubo mean?

Do you think that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are all useless?

How dare you say such threatening words?

No one would realize that Lu Dongzan, an envoy, dared to say such arrogant words without Songtsen Gampo's instructions.

Moreover, it was clearly Tubo who came to seek cooperation!

Your Majesty, the Tibetan barbarians have deceived me into having no one in the Tang Dynasty. This person must not be spared lightly. Please launch an attack on Tibet immediately. I am willing to accompany the army on the expedition!

Although I am a scholar and old in age, I still miss the days when I followed His Majesty in the east and west, and all the forces in the war surrendered. If there is a war, why would I regret my broken body?

Your Majesty, the Tubo barbarians have humiliated me so much. If I don't give them a hard slap, they won't know the pain.

Your Majesty, although I am a civil servant, I am capable of wielding a sword. Although I do not understand the art of war, I am full of passion. Tubo has insulted me, and I wish I could kill some cities in Luo. Your Majesty, please do not hesitate and immediately organize your troops to prepare for war.

The Tang Dynasty was founded less than twenty years ago.

In fact, many of the civil servants in the court were old people who had experienced the founding war of the Tang Dynasty.

They may not have the strength to restrain a chicken, and they may not understand the art of war.

But the passion in his heart has not dissipated.

When they heard that Lu Dongzan was so contemptuous of the Tang Dynasty, which they loved as much as their lives, the civil servants also turned red-eyed.

Everyone looked sharply at Lu Dongzan in the middle.

The entire dynasty was full of civil and military officials, and people were excited at this moment.

This situation has not happened for many years.

Many times, these guys argue in court to seek benefits for themselves and those they support.

But today...

Ludongzan only conveyed Songtsen Gampo's meaning.

But he didn't expect that all the officials in the Tang Dynasty would share the same hatred after hearing his contemptuous words.

In just a moment, Lu Dongzan's back was soaked with cold sweat.

He was not worried about his life, but he felt that the Tang court, which was so unanimous in dealing with the outside world, was really something that Tubo could deal with?

Although Tubo looks

It is a unified voice, but each tribe has its own opinions.

If it weren't for the ability of the current Zampo Songtsen Gampo, Tubo would have been in chaos.

But even so, facing the Tang Dynasty court that was so unanimously open to the outside world, Lu Dongzan really didn't think they had half a chance of winning.

It seems that instead of threatening them, what he said just now has the opposite effect, making them share the same enemy.

Li Shimin was very satisfied.

Although these ministers constantly make things difficult for themselves on weekdays.

There are also many little thoughts of his own.

But in the face of big right and wrong, you can still understand it clearly!

Lu Dongzan, you have also seen that it is not that I am unwilling to open the mutual market, but what you just said made all the officials feel dissatisfied.

If you can convince them, I might be able to give you a chance. Li Shimin said lightly, with a hint of joking flashing across his face.

In fact, Li Shimin was also a little worried.

Tubo Mountain is high and the road is far away, and there is also the altitude sickness that Zhao Chen mentioned.

If he was not confident enough, he did not want to engage in a life-and-death battle with Tubo.

When Tubo is in desperate situation, it will definitely fight to the death with the Tang garrison.

Although as an emperor, he could not be too merciful, but Li Shimin was still unwilling to let more innocent people die in this war.

Therefore, his last sentence gave Lu Dongzan a step up.

As for whether he can catch it, it depends on fate.

Your Majesty... Fang Xuanling was about to persuade Li Shimin not to let Lu Dongzan go, when he saw him shaking his head.

Fang Xuanling sighed and said no more.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the foreign minister just now also made a blunder. I ask His Majesty the Emperor not to blame him.

If possible, I would like to... Lu Dongzan's voice sounded in the Tai Chi Hall.
