Originally, the general restaurant smashed and made trouble, although the scene was very loud, but at best it was only a civil dispute, and the government would only settle the dispute on the spot, unless the consequences were extremely serious or the bitter lord requested, otherwise it would not lock people to the government or anything.

However, the perpetrators of this meeting are foreigners and involve diplomatic relations between the two countries, so the yamen will naturally not deal with the matter simply. The owner of the first floor was naturally not reconciled, and his restaurant was smashed by a group of foreign barbarians in vain, and there was no response.

Because these Tubo people were dressed very differently from the people of the Han Kingdom, walking on the street, they were already eye-catching, and they were arrested by the government and taken to the Yamen, which attracted a lot of Han people, curious to follow and explore.

Soon, this incident became known to everyone.

And they mingled with the people who followed them, and went into the yamen together.

Today, the official on duty in the yamen, surnamed Wen and Mingyi, was originally an old minister in the Chu State. However, in the early days of the founding of the Han Dynasty, literature and art quickly returned to the rule of the new state, and through hard work, passed the official assessment of the Bureau of Statistics and became an official Han official.

The laws and regulations of the Han Kingdom are sound, and there are few lawsuits. Wenyi, who didn't know it yet, was sitting behind the yamen lobby at this time, drinking tea and chatting with several colleagues, so uncomfortable.

Suddenly, a government official hurriedly ran in to report the situation, and when Wenyi heard it, he immediately felt that the case on the first floor was extraordinary and quite tricky. The facts of the case on the first floor are clear, and the trouble is the role of the person involved.

Literature and art didn't know what to do for a while, because he didn't understand the attitude of the lord of the Han State towards the Tubo State. He was well aware of the complexity of the case. It is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and if you are not careful and mishandle it, you may cause even greater trouble.

In the impression of literature and art, Tibet has always been a barbarian country. At that time, the three kingdoms of Qi, Jin, and Chu conquered each other, and they had no time to take care of others, so they mostly adopted a pacification policy for the Tubo State. Plus. The Tibetan State originally had no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses. It deserves to be treated as such. Therefore, under the arrogance of the Three Kingdoms, the attitude of the Tubo people towards these Three Kingdoms is also extremely unruly.

But. Tibet could not directly threaten the Three Kingdoms for a short time. Lord of the Three Kingdoms. Most are ignored. The Tubo people committed crimes in the Three Kingdoms, and they often went unpunished.

For the Tubo State, if it weren't for the Gao Chang State in front of the Tubo State to attract the attention of the Tubo State. The Tubo State had long put its mind on these three countries.

After thinking twice, literature and art have made a decision at the moment. On the one hand, he immediately sent someone to report the incident to his superiors and ask the officials how to deal with this case involving the Tibetans. On the other hand, literature and art made people announce outside the yamen that the case would be tried publicly. If something goes wrong, literature and art can also excuse it, and the case is tried in public.

The fast hunting team that escorted these Tibetans arrived at Yamen not long after. Under the protection of Wang San'an and Wang Gui, Du Le mixed in the crowd and crowded in the yamen to listen to the trial.

I saw the literary dress sitting in the presiding judge's seat, questioning the case.

The second little boy on the first floor of the store who was allowed to be the first to step forward and truthfully report what happened to Wenyi according to the order.

Du Le stood in the crowd and agreed with the description of the shopkeeper, because he really didn't add a word. Of course, the focus of Dian Xiaoer's description is naturally more about the unreasonable troubles of the Tubo people.

However, to Du Le's surprise, when the shopkeeper finished describing, Wenyi began to ask the Tubo people whether the shopkeeper's description was true. And the Tubo people not only didn't say a word, but their attitude was extremely disdainful, and they snorted coldly from time to time.

"Bold, you are a barbarian, you dare to despise the government, and immediately answer the official's question." Wenyi didn't expect that the Tubo people would really give him a boost in front of the public, which made him feel extremely unauthoritarian for a while, which made him angry and red-faced. But in order not to lose fairness, Wenyi suppressed the anger in his heart, and interrogated several guest officials who saw the entire case on the first floor, including An Huang and Zhang Yi, all of whom described the same thing, and some tables, chairs, dishes and plates that were smashed by the Tubo people as physical evidence.

These witnesses and material evidence are enough to confirm the facts of the crimes committed by several Tibetans. Literature and Art thought that the evidence was sufficient, so he patted the shocked wood and prepared for the verdict.

"Why do you want to arrest my people from the Tibetan country?" Suddenly, a loud voice sounded at the entrance of the yamen. This voice was full of energy, resounding through the government, and before seeing his person, he showed his power first.

Du Le and the others, who were very close to the door, were also a little surprised, and couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

But when he saw the crowded crowd at the door, he spontaneously made a gap, and three people wearing Tubo costumes walked in with a grin. They have a bad attitude and they don't see anyone in sight.

Seeing this, Wenyi was slightly startled, but immediately reminded himself to recover. These people dare to roar in court in the government under their jurisdiction, if they are not investigated, where is their official authority? If you want to spread the word, how will you serve the public in the future? Even the Tibetans can't do that. Wenyi was very dissatisfied, so he asked sharply, "Who are you?" Dare to roar in court, don't you know that this is a big crime? ”

Among these three people, one of the Tubo people was dressed differently from the other two, and wore a golden shawl, and even the belt was different from that worn by ordinary Tubo people. Du Le believed that he should be a nobleman of the Tibetan state.

Hearing the words of literature and art, this Tibetan nobleman smiled disapprovingly and said: "We are Tubo people, and the laws of your Han Kingdom cannot govern us." ”

"Presumptuous, as long as you are in the territory of Han, you must obey the laws of Han!" Literature and art shouted.

In order to increase the momentum, the two rows of catchers in the yamen suddenly shouted in unison to the Tubo people: "Presumptuous! ”

The faces of the Tubo nobles did not change, they still maintained that unmoved smile, but their tone was extremely arrogant, and said: "Han State dog official, don't make trouble for your lord, our Tubo country is not a small country like Qi Jin, if you can't get along with us, even your lord has to weigh it." ”

As a scholar, Wenyi was so angry by these Tubo barbarians that he blushed and said angrily: "I am a soldier of the Han Kingdom. Invincible, how can you compare with it! ”

"That's because the Han army didn't meet the Tubo army, otherwise why didn't your lord dare to see our Tubo mission, it's not that he was afraid of our Tubo army." The Tibetan nobleman chuckled.

"Speak wildly! Who are you? Wenyi asked.

"Listen, I'm the third prince of Tubo, Haran." The Tibetan nobleman raised his chin, looked down at literature and art, and replied proudly.

As soon as Harlan's identity was raised, it immediately caused an uproar in the crowd, and ordinary people didn't have much contact with the royal family and nobles on weekdays. Hearing the identity of the other party, he was amazed. Naturally, there was a lot of discussion. However, most of the people of the Han Kingdom did not like the publicity of the three princes of Tubo.

"It doesn't matter who you are. As long as you break the law in Han. will be severely punished by the national law of the Han Kingdom! Seeing this, Literature and Art were shocked. Restore silence in the courtroom, then ignore Harlan's presence and continue the interrupted process. The verdict was handed down, saying: "According to the human and physical evidence, these three Tubo people maliciously smashed the first floor, causing serious losses on the first floor, the evidence is conclusive, and the charge of malicious smashing is true." In accordance with the laws of the Han Kingdom, I pronounced a sentence on the three Tibetan sinners, each of whom was sentenced to ten lashes, and full compensation was given to the economic losses on the first floor. Come on, let's carry out the flogging first! "The literary tone is firm and non-negotiable.

Haran didn't expect that his identity as the third prince of the Tubo Kingdom would still be ignored, and he couldn't stand the pointing and pointing of the people of the Han Kingdom around him, so he was annoyed and angry at the moment, threw out the official authority of the Tubo Kingdom, and shouted: "You are so bold that you dare to confront the third prince of Tubo." As he spoke, he drew the saber at his waist to seize the momentum.

Seeing this, the catchers on both sides of the government immediately pulled out the matching knives on their waists, preparing to step forward to meet the enemy once the other party made a move.

Seeing this, the other two Tubo entourage, who had been standing beside Harlan without speaking, hurriedly stepped forward to grab Harlan and stop his impulsive behavior. Persuaded: "The Han people are used to bullying more and less, and the third prince should be careful not to be fooled!" ”

"If you dare to whip the Tibetan people, it is a provocation by the Han State against the Tibetan State! I swear in the name of the three princes of the Tibetan Kingdom that I will raise an army to crusade against the Han Kingdom, and let your lord personally apologize! Harlan threatened the literature and art in the hall.

Wenyi was taken aback, he didn't expect the third prince of Tubo to behave so crazy and dare to threaten a Han official on the territory of the Han State, but he didn't react for a while.

Without waiting for Wenyi to answer, Du Le stood up and said to Harlan: "Can your words really represent the entire Tubo country?" ”

Harlan's attention was all focused on literature and art, but he didn't expect to meet a stunned person, and a Han man who walked out at random dared to speak to him with the attitude of this gang of criminals. In Tibet, Harlan was used to the days of the stars and the moon, and he couldn't stand such a shame, so he was even more angry, and said angrily: "Nonsense! I am not only the son of the king of Tibet, but also the representative of the mission of the state of Tibet, and my words are the words of the king of Tibet. As long as this dog official dares to whip the Tubo people, it will be a serious provocation to the Tubo! ”

"Okay, then you can go back to recruit troops and buy horses, and our Han Kingdom accepts your declaration of war by the Tubo State." Douple replied calmly, but with a cold irony in his words.

It was not only the third prince Harlan who was frightened by these bold words, but also the literary and artistic people who were surprised when they heard this, and immediately asked Du Le: "Who are you?" "For literature and art, there is a lot of excitement today, and the young man in front of him is not an ordinary character, and he thinks that he has not met so many big people at one time at the end of the year.

Du Le did not declare his identity with such fanfare as Harlan did, but instead changed the topic, looked back at literature and art with a smile, and replied: "Lord Wen, your punishment is not wrong, it is fair and strict, and the handling is appropriate, and you will be praised by the imperial court." After speaking, Du Le smiled and took Wang San'an and Wang Gui away.

After An Huang and Zhang Yi testified, they saw Du Le leave, and they also left.

Du Le's words caused an even greater uproar in the crowd. No one knew who Du Le was, and everyone looked at the back of Du Le and his party, and they were pointing and guessing. Today's yamen is estimated to soon become a hot topic for storytellers on the first floor.

Literature and art are even more confused. Could it be that this young man is a high-ranking official sent by the imperial court? Thinking of this, literature and art broke out in a cold sweat, fortunately he judged fairly, otherwise the black veil on his head would not be guaranteed, if this person went back to report to the court, he would have to live with his head up.

Under normal circumstances, the lords of the country are considered to be busy with the government and politics, busy with cultivating immortals, and staying in the palace all day long, so from the words that Du Le dropped, he only guessed that Du Le was a secret visit from the imperial court or something. He didn't expect that. Du Le was the lord of the Han Kingdom.

Just when literature and art were a little confused, the person he sent to report to his superiors happened to come back. The minister of the Han State, the ruler of the government, personally issued an order that no matter how high or low the status is, any foreigner who commits a crime in the Han State must be sentenced in accordance with the Han law, and the same crime as the civilians of the Han State.

There are more advanced people in charge, and there are naturally fewer scruples in the hearts of literature and art. After getting the message. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately ordered the court to arrest and execute the caning. Not only that, if the Tubo people do not pay full compensation according to the judgment, the Tubo people who participated in the smashing. You're going to be locked up in a cell. Until it is settled. If you keep stubborn. If they fail to pay fines or indemnities for a long time, they will become recalcitrant criminals of the Han Kingdom and be sent to the mines to mine to atone for their crimes.

The pestle is in the center of the court. But Harlan, the third prince of the Tubo Kingdom, finally realized at this time that he was reckless and impulsive, and seemed to have done something that was not good for the Tubo Kingdom. But Harlan didn't understand where the feeling that made his heart palpitate came from.

Seeing literature and art, he insisted on flogging several Tibetan people who smashed the first floor, Harlan knew that he was not on his side, so he could only look at literature and art with hatred, as if he engraved today's shame in his heart. Despite Harlan's recklessness today, that doesn't mean he's a brave man. He understands that there are not many followers brought this time, and if he falls out, he is afraid that he will not be able to fight against the government's arrest at all.

Harlan snorted coldly, said no more, turned around and left with two of his attendants. He didn't want to look at the Tibetans and be punished with whipping in front of him. But in Harlan's heart, a revenge plan has begun to be brewed, to be ashamed of today. He wanted to go back immediately and consult with the people of the Tibetan embassy about how to take advantage of this matter, find an opportunity to seek justice from the lord of the Han state, and make a request for compensation.

Although Harlan's wishful thinking was loud, he committed a taboo in the army, and he didn't know how to know himself and his opponent in order to win all battles. If he had seen Du Le and recognized that the young man who had confronted him in court just now was Du Le, the lord of the Han Kingdom, it is estimated that he would not be so ignorant of the heavens and the earth and grudge against the Han Kingdom again.

After Du Le returned to the palace, he immediately summoned the ruler and ordered him to immediately summon all the officials and hold a court meeting.

All the officials of the Han State have become accustomed to it, because the whereabouts of the lord of the country are uncertain, and this meeting of the hundred officials of the Han State is held from time to time. The handling of day-to-day state affairs is mainly examined and approved by the state minister and issued by the government minister. However, once there is a meeting of the hundred officials, almost every time it means that a major event is about to occur in the Han Kingdom.

As a result, none of the hundred officials who received the summoning order dared to slack off, and they hurried to the palace hall in various ways.

Sure enough, when hundreds of officials gathered in the palace hall of the Han Kingdom, they received a court order that shocked them.

The lord of the country ordered to declare war on the state of Tibet! Suddenly, in the main hall, a thousand waves were stirred.

However, many officials immediately stood up to express their opposition. The reason for their opposition is nothing more than that at this time, the Han State has just been founded, and its foundation is unstable, and it is just when it is time to recuperate and recuperate, or it is just over the war, and the people are at peace, and if it causes war again, they are afraid that they will lose the support of the people and be detrimental to the country, etc.

These Han officials, from the perspectives of population, food, and economy, wanted to show Du Le the disadvantages of fighting with the Tibetan state. Not only that, some Han generals were also worried that a war with the Tibetan State might cause instability in Yunzhou. Ming may take advantage of the opportunity.

Du Le understood the concerns of the officials, and the southern part of the Tubo Kingdom and the Han Kingdom was separated by snow-capped mountains and natural dangers. However, the north is different, and it may have to face the blows of the Tibetan army directly. If the Ming army took the opportunity to unite with the Tibetan State and attack on two fronts, the crisis faced by the Han State would be much greater than it is now. At that time, the military strength that the Han State would have to consume was immeasurable.

These hundred officials who sat firmly in the imperial court did not know what was happening today, but Du Le understood that the Tubo State would definitely not give up this time, and instead of being in a passive defense, it was better to strike first, gain an advantage, and surrender to the Tubo, so that it was not enough to fear that the Ming State might be in cahoots with the Tubo.

Moreover, the apprehensions displayed by these hundred officials were not sufficient in Du Le's opinion to pose a threat. And the reason why the hundred officials are worried is because they don't understand the strength of the Han State and don't understand Du Le's confidence.

In addition, Du Le wanted to establish a base in Tubo and conquer the matter, but it was decided sooner or later, and since there is a fuse today, this decision cannot be changed. But in order to convince the public, Du Le bypassed the plan to establish a base and roughly told the officials what happened today:

"Today, the third prince of the Tibetan Kingdom officially declared war on me, and I also agreed to his declaration of war. Therefore, war between the two countries is inevitable. Rather than worrying about the adverse effects of war, you should find a way to solve the administrative problems faced by the Han State in annexing the Tibetan State. Du Le pressed down on the argument of the hundred officials and said calmly.

"I don't need too many Han troops to go out, but I need brave men to help me occupy the city. In addition, there is a need for some officials to be responsible for administering the new cities after our Han State conquers the Tibetan State. Du Le continued.

The lord of the country had made up his mind, and the hundred officials of the Han State did not dare to be disobedient, so they could only stop dissuasing and began to think about how to transfer grassroots officials. And the brave and good generals pondered whether they could get the opportunity to go on the expedition.

Du Le thought differently, he had secretly decided that this time the expedition would be dominated by spider machines, supplemented by the Han army, and solve the Tubo State as quickly as possible. The advice of the hundred officials was not entirely without merit, and a long war was bound to affect the stability of the Han state.

The resolutions and details of this court meeting were quickly conveyed to all parts of the Han Kingdom through the government at all levels. Of course, in the announcement, the Han court emphasized that it was the arrogance of the three princes of the Tubo State who took the initiative to declare war on the Han State, which triggered this war, and in order to protect the family and defend the country, the Han State officially responded to the Tubo State.

Suddenly, the people of the Han Kingdom all gritted their teeth at the Tubo State. The Tubo people in the Han Kingdom became the object of everyone's insults.

When the third prince of Tubo got the news, he was planning to blackmail the Han State, and he was completely blindfolded.

The original intention of the Tibetan delegation to visit the Han Kingdom was not to cause trouble. They wanted to stabilize the Han State before occupying the Gaochang State and prevent the Han State from sending troops to support the Gaochang State.

didn't think that at this moment, the third prince of Tubo, Haran, was shooting himself in the foot. (To be continued......)
