Chapter 7: The Submission of the Turkic Emissary
Not to mention the Turkic envoys, even the ministers of the DPRK and China listened stupidly one by one,, what is the situation of Your Majesty, why did you become so irritable all of a sudden, such harsh conditions, the Turkic barbarians must not be angry to death, how can they agree?
Sure enough, the hair of several Turkic envoys was about to stand on end.
Why do we want food and princesses, but if we don't give it to the princess, the food is only given to thirty percent, and we are specially asked to send sheep and horses, one of the sheep and horses is used for food, and the other is used to fight, which is the most important thing for the grassland people, and I will change it for you, when we are stupid?
Seeing that the Turkic envoy's angry words were not good, Li Er's heart was called cool.
However, he also knew that it was enough to stop, but not to mess up their plan, so he reassured: "Don't refuse first, although I only give you thirty percent of the food, but there are really good things in it, so that after you go back, Jieli will not only not scold you, but will reward you." ”
"Fart, where in the world is there such a good thing? What can compare to thousands of stone of grain? ”
The Turkic envoys scoffed, the steppe people have been fighting against nature since they were born, the most difficult thing is that people and cattle and sheep are fed, food is heaven for them, of course they don't believe Li Er's words.
The eldest grandson Wuji came out and scolded: "I didn't even look at it, so I hurriedly refused?" If you have the ability, go back to the grassland now and see if Jieli can spare you! ”
A few messengers were angry in their hearts, nonsense, now they don't have to go back before the farts arrive, it's strange not to be chopped by the Great Khan and fed to the wolves, they have to pinch their noses and wait for what tricks these Tang people will play.
In the curious eyes of the civil and military officials, a mouthful of Dading was resisted by several strong soldiers, and the boiling water in the Ding was boiling, exuding a strong mutton fragrance, and ...... It seems that the smell of fishy is not so strong, but has an extra enticing aroma.
Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva and stared at Dading, not knowing what His Majesty was going to do.
The Turks are addicted to mutton, and they are even more unbearable than the Han people, and at this time, they are swallowing saliva one by one, and they can't take their eyes off the big ding, and they can't wait to rush up and eat now.
Soon the soldiers began to scoop the broth with large spoons, and all the civil and military officials and Turkic envoys had a bowl in their hands.
The dignified Tai Chi Hall, such a serious place is full of the smell of meat, and it has become a place for everyone to eat meat and drink soup, and a group of civil officials will immediately jump out to admonish at this time.
However, the strange thing is that after everyone got the broth, their mouths seemed to be blocked, silently eating their own food, and from time to time sticking out their tongues and praising the deliciousness of this broth.
Even Wei Zheng leaned on the pillar and ate his share, not that he didn't want to jump out and scold Li Er, mainly after tasting the taste of this broth, he knew that if he dared to jump out now, it was not Li Er who would be offended, I was afraid that a room full of civil and military officials would hate him to death.
Yes, let you Li Er indulge it once, anyway, this broth is fragrant enough, tsk, I really don't know what is in it!
The Turks are like hungry wild dogs, swept the wind and clouds, and they did several bowls of one person in one breath, drank soup and ate meat, and their cool souls flew, where do they remember the business.
Looking at the funny scene below, Li Er almost cramped with laughter in his heart, and he asked, "Turkic envoy, how is it, is there any difference between this broth and the taste on your grassland?" ”
A group of people who were full of food and drink reminisced about this terrible taste, and the Turks wanted to belittle it fiercely, but they really couldn't say it, after all, their vicious dog-like appearance just now was still vivid, and it was really impossible to talk nonsense with their eyes open.
"In general, it's a little better than the taste on our grassland." The leader of the messenger snorted and wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
Li Er didn't bother to pay attention to this guy's duplicity, smiled, raised his hand, and held a red dried chili pepper between his fingers: "Ladies and gentlemen, you must have noticed that you can see this thing in this broth from time to time, do you know what this is?" ”
Everyone was shocked, and finally knew the origin of the terrible smell, and they talked about it one by one, but no matter how knowledgeable people were, they couldn't recognize it.
"This thing is called chili peppers, and after drying, it is called dried chili peppers, and it is simply a first-class enjoyment to be used for seasoning, I plan to distribute this thing to you Aiqing today, and Jieli Khan, I will also give some away, I don't know what your intentions are?"
People live on food!
The ministers don't care so much, especially the fierce generals like Cheng Biting Jin, they can't close their mouths with joy, take this thing back to eat, drink and enjoy, what a blessing the belly should enjoy! All the officials knelt down in unison, shouting thank you for the reward, that jubilant appearance could not be faked, and Li Er, who saw it, was extremely happy.
The Turkic envoys were also overjoyed, and then the leader hurriedly asked, "How much does the Tang Emperor plan to give us?" ”
Li Er explained hehe: "You have also seen that this dried chili pepper is a condiment, not a staple food, so I plan to give you two, no, fifteen packets, such a big bag." ”
"You have also seen it, this dried pepper is also rare in my Datang, not very much, there are many cattle and sheep on your grassland, and when the time comes, you will cook it yourself, and you still need the grain of our Datang?"
Li Er automatically ignored the potatoes that he had negotiated before, and he didn't plan to give them to the Turks at all, nonsense, he didn't have enough to eat this thing himself, so why give it to those barbarians.
The Turkic envoys discussed one after another, and felt that what Li Er said was right, this thing obviously had not even seen these officials of the Tang Dynasty, it was definitely a first-class good thing, giving them so much in one go, the Great Khan would definitely be conquered by the delicacy when he went back to try it, and they would be rewarded if they didn't do it.
As for the food and the princess, they can't help it, what can they do if they don't give it, as soon as they thought of this, the envoys suddenly smiled, respectfully gave Li Er the etiquette on the grassland, and agreed.
For a while, the guests and hosts in the court were happy, the atmosphere was harmonious, and the Turkic envoys who were in a happy mood even said some things on the grassland, and they looked harmonious, the ministers were very satisfied, and Li Er's self-esteem was satisfied, and his smile did not stop.
Soon, the Turkic envoys rushed all the way to the steppe, and on the grassland tent, Jieli heard about the results of this diplomacy, although he had not seen the dried pepper, but he was not too angry.
After all, this grain is obtained for free, as for sheep and horses, jokes, if you have the ability to get it yourself, as for what no longer harasses the border pass, it is even more ridiculous, if you don't rob your Datang, what will my Turkic son eat and drink?
Soon the mission returned, and after unloading the food, the high-ranking members of the tribes watched as the gorilla's contents were sprinkled into the cauldron and cooked along with the lamb leg and lamb chops.
