Chapter 213: What is arrogance
It turned out that the iron cage was filled with a lion, which was not seen in Datang. If you want to say that you can only see the stone lion in front of the door.
However, for Li Chengqian, he is not a strange beast. I saw Li Chengqian walking towards the iron cage.
And the lion in the iron cage saw Li Chengqian walking towards him, and couldn't help but roar at Li Chengqian. As if warning Li Chengqian to stay away from it.
The iron cage is not very large, which limits the space for the lion to move. So all it can do is keep roaring.
What the Manchu Dynasty didn't expect was that Li Chengqian actually reached out and touched the beast in the iron cage. This frightened the Manchu civil and military.
Even Li Shimin couldn't help but stand up from the dragon chair and wanted to stop Li Chengqian's reckless behavior.
Before Li Shimin could speak, Li Chengqian's hand had already pressed on the lion's head. The lion, who had been roaring incessantly, was suddenly much more honest.
But this was only for a moment, and then he began to roar at Li Chengqian again. He also raised his front paws, wanting to attack Li Chengqian outside the iron cage.
Li Chengqian took two steps back, and then said nonchalantly to the envoy of the Tubo State: "This is the tribute that your Tubo State paid to your father, doesn't it seem a little too petty?" ”
"Who are you that you dare to speak out in front of this envoy?" The envoy of the Tubo State said to Li Chengqian with a displeased face.
"Hugh is unreasonable, this is my prince of the Tang Dynasty, the prince of the dynasty." The eldest grandson Wuji said sharply to the envoys of the Tubo State.
Hearing this, the young man who walked in turned out to be the prince of the Tang Dynasty. This inevitably made the envoys of the Tibetan State less arrogant.
But Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said: "Father, the Tubo Kingdom has paid tribute to such a thing, I think he really didn't take our Tang Dynasty in his eyes." ”
Seeing Li Chengqian's confident appearance, Li Shimin's hanging heart finally let go. So he opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian: "There is also a letter of state written by Zanpu of the Tubo Kingdom to me. ”
Li Chengqian came to Li Shimin's front and stretched out his hand to take the credentials of the Tubo Kingdom. After looking at it, he said disdainfully: "This is the national letter of the Tubo State that no one in the Tang Dynasty recognized just now?" ”
The envoy of the Tubo State nodded and said: "Yes, it is the national letter written in the script of the Tubo State, I wonder if the prince of the Tang Dynasty can recognize it?" ”
"Such a simple and rough text, I dare to ask if the palace recognizes it. My five-year-old child in the Tang Kingdom can teach you to know what is written on it. Li Chengqian said with a disdainful expression.
"Since the prince of the Tang Dynasty said so. Then trouble the prince of the Tang Dynasty to find a five-year-old child and teach the envoys what is written in the national book. The envoy of the Tibetan State still said arrogantly.
"Then today, this palace will let you have a long insight, and let you know that the small country has no sense of existence in front of the Tang Heavenly Empire." After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he ordered Wang De to go to the East Palace to find Di Renjie.
After Wang De nodded, he turned around and left the Taiji Hall and headed towards Li Shimin's East Palace.
Li Chengqian looked at the lion in the cage, and said to Li Shimin: "Father, do you recognize what the animal in this iron cage is?" ”
Seeing Li Chengqian's secret glance at him, Li Shimin said vaguely: "I look at this animal as if I am familiar, but I can't remember what this animal is. ”
"My father is right, it is recorded in ancient books that dragons give birth to nine sons and do not become dragons. The son looked at the caged animals a little like a fox. ”
"It's just different from the record, Erchen thinks it should be a crossbred with the livestock of his Tubo country." Li Chengqian pointed and said to Li Shimin.
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, the envoys of the Tibetan State couldn't help but be furious. Because Li Chengqian insinuated in his words that the Tubo country is an animal.
On the side, Cheng Yanjin laughed and said: "Obviously it is a divine beast, but it has been tainted by the blood of this animal, my old Cheng is really not worth it for the Dragon King." ”
"What do you understand, this is equivalent to a truth of visiting the Qinglou on a regular basis. It's understandable that I didn't pay attention to letting the Fengchen woman get pregnant for a while. Wei Chigong on the side spoke.
"Da Lao Hei is right, but the taste of this dragon lord's son is a little too low. If you want to find a decent animal, you have to find a decent animal, and you can find such a low-level animal. Cheng bit Jin and said with a big mouth.
This time, Cheng Jin and Wei Chi Gong said a word to me, and the time when they belittled the Tubo country was worthless. The angry envoys of the Tibetan State gritted their mouths full of silver teeth.
At this time, Wang De also took Di Renjie to the Taiji Palace, and Di Renjie respectfully saluted Li Shimin. Then he said: "I don't know what the emperor asked Di Renjie to explain." ”
Before Li Shimin could speak, Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said to Di Renjie: "This is the letter of state from Zanpu Songtsen Gampo of the Tubo State to his father, but it is a pity that the deceased minister who sent the letter of state does not recognize the words of his country. ”
"It just so happens that you have nothing to do when you are idle, teach the envoys of this Tubo country in front of everyone, and recognize what is written on this national book."
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he directly threw the letter of the Tubo State in front of Di Renjie. But Di Renjie didn't bend down to pick it up.
Instead, he opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian: "It turned out to be such a simple matter. Then ask the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to wait for a while, and Di Renjie will teach him to read and write. ”
After Di Renjie finished speaking, he spread out the national book of the Tubo State with his feet. Then he opened his mouth and said to the envoys of the Tibetan State: "Do you want me to teach you word by word, or will you read the whole article to you?" ”
At this time, the envoys of the Tibetan State had already begun to tremble. He never imagined that he would be humiliated today.
It's a pity that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, so they can only say angrily: "Just read the whole article and listen to it." ”
At this time, Cheng Yanjin was definitely holding back a smile, and whispered to Wei Chigong beside him: "What kind of master teaches what apprentice, this kid's arrogance is not worse than his master." ”
"I would say that it is more than enough. I haven't seen it yet, who reads other people's national letters with their feet. Yu Chigong also whispered to Cheng Yanjin.
At this time, Di Renjie was ready, and he only heard Di Renjie read: "Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, now I have a strong army in Tubo, a strong horse, a rich country and a strong people. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the national strength is also among the best. ”
"Even in some respects, it has far surpassed Datang. Now the Western Turks have sent envoys to ally with our Tibetan State and prepare to declare war on the Tang Dynasty. ”
"My Tubo State has not promised the Western Turks at present, and I hope that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can judge the situation and avoid this war."
"Today, the special envoy will take the lion as a dowry, hoping that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty can choose a princess and marry her to my Tubo Zanpu as a concubine."
