The ministers looked at the two foreign envoys, and they were extremely embarrassed by the wit of the acting king, their faces turned red, and they couldn't help laughing. At the same time, everyone also deeply admired the wit of this generation of kings, who were only three or four years old, but reacted so quickly, and couldn't help but be full of love for the acting king.

Even the eldest grandson Wuji, who was secretive and expressionless, couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he saw Li Hong making such a fuss, and his love for the little guy in his heart also increased, and he wished that he could have such a smart and witty grandson.

Wu Mei shook her head helplessly, this little leather monkey is simply a lawless master, I'm afraid this bad idea will come up with him.

But before the people had fully enjoyed themselves, when the king teased the foreign envoy for pleasure, they heard the foreign envoy play tricks and the king firmly said, "I can." ”

"Hong'er can't mess around, sit back quickly." When Wu Mei heard Li Hong say that I can, her liver trembled, and she hurriedly said.

Now this little skin monkey is her sweetheart, Wu Mei is very fond of Li Hong, but she is reluctant to put the little guy's little arm into the hot oil pot.

The ministers were even more stunned, this generation of kings really dares to say anything, it is really childlike, if the little arm is put into the hot oil pot, it will not be eaten directly.

The old face of the Western Turkic envoy was even more ugly at the moment, and being ridiculed so by the ministers of the Tang Dynasty made him eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, and then look at the giggling face of the king of that generation, which made him feel as if he was a whole person, as if he had been stripped naked and stood in front of everyone, enduring the naked humiliation of the Tang people.

So he was heartbroken, and he didn't care that he would be angry with a child, which would make his old face even more embarrassing, and he snorted and said: "If the acting king dares to take something from the hot oil pot, then the minister will immediately return to the Western Turks to tell the Khan, persuade him to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and continue to respect His Majesty the Tang Emperor as the Heavenly Khan!" ”

Li Zhi, Wu Mei, Eldest Sun Wuji, and the ministers heard the Western Turkic envoy say so firmly, and at the same time, their expressions froze, and their hearts moved. This suggestion is simply so tempting!

If the Western Turks can continue to respect the Tang Emperor as the Heavenly Khan, it will not only restore the prestige and deterrence of the Tang Dynasty to the countries of the Western Regions when the first emperor was alive, but also the supreme glory of the current Tang Empire! Such fame and fortune are much more important to people in this era than any gold and silver treasures.

But when everyone thought of the fact that they had to take something out of the hot oil pot, their expressions suddenly darkened, because it was impossible at all, and no matter whose arm entered the hot oil pot, it was impossible to take it out intact, let alone take something out of the oil pot.

Suddenly, the entire Linhu Hall was silent, and even Yale involuntarily stopped because of the words of the Western Turkic envoy.

"Giggle...... Are you telling the truth? A gentleman's words are hard to chase. Li Hong's immature voice was extremely loud in the Linhu Hall at this moment.

"Hong'er! Don't mess around anymore, come here after going to the mother. Wu Mei nervously hurriedly threatened and intimidated, looked at Li Hong and said.

Even if you don't want the prestige of that heavenly khan, you can't let your child risk such a big disability.

"Yes, if you can do it on behalf of the king, the minister will immediately return to the Western Turks to persuade the Khan to surrender." The Western Turkic envoy said proudly despite Wu Mei's obstruction.

He didn't believe in such a dangerous or even deadly thing, and he couldn't deter a child of three or four years old, and as for the fact that the court was almost humiliated today, it didn't seem to be a big deal compared to the battle with the two armies.

Li Zhi suddenly said slowly: "This Western Turkic envoy, with such a bet with my three-year-old prince as an adult, is he not afraid of spreading it and making people laugh?" Where will you put your Western Turkic face in the future? It's shameless. You can go back and tell Shabala now that I won't withdraw my troops. Also, tell him everything that happened in the court today, and I will get it back. ”

"Your Majesty......." The Western Turk envoy panicked, just now he was patronizing how to get back the face of being humiliated by a three-year-old child, and forgot about the business he came to this time, and now he heard the Tang Emperor's domineering and cold counterattack, the Western Turkic envoy's heart sank, and it seemed that it was difficult to achieve peace.

Li Hong's bright eyes gurgled wildly, and while they were talking, he shouted Hua Meng and hurriedly explained a few times in his ear, only to see Hua Meng nodding blankly while listening, and then hurriedly ran to the back of the Linhu Palace.

"Father, mother, today is the great day of the canonization of the queen mother, and it is also the big day of my Tang Dynasty, why should you bother with him. This envoy didn't believe that Datang could produce many people, and he didn't believe that Erchen could get something from the hot oil pot, so Erchen would show him it. It's just that....... ”

"Just what?" The Western Turkic envoy hated Li Hong to the bone at the moment, and he couldn't wait to quickly set up the oil pot and throw this little thing into it to fry it.

"Just put down the words you just said, and then I'll make a bet with you, do you dare?" Li Hong continued to provoke.

While provoking the Western Turkic envoys, Wu Mei, who secretly rushed to the black lines in her head, clenched her silver teeth and exposed the green muscles on her hands, made an OK gesture.

Li Zhi also loves this prince very much, especially today's help to break the siege of the prince, which made him like Li Hong even more to the bones, otherwise he would not have said that domineering and mighty words to the Western Turkic envoy just now.

Now that he heard that Li Hong still hadn't stopped the matter, he was about to open his mouth to stop it, but he was gently pressed down by Wu Mei with his hand.

Wu Mei's ok gesture to this little thing, I still don't understand what it means, but in the harem, every time the little guy leaves his palace and tells him something, he will see the little guy making such a gesture with his back to himself.

Now seeing that the little guy has been unrelenting to this Western Turkic envoy, he can't help but be sure that this little thing is going to play some tricks, so he motioned to Li Zhi to wait and see what happens.

Seeing that His Majesty and the Queen were no longer in the way, the ministers of the Linhu Palace all frowned, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the acting king is so smart, cute and witty, you must not be ...... because of this." ”

"Wait a minute, if you don't believe me, you can bet with me, and if you don't believe me, stand ......." Before Li Hong finished speaking, he saw that the ministers in the court suddenly became quiet, and each lowered their heads, concentrating on studying the food on the table.

There was a faint voice coming from below: "Alas, this dish is good today, it is much better than the last banquet." ”

"No, and this wine, it's a lot more mellow than last time."

"yes, look at this dish ......."

Li Zhi couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, how could he not understand that the ministers reacted like this, this must be the ministers, and he remembered the bet with Li Hong in the Taiji Hall that day to make ice. With that lesson from the past, it seems that ministers today will not be fooled by small things.

Wu Mei looked at the reaction of the ministers, and she was also relieved, Li Zhi described the bet with the minister in the Taiji Hall that day, because of this matter, she let the little skin monkey kneel at the gate of the palace for a small hour, and the money from the bet with the ministers is still placed with her.

At this moment, Hua Meng came over with an oil pot from behind, and after removing a few cases in the middle of the Linhu Palace, he ordered someone to put the oil pot on a stove.

Li Hong got up from the crown prince Li Zhong, slowly walked to the oil pot, stood side by side with the Western Turk envoy, looked at the fire under the oil pot was burning, and said to the Western Turkic envoy: "It's too late to regret now." ”

"On behalf of the king, the minister will never repent." The Western Turkic envoy stood proudly, he believed that all this was a bluff, and when the oil in the oil pot boiled for a while, the king of this generation would definitely admit defeat.

It must be that this is just a child of three or four years old, and he must have been spoiled by the ministers in ordinary times, so he would be like this, otherwise the ministers would have become silent after he spoke just now, and they must have been afraid that this generation of kings would speak ill of them in front of his father.

The Western Turkic envoy was clever and speculated on the silent reaction of the ministers just now, and then strengthened his reasoning, raised the gambling contract written in his hand, and signaled that the acting king could begin.

Li Hong asked Hua Meng to pick up a spoon, scooped a spoonful of oil from the oil pot and poured it into the fire, only to see that the fire that was originally raging suddenly burst out after encountering the oil, making people's cheeks hot.

"See clearly, you know if it's oil." Li Hong asked.

"Look...... See clearly. "The Western Turkic envoy didn't expect that there was really oil in it, and the tongue of fire just now had already startled him.

"Did you bring copper coins? Lend me a few. Li Hong said to Xu Jingzong next to him easily.

Xu Jingzong hurriedly took out a few copper coins and held them in his hand, Li Hong picked five and pinched them in his small hand, and then handed them to the Western Turkic envoy: "Please throw the copper coins into the oil pot, don't let me fish them out and say that I am cheating." ”

When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help but start to worry and get nervous again, but they didn't expect that the little acting king was not bluffing, this was really asking for money from the oil pot.

I wasn't nervous just now because I didn't see the oil pot, but now seeing the oil in the pot grilled by the raging fire, the people in the whole palace suddenly became nervous. Wu Mei and Li Zhi also sat on the top and watched this scene nervously, Wu Mei's jade hands were oozing a lot of fine sweat because of nervousness, and their hearts were in their throats, and they grabbed Li Zhi's hand tightly, still trembling involuntarily.

The Western Turkic envoy threw five copper coins into the oil pot according to his words, only to see that the oil in the oil pot had begun to slowly bubble and tumble, obviously already hot, and it would become hot after a while.

Everyone looked nervous and solemn, their eyes widened, and they watched motionlessly as the oil in the oil pot boiled, and the rising green smoke rose straight up from the oil pot.
