Out of the Chu Palace, Lu Dongzan glanced back at the tall Chu King's Mansion with complicated eyes.

"What a domineering person."

"If it's just overbearing, it's still so capable."

Thinking of the news he received before he came, the king of Chu, Li Wan, came back with three thousand Xia cavalry, and he had not yet suffered the emperor's jealousy, and he understood more and more in his heart why those older generations of royal families had to get Li Kuan back.

This is a strong Zongzheng.

Lu Dongzan even suspected that if Li Kuan was the prince, he would be the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"Fortunately, you are not a prince and have no right to inherit the throne."

Lu Dongzan breathed a sigh of relief.

After getting along with Li Kuan for a short time, he clearly felt the pressure on Li Kuan, which was too domineering.

To put it mildly, he didn't feel the domineering in Songtsen Gampo, only when he met Li Shimin.

This night, Li Kuan did not do any game activities, took a bath, read a book for a while and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Li Kuan took a carriage to the gathering place of the Xia people in Chang'an, and picked up Ashina Ling, who had changed into the county lord's clothes.

On the carriage, Li Kuan looked at Ashina Ling, who had painted makeup, and fully felt her seriousness.

The carriage drove all the way to the gate of Miyagi, and when Li Wan got off the car with Ashina Ling, a large number of officials had already gathered here.

Li Chengqian and several officials of Yuefu stood together and chatted, and Li Tai and Li Ke stood together and looked at Li Kuan coldly.

When several princes saw Li Kuan, they immediately surrounded him, and they were very lively for a while.

It was Li Kuan who Ma Zhou came to rescue.

"After seeing His Royal Highness the King of Chu's plan for the future of the Tang Dynasty, I am in awe, if the King of Chu has anything, you can come to me."

Ma Zhou greeted Li Kuan with a smile.

Li Ke and Li Tai came over and said a few cool words.

Lu Dongzan stood alone.

After greeting a group of people, Li Kuan stood next to Ashinaling, obviously with a protective attitude.

As soon as the hour came, the palace gate was opened, and the civil and military officials entered in order.

After a salute, Ashina Ling took the lead and said loudly: "Xia people heard that in the distant past, the rulers of my Chinese land, the three emperors and the five emperors, all had the title of human king, which means the king of the human race and the commander of all the tribes. ”

"For many years, my Xia people have been confessing their sins in the bitter cold land, and I am fortunate to be grateful for Your Majesty's kindness, forgive our sins, and allow us to return to the big family of Huaxia."

"Therefore, today we are willing to reinstate the title of King of the People for His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"On behalf of the 6.5 million Xia people on the grassland, Ashina Ling of the Hanhai tribe of the Xia people presented a bronze tripod to the king of the people, and a sheepskin oath to express their loyalty."

After speaking, Ashina Ling knelt down without the slightest hesitation.

"On the copper tripod, the parchment."

Jin Yan shouted very cooperatively.

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the throne, was very excited, although he had known about this scene for a long time, but when the copper tripod was carried up by the wrestlers and the parchment book was sent, he was still excited and couldn't help himself.

The names are engraved on the copper tripod, and the parchment is the signature of the various tribes of the steppe.

These two things represent the sincerity of the Xia people.

The eldest grandson Wuji shouted congratulatory words at the right time.

The civil and military ministers collectively congratulated.

"Give Ashina Ling to the princess position and seal the princess of Hanhai."

Li Shimin did not hesitate to reward Ashina Ling.

After the ministers stood up, Ashina Ling did not get up, but continued: "The minister heard that Tubo is a descendant of Baiqiang and was also a member of the sinners exiled in China, and the minister wants to talk to the Tubo people, hoping that they can also return to the Tang Dynasty and respect His Majesty as the king." ”

"For my China, reproduce the glory of the ancient kings commanding all the races."

"If Tubo has turned away from Huaxia, we are willing to charge into battle for Your Majesty and kill the rebels."

Ashina Ling was dressed in the armor of the ancient Xia people, and with her heroic face, her words at this time filled her with a different kind of charm.

Lu Dongzan in the crowd was hurt by Ashina Ling's words.

Ashina Ling's short words directly defined them as sinners in Tibet, sinners exiled by Huaxia.

In this way, his previous righteousness of asking Songtsen Gampo to marry the princess is gone.

You are a sinner, you don't want to atone for your sins, but you want to use your sinner body to threaten to marry a princess by force, what is the difference between you and rebellion?

Lu Dongzan felt that this was not something that Ashina Ling and the Xia people could think of, and they must have been instructed by others.

Therefore, Lu Dongzan looked at Li Kuan, his eyes were full of jealousy, he was really tricking people at every step, disgusting.

Li Shimin, who was on the throne, couldn't help but look at Li Kuan when he heard Ashina Ling's words, a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and he secretly said in his heart: "It's really a good method, this leaves a good excuse for attacking Tubo." ”

Li Shimin didn't speak, just sat there quietly.

Ashina Ling half-knelt on the ground.

A group of people, waiting for Lu Dongzan's mouth.

Lu Dongzan's brain was spinning wildly, how to break the game.

If they should be ordered, then they Tubo will have to change from Tubo to Qiang at this time, bow down to the Tang Dynasty, and respect Li Shimin as the king.

If not, then Li Shimin can say that Tubo, as a descendant of the Qiang people, betrayed the Tang Dynasty, and should be punished for the crime, and the matter of marrying the princess will be over.

It's ruthless.

Lu Dongzan really couldn't think of a good way for a while.

Just as the time passed minute by minute, Li Tai stood up with a big belly and said: "Your Majesty, Tubo is a person from the mountains, how can it be a Qiang people, the minister thinks that we should treat Ashina Ling for the crime of sowing discord." ”

"Her words have ruined the marriage we are about to start with Tibet, and ruined our future hundred years of goodness."

Li Tai's words successfully relieved Lu Dongzan of the siege.

Li Chengqian looked at his good brother who was shirtless, and a sneer hooked up at the corner of his mouth, just rush, brother, I watched.

Thinking about it, Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin, he happened to notice Li Shimin's anger that disappeared in a flash, and then looked at Li Kuan, he wanted to know what Li Kuan's solution was.

Li Kuan stepped out, picked up Ashina Ling, looked at Li Tai, and said with a deep and calm look: "Isn't it, just let people check the history books." ”

"My family that records the history of the Tang Dynasty is not dead yet."

"If it is found out that they are Qiang people, they are guilty, then they threaten the Tang Dynasty to marry the princess by force, and that is the crime of punishment."

Li Kuan's words were calm, but full of murderous aura.

Li Tai pointed at Li Kuan, gritted his teeth and said: "Li Kuan, don't be ignorant, a princess can be exchanged for a hundred years of peace, why do you have to provoke a war?" ”

"Also, if you want to investigate, you also have to investigate Tubo and Datang together."

"Only the match is the truth."

Li Kuan glanced at Lu Dongzan in the crowd, and said softly: "How can a country that doesn't even have its own writing and culture have history books handed down. ”

"Also, marrying a princess can solve the war, so it's better to let the Manchu generals collectively cut themselves."

"Women can solve the problem anyway, what do you want them to do."

Li Kuan paused and continued: "I just want one sentence, if Tubo dares to ask for a princess today, will they dare to ask for a queen tomorrow, and will they dare to act as a sinner in the Eastern Han Dynasty Dong Zhuo's Luoyang Palace." ”

"What are we going to do then, to cover up the things that a woman can solve are trivial?"

Li Kuan's words were hard to hear, but Li Kuan's words made the Manchu generals excited.

Lu Dongzan looked at the excited generals opposite, sighed, and the foot that he wanted to stretch out retreated.

You can't get out of the way, and it's easy to get beaten.

Qin Qiong, who was on the side of the generals, coughed and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister believes that the peace obtained in exchange for peace will not last. ”

"Take the nearby Princess Yicheng as an example, she married the grassland, but the grassland still got out of the siege of Yanmen Pass."

"So, instead of kissing, it's better to convince each other,"

Among the generals who are now staying in Chang'an, Qin Qiong is the highest status and Li Shimin's cronies.

As soon as he opened his mouth, many generals followed one after another, and said that what Yiguo Gong said was right.

Li Tai had no choice but to retreat.

Qin Qiong took Princess Yicheng as an example and was too invincible.

Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth, but still stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I, Tibetan, are different from the grassland people, we value faith and peace. ”

Li Kuan said slowly: "So why do you peace-loving people frequently attack Datang in the past two years, and you have been beheaded by the Datang border army again and again." ”

Lu Dongzan held his breath in his chest, unable to speak, in his eyes, Li Kuan was too lacking in morality.

Li Shimin sat on it and watched this scene quietly.

Seeing that Lu Dongzan was mad, he shook his head and glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, indicating that he might have revealed the matter.

The eldest grandson Wuji came out slowly and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." ”

Li Shimin: "Speak." ”
