Not to mention what happened to the envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty to Goguryeo for accountability (blackmail), just when everyone was paying attention to the Goguryeo incident in Honglu Temple, the Western Turkic Khan, who had not seen the head and the tail, finally appeared in Chang'an again after three months.

The Tang Emperor knew that the time was ripe, so he summoned the envoys of various countries at the same time during the next day's court meeting. Nominally, they are concerned about their living conditions in Datang, but in fact, they have arranged a good show in the Taiji Palace.

Now that all the people of Goguryeo have been imprisoned, the people of Baekje are trembling and dare not speak, and the Western Turks only have the deputy envoy to the palace, and the right to speak is not enough, so the only people who dare to stand up and negotiate in the Taiji Hall are the Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan, and the prince of Gaochang Ju Zhisheng.

Since Xiao Rui appeared in Chang'an, Lu Dongzan has become more low-key, and even he has the mind to withdraw to Tibet. But he was very unwilling, he also wanted to take a closer look at the outcome of this peace incident, as well as the final result of Goguryeo. He didn't believe that a character like Yuangai Suwen was killed in prison in such a daze, he believed that Goguryeo would not start a war with the Tang Dynasty, and Yuangai Suwen would definitely be able to get out of trouble.

Removing Lu Dongzan, a treacherous man, among so many envoys, only Prince Gaochang looked as usual in the Taiji Palace, no, it should be said that it was like being in his home field, beaming and high-spirited.

Faced with the concern of the Tang Emperor, Ju Zhisheng gratefully stood up and answered the scene, completely forgetting that he was cuckolded by the Tang Princess, and he never doubted what if the princess couldn't be caught? Because he believes that Datang promised the princess to him in front of the envoys of various countries, it is impossible to let the princess elope, and in the end, there must be a princess of the Tang Dynasty who will go back with him, maybe the princess who eloped will not work, and will be replaced by another princess.

"So that His Majesty the Emperor knows that Xiao Wang has sent a letter to his father earlier to supervise the dowry, and if there is no accident, the dowry may be able to arrive in the next few days. Gaochang is located in a remote area, the country is poor and the people are weak, so the dowry is shabby, please forgive your Majesty. ”

"But Xiao Wang has a lot of love for the princess, and if he marries the princess back, he will definitely love and care for him, and he will never fail His Majesty's love."

……

Just as he was gushing about his sincerity, a rough laugh came from outside the Taiji Palace: "Hahahaha, I'm afraid you don't have to be so troublesome, the princess can't marry you at all." ”

Well? Who?

Ju Zhisheng looked back at the door angrily, and the civil and military forces looked at each other in confusion, only to see a rugged middle-aged man with a tiger's back striding in, carrying a square box in his hand.

"The Western Turkic Khan Mo Helu has met His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"Oh...... It's Mo Helu Khan, no need to be polite. A few months ago, the Great Khan said that there was something at home, and he went back to the grassland to deal with family affairs, and he will see you today, it seems that the matter has been dealt with? Li Er said with a smile.

Many people in the court were confused, when did the Western Turk Mohelu personally lead the envoy back to the grassland? Then why don't you just go back with all the envoys? Just left them, and Mo Helu himself finally returned to Chang'an?

The envoys also wondered, when did the Western Turkic Khan leave? How is it silent? We always thought that this khan was not easy to mess with, so he was blessed in the pavilion......

No wonder it was right to invite the Western Turks to meet and discuss, and all the envoys who came were deputy envoys, and they thought that the khan looked down on our group of courtiers, and the feeling was that they were not in Chang'an at all, and they had returned to the grassland.

Lu Dongzan raised his eyebrows, his heart jumped, what the hell is this Mo Hedu? One go and one return, three months...... Presumably it was a quick horse whip without delay, what kind of moth is it all about?

Ju Zhisheng, the prince of Gaochang, angrily pointed at Mo He and shouted: "It's too much to deceive people! I, Gaochang, have the honor to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, what does it matter to you in the Western Turks? Don't deceive too much! ”

Mo He glanced at it aggressively and sneered disdainfully: "Bullying you? Hehe, how about lying to you? ”

"Saying that you can't marry a princess is not because you curse you, but because you're telling you a truth. Let's see what this is, Gao Chang? Bah! From today on, Gaochang is history. ”

After speaking, he threw out the square wooden box in his hand.

Yes?

History? What history? What exactly did Mo Helu do?

When everyone saw the human head rolling out of the wooden box, countless exclamations sounded, and all the civil and military officers retreated one after another, giving way to a circle.

In the last second, Ju Zhisheng was still triumphant, feeling that he had the support of the Tang Dynasty, this is the Taiji Palace, and there is no need to be afraid of the Western Turks.

But in the next second, seeing the head, Ju Zhisheng was dumbfounded, "That's?" Be...... Father? ”

Jumping up and directly picking up the head to check, Ju Zhisheng's eyes instantly turned bloody, "Ah! Mo Helu, you are looking for death, dare to hurt my father, I want your life! ”

A mad demon came up desperately, and was stopped by the guards who rushed in from outside the hall.

Someone shouted: "Hurry up, go out, send to the hospital, this prince is afraid that he will lose his mind and go crazy." ”

Seeing off the prince of Gaochang, Mo Helu strode into the middle of the Taiji Palace, saluted the emperor and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I have long heard that the Tang Dynasty went to the Silk Road in the Western Regions, and the Gaochang Guoxiao often attacked the Tang caravans, stirring up the silk of the Western Regions. ”

"The Western Turks are the closest neighbors of the Tang Dynasty, so Ben Khan went back this time and led 100,000 sons to take the entire territory of Gaochang in twenty days to help the Tang Dynasty and the countries of the Western Regions get rid of this evil. From now on, there is no Gaochang in the world, this is the head of Ju Wentai, the lord of Gaochang, and it is a small gift from Ben Khan to His Majesty. ”

Li Er smiled, as if he had expected it.

But the others in the court didn't know, and some Wenchen rushed out and asked, "Bold!" Your Western Turks destroyed the neighboring country Gaochang for no reason, under the pretense of the name of the Tang Dynasty, the teacher of the Daoless, and gave the head to my emperor, aren't you demonstrating to my Datang? Who gives you the guts! ”

"Yes, the barbarian bullied me that there was no one in the Tang Dynasty, and after destroying Gaochang, I want to come to the Tang Dynasty to show off my might?"

……

Li Er waved his hand and pressed the ministers: "Everyone, don't be impatient, I believe that Mo Helu Khan is a friend and not an enemy." It's just that Mo Helu Khan, my Datang just promised to marry the princess to Prince Gaochang, and Gaochang and I almost became in-laws. ”

The words seemed to be questioning, there was a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, everyone looked at Mo Helu, waiting to see how he explained, once the explanation was not right, Datang was afraid that he would not follow.

Mo Helu had already thought of his words under Xiao Rui's guidance, "So that His Majesty the Emperor knows, who is the princess of the Tang Dynasty?" Is it also something that any rooster and dog thief can get involved with? I thought that a small country like Gaochang was not worthy of the noble princess of the Tang Dynasty! ”

Lu Dongzan snorted coldly: "Gao Chang is not worthy, does that mean that the princess should give it to you?" The Great Khan of the Western Turks? You are really domineering, who dares to rob the princess with you, and you will directly lead people to destroy the country? ”

Mo Helu's face was very ugly, and he also said coldly: "Tubo Minister? Hehe, you're right, Ben Khan really thinks so. Whoever dares to compete with me for the princess is a provocation, and that is looking for death! ”

"It's a pity, your Tubo doesn't border with my Western Turks, otherwise, Ben Khan wouldn't mind having an extra head of Songtsen Gampo here."

You...... Lu Dongzan was about to speak again, but was stopped by Li Er waving his hand, "Two, this is the Taiji Palace, and you can go back and deal with personal grievances." Let's get down to business. ”

Mo Helu was very knowledgeable, and reached into his arms to take out a gift list, "Mo Helu is a rough person, impulsive, and his behavior is more intense. Only afterwards did I remember that it had indeed refuted His Majesty's face, this was the spoils of war obtained from the destruction of Gaochang, and it had all been transported to Chang'an to make amends to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

What???

What's going on? The Western Turks destroyed Gaochang, and the spoils of war returned to the Tang Dynasty? We heard you right, right?

Isn't it...... The Tang Dynasty hired the Western Turks and deliberately destroyed Gaochang, just to stir up Huang and his relatives?
