Chapter 602: Tubo's reply

After Li Shen washed up, he followed Wang De to the palace, and also told Lu Dingniang to pack up his things and prepare to move back to the palace.

When Li Shen walked into the Taiji Palace, he was like a generous righteous man, a fearless spirit.

"I see Aya, I haven't seen him for many days, Aya's demeanor is still the same, and I ...... watch"

"Shut up. Stand in the back and wait. ”

Before Li Shen's sycophant was finished, Li Shimin's majestic voice rang out.

"Yes."

When Li Shen heard Li Shimin's tone, he knew that he couldn't be good today.

Obediently walked to the door and waited.

The courtiers began to discuss decisions and report on the reports presented by various places, while Li Shen leaned on the edge of the door and watched boredly.

Li Shimin would occasionally float over and glance at him, which frightened Li Shen's heart.

"Spread the Tibetan envoys to meet ~~~" Wang Degao shouted,

The Tibetan envoy who was waiting outside walked in, and Sangyang Donne glanced at Li Shen as he passed by Li Shen's side.

"Foreign ministers, see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Sangyang Donne took the envoy to salute Li Shimin.

"Excuse me. I don't know how your Zamp replied. Li Shimin asked majestically.

"Your Majesty the Emperor Qi, we, Zampu, have agreed to withdraw from the land of Tuyuhun.

But Qinghai is my Tubo country, not Tuyuhun, and Chiling is an important pass into my Tubo.

We won't let it out, but we can use this place as a place for the tea and horse market. Sangyang Dunne replied respectfully.

"Your Majesty, since Tubo is willing to withdraw from Tuyuhun has already shown its sincerity, the minister thinks that he should agree to the mutual market." The servant Shi Cui Renzhi stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks so, Tubo's sincerity is very sufficient, my Tang Dynasty is a big country in the Celestial Empire, and I should not embarrass the surrounding small countries.

Since they are willing to return the land of Tuyuhun, the minister should agree. Zheng Jingsi agreed.

"The minister also thinks that he should agree, so that he can promote the friendship between my Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and the border passes will suffer less from war."

"The minister also agreed to open up the mutual market."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

For a while, whether it was the five surnames and seven wangs, or the eight families, they all stood up and expressed their agreement with this matter.

Li Shimin looked at the people below and couldn't help but sneer at the corners of his mouth.

Li Shimin knew what the purpose of this group of people was.

The family has always had a relationship with Tibet, and they not only sell normal goods such as tea, wine, silk, porcelain, etc.,

They also sell contraband, iron, and weapons.

They smuggle countless goods every year.

In recent years, because of the suppression of the Li Shen Chamber of Commerce, their transactions have decreased.

"Auxiliary, what do you think?"

The first thing Li Shimin asked was the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Your Majesty, it's okay to open a mutual market, but.... The minister felt that it was better to ask His Royal Highness King Ji about this matter. ”

This old fox actually wants to say that it did not achieve the expected effect, and the benefits are somewhat less,

But as a prime minister, how can you say such a market?

"Fang Gong, what do you think?" Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling again.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since it was King Ji's idea before, it is better to listen to King Ji's opinion." Fang Xuanling also threw the pot to Li Shen.

It's better to do this kind of work with a professional.

"King Ji, come forward." Li Shimin shouted.

"Yes, Aya." Li Shen stepped forward.

"What do you think of what the Tibetan envoy said just now?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Qi Qi Aya, I feel that they have no sincerity at all, since there is no sincerity, then it doesn't matter if this mutual market is open or not,

In addition, it is necessary to send more people to patrol the borders, so that unscrupulous businessmen do not risk their lives in order to make profits. Li Shen's face was straight and he replied seriously.

"His Royal Highness King Ji, how insincere is my Tubo, our Zampu has agreed to withdraw from Tuyuhun." Sanyang Donne argued.

"That's just the first step, this Tuyuhun was originally beaten down by my Datang.

It is only natural for you to withdraw, and we did not send troops to expel you.

It has already been shown that my Tang Dynasty is a state of benevolence and righteousness.

This Tuyuhun was not brought down by you, so you don't think that giving us back our things is sincere. ”

Li Shen had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and did not give Sangyang Dunni any chance.

Many ministers also nodded when they heard this, especially Hou Junji.

Now Hou Junji Qifu is the squire of the military department, but Tuyuhun was beaten down by him.

"His Royal Highness King Ji, this time we in Tubo are here with sincerity, and we hope that Tubo and Datang can always live in peace.

We have made great efforts to free the people on the border from the suffering of war.

Why doesn't His Royal Highness King Ji think about the people at the border? Sangyang Dunne said with a frown.

This King Ji came to stir up the situation again, and some time ago he heard that Li Shen committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake,

At that time, he was very happy. Later, he said that King Ji was fine, and he was disappointed.

"The pain of war? Are you sure you want to go to war with my Datang? Sangyang Donne, it's not that this king looks down on you,

You're an ambassador, but you don't have the power to decide anything. Li Shen said disdainfully.

"You..... Your Majesty the Emperor, did your country deliberately let King Ji humiliate me in Tibet?

For such an important matter, His Majesty the Emperor is ready to let King Ji call the shots? ”

Sangyang Dunne couldn't say anything about Li Shen, turned his head and saluted Li Shimin and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, opening up the mutual market is a national policy, King Ji has no real power, and he is not in the court, and the minister thinks that King Ji is still a little young." Cui Renzhi stood up and said.

This mutual market is very important for their family.

And the Tibetans also gave them enough benefits.

"What the vice minister said, the final decision is, of course, my Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty,

However, King Ji has always been brilliant and has unique insights into many things.

Your Majesty just wants to listen to King Ji's opinion and test King Ji. Fang Xuanling stood up and explained.

"The foreign minister asks Your Majesty for advice, does Your Majesty agree to the mutual market this time?" Sangyang Donne asked directly.

They said that the mutual market is dispensable for Datang, but most of them will be open.

There is no loss if you don't open it, but you can make money if you open it.

"Sangyang Donne, you can directly say the final bottom line that your Zampu gave you.

If you want to open a mutual market so easily, it is impossible, even if the court agrees, this king will try to make him yellow.

Don't forget, you have seen a sand bandit in Tibet. ”

Li Shen's face was calm, but his tone was full of banter.

"This is already the bottom line of my Zampu. We Zampu are with great sincerity this time and want to make friends with Datang.

Otherwise, some tribes will not listen to the warnings and will harass the borders of the Tang Dynasty.

There's no reason for me Zampu to stop it, do I? ”

Sangyang Dunne did not flinch at all, it is obvious that if you don't open the mutual market, I will harass your borders.
