47 Threat
Cure smallpox?What a big tone!

Li Ze flicked through the memories in his mind. There was no record of smallpox in Tibet in this era, so how could there be a cure for smallpox.

Moreover, the medicine and industry of the nomads are extremely backward, how can the medical level be able to solve smallpox.

Even in later generations, no one has developed a specific medicine to cure smallpox. These two cubs are really bragging and not drafting.

Li Er glanced at Li Ze, then turned his gaze back to the two envoys and asked: "Since your country has a method to cure smallpox, I will not give it to Datang in vain. I don't know what your country's needs are. I will try my best to meet them." ."

After Li Er finished speaking, Manchu immediately fell silent, while Zaldongzan and Sangbuza in the main hall glanced at each other.

Sangbuza gave Zaledongzan an admiring look.

He himself didn't expect it to be so smooth. It seems that the smallpox epidemic in Datang was much more serious than they imagined!

Immediately Zaledong Zan cupped his hands towards Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, the people of our clan often live as nomads and have no fixed place to live. The cultivated land in the clan is scarce, making it difficult to make a living, and they are relatively deficient in all aspects of technology. I hope that His Majesty will bestow upon our clan a piece of land that is sufficient for farming."

"Presumptuous! You little nomad, you actually covet my Tang territory!" Li Jing stood up immediately, his face flushed, and the veins on his forehead were bulging with anger.

Changsun Wuji also pointed at the two envoys sharply, and stared at Zaledong with beard and stare, and praised: "You actually want me, Datang, to cede land to you? It's nonsense!"

Li Er saw that these two were a little fiery, so he waved his hand down to signal them not to get excited.

"Isn't the price too high for a single prescription in exchange for a piece of land?" Li Er said slowly, the corners of his eyes twitching slightly.

After all, it is an envoy from a foreign country, and these are just discussions on paper.

Agree or disagree, the decision is still in your own hands.

Zal Dongzan sneered lightly: "Of course not. Your Majesty's gift of a piece of land to our clan is an honor for our clan, and it is also the key to getting rid of nomadism. Our clan can be said to provide good horses for the Tang Dynasty. And help Datang train a group of brave cavalry!"

That's it? That's it?
Li Er didn't care at all.

The army has plenty in the Tang Dynasty, and I, Ze'er, have the cure for smallpox.

Why use a piece of land in exchange?
"Tch——but the small army wants a piece of territory from my Great Tang. Is it possible that my million-strong army in the Great Tang is short of your horses?" Cheng Yaojin glanced at the envoys disdainfully, imitating their appearance. He looked at the messenger with his nostrils upturned.

Li Er waved his hand and smiled lightly: "As Cheng Gong said, I don't need these things from your country for the time being, and the smallpox in Datang has subsided. If you can come earlier, Maybe I will be willing to exchange with your country."

Saying this is just polite words.

To put it bluntly, if something doesn't work, I won't change it.

After hearing this, Zal Dongzan cracked his mouth lightly, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "If you don't eat a toast, you'll be punished!"

Sang Buza took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, we are going all the way from Tubo to Datang. On the way, we saw countless people who died of starvation and disease. If Datang really had a cure, it must have been curbed a long time ago." The spread of smallpox has been stopped, and His Majesty said that there are millions of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, but there are also millions of cavalry in the Turks and other states north of the Tang Dynasty."

"Nowadays, there are countless casualties caused by smallpox in the Tang Dynasty, and the army must also have suffered a lot. If other tribes learn about this, the cavalry of all tribes will definitely point at the Tang Dynasty. If your Majesty is willing to give our tribe a piece of Farming the land, I, the Prince of Tubo, am willing to marry the princess of your country. From now on, I, Tubo, promise to stay with the Tang Dynasty at all times and help the Tang Dynasty repel those foreign armies!"

After all, Sangbuza raised his head triumphantly, and glanced at Zaledongzan triumphantly.

Threat!

The threat of red fruit!

The whole court began to be noisy again.

Li Ze silently clenched his fists in his sleeves.

The big fart tribe actually wanted to use a prescription to coerce Li Er into marrying the princess, what joke are you kidding?
I really don’t know how much I weigh?
Seeing his face of taking advantage of the fire, a wave of anger burned in his heart.

"Presumptuous! The Barbarians of Tubo and Fanbang dare to threaten me, Datang!" Cheng Yaojin's head suddenly smoked, and he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to go up and do it.

The others hurriedly shouted to calm down, and stopped the furious Cheng Yaojin.

The two envoys were not afraid, they just looked at Li Er in the hall with their nostrils upturned.

Wei Zheng took a sudden step, his face flushed with anger, and he snorted coldly: "The mere barbarians from other races also want to marry me, Princess Datang? The toad wants to eat swan meat!"

Du Ruhui also stood up in a hurry, and said with a solemn expression: "You two, isn't this request from your country a bit too much? I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to divide the land and marry the princess. ?”

Du Ruhui and the others stared at the two guys with upturned nostrils and clenched their fists tightly.

Na Sangbuza was even more arrogant, and said with a smile: "Many? If iron cavalry from other nations enter the Tang Dynasty, it will not be a piece of arable land, a princess is as simple as that. No matter how much land there is, it will only be divided by other countries, and no amount of princesses will be abused by other countries, so why not use a piece of farmland and one princess in exchange for the eternal stability and peace of the Tang Dynasty?"

The two envoys just looked at Li Er with faint smiles on their faces, waiting for him to make a decision.

Wei Zheng didn't say anything, not because he was afraid, but because it was not his turn to make decisions about this matter.

At most, he would help Li Er bargain the price, and it was Li Er who really decided whether to buy it or not.

And Li Er's face was ashen until now, and he didn't say a word.

Because what this guy said is not bad, once this matter gets out, other nations will definitely attack Datang.

In recent years, Datang has experienced frequent natural disasters and man-made disasters. Coupled with the smallpox this time, the national power is indeed a little weakened. Although a Tubo is not to be feared, there are not only Tubo, but all foreign races are eyeing Datang.

Sue?Or refuse?
His head, which was already aching from the hangover, was now aching even more intensely.

After the ministers discussed it, Xu Jingzong, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, stood up first and bowed his hands towards Li Er: "Your Majesty, I think that although the medical doctor Li has superb medical skills, most of the smallpox patients have not yet recovered. The envoy possesses healing methods, so maybe he can give it a try, but it is better to follow his wishes and form an alliance with Tubo forever, to jointly resist the invasion of foreign countries, and build a stable and prosperous world together."

Before the voice of this person completely dissipated, Pei Ji stood up immediately: "Your Majesty, I agree with Xu Shilang's statement. A little intolerance can lead to chaos and big schemes. Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty has been suffering from natural disasters for many years, the people are living in poverty, and the national strength has also declined. If you are willing to help, I, Datang, should naturally think about the common people."

These guys didn't say a word about marrying the princess.

After all, it's not their turn to make decisions about this matter, and it shouldn't be openly discussed in the court.

Immediately afterwards, the officials standing around the two began to join in:
"That's right, Your Majesty, if you can't bear it, you will make great plans. Once other foreign countries invade, the gains will outweigh the losses!"

"If we form an alliance with Tubo, we will also be able to introduce Tubo's horse army at that time, and it will also improve the ability of our Great Tang cavalry."

……

The more Li Ze listened, the angrier he became.

But he still held back a surge of anger and did not have an attack for the time being.

What if Li Er chooses to calm down?
Li Ze turned his gaze to Li Er, waiting for him to make a decision.

The whole hall was noisy for a long time, and it took a long time to stop.

Obviously, those who agree to cede the land are far greater than those who oppose it.

More people choose to remain silent.

Li Er saw that all the ministers had calmed down, and immediately asked, "How much arable land does your country need?"

When Li Ze heard that Li Er had given up, he immediately lowered his head in disappointment and sighed slowly.

Since Li Er asked for peace, let's make peace. The current Datang really needs a period of time to develop.

The two emissaries who raised their heads responded, "Jiannan Dao!"

"Is Jiannan Road north or south?"

"All!" The two Tubo envoys turned their nostrils to the sky, looking domineering.
