Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Luoyang, the main hall of Daming Palace.

"Your Majesty, Fengge Luantai received a report from Yao Xiang a few days ago. The shameless Tubo people actually led troops to attack the peace mission."

"As a result, His Royal Highness King Yan and Princess Jincheng are in danger. I hope Your Majesty will make a decisive decision immediately!"

As soon as Song Jing said these words, he immediately caused an uproar in the hall.

"What, the Tubo boy dared to kill the marriage envoys, it is simply unreasonable!"

"Hmph, I really can't believe this bunch of aliens. I think this alliance is nothing more than a delaying tactic."

Seeing the righteous indignation in the hall, Li Longji sneered in his heart and frowned on the surface.

"Prime Minister Song, is this news reliable?"

"Reply to Your Majesty, this letter is stamped with Prime Minister Yao's personal official seal. It is absolutely reliable!" Song Jing showed a trace of sadness on his face.

"It's just that three months have passed since this happened. I would like to see Prince Yan and the Princess..."

He didn't say anything else, but the ministers still understood.

More than four thousand guards were besieged by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Even if Fan Xin had ten arms, he might not be able to survive.

The atmosphere in the hall fell into solemnity for a while.

Although Li Longji was secretly happy for getting rid of Fan Xin, he did not dare to show it on his face.

After all, Fan Xin was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and his death was a great loss to the Tang Dynasty.

a long time.

Li Longji suppressed the joy in his heart, looked up to the sky and sighed, stood up and looked at the ministers.

"My dear friends, Fan Xin is our most outstanding minister in the Tang Dynasty. He has made immortal achievements in just a few years."

"Now that I am dead at the hands of the Tibetans, what do you think I should do?"

"Anyone who offends our Tang Dynasty will be killed!" the officials shouted angrily.

"it is good!"

Li Longji flicked his sleeves and robe and said to the ministers.

"We have never suffered such losses since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Today I will make the Tubo people pay with their blood!"

"Someone is coming, I will..."

"Report! The envoy of Tubo is urgently seeking to see you!" A figure ran from outside the hall, looking very anxious.

Li Longji frowned and looked at the person coming. The guard was sweating profusely from running too fast.

"What is so urgent?"

"Your Majesty, the envoy from the Tubo Kingdom is raising a white silk ribbon outside the palace to ask for an audience!"

"What! You came here holding Bai Ling?"

This surprise was no small matter, and all the officials' expressions changed.

According to etiquette, a country's envoy holding a white silk can only explain one problem.

That's when important people in the country die.

Li Longji obviously realized this and ordered his chamberlain to summon the Tibetan envoy.

After a while, the Tibetan envoy came to the main hall under the gaze of all the ministers and bowed his hands perfunctorily.

"See His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

Before Li Longji said anything, the ministers immediately quit.

Several veterans immediately jumped out and scolded.

"The bold Tibetan envoy dared to be so perfunctory when he saw me, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Perfunctory?" The Tibetan envoy sneered, not looking at them seriously at all, but looking directly at Li Longji on the dragon throne.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother of our country has done everything in her power to make a peace and alliance with your country for the sake of peace between the two countries."

"But you took our city without authorization and massacred 20,000 soldiers."

"Let me ask you, compared to your Tang Dynasty's treachery, what is so wrong about this envoy's disrespect?"

As soon as these words came out, the angry sound in the Daming Palace stopped abruptly.

Everyone looked at the Tibetan envoy blankly, thinking that they had heard wrongly.

Li Longji's eyelids twitched and his face darkened.

"I don't care about being rude, but I will never accept your slander."

"It was clearly you, the Tubo people, who betrayed your trust and killed the marriage delegation, but you turned the blame on us."

"Do you really think that Datang is easy to deceive?"

It was okay not to mention it, but the Tibetan envoy became even more angry when he mentioned it. He suppressed his anger and took out the Queen Mother's letter and Gai Lixu's bone string from his arms.

"Your Majesty, the evidence on this matter is conclusive and you cannot deny it!"

"When our people arrived at Baiquan City, a Jiedushi named Guo Zhiyun was stationed in the city with an army of 60,000."

"The ground is full of Tibetan corpses. If it wasn't him, who else could have done it."

As if to confirm his words, several loud sounds of victory suddenly came from outside the hall.

Immediately afterwards, several urgent envoys with command flags on their backs broke into the hall and said with excitement on their faces.

"Your Majesty, I am reporting a great victory in Baiquan. Envoy Guo Jiedu personally led an army of 60,000 to conquer the important town of Tibet and killed 20,000 bandit enemies!"

Normally, when he heard such good news, Li Longji would have laughed three times and celebrated this hard-won victory with the ministers.

But now is a critical period when fighting foreign forces must first pacify the domestic situation. He needs to rely on alliances to stabilize the other party and buy some time.

Now that the Tibetan envoys are present, what should we do?

Just when Li Longji was in a dilemma, the envoy who was kneeling on His Highness couldn't wait any longer.

It turns out that a great victory on the front line is a great joy, so why do the emperor and ministers look so weird?

So, he repeated what he just said.

"Your Majesty achieved a great victory on the front line. Guo Jiedu used his formation to kill 20,000 Tibetan enemy bandits..."

"Get out of here!"

"Yes!"

Several urgent envoys shrank their necks in fright and ran out of the hall.

At the same time, I was a little confused, what happened to Your Majesty? Shouldn't you be happy after winning the battle?

When the urgent envoy left the main hall, the Tubo envoy looked at the Tang Dynasty monarchs and sneered.

"Your Majesty, you may not know that after you Tang people killed our soldiers, you shamelessly went to Luoxie City to demand compensation."

"The Queen Mother of our country gave more than 10,000 cattle, sheep and horses, and more than 50,000 copper coins in the spirit of peace between the two countries. How to calculate this account?"

hiss!

Li Longji took a breath and felt his teeth hurt.

This Guo Zhiyun was so shameless, he just asked him to get rid of Fan Xin with the help of the Tubo people.

Unexpectedly, this guy not only occupied the city of the Tubo people, but also killed 20,000 people and went to the court to demand compensation.

What should we do?

Song Jing saw the emperor's face was gloomy and uncertain, sighed and walked out, cupping his hands.

"Your Majesty, Baiquan City is too far away from Luoyang, and the court does not know the specific situation."

"I think we should send a holy envoy to the front line to investigate."

"If what the Tibetan envoy said is true, Guo Zhiyun will be punished on the spot and the Tibetans will be given an explanation!"

Li Longji nodded gloomily.

"Who does Song Shangshu think is suitable to be the envoy?"

"I believe that Li Linfu, the great-grandson of King Changping Li Shuliang and the imperial censor Zhongcheng, is suitable to serve as the envoy to the Western Regions!"

"Li Linfu?"

Li Longji frowned and looked at the middle-aged man in the corner.

This person has never liked words and has never spoken since he went to the temple.

If Song Jing hadn't mentioned it, he really wouldn't have noticed this person.

"Li Linfu, Song Shangshu recommends you to go to the front line to investigate the dispute between the two countries. Are you confident?"
