NOVEL NEXT Chapter 628
Princess Gaoyang rubbed her eyes, turned around and returned to the big bed.
Seeing the two little princesses also sleeping soundly, she got into the bed again.
Gently hugged the little princess.
......
Li Chengqian took Fang Xuanling to the Honglu Temple, and the Tubo delegation had already arrived.
Li Chengqian also told Fang Xuanling what Li Shimin meant.
Fang Xuanling had no objection, and the Tang Dynasty did have the capital now.
Seeing Li Chengqian and Fang Xuanling, several Tubo envoys stood up and saluted, "See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
"No need to be polite, please take a seat, distinguished envoys!"
The envoy stared at Li Chengqian's legs and found that unlike the legend, the Tang prince was no longer lame.
As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian's temperament and demeanor were not bad.
The confidence displayed from the inside out came from the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
The Tibetan envoy stood up, bowed slightly, and took out Songtsen Gampo's letter, "Your Highness, this is a letter from the Zamp. I hope Your Highness will pass it to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, hoping to marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty and form an alliance between the two countries..."
Li Chengqian raised his hand to interrupt the envoy, "You can take the letter back, and there is no need to mention the matter of marrying a princess. The Tang Dynasty refuses marriage!"
This stunned the Tibetan envoys. They did not expect that the Tang Dynasty would refuse, and refused so bluntly.
Not at all tactful.
Although the Tang Dynasty is strong, the current Tubo should not be underestimated. It is also one of the top powers.
This made the Tibetan envoy look unhappy.
"Your Highness, the Tang Dynasty has always claimed to be a country of etiquette, but this is not the way to treat guests!"
"A country of etiquette! The way to treat guests?" Li Chengqian had a blank expression and was slightly domineering, "That's how to treat guests!"
"Obviously you are not!" Li Chengqian looked at the Tibetan envoys coldly.
"Tuoba is a neighbor of the Tang Dynasty. We should have lived in harmony with the Tang Dynasty and sought common development. However, you have betrayed your loyalty and repeatedly violated the border of the Tang Dynasty, disturbed the peace of our people, and seized our property and land."
"I have warned you many times, but you do not repent!"
"Think of the Tang Dynasty, which has always been based on benevolence and has been very kind to you. We have never owed you anything in trade and cultural exchanges. But you are not grateful, and instead think that the Tang Dynasty is weak and can be bullied. How can you blaspheme the power of the Tang Dynasty!"
As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, his domineering aura was fully displayed.
"Now, on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, I declare to you: The Tang Dynasty's soldiers, a mighty army, will surely flatten your unjust land. We send troops to uphold justice, protect our Tang people, and guard our Tang territory. This is the responsibility of the Tang Dynasty and the glory of the Tang Dynasty."
"If you know what's good for you, surrender early and send envoys to apologize, you may be spared from the catastrophe and the suffering of all the people. Otherwise, under the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, you will be wiped out and pay a heavy price for your evil deeds!"
The people in the delegation were shocked. If they didn't agree to marry the princess, why did they suddenly declare war?
If they didn't know that this was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, they would have thought it was fake.
It was very sudden!
Li Chengqian stood up and left directly without any room for negotiation.
It was not a negotiation, and there was no need to discuss it. It was just a simple notification.
There was no sneak attack because they had to have a legitimate reason, and the Tang Dynasty was confident now.
Li Shimin and Li Chengqian both felt that the weapons of the Tang Dynasty were completely fine now.
Li Chengqian led his men away, leaving a few Tibetan envoys in the mess in the Honglu Temple.
Someone watched Li Chengqian's performance and reported it to Li Shimin as soon as possible.
He repeated the whole story to Li Shimin, including Li Chengqian's tone and attitude.
"As expected of my son!" Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.
Ordinary people may not know about this for a while, but the top leaders have known about it for a long time.
The generals who learned the news all ran to the Taiji Hall.
Naturally, they volunteered to lead the troops to fight.
Li Shimin also knew the temper of his generals.
"Ananda, when other generals come to me later, just say that I am very busy and can't leave, and I will not see any generals."
Li Shimin was also very troubled.
Many emperors don't have generals to use, but Li Shimin has too many to use, and he can't use them all.
Every time the generals fight, Li Shimin has a headache.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll remember it." Li Shimin went to the side hall leisurely with the tablet computer in his arms.
Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang were almost done with their work.
The two sisters rode their bicycles back to the Princess Courtyard.
There are many bicycles in the Tang Dynasty now, but the two princesses are different from the others.
The difference is huge.
Princess Yuzhang pressed the doorbell, and it was Xiao Ran who came over.
"Young Master!"
"Brother!"
"Well, are you done?" Xiao Ran looked at the two of them.
"I'm done, where's Sizi?" Li Lizhi pulled Xiao Ran's arm.
"Still sleeping, ILet's go!"
There are trains and planes to Xi'an, but Xiao Ran wants to drive there.
The Northwest Grand Loop is very famous, and Xiao Ran has never seen it, so it's a good opportunity to take a look.
I'm going to take a break, find a suitable opportunity, drive the car over, and take Li Lizhi and others on a self-driving tour.
Flying directly there will be less fun.
"Brother, let me book a plane ticket!" Princess Yuzhang took out her mobile phone.
The previous tickets were all bought by Xiao Ran, and this time Princess Yuzhang wanted to come by herself.
"The customs and natural landscapes in the northwest are different. Let's drive over instead of taking a plane and take a good look."
"Little Young Master, is it far?"
"Not too far, but once you leave Guanzhong, the scenery over there is completely different. Wu Niang and Liu Mei will know it then."
"Okay! "Princess Yuzhang did not talk about the ticket again.
At night, Li Shimin summoned Chang Sun Chong and asked him to write in the newspaper about the repeated invasions, burning, killing and looting by Tubo.
Li Shimin knew that these would inevitably arouse the anger of ordinary people, and it would be justified for the Tang Dynasty to send troops in the future.
Standing on the moral high ground.
After all, the whole world belongs to the king, and all the people are the king's subjects.
The Central Plains Dynasty has never been an invader. The whole world is the Central Plains Dynasty. How could it be an invasion?
Beating you is called promoting education!
The importance of newspapers is also reflected.
Control public opinion, and what the people know is what the court wants them to know.
The next day, Xiao Ran and his friends drove west.
Before going north, we passed by the Taihang Mountains, and the Qinling Mountains near Xi'an are equally spectacular.
"Wow!" Princess Yuzhang and Li Lizhi took out their mobile phones and kept taking pictures.
Very shocking!
The two little princesses didn't get it, looked outside, and felt it was boring.
"Brother, this place is much more interesting than the plains. "Princess Yuzhang said while taking photos.
Xiao Ran also thought so, "Driving in places like this is also interesting. Driving near the ancient city before was really tiring and boring."
After leaving Guanzhong, Li Lizhi and the others saw different customs and practices again.
It was a little desolate.
There were no lush forests, and many of the mountains were bare, with only bushes and lawns.
