Chapter 249 Big Lie

"What's going on?"

Seeing what Li Xiang said so solemnly, Lu Dongzan was indeed a little curious. The two countries are both big countries, and all kinds of things must be sorted out clearly. What if a war starts because of a misunderstanding? It is a relatively big loss for both countries.

Although the two countries have regarded each other as rivals, no one wants to start a war immediately before their vital interests are involved, especially when they are not fully prepared.

"In the agreement signed between our country and Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun has recognized that it is a vassal state of our country, so if your army invades Tuyuhun, it will be equivalent to invading our Tang Dynasty."

After Li Xiang's words came out, not only Lu Dongzan's expression changed, but all the civil and military officials in the court, including Li Shimin, were dumbfounded. Although we bullied Tuyuhun a lot, they never said it was our vassal state. , you are lying when you say that.

If a few people are chatting, it's okay to tell a lie, but now you are in front of the Prime Minister of Tubo, and your words cannot withstand scrutiny at all. If word spreads, Tuyuhun will directly deny it, I'm afraid Wasn't Tang's face completely disgraced?

"..."

Li Shimin was about to speak out, but Li Xiang's look stopped him. Li Shimin suddenly felt that he was a vice-emperor. Who of the two of us is the emperor? Usually I just look at others to silence them. How dare you, little bastard? Your grandpa doesn't speak.

Some people also observed this scene, and they all shut their mouths. Since the emperor can bear it, why should we stand up? If His Royal Highness Changsun's grand plan is ruined, all of us may have to be punished as a whole family.

But some people don't have such discernment. When he heard what Li Xiang said, he immediately stood up, but a person next to him stopped him.

"Second brother, please be patient."

The person who wanted to go out was King Li Tai of Wei. King Wu Li Ke held this guy tightly. The two of them had a fight in the Jinluan Palace some time ago. Li Tai suffered a lot at the hands of Li Ke, mainly because He has been studying literature since he was a child and has no interest in martial arts. However, Li Ke is good at both civil and military arts. So when the two princes fought, the other slaves stayed far away and no one dared to go up. If they block it, Li Tai will be the only one who suffers.

"Do you know what this kid is talking about? This will bring disaster to our Datang."

Li Tai said softly.

"It's not my second brother's turn to worry about it. My father is still here."

Li Ke said unmoved. The voices of the two princes were not loud, and the people around them could not see any actions of the two princes. They just looked at the two of them as if they were competing, but these were the two sides of the imperial court. As a prince, no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with us. Try to get involved as little as possible. Because of the issue of fighting for the throne, aren't there many brats who will die?

"Your Highness, are you serious about this?"

Lu Dongzan said with some disbelief, because he had never heard of this matter. He also had many people inside Tuyuhun. He only heard that Tuyuhun lost land and money, but he had never heard of it. Even his own His dignity has also been lost. Isn't Li Xiang trying to deceive him by saying this?

"I am Prince Taiping of the Tang Empire, the eldest grandson of the current emperor. Isn't what he said true? What's more, this place is the Jinluan Palace."

Li Xiang said enthusiastically.

Lu Dongzan nodded beside him. Even if Li Xiang had the courage, he would not dare to talk nonsense in such a place. However, he had such a complicated intelligence network before. How could he give this most important information to him? Missed it? If they had known that Tuyuhun was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, they would never have formulated such a military invasion policy. This would be tantamount to declaring war on the Tang Dynasty.

Attracting the Tang army to the plateau, then their Tubo army has a 100% chance of winning. But if they leave the plateau, who will win between the two countries? Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts. The journey is too difficult. Once the supplies are cut off, the Tubo Kingdom has no chance of winning.

"Can I please take a look at the documents signed at that time?"

What Lu Dongzan said is actually a very unreasonable behavior. You are questioning His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun of the Tang Dynasty, but this matter is really too big. If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, Lu Dongzan really doesn't have it. Way to believe.

Lu Dongzan's words also made other people put their hearts in their throats. When facing an outsider, you don't have to tell the truth, but we are all family members. Even if this agreement is from beginning to end, After rummaging through it, there could not be any article that recognized it as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, do you not believe me, or do you not believe me, the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Xiang looked provocative and was thinking about how to pass the test.

"I am just being responsible for our country. If it is really written in the contract that Tuyuhun is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, then I can make the decision for Tubo now and stop the war against Tuyuhun in time."

Lu Dongzan said tit for tat. He had already determined that Li Xiang could not have this agreement in his hands. If so, would he still be afraid of seeing it himself?

The reason why Li Xiang gave a look of panic just now was to induce him to say this. Now that you have said this, we have the initiative in some matters. As for the agreement, It is true that I did not sign it at that time, but I will definitely let you see it before you leave Chang'an City.

"Okay, the Prime Minister is indeed very cheerful and respects the Tang Dynasty. Such an agreement cannot be shown to outsiders because it involves some external secrets. However, since the Prime Minister said this today, I will definitely let When the Prime Minister saw that this agreement was stored in Liangzhou City, I immediately ordered people six hundred miles away to get it back quickly. It will only take more than ten days. The Prime Minister will stay in Chang'an City for many days, so he will definitely be able to see it."

Although Li Xiang obtained a buffer period of more than ten days, it would not be so easy to turn one country into a vassal state of another country. Even if Tuyuhun was defeated like that, he did not sign such an agreement.

"This is natural. Even a lifetime of visiting Chang'an City's customs and customs is not enough. I will wait for His Highness in the guild hall. However, if His Highness cannot bring it out by then, I, the Tang Dynasty, will not interfere with any military operations of the Tubo Kingdom in Tuyuhun. "

Lu Dongzan doesn't want to push too hard, but it's only been more than ten days. Can you still rebel? If we can't come up with an agreement then, we will still occupy Tuyuhun.
