Chapter 653 Something happens when you go out

According to the rules, the people of Gaochang Kingdom knelt down to send Li You away, which was understandable. After all, they were already members of the vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, let alone the princes of the Tang Dynasty. Even if they were a protector like Mr. Zhao, that would not be possible. You have to kneel down to greet him.

But now the countries in the Western Region are not all nominally independent countries. It is quite acceptable for them to bow to you. You must know that they are not ordinary people. They are ministers of various countries, and you are not theirs. Sovereign country, why should I kneel down for you?

"The Prince of the Tang Dynasty has arrived in person, and envoys from various countries kneel down to greet him."

Just when these people were lining up, Niu Jinda moved the sword on his waist, and immediately a messenger came over on horseback and announced the order loudly to them, which made the people present immediately I'm stunned. You didn't mention this when you came to announce the order yesterday. How can you make us kneel down to greet you now?

If there are some minor things, now that the Tang army has arrived at the city, they can tolerate it, but now it is a bit too much to have us envoys from various countries kneel down to greet them. If you could communicate with us in advance, , that makes sense, but suddenly we were asked to do something like the national anthem, and everyone was a little panicked for a while.

"The Prince of Tang Dynasty is here..."

Seeing that the people present did not move, the orderer shouted again and circled around them to ensure that most of the people heard it. If anyone said they didn't hear it now, or use this reason If I come to prevaricate Niu Jinda, I can only say I'm sorry for you.

Everyone looked at the envoy of the Western Turks. After all, he was the largest country in the Western Region.

Although he is the second son of the Western Turk Khan, after all, it is the Prince of the Tang Dynasty who comes this time, so the envoys sent to greet him must be equal. If someone is sent here casually, the Tang Dynasty may take it with him. This matter is the reason for starting a war.

The Western Turks are the core of the coalition, and now all the envoys are looking at him.

"General Niu, please come forward and speak."

The second prince Laidu rode out.

Niu Jinda knew that something would definitely happen in this matter. When he sent people out just now, he knew that the people on the other side would not kneel down honestly. This represents the national character of a country. If it were so simple, then they Don't bother.

According to the thinking of various countries in the Western Regions, if Li Shimin or Li Chengqian came today, it would be normal for them to kneel down to greet them. Even people like Li Xiang could do it. After all, he was the current or future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but Li You are just an ordinary prince. There are dozens of people like him in the Tang Dynasty. If we have to kneel down to greet such people, then do we still have status?

Niu Jinda nodded to Eunuch Han next to him, asking him to pay attention to protecting Li You's safety, and then led a few cavalry around him. The whole team stopped like this. Li You's face looked a little ugly. Could it be that I am a dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty, can’t I even ask you people to kneel down?

"General Niu, I am in Laidu, the second prince of the Western Turks..."

"I don't care who you are, you should listen to our Highness's order clearly and give you a cup of tea to consider. Either kneel down to greet him, or you can do your thing and we can do ours."

Niu Jinda didn't care who the other party was, but interrupted him arrogantly. You must know that he is also the second prince of the Western Turks. The current status of the Western Turks is equal to that of the Tang Dynasty. You are just a general of the Tang Dynasty. That’s all, why do you interrupt someone else’s conversation?

"Isn't that rude, General?"

The second prince also has a temper. Although the overall national strength of the Western Turks is different from that of the Tang Dynasty, he has never received such treatment since he was born.

"Who has the final say whether it is reasonable or not? There are all kinds of countries these days. Some are as powerful as the Tang Dynasty. Some may only have one or two cities and cannot even muster tens of thousands of troops. If all countries were equal, wouldn't it be unfair to the Tang Dynasty?"

Niu Jinda held his head high and said that the surrounding cavalry also meant the same thing. The people of the Tang Dynasty now have very high self-esteem, let alone the generals of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, His Royal Highness the Second Prince also agreed with Niu Jinda's theory. After all, among the countries in the Western Region, their Western Turks' status was higher than others. When they first thought that the ministers went to other countries, other countries also gave him They received them with a high standard, but now someone more powerful than them appeared, and the Western Turks knelt down to greet him, this guy felt unhappy.

"Let's discuss the matter without talking about other nonsense. I can let people from some small countries kneel to greet you, but I, the Western Turks, are a big country in the Western Region and will never do such a thing."

The second prince felt that he was much nobler than Niu Jinda, and he didn't want to talk nonsense with Niu Jinda. In his eyes, Niu Jinda was just a martial artist, and he was not qualified to talk to him at all. If he could say so much to him, that was already I think highly of him.

"His Royal Highness, you have misunderstood. Did you not hear our message clearly just now? I, the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, personally ask that everyone kneel down to welcome you."

Niu Jinda snorted coldly, before other small countries, you Western Turks do have privileges, but in front of us, the Tang Dynasty, where does your sense of superiority come from? You all originally split from the Turkic Empire, but the Turkic Empire has been defeated by our General Li Jing. The remaining people wanted to rebel a while ago, but were casually destroyed by our Highness. You still have something to be proud of. Something?

Although the Tang Dynasty did not have a war with the Western Turks, everyone knows that the overall national strength of the Western Turks is not very good. Compared with the period when your Turks were strong, you are like a child now. You still want privileges from our Datang. You Is it worthy?

"General Niu, don't be too desperate in what you do. You must know that this is the Western Region. We, the Western Turks, are the leading country in the Western Region, with 200,000 capable soldiers..."

"Are you talking about family background? If you are talking about family background, you are far behind us. There is no need for me to say it myself. You should also know how strong my Datang is."

Niu Jinda still looked cynical and didn't take this guy's words to heart at all. If your Western Turks were really powerful, would General Kang Ying allow our prince to go to various countries in the Western Regions? You refused at that time.
