Seeing Zhang Yang and Wei Zheng leaving Xingqing Hall together, Li Tai quickly followed them.

The snow has just melted, the sun is shining brightly today, but the wind still makes people shiver with cold.

The two people in front of him were walking very fast, and Li Tai struggled to keep up.

"Please, Your Highness King Wei, please call Xu Jingzong and bring more people."

"Let's do it now." After receiving the words, Li Tai ran away.

Walking all the way to His Majesty's treasury, Wei Zheng smiled and said, "I admire your courage."

Zhang Yang said with emotion: "Before, Mr. Zheng said that villains are afraid of death."

Wei Zheng shook his head and said: "Actually, I have admired you since you were the minister of etiquette. A true man should stand upright and dare to take and give up. When His Majesty stripped you of your official clothes, you didn't even refute. If you dare to do what you do, young people should have you.

He is so courageous that he is willing to take his own life and stand upright in the world."

"What Mr. Zheng said is that in fact, my subordinates also regard you as a role model. You should be magnanimous and tough in life."

"That's natural." Wei Zheng stroked his beard and said, "If Zhang Gongjin hadn't already accepted you as his disciple, I would have wanted to accept you as his disciple."

"How can I be worthy of being the disciple of Duke Zheng?"

His Majesty's treasury is located behind the Taiji Hall. Zhang Yang and Wei Zheng arrived here, and Xu Jingzong and his people also arrived.

Looking at the eunuchs and guards guarding the warehouse, Wei Zheng said loudly: "Get out of the way, Your Majesty has decreed that all the treasures donated by Tibet will be returned."

The guard was also respectful when facing Wei Zheng, and was about to ask...

But they saw that Wei Zheng had already kicked open the door of the warehouse. Seeing this behavior, the guard was about to draw his sword and attack him. An old eunuch hurriedly ran over. He took the order given by Li Shimin, "Let Mr. Zheng and the people from the Ministry of Rites

Move away.”

The guard confirmed the will and did not stop him.

When you walk into the warehouse, you will see a scene of depression.

I originally thought it was His Majesty's small treasury, but when I walked in, I found that there was not even a single treasure I wanted, only three luminous pearls placed at the bottom.

The most common things here are some silks and scrolls.

The emperor's life was tight, and he hoped that the treasures donated by Tibet could improve his life.

The treasures such as the Night Pearl and Dongzhu in the emperor's hands were difficult to convert into money, and could only be used to reward ministers.

Xu Jingzong still didn't understand what was going on. When he saw Wei Zheng moving the box of gold, he hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Li Tai frowned, "It would be a pity to return all this gold to the Tubo people."

A large box of gold and several boxes of jewelry were moved out of the warehouse. Zhang Yang looked at his brother-in-law and said, "Your Highness, King Wei, why is there such regret on your face?"

Li Tai raised his head with reluctance in his eyes, "Shouldn't we feel sorry?"

"Since Tubo can produce so many treasures, it means that Songtsen Gampo still has a family. We should be happy at this time, how can we be downcast?"

"Otherwise? You still have to send these gold back. This is gold, this is not a silver cake!"

"Instead of making a deal, it is better for us to get it ourselves, and we want to take back what we give back to them, but we are just putting it in their hands first, and we will take it back sooner or later, and then we will not have to pay any price."

Hearing this, Li Tai blinked in confusion, "Seriously?"

Zhang Yang shook his head, "There is no need to regret the separation at hand, His Highness the King of Wei should take a long-term view."

Li Tai thought carefully, "I always feel that what you are saying is nonsense, but I can't refute it."

It's the beginning of the New Year, and I thought I would come here to pay New Year's greetings to my father-in-law, Li Shimin.

I didn't expect something like this to happen again.

This Lu Dongzan should be given as a gift at this time instead of giving it away early or late.

It makes people feel heartbroken.

For those who celebrate the New Year, New Year greetings are not satisfactory.

Let Xu Jingzong's people carry the box all the way out of Chengtian Gate, and the people from the Ministry of Rites clear the way from Zhuque Street past the Foreign Affairs Court. In front of them is the posthouse where the envoy lives.

Envoys from all over the world live here.

Also for the convenience of the Diplomatic Institute, the Diplomatic Institute is located in front of the Post House.

At this moment, Lu Dongzan was drinking wine and talking and laughing with a group of people from the Western Regions.

Dongzan wiped his mouth and stood up, "Zhang Shangshu, what are your orders?"

Zhang Yang waved and asked Xu Jingzong to carry the boxes in.

As the boxes moved in front of him one by one, Lu Dongzan hesitated and kept silent, "What does this mean?"

Zhang Yang said loudly: "These gifts are all returned to you Tubo. We in the Tang Dynasty will not accept them, let alone make peace with you. You can send a message to Songtsen Gampo to get rid of this idea as soon as possible."

The posthouse became quiet, and everyone looked at Lu Dongzan and the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Lu Dongzan stood up straight, "This is Zanpu's good intention, and I also hope that Tang Dynasty and Tubo can have a good relationship."

On New Year's Eve, all countries presented treasures to the Khan of Heaven to express their congratulations. Tubo was very generous and generous. Since everyone was a small country, they could not compare with Tubo in the Tang Dynasty.

He also didn’t dare to be like Lu Dongzan and boast that he wanted to marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty.

"You marched at the border and sent gifts to ask for the princess. Lu Dong praised you for your good tactics." Zhang Yang said loudly: "If we reject you, this will give Tibet a reason to go to war. If we, the Tang Dynasty, accept this

Is it that we, the Tang Dynasty, showed weakness to Tubo and married off princesses to protect ourselves?"

Lu Dongzan bowed slightly and explained: "Zhang Shangshu misunderstood, and Tubo had absolutely no such intention."

Zhang Yang nodded and said: "Whether you Tubo people have this intention or not, Lu Dongzan, let me tell you, as long as I am the Minister of Rites, there will be no such thing as marrying a princess out of the Tang Dynasty."

The words were resounding, and Lu Dongzan responded: "Zhang Shangshu is young and frivolous now. It seems to foreign ministers that even veterans in the court would not dare to say such words. I hope Zhang Shangshu will not regret this."

The words between the two became more and more violent, and the Tubo people who followed Lu Dongzan also gathered around.

Xu Jingzong and others also stepped forward.

Li Tai took out a stick from nowhere and said, "Well, you Ludongzan! I won't beat you to death today!"

I saw Li Tai coming forward with a stick.

Xu Jingzong immediately shouted, "Protect His Royal Highness the King of Wei!"

The posthouse suddenly became chaotic, and officials from the Ministry of Rites fought with the Tubo people.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Dasu, who was in the Foreign Affairs Academy, took a breath when he heard the news, "Are you really taking action?"

"Go back to Mr. Zhang and take action."

Zhang Dashu rolled up his sleeves and said, "You are a Tubo man. If you dare to attack our people from the Ministry of Etiquette, my brothers will beat them up."

There were many non-staff members of the imperial court in the Diplomatic Academy, so everyone rushed forward after hearing the words.

The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty were at a time when they were fierce and fierce. Ever since Li Jing led his troops to defeat the Turks, the morale of all Central Plains people had become much higher, and everyone's waist became straighter.

Not to mention that in Chang'an City, there will be no good consequences for outsiders who dare to act recklessly.

The situation was out of control. Zhang Yang stood outside the post house, looking at Wei Zheng with a solemn expression, "I didn't expect that things would turn out like this."

Wei Zheng sighed: "If I had known this, I shouldn't have come with you."

"They're all here, why don't Mr. Zheng fight with them a little bit?"

Wei Zheng: "..."

Li Tai's voice came, and he had slipped out at some point.

Looking at the intensifying chaos in front of him, Zhang Yang frowned and said, "Aren't Xu Jingzong and the others protecting His Royal Highness King Wei? Why did they come out first?"

Li Tai grinned, "I have been hiding under the table for a long time, and I ran out when I got the chance. Brother-in-law, don't worry, I am not that stupid."

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei just let out an angry roar. All the subordinates saw it and were really impressed."

"The Tubo people should not be so arrogant, they should be taught a lesson."

Seeing that he was still complacent, Zhang Yang put his hands in his hands and said, "I wonder if His Highness, King Wei, has thought about how to explain it to your father?"

"At worst, we'll be grounded for another month." Li Tai said lightly.

Zhang Yang shook his head in distress, this was not a matter of being grounded for a month.

The fighting in the post house quickly alerted the officers and soldiers of Chang'an City, and Yuchi Gong led Zuo Wuwei's soldiers and horses to surround the place.

When everyone stopped, Xu Jingzong and Lu Dongzan walked out in embarrassment with their men.

Looking at this scene, Wei Chigong actually smiled, "Before the fighting broke out outside the pass, Chang'an City took action first. I have no right to interfere in this matter. You all should go to Xingqing Palace to explain to His Majesty."

Seeing that Li Tai was about to escape, Yuchi shouted respectfully: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei! You must know the way to the palace, so there is no need for the general to escort him."

Li Tai turned around and saluted: "I understand, let's go to the palace to see my father."

The rest were left to Yuchi Gong to make arrangements, while Lu Dongzan, Xu Jingzong and Li Tai all went to the palace to report.

Of course, this also includes Wei Zheng and Zhang Yang.

Regardless of the fight, everyone in the Ministry of Rites had been holding their breath against Tubo, and now the bad breath was finally released.

As he was being escorted on Zhuque Street, the passers-by around him also cast admiring glances.
