The whole hall was silent except for the heavy breathing of the third prince.
Looking at the third prince's demented expression, Muchuan couldn't help but shook his head.
The King of Goguryeo was really stupid to send such a loser here.
But this is also a happy event for Datang.
Otherwise, the troops would be unknown, and it would be inconvenient for Tang Dynasty to send troops to Goguryeo.
"Humph, since Goguryeo wants to approach the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will certainly agree."
Li Shimin looked at the third prince coldly and said: "Go back and tell the King of Goguryeo that soon our cavalry of the Tang Dynasty will defeat Goguryeo."
Hearing this, the third prince's expression changed drastically, and he finally recovered from the panic just now.
On this mission to the Tang Dynasty, my father had repeatedly told me to be on good terms with the Tang Dynasty.
If he brings back the news of the Tang Dynasty's declaration of war, he may be insulated from the throne from now on.
Thinking of this, the third prince quickly opened his mouth to explain.
"Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there is a misunderstanding! What that villain said is all lies!"
In desperation, the third prince even drew his sword and rushed towards Jin Xiuen with a dark face.
"This prince will definitely kill you, the traitor who is sowing discord!"
Before the third prince could take a step, he was directly pushed to the ground.
The person who took action was none other than Muchuan.
"You're such a stick, if you can't succeed in the assassination, are you going to attack by force?"
Muchuan stepped on the third prince's head, his words filled with coldness.
"No, that's not the case!"
The third prince hurriedly tried to explain, but before he could say anything, Muchuan kicked him hard a few more times.
Muchuan was so powerful that even ordinary generals couldn't withstand these kicks, let alone a pampered royal family like the third prince. Naturally, his vision went dark and he fainted.
Regarding this scene, Li Shimin just watched with cold eyes, but did not speak to dissuade him.
"Your Majesty, the murderer has been captured by me, please punish him!"
After completely subduing the third prince, Muchuan also stopped in time.
How to deal with the third prince has to be decided by the real master of the Tang Dynasty, and he cannot make the decision.
"Come here, take the murderer who wants to kill me into the prison, and ask the Queen to kill him."
Li Shimin glanced at the remaining Goguryeo apostles and said, "As for the others, they will be put into prison together."
"Here!"
With an order, a large number of guards rushed out and took away the unconscious third prince and all the stunned Goguryeo people.
After everyone was taken out, Cheng Yaojin finally couldn't hold it anymore, rushed out, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead troops to attack Goguryeo!"
"Your Majesty, I am also willing!"
Yu Chigong then rushed out second.
The two of them were like fuses, and soon almost all the generals were begging for their lives.
"National war is no small matter. This matter will be discussed later. Now let's withdraw from the country."
Li Shimin did not give a direct response, but his caution could be seen.
A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength, not to mention that this rabbit from Goguryeo killed the Sui Dynasty alive.
Even though the generals felt helpless, they still had no choice but to retreat as ordered.
When Muchuan was about to leave, he was stopped by someone.
"Master Mu, your Majesty declares to you."
Wang De said with a smile.
Muchuan nodded and followed suit.
"Lord Wang, can you tell me your Majesty's intention in declaring me?" Muchuan asked curiously.
"Master Mu, how dare I speculate on His Majesty's holy will?"
Wang De paused for a moment, then lowered his voice, "But don't worry, Master Mu. Your Majesty seems to be in a good mood."
Hearing this, Muchuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Don’t seek merit but seek no fault.
Muchuan now has a deep understanding of the principle that being with a king is like being with a tiger.
Not to mention that he was just a prince-in-law who had never been married, but he was Li Shimin's biological son. If he violated Li Shimin's interests, he would probably die.
Don't forget, the Xuanwu Sect's blood hasn't dried yet.
Following Wang De to the Zichen Palace, Li Shimin was staring at a map.
"Your Majesty, Master Mu is here."
"Your Majesty, Holy Ann."
Muchuan immediately saluted.
Li Shimin still didn't look away, just nodded.
"Mu Chuan, come over and take a look."
Muchuan moved closer and saw a map from the Tang Dynasty for the first time.
The map is not detailed. It only marks the locations of the countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty in detail. As for the continent beyond the sea, it is not even on the map.
"What do you think when you look at this map?"
Li Shimin glanced at Muchuan and asked lightly.
Muchuan was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and said, "Your Majesty, I think this map is a bit too simple."
"simple?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but glared at Muchuan and said, "This is the most detailed map in the world today. Have you ever seen a more authoritative map than this?"
Muchuan laughed dryly and didn't explain much. He just looked at the pen and ink on the table.
"Your Majesty, I dare to lend you my pen and ink."
"Use it."
After getting the hint, Muchuan drew a complete map of the earth based on the memory in his mind.
Of course, the specific country boundaries were not marked in Muchuan. After all, there were countless countries, large and small, in this era, and he couldn't remember them.
After finishing the painting, Muchuan presented the map to Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, please look at this. This is the map of the world that I mentioned."
Li Shimin looked at the map suspiciously, but his brows were furrowed.
"absurd!"
"How can there be such a large land outside our Tang Dynasty?"
Li Shimin glared at Muchuan fiercely and said, "Are you lying to me?"
Obviously, the land Li Shimin was referring to was North and South America.
These two continents are still in a primitive state, and almost no one in the world knows about them.
Therefore, it is normal for Li Shimin to have this reaction.
Wang De was so frightened that he quickly pulled Muchuan and whispered: "Master Mu, you don't dare to make such a joke!"
Muchuan smiled and shook his head, saying: "Your Majesty, I am not telling any lies. These two continents really exist."
"If you don't believe it, your Majesty can send a expedition team to check the location according to the map."
"If these two continents did not exist, I would be willing to accept the death penalty."
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but watch Muchuan's expression carefully.
From Muchuan's face, Li Shimin could not see any panic or evasion, but only calmness and confidence.
"Okay, I will definitely send a fleet to find out in the future."
"Let's put this matter aside for now, Muchuan, do you know why I announced your arrival?"
Li Shimin put away the map and looked at Muchuan calmly.
Muchuan quickly responded: "How dare your Majesty's ministers to speculate."
"It's just that if your Majesty gives orders, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"oh?"
Li Shimin looked at Muchuan with a half-smile and said, "What if I order you to kill yourself now?"
Upon hearing this, Muchuan's pupils shrank suddenly.
He just said some lies, but he didn't expect that Li Er would actually test him.
