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 country, the Tang Dynasty."
After Li Xiang's words came out, not only Lu Dongzan's expression changed, but all 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 it gets spread, Tuyuhun directly refuses to admit 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 deputy emperor. Who among us is the emperor? Usually I just look at others to silence them. How dare you, little bastard?
Your grandfather 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 Highness Changsun's grand plan is ruined, we people may
The whole family must be questioned and beheaded.
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. Some time ago, the two of them fought in the Jinluan Palace. 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 you block it, the only one who will suffer is Li Tai.
"Do you know what this kid is talking about? This will bring disaster to our Datang."
Li Tai said softly.
"Then it's not my second brother's turn to worry. 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 died?
"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 I 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?
Did you miss 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 balance 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 is no way there can be found an article that recognizes 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 straightforward and respects me, the Tang Dynasty. Such an agreement cannot be shown to outsiders because it involves some external secrets. However, since the Prime Minister has 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 is not willing to push too hard, but we only have more than ten days. How can you still rebel? If we can't come up with an agreement by then, we will still occupy Tuyuhun.
