Is this a matter of giving gifts to whom and not whom?
Li Chengqian was clearly talking about the darkness in the court and the ulterior motives of the Tubo envoys.
But Cheng Yaojin was still thinking about the fact that the Tibetan envoy did not give him gifts.
This also made Li Chengqian quite speechless.
My Uncle Cheng, we can be greedy for money, but not to this extent...
However, Li Chengqian also understood Cheng Yaojin's character very well.
As for his performance at this moment, it was also expected.
After all, Cheng Yaojin's temperament was that if he didn't take advantage, it would be a loss.
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin was holding the table and gasping with anger.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but said: "Uncle Cheng, if they don't give you a gift, it must be related to your teasing."
"They should have noticed that giving you gifts is of no use..."
Originally, Li Chengqian just wanted to comfort Cheng Yaojin's injured heart.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin became even more angry when these words came out.
"That's not OK."
"I have to go find him."
"I'm going to ask him face to face why he doesn't give me a gift."
"Is it because I, Duke Lu, have a lower title, or because I, General Jinwuwei, have a lower position!"
With that said, this guy really wanted to get up and walk out.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian also hurriedly stopped him: "Uncle Cheng, if you go now, you will be embarrassed and go abroad."
"Who is the Tibetan envoy?"
"Even if he gives you something, he will definitely tell his own monarch later, or even my father."
"It's a bit embarrassing to talk about this matter, and it doesn't suit your status..."
"but……"
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian paused.
He rubbed his chin and said, "If you really want it, I really have an idea."
"Not only can you make a lot of money and kill the messenger, but it can also help you express your grievances."
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin's eyes suddenly lit up.
He looked directly at Li Chengqian and said, "I wonder what your highness has in mind?"
Li Chengqian smiled and raised his hand towards Cheng Yaojin.
Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin immediately understood and listened.
Li Chengqian whispered a few words in Cheng Yaojin's ear.
Seeing the appearance of these two people, Cheng Huailiang and Changsun Chong both looked puzzled.
What are these two bad guys studying?
Especially when they saw the evil smiles on their faces, their hearts tightened.
At this moment, they had actually begun to pray for the Tibetan envoy.
Apart from other things, if these two bad guys get together, they will either trick people or trick them to death.
After a long time, Li Chengqian smiled evilly and said to Cheng Yaojin: "Uncle Cheng, do you think this is a good idea?"
Cheng Yaojin gave Li Chengqian a thumbs up and said, "Your Highness is indeed worthy of your words, you are really brilliant!"
Li Chengqian also raised his hands towards Cheng Yaojin and said: "Uncle Cheng, you are just showing love to my nephew. Compared with you, my nephew is not worthy of being on the stage."
What these two guys said to each other was nothing more than a comparison to see who was worse than the other.
Cheng Huailiang and Changsun Chong were also speechless.
Therefore, neither of them paid any attention to these two guys.
Anyway, the two of them will definitely be able to see the final result.
Why rush this moment?
Moreover, the two of them have actually seen the results.
Nothing more than that, the Tubo envoy was tricked by these two people until he vomited blood...
After sitting for a while, Cheng Yaojin stood up and said: "Your Highness, I, Old Cheng, can't wait any longer, so I'm going to do something."
"good."
Li Chengqian also stood up, cupped his hands towards Cheng Yaojin and said, "My nephew would like to wish Uncle Cheng on his triumphant return."
"but……"
Li Chengqian once again showed a smirk on his face and said: "Uncle Cheng will get an advantage then, but we can't forget that it was me who came up with this idea. No matter what we do, we will get 30-70 points, right?"
"no problem."
Cheng Yaojin patted his chest and said, "Leave this matter to me. I will split the account with His Highness when I get back."
After Cheng Yaojin left.
Cheng Huailiang swished up to Li Chengqian and asked, "Your Highness, what idea did you give my father? Why does he smile like an old chrysanthemum?"
"You talk about Uncle Cheng like this, aren't you afraid that Uncle Cheng will hang you up and beat you?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes, and then said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, just take it seriously."
After thinking for a moment, Li Chengqian patted his stomach.
He said: "I am really hungry after talking for so long. Which of you two has money in your pocket? How about we go drink and eat meat?"
Okay.
His Majesty, the Crown Prince, goes out without any money, and even eats and drinks with his subordinates. This can be regarded as the first person in history.
However, Cheng Huailiang and Changsun Chong were both accustomed to this.
After all, Li Chengqian is no less stingy than Cheng Yaojin.
Therefore, these two guys had already prepared enough money when they went out.
Changsun Chongzhi said: "I'll invite you to this meal. Let's go to Huixiang Tower together."
"My cousin is still generous."
Li Chengqian smiled and pulled his eldest grandson out of the door, and Cheng Hualiang naturally followed behind.
…
Just when the three little ones were eating and drinking in Huixiang Tower.
Cheng Yaojin had also arrived at the post house where the Tubo envoys lived.
The Tubo envoy's name was Ni Ye, who was originally the Tubo Grand Sima and also offered wine.
At this moment, when I heard that the petty official came to report that Duke Lu of the Tang Dynasty asked to see him, he was also full of surprise.
Because when he came here, he had inquired about Duke Lu's temperament, and he also knew that this guy was a die-hard loyalist to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty didn't nod, even if he was given a mountain of gold and silver, he would still accept the money and do nothing.
That's why he kicked this guy off his gift list.
But unexpectedly, this guy actually came to the door.
What does this mean?
Didn't he go home claiming to be ill and not even go to court?
Seeing that his envoy was in a daze, the clerk thought it was because he didn't want to see him, so he said, "Sir, if you don't want to see him, I will go and tell him that he is sick and ask him to come back another day."
"No need!"
Ni Ye waved his hand and said: "After all, he is a noble and important minister of the Tang Dynasty. It is our honor to come to see us today. How can we drive him away?"
"Besides, even if you are driving someone away, you must first understand the other party's purpose."
"But don't forget the purpose of you and me coming here..."
Hearing this, the clerk immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I will invite him in now."
Not long after, Cheng Yaojin walked in from outside, accompanied by a small official.
Seeing Cheng Yaojin, Ni Ye also hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said in broken Chinese: "I don't know that Duke Lu is here. I am not welcoming him from afar. I hope you will forgive me."
"hey-hey."
"I, Old Cheng, don't care about red tape."
Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and said: "And I am here today not for business, but to help our Prince of the Tang Dynasty return some things."
With that said, he took out the jade pendant that Li Chengqian handed him from his arms and patted it directly into Ni Ye's hand.
Ni Ye was also very puzzled when he saw this.
He looked at Cheng Yaojin with surprise on his face and said, "Sir, what does this mean..."
