King Murong Zun looked a little embarrassed, but he had to lower his head under the eaves.
"Please make it clear to His Majesty the Khan!"
He whispered,
"If I knew about it, I would naturally tell you!"
Just ask questions! Why still arrest him?
Really...
The people of the Tang Dynasty were too domineering and rude!
"good."
Li Shimin looked down at King Murong Zun from a high position and said in a deep voice,
"Songtsen Gampo, the Tubo Zanpu, died on the road when he came to the Tang Dynasty to propose marriage!"
"He was attacked and died!"
"And the place where he was attacked is within the borders of your Tuyuhun country!"
"I want to ask you, does this matter have something to do with your Tuyuhun royal family? Did you send someone to do this?!"
He asked very bluntly!
It was so straightforward that all the ministers in the room were stunned!
Tubo Songtsan Gampo died, was it the Tuyuhun royal family’s fault?
In an instant, many people had already imagined a drama of overt and covert fighting in their minds!
King Murong Zun was also stunned when he heard this!
"Songtsen Gampo...is dead?"
He said in astonishment,
"How is this possible?"
"His Majesty Tian Khan, are you kidding me?"
Li Shimin sneered.
"Do you think I'm joking with you?"
Li Er said displeasedly,
"Everyone on the grassland knows about this matter! Tubo also knows about it."
"Now, the Tubo people are very angry, and I am also very angry!"
"Although I have never met Songtsen Gampo, I admire him very much. In fact, I have already regarded him as my son-in-law!"
"As a result, my son-in-law died inexplicably and was attacked in an organized and premeditated way!"
"I am very angry. This murderer, this mastermind behind the scenes, I must find him out!"
Murong Zunwang: "!!!"
Bang!
His head seemed to have been hit by something!
The whole person was dizzy, and it took a while to regain consciousness.
The first moment he came back to his senses, his face turned pale.
"This... His Majesty Tian Khan, do you think our Tuyuhun royal family did it?"
King Murong Zun shook his hands and said sadly and angrily,
"This is impossible!"
"You...you are making malicious speculations! There is no basis at all!"
"My father, he would never do such a dirty thing!"
Khan Li Shimin... was too domineering today!
The death of Songtsen Gampo shocked him greatly! This is undoubtedly an earthquake-level event on the grassland!
But now that he had reacted, he suddenly realized——
Songtsen Gampo is dead, what does it have to do with him?
Why did Li Shimin arrest him, and why did he maliciously speculate on him, thinking that it was the Murong family who did it!
It doesn’t make sense!
And... Li Shimin said that he had already identified Songtsen Gampo as his son-in-law...
What is oneself?
Are you here to go through the motions? Are you here to run with me?
Are you a clown? !
King Murong Zun became angrier as he thought about it, his fists clenched tightly!
That's too much!
What a deception!
"Really? Maybe you don't know your father well enough."
Li Shimin glanced at King Murong Zun and said calmly,
"Songtsen Gampo died in your Tuyuhun territory after all!"
"And he also has a lot of elites with him. It's not easy to kill him!"
"But in the end, the soldiers guarding him were unharmed, but he was shot to death by an arrow!"
"What kind of superb shooting skills do you need to be able to kill with one strike? If it were me, I wouldn't be sure of it now!"
When Li Shimin was young, he was famous for his skill with bow and horse!
His father, Li Yuan, is a marksman, and he is even better than his old master, even better than his father!
It is precisely because of this... Li Shimin was extremely surprised by Xue Rengui's performance.
This kid can do it!
With this shooting skill, he might even be better than himself now!
"What does this mean?"
King Murong Zun roared,
"It's just that the person who killed him is powerful!"
"Just because Songtsen Gampo died so easily, do you think it was me, Murong, who did it? Doesn't His Majesty Tian Khan think it's ridiculous!"
He is so angry!
When a person is extremely angry, he will naturally not care about his superiority or inferiority!
Now, he just wants to fight Li Shimin!
"presumptuous!"
Changsun Wuji shouted:
"King Murong, please don't speak arrogantly or be rude to His Majesty!"
When Li Shimin saw this, he waved his hand.
When he heard King Murong Zun's words, not only did he not feel angry at all, but the corners of his mouth still rose slightly.
What I want is for this kid to be angry. What I want is for this kid to be rude and offensive.
Anyway, I will definitely pour dirty water on you. If you accept it calmly, then I will feel a little embarrassed.
The more you resist, the more you curse.
I am getting more and more excited.
Hmm...why do you feel a little perverted?
Uh... I should have learned it from Xu Fenglei. After all, he was the one who led me up this dark road.
"If you think the reason is not sufficient, then I will give you a reason."
Li Shimin said,
"It's fine to say that this man's archery skills are superb, but why did he disappear without a trace in an instant after killing Songtsen Gampo? No trace left at all?"
"According to the latest investigation information, there used to be a team of three hundred people in the local area. They were very powerful and wiped out all the surrounding bandits. But after this battle, this team suddenly disappeared!"
"According to the clues, the leader is a Tuyuhun man. He told others before that he would return to the Tuyuhun Royal City after making enough money!"
"The word "hui"... is used very cleverly, indicating that these people are from your royal city! But now... they have disappeared without a trace."
"Don't you think...it's weird?"
The ministers all fell into thinking after listening to Li Shimin's analysis.
"A team of three hundred bandits is very strange. Generally, there are only a few dozen bandits. Three hundred people are an organized army."
Changsun Wuji analyzed:
"And in this team, there is also a person with excellent archery skills and strong aim. He just stands there and stares at Songtsen Gampo to kill him! After killing him, he disappears from the world!"
"If you can do any of these things, you won't be suspicious."
"But when all of these are brought together, people have to doubt that there is a huge force behind this person!"
"And the person who supports him is most likely the Tuyuhun royal family!"
"Your Majesty... I analyzed it, right?"
After he finished speaking, he did not forget to ask Li Shimin for credit.
Li Shimin nodded slightly.
"Yes, I think so too."
Li Er said solemnly,
"When there are too many coincidences, then it is no longer a coincidence! There must be a conspiracy!"
"This conspiracy must be exposed!"
"Because, Songtsen Gampo is my prospective son-in-law! If he is killed, it means that my son-in-law has been killed! If I, the father-in-law, do not avenge him, it will be unjustifiable!"
"So, this revenge must be avenged!"
"King Murong Zun, I hope you will confess! If you can confess and hand over that group of people, my anger can be reduced a little and I will not vent my anger on Tuyuhun!"
Murong Zunwang: "@%......&*@#¥!!!"
"What are you confessing? I confess! Everything I said is the truth!"
He clenched his fists and shouted angrily,
"It's not done! It's not done! It's just not done!"
"This matter... it was just an accident and has nothing to do with my royal family!"
"Tian Khan, you can't make false accusations without evidence! You can't act like this!"
It’s so frustrating!
It’s so frustrating!
In all his life, he has never looked so depressed! This feeling of being wronged and forced to admit something that I have never done...
It’s so uncomfortable!
He's going crazy!
"Playing a rogue? Do I call this a rogue?"
Li Shimin's face turned cold and he said sternly,
"Then you Murong clan surrendered to the Tang Dynasty on the surface, but secretly harassed Liangzhou and robbed the people and cattle and sheep on my border. What does that count? Does it count as being a rogue?"
"Then I asked your father to come to the Tang Dynasty to apologize. On the surface, he promised to be respectful, but he found excuses not to come, and then continued to send troops to harass the Tang Dynasty. What does this mean? Does it count as a rogue?!"
"I retreated to the next best thing and asked you to come and apologize, but you still refused to come! Even if you come now, you don't have the slightest attitude of admitting your mistake and repenting! You still yell at me!"
"Is this considered a rogue?"
"As for scoundrels, who can compare with you Tuyuhun people! Who can compare with you Murong clan!"
This questioning shocked all the ministers present!
Your Majesty, you went crazy at the court meeting!
The object of his rage is still a foreign prince... This is really rare!
Obviously, everyone can feel the emperor's domineering and murderous aura!
This is the rhythm of using weapons if you disagree!
"me……"
King Murong Zun's face turned pale.
Li Shimin's condescending position gave him a strong sense of oppression! It made him tremble all over and rendered him speechless!
At this moment, he was already in great fear!
He even felt that...Li Shimin would kill him in the next second!
"Be honest or not!"
Li Shimin suddenly stood up from the throne and issued an ultimatum.
"I'll give you one last chance!"
"If you confess and hand over these people, I can still discuss it with you!"
"If you still pretend to be stupid, then I can only ask the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to go to your Tuyuhun King's City to look for these thieves!"
"explain!"
Plop!
King Murong Zun's legs softened and he sat down on the ground.
"Confess, I... confess... confess what..."
"I don't know, I really don't know, I really don't know!"
"Don't force me, I really..."
"Ahhhhh..."
His face was earth-colored, his lips were trembling crazily, and his whole person had fallen into extreme fear!
If he really did this, he would definitely do it!
But the problem is...he doesn't know!
Did the father suddenly decide to kill Songtsen Gampo?
Could it be that someone in the clan wanted to usurp power and deliberately did this to put the blame on them?
Could it be...
At this moment, King Murong Zun's mind was completely messed up, and he was no different from a fool sitting on the ground.
Li Shimin looked at his appearance, took a deep breath, and showed no expression.
King Murong Zun is actually a bit pitiful.
I'm almost going crazy with myself.
But he had no time to pity a foreign prince at the moment.
There is never any emotion between countries!
"My patience has its limits."
Li Shimin said lightly,
"Since you refuse to confess, you can't blame me."
"Come on, drag him down and put him in a prison."
"According to the order!" Several guards stepped forward and held down King Murong Zun's shoulders.
"Let me go, let me go!"
"Li Shimin! Li Shimin, you are so cruel! You are a bullshit Khan! You are a foolish king! A tyrant! You have a heart of a wolf!!!"
"I shouldn't have come to this damn Tang Dynasty, damn Tang Dynasty! You all deserve to die!!!"
King Murong Zun suddenly seemed to have thought something through and scolded Li Shimin! Even dealing damage to all the people of Tang Dynasty!
These words immediately made all the ministers look down!
"Madman! Drag him down!"
Changsun Wuji gave an order.
The guards held down King Murong and took him to the prison!
"His Majesty!"
Changsun Wuji cupped his hands again and said,
"Murong is too arrogant! Not only did he invade our border repeatedly, but he also killed Songtsen Gampo in a sniper attack, which greatly damaged the friendship between Tang Dynasty and Tibet!"
"For such a surly vassal state, I think we should attack it!"
"I request your Majesty to send troops to teach Tuyuhun a lesson and to support King Tuyuhun!"
Li Shimin looked calm and looked at the ministers.
"I said that I would not use weapons for five years. How many years has it been now?"
he asked.
"Your Majesty, it will be exactly five years until this autumn!" Fang Xuanling responded.
"Autumn Lord kills! It seems that it is time to use the troops."
Li Shimin nodded slightly and said in a deep voice,
"Over the years, I have rested with the people, and the country has prospered a lot. However, the years of peace have also made the surrounding tribes and countries slack off."
"I feel more and more how disrespectful they are to me."
"Yidi people have human faces and animal hearts, they are afraid of power but not virtuous!"
"Now that Tuyuhun has repeatedly provoked the Tang Dynasty and blatantly killed Tubo Zampo Songtsan Gampo, if I don't impose sanctions, wouldn't it make the surrounding small countries think that the Tang Dynasty is incompetent?"
“By then, I don’t know how many Yi and Di people will covet my border state of Tang Dynasty!”
"Let's go, let's go, let's go!"
"I have decided to send troops to attack Tuyuhun this autumn!"
"My dear friends, what do you think?"
These words already explained all the reasons for sending troops!
The last question was just a formality.
During the political affairs hall meeting, even Wei Zheng, the most difficult person, had no objection. Now, how could anyone still object?
"I agree to send troops!"
"I also agree! Raising troops will last for a thousand days, it's time to put them to use!"
"That's right, I also agree to send troops! The Tang Dynasty did not raise unknown troops, because Tuyuhun went too far! The Tang Dynasty is going to crusade against the unfaithful, and attack and destroy the country without principles!"
"Yes, it should be cut down!"
"..."
For a time, all the ministers agreed, and there was peace in the court.
The only injured person was probably King Murong Zun, who was imprisoned in the heavenly prison.
Li Shimin listened to the voices of approval one after another, and then looked at the ministers who were usually anti-war. They were silent, and he was naturally in a happy mood.
"Okay, since there are no objections, I will make arrangements!"
He waved his hand and said, "Which general is willing to accept this battle?!"
