As soon as they entered the main hall, a chamberlain shouted: "Yinshan Hou Tang Ping has arrived! King Wei Tai has arrived!"
Then a chamberlain led the two of them to their respective places.
Sitting at the top were Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, followed by Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji on the left and right.
The middle position at the bottom is reserved for Tang Ping and Wang Qingluan. Although the two of them are not as good as princes like Li Chengqian in terms of status, after all, this is their wedding, and they are the protagonists. In addition, Tang Ping is still Li Chengqian's Cousin, it’s okay to sit in the middle.
Next to them are Li Chengqian and Li Tai.
Next down are Li Ke and other princes, and then sitting on both sides are envoys from various countries.
For this kind of formal occasion, the palace naturally has its own procedures. Anyway, Tang Ping is next to Wang Qingluan, so he can do whatever he is told.
After finally completing the process, it was time to have a meal.
Nowadays, most of the night banquets held in the Tang Palace are new dishes learned from Xiao Luo. If it were the first time for the envoys to come, they would almost swallow their tongues.
After drinking for three rounds, Lu Dongzan suddenly stood up.
The position of envoys is basically based on national strength. The first one on the left is Qiuli, because they are considered one of their own by joining the Tang Dynasty.
The first one on the right is Lu Dongzan.
"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you."
"Oh, but it doesn't matter!" Li Shimin saw Lu Dongzan standing up at this time, thinking that something was going to happen.
Lu Dongzan took out the copy of Wang Xuanying's credential: "The former Emperor Taizong of Dongyue once had a credential in Tubo. I would like to ask your Majesty to read it!"
A chamberlain took up Lu Dongzan's credentials and handed them to Li Shimin.
Tang Ping looked at all this curiously, not knowing what was written on it.
Li Shimin spread it out and looked at it, then asked expressionlessly: "I don't know what this means?"
"Since Taizong of Dongyue and I, Tubo, have a marriage contract, and Prince Zheng is now Princess Qingluan, then this marriage...should be completed by me, Tubo?"
"Bang!" Before Li Shimin could speak, Li Yuanji kicked over the desk in front of him.
"Lu Dongzan, do you really think that Bu Zhan is here to envoy, so you are so unscrupulous?"
Nalu Dongzan looked at the exposed Li Yuanji and did not flinch: "King Zhao, don't panic. The Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette. Everything cannot escape a word of etiquette. Now that envoys from various countries are here, why not ask everyone? What do you mean?"
Li Shimin looked at the other envoys below calmly. Knowing that they had gathered a few days ago, he was afraid that this was the reason.
"Okay, everyone, tell me, what do you think about this matter?"
"I think what Mr. Lu Dongzan said is reasonable!" Prince Fusang stood up first and said, "No one can stand without faith. Yesterday I lost to Yinshan Hou, and even the chessboard that I had not left for more than ten years was handed over to me, so I I feel that the word “faith” is the most important.”
"I agree too!" said the third prince of Beiyan.
"I agree too!"
"I agree!"
For a time, all the people present at the table, except the envoys from East Vietnam and Turks, expressed their agreement.
Wang Qingluan's eyes were red, and he stood up and said to Lu Dongzan: "That letter of credence was sent to Tubo by my father to delay my marriage when the country asked me to get married. Later, there was also a letter of credence stating that the marriage contract was invalid, and he also sent it to Tubo. Thousands of gold and intellectual capital as an apology!"
"I'm sorry, Princess Qingluan, I didn't hear about the certificate of credence you mentioned about the annulment of the engagement." Old God Lu Dongzan said calmly, as long as they say no about this kind of thing, then it means there is no such thing.
Even if Wang Xuanying is still alive, he can't produce any evidence.
"you……"
Wang Qingluan wanted to say more, but was interrupted by the Dongyue envoy.
The Dongyue envoy was originally from Zhen Xiong, and he immediately understood that if Wang Qingluan could marry to Tubo, he would no longer be a threat to the Zhen family.
So he stood up and said: "If the credentials are true, we will consider it!"
Wang Qingluan wanted to say more, but Tang Ping grabbed his wrist, and then Tang Ping stood up.
He looked at the envoys from various countries below and smiled contemptuously: "Young man, I'm determined to get married."
After speaking, he turned back to look at Li Shimin.
Before Li Shimin spoke, the eldest grandson smiled gently at Li Shimin and said, "It seems that someone wants to steal my wife from the Tang Dynasty today."
"Hahahaha!" Li Shimin looked at Tang Ping and said firmly: "They can't take it away!"
"Your Majesty, you have thought clearly!"
Lu Dongzan glanced at Li Shimin and then at the envoys from other countries. The meaning was obvious, that we are all united.
No matter how powerful you are in the Tang Dynasty, you alone can't defeat so many of us, and even the East Vietnamese envoys are on their side, what else does he have to fear?
Now the whole truth is on the side of Tubo. If the Tang Dynasty refuses, then it will be the enemy of the world.
"You are talking nonsense, believe it or not, now I will kill you all first?" Li Yuanji was furious at the top. If Li Jiancheng hadn't suppressed him, he would have really gone out and called the army to attack these envoys.
At this moment, Li Tai suddenly stood up, raised his hands and said, "Father, this is a serious matter, why don't we all think about it carefully, and ask the envoys to visit my son outside the city tomorrow before making a decision? "
As he spoke, he winked at Tang Ping.
"That's okay!" Li Shimin seemed to have given in, and said to Lu Dongzan: "It's late at night today, why don't we talk about it tomorrow?"
"Okay, then please ask His Majesty the Tang Dynasty to give me an answer tomorrow, so that I can go back and deliver my errands."
In this way, the rest of the banquet will definitely not be able to go on, and all the envoys left the hall.
"Don't worry, cousin, they are just a bunch of chickens and dogs. After tomorrow, I don't think any of them will dare to say no!" Li Tai said, patting his thick chest.
Li Chengqian also said: "That's right, cousin, I have to send all the reporters from our Datang Weekly here tomorrow to record their faces."
"Don't worry, Ping'er. When did we, the Tang Dynasty, ever fear threats?" Changsun also held Li Shimin's hand and said.
Li Shimin was even more heroic: "Yes, if they want to fight, then let's fight!"
Not to mention that Tang Ping was the only son of Princess Pingyang, even though Tang Ping brought many benefits to the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin also wanted to protect him.
What's more, Li Shimin's generosity is not only a threat to his own people, but also to other people. Look at the history, just a few years after the Turks forced him to sign the Tanyuan Alliance, he was captured by Jili Khan and brought back to Chang'an to let him specialize. Did you perform a dance for yourself?
I obviously invited you here to attend the wedding banquet, but if you want to disrupt the situation and prevent my wedding banquet from happening, it would be a slap in my face. Li Shimin can't bear this kind of thing.
