Jie Li first sent people to plunder the borders of Datang, and then sent envoys to Chang'an.
At the great court meeting, when the Turkic envoy who smelled like sheep said to Li Er with a toothy grin: "Your Majesty, on the order of the Great Khan Jieli, I came to ask you to marry the Princess of the Tang Dynasty. I hope that after our two families get married, , can be friends forever", the whole court suddenly exploded!
Invasion, confrontation, peace. These three things seem to be a trilogy that has been repeated by the grassland nomads and the Central Plains dynasties for thousands of years: rob if they can beat them, start to harass them when they are evenly matched, and then make a marriage.
All in all, I won't stop until I take advantage of your family.
"This is ridiculous!" When His Royal Highness the King of Chu was being held tightly by his two younger brothers while he was chanting the Three-Character Sutra, Wei Zheng, the number one troll in the Tang Dynasty, stood up first. He stared coldly at the Turkic envoy and said in a low voice: "Great The Tang Dynasty and the Turks have long had a non-aggression treaty, but three years ago, your Jieli Khan broke the agreement. At that time, for the sake of the peace of the people of the Tang Dynasty, our Majesty not only gave you a large amount of gold and silver treasures , and even renewed the Weishui alliance with you. The oath made that day is still in my ears! But now, you have betrayed your trust again. Not only have you launched another war against the Tang Dynasty, but even when things have developed to this point, you even want to make peace? Ha, he Jie Li Khan is so proud!"
"Don't stop me! I'm going to kill this bitch!" At this time, it wasn't just Li Tai and Li Ke who were stopping Li Kuan. There were also two fierce generals in the army, Yu Chigong and Chen Yaojin, one on the left and the other on the right. He put his arms across Li Kuan's chest to prevent him from breaking through the restraints.
"Your Highness, King Chu, please calm down," Cheng Yaojin said with a very serious look on his face at this moment, "Now is not the time to be impulsive."
"I don't care! The marriage is fine, let me go!" The furious His Highness the King of Chu suddenly opened his mind at this moment and shouted to the Turkic envoy: "Is your Khan's mother still alive now? Is she okay? Yes. Well, how is her beauty? That’s all, for the sake of peace between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, I don’t care about this anymore, come on, let me use my body as fodder to become the Supreme Khan of the Turks!”
boom!
As soon as His Highness the King of Chu said these words, the Turkic envoy suddenly turned into a sculpture, and the civil and military ministers who had long been familiar with the style of "The Barbarian King of Chu" looked at each other with rather complicated expressions: You think this man is talking like a rogue. It is indeed a gangster. After all, this "Tai Shang Khan" is a trick that no one has ever imagined, but... this is a state matter, and the King of Chu is playing such a childish game, I'm afraid...
"You are... the King of Chu? Your Highness, King of Chu, how dare you insult my Khan?!" The Turkic envoy obviously did not expect that someone could take advantage of the mother of his Khan.
Of course, the ministers in the court did not expect that the bad reputation of His Highness the King of Chu would spread to the Turks...
Back to business.
Because Li Kuan wanted to be the "Tai Shang Khan". The Turkic envoy could not elaborate now... so he could only turn to His Majesty Li Er with an angry face and said: "Your Majesty, in three days, I will be on my way home in three days. If the Tang Dynasty cannot give me a khan by then, A satisfactory answer, then sooner or later the sound of horse hooves coming from the grassland will be heard in the suburbs of Chang'an. I hope your Majesty will not regret it then!"
After the envoy finished speaking, he bowed to Li Er, then glared at Li Kuan fiercely, and then turned his gaze to Li Er, meaning that the "King of Chu's marriage" was not over yet, and then he turned and left. , this disrespectful behavior, to be honest, is much worse than the Goguryeo envoys a year ago.
"Damn it! You dare to threaten my father?!" Li Kuan was really furious now. Originally, he had been fully prepared in the past year, relying on the relationship through Dou Shilun to transport large quantities of goods. Going to the iron ore in Yushan Villa, Li Kuan built a large number of powerful crossbows, bows and arrows, and even made several pairs of compound bows specially for himself. He originally planned to take advantage of the fact that the Tang Dynasty was about to use force on the grassland in the near future. His shadow assassins helped the army, but now, a marriage? !
Have sex with your mother!
Why should a princess of the Tang Dynasty go to the grassland to suffer?
Damn it...not to mention your tradition of fathers dying and sons succeeding, brothers succeeding brothers. On the grassland, women are treated like cattle and sheep. There is no human ethics at all. In view of this, I am the king of Chu. If you don't stand up and oppose it, you are really a coward.
"Okay! Just calm down!" On the dragon throne, His Majesty Li Er looked at His Royal Highness King Chu, who was now one year older and taller, but his temper was also growing. He felt a headache: "The marriage Although this matter is related to the emperor’s family affairs, it is more of a state matter. I want you all to discuss it carefully. God, take your brother away!”
Following Li Er's order, Prince Li Chengqian stood up and first saluted his father. Then he came to Li Kuan and glanced at his unconvinced brother. The tacit understanding and trust between the two brothers , allowing Li Kuan to temporarily suppress the anger in his heart, and the two brothers walked out of the Tai Chi Hall side by side under the watchful eyes of the civil and military officials.
"Your Majesty, I thought..." Just when Tang Jian was about to suggest to Li Er that he be sent as an envoy to the Turks to persuade him to change his mind...
Suddenly there was a loud "crash" outside the hall.
"That Shuzi!" His Majesty Li Er slammed the armrest and said with a sullen face, "Yun Shang! What did that Shuzi do again?!"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Yun Shang, who was guarding outside the hall, stumbled into the hall at this time. He knelt on the ground and shrank and said: "Your Highness... Your Highness, he kicked down the display in anger. The floor-standing three-color carved vase on the corridor outside the palace..."
Okay!
Now all the civil and military officials in the palace who had previously felt that "one year has passed, His Highness the King of Chu has become so obsessed", now suddenly woke up: the King of Chu is still the same King of Chu, and he has never been so stingy. It hasn't changed.
"This bastard..." His Majesty Li Er felt that his eyes were fierce and his temples were bulging and swollen: "There is no time to calm down..."
