1399 Threat
The entire hall was silent, and all the ministers had only one thought in their minds, look, he really threatened His Majesty!

He actually threatened His Majesty!

Is His Majesty a person who is afraid of being threatened?
His Majesty originally wanted to send troops, but now that he was threatened by the Tubo envoys, he would only send out more troops.

Threats will only backfire!
Su Cheng couldn't help being happy when he heard this. The Tubo envoy successfully showed what it meant to shoot himself in the foot. Now Li Shimin has been completely ignited.

No one can stop Li Shimin from sending troops!Even if Empress Changsun blows the pillow wind at the most critical time at night, it's useless.

However, the Tubo envoys felt the silence in the great hall, and felt more and more complacent in their hearts. Look, the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty were all overwhelmed by his wise and impassioned eloquence.

Li Shimin was directly amused by the words of the Tubo envoy: "Are you Tubo threatening me?"

The Tubo envoy said somewhat reservedly: "Your Majesty, this is not a threat. The foreign ministers are just presenting the facts and reasoning. Your Majesty is wise and powerful. You ministers are all good ministers and generals. You must be able to think through it thoroughly."

Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "In the battle of Wuhai, we were defeated in the Tang Dynasty, and lost troops and lost generals. However, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. I just didn't expect that you, Tubo, just won a battle, and your tail would go up to the sky."

Li Xiaogong sneered and said: "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, I have experienced countless wars, big and small, sweeping the world, invincible, you Tubo only won a small victory by luck, and you have become arrogant, I really don't know what it is! "

Tubo cupped his hands slightly and said: "It's not that we Tubo are arrogant. The Tang Dynasty is indeed very powerful, and has magical weapons. It is unparalleled in the world to attack cities and pull out villages. However, the terrain in the northwest is completely different from that in the Central Plains. We Tubo people are used to fighting on plateaus. So take advantage."

"The foreign minister was ordered to go to the Tang Dynasty this time, and he really came for the peace of the two countries. I sincerely hope that the two countries can consider the common people, put weapons into storage, and live in harmony."

Su Cheng shook his head and said: "If you Tubo really wanted to live in peace, you wouldn't send troops to capture Tuyuhun. Now you're just getting cheap and being good-looking. Who doesn't know about Zanpu's little plan?"

"Our Tang Dynasty also wants to coexist peacefully, but peaceful coexistence is not achieved by retreating, but by fighting."

"Only when you, Tubo, are convinced, and you never dare to send troops again, can Datang and Tubo truly coexist peacefully."

After hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing and said: "Su Cheng is right. Only when you convince Tubo and never dare to send troops again, can Datang and Tubo really coexist peacefully!"

The Tubo envoy couldn't help but change his face slightly when he heard this, it was so different from what he expected!

The rhetoric he had carefully prepared all the way didn't work?Why can't the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty understand such a well-founded statement?
The Tubo envoy said in a deep voice: "The Great Tang insists on sending troops, isn't he afraid of repeating the same mistakes? Moreover, if His Majesty insists on sending troops, it will only deepen the hatred between the two countries."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "I sent troops to resolve the enmity. The Tubo envoys don't need to say any more. Go back and tell you Zanpu, let's fight in a dignified way."

The Tubo envoy's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Don't you think twice, Your Majesty?"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "I might as well tell you that I have already decided to send troops. The imperial court is already mobilizing food and grass, mobilizing large troops. It doesn't matter whether your envoys come or not, whether you Zanpu want to fight or not, as long as you Tubo don't return to the plateau. World War I is inevitable!"

"Actually, I don't want you Tubo people to take the initiative to retreat to the plateau, because I will drive you back to the plateau with swords and guns, and I will avenge the soldiers who buried their bones in Wuhai!"

The Tubo envoy's face completely collapsed when he heard this. In fact, before coming, they Zanpu told him that this trip will be very difficult, because the Emperor of Tang Dynasty is very proud and strong, and may not be able to persuade the Emperor of Tang Dynasty Soldiers truce.

But he was very confident and felt that he would be able to persuade the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty to strike a truce.

However, his well-prepared rhetoric did not have any effect at all, which made him very disappointed. After being disappointed, he couldn't help feeling that Zanpu and the Prime Minister were wise after all.

Now that this battle is inevitable and Datang has already started dispatching troops, it means that his mission has completely failed.

Regrets are regrets, but the Tubo envoys still straightened their backs. The mission of the envoy can fail, but the glory and dignity of Tubo cannot be lost.

The Tubo envoy said in a deep voice: "We came with a peaceful vision and sincerity, but Your Majesty and the ministers ignored it and insisted on going our own way. Then we, Tubo, are waiting for the troops of the Tang Dynasty in Tuyuhun. do not regret."

Li Shimin hummed: "I have never regretted it in my life, not now, nor in the future."

"The envoys of Tubo step down!"

"Foreign ministers leave!" The Tubo envoys could not do anything because they had seen the ceremony, so they immediately bowed and retreated.

A group of ministers watched the Tubo envoys leave, their eyes were full of unkindness.

The hall was quiet again, Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "I knew that the Tubo envoys must be showing off their power here, but I never thought that the Tubo envoys would dare to threaten me!"

"I never thought that there would be people in this world who would dare to threaten me!"

Changsun Wuji respectfully said: "Tubo's location on a plateau is like a frog watching the sky from a well, that's why it's so arrogant."

Su Cheng pondered: "The defeat of Wuhai last time really gave Tubo great courage. If Tubo can't be scared, I'm afraid there will be no peace in Longyou and Jiannan Road in the future."

Yuchi Gong yelled: "Soldiers come to block the water and cover them with soil, what are you afraid of him doing? Come and fight once, they don't have many people in Tubo, let's see how many people they can send to death!"

It's not Li Shimin's style to just be beaten passively. Li Shimin said in a deep voice, "So this time the burden is very heavy. It's not just about defeating the Tibetans, but also severely injuring them!"

It is not difficult to defeat the Tibetans, but it is not easy to severely injure the Tibetans, because the Tibetans are familiar with the terrain of the plateau, and they can retreat to the plateau once they are frustrated.

"What else do you love to play?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.

Because the Tubo envoys were showing off their power in the court hall, all the ministers were very indignant, and they came out to offer advice and suggestions, and the hall suddenly became lively.

Li Shimin was very pleased to see the scene where all the ministers unitedly supported the dispatch of troops.
