Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 969
Silla Kingdom, Gyeongju City.

Anxiety is spreading.

Cui Bujian ran over to Tian Yigeng's mansion in a hurry. When he ran, there was cold sweat on his forehead.

"Master Xiang, something happened, something happened..."

Cui Jianjian had never been so panic-stricken as he is now. Seeing him like this, Tian Yigeng's heart suddenly sank, and he was afraid that something really happened.

"What happened?" Tian Yigeng asked.

"Master, Tang Envoy was going to leave today, but they were assassinated as soon as they left the posthouse. That Jia Zhang is dead, and Tang Envoy is dead."

Tian Yigeng's face suddenly turned pale after Cui Bujian said that the envoy of the Tang Dynasty was dead. The envoy of the Tang Dynasty died in Silla, so wouldn't all their previous plans be in vain?
And now, even if they don't want to fight Datang, it's okay, right?

"How could this be, has the assassin been found?"

"The assassin is still looking for, but Mr. Xiang, even if we find the assassin, I'm afraid it won't help. We must make adequate plans now."

Tian Yigeng nodded, he naturally understood what Cui Bujian meant.

After pondering for a while, Tian Yigeng said: "It seems that a war is inevitable. Tell me to go down and let me, the soldiers of Silla, prepare for the battle. Soon, there will be a big battle."

The people behind the whole incident, Tian Yigeng and Cui Bujian, could figure it out with a little brainstorming. This must have been done by Cui Xianzhi, King of Silla Kingdom, but even knowing that he did it is useless.

Moreover, Datang's face is not saved, and he must send troops, which also echoes Datang's temper.

All they can do is prepare for battle.

After Tian Yigeng ordered to go down, Cui Bujian quickly nodded in response.

Their Silla Kingdom is afraid that there will be a big war soon.

At the same time, in the palace.

"My lord, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty was assassinated."

After hearing the news, a sneer appeared on the corner of Cui Xianzhi's mouth, and he nodded: "Okay, I see."

His plan finally succeeded.

Now that Tang envoy was killed, he would like to see how Tian Yigeng can cover the sky with one hand.

He knew that doing so would deal a great blow to his Silla Kingdom. After all, no matter who fought Tang Jun, they would suffer great losses, but this time, he was going to die and survive. If not, He will always be just Tian Yigeng's puppet.

He knew that his chance was finally coming, and he had to seize this chance.

On the Silla side, active preparations have already begun.

As for the matter of the assassin, they didn't pursue it very much anymore, because it was completely meaningless. Even if they found the assassin and sent the assassin to Datang, would Datang calm down and stop sending troops?

What's more, the assassin may be from the Silla King Cui Xian's sect, and let Datang know that it was the king of Silla who killed their envoys, then this battle may be even more inevitable.

Anyway, Cui Xianzhi is still the king of Silla, and what he represents is the entire Silla country.

For a moment, the atmosphere in Silla was a little dignified, with a strong killing intent.

At the same time, the news of the Tang envoy's killing has also been rushed to Chang'an City.
-
Chang'an City in early summer is very hot.

Some people have already started selling popsicles on some streets, and the cicadas are making non-stop noise.

In such an atmosphere, Chang'an City gave people a very comfortable feeling.

And at this moment, a fast horse galloped hurriedly to the gate of the palace.

"Urgent report, urgent report..."

After the messenger ran over, he just yelled twice and rolled off the horse. He was already exhausted and a bit weak. The people in the palace were shocked when they saw this scene. Soon, some people ran away. Come out and bring the messenger into the palace.

In the imperial palace, the early dynasty had ended, and Li Shimin was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study.

The summer weather made people a little irritable. After Li Shimin reviewed a few memorials, he suddenly lost interest.

"Holy..."

A palace official hurried in, holding an urgent report in his hand.

"What's the matter?" Li Shimin was a little impatient.

"Urgent report, Jia Zhang, my envoy sent by Datang to Silla... was killed."

"What?" Hearing the news, Li Shimin stood up immediately, and then roared angrily, "Jia Zhang was killed? Silla is really brave, what's going on?"

The palace man handed over the urgent report. After Li Shimin read it, his brows were slightly condensed, and a killing intent burst out in his eyes.

"Come on, go and call Changsun Wuji and Qin Tian to me."

The envoy of the Tang Dynasty was assassinated in Silla. This matter is too serious, and it must be discussed carefully.

Even if Li Shimin was extremely angry at this moment, he still had to discuss it.

After receiving the order, the palace people retreated, and not long after, the princes and others in the court rushed to the palace in a hurry after receiving the order.

When Qin Tian came to the gate of the palace, Cheng Yaojin and the others had already arrived one after another.

Several people met and were taken aback.

"The Holy Majesty also called you here?"

"Why did I call you?"

Several people looked at each other and quickly realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Do you know what happened?"

"I don't know for the time being, the palace people didn't have time to say."

A group of people came to the imperial study room, and soon, the imperial study room was overcrowded. Everyone stood together and looked at each other, but they dared not discuss in a low voice.

When people were almost here, Changsun Wuji stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you called all of us here, but what happened?"

Li Shimin nodded: "I just got an urgent report that my envoy from the Tang Dynasty, Jia Zhang, was assassinated in Silla. I want to know what you mean."

Li Shimin's tone was very cold, and after he finished speaking, all the officials were a little surprised and shocked, and the voice of discussion suddenly rose again.

"What, Jia Zhang was assassinated in Silla, and Silla is really brave."

"Whoever says no, even dare to kill my envoy of the Tang Dynasty, what audacity."

"The envoys sent by my Tang Dynasty to Silla were killed, and my Tang Dynasty's face is gone. This is simply a slap in the face of my Datang."

"If I, Datang, don't do something, other countries will laugh at us to death."

"That's right, that's right, my Tang Dynasty's envoy was killed just now when all nations came to court, where does this make my Great Tang's face go?"

Everyone said one word to another, the whole imperial study room was in a commotion, Li Shimin's face was cloudy, just as they were talking like this, Li Shimin waved his hand suddenly, and said: "My dear friends, I feel that I, Tang Dynasty, should be right Does Silla use troops?"

The entire imperial study room suddenly fell silent.
