God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 237 The Challenge of Tubo

When Du He came out of the door, Du Ruhui was the first to catch up.

Seeing that there was no one around, Du Ruhui said curiously: "He'er, the performance of Cai Buhui's praise just now is not a show, did you really go to the posthouse last night?"

Du He nodded.

"The covenant, is it true?"

"Of course it's true. I signed it myself and stamped my handprint."

Du Ruhui asked inexplicably, "Then why did it become a blank sheet of paper?"

Du He smiled and took out an ordinary-looking signature pen from his sleeve: "Father, this pen is called a water-soluble pen. You can try it yourself and find out how to use it."

This water-soluble pen was won by Du He in a lottery.

Originally, he thought it was useless and almost threw it away, but he didn't expect it to come in handy last night, and gave Bu Hui Tong a thumbs-up.

After leaving the imperial city, Du He said to Zhang Jian who was beside him: "Arrange it, add some oil and vinegar to today's negotiations, and spread them out."

"Master, why?"

"Public opinion must be in our hands. The bastards in the DPRK and China still want to negotiate peace with Tubo at this time, so as to avoid war with some benefits. Unfortunately, His Majesty doesn't think so. It's not a day or two since he wants to fight Tubo. , I thought about getting etiquette without fighting, but after he got the cannon and explosives, he couldn't wait to find someone to test it. Tubo is the best whetstone...In this case, we will follow suit It's just a matter of His Majesty's thoughts, whether it's a war or not, it's always an opportunity." Du He said slowly.

Zhang Jian nodded: "Master, I don't understand, but I will definitely do what you said."

He looked up.

A white cloud slowly became angry from above the imperial city, and within a short time, it transformed into a dragon.

Du He raised his hand and gestured towards the white cloud. After a while, the dragon transformed into a cloud and vanished into thin air.

……

Bu Huitongzan opened his eyes, and it was pitch black.

After a while, he recovered.

I saw the light of an oil lamp flickering.

Outside, it was pitch black.

Bu Hui Tongzan asked, "Now, what time?"

"My lord," the people next to me were pleasantly surprised when they heard this, "My lord, according to the time of the Central Plains people, it's five o'clock now, and it will be dawn soon."

"It's five o'clock, ahem..." Gong Song Zanbu's dark face turned pale at the moment, he sat up and said, "Go and inform the Tang court that Tubo is going to challenge Du He at noon today. , if Du He doesn't dare to fight, he is a coward."

The people around him were startled and asked, "My lord, why did you suddenly challenge Du He?"

A look of viciousness flashed in Bu Huitongzan's eyes: "Of course, I took the opportunity to kill Du He. At that time, even if the peace talks failed, I would have an explanation with Zanpu. What's more, Du He dared to play me. If I didn't kill him, it would be hard to kill him." Give up my great hatred."

"My lord, what if Du He refuses to fight?"

"Then tell Datang that Du He is a coward and dare not accept our Tubo's challenge at all. I will make him have no place to stand." Bu Hui Tongzan said viciously.

"Yes, my lord!"

In a short time, it was dawn.

Suddenly, there was a lot of noise outside.

Bu Huitongzan's complexion changed, and he hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

A subordinate rushed in from outside and said in a panic, "My lord, it's not good. Many Tang people came outside, scolding us and throwing rotten leaves at us."

Bu Huitong listened carefully.

There were intermittent shouts from outside.

"Tubo... people, get out of Chang'an!"

"Down with the Tibetans!"

"Tubo people, get out of Chang'an!"

I saw outside, Zhang Jian and others mixed in the crowd, shouting loudly.

It turned out that yesterday Zhang Jian dispatched a team of fangs to spread the news of yesterday's negotiations all over the city.

The behavior of the Tubo people at the negotiating table is exaggerated. The Tubo people even asked for [-] Tang cities with a population of one million.

When the news reached the ears of the common people, everyone couldn't sit still and scolded the Tubo people for being shameless.

Early in the morning, hundreds of people surrounded the gate of the post house, threatening to beat the Tubo people to death. If there were not guards at the gate of the post house, everyone would have rushed in.

Seeing that the momentum was almost there, Zhang Jian and others slipped away quietly.

……

The news that the Tibetans wanted to challenge Du He spread to the palace.

All civil and military officials were shocked.

Everyone gathered in the Tai Chi Hall and urgently needed to negotiate a result.

Some people think that it is necessary to fight, otherwise Datang's reputation will be weakened.

Some people firmly opposed it, thinking that Du He was just a scholar, if the Tibetans sent warriors to challenge, not only would Du He's life be in danger, but Datang would lose face even more.

Some people think that it is possible to fight, but others must be sent.

Regarding this matter, no matter from which angle you look at it, those who agree with the challenge are not necessarily helping Du He, and those who are against the challenge are not necessarily against Du He.

East Palace.

In the back garden.

Li Chengqian stood by the lake, frowning.

Zhang Xuansu hurried over and said: "His Royal Highness, I have found out clearly that this time the Tibetans challenged Du He to prepare for the Wenbi and Wubi."

"Nonsense, Wenbi, I believe that Du He will never lose to the Tubo people, not to mention the Tubo people, Du He's talent, looking at the Tang Dynasty, there may not be anyone who can match him, but Wubi is simply nonsense, who would not I know, Du He has no power to restrain a chicken, so I will never agree to this matter!" Li Chengqian said angrily.

Zhang Xuansu shook his head: "Your Highness, isn't this a good opportunity to get rid of Du He?"

"Teacher, you..." Li Chengqian turned around and looked at Zhang Xuansu in surprise, "Didn't you say that day that you want Du He to be used by me?"

Zhang Xuansu smiled slightly: "That was when he was safe and sound, and we couldn't get rid of him. Now, the opportunity to get rid of him is right in front of us. Why don't we let the Tubo people get rid of him? I've already found out clearly This time, Buhui Tongzan has a follower beside him, he is the famous god of war in Tubo, he can fight wolves, he can single-handedly fight with lions, he can be called a warrior, this person compares with Du Hewu, Du He will definitely die."

"No," Li Chengqian flicked his sleeves, "I will never agree. Du He is the uncle of Huyi County and has made many contributions to the Tang Dynasty. I hate Du He in my heart, but I don't want him to die in the hands of the Tubo people, so I will go to the Tai Chi Hall and reject the challenge of the Tubo people."

With that said, Li Chengqian flicked his sleeves and headed towards Tai Chi Palace.

Zhang Xuansu shook his head helplessly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, sometimes, kindness is a good thing, but sometimes, being too kind will harm you."

……

When Li Chengqian walked into the Tai Chi Hall, the civil and military officials were arguing, and the hall was very lively, but no one came up with a good idea.

When everyone saw Li Chengqian, they all shut up and kept quiet.

Li Chengqian said: "My lords, I don't think there is any need to discuss this matter again. For the safety of Du He, I have decided to reject the challenge request of the Tubo people."

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Li Chengqian curiously.
