The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 213 What is arrogance
It turned out that the iron cage contained a lion, which was not seen in Tang Dynasty.The only thing I saw was the stone lion in front of the door.

But to Li Chengqian, it was not a strange beast.I saw Li Chengqian walking towards the iron cage.

When the lion in the iron cage saw Li Chengqian walking towards him, he couldn't help roaring at Li Chengqian.It seemed to be warning Li Chengqian to stay away from it.

The iron cage is not very big, which limits the space for the lions to move.So all it can do is roar non-stop.

What Manchao Wenwu didn't expect was that Li Chengqian stretched out his hand to touch the beast in the iron cage.This frightened the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Even Li Shimin couldn't help standing up from the dragon chair, wanting to stop Li Chengqian's reckless behavior.

Before Li Shimin could speak, Li Chengqian's hand was already on the lion's head.The lion, which had been roaring non-stop, suddenly became much more honest.

But it was only for a moment, and then he started roaring at Li Chengqian again.Moreover, he raised his front paws, intending to attack Li Chengqian outside the iron cage.

Li Chengqian took two steps back, and then said nonchalantly for the envoy of the Tubo Kingdom: "This is the tribute that your Tubo Kingdom paid to the emperor, doesn't it seem a bit too petty?"

"Who are you, how dare you speak nonsense in front of this envoy." The Tubo envoy said to Li Chengqian with a displeased face.

"Stop being unreasonable, this is my Tang prince, the current crown prince." Changsun Wuji said sharply to the Tubo envoy.

Hearing that the young man walking in turned out to be the crown prince of Datang.This inevitably made the Tubo envoys less arrogant.

But Li Chengqian said: "Father, the Tubo Kingdom paid such a tribute. I think he really didn't take our Tang Dynasty seriously."

Seeing Li Chengqian's full confidence, Li Shimin's hanging heart finally let go.So he opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian: "There is also a letter of state written by Zanpu from the Tubo Kingdom here."

Li Chengqian came in front of Li Shimin and reached out to take the letter of credence from Tubo Kingdom.After looking at it, he said disdainfully: "Is this the Tubo Kingdom Credentials that you clamored just now, saying that no one in Tang Dynasty recognized me?"

The Tubo envoy nodded and said, "That's right, it's the letter of credence written in the Tubo language. I wonder if the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty can recognize it?"

"Such a simple and rough writing, dare to ask me if I recognize it. I, a five-year-old child in the Tang Dynasty, can teach you to recognize what is written on it." Li Chengqian said with a disdainful expression.

"Since the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty said so, please ask the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty to find a five-year-old child and teach the envoy what is written in this book." The envoy of the Tubo Kingdom still said arrogantly.

"Then today, I will let you learn a lot, and let you know that the small country has no sense of existence in front of the Tang Dynasty." After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he ordered Wang De to go to the East Palace to find Di Renjie.

After Wang De nodded, he turned and left the Tai Chi Hall, heading towards Li Shimin's East Palace.

However, Li Chengqian looked at the lion in the cage, and said to Li Shimin: "Father, do you know what kind of animal is in this cage?"

Seeing Li Chengqian secretly winking at him, Li Shimin said vaguely: "I see this animal seems familiar, but I can't remember what this animal is."

"Father is right. It is recorded in ancient books that a dragon has nine sons but does not become a dragon. My son looked at the animals in the cage a bit like a 狻猊."

"It's just different from what's in the records. My son thinks it should be Suan Ni, a hybrid of his Tubo country's livestock." Li Chengqian pointed to Li Shimin.

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, the Tubo envoy couldn't help being furious.Because Li Chengqian insinuated in his words that Tubo is a beast.

But Cheng Yaojin on the side laughed and said: "It's obviously a divine beast, but it was stained by the blood of this beast. My old Cheng is really worthless for Lord Dragon."

"What do you understand? This is equivalent to going to a brothel. It's understandable that I didn't pay attention to getting a prostitute pregnant for a while." Yu Chigong said.

"Da Laohei's words are reasonable, but the son of the Dragon Lord is a bit too low-grade. If you want to find at least a decent animal, you can find such a low-level animal. "Cheng Yaojin said with a big mouth.

This time Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong talked to each other, and the time when they belittled the Tubo Kingdom was worthless.The envoy of the Tubo Kingdom gritted his silver teeth in anger.

At this time, Wang De also brought Di Renjie to the Tai Chi Hall, and Di Renjie saluted Li Shimin respectfully.Then he opened his mouth and said, "I don't know what the emperor asked Di Renjie to explain."

Before Li Shimin could speak, Li Chengqian said to Di Renjie: "This is the letter of credence given to the emperor by Pu Songtsen Gampo, the king of Tubo. It's a pity that the dead minister who sent the letter of credence doesn't know the characters of his own country."

"It just so happens that you have nothing to do in your spare time. In front of everyone, teach the envoy of the Tubo Kingdom to recognize what is written on the letter of credence."

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he directly threw the Tubo Kingdom Book in front of Di Renjie.But Di Renjie didn't bend down to pick it up.

Instead, he opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian: "It turned out to be such a simple matter. Then please wait a moment, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness, Di Renjie will come and teach him how to read."

After Di Renjie finished speaking, he spread the Tubo Kingdom Credentials with his feet.Then he opened his mouth and said to the envoy of the Tubo Kingdom: "Do you want me to teach you word by word as a teacher, or read the whole article to you."

At this time, the body of the Tubo envoy had already begun to tremble.He never thought that he would be humiliated today.

It's a pity that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, so they can only say angrily: "Just read the whole article and listen to it."

At this time, Cheng Yaojin absolutely suppressed his smile, and whispered to Yu Chigong who was beside him: "What kind of master is teaching such apprentices, this kid is as arrogant as his master."

"If you want me to say it's more than worse. I, Da Laohei, haven't seen it yet, who would read other people's credentials with their feet." Yu Chigong also said to Cheng Yaojin in a low voice.

At this time, Di Renjie was ready, and he only heard Di Renjie read: "The emperor of the Tang Dynasty, now our Tubo country is strong, the army is strong, the horse is strong, the country is rich and the people are strong. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the national strength is also on par."

"It has even surpassed Datang in some respects. Now the Western Turks have sent envoys to join us in an alliance with the Tubo Kingdom and prepare to declare war on Datang."

"My Tubo Kingdom has not agreed to the Western Turks at present. I hope that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can judge the situation and avoid this war."

"The special envoys are using a lion as a betrothal gift. I hope that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty can choose a princess and marry her to Zanpu of Tubo Kingdom as my concubine."
