Datang: Son-in-law, I beg you to come out of the mountain

"Turkic envoy, Abrague, pay homage to His Majesty King Tang!"

The leader, a strong man, held his head high and held his chest high, saying hello, but he just nodded slightly, looking very arrogant.

Although Li Shimin was very upset, but now is not the time to completely turn against Turks!
Moreover, Yang Zhuo said that next autumn we can send troops to destroy the Turks!
So, bear with it for now!

"Free gift!"

Li Shimin smiled slightly. Although he was disgusted in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.

"Several envoys have come from afar. If you encounter problems with food and accommodation, just say so." Li Shimin said politely.

Unexpectedly, Abragg was really rude.

"Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, we Turkic and Tang Dynasty have made an alliance, and we can be regarded as a country of brothers. Our Turkic envoys came here, but the courtesy is the same as that of other countries. How does this highlight the relationship between Your Majesty and our Jieli Khan? As close as a brother?"

These words are full of sarcasm, and they also specifically mentioned the signing of the Weishui alliance!
"Abrague! Don't push your nose on your face! Give you some color and open a dyeing workshop! Believe it or not, I will interrupt your dog legs! Let you crawl back to Turkic!"

Cheng Yaojin, who was standing on one side, had long been unhappy with Abragg!
Hearing Abragg's tone at this moment, he wanted to go up and punch Abragg, but fortunately, Qin Qiong stopped him.

"Your Majesty, your Tang Dynasty claims to be a state of etiquette, but this courtier is so vulgar. It seems that the name of this state of etiquette is not worthy of the name!" Abrager looked at Cheng Yaojin with a sneer.

"You..." Cheng Yaojin was about to start scolding, but was grabbed by Qin Qiong!
Li Shimin smiled indifferently, thinking to himself, you are a complete Turk!At that time, the new account and the old account will be calculated together!

"Of course my Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and it also treats states with courtesy. When it comes to this matter, I treat your Turkic envoys more generously than other states. Just like now, according to the usual practice, the state has an audience. You need to bow down to me, but I didn't ask you to do so."

"Since I have treated you generously, you should also do your duty as envoys. Every word and deed should be considered for the friendship between the two countries."

When Li Shimin said this, all the ministers nodded. What he said was well-founded, neither humble nor overbearing!
Abragg was very uncomfortable by Li Shimin's words, but, thinking that he still had a task to do, he didn't say anything more.

"I don't know what the envoy is here this time?"

Li Shimin looked at Abragg sharply.

"Your Majesty, I have a decree written by Jieli Khan himself, you will know it when you read it." After Abrager finished speaking, he took out a credential.

Li Shimin frowned and motioned for Eunuch Su to fetch it.

Su Gonggong presented the letter of credence to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin opened it and looked, the more he looked, the darker his face became!

"Borrow [-] cows, [-] sheep, and [-] shi of wheat from Datang!"

It turned out that the Turkic envoys came here this time to obtain food, cattle and sheep from the Tang Dynasty!
When the officials below heard it, they were instantly blown up!
"One hundred thousand cattle and sheep! One hundred thousand stones of wheat! This is going to bring down my Great Tang!"

"That's right! The snowstorm has just eased! This Turk is talking like a lion! Isn't this clearly provocative!"

"But, right now, my Tang Dynasty doesn't have the strength to start a war with the Turks!"

"It's my mother! I'm using three axes!" Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but wanted to rush up again.

"Be quiet! Your Majesty is here!" Qin Qiong stopped immediately, fearing that something bad would happen to Cheng Yaojin.

Li Shimin greeted the eighteen generations of Jieli Khan's ancestors in his heart, and then frowned.

"Abrague, although my Tang Dynasty is about brothers with Turkic, I also want to help Jieli Khan. Unfortunately, with the continuous snow disasters, my Tang Dynasty is also stretched, and there is really nothing I can do to help."

After a few sentences, Li Shimin declined the matter.

If this really gave the Turks [-] cattle, [-] sheep, and [-] shi of wheat, wouldn't the treasury be empty?
It's fattening the Turks!

However, this incident exposed a problem, it seems that Yang Zhuo was right.

The snowstorm in the Turkic side is also very serious, otherwise, Jieli Khan would not come to ask for food!

"Your Majesty, when Abulag went out, Jieli Khan specifically explained that this must be done. I hope that Your Majesty will understand Abragg and grant our Khan's request."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we Turks have always been trustworthy, and we will always repay what we borrow."

Abrager looked at Li Shimin arrogantly.

"I just said that there is nothing I can do to help." Li Shimin said a little displeased.

Seeing Li Shimin's obvious refusal, Abrager said with a sneer, "Your Majesty, we have to borrow this grain this time! It's best if you lend it to us, otherwise, we can only grab it."

"Abragg! Don't go too far! This is our Tang Dynasty! Don't act wild!" Changsun Wuji said angrily.

The other ministers were also very angry, this Turkic was too much!
"I am dissatisfied with Your Majesty. Abragg has brought [-] iron-blooded cavalry with him this time. He is currently stationed on the banks of the Weishui River. Please think again, Your Majesty!" Abragg said proudly.

What!Abragg also brought [-] Turkic iron-blooded cavalry!

You know, these iron-blooded cavalry are the most elite force of the Turks. They are good at riding and shooting, brave and diligent, and can stand up to ten with one!

As soon as Abrager said this, the faces of the officials below changed. The minister who had insisted on not giving it, at this moment, hesitated!

They were afraid that if Abragg was offended, the [-] elite cavalry would march south!

It will become the second shame of Weishui!
Li Shimin didn't expect that Abragg even brought iron-blooded cavalry with him!Still 3 people!

He pinched the handle of the faucet, his knuckles turned blue!
"This is a major event. The envoy will go back to the post house to rest first. We will discuss this matter tomorrow!"

After speaking, Li Shimin shook his sleeves and left.

-

Harem.

"hateful!"

Li Shimin slammed the table angrily.

"Your Majesty, calm down first."

Empress Changsun rarely saw Li Shimin lose his temper so much. She had heard about what happened today.

"Jieli Khan is so hateful! He is so arrogant!" Li Shimin was furious.

On the surface, they came to borrow food, but in fact they sent troops to loot!
"Your Majesty, Yang Zhuo said that the battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks will take place next autumn, and we will endure it for the time being." Empress Changsun was also helpless. At this moment, the Tang Dynasty did not have the strength to fight the Turks.

Li Shimin felt much better when he heard this.

"What the Guanyin servant girl said is absolutely true!"

"Your Majesty, now think about how to deal with Abragg. This food and cattle and sheep must never be given." The eldest grandson queen said.

Li Shimin used Yang Zhuo's strategy to provide disaster relief, and just now he recovered, the national treasury was already empty!

If you really want to lend it to the Turks, you must expropriate it from the people. As far as the people are concerned, wouldn't that make things worse!
"I definitely can't give it!" Li Shimin said firmly, but then he was very sad, "But this Jieli Khan is so hateful, he even arranged [-] iron-blooded cavalry to be stationed by the Weishui River!"

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask that person to see what he thinks?" Empress Changsun said with bright eyes.
