Chapter 9 Brazen!
Because it is not the time of the court, this meeting is more like a banquet.

In the Qilin Hall, there are many songs and dances.

On both sides of the hall, civil and military officials sat with them, and their seats knelt on the ground.

Li Shimin was used to eating the delicacies in the village, how could Li Shimin still eat the cooked food before.

So, all the seasonings brought from the village were handed over to the cooks in the back hall, and they made hot pot.

Fortunately, hot pot does not require much technical content, and the cook is also smart. He directly boiled the hot pot base ingredients given by Su Feng, and set it on the tripod to cook.

The whole banquet was full of fragrance.

Before the banquet even started, some people couldn't help drooling.

Su Feng said something that made Li Shimin's heart go.

"Thinking of my descendants of Yan and Huang, who have passed on for thousands of years, it is a disgrace to us that all the seats are empty!"

Nowadays, taking out hot pot is regarded as orthodox Chinese food, and it is very face-saving when it is served.

Especially when Li Shimin didn't move, civil and military officials didn't know how to eat, and they didn't dare to move their chopsticks. Those Tubo envoys were all in a hurry but confused, which made Li Shimin feel happy!

Only one person stood still, quietly watching the singing and dancing in front of him.

Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Why doesn't Lu envoy eat?"

Lu Dongzan said calmly, "The emissary came from afar, but he is a guest. According to the customs of the Tang Dynasty, if the host does not move, how dare the guest hold up the chopsticks?"

"interesting!"

Li Shimin smiled, picked up the meat and put it in a pot to scald it, then dipped it in the seasoning and stuffed it into his mouth.

Civil and military officials followed Li Shimin's example and began to move their chopsticks, and Lu Dongzan followed suit.

Soon, the faces of many ministers changed.

Some officials who don’t like spicy food are okay, just resisting the discomfort, but for these Tibetans, although this way of eating is not enjoyable, it tastes good!

Lu Dongzan couldn't help admiring, "The Tang Dynasty is really outstanding, even this kind of food can be figured out."

He closed his eyes and looked enjoying, Li Shimin just felt like laughing.

None of the things that Su Feng dealt with is useless, even the hot pot that seems to be just a pastime can open the eyes of these Tubo people!
As for those Tibetans who didn't know how to eat, and even took the hot pot soup as soup, and stuffed raw meat into their mouths with their hands, they all blushed and looked very embarrassed.

Li Shimin did not apologize at all. He asked casually, "Are you coming to Datang this time to make amends or to apologize?"

Lu Dongzan put down his chopsticks, straightened his chest and looked at Li Shimin.

"I came here this time to apologize to King Tang at the order of my king."

"Apologise?" Li Shimin smiled playfully, "If it's an apology, how sincere are you? I've never heard that you came here with an apology."

It is said to be an apology, but in fact it is a gift to express apology. At least the people who were robbed must be returned to the Tang Dynasty, and the looted materials must be returned to their original owners. As for compensation, the little Tubo must also return it to the Tang Dynasty. There is really nothing to compensate for.

Lu Dongzan smiled slightly, "The little envoy doesn't quite understand what the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said!"

"Then I'll tell you, since it's an apology, the people plundered by Tubo and the goods stolen should be returned to the original owners! Also, since it's an apology, isn't there any compensation? You just open your mouth, even Are you apologizing?" Li Shimin was slightly angry.

"King Tang misunderstood."

Lu Dongzan hurriedly said, "Whether it is the people of Datang or the goods, it is difficult to say the specific amount with just one mouth. Instead of bargaining between Datang and Tubo, why can't we pretend that nothing happened before, and that Datang and Tubo Wouldn't you be happy to rebuild Tubo?"

Li Shimin clenched his fists, trembling slightly!
"So, Tubo intends to let the previous matter be settled?"

Lu Dongzan quickly stood up and held his hands.

"His Majesty the King of Tang misunderstood me. My king sent me here with sincerity. For this reason, he specially asked the envoy that he was willing to marry Datang and marry a princess of Datang, expressing his friendship with Datang. Fix your mind."

At that moment, someone slapped the table with a slap!

"So, not only does Tubo not intend to return the goods and people who seized the Great Tang before, but also brazenly plans to make peace with my Great Tang? How unreasonable!"

It was Cheng Yaojin who spoke!

In the past, someone might have jumped out and pointed at him for not knowing the seriousness, and made a fuss in the courtroom, but today, everyone bowed their heads in unison, without saying a word!

For the scene in front of him, as long as he is a Tang person, he will feel angry from the bottom of his heart.

This is naturally understandable, so that even Li Shimin stopped talking, and quietly looked at the hot pot that was bubbling with water mist!
Lu Dongzan didn't have any expression of shame on his face, he said frankly, "Isn't being married to Datang, can't it be regarded as repairing with Datang? My king is the king of a country, and taking a princess from Datang is not considered sincerity." Why? Why do you keep staring at those people and supplies?"

"Fuck your motherfucker!"

Cheng Yaojin cursed!
"The king of a small country who wants to marry my princess of the Tang Dynasty is enough to go from the Qilin Palace to the Xuanwu Gate. What kind of thing are you Tubo? You don't have any sincerity in your apology, and you have the audacity to want my princess from the Tang Dynasty to marry you , It's just a fool's dream!"

"Knowledge!"

Li Shimin scolded, but there was not much sense of reproach in his expression.

Lu Dongzan laughed out loud.

"From what I've seen, it's not!"

He walked to the middle and looked down on all civil and military officials, "As far as I know, the Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, but unfortunately, the coastal Japanese kingdoms are constantly invading the border, and the northward Goguryeo is also eyeing, and the Eastern Turks are ready to open their fangs at any time! The kingdom of the heavens, the kingdoms of the kingdoms have surrendered, but they have already surrounded by wolves, and if they are not careful, they will be in danger of being swallowed up!"

The officials were angry and silent, even Cheng Yaojin couldn't say one, two, three!
Lu Dongzan smiled and said, "Once Tubo and Datang reconcile, this is a warning to other countries. Once they act rashly, Datang can mobilize more troops to attack, right? Woolen cloth?"

When he said this, he turned around and looked at Li Shimin, "So according to what the little envoy sees, the Tang and Tubo will benefit from harmony, and the snipe and clam will fight against each other if they divide. I wonder if the king of Tang thinks so?"

Li Shimin blushed at first, trying his best to suppress his temper.

Now his mind is full of soldiers and horses to attack Tubo!

'Attack Tubo? '

Suddenly, Li Shimin was stunned!

If it is said that before, Datang was a little aggrieved, and even had to bear the humiliation, but now, they have Su Feng!

Potatoes and hybrid rice spread out, and grain and grass can be hoarded in less than a year or two.

The weapon of firecrackers couldn't be more convenient to deal with Tubo's bows and arrows.

Li Shimin's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, attacking Tubo... seems to be feasible!
