Shang Nang thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but praised excitedly.

"Who would have thought that the teahouses set up by the King of Jin in the downtown areas of Chang'an City, which were specially supplied to the powerful families of the Tang Dynasty, would be the place where King Jin's secret agents are located. This His Royal Highness King Jin is really wise. Say, there are no more secrets."

As he said that, Shang Nang told his confidantes: "I'll go to Jinwang Teahouse early tomorrow morning!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

……

The next day.

As soon as Chen Shi arrived, Shang Nang brought his two confidants to the teahouse in Dongshi.

Soon, Li Xuan, who had just woken up, received the news that the Tubo old hozen had brought his confidant to Dongshi teahouse for tea early in the morning.

After pondering for a while, Li Xuan took Zheng Fu and a few personal guards and sat in an ordinary carriage to Chang'an City.

There were no signs on the car, and Li Xuan and the others were all dressed in very ordinary clothes.

In addition, Li Xuan, Zheng Fu and others applied a little makeup on their faces. Anyone who was not familiar with Li Xuan would think that Li Xuan, Zheng Fu and others were just a group of simple merchants when they saw Li Xuan.

Even Shang Nang was taken aback when he saw Li Xuan sitting directly in front of him.

The expressions of the two confidantes on the side changed, and they directly protected Shang Nang's left and right sides.

"Why, Prime Minister Shang doesn't know me anymore?"

Li Xuan smiled lightly.

As early as after Shang Nang sat down, the people sitting on the tables around Shang Nang were all from Li Family Village.

Therefore, Li Xuan is not afraid of being heard by outsiders when he speaks like this.

"His Royal Highness King Jin..."

However, Shang Nang was shocked.

After recognizing Li Xuan, he quickly looked up and looked around.

I found out that all the 'tea drinkers' around were talking loudly, as if they didn't hear any sound, so I was relieved.

"I didn't expect that His Royal Highness Jin Wang would come here in person, and still pretend like this, which really surprised the old man!"

"My king's time is limited, and Prime Minister Shang doesn't need to go around in circles with this king. This king came here this time to confirm whether what you said a few days ago is true?"

Li Xuan didn't want to go around in circles with this old hozen, so he asked directly.

Hearing this, Shang Nang's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of astonishment.

"What did His Highness say?"

"Humph!"

Li Xuan snorted coldly, staring at Shang Nang closely, "Are you going around in circles with this king? Or do you think that this king came to look for you because he begged you?"

"It's just a Tubo hozen, I really don't know what it means!"

After finishing speaking, he got up directly and walked outside.

Seeing this, Shang Nang panicked.

He hurriedly got up and chased after him, but seeing so many tea guests around, he didn't dare to make any noise, so he had to follow closely behind Li Xuan.

Li Xuan, on the other hand, got into the carriage directly and asked Zheng Fu to drive back.

This time, Shang Nang really panicked, he didn't expect that the King Jin would be so straightforward, he didn't even give him a chance to explain.

However, this good opportunity is only once for him, if he misses it, not only will he regret it, but even the entire Tubo dignitaries will not forgive him!

Thinking about it, Shang Nang felt ruthless, kicked his feet on the ground, and when Zheng Fu was caught off guard, he quickly got into the carriage.

"Shut up!"

Startled, Zheng Fu stopped the carriage and stared angrily at Shang Bao inside the carriage.

"It's okay, go back to Lijiazhuang!"

Inside the car, Li Xuan glanced lightly at Shang Nang who was kneeling in front of him, and said to Zheng Fu outside the car.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zheng Fu responded, and suddenly understood something, and went directly and quickly to the outside of Chang'an City.

Inside the car, Shang Nang breathed a sigh of relief, but he no longer dared to fight for the initiative, and still knelt on the ground with a respectful face.

"I also ask His Royal Highness Prince Jin to forgive me. The envoy is older and didn't realize what His Highness said just now, but I've figured it out now!"

"Humph!"

Li Xuan sneered, "This king has good intentions to discuss with you, but you put on airs to me. And when this king loses interest, you old hozen actually started to kneel in front of this king again. You're such a scumbag. Could it be you guys?" Are all the Turkic hozens so virtuous?

My Datang treated you calmly, and you began to show off your power, thinking about sending troops to plunder our Datang border all day long, and when my Datang wanted to make a decision to destroy your country, you immediately began to pretend grandson? "

"what?"

Hearing this, Shang Nang's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly raised his head to look at Li Xuan.

"Your Highness King Jin, Tang wants to destroy me, Tubo?"

"Why not destroy it?"

Li Xuan sneered, "Wa and Goguryeo, who dared to launch wars against us without authorization, have already been wiped out by the Tang Dynasty. And the small country of Tubo didn't stay on the plateau honestly, and dared to go down the mountain by itself, yes My Great Tang provoked a war without authorization, how could my Great Tang spare you Tubo?"

……

Chapter 719 The agreement with Tubo is being completed

"But His Royal Highness King Jin, didn't the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ask me to prepare 200 million catties of yak jerky and twenty carts of rare treasures?"

Shang Nang asked quickly.

"Tsk tsk..."

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help mocking.

"This is just an apology for your Tubo envoys to meet with our Tang emperor. Don't you really think that the unauthorized invasion of our Tang border, just such a small thing, can offset your crimes?" offense?"

"Two million catties of yak meat and 200 carts of rare treasures are just atonement for meeting the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"

Immediately, Shang Nang's eyes widened, somewhat unacceptable.

"If you think it's expensive, it happens that the 200 million catties of yak meat and twenty cars of rare treasures haven't come back yet, so you can send someone to return those yak meat and rare treasures quickly!"

Li Xuan said to Shang Nang very sincerely.

"This..." Shang Nang was taken aback.

"It just so happens that Your Majesty has been assassinated by Turkic hozens, and the anger in his heart has not yet been vented. I can persuade His Majesty to go on a personal expedition and wipe out Tubo!" Li Xuan said again.

"His Royal Highness, King Jin, please don't take down the envoy to open the brush. The envoy is sincere in what he proposed to His Highness. The envoy who abandoned the Tubo Kingdom and praises the Tang culture is also very respectful, especially the bravery of His Highness. He is a man of great admiration for abandoning his sect and praising him!"

Shang Nang sneered, and hurriedly said: "As long as His Highness helps Tubo to overcome this difficulty, I, Tubo, will be His Highness's vassal state. Whenever His Highness needs anything, I, Tubo, will help me from all over the country!"

"Can you guarantee for your Tubo king?"

Li Xuan's expression gradually became solemn, staring at Shang Nang and asked slowly.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the envoy is the Prime Minister of Tubo, who is deeply trusted by the abandoned sect Nongzan, and I dare to assure you that as long as the envoy returns to Tubo, he will tell me about the matter of His Highness. I will definitely agree with the envoy's words!"

Shang Nang quickly said: "If His Highness still doesn't trust the envoy, the envoy can write down the letter of credence!"

"credentials?"

Li Xuan was stunned, then looked up and down the bag, and said with disdain: "You are just a prime minister of Tubo, how can you write the letter of credence?"

"Reporting to His Royal Highness King Jin, the envoy is not only the prime minister of Tubo at this time, but also the official envoy of Tubo to the Tang Dynasty!"

Shang Nang hurriedly replied.

"This king actually forgot about this one!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help chuckling, and said directly: "In this way, you will write a letter of credence, as long as the king helps you wait for Tubo to survive this calamity, you wait for Tubo to be my king's subject.

As long as the king orders, you can use the 20 Tubo army at my king's disposal! "

"Thank you, Your Highness King Jin!"

Shang Nang looked overjoyed, "After the envoy returns, he will immediately write down the letter of credence!"

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then told Zheng Fu in front of the car: "When you get to the side of the medical school, stop the car and let Tubo Shangzheng get out of the car!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zheng Fu in front of the car responded quickly.

Inside the city, Li Xuan glanced at Shang Nang again, and said: "I hope that Tubo will not betray your trust and deceive this king! Otherwise, although this king will not be able to kill Tubo, I will certainly be able to kill all your relatives one by one." !"

Shang Nang's body trembled slightly, and he responded again and again: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, my envoys will never dare to deceive His Highness King Jin!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and stopped talking.

However, Shang Nang was still a little curious.

After pondering for a while, he asked again: "May I ask His Royal Highness Prince Jin, what do you want my Tubo army of 20 to do for Your Highness?"

Li Xuan opened his eyes and stared at Shang Nang coldly, until Shang Nang's forehead was sweating, then he looked back and said coldly.

"Don't ask if you shouldn't, what this king has done is naturally an earth-shattering event!"

Now, Shang Nang seemed to understand something, and nodded repeatedly.

"The envoy understands! The envoy understands!"

At the same time, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes, he really saw the Jin Wang right!

It's just that he didn't think about whether the king of Jin wanted to overthrow the Tang Dynasty or Tubo!

In short, even if he was insulted by the King Jin and then left alone at the gate of the medical school, he had to walk back slowly by himself...

This Tubo envoy was still full of joy.

……

Five days later.

Cheng Zhijie, Li Ji and others personally led the army to search the entire Gyeonggi prefecture and counties, and also caught some Turkic hozen hiding in the mountains.

For these Turkic hozens, if they surrender, they will be escorted back, and they will be slaves with Ashina and others.

And if anyone dares to escape, he will be shot with a bow and crossbow!

As for the rich and powerful families of the Tang Dynasty, every one of them knows that because of their poor supervision, each family will be punished by tens of thousands or even more than one hundred thousand!

These aristocratic families don't care much about the money.

Their aristocratic families have already started to have vassal cities, and the annual benefits of those cities are millions, and they don't really care about this little money.

However, all of them were very worried, whether because of this incident, they would not bring them to make a fortune together next time King Jin and that saint had something to do with making money!

As a result, these nobles from aristocratic families not only wrote letters to plead guilty, but even actively punished some of their children and investigated those Turkic thieves sneaking into Chang'an City.

He even sent a large number of family members, along with a large number of healthy servants and village households, into the mountains to search for the Turkic hozens in the mountains.

However, the Turkic Hozen didn't find much. On the contrary, they found a lot of survivors of the former Sui Dynasty and a large number of bandits. They did a great deed for the nearby villagers!

On this day, after the compensation property of the Tubo Mission had just been transported into Chang'an City.

Jin Wang Li Xuanba, carrying a group of trilogy, set up a guard of honor, and entered the city in a mighty and high-profile manner.

Enter from Mingde Gate, follow Zhuque Street to enter Zhuque Gate, and enter the palace!

Inside the Hall of Two Rites.

Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, Li Xuan, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Li Xiaogong and others were sitting on the sofa.

"Your Majesty, I have already met the Tubo envoy, and he has written me a letter of credence!"

Without any fuss, Li Xuan directly handed over to Li Shimin the letter of credence written by the envoy of Tubo.

Li Shimin took the Chinese book, glanced at it, and a sneer flashed in his eyes, and at the same time passed the Chinese book in his hand to Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others.

"Hmph, I didn't expect these Tubo hozens to be so vicious after seeing the majestic power of my Great Tang Master!"

"Your Majesty, it is these hozens who think they are smart, so we can take this opportunity to destroy the Tubo army in one fell swoop, and then destroy the country!"
