Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Hearing the sound, everyone in the hall looked outside the door.

Li Shen was seen wearing a purple royal robe, holding a fan in his right hand, a white glove in his left hand, and a string of beads in his hand. He walked in with a step that showed he didn't recognize any relatives.

This string of beads is made of genuine sandalwood and is very valuable.

When Li Shimin saw Li Shen accompanying him, he immediately became angry. Although this is not the court, you can't act like a dandy.

At least you have to dress up and behave appropriately.

Looking at Li Shen again, he was emitting a relaxed aura, which really made Li Shimin angry.

"Asshole, I've been waiting for you for half an hour. How can you achieve great things in the future if you are so careless in doing things?"

Li Shimin's angry rebuke scared Li Shen. After he said that, he had been looking at Lu Dongzan since he came in.

But he didn't expect that his father would shout at him as soon as he came up, which scared him.

"Well, calm down, Master. When Steward Wang found me, I was training. In order to meet you politely and not lose my manners,

My son came back after taking a shower and changing clothes.

Please forgive me for keeping you waiting for so long."

Li Shen quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"Stand aside." Li Shimin did not continue to teach Li Shen a lesson, but waved his hand.

"Prime Minister of Tibet, our Tang Dynasty has always had exchanges with Tibet, and the two countries have always been on good terms.

It was you, Tubo, who proposed the idea of ​​mutual trade.

But I never expected that you Tubo would be so treacherous and play the trick of repairing the plank road in the open while secretly marching through Chencang.

While attacking my important city in Qinghai, they also sent people to raid hundreds of miles away to kill me, hoping to kill two birds with one stone.

Do you really think that the Tang Dynasty dare not send troops to Tibet?"

Li Shimin, who was sitting at the top, looked at Lu Dongzan with a gloomy face.

His assassination was tantamount to the beginning of a war, and the two countries broke apart, only to meet each other on the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, please calm down and allow me to explain. Our Zamp has always been loyal to the Tang Kingdom and wants to maintain a lasting friendship with the Tang Kingdom.

Our Zamp was really unaware of this matter. It was all the fault of the Western Turks. Their Khan Yipi Duolu was very ambitious.

Now in the Western Regions, the great powers such as Persia, the Arabs, and Byzantium are attacking each other, and war is breaking out everywhere.

Yipi Duolu also wanted to expand his territory.

Because the Tang Dynasty conquered the Tiele tribes in the north and did not give the Western Turks any chance, they came to our Zamp and wanted to join forces to attack the Tang Dynasty.

Our Zamp directly refused and could not do anything treacherous.

That is why the Western Turks secretly instigated several tribal leaders to send troops to attack His Majesty the Heavenly Khan.

And they sent troops to attack important cities in Qinghai.

If successful, they would not have to go through the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty and could enter the Tang Dynasty directly from Tubo.

We think this is really a misunderstanding.”

Lu Dongzan explained to Li Shimin earnestly that there was no other way, as the Tang Dynasty was now strong in both military and military power and dominated the world.

There are really not many who can rival the Tang Dynasty.

If the Western Turks were not afraid of the Tang Dynasty, why would they unite with Tibet?

"Misunderstanding? Your prince named Gongri Gongzan was involved in the attack on Your Majesty, and now you say it's a misunderstanding?"

Duke Yi of Qin Qiong spoke.

“Your Majesty, the Khan, our prince was also deceived by the Western Turks. Because of his young age, he mistakenly believed in the slander.

I hope Your Majesty will spare our prince for the sake of our friendship.

Our Zanpu has only this one son. Now, upon hearing that he has committed a serious mistake, he cannot sleep at night and has no appetite.

She was sad all day long, missing her beloved son.

The Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette and propriety in the world. Please, Your Majesty, show mercy and release the prince so that he can go back and be filial to his parents.

Our Zanpu will definitely discipline him strictly and will never allow him to do it again."

Lu Dongzan looked at Li Shimin, his tone full of requests.

"Cut~~~"

Just as everyone was looking at how Li Shimin would answer, Li Shen on the side made a voice.

"Why are you cutting? Just say it if you have something to say." Li Shimin scolded angrily.

After hearing this, Li Shen stood up respectfully and said:

"Your Highness, I was just sneering at what the Tibetan Prime Minister just said."

"Your Highness Prince Ji, what does this mean?" When Lu Dongzan saw Li Shen coming, he knew that something bad was going to happen.

This seemingly extremely dissolute little prince had ruined their plans several times.

He also didn't understand why the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty trusted this young prince so much.

"What do you mean? You know that I am the Grand Protector of this important city, right?" Li Shen smiled contemptuously.

"So what?" Lu Dongzan asked with some confusion.

“I know the things here better than anyone else. This is not the misunderstanding your little prince said when he came here.

He swore solemnly that it was your Zanpu who asked him to come."

Li Shen raised his eyebrows deliberately as he spoke.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, our prince was also bewitched, so he said this. He is young and ignorant, and he is just talking nonsense."

Lu Dongzan argued cunningly.

"That's just your one-sided statement. It has nothing to do with us. We only know that you sent troops to attack our city.

Your prince led his men to attack our Emperor.

This is the fact, so war between the two countries is inevitable.

I won't let it go just because of a few words from you.

I advise you to go back and discuss countermeasures with your Zamp.

Don’t wait until our Tang cavalry arrives at your city of Lhasa and attacks your Potala Palace, and then you say that our Tang is rude and didn’t tell you in advance.”

Major powers all pay attention to legitimacy. It is basic operation for them to fight against each other, and it is common for them to be thick-skinned and throw dirty water on each other.

Li Shen doesn't understand politics, doesn't like beating around the bush, and is straightforward.

He is not like those ministers in the court who only consider the pros and cons.

However, after he said this, Li Shimin nodded. Sometimes you need a troublemaker like Li Shen.

He can play the villain, and no matter whether the imperial court really attacks Tubo in the end, he will definitely maximize the benefits.

Sure enough, Lu Dongzan's face looked a little ugly after hearing Li Shen's words. Lhasa was the capital of Tubo, and the Potala was also the imperial palace.

Li Shen's words were full of disrespect and contempt for Tubo.

"Does Your Highness Prince Ji really want to go to war? Then the innocent people and soldiers will suffer.

This time, the foreign ministers have come with the sincerity of our Tubo Zamp, and we hope that His Majesty the Khan of the Tang Dynasty can accept our sincerity.

We Tibetans are a race that does not like fighting, we want peace.

Our Zamp does not want to see the loss of lives due to war.

Tubo is willing to apologize for this incident and give a certain amount of compensation."

Lu Dongzan bowed to Li Shimin again.

In the end, Li Shimin had the final say on whether he agreed or not, and other people were not important.

Li Shen interrupted Li Shimin without waiting for him to speak:

"Compensation? Then let me hear it. Are you prepared to cede land and pay compensation, or to give up your martial arts?"
