After washing up, Li Shen followed Wang De to the palace and told Lu Dingniang to pack her things and prepare to move back to the palace.

When Li Shen walked into the Tai Chi Hall, he was like a righteous man who sacrificed his life generously, with a fearless spirit.

"My son, see Aye. I haven't seen you for a long time. Aye's style is still the same. Look..."

"Shut up. Stand back and wait."

Before Li Shen had finished flattering him, Li Shimin's majestic voice rang out.

"Yes."

When Li Shen heard Li Shimin's tone, he knew that he couldn't be kind today.

Obediently walked to the door and waited.

The courtiers began to discuss decisions and report on the memorials submitted from various places, while Li Shen leaned against the door and watched boredly.

Li Shimin would occasionally glance over, frightening Li Shen to the core.

"It is said that the Tibetan envoys are here to see you~~~" Wang De shouted loudly,

The Tibetan envoy who was waiting outside came in, and Sangyang Dunie glanced at Li Shen when he passed by.

"Foreign ministers are here to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Sangyang Dunie brought the envoy to salute Li Shimin.

"Excuse me. I don't know how your Zanpu responded." Li Shimin asked majestically.

"To report to His Majesty the Emperor, we Zanpu agree to withdraw from the land of Tuyuhun.

But Qinghai belongs to our country of Tubo, not Tuyuhun, and Chiling is an important pass into our country of Tubo.

We won't let it go out, but it can be used as a place for tea and horse trading. "Sangyang Dunie replied respectfully.

"Your Majesty, since Tubo has shown its sincerity by willing to withdraw from Tuyuhun, I think we should agree to mutual trade." Shi Cui Renzhi, the imperial censor, stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, I also think so. Tubo is very sincere. We, the Tang Dynasty, are a big country in heaven and we should not embarrass the smaller countries around us.

Since they are willing to return the land of Tuyuhun, I think I might as well agree. "Zheng Jingsi agreed.

"I also think we should agree. This will help us to have good relations with the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, and the border will be less affected by the war."

"I also agree to liberalize mutual trade."

"My minister agrees."

For a time, no matter whether it was the five surnames, Qi Wang, or the eight families, they all stood up to express their approval of the matter.

Li Shimin looked at the people below and couldn't help but smile sarcastically.

Li Shimin knew the purpose of this group of people.

Aristocratic families have always had a relationship with Tubo. They not only sell normal goods such as tea, wine, silk, porcelain, etc.,

They also sell contraband, iron, and weapons.

They smuggle countless goods every year.

In recent years, their transactions have decreased due to the suppression by Li Shen Chamber of Commerce.

"Auxiliary machine, what do you think?"

The first person Li Shimin asked was Changsun Wuji.

"Your Majesty, it is possible to open a mutual market, but... I think it would be better to ask His Highness Prince Ji about this matter."

What this old fox actually wants to say is that it has not achieved the expected results, and the benefits are somewhat limited.

But how can a prime minister say such market talk?

"Fang Gong, what do you think?" Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling again.

"Your Majesty, I feel that since it was King Ji who came up with the idea before, it would be better to listen to King Ji's opinion." Fang Xuanling also passed the blame to Li Shen.

It's better to have professionals do this kind of work.

"King Ji, come forward." Li Shimin shouted.

"Yes, Aye." Li Shen stepped forward.

"What do you think of what the Tibetan envoy just said?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Aye, I feel that they have no sincerity at all. Since there is no sincerity, it doesn't matter whether this mutual market is opened or not.

Moreover, more manpower must be deployed to patrol the border to prevent unscrupulous businessmen from putting themselves at risk for the sake of profit. "Li Shen's face straightened and he answered seriously.

"Your Highness King Ji, how can we, Tubo, be so insincere? We, Zampu, have agreed to withdraw from Tuyuhun." Sangyang Dunie argued.

"That's just the first step. This Tuyuhun was originally defeated by me in the Tang Dynasty.

It is only natural for you to withdraw. We did not send troops to expel you.

It has been shown that the Tang Dynasty is a country of benevolence and righteousness.

You didn't capture this Tuyuhun. You don't think that returning our things to us is considered sincerity. "

Li Shen was sharp-tongued and didn't give Sangyang Dune any chance.

Many ministers nodded, especially Hou Junji.

Now Hou Junji Qifu is the minister of the Ministry of War, and he defeated Tuyuhun back then.

“His Royal Highness King Ji, this time we from Tubo came with sincerity, and we hope that Tibet and the Tang Dynasty can always live in peace.

We have made great efforts to free the people on the border from the suffering of war.

Why doesn't His Highness Prince Ji think about the people at the border? "Sangyang Dunye said with a frown.

This King Ji is here to disrupt the situation again. Some time ago, he heard that Li Shen committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake.

He was extremely happy at that time. Later, he was disappointed when he said that King Ji was fine.

"Suffering from war? Are you sure you want to start a war with me, the Tang Dynasty? Sangyang Dune, it's not that I look down on you.

Although you are an ambassador, you do not yet have the ability to decide anything. Li Shen said disdainfully.

"You...Your Majesty the Emperor, did your country deliberately let King Ji come to humiliate me, Tubo?

Is His Majesty the Emperor planning to let King Ji make the decision on such an important matter? "

Sangyang Dunie couldn't defeat Li Shen, so he turned to Li Shimin and saluted.

"Yes, Your Majesty, opening up trade to each other is a national policy. King Ji has no real power and is not in the court. I feel that King Ji is still a bit young." Cui Renzhi stood up and said.

This mutual market is very important to their family.

And Tubo also gave them enough benefits.

"No matter what the Deputy Prime Minister said, the final decision is of course my Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

However, King Ji has always been extremely intelligent and has unique insights into many things.

Your Majesty just wants to listen to Prince Ji's opinion and give Prince Ji a test. "Fang Xuanling stood up and explained.

"Foreign minister, please give me your Majesty's advice. Does Your Majesty agree with the mutual trade this time?" Sangyang Dunie asked directly.

Their Prime Minister said that mutual trading is not necessary for Datang, but it will probably be opened.

There is no loss if you don’t open it, but you can make money if you open it.

"Sangyang Donne, just tell me the bottom line that Zamp gave you.

It's impossible for you to open a mutual market so easily. Even if the court agrees, I will try my best to mess with him.

Don't forget, there were bandits once in Tubo. "

Li Shen's face was calm, but his tone was full of teasing.

"This is already the bottom line of my Zamp. This time our Zamp wants to have good relations with Datang with great sincerity.

Otherwise, some tribes will not listen to the warning and harass the borders of the Tang Dynasty.

I, Zamp, have no reason to stop it, right? "

Sangyang Donne did not flinch at all. It is obvious that if you do not open a mutual market, I, Tibet, will harass your borders.
