Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

"Oh... a gift, right?" King Chu, the bully from the northwest, nodded thoughtfully after hearing Yosuha's flattery. "In that case, then tell me, what gift do you plan to present?"

“This…” Elder Yosuha was stunned upon hearing this. After a long while, he spoke awkwardly, “Your Highness, regarding these… aren’t they all written in the letter we submitted…”

"I... um... I want you to say it yourself!" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu still likes to put pressure on others.

"Your Highness the King of Chu..." Great Elder Yosuha was also filled with hatred. If it weren't for the disastrous defeat in the previous Battle of Jinshan, with his status, there would be no need for him to come to Chang'an in person.

In fact, the reason why Lu Dongzan came to Chang'an this time was similar to that of Elder Yosuha, both of them were personally paying for the previous failures.

But the difference is that now the Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo still values ​​Lu Dongzan, but the Tuyuhun Khan Fuyun Khan no longer trusts Yosuha so much.

"What are you chattering about?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu looked at Great Elder Yosuha, who was hesitant and unable to utter a word for a long time. He always felt that the other party must be up to something.

And Yosuha's next words undoubtedly proved his guess.

"Your Highness, Prince Chu..." Elder Yosuha pondered for a long time before finally speaking carefully, "My Khan's Princess Duojie was born with a strange fragrance all over her body..."

"Stop..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was very embarrassed now, because when he was praising his grandfather, he said that the old man was born with a fragrance in his house: "This is not important, just pick the key points!"

"Your Highness, I'm talking about the main point!" Elder Yosuha was also anxious when he heard this: "What I mean is that Princess Duojie is like an elf on the snowy mountains of the grassland. She is born noble and is a perfect match for you!"

“Wow…” His Highness the Prince of Chu had never expected that even though he had kept himself clean like this, he still couldn’t escape: “What do you mean by perfect match?! To put it bluntly, your princess is greedy for my body, it’s really… Don’t do this again next time!”

"Your Highness, do you agree to this?" Elder Yosuha has now become accustomed to the other party's neurosis.

"Ask my father about this!" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu threw the blame on his incompetent father, but he was very curious about what kind of fragrance he was born with...

"Your Highness, what about the tribute gift list?" - This is what Elder Yosuha is most worried about now.

"The Tang Dynasty can give you silk." Li Kuan knew that the Tang Dynasty would have to be more generous in name for the first time, but being generous does not mean giving for free: "But you should also prepare some practical things for the Tang Dynasty, such as cattle, sheep, horses, etc. Do you have any objection to this?"

"Your Highness, these are all easy to discuss, but the price..." Because he had been rejected once before by Tang Jian, Elder Yosuha was mentally prepared at this time - if Tuyuhun wanted to be treated the same as those small countries in the Western Regions, then forget it.

"You can talk to my Uncle Du later." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu pointed at Du Ruhui beside him. He didn't believe that Du Ruhui really just came here to be a supervisor on the order of that tyrant. He probably already knew the scale and location of the negotiation.

"Your Highness is really smart." Du Ruhui couldn't help but laugh when he saw that His Highness the King of Chu put himself on the stage at this time.

"Hey..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu sneered when he heard this: "Uncle Du, I'm telling you, I'll still beat Fang Yiai up when I get back."

"He is not my son..." Du Ruhui felt that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was too difficult to deal with.

"So you feel sorry for Uncle Fang." His Royal Highness the King of Chu crossed his arms and said, "Next time, if it's Uncle Fang who provokes me, it won't be too late for me to beat Du He."

"..." This time, it wasn't just Du Ruhui who was speechless. The envoys from several countries present were finally enlightened today: It turned out that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was such a reckless person in his own country...

The subsequent negotiations went relatively smoothly thanks to Yosuha's opening demonstration.

The young master of Xueyantuo, Duo Ni, and the new chief of Tocharian, Qiu Lishi, were both very sensible. Knowing that His Royal Highness the King of Chu liked BMWs, they each presented thirty Ferghana horses.

"Hmm..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu glanced at Du Ruhui beside him, then pretended to be serious and said: "You all have a heart... These thirty BMWs——"

"Your Highness... we each offer tribute..." The Xueyantuo young master Duo Ni seemed to be born with a stupid brain.

"..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu took a deep look at the other party, then waved his hand: "Okay, okay... Go find Uncle Du to sign the seal..."

“Your Highness…” Du Ruhui felt like he was almost like an unscrupulous accountant who was responsible for collecting debts owed by others: “This is called submitting a gift list…” Isn’t it just that the young master of Xueyantuo doesn’t know how to deal with things… Why do you have to put on such a face?

"Who's next?!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who had lost thirty Ferghana horses, was in a bad mood at the moment: "Hurry up! My patience is limited!"

"Your Highness, the Prince of Chu," at this moment, the envoy of the Western Turkic Khan Siyehu stood up. In front of everyone, he first bowed to Li Kuan, then stood up again and said with a sad expression: "Your Highness, the merciful Prince of Chu... I, the foreign minister Ashina Nishu, request that Your Highness, the Prince of Chu, on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, uphold justice for our Khan and hold accountable Yibi Shekui, who plotted to usurp the throne!"

"Your Highness, the King of Chu!" On the other side, the envoy Ashina Nihe sent by Yibi Shekui hurried out of his post and knelt on the ground upon seeing this: "Your Highness, the wise King of Chu! I, the foreign minister Ashina Nihe, beg you not to listen to this man's slander. Now the Western Turks are thriving under the governance of my Khan. How can that mediocre and incompetent Khan Siyehu be compared to them!"

"..." After listening to Ashina Nihe's remarks, the Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan and the Tuyuhun Elder exchanged glances: The two khans of Western Turkic...actually joined forces? !

But this method of sowing discord is a bit too crude...

"Your Highness the King of Chu..." Du Ruhui's face immediately darkened after listening to the remarks of the two envoys. After glancing at Ashina Nishu who was kneeling on the ground, he was ready to remind Li Kuan not to be fooled.

Although Ashina Nishu is playing the role of a miserable victim, his status... is not low! And Ashina Mihe looks like a brainless and reckless man, but is that really the case? !

The most crucial information in the conversation between the two people just now... is actually just one point - requesting His Royal Highness the King of Chu to represent the Tang Dynasty!

Can His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu represent the Tang Dynasty?

It might be okay in private, but in a formal diplomatic occasion like this, this is tantamount to crossing the line.

Of course, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu...he might have already gotten used to this kind of thing.

But if this continues...it won't be a good thing after all.
