Tang Jian had already made it very clear, Du Shaoqing couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing: "Duke Ju wants to play the role of a villain? I don't know how the national power of Western Turks is? Can you scare them?"

Du Shaoqing said so bluntly, Tang Jian blushed, and then laughed, "Knowing that the son-in-law is not a rigid person, this old man just said it bluntly.

Western Turkic is a big northern country that can compete with Eastern Turkic in those days. Its military strength is slightly stronger than that of Tubo, and it is the most in the surrounding countries. However, the Great Tang has the prestige of destroying the country. .

But there is one thing to say before, this matter is Tang Mou's private decision to find a son-in-law, and he has not reported it to His Majesty. "

"It's okay, I'm the young minister of Honglu Temple, and I'm doing my best for the country. If your Majesty asks, I'll take care of everything. If we men from the Tang Dynasty can't even protect our own daughters, I'll take care of you." What's the use of waiting?" Du Shaoqing stood up and said loudly.

Tang Jian patted Du Shaoqing's shoulder with a smile and said: "The old man is not here to shirk responsibility. Your Majesty and other veterans in the court and I, the Honglu Temple Secretary, are in charge. You just need to feel at ease and refuse people from the West Turks. What do you need?" Support, just come."

The two made a plan at Du's house. Du Shaoqing then brought Xue Rengui and Tang Jian to Honglu Temple, changed into formal clothes, and Xue Rengui became a soldier guard.

Then Tang Jian took the two of them to the place where the Western Turkic envoy stayed. It is worth mentioning that Du Shaoqing was dressed in official attire but was equipped with a high-quality horizontal knife, which was given by his father-in-law, Li Erqin. He fought against Goguryeo in Hebei Province.

The envoy of the Western Turks is now Yipidulu Khan's close minister Chumi. The Western Turks encountered civil strife and split in the eighth year of Zhenguan. It was only last year that Yipidulu truly unified the Western Turks. The situation is not stable, so I want to take advantage of it. This opportunity to show kindness to Datang was exchanged for the support of this big country, so he sent a confidant minister Chumi.

Chu Mi was very concerned. He originally wanted to enter the city early, and then submit the letter of credence to the Tang Dynasty to ask the emperor to talk about marriage proposals. Unexpectedly, after settling down, he could not find the chief official of Honglu Temple, so he could only wait. .

To his surprise, Tang Jian, the chief official of Honglu Temple, came to the door on his own initiative, so Chu smiled secretly and welcomed Tang Jian, Du Shaoqing and others in.

"Your envoy, this is Du Shaoqing, the young minister of Honglu Temple. He is the first son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty and a celebrity in front of His Majesty." Tang Jian introduced.

When Chu Mi heard it, he was still a relative of the emperor, so he didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly greeted him again, Du Shao said with a clear heart, this prairie man is not arrogant at all, he is quite humble.

"I don't know why your envoy came to our Tang Dynasty this time. Let me know today, so I can reply to His Majesty." Tang Jian asked.

The envoy Chu Mi waved his hand to signal for someone to bring the letter of credence, and handed it to Tang Jian: "I heard that the Tang Dynasty won a great victory in the Tubo war, and my lord specially ordered us to bring gifts to congratulate the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, my lord has just ascended the throne, and there is still a shortage of queens, so there is one more thing, that is, I want to come here and ask the Tang Dynasty to send a princess to be our queen. In the whole world, only the noble princess of the Tang Dynasty is qualified to be our queen , we all brought the bride price. "

Tang Jian was about to reach out to receive the letter of credence, when Du Shaoqing, who was sitting next to him, frowned, and interrupted: "What's the purpose of your envoy here? I didn't hear clearly, can you say it again?"

Du Shaoqing's eyes were slightly closed, his face was full of disdain, and he even picked out his ears with his little finger. His attitude was very different from the usual humility. Those who didn't know thought that this was not a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty, but a rich man in Chang'an.

The Western Turkic envoy was stunned for a moment, and looked at Tang Jian with some puzzlement. Tang Jian's hand that received the letter of credence also froze in the air. Envoy of Western Turks.

The Chu Mi envoy was puzzled and said: "Xu Shi didn't make it clear that we are here to congratulate the Great Tang Dynasty on its victory over the country, and we also want to marry a noble princess and go back to be the queen."

Um?Du Shaoqing's eyes suddenly opened, and he shouted angrily, how daring!He untied the treasured sword from his waist.

Chapter 320 Why didn't you say it earlier?

Du Shaoqing broke out suddenly, and the atmosphere in the field immediately became tense. Tang Jian hurriedly stood up and stopped Du Shaoqing, "No, please stay calm."

The Western Turkic envoys are already confused, what's going on?Are you not a diplomat?Why do you want to move the knife all of a sudden?Besides, as an official, do you bring a knife out to scare people?

"Tang Zhengqing, what is Du Shaoqing's intention? But where did I offend?" Chu Mi asked puzzledly, standing up and backing away at the same time, the western Turkic guards outside the door also poured in to protect both sides.

"Don't do it, don't do it, look at the face of the old man, everyone calm down for a while, your envoy, take a step to speak."

Tang Jian pulled Chu Mi into the corner of the room and started talking in a low voice.

"Your envoy, I'm afraid it's the first time I've come to Chang'an, so I don't know the name of Prince Consort Du, so don't mess with him." Tang Jian persuaded.

"How do you say that? We came here sincerely and didn't intend to offend him."

"Does your envoy know about Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan?" Tang Jian asked.

"Well, a great figure who assists Songtsan Gampo, the leader of Tubo in Southwest China, to rule the country." Chu Mi nodded.

Tang Jianxin said, it's good to know, and then sighed: "Does your envoy know how Lu Dongzan died?"

Then I asked Chu Mi, who lived in the northwest grassland for a long time, and the news was still relatively closed. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. Could it be that he died in battle when Tubo was subjugated?"

"Hey, where is the glory of dying in battle? He was poisoned to death by this concubine Du with a glass of poisoned wine in the street. The death condition is not to mention how miserable it is."

What? ? ?Why?

The Western Turkic envoy exclaimed, and Tang Jian hurriedly covered his mouth, "Shut up! I'm afraid you don't know. It's not for anything else, just because Lu Dongzan brought someone to the Tang Dynasty to ask for marriage, saying that he wanted to marry the princess, Du Concubine I hated marrying the princess the most in my life, so I poisoned Lu Dongzan to death in a fit of anger."

Here

"Could it be that Tang turned a blind eye to such evil things? How could this Concubine Du do it openly?" Chu Mi questioned.

Tang Jian patted the other party's shoulder lightly and said: "Yes, everyone has seen it, but he is still standing here, sitting firmly in the seat of the first celebrity, which shows how honored His Majesty is. , so I would like to advise your envoy, don't mess with this person.

Also, don't mention the matter of begging the princess, this is really a god of killing, last year Hebei battle against Goguryeo, a figure who rode alone in the army, and the Tang Dynasty warrior is no more than that. "

Tang Jian, an old man, was also cunning enough. He exaggerated Du Shaoqing's record and said that he was about to become the number one god of war in the world, just to frighten the Western Turkic envoy.

The secret envoy from the Western Turkic Office was a little confused. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't find a suitable word. Don's life is in danger?Didn't it mean that the two countries will not be beheaded if they are at war?

Knowing everything, Tang Jian returned to his seat with the secret envoy, and persuaded Du Shaoqing: "My son-in-law, this is Honglu Temple, and there are many foreign guests living there. We must not be rude. It is a battlefield thing to use a sword."

"Old man, are you teaching me how to do things?" Du Shaoqing said disdainfully, and choked Tang Jian with one sentence, "I rarely come to Honglu Temple on weekdays, I really don't know that Honglu Temple is so soft under your leadership, Looks like it's time to tell my emperor's father-in-law to take you down and replace him with someone capable."

In front of the Western Turkic envoys, Tang Jian was so bullied by a junior, not to mention how embarrassing, but this is the plan of the two, infinitely exaggerating the degree of Du Shaoqing's favor, and letting all the envoys know that in Datang In Chang'an City, there is such a privileged person who can stand aloof from things.

"Ahem, son-in-law be careful, don't let people see the joke." Tang Jian said humbly.

Du Shaoqing turned his head to look at the envoy Chu Mi disdainfully, and said coldly: "Joke? Are you talking about him? Or the envoys of other small countries outside? Ask him if he dares to mock this son-in-law? Or does he dare to mock the big Don?

That barbarian, I warn you, be sincere when you come to pay tribute and pay homage, and if you dare to mention the word "marriage", you don't have to go back. "

A general behind Chu Mi couldn't help but stood up and shouted angrily: "I'm sincerely here to marry the princess, why is Datang so oppressive? Could it be that he is bullying me, who has no warriors in Western Turks?"

"Warrior? Compete with me as a warrior? Rengui!" Du Shaoqing called Xue Rengui's name, and Xue Rengui stood up in response, with the horizontal knife at his waist unsheathed instantly.

Tang Jian was shocked, and quickly stood in the middle to stop him, "Restraint, ten thousand restraint, your envoy, hurry up and stop your people, don't fight."

Don't mention how aggrieved the secret envoy was, he said in his heart that this was my first mission to another country. Didn't I hear that the treatment was very good?How could this be so?Could it be that the veterans in the tent of the Western Turkic King are lying to themselves?Everyone was wronged outside, and they went back to pretend to be fat?

Stretching out his hand to stop his own general, Chu Mi said forcefully: "My son-in-law is so tough, we and other outsiders dare not confront him head-on, but courting is the top priority of our Khan, and my subordinates dare not do our best.

Regardless of whether Datang agrees or not, he should make a decision after meeting His Majesty in the future, there is no reason to retreat now. "

Du Shaoqing was furious: "If you don't change your mind, you will die!"

After speaking, he drew his knife and slashed towards Chumi, the other general hurriedly stood up, and other guards also stood up to participate in the fight. There were more than a dozen people, and Xue Rengui took all of them with a horizontal knife.

Tang Jian hugged the Chu secret envoy tightly, and persuaded loudly: "No, run away, Du's son-in-law is useless to kill people. The deputy envoy of Tubo said something for Lu Dongzan in the Taiji Hall, threatening Tang with war. He was killed by Concubine Du in public in the hall."

What? ? ?The secret envoy is already in a daze, what's going on?You didn't say this just now, is this still a human being?He is really the emperor's son-in-law, not the emperor's own son?

Du Shaoqing held up the horizontal knife and shouted at Tang Jian: "Old man Tang, get out of the way quickly, why are you protecting a barbarian from another country? Let me chop it up and see who dares to propose to Tang Jian, our daughter Is it something they can covet? A bunch of barbarians are also worthy?"

Tang Jian turned around and hugged Du Shaoqing, and shouted: "My son-in-law, be merciful. We killed Lu Dongzan and his party. We had no choice but to send troops to destroy Tubo, which has been a friend and neighbor for many years. Do you still want to destroy this close neighbor of Western Turks?" Drop? Doesn’t this make people say that we, Datang, are bullying our neighbors?”
