Princess Gaoyang rubbed her eyes, turned around and went back to the big bed.
Seeing that the two little princesses were also sleeping soundly, he crawled into the bed again.
Gently hug the little princess.
......
Li Chengqian took Fang Xuanling to the Honglu Temple, but the Tubo delegation had already arrived.
Li Chengqian also told Fang Xuanling what Li Shimin meant.
Fang Xuanling had no objection, as the Tang Dynasty did have the capital to do so.
Seeing Li Chengqian and Fang Xuanling, several Tibetan envoys stood up and saluted, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
"No need for formalities, distinguished envoys, please take your seats!"
The messenger stared at Li Chengqian's legs and found that unlike the legend, the prince of the Tang Dynasty was no longer lame.
As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian also had a good temperament and demeanor.
The confidence displayed from the inside out comes from the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
The Tibetan envoy stood up, bowed slightly, and took out a letter from Songtsen Gampo. "Your Highness, this is a letter from the Zamp. I hope Your Highness will pass it on to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I hope to marry a Tang princess and establish a marriage between our two countries..."
Li Chengqian raised his hand to interrupt the messenger, "Just take the letter back with you. There's no need to ask for the princess' hand in marriage. The Tang Dynasty refuses marriage alliances!"
This stunned the Tubo delegation. They didn't expect that the Tang Dynasty would refuse, and the rejection was so straightforward.
Not subtle at all.
Although the Tang Dynasty was powerful, the current Tubo should not be underestimated and was also one of the most powerful countries.
This made the Tubo envoy look unhappy.
"Your Highness, the Tang Dynasty has always prided itself on being a nation of etiquette. This is not the way to treat guests!"
"A nation of etiquette! How to treat guests?" Li Chengqian said expressionlessly, a bit domineering. "That's how you treat your guests!"
"Obviously you are not!" Li Chengqian looked at the Tubo delegation coldly.
"Tibet is a neighboring state of the Tang Dynasty. We should have coexisted peacefully and sought common development. However, you have betrayed us and repeatedly invaded our borders, disturbing the peace of our people and seizing our property and land."
"I've been warned many times, but I still don't repent!"
"Think of our Great Tang, always based on benevolence and kindness, and has shown great favor to you. In trade and cultural exchanges, we have never owed you a single thing. Yet, you are ungrateful, and instead believe that the Tang is weak and can be bullied. How can you desecrate the might of our Great Tang?"
As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, his dominance was fully displayed.
"Now, on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, I declare to you: The Tang army, a mighty force, will crush your unjust lands. We dispatch troops to uphold justice, protect our people, and safeguard our territory. This is the Tang Dynasty's responsibility and honor."
"If you have the sense to surrender quickly and send an envoy to apologize, you might be spared from catastrophic destruction and the suffering of all living beings. Otherwise, under the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, you will be reduced to ashes and pay a heavy price for your evil deeds!"
The members of the delegation were shocked. If the princess didn't agree to marry him, then so be it. Why did she suddenly declare war?
If you didn't know that this was the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, you would have thought it was fake.
It happened so suddenly!
Li Chengqian stood up and left without any room for negotiation.
It wasn't a negotiation, there was no need to discuss it, it was just a simple notification.
There was no sneak attack because we had to have a legitimate reason, and also because the Tang Dynasty was confident now.
Both Li Shimin and Li Chengqian felt that there was absolutely no problem with the Tang Dynasty's weapons.
Li Chengqian took his men away, leaving behind several members of the Tibetan delegation in a mess in the Honglu Temple.
Someone was watching Li Chengqian's performance and reported it to Li Shimin immediately.
He repeated the entire story to Li Shimin, including Li Chengqian's tone and attitude.
"You are worthy of being my son!" Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.
Ordinary people may not know about this for a while, but the top leaders have known about it for a long time.
The generals who heard the news all ran to the Taiji Hall.
Of course, it was to volunteer and lead the troops into battle.
Li Shimin also knew the tempers of his generals.
"Ananda, if other generals come to see me later, tell them that I am very busy and cannot leave. I will not see any generals."
Li Shimin also had a headache.
Many emperors had no military generals to use, but Li Shimin had so many that he could never use them all.
Every time the generals started fighting, Li Shimin had a headache.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will remember it." Li Shimin walked into the side hall leisurely with the tablet computer in his arms.
Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang were almost done with their work.
The two sisters rode their bicycles back to the princess's residence.
There are many bicycles in the Tang Dynasty now, but the two princesses are different from the others.
There is a big difference.
Princess Yuzhang rang the doorbell and it was Xiao Ran who came over.
"Young Master!"
"elder brother!"
"Well, are you done?" Xiao Ran looked at the two of them.
"I'm done now. Where's Sizi?" Li Lizhi pulled Xiao Ran's arm.
"Still sleeping, let's go over there!"
There are trains and planes to Xi'an, but Xiao Ran wants to drive.
The Northwest Grand Loop is very famous, and Xiao Ran has never seen it, so it's a good opportunity to take a look.
Prepare to take a break, find a suitable opportunity, drive the car over, and take Li Lizhi and a few others on a road trip.
Flying directly over would have been much less fun.
"Brother, let me book a plane ticket!" Princess Yuzhang took out her cell phone.
Xiao Ran had bought all the previous tickets, but this time Princess Yuzhang wanted to come by herself.
"The customs and natural landscapes in the northwest are quite different. Let's drive over instead of flying and take a closer look."
"Young Master, is it far?"
"It's not too far, but once you leave Guanzhong, the scenery over there is completely different. Wu Niang and Liu Mei will know when the time comes."
"Okay!" Princess Yuzhang didn't mention the ticket anymore.
In the evening, Li Shimin summoned Chang Sun Chong and asked him to write in the newspaper about the repeated invasions, burning, killing and looting by Tubo.
Li Shimin knew that this would inevitably arouse the anger of ordinary people, and it would be justified for the Tang Dynasty to send troops in the future.
Stand on the moral high ground.
After all, all under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are the king's subjects.
The Central Plains Dynasty has never been an invader. The whole world belongs to the Central Plains Dynasty. How could it be an invasion?
Beating you is called promoting education!
The importance of newspapers is also reflected.
Control public opinion, and what the people know is what the court wants them to know.
The next day, Xiao Ran and his companions drove west.
When I went north before, I passed through the Taihang Mountains. The Qinling Mountains near Xi'an are equally spectacular.
"Wow!" Princess Yuzhang and Li Lizhi took out their mobile phones and kept taking pictures.
Very shocking!
The two little princesses didn't get it, looked outside and thought it was boring.
"Brother, this place is much more interesting than the plains." Princess Yuzhang said while taking pictures.
Xiao Ran also felt the same way. "Driving in a place like this is also interesting. Driving near the ancient city before was really tiring and boring."
After leaving the Guanzhong area, Li Lizhi and her companions once again saw different customs and practices.
A bit desolate.
There are no lush forests to be seen. Many parts of the mountain are bare, with only bushes and lawns.
