Chapter 199: The Envoy Brawls
The Silla envoy stayed in the palace for less than a quarter of an hour, and then walked away like a lost dog.
Unlike when I came, I was arrogant, and when I went back, I was scowling. Because Li Shimin very unceremoniously drove the Silla envoy back.
You sent envoys twice and sent me some jewels to send me into the army? Are you a fool when I Li Shimin are you? How can there be such a cheap good thing in the world?
According to Li Shimin's estimate, if you want to take Goguryeo, you must send at least 100,000 troops. Datang has a total of 500,000 or 600,000 troops in the whole country, and if you move out of these 100,000, you don't care about other places?
Moreover, sending troops means paying several times the amount of grain and grass money as a logistical reserve, and in recent years, the Datang treasury has finally been replenished a little, how can it be used like this? Your jewelry doesn't seem to be worth the price.
Li Shimin is not a businessman, but when he thinks about things, especially national affairs, he is definitely more shrewd than a businessman, otherwise he would not have secured the title of "Emperor Ming of the Ages".
The pros outweigh the disadvantages, Li Shimin definitely rolls up his sleeves and goes up, as for the disadvantages, I'm sorry, who are you?
Therefore, it is normal for the Silla envoy to touch the nose of Li Shimin to be gray, but it is a pity that the Silla envoy seems to have a bit of insufficient IQ, or the Queen of Silla may have seen the wrong person.
After the envoy went back, he did not learn from the pain, and carefully thought about what was the reason for Li Shimin's refusal, or how to persuade Li Shimin to send troops, and what kind of conditions Li Shimin would relent.
He relied on everything on the Goguryeo envoys, believing that it must be the Goguryeo people who provoked the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Silla, causing Li Shimin to reject him directly without thinking about it.
It's really a magical logic, the Goguryeo people haven't seen Li Shimin at all, and they actually arouse his suspicion so much, and they don't know how long this person's brain circuit is, maybe it's all right-angle bends.
After returning to the Sifang Pavilion, the Silla envoys called the envoys who accompanied them and told them indignantly that Li Shimin did not agree to their request this time, and it was all the Goguryeo people next door who were obstructing them.
The Silla people have always been oppressed by the Goguryeo people, and they originally had a lot of resentment against the Goguryeo people in their hearts, but now they were provoked by the envoys, and they suddenly exploded, so the envoys took the accompanying envoys to the Goguryeo residence next door and shouted.
The poor Goguryeo probably never dreamed that the Silla people, who were usually bullied by them, would be so kind that they would come to the door in the Sifang Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty to provoke.
Therefore, when they didn't think much about opening the gate, they had no resistance to the fists of the Silla people.
"Bang!" The Goguryeo people who opened the door were punched in the eye.
"Oops!" He fell to the ground with a cry of pain.
After the Silla envoy put down one of them, he shouted to the messengers behind him who were about to burst into a rage: "Brothers! Beat them up! Shame on our country! ”
"Shame on the country!" The envoys stepped forward one after another, punching and kicking the Goguryeo people who had fallen to the ground, and they were not happy.
The Goguryeo people, who were still in the house, finally felt that something was wrong when they heard the noise outside, and when they came out, they saw their compatriots being beaten by a group of Silla people and crying for their fathers and mothers.
The Goguryeo people don't do it anymore, thinking that you Silla actually dare to beat our people, this breath must be recovered!
So the Goguryeo people immediately gathered their companions and took action against the Silla people, who had beaten their compatriots, and the two groups of men and horses quickly became entangled.
While scolding foul words in his mouth, you punch me in my hand and I punch it so lively.
The two envoys gathered to fight, and this movement naturally attracted the attention of the other delegations in the Sifang Pavilion.
The envoys of other countries were also very lively, and when they saw the two missions fighting, they gathered to the side to watch, and shouted and cheered for them unscrupulously.
“****! Hit him in the nose! Ah! It's useless! was actually knocked down by a backhand! ”
"Stupid! Hit him in the waist! Right! Just hit it like that! Hahaha! Listen to Lao Tzu is really right! ”
"Beat him! Beat him up! Ay! Knocked over again, phew! It's useless! ”
Such a big movement naturally immediately attracted the attention of the officials of the Sifang Pavilion. By the time they brought people to the scene of the brawl, the beating was over.
As a result, the Silla envoys were victorious, and they stood in the middle of the courtyard with black blue on their faces, and they all fell to the ground without exception, crying for their fathers and mothers.
Why is Silla's combat effectiveness so strong? Because since the last time the envoy was assassinated, the queen of Silla specially sent a group of envoys who knew martial arts to the Tang Dynasty, and it can be said that all the envoys in this team can fight.
Hence the tragedy of the Goguryeo people.
"What's the situation? What's the situation? What country are you from? Gather people to fight in the Sifang Pavilion, is there any royal law? Seeing this scene, the official who led the team jumped to his feet angrily, and bluntly scolded the two groups of people who were fighting, what was ugly and scolding, and greeted all the female ancestors of the other party.
And the Silla envoys and the Goguryeo people who were put on the ground had no choice but to accompany the smiling faces, not daring to say anything.
As officials of the Tang Dynasty, they have the confidence to treat foreign envoys like this. Barbarians from all over the world are coming to the court!
No matter how arrogant you are on the territory of your own country, you have to follow our rules when you come to Datang! No one can object!
This is Datang's confidence! This is the arrogance of Datang!
Are you not convinced? It's okay, I'll beat you!
The strength of the Tang Dynasty is definitely not something to be talked about, it was won by him with his great military exploits and strong military strength!
Although the Goguryeo people have always been unconvinced by the Tang Dynasty, although the Tibetan envoys have been provoking the Tang Dynasty, and although Xue Yantuo in the north has been sending troops to harass the Tang Dynasty, they must have acted in accordance with the system of the Tang Dynasty and have no temper.
The envoys of the two countries gathered in the Sifang Pavilion to fight, and this matter was not big or small, after all, it involved the diplomatic issues of the two countries, so soon, the officials of the Sifang Pavilion reported the matter to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin also had a headache when he read this report, two countries that were originally not in harmony were fighting on their own territory, should this matter be so good?
In the end, Li Shimin had no choice but to call the envoys of the two countries to the Taiji Palace and reprimand both of them. Let them go back and reflect, and that's how it passed.
At least that's what Li Shimin thinks.
However, the Silla envoys and the Goguryeo envoys immediately turned their faces again the moment they walked out of the Taiji Palace, and the contradictions between the two nationalities were far less understated than Li Shimin imagined.
Fortunately, the envoys of the two countries were not overwhelmed by anger, and knew that they couldn't do anything outside the Taiji Palace, so they stopped scolding each other and returned to the Sifang Pavilion with an unhappy face, thinking about how to yin each other.
It didn't take long for the interesting story of the two envoys fighting to spread, and in one day, everyone in Chang'an City was known and used as a joke after dinner.
Chen Fei rode his horse leisurely, looking at Cheng Chumo with a strange expression, and finally couldn't help it, twitched the corners of his mouth and asked, "Brother Chumo, what are you laughing at?" Is it that funny? ”
