Chapter 431

Hearing this, Du Du Ruhui and Cheng Cheng Yaojin were shocked, and the two looked at each other.

Where did this old thing get the news?

"Reporting to the Retired Emperor, we do indeed have that intention."

Du Du Ruhui prepared to tell the truth, wanting to see what Li Yuan wanted to do.

To be honest.

Du Du Ruhui really didn't want to agree to the Turks' conditions, but he was still weighing the pros and cons.

The Turks are ambitious and are the greatest threat to the Great Tang.

One day, the Great Tang will definitely destroy the Turks!

It's just, not now!

"Foolish!" Li Yuan slammed his cane and said sternly: "Don't you know how powerful the Turks are? Back then, Khan Jieli led over 100,000 cavalry and turned the Great Tang upside down, and even Chang'an was barely saved. The Turks today are even more powerful than before, possessing 500,000 troops! If our Great Tang angers the Turks, can we still have a good life?"

Hearing Li Yuan's remarks, the group of opposition officials, including Cheng Cheng Yaojin, became impatient.

This old guy is here to preside over justice!

"Retired Emperor, do you know that the Turkic envoy Zhishi Sili snatched 18 innocent women in Chang'an in three days and tortured them all to death? Are we just going to swallow our anger like this? Don't we want an explanation from the Turkic envoy?"

"Yes! This matter has caused the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people in our Great Tang, if the Turks don't give an explanation, this matter won't end!"

"Don't agree to them no matter what!"

"Right!"

Cheng Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Duan Zhixuan, and other military generals shouted with red faces and thick necks.

They were the main force of officials who were most firmly opposed to providing help to the Turks.

"Isn't it just some women? What's the big deal?" Li Yuan smiled contemptuously, shaking his head: "You people, your perspective is truly small! Using the lives of a few women to exchange for peace with the Turks, why not do it? As the saying goes, 'Use the resources of the Great Tang to win the favor of the neighboring country'—this is the purpose of our Great Tang!"

Fuck your mother!

Is this something a human would say?

Cheng Cheng Yaojin was about to explode with anger, wishing he could punch this old thing to death.

Du Du Ruhui, Yuchi Jingde, Li Ji, and others also had their faces pulled down.

However, civil officials from noble families like Gao Shilian, Xiao Yu, and Yu Shinan all nodded, revealing satisfied smiles.

"This matter doesn't need to be discussed anymore, let this old man decide! If Lao Er comes back and blames anyone, you can push this matter onto this old man."

"Come, invite the Tibetan envoy to the hall!"

Li Yuan's addiction to being emperor was back, and regardless of whether Cheng Cheng Yaojin and the others were willing, he wanted to make it a done deal.

Princess Gaoyang had already quietly called the Tibetan envoy Zhishi Sili to the palace.

A moment later.

Zhishi Sili walked in swaggeringly.

The civil and military officials in the Taiji Hall all stared at him with fierce eyes.

Especially military generals like Cheng Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde, who wished they could swallow this beast alive.

"How is it? You Han people do things so sluggishly, just give a straight answer if you can do it or not, I still have to go back and report to our Great Khan!" Zhishi Sili didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, and asked directly after entering.

Looking at his arrogant attitude, it seemed he didn't take the 18 women tortured to death to heart at all.

It was as if...

They were just 18 two-legged sheep that died!

"Hehehe! Envoy, rest assured, we have finished discussing. We will comply with all of your country's requests, there won't be any accidents."

Li Yuan immediately greeted him with a smile, quite respectfully.

"Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier? You wasted so much time for me in Chang'an, if you make this envoy wait a few more days, believe it or not, I'll burn Chang'an down!"

Zhishi Sili held his head high, wantonly mocking them with no one in his eyes.

He knew very well.

Great Tang?

Hehe!

It's just a fat sheep for the Turks!

Eat it whenever you want!

Rob it whenever you want!

The Great Tang doesn't even dare to fart!

The facts are just like that.

The court officials in the Taiji Hall didn't dare to speak out of anger, and could only breathe heavily.

They hoped so much that the Great Tang could be strong, could stop looking at others' faces, and could completely eliminate the Turks.

But they couldn't!

The Great Tang was too weak!

It was truly too weak!!!

Shame!

This is simply a great humiliation!

Just like this.

Zhishi Sili, having completed his mission, left Changancheng.

It is said that when he left, he was sitting on a tall horse, holding a hemp rope in his hand.

Behind the hemp rope were tied hundreds of young and beautiful women in Chang'an!

Each one was delicate and tender.

One look and you could tell they were pampered young ladies.

They were crying and wailing.

But no one on either side of the street dared to stand up for them.

Zhishi Sili left Changancheng and the Great Tang in such a swaggering manner!

And those women would never be able to return.

"Damn it, I'll kill them!"

Cheng Cheng Yaojin, who received the news, was furious, his eyes splitting, holding two axes, wanting to pursue the Turkic envoy.

"Old Cheng, calm down! Since things have already reached this point, we can only swallow our anger."

Du Du Ruhui pulled Cheng Cheng Yaojin with all his might.

He also hated it in his heart!

But what can he do if he hates it?

"Ahhh!!!"

Cheng Cheng Yaojin went crazy, holding his two axes, and chopped all the tables and chairs around him into powder.

"Report! Reporting to the Prime Minister, news from the front, Great Qin ruler Qin Mu is personally leading 250,000 troops north to crusade against the Turks, and has announced to the world that this time he will fight the Turks to the death, and will not return to the court until the Turks are broken!"

"Good!!!"

Hearing this, Cheng Cheng Yaojin's blood surged, and he wished he could roar to the sky to celebrate.

"Good! Qin Mu, oh Qin Mu, you must kill these bastards!"

Du Du Ruhui's face also turned red, his excited heart beating wildly, and he couldn't help but curse.

It didn't matter if Qin Mu was once an enemy of the Great Tang.

Who cares if he's an enemy?

Great Tang and Great Qin, in the end, are of the same origin. ===== CHAPTER 433 =====

Great Tang and Great Qin, when it comes down to it, are both of the same ancestry and origin.
