Chapter 649: Betrothing the Island Princess to Duke Zhao

Two days later, Luoche City received news that the assassins ahead had been wiped out.

Songtsen Gampo sat on his throne, frowning.

The carefully arranged assassination plan was originally thought to be foolproof. Even if it could not actually kill Zhao Chen, it could still deter him.

But who would have known that Zhao Chen had only been there for two days before all the assassins he arranged were wiped out.

"It's a pity that Zhao Chen was only slightly injured. If the knife had been a little deeper, he would have died!" Tubo Dalun sighed.

Obviously extremely dissatisfied with this result.

"This Zhao Chen is really thoughtful. When he was in the Su Dingfang camp, he pretended to be so cruel just to show up and fight for his life to deceive our people." Songtsen Gampo said expressionlessly.

Combining the information received twice, Songtsen Gampo finally figured out that what happened twice had actually been planned by Zhao Chen.

"What do you mean, Master Zanpu?" Tubo Dalun was a little surprised.

He didn't quite understand what Songtsen Gampo meant by what he just said.

"Zhao Chen had already started making plans when he asked who killed the Tang soldier."

"He made everyone think that he was avenging that soldier, and he also hinted in the hearts of us traitors that he, Zhao Chen, was an executioner who killed without scruples."

"Especially for us Tubo people, we will never show mercy."

"So, after he tied everyone up, he sent people to dig holes, and everyone panicked."

"They feel that Zhao Chen will really kill them all, and Zhao Chen behaves so calmly, so..." At this point, Songtsen Gampo shook his head.

He had already found Zhao Chen difficult to deal with before.

But he didn't expect it to be so cunning.

"What Zanpu means is that all this was designed by Zhao Chen, and we all fell into the trap?" Tubo Dalun's expression changed slightly.

He thought everything was intentional before

Besides, when Songtsen Gampo said this, a cold sweat broke out on his back.

No matter how old Zhao Chencai is, he is so thoughtful.

He even calculated the changes before and after.

But he almost died. How could this...

"What scares me is this scene. Zhao Chen included himself in the plan."

"If the knife had gone any deeper, he, the planner, would have died under the knife."

"Zhao Chen, this person is indeed a lunatic!" Songtsen Ganbu showed a strange look on his face.

Tubo Dalun didn't know what to say at this moment.

Looking at Songtsen Gampo's face, he didn't speak for a long time.

"What's the current situation in the Dashi Kingdom?" After a long time, Songtsen Gampo asked.

"Reporting to Master Zanpu, Dashi Country has begun to deliver supplies, but it is expected to take a long time, so..."

"Publish this news and say that in another month, we will have sufficient supplies." Songtsen Gampo waved.

…

Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, Tai Chi Hall.

Envoys from various countries have also arrived here to meet with the emperor today together with the officials of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin is very happy.

The envoys from various countries behaved obediently and politely in front of him.

He just barely had the word "respect" written on his forehead.

The Tang Dynasty today is completely different from the Tang Dynasty a year ago, and all countries can see it with their own eyes.

Otherwise, with Songtsen Gampo's strength, how could he be blocked by the Tang army after taking Songzhou?

Now not only are they forced to trade with each other at ten times the price, but everyone

A large number of Tubo people also gave them the Tang Dynasty to build a cement road to Luoxue City.

If this was not forced, there would be no way.

Even if Songtsen Gampo was crazy, he would not agree to such a thing.

"The envoys from various countries have worked hard all the way!" Li Shimin looked at the envoys in front of him with a smile on his face.

"It's not hard at all to see His Majesty the Emperor's beauty!" The envoy from the island nation looked at Li Shimin with a flattering look.

Li Shimin feels good about the island country.

These guys are very polite and make people feel very comfortable.

Li Shimin even thought that Zhao Chen could be allowed to communicate more with islanders in the future.

I think Zhao Chen would feel the same way as him.

"The island country is located in the East, a remote place, but it is not easy to have an envoy like you." Li Shimin nodded, with a smile on his face.

"Compared to Wei Wei and the Tang Dynasty, small countries like ours are really not worth mentioning. The Tang Dynasty is full of talents, and even foreign ministers cannot impress them."

"Your Majesty, the foreign ministers have already heard in their hometown that a young prince has emerged from the Tang Dynasty. He is very talented and is among the best among people."

"Foreign ministers have long wanted to see the true face of this prince."

"I wonder if I am so lucky." The island country's envoy and Li Shimin said as they cupped their hands.

"We also want to meet this Lord Duke. I wonder if your majesty can agree!" Envoys from other countries also asked.

"Is Duke Zhao's reputation already so great?"

"It's only been a year, and even foreign envoys have heard about him?"

"When these envoys come to our Tang Dynasty, the first person they want to see is not the prince, but Zhao Chen."

"No, it's extremely rude."

"Barbarians, how much etiquette do you think they know?"

An official opened his mouth and looked at everyone

The faces of all the envoys from the country were not very good-looking.

Most of them are Li Chengqian's people, so this reaction is normal.

"Old Qin, look at their faces, they really make me laugh to death." Cheng Yaojin looked at the gesticulating officials with a smile and said to Qin Qiong on the side.

Qin Qiong had a smile on her face and nodded without saying anything.

He looked teasingly at the officials who had just spoken.

Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong understood the indignation of the officials as a manifestation of their guilty conscience.

After all, how could an envoy not ask about the prince's situation when he first arrived, but instead asked a county official.

Isn't this a slap in the prince's face?

But they liked hearing it.

"I didn't expect that the name of this boy Zhao Chen would be spread to you. It's a pity that he is still in Songzhou. He probably won't be able to come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival." Li Shimin said with a smile.

As for the dissatisfaction of the ministers just now, Li Shimin didn't take it to heart.

Only the mediocre would be jealous. If Li Chengqian could be as capable as Zhao Chen, what would be the current situation?

"You won't come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" The envoy from the island country was stunned for a moment, then sighed with a look on his face.

"Your Majesty, the foreign minister came this time with a request from the emperor of our island country!" the island country's envoy continued.

"Well, to put it simply, if it's reasonable, I'll accept it." Li Shimin smiled.

Now that the Tang family has a great cause, if the request of the emperor of a small island country is suitable, he will be satisfied.

All the officials also looked at the envoys of the island country.

It is not impossible for an envoy to come to the Tang Dynasty to seek benefits, but this guy is really the first to say it directly in the Taiji Hall.

Are all islanders so ignorant of obscurity?

"My Majesty the Island Country has a legitimate daughter, she is twenty-eight years old and has never been married..."
