In the Imperial Palace.
All the officials were still drinking to celebrate the end of the Longyou Circuit's drought and the locust plague.
However, at this moment.
Wei Shuyu sneaked into the main hall and stood in front of Wei Zheng.
"Father!"
"Hmm? What are you doing here if you're not on duty? Do you want to be punished? Leave now and pretend that I didn't see you! "
"No, Father, something happened. I just received news that the Tujue's envoy has arrived."
"What?!"
Wei Zheng exclaimed.
Everyone was shocked.
Wei Zheng did not have time to explain. He asked hurriedly, "When did this happen? Where is the Tubo envoy? Why didn't you report this earlier? "
Wei Zheng didn't try to suppress his voice, so everyone in the hall could hear him.
"What?"
"The Tubo envoy is here?"
"Wei Shuyu, why didn't you report this to the Emperor earlier?"
"How dare you, Wei Shuyu! You're lying to the Emperor!"
"Enough!"
Li Shimin waved his hand casually. "All of you know what kind of person Shuyu is. He probably doesn't want to spoil your mood. Shuyu! Tell me, when did the Tubo envoy arrive? Where did he go? Why did you wait until now to report this? "
Li Shimin's heart!
It was as if he had smeared honey on it!
He really came!
Brother Zhang Feng was a god!
How could he guess that?
Moreover, he was sure that the Tubo envoy must have known about the Longyou Circuit. If that's the case, he was here to deliver money to the Tang Dynasty!
How could he not be happy?
However, he did not dare to be too obvious in front of all the officials.
Li Shimin cleared his throat and asked seriously, "Shuyu, do you know how many Tubo envoys are here and where are they?"
Wei Shuyu originally wanted to tell her father secretly, and then her father would tell the Emperor. This way, it wouldn't cause too much of a shock, but now, everyone knew.
He could only say respectfully, "Your Majesty, 11 people from Tubo have arrived in Chang 'an City!"
"What?"
"Nonsense! Why hadn't he received any news before? Is the news of the Tang Dynasty so blocked? "
"Wei Shuyu, hurry up and tell us the truth!"
All the ministers were enraged.
This person had already arrived at his doorstep, so why was there no news at all before this?
Wouldn't we be making a joke out of ourselves in front of the Tubo people?
If it weren't for the Emperor's banquet today, wouldn't the Tang Dynasty be ridiculed by a Tubo?
"Reporting to Your Majesty!"
"I heard that this group of Tubo envoys were wearing the clothes of our Tang Dynasty, and they are suspected to have come from Longyou Circuit! I just learned this from a Longyou Circuit soldier who was following this group of Tubo envoys! They only changed into Tubo clothes when they were about to enter Chang 'an City, so they didn't alert anyone! "
"What!?"
"How dare you!"
"How dare you! How dare you spy on Longyou Circuit! "
"Your Majesty, please issue an edict to arrest this group of Tubo envoys!"
At this time, except for Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, and the others who were in shock, all the civil and military officials in the hall were furious.
They didn't know when this group of envoys had infiltrated the Tang Dynasty, and they could disguise themselves all the way from Longyou Circuit to Chang 'an City. What were they thinking?
They wanted to slap the face of the Tang Dynasty!
Moreover, the matter of Longyou Circuit couldn't be covered up anymore!
"Your Majesty! We beg Your Majesty to arrest this group of Tubo envoys immediately, or the disaster of our Tang Dynasty will be completely exposed! "
All the civil and military officials knelt in unison and begged for the order.
But at this time, Li Shimin also came to his senses.
'Sure enough!
It's just as the shopkeeper expected! '
'This group of Tubo people can't sit still. And now I finally understand why Zhang Feng ordered people to spread the news at that time and pay attention to suspicious people!'
'It turns out that he has foreseen all of this!'
Li Shimin waved his hand.
"This can't be done!"
Wei Zheng hurried forward and looked at the officials with a serious face. "This matter concerns the fate of our Tang Dynasty, and all of this is under His Majesty's control! Do you think His Majesty has no plans? "
Cheng Yaojin couldn't hold it in anymore.
He jumped up and said, "That's right! Wei Zheng is right. In fact, His Majesty has already made arrangements for this matter. He was waiting for the Tubo envoys! They are here to deliver money to our Tang Dynasty! "
'Wh … What?'
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim.
'Deliver money?'
'This …'
'What's going on?'
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Li Shimin smiled and stood up. He shook his cloak and said, "This is the third good news I want to announce. Since the Tubo envoys have arrived, then prepare a carriage for the Tubo envoys in the Political Announcement Hall!"
"Yes! The Emperor is wise! Long live the Emperor! "
As the crowd cheered.
Li Shimin's personal eunuch screamed, "Prepare a carriage for the Political Announcement Hall! All the officials will follow! "
And at this time.
The group of arrogant Tubo envoys had already appeared at the gate of the Vermilion Bird Gate.
Looking at the majestic palace, the leading envoy's eyes were shining with a fiery light.
"Damned Tangs! This imperial capital is like a paradise. Sooner or later, it will belong to my Tubo!"
As he spoke, the gate in front of the envoy slowly opened. The envoy waved his hand and said, "Everyone must be 120% alert when entering the palace to meet His Majesty. Remember our mission!"
"Yes!"
