After the court.
Everyone left in a hurry.
However, Wei Zheng and the others ended up gathering in the Taiji Palace after making a huge detour.
"Hahaha! Awesome! This Old Man has never felt so good before! "
"Isn't that so? Just like that, the arrogance of the Tubo envoys was completely crushed. This Brother Zhang Feng is amazing! "
"Especially when Old Wei asked that domineering question. I, Old Cheng, almost held my axe and roared angrily!"
"Enough! Don't be so smug. This matter has been dealt with for the time being, but it's not over yet. It will be more difficult next time! "
Li Shimin interrupted everyone.
He continued, "What do you think of this matter? Now, all of you know about Tubo's situation. Moreover, after observing everyone's words and actions today, as well as the situation in the secret report and the little shopkeeper's speculation, We realized that the drought in Tubo doesn't seem to be as easy as we thought. We suspect that their drought has already reached an uncontrollable stage! "
Hearing that.
Everyone put away the smiles on their faces and fell into deep thought.
Wei Zheng thought for a while and said with a fist salute, "Your Majesty, I think we should help! Didn't the shopkeeper say so? We can sell this to them at a high price! In this way, we … "
"Sell? Sell my ass! "
Hearing that, Cheng Yaojin slapped the armchair and said, "Your Majesty, I've thought about it. If you can give me three hundred thousand soldiers, I promise to conquer Tubo in a month!"
"Nonsense!"
Du Ruhui's face was gloomy. He pointed at Cheng Yaojin's nose and shouted, "You black charcoal man, you only know how to fight and kill. The situation in Tubo is so bad now. They don't even know about the plague of locusts. Tell me, if you conquer them now, won't you cause more trouble for the Tang Dynasty?" “
It's easy for you to conquer them, but we have to bear all the disasters by ourselves! I don't think this method is appropriate! "
"Why is it inappropriate? Sigh! Old Du, what do you think? We have the young shopkeeper with us now. As long as we take down Tubo, we can slowly use this way … "
"Enough! Old Black, sit down! "
Li Shimin waved his hand.
"I have also thought about this matter, but this is the most dangerous, so I don't agree! Even if we want to fight, we have to wait for the disaster to end. Wouldn't it be better for us to receive a complete Tubo? Why do I have to pick up trouble? "
Cheng Yaojin shrank his neck and wanted to say something, but after Wei Zheng glared at him, he had to swallow his words.
Li Shimin said again, "Let's continue our discussion. Things must be given, but what do they have to give you? And what is it that we urgently need? "
Zhangsun Wuji narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember that the shopkeeper said that Tubo also had a locust plague?"
Li Shimin's eyes lit up.
"Yeah! And from their conversation today, it seems that they didn't notice the locust plague? "
"Yes!"
"If that's the case, the locust plague … the locust plague …"
Li Shimin stroked his chin and walked a few rounds in Taiji Palace.
A bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Wei Zheng, tell me about the situation in Tubo from the Secretarial Bureau!"
Wei Zheng seemed to have realized something.
He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, according to the information compiled by the Secretarial Bureau, most of Tubo's wealth and food industry are concentrated in the hands of a few rich people!"
"And now, although most of the ordinary people are starving and even risking their lives to climb the mountains and come to the Tang Dynasty to find food, I think that we really don't need to help Tubo for the time being!"
"Why?"
Everyone looked at Wei Zheng in confusion.
Wei Zheng's eyes flashed fiercely.
"Their nobles are not hungry yet!"
"Their people are not rioting yet!"
"This time, they must have sent people here because the higher-ups of Tubo are also worried about this problem. If we make a fuss about this and spread the news about Longyou Dao, I believe that in less than half a month, Tubo will definitely kneel and beg the Tang Dynasty!"
"Good!"
"Wei Zheng! So you're this kind of person? "
"You're too mean! But I like it! "
"Hehe, you're really cold on the inside!"
Everyone heard that and could not help but have goosebumps.
At that moment, they even made a mental note to themselves.
From now on, they must never offend Old Man Wei! This guy is going to trick you to death!
"Now, I just want to know how to solve the problem of Tubo's envoys. We have to come up with a plan for this matter, and what do we need them to give us in exchange? "
"We don't lack land now, and they can't wait to give us land. We don't want it!"
"Then what's left?"
Li Shimin asked three questions in a row.
However, everyone looked thoughtful, but no one could come up with a plan.
Then, Li Shimin said in a serious tone, "In that case, I think it's time to ask the shopkeeper. This thing originally belonged to him!"
Everyone looked at each other.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
That's right!
How could he have forgotten about that guy for something like this?
