The next morning.
It was obvious that there were more soldiers patrolling Chang 'an City than usual.
In the Imperial City, teams of imperial guards stood straight and marched in an orderly manner. Bursts of roars filled every corner of the Imperial City.
On the road from Honglu Temple to the Political Announcement Hall, teams of Jinwu Guards were holding long spears with stern faces and looking arrogantly into the distance.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The morning bell rang three times.
The eunuch's voice spread all the way from the Political Announcement Hall.
"Announce! Tubo's envoy, Solans, seeks an audience with the Emperor! "
"Announce, Tubo's envoy, Solans, seeks an audience with the Emperor!"
"Announce! Tubo's envoy, Solans, seeks an audience with the Emperor! "
At first, it was a qualified messenger who was announcing. However, as they got farther and farther away from the Imperial City, all the Jinwu Guards roared at this time.
Their voices reverberated in the Imperial City.
At this time, Solans and the others who were waiting at the side door were frightened by this lineup.
They were scared silly.
However, they could only bite the bullet and hurried forward with their heads lowered.
They couldn't retreat!
If they were timid at this time and retreated, then the situation would change.
Even if they returned to Tubo, only death would await them!
However, Solans and the others were in a more difficult situation at this time.
When they came, in order to promote Tubo, they were wearing jewelry. Even their crowns were made of pure gold. The buttons and belts on their bodies were all made of pure gold and embellished with top-grade gems.
But now.
There was not a single gem on their bodies. There was not a single golden thread to be seen!
Even their crowns were made of coarse cloth …
Li Shimin noticed this scene the moment Solans and the others stepped into the Political Announcement Hall.
He couldn't help but glance at Little Guizi and saw that there were more gems on his belt. Li Shimin instantly understood something.
He didn't take it to heart.
"Envoy Solans pays his respects to His Majesty the Tang Emperors! May Your Majesty live a long and healthy life! "
"Alright, alright, you may rise!"
Li Shimin was in a great mood.
He waved his hand and said, "These days, I have been thinking about how to help Tubo's neighboring countries. However, you also know that my Longyou Dao is suffering from a drought. Now, I have gathered all the skilled craftsmen and resources of the Tang Dynasty and used them all in Longyou Dao!"
Was there no hope?
A hint of disappointment flashed across Solans's eyes.
However, at this moment.
Li Shimin's tone suddenly changed.
"But!"
"The Tang Dynasty is a nation of friendship! Tubo and my Tang Dynasty are neighbors and friends. Therefore, I have decided to part with my treasure and sell the secret formula to Tubo! "
Li Shimin emphasized the word "sell"!
After Li Shimin said this, in the court, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and the others couldn't help but feel nervous.
When Li Shimin said that he would sell out, Solans and the others couldn't help but feel relieved.
It could be sold!
That would be the best!
What they were most worried about was that Li Shimin would ask for food at this time!
However, now it seemed that they had thought too much. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was very benevolent!
Solans couldn't help but kneel down excitedly and say, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Tang Emperors, for saving our lives! My King said that if the Tang Dynasty can save our Tubo in time of crisis, our Tubo will definitely reward you greatly after the crisis is over! "
"Wait!"
At this time.
Wei Zheng narrowed his eyes and took a step forward.
He and Li Shimin looked at each other, and then said, "Sir Envoy, please accept my offer. Since this matter has been settled, let's proceed according to the previous trade! His Majesty is merciful. As for what will happen in the future, we can forget about it. What do you think? "
What?
Solans and the others were shocked.
This … this was really so easy?
So easy to negotiate with?
Didn't they say that Li Shimin was an old fox?
How could he be so easy to negotiate with this time?
Moreover, it was the most famous Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty who came in person?
Could it be that they really want to help Tubo? Was my King thinking too much?
Solans's eyes turned and he hurriedly bowed again. "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin waved his hand. "Forget it, forget it! I am very gratified to be able to help you! "
Li Shimin's heart was very excited at this time.
Was this the most exciting time?
After Li Shimin finished acting tough, he waved his hand and said, "But I don't know about the negotiation. My dear Envoy Wei, you are fully in charge of this matter in this hall! After all, Tubo's allies are in urgent need. Don't delay any longer! "
How could Wei Zheng not understand Li Shimin's meaning?
He bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty! Then I will give the price to Tubo Envoy! "
While they were talking.
Wei Zheng took out a piece of paper with a serious face and handed it to Solans.
"This is the price of this blueprint!"
"Do you know how much the Tang Dynasty spent to develop this thing? You have seen the real thing. You know better than me how effective it is! Then, I will not waste any time. Take a look at the price I have set. If there is no problem, then we are done! "
While speaking, Wei Zheng handed the paper in his hand to Solans.
Solans took the paper and thanked him repeatedly.
He hurriedly opened it.
But the next moment, his eyes froze.
"This … this … is impossible!"
