Chapter 1076 I Want to Kill You
Chapter 1076 I Want to Kill You
"What did you say?!" Half an hour later, when Tang Jian entered the palace to explain the previous incident in the Honglu Temple to Emperor Li Er, Emperor Li Er, who had originally planned to give his granddaughter some more rewards, heard that Qiongbo Bangsai was actually plotting against Xiao Ruchu, his face was immediately filled with anger: "That Tibetan thief really dared to think! Zhang Nan!"
"I'm here." Zhang Nan, who was guarding outside the hall, knew that he had work to do.
"Go to the Honglu Temple and bring the Tibetan envoy to me!" His Majesty Li Er said as he stood up from the imperial desk, walked to the bookshelf, and took the Emperor's Sword hanging on it: "I want to have a good talk with him!"
"Your Majesty..." Seeing this, Tang Jian still looked worried, but his heart was at peace: "Well... regarding the Tibetan envoys, there is no need for you to summon them to the palace..."
"Tang Jian, what do you mean by this?" Emperor Li II narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
"All the members of the Tibetan delegation...are dead..." Tang Jian swallowed his saliva and said, "It was done by His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's men..."
"..." Upon hearing Tang Jian's words, His Majesty Li II froze in his tracks. It took him a long while to come back to his senses: "That bastard's personal guards killed all the members of the Tibetan envoys?!"
"Ah..." Tang Jian nodded with difficulty and said, "I thought... His Royal Highness the King of Chu must be worried about my safety, so he sent people to guard outside the courtyard, but who knew that the Tibetan envoy was so stupid and actually made such an unreasonable request..."
"..." In fact, as an emperor, His Majesty Li Er should be angry about this kind of thing, but for some reason, after a moment of silence, he suddenly said to Tang Jian: "I want to kill that person."
"Huh? Huh?!"
"I gave you an order in advance. If the Tibetan envoys make excessive demands, you can act accordingly." Seeing Tang Jian's big reaction, Emperor Li II simply said: "That guy worked with you after all..."
"Ah! Your Majesty... I understand! I understand..." Tang Jian really didn't expect that he could achieve his wish without any tricks this time: "It's my opinion. The Tibetan envoys don't know the hierarchy, and the demands they put forward are even more arrogant and unreasonable. They are courting their own destruction!"
"Alright, alright..." His Majesty Li II was too lazy to continue to be so annoying with Tang Jian. "You don't need to say this to me. Go back and tell Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, and Zhangsun Wuji in advance. I don't want to hear anyone oppose my use of troops against Tubo at the grand court meeting in a few days."
"Yes!" Tang Jian accepted the order happily, but then he hesitated and said, "Duke Zhao... can I find someone to pass the message?"
"Are you bargaining with me?" His Majesty Li II raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Tang Jian, you have to think it over carefully!"
"Well... I didn't think it through just now, but now I have..."
"Hmph... back off!"
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave..."
After Tang Jian bowed and left, His Majesty Li II seemed to remember something and said to the outside of the palace: "Zhang Nan, go and call Li Jing into the palace for me!"
-------------------------------------
"Damn it! Those Tubo beasts! How dare they set their sights on my daughter?!" Thousands of miles away in Qiongzhou, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was already burning with rage.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Zhenxuan looked at His Highness the Prince of Chu, who was originally fishing with him on the shore, and suddenly threw his fishing rod in anger. He thought that the other party was like this because he didn't catch any fish: "Please have a little patience--"
“Zhenxuan, the Tubo envoy proposed to Tang Jian that Songtsen Gampo’s son should marry Ruchu in the future!” His Royal Highness the King of Chu had a fierce look in his eyes at this moment: “It’s all because I was too kind-hearted in the past, which allowed these bastards to be so bold. This time… I must destroy Tubo before I stop!”
“Your Highness, this is intolerable!” After Zhang Zhenxuan knew the secret of His Highness the King of Chu, he knew that this must have happened today: “But you must send someone to take action as soon as possible to kill all the members of the Tubo delegation, and then we will set out north today and capture the thief and the king in the Tubo capital before everyone reacts!”
"All the members of the Tibetan delegation have died." His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded, then stood up and walked back: "Next... we should go to their capital to settle accounts!"
The first thing that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who was a man of great resolution and swiftness, did after returning home was to find Xiao Ruchu, who was sleeping soundly in Wu Xu's arms, in the garden and to be very affectionate with her.
"Ru Chu, let daddy hug you..."
"Woo...ah...ha!" Xiao Ruchu, whose sweet dream was disturbed by her own father, could only utter a few meaningless syllables to express her protest. Then the little girl continued to stretch out her hands towards Wu Xu, indicating that she wanted her aunt to hold her.
"Your Highness, Ruchu is still young, it's normal for her to be sleepy, don't disturb her all the time!" Wu Xu really liked Ruchu, and seeing that the little girl was not willing to stay in her father's arms, she stepped forward and took the child back: "Ruchu...be good..."
"Ah Xu, I have to go out for a few months." His Royal Highness the King of Chu watched Wu Xu coaxing the child skillfully, and he couldn't help but feel a tenderness in his heart: "During the time I'm away, you and Lian'er have worked hard--"
"Your Highness, why are you suddenly saying this?" Looking at her husband who had suddenly become gentle, Wu Xu suddenly felt something was wrong: "Are you going to go to war right away?"
"It's not an expedition, just a scout first." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is indeed a natural born bandit, and he can use the professional terminology of a bandit easily: "But this time the idea is not difficult, so it won't be a big problem."
"..." Upon hearing this, Wu Xu rolled his eyes at Li Kuan in annoyance: "Your Highness, don't scare me!"
"Haha, it was my fault." After the Prince of Chu finished speaking, he saw that Ruchu had fallen asleep again in Wuxu's arms. Looking at such a lovely daughter, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her little face, and then kissed Wuxu on the forehead: "I will definitely protect our little Ruchu and our family!"
Just like my grandmother back then...
