The Honglu Temple, which was idle for many days in the Tang Dynasty, seemed particularly lively today because a team of envoys came to serve.

Unlike the Tang Dynasty, which came to worship in history, in this era, because of the wings of Bai Fan, the butterfly's wings, the Tang Dynasty's national strength increased sharply and its external expansion was rapidly expanding. Before the tribes around supported Li Shimin as the Tian Khan, the Tang Dynasty had basically defeated all the border tribes and gathered them onto its own territory.

Now there is only the Western Turks, a foreign neighbor, left, but it has been issued a ban on severance of diplomatic relations by the Tang Dynasty for four years. Li Er even sent someone to let go of harsh words that the next one to destroy the country was the Western Turks. Who knew that they were persuaded by the ministers and waited for three years, and then there was an accident in which the Cui family of Boling leaked the sky-blasting thunder, so the Western Turks' problems were delayed and they had not taken action for a long time.

Li Er, a side of the Tang Dynasty, was anxious to look at the map all day long, but the officials regarded it as if they had not seen it, because the old saying said that war would lead to death, and basically no one except the generals wanted to fight.

The Western Turkic side was also scared and worried for three years. However, when they saw the Tang Dynasty's winds were louder and less rainy, they became more and more bold. After receiving the thunder, they even made popularized them. The talented people in the middle of the country also knew to expand and plunder westward to survive.

The Western Turks captured the 36 countries in the Western Regions. At this time, the Persian country bordered the west. Persia's national strength was not weak, but years of development have now reached its end, so there is no longer the military power of the Persian Empire that swept across the world in the early years, and it was soon defeated by the Western Turkic cavalry.

So in desperation, the Persians had to find a way to survive, but to the west was the newly rising Arab Empire. In this era, the Tang Dynasty called the Great Food Kingdom. The Arab Empire and Persia were old rivals and always wanted to annex Persia.

Therefore, in the end, Persia could only implement the method of crossing far and near attacking, crossing the Western Turks and seeking help from the Tang Empire in the east, which led to the grand occasion of the Honglu Temple this day.

His Majesty Li Er met with envoys from Persia at the Taiji Hall ceremony. Because they spoke Persian, the Honglu Temple of the Tang Dynasty sent Tang Shanshi, who was good at multilingualism, to accompany him as a translator.

"I wonder what the Persian envoys come to our Tang Dynasty? You and I have had business dealings in the past, and they are also considered friendly countries." Li Er asked.

The Persian envoy Wuwulala spoke and gestured. After talking for a long time, Tang Shanshi translated to Li Er and others: "Your Majesty, he said that the Western Turks are invading their country and want to ask us for support."

Wei Zheng asked, "This red-haired official has been saying so long, why is this just saying?"

Tang Shanshi quickly explained: "I am not very proficient in foreign languages. I can't translate some of his bitter local dialects, but it roughly means this."

Everyone thought, there is no need to listen to the bitter words, and we are not interested. Tang Shanshi was able to learn many languages ​​at a young age. He is indeed a talented person, and he is worthy of being the grandson of Tang Jian of Honglu Temple.

Li Er said, "Perris comes to ask for help. I believe that I should fulfill my promise to the Western Turks four years ago, send troops to attack Persia from the east and west, and destroy the Western Turks in one fell swoop."

"Your Majesty think twice. I think this is not a good time to send troops. I should wait and observe before making a decision." Wei Zheng hurriedly stood up and stopped him.

"I, please think twice, please think twice." Many civil officials followed suit and advised him.

Changsun Wuji spoke, "Your Majesty, this matter is a bit strange. Logically speaking, he should ask for help from his own neighbors in the west. Why did he look far and come to our Tang Dynasty? And according to the information, this man seemed to have come empty-handed."

"Oh, please be careful with your words. I, the Tang Dynasty, live in all over the world, and I still care about what kind of gifts can I get? Stopping the world is the way of a saint." Li Er explained.

"Your Majesty, these red-haired men are not the same saint as us. They want us to send troops with nothing but white teeth? It's so ridiculous! It shows that they have no sincerity and no kindness." Du Ruhui said.

At this time, Changsun Wuji had already walked to the Persian envoy and started asking.

How smart the old fox was, and the Persian messenger could not answer when he saw sweat on his forehead. He already knew about it.

"Your Majesty, this person is trying to destroy us. Their own country is in danger and cannot take care of itself. The west is also attacked by neighboring countries, and the east is attacked by Western Turks. It is impossible to stop the destruction of the country, and it is even more impossible to work with our Tang Dynasty to destroy the Western Turks. Therefore, we must not be deceived this time." Changsun Wuji spoke.

Li Eryi heard, okay, this red-haired man is so cunning. The Western Turks invaded you, what does it have to do with me, the Tang Dynasty? His sleeves were swung, and Tang Shanshi refused the Persians.

When the man saw that the situation was not good, he quickly apologized and took out a piece of stuff from his arms and handed it on, saying it was a gift.

"Haha, I just said that this person doesn't look good. If you don't force him, you even want to embezzle the gifts." Changsun Wuji took them and said with a smile.

But when he looked down at the thing on the paper, he was a little stunned. This, this is not...

"Auxiliary machine, what is on the paper? Could it be a treasure? Is it a good thing? Is it a good thing for you to look like this?" the civil officials asked.

"This is not a treasure? Isn't this the secret recipe for the Sky Thunder leaked from my Tang Dynasty? This Persian is very good at doing business and takes our things and bribes us in turn?"

Listening to Changsun Wuji's explanation, everyone's face turned dark. Isn't this what Boling Cui family leaked to the west to the Western Regions? What a good guy, how dare you show it out?

Li Er said angrily: "Come, blow this person out for me. The Tang Dynasty announced that he would be a hostile country with Persia from now on and would never have any good friends."

In this way, the Persian envoy was bombarded out of the Tai Chi Hall in a daze. He even thought that the Tang Dynasty had accepted the gift and turned against others.

"Your Majesty, I think that if the Western Turks expand westward, our Tang Dynasty can watch on the wall. It just happened to drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf, so that the Western Turks could defeat the barbarians in the west. Then, our Tang Dynasty would take action to destroy the Western Turks, and then we could take over a larger territory and make a profit from a fisherman.

On the contrary, if we attack the Western Turks now, they will inevitably stop expanding and return to the army to rescue them. Then we will surround Wei and save Zhao. We do not have such a good friendship with the Western barbarian country, so there is no need to save him."

After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Er slid his hands and laughed: "Okay, the words of the auxiliary Ji are very consistent with my wishes. I will drive the tiger and swallow the wolf with one move. Then I, the Tang Dynasty, will wait for the Western Turks for a few more years. When he has settled all the powerful enemies in the west, we will take over all the territory. It can be regarded as the Western Turks who will be the vanguard officer for us to unify the west."

As for whether the Western Turks could be able to strengthen themselves through continuous plunder and counterattack the Tang Dynasty in the future, everyone did not take it seriously. The Western Turks were just a thunderbolt, and they would definitely not have the strength to fight back against the Tang Dynasty.
