"Master, why did the King of Qin summon us? Is it related to those Turkic people?" Li Chunfeng asked Yuan Tiangang while rushing to the hall.

Yuan Tiangang said: "Maybe."

The two of them walked forward and it took less than a long time to arrive at the main hall of Hongyi Palace. In addition to Li Chunfeng, all the officials from Tiance Mansion also arrived.

With Li Chunfeng's official position, he belonged to the lowest and lowest existence in this Tiance Mansion, so he was the most back in the hall.

Because Li Shimin summoned him very quickly, some officials from the Tiance Prefecture rushed to Hongyi Palace before they even had time to change their official uniforms. However, this was not a big deal for Li Shimin, who was not particular about the details.

So, above the hall, there were figures of various colors and styles of clothes. Li Chunfeng's eyes passed through the gap and looked towards the center of the hall.

There, the four Turks in the past were indeed standing there, while Li Shimin on the high platform had a gloomy face.

Li Chunfeng observed carefully for a while and found that in front of the four Turkic people, there seemed to be a high table, and something seemed to be placed on the table.

"What's the point of these Turkic people?"

While thinking, a heavy footsteps came from behind Li Chunfeng.

"Hmm?" Li Chunfeng turned his head slightly and looked out the door. Because he was standing in the last row and was close to the door of the hall, he could observe the scene outside the hall, "Yuchi Jingde?"

But in the sun, Yuchi Jingde was walking quickly from a distance in black armor.

"Yuchi Jingde comes to the palace."

Not only Yuchi Jingde, but also the civil servants and military generals who could be selected by Tiance Mansion rushed to Hongyi Palace in the next time.

"Duan Zhixuan, the General of the Cavalry of Leyou Mansion, came to the hall."

"Tiance Mansion is engaged in the central secretary Du Ruhui going to the palace."

"The General of the Carriage and Cavalry Hou Jun gathered to the hall."

...

As the heavy figures appeared one by one, Li Shimin on the high platform gradually relaxed.

In the end, the hall gathered in Tiance Prefecture, and more than 30 civil officials and military generals of the Qin Palace, and Li Shimin's right-hand arm Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were all present.

Fang Xuanling looked at the four Turkic people beside him and said, "Your Highness, suddenly summon us, I wonder what happened?"

Li Shimin said: "Mr. Fang, today you will ask them on my behalf."

"As for the order." Fang Xuanling took the order, turned around and came to the four Turks, and asked, "What is the purpose of you Turks, come to my Hongyi Palace?"

One of the four Turkic people was a translator. After listening to Fang Xuanling's words, he turned to translate it to the leader of the Turkic. The leader said a series of words that he could not understand. The translator said: "We are the special envoy of Jieli Khan."

"Special Envoy?" Fang Xuanling said, "Hmph, my Qin Palace has never had any contact with you Turks. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it."

The translator said: "Mr. Fang said this badly. In the seventh year of Wude, I, Khan Jie Li, had a relationship with His Highness King Qin. Did His Highness King Qin forget the appointment at Wulongshang?"

"Ha! The barbarians dare to mention the matter of Wulongshang. You Turks violated the alliance and burned, killed and looted me on the Tang Dynasty border. Today, I, Cheng, will settle the account for you clearly!" After saying that, Cheng Yaojin waved his big fist and wanted to attack the four Turks.

Li Shimin spoke to stop him: "Yao Jin, don't be impulsive."

"Hmph!" With Li Shimin stopping him, Cheng Yaojin had to give up.

"This time, Jie Li Khan sent us here to ask the King of Qin whether the Tang Dynasty still abides by the alliance of that year?"

Li Shimin frowned: "How do you say this?"

"If we abide by the alliance between the Tang and the Turks, why would we give me the fake tributes of Jie Li Khan!" The Turks continued to translate, "I, a million Turkic soldiers, are they just decorations in the eyes of Tang?"

This was already a very threatening feeling to everyone on the court.

The Tang Dynasty was settled at the beginning and had not fully recovered from the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, so he did not want to fight against the Turks who were eyeing them. Li Yuan meant to rest and rest first, and then give the Turks a fatal blow when the time was right.

However, the Turks are not stupid. They know that once the Tang Dynasty recovers, the Turks will have no chance of winning. Therefore, the Turks have repeatedly invaded the border in recent years, but they just don’t want to give the Tang Dynasty a chance to recuperate.

"Are you threatening the King of Qin?" A murderous aura flashed in Yuchi Jingde's eyes, and he looked at the four Turkic people and said, "If you Turkic people are impatient, you can give it a try!"

"Hmph, Tang is known as a country of etiquette. We, Jie Li Khan, did not expect to do such a fake as real thing. We, Jie Li Khan, was very angry. If Tang did not make compensation, my Turkic men, would never give up!"

"My Jie Li Khan's request is also very simple. After the Tang Dynasty, I would have to fight me with a Turkic fortune of more than ten thousand taels of gold and thirty thousand pieces of silk every year!"

"Little barbarians, dare to be arrogant in my Tang Dynasty! Let me take your dog head first!" Yuchi Jingde roared, pulled out a long sword with his right hand, trying to cut these four rude Turks into meat paste!

Du Ruhui, who was standing aside, spoke up and stopped him: "General Yuchi, don't be impulsive!"

Du Ruhui walked forward and pushed Yuchi Jingde's knife back into the sheath, signaling Yuchi Jingde not to be impulsive. Then he turned around and looked at the four Turkic people and asked, "Do you think the tribute is fake?"

"Not bad!" One of them pointed to the high table in front and said, "These gold ornaments are all filled with copper! Although the weight is the same, they are all fake! I, Jie Li Khan, are very angry about this!"

Du Ruhui said: "If you suspect that these jewelry are fake, it would be easy to deal with. We just need to disassemble all of these gold jewelry and you can tell whether it is true or not!"

"No! These jewelry were tributed to us by you. Without the orders of my Jie Li Khan, no one will be damaged at all!"

Cheng Yaojin, who was beside him, immediately became angry: "Ahhhhh! You barbarians are so arrogant! Look at me, Cheng, teach you a lesson! I want to see if it is my fist hard or your bones hard!"

Li Shimin shouted loudly: "General Cheng, stop!"

The matter is very important, and these Turks are obviously here to find fault. What tributes are fake and what violate the alliance are all excuses! Li Shimin understood that these people just wanted to find a reason to send troops.

If these four Turkic people really had something wrong in Chang'an, they would have given the Turks a reason to send troops!

These Turks came to the door on the pretext that the tribute was fake, but they did not allow the gold jewelry to be split, which was obviously making things difficult for them.

All the civil officials and generals of the Tiance Prefecture on the field were very angry, but they had to restrain themselves, because if the mistakes of the Tiance Prefecture led to the war between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, then Li Yuan would completely blame Li Shimin, and then Li Shimin was at an absolute disadvantage in the battle with Prince Li Jiancheng.
