"You bastards, all of you, get out of here."
As the Prime Minister of Tubo, Lu Dongzan has absolute power in Tubo and is considered the most powerful official in Tubo. However, his power seems to be misplaced. If it were in your Tubo country, you can say whatever you want, but this is Chang'an City. If you speak like this, you will offend everyone in the Imperial City Office outside.
"Prime Minister, we have concrete evidence that your men are harming our ministers. Therefore, according to the orders of our Crown Prince, we must search the guild hall. This is the official document from the Imperial City Bureau."
When Lu Xiugang came in, he was thinking about making a big deal out of a small matter. After all, this matter was Li Xiang's sudden idea, so we just need to deal with it. But as soon as he entered the door, he heard Lu Dongzan cursing.
When has our great Tang Dynasty ever suffered such a loss? Moreover, we have just won a victory over Tuyuhun and our territory has expanded a lot. We have never seen how powerful you Tubo are. Do you think you can run wild in Chang'an City?
"I don't care where these documents come from. This is the Tibetan Guild Hall. If you want to search, bring the evidence to me. If you don't have any evidence, get out of here. Tomorrow I will personally meet with His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
Lu Dongzan said this angrily. When he said this, Lu Xiugang was also observing from the side. He found that the Prime Minister's expression was impeccable. It seemed that there was really nothing wrong here. But if we leave if you say this, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?
"roll!"
Seeing that Lu Xiugang didn't move, Lu Dongzan threw the document in his face. This was a very insulting gesture. Lu Dongzan had been in Tubo for a long time, so he forgot that this was the Tang Dynasty. When he was in Tubo, he could do whatever he wanted, but after arriving in the Tang Dynasty...
"How dare you attack an official of my court, not even the Prime Minister of Tubo! Capture him!"
Lu Xiugang's men were also very angry, but they would not take any action before receiving orders from their superiors. Unexpectedly, Li Xiang's voice came from the door. He saw the scene just now very clearly, and he was waiting here for a moment. Anyway, today's task is to make chaos here. I will make you get rid of all your people, and in the end I will make sure you can't find an excuse to start a war.
Attack?
Listening to what Li Xiang had just said, Lu Dongzan didn't understand how he had offended Li Xiang. Although there had been strong murderous intentions between the two since they met, he didn't expect to meet under such circumstances.
"That's called an attack?"
Lu Dongzan said in disbelief, throwing a piece of paper at someone's face is at most an insulting act. Your people rushed into our guild hall, so is it wrong for me to do this?
"Maybe not in your Tubo, but in our Tang Dynasty, the dignity of the court is above all else, and the court officials are the face of the court. If we don't investigate this, how will we gain a foothold among the people tomorrow? Take them all away."
At Li Xiang's command, no one in the Imperial City Office took any action. Although they were also people exchanged by Li Xiang from the system, they had to look at Lu Xiugang's face. This was also a temporary order given by Li Xiang to paralyze Li Shimin.
But it didn't matter to the guards under Li Xiang. After hearing Li Xiang's order, they immediately drew their swords and rushed forward. Just now on the way, more than 300 guards from the East Palace came to support them. Even though Lu Dongzan's men were strong in manpower, they seemed a little at a loss when facing these people.
"Your Highness, this cannot be done this way..."
Lu Xiu was also very angry just now. As the commander of the Imperial City Office, he was a top figure in the entire court. You just threw this piece of paper in my face. It was indeed a humiliation. But the person in front of him was the Prime Minister of Tubo. If he was arrested for such a small matter, who would take responsibility if the two countries really fought on the battlefield in the future?
"waste."
Li Xiang's words almost brought tears to Lü Xiugang's eyes. Didn't he want to capture this guy? But you have to look at who he is, and you also have to look at who the Tubo Kingdom is. You have captured the Tuyuhun prince, but are Tuyuhun and Tubo on the same level?
"Protect the Prime Minister."
The Tibetan warriors were not here to sit around and do nothing. They came to Chang'an from faraway Tibet with only one mission, which was to protect Lu Dongzan's safety. If they allowed the Tang people to take Lu Dongzan away while they were all intact, then they would be derelict in their duty.
"Wait..."
Seeing that both sides were about to fight, Li Xiang's mouth curled up slightly. He felt that he had finally gotten rid of his anger today. Even if he couldn't do anything to Lu Dongzan, being able to kill some of your guards would serve as a warning to you.
Who knew that Lu Dongzan's mind was so quick, and he certainly understood that in this situation his men would not gain any advantage. His men only had swords, guns, sticks and clubs, but Li Xiang's men were all holding crossbows. If a conflict broke out at such a close distance, the only ones who would die would be the Tibetans.
"This Prime Minister has nothing to hide. Search as you wish. I can go with you to the Imperial City Office, but let me be frank. If you find nothing, don't blame me for being rude. Tomorrow in the Golden Palace, the Tubo Kingdom must make it clear."
After Lu Dongzan finished speaking, he walked out with his hands behind his back. Li Xiang really admired this guy. After all, he was the Prime Minister of Tubo Kingdom, and he had a clear understanding of this matter. Not to mention that there was no evidence now, even if there was evidence, Li Xiang could not do anything about it. It was still the same sentence: the Tang Dynasty did not dare to go to war with Tubo, and Tubo did not dare to go to war with the Tang Dynasty either. As long as you can understand this sentence, you can do anything.
"search."
Li Xiang looked up at the Tubo Guild Hall. Compared with the Tuyuhun Guild Hall, this one seemed relatively simple, but Li Xiang understood this truth: as long as it was a foreign guild hall in Chang'an, as long as you searched it carefully, you would definitely find some abnormal things in it.
Only then did Lu Xiugang wave his hand, and his men began a massive search. The Tibetan warriors were standing outside the courtyard, behind Lu Dongzan, their eyes almost blazing with anger. But this was the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Xiang could use his power to oppress others. If you ever go to Tibet, he would make you suffer humiliation...
