"What is it? How many Tibetans had beaten this brat up?”
Hearing this, everyone in Taiji Palace, including Li Shimin, was stunned.
"That's right. The Border Guardian Marquis even threatened that if the Tubo people were not honest in the capital in the future, he would bring the 18 cavalry of Yan Yun and trample on the Tubo people!”The governor said.
"What is it? You want to flatten Tibet?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
The Tibetans were now quite powerful, and they were rapidly expanding every year. They had already become a major threat to the Great Tang.
In this situation, the most important thing for the Tang Dynasty to do was to first settle the internal affairs and not the outside.
Their greatest enemy was not the Tibetans, but the Turkic barbarians.
Only by stabilizing the Tibetans would he have extra energy to fight a long war with the Turkic barbarians.
This was also the main reason why the Tubo people could do whatever they wanted in Chang 'an.
If he didn't want to repair the relationship between the two sides, with Li Shiming's character, how could he let them do whatever they wanted? Turn a blind eye?
"Sigh, this border guard marquis is really young and impetuous. How can he say such words? If these words spread to the Tibetan side, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble!”Du Ruhui said.
"What are you afraid of? If we fight, we will fight. If the Tibetans really dare to do anything, I, Old Cheng, am willing to lead the army to attack them again!”Cheng Yaojin said disdainfully.
Old Cheng was also a genuine person. He had long disliked those Tubo people who were showing off in Chang 'an.
If not for his identity, he would have more concerns.
Taking ten thousand steps back, if he was ten or twenty years younger, he would have done something as impulsive as Mu Chen.
Furthermore, Mu Chen had the ability to intimidate the Turkic barbarians with the 18 cavalry of Yan Yun. They would not dare to appear for a few months.
The Tibetans were still far from reaching the power of the Turks.
"Your Majesty, how should we deal with this matter? Should we hand it over to the Supreme Court?" The governor said softly.
This case was neither big nor small.
To put it simply, it was a street brawl, and the person in charge was the newly appointed border guard marquis, who had a high position.
To put it more seriously, this was a major event that would destroy the friendship between the two sides. If the Tibetans were unhappy and took this opportunity to send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, the nature of the situation would completely change.
If Li Shi Min really cared about this matter, with Mu Chen's current status as a Marquis, he should have handed it over to the Judicial Office.
However, just as they were all staring at Li Shiming, waiting for him to deal with this matter…
Li Shi Min burst out laughing,"Why bother the Court of Judicial Review for such a trivial matter? Besides, the Border Guardian Marquis did not do anything wrong. If I blindly curry favor with the barbarians and blame the meritorious officials of the Great Tang, wouldn't I be a joke to outsiders? There was no need to take it to heart. Other than that, the Tubo people had to be dealt with according to the law. This was the Great Tang, an important place in Jingdou. How could those barbarians come here to do whatever they wanted?”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
At the same time, he secretly admired Li Shiming's decision. This was a typical case of protecting his son.
"This subject obeys the decree!" When the governor heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He had come to the palace to talk about this matter, and it was nothing more than a routine matter. After all, Mu Chen was not an ordinary person, and he, a mere Governor of the capital city, was unable to make such a big decision.
Now that Li Shi Min had given the answer, he naturally wouldn't be too troubled.
When the capital governor left Taiji Palace, Old Cheng started laughing loudly.
" Your Majesty, you're wise and mighty. I'm also convinced, hahaha," Cheng Yaojin said.
Hearing this, Li Shimin shook his head with a bitter smile,""State Duke Lu, now is not the time to pat your horse and run away. The most important thing now is how to plant the sweet potatoes.”
"State Duke Cai, State Duke Liang, from today onwards, the two of you will do your best to supervise this matter. Two months is neither long nor short. Once there is any progress, report it quickly!”
"We obey your orders!"
After everything was arranged, Cheng Yaojin, Du Ruhui, and the others left.
**********
At the border guard manor.
The news of Mu Chen beating up the Tibetans quickly spread throughout the city.
As the saying goes, good news never leaves the house, but bad news travels thousands of miles.
It had only been a short while, but it had become a household name.
"Brother Mu Chen, I wasn't there at that time. Otherwise, I would have beaten those Tibetans until they peed their pants and ran away with their tails between their legs!”Cheng Chumo said.
After they received the news, they all came to the marquis 'manor.
"That's right, that's right. Those Tubo barbarians are too arrogant and have long been an eyesore. I was just thinking of finding an opportunity to teach them a good lesson, but I didn't expect Lord Marquis to beat me to it!”Cheng Chuliang said with a smile.
The two brothers of the Cheng family did not inherit anything else from Cheng Yaojin. Instead, they had mastered the ability to talk glibly and brag.
"If we meet them again, I'll bring all of you to have a good time." Mu Chen smiled.”
"What? This…"
Hearing this, the two brothers were dumbfounded.
They could not be compared to Mu Chen, who was an illustrious hero of the Great Tang. Even Emperor Li Shimin had to be polite in front of him.
The two of them were only captains in the military camp.
If he really did this, he would inevitably have to bear the responsibility.
They could still clearly distinguish which was more important.
In fact, Mu Chen was just joking. He did not have many friends in Chang 'an.
Only the two brothers of the Cheng family were the closest to him, and they were about the same age as him.
"Oh right, I heard that in a few days, the Tibetan delegation will be coming to Chang 'an to pay tribute again. But this time, I heard that they don't come with good intentions!”Cheng Chumo said.
"Oh? How so?" Mu Chen was stunned.
"I heard that the tributes they brought this time are very different from the past. In addition, their trip this time is not as simple as paying tribute on the surface. I'm afraid they want to…"
"Sigh, the matters of the country are naturally handled by Father and His Majesty. We only need to follow orders.”
Before Cheng Chuliang could finish, Cheng Chumo interrupted him.
There was also a big difference in the personalities of these two brothers.
Cheng Chumo was careless and good at fighting.
Cheng Chuliang was more cautious and scheming.
However, after interacting with them for many days, Mu Chen had a good impression of them.
In the end, just as they were chatting.
A fragrant smell assailed their noses. Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang raised their noses and sniffed, almost drooling.
"What is it? It's actually so fragrant?"
!!!!! I beg for all support!
