"How dare you! Why don't you kneel when you see my emperor?”
Wei Zheng slammed the table and stood up to berate her.
"Emperor of the Great Tang, we are envoys of Tuli Khagan. No matter what, we should be warmly welcomed by the people of the Great Tang…"
Ashina Siyun said angrily to Li Shiming, ignoring the signals from his companions behind him.
"Emperor of the Great Tang, the two countries are at war, yet you still haven't killed the envoy. We are envoys who came with peace and goodwill, yet we have been humiliated by the people of the Great Tang!”
" If the Emperor of the Tang Empire does not give us a satisfactory answer, we will leave Chang 'an tonight and never set foot in the Tang Empire again. Of course, our Tuli Khan will not talk to you about anything related to the Jie Khan…"
"How dare you! How dare you threaten the Emperor? Do you want the soldiers of the Great Tang to trample your Turkic steppe?”
"This one is just a bit puzzled. How could such a sturdy Turkic man like you be beaten to such a state by a thirteen-year-old kid of our Great Tang?”
"Or are you Turks only mighty on horseback, but once you get off your horses, you're like a herd of sheep waiting to be slaughtered?”
After teasing Ashina Siyun, Li Shimin looked at Ye Fan.
"Ye Fan, you were the one who hit him. You were the one who caused this. Tell me, how should we resolve this matter?”
Ye Fan stood up with a smile and walked to Ah Shina and the others.
Ashina Siyun only saw Ye Fan at this moment. She hurriedly took a step back in fear, but she was stopped by her companions behind her.
After walking around Ashina Siyun and the others, Ye Fan looked at Ashina Siyun.
"How about I beat you up again?"
"You, you dare? We're Turkic envoys. Besides, the Great Tang Emperor and so many other officials are here…"
Ashina Siyun said firmly, but her body took half a step back honestly.
Ye Fan's words were reasonable, making Ashina Siyun unable to refute.
"You don't know how to repent for your mistakes and even dare to be rude to the Son of Heaven. Do you not want the lives of your Turkic citizens?!”
This sentence made Ashina Siyun break out in cold sweat.
As a Turkic, he understood the current situation of the Turks the best. With the constant friction between the Tuli Khagan and the Jie Khagan, and the numerous small-scale skirmishes between the tribes, if the Tuli Khagan could not gain the support of the Great Tang, it would only take a few months for the Jie Khagan to slaughter them all.
Thinking of this, Ashina Siyun no longer had any arrogance to speak of.
Kneeling down with one leg facing Li Shiming, Ashina Siyun and the others gave Li Shiming a proper grassland salute.
"The envoys Ashina Siyun, Ashina Yunri, Ashina Sutian, Ashina Suwo De, and Ashina Gerel pay their respects to Your Majesty!”
Li Shi Min withdrew the cold light in his eyes and ordered with disdain.
Ashina Siyun and the others stood up, but they no longer had the arrogance they had when they first entered the palace. They stood there obediently, waiting for Li Shimin to deal with them.
"Take a seat. Today, I will do my best as a host to invite a few generals. We will talk about other matters in the future.”
Ye Fan had already pointed out the purpose of Ashina Siyun and the others. Li Shiming was not in a hurry. Fighting the Turks had long been in Li Shiming's plan. It was the same whether they had Tuli or not.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
Ashina Siyun and the others exchanged glances with each other in private. Then, they glared fiercely at Ye Fan and knelt down on the reserved seat on the left.
"The emperor has ordered a banquet!"
With this order, many beautiful palace maids came from the left and right sides with fine wine and delicacies, and placed the food on the small table in front of everyone.
The palace maids in the palace were all dressed in the same red dress, with two tulle shirts on the outside. When the palace maids bent down, the snow-white chest area was clearly visible.
Ashina Siyun, who was like a pig's head, wanted to open his eyes to see more clearly. Suddenly, he thought of Ye Fan's two heavy slaps last night. He quickly lowered his head and did not dare to peek.
Good wine and good food, how could they not be accompanied by singing and dancing?
After a while, twelve palace maids with long sleeves and good dancing skills walked in. With the melodious jingle of the musicians, they began to dance the graceful dance that would shock future generations.
There were fine wine, delicacies, and beautiful women dancing. Fang Xuanling and the others naturally drank and laughed. Even Li Shimin, who was high and mighty, drank a few glasses of wine.
Originally, he had relied on the fact that the Tang Empire did not know the true situation and had used his status as a Turkic envoy to fight for more benefits for the Tuli Khagan and his people.
But now, the five of them had almost become the main culprits in disrupting the negotiations between the Tuli Khagan and the Great Tang. If this were to reach the ears of the Tuli Khagan, he would definitely be severely punished.
However, since he was here, he would fight for as many benefits as he could for the tribe. Moreover, he had three difficult questions from the High Priest of the tribe. How could he not make things difficult for the Tang people?
