Li Chengqian's actions not only infuriated Li Shiming, but also made Ashina Siyun and the other Turkic envoys reveal their fierce expressions, almost preparing to fight Li Chengqian in the hall.
Fortunately, Li Shiming's reprimand of Li Chengqian had given the Tuli envoy enough face, so Ashina Siyun could not say anything more and could only stare at Li Chengqian like a wolf.
"Imperial Father, your son only wanted to…"
Li Chengqian came to his senses and hurriedly explained.
Li Shiming reprimanded loudly again. Li Chengqian was helpless and could only lower his head and take a few steps back. The gloominess in his eyes became more obvious.
This final question concerned the survival of the Great Tang. If the Great Tang lost and gave up Longyou, the Turks would be able to march into the Great Tang and the prosperous Great Tang would cease to exist.
Looking at Fang Xuanling, who had his head lowered, and Du Ruhui, who had remained silent, and then at Wei Zheng, who was about to hit the pillar again, Li Shimin shook his head. He probably couldn't count on these civil officials who were usually eloquent.
Turning his head to look at the furious Qin Qiong, who would tear apart the Turkic envoy with a single order, the sorrowful Li Jing, and the slightly helpless Li Xiaogong…there was no hope for the generals.
At this point, Li Shiming could only place his bet on Ye Fan, who was still surprisingly calm at this moment.
Li Shi Min asked himself doubtfully, but he still said firmly.
"Ye Fan, answer me."
Ye Fan accepted the order and easily walked to the two Turkic envoys holding boxes.
"One person tells the truth, and the other person tells lies. Such questions have been answered since Guigu 'zi.”
"My emperor is benevolent and doesn't want to expose your little tricks so as not to embarrass you. The civil and military officials of the Great Tang naturally obey the Emperor's wishes, so they pretend not to know.”
"The King of Wei is pure by nature, so he naturally disdains such sophistry.”
"The Crown Prince is just teasing you.”
"Who knew that your Turkic envoy would be so incapable of taking a joke?”
"Brat, cut the crap. If you can answer this question, my Tuli Clan will belong to the Great Tang. If you can't answer it, hmph, hmph, I will immediately ask the Emperor of the Great Tang to bestow you, this pretentious brat, as my servant!”
Ye Fan smiled and retorted Ashina Siyun. Then, he pointed at one of the Turkic envoys wearing a black mask and holding a box in his hand.
"Is the box of lies empty?”
Ye Fan asked loudly.
The envoy thought for a while and nodded.
"Then it's you."
Ye Fan said and took out the box from the Turkic envoy.
When he opened it, the box was filled with gold... All the officials were pleasantly surprised. They wiped the sweat from their foreheads and hurriedly cheered for Ye Fan.
Li Shi Min also let out a sigh of relief and put down all his worries. He looked at Ye Fan with a smile. The Great Tang had won!
"Brat, this is impossible. How did you guess?”
Ashina Siyun still did not give up and asked angrily. The other Turkic envoys immediately began to weep. From this moment on, they had abandoned the steppe and their ancestors, becoming subjects of the Great Tang.
"It's very simple. Guigu 'zi's technique is far more profound than you can imagine.”
"I asked him, is the box of lies empty?”
Ye Fan pointed at the Turkic envoy he had just asked.
"If he's a person who speaks the truth, then the person opposite him is a liar. His nod meant yes, which meant that the box that he was lying to was indeed empty, and the full box was in his hand.”
After a few simple words of explanation, Li Shiming and the other officials understood, True, false, false, true. Ye Fan only added a setting and a rhetorical question in one sentence, and this so-called difficult problem was easily solved.
"Tuli Khagan…I, Ashina Siyun, have let you down, and I have let down the hundred thousand people of Tuli…"
The other envoys were also dejected, crying like children in the hall.
"Great Tang Emperor, our Turks value promises the most. The High Priest once told me that the Turks who don't keep their promises will suffer the wrath of the heavens, and after death, they will become wandering ghosts of the steppe…"
"So, from now on, the Tuli Tribe will belong to the Great Tang, and we will become the subjects of the Great Tang's Emperor…"
"Siyun only hopes that the Emperor of the Great Tang can be kinder and merciful to our Tuli Clan. Don't let our Tuli Clan become cannon fodder for the Great Tang to conquer the grasslands, and don't let us all become ghosts under the blade of the Jie Li Khan…"
"Great Tang Emperor, do you agree to Siyun's request?”
After crying for a long time, Ashina Siyun suddenly knelt down in the hall and begged Li Shiming with tears in his eyes.
Ashina Siyun kowtowed to Li Shiming, then suddenly stood up and slammed into the pillar beside Wei Zheng.
"Stop him!"
"No!"
Li Jing, Li Zhegong, and the others hurriedly rushed out from behind the small table. On the one hand, they were doing their best to stop Ashina Siyun, who wanted to die, and on the other hand, they were restraining the Turkic envoys to prevent them from attacking.
