Li Shi Min ordered.
The eunuch standing by the side immediately received the order and shouted at the voice of a spy,
"Summon the Turkic emissary!"
The Turkic emissary waiting at the door arrogantly walked into the hall.
The person who came was a barbaric man with a height of nine feet, a fierce face, and a body like an iron tower.
This brawny man was naturally the Turkic envoy, Batur. After he entered, he wore a contemptuous smile and didn't even glance at the officials in the hall.
His entire body exuded an air of superiority, completely disregarding Li Shiming and the officials of the Great Tang.
The ministers in the hall saw that Batur was so arrogant in the court that the Tang Emperor took him seriously.
All of them gritted their teeth in anger, but they did not dare to say anything. They could only glare at him fiercely.
Li Shi Min looked at Batur, and a trace of anger flashed across his face.
He was the Emperor of the Great Tang, yet he was being looked down upon by a foreign barbarian!
Seeing Li Shiming and the ministers gnashing their teeth, Batur became even more proud. He didn't kneel down, but cupped his hands proudly at Li Shiming and said,
"Turkic envoy Batur greets the Emperor of the Great Tang!”
After saying that, Batur boldly sized up Li Shiming with a provocative look.
Wei Zheng was usually a hot-tempered subject who obeyed the duties of a monarch and his subjects. Now that he saw Batur looking down on His Majesty, he said,
He could no longer endure the anger in his heart. He stood up aggressively and shouted at Batur,"
"Presumptuous! Batur, you actually didn't kneel before our Tang Emperor!”
When Batur heard this, he sneered and said disdainfully,"
"Hehe, I'm a Turkic envoy, not a subject of your Great Tang. Why should I kneel before your Emperor?”
"Besides, your Great Tang was only defeated by our Turkic envoy. What right do you have to make me kneel?”
Batur's tone was extremely arrogant. He stood in the hall with a completely superior attitude.
"You…"
When Wei Zheng heard this, he suddenly choked on the words he had prepared. He pointed at Batur with a trembling face and could not say a word.
When the ministers heard this, they all looked at Batur angrily, wishing they could swallow him alive!
Li Shi Min was also furious. His sharp eyes narrowed as he looked at Batur and asked coldly,"
"Hehe, may I know why the emissary has come to see me today?”
"Haha, I came here today to tell you the conditions of this peace negotiation!”
Batur waved his hand and said proudly.
"Oh? I wonder what conditions your country has proposed this time?”
Hearing that Batur was here for the peace talks, Li Shiming's face turned serious as he asked in a deep voice.
The ministers in the hall immediately quieted down and focused their gazes on Batur.
Batur chuckled and said arrogantly,"
"It's very simple. As long as the Great Tang marries ten princesses and marries our Turks, cede the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to us, and then bow to our Turks and pay tribute every year, it will be fine!”
"If you don't agree, the hundreds of thousands of elite Turkic soldiers will come and rob us!”
A threat, a blatant threat!
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire court was in an uproar!
"You want my Great Tang to bow down to you Turkic barbarians? Dream on!”
"Give up on this idea. You want our Great Tang to pay tribute to your Turks? What a joke!”
"Arrogant! Are you Turks bullying the Great Tang for having no one?”
……
When the officials in the hall heard this, their faces turned red with anger.
The generals in the main hall were especially furious, and their faces turned red as they began to curse at Batur.
For Batur to be so arrogant, wasn't he bullying the Great Tang for having no one?
As the generals of the Great Tang who protected the country, how could they not be angry?
However, after they finished cursing, the officials in the hall sighed again.
This was because they could do nothing about Batur. The Turks were now strong, and if they did not agree to his conditions, they would definitely send an army to invade the Great Tang.
When the two countries went to war, the people of the Great Tang would suffer.
Li Shi Min, who was sitting on the dragon throne, also clenched his fists tightly. His face was red as he glared at Batur. His eyes were so angry that they could spit fire. Batar's arrogant words were like a sharp knife that stabbed into his heart, making his heart bleed!
This was the greatest humiliation he had suffered since he ascended the throne!
Although he was extremely furious, he couldn't do anything to this Batur.
Seeing Li Shiming and the other ministers not daring to speak up, Batur became even more proud and said arrogantly,
"I'll only give you seven days to consider. If I don't receive a satisfactory answer after seven days, then we'll start the war!”
With that, Batur laughed and turned to leave.
His attitude was extremely arrogant!
