"Demonstrate the dignity of the Great Tang…"
"I thought the same before, but there is a big problem!”
"How is this showing off the might of the Great Tang? Now, it seems that this method is too absurd!”
Li Er's expression turned serious as he swept his gaze across the three of them and shook his head.
Fang Xuanling and the other two were dumbfounded.
That's not what you said before!
But now, no matter how hard they racked their brains, they could not figure out what went wrong.
"Your Majesty, is there…something wrong?" Fang Xuanling asked cautiously.”
Li Er laughed and turned to Zhangsun Wuji."Ancestors, tell them where the problem is.”
Zhangsun Wuji quickly cupped his hands.”
He turned around and saw Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng looking at him. Zhangsun Wuji smiled."Three big shots, compared to the strength of the Tubo Empire and the Great Tang, who is stronger?”
" Of course!" Fang Xuanling replied naturally." It's definitely the Tang Empire that's stronger. Zhangsun Wuji, if you have something to say, say it quickly so that the three of us know where we went wrong!"”
"Yes, I originally thought that there was nothing wrong with this matter. Now that I heard His Majesty say it, it seems that everything is wrong.”
"I have the same idea."
Towards Zhangsun Wuji, the three of them did not hold back as they asked.
Moreover, this was clearly His Majesty trying to teach the three of them a lesson.
Why was that so?
Zhangsun Wuji stroked his beard and laughed."All of you are so vain. You only see what's in front of you, but you don't know how much trouble you will leave behind in the future!”
"Think about it. The Tubo Empire is currently weak and does not have enough food or warm clothes. Is that why they are paying their respects to the Great Tang and sending envoys?”
"If they win over the Tibetans like this and give them a large amount of resources and craftsmen, what will they do after a few years when the Tibetans develop?”
" Those who are not of our race must have different intentions. Tubo's land is barren, while Tang's land is fertile and flat…"
As Zhangsun Wuji spoke, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng understood the meaning behind his words.
At this moment, following Zhangsun Wuji's words, the three of them could not help but break out in cold sweat.
It wasn't that they hadn't thought of such a thing, but because they had different starting points, they didn't think too much about it.
As for the weak Tubo, wait for them to become powerful?
Who knows how many years later!
But this was indeed a huge hidden danger. The relationship between the Great Tang and the Tubo was not very harmonious to begin with. Now that the Tubo had sent the Tang envoy over, it was just a display of their inferior strength!
"Your Majesty, I know my mistake!"
"The Tubo has sent a diplomatic mission here in hopes of obtaining the technology and craftsmanship of our Great Tang. This subject also feels that we must guard against this!”
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who instantly understood, bowed to Li Er with slightly flushed faces.
At the same time, the two of them were both puzzled and embarrassed.
What was awkward was that these things were originally within their responsibilities, but they did not consider it thoroughly and missed out on such a huge matter!
What puzzled him was that His Majesty usually made decisions, but this time... why did he start to think about things for the first time?
Wei Zheng stood beside the two of them and opened his mouth. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
What should he say?
Just now, he was still advising the Emperor to prioritize the government. In the blink of an eye, not only himself, but even Fang and Du, who were extremely busy every day, had been beaten up. Was this ignoring the government?
Slap slap!
"Imperial Censor, what do you think?”Li Er looked at Wei Zheng with a smile.
"What? I think…Your Majesty is wise!"
Wei Zheng's expression was difficult. He finally managed to squeeze out a sentence, causing Li Er to laugh in his heart.
This old fellow is usually so happy to scold me, but today, he's finally been scolded by me. How comfortable!
Fang Xuanling also saw through Li Er's thoughts. He was sweating and asked,""Your Majesty, what about the next matter?”
Since he had seen through the intentions of the Tibetan diplomatic mission, what should he do next?
"Next…hmm…the next step is to focus on repairing the roads. The roads in Little Qin Village must be repaired as soon as possible.”
"Just follow the original plan for the Tibetan diplomatic mission, but there's no need to treat them too well. If necessary, we still need to give them a cold shoulder so that they can recognize their priorities!”
"As for the materials and craftsmen that were prepared to be given to the Tibetan diplomatic mission, leave all the craftsmen behind. The materials also have to be carefully divided. Those that have a great impact have also been left behind.”
Li Er said slowly.
Li Fei had unintentionally said these words, but Li Er remembered them all.
Everything had to be done in a certain way. Sometimes, it was not easy to achieve one's goal by just favoring and winning over others.
"This subject obeys the decree!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Usually, Li Er did not arrange these things. It was the ministers who thought of ways and presented them to Li Er for him to look over.
But this time, he had personally arranged it, which shocked Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.
His Majesty already had a plan in mind.
