Chapter 203 Killing two birds with one stone, the condition improves
Outside the government office.

Xu Qizhuang looked at Su Chen and the others with a smile on his face.

“It’s just that Lord Lu asked me to come over to ask a few questions. It’s nothing serious.”

Xu Hui glared at Xu Qizhuang. Is it up to you to decide whether something will happen?

after all.

Lu Dongzan and his men represent Tubo.

“Su Chen?”

Lu Dongzan walked out of the government office with Zhabu and his eyes fell on Su Chen.

Zabu stared at Su Chen coldly and said, “You are the boss of Tianxia Newspaper. Did you ask him to do this?”

Su Chen smiled and said, “It’s not a good habit to question someone as soon as you meet them.”

Zabu said coldly: “It’s better than some people who don’t follow the moral code of the game, play tricks with words, and harm others, right?”

“If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price, right?”

Su Chen smiled calmly, “I’ve heard of the great reputation of the Tibetan Prime Minister for a long time, but I didn’t expect that he would call my useless brother to the government office for a confrontation just for some silver.”

Lu Dongzan laughed in silence, “Some silver? Master Su, that sounds so easy.”

Of course.

Have you got all the money?

Xu Qizhuang chuckled and said, “Are you two going to pester me again?”

Lu Dongzan didn’t even look at him, but asked with some doubt: “I have a question in my mind, please answer it, Master Su.”

“why?”

Su Chen smiled and said, “I am not a teacher, and you are not my student, so why should I solve the doubts in your heart?”

Lu Dongzan: “…”

“gone.”

Su Chen smiled and patted Xu Qizhuang’s shoulder, and the group turned and left.

Lu Dongzan’s eyes turned a little bit colder, Kuang Sheng!

Zabu lowered his voice and said, “Prime Minister, do you want me to…”

“This is Chang’an City.”

Lu Dongzan said slowly, “Go wake up Mu Chi, I have something I want to clarify.”

……

After the court was over, Li Chengqian walked to Li Daozong with a smile, “Uncle Wang, would you like to come with us?”

Li Daozong nodded.

The two walked side by side. Li Chengqian smiled and took out a newspaper from his sleeve and handed it to Li Daozon.

“Uncle Wang, you can rest assured this time. Tubo will not have the face to propose marriage to you in the future.”

“Oh?”

Li Daozon took the newspaper out of curiosity and was immediately stunned by the picture of playing with sheep.

People can’t, or at least shouldn’t, do that.

“Is this Muchi?”

Li Daozon asked with some uncertainty.

Li Chengqian nodded, “Mu Chi went to the brothel yesterday to have fun, but because he took aphrodisiac drugs, he mistook these sheep for girls…”

Li Chengqian stopped there, and Li Daozon understood, and couldn’t help but feel a chill.

This is too disgusting, isn’t it?
This time, not only did Mu Chi lose all his face, but even Tubo’s face was thrown to the ground by him.

In this regard, Li Daozon just wanted to say one thing: well done.

When Li Daozon handed the files of the Tibetan envoy to Su Chen, he guessed that he would take action.

But no one expected that Su Chen would use this method.

Everything seems normal, but there is an inexplicable weirdness. Maybe the aphrodisiac was also the work of Su Chen.

“I also congratulate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”

Li Dao Zong put away the newspaper with a smile, “Now, both the envoys and the reputation of Tubo have been greatly affected this time.”

“If Tubo wants to ask for marriage again, we have enough reasons to refuse them. At the same time, they will lose the reason to start a war at the border.”

Li Chengqian smiled and nodded, “Uncle Wang is right.”

Without the Mu Chi incident, it would have been difficult for Li Daozon and Li Chengqian to handle Tubo’s marriage proposal.

Even though he had openly opposed this matter, the presence of Tibetan troops at the border made him have to be vigilant.

now.

Mu Chi’s despicable behavior not only ruined his own reputation, but also the reputation of the envoys and Tubo.

If they proposed marriage again, Li Daozon had every legitimate and appropriate reason to refuse.

As a result, they lost an opportunity to take the initiative.

As the saying goes, a teacher has a legitimate reason.

It’s impossible that Tubo would send an army to attack the border out of anger just because its envoy did such a despicable thing, which led to its proposal of marriage being rejected?
If Tubo really did this, it would instantly arouse the fighting spirit of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

If you come here honestly to propose marriage, we can discuss whether we agree or not. But your people are messing around right under our noses, and you still want us to agree to the proposal? If we don’t agree, you’re going to send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty?

Do you think the Tang Dynasty is made of clay?

“If there is anything I don’t understand or something I haven’t done thoughtfully in the future, please remind me, Uncle Wang.”

Li Chengqian looked at Li Dao Zong with a smile. After a brief hesitation, Li Dao Zong nodded and said, “Your Highness is too polite.”

“Uncle Wang, take care.”

“Prince, please stay.”

Li Daozon bowed and strode away.

Li Chengqian smiled and clenched his fists, Su Chen, well done.

This killed two birds with one stone. Not only did it put an end to Tubo’s desire to continue the marriage alliance, but it also brought Li Daozon into their camp.

With the help of Li Xiaogong and his group, Li Chengqian felt that the throne was beckoning to him.

Even if we go up and sit down now, it shouldn’t be a big problem.

“Your Highness, Princess Changle has sent someone to deliver a message. Please come over.”

“Oh?”

Li Chengqian’s face straightened, “Prepare the car!”

After a while.

A carriage brought Li Chengqian to the princess’s residence. “His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived…”

Li Chengqian strode in and saw Sun Simiao and the others were all present. He looked at Princess Changle on the bed and said with joy, “Lizhi, are you feeling better?”

“Brother Prince.”

Princess Changle nodded with a faint smile on her face. She looked much better than before. “If it weren’t for my brother, the Crown Prince, I would have difficulty sitting up.”

“Why do you have to say this between you and me, brother and sister?”

Li Chengqian waved his hand, turned his gaze to Sun Simiao and said, “Old Sun, is there any way to cure Li Zhi’s qi disease?”

Sun Simiao stroked his beard and smiled, “The reason why I asked His Royal Highness to come here is because of this matter.”

“I have a list here. I would like to ask Your Highness to help me find some medicine. If I can find it, I will be 80% sure that Princess Changle will recover.”

“it is good!”

Li Chengqian immediately took the list of medicinal materials and felt overwhelmed at a glance, as many of the things he had never seen before.

Chang Sun Chong said softly, “Your Highness, many of the herbs here are very rare. I have ordered people to look for them, but I am afraid there may be some missing…”

Li Chengqian glanced at him and said, “Even if these herbs are in the sky, I will send people to pick them down!”

Chang Sun Chong bowed deeply, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

Li Chengqian waved his hand, “Hegan Chengji, take the list and go find the medicine!”

“Yes!”

Hegan Chengji immediately took the list and left.

Li Chengqian sat beside the bed, looked at Princess Changle, who was rarely in good spirits, and rubbed her head. “I have already ordered people to find medicinal herbs. You should take good care of yourself. When you get better and recover, I will take you on an outing to catch butterflies.”

“Brother Crown Prince, do you still think I’m a child?”

Princess Changle smiled playfully, “I am not Xiao Sizi and the others.”

Li Chengqian laughed, “Yes, you should have a good rest, and we will go out and talk.”

Li Chengqian glanced at Changsun Chong and left the room first.

Chang Sun Chong and others followed.

“Now that Li Zhi’s condition has improved, I hope she will continue to get better. Captain Changsun, do you understand?”

“Wei Chen understands.”

Li Chengqian nodded and said, “If Li Zhi needs anything that you don’t have here, you can send someone to come to the East Palace to look for me.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

Chang Sun Chong thanked him again.

Li Chengqian smiled, looked at Sun Simiao and bowed, “I’ll leave this matter to you, Elder Sun.”

Sun Simiao hurriedly dodged, “Your Highness, you are too serious.”

Li Chengqian shook his head, “Old Sun, you cured Li Zhi, which means you cured me. This is a grace that saved my life, and I deserve it.”

“Now that Li Zhi’s health has improved, I will also go back to write a letter and send it to Jiucheng Palace.”

“Take good care of Lizzie.”

Li Chengqian patted Changsun Chong on the shoulder and strode away.

“Prince, walk slowly.”

After returning to the Eastern Palace, Li Chengqian couldn’t wait to write a letter home.

It also records how Su Chen worked hard to find the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Disorders, how he severely punished the Weng family, and how Sun Simiao studied the medical book painstakingly and successfully cured Princess Changle’s condition.

After checking to make sure it was correct, he blew away the ink on it and stuffed it into the envelope.

“Zhang Siwen.”

“What do you want, Your Highness?”

“You must immediately select a fast horse and deliver this letter to Jiucheng Palace and personally hand it over to His Majesty.”

“Yes.”

Zhang Siwen nodded and left.

Li Chengqian picked up the teacup and took a sip. Now everything was moving in a good direction.

“Wang Chong.”

“What are your orders, His Royal Highness?”

“Prepare the car and go to the Prince’s Residence.”

……

West Market.

Roshan.

Facing Su Chen’s sudden visit, Roshan stood up to greet him with a smile on his face.

“Mr. Su, why do you have time to come to my place today?”

“I heard that you had returned from Persia, so I came to see you.”

Su Chen said casually, and then sat opposite Roshan, “Is the business in Persia going well?”

Roshan smiled and said, “Thank you for your concern, Master Su. Everything is fine.”

Su Chen nodded and said casually: “Do you have any business channels in Tianzhu Dashi Kingdom?”

Roshan smiled and said, “That’s natural. Although it’s not much, it can still deliver some goods.”

“That’s fine.”

Su Chen took out a ball of cotton from his sleeve and placed it in front of Roshan, “Do you recognize this?”

“Jin…”

Roshan spoke subconsciously, but after a careful inspection, he asked in confusion: “Isn’t this cotton produced in India and the Arab Empire?”

Su Chen smiled and nodded, “I hope you can help me with the channels in Tianzhu and Dashi Kingdom and send some cotton over.”

Luo Shan looked puzzled. “There are many places in the Tang Dynasty where this plant is grown. Why did Master Su go to a place far away?”

“Because there are too few planting areas to form an effective production chain, I need you to send me some.”

Su Chen smiled and said, “I’ll take as many as I can get. You decide the price.”

“If you have some high-quality seeds, you can bring them back as well. I won’t treat you unfairly.”

Roshan laughed and said, “I thought it was some big deal.”

“It just so happens that I need Mr. Su to provide me with a batch of soap to send to Persia. When the time comes, I will arrange for these people to unload the soap, then buy the cotton and ship it back. How about that?”

“no problem.”

ps: Cotton comes from “Book of Song”. Before the Song Dynasty, there was only brocade, and there was no cotton with the wood radical. Cotton originated from India and Arabia, and can be traced back to the first century AD. It was mostly planted in frontier areas, but it was widely planted during the Song and Yuan Dynasties.
