Li Yuanchang was speechless, furious, and felt like vomiting blood!

The envoy for the marriage alliance changed from the Prince of Huaiyang to the Prince of Han. He thought history had changed, but it turned out to be a complete reversal.

Historically, it was because the Prince of Huaiyang, while drunk, let slip that the Tuyuhun rebellion had taken place, and upon his return, Li Shimin severely punished him.

But Li Yuanchang didn't let it slip!

Wasn't it said that Tuyuhun couldn't possibly know? Li Shimin has really tricked him this time.

The surroundings were eerily quiet at that moment.

Li Yuanchang was forced to come out and refute.

But at that moment, Murong Khan spoke first, decisively: "Nonsense!"

"Princess Honghua is Princess Honghua, how could she be fake!"

"The Heavenly Khan's edict has already forged a marriage alliance with me!"

Seeing this, Li Yuanchang's expression changed slightly, realizing that the other party was considering the overall situation.

Upon hearing this, Zhalunuo angrily retorted, "Khan, she is not Li Shimin's daughter at all; she is merely a member of the imperial clan. You are deceiving yourself!"

"How can you expect to gain the respect of the people if you act like this?"

"The Tang Dynasty humiliated Tuyuhun, and the Khan still tries to defend himself. Are you so afraid of the Tang Dynasty?!"

"Insolence!!" Murong Khan roared.

"You're rebelling, yet you dare to spout such nonsense!"

"Guards! Execute the rebels led by Zhalunuo immediately! Hang their bodies in the city as a warning to others!"

"yes!"

Immediately, a close confidant of Murong Khan stepped forward.

"Khan!"

"Khan!"

"I'm doing this for the good of Tuyuhun!"

"You are not worthy to be Khan!"

"You are nothing but a lackey of the Tang Dynasty!" the rebels shouted angrily.

Murong Khan was even more enraged and urged the execution.

"Wait!" Li Yuanchang, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.

"King of Han, don't worry about it. They must be executed, or they will cause chaos!" Murong Khan frowned and reminded him in a low voice.

He probably knew that Princess Honghua was a member of the imperial family, but he still chose to accept her.

Li Yuanchang's eyes held a hint of apology. Although deceiving was inappropriate, it was Li Shimin's will, and he couldn't change it.

"Khan, don't rush."

"Don't you find it strange?"

"How did he know these rumors, and how did he dare to bypass you and attempt an assassination?"

"Including his slanderous remarks about you, doesn't it seem like he's being used as a pawn?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Khan's expression changed slightly. He exchanged a glance with Li Yuanchang, and everything was understood without being said.

Li Yuanchang stepped forward and approached Zhalunuo: "Who told you all this? And who is trying to sow discord between the Tang Dynasty and Tuyuhun?"

Zhalun struggled and spat out a mouthful of disgust.

"This treacherous dog of the Tang Dynasty deserves to be killed by everyone!"

"You're conspiring with him to enslave Tuyuhun? Dream on!"

"I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

"Tuyuhun will never be slaves of the Tang Dynasty!" he roared, his expression crazed.

Li Yuanchang's eyes were cold. He was yet another anti-Tang. He casually wiped the dirt off his clothes.

You only have this one chance to explain.

"A marriage alliance is inevitable, and no one can stop it."

"Pah!" Zhalunuo spat again, his attitude firm.

Murong Khan was furious. He saw marriage alliance as the way out for Tuyuhun, but the successive assassination attempts made him lose all face.

This is not just about the marriage alliance, but also about him, the Khan.

"very good."

"Even if you don't tell, I will find out. You wait down there, waiting for all of you rebels to come down one after another." Li Yuanchang finished speaking, stood up, and gave a look.

Murong Khan nodded as well.

The guards of the Tuyuhun king drew their swords.

Zhalunuo and his men angrily cursed, "You treacherous dogs of the Great Tang!"

"And you coward!!"

"Lackeys of the Tang Dynasty!"

"None of you will live!"

"Great Tang Han King, you can't escape Tuyuhun..."

Puff puff puff puff!

The roars and curses abruptly ceased, and more than a dozen heads rolled on the ground, the headless corpses continuously spurting blood.

The coup attempt has come to a complete end.

But what was left for Li Yuanchang was an even more thorny problem: even if Murong Khan was generous enough, how could the hatred and crisis of trust between the Tang Dynasty and Tuyuhun be resolved?

This conflict appears to stem from Princess Honghua's status as a member of the imperial family. The Tuyuhun military personnel felt insulted and subsequently staged a mutiny.

But in reality, it was clear that a large number of anti-Tang forces were at work.

As the envoy sent to negotiate a marriage alliance, Li Yuanchang had actually become the person at the center of the storm.

The site is now in its final stages.

Li Yuanchang found Murong Khan.

"Khan".

"Your Highness."

Both of them looked guilty.

"Khan, there is no need for further words. The fault does not lie with you. The affairs of Tuyuhun are the affairs of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty will never allow the existence of any rebellious forces."

"I suggest that the Khan immediately mobilize the army, first blockade Fu'ai City to ensure its safety, and await His Majesty's decree."

"After all, the last assassination attempt hasn't been fully investigated yet, and now they've come again. They even dare to disregard the Khan, which shows that they already have the confidence to take his place."

Li Yuanchang was extremely solemn, already sensing the impending turmoil.

Upon hearing this, Murong Khan's expression hardened. Although he was young and came from a nomadic tribe, he was not stupid; otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to explain earlier.

"The King of Han is absolutely right!"

"Ben Khan immediately ordered the entire city sealed off and personnel replaced."

"Also, Khan, your palace needs to be cleaned. Just before the coup, a palace maid attempted to assassinate me," Li Yuanchang said.

"what?"

Murong Khan was shocked, his eyes widening.

Li Yuanchang nodded.

Murong Khan's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth: "Who on earth is behind this?!"

"Your Highness, although the palace maid was sent by me, the assassination attempt was definitely not my doing!"

He explained seriously.

He was more clear-headed than these fanatics. If anything happened to Li Yuanchang and Princess Honghua, the entire Tuyuhun would be plunged into chaos and death.

Li Yuanchang patted him on the shoulder: "Khan, I know, otherwise you wouldn't be on the side of the Tang Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Murong Khan breathed a sigh of relief, but the fatigue on his face was undeniable.

He sighed, "I know that marriage alliances can bring peace and prosperity, but there are always those who try to instigate wars, sacrificing the lives of countless people for their own selfish gain!"

Li Yuanchang gave him a look of considerable appreciation.

Objectively speaking, Murong Khan's choice was correct. During this period, anyone who encountered the Tang Dynasty would be destroyed. Whether they were princesses or women of the imperial family, as long as they married, they could receive protection and cultural transmission.

To put it bluntly, Tuyuhun didn't even have a few decent craftsmen.

"Khan, now is not the time to be discouraged."

Many years later, someone will understand you and be grateful to you.

"The wedding is in three days. I have a premonition that something bad might happen. You should immediately impose martial law on the entire city."

"Before I came here, I had already reported the assassination attempt to Chang'an. His Majesty should be able to react in time."

"We also hope that the situation in Tuyuhun will not deteriorate so quickly."

"Good!" Murong Khan nodded emphatically.
