Datang: At the beginning, Princess Wencheng was robbed

Chapter 32
The matter of making an oath with Tubo is not Li Er's business alone.

therefore……

Soon Li Er also summoned all the prime ministers.

Then specifically address that question and see what other people think.

At this moment, Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Cen Wenwen, Yang Shidao, Hou Junji and others were all on the list.

Of course, there are only one or two who are really responsible for speaking.

For example, Wei Zheng, an old man, said plainly:
"These barbarians and barbarians have always been capricious. I'm afraid this oath may be fraudulent."

"only……"

"If you can really rely on this, it will be a good thing to make the people of Datang peaceful."

Wei Zheng has always insisted on the "useless" theory of foreign lands.

Moreover, he opposed moving foreigners into the interior for resettlement.

The ethnic policy is relatively conservative, as long as you don't bother me.

But like Fang Xuanling, it would be best if he could not fight.

And Fang Xuanling also said: "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been continuous conquests on the frontier. If you can get peace in exchange for just an oath, I think you can give it a try. What's more, even the princess is not needed now."

But Hou Junji said: "I'm afraid it's just pretending to make an oath, secretly waiting for us to relax our vigilance and carry out a sneak attack."

"This person named Wei Yan, no one knows whether he can be trusted or not."

Yup!

Everyone felt that Wei Yan was too suspicious.

Never heard the man's name before.

I don't know where he came from.

On the contrary, Gao Shilian said: "The request from above says that the two sides should open up places where they can trade with each other. I don't think there is a problem with that."

"But the other party is only allowed to build a stone fort on Riyue Mountain, but we can't. I can't accept this."

Cen Wenwen: "If that's the case, then the other party wants to hit us, so they hit us, and we can only be beaten passively."

But it's a negotiation.

This is generally the case.

First offer a condition that the other party cannot accept.

Then the two sides chat slowly.

In response to Cen Wenwen's words, Hou Junji said: "I feel that the other side simply doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth. If Tubo really wants to fight, then I implore Your Majesty to let me lead troops to destroy Tubo."

Mie Mie Mie, Fang Xuanling thought, is it easy for me to be the left servant?

Where did you get the money for your expedition?

Seeing that there were still people left silent, Li Er said, "What do you think, Changsun Wuji?"

Changsun Wuji almost lost his emperor's heart before, but luckily His Majesty didn't say anything in the end, now he just wants to keep a low profile.

But since I have asked myself, I can't say nothing.

He then said: "The source of all this lies in that Wei Yan."

"I thought that only by knowing the other party's intentions can we know whether this oath is feasible or not."

Master Yang said: "I also feel that Changsun Wuji is right."

Yang Shidao continued: "This person first snatched away Princess Wencheng, and then he quelled the rebellion in Tuyuhun with his own strength. After that, instead of hiding, he invited Tubo Zanpu to carry out a ceremony on the south bank of the Daotang River alone. negotiation."

"I think, in terms of courage, this person can be said to be No. 1 in the world."

Hou Junji sneered, because he felt that the memorial that Xi Jun bought was too exaggerated and a bit unbelievable.

of course!

If you say that Mr. Xi colluded with Wei Yan, and Wei Yan colluded with Tubo.

That must be unreasonable.

After all, Wei Yan became so ruthless that he even dared to snatch the princess of Tang Dynasty who Tubo Zanpu was going to marry.

You said Tubo would arrange for Wei Yan to do this?

But will it be betrayed later?
Yang Shidao guessed: "Although he was a horse bandit, he was aboveboard in his previous actions, but later, since he wanted to facilitate this matter, he would inevitably give Tubo Zanpu some benefits." What Yang Shidao meant was that , Wei Yan is very likely to betray Datang's interests in the process.

If it were a proposal made by such a person, should they accept it?

With Wei Yan's performance before and after, have you seen a little villain's behavior again?

In order to prevent Tubo Zanpu from killing him, he went to negotiate with Tubo Zanpu.

The condition is almost to let Datang cede the land.

Moreover, Riyue Mountain is too important, it is an important entrance to Tuyuhun, if Tubo is occupied, they may even lose contact with Tuyuhun directly.

Yang Shidao felt that the conditions of the oath may not have been written by Wei Yan, but he definitely backed down and betrayed Datang in exchange for something beneficial to him.

After hearing this, Li Er felt that Yang Shidao's words made sense.

But negotiations are all negotiable.

Fang Xuanling said, "If Riyue Mountain is used as the boundary, it is naturally impossible. However, we can use Riyue Mountain as the boundary, and both sides can build fortresses on both sides."

Some of Fang Xuanling's words often make people feel that he is very cowardly.

For example, when fighting Goguryeo, Fang Xuanling said not to fight, it was useless to fight, and it was a waste of money.

Now, Fang Xuanling's words also sounded irritating.

Hou Junji came up angrily: "I am a dignified Tang, so I am afraid of Tubo? If Tubo hadn't run fast under Songzhou City, I would have cut off their Zanpu's head long ago."

That's right, it was Hou Junji who led the troops to the expedition.

As a result, the striker took a hit, and the opponent said that he would not fight.Changed and kissed.

What a great opportunity to make a difference.

of course.

Ever since Gao Chang was destroyed and returned to prison for a few days, when he speaks now, everyone will look at him with strange eyes.

how to say.

I feel that this guy is actually fighting the war to make money for himself. It is said that his family has two young girls who specialize in feeding him.

No, after everyone listened to his words, it was as if he was regarded as air.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Hou Junji knew that since the time he went in, even though he had come out now, everyone had stayed away from him.

His expression suddenly became a little sullen.

Li Er didn't say anything.

Li Er himself understood the difficulty of fighting.

Fighting a war is not just about shouting a slogan. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lost all the family fortune that Emperor Wenjing had saved so hard to save for the war. His cousin Emperor Sui Yang even lost the country for the war. This is all tragic. lesson.

Moreover, Tubo was five to six thousand miles away from the Tang Dynasty. Compared with Gaochang and Goguryeo, it was only far away.

In fact, if there was really no one in the court, Li Er would not have called Hou Junji here today.

The other party should stay at home and not come out at this time.

As a result, the other party not only did not repent at all, but even yelled at him for beating and beating.

It would be better for you to go to war and make a lot of money, but it made me a fool.

Finally, Li Er said: "Since Tubo intends to make friends with my Tang Dynasty, let's give it a try and do what Fang Xuanling said, and let Tubo change the conditions. Also, call the condition Bianji The eminent monks, go and get in touch."

Fang Xuanling thought to himself, I know this person well.

Because Fang Xuanling actually believed in Buddhism.

Of course, it's not the kind of fanatical superstition you think, it should actually be called mindless.

Rather, he feels that there are still some things in Buddhism that are worth learning.

Such as outlook on life and worldview.

and so……

Fang Xuanling had really had contact with Bian Ji's master, that is, Dao Yue.

Of course, Daoyue passed away a few years ago, and he gradually stopped going.

I do know that in addition to Bianji, Daoyue also has many disciples.

Nowadays, his family's female relatives often go to the temple where Daoyue once lived, Jinchengfang Huichang Temple, to burn incense and worship Buddha, and make offerings to the temple.

Although it was said that Yue was dead, they couldn't leave the tea alone.

It's time to take care of it, or to take care of it.

Then, break up the meeting.

To be honest, everyone has no interest in Tubo.

Because the place is too remote, they don't even have the desire to mention it.

Anyway, they have Tuyuhun as their barrier.As long as Tuyuhun is still there, nothing will happen to Tubo.

This is actually conducive to the recovery of Tuyuhun.

If Tuyuhun hadn't been messed up by the Tang Dynasty in the eighth and ninth years of Zhenguan, Tubo might not have been able to defeat Tuyuhun.
