Crown Tang emperor

When the officials heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. The sages also like to drink tea, and the atmosphere of drinking tea is naturally very popular. Well, there are so many types of tea in Da Nei, and it is not accurate to say a hundred or ten, because no one can count them in detail.

Hearing this, Zan Po felt the excitement of seeing a mouse fall into the rice vat and seeing Lie Xin's joy, she nodded repeatedly and said: "Wait, wait, no matter how late! There are labor officials walking, let me be a foreigner!" The people of Bangfan can also have the good fortune to taste the prosperity of Tang's food!"

The officials were not very willing to do such a cumbersome task at first, and the purpose of telling the number was to let the foreigner stop, but they didn't expect to arouse his interest even more, and they were a little helpless for a while.

However, seeing that this man is really fond of tea ceremony, and his words are modest and polite, he is not as reckless and vulgar as ordinary foreigners, so he nodded reluctantly and said: "Then please wait for a while, and taste the flavors in the hall, and I will go Don't search for it."

After hearing the words, Zan Po nodded expectantly, and waited until the officials brought some tea, and then hurriedly tasted it. Each taste may not be all amazing, but it is inevitable to feel a sense of feasting , Feeling that the tea fragrance in the world has such a complicated taste.

After drinking a few cups of tea, the tea addiction was greatly relieved, and the wrinkles on Zan Po's face seemed to be stretched.And in the process of drinking tea, the conversations of scholars from the left and right sides of the Tang Dynasty naturally entered his ears one after another.

As the number two person in the Gar family, and an important helper cited by her elder brother, Zampo is naturally not a person who is greedy for personal interests and ignores important things. While tasting the tea soup, she is also paying attention to extracting useful things from everyone's conversations message.

It's just that most things that can be talked about on the table will never involve real secrets.Datang gathered hundreds of thousands of troops in Gyeonggi to perform martial arts. Of course, the Gar family would not ignore such a major event.Although they were not invited and they were far away in Qinghai, the Gar family had been paying close attention to this from the very beginning, and a considerable part of the reason why Zanpo came to Tang this time was also for this reason.

Although the scholars of the Great Tang Dynasty around talked a lot about it, but when it came to their in-depth understanding of this matter, they were not even comparable to Zan Po who came from outside, so Zan Po only listened to it tentatively.

Of course, this kind of listening can't be said to be meaningless, at least it can give you a better understanding of the current state of public opinion in the Tang Dynasty.

Zanpo noticed that when the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty talked about this matter, they were mostly in a proud tone. It was generally believed that the imperial court's military lecture was to deploy military force on the border again and restart the glorious grand occasion since Zhenguan Yonghui.

Among the targets listed by everyone to be attacked next, Tubo has been mentioned a lot, second only to the revived Turks.And to distinguish it more specifically, there are many people in the Gar family in Tubo who say that they have deep hatred, even far surpassing the Turkic Mochu who has retreated back to the Mobei area.

Zam Po was naturally not in a good mood when people talked about gnashing her teeth and wanting to beat and kill her, and felt a little aggrieved.In all fairness, there is indeed something about the Gar family that the people of Tang Dynasty hate, but if you talk about things, you can talk about things, and it is a bit wrong to scold people.It is said that the members of our Gar family were born with strong bones and made evil in the world, but can you count the regimes that your Tang Dynasty destroyed in the past few years?From the Western Regions to Haidong, where is there no killing karma created by you?

Although she has such thoughts in her heart, Zan Po will not directly argue with others, after all, this is not the home court.And right now, he is really not in the mood to discuss with others, and there is a lot of melancholy in his heart.

The internal and external turmoil experienced by the Tang Dynasty in the early years is well known throughout the world.As for this point, there are those who sigh, and those who gloat.But no matter what mood they had, the public generally believed that after this round of catastrophe, without a long period of recuperation, it would be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to recover its national strength.

Even his elder brother Qin Ling expressed regret and rejoicing when he talked about this matter. What regrets is that he can no longer fight with the Tang army, but what is fortunate is that the pressure on Qinghai has dropped sharply, so that the internally and externally troubled Gar family has more There was a respite.

Qin Ling even said with emotion: "Qinghai's foundation has been kept. As for whether it can be enjoyed for a long time in the future, it depends on the hard work of the younger generations."

Without the threat from the Tang Dynasty, although Zanpu in the middle school is aggressive, it is not easy to really disintegrate the Gar family. At least Qinling himself does not regard Zanpu as a real opponent.

Although she has some reservations about her brother's optimism, Zan Po also doesn't think Datang will be able to recover in a short period of time.

Just like in previous years in the battle of Dafeichuan, although Tubo waited for work with ease, it was not easy to win. After the Tang army entered Qinghai, it directly broke through Tubo's first line of defense in Haidong, forcing the Tubo army to have to fight. The roundabout side attack made the Tang army lose its head and tail, and it was difficult to defeat the Tang army with its absolute superiority in strength.

But after the Battle of Chengfeng Ridge a few years later, the situation on the battlefield was no longer the same.Although the Tang army was more prepared and had more troops this time, they were defeated before even breaking through the Haidong defense line.Although there have also appeared black-toothed Changzhi, who turned against the wind, the overall quality of the soldiers of the Tang Army has been significantly reduced in this battle.

At that time, although Datang was showing fatigue, the overall situation was still stable, but it was no longer as powerful as in previous years.But this time the blow he encountered was much greater, and the loss of strength would inevitably be greater.

So even though they learned that Datang had gathered more than 20 troops this time, the brothers of the Gar family were not very optimistic about it.Their Gar family now claims to have hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Qinghai, but only they know the actual situation. The so-called hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers are really not good enough. If they fight smoothly, they may barely maintain a military capacity.

But once the situation on the battlefield changes unfavorably, it will not be easy to control the army to stay together, let alone defeat the enemy.

The size of Datang is far from comparable to that of Qinghai. If you want to hold up a bluffing posture, it couldn't be easier.But whether it can be done for real is a very interesting topic.After all, in the past years, Tang Fan had a lot of fighting, but he rarely did this kind of ceremony.

Zanpo's entry into the Tang Dynasty this time also meant a bit of a test, and wanted to see what the background of the Tang Dynasty was like, so as to provide a reference for the next strategy formulation.But at this time, Zam Po was quite pessimistic when she heard the discussions of the people around her.

It may be difficult for foreigners to detect the true strength of the Tang Dynasty, but these courtiers in the court must know it.Even they almost unanimously believe that the imperial court will expand outwards, and there are few voices who worry that the imperial court will fall into militarism and hyperactivity.

Such public opinion shows that Datang's national power has indeed recovered, at least it has the confidence not to fear a war.Only in this way can these upper-level courtiers and ruling classes regain their enthusiasm for pioneering and martial arts, looking forward to washing away the old humiliation and showing their prestige abroad.

Therefore, although the officials brought new tea products here one after another, Zan Po gradually lost the mood to continue tasting tea.On the one hand, he was naturally shocked by the rapid recovery of Datang's national power, and on the other hand, he was also worried that Datang would really invest all of this recovered national power in Qinghai.

If this really happened, it would be a serious problem for the Gar family.It should be noted that what they are currently enduring is not only the pressure from the Longyou side, Zanpu in the middle school is also becoming more and more intolerable to their Gar family. In recent years, they have been working hard to eliminate the influence of their family in the middle school. The knife met.

Of course, even if the current Datang is not aiming at the Gar family, this is not a relief.In just two or three years, Datang once again had the ambition and strength to open up to the outside world. Even if they are not listed as the primary goal for the time being, how much time will be left for them to reverse their current disadvantages?

Thinking of this, Zan Po sighed again in her heart, and the tea that was originally weak and fine wine was swallowed in her mouth, but it also felt tasteless.

However, there was more than one thing that bothered him.After drinking the tea in the cup, he put the empty cup back on the case, got up and walked out of the hall, looked at a court official with the same bearded appearance standing in the corridor and frowned and asked, "May I ask this official?" People, I don’t know what’s wrong with me, causing you to stare at me like this? I sat down in the hall, and now for more than an hour, you can’t do it, you don’t ask, you just stare like this..."

The official snorted coldly after hearing the words, looked Zampo up and down a few times, but didn't answer his question, turned his head and walked out of the corridor.

Seeing this scene, Zan Po was naturally a little puzzled, but being able to tell people away and stop staring at her so hard could also make people less uncomfortable.

But just as he returned to sit down here, he saw that the official didn't go far, and stopped after walking out of the corridor for a few steps.This time, he was no longer just standing, he found a chair on a bed from nowhere, sat down facing him, and continued to stare at him.

"Why hasn't Ma Cheng done it yet? The supervisor is very anxious to find you, and he wants to review the residents around the British mansion today..."

A green-robed official came from a layman panting, and when he saw Ma Fang sitting outside the hall basking in the sun, he couldn't help complaining, and hurried forward and urged in a low voice.

After hearing the words, Ma Fang shook her head with a serious expression, pointed to the hall and said in a deep voice: "You go and report to the supervisor. If it is urgent, send someone else first. If it is not urgent, I will handle it later. I I saw an old Hu here, who is neither an official nor a civilian, but he has sneaked into the center. No matter what route he follows, whether he has any conspiracy or not, I will stare at him and deter him! Where Ma is going, how can he be evil! "

Chapter 0878 The world is stunning, it is hard to compete for beauty

Li Tong dawdled in the inner hall until almost evening, and then remembered that there was another Qinghai Zanpo waiting to be seen in the outer court.Seeing that it was getting late, he didn't bother to go outside, so he ordered some people from the Yingguan to go straight to the Linde Hall, preparing to summon the visitor from Qinghai in the Linde Hall.

Ye Ali's identity is closely related to the affairs of Xifan, so naturally he also has to attend as a companion.However, when she entered the palace today, she was dressed in a gorgeous dress and full of make-up, which always did not match the atmosphere of the banquet attended by the courtiers from the outer court.Since he entered the palace soon, there was nothing to avoid suspicion, so he simply went into the inner room and changed his shirt and skirt, changed into a scholar's robe, and went to Linde Hall with the saint.

When the two came hand in hand, all the members were already waiting outside the Linde Hall, and Zanpo from Qinghai was naturally among them.Seeing the arrival of the holy driver, all the people came in to salute.

Li Tong responded with a nod to everyone, and his gaze finally fell on Zam Po, looking him up curiously.

Since his journey to the west, he has been fighting openly and secretly with the Gar family for many years, but he has not seen many members of the direct line of the Gar family.Even if he went to Longyou personally in his early years and arrived on the battlefield in Haidong, he still had no chance to meet Qinling face to face.

A few years ago, when the imperial court moved back from the eastern capital to Chang'an and held the enthronement ceremony, Gong Ren, the son of Qin Ling, led a team to Chang'an to congratulate and watch the ceremony, but ended up fighting with the envoys from Tubo in the street and almost died, which also prompted The imperial court sent envoys to Tibet.

Apart from this unpleasant experience, Li Tong had no direct contact with members of the Gar family on public or private occasions, so he was still a little curious about the demeanor of the members of the Gar family.After all, the Gar family is the family of Tubo's most powerful ministers, and one of the most important driving forces in the process of Tubo's growth. At the same time, it is also the number one enemy of the current border troubles in Li Tong's mind.

Li Tong is naturally no stranger to Zanpo's reputation.In history, under the pressure of Tubo Zanpo, Qinling failed to rebel and committed suicide. The Gar family, the former richest family in Tubo, had no place to stay in Tubo. Datang surrendered, and in the future he led his troops to garrison at the border between Datang and Tubo, Hongyuan Valley where the veteran Tang Xiujing showed his power.

Although Zanpo showed little performance after she voted in the Tang Dynasty, and was exhausted by the upheaval of her family and country, she died of illness not long after.However, the Gar family survived in the Tang Dynasty and became a relatively important frontier defense force on the Longyou side. When the Anshi Rebellion broke out, the troops from various frontiers entered the country, and the members of the Gar family also performed well.

Although the memory of later generations is different from the current situation and is not enough to be used as evidence to deal with the current personnel issues, affected by this, Li Tong's impression of Zampo is not bad.But after sizing it up, I was a little disappointed to be honest. The old fanhu looked ordinary in front of me, and it really made people feel admirable and majestic without looking at it.

Li Tong is naturally not exempt from the normal state of judging people by their appearance.It's just that he doesn't show this feeling, and he doesn't make superficial and hasty judgments on people and things.

After looking at Zan Po, he took a step forward and said with a smile: "I'm busy with business, we are late to meet, and there are laborers waiting for you."

"The sage is self-sufficient and has limited free time. It is impolite for foreigners not to come here, but to ask for a visit. The sage is tolerant and generous, and the outsiders are already deeply grateful."

While being scrutinized by Li Tong, Po Zan also observed the young hero who single-handedly dragged Datang out of internal and external difficulties with his peripheral vision.Looking at this one, I can't help but feel quite emotional in my heart.

Although the power is so strong, the appearance is just the icing on the cake, and it doesn't hurt the general thing.But the young master of the Tang Kingdom in front of him has done an excellent job and is impeccable, and the bonus points are surprisingly high, which is naturally surprising.

No wonder that even though his elder brother Qinling was defeated in Haidong in the early years, when he mentioned Tang, the emperor, he didn't have any contemptuous words, and even occasionally praised him.

This is also extremely rare, his elder brother has never been a magnanimous person, let alone respecting the enemy.Even the Zanpu dignitaries in the country, when talking about their Gar family, mostly scorned them as Jiabuxia slaves and Aqin thieves, and Qinling paid little respect to these people, and often referred to them as Zanpu in private. Yalong Mang Ox or Red Palace Monkey.

He has contempt for his own ruler, but admires the king of the enemy country. This is naturally due to Qin Ling's character of arrogance and disdain to hide.And when Po Zan saw the demeanor of the saint Tang Guo with her own eyes, she faintly agreed with her brother's attitude.

Especially when she saw Ye Ali, who was dressed in men's clothing and walked behind the sage of the Tang Dynasty, and whose eyes were often tied to this one, and who was defiant, Zanpo sighed again.He naturally remembered that Ye Ali didn't dress up like this when he entered the palace, but now he looked like this, obviously the relationship with this great Tang sage had already become quite intimate.

For this, Zanpo felt somewhat regretful.It's not because he, like the young nobles in the Tubo Kingdom, has any charming fantasies about Ye Ali, it's purely out of consideration of the pros and cons of the future development of the Gar family.

Ye Ali, who was born in the Chen family in the early years, was squeezed out and plotted by the big clans in the country, and had little foothold.But this does not mean that the Chen family has no strength at all. If it is true that they do not even have the basic power to protect themselves, they would have been divided and devoured by the big clans, and there would be no chance for her to defect and leave the country.

As an upstart that arose with the unification of the plateau by Tubo, the Gar family, if they could be combined with an established clan like the Chen family, the increase in power for both parties would far exceed the result of one plus one equals two.This point has been verified from the incident that Ye Ali contacted Qinling and lured him back to China before he defected.

Although the Chen family's old fiefdom has been deprived, its tribal forces have migrated to Xikang, the eastern region of Sun Bo's hometown, and are no longer rooted in the Wangtong area as before.But this does not mean that the value of the Chen family will be weakened. If the Chen family can unite with the Gar family, it will be equivalent to controlling the entire territory of Sun Bo and Tuyuhun, and directly form a situation of dividing the plateau with Tubo Zanpu .

Insufficient background and shallow foundation are common problems of upstart families like the Gar family.In the past years, Tubo made great strides in foreign development, and its national power was also thriving. This shortcoming has been concealed and not exposed. However, as the national power has shrunk, the attention of the rich and powerful in the country has focused more on the current power distribution structure. , the outlier of the Nagar family was highlighted.

Although on the surface the Gar family still controls the military and political power in Tubo, but as more and more people are dissatisfied with the situation of the Gar family's dominance, the Dalun position handed down from father to son by the Gar family is becoming more and more untrue. Up to now, it has been completely excluded from the country.

If an old clan like the Chen clan can form an alliance with the Gar family, it will undoubtedly be of great significance for tearing apart the alliances between those old clans, and even open up a new area for the development of the Gar family. Vast space.With their father and brother's accumulation of prestige in the country, as well as Qin Ling's own outstanding military talent, it is even very possible to directly replace Zamp Sidano's family.

Although the late Dongzan father and son also took power in the country, they also paid more attention to maintaining the relationship with these old clans.And it is Zanpo who associates the future development and even survival of the Gar family with the standpoint of these old clans.Even in the early years, Qin Ling sent his son Gong Ren back to China to propose to Ye Ali, it was precisely because of Zan Po's suggestion.

But it is a pity that the subsequent development of the situation greatly exceeded their brothers' prediction and judgment. Ye Ali was as stubborn as ever, unwilling to accept the mercy of these powerful people in the country, and chose to defect to Tang.Although the Gar family also obtained some benefits from the cooperation with the Chen family before and after Ye Ali's escape, this benefit was not fundamental, and it was still not enough to bring about qualitative changes to the Gar family.

Even though Ye Ali had already voted for Tang Dynasty, when she learned that Tang State only canonized her as the Queen of Xikang, but did not agree to Tubo's marriage proposal, Zanpo still had some expectations for it.Because in his view, cooperating with the lost old clan is one of the few choices that the Gar family can return to Tubo and be accepted by the middle-level forces.

So in the past many years, although they were separated from each other, under the suggestion of Zan Po, the Qinghai side still had a lot of greetings to Queen Xikang who lived in Chang'an.Even this time when Zan Po entered the Tang Dynasty, she stayed directly at the Xikang King's Mansion, and it was because of the good interaction between them in the past period.

But seeing this scene now, Zan Po has no hope at all.If it was possible to neglect the Tibetans through the Tang State before, and would not tolerate a foreign woman entering the palace, and for their Gar family and the Chen family, it would be beneficial to both of them. I still have certain illusions about this, but now it seems that , it is a bit too optimistic to think so.

Especially His Majesty the Emperor Datang, with such a handsome appearance and such unparalleled power, no matter how much he concealed his conscience, Zanpo really didn't think that Ye Ali would give up the good candidate in front of him and choose his nephew to entrust him for life. possible.

Of course, this disappointment, Zanpo could only bury it in her heart, and did not dare to say it out loud. After meeting each other after a simple exchange of greetings, they all followed the saint into the Linde Hall.

After sitting down, Li Tong looked at Zanpo for a while, then suddenly grinned, pointed to where the guards were on the train, and said with a smile: "In Jiazi, everything is different. Thinking back in the past, Brother Ling might have stood in There. I have never had the chance to see what the situation was like at that time, and although I still live together in this day, I should not have the opportunity to meet and talk."

Chapter 0879 Datang Entrepreneurship, Convincing People with Virtue

Although Li Tong sighed, he didn't mean to humiliate the Qinling brothers. He came up with such feelings by chance, mainly because he was full of imagination and expectation for their national strength in the Tang Dynasty in the past.

In the past, the Tang Dynasty was invincible in foreign wars and conquered all attacks. It was the common suzerain of all the countries in the world, and none of the surrounding Hus dared to rebel.No matter what kind of power and status they have in their respective countries, once they enter the territory of the Tang Dynasty, they will also have to laugh in the palace and hold spears as guards. This is the majestic appearance that Tian Khan should have.

Now the Tang Dynasty under the rule of Li Tong will also embark on the road of opening up to the outside world again, so my heart is full of remembrance and admiration for the glory of my ancestors.Today, he does not dare to boast that he can surpass the achievements of his ancestors, but he can do his best to do his best, which can also be called a no-brainer.

Hearing the sage talk about his elder brother being hostage to the old guard, Zanpo didn't think it was a shameful scandal, and also said with emotion: "My brother often remembers and sighs, Taizong back then Emperor Wen and Emperor Gaozong, both kings of the Ming Dynasty, were the rulers of the Ming Dynasty. Their kindness and power were not limited to China, and they overwhelmed the four barbarians far away. The great fortune of a lifetime!"

After Li Tong heard this, he smiled and said: "A hundred people have all kinds of desires, and justice is at ease. Now that I am on the throne, I dare not boast that I can surpass my ancestors, but I must abide by the emperor's model and the ancestor's precepts. At that time, human affairs and opportunities were only good for the world, and poor for the poor. If all parties are respectful and not contradictory, the Tang Dynasty has its own national etiquette to treat each other. , I, Datang, have never been afraid of provocations since I started my business!"

When Zan Po heard this, her eyes flickered slightly. From the time they met until now, he finally felt a shortcoming in the character of the Tang sage, that is, he was too fierce and strong, even in simple words. Give in to others.There was no other deep meaning in his speech just now, but the saint immediately responded forcefully.

However, this is not a serious flaw.Ordinary folk son Lang still relies on his strong muscles and bones to be vigorous and youthful, let alone an emperor who is in charge of a huge empire like the Tang Dynasty.If you don't even have this kind of arrogance, how can you deter the masses?

But in addition to being tough, Zanpo also heard from these words that the emperor in front of him is not just arrogant and arrogant, especially the sentence "benevolent can benefit the world, and poor can be good for oneself". The language made Zanpo realize the sophistication and agility of the Tang sage.Zanpu in their country would never be able to say such words that are well-versed in the world without compromising their arrogance.

And these words made Zan Po a little suspicious whether the other party already knew what he was going to say next?And subconsciously looked at Ye Ali, but seeing that Ye Ali was just staring at the side of the saint and didn't care much about the rest, he shook his head secretly.

Although Ye Ali is stubborn and shrewd, her intentions are narrow and she does not have the ability to judge the overall situation.

It can only be seen that in the past few years, she could only rely on the remaining power of the Chen family to protect herself, but she couldn't make good use of this power to seek alliances, and finally ended up in a far-off country and could not be tolerated by her family.If it weren't for the fact that the land of the Eastern Region still had extremely important strategic value to Datang, it would be difficult for Ye Ali to keep his current situation and treatment.

As the palace people passed the meals up one by one, and the voices of the Neijiaofang people also filed into the palace, Zan Po temporarily suppressed these distracting thoughts in her heart, and took the lead in raising her glass to congratulate: "The former Tang Dynasty Lishan lectured on martial arts, Xuanwei Inside and outside, although the outsiders were not lucky enough to watch the event with Xi Lie, they also heard a lot about the grand occasion along the way eastward. Let me drink a cup of good wine to congratulate the saint on this grand event."

After Li Tong heard the words, he also raised the wine glass on the case in response, and directly drank it down.Naturally, he could hear the meaning of Zanpo's words, it's just that even if you don't invite us, you still can't tell whether the Hu chieftains attending the ceremony are human or ghosts, and some of them have already reported the details to us one by one .

"Farming at three times and teaching martial arts at one time are based on ancient Chinese etiquette and customs. When the court made this plan, it did not have any foreign guests in advance, and only taught training in the middle school. But the guests and servants from all directions are very eager to invite them in, so the brief preparation Ladies and gentlemen, please take the time to announce the etiquette."

After drinking the wine in the cup, Li Tong said with a smile again: "Soldiers are fierce, even if the body of a big country has to be used with caution. People watching the ceremony from all sides can spread the word frequently, and publicize the momentum they have seen to the people of the four barbarians , This is where the doctrine of propriety lies. But if you can use this prestige to deter Xiaoxiao from making evil plans, the imperial court will not force armored soldiers to waste people's money."

At this point, he paused for a moment, and then said something that Zanpo almost spit out the drink after hearing it: "Great beauty politics, it is not easy to maintain. That's why Tang Dynasty can have this It is solemn and general, and it is also because since the founding of the country, it has always adhered to the great plan of convincing people with virtue and righteousness."

After Zan Po heard this, her throat trembled, and she swallowed the wine in her mouth. She couldn't help but look up at His Majesty the Emperor. When she saw him say this, she also had a serious face, as if I really don't think there is anything wrong with these words, so I have a more comprehensive understanding of this saint.

Talking nonsense is not a great skill, but it is definitely a talent to be able to speak nonsense so frankly, as if it is natural and unquestionable?

Datang convinced people with virtue?The person who said this didn't feel guilty, it was really bullying the long stone statue of the Tibetans in Qianling who didn't have a mouth!When it comes to invading other countries and suppressing opponents, compared with Tang Dynasty, they in Tubo can only be regarded as elementary school students. It turns out that such behavior is called persuading people with virtue!

Putting aside these thoughts in her heart, Zan Po couldn't help but said: "A strategy to attack soldiers, but it can achieve the miraculous effect of defeating the enemy without fighting, and it can indeed be called a strategist. It is indeed admirable. However, the foreign members were born in the barren land and grew up in Hu Township, and they also know that there are such things as ignorance and ignorance among the Hu. It is even heard that during this ceremony, some members offended the saint because of this. The sage's benevolence is slightly damaged, and he is killed to vent his anger?"

Li Tong knew that what he was talking about was that he killed Fudi, the heir of the Huihe leader, and he didn't hide it. He just sighed and said: "If there are good soil everywhere in the world, and there are good people inside and outside, why do we need punishment, reward, and education?" Gong? If you don’t teach well, you will be sentenced to death. This is not a detriment to your benevolence, but only punishing evil as an enemy is the real kindness to those who are sheltered by the world.”

Speaking of this, he looked at Zanpo meaningfully and said with a smile: "A few days ago, your king's envoy entered the palace to resign, and he also mentioned this matter. Using this as an imitation, he talked about the Southern Barbarian edicts, and please borrow Dow Xikang."

"Is there such a thing?"

Zan Po was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly asked a question. After a while, she felt a little out of control, and laughed a little awkwardly, and then said: "Although the Southern Barbarian edicts belong to our country, they have lost their way for a long time. My brother read As for this festival, I often harbor resentment. But because Xikang is not part of our country, and the military path is not smooth, I dare not take the liberty to ask for a report, so I can only endure the anger for a while. It is reasonable for the envoy to make such a request. If The sage can help this plan, and my brother is also very grateful."

After all, the old guy is more sophisticated. The atmosphere of conflict and confrontation between Tubo monarchs and ministers is more profound and intense than in the early years, but Zanpo can still maintain restraint, far from being as irritable as his nephew, who was directly in the city of Chang'an. Then he fought with the envoy from the middle school.

Of course, Zanpo's concealment is not of much practical significance. It is nothing more than to remind Li Tong that the Gar family originated from Tubo. Return to Tubo rule.This is undoubtedly detrimental to Datang's plan to deliberately create divisions and keep Tubo in internal friction for a long time.

"The country of Xikang was originally obtained from Tubo. I should not refuse such a request, both emotionally and rationally. But I am worried that the true meaning of this excuse may not be so simple. Besides, Xikang was originally a barren land when it was obtained. The wasteland has been operated by the imperial court for several years now, and it has become a beautiful town in western Sichuan. How can we endure the passage of swords and soldiers and destroy the peace?

If your monarch and ministers lend me Xikang just based on empty words, I am afraid it will not be easy.Although the old friendship between the two countries is renewed, the relationship is not about profit.But the subordinates are ignorant, so they may not have such a dignified plan.For the stability of the situation in our country, the matter of borrowing is still to be discussed. "

Seeing that Zan Po was hesitant to speak, Li Tong smiled and said again.

"Then according to the sage, what is the true meaning of the country?"

When Zan Po heard this, she couldn't help asking immediately, and then she realized that she had made a slip of the tongue. This was a big plan in his country, but if there was a little communication, why bother to ask people from abroad.So he coughed twice again, and then asked again: "Boldly ask the sage, how can you excuse me?"

Chapter 0880 Mingjun Yuji, the strong wind returns

Possessing such an eager question, of course, was not worried that Datang would be stingy and refused to borrow, but was afraid that Datang would be too generous, so she directly lent the martial art to the middle school, although the chances of this were very small.

Although the Tubo Kingdom borrowed Xikang from the Tang Dynasty, and on the surface it did not seem to have much relationship with Qinghai, but the negotiations between countries are not so simple, and many purposes are hidden in a deeper layer.

Zan Po has a deep understanding of the situation and the way of doing things in the middle school, and she understands that even if Datang is really willing to use Xikang's way, the middle school will never really send troops to the remote villages of Nanman.Making such a request must be for the purpose of testing.Once it is found out that Datang's attitude is not tough enough, then it is very likely that they will attack Qinghai next.

Therefore, what Zan Po asked was not what the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty thought, but what his attitude was.

Of course, Li Tong understood how much this incident would have a great impact on the situation in Qinghai, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately mentioned it in front of Zam Po.But of course he wouldn't let Zan Po easily test out his attitude, so after hearing the words, he just shook his head and waved his hands and said, "This matter will be discussed and discussed with your country's special envoy by the imperial court staff, so there is no need to say more now."

Hearing this, Zanpo was a little embarrassed. As a minister of Tubo, she was excluded from such important national affairs and could not join in. Instead, she asked to ask questions outside the country.No matter how they concealed it, they couldn't conceal the embarrassing situation of their Gar family in Tubo Kingdom.

At the same time, he also heard that Datang did not reject Tubo's proposal, but was still negotiating.From the perspective of Tubo Kingdom, it is enough for Datang to have such an attitude, and they can make corresponding personnel preparations. Even if the talks continue, it is nothing more than paying some price, so that Datang will not interfere too much in their state affairs.

After realizing this, Zanpo was in a worse mood.His main purpose of entering the Tang Dynasty this time was to inquire about the intentions of the Tang Dynasty, but in the end he learned that there were already signs of attacking Qinghai.This unexpected harvest is really unsatisfactory.

The atmosphere that followed was a bit dull. Although Li Tong took the initiative to provoke the topic several times, Zanpo didn't respond enthusiastically.

Seeing this scene, Li Tong didn't feel disappointed, this was his goal in the first place.Seeing that his opponents are not happy, of course he will be happy.Intensifying the conflict between the Tubo monarch and his ministers was originally part of the strategy.
