Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

In fact, Xu Zheng didn't know much, but Xu Zheng's time with His Highness was not too short, especially after going to sea, he opened up a lot of horizons, so Xu Zheng probably knew the reason for doing this from General Pei.

When all the cultural classics in a region were originally in your home, if these cultural classics in these areas are destroyed due to war in the future, then their descendants want to study history, they will go to your home to study.

And what exactly is written on the lonely copy at your home... Well, isn't His Highness the final say?

So after Xu Zheng found out about Xuanzang's proposal, he raised it to a certain level. This has a very important relationship with His Highness's strategy.So this must be taken seriously.

"Your Excellency Zanpu." Xu Zheng said directly after leaving Nalanda Temple.

"Oh, General Xu, please tell me something, but before that, I hope General Xu can call me His Majesty the King." Songtsan Gampo said.

"Oh?" Xu Zheng looked at Songtsan Gampo with some surprise. Zanpu in Tubo is equivalent to the meaning of a king, but Songtsan Gampo's name change is obviously not as simple as a name change.

"Because I, Tubo, is going to follow the example of the Tang Dynasty in carrying out reforms. We will also set up the system of three provinces and six ministries. We will also distribute Yongyetian to all the people in the Tubo territory, and we will popularize Tang characters and dialects within the Tubo territory." Songtsan Gampo looked Opened the mouth calmly.

Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and he squinted his eyes slightly. Of course he didn't think Tubo's actions, or Songtsan Gampo's actions, were for the Tang Dynasty's favor.

His Highness's teachings are deeply in his heart, between countries, there will always be only interests.

Therefore, Songtsan Gampo's reforms can be seen as his overwhelming ambition.

"Then, Your Majesty, what do you mean by telling me this?" Xu Zheng looked at him and said.

"I know that the Tibetan serfs rebelled and Tubo joined Datang, so I don't blame Datang." Songtsan Gampo took a deep breath before he spoke.

He has already done psychological training. Although the other party may not believe what he said, Songtsen Gampo has to convince himself that the other party will believe it.

Xu Zheng looked calm. Whether Tubo blamed Datang depends on whether Datang is strong or not.

If Datang is powerful, Tubo will definitely not blame Datang. If Datang is weak, then it will be hard to say.

Of course, Songtsan Gampo probably won't be able to wait for the day when Datang is weak.

"Well, this really has nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty. The Tubo serf rebellion is not what our Tang Dynasty wants to see, because it affects the friendly relationship and trade between our Datang and Tubo, and the trade between Tubo and Datang I have made a lot of profits for Datang, unless it is necessary, I, Datang, will certainly not be able to destroy this relationship."

"So after the Tubo serfs rebelled and surrendered to my Tang Dynasty, in order to maintain a stable relationship between us and Tubo, my Tang Dynasty had to take over the territory of Tubo, because in this way, the trade between us can be Peace and stability will continue, and trade will not be interrupted because of a chaotic former Tibetan territory." Xu Zheng said seriously.

To be honest, Xu Zheng couldn't say such shameless words before, but there are not many officials and generals in the China Theater, but the actual area of ​​responsibility is very large, and there are many countries, so they often need to communicate with some foreign countries. deal with.

Xu Zheng had received a lot of training before. Anyway, the first lesson he received was that, as a foreign exchange personnel, the first thing he learned was to be shameless. When you should be shameless, you must be shameless. When the principle is established, the principle must be maintained.Qualified diplomats must have a flexible bottom line.

Songtsan Gampo almost collapsed, how did you say such shameless words?Too fucking shameless!To maintain trade?After the trade between my Tubo and your Tang Dynasty was built in Tianzhu in your port, sea trade is the largest trade channel, and the number of land is not much.

But don't worry about how shameless the other party is, but people can continue to say this.

But Songtsan Gampo, who has already done mental construction, can only recognize it, otherwise what else can he do?

Take it back?Stop making trouble, without the support of the serfs, they can't get back any land at all, so what if they defeat the Tang army?How could we stand without the support of the serfs?

So that place no longer belongs to Tubo.

"Well, I can understand, so I immediately sent an envoy to communicate with the Tang general in Tubo, and went to Chang'an to write a letter to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to explain the matter. But now, I still have a grievance Please, I don’t know if Datang can count on it. After all, Datang accepted the love of my original land in Tubo, and can provide some support to me in Tubo? For example, some books for learning Tang characters.” Songtsan Gan Bu directly stated his request.

Xu Zheng straightened up, this... To be honest, he looked at Songtsan Gampo with some doubts, he wondered if the guy was His Highness's?Otherwise, why many of his requests are things that His Highness is going to spend a lot of effort to promote?As a result, he took the initiative to ask to learn?

As for diplomacy, even though Xu Zhengxue didn't learn it well, he has learned the key points, that is, not getting what you want.

"This...isn't easy." Xu Zheng hesitated and said.

"Your Majesty, if you understand Chinese culture, you should know that there is an old saying in China since ancient times: Know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles." Xu Zheng said.

"I know." Songtsan Gampo pursed his lips.

"So, if you study my Datang, you must also learn to learn the characters of the Tang Dynasty. There will inevitably be more people of you who will learn my Datang's books, military books, etc., so if you have conflicts with my Datang, you will Get to know us better, so you may have an advantage." Xu Zheng said seriously.

Songtsin Gampo took a deep breath, he knew what the other party said was right, but he didn't expect a little general to understand this.

"I can't decide this matter, but I can go back and submit it to General Pei Xingjian, and let him ask His Majesty for instructions. If Your Majesty agrees, we will naturally implement it." Xu Zheng said solemnly.

"Okay! But based on our previous trade, such related trade as grain and iron should not stop." Songtsan Gampo looked at Xu Zheng.

"Sorry, before we receive a new order, after all, there may be a conflict between us, so the trade will be temporarily suspended." Xu Zheng said with an "apology".

Songtsan Gampo was a little angry and helpless, but he couldn't do anything now. Datang took his things, but he couldn't get angry because he wanted to buy things from Datang.However, Datang became alert because of this and temporarily suspended the trade.
