Crossing the East Palace

Although Tang Luojin suffered from insomnia the night before, she woke up after only sleeping for two hours.

But on the second day, after arranging many affairs, General Liu came to tell him that Tubo Zanpu would like to see him again.

Of course, since Tang Luojin went to Chang'an to write to Chang'an and demoted Tubo Zanpu's two daughters, Tubo Zanpu didn't dare to call himself "father-in-law" or elder.

Rao is Tubo Zanpu, and he also knows that for men, some women can be direct relatives, and they should be respected. Although some women are concubines, they are also concubines with names, and they can be respected a little bit, but some women, men even have titles. Neither would give let alone respect to her family.

"Does Your Highness want to see you?" General Liu had been at the border for a longer period of time. To him, anyone in Tubo was the enemy of the soldiers who had killed him, and Tubo Zanpu was the biggest enemy among them.But at present, although he doesn't like Tubo, he has no choice but to back down and ask Tang Luojin what he thinks.

"Of course I want to see you." Tang Luojin said, "However, we have to wait a little longer."

"When will it be?" General Liu said, "Then Tubo Zanpu is not easy to dismiss."

"When he is willing to send more horses." Tang Luojin said expressionlessly.

As far as Datang is concerned, although Datang has a large land and a large population, the war horses raised by Datang are not as brave and good at fighting as the war horses raised by the border people.

Although Tang Luojin and General Liu led a large number of soldiers to subdue Tubo temporarily, but for Datang, there were other small countries around him that needed to be dealt with one by one. These war horses were obviously in special need.

General Liu immediately understood the meaning, and was about to praise His Highness, when His Highness spoke again.

"They still need to become ministers and pay the annual tribute." Tang Luojin said slowly, "Among the annual tribute, there must also be war horses."

General Liu hesitated and said: "Then can they agree? If we become ministers, we can apply a little pressure and send troops from the Turkic border. Maybe it will work. But let them pay tribute every year... I'm afraid, this matter may It can't be done."

Today's Tubo Zanpu is in his prime, and he is in power. He may be able to bear to bow his head for a while, but how can he bear to bow his head for a long time?It must have been a few years, this Zanpu has accumulated his strength, and he will attack the border of Datang again.

But Tang Luojin said: "It's okay. As long as Tubo gets a new king, and the new king is supported by Datang, why worry about them not paying tribute to Datang?"

This is not Tang Luojin talking nonsense.There will be many princes fighting in Datang, and it is the same in Tubo.

It's just that now the two elder princes of Tubo, the fourth and fifth princes, are dead in his hands, and the rest of the elder princes are all worthless.Only Tubo Zanpu's younger brother in his thirties and the 19-year-old sixth prince are the most concerned about Tubo Zanpu's position.

General Liu heard the words, and immediately said: "It is Tubo Zanpu's younger brother looking for His Highness? Ask His Highness to help him get Tubo Zanpu..." He made a gesture of wiping his neck, "Just in this way, will this matter happen?" To embarrass His Highness? Let His Highness have all the hatred of the Tubo people?"

Tang Luojin rarely hooked the corners of his lips: "He did find Gu. However, Gu found the sixth prince of Tubo. Compared with Xin Zanpu, who is in his [-]s, what Guxiang and Datang need is a The young Xin Zanpu. What's more, what's wrong with a son inheriting his father's business? The sixth prince can naturally take on the heavy responsibility of Tubo Zanpu."

General Liu is a general after all, and he is not good at these convoluted calculations.However, he only needs to know that His Highness the Crown Prince's calculations will stabilize the border between Datang and Tubo for a long time, and that the materials and people that Chang'an City will send will enable the new city to be built quickly, that's enough.

Next, Tang Luojin still refused to see Tubo Zanpu.

Once Tang Luojin refused to see him, Tubo Zanpu had to come all the way to see Tang Luojin once.Time after time, Tubo Zanpu still cared about his own safety at the beginning, and later, the number of times increased. Not to mention the Tubo soldiers, but Tubo Zanpu himself was a little tired, and he didn't seem to think whether this line of work would be successful or not. There are many dangers.

It was under such circumstances that Tubo Zanpu was intercepted and killed.

At first, everyone thought that Datang was insidious, and deliberately set up this situation to assassinate Zanpu.But when Tubo Zanpu was seriously injured, two teams came to rescue them, one was the six sons of Tubo Zanpu, and the other was from Datang.

Tubo Zanpu interrogated the assassin, and finally found the youngest brother.His injuries became more and more serious. Before he died, his younger brother was executed, and the position of Zanpu was passed on to his sixth son, the new Tubo Zanpu.

The handover of the position of Tubo Zanpu was extremely fast, and it was too late for the soldiers at the border to finish their joy over the victory over Tubo, and then ushered in the next wave of joy.

Tubo Xin Zanpu succeeded to the throne, and before fighting inside, he first signed an agreement with Tang Luojin to become a minister and pay tribute.

Xin Zanpu signed the agreement, and in front of everyone, he slightly bent towards Tang Luojin and saluted.

"May Datang prosper forever."

Tang Luojin helped him up: "Lonely hope Zanpu will make Tubo stable, peaceful and prosperous."

The two teenagers looked at each other and smiled.

So what if you are young?

For Tubo Xin Zanpu, perhaps cooperating with Datang is seeking skin from a tiger.However, if he doesn't act at this time, with his father's trust in his uncle, he will give up Zanpu's position sooner or later.At that time, what else will his son get?

It's better to take advantage of the uncle's move, help him, send his father away, and inherit the position of Zanpu himself.

He thought that the concession at this time was for further progress in the future.

Xin Zanpu looked at Prince Datang who was younger than him beside him, and thought to himself, there will be such a day.

As for Tang Luojin, his purpose of coming to the Tubo border two years ago was to win military merits and hold a certain amount of military power.It's just unpredictable, and he didn't expect that after going around, he was lucky enough to disrupt the situation in Tubo, let Tubo write in black and white, officially bowed his head to Datang, paid tribute, and gave horses.

For such a feat, even on the way back to Chang'an, there will be more troubles, Tang Luojin also admitted it.

The Tubo soldiers were even more delighted.

The rest they don't know.However, Tubo's surrender to Datang means that the border can be stable for at least ten or eight years. How can they not be happy?Although he came out to serve as a soldier, he just held his head in his hands.However, who would not like to be able to continue to live in peace and stability?

News of Tubo Zanpu changing and bowing to Datang to accept the old tribute soon spread to Chang'an City.

In the city of Chang'an, the prince thought that he won the battle and drove Tubo for six hundred miles, so he was already the most outstanding prince.

Unexpectedly, after the prince proposed to build a new city, he would encounter the change of Tubo Zanpu and bow his head to become a minister. All of a sudden, in the city of Chang'an, no matter the dignitaries or the common people, they were talking about their prince.

"It is said that the crown prince is the reincarnation of the Wu emperor, I see, I am afraid that His Royal Highness is even more powerful than the Wu emperor!"

"That's right! What was the age of the Emperor Wu, and what was the age of our prince? Besides, the prince has a mole of Guanyin on his forehead. Oh, that looks like Guanyin. When people look at it, they can bear it." Can't help but feel amazing!"

"You guys don't understand this, right? Emperor Wu is the founding king of the country. How could our prince have such a high status in the beginning? Of course, he climbed up step by step. Ordinary people don't have the ability of Emperor Wu! Of course, the prince It's also very powerful, from being a fool to what it is now, tsk tsk, it's like listening to a story."

"Stupid? Where did you get stupid? What are you talking about?"

"That's right, what did you say?"

……

For ordinary people, perhaps the change of Zanpu in Tubo is just a coincidence, brought by the "good luck" of the prince with the mole of Guanyin.

But for the imperial court, even if they couldn't say it clearly, everyone clearly understood that the death of Tubo Qian Zanpu must have been written by the prince.Even if the prince didn't take the initiative to kill, but when the benefits were shared, the prince of their family would definitely not be lenient.

Otherwise, why is the current Tubo Zanpu not the younger brother of Zanpu who was in his thirties who was powerful and powerful, but a 19-year-old boy now?

Everyone tacitly agreed, and I was secretly happy in my heart.

Emperor Tianyuan was even more overjoyed.

He never thought that his prince not only has ability, but also luck.

In fact, the words of those people are not completely unreasonable.If the prince had no luck, how could he happen to encounter the change of power in Tubo?How could he take advantage of the opportunity to benefit Datang?

Emperor Tianyuan was overjoyed, and so was the court.

Yue Hou is also happy today.He also valued the eldest son in the past, but since the two eldest sons had misbehaved and the eldest son's legs were disabled, he was not willing to admit this son's status as the eldest son.

However, today is different.

Marquis Yue got up and said, "My lord, Gouzi has always been playful, but the crown prince is Gouzi's cousin. The prince is on the border for the country and the people, and Gouzi is influenced by the prince, and now he has the idea of ​​doing things for me, Datang. The minister has always been Love this son, let him do it alone, unexpectedly, he really did it."

Emperor Tianyuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Ye Shanwen was pushed out by someone in a wheelchair - this wheelchair was a gift from the prince.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I'm not talented, and it's inconvenient to move now, but I still have the ability to talk. Therefore, I persuaded the two imperial merchants to prepare a lot of materials for the prince to build a new city." Afterwards, Ye Shanwen proudly brought the things he had prepared. A lot of materials and money were said one by one.

Everyone was surprised.

The same is true for Emperor Tianyuan.

Ye Shanwen finished speaking quickly, and everyone thought that Ye Shanwen must be the one who could go to Tubo to make meritorious service after preparing so much supplies and money.

However, Emperor Tianyuan was sitting in the upright position, touching the finger on his thumb, but he didn't agree immediately.

For Emperor Tianyuan, a lot of materials and money were indeed needed to build a new city in Tubo.A person who can prepare so many things is indeed worthy of reuse.

However, the safety of the prince is more important to him.

Although the son of the Marquis of Yue is capable, the Marquis of Yue's mansion does not have much military power now.In the future, the crown prince and the son of Yuehou will return from the border of Tubo together. The son of Yuehou may not only fail to help the prince, but will also drag the prince down, causing the prince to encounter more bumps on the way back to Chang'an.

Emperor Tianyuan didn't want to see this.

For Emperor Tianyuan, what he needs for Tubo and his party is someone who can not only prepare a lot of supplies, but also ensure that the prince can return to Chang'an safely.

Time passed little by little, and Emperor Tianyuan never spoke of praise.

The pride and confidence on Ye Shanwen's face gradually stopped.

Is that not enough?Obviously his mother gave him the idea, and he has already got so many supplies and money.Of these, in addition to preparing for the construction of a new city on the Tubo border, part of it can be sent to the Turkic border where my grandfather is, to reward the soldiers.

Ning Junchi only came out at this moment: "The minister has this performance."

Emperor Tianyuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Say."

"I have also prepared a lot for the crown prince to build a new city." Ning Junchi said all the materials and money he had prepared, but he did not prepare as much as the son of Yuehou.

Prince Yuehou was a little happy.

Emperor Tianyuan frowned slightly.

But I didn't want Ning Junchi to continue: "Besides, what the prince does is a major event for the country, and it is a good thing for the country and the people. Therefore, I said that I should listen to all my colleagues who have good friends with me. I have a feeling in my heart, and I hope that as I wish, each of you will give more than ten slaves to each of you, and remove their slave status."

Emperor Tianyuan's eyebrows relaxed, and the corners of his lips raised.

Ning Junchi continued: "Besides, wealthy businessmen from Chang'an City and several prefectures near Chang'an also sought out ministers, saying that they were willing to remove a certain number of slaves and maidservants in their families, and let them follow ministers to the Borderlands. Of course, in addition to sending servants and maids, these wealthy merchants also prepared two taels of silver for each of these servants. I just counted yesterday, and now there are a total of 3000 women who are willing to follow me to the borderlands. People. In this way, coupled with the materials and money prepared by the minister, I think it should be comparable to the son of Yuehou."

The room was silent.

Emperor Tianyuan laughed first: "Okay! Junchi, well done!"

It is obviously difficult for a strong man to force a woman from a good family to settle on the border.However, it is not so unacceptable to lure those women with profit, remove their slave status, turn them into civilians, and let them settle in border areas.

For the men on the border of Datang, only with a woman can they have a home.

Ning Junchi came up with a strange move, the son of Marquis Yue is no match for him.

When the queen heard about it, she immediately fell ill.

When he was sick, he forced the imperial physician to call Mr. Xin Guo.

Ning Junchi didn't understand what it meant, so he hurried over and heard his second sister speak.

"Jun Chi, it's time for you to get married. Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, you should marry one or more of them."
