Songtsen Gampo wanted to unify Tibet, but the old aristocracy of Tibet was indeed an obstacle.

Let's not talk about how Li Zheng knew about this, could it be that Li Shimin also knows the situation in Tibet now.

In the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin summoned the ministers again, and they were still arguing about whether it was an alliance with Tubo this time.

Each has its own reasoning.

An alliance with Tibet is the safest and least risk-free.

If the land in the Hexi Corridor is given up, I will always be unwilling.

Li Shimin thought of Li Zheng, what is this kid doing now?

Are you happy again?

What would he think if Li Zheng was here?

With a stroke of the pen, dozens of speech officials were impeached in a row, and he, Li Zheng, was the first one in the dynasty to dare to do so.

It seems that this kid really doesn't care about his reputation.

On the contrary, those officials punched the cotton, and for a dead pig like Li Zheng, who is not afraid of boiling water, those impeachments are not painful or itchy for him.

Li Zheng, who was in Jingyang, was still pondering the secret recipe for making pulp, and when he saw Cheng Chumo coming, he said happily: "Brother Chumo hasn't seen you for a long time." ”

Cheng Chumo said: "I have been confined to my home by the old goods in the family for the past two days, I heard that you have impeached those officials, it is really too happy, you should drink and celebrate." ”

I heard Li Ke say that Cheng Chumo was in trouble.

Li Zheng asked again: "Your Cheng family's spirits have been selling well recently." ”

Cheng Chumo nodded, "It's not bad." ”

Clearing his throat, Li Zheng said, "Isn't it time to divide the money?" ”

Cheng Chumo looked at Li Zheng with a look of disdain, "Are you very short of money?" ”

Money is never too little, there is a way that a penny is difficult to defeat heroes, and sometimes life is not comfortable and often related to insufficient money.

"Your Cheng family shouldn't be repaying the debt." Li Zheng took a step back and said, "We have a contract, believe it or not, see you in court?" ”

Seeing that Li Zheng was dying and asking for money, Cheng Chumo said helplessly: "I'll send it to you in a few days." ”

Li Zheng stopped, "It's okay, I'll give you a few more days." ”

Cheng Chumo sighed: "You don't have to do anything, just making wine and selling it outside are all from our Cheng family, you just sit on the ground and share the money." ”

Shaking the pu fan in his hand, Li Zheng said: "This is called knowledge, and knowledge is wealth." ”

There is a bit of reason, Cheng Chu nodded thoughtfully.

"I heard that you also killed the horses of the Tibetans?"

Li Zheng nodded.

Cheng Chumo looked Li Zheng up and down, and slapped his shoulder, "I always thought you were a dead man who wanted money, but I didn't expect you to be an iron-clad man." ”

Li Zheng coughed vigorously, and Cheng Chumo's palm almost didn't slap his back.

Soothing his breath, Li Zheng said again: "I don't know if the Tubo people will come to seek revenge." ”

Cheng Chu silently shouted: "They dare! ”

Li Zheng looked around and said: "Recently, I need to hire a few more bodyguards, His Royal Highness the King of Shu's guard is really not reliable enough, and I don't know where others have gone." ”

Cheng Chumo said again: "Recently, some people in the DPRK and China want to make peace with Tibet. ”

"Summation? Why? ”

"I also know that there are some civil officials who say that they want to recuperate their national strength and cannot easily start a war with Tibet."

Li Zheng sneered, the fear of human nature.

"Do you think Datang should make peace?"

"Of course not!"

"Why not!"

Hearing an abrupt voice, Cheng Chumo looked up and immediately saluted.

Li Zheng also looked up and was startled, "Brother, why are you here?" ”

Cheng Chu silently tugged at Li Zheng's sleeve and whispered, "Call Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin was not angry, smiled and said, "It's okay." ”

Embarrassed, Li Zheng smiled and said, "I can't change my mouth for a while." ”

Cheng Chumo was surprised in his heart, Li Zheng seemed to have a good relationship with His Majesty?

I feel strange in my heart, I still call it Your Majesty's brother?

Could it be that Li is the sworn brother of His Majesty today?

Li Shimin looked at the scenery here and said: "Sometimes I envy your life, without those troubles in the court, you can be so happy and happy." ”

"Where, where."

Li Shimin asked: "You say that the Tang Dynasty should not seek peace with Tibet?" ”

Li Zheng nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Why?"

Li Zheng sat down and shook the pu fan weakly and said, "Because Tuyuhun Datang must be taken." ”

Li Shimin nodded, "You go on." ”

"Tuguhun is involved in the Hexi Corridor, from the pre-Qin to the Han Dynasty, it has always been a battleground outside the Guan, for Guanzhong, the Hexi Corridor is an important pass to open the Guanwai, and for the Guanwai, the Hexi Corridor is a passage for them to advance into the Central Plains."

"If this position is taken away by outsiders, it will be a knife hanging over the head of the Central Plains, and the border will always be restless."

Li Shimin agreed with Li Zheng's idea in his heart, the Hexi Corridor is indeed a battleground, and nothing can be said to be so easily ceded to the Tubo people.

However, thinking of those remarks of the DPRK and China, Li Shimin said: "The ministers of the DPRK all said that at this time, there should be no war with Tibet, and peace is the best. ”

There are always such people, for whom there is an inexplicable fear of the slightest risk.

Li Zheng said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought that Tubo is not strong at all. ”

"What do you say?"

With a meaningful smile, Li Zheng said to Li Shimin: "Does Your Majesty know about the empty city plan? Zhuge Kongming set up an empty city to scare Sima Yi away. ”

"Empty city? I know Zhuge Kongming, but I don't know that there is such a thing as an empty city plan. ”

"Do you know the thirty-six plans?"

Li Shimin still shook his head.

Only then did Li Zheng remember that the thirty-six plans were only available in the Ming Dynasty, and the empty city plan was also compiled by later generations.

Then he explained to Li Shimin: "What I mean is that Songtsen Gampo's large-scale attack on Tuyuhun is to make us suspicious and make us suspect the strength of Tubo. ”

"Songtsen Gampo used tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to burn and loot in Tuyuhun, scaring more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, do you think this is a big joke?"

"You mean, Tubo doesn't have the strength to fight with the Tang Dynasty at all?"

Li Zheng said: "No. ”

"What basis do you have?"

Li Zheng thought for a while and said: "Tubo is vast and sparsely populated, and the population is not large, relying on geographical advantages, they can naturally attack the Western Regions and Tuyuhun, but if they really want to fight an offensive and defensive war with the Tang Dynasty, do the Tubo people know how to attack the city?" ”

Li Shimin thought about Li Zheng's words, his eyes gradually cleared, and he woke up in his dream, and the people in his dreams were really confused by the authorities, and the bystanders were clear.

"The Tibetans don't have a city wall, and even if they do, they're all low walls."

Looking at the peaceful village, my mind is much clearer.

Li Shimin asked again: "Tuyuhun came to ask for help, do you think Datang wants to support them?" ”

"Of course, I want to help."

"Oh, is it? How many troops do you think you need to send? ”

Li Zhengwei said with a smile: "Not a single soldier or soldier will be sent out." ”

Li Shimin asked suspiciously: "What you said is not right, you keep saying that you support Tuyuhun but do not send troops, is this also support?" ”
