Chapter 1145: Tubo Seeks Peace

"How do I feel that the slave is dissatisfied with me!" Morton accompanied Changle, who had just come out of confinement, to the Lizheng Palace to return to his parents' house, and happened to meet Li Zhi, who did not know that he had become a young public enemy in the world.

Princess Changle covered her mouth and smiled, and quietly whispered a few words in Merton's ear, and Merton suddenly realized.

He didn't expect that his parenting scripture would be implemented in the palace by the eldest grandson, and Li Zhi became the most direct victim.

Merton couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The amount of money in a month is still too little, it seems that the royal concept of poverty is really different from ordinary people." ”

"Let's find a chance to make amends to this poor child in the future!" Merton shook his head with a wry smile, and entered the Lizheng Hall with Princess Changle.

In the palace, Princess Changle and Empress Changsun were talking considerately, while Merton was called aside by Li Shimin.

"How long will it take for the firearms convoy to arrive in Chang'an?" Li Shimin asked.

Morton thought for a moment and said, "According to the report from the post station, the firearms convoy still has three days to reach Chang'an City. ”

On the way back, the firearms supervisor had already hurried with all his might, Rao was so, from Yumen Pass to Chang'an City, it still took more than a month, of course, compared with the previous march, it was already extremely fast.

"Hahaha, I can't wait to see this world-shattering master." Li Shimin laughed loudly.

This time in the west, the firearms supervisor can be said to have sprung up, first breaking through Gaochang City with one blow, and then in the field battle, 1,000 to 5,000, becoming famous in one fell swoop, but it was enough to surprise Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty rest assured, you will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty." Merton solemnly promised that after a life-and-death battle, the firearms supervisor had completed a qualitative transformation, which was enough to deliver a satisfactory answer to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded slowly, looked at Morton and hesitated, and said, "I called you, in addition to the matter of the firearms supervisor, there is another thing you need to know." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak." Merton was surprised.

A trace of strangeness appeared on Li Shimin's face and said: "Tubo sent an envoy to Tang to pay a heavy gift and want to ask for peace, and I am afraid that I will soon arrive in Chang'an City after counting the days." ”

"Tubo sent an envoy to Tang?" Merton raised his eyebrows, Tubo had just ambushed the firearms supervisor, this was simply an undeclared war, I didn't expect Tubo to be so bold and dare to come to Datang to sue for peace.

"The special envoy of the mission is Lu Dongzan?" Li Shimin spoke surprisingly again. ”

"Lu Dongzan?"

Morton's eyes suddenly lit up, Lu Dongzan was the mastermind behind the ambush of the firearms supervisor, but he didn't expect Lu Dongzan to throw himself into the net.

"A masterpiece of a generation!" Merton couldn't help but sigh.

Li Shimin nodded silently and said: "Lu Dongzan must know that his son has been buried in the yellow sand, and he will die for a lifetime, but he still came to the Tang Dynasty. ”

"No, the generation of heroes that Weichen said is not Lu Dongzan, but Songtsan Gampo." Merton shook his head.

"Songtsen Gampo!" Li Shimin couldn't help but be surprised, and looked at Merton in puzzlement.

Merton explained: "Lu Dongzan is indeed a generation of famous ministers, courage and courage are lacking, even if it is an ambush firearms supervisor, even if it is from a hostile position, Weichen has to say that Lu Dongzan is courageous, but Songtsan Gampo, who can drive such a person to be willing to die, is not even more terrifying." ”

While Merton praised Lu Dongzan, he did not forget to put gold on his face.

Li Shimin couldn't help but have a gleam in his eyes, and he couldn't help but think of Datang's intelligence about Songtsan Gampo, and he couldn't help but be a little more vigilant in his heart.

"In addition to seeking peace, Lu Dongzan also has a task on this trip, which is to ask for relatives for Songtsen Gampo." Li Shimin said.

"Asking for a kiss? His Majesty has ordered the Tang Dynasty not to make peace, not to cede land, not to pay compensation, what does Songtsen Gampo mean by this move? Merton couldn't help frowning.

Li Shimin laughed and said: "It is said that Songtsan Gampo actually fell in love with the daughter of a merchant of the Tang Dynasty, and even asked the Tang Dynasty for permission to marry this daughter as a princess." ”

Morton couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect to hear the story of the prince and Cinderella in the Tang Dynasty, but this story has changed its flavor no matter how it sounds.

Songtsen Gampo is the king of a country, how can he need Li Shimin's consent if he wants to marry the daughter of a merchant, I am afraid that he sees that the Tang Dynasty is no longer a princess, so he wants to fight for the title of princess in another way.

"I summoned you here because Lu Dongzan has an enmity with you, and I will leave the decision to you, how to deal with the Tibetan mission and Lu Dongzan, whether to make peace or war is up to you." Li Shimin looked at Merton and said.

On Qinling's ambush of the firearms supervisor, which caused the death of more than 100 firearms supervisors, and almost did not cause Princess Changle to give birth, the mastermind behind all this is Lu Dongzan, and now Lu Dongzan himself sent it to the door, which is the best time for Merton to take revenge.

And at this moment, the Tang Dynasty has just broken through Gaochang, and the power of gunpowder is terrifying, at this time, Tubo dares to provoke the Tang Dynasty, how can Li Shimin not be angry.

However, to Li Shimin's surprise, Merton shook his head slowly and said: "Weichen thinks that this is not the time to fight with Tubo, and it is appropriate to negotiate peace with Tubo this time." ”

"Peace talks?" Li Shimin couldn't help but be surprised, staring at Merton in disbelief, he didn't expect that Merton's enemy was in front of him, and he let Lu Dongzan go lightly.

Merton smiled bitterly: "The Tang Dynasty has just experienced an expedition, the treasury is empty, coupled with the economic development of the Tang Dynasty, there is a lot of money needed, and there is really no national strength to fight with Tubo again." ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but stiffen, Datang is indeed a strong country, but there are more places to spend money, and it really can't support two consecutive wars.

"What's more, Tubo has just been unified, Songtsen Gampo is in the prime of life, it is a generation of heroes, Tubo soldiers have always been brave and good at fighting, plus in the Tubo Plateau, altitude sickness is strong, our army's combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, there is no way to help Tubo, rather than let the Tang Dynasty have one more enemy, it is better to temporarily negotiate peace and appease Tubo." Merton explained.

"Altitude sickness! Is it really God bless Tibet! Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh, Rhodiola is not very effective in dealing with altitude sickness, and it can also alleviate altitude sickness in normal times, but once the war is vigorously exercised, Rhodiola has little effect, otherwise why wait so long, when Tubo ambushed the firearms prison, Datang may have sent troops to Tubo.

Merton shook his head and said: "No, the so-called altitude sickness is just an unsolved physiological reaction, as long as you can know its principle, you can solve the altitude sickness, and relying on the unsolved mystery between heaven and earth is the strength of the Mo family." ”

Li Shimin suddenly rejoiced and said: "Could it be that the Mo family already has a way to crack it." ”

"Not bad!" Morton nodded without hesitation and said, if Tubo has already torn his face with him, he and Tubo are already dying, so naturally there is no need to keep his hands.
