Chapter 650: Sixteen Years of Zhenguan, the Revenge of the Future People
"Boom...!" "Boom...!" "Boom...!" "Boom...!" "Boom...!"
In the canyon, explosions rang out, and the souls of those Tubo soldiers who were frightened by this sudden explosion were gone, and the Tubo army was cut in half by the explosion.
Songtsen Gampo, who heard the explosion, sat up from the stretcher that carried him, looked behind him in horror and shouted, "What's the matter, why is there still an explosion here?" ”
"I don't know... I don't know... The king is not investigating why there is still an explosion at this time, now we have to leave this place immediately! ”
"You mean to let this king ignore my soldiers?" Songtsen Gampo looked at the other party with angry eyes.
It's just that at this moment... The Tibetan general who spoke violently pressed down on Songtsen Gampo, and then shouted to the Tibetan soldiers behind him: "Run... Don't care about the people behind, we must take the king back to Tibet, and after we go back, all the blame will be borne by Ben General. ”
Following the order of the Tibetan general, those Tibetan soldiers began to flee from Tuyuhun with their lives.
So much so that in the end, the 5,000 cavalry ambushed by Li Zhan did not catch up, and just watched Songtsen Gampo run away... However, what made Li Zhan proud was that although this Songtsen Gampo escaped, after returning to Tibet, Songtsen Gampo fell ill.
As soon as Songtsen Gampo fell ill, the border between the two countries became peaceful.
...........................
At the same time, Chang'an City, at this time Lu Dongzan is still infinitely beautiful, the fourth question, Li Shimin handed over to the envoys a hundred pieces of pine wood, so that Kalu Dongzan can distinguish its roots and tips.
Sure enough, Lu Dongzan asked all the wood to be transported to the river and thrown into the water. The roots of the wood sink slightly into the water, while the treetops are lighter but float on the surface, and the roots of the wood are obvious.
Follow the fifth question, enter and exit the palace at night without getting lost.
One night, a big drum suddenly sounded in the palace, and Li Shimin summoned envoys from all walks of life to the palace to discuss things. Lu Dongzan thought that when he first came to Chang'an, he was not familiar with the road, so in order not to get lost, he painted marks on key road sections.
When they arrived at the palace, the emperor told them to go back at once, to see who would not go the wrong way back to their quarters. As a result, Lu Dongzan won again with the mark he had made in advance.
Seriously, after Lu Dongzan's fifth question was successfully answered, Li Zhan was about to go crazy, and at this time Li Zhan had not come back, and the whole army did not even have the backbone, but fortunately, Li Shimin also thought of a difficult topic.
That's the sixth question, identifying the princess.
On this day, Li Shimin and the ministers came to the palace to personally conduct the test. But seeing the 300 palace maids who were gorgeously dressed and looked like them, they were lined up from the palace in two teams on the left and right, like 300 heavenly immortals floating from the air, light, chic, and handsome, and the people who watched were dazzled.
The other envoys had no idea, and they didn't know which one was Princess Wencheng, but Lu Dongzan knew Li Qian's appearance and physical characteristics because he had received the advice of the Han lady who had served Li Qian in advance: the body was graceful and slender, the complexion was fair, the eyes were bright, the personality was resolute and gentle, there were dice dots on the right cheek, a lotus pattern on the left cheek, a yellow dan circle on the forehead, white and fine teeth, a green lotus fragrance in the mouth, and a mole on the neck.
Lu Dongzan repeatedly recognized, and finally recognized the princess in the sixth place in the left row.
At this time, Li Qian's face was really like ashes, not only Li Qian's face was like ashes, Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Chengqian, Li Ke and others also showed panicked expressions.
Why... Because of big trouble, Li Zhan is not an ordinary princess, she is Li Zhan's sister, and Li Zhan has already confessed when he left, Li Qian will not be sent to Tubo.
Now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and Li Shimin is not good at going back on his word, after all, the envoys of so many countries are watching there, and they are frozen there all of a sudden, but the corners of Lu Dongzan's mouth are smiling, it is the spring breeze that is proud.
Looking at Lu Dongzan's spring breeze, all the Tang officials didn't feel good in their hearts, because why did Tubo have such a demon, and they couldn't wait to go up and give this Lu Dongzan an axe, and directly chop Lu Dongzan to death.
"Your Majesty...!" Just when the audience was silent, Lu Dongzan stepped forward and smiled briskly: "The subordinate has already recognized the princess, isn't it, the princess is going to marry us in Tibet." ”
"Uh... This...! Li Shimin didn't know what to say for a while.
At this time, Lu Dongzan laughed and said, "Your Majesty won't give Tubo a chance, right...?" ”
There was no way, Li Shimin was directly commanded by Lu Dongzan, and he had no choice but to prepare to give an order, but at this time, suddenly, Li Junxian ran over from outside, and whispered in Li Shimin's ear: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin successfully recovered Tuyuhun and defeated Tubo and Tuyuhun coalition army, the siege of Suzhou has been lifted, Songtsan Gampo only returned to Tubo with only 300 cavalry, and he was seriously ill as soon as he arrived in Tubo. ”
"Haha... Ha ha...! After Li Shimin heard Li Junxian's whisper, he immediately stood up from the dragon chair, showed a playful smile and said, "Lu Dongzan!" ”
"The subordinate is here...!" At this time, Lu Dongzan didn't know anything, and he was still proud, thinking that he was playing with the ministers of the Tang Dynasty.
"Whether Princess Wencheng is going to marry you Tubo or not, we will discuss it tomorrow... Because you don't have something to do in Tibet, you have to go back first, as for Princess Wencheng is still young, let's play for a few more years. ”
After Li Shimin finished speaking, Lu Dongzan frowned, and the Songtsan Inca next to him wanted to speak to refute, but was stopped by Lu Dongzan.
Oops... They are all human spirits, Li Shimin's two sentences, coupled with the change in attitude, have already made Lu Dongzan vigilant.
followed Lu Dongzan bowed slightly, saluted Li Shimin, and then left directly with Songtsan Inca, and when Lu Dongzan returned to his place, the bad news finally came.
Hou Guangliang led his troops to a great victory in Suzhou, Li Zhan recovered Tuyuhun, and followed Li Zhan to ambush Songtsen Gampo, fortunately, Songtsan Gampo had a big life and fled back to Tubo, but now Songtsan Gampo is seriously ill.
At this time, he urgently needed Lu Dongzan to go back, and this news suddenly made Lu Dongzan change from smug to depressed, he never thought that Datang would directly send troops to relieve the siege of Suzhou.
Solving the problem in Chang'an by himself is actually a delaying tactic of the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, and he is the one who is being tricked.
On the contrary, when Lu Dongzan was depressed, Li Shimin's manna hall was full of joy and laughter.
"Haha... I'll just say that His Royal Highness King Qin will not disappoint His Majesty, take a look... The siege of Suzhou has been lifted, Tuyuhun has recovered, and the king of Tubo has been beaten to a sick illness...! ”
Hou Junji praised Li Zhan loudly.
At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said: "In the siege of Suzhou, Guangliang has the greatest credit, and he fought very well...!" ”
Looking at the eldest grandson Wuji, Hou Junji smiled and said, "What is this... Guangliang is a soldier in the hands of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and Guangliang's credit is all His Royal Highness the King of Qin. When he said this, Hou Junji also looked at the other generals who had sons proudly, and the strength of the pride was clean.
"Cut...!" Many veterans looked at Hou Junji's pride with disdain.
In the end, Li Shimin smiled and said: "King Qin, Guangliang... They are all heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and when I come back this time, I will definitely reward them, and now I have to see if Lu Dongzan knows each other tomorrow. ”
"Lu Dongzan is very smart, he will definitely leave tomorrow." Fang Xuanling smiled slightly.
Sure enough, it was the same as Fang Xuanling thought, and the next day, Lu Dongzan came over to accuse, saying that Tubo was delusional and didn't dare to mention marrying the princess again, but just hoped that he and Datang would always be friendly and not invade each other.
This is a complete recognition...!
Seeing that Lu Dongzan was so knowledgeable about current affairs, Li Shimin waved his pen and gave Lu Dongzan a large number of Buddhist scriptures, asked Lu Dongzan to bring back to Tubo, and asked Lu Dongzan to tell Songtsan Gampo that the Tang Dynasty was willing to reconcile with Tubo for generations.
That's it... The honeymoon period of Tibet and the Tang Dynasty began.
After Lu Dongzan returned to Tubo and saw Songtsen Gampo, the two were also silent, and finally Songtsen Gampo told Lu Dongzan the reason for the defeat, and when Lu Dongzan knew that the defeat was because of a weapon that could explode.
Lu Dongzan expressed his opinion, that is, when he didn't figure out the weapons that the Tang Dynasty had, Tubo no longer used swords and soldiers, and Songtsan Gampo agreed, and because of this, during the time when Songtsan Gampo was alive, Tubo and Datang had always been peaceful.
............................
A month later, Li Zhan returned to the court, and just when everyone thought that the king of Qin could go to the next level, Li Zhan suddenly came to the table, demanding that all power be relieved and go to the fiefdom of Dengzhou.
The first time the table was rejected by Li Shimin, but Li Zhan was on the table three times in a row.
Li Shimin knew that Li Zhan had made up his mind, so he had no choice but to agree to Li Zhan to go to his fiefdom, and after Li Zhan was on the table, other princes also went to the table one after another, Li Ke, Li You, Li Su... Except for Li Tai, who was still completing the "Chronicles of the Territory", all the adult princes went to the fiefdom one after another.
Unlike in the past, these princes no longer have any nostalgia for Chang'an's throne.
As soon as Li Zhan left, Dunhuafang was left to Li Chengqian, and Li Zhan took away 10,000 tiger troops... As for the Tiger Army being left behind by Li Zhan, Li Dafu, Yue Niang, Li Qian, Li Sheng... followed Li Zhan to Dengzhou.
Dragon's tooth, the marquis, Lijingmen... also followed Li Zhan to Dengzhou.
However, the bad guy Wei Chang was left to Li Chengqian by Li Zhan, you must know that now Wei Chang is in charge of the bad guys, and leaving it to Li Chengqian can also help Li Chengqian.
Oh... By the way, Hua Gu was also taken away by Li Zhan, at first Li Zhan didn't want to take it, but later Li Zhan knew that Hua Gu was actually Wu Zetian, according to Li Zhan's ruthlessness, Hua Gu should be cut down with one knife, so that it can be a hundred.
It's just that in the end, he already has feelings, so Li Zhan took Hua Gu with him.
Ay... Hua Gu was taken away, Li Zhi was the saddest, but it was useless to be sad, Li Zhan would not let Li Zhi and Hua Gu come into contact.
When Li Zhan left, Li Chengqian cried very miserably, and he kept holding Li Zhan like this and didn't let go, but if Li Zhan wanted him to be independent, he had to leave, the so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and leaving at this time is the best choice.
That's it, Zhenguan ten years... Li Zhan, the king of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, entered the fiefdom on the table, did not take away a trace of nostalgia, and left directly.
Since then, Datang has entered the strongest period, first of all, Datang's sweet potatoes have fully blossomed and borne fruit, and it took three years to promote, probably in the fourteenth time of Zhenguan, sweet potatoes have become the most common side dish in Datang.
In the past four years, its high yield has saved tens of millions of people in Datang, not only that, but sweet potatoes have also begun to change in many stages and become a lot of delicacies.
In addition to sweet potatoes, there is also the success of movable type printing, movable type printing has become the hope of the Tang Dynasty, the cost of books has dropped again and again, and many children of the poor have books to read.
Subsequently, the Tang Dynasty opened the imperial examination system, and a large number of outstanding children from poor families entered the officialdom, which greatly alleviated the dilemma of having no successors in the Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, Li Shimin also built schools everywhere in Datang, because the treasury was full, all the monthly salaries of the gentlemen were subsidized by the household department, as long as the children reached the age of six, no matter who your parents were, whether they were farmers or merchants... You can all enter the school to learn knowledge.
In addition, gold and silver coins have been fully deployed, and now everyone does not need to bring a lot of money on the street, as long as they bring a gold coin and a few silver coins, they can go shopping and eat.
It greatly facilitates the travel of the people of Datang, and of course, it is more to reduce the cumbersomeness of business.
In August of the 11th year of Zhenguan, Shi Ma Zhou went to the imperial court and suggested that the government should pay attention to the selection of local officials in prefectures and counties. When Li Shimin heard this, he thought it was true, and decided that in the future, he would personally choose the assassin history, and the county order would be one person from each of the Beijing officials above the fifth rank.
The tax system that Li Shimin began to implement was mainly based on collecting grain, cloth, or serving the government. It is a service system based on the implementation of the uniform field system. This system stipulates that all households with equal land, regardless of the amount of land granted by their families, shall pay a fixed amount of taxes and perform a certain amount of forced labor.
There are also changes to the military system of the government, where the military government is located, there are land regiments, and soldiers cannot move out of the border at will; Usually farming, farming and martial arts, when there is something to go out, its main task is to guard and defend the army.
Fanshang Suwei, that is, take turns to go to the Beijing Division, and give Fan, according to the distance from Chang'an.
The decree stipulates: five times outside a hundred miles (that is, the soldiers in each prefecture are in a group of five people, and these five people take turns to go to Chang'an to guard, and so on, but the seven and nine groups are not exhausted, and there should be leftovers), seven times outside five hundred miles, eight times outside a thousand miles, one month each; Two thousand miles away nine times, two months each.
The guards of the inner government (three guards) except for the two capitals and their neighboring states must be guarded, and the rest of the states are paid to serve on behalf of the army.
The government soldiers went to Chang'an to guard and were led by the twelve guard generals. The troops are commanded by the imperial court, and when dispatched, they must hold the fish charm under the military department, and only after the state assassin history and the generals of the Zhichong Prefecture can they send troops.
At the end of the war, the troops will be scattered in the government and will return to the court. In this way, the commander will not be able to support his own troops.
............................
All of the above... Li Zhan didn't have any response, even if Li Zhan knew that the Juntian system would collapse in the end, and he knew that the government military system would not last long, but Li Zhan did not intervene.
Why... Because Li Zhan knew that these things had to follow the development of history, Li Zhan didn't want to interfere too much in history.
Even after Li Zhan arrived in Dengzhou, there was no other kind of technology, because Li Zhan was avoiding the development of science and technology, and Li Zhan wanted to leave a relatively peaceful world for the future... Oh, by the way, although Li Zhan did not invent other technologies, there are still technologies that benefit the people, such as cotton seed removal machines, and now the people of the Tang Dynasty have cotton clothes to wear.
In this way, Li Zhan stayed in Dengzhou for six years.
And in this year... In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, a major event happened, and Li Zhan knew that the early occurrence of this major event should be the revenge of the future people.
