The Tubo envoy Kezeng said: "You continue to check, you must find out the situation of the Tang Dynasty guards there, and report to me at any time." ”

The two Tu men saluted and left.

Kezeng asked: "How many people can we mobilize in Chang'an?" ”

A man dressed as a military general in the Tibetan mission said: "My lord, I have sent someone to find out the bottom of the lowly position, among the Tubo merchants in Chang'an, there are 120 people who can be mobilized, and they have notified the merchants around Chang'an, and about 100 people can be mobilized." ”

Kezeng said: "You are responsible for arranging for them to secretly gather in Chang'an, and wait until you find out the specific guards of Li Daozong's manor, and rescue Zampu." ”

"Yes, my lord, I will urge them to come to Chang'an." Said the man dressed as a military general.

After Li You left last night, Li Xueyan returned to Songtsan Ganbu and said to him: "Zampu, I believe that what my cousin said is true, and he is also under a lot of pressure for you to be able to return to Tus. Now he is the only one in the entire court who is willing to speak for you.

My cousin was a man of his word, and he genuinely helped the Persian king Hamid, and was good friends with Murong Bo, the Khan of Tuyuhun, and Prince Peidilan of the Great Food Empire, and with his help, all of them gained a foothold in themselves.

I hope you will also be able to be friends with my cousin, he also has the ability to speak, and will definitely help you and Tu Bo.

I won't compromise your determination, though, and whatever choice you make, I'll be there for you. ”

After this period of getting along, Songtsan Ganbu still believes in Li Xueyan, and now he basically sees clearly that he must return to Tusbo immediately for the current situation, and the only one who can help him is probably only this Li You.

He said, "Snow Goose, I believe in your words, you go back to rest first, let me think about it again." ”

Li Xueyan said gently: "Zampu, you have to take care of your body and rest early." After saying that, he took his leave and left.

Songtsen Ganbu summoned his henchmen around him, and told them the content of the conversation with Li You today. said: "If you have any ideas, tell me about them." ”

Someone said, "Zampu, the minister made a suggestion, but what he said was wrong. Please also ask Zampu to forgive your sins. ”

Songtsen Ganbu said: "Speak freely today, whatever you think, you can speak directly. ”

The man said: "Zampu, now that the situation in Tusbo is critical, you must leave Chang'an immediately and return to Luoqi City to preside over the overall situation." In addition, it is also dangerous to stay here, so it is not advisable to stay for a long time. The minister suggested that it would be better to agree to them for the time being, and get out of danger first. ”

Someone said: "Zampu, the minister thinks it is inappropriate, if you surrender to the Tang Dynasty, it will definitely affect your reputation in Tibet, and those who conspire to rebel can take advantage of this." Make a big fuss. ”

The man before said, "Even so, it's better than staying here and not being able to do anything." ”

The others gossiped a lot of opinions, and Songtsen Ganbu never expressed his position, but he synthesized everyone's opinions and already had an idea.

He said: "Look at this, I will temporarily agree to his conditions, in order to prevent those who conspire to rebel from using it as an excuse to sign a secret agreement with the Tang Dynasty, and when I return to Tibet to stabilize the overall situation, I will overturn this agreement with certainty according to the situation."

It's not that I don't be trustworthy, but because these hateful Tang Dynasty people used their intrigues and tricks first, and forcibly persecuted Tu Sbo later, I just treated others in the way of others. ”

"Also, Zampu is wise, and the minister approves." Said the man who first proposed it.

"The ministers are also in favor." Everyone said in unison.

Songtsen Ganbu made up his mind, settled down, and had a rare good night's sleep.

This morning, Li Xueyan came over to invite Songtsan Ganbu to have breakfast, and Songtsan Ganbu said: "Xueyan, I think what you said is reasonable, and good relations with the Tang Dynasty are conducive to the stable development of Tushibo, and I have decided to agree to the conditions proposed by your cousin and surrender to the Tang Dynasty." ”

These days, Li Xueyan has been worried that Songtsan Ganbu will have a stalemate with the Tang Dynasty, and he will worry about his life, and she doesn't want to be widowed before she has passed the door. Even if she can follow Songtsen Ganbu back to Luoqi City safely, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty are at odds, and it is difficult for her to be a person in the middle.

Hearing Songtsen Ganbu's statement, the stone in Li Xueyan's heart fell to the ground. She said happily, "Great! I knew that Zampu was wise and wise, and he would definitely be able to make the right choice. I'll send someone to inform my cousin. ”

Li Daozong was also very happy to hear the news, and he immediately sent someone to inform Li You.

When Li You heard the news, he was also very happy, and he immediately came to Li Daozong's manor and signed a series of agreements with Songtsan Ganbu.

Subsequently, at Li Daozong's manor, a simple celebratory banquet was held.

During the banquet, Songtsen Gabbu said: "Your Highness, the current situation in Tibet is critical, and I want to leave for Tibet immediately. ”

Li You said: "Zampu, this matter is still a little troublesome, my father and the ministers of the court still do not agree with you to leave Chang'an, and I still need to do work." ”

Songtsen Ganbu asked, "Time waits for no one, how long will it take you to get through the work?" ”

Li You said: "This matter is not clear in the telegram, and I will leave this afternoon to meet my father and make my opinion to him in person. ”

Li Xueyan and Li Daozong were very moved, the weather was cold, and it would be very hard to travel all the way, and the two of them expressed their gratitude to Li You together.

Songtsan Ganbu was also slightly moved in his heart, believing in some of Li You's sincerity. He said: "Your Highness, then I will work hard for you, I am here waiting for good news." ”

Northwest Palace.

On how to persuade Songtsan Gabbu, Pei Dilan gave Li You a lot of suggestions, and this method of meeting Li Shimin in person to state his opinions was also suggested to Li You. Li You thinks that this is also a good idea, firstly, it can make Songtsam Ganbu feel his sincerity, and secondly, it can also buy time for Songtsam Ganbu to leave Chang'an as soon as possible.

Li You was about to leave Chang'an temporarily, so he said goodbye to Pei Dilan.

Pei Dilan said: "Lao Li, it's such a cold day, it's boring for you to travel alone, it's better to let my brother and I accompany you." ”

Peidilan had his own plans, he hoped to get the support of the Tang Dynasty to realize his idea of taking over the position of caliph of the Great Food Empire in the future. Therefore, he not only wants to have a good relationship with Li You, but also hopes to have a good relationship with Li Shimin. He has never had the opportunity to meet Li Shimin, and even if Li Shimin returns to Chang'an, he will meet him at most once and a half, which will not achieve the effect of making Li Shimin familiar with him. He followed Li You to see Li Shimin, and he will definitely be able to leave a deep impression on Li Shimin.

Li You already had the idea of helping Pei Dilan, and he also hoped that Li Shimin would increase his understanding of the Great Food Empire and Pei Dilan, he said: "Okay, share weal and woe, this is a good brother." However, let's go out to run errands, so don't take that woman with you! ”

Pei Dilan said: "Look at what you said, am I a person who can't do without women? ”

Li You smiled: "Aren't you? ”

Pei Dilan also smiled: "You guy, you look down on people too much, let's go." ”

In order to be in a hurry, Li You didn't eat dinner with Pei Dilan and others, and set out on the road directly.
