Li You smiled: "Accompany him well and let him eat and have fun." ”

Li Daozong asked puzzledly: "How simple is it, doesn't you need a minister to persuade him?"

"No, if he has any questions, let him come to me." Li You said.

Li Daozong was very worried that he would stiffen, and he asked worriedly: "What if he leaves Chang'an, you won't stop him, right?" ”

"Whatever he wants, let him go if he wants to go. However, I don't expect him to leave. Li You said confidently.

Li Daozong was very worried that Songtsan Ganbu would secretly leave Chang'an, and Li Xueyan would be sad if the marriage was blown, and he, Li Daozong, would also become the laughing stock of others. He asked, "Your Highness, are you sure?" ”

Li You smiled: "Don't worry, Songtsan Ganbu is not a simple person, he just wants to turn his face with the Tang Dynasty, and he has to figure out the situation, he will never do it." ”

Li Daozong had many contacts with Songtsen Ganbu during this time, and from his speech and demeanor, it could be seen that this person was a shrewd and capable person, and he should not act recklessly.

Li Daozong calmed down and asked, "If he brings up something like a visit, how should the minister reply?" ”

Li You smiled: "Whatever, he can watch whatever he wants." Even the military academy and the armament superintendent can be seen by him, and the income of the state treasury and the establishment of the army can also be seen by him. He is your son-in-law, and the Tang Dynasty has no secrets about him. ”

Li Daozong said with a smile: "The minister understands, this is what you said about the great power Yangmou, if he has seen the gap between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, he will make a wise choice." ”

Temporary guest house of King Wei's mansion.

Li You is right, Songtsen Ganbu's thinking has undergone some changes in the past few days, and he walked on the streets of Chang'an, and the horror in his heart was no worse than that of Pei Dilan. He felt that the wealth of the entire Tusbo was probably not as good as a Chang'an City.

After seeing the map of the whole Tang Dynasty at Li Daozong's mansion, his impulse to start a war with the Tang Dynasty weakened a lot.

Songtsan GNBU is a big hero, he is not afraid of war with the Tang Dynasty, but he is also a wise person, familiar with military books and war strategies, and understands the truth that knowing oneself and knowing the other is invincible. He was determined to thoroughly understand the strength of the Tang Dynasty before making a decision.

However, he knew that he could not return to Tibet for the time being, and he was worried about the internal stability of Tibet, so he wanted to send Vice Lun (Deputy Prime Minister) Gao Geyue back to Tibet.

On this day, Songtsen Ganbu discussed the matter with Gao Geyue.

Songtsen Gampo said, "According to what I have explained, you should rush back as soon as possible." ”

Gao Geyue said: "The minister obeys the order. But now that the minister is leaving Chang'an, what if the Tang Dynasty people stop him? ”

Songtsen Gampo was also a little worried, he said: "I have thought about this matter, you can go to the people of Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty, and say that after seeing the gifts sent by other countries to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I think that the gifts prepared by Tubo are a little less, and I am ready to send someone back to send some more gifts." Ask them to issue a clearance paper.

If they agree, you can return to Tibet with the customs clearance papers, and if they don't agree, it shows that they have the intention of putting us under house arrest, and we will think of countermeasures. ”

Gao Geyue said: "Yes, Zampu, the minister will go to find the people of Honglu Temple." ”

After so many years, Tang Fei, the secretary of Honglu Temple, still holds this position, but with the increasing frequency of foreign affairs in the Tang Dynasty, the level of Honglu Temple at this time has been improved from the original fourth grade to the third grade.

Tang Fei, like Wang Xuance, was one of the important executors of Li You's foreign policy, and he knew about the division and disintegration of Tibet.

Tang Fei received a report that Tubo was going to send someone back to Tubo, and he couldn't make up his mind about this matter, so he came to the Northwest Palace, and asked to see Li You.

Li You asked, "Who are the people who want to go back?" ”

Tang Fei said: "The more their deputy Lun Gaoge wants to go back in person. Chen felt that there was a problem here, and there was no need to send someone of Gao Geyue's level back to organize such a thing as a gift. ”

Li You smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, just let him leave." ”

Tang Fei asked with some puzzlement: "Your Highness, the Tubo people already know that the envoys from Nepal and other countries have come to Chang'an, and they must have been very clear about their intention to divide the Tibetans. Doesn't letting him go back at this time means letting them go back to guard against us? ”

Li You said: "It doesn't matter. Just let them get ready. Isn't Songtsam Ganbu still gone? Just look at him. ”

Tang Fei asked, "Your Highness, can you explain it to the minister more thoroughly, so that the minister can have a good idea in his heart." ”

Li You said: "At this stage, what we have to do is to cut off the wings of Tubo and separate all their vassal states, but we still need to keep them stable within Tubo." This is helpful for the imperial court's plan to go west to Tianzhu in the next step, and letting Gao Geyue go back is exactly what we need. ”

When Li You planned to conquer the South Asian continent westward, he opened a transportation line in Tibet and set up supply stations along the way. The stability of Tibet is very important.

Tang Fei said: "Your Highness, recently the minister found out that Songtsen Ganbu's subordinates often go in and out of the eastern and western cities, and they should be secretly plotting something with those merchants from Tibet. ”

Li You smiled: "Tracking and monitoring these things is not what you are good at, so you don't care about these things." You just have to pay attention to the movements of Songtsen Ganbu alone. As long as he doesn't leave Chang'an, you don't have to report anything else to me. ”

Tang Fei said: "The minister understands, the minister will go to handle the customs clearance documents for the Tubo people." ”

After requesting the Honglu Monastery to send someone back to Tibet, Songtsen Ganbu and Gao Geyue were nervous, fearing that the Tang Dynasty would reject their request. Then it is clear that the Tang Dynasty people put them under house arrest. Even though they were mentally prepared for this, they still didn't want that to happen.

Soon after, Honglu Temple sent someone to inform him, saying that he would immediately go to handle the customs clearance documents for the Tubo people, and would go to Menxia Province to receive the order to use the post station.

Songtsan Ganbu breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't understand the Tang Dynasty a little.

The Tang Dynasty's intention to divide Tu S Bo is already obvious, Songtsan Gabbu is trapped in Chang'an at this time, it is a good opportunity for the Tang Dynasty to divide and disintegrate Tu S Bo internally, he doesn't understand why the Tang Dynasty will agree to Gao Ge Yue to go back, isn't this clearly giving Songtsan Ganbu a chance to grasp the situation in Tu S.

Either way, Songtsen Ganbu is still glad.

He said, "I will write you a decree that you will preside over the affairs of Tubo during my absence." After you go back, you must firmly control the court to prevent internal divisions. If there is a rebel from within, you have to take resolute measures and deal with it decisively.

As for the vassal states, as soon as you return, send envoys to their lords to find out what is going on. But whatever the case may be, don't conflict with it for the time being, and I'll deal with it when I get back. ”

Gao Geyue said: "The minister obeys the order. Zanpu, please rest assured, the minister will definitely have a firm grasp of the situation in Tus. However, the minister is still worried about your safety, and the minister has a suggestion: Can you marry the daughter of King Li Junwang as soon as possible, which will play a certain role in protecting your safety. ”

Songtsen Gampo nodded and said, "I will consider this question." Pack up and get out as soon as possible. ”

Songtsen Gampo has been wandering around Chang'an City these days, except for going to Li Daozong's house, he has seen many things in the Tang Dynasty that are superior to Tubo, and he has also purchased a large number of books that are publicly sold on the market, and he feels that it will be of great help to the development of Tushibo.

He was not satisfied with these superficial gains, and hoped to be able to get in touch with more advanced things in the Tang Dynasty. He was worried that the Tang people would suspect his motives, so he wanted to visit some institutions that were far away from military and political affairs.

On this day, after Songtsan Ganbu and Li Xueyan had a while, they asked: "I heard that there is an industrial city in Chang'an, and I want to go and see it, I wonder if you can help me arrange it?" ”
