Early Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

At the entrance of the main hall, Li Chengqian waited for Li You to appear early, and he wanted to know in advance whether he was reliable in recommending Li You this time.

Soon, Lee Woo and Yin Hongji appeared.

"Fifth brother, you're back." Li Chengqian greeted him cordially.

"Brother of the courtier, see brother of the prince." In public, the etiquette should still be thorough. Li You greeted.

Li Chengqian asked in a low voice: "Fifth brother, did your uncle tell you, how is it, is there a way?" ”

Li You smiled: "Big brother, how can I disappoint you." Rest assured, it won't let you sit on wax. ”

Li Chengqian was overjoyed, glanced in the direction of Li Tai, and waited to see his joke.

Now, there are many people who are close to Li You, and they really want to greet Li You, but when they see Li Chengqian here, they can only nod or wave to him from a distance.

Li You said to Li Chengqian: "Big brother, I'll go and say hello to everyone." ”

Seeing Li Chengqian nodding, Li You walked to Cheng Yanjin and the others.

"Your Highness."

"Your Highness."

Everyone greeted Li You affectionately.

Many well-intentioned people found that Li You's popularity was very good, and so many ministers surrounded him to talk to him. Not only Li Ke and Li Tai, but even Li Chengqian envied Li You's popularity.

At this time, Xiao Qian came over, and Li You hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said, "Lord Xiao." ”

"Your Highness, you're back, you're done with your business, come to my house as a guest." Xiao Qian said.

"Okay, sure, I just have something to ask your old man." Li You said with a smile.

Xiao Dongchang didn't understand why his old man got close to Li You's guy.

"Go to court!" With a call, the morning dynasty began.

Seeing Li You, Li Shimin said happily: "Li You, when did you arrive?" ”

Li You said: "Father, the son received the holy decree and rushed back overnight last night. ”

"Well, that's good. You know everything, right, look at the national letter of Tubo, what is written on it? ”

Li You took over the Tubo credentials from Wang De.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and they all wanted to know if he could understand the words of this Fanbang.

Li You turned on the translation function and read: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I am the Lord of the Great Tubo State, Songtsan Gampo......"

It turned out that it was a request and a kiss came.

Songtsen Gampo asked to marry Li Shimin's princess and promised to establish peaceful, friendly and good-neighborly relations with the Tang Dynasty.

Li You wondered while reading it, Tubo should be courting a few years later, and the current Princess Wencheng is only 10 years old.

"It seems that the Tubo people should have come to explore the reality of the Tang Dynasty because of the Tuyuhun incident." Li Youxin said.

"Buzz, buzz." There was a burst of discussion in the main hall, and everyone was not talking about the content of the Tubo National Book, but marveling at Li You's ability to understand this heavenly book-like Tubo script.

Most people regret that they have lost a great opportunity to make money.

Li Tai wanted to cry very much, but he didn't understand how Li You became a monster.

Li Shimin was also very interested and asked, "Li You, how did you know this Tibetan script?" ”

Li You said: "Father, this Tibetan script is imitated from Indian Sanskrit, because one is close, and the other believes in Buddhism. However, the Tibetan language, that is, the Tibetan language, is also relatively close to the Chinese language.

The institute has a commercial department, and the sons have a lot of dealings with businessmen, and they also have a lot of contact with Tibetan businessmen. Erchen came into contact with a Tibetan teacher and learned from him. ”

"Oh, that's right." Li Shimin no longer asks this question.

He said: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the request of the Tubo people, do you agree or reject them? ”

Li Tai was furious, he hated these damn Tibetans in his heart, and he embarrassed himself again. He said: "Tubo, a small country, dares to marry my dignified princess of the Tang Dynasty, which is really delusional.

The retainers suggested that he refute his request and let them go back to the wilderness. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

The ministers did not know much about Tibet, and they thought the same as Li Tai, and looked down on the Tibetans in their hearts.

Fang Xuanling, Eldest Sun Wuji, Xiao Qian and others also didn't know about Tubo, but they thought it was inappropriate to deal with it so simply, but they didn't know what to say.

Xiao Qian asked, "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, do you know the situation in Tubo?" What do you think should be done? ”

Li Shimin said: "Li You, can you tell me about the situation in Tibet?" ”

Li You has long wanted to give the high-level officials of the Tang Dynasty a scientific overview of the situation in Tubo, otherwise, the decision made by the imperial court will definitely be deviated.

He said: "Tibet is a very weak country in people's minds, but it is not.

Six years ago, at the age of twelve, Songtsen Gampo took up the post of Tsampou. In the short period of three years that followed, the divided Tibetan tribes were united......"

Li You gave a lecture on the political, military, economic, and cultural situation in Tibet.

When the high-level leaders of the Tang Dynasty heard that Tubo had a population of more than 3 million, a unified country, a prosperous economy, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, they suddenly realized that a powerful country had risen in the western border of the Tang Dynasty.

"Buzz", there was another discussion in the hall.

Li Shimin asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the Tubo people's courtship?" At this time, he had already moved the idea of kissing.

Li Shimin famously said: "Marrying a daughter is better than 100,000 male soldiers." ”

During the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin extensively adopted a policy of harmony and proximity, and indeed played a positive role in disintegrating and dividing ethnic minorities and strengthening ethnic integration with the Tibetans, Tuyuhuns, Turks, and Tiele.

Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are in favor of making peace with Tubo. Tubo is located on the plateau, and it is not easy to conquer. If there is a war with them, it will be protracted, and this will be a waste of money and labor.

It is the best choice to establish a good neighborly and friendly relationship with them and avoid conflicts with them. ”

Hearing that Tibet was so powerful, the ministers were basically inclined to make peace with Tibet.

Even the belligerent military generals were reluctant to engage such an adversary on the plateau.

The crowd discussed for a long time, and their opinions basically converged.

Li You has now become the backbone of Li Chengqian, and he said: "Li You, King of Qi, what is your opinion? ”

Li Chengqian's words reminded everyone that they should listen to the opinions of His Royal Highness King Qi.

Li Shimin asked, "Li You, what do you think?" ”

Li You has been thinking about this question since yesterday. In his heart, he disapproves of harmony, but harmony is a historical convention, and it is not that he can change it if he says it, and he can only take advantage of the situation. He said: "Your Excellency is reasonable, and it is a good way to be kind.

However, harmony is divided into passive and pro and active and pro.

Passive and pro-friendly is to use Heqin to gain time and develop a strong self when our strength is weak. The effect of such harmony is usually not significant. ”
