Li You's eldest son, Li Yu, is 7 years old this year, and Xiao Wanyu sends Li Yu to study in the Chongwen Hall in the East Palace every morning.

That morning, Xiao Wanyu saw Li Yu enter the class, and she came to the East Palace to chat with the crown princess Su and Hou Haitang, the daughter of the side concubine Hou Junji. In the chat, they relayed the news of Li You's departure to Li Chengqian.

The reason why Li You did this was to prevent Li Chengqian from getting involved in the affairs about Tibet, and to tell him his whereabouts.

In order to save time, Li You and the others did not take a carriage, but rode a horse, the cold wind was steep, and the hardships on the road can be imagined.

Pei Dilan regretted it a little, and felt that it was better to hide in the gentle countryside with the beauty in her arms and enjoy it. However, seeing Li You working so hard for the matter of Songtsam Ganbu deepened his trust in Li You's work, and he believed that Li You would definitely do his best for his own affairs.

Li Shimin fought everywhere in his early years, and was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, and later he was in Chang'an day and night to deal with government affairs, and he did not have time to visit his own beautiful rivers and mountains. After the great victory of the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, Li Shimin was in a very good mood, and on the way back, he had just walked to Huazhou, which was more than 500 miles away from the eastern capital Luoyang.

At noon that day, the weather in Huazhou was very good, and Li Shimin, accompanied by Huazhou Thorn Shi and others, was visiting the local scenic spot Wagangzhai, which has become a famous attraction.

In order to invigorate the local economy and curry favor with the Korean and Chinese bigwigs from the original Wagangzhai, he rebuilt the famous local Wagangzhai. Cheng Yanjin, Xu Maogong, Qin Huaiyu, Qin Qiong's descendant and others have provided a lot of help in this matter, and also praised the history of Huazhou Thorn.

Li Shimin's main generals in the Qin Palace, a considerable number of people came from the tile pot village, and after hearing that the tile pot village was rebuilt, Li Shimin also suddenly came to be interested, so he came to visit.

Li Shimin stood on the tower of Wagangzhai, listening to Li Ji, who accompanied him, explain the situation of the year, and with Li Ji's narration, Li Shimin's thoughts also drifted back to the eventful years of the war.

At that time, Li Shimin was still the king of Qin, and the Tang Dynasty was still facing the fragmented land of China.

Suddenly, someone said, "Your Majesty, look who's coming." ”

Li Shimin fixed his eyes and saw a team of people in the distance, and the leader turned out to be Li You. Next to him was a young man dressed in an interracial costume, who he didn't know who it was.

Li You's sudden arrival surprised Li Shimin, and he didn't understand that with such a convenient communication tool as the telegraph, what other important things could make Li You brave the cold and freeze and come all the way to urgently ask to see him.

He said, "Pass him up." ”

Li Shimin met with Li You and Pei Dilan in the meeting hall of Wagangzhai.

After Li Shimin accepted Pei Dilan's salute, he exchanged a few words of greeting with him, and asked him to rest first, and said that he would talk to him in detail when he returned.

He asked Li You solemnly, "You suddenly ran here, did something major happen in Chang'an?" ”

Li You said: "That's not true, my prince's brother is conscientious, and nothing happened in Chang'an City." Erchen came specifically for the affairs of Tibet. ”

Li You reported the situation in Tibet to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin groaned and didn't speak, and after a while, he said, "Didn't I already tell you, won't this matter be dealt with when I return to Chang'an?" ”

Seeing Li Shimin's disapproval of the affairs of Tubo, Li You was secretly anxious in his heart, and he said: "Father, the emperor and his sons came from thousands of miles away, and they really think that the situation in Tubo is serious and it is urgent to take measures as soon as possible. “

He made a detailed analysis of his feelings for Tibet, and said: "Father, the emperor, and the sons believe that maintaining the stability of Tibet is more conducive to the implementation of the imperial court's policy of appeasing the people and calming down the people than causing division within Tibet, and has laid a good foundation for the future expedition to Tianzhu and other places. In order to achieve the goal of stabilizing Tibet, Erchen suggested that he relax the praise of Ganbu and return to Tibet, and help him stabilize the power of Tibet. ”

Li Shimin still did not agree with Li You's opinion.

In fact, in the matter of Tubo, Li Shimin did not distrust Li You, and he did not think that Li You's opinion on the handling of Tubo was unreasonable. It's just that he has his own ideas.

What Li You didn't know was that Lu Dongzan's death turned out to be one of the main reasons why Li Shimin made the decision to detain Songtsan Ganbu.

At that time, Lu Dongzan's cleverness left a deep impression on Li Shimin, who liked Lu Dongzan very much, valued him very much, appointed him as the general of the right guard, and took care of his family.

However, although Lu Dongzan left Tubo, he still thought about Tubo in his heart, although he did not betray the Tang Dynasty, nor did he refuse to do anything for the Tang Dynasty to disintegrate Tubo, he has only been teaching and educating people in the language college.

After many years, Lu Dongzan actually sacrificed his life for Songtsan Ganbu, which made Li Shimin feel very uncomfortable and his self-esteem was a little hurt.

Since the defeat of Goguryeo, looking at the world, the only thing that can make Li Shimin a little jealous now is this Songtsan ganbu, and he has the urge to solve Songtsan ganbu deep down.

Li Shimin is very much looking forward to the upcoming Taishan Zen Ceremony, and he hopes that Songtsen Ganbu can stay in Chang'an and participate in this unparalleled ceremony, otherwise he will feel regretful.

The chaos in the Tubo regime will cause chaos in the Tubo region and may cause harm to the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin still knows it, but he thinks the consequences will not be so serious. Without Songtsen Ganbu, the Tang Dynasty could support other Tusboites to take control of the Tus, or they could send a large army to conquer it, just in time to consume the old armies of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje.

Li Shimin's thinking also has a certain amount of truth, but he still does not realize the difficulties brought by the geographical and climatic conditions of Tusbo to the management of Tusbo. If a large army is sent to conquer, it is very likely that hundreds of thousands of people will be killed and wounded, and it will be difficult to conquer Tibet. Such a large casualty, even if the loss was the army of the client state, would bring turmoil to the Tang Dynasty.

Li You believed that the best way was to make the Tibetans submit, and then garrison the Tibetans, slowly transform the Tibetans through cultural and economic means, and finally completely dissolve the Tibetans by encouraging immigrants.

Li Shimin was happy that Songtsen Ganbu had promised to submit to the Tang Dynasty, but he still did not relax the idea of Zōtsen Ganbu going back.

Li You saw that he couldn't convince Li Shimin for a while, and he was not reluctant, and wanted to find an opportunity to persuade Li Shimin again. He said: "Father, the son of the son came rashly, disturbed your interest in the tour, and please forgive the sin, the son is also very interested in the legend of the tile pot village, let the son accompany you on the tour."

Subsequently, Li You, Pei Dilan and others also visited the tile tank village.

On the way back to the Huazhou Thorn Mansion, Li You continued to ponder to see how to convince Li Shimin, and there was no better way for a while.

After returning to the Huazhou Thorn Mansion, Li Shimin was a little tired and went to rest. He decided to leave Huazhou tomorrow for Luoyang.

After dinner, Li Shimin met with Pei Dilan and listened to him talk about the politics, economy, military and customs of the Great Food Empire, and Li You did not mention the matter of Tu Si Bo again.

It was late at night, and Li You had a headache for a while because he couldn't convince Li Shimin, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he thought about the situation in Tuzhou.
