Seeing Li Daozong and Li Xueyan's happy appearance, Li You felt a little furious in his heart, in fact, he really didn't have absolute certainty about this matter now. First of all, he didn't know exactly what was going on in Tibet. Secondly, Songtsen Ganbu is not an easy person to be convinced.

Li You deliberately made a sure appearance, but he first calmed down the emotions of Li Daozong and Li Xueyan, so as to give full play to their active role and help him persuade Songtsan Ganbu.

Li You said: "The problem faced by Tushan is that there is an internal split, and some people take advantage of Songtsen Ganbu to leave Tushan and want to replace it. The assassination that has just taken place has already illustrated this problem.

Now that you are going to Tibet, it can be said that it is extremely dangerous. Therefore, I do not advocate that you go to Tibet immediately. ”

Li Xueyan said confidently: "Zampu's prestige in Tubo is extremely high, and he should be able to quell the rebellion after he goes back." If you don't let him go back, won't you let the internal division of Tusi continue to continue? ”

Li Daozong also thought so in his heart, he looked at Li You to see what he said.

Li You said: "Tubo is different from our Tang Dynasty, and the internal political forces are divided into four major tribes and eight lords, each of whom has its own sphere of influence and its own plans. Once the political environment changes, it is easy to be divisive.

You still remember the Eastern Turks back then, they were much more powerful than the current Tus, and they controlled millions of strings, which is not an exaggeration. They once came to the city of Chang'an and forced my father to sign the White Horse Alliance. The result? In just four years, it was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty.

Why? The Eastern Turks are made up of 18 large tribes, instigated and supported by external forces, and can easily split. The Turkish, Xue Yantuo and Tiele tribes who attacked Chang'an with the Khan of Quanli in those years, after my father agreed to the conditions put forward by them, all formed an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, and at the most critical moment, they dealt a severe blow to the Khan of Quanli, which eventually led to the destruction of the Eastern Turks.

How similar is the current situation in Tibet to the situation in the Eastern Turks? ”

Li You's analysis of the current situation in Tus, Li Daozong and Li Xueyan also agreed. However, they think that the so-called external force that provokes Tu S Bo is the prince in front of them. Li Shimin did this to the Eastern Turks, and Li You's methods of dividing and disintegrating foreign forces were even more sophisticated.

Although they didn't say it, their eyes showed dissatisfaction with Li You.

Li You understood their thoughts and said, "I know what you guys are thinking. Let me tell you this, I did indeed do the matter of stripping Tibet of its vassals. But I really didn't interfere in the internal affairs of Tusbo. My attitude towards the Tibetans is that I need them to maintain stability, which means that I support Songtsen Ganbu. I mentioned this to my uncle before. ”

Li You did tell Li Daozong that he wanted to run the South Asian continent, so he needed to maintain the idea of stability in Tus, and Li Daozong also told Li Xueyan.

Li Xueyan asked: "Who is splitting in Tusbo, and who sent someone to assassinate Zampu?" “

Li You said: "I have already sent someone to investigate this matter, and there will be a result soon." I suspect that this incident was not because Songtsen Ganbu left Tibet, and those people who temporarily decided to rebel must have already had the idea of splitting Tibet. Songtsen Ganbu's departure from Tibet was just an opportunity for them. ”

Li Daozong asked, "Your Highness, how do you plan to deal with this matter?" ”

Li You said: "For this matter, I will first say a goal that we will work hard to see if you can accept it." ”

Li Xueyan asked, "What goal?" ”

Li You said: "The intention of my father and the ministers of the court to annex Tu Si is very obvious. Especially my father, the emperor, he hoped that the Taishan Zen Ceremony would have a happy ending. Therefore, at the very least, Tubo will also be required to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

I hope that Songtsan Ganbu can surrender to the Tang Dynasty, if this is the case, I will do my best to help Songtsan Ganbu quell the rebellion within Tubo, ensure his stable rule over Tubo, and the Snow Goose girl can also be a princess of Tubo in peace.

I will suggest to my father that the Snow Goose sister be canonized as the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and marry to Tufu in a beautiful manner. I don't know if you can accept such an outcome? “

Li Daozong has no opinion, although Li Xueyan hopes that Songtsan Ganbu will still maintain the status of the emperor, but she is a person who understands, and knows that it is not very likely, and she can accept the plan proposed by Li You.

She said: "Cousin, I don't care if Zampu maintains his status as an emperor, as long as he can return to Tubo safely, even if it is to be a county king in peace, I am willing." ”

Li You looked at Li Daozong and waited for him to make a statement.

Li Daozong nodded and said, "Your Highness, the minister has no opinion. “

Li You said: "Since this is the case, let's work in this direction." ”

Li Xueyan said with some concern: "Zampu is a proud person, let him be a vassal to the Tang Dynasty, this matter may not be easy." ”

Li You said: "What you said makes sense, so this matter requires us to work together." ”

Li Daozong asked, "Your Highness, what do you want us to do?" ”

Li You said: "I'm waiting for news from Wang Xuance now, it should be available soon." During this time, I would like Songtsen Ganbu to stay in Chang'an for the time being. There are a lot of people here at the post station, uncle, don't you have a manor in Chang'an County? You'd better stay there for now, and I'll send the Flying Tigers to make sure he's safe.

Talk to Songtsen Ganbu about what I just said, so that he can be prepared.

Songtsen Ganbu is a proud man, but he is also a smart and wise man, and he will carefully weigh the pros and cons, so it is not impossible to convince him.

If he doesn't agree with this opinion, don't worry about it yet, just keep him from making trouble.

When I get the accurate news of Tusbo, I will go and talk to Songtsen Ganbu in person. ”

Regarding Li You's arrangement, Li Daozong and Li Xueyan have no opinions.

Li You then took his leave and left.

Early the next morning, Li Daozong personally came to inform Li You, saying good news and bad news. The good news is that Songtsen Ganbu has agreed to stay in Chang'an for the time being, and they will go to Li Daozong's estate in Chang'an County today. The bad news is that Songtsen Ganbu said that the Tang Dynasty was despicable and shameless, and that he would rather die than submit to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Daozong said worriedly: "Your Highness, how can Songtsen Ganbu's attitude be good? He was really worried that Li Shimin would be angry because of this, and he would take Songtsen's life.

Seeing Li Daozong's worried face, Li You was also a little depressed in his heart, knowing that it would take a lot of trouble to convince Songtsan Ganbu.

He pretended to smile lightly and said, "Uncle, look at you." Let me tell you, don't listen to Songtsen Ganbu's shouting, he's just playing with a child's temper. He's a smart man, and when he says that, he's just wanting more benefits. ”

Li Daozong has spent a lot of time with Songtsen Ganbu, and he also thinks that Songtsen Ganbu is a smart person. Regarding Li You's words, he thinks it still makes sense. So, he said goodbye and left.

Li You reported his solution to the Tubo problem to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin seems to disagree with Li You's opinion, and he did not directly express his attitude, but said that he would detain Songtsen Ganbu in Chang'an and wait until he returned to Chang'an.

It's getting more and more complicated and harder to do.

Li You had a headache. However, this product has always been broad-minded, and I don't want to think about problems that I can't understand for the time being, and I don't bother to deal with problems that can't be solved for the time being. He began to prepare for the food conference with all his heart.

Wei Zheng really cared about Li You, he had been thinking about this matter at home, thinking that this matter was very tricky, so he came to the Northwest Palace, wanting to comfort Li You.

Li You did not tell Wei Zheng about Li Shimin's attitude. Since it's useless to tell him, why bother to let Wei Zheng worry about it?

Li You just said that he would have a way to do this, and then he enthusiastically recommended new delicacies to Wei Zheng.

Soon after, Wang Xuance finally sent a telegram from the Northwest Province, in which he introduced what had happened in Tusbo.

It turned out that the origin of this incident was roughly the same as Li You's guess.

King Qizun had always been attracted by the Tianzhu Kingdom, and he stepped on two boats between Tianzhu and Tusbo, and met the source left and right. Wang Xuance provided the conditions for the submission of the Tang Dynasty to the king of Qizun, which far exceeded the conditions offered by Tianzhu and Tusfan, so the king of Qizun moved his mind and began to maneuver between the three countries.

In order to get the kingdom of Qizun, the king of Tianzhu had been doing the work of dividing and disintegrating Tusbo in the upper echelons of Tus. At this time, he saw that the ruler kingdom was about to defect to the Tang Dynasty, so they intensified their internal activities in Tusbo, hoping to force the ruler king to submit to the Tianzhu kingdom with the help of Tusbo, the suzerainty of the ruler kingdom.

Songtsan Yude is the cousin of Songtsan Ganbu, and he has always been angry about Songtsan Ganbu inheriting the position of Zampu of Tusbo. Because Songtsen Ganbu is shrewd and capable, he has been forbearance to this day.

This time, Songtsan Ganbu left Tusbo, which gave Songtsan Yude the opportunity to rebel and seize power, so he reached an agreement with the Tianzhu Kingdom, and the Tianzhu Kingdom supported him to become the Zampu of Tusbo, and Songtsan Yude declared himself a vassal to the Tianzhu Lord, and ceded the Qizun Kingdom to the Tianzhu Kingdom.

Songtsan Yude, who had the support of the Tianzhu Kingdom, united several major lords of Tusan and began to attack Songtsan Ganbu, and the person who came up to assassinate Songtsan Ganbu was sent by him.

The reason why he chose to assassinate Songtsen Ganbu in Chang'an was to create chaos for the Tang Dynasty and prevent the Tang Dynasty from meddling in the Tusan affair.

Wang also provided good news and bad news.
