Chapter 79: The Queen's Banquet
At this time, Li Zhonghua was actively encouraging the local Bai Lan and the party people to cultivate fertile land and develop agriculture.
Only by developing agriculture can they settle down with peace of mind and make it easier to manage these tribes.
At the same time, schools are also set up to let them know Chinese characters, understand the culture of Datang, and increase their sense of identity with Datang.
Li Zhonghua named the new city Kangding City, and founded a Kangding Academy in the new city, so that children of various tribes can study for free, and sometimes, he himself will go to Kangding Academy to attend classes.
He invited some scholars from Yizhou who were full of poetry and books, and served as teachers in Kangding Academy and schools throughout the tribes, teaching those students to read Chinese characters and speak Chinese.
The yield of barley is not high, so the local tribes are reluctant to farm, Li Zhonghua taught them to grow sweet potatoes, corn, and beans.
However, due to the limitation of seeds, only a small amount can be planted near Kangding City for the time being, and next year, with enough seeds, it can be planted on a large scale.
Tubo Zampu quickly defeated the rebellion of the big and small sheep, prepared a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, and sent Da Lun Lu Dongzan to Chang'an, which was not only to show his sincerity in surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, but also to show that he hoped that His Majesty the Tang Dynasty could marry a princess to her.
Although he can't threaten Datang, he can only use a large amount of gold and silver to show his sincerity.
Li Zhonghua thought that his strong suppression of Tibet would change the trend of history, and the history of Princess Wencheng's entry into Tibet would not be repeated.
Unfortunately, history is very stubborn, and what should happen does not seem to change by his will.
The government-in-exile of the queen of the Subian kingdom, after the victory in the last great war, quickly expanded the army to 15,000 men.
Later, the original Subi tribe, taking advantage of the fact that Tibet was tired of dealing with the rebellion of the big and small sheep, fled to this place and defected to the Queen of Subi.
Today, the population of the Subian State is more than 100,000 people, and the Restoration Army has further expanded, reaching more than 70,000 people.
After the unanimous decision of the government-in-exile of the Subian country, they were ready to return to the homeland of the Subian country and officially announce the restoration of the country.
Of course, Li Zhonghua will not object to the decision of the Subi Kingdom, which is also the result he is happy to see.
With its own strong support, not to mention whether the Subi State can restore its former status, it can at least win a place on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and curb the growth of Tibet.
And it is a matter of course that the Subi State wants to return to its hometown and restore the country, even if the Tubo Zanpu Songzan Gampo has sent someone to Chang'an to express his claim to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty has no reason to prevent the restoration of the Subi State, and the Subi State has declared itself a vassal to the Tang Dynasty earlier than Tubo.
Therefore, even if Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo knew in his heart that the Tang Dynasty was behind the Subi Kingdom, he had no reason to blame the Tang Dynasty.
"Sir! Her Majesty sent an invitation to invite the lord to the banquet. Zhuo Yi explained to Li Zhonghua, who was dealing with official documents.
"What day is it? Why did your queen suddenly invite Ben to a banquet? Li Zhonghua raised his head to look at Zhuo Yi and asked with some puzzlement.
"Master, today is Her Majesty's birthday, so Her Majesty will invite Her Majesty to the banquet."
"I see, then we should celebrate, what gifts Her Majesty likes in your family, do you know?"
Since it is someone's birthday, it is natural to prepare some gifts, and you can't go empty-handed, which is too rude, Li Zhonghua thought to himself.
"This ......! The Lord can send a bottle of perfume, and Her Majesty the Queen likes orchid-scented perfume the most. Zhuo Yi thought for a while and said.
Came to the Subi Queen Tang Peng's royal palace, located in Kangding City, the Subi Queen Tang Peng had already stood outside the door to welcome Li Zhonghua's arrival.
The palace was built not long ago, and the scale was not large, after all, it was not the territory of the Subian kingdom, but only a temporary place of exile.
Seeing Li Zhonghua arrive, Queen Tang Peng's face showed a smile and stepped forward, with a trace of affection in her eyes.
After greeting each other, Li Zhonghua was welcomed into the palace by Queen Tang Peng, but what made Li Zhonghua feel strange was that the palace did not look like a big banquet at all, except for himself and the people who brought it, he did not see other guests to the banquet.
"What's going on, and what about the other guests at the feast?" Li Zhonghua looked at Queen Subi Tang Peng and asked.
"Because the king has only invited the envoys of the festival to come to the feast, what other guests are there?"
Li Zhonghua looked at Queen Subi Tang Peng in surprise, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Sister Feiyan, Sister Chunlan, Sister Dongmei, Sister Yanfang, can I borrow your master." Tang Peng said with a shy face.
The queen of a country used this kind of low voice, even flattering tone, begging them to borrow the master, Luo Feiyan's four sisters smiled bitterly at each other, and they couldn't say anything if they wanted to refuse, they just glanced at their master, nodded, and retreated silently.
It's just that after withdrawing, what will happen, she doesn't dare to think about it, but she believes that Queen Subi Tang Peng will definitely not hurt the master.
As for Zhuo Yi and Zhuoma, they naturally knew what to do, and they also retreated silently.
Tang Peng slapped his hands twice, and someone sent him wine and food, and then retreated under Tang Peng's wave of his hand.
"It's time to sit down, I want to spend a different birthday with you today, is that okay?"
Tang Peng's gaze was full of eagerness. Li Zhonghua couldn't bear to refuse.
Tang Peng's dress today is also a complete Han palace dress, just like the concubine in the palace, beautiful and moving.
Such a beauty begged softly, I am afraid that no man would refuse ruthlessly.
Li Zhonghua nodded, and Tang Peng grabbed Li Zhonghua's hand excitedly: "Zhonghua!" Thank you! "Tears flowed from my eyes.
Li Zhonghua sighed in his heart, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and helped Tang Peng wipe his tears.
Tang Peng was even more excited and threw himself directly into Li Zhonghua's arms and hugged Li Zhonghua tightly.
Li Zhonghua hesitated, his hands slowly fell on the other party's waist, and gently hugged the other party.
Queen Subi's affection for Tang Peng's family, how could Li Zhonghua not feel it?
It's just that the identities of the two people are different, and it is destined to be impossible to be together, she has her responsibilities, and it is impossible for her to let down Yang Xue and Luo Feiyan for her.
And Tang Peng, as the queen of the Subi Kingdom, could not let her give up her status as a queen and follow him as one of his concubines.
Therefore, Li Zhonghua never thought about what to do with Tang Peng's from the beginning, and he always positioned Tang Peng's as a cooperative relationship, or it can be said to be a relationship of mutual use.
It's just that Li Zhonghua didn't expect that Tang Peng's family would be desperate to break this relationship today.
A woman, and as the queen of a country, can desperately want to find out the relationship, if Li Zhonghua still refuses cruelly, it is too not a man.
If Li Zhonghua really doesn't have any feelings for Tang Peng's family, then he can refuse the other party's affection, the key is that Li Zhonghua's heart actually likes Tang Peng's family, so he knows that the two will not have results, but he still can't bear to refuse each other's affection.
After calming down, Tang Peng felt even more shy, and he was more affectionate towards Li Zhonghua.
After sitting down, Queen Subi Tang Pang personally carried the pot and poured wine for Li Zhonghua.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Zhonghua took out the gift he had prepared, orchid perfume, and gave it to Tang Peng.
"Thank you! Chinese! Seeing that Li Zhonghua had prepared her favorite orchid perfume, Tang Fan's heart was surging with happiness, and the whole person fell into Li Zhonghua's arms.
