Chapter 155: The Rabbit Dies, the Fox Is Not Sad (1)
If who is the worst person in the world now?
Hou Junji thought that it was himself, who fell from the top of the clouds below one person and above ten thousand people, and became a prisoner of the frontier.
If there is a mistake, he will obey!
But there is nothing wrong with that, the slaughter of the city is a tacit approval of everyone, and then the capture of Gaochang Kingdom is not only not rewarded, but sold by the emperor as a favor.
How tragic?
And at this moment, the hundred officials in the court also faintly have a feeling of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking.
Hou Junji was by no means the first to fight, but his loyalty to the emperor was unmatched, and at the same time, relying on the emperor's favor and trust in him, there was no one in his eyes, and he was arrogant, so no one in the court stood up to intercede for him.
It is also extremely miserable to fail to be a human being to this extent.
At this moment, Hou Junji wiped the mixture of tears and rain on his face, and suddenly saw a team of iron horsemen rushing to the bottom of the steps of the Liangyi Palace, and the messenger carrying a long bamboo letterbox on his back braved the heavy rain to run towards the court.
As he walked, he shouted: "The Tang army won a great victory, and the king of Linyi broke through the Nanban and unified the Indochina Peninsula." ”
"King Linyi?" Hou Junji was slightly stunned, he remembered that Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, since he followed the emperor, was first named the king of Chu because of his merits, and then was demoted to Linyi because of the defeat in the war.
And the Indochina Peninsula is the Emperor Taishang gave Li Shimin a map of the world, in which the place of China is regarded as Zhongzhou, and other places according to the Xi Shi, such as the Western Regions, Liaodong, Wa Kingdom, Persia, those small countries are not bothered to mark, directly by the local name.
In this, Li Yuan did not mark the Americas, and the current Americas are still a paradise for the Indians, but the Tang Dynasty lacked an ocean-going fleet sufficient to cross the Pacific Ocean, which was extremely dangerous compared to the Atlantic Ocean.
"Nearly a quarter of the South of Indochina." Hou Junji, as a favored minister, has naturally seen the world's public opinion.
This surprised him very much, and he also felt envious of Li Xiaogong.
is also to open up territory, the Emperor Taishang praised Li Xiaogong as the god of war, and also gave a real fief, but he ended up in a panic like a lost dog.
"It's ironic." He shook his head.
Thinking of this place, he was not in a hurry to leave, his heart of silence was greater than his heart of death, he slowly walked to the court, he wanted to see the remorse on the faces of the group of ministers, and see what they should do?
Look at what kind of clown posture the king of Gaochang is like.
The messenger knelt on the ground, opened the letter made of bamboo, took out the parchment, and read: "On the thirteenth day of October in the eighth year of Zhenguan, Lin Yiguo led an army of 30,000 to destroy the Walla and Tassel tribes, and on the fifteenth day of October, the six allied armies were destroyed......
On November 3, the Jingguan was built in Champa to deter the barbarians.
At the same time, Chai Shao, the prince of the state of Qian, built ten ships of fortune, established Takahashi Castle in the Ryukyus, stationed 100,000 soldiers, and relocated a total of 120,000 soldiers and civilians, and communicated with foreign countries......"
Li Shimin bowed slightly, his heart was shocked, he knew that as long as the Central Plains Dynasty was attentive, the Indochina Peninsula could still be taken, but how to take it, how long it would take, this was not necessarily.
The miasma in Indochina is much more vicious than in Lingnan.
He swallowed his saliva, as long as the emperor died, he made all the wedding dresses for himself, as for the time......
He had a bold idea in his heart, he forged the history books, and the truth about killing his brother and brother must not be written, he was the perfect emperor.
And the merits of the Emperor Taishang ......
It is also sealed in the history books, and the dust is sealed in Da'an Palace at that moment.
Then his exploits made by Li Shimin, there is really no emperor who can look at it, and now only Goguryeo and Tubo in the northeast have not been conquered, and the environment of Tubo and Goguryeo is too bad, Goguryeo must be destroyed, and the terrain of Liaodong is very threatening compared with Youzhou.
Merely...... Before Li Shimin could think about it, the envoys of the nations standing in the hall stared at him with a very depressed face.
Resentment in his eyes.
Yes, it is a grudge, this kind of grudge is that it is clear that it has just destroyed Gaochang Kingdom, and now it will occupy all of the Indochina Peninsula.
The appetite of this suzerainty is a little too big, right?
Even the die-hard fans of the Tang Dynasty, the envoys of the Wa Kingdom, hesitated, they have been coveting the Ryukyus, but before they can start, they were accepted by the Tang Dynasty, how can this be accepted.
And the Ryukyus have already succeeded, so is it still safe for them to go to the Wa Kingdom?
The more I think about it, the more annoyed I become, and the more I think about it, the more sad I feel that these small countries are so sad.
But there was no way to deal with it, so there was only resentment left, and Li Shimin looked at him resentfully.
"This ...... This one... I don't mean it, you know, I Datang just want to spread the learning of the saints to them, so that they can get out of the state of drinking blood, but I didn't expect them to be so despicable that they would take the lead in provoking a war. Li Shimin has no face and no skin.
Anyway, now that those small states and countries in the Indochina Peninsula have been destroyed, who can find the loopholes in his mouth.
Even if you find a loophole, you dare to ask your mother again like the king of Gaochangguo?
There is no proof of death!
Clear conscience!
"......." envoys of the nations.
Okay, you can say whatever you want, they suddenly felt that the current relationship could not be played at will, and they had to show the right attitude to deal with the aggressive Tang Jun.
The countries of the Western Regions decided to submit to the Tang Dynasty temporarily, while the Tibetans had their own intentions, that is, to propose marriage.
"I don't know if the princess of your country can marry my Tibetan Zampu." The Tibetan prime minister bowed respectfully.
They have expressed to the Tang Dynasty no less than ten times that they want to marry a princess to marry Zampu, but they are all prevaricated by Li Shimin.
Now on this formal occasion, the Tibetan Prime Minister believes that it is the right time, place and people.
If the Tang Dynasty said a word, it was to cut off diplomatic relations.
Although the Tang army was invincible, it was also invincible with two fists and four hands, and all the countries in order to resist the Tang Dynasty's army, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not join forces to deal with it.
And marrying a princess is undoubtedly the most appropriate way to ease the relationship.
Unlike other small states, the Tibetans did not consider them to be vassals of the Tang Dynasty, but like the Tang Dynasty, they were all powerful countries that looked down on the world.
It's just that the culture of the Tang Kingdom is prosperous and desirable, while the culture in Tibet is seriously lacking, and the culture is "borrowed" from neighboring countries.
Marrying a princess was undoubtedly a way to successfully learn culture, and of course there were Songtsen Gampo who admired Tang women, especially the emperor's daughter.
And more importantly, the diplomatic relations between Tibet are obviously not as good as those of the Tang Dynasty, and marrying a princess has another feeling of inheriting a political legacy.
For this reason, Songtsen Gampo even gave up Gaochang State, just because he didn't want to oppose the Tang army, the current Tang army is too invincible and has dominated the world.
The best way to defeat a nation is to learn about its culture.
