Chapter 3: The Confidant Suffers from Tibet
Looking at the back of Li Shimin holding Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, driving away, Li Yuan stood in a daze, and muttered in a low voice: "Shimin, the enemy that the Tang Dynasty is facing is not only the Eastern Turks, but the Tuyuhun and other countries will gradually perish, but ......"
He looked up at the envoys of Fanbang, and among the various different clothes, only the low man in the middle attracted the attention of the emperor.
The cheeks have a unique plateau red, and the bun is not like that of the Central Plains, forming dirty braids, and the braids are oily and shiny, which is coated with mutton fat. Although he wore a long-sleeved robe, the cloth was not forged from cloth, but a Tibetan robe made of bare old sheepskin, with tough plates and rich fluff, and the boots were long, pointed cowhide boots.
The envoys of Baekje, Goguryeo, and other countries stayed away from him, because the smell of sheep on his body was really unpleasant.
"The Tubo people have to guard against it!" Li Yuan's footsteps stopped, looked at the envoys of various countries with uncertain faces, and said secretly in his heart.
The invincible Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks, destroyed Goguryeo after the failure of Emperor Yang of Sui's three expeditions, destroyed Tuyuhun entrenched in Qinghai, and destroyed Qiuci, Gaochang and other countries in the Western Regions.
Xue Rengui, who inherited the title of Li Jing's victory, also suffered a loss in Tubo and suffered the defeat of Dafeichuan.
Originally, Tubo was on the plateau, and the Tang Dynasty was helpless, but the Tang Dynasty was also extremely prosperous for more than 100 years, and the Tubo people did not dare to invade the Tang border. However, after the Anshi Rebellion, Chang'an was lost six times, and the Son of Heaven fled.
Datang also came to an end.
"Master...... Are you looking at the envoys of Tibet? Hui Ri saw the emperor's gaze here, and in order to show his difference, he opened his mouth to call Li Yuan his master.
After all, the Emperor Taishang is the most honorable person in the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor needs to respectfully call his father when he stands in front of him, and the courtiers and people of the Son of Heaven must also be called the monarch's father, he is the father of the entire Tang Dynasty.
As the most loyal disciple of Datang's father, Huiri feels honored and honored.
This honor is more glorious than that of the crown prince of the Wa Kingdom.
When the Tibetan envoy Shang Nang heard Hui Ri's words, he immediately smiled, walked towards the Emperor Taishang, and said as he walked: "Your Majesty, your son is really an eagle...... As a neighbor of the Tang Kingdom, I, the Tibetan State, would like to offer my most sincere blessings, and will give 500 cattle and 3,000 sheep. ”
Yes, the Tubo people did not consider them to be vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, but to exist on an equal footing with the Turks and the Tang Dynasty.
Even if there was great turmoil in Tibet at this time, the great Songtsen Gampo was busy unifying the Tibetan Dynasty.
Being on the plateau, the Tubo people were not afraid of the elite army that had just won a great victory in front of them. In a strong body, it is difficult to defeat the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau!
Li Yuan put a smile on his mouth, stepped forward and hugged Shang Nang with Tubo etiquette, and then said: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is indeed an eagle soaring in the sky, but I heard that in Tubo, do you also have an eagle - Songtsen Gampo?" ”
"Songtsen Gampo?" Shang Nang frowned first, and then immediately put a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, what you are talking about should be our great Zampu, but ...... He does deserve the title......"
"Huh?" Li Yuan was a little stunned for an instant, could it be that there was no such person in Songtsen Gampucha.
Fortunately, Shang Nang is a talker, and he should have been held back in Datang, in his words. The Emperor finally understood what Songtsen Gampo meant.
Songtsen means dignified and dignified in Tibetan. And dry cloth is deep and deep.
It's just a title that means "the most holy."
Shang Nang continued: "The previous monarch of Tibet, that is, our Langri Zampu, he brought dawn to the dim plateau, thirteen years ago, Langri Zampu unified Tibet like the sun, but unfortunately, just after the death of Langri Zampu, Tibet fell apart again. ”
Speaking of this, his eyes gradually overflowed, like a believer close to the god's mansion, as pious, "Sayangam is my playmate, he is the most heroic young man in Tibet, the most talented warrior, the praise on the samba has made countless noble ladies secretly wish, the twelve-year-old he is like a scorching sun descending on the whole of Tibet......
Langri Zampu is the sun of spring, and Songtsen Gampo is the summer sun of Tibet! Tibet is about to ..... Unified! ”
Generally speaking, when there is civil unrest in the country, it is tightly covered and the news is not leaked in the slightest. However, for Tibet, there are almost no external troubles.
The plateau is their biggest barrier!
Li Yuan frowned, and casually perfunctory a few words about Shang Nang, the Tibetan foreign minister. Then he also boarded the line and prepared to return to the palace.
The celebration feast began immediately.
Sitting on the line, Li Yuan closed his eyes and pondered.
Unlike other states, Tibet has plateau natural hazards. In addition, at this time, Tubo also coincided with the British lord, and Songtsen Gampo was not inferior to Li Shimin's existence in the history of Tubo and even Tibet, and even won slightly.
He remembered that Songtsen Gampo seemed to have died in the first year of Yonghui, and he and Li Shimin were one after the other, less than a year apart, and left this world together.
"It seems that the safest way is to slowly boil Songtsen Gampo ......" Li Yuan, who was sitting on the line, couldn't help but smile.
In Lhasa, on the Tibetan Plateau, a heroic young man wiped his sweat with a towel and threw his sword to the guards.
I've been practicing swordsmanship for an hour just now.
"The silk of the Central Plains is really different from sheepskin, comfortable and light." Songtsen Gampo pointed to the silk undershirt inside the sheepskin jacket and said that in the past, they wore crude woolen sweaters, but they often couldn't get rid of the smell of sheep, so the nobles of Tibet bought silk from the Central Plains to wear.
This is very similar to that of Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when silk shipped from China was often sold for sky-high prices, and when a ball was held, if someone wore a long dress made of silk, it was undoubtedly the most dazzling and sparkling.
Of course, in modern times, silk products are also extremely expensive......
As he spoke, the twelve-year-old boy Songtsen Gampo sneezed, frowned, looked to the east, and whispered: "Foreign Minister Shang Nang is now in the Tang Kingdom, if he can bring back the technology of making silk from the Tang Kingdom, how good it would be......"
......
The Linde Hall is the place where the palace holds grand banquets.
Inner Sanctum.
"In the past, His Majesty was twelve years old to relieve the siege of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and now the princes are nearly twelve years old, and today coincides with the victory of the Duke of Wei Guo and the return to the dynasty.
The crown prince's concubine, Li Gang, stroked his gray beard and made this little proposal to help the fun.
