The twelfth round: set the strategy of the monarch and the ministers to make the four people of the Western Regions renegotiate (I)

Life is like tea, just like the tea that the three of them drink, there is always a hint of bitterness. It needs to be tasted carefully, and the more you go to the back, the more you can appreciate her mellowness.

The ups and downs of tea are similar to the ups and downs of life. However, tea will eventually sink to the bottom of the cup, just as life has to come to an end, so helpless.

The tea is fragrant and refreshing. The tea taste is sweet and mellow, and the aftertaste is endless. Just like life, we don't want to be brilliant, but we want to be able to make a contribution to others and society. Of course, the deeper admiration in life is for a better start and a better brilliance.

Three-foot Longquan 10,000 books, I was born in heaven, I can't govern the country and the world, and I vainly call me a man's husband. Go to a foreign land to fly high, communicate with all countries to build fortresses, uphold the will for the country and the people, only for the unification of the four seas. This was the most basic purpose and the most simple mind of the diplomatic envoys of various countries at that time. They trekked through mountains and rivers and went to foreign lands, not only for the dream in their hearts, but also for the ambition of serving the country and the people, but also for the unity of the world and the four seas.

A few days after the departure of Sharma, the envoy of the Yama Bo Kingdom, Germain, the envoy of the Nibra Kingdom, was also carrying endless memories of Chang'an, with a beautiful imprint of Chang'an, full of many rare goods, and the gifts of the Tang Emperor, ready to leave this Chang'an City.

But seeing that on the Wuling Plain outside Chang'an City, three people were bidding farewell to this envoy from a distant country. These three people are Wang Xuance, Chen Maocai, and Zhou Zeng.

Because of their shared relationship with King Deva, they naturally felt very cordial to this mud brahlo messenger. Germain not only brought the greetings of King Deva in private, but also brought the king's affection.

I saw that on the Wuling Plain, which was full of flowers, Wang Xuance thanked Germain for the greetings he brought, and also sent sincere greetings from the bottom of his heart to King Deva on his behalf.

During the conversation, he took a jar of high-quality Xinghuacun rice wine from the hands of his entourage, and personally poured four black glazed pottery bowls. Thousands of words were all in this bowl of wine, and the four of them raised this full of friendship, without the slightest words, and drank it all in a refreshing way.

This Germain, after brushing the wine stains from the corners of his mouth with his hand, immediately gave a big gift, and walked along Tang Fan Road in the direction of Tubo with a reluctant mood. Looking at this sturdy back, although I don't know when we will be able to meet, the friendship is deeply buried in the hearts of everyone......

At this time, the spring has been completely awakened by the spring breeze. With the gust of breeze blowing, the 800-mile Guanzhong Plain is also dyed with vitality under the warm breeze. Forsythia decorates this spring with yellow flowers; Begonias also greet the sunshine with a stunning attitude.

In the place where the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the pear blossoms dye the earth white, and the red leaves and plums decorate the freshness. With the spring breeze blowing to Daxing Palace, to Taiji Palace, to Hongwen Hall, and to the mind of Li Shimin, who was thinking about spring......

With this spring, I saw a small yellow door walking quickly through the corridor full of greenery, came to Li Shimin, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, and Sun Wuji, the prince of Zhao Guo, are waiting outside the palace gate."

"Pass them in"

"Only" after the little yellow door agreed, but seeing that he still took a small broken step, he returned to the same way to pass the decree; And Li Shimin returned to his throne and still dealt with the music.

It didn't take long for Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, and Sun Wuji, the eldest prince of Zhao Guo, to arrive in this Hongwen Pavilion in full clothes. looked at Li Shimin, who was dealing with the case a few times ago, and then stepped forward and saluted. According to the usual practice, after a polite greeting, Li Shimin still invited the two of them to sit on the carved show.

This time, it was Li Shimin who passed on the two of them to come. Therefore, Li Shimin told them his heart directly: "I have a matter, and I still don't understand how to deal with it, so I invite the two of you to come over and discuss." A few days ago, the envoy of the mud Borneo country, Germain, sent an envoy to our Tang Dynasty, listening to what he said, the snow geese made a great contribution to Tibet, and I was also very relieved. To tell the truth, when the snow goose got married, I asked Wang Xuance to send an envoy to the southwestern countries, the purpose was to prevent Tibet. Unexpectedly, Wang Xuance handled this matter so smoothly, not only concluding a peace covenant. And also let the five Indian ministries communicate with our Tang Dynasty over the years and trade. In addition, the opening of the Tang Fan Road not only allowed the exchanges between the two countries to avoid the cumbersome travel from the Western Regions to India in the past, but also promoted the prosperity of this trade. ”

Looking at the two of them, they were also quietly listening attentively. This Li Shimin, after a slight pause, continued:

"Although the southwest is stable and there is nothing to do in Tibet, I am very relieved. But last time, the squire of the military department said that I should always be prepared for danger in peace; It was suggested that an envoy should be sent to Tibet again, on the one hand, to visit the snow geese, and on the other hand, to have a good conversation with Songtsen Gampo.

So, I had a long talk with him. What he meant was that if this Tubo could live in peace with my Tang Dynasty, it would be very good; If it is not used by my Datang, it should naturally be removed as soon as possible to prevent the tiger from being troubled.

I knew what he meant. Although the two countries have become the good of Qin and Jin, there is also a contradiction in my heart: if this Tubo is strong, it will be a good thing for the people of Tubo; If it is used by traitors to destroy this Tang-Tibet relationship, it will naturally be quite unfavorable to both countries.

To be honest, I really hope that the two countries can really be friendly for generations, and this will add an arm to me. Therefore, I would like to ask the two of you what you think of this Tibetan matter? You can express your heart directly, and you don't have to say what I want. Li Shimin's words not only carried contradictions, but also a trace of obscurity. On the one hand, he rummaged through the notes in his hand, and on the other hand, he casually said these heart-wrenching words.

Seeing the two of them thoughtful, Li Shimin then said: "Brother Huang, let's talk about it first, is this your son-in-law after all?"

"Your Majesty, this Songtsen Gampo is not only the son-in-law of my brother-in-law, but also the son-in-law of my Tang Dynasty.

"What does it feel like, let's hear it?"

"This person, as His Majesty said, not only has a sense of heroism and bravery, but also has a sense of eloquence. However, the younger brother thought that it was precisely because of the wilderness of Tibet and the fact that the people had not yet been civilized, so he had the ambition to revitalize Tibet; So on the whole, all of this makes sense.

If the guidance is appropriate, in line with the principle of honesty and mutual benefit, and not harming the interests of both parties, the ministers think that this Tubo will become a pair of arms of our Datang. If Tubo dares to be treacherous, our Heavenly Dynasty will raise the banner of righteousness, carry out righteous soldiers, and occupy the commanding heights of morality......

The editor said: In the Zhenguan Dynasty, the fundamental reason for the harmony between the monarch and the minister is: Li Shimin's generosity and benevolence.
