There are poems: Xiangquan is a combination of milk, fried and boiled. When I saw the crab eye splash, I saw the fish scales at first glance. The sound is suspicious and loose with rain, and the fear of smoke and greenery is born. If you still put Li Zhongshan, there will be no thousand days of drunkenness. This is not only a true portrayal of the Tang people drinking tea, but also the most comfortable display of their people.

After this tea brewing, tea tasting, tea appreciation, and some greetings, everyone also eliminated their vigilance against each other. Wang Xuance is also a neat person, and he is not good at going around the corner, and then asked: "Look at your demeanor, this should not be an ordinary Tubo people, I don't know what you are doing when you come to my Tang Dynasty this time?" ”

Songtsen Gampo listened to this question, and he knew that Xue Yan was the lord of the Tang Dynasty. immediately revealed his identity: "I can't hide it, I am Songtsen Gampo, the lord of Tubo." Then he introduced to them, "This is my minister, Lu Dongzan, and this is my cousin, Prince Devaroshah."

Hearing his introduction, Wang Xuance and the others were immediately stunned for a moment, never expecting that they would be able to meet them on this trip, but after thinking about it, this is also very good. Then Shi Li said: "Disrespectful and disrespectful, I never thought that I could meet Zambu here; Along the way, Zambu's prestige has already spread all over the Tangtu border. ”

This Songtsen Gampo, born in the first year of Yining, is the only son of his father, Langri Songtsen. When he was a child, his father had already unified the snowy plateau in one fell swoop, so he received a good education and was generous from an early age. When he was twelve years old, because his father was killed, rebellion broke out. Later, with the support of his uncle and other ministers, he ascended to the throne and became the 33rd Zanbu of the Tibetan State.

Since the young and mature Songtsen Gampo succeeded to the throne, he has shown his due talent, first completely purging the old clan forces and avenging his father. Then, relying on the small and medium-sized nobles and common people, he completely put down the rebellions in various places. Later, in order to develop agriculture and let the common people live and work in peace and contentment, the capital was moved to some cities. In the end, he led his troops to fight against Tuyuhun, which was quite powerful at that time, and this series of feats was completed before the eighth year of Zhenguan. In recent years, with the stability of the political situation, Tubo has gradually become stronger, which has aroused the vigilance of Li Daozong and Li Shimin's monarchs!

When talking about the purpose of this trip, Songtsen Gampo said from the bottom of his heart: "It is for the stability of Tibet and the prosperity of the people. Although Tubo has been very stable over the years, along the way, I found that it is far from the Tang Dynasty and incomparable! The purpose of this trip is not only to learn from the Tang Dynasty, but also to apply what we have learned, to develop Tibet, and not to let the Tubo people be displaced like the mother and son just now! ”

Hearing this, Xue Yan couldn't help but have a little more affection for him: on the one hand, he felt like a brilliant lord, and on the other hand, he felt that he could think about the people, such a monarch was really rare.

Through this exchange and understanding, Wang Xuance was also completely impressed by the personality charm of Songtsen Gampo. Just back: "If Zambu can have such an idea, it seems that the life of the people will get better and better!" ”

Everyone smiled again. After some introduction by Snow Goose, they also understood that Snow Goose is the daughter of Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, and this Wang Xuance is a confidant who has known Snow Goose for many years.

Listening to her introduction, Songtsen Gampo wanted to understand the grand scenery of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty and the customs of the people.

I only listened to the snow goose with the sound of the warbler, and described the Chang'an City in detail: "The circumference of the Chang'an city wall is nearly 100 miles, majestic and grand, the layout is rigorous, the city streets are like a chessboard, horizontal and vertical, and the houses inside are more like chess pieces, and they are decorated in an orderly manner. Suzaku Street is about ten miles long, dividing Chang'an City into two parts, east and west, and there are no less than a million people living in it, and envoys from various countries are lined up one after another, and all countries come to ......"

When they heard that the circumference of this Chang'an city was nearly 100 miles long and the population was more than one million, the eyes of Songtsen Gampo and Prince Shah widened, and they were very surprised, they never thought that it would be so magnificent. At this time, Lu Dongzan also nodded affirmatively: "What the county lord said is true, Chang'an City is indeed so."

Then Wang Xuance talked about the state, county and county governments of the Tang Dynasty: "The people uphold the system of doing at sunrise and resting at sunset, and in addition to farming every day, they live according to the proper customs of the season; In peacetime, he lived and worked in peace and contentment, and in wartime, he responded to the call of the country to join the army at any time. It not only does not delay the people's agricultural time, but also reduces the burden on the country, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Speaking of this, but seeing that Wang Xuance paused for a moment, drank all the tea in the teacup, and observed that this Songtsen Gampo listened quite seriously, and then continued: "It is precisely because of the peace of the country that culture has gradually prospered, and poetry and songs have become an indispensable part of the daily life of the people. Although the culture is prosperous, it also emphasizes martial arts, and both exist both internally and externally. Therefore, Fang has a Tang Dynasty, and he can carry a three-foot long sword on the horse to resist the strong captives, destroy the Turks, and flatten the valley. You can get off the horse and rule the world with poetry, the people are rich, and the people are rich and the country is strong! ”

Through Wang Xuance's narration, the three of them also understood that the strength of the Tang Dynasty focused on muscles and bones rather than appearances.

For the young and mature Songtsan Gampo, Wang Xuance's words are not only an admiration for the Tang Dynasty, but also a reminder to himself: Don't follow the old road of confrontation between Tuyuhun and Turkic countries and the Tang Dynasty. Governing the country focuses on governing the people, the people are safe, the country is safe, and the people are rich and the country is strong. Caring about the living conditions of the people at all times is what a promising monarch should do. Datang's measure of attaching equal importance to civil and military affairs is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Rather than this, it would be more appropriate to form friendly nations and not invade each other.

Thinking of this, he smiled at Wang Xuance slightly, and returned: "The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is indeed desirable, I don't know what I can do to make my people live a comfortable life like the people of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Listening to Wang Xuance's words, Prince Shah also felt the same way, and immediately threw the same question to him!

Hearing his question, Wang Xuance gave Songtsen Gampo and Prince Shah three strategies in accordance with the Tang Dynasty's practice of treating all countries:

First: Send envoys to Chang'an to make friends with the Tang Dynasty. Only by making good friends can the two countries no longer be suspicious of each other and pave the way for future development.

Second: Send the children of the nobility to Chang'an Taixue to learn the Confucian culture of the Tang Dynasty. Only in this way can we fundamentally solve the backward appearance of Tibetan culture and cultivate more knowledgeable talents.

Third: Send craftsmen to learn the production skills of farming, farming, and construction in the Tang Dynasty. Only in this way can we fundamentally solve the problem of people's housing, and the people will be safe and the country will be safe!

Listen to these three strategies, every word. Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan agreed and nodded again and again. This mud Borneo is located in the south of the snow-capped mountains, although it has been established for a hundred years, but compared with the Tang Dynasty, it is not a small gap, so the Shah prince heard these three strategies, and he also quite agreed, and couldn't help but yearn for the tolerance and openness of the Tang Dynasty.

On this day, they talked a lot, a lot, and everyone had a good impression of each other. Wang Xuance has already understood the general situation of Tibet: this Songtsen Gampo is indeed a male lord; If used properly, the two countries will naturally get along well; If it is not done properly, it will definitely bring endless war to the people on the border. But fortunately, this Songtsen Gampo is not a militant element, he is respectful and studious, and his care for the lives of the people is quite Confucian!

And Songtsen Gampo, through this chat, is not only interested in the culture of the Tang Dynasty, but also has a deeper understanding of the political style and system of the Tang Dynasty, and also feels that peaceful coexistence should be the best choice for the two countries.

And Chen Maocai and Zhou Zeng also felt that these three people were far better than the Tuyuhun Fuyun Khan in the past.

Although everyone rested here for the whole night, everyone was refreshed and refreshed; But the September morning was a little cold, and the weeping willows seemed to tell the heartfelt parting.

On the second day, as soon as the sky dawned, everyone parted and set foot in their own directions. Songtsen Gampo also understood the direction of the matter, and even more admired Wang Xuance's proposition, that it was time to learn from the advanced culture. And Wang Xuance and the others rode north, in the direction of the capital, and continued to travel through the mountains and rivers......

The words are divided into two ends, and the book is said twice. A wicked person is a wicked person after all, as long as he wants to rectify you, he can think of a way to rectify you anytime and anywhere. After this journey, and a few months, the group arrived in Minzhou, and a pair of eyes were staring at them.

This Minzhou is close to Tuyuhun. I still remember that in the ninth year of Zhenguan, the Tuyuhun killed by Wang Xuance and other soldiers lost his armor and abandoned his armor, and destroyed this Tuyuhun in a battle, and finally led Murong Fuyun's son Murong Fushun to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin was grateful for his single-minded attachment and listened to Wei Zheng's advice, so he gave the source of the three rivers to Murong Fushun and allowed him to restore the country, calling him Fushun Khan.

Although this border place has always been not very safe, but because Tuyuhun has become a territory of the Tang Dynasty in recent years, the border area between the two countries at this time, the people live freely and freely, and they are quite peaceful and comfortable.

Since the last time they exposed their identities in Yazhou because of the snow geese, this Li Jingheng has already known their route back to Beijing, so he has been sending people to follow closely these days! He understood that Wang Xuance would definitely get ahead when he came back this time and be promoted to knighthood. Although she really wanted to do something more or kill him, but because he was the one who returned to Beijing on order, she didn't dare to be so blatantly stupid.

At this time, Chen Lei was simply a roundworm in his stomach, and through what he had done over the years, he had already understood Li Jinghengzhi's true thoughts. looked at his solemn expression, and then prompted: "After a while, this Wang Xuance and others will definitely pass by Minzhou, which is close to Tuguhun, if they are killed because of the war, this seems to be very appropriate, and it has nothing to do with us." Listening to Chen Lei's reminder, this Li Jingheng immediately thought of this Fushun Khan.

Since this Fushun Khan returned to the Tang Dynasty, he also understands that only by having a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty's close ministers can he be invincible forever. Therefore, the relationship with the close ministers of the Tang Dynasty has been quite harmonious over the years, and there will always be a lot of special products for the New Year's holidays. It is precisely because Li Daozong is in charge of these southwestern affairs, in order to train this son, so every time he meets according to the imperial court etiquette, he always sends Li Jingheng to come. Therefore, this Murong Fushun and Li Jingheng are quite familiar and have a close personal relationship.

So I thought about it, and after some deliberation. Chen Lei set off quickly with Li Jingheng's message. A few days later, they arrived at the Tuyuhun King City, at this time, Tuyuhun had long lost the spirit of the former king, and all he had was obedience and comfort.

Because it was not the time for sending envoys to each other as stipulated by the imperial court, this Fushun Khan secretly met with Chen Lei. When Chen Lei saw an old friend he hadn't met for a long time, he shivered with joy. After explaining the intention, this Fushun Khan made a difficulty.

In the face of such a thorny problem, Fushun Khan considered: on the one hand, this Wang Xuance is the court official of the Tang Dynasty, and if he does not know it, he will be killed, and it will be a big problem to investigate. On the other hand, although this Li Jingheng is just a general, he is Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, behind him, and he can't be offended.

This left one is not, the right one is not, and suddenly it is difficult, how can this be good? So, with a grudge and difficult tone, he pushed the question to Chen Lei: "If this Wang Xuance dies here, how can the court track it down?" ”

This Chen Lei has never lacked methods, no, he casually asked Fushun Khan: "Do you know how the old Khan died?" ”。

Murong Fushun immediately returned: "Committed suicide."

As soon as Chen Lei heard this, he shuddered: "Look, look, so many years have passed, and you still haven't figured it out." This old khan did not commit suicide, he was forced to kill! ”

Hearing this, Murong Fushun looked at Chen Lei in surprise: "How can you say this?" ”。

But seeing this Chen Leisheng ruffian character, it is vividly displayed. Then he said sadly: "When the old khan was desperate, the old prince wanted to spare his life. But when he attacked the handsome tent, it was this Wang Xuance who repeatedly persuaded the old prince. In the end, the old khan couldn't help it, and he couldn't bear to embarrass the old prince, so he could only commit suicide. This is all the fault of Wang Xuance alone, why don't you understand it until now? Between the words, Chen Lei's tears flowed down, "To this day, you haven't even figured out who the enemy is, and even I feel sorry for the old Khan" The more he said, the more "sad" he said, the more "sad" he said, while wiping his tears, he peeked at this Fushun Khan from time to time.

But when he saw this Murong Fushun hearing this, he burst into tears, grief-stricken, and suddenly had a feeling of being brainwashed. The thought of avenging his father immediately came to his mind. Watching this scene and listening to this, after Chen Lei comforted Murong Fushun, he said in a sincere tone: "You think that in the name of avenging your father, getting rid of this Wang Xuance is to be loyal to your father. What's more, for such reasons, Your Majesty will not pursue it too much. In addition, he Wang Xuance is a small official, and no one looks at it anymore! ”

After this reassurance, Murong Fushun's state of mind was also a little calmer, as long as he could avenge his father, all problems would no longer be a problem. So, the three stinkers hit it off.

After several days of meticulous planning, this Murong Fushun has also been arranged, ready to deal a fatal blow to Wang Xuance in this Minzhou territory, and what awaits him will be a bloody storm......

And Wang Xuance and the snow goose and others also came to Minzhou according to the original plan. Because this is the border between Datang and Tuyuhun, he has relaxed his vigilance. leisurely, I saw that the mountains in Minzhou were high and dense, and everywhere was full of vitality; Surrounded by greenery, the city is surrounded by small rivers that meander through the village. As long as there are trees, there are people, and a few wisps of green smoke come out from time to time, which not only looks exceptionally fresh and natural, but also makes the pastoral atmosphere very strong.

Before they knew it, the group had arrived at a high hill in a dense forest. But seeing this official road passing through the forest, the scenery is very pleasant, the snow geese and Xiaocui are playing horses in front, talking and laughing leisurely. Suddenly, a flock of crows was seen in the jungle ahead. Wang Xuance and Chen Maocai immediately shouted to them vigilantly, and rushed to the front of the two; And Zhou Zeng watched this scene, and also raised a knife to strengthen the guard in the rear......

In an instant, I saw twenty or thirty black-clothed people coming with knives...... The atmosphere was tense as the war broke out......
