Chapter 55: Xuan Ce was ordered to make Tianzhu three people express their feelings in the wine shop (I)
When a person is tirelessly focused on certain things, many opportunities will come quietly. So no matter what time it is, you have to put your mindset right; Only have a correct mentality and be at peace with the situation; When you encounter things, you will face the difficulties, and the opportunity will be yours!
Wang Xuance came to the front of this Daxing Palace with a lot of enthusiasm. After checking the fish charm, he entered the palace; After the Taiji Palace, I came to the Hongwen Hall. At this time, Li Shimin was looking at the newly presented ancient books, and when he saw Wang Xuance coming, he threw down the book and asked, "What's the so-called matter, so in a hurry?" ”
So Wang Xuance told Li Shimin about the situation he had encountered in the past few days in a fifteen-tenth manner. Li Shimin was also confused when he heard this, where is this Holisha country? What kind of country is it?
Immediately, he instructed the chamberlain to bring the emperor's Zhou Tiantu, and after this Wang Xuance made a detailed identification. Li Shimin suddenly realized that this Holisha country was originally in Tianzhu. Then he looked through the letter of state that the king had given him, and he saw that it was written in both Sanskrit and Chinese. I saw this Chinese language, all the fly-headed Xiaokai has a legacy of Xi, and it seems that the person who wrote it also knows a lot about the Tang Dynasty.
But seeing this country, it is written: Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, although my country is located in a remote area, it has a radius of more than 5,000 miles, a mild climate, fertile land, and abundant products. His Majesty the Emperor is not only wise and far-reaching, but also benevolent and righteous in the four seas, so he sent the right minister Tamadora to your country, and is willing to make a good ...... with one heart.
After Li Shimin carefully read this sincere letter of state, coupled with Wang Xuance's remarks, he also understood that this Holisha country seems to want to reconcile with my Tang Dynasty. Thinking about this imperial Zhou Tiantu again, this Holisha country is just in the south of the Tubo country and the Nibra country. As soon as I thought about it from a strategic point of view, if it could really be repaired, it would be a good choice, not only to prevent Tibet, but also to monitor this Tibet, why not do it?
At this time, I saw that this Chang'an order also hurriedly came to report: "In recent days, the bodies of many foreign Fanbang people have been found, scattered in different places in Chang'an City, and the death is very ugly. After inspection, it should have experienced a vicious fight, and the knives were all hit the point. These dead bodies seem to be Tianzhu people, but unfortunately, so far no one has been found who committed the crime. ”
Hearing this report, Li Shimin and Wang Xuance already knew a rough idea: it must be Tamodara's bodyguard, who was killed by the assassins sent by the left minister Alonashun! But seeing this, Li Shimin sighed, and said to Chang'an Ling: "Bury these Tianzhu warriors."
Chang'an Ling got the will and immediately retired from the errand.
Suddenly, a grand dream was born in Li Shimin's mind: since the Western Han Dynasty had Zhang Qian's hollowing out of the Western Regions, and the Eastern Han Dynasty had Ban Chao's reinforcement of the Western Regions, how could my Tang Dynasty fall behind? At present, it seems that this country has sent an envoy to repair, which shows that the sincerity of the king of the sun is also full. Moreover, the envoys were killed or wounded in our Tang capital, and they should send envoys to explain to show the sincerity of our Tang Dynasty. But who will be sent?
Inadvertently, his eyes swept to this Wang Xuance, and suddenly, he felt that he was a good candidate.
After pondering about it, although the left minister Alonashun had the intention of usurping power and seizing the throne, and this trip was also very dangerous, Li Shimin still said this grand idea from the perspective of the overall situation:
"Aiqing, there is one thing at present, although it is a beautiful difference, but it is quite dangerous. Since this Holisha Kingdom wants to reconcile with our Tang Dynasty, and this envoy was killed in Chang'an City, I should send an envoy back to explain all this. On the one hand, it is repaired, and on the other hand, it is also to check the country's system and political situation.
Since ancient times, there has been a distinction between barbarians and Chinese, and I think that since people are born between heaven and earth, not only should they not be so meticulously divided, but they should also be treated equally. If this king is also an enlightened monarch, he can naturally repair and communicate. At the same time, this Tibet is also rising on the plateau, although this peace is enough to resolve the potential contradictions between the two countries, but we should take more precautions against them, and only if you are prepared, you can be safe. If it can really be reconciled with this Holisha country, from a strategic point of view, it will naturally be able to form a kind of flanking attack on Tibet. Li Shimin was in this Hongwen Pavilion, pacing square steps while thinking about talking to him.
When Wang Xuance heard this strategic remark, he suddenly felt His Majesty's cleverness and strategy, so he was also quite admired: "In this way, I can ensure that my Datang will once again occupy an advantage in the general direction, and the world will be worry-free."
Although Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, he said without worry: "Since this Alonashun is the powerful minister of this Holisha country, this time I have got rid of the right minister of the country, Tamadora, in our Tang Dynasty." Although I intend for you to send an envoy to this country of Holisha, it seems that this trip is quite dangerous? ”
When Wang Xuance heard this, he also understood the weight of Li Shimin's words. Even if there is a great danger, if you can make such a contribution to the country and realize this grand vision for Your Majesty, it is also a good choice. Besides, Your Majesty is so worried about his own safety, how can he not be a courtier and promise the country with his body. So he returned without thinking: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister is in the prime of life, he should share his worries for His Majesty, and do his best for Datang, he can completely cope with all this, if he succeeds, he will not disgrace his mission." ”
Li Shimin looked at Wang Xuance who was so refreshing, patted him on the shoulder, and said happily: "Okay, since you are an envoy, you can act cheaply, Zhang Qian, Chen Tang, and Ban Guxian!" Then he thought about it and said: "But in order to hide the eyes and ears of all countries, this time naturally you can't just visit this country of Holisha, in that way, you will follow the king of Jiangxia to personally escort Princess Wencheng to marry Tubo, first send an envoy to Tubo, then Niboro, and then to this Holisha country to check and travel, and learn more about the customs, the country's political system, the relationship between monarchs and ministers, and so on!" ”
Li Shimin's words, Wang Xuance was suddenly excited, and his blood was boiling. Connecting the Western Regions and handing over Tianzhu is naturally a good errand to leave a name in history, coupled with Li Shimin's meticulous arrangement and intimate words, not only makes Wang Xuance feel very appropriate, but also makes him loyal to this generation of Ming Jun. Even if the road ahead is dangerous, he will not hesitate to do it. Then he knelt down again and thanked Li Shimin for his grace.
"Come on, let's talk about the details again"
"Thank you, Your Majesty".
So, Li Shimin told Wang Xuance everything in his heart, and Wang Xuance also told Li Shimin in detail about the general idea. In this way, this grand idea gradually had a general framework in the heart-to-heart and earnest exchanges between the two monarchs and ministers.
It is another positive day, and the grand court meeting is solemnly carried out in this Taiji Hall according to the custom. The ministers of the Ministers were shocked to hear that the envoys of the Horisha Kingdom had been killed on the streets of Chang'an, and they were not only surprised; At the same time, he suggested that countries, no matter how big or small, should treat each other with courtesy. Therefore, it is necessary to send envoys to this country of Holysha and give them a reasonable explanation.
Therefore, Li Shimin naturally announced to the world, sent Wang Xuance as an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and escorted Princess Wencheng to marry Tubo with the King of Jiangxia.
When Li Jingheng heard about such an arrangement, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart: after all, this was not an ordinary envoy, maybe he would die in this chaotic country. However, when Li Daozong heard that he was marrying Princess Wencheng with him, he had a different kind of joy.
Although this Wang Xuance and Lu Dongzan are old acquaintances, they are afraid of being put on the hat of befriending vassals, so since Lu Dongzan arrived in Chang'an City, the two have never met in private. Hearing that today's court, Li Shimin handed over the important task of envoy to Tibet to Wang Xuance. Therefore, after the next dynasty, Lu Dongzan happily launched an invitation to Wang Xuance.
Because after having this envoy status, these taboos are gone. Therefore, when Wang Xuance heard about Lu Dongzan's idea, he also readily agreed. Two days later, we will meet you at the hotel.
