Chapter 506: The Rise of Small Nations

Daxing Palace, Wanchun Palace.

In the splendid hall, the sandalwood lit on the pedestal was smoky. The main hall is decorated with inverted bell-like flowers, the calyxes are white, the bone china is translucent, and the top of the petals is a circle of different shades of lilac, which seems to be dyed naturally.

On the heavy lacquered wood table, carved dragons and phoenixes, on which there is a four-piece set of glassware study - pen, ink, paper and inkstone, several glass plates, there are exquisite pastries, fruits and vegetables, and several exquisite glass cups, in which the purple jade-like wine is fascinating.

Behind the table, on the throne of the gold lacquer carved dragon, Li Er closed his eyes, leaned on the dragon chair, crossed his hands, as if he was asleep but not awake, and between his breaths, his supreme momentum escaped.

Several female officers on duty next to her, each performing their duties, were extremely quiet and cautious, not daring to anger Long Yan in the slightest.

Suddenly, a slight sound of the door opening resounded through the main hall.

All the female officials looked at each other, and saw Yang Gonggong bowed, walked in cautiously, quietly walked to Li Er's side, and whispered in his ear.

"Your Majesty, all the courtiers and grand dukes have arrived and are waiting outside!"

Li Yi opened his eyes suddenly, the light in them flashed, sat up, straightened his clothes, coughed lightly, and then ordered: "Xuan!" ”

"Yes!"

Gonggong Yang agreed, then stood up and shouted: "Xuan, all the courtiers are here!" ”

As soon as Gonggong Yang's voice fell, he saw that the door of Wanchun Hall was pushed open, and then more than two dozen courtiers dressed in red and purple walked in one after another, Li Yi was among them, he followed the crowd and respectfully saluted Li Er.

Li Er waved his hand and shouted in a low voice: "Excuse me!" ”

Then everyone stood one after another, bowing their heads, waiting for Li Er's orders.

Li Er's face was expressionless, sitting upright, unable to see joy and anger. Showing Yang Gonggong a gesture, Yang Gonggong understood, picked up a piece of music on the table, and handed it to Prime Minister Fang Xuanling.

"Let's take a look, I just received it!"

After saying that, he began to close his eyes again.

Fang Xuanling took the fold suspiciously, just glanced at it cursoly, raised his eyebrows, and then read it again from beginning to end, and then frowned and handed the fold to the eldest grandson Wuji beside him.

The eldest grandson Wuji took it and looked at it, similar to Fang Xuanling's reaction, frowning and pondering.

Li Yi looked a little curious in the back, looking at the faces of Master Fang Xuanling and the old fox eldest grandson Wuji, it didn't seem to be a good thing, Li Yi searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and he really couldn't think of what major events in the six years of Zhenguan could make Li Er treat him like this.

Finally, half an hour later, the fold was passed to Li Yi's hands, Li Yi looked at it, and his heart suddenly tightened, and even his breathing was a little short.

There isn't much information on it, but it's more striking than the other.

The first is that the Tibetan Zanpu Songtsen Gampo has quelled the civil strife and unified Tibet.

The second is that Tubo will send an envoy to the court in three months to pay homage to His Majesty the Tang Emperor!

Li Yi read this recital, his heart could not be calmed for a long time, throughout the early and middle Tang Dynasty, there were three main enemies, one was Tuyuhun, that was the enemy who could bring humiliation to Li Shimin at the beginning, although half of it has been destroyed now, but the rest of the power is still there.

The second is Goguryeo, when it comes to Goguryeo, it is necessary to mention the former Sui, Goguryeo is not only the pain of the Tang Dynasty, but also the shame of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, it can be said that the current Goguryeo and the people of the Tang Dynasty are already feuds, it is an irresolvable hatred, between the two countries, there must be a war, it is only a matter of time!

And the third is this Tubo, if you want to talk about Tubo, you have to mention the rural cadre Songtsen Gampo, this kid does have some ability, not only with its drastic means to quell all the civil strife, but also prescribe the right medicine, find the right prescription, he knows that although Tubo is not small, but the civilization inheritance is extremely backward, so, in order to learn from the Heavenly Empire, he thought of harmony, and it did succeed, and it did achieve the goal. It can be said that Princess Wencheng's harmony is the key to the rapid rise of Tibet.

Later, the wings of Tubo came hard, and they invaded the Tang Dynasty in turn, and in the Anshi Rebellion, the pain that Tubo brought to the Tang Dynasty was not something that could be explained in a few words.

In general, these three enemies, the first two are easy to say, they are all a one-rod deal, and if there are any grievances, they can be solved after a battle. But Tubo is different, this is a dog skin plaster, which belongs to the white-eyed wolf that is handsome and can't get rid of it, and it is difficult to destroy it because of its geographical location.

Li Yi was a little irritable in his heart, for the current foreign enemies of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yi was most afraid of Tubo, Goguryeo, as long as he was given time to lay out, Li Yi had many ways to help Li Eryi succeed in the war, but this Tubo was a little difficult to do.

In fact, Li Yi began to be wary of Tubo from the beginning, when he led his troops to defeat half of Tuyuhun, in fact, he wanted to take advantage of Tuyuhun's terrain to train troops that could adapt to plateau operations, but he was still soft-spoken at that time, and this strategy has been dragged out until now and has not been implemented.

Although Li Yi reported to Li Er, Li Er didn't take it seriously, although Li Er is not respected as the Heavenly Khan now, but he destroyed the Eastern Turks, and after half of Tuyuhun, the whole person was a little floating, of course, this is Li Yi's feeling, but in fact, this situation is not non-existent, at least Li Er didn't take Tubo to heart at that time.

It was not until now, when Songtsen Gampo unified Tibet and came to pay homage to the Great Force, that Li Er paid attention to his inconspicuous little neighbor.

Li Yi looked up at Li Er, and suddenly found that Li Er today was a little different, as if he had a trace of killing temperament on his body, it was estimated that the rise of Tubo had aroused the desire to conquer in Li Er's heart.

After a while, when everyone had seen the twists and turns, Li Er reopened his eyes, stared at everyone, and slowly said, "Have you seen them all?" Let's talk about it, what do you think about this? ”

Look at me, and I'll look at you.

Immediately, one person came out of the queue and played loudly: "Your Majesty, this is a happy event, this small country in Tibet has just been unified, and it will immediately send an envoy to the court, which shows that the Tianwei of my Tang Dynasty has spread all over the world and is famous all over the world." The fact that Tubo sent an envoy to the dynasty is an affirmation of my Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Er waved his hand noncommittally and said, "Well, yes, who else wants to say anything?" ”

While speaking, another courtier came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that such a small country is a barbarian land, which is not enough to worry about, and it is not enough for Your Majesty to work hard for this. ”

Li Er shook his head slightly, but did not speak.

Seeing this, the man knew that his words did not impress Li Yi, so he could only retreat in frustration.

As for the others, most of them couldn't figure out Li Er's pulse, so they didn't dare to speak again.

Finally, Fang Xuanling took a step forward and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the small country of Tibet, this time the visitor is not good!" ”
