Chapter 475: A Slap in the Face
Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoyes, what should I do?
This question is not only thinking about Wu Yuanqing, who is beyond the reach of the whip, but also about the courtiers of Chang'an, the capital division.
The matter of accepting the Tibetan sued for peace was decided on the fifth day of the arrival of the Tibetan envoys in Chang'an. In fact, this can be decided earlier, because according to the good news sent from the front and the detailed military situation written by Wu Yuanqing, Li Shimin and the high-level officials knew that it was very difficult to destroy the Tibetans, and the current situation was almost the same, and if they continued to fight, it would be just to occupy more land and kill more Tubo people, and now in winter, the climate is too harsh, and it is a plateau, which is really not suitable for continuing to fight.
So even if the Tubo people don't come to sue for peace, the Tang Dynasty will call out the army and make a truce.
The Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers, whose opinions had long been agreed, were actually able to reply to the Tibetan envoy's request for peace on the first day, just because Li Shimin felt the arrogance of the Tibetan people before and dared to threaten him, so he deliberately delayed it for five days to dry the Tibetan envoys.
As for the Tubo people once again asking to marry the princess, Li Shimin was furious at the first time, and almost rejected the decision to strike the army that he agreed, and finally Li Shimin took a lot of effort, and only endured his anger under the persuasion of Fang Xuanling's eldest grandson Wuji and other ministers.
This also has to say that the envoys sent by Tubo this time still have brains, and they did not take out the matter of seeking peace and marriage together, otherwise it would be impossible for either of the two requests to be realized.
However, although the decision to strike the army could not be withdrawn, Li Shimin vetoed the matter of asking for relatives, and told the Tibetan envoys not to gain an inch, and there was nothing to talk about about the matter of asking for relatives.
But helplessly, before leaving, Zampu Songtsen Gampo told him that he must help him marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and the things explained by his boss must be done, otherwise what should I do if I go back to wear small shoes.
Based on this reason, the Tibetan envoys played a shameless spirit and did not leave in Chang'an, and said one thing every day, Tubo Zanpu proposed to marry the Tang princess, hoping that the Tang Emperor could see that Tubo Zanpu was sincere and agreed to the request for the sake of all kinds of admiration for the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, if it was just a Tibetan envoy who was a scoundrel, Li Shimin could drive him away with a verbal message, but helplessly, many ministers in the court and the central government agreed with the matter of marrying the princess to Tubo Zampu, and some other ministers did not say yes, but they were also happy to see it happen.
The emperor is unwilling? The ministers who are in favor below will find 10,000 reasons to persuade the emperor to agree, because marrying a princess to a foreign Tang Dynasty is not without precedent, and the key thing is that marrying a princess is good for the Tang Dynasty, not only can it solve the southwest border troubles, so that the southwest region has decades of stability, and a country so strong as Tubo is attached to the Tang Dynasty and becomes a subject state of the Tang Dynasty, it will also increase the strength of the Tang Dynasty, and let Tubo become a barrier in the southwest territory of the Tang Dynasty, and when fighting other countries in the future, you can also let Tubo send troops to help, This is all very beneficial to Datang, and what Datang needs to pay is just a princess, this business is not a loss, and it is not a loss to let the powerful Tubo rush to ask for marriage, again and again, doesn't it also seem that the emperor is rare in the past dynasties, and he is a well-deserved Khan?
The mouths of the civil officials are more than liso, quoting scriptures and classics, and shameless praise, Li Shimin was really a little moved by what he said.
Yes, since it is impossible to kill Tubo, and I have promised to strike the army and truce, why not get closer to the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and when it comes to pulling the relationship to buy people's hearts, is there a better and more reliable way than marrying a daughter to marry and become a son-in-law?
Thinking like this, Li Shimin really moved the mind of agreeing to ask for marriage, especially Wen Yanbo was right, it was not without examples before, he could marry the imperial sister to Qibi He Li, Ashina She'er, he could marry the county lord of Lintao to Qibi He Li, so why not marry a princess to Tubo Zampu.
It's just that although Li Shimin is tempted, and there are many civilian officials who agree with this matter, but the military officials are basically unanimously opposed, and the military people oppose it not because they think that the princess will have a bad life if she marries the Tubo people, and the reason for thinking about the princess is that the main reason is that the military people feel that they still have to marry the princess after a war, and the military is too embarrassed, as if the military is incompetent.
Well, the thoughts of the military officers in Chang'an are the same as those of Cheng Biting Jin, Niu Jinda, and Stubbornness.
Therefore, the military resolutely opposed it, and quarreled with the civilian officials who were in favor, but the military people were not good-mouthed, even if there were Li Jing, Li Ji, a wise general who relied on his brain to eat, still couldn't win the civil official, but the military didn't eat by mouth, and if he couldn't win, he could always win, so in the absence of Cheng Biting Jin, the old man, Wei Chi Laohei was the first to be the vanguard, and he was the first to stretch out the big claws of the fan to the civilian officials.
Then, with one palm, he only used one palm, a light and fluttering palm, so that Wen Yanbo, who had been suffering from illness for several years and was becoming more and more unhelpful this year, lay directly on the Taiji Hall.
I'll go for it, the second prime minister is down, Li Shimin hurriedly shouted to the imperial doctor to save people, and the civil officials, whether they are in favor of or not in favor of the unification, turned the spearhead to Wei Chigong excitedly.
What kind of relatives, what sage words are thrown aside, and the civil officials unite and vow to get the captain Chi Gong.
The people in the military are not doing it anymore, fuck you, is it because your body is too weak, okay, how dare you blame Wei Chi Laohei, when we are blind, we didn't see Wei Chi Laohei just reached out and patted Wen Yanbo's back.
Then the court became a pot of porridge, if it weren't for Li Shimin's loud scolding to separate the two parties, there would definitely be a full martial arts in the Taiji Palace.
Separation is separation, but for many days after that, the court meeting has not been like it, and the military generals of Wenchen are completely opposed, and the two words are tied together without speaking.
In this case, I still talk about a fart thing, and discuss a bird's marriage proposal.
The chaos in the court lasted for more than ten days, and Wen Yanbo turned the corner to safety, and during this period, Wei Chigong and four or five generals who couldn't help but move when they were in the court recently were released from prison, but they were released, and the punishment they should have was still there.
Wei Chigong was fined for one year, and the others were punished for half a year, although the punishment was not heavy, but it finally gave an explanation to the civil officials.
Not only that, but in order to prevent trouble, several generals who were punished were all grounded at home before making a decision on peace with the DPRK.
After that, things were simple, there were no few of the most active troublemakers, the civil officials who were in favor of peace and pro had the upper hand, and with the balance in Li Shimin's heart that had been tilted, the matter of peace and proximity was quickly passed and agreed by the court.
