?“ Zamp! "Zhuleje, branch? Serugun and the Minister of the Interior, Bapan Ditta, all lay on the ground and wept bitterly.

"That's it! I've made up my mind. Go for Joleje! It's not a big deal if I die, but we must be kind to the people of Tibet. ”

Zhulej and Pabandita professed obedience and wept bitterly. Branch? Serugundun's eyes widened and he shouted: "The lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord is humiliated by the death!" We can't afford to let Zampu suffer this great humiliation. What other faces live in the world! As he spoke, he jumped up and hit his head on the pillar of the main hall, and his brain burst out, and he died of exhaustion.

Seeing this, he shook his head and sighed, and Zhulejie and Babanzhida beat their chests and cried bitterly.

"Zhu Lejie, you go to the Tang camp to negotiate! Babandita, do you command people to support them? Serugun was buried generously and treated his family well. ”

The two slowly withdrew from the main hall with a sound of promise; Ba Ban Zhida sighed and said, "Lord Zhulejie, do you think the Tang Dynasty will agree to our request and give us a way out?" ”

Zhuleje's eyes were a little confused, and he sighed and said: "Any negotiation is based on the strength of the two parties; Now that the form has eroded to this point, our fate is all in the hands of the enemy, alas! Do your best and obey the destiny of heaven! ”

Babanzhida nodded and said, "If that's the case, please be mentally prepared and end this negotiation as soon as possible!" Tibet has just settled down and should no longer suffer from war. ”

Zhu Lejie looked at Babanzhida in surprise, and sighed slightly in his heart, even Babanzhida's close ministers have already begun to think about themselves, and there is really no hope for Tibet.

"Lord Baban is right, I'll think about it." After saying that, Zhu Lejie turned his head and left, his figure was slightly rickety, indescribably desolate.

The next day, Zhu Lejie came to see Cheng Zhijie and asked to negotiate with him. Cheng Zhijie welcomed this, and while reporting to Tang Emperor Li Shimin, he discussed negotiations with Tubo.

Li Shimin received Cheng Zhijie's report and slapped the table directly, and he immediately summoned the ministers to discuss the matter in the Taiji Palace. When everyone heard that Tibet had begged for peace, they all knelt down the mountain and shouted long live.

Li Shimin said: "Ladies and gentlemen, who do you think can be the ambassador of peace this time?" Everyone looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, Xiao Yu, Tang Jian, and Fang Xuanling's Wenchen.

Tang Jian thought of the Turkic peace negotiation, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Long live, the minister thinks; None of the ministers knew much about Tibet; And the situation with the former enemy is also not clear. It is inevitable that going forward to participate in the peace negotiations will inevitably be biased. Therefore, the minister recommended Cheng Zhijie, the king of the Great Demon County, to be responsible for the matter of the ambassador of the peace and power. ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in praise, and Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Okay! In this way, it was decreed that Cheng Zhijie, the king of the Great Demon County, would be the ambassador for peace, and Niu Jinda and Liu Lanquan would be responsible for the peace negotiations with Tubo. I will not accept the orders of foreign kings, and I will give them the right to make decisions on the spot. That's all for today, let's disperse! ”

The crowd shouted again long live, and then each withdrew from the main hall.

Out of the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin rushed to Yang Jier's bedroom. As soon as Yang Jier saw that the emperor had arrived, he hurriedly came out and knelt down to greet him.

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Ji'er, there is good news that you don't know!" Su'er is really good at it this time! After the fifth brother's training, he is no longer the same as before, and his performance on this expedition is remarkable.

This time, the fifth brother wrote to say that he also caught Chi Duoji Zunjie, which directly led to the chaos in Tibet, and the hope of abandoning the sect and praising it was cut off, and he sent people to beg for peace! It has made great contributions. ”

Yang Ji'er was overjoyed and said, "Your Majesty is not coaxing the concubines? Bring me the letter! Li Shimin held the letter in his hand but held it high, so that Yang Ji'er said a lot of good things about nephrite, and took a lot of advantage before giving her the letter.

Seeing Yang Ji'er holding the letter and reading it over and over again, looking excited, Li Shimin was secretly happy in his heart, and thought of his other untalented son Li You, should he also send him over to educate him well?

Finally, nearly 20 days later, Yima brought Li Shimin's express, making Cheng Zhijie the negotiation ambassador, and Niu Jinda and Liu Lan were fully responsible for the negotiations with Tubo. All matters are in charge of Cheng Zhijie, and there is no need to ask for instructions.

Cheng Zhijie received the emperor's order and immediately began to negotiate with Tibet. At this time, the abandonment of the sect and the praise have been completely degenerated, and they don't care about political affairs at all, just drinking and buying drunk every day, and then they fall asleep.

When Ru Lejie heard Cheng Zhijie's conditions, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief; This condition is not too out of line, he thought of Babanzhida's instructions, and agreed to the conditions of the Tang Dynasty without much argument, but for the treatment of Zampu, he still needs to ask for advice on the abandonment of the sect.

Zhu Lejie returned to Nianmai and conveyed the conditions of the Tang Dynasty to the abandoned sect and Langzan, the first is that the name of Tubo must be canceled, and there will only be Datang in the world in the future, and there will be no Tubo.

Hearing this, the heart of the abandoned sect and the praise tightened suddenly, although he knew that this would be the result, but he still felt very uncomfortable after knowing it. Tubo has been passed down for thirty-three generations, but the country has perished in its own hands; What face will there be to see the ancestors and ancestors in the future?

"The Tang Dynasty will set up the Southwest Protectorate to be responsible for the affairs of Tibet, and the Protectorate of the Metropolitan Protectorate must also be served by the Han people, but the Tubo people can serve as assistants under it......

Tibet is not allowed to keep troops, and the Tang Dynasty will send troops to protect the security of the southwestern capital; However, young people with aspirations in Tibet can sign up to join the sequence of the Tang Army.

……

Tubo Zanpu is highly respected and has made great contributions to the development of Tibet. Zampu has the following choices: first, give up government affairs, don't care about anything, and honestly enjoy the glory and wealth of Zampu. Second, we will go to the Central Plains, and we will help him integrate into the Central Plains and start anew. ”

After reading the conditions, Zhu Lejie knelt on the ground and raised the music in his hand and said: "The conditions of the Tang Dynasty are only these, whether it is war or peace, how to decide, please make it clear to Zampu." ”

Abandon the sect and let out a sigh of admiration: "What to decide? What is there to say about people being swordsmen and I being fish and meat? Do everything according to what Datang said! I have always longed for the culture of the Central Plains, and in order to make people feel at ease, I went directly to the Central Plains without bothering! Zhu Lejie, if you go again, you will restore the Tang Dynasty as such, and three days later, I will open the city and surrender! ”

Zhulej lay on the ground and wept bitterly, and the rest of the ministers also fell to their knees when they saw it, crying silently. Abandon Zonglang sighed in admiration, and then left the main hall infinitely lonely and entered the harem to continue drinking and getting drunk.

Three days later, he led the minister of civil and military affairs to go out of the city with the seal and the letter of surrender to Cheng Zhijie. On behalf of the Tang Emperor, Cheng Zhijie accepted the surrender of the abandoned sect and Langzan, and then waved his army into the city, took over Nianmai City, and quickly took the whole of Tibet with the help of Zampu.

Soon Li Shimin's holy decree came down, ordering Niu Tongniu Jinda to be the first protector of the Southwest Metropolitan Protectorate, and ordered Cheng Zhijie to lead the army to escort the abandoned sect to the Tang Dynasty.

As soon as the news of the surrender of the abandoned sect and Langzan came out, Lu Dongzan, who was imprisoned by the Tang Dynasty, committed suicide by hanging himself; To Tomi? Sambuza chose to return to Shun, but he did not enter the court as an official, but went to Tianzhu to start his cultural journey.

After Cheng Zhijie and others arrived in Chang'an, Li Shimin led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet them, and then asked them to sacrifice the Taimiao. Abandoning the sect and being detained in Chang'an like Jieli.

Cheng Zhijie has been gone for more than three years, although he is occasionally called back to participate in the imperial court conference, but on the whole, he gathers a little and makes a lot; So he missed his family and hurried home as soon as the celebration was over.

As soon as he came back, Cui Yu led the sisters to welcome him, followed by several descendants of the Cheng family. Now he has four sons, Cheng Huaimo, Cheng Chengmo, Cheng Huailiang, Cheng Huaibi, and two daughters, Cheng Zhuyun and Cheng Zhujun, which can be said to be prosperous.

Mrs. Cheng can wake up with a smile every day, but there is a little bit that this son does not grow up by her side, which makes her a little regretful. This time the son came back for a family reunion, which made the old lady very happy. I didn't know that this joy was a bit excessive, I drank and greedy, and suddenly fainted on the same day, unconscious, accompanied by crooked mouth, unfavorable language and hemiplegia.

There was a great chaos in the Cheng Mansion, and someone quickly invited Sun Simiao from the hospital to treat the old lady. When Li Shimin and others heard the news, they and the eldest grandson Wujian, Yang Ji'er, Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Su and other princes all came to visit, and the civil and military officials who were good with each other even stood in a courtyard.

After a long time, Sun Simiao came out to tell everyone that Cheng's mother was out of danger; Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this; But then he told everyone that Cheng's mother was afraid that she would never be able to stand up again in the future, which made everyone feel uncomfortable.

They went in one by one to comfort Cheng Zhijie, and then said goodbye one after another, and finally there were only two people left in the house, Cheng Zhijie and Qin Qiong.

"Second brother, I wanted to spend more time with my family back then, and I wasn't a person who sat in the world, so I gave up the position of the demon king. I didn't expect that it would be rare to have free time now, and I would get together less with my family and leave more. So I imagine that Your Majesty resigns and serves my mother well at home to be fully filial. ”

Qin Qiong sighed and said: "What Zhijie said is very true, don't learn from me, the son wants to raise but doesn't wait." I always said that I would go home to accompany my mother after this period of time, but I was not at home until she closed her eyes. When I think about it, I break my liver and intestines, Zhijie thinks so, it's good, I support you. ”

"Good! Tomorrow I will present my letter to the emperor, resign from all official positions, and spend time with my family. ”

The next day, Li Shimin received Cheng Zhijie's resignation, and couldn't help frowning slightly, he called Cheng Zhijie to the imperial study, where the eldest grandson Wujian was also there. Li Shimin took his recital and asked: "Fifth brother, it is not easy for us to win the world, how much suffering we have suffered, and how much blood we have shed." I was about to enjoy wealth with everyone, why did the fifth brother leave me? ”
