Li Wei didn't know how much the Wulu clan had told him, and when he came, he must be a cronie of the Wulu clan. can't be said nonsense, not only is it related to the safety of the lives of the mother and son of the Wulu family, but also to the future of the two countries. But today, Li Wei's seven tricks can't be said to be fully open, and he also opened six tricks, and he immediately understood that there was no Lu clan to basically say it, so this minister who didn't have the Lu clan had such a resentful sentence.

It's not that I don't believe it, it's hard to explain, not only did I have a leg with the princess of Tubo, but I also left a species, and I became the Zampu of Tubo.

"Well, let's get down to business." Don't mention the Lu family, I can't screw it out.

"I came to your country on the order of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother asked me to bring you some words."

"What do you bring?"

"Since the death of Zampu, the Gar brothers covered the sky with one hand, although the Queen Mother was lucky enough to support Zampu to ascend the throne, the situation is still very worrying, and the day is precarious. Therefore, some ingenious means were used to get the Garqin Tomb to agree to peace. Once the peace talks are successful, it will win the ministers and nobles loyal to Zandp, and further support the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother and Zampu gradually have the strength to protect themselves.

"Deliberately bite the word Zampu very hard, that is not only the Zampu of Tibet, but also your son.

Li Wei couldn't help but laugh and said, "I will help...", but have you ever thought about how to divide the territory between the two countries that want to negotiate peace and 'what is your attitude towards Tibet'? ”

If you want to negotiate peace, you must submit to the Tang Dynasty, just like in the era of Songtsen Gampo, you were a vassal to the Tang Dynasty, which was also the bottom limit of the Tang Dynasty. It is estimated that there is no Lu clan, and he only wants to eradicate the Gar brothers, so he won't mind it very much. But will the other ministers and nobles be willing to go back to the way things were?

This tea is not easy to solve.

The latter is even more difficult, the bottom limit of the Tang Dynasty is all the territories of Qinghai, and the entire Western Regions. But as Li Wei's 'this is not enough, not only Qinghai and the Western Regions' will eventually take down the roof of this world, otherwise he will not be able to live up to his identity as a 'traverser'. This ambition can be put aside for the time being, according to the meaning of the Tang Dynasty's monarchs and ministers, will the ministers and nobles of Tubo agree?

If these two articles cannot be resolved, how can peace be negotiated?

"I don't know, the one who really came to negotiate peace was the one sent by Princess Wencheng. By the way, the funeral. ’

It's not the same as the Qinling Tomb, but the royal family in Tubo is said to be sent by Princess Wencheng, not that Princess Wencheng is influential. If she had influence, Tubo would not have provoked the Tang Dynasty several times. The reason why she pulled the name of Princess Wencheng is because she is the old queen mother and the product of the peace between the two countries. Make the peace more meaningful, with sincerity. Running for a funeral is a normal etiquette.

"I'll take a look at it when the time comes, and I'll help you make an agreement to help your Queen Mother and Zampu tide over this difficult time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Stand up and take your leave.

When Zhou left, someone from the Yang Palace came to invite Li Wei to go to the Yang Palace.

Wu Lu's mind is exquisite, and he knows that Li Wei is not good at fooling, so he directly plays the emotional card. Besides, the two sides have many common interests, not only feelings, but also having a son, and want to deal with the Qin Ling together. But Li Wei alone is not enough.

didn't come to the Tang Dynasty, and she didn't get much news, but the political situation in Luoyang, she could think that this family of three would inevitably have many differences, and even hinder each other. However, this peace negotiation can only succeed and cannot fail. Li Wei alone is not enough, but also the consent of the two Empress Dowagers.

Let Princess Wencheng write a letter, the letter said that Tubo is divided into two factions, one faction and the other faction. The Lord's faction is determined to follow the policy line of Songtsen Gampo, which is what Princess Wencheng is looking forward to the most. The main battle faction 'but must resolutely fight' took advantage of the Turkic rebellion to join forces to attack the Tang Dynasty. The new queen mother of Tubo is the main and faction, she is very good to the Tang Dynasty, believes in Buddhism, and advocates the cultural etiquette of the Han Dynasty.

There are things that can't be said, although she is not as wise as Wu Zetian and Lu Shi, but she is not too stupid, and some of them are still understandable. One said, 'Bao Zhun because a few people in the Tang Dynasty were dissatisfied with the new emperor and leaked the news. There was no accident between the mother and son of the Lu family, and they did not have a good life in Luoqi City.

But the Wulu clan and the new emperor became a dew couple, both had his sons, and probably did not have bad intentions towards the Tang Dynasty. Well, it's not easy to say, 'It depends on the development of the two countries, the development of the relationship between the two people, and the real thoughts in each heart.'"

But Princess Wencheng only thought of the former.

After saying some words of guarantee, he wrote that the new empress dowager presided over the peace meeting, and the ministers and nobles of the main peace faction would have more say in Tibet. If it also fails, then the main battle faction will inevitably take over the wind. In the future, the two countries can only fight each other, and the hatred will become deeper and deeper.

These are all from the heart of Princess Wencheng, and they are also written very sincerely.

But this is all fooling Ji Zhi's words.

Replaced by Ji Wei, no Lu clan doesn't dare, are you still the same Tubo before? Even if you ascend the throne and the country is politically harmonious and has a smooth transition, if you want to send a large army to cooperate with the Turks, can you transfer a large number of troops from Tuyuban and the party to support you as before. I'm afraid that even the Western Regions and the Shengqiang Department can't mobilize many troops to cooperate. Do you dare to send 200,000 troops to attack Qinghai? Even if you dare, what about the materials and weapons needed for war? Without the strong support of the Tuyuhun people, truckloads were transported down from the Tubo Plateau? Do you have the human and financial resources to do so?

Even if there is, it will be at least three or four years, otherwise the Qinling Tomb will not agree to come to negotiate peace without the Lu clan and give up this great opportunity.

Besides, the three tiger generals in Qinghai are in charge, and there are various checkpoints and castles protected layer by layer, the danger of Jishi Mountain and the Yellow River, and tens of thousands of the most fierce tiger army of the Tang Dynasty, is it so easy to attack?

Therefore, the Wulu clan sent two ways, and previously sent his henchmen to congratulate Li Wei on his ascension to the throne, carefully made a temptation, and then sent Qi Lixu to the East Palace, only talking about feelings and his own predicament, telling the truth, playing the emotional card, without any means. Then through Princess Wencheng, fooled Ji Zhi and Wu Zetian. It turned out that she liked Han culture and Buddhism, but she didn't have a deep relationship with Princess Wencheng, and in order to make Princess Wencheng believe, she even didn't hesitate to tell the truth. Otherwise, Princess Wencheng would not have written this letter so sincerely.

I don't know much about military affairs.

And with a little sincerity, this time he negotiated peace and took the initiative to release Wang Xiaojie.

If it was in the spring of last year, even if there was a letter from Princess Wencheng, most of the envoys would be bombarded back, "Maybe Li Zhi's brain is hot, okay, Tubo is dead, Zampu" is just attacking them, let Li Wei's army dispatch, and then come to the general manager of Suo Luo Dao, and attack Luo Some City.

But now it is not possible 'after two large-scale battles' there are mutual victories and defeats, and I also know that the Tubo people can no longer be underestimated, especially when it comes to the military talent of Qinling. The Turks are in turmoil, and the position of Tubo Zampu has been stabilized, and the best opportunity to attack Tibet again has been lost. Also, I don't understand military affairs, and the husband and wife immediately thought of Tubo This is the competition between the Zampu system and the power and the minister's department, this little queen mother came to Chang'an at the beginning and asked to join forces with the Tang Dynasty to kill the Qinling, but everyone was negligent at that time. If it weren't for the strange rise of the Qinling Tomb, maybe the whole of Qinghai would have been controlled by the Tang Dynasty.

Today, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian are still feeling remorse for this matter.

I feel that some of the things in the letter are not right, but I don't know what is wrong, but it seems that this peace meeting is very good. For Princess Wencheng, there was no Tang Dynasty as later generations thought, and the Tang Dynasty was more cautious. His own son dares to kill, and he is only the daughter of the clan? But there was some guilt, which increased the credibility of the letter.

But he was still not very relieved, so he sent someone to call his son. This is what his son is good at, and he has been dealing with the Tibetan people for a long time.

After reading the letter, Li Wei immediately understood the intention of the Lu family. Putting the letter down, he asked, '... What is your name? ”

"The minister's name is still hot."

"Is it the same clan as your Empress Dowager Tubo?"

"Yes, the minister and the queen mother are lucky to come from the same clan."

Wu Lu's family, the same path as his mother's envoy, wants to consolidate his position through his relatives, but he is also easy to make. Continue to ask: '... Why did you come first? ”

Wu Lu Shangre hesitated for a moment, thinking that this new emperor was not easy to deceive, and replied honestly: "The envoys who came this time are very loyal to Zampu, but in order to show respect for the precious, the envoys have come over a total of nearly 100 people, some of whom were arranged by the Queen Mother, and some of them were arranged by the Great Theory. ”

"I know that you go back first, and we will give you a satisfactory answer when the time comes."

"Hmm," Shang Re retreated.

"Hong'er, what do you think?" Li Zhi asked. There is still some reluctance in my heart, this Tibetan man is not credible, he will rebel if he is advantageous, and if he is not profitable, he will be convinced, and he will rebel again. And I'm worried about what kind of tricks there are.

Li Wei looked at the letter again, and did not blame Princess Wencheng, "After all, there are too few women as wise as their mothers or the little queen mother of Tubo." That's how many years it takes for the whole country to produce one. Unable to explain, he replied: "War, most of the Tibetans don't want to fight." However, if they blindly provoke anger, Tubo will not hesitate to send some troops, and retreat with one blow to Hehuang and Jiuqu, and keep harassing 'then it will become a war between the two sides. It's not very good for our dynasty either. ”

"yes, that's what I thought, too."

"The queen mother of Tubo, the son of the minister, does not have too much ill will towards my dynasty, at least in the past few years, her ideas are contrary to those of the brothers of the Gar family. The Gar family has made a strong fortune against our dynasty, so the purpose will not change. And if she wants to suppress the Gar brothers, she must also completely repudiate the policies of the Gar brothers. But how to negotiate peace? At most, I will send an envoy to canonize his Zampu, and the rest will not be very good......"

The canonization of Zampu means that the Tang Dynasty acquiesced and approved the new Zampu, and in a sense, the Tang Dynasty was still the suzerainty of Tibet. This is also a secret support for the mother and son of the Wulu family, and the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers want to save face, and no one will oppose this decision. However, the 'peace talks' inevitably speak of the scope of the jurisdiction of the two countries. The Lu clan didn't dare to make too many concessions, and the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers would not agree. That's the hardest part.

Li Zhi also came to his senses, and said with his forehead: "Yes, it's not easy to want to make peace." ”

"Father, take a look, 'see how they make it come..."Although it is difficult, this little princess is eccentric, maybe she can come up with a way to avoid this difficulty.

Winter is in the depths, and it snows again.

Wan'er was pulled out by Wei Yue and Zheng Gongchu, and then several big snowballs came to her face. Guan Wan'er giggled, picked up a handful of snow from the ground, and smashed it back. The three little pink faces immediately became three little white flower faces.

Li Wei also walked out with his hands behind his back.

Zheng Gongchu was the most naughty, which was also unexpected by everyone, picked up a snowball, looked at Li Wei, wanted to smash it, and finally smashed it into Wei Yue's body.

"These little ones," Di Ci laughed.

At this moment, it can be seen that they are a child after all.

"In the past few years, I have also worked hard for you," Li Wei said.

Although Di Ci and Di Hao are lowly in status, they are the oldest, and they have some good heads. Otherwise, there would be no such peace in the harem. Maybe it won't be like this in the future, but at least for now, Li Wei doesn't need to worry about the harem.

"Chenduo Nada, it is His Majesty's teaching." But Di Cong's tone changed, and he said: "But Your Majesty's harem, there are children whose status is very thin, and they are ...... like this."

Whether it is Pei Yuhe, Zheng Gongchu, or Yang Min, these three women are still not pregnant. Wan'er can't be counted, it's not very beneficial to Li Wei. Only when these three concubines have sons can the future heirs of the East Palace be convincing.

In this regard, Di Cong is not surprised, no matter what, the prince will definitely not be her and Di Hao's children in the future. Your Majesty's status is the blessing of all the concubines in the East Palace.

"I don't know—" Li Wei shook his head. It seems that 'do we need to be more modest' to improve the 'quality'?

As he spoke, the eunuch came in from outside and reported to Pei Xingjian for a meeting.

"Let him in."

After a while, Pei Xingjian walked in. Letting him sit down, Li Wei said: '... The Tibetan envoy came to discuss peace, which made me think of something. The rebellion of Tubo was mainly due to the fact that there were too few ministers of the pro-Tang faction, and their personalities were originally caused by the ambition of wolves. The same is true of the Turks, such as Lingzhou, Fengzhou, and Liangzhou, and in these two cases, few tribes participated in the rebellion. I have thought about the reason, the resettlement of the tribes is mainly the Tuyuhun people and the remnants of Xue Yantuo, the Ashina Sheer department, a small number of party items, as well as the Desire Valley Department and the Qixin Department. Tuyu Hun relies on us Tang people to survive, and the two generations are related to our dynasty, so they will not rebel for the time being. The same is true for party members. Not to mention the Ashina Society. There are not many tribes in the valley, and they are deep in Liangzhou. The father and son of Qixin have been deeply favored by me. The Xue Yantuo tribe is a Tiele people, even if they are not satisfied with the 'and will not join forces with the Turks. Either the people with the surname Zhaowu Jiu were housed in Nanhetao, and they also did not have much deep affection with the Turks. So a little peace.

But Pei Qing, do you think there are interests involved, or is it important to be gracious to ensure loyalty? ”

"Your Majesty, this is very true." Pei Xingjian couldn't help frowning. The reason for this is "all kinds of coincidences, from the south of the desert to the north of the desert, it is impossible for every tribe to be like these tribes, or only like the treatment of the Uighurs", but in that case, it is a relationship that is forcibly co-opted by the damage to the interests of other tribes. After a while, he said slowly: "Your Majesty means ......"? ”

It is impossible for each part to be as kind to Tuyuhun as it is to Tuyuhun. Guan Jian also wants the Tang Dynasty itself to be strong, and I don't know what Li Wei is referring to when he turns this question out.

"I think you can take someone with you on this trip."

"You mean Ashina Daozhen? 、，

Ashina Dao is really the son of Ashina Sheer, and Ashina Sheer is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, not only because he has military exploits. This is a very interesting person, at the age of eleven, he was known for his bravery, and he was even more bullish than the bow and the kernel. Later, Jieli Khan sent troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, and the Tiele tribes and Xue Yantuo all rebelled against the 'Desire Valley to go to the town to suppress the failure, Ashina Sheer sent troops to help, at this time he was very young, and he was not Xue Yantuo's opponent, and he was also defeated. It happened that Jieli's troops were defeated by the Tang Dynasty, and in desperation, he led his troops west and fled to the Western Turks. Actually let him succeed, in the Western Turks developed into a large tribe of more than 100,000 people, 'to the chiefs of the tribes, 'the first to betray the Chinese to break the Turks, this China refers to the Turks, still think that the Turks are China's Zhengshuo, Yantuo's sin also, now I have the West, a big army, not to be peaceful Yantuo and take peace' is to forget the first Khan, for the unfilial piety. If the heavens are not good, there is no hatred in death. The chiefs of the various tribes did not listen to the persuasion, and personally led more than 50,000 cavalry to attack Xue Yantuo in Jingbei. At this time, he was only in his twenties. However, 'lost badly.'

After coming back, there were only 10,000 horsemen left, and they were afraid of the pressure of the Western Turks, so they did not dare to live in Gaochang for a long time, so Zhenguan led the people to the east in the ninth year and attached to the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin had long heard that this person was brave and good at fighting. As soon as he arrived in Chang'an, he was awarded the title of General Zuo Xiaowei and married the emperor's sister, Princess Hengyang, as his wife.

The royal marriage is a weather vane history.

Li Yuan, in order to appease the Shandong Gate Valve, married more of his daughter, to Cui Zheng Wang Lu, Li Shimin stabilized the country at this time, and he had already entered the rule from chaos, and he no longer needed to look at the face of the Shandong Gate Valve, so he married more of his daughter as a meritorious service. At this time, Ashina Sheer did not make an inch, and he got the princess and was rewarded. Therefore, he is very loyal to Li Tang.

Ashina Daozhen is the son of Ashina Sheer and the eldest princess of Hengyang. However, because of the defeat of Dafeichuan, he was also taken from his official position.

Pei Xingjian patted the table and said, "Okay! ”

Ashina Dao is really not like his Lao Tzu, it is not a little bit worse, but he does not need to lead the troops to fight. Just like Ashina Funian supported Ashina Fu Nian, what he wanted was appeal. What could be more appealing than the son of Ashina Sheer?

Once he becomes the deputy commander of the battle, at least a quarter of the Turkic rebel tribes will defect, and a quarter of the tribes will hesitate.

Not only Ashina Daozhen', but also Ashina Zhong's son Xue Guogong Ashina Lai and others, these sons of heroes loyal to the Tang Dynasty can all be used.

"It's just that there will be Lao Peiqing again." Ji Wei sighed.

Pei Xingjian is also getting older year by year, and he was born as a Wenchen, although he is a famous general, he is a Confucian general, and his body is far inferior to Xue Rengui, these fierce people, in the past few years, from Qinghai to the Western Turks' and then to the Eastern Turks. The places he traveled were all bitter cold places' Li Wei knew how hard life in the military camp was. For middle-aged people, as long as they are healthy, they are a little better, but for Pei Xingjian, the cold wind outside the plug is undoubtedly a bone-killing knife ,..."

Running back and forth again and again made Ji Wei feel at ease.

"This is the minister's job."

Li Wei didn't want to say anything more, and said: "You have heard about the matter of Tubo, Pei Qing wants to come." But I haven't figured out what the Lu clan is going to do to negotiate peace? ”

For a few days, I have been thinking about it, but no matter how much I think about it, I don't understand it.

"The minister doesn't know" Pei Xingjian shook his head, paused and said: "But since she sent someone here, there will definitely be a collision." ”

After saying that, he frowned.

This little princess is tricky and eccentric, sometimes bold and reckless, but can not be underestimated, when she met in Yaozhou, she was very tender, and immediately changed her appearance after a few years, not only succeeded in getting His Majesty out of the tiger's mouth, but also had a very long-term vision and the contradiction between the Qinling was so heavy, she actually let the Qinling put aside her ambitions and prejudices, and supported her son to become Zampu. At the moment, if it is very beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, I don't know what will become of this princess after successfully eradicating the Gar family?

A few days later, the answer came out.

Tubo finally braved a handful of flying snow and came to Luoyang.

The first is the funeral, the normal diplomatic etiquette between the two countries.

Li Zhi said some boring diplomatic rhetoric, and entered the formal topic, '... Over the years, because of the dispute over Tuguxiao, many unpleasant things have happened between my country and Datang. Li Zhi snorted coldly.

Liu Renliang and Pei Xingjian glanced at Li Wei, if Tuyuhun was mentioned, then there was no need to talk about peace this time. Isn't Lu stupid?

"These are some of the strategies formulated by the former Zampu and the former Great Commentaries, and what is right and what is wrong is in the past. Tugu Wang is just a subject country for the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. However, for the sake of this 'vassal country, there have been many fierce battles between the two countries, and no matter who wins or loses, it has brought serious trauma to the people of both countries. "Uncompensable......

"If you know this, 'Why haven't you Tubo people withdrawn their troops from Qinghai yet?' Pei Yan asked coldly.

Ronsai glanced at Pei Yan and said, "Before coming, the Lu clan reminded me again and again to pay attention to this person." Thinking in his heart, fortunately, the Queen Mother has all kinds of peace factions, otherwise this time the peace will become a laughing stock, and immediately replied: "... Pei Xianggong, I am talking about the meaning of the Queen Mother, and it is also the meaning of most of us in Tibet. This time I came just to express the meaning of peace, but the prejudice has been planted, and Qinghai has become an indissoluble knot. Pei Xianggong, if you have to turn out Tugune and solve it, then the ministers can only retire. Let the Tibetans do what others want......"

Even Li Wei didn't want this result.

If the main battle faction of the Gar brothers is allowed to occupy the wind, the lives of the mother and son of the Wulu clan will be worried, and it will not be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty. There are still hidden dangers in the Turkic rebellion in the Western Regions, and then the Tibetan will recover and fight again, and such an intensive war will inevitably form a heavy burden on the Tang Dynasty. Of course, 'Tubo may not have a good result' loses both, and everyone doesn't want to. From the perspective of diplomatic relations, the strength of the Tubo lord and faction was very weak, and at this time, the Tang Dynasty helped them to be stronger, which could also make the two factions form a constraint in the country. With constraints, opinions cannot be unified, and this kind of constraints are not like Ji Zhi and Li Wei, how to say that they are still a family, and the general direction of the Tang Dynasty continues to develop under various compromises. This kind of restraint in Tibet is very terrible, and it is the constraint of Zampu and the ministers. That's the real sword and sword, and you can't kill all the opponents.

Needless to say, it's not interesting to say it.

Wu Zetian coughed behind the curtain, and when Pei Yan heard it, he immediately understood that he was a little anxious to say this, and even Wei Xuantong and Guo Beiju were looking at him with suspicious eyes, so they immediately shut up and didn't say anything more.

Liu Renliang turned around and asked, "Then what do you want to say here?" ”

"What I want to say is that unhappiness is a thing of the past, delay it, and negotiate a solution later. But we also need those of us to have an explanation to the country. ”

It's a very euphemistic sentence, but everyone understands the meaning, you don't let our lord and faction occupy the wind, even if you talk about Tugu and the Western Regions, you don't have the right to speak in China. And there is another meaning, if you help us, we can join forces with your Tang Dynasty to kill the Gar family' Get rid of this hard-line main battle faction, and the two countries will also move towards reconciliation in the future. With the existence of the Gar family, it is useless to talk about anything. I don't dare to say it, but I can imagine that through the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the more than a dozen most important people in the Tang Dynasty all know it in their hearts.

Li Zhi's face softened, and he said, "Then what kind of negotiation method do you queen mother want?" ”

"And kiss!"

Pei Xingjian's eyes lit up, this is a wonderful thing.

This little princess is really not simple, one canonized, one is friendly, even if she puts aside the matter of Tuyuhun and the Western Regions, she can also explain to Tubo. But then I thought of one thing, and I had another headache: 'It's not easy to do.' And relatives, even if one person is picked out from the children of the clan, they are all cousins of this little Zampu, how can they get married?

Li Zhi didn't know what was going on, and he looked at several prime ministers and wanted to ask for the opinions of several prime ministers.

He continued: "We in Tibet have heard that the little princess of your country has also reached the age of peace, and she has been merciful since she was a child, gentle and elegant, although we Zampu are only eight years old, and the little princess is a few years older, and she can teach Zampu that the friendship between the two countries from an early age is also a long-term plan for the reconciliation of the country. ”

If you are really eight years old, the age difference is not very big, and you can get married. It seems to be right that 'when you are old, you have authority when you speak' Although the princess is Li Zhi's own daughter, but since she was a half-sister and half-mother, Zampu grew up and will be influenced by the little princess Ji Lingyue, and the two countries have a tendency to move towards peace.

How healthy..."

Liu Renliang, Pei Xingjian, and Di Renjie began to play coldly.

Li Yiyan suddenly slipped off the Hu bed.

Li Wei couldn't sit still, stood up, and said, "Nonsense, nonsense!" "To be continued
