It was the New Year, and on the morning of the first day of the new year, in many square cities, in the courtyards of rich and noble people, the courtyard fire that burned overnight on Chinese New Year's Eve was still not extinguished.

According to the customs of the Tang people, the longer the fire burns, the more vigorous the year, and the rich also throw spices into the fire, making the whole house fragrant.

At this moment, located in the south and southeast corner of the east gate of Qinrenfang, covering an area of one-eighth of the square, the palace of Dongping County is full of fire and fragrance.

In this most luxurious and magnificent mansion in the whole Chang'an City, in addition to the imperial palace, a strategist named noble and a strategist named Yan Zhuang are sitting and drinking tea in a gorgeous and exquisite warm pavilion.

The noble who lost one ear was obviously absent-minded, and seemed very excited, and his voice trembled slightly: "It's noon soon, I don't know what happened at the court meeting?" ”

The noble temperament is crazy, but Yan Zhuang, who sits opposite the low table, is a gloomy and introverted person, but at this time, his heart is inevitably a little shaken.

Since the day of Xianjie, he decided to take refuge in Xiao Quai, but on the one hand, he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to go to Cheng, and on the other hand, Xiao Quai's illness caused a lot of trouble this time, and Yan Zhuang wanted to see how Xiao Quai's illness would deal with it.

To tell the truth, Yan Zhuang extremely disagreed with Xiao Quai's move of banning private money in the morning court on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.

He really couldn't figure it out, with Xiao Quai's ingenuity, how could he do such a thing that offended the entire Tang magnates, but he couldn't get any benefit!

Because of these two reasons, Yan Zhuang's plan to secretly surrender to Cheng was put on hold, and he wanted to wait and see.

Although he admired Xiao Quai, he didn't have a good impression. Not to mention closeness. The reason why he chose to take refuge in Xiao Quai. is nothing more than feeling that in the battle between Xiao An and the two, Xiao Quzhi may be the ultimate winner.

If Xiao Qu's illness was killed before he surrendered, Yan Zhuang would only breathe a sigh of relief in his heart and celebrate with Gao Shang. Well, finally I don't have to choose anymore!

However, when he heard Gao Shang say his latest plan today, Yan Zhuang also chuckled in his heart. Inevitably, some worries about him.

Or to be precise, he was very curious about whether Xiao Qu's illness could get through this hurdle.

"Brother Gao, don't worry, with my observation and understanding of that thief, I think he will definitely be fooled this time!" Yan Zhuang had a smile on his face, but his heart was full of questions: What would you do?

Over there, the noble face that received an affirmative answer suddenly turned hideous, revealing a smile that seemed to be about to kill: "Haha, in that case, let's wait and see." ”

At the same time, Daming Palace. Hanyuan Palace, the link of the court's contribution ceremony has passed. Naturally, Xiao Qu's illness is the most brilliant.

In addition to the unique crystal cup and crystal dragon, what makes Jia more important is the five hundred crystals that followed.

Li Longji was very happy, Xiao Qubing said, he donated the water spirit masterbatch brought from the mountains for free, and the income from the sale of 500 crystal vessels this time was considered to be from the Four Seas Trading Company.

He Li Longji accounted for half of the income of the Sihai Trading Company, although thirty percent of it was used to raise and train troops, but when the Sihai Trading Company came out, the treasury would not need to be released again. The less money the treasury spends, the more money he has to spend on it.

Therefore, with these five hundred crystals alone, he can get more than one million benefits. Li Longji remembers clearly, Xiao Quzhi said more than 4,000 guan, and Li Longji believes that Xiao Quzhi must have the ability to sell it for 5,000 or 6,000 guan.

This Xiao Quzhi is just a fortune boy, Li Longji thought happily in his heart, even the Tubo envoy in the main hall who had a hateful face before looked much better at this time.

There are three Tibetan envoys in the main hall, one is two pairs, and they are making the bag. Shang Jie Zanlasang was asking for peace at this moment, and begged the Tang Emperor to continue to maintain the relationship between his uncle and nephew with Tubo Zanpu.

“…… The nephew knows the humility and dares to be rude! Zheng Weibian will be punished, resulting in the guilt of the uncle. Repeatedly sent envoys to the court, all of them were curbed by the border generals. …… If you restore the old good, you will die without hatred!"

Since the Tang Dynasty married the two princesses, it also brought a large number of literary classics, advanced technology and culture, etc., so many years have passed, Tubo is not all barbarians, a beggar and a lot of the content of the table Xiao Qu can not understand.

However, the general meaning is also clear, that is, Tubo Zampu wants to be Li Longji's nephew, and his uncle can't bully his nephew, so we will make peace with the truce.

Tubo is afraid!

Last year, their young and vigorous Tsangpu Tridezuzan was blown up and killed by the Suvi King Wulingzan's faction, and now Trisong Detsen, who is less than ten years old, ascended the throne of Zampu.

At the same time, there was a chaotic situation in Tibet, and Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie opposed Buddhism, seized the opportunity to control the government, arrested suspicious people and those who talked about it everywhere, and at the same time severely cracked down on ministers who believed in Buddhism, and enacted laws prohibiting Buddhism.

This made the Tubo people's hearts panic because of the unclear death of the old Zampu, and the contradictions became more intensified, and the Tubo regime had reached the most dangerous time, crumbling, facing collapse at any time, at this time, it was naturally afraid that the Tang Dynasty would take advantage of his illness and ask for his life, so he sent begging for peace.

Xiao Quai's eyes flashed with a cold light, this Tubo barbarian thought it was quite beautiful, in the previous time and space, this group of Tubo barbarians took advantage of the Tang Dynasty's Anshi Rebellion to occupy a large area of Hexi Longyou's territory, and later under the guidance of the traitor, they captured Chang'an, looted it, and killed Yingcheng.

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty naturally would not let go of the good opportunity of the civil strife in Tubo, not to mention that the civil strife in Tubo was instigated by the Anxi army!

That sac. As soon as Shang Jiezan finished reading out the table, Li Longjiyun smiled lightly and spit out two words lightly: "Not allowed!" ”

That sac. Shang Jiezan was stunned, since Li Longji ascended the throne, Tubo has also sued for peace many times, Li Longji has only agreed once, and most of them disagree, but the tone is very polite, why is it so neat this time?

In another time and space, the future prime minister in power in Tibet, Shang Jiezan is also a shrewd person who is unique in ten thousand, he clearly feels the contempt and pride in Li Longji's demeanor and tone, could it be that he already knows the inside story of Tibet?

The tragic death of Chide Zuzan and the turmoil of the Tibetan regime were originally planned to be concealed by the high-level Tubo officials, but many tribes fled in chaos, and the Tang Dynasty was attached to the clan, and the news was almost impossible to hide.

So they decided that instead of concealing the news and being considered by Datang as Tubo's weak heart, it was better to take the initiative to send Datang to inform Datang generously. In this way, it seems to be more confident, Datang does not dare to despise Tubo, but he did not expect that Datang may already know the inside story.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the matter is big, peace is two benefits, and war is two harms, please think twice before making a decision!"

Li Linfu stood up with a wat board in his hand: "How do you know that the ambassador didn't think twice? Tubo has repeatedly invaded our land, kidnapped my people, and my Tang Dynasty is a feud, now only you live and die, not die, how to make peace and two benefits? ”

Shang Jiezan chuckled in his heart, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty said it so absolutely, it seems that he really knew the inside story for a long time, maybe the death of the former Zampu was related to the Tang Dynasty.

Shang Jiezan refused to believe that their Chide Zuzan should have been punished by God for angering the god of thunder of the Bon religion.

Yang Guozhong also jumped out, and said very arrogantly: "Don't you know when we don't know?" You Tibetans are almost finished! ”

Shang Jiezan had fully understood at this time that it was no longer possible to beg for peace, so he simply gave up his previous plan and his attitude became tougher. He knew that the weaker the momentum at this time, the more unfavorable it would be for Tibet.

"What does Yang Dashuai know?" Shang Jiezan counterattacked: "I, the king of Tubo, the Ming and the sage, are united in their hearts, and there are dangers of mountains and rivers, although there are a few small jumps, they will become powdered in a few days, and what is the damage to the overall situation?" ”

After a pause, he looked at Yang Guozhong and An Lushan quite contemptuously, and showed a mocking smile: "It's you Datang, you have a bright appearance, but in fact, there are hidden dangers everywhere, traitors are in charge, deceive and conceal the superiors, two big defeats, and the whole army is wiped out 140,000 people......"

Yang Guozhong had already led the Jiannan Festival envoy in November last year, so Shang Jiezan specially called him Yang Dashuai, and he stared at Yang Guozhong and An Lushan contemptuously to tell the Tang Dynasty civil and military officials and envoys from various countries that these two defeats were fought by Yang Guozhong and An Lushan.

Yang Guozhong was annoyed and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! In May of the tenth year, our Tang Jiannan Army broke 50,000 troops of the Nanzhao and Tubo coalition forces on the shore of the Erhai Sea in Nanzhao, and beheaded 13,000 ......" (to be continued. )
