As soon as Du He's words came out, Li Shimin immediately became interested.

There was a shortage of salt in Guanzhong, and when Du He said that there were salt fields in Qinghai, he immediately sent someone to verify it. Not long ago, I got the news that Du He's words were true, and the experts sent to Qinghai Yantian praised the Qinghai Yantian as the largest and most abundant land salt pan discovered so far. As long as it is developed, the millions of people in Guanzhong will be spared the hardship of less salt. Datang also does not need to travel thousands of miles to transport salt from the south of the Yangtze River.

After receiving this news, Li Shimin immediately decided to take Qinghai as a place. For the sake of Datang, even if it is a war, it will not hesitate!

However, the focus of the Tang Dynasty is on the development of the Silk Road after all, and Qinghai already belongs to the plateau region, there is altitude sickness, and the Tang army will be at a great disadvantage in terms of geographical advantages.

With the current situation, as long as Tibet can cede Qinghai, Li Shimin is quite satisfied.

But Du He said that he could let Tubo not only cut the land, but also let them pay tribute to himself, which was really incredible. But he knew Du He, and knew that since he had opened this mouth, he must have already had a clever plan, so he asked, "What do you think?" ”

Du He smiled confidently: "Use Lu Dongzan, Lu Dongzan is the prime minister of Tubo, his status is like Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang of Shu, his words are worth a thousand times more than us, if he agrees to cede Qinghai and agree to pay tribute to my Tang Dynasty, this matter will be done." ”

"What kind of ploy is this!!" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and said disapprovingly: "Lu Dongzan is talented, and I know it well, but he is loyal to Tubo. No matter what threats are received, they will not do anything unfavorable to Tibet......"

"This kid naturally knows, but there are some things that he can't control!" Du He sold a pass, and did not explain his method, but said: "If you want to succeed in your strategy, you must have someone who is proficient in Tibetan writing, and it is best to be able to imitate the handwriting of others!" As long as there is this character, it will be done. ”

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, then smiled: "Let you give it a try, it's okay!" The person you want, I have. I have a lot of talents in the Tang Dynasty, and there is a person named Chen Wen in the direct bachelor of Hongwen Hall, who is engaged in Tibetan literature and is proficient in Tibetan characters. Imitation of other people's handwriting is not difficult to do as long as he is given a certain amount of time. ”

Du He smiled happily and said, "Then Uncle Li, you just wait for the good news!" Xuanqin Mausoleum come in first! ”

Qin Ling was a young man in his twenties, with a strong and heroic body, but as soon as he walked into the hall with his front foot, he cried out with tears without regard to etiquette, and his voice was very miserable.

"Your Majesty Tian Khan, Qinling lost his mother since he was a child, thanks to his father's own hands, the weight of his father's kindness, there is the height of the Tianshan Mountain. I beg Your Majesty to read Qinling's filial piety, so let Qinling see Daddy and salute and say hello! ”

He knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, and blood marks came out of his head.

Du He sighed and said: "Uncle Li, my Tang Dynasty has always given priority to obeying the hundred lines of filial piety, Lu Dongzan has a great fault, but Qinling's filial piety is not guilty, and it doesn't hurt for him to see Lu Dongzan." However, in order to prevent the leakage of our Tang Dynasty's military secrets, when they talk, they must be guarded, and they must not speak Tubo. If he disobeys, I Datang has the right to detain him, and if Lu Dongzan is the case, he will not be allowed to meet with others. ”

Li Shimin also sighed, made a look of being moved by Qinling's filial piety, nodded in agreement, but repeatedly emphasized that Qinling must comply with the requirements.

Qin Ling hurriedly agreed.

************

Lu Dongzan is a great minister of Tibet, and his knowledge is extraordinary. For such a person, Li Shimin was not embarrassed, but just gave him a reading courtyard in the corner of the palace to restrict him from going out.

Under the care of the guards, Qin Ling met Lu Dongzan.

Facing his imprisoned father, Qin Ling cried excitedly, walked forward on his knees, knelt in front of Lu Dongzan, and kept bowing.

Lu Dongzan didn't expect to see his son again, he looked excited, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up.

At this time of physical contact, Qin Ling secretly stuffed the strips of rags that had been hidden in his hands into Lu Dongzan's sleeve.

Lu Dongzan's expression remained unchanged, and he was still excited and couldn't help himself.

The guards did not find any anomalies, but this scene fell into the eyes of Du He, who had been lurking on the sidelines.

Lu Dongzan and Qinling chatted about family life, and did not talk about state affairs.

Just half an hour later, Lu Dongzan left for a while with the excuse of urinating.

An hour later, the time for the visitation had come.

The father and son couldn't control their love and hugged each other. Secretly, Lu Dongzan also stuffed strips of rags into Qin Ling's sleeve.

Qin Ling left the small courtyard under the leadership of the guards, and before he walked out of the palace, Du He had already blocked his way, and said with a smile: "Although you and I have different positions, I am afraid that we will not be able to become friends with each other, but I have always respected filial piety. ”

Qin Ling was reluctant in his heart.

But Du He also insisted on it, and finally said angrily: "I said that I have done you a great favor today, but you are so rejecting people and thousands of miles away, what is the reason?" Am I not worthy to drink with you? ”

Qin Ling had no choice but to agree.

On the way, he "encountered" Li Jingye, Du He called him, and the three of them came to the largest restaurant in Chang'an together.

asked for a private room, and the group ate and drank.

Du He sat beside Qinling and toasted him frequently, expressing his appreciation for his filial piety.

Although Qinling was helpless, he also had to reluctantly cope.

When the anhydride was hot, Du He gave Li Jingye a look, and also played with urine.

Out of the room, Du He walked directly into the private room next door.

The straight bachelor arranged by Li Shimin for him has been waiting for a long time.

Du He handed the strip of cloth he took from Qin Ling to Chen Wen, a straight scholar, and said in a low voice, "What is written?" ”

The strips of cloth were written all over the dense boys, of course, they were all in Tubo script, and Du He didn't recognize a word.

Chen Wen looked back and forth, his face was serious, and he said in a low voice: "On the strip of cloth, Lu Dongzan asked Tubo Zanpu to refuse His Majesty's request, he said that if Qinghai is ceded, it is equivalent to familiarizing the Tang Dynasty with the environment and climate of Tubo. In this way, Tibet will lose its natural danger. He asked Zampu to change his policy, tried his best to win over Zhangxiong, Nanzhao, and Nibora as allies, stabilized internal affairs, and constantly sent troops to harass my Datang border, so that my Datang border was not peaceful, and my Datang could not deal with the affairs of the Western Regions with peace of mind. They will form an alliance with them. In the end, he also said that if our Tang Dynasty sent troops to Tibet, he would let Tubo Zampu adopt the tactics of clearing the wall and field, and attract our army to the hinterland of Tibet, so that our Tang Dynasty would not be able to attack the stronghold, and would not be able to grab supplies, so as to defeat our Tang Dynasty with the climate, so as to win. In this strip, it is repeatedly emphasized that we must form a good relationship with Zhangxiong and not be an enemy of Zhangxiong. said that once he became an enemy of Zhangxiong, Datang would definitely support Zhangxiong to fight against Tubo, which would be unfavorable to Tubo. ”

Du He's expression was moved, and he shouted in a low voice: "What a Lu Dongzan, what a good character, he actually analyzed his intentions exactly the slightest, and fought back against the weakness of Datang." With the existence of such a wonderful character as him, it is no wonder that Tubo can become my fierce rival of the Tang Dynasty. Saying this, he immediately laughed proudly, secretly praised himself for his foresight, and first trapped Lu Dongzan to death and imprisoned, so that his ability was useless.

After a little mover, Du He said: "You immediately re-write a similar secret letter in the Tubo script in the tone of Lu Dongzan, and the content is based on Gou Jian's lying salary and tasting courage as an example. Let them obey my Datang's proposal, and pay tribute every year to stabilize my Datang, show submission, and let my Datang ignore their existence. In military affairs, he first took Zhangxiong, and then fought Nanzhao. When the strength is strong, I will come to fight with my Datang. ”
