According to history, Empress Changsun died of illness in Zhenguan ten years, that is, this year, if she didn't help her, she would definitely die. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

For Empress Changsun's wind disease, Zuo Shaoyang is still sure to cure it. However, if Li Yuan is cured, Li Yuan actually wants to regain the throne, which turns the world upside down, and stabs the fourth prince Li Tai to death.

Zuo Shaoyang felt a little chilling. But Li Shimin spoke earnestly in the letter, almost begging Zuo Shaoyang to save the eldest grandson, and at the end of the letter, he even said that as long as Zuo Shaoyang saved the queen, he would agree to any conditions.

The envoys of the Tang Dynasty looked at Zuo Shaoyang nervously, seeing that his face was uncertain, and he didn't know whether to agree or not, this time, the emperor had already given a death order, and if he couldn't get Zuo Shaoyang back, he didn't have to go back, he found a place to wipe his neck. This is a problem in the head of the minister, and he can't help but make him nervous.

Zuo Shaoyang put down the letter and walked around the house a few times, and then said to the envoy: "Your envoy has come all the way, and he has been tired all the way, please rest first." ”

Where did the envoy have this thought, and said with a smile: "This, Doctor Zuo, the queen is critically ill, and the humble duty is rushing here non-stop, I'm afraid of delaying the time, if the doctor regrets the emperor and the queen, please rush to Chang'an immediately!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Don't worry, it's only a day or two to be anxious, I still have to think about this matter, and I won't be able to reply to you for a while." So you can only stay there first. ”

The envoy didn't dare to say more, for fear of annoying Zuo Shaoyang, and categorically refused to save the queen, it would be over. had no choice but to promise repeatedly.

At that moment, Zuo Shaoyang ordered a banquet to be placed. This time, Zuo Shaoyang brought to the craftsmen with very good skills, but there was no need for Bai Zhihan to cook. Soon a wine banquet was set up in the banquet room. Zuo Shaoyang also asked his ten singers to play, sing, sing and dance.

How could the envoys of the Tang Dynasty have the heart to appreciate these, but he is also a very scheming person, he didn't dare to show his worries, he just toasted Zuo Shaoyang vigorously, and then kept talking about how the emperor Li Shimin and the queen loved, and after the queen was seriously ill, how the emperor couldn't take care of it, and the scene was that the stone would cry when he saw it, and when he said that he was sad, he remembered that his head might not be safe, and the envoy actually cried in mourning.

Prime Minister Xiangxiong had sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty before, and he knew some Chinese, so he persuaded the envoy. Zuo Shaoyang also wanted to divert the topic, so he asked casually: "Your envoy came this time, the journey was quite smooth, right?" ”

The envoy cried in front of him, and he also felt a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly held back his tears, choked and shook his head: "It's not good!" ”

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"Tubo is fighting with the combined forces of Duomi and Luowo, and we came here by a detour, so we have been delayed a lot of time on the road."

Zuo Shaoyang was taken aback: "What? Did the Tibetans attack the country of Luowo? ”

"Yes! It has captured most of the borders of the country of Luowo, the capital has been conquered, and the reinforcements of the country of Tami have been severely damaged! ”

Luowo is a small country near Tibet, and under the mediation of Zuo Shaoyang, it has formed an alliance with Bowo, Bailan and other countries to jointly resist Tibet. Unexpectedly, it was captured by Tibet!

Xiangxiong also sighed: "Yes, I also just got the news." That's true. ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly asked what was going on, only to learn that after he left, Tubo adopted a series of divisive strategies, and Bowo, Bailan and other countries also had their own small calculations, so when Tubo attacked Luowo, except for Duomi who sent troops to rescue in accordance with the covenant, other countries were just bluffing and did not actually send troops at all. Although Bowo's army reached the front line, it did not move, and watched as the armies of Domi and Luowo were defeated and surrounded by Tibet.

Zuo Shaoyang was very frustrated, he had this kind of worry at the time, but he didn't expect it to become a reality. This battle has fully proved that the alliance of eastern countries centered on Domi will not be able to resist the attack of Tibet!

Once the Tibetans annex the small states and tribes in the east, they will turn their heads and deal with Zhangxiong! Time is running out for yourself! Now, if you don't want to deal with the war that is coming soon, no matter how well you build Gangren Buche now, if you can't resist the iron hooves of Tibet, you will be given to others as wedding clothes at that time.

However, with the thousands of people in Gangren Buche Mandala, even if all of them go into battle, there is no way to resist the attack of the Tubo army!

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly asked Xiangxiong: "Are we Xiangxiong watching Tubo annex Luowo?" You must know that Tubo's appetite is definitely more than this, and after he annexes the small countries in the east one by one, he will turn his head and deal with us Zhangxiong. Don't be careful! ”

Zhangxiong laughed loudly: "Dharma King, you have already said this in Qionglong Yincheng, don't worry, Dharma King, we have formed an alliance with Tubo, we are a brotherly state, they will never attack us, even if they really have the courage of this thief, our Xiangxiong is a male lion, Tubo is just a jackal all the time, can the wolf fight the lion?" Don't be afraid of them, just keep your heart in your stomach and rest assured that your Gangren Buche will be your Dharma King. Hahaha"

Zuo Shaoyang smiled bitterly. When he was in Qionglong Silver City, he had already tried hard to persuade the king and the prime minister, but to no avail. Now, he had no hope of convincing them that the Tibetans would one day conquer the whole of Zhangxiong.

Zuo Shaoyang snorted, thinking about this matter in his heart. After figuring it out, he excused himself from being drunk and announced the end of the feast.

The mandala has built a post station to entertain guests, and the Xiangxiong minister arranged to rest at the post station, leaving the Tang envoys alone, wanting to know about the affairs of the Tang Dynasty.

After Xiangxiong left, Zuo Shaoyang called the envoy to his study, closed the door and spoke alone.

This move immediately filled the envoy's heart with hope, it should be that Doctor Zuo has loosened!

The envoy sat on the chair and looked at Zuo Shaoyang nervously.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "I have thought about this matter for a while, and now I will give you the bottom of it." Let me treat the queen, please ask the emperor to promise me one thing, if I can do it, I will cure the queen, if I can't do it, I can't do it. ”

The envoy hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The divine doctor, please say, before the humble post comes, the emperor has already explained, no matter what conditions the divine doctor proposes, even if it is a king and a marquis, Huang Yanjing agrees." ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled, shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in any princes and generals. ”

The envoy was stunned for a moment and said, "What does the divine doctor want the emperor to promise?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang looked back at the closed door and said in a low voice: "Please ask the emperor to send troops to destroy Tubo!" Incorporate the Western Regions into the territory of the Tang Dynasty! ”

"Huh?" The envoy was taken aback, "Why? ”

The reason is very simple, Zuo Shaoyang has thought about it for a long time, and he has already thought clearly, -- the alliance of small eastern countries led by Duomi is unreliable, and it is impossible to rely on them to resist and contain Tubo, and Zhangxiong is arrogant, too light on the enemy, and has no vigilance against Tubo, and sooner or later will be annexed by Tubo, so if you want to keep your Gangren Buche, you can only use the military power of the Tang Dynasty.

The Western Regions were officially incorporated into the Chinese territory in the Yuan Dynasty, and now it is advanced to the Tang Dynasty, which can also avoid the hundreds of years of war and chaos suffered by the people of the Western Regions after the division of Tibet, and at the same time, it will also be able to keep the Gangren Buche that they have worked so hard to build.

Of course, in this way, the entire ancient history of China has to be rewritten, Zuo Shaoyang can't care so much at the moment, anyway, from the moment he treated Li Yuan, it caused a series of butterfly effects, Li Tai was killed, and there was no threat to the crown prince Li Chengqian inheriting the throne, and the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty was no longer Li Zhi in history, but became the crown prince Li Chengqian, which has changed history. Since everything has changed, why not change more? Therefore, Zuo Shaoyang put forward this requirement that will definitely change history once it is realized.

However, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty complained vigorously, the Western Regions during this period had not yet been unified by Tubo, and there were still many small countries between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, so the Tang Dynasty's understanding of Tubo was very limited, and it was not much interested in the cold and barren Western Plateau. The attention of the Tang Dynasty was focused on the Turks in the north and Goryeo in the east. At this time, let the Tang Dynasty send elite troops to conquer the Western Regions, but I am afraid that the emperor will not agree. If the emperor does not agree, this task will not be completed, and his head will not be saved. Therefore, the envoy asked Zuo Shaoyang in a bit of a panic why the Tang Dynasty wanted to destroy Tubo.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Expanding the territory is what the emperor should do, do you still need a reason?" The Eastern Turks had been exterminated by the emperor and were now able to free their hands. ”

"However, this ......" envoy did not know how to explain the difficulty for a moment.

Zuo Shaoyang waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "No, this matter is good for the emperor and me, and it is also what the emperor should do." If the emperor agrees, I can find a way to treat the queen, if not, please forgive me for not being able to help! ”

Cold sweat came out on the forehead of the envoy, thought about it, and said: "When the humble left Beijing and rushed here, the queen was already in critical condition. I'm afraid that the queen's condition ......"

"You don't have to worry about this, I will write a letter to the emperor, and attach a prescription, you take it back, give the prescription to my apprentice Du Ming, and ask him to treat the queen according to the prescription, this prescription can cure the queen's illness, but, to be honest, this prescription cannot cure the queen's wind disease." That is, it can treat the symptoms, but not the root cause. There will definitely be a recurrence in the future. The emperor said that after the unification of the Western Regions, I will completely cure the queen's illness. ”

"This, why didn't the divine doctor cure the queen? As long as the emperor agrees to something, he will definitely do it. ”

"But now the emperor hasn't agreed." Zuo Shaoyang said, "When the Tang army captures Luoqi City, I will cure the queen completely!" I will promise in the letter that if the queen uses my prescription, she will basically recover from the wind disease, and everything else will return to normal and live like a normal person. It's just that the roots are not broken. ”

When the envoy heard Zuo Shaoyang say this, he had no choice but to agree.

Zuo Shaoyang immediately wrote a letter, wrote another prescription, and wrote down the precautions, sealed it, and handed it to the envoy.

The envoy was anxious and wanted to set off to return to Datang overnight, but Zuo Shaoyang did not force him to stay, because it was already late at night, and the envoy did not even say goodbye to Xiangxiong, so he hurriedly set off with the escort team and rushed back to Datang.

Next, there is only waiting for the effect. Gangren Buche is too far away from Datang, and the news will be fed back, and it will be half a year later at the earliest. Zuo Shaoyang didn't know if Emperor Li Shimin would agree to his almost absurd request. Because Li Shimin at that time was not interested in unifying the distant and barren Western Regions, I don't know if his love for his wife can make him change his mind.

The next day, the prime minister of Xiangxiong learned that the envoys of the Tang Dynasty said goodbye without saying goodbye, muttered a few words, and returned to Qionglong Silver City with the escort.

Next, Zuo Shaoyang continued to build his own small kingdom. The elders and Dharma protectors sent out bought a large number of cattle and sheep one after another, and Zuo Shaoyang sold all of them on credit to the poor people in Mandala, starting with the poorest on credit. After the warm spring, the engineering team is also building houses on a large scale. Under Zuo Shaoyang's large amount of silver, the mandala can be described as a day by day. Nearby villagers and merchants from all over the world knew about it and migrated here one after another to settle down. The population of the mandala has increased substantially.

Half a year later, the population of Mandala has reached 30,000! The size of the urban area is also more than ten times larger than before. The bustling scene can be compared with Qionglong Silver City.

At this time, bad news came again! Tubo conquers the country of Bowo! Hit the Tami reinforcements again. And Chen Bing Duomi border!

And on the Tang side, there has been no movement of troops for a long time!

Zuo Shaoyang smiled bitterly, maybe Li Shimin had seen through his tricks.

Zuo Shaoyang was not ruthless to the point of trading the patient's illness, the prescription he prescribed could actually cure the wind disease of Empress Changsun, the reason why he said that it could not be cured, and it would recur, was that he wanted to use this to force Emperor Li Shimin to send troops to unify the Western Regions. However, after Empress Changsun took this medicine and completely recovered from her illness, the group of imperial doctors were not vegetarians, and perhaps they had found that Empress Changsun had fully recovered, and Li Shimin would not have sent troops to the Western Regions.

It seems that he is still soft-hearted. Zuo Shaoyang regretted that he didn't take the life of Empress Changsun to blackmail Li Shimin into sending troops. However, if he were to choose again, he would not do it.

At this time, he also received a letter from home, which was sent to Zhangxiong Qionglong Silver City by Xiao Yunfei, the princess of Feiyang, through the official post station, and then to Gangren Buche. A large envelope containing letters from the whole family to him, including those from his son and daughter, who had just learned to write. said that everything was safe at home, and everyone was very concerned about them. Seeing Zuo Shaoyang and the second daughter, they were in tears.

In the blink of an eye, it was autumn again, and Zuo Shaoyang finally ushered in the envoys of the Tang Dynasty.

This envoy was the one who came last time, and he went to Gangren Buche Mandala accompanied by the Minister of Zhangxiong. Last time, I frowned, but this time it was full of spring breeze.

The envoys brought a large number of rewards from Emperor Li Shimin, including countless gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin. At the same time, he also brought a secret letter from Li Shimin.
