Chapter 5 The Protectorate of Tibet

"You know what? In the land of Tibet, the three kings and five emperors, the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty could not go down, and it became in my hands, how about the Three Kings and Five Emperors, the Qin Emperor and the Han Wu? Li Longji smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed together, his mouth was cracked to the root of his ear, and with a smile on his face, he asked Long Wujun beside him.

Since Pangu opened the world in the land of Tibet, so many Ming monarchs and holy lords in China have not been able to defeat and cannot be incorporated into the territory, which is the heart disease of Huaxia. Such a difficult bone to gnaw turned out to be in his own hands, Li Longji thought that he was not inferior to the Three Kings and Five Emperors, the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, and even surpassed.

"Naturally, Your Majesty is wise and martial, and the Three Kings and Five Emperors, Qin Emperor and Han Wu can't reach it." How dare Long Wujun sweep Li Longji's prosperity and praise loudly.

"That's not likely, but if I can conquer the land of Tibet, I am so strong compared to them in this regard." Li Longji smiled, a seemingly humble sentence, but in fact he boasted.

Although he is boastful, but in the matter of the land of Tubo, it is really beyond the reach of the three kings and five emperors, Qin Emperor and Han Wu.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have arrived at Hanyuan Palace, and they want to congratulate Your Majesty." Gao Lishi waved away the eunuchs who came to pay tribute and shouted at Li Longji.

"Huh!" Li Longji smiled very happily: "They must also want to have fun, okay, I will fulfill them." Let's go, go to Hanyuan Palace, and I will have fun with them. ”

Such a great joy should indeed be enjoyed together, and no one has any objections.

As soon as Li Longji walked a while, he saw Chen Xuanli floating over as if he was stepping on hot wheels, and congratulated Li Longji from afar: "Minister Chen Xuanli congratulates Your Majesty on this immortal feat!" ”

"Immortal?" Li Longji frowned, very pleased.

"Your Majesty, the land of Tubo is the heart disease of China, no one has been able to include it in the territory for thousands of years, but Your Majesty has done this, can this not be a miracle?" Chen Xuanli hurriedly explained.

"Chen Xuanli, I didn't realize that your ability to slap horses is also extraordinary, but I love to hear this." The extermination of Tibet is unique to Li Longji, and Emperor Qin, Han Wu, and Tang Taizong cannot reach.

"Let's go, follow me to Hanyuan Palace." Li Longji waved his hand magnificently and walked away quickly.

Chen Xuanli strode to follow, and asked with a smile on Li Longji: "Your Majesty, Long Wujun has made a great contribution this time, right?" ”

Li Longji paused, a little surprised, and said: "It turns out that your Chen Xuanli patted my sycophants just to find out about the meritorious service of the Long Wu Army. ”

"Your Majesty, you know, the minister has been in charge of the Long Wu Army for decades, and the Long Wu Army is the child of the minister, and their meritorious service is the minister's meritorious service, of course the minister should care." Chen Xuanli was not angry at all, but was very happy, puffed up his chest, raised his head, and was extremely proud.

"Come, I'll tell you. Long Wujun......" Li Longji waved at Chen Xuanli, Chen Xuanli happily came over, Li Longji's eyes rolled, and a sly look flashed: "Why did I tell you?" "With a shake of my hand, I walked faster.

"Your Majesty, you are playing tricks on the courtiers." Chen Xuanli was bent on finding out about the merits of the Long Wu Army, but he didn't expect this to be the result, he was very angry, and he made accusations, but in exchange for Li Longji's hearty laughter.

It's actually quite fun to play tricks on Chen Xuanli, an old minister.

Hanyuan Palace, a joyful atmosphere, the ministers gathered, the envoys of all countries came to the court, and it was very lively. When the ministers met, they would congratulate each other, and everyone's faces were filled with joy, even more than the Chinese New Year.

Since Li Longji ascended the throne, he made great efforts to govern the country, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has been sharply improved, the originally restless frontier areas have been cleared, and the stable situation of the Tang Taizong period has been restored...... and were destroyed one after another.

But none of them can be compared with the destruction of Tibet, this is with Tang Taizong's extermination of the East!! The Turks and Tang Gaozong destroyed the Western Turks, and the victory was similar to that of destroying the country. In terms of difficulty, it is even more difficult than the previous two annihilations, because the high mountains and dense forests of Tubo are really helpless, otherwise, with the ability of the god of war Li Jingzhi to fight well, Tang Taizong's majestic material is strategic, and Tubo will not be destroyed early?

This news is so exciting, how can the ministers not be happy.

There is only one person who is very unhappy, and this is Yang Guozhong. At this time, Yang Guozhong hated Li Changguo so much, if it weren't for Li Changguo, he would have made great contributions to the army this time, and at that time, the position of prime minister would be at his fingertips. Where did you think that such a beautiful thing was missed by Li Changguo because of Li Changguo's strategy.

If this battle was not successful, he would have felt lucky, but fortunately he didn't go. But if he succeeded, it was still a big victory, or a big victory to destroy the country, and his anger couldn't be exhausted even if he used up the water of the three rivers and four seas.

At this moment, if Li Changguo was in front of him, he would definitely tear Li Changguo alive.

The envoys of the countries were all frightened, their hearts were pounding, and they had to pretend to be extremely happy to congratulate the ministers of the Tang Dynasty. They were subject states of the Tang Dynasty, for fear of annoying the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty sent troops to destroy their country.

Especially the envoys of the Japanese kingdom, they didn't dare to come out in an air, and they were the most afraid. Although the Wa Kingdom was isolated overseas and far away from the Tang Dynasty, with the strong national strength of the Tang Dynasty, it was not difficult to destroy the Wa State.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" Colliers' shrill roar sounded, like thunder, and it was very unpleasant. However, listening to the ears of the ministers today, it is extremely beautiful, and it is not inferior to Tianyin Xianle.

When the ministers looked over, they saw Li Longji's face full of red light, and the smiles on his face were layered layer after layer, and his whole face was full of joy, as if he was the source of joy. Walking up, whirring the wind, as if stepping on the hot wheels, floating, floating all the way.

"See Your Majesty." The ministers hurriedly saluted.

"Excuse me." Li Longji waved his hand magnificently, came to the throne and stood still, did not sit down, and a pair of eyes scanned over the ministers and envoys of the world.

"Huh." Li Longji first let out a burst of laughter, and then said: "I look at it, I see that you are all full of red light, and the corners of your mouths are cracked to the root of your ears, why are you so happy?" ”

Didn't you knowingly ask? However, speaking like this contains joy, it is very relaxed, and it makes people happy, and the ministers let out a burst of laughter: "Hehe! ”

The laughter shook the sky, and the Hanyuan Hall was shaking.

"If you don't say it, I know." Li Longji's excitement increased even more, as if he had discovered a new continent.

Isn't this nonsense, who doesn't know? The news of the demise of Tibet had long since spread. However, speaking like this made people relaxed, comfortable, and the atmosphere was more lively, and the ministers looked at Li Longji, hoping that he would say it.

The demise of Tubo has long been known, and if it can be said from Li Longji's mouth, it will be even more joyful, which is equivalent to being officially confirmed.

"Tibet is destroyed, you rejoice, and I rejoice." Li Longji did not disappoint the ministers and spoke out loudly.

"Long live Datang!"

The ministers erupted into a shocking roar, which shook the Hanyuan Hall and buzzed.

Coming out of Li Longji's mouth is equivalent to official confirmation, this is the official conclusion, who can not be happy?

Li Longji pressed down with both hands and motioned to the ministers to stop yelling and calm down. However, the ministers were very excited, how could they regain their calm in a short time, they were still yelling, and it was not until a while later that the ministers calmed down.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have worked hard to govern the country, and I did not dare to relax for a moment, and successively pacified the Later Turks, the remnants of Tuyuhun, and the Khitan...... The border of the Tang Dynasty is tranquil, and there are few wars, no less than in the Zhenguan period. Li Longji groaned slightly, began to speak, and said: "Only Tubo and the big food make it difficult for me to sleep and eat, and it is difficult to succeed." These two countries, colluding with each other, embarrassed for annihilation, in order to be the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, had formed a coalition in the first year of Tianbao, attacking Xiao Bolu, fortunately Wang Zhonghei raised an expedition to break it. ”

In order to deal with the Tang Dynasty, Da Shi and Tubo colluded together to form an alliance to be the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, which made the ministers very angry, and when they heard this, they couldn't help nodding.

"If you want to fight the Great Food, you must first solve the Tibetan problem. For this reason, I tried every means to drive Tubo back to the mountains and dense forests, which took decades, and the soldiers were killed and wounded by tens of thousands, all of which were unsuccessful, which really made my heart ache. Li Longji then said: "Now, the soldiers are using their lives, and the 300,000 troops under the command of Ge Shuhan and Li Changguo have taken Shibao City, captured Dafeichuan, crossed Jishi Mountain, and invaded the hinterland of Tubo. ”

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China's border troubles have been continuous, with Qiang in the northwest and Hu people, Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Turkic in the north. The Hu people, Xiongnu, Xianbei and Turks in the north were wiped out successively, but only the Qiang in the northwest could not be destroyed because of the special geographical environment, so it became the heart disease of China.

The Tang Dynasty was able to destroy Tubo and complete the unfinished feat of the Three Kings and Five Emperors, Emperor Qin, Han Wu and Tang Taizong, which was really a great cause for the ages.

"Your Majesty is wise!" The ministers sang in unison.

This is not a compliment of etiquette, but a real admiration. can lay down the land of Tibet, Li Longji is really wise.

Li Longji doesn't know how many times he has heard such praise in his life, whether it is a sincere praise or a courtesy praise He can hear it as soon as he hears it, this time the praise of the ministers is a sincere praise, his head is raised, his chest is straight, and he said with a smile: "This matter, I am indeed wise, and dare to use Li Changguo's plan." ”

Li Changguo's plan is very bold, but the success rate is not high, and there are not many people who dare to adopt it.

After a pause, he said, "I know you are happy, but now is not the time to rejoice, and there are more important things that we need to do. Tell me what to do next. ”

This is Li Longji's shrewdness, if he were a different person, he would definitely be happy in front of such a great event. But instead of rejoicing, he discussed the next political affairs.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the army should be withdrawn from Tibet immediately, and the army should be sent into the Western Regions to fight the Great Eclipse." Yang Guozhong had already lost the great achievement of conquering Tibet, and at this time, he was afraid that someone would take the lead and rush to answer.

"yes." The ministers echoed in unison.

The pacification of Tibet is to concentrate all efforts to fight to the death with the Great Eclipse, and now, Tubo has been destroyed, it is time to prepare for a decisive battle with the Great Eclipse, and the ministers are very much in favor of this statement.

However, Li Longji did not comment, but looked at Li Linfu and asked, "Prime Minister, what do you have to say?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the first priority at the moment is not to withdraw the army and fight the Great Eclipse, but to set up the Tubo Protectorate and stabilize the governance of Tubo." Li Linfu took a step forward and said loudly.
