Chapter 0744. Inexplicably, it became
On this rare day, the weather in Lhasa, the city of sunshine, became foggy, and there was a little rain in the morning, and the dripping raindrops revealed a mournful atmosphere, which seemed to be brewing the atmosphere for some cups on this day. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]
With two dark circles under their eyes, Qin Huaiyang and his wife climbed up the towering palace tower of Tubo in a daze like ghosts, and under the guidance of the palace maid, they went to the conference hall where Zampu received foreign guests.
Coincidentally, Zampu Mangsong Mangzan and his wife also had a pair of dark eye circles, and appeared on the couch in low spirits, sitting side by side not only did not want to be the gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the past, but it was like two giant pandas piled up there, this scene, Qin Huaiyang who saw it chuckled in his heart.
Could it be that Princess Wencheng had already poked out the secret last night?
In the apprehension, Qin Huaiyang respectfully closed his sleeves and greeted Mangsong Mangzan and said, "Foreign Minister Qin Huaiyang pays a visit to Zampu."
"Hehe, Ambassador Qin is exempt." With bloodshot panda eyes, Mangsong Mangzan reluctantly squeezed out a smile and waved his sleeves and said.
"I don't know the alliance with Fujian, is Zampu ready?"
"Well, the oath with the kingdom has been built, just by the Lhasa River, these days the widow has also fasted and meditated, tomorrow at noon, you can swear with the Fujian country, and the lonely person prepared a five-meter stone tablet, ready to engrave a tablet in the Jokhang Temple to record this alliance, the stone tablet in one day, Tubo will never dare to betray the alliance."
"In that case, thank you Zamp." Qin Huaiyang rolled up his sleeves again and bowed respectfully.
But then the atmosphere was a little awkward, Qin Huaiyang was nervous and stopped, and Mangsong Mangzan also looked like he was talking about it, and after a while, the two of them raised their robes at the same time.
"About Princess Wencheng......"
The voices of the two sounded at the same time, and they couldn't help but be stunned, Qin Huaiyang's calmness disappeared in an instant, and he barely arched his hand with a sad face.
It was really like being judged, Qin Huaiyang's face twitched, and Li Xueyan, who was following him, lowered his head and held the corner of his clothes. looked at the couple in surprise, choked for a while, Mangsong Mangzan forced himself to maintain the image of the lord of the country, and said loudly.
"Regarding Princess Wencheng's ordination, the widow thinks it's better to forget it! After all, Princess Wencheng is also a widowed elder, and now Tubo is studying Fujian, and Fujian rules the world with forbearance and filial piety, and it is not good to force the elders to become monks after all, what do you think? ”
As soon as they heard this, Qin Huaiyang and Li Xueyan almost shook their heads off, and dug the pit by themselves, Qin Huaiyang originally had a headache How to go back on his word and rescue Princess Wencheng, but he didn't expect that someone would send a pillow just as he was about to fall asleep, and Mangsong Mangzan proposed it himself.
"Okay, it's too good, the lord of the country is benevolent and filial, famous in the world, and famous in history."
He really looked at Qin Huaiyang and the two in surprise, Mangsong Mangzan was confused, Lu Dongzan came to persuade him not to be too soft on the Fujian State, and he felt that it was very difficult to leave a back road to Chang'an, how could he not imagine that this Fujian envoy turned his face faster than turning a book.
The wide-eyed and small-eyed stared for a moment, Qin Huaiyang also noticed his gaffe, and couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment, but Mangsong Mangzan became even more slurching.
"That, the widow has already decided, go to Beijing with your envoy to worship the King of Fujian, and ask your envoy to prepare properly for the trip."
Before the words fell, Qin Huaiyang's eyes immediately widened again.
Although he made this request at the beginning, asking Tubo Zanpu to go to Beijing to worship, but in fact, Qin Huaiyang did not report much hope, you must know that Songtsan Gampo was so eager for the system and technology of the Tang Dynasty, so eager to make peace with the Tang Dynasty, and even did not hesitate to fight each other, Tang Taizong asked him to come to Chang'an to complete the marriage, he refused, as for Mangsong Mangzan, I am afraid he does not have the courage.
But I never imagined that Mangsong Mangzan actually agreed.
Qin Huaiyang and Li Xueyan didn't react for a long time, looking at the stunned appearance of the two of them, a trace of displeasure couldn't help but reveal on Mangsong Mangzan's face, originally a lord bowed his head to other countries, and it was already very embarrassing to go to Beijing to worship in person, but the messenger reacted like this, which made Mangsong Mangzan unhappy.
Raising his throat, he asked with a little annoyance, "What, isn't your envoy welcome?"
A spirit woke up, Qin Huaiyang hurriedly waved his hand vigorously: "No, no, no, no, the little envoy is just a momentary surprise, the lord of the country is wise, and the grace will be by thousands of people in the two countries, Qin Huaiyang is here to admire the mind of the lord of the country!"
Listening to Qin Huaiyang's comfortable sycophants, Mangsong Mangzan's young face finally showed a smile.
The lord of Tubo suddenly agreed to visit Fujian, and then made an oath with Tubo, Qin Huaiyang's work was immediately busy, and he hurriedly wrote a letter to report to the country, asking Fujian to prepare for Mangsong Mangzan's visit and plan for the itinerary.
Especially Qin Huaiyang still has a hidden worry in his heart, although he doesn't know why Tubo got nervous and released Princess Wencheng again, but from that day, Zijuan's hatred for Li Xueyan may not be offset by restoring her freedom, who knows if she will fight to reveal Li Xueyan's secret and break up the two?
With this kind of worry, Qin Huaiyang was busy until the day of the alliance.
The alliance can have a special position in the ancient Chinese culture, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, a very important virtue among the five virtues of a gentleman, and the alliance often represents a major event of military aircraft, and even related to the fate of a country, especially in the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, where the annexation war is particularly serious.
Although the betrayal of the alliance is not uncommon, it is an extremely disrespectful performance in Huaxia's view of interests, unless it is a mess of betraying the alliance, otherwise, no one will believe in him anymore, form an alliance with him, and want to gain credit again, unless he pays an extremely heavy price.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng Guo was in the core area of the Jin and Chu hegemony, and the Zheng people were in the Qin and Chu dynasties, and their credit was extremely bad, so Zheng Guo was invaded three times a year, and the rice finances paid by both sides made the people miserable. On the contrary, the Song State, which was also between Chu and Jin, was very stubborn, and was once besieged by the Chu army in the capital for more than a year.
There is another example is the king of Chu Huai, during the Warring States Period, the Qin State and the Qi State became strong one after another, competing for hegemony in the Central Plains, in order to win over the Chu State, the Qin State gave up the captured Chu State Shangyong region, which can be tempted by the covenant of the Qi people, and the Chu State fell to the Qi State in less than a few years, for this reason, the furious Qin sent troops to attack Chu, pulled out ten cities, and beheaded 80,000.
The state of Chu wanted to negotiate peace with the state of Qin again, and the king of Qin proposed that unless the king of Chu Huai personally went to Wuguan to join the alliance with him, so the king of Chu Huai, who was forced to leave, was ambushed and deceived by the state of Qin, and was imprisoned in Xianyang until death.
It can be seen that the credit of the alliance is important in the hearts of the people! What a price to pay for throwing away credit!
For this, Tubo is also well aware, in order to re-reconcile with Fujian, Mangsong Mangzan and Lu Dongzan launched the Tubo people nearly 100,000, bury weapons and cast the oath platform to show the friendship between the two countries, kill three animals and slaves to sacrifice to the sky, Qin Huaiyang and Mangsong Mangzan are all dressed and stand side by side on the oath platform to swear an alliance between the two countries, and then put the jade alliance book and sacrificial offerings in the pit and burn.
Tubo's movements were very fast, and the princess of the covenant also attended the ceremony, which made Qin Huaiyang, who was standing on the oath platform and reading the covenant, sweat nervously.
However, what surprised him was that except for Princess Wencheng glaring at him hatefully at the beginning, he kept his head down and watched the ceremony silently at the rest of the time.
This opportunity was missed by Princess Wencheng when the secret of Li Xueyan was revealed and the two countries could not come to Taiwan.
As the sun set, the corpses of the beheaded slaves were also thrown into the Lhasa River, and as the boiling river was washed away, about 100 Tubo people were unlucky, but the success of the oath relieved tens of thousands of nobles and thousands of Fujian merchants who went to Tibet to do business.
Moreover, a new monument of the Fujian Association replaced the monument of the Tang Dynasty that should have been erected here in history, and was placed in the backyard of the Jokhang Temple.
On the third day after the alliance was formed, the convoy of the Tubo lord to visit Fujian was also organized, and the nobles of the country, the four guards, etc., formed an army of 10,000 to become the Zampu Guard, as many as 30,000 horses, 10,000 yaks, tens of thousands of sheep, and dozens of carts of Tubo specialties The alliance team began to slowly set off from Lhasa and advance in the direction of Beijing.
Riding a high-headed horse in Tibet, leading the way in the front of the team, Qin Huaiyang still feels confused.
All this development was so dramatic that inexplicably, everything went smoothly, so easily, he returned with the surrendered Tubo lord.
Not only him, but even Li Xueyan, who was riding a horse, also had a dreamlike feeling, not really pulling Qin Huaiyang's sleeves, but the deputy envoy Li Que looked disinterested, as if he was sleeping and swaying with the horse.
After struggling for most of the day, Qin Huaiyang couldn't help but glance back at the moving convoy and whispered to Li Que in a daze.
"Captain Li, our errand is a little too smooth this time, right? Inexplicably, the lord of Tubo agreed to visit our Fujian capital so easily, and we don't know if there is any reason for this. ”
Yawning, Li Que muttered vaguely with an impatient expression: "Tubo Zampu's head doesn't grow on the shoulders of the last general, how can the last general know?"
Touching a soft nail, Qin Huaiyang still continued to ask unwillingly: "Not to mention Tubo Zampu, just Tubo pardoned Princess Wencheng, and Princess Wencheng hated Snow Goose so much, and suddenly abandoned her grudge, this thing is too weird, right?"
"Weird fart!"
