Li Qinzai's face turned green.

When he was drunk, he peed everywhere in the Taiji Palace is forever black history, and Li Zhi picked up his pants in public.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Zhi's words fell, there was a burst of laughter in the hall, and Zan Xiruo looked at everyone inexplicably, although it was unknown, but it was funny, so he also laughed a few times stupidly.

After Li Zhi laughed, he immediately ordered the eunuch to lead Li Qinzai to the first seat in the palace and sit down, leaning on the head of Li Zhi and Empress Wu, which can be said to be the C position of this banquet.

Li Qinzai sighed secretly, but had to start.

As soon as he sat down, Li Zhi came over and whispered in his ear: "Banquet for the Tubo minister, why didn't Jing Chu pretend to be sick?" ”

Li Qinzai said curiously: "How does Your Majesty know that the minister is pretending to be sick?" ”

Li Zhi sneered: "I'm young, I'm crazy with chicken feet, and I'm foaming at the mouth, do you think I'm stupid?" Even if you pretend to be a little more restrained, I believe it. ”

Li Qinzai suddenly realized that he had acted.

Learn a lesson, the next time you pretend to be sick, you will say that you have a headache, anyway, the headache is very ethereal, and advanced machines after more than a thousand years may not be able to detect it.

The banquet continued to be hearty, with the arrival of Li Qinzai, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more warm, Zanxiruo seemed to be very happy, not only drank happily, but also took advantage of the wine to dance the Tubo dance in the hall, the dance was quite beautiful.

Over the past 5,000 years, the neighbors around the Central Plains Dynasty seem to be very good at singing and dancing, both men and women can dance at any time, but the Central Plains Dynasty, except for the praise of "lying groove" and "awesome", there are few people who can sing and dance.

Of course, the Tang Dynasty may be an exception, after all, the royal family has a little bit of Xianbei blood, and Emperor Taizong Li Shimin likes to dance.

Li Shimin's hobbies have driven the courtiers below, so like Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Cheng Biting Jin, Qin Qiong, etc., they can barely twist a few times with the music, as for whether the dance is good-looking......

How beautiful can a group of out-of-shape old horsemen dance?

Tonight's banquet was full of guests and hosts, and after Zanxiruo finished dancing, he won the applause of the whole house, and Li Qinzai applauded and cheered, shouting "Bazaar Black", which attracted the attention of the monarchs and ministers in the palace.

Li Qinzai said that it was normal, and if he didn't shout "Baza Black" after the Tubo dance, wouldn't he lose his soul? None of you here understand.

The banquet lasted until midnight, and finally Zan Xiruo was finally drunk, sitting behind a low table and staggering, trying to keep his body balanced, and the only reason left in his mind told him that he could not lose his honor in front of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhi drank more restrained tonight, he and Li Qinzai's temper was quite conformous, both of them could tell the occasion, this kind of diplomatic entertainment occasion, of course Li Zhi and Li Qinzai would not drink too much.

The people of the palace sent the drunk Zanxiruo out of the palace, and Xu Jingzong and others also retired with interest.

When there were only two people left in the hall, Li Qinzai yawned and was about to retire, Li Zhi stopped him with a smile and motioned for him to sit down, and the monarch and ministers continued to spread it.

The two sat down and drank together, which was different from the entertainment just now, holding a pot in each hand and pouring themselves a drink.

After the third round, Li Zhi put down the wine cup, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "What does Jing Chu think of Zan Xiruo suddenly coming to Chang'an to congratulate?" ”

Li Qinzai blinked: "The minister wants to know if he has officially submitted his credentials before he comes to the court, or whether he has expressed his intention to come to Chang'an through the Tibetan envoys." ”

Li Zhi shook his head: "If you come in a hurry, about last month, Honglu Siqing sent me a letter of state, as well as the news that Tubo wants to make the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Qinzai said: "That is to say, if you have been on the road for at least a few months, the letter of state will arrive in Chang'an, or rather, he will set off first and hand over the letter of state on the road." ”

Li Zhi snorted and said: "I set off in such a hurry, and I don't know what it is for, at today's night banquet, I originally planned to test my words, but Zanxiruo was very slippery, and it seemed to be endless, but there was no real word, it was all a welcome and praise to me......

Saying that, the corners of Li Zhi's mouth twitched, and he snorted, and said: "The rhetoric in praise of me is very gorgeous, and it is all made up and sung, and the ability of the other country to welcome it really makes me feel very shy......"

Li Qinzai glanced at him obliquely, are you shy? When people were singing praises just now, you were about to take off, and I felt ashamed to sit next to me with that joyful and joyful appearance.

"Cough, Your Majesty, let's get down to business, let's not talk about praise...... Li Qinzai reminded: "Praise if you come here, there must be a purpose, and the minister's guess is probably related to our Tang Dynasty's actions on the Haidong Peninsula." ”

Li Zhi nodded: "I think the same way, Haidong is decided, and Wang Shi relies on the power of firearms, and the battle of the Eastern Expedition is smooth, and Tubo must have noticed it, and they feel uneasy." ”

Then Li Zhi continued: "Especially Lu Dongzan passed away, his son Zan Xiruo inherited the position of prime minister, I heard that before the succession, the Tubo court had a battle between the open and the dark, the process was very fierce, according to the hundred cavalry spies of the scout, this battle between the old and the new, many people died in the court......

"Later, Yomozan Xiruo reached a consensus with Mangsong Mangtsen, the grandson of Songtsen Gampo, and made compromises with each other, so that the situation in the Tubo court could be considered stable, and Zanxiruo successfully succeeded to the position of prime minister."

Li Qinzai frowned and said: "As soon as he succeeded to the prime minister, he couldn't wait to send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and praised that if he had his purpose, the minister guessed that his biggest purpose was to rebuild the old friendship with the Tang Dynasty, and to dismiss the army, and he needed time to consolidate his position." ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "That's right, I guess he also has this purpose." ”

Then Li Zhi continued: "At the same time, he is also afraid that after the Tang Dynasty pacifies the Haidong Peninsula, it will turn around and raise troops against Tubo. ”

"Today's Tang Dynasty royal division, with sharp firearms, the soldiers can be described as invincible in the world, Tubo suffered a big loss in Tuyuhun back then, presumably the other country has palpitations, from the offensive and defensive situation, Tubo has to take a defensive position at the moment......"

"And the Tang Dynasty in the southwest, has completely grasped the initiative, Zan Xiruo was afraid that the Tang Dynasty would do something to Tubo, so not only took the initiative to come to Chang'an to congratulate, but also came in a very hurry, which shows how urgent its desire to seek peace and stop the war is."

Li Qinzai looked at Li Zhi and said in a low voice: "Now that Datang has the initiative, what does Your Majesty mean?" ”

Li Zhi pondered for a long time, and said hesitantly: "According to Jing Chu's opinion, after Wang Shi pacified Haidong, should he pacify Tubo?" ”

Li Qinzai sighed: "From the perspective of the century-old strategy, Tubo must be flat, otherwise when we focus on the end of the sea in the east, if Tubo stabs us in the back, it will be a big mess." ”

"In the view of taking precautions, it is better for us to start to level Tubo first, and from then on, Datang will no longer have trouble with his abdomen and back, and he can go east with peace of mind and look for new land."

Li Zhi's eyes showed brilliance: "What does Jing Chu mean, is it possible to raise troops against Tubo?" ”

No wonder Li Zhi was excited, Tubo, like Goguryeo, was also a confidant of the Tang Dynasty for decades.

If during the reign of Li Zhi, not only the Haidong Peninsula was leveled, but also Tubo was leveled, then his reputation in the history books would have surpassed Li Shimin in the name.
