Chapter 778: Princess Zhenzhu's Letter
Li Yong couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
"Our soldiers in Datang are all hot-blooded men! Guess who I met when I entered the city today? ”
Cheng Yanjin and the others couldn't help scratching their heads when they heard this, and they had no clue to guess at all, who could make Li Yong say it so surprised? Even Li Jing and Xu Shiji had no clue and had doubts on their faces, Cheng Biting Jin scratched his head and said.
"It can't be that I met Zhang Liang, right?"
Xu Shiji and the others couldn't help crying and laughing when they heard it.
"You old thing, can you joke about this?"
Cheng Yanjin was a little embarrassed even if he was thick-skinned, and coughed dryly, not having a good airway.
"Li Yong, you kid too, can't you just say who you meet? Do you have to sell it? ”
Wei Chigong also hurriedly asked.
"Who the hell surprised you so much? You're going to say it, you're really dying! ”
Li Yong didn't have a good airway.
"I want to say it quickly, you are saying one sentence after another, how can I have a chance? Originally, I didn't want to sell Guanzi. When I entered the city, I met the envoys of Tibet. ”
Cheng Yanjin exclaimed when he heard this.
"What? An envoy of Tibet? Tubo still dares to send people to the Tang Dynasty? I'm impatient, aren't you? The old man is going to chop them up! ”
Wei Chigong nodded.
"That's right, I chopped them directly, and then killed them directly in Tubo, and chopped up all the Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan!"
Xu Shiji shook his head slightly.
"Okay, you two will stop, if the two countries are at war, we are a country of etiquette, and we can't lose the bearing of a great country."
Li Jing said with some doubts.
"We also relied on an eight-hundred-mile rush to know the result of the battle of Wuhai, how could Tubo send an envoy to Chang'an so quickly? Could it be that Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan can still be pinched? ”
Cheng Yanjin and the others were stunned when they heard this, and they also looked puzzled.
"Yes, can the Tubo people still pinch it?"
Li Yong explained with a smile.
"What can be pinched, they were sent by Songtsen Gampo to congratulate the Tang Dynasty on the destruction of Goguryeo, of course, they will not be so kind, the main thing is to avoid the Tang Dynasty's big move."
It turns out that this is the case, Xu Shiji said with a smile.
"As a result, they haven't arrived in Chang'an yet, but they found out that we have sent troops."
Cheng Yanjin snorted.
"Now that the Tibetans have won the battle, they have come running again, what do you mean? Do you want to show off your might? Do you really think that they are Tubo people again? ”
Wei Chigong snorted.
"Are they here to provoke? Even if we don't have to provoke, we will send troops to fight them, and the Tubo people will throw away their armor! ”
Li Yong said with a smile.
"It's not a provocation, they're here to make peace."
Xu Shiji groaned.
"Summation? Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan are worthy of a generation of heroes, they were not carried away by a momentary victory, no matter how strong Tubo is, it can't compare to our Tang Dynasty, if they continue to fight, they won't be able to get good fruits to eat, they will only fall into the quagmire of war, so they want to digest the fat in their mouths first, and then continue to eat fat! ”
Li Xiaogong laughed.
"It's pretty beautiful, and you thought that a lucky win would scare us? It's too whimsical! ”
Li Jing is not worried that the emperor will agree to sue for peace, because they know what kind of character the emperor is, not to mention that Tubo has occupied Tuyuhun and it is impossible to spit it out again, even if Tubo really sacrifices Tuyuhun to sue for peace, the emperor will not be able to agree, because what the emperor wants now is not only Tuyuhun, but also revenge, this battle is unavoidable, just when Li Yong and they were talking about the Tubo envoys in the Yamen of the military department, the news that the Tubo envoys came to the Tang Dynasty also spread quickly in Chang'an City. The people who first heard the news couldn't help but be stunned, the Tibetan envoys still dared to come to the Tang Dynasty? Should we praise the Tibetan people for their courage or lack of heart? Or did the Tibetans really think they were invincible because they won a battle by luck? The Tibetan envoy came all the way to the front of the Sifang Pavilion and said in a deep voice.
"We are the envoys of Tubo, and we are sent to the Tang Dynasty on the orders of our Zanpu, as envoys of a country, we should live in the Sifang Pavilion!"
Envoys from all over the world can indeed stay in the Sifang Pavilion, but the Ministry of Rites has made arrangements in advance, because the envoys from various countries will identify themselves when they enter the Tang Dynasty, so the soldiers of the Sifang Pavilion were very surprised when they heard it, why did the envoys of Tubo suddenly appear? If it is an envoy from another country, they will be accommodating, anyway, the envoys of various countries will definitely stay in the Sifang Pavilion, but this is the envoy of Tubo, if you want to say that the people of Chang'an are the least to see anyone now, it must be the Tubo people, so the soldier immediately waved the spear in his hand, and the two spears crossed in front of a group of Tubo envoys.
"You can't come in!"
"We are envoys, why can't we enter?" The Tibetan envoy was a little dissatisfied.
"Because we haven't heard of any Tibetan envoys coming!" The soldier said confidently.
The Tibetan envoy said in a deep voice.
"We really didn't report it to the Tang Rites Department in advance, but we are the envoys of Tubo, and according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, we have the right to stay in the Sifang Pavilion!"
"I'm really sorry, we haven't heard of any Tibetan envoys coming."
The soldiers still refused justifiably, although they knew that in the end, the Tibetan envoys would still stay in the Sifang Pavilion, but they felt very cool if they could make it difficult for the Tibetan envoys, and the Tibetan envoys also understood that the guards guarding the door were deliberately making things difficult for them, so their faces were also very ugly, but they also understood that this was just because they won the Tang Dynasty, so thinking about it, they were a little refreshed in their hearts, but it was not a good thing to be stopped outside to make things difficult after all, and the Tibetan envoys said in a deep voice.
"It's the Sifang Pavilion that the Duke of Rongfu County asked us to come to, do you dare to stop it? Do you dare to disobey the orders of the prince of Rongfu? ”
Hearing that the Tubo people moved out of Rongfu County, the soldiers guarding the door couldn't help but be shocked, because the weight of the three words Rongfu County Gong was too heavy, just when the three of them didn't know what to do, the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette came on horseback and said in a deep voice.
"Since they are envoys of Tibet, let them in!"
Seeing this, the Tibetan envoy breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then learned the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty.
"My lord, we are here on the orders of Zanpu and Daxiang, asking to see the sage of the Tang Emperor, we have something important to do here, and we ask your Excellency to pass it on your behalf."
The official of the Ministry of Rites said in a deep voice with a straight face, looking like a businessman.
"The official will report to the saint, as for whether the saint will see you, when he will see you, then the official doesn't know, and, the city of Chang'an has not been peaceful recently, I advise you to try not to go out of the Sifang Pavilion if you have nothing to do, otherwise something will happen, don't blame us Datang for not treating each other politely!"
The people in the Sifang Pavilion can be said to ignore the Tubo people, and they look like they are left to fend for themselves, and they are already extraordinarily generous without making the means difficult, in fact, not only the Tang people don't care much about the Tubo people, even the envoys of other countries in the Sifang Pavilion also ignore the Tubo people, and even when they see the Tubo people, they can't wait to hide far away, although they also know that the Tubo people won the Tang Dynasty in Tuyuhun, but so what? The Turks once hit the banks of the Weishui River? Now that the Turkic grave grass is taller, Gao Changguo is happier than anyone else, and now the grave grass is also tall, Tugu is dragging it, right? The grave grass can be Tibetan, the original battle of Songzhou, Tubo was beaten by Li Yong and others like Sun Tzu's, now that Tubo has won this battle, what can it do? It was only Zhang Liang who won the battle in Tubo, although Zhang Liang is also a national prince, but he is always behind in the middle of the DPRK, do you win Li Jing in Tubo? Did you win Xu Shiji? Did Cheng bite Jin, Yu Chigong, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, and Duan Zhixuan? Do you have the artillery muskets of the Shenji Battalion that you are carrying? Therefore, they feel that Tubo is going farther and farther on the road of death, of course they have to hide far away, in case they are misunderstood by the Tang Emperor, they are likely to be gone, the news that the Tibetan envoys came to Chang'an is still spreading rapidly in the city, causing countless people to be indignant, because they feel that the Tubo people come to Chang'an to show off their might, if the Tang Dynasty really can't beat Tubo, then it's fine, but Tubo is just a fluke win, what is there to show off? Many people ran to the Sifang Pavilion to verify, and even Chang'an rangers came to the Sifang Pavilion to threaten to compete with the Tubo people, but also because the people on the street cheered loudly, in the palace, Li Er was seriously looking at the military department and the household department, and there was an inner servant who said softly.
"Enlightened saint, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites asks to see you."
Li Er was a little surprised when he heard this, in the past two days, he has been busy with the transfer of troops because of the army, and most of the military department, household department, and engineering department are busy in the DPRK and China, what is the Ministry of Rites mixed with at this time?
"Announce him in!"
Li Er said lightly, still looking at the performance of the military department seriously.
"Greetings to the saints."
The left attendant of the Ministry of Rites saluted him.
"What's the matter with Aiqing?"
Li Ertou asked without raising his head.
"Qiqi Sage, the Tibetan envoy suddenly came to Chang'an, and now he has stayed in the Sifang Pavilion."
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites said respectfully.
Tibetan envoys? Li Eryi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and finally put down the music in his hand, raised his head and said in a deep voice.
"How could the Tibetan envoy come so soon?"
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites said respectfully.
"This minister doesn't know that the Tibetan envoy wants to ask to see the saint and congratulate the saint on his destruction of Goguryeo."
"Congratulations on the destruction of Goguryeo? I'm afraid I'm here to show off my might, right? ”
Li Er's eyes were like knives and he sneered.
"Since the Tibetan envoy asked to see so-and-so, let him see him! Tomorrow is the Great Pilgrimage, so let them come directly to the Imperial Court to meet the driver! ”
He wouldn't believe that the envoys of Tibet came to congratulate him on his capture of Goguryeo, how could the Tibetans be so kind? Tubo is not a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, so the envoys of Tubo must have come for another reason this time, no matter what the reason, he continued, even if Tubo wanted to show off his might in front of him, he continued, and it could be regarded as a spur to himself, so he wanted to meet with the envoys of Tubo, and he also had to meet at the great court meeting, so that all the courtiers could see the appearance of Tubo showing off his might, so that all the courtiers were spurred, the Sifang Pavilion, the Tubo envoys felt that the Tang Emperor could not receive them so soon, Because the emperor must still be in anger now, so they still want to take a look at the prosperous Chang'an first, although they feel that compared to the military strength, their Tubo is not inferior to the Tang Dynasty, but they also have to admit that the Tang Dynasty is much more prosperous and rich than their Tubo, but when they see the crowd outside the Sifang Pavilion, they can't help but hesitate, if they leave the Sifang Pavilion at this time, they will not really be killed, right? Although they are conceited and very brave, but two fists are invincible to four hands, there are too many people outside, one person can drown them with a mouthful of spit, and in the end they are still cowardly, they came with the entrustment of Zampu and Daxiang, how can they bury their lives here for no reason? Just as they were walking back in a gray manner, the officials of the Ministry of Rites walked over quickly.
"Don't you want to meet the saints? Tomorrow is the Great Pilgrimage, and you can meet the saints at the Great Pilgrimage. ”
The Tibetan envoys were pleasantly surprised when they heard this, they thought that the Tang Emperor would not receive them soon, but they didn't expect the Tang Emperor to receive them so quickly, which was really surprising!
However, this is a good thing for them after all, what they are most afraid of is that the Tang Emperor has been refusing to meet them, and has been leaving them aside, so that they will not be able to complete the task assigned to them by Zampu and the Prime Minister, originally they also wanted to ask for help from the Rongfu County Duke according to the opportunity granted by Zampu and the Prime Minister, but they didn't expect that they didn't need it at all, Li Yong didn't know that the Tubo envoy had been thinking about him, and he immediately remembered what the Tubo envoy said after returning to the Xishan Courtyard.
"Did a Tibetan person come today?"
Li Yong asked, and the housekeeper nodded hurriedly.
"Back to Grandpa, there are Tubo people who have come, saying that it is a gift that Princess Zhenzhu asked them to bring, and Grandpa was not in the house at that time, and the princess has already let people accept it, Grandpa, it should be okay, right?"
Looking at the housekeeper's worried look, Li Yong smiled.
"It's nothing, Princess Zhenzhu and Changle are good friends, and the saint and the queen mother and even the ministers of the court know that although the Tang Dynasty and Tubo are at war, it is nothing for women to give each other some gifts."
Having said that, Li Yong also had to admit that the timing of Princess Zhenzhu's gift was really unfortunate.
"I heard that Princess Zhenzhu sent some gifts?"
Li Yong came to the upper room and asked with a smile.
"Well, I brought some highland specialties, and a letter for you!"
Li Li said with a smile.
"For me?"
Li Yong was very surprised to hear it, since Princess Zhenzhu returned to Tubo, there has been no shortage of letters, but he has not made a special trip to write a letter to him, and what he has to say is mixed with Changle's letter, Li Yong took the letter with some doubts, and then hesitated for a moment and opened it directly in front of them and pulled it out, Li Lizhen, Wu Cao, Zheng Liwan They all looked at the letter in Li Yong's hand with some curiosity, although they were curious, they didn't open it before, and now they didn't come up to see it, Li Yong looked at it and suddenly frowned.
