Chapter 780: United
The Tibetan envoy's face eased a lot when he heard this, although what the emperor said was quite perfunctory, but at least it also gave them the face of Tibet, although the Tibetan envoy was also very angry in his heart, but when he thought of the task he was carrying, he felt that he still had to go down the steps.
"It turned out to be Lu Guogong, presumably Lu Guogong was also unintentional."
The Tibetan envoy said in a deep voice, and Li Yong smiled.
"Lao Cheng, this is your fault, as the saying goes, you don't hit people in the face, you don't scold people and don't expose your shortcomings, it's a bit unauthentic for you to do this."
Cheng Biting Jin and the other ministers couldn't help laughing after hearing this, even Li Er couldn't help laughing, although Li Yong seemed to be a peacemaker, he was actually affirming Cheng Biting Jin's scolding words, and the Tubo envoys came up again with anger when they heard this, what does this mean? Isn't this still scolding them for Zampu being a cousin? What made it even more difficult for the Tibetan envoys to accept was that the person who said this turned out to be Li Yong, the prince of Rongfu County, and the Tibetan envoys were dissatisfied.
"How can the prince of Rongfu say that? We sent gifts and letters on behalf of our princess, as the saying goes, don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, Rongfu County Gong said this is a bit unauthentic, right? ”
The ministers couldn't help but look at Li Yong when they heard this, and the Tibetan envoys actually went to Li Yong's mansion to give gifts? Is this trying to buy Li Yong? Songtsen Gampo is probably crazy, right? Li Er was not shocked when he heard this, he was not afraid that Li Yong would be bribed at all, because Li Yong donated millions of yuan casually, how many yuan did he have to take out to buy Li Yong? 5 million or 10 million? Even if Songtsen Gampo smashes the pot and sells iron, can he make up 10 million yuan? Not to mention Songtsan Gampo, even he is a dignified Tang Emperor who can't come up with so much money, so Li Er is very relieved, and never suspects that Li Yong will be bought, Li Yong said with a smile.
"You don't mention that I'm not angry, speaking of which, I and Princess Zhenzhu are also old friends, Changle and Zhenzhu are also very good, Changle and Zhenzhu have not communicated in the past two years, but, I have never received a letter from Zhenzhu, and then, yesterday your Tubo people suddenly sent a letter, it is a letter from Princess Zhenzhu, not for Changle, but for me, which makes me and Changle feel very surprised! But what about this letter, there was something wrong with it if you looked closely, so Changle took out the letter sent by Princess Zhenzhu before and compared it, and found that this letter was not Princess Zhenzhu's handwriting at all, but someone imitated it. ”
The ministers couldn't help but be in an uproar when they heard this, and they even asked people to write a letter to Li Yong in the handwriting of the princess, who did this? Who else could there be? Songtsen Gampo, of course.
"Shameless!"
"yes, it's shameless!"
"How can you be so shameless?"
When the Tibetan envoy heard this, his face immediately turned red and he said loudly.
"Rongfu Jungong, don't spew blood, it was handed over to me by the princess's maid herself, how can it be fake?"
Li Er said with a smile.
"It's not fake and don't say, I'm curious about what is written in the letter."
All the ministers immediately pricked up their ears, they were also full of curiosity about this, the gossip fire in the hearts of the big men in the DPRK and China was simply burning, not inferior to the old ladies in the market at all, Li Yong said with a smile.
"Nothing else, the letter said that I would advise His Majesty the Emperor not to send troops."
The Tibetan envoys breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, in fact, they didn't know whether the letter was written by the princess, and they didn't know what was written in the letter, it turned out to be the same purpose as them! It's all to stop the Tang Dynasty from continuing to increase troops, but then he couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in his heart, the Duke of Rongfu actually said it directly in front of the emperor and a group of ministers, doesn't that mean that the Duke of Rongfu has no intention of helping to stop the emperor from increasing troops at all? The ministers couldn't help laughing when they heard this, they understood that since Li Yong said this calmly, it meant that Li Yong didn't want to stop the emperor from increasing his troops at all, and they felt that even if Li Yong wanted to stop the emperor from increasing his troops, he couldn't do it.
"Don't hide it from His Majesty the Emperor, the foreign minister's envoy to the Tang Dynasty this time, one is to congratulate His Majesty the Emperor on the destruction of Goguryeo, and the other is to bring peace between the two countries, our Zampu once sincerely asked His Majesty the Emperor to marry the princess, although His Majesty the Emperor finally refused, but we Zampu have always admired the Tang Dynasty and want to make peace with the Tang Dynasty forever!"
Li Er sneered.
"A certain did refuse Songtsen Gampo's request to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but a certain opened the mutual market with Tubo, and a certain also hoped that there would be eternal peace between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, but you Tubo brazenly invaded Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun is a certain subject country, do you Tubo people still have the Tang Dynasty in their eyes? Is there still a certain day Khan? Tuyuhun is the land that has been beaten down, and Tuyuhun will never give up, either your Tubo soldiers and horses will withdraw from Tuyuhun and promise not to enter Tuyuhun again, or Tuyuhun will be recaptured with a knife and a gun! ”
The Tibetan envoy said in a deep voice.
"We Zampu have always admired the Tian Khan, and have no intention of having another dispute with the Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun is not the land of the Tang Dynasty since ancient times, Tuyuhun is closely connected with our Tubo, the people of Tuyuhun and the people of our Tubo are like a family, so we Tubo will never give up Tuyuhun, such as today, the place and the people are in our Tubo, if His Majesty the Emperor wants to increase the army, he will only repeat the mistakes of the past, and please His Majesty the Emperor must think twice! We Zampu really don't want to see the bloody battlefield of the Tang Dynasty, let alone see the people of the two countries fighting each other, and we don't want to see the people of Tuyuhun experience the suffering of war again, His Majesty the Emperor is a heavenly khan, broad-minded, benevolent and loving the people, and I hope that His Majesty the Emperor will look at the people of the Tang Dynasty, for the sake of the people of Tuyuhun, for the sake of the people of the world, and don't increase the army! As long as His Majesty the Emperor does not increase his troops, then our Tubo is willing to serve the Tang Dynasty as the kingdom of Heaven and never invade the Tang Dynasty, and if His Majesty the Emperor increases the troops, then there will be no peace in our Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, our Tubo is located on the plateau, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and our Tubo people come and go like the wind. ”
On the way to come, the Tibetan envoys don't know how many times to think about how to persuade the Tang Emperor not to increase troops, so, this rhetoric, he doesn't know how many times along the way, so he said it freely, it can be described as impassioned, hearty, this rhetoric is known to reason, moving with emotion, both persuasion, and threat, rigid but not hard, not humble or arrogant, the Tibetan envoys think that this rhetoric can be called perfect, if this can not persuade the Tang Emperor and a group of ministers, then who else can persuade? So after finishing speaking, he stood there with a confident smile, and the whole hall was silent, and all the ministers had only one thought in their hearts, look, he really threatened His Majesty the Emperor! He really threatened His Majesty the Emperor! Is His Majesty the Emperor a person who is afraid of being threatened? Originally, His Majesty the Emperor was bent on sending troops, but now that he is threatened by the Tibetan envoys, he will only send more troops, and the threat will only backfire! Li Yong couldn't help but be happy when he heard it, the Tibetan envoys successfully showed what it means to lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot, and now that Li Er has been completely ignited, no one can stop Li Er from increasing his troops Tuguhun! Even if the eldest grandson queen blows the pillow wind at the most critical time in the night, it is useless, however, the Tubo envoys feel the silence in this hall, but their hearts are more and more proud, look, the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers were all calmed by his wisdom and impassioned eloquence, Li Er was directly pleased by the words of the Tubo envoys.
"Are you Tibetans threatening so-and-so?"
The Tibetan envoys were a little reserved.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, this is not a threat, the foreign ministers are just reasoning with the facts, His Majesty the Emperor is wise and martial, all the ministers are virtuous ministers and good generals, and they will definitely be able to think through when they think about it."
Du Ru said in a deep voice.
"In the battle of Wuhai, our Tang Dynasty was defeated, and the soldiers were defeated, but victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, but I didn't expect that you Tubo just won a battle and the tail was raised to the sky."
Li Xiaogong sneered.
"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, I don't know how many wars I have experienced, sweeping the world, invincible, you Tubo is just a small victory, and you are arrogant, I really don't know what to do!"
Tubo bowed slightly.
"It's not that we are arrogant in Tibet, the Tang Dynasty is indeed very powerful, and there are magic weapons, and the siege of the city is unparalleled in the world, however, the northwest terrain is completely different from the Central Plains, we Tubo people are used to fighting on the plateau, so they have the advantage, the foreign minister was ordered to send the Tang Dynasty this time, it is really for the peace of the two countries, and I sincerely hope that the two countries can think about the people, swords and soldiers into the warehouse, and live in harmony."
Li Yong shook his head and said.
"If you Tubo really want to coexist peacefully, then you won't send troops to capture Tuyuhun, now it's just cheap and good, who doesn't know your little abacus in Zampu? We Datang also want to coexist peacefully, but peaceful coexistence is not a concession, but a fight, only if you Tubo is convinced, and you no longer dare to send troops, Datang and Tubo will really coexist peacefully. ”
Li Er couldn't help but laugh approvingly when he heard it.
"Li Yong is right, only if you Tubo are convinced, and you don't dare to send troops again, will Datang and Tubo really coexist peacefully!"
The Tibetan envoy couldn't help but change his face slightly when he heard this, how different was this from what he expected! The rhetoric he had carefully prepared all the way didn't work? Why can't the Tang Dynasty monarchs understand such a reasoned and well-founded rhetoric? The Tibetan envoy said in a deep voice.
"Datang insists on increasing its troops, isn't it afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past? Moreover, if His Majesty the Emperor insists on increasing the number of troops, it will only make the enmity between the two countries deeper. ”
Li Er said in a deep voice.
"A certain increase in troops is to solve the grudge, the Tibetan envoys don't need to say more, go back and tell you Zanpu, just fight in a dignified manner!"
The Tibetan envoy chuckled in his heart when he heard this, and hurriedly said.
"Isn't His Majesty the Emperor going to think twice about it?"
Li Er said in a deep voice.
"I might as well tell you, a certain has already decided to increase the army, the imperial court is already mobilizing grain and grass, and drawing a large army, whether your envoys come or not, whether you Zampu want to fight or not, as long as you Tubo does not return to the plateau, this war is inevitable! In fact, I don't want you Tubo people to take the initiative to retreat to the plateau, because I want to drive you back to the plateau with knives and guns, and I want to avenge the shame of the soldiers who buried their bones in the sea! ”
The Tibetan envoy's face completely collapsed when he heard this, in fact, before he came, they Zampu told him that this trip would be very difficult, because the Tang Emperor was very proud and strong, and he might not be able to persuade the Tang Emperor to strike a truce, but he was very confident that he would be able to persuade the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers to strike a truce, however, his carefully prepared rhetoric did not play any role at all, which made him very disappointed, and he couldn't help but sigh in addition to the disappointment, in the end, it was still Zampu and the Great Minister! Since this battle is unavoidable, and the Tang Dynasty has begun to dispatch troops, it means that his mission has completely failed, and regret is regret, but the Tibetan envoy still straightened his waist, and the mission of the envoy has failed, but the glory and dignity of Tubo cannot be lost, and the Tibetan envoy said in a deep voice.
"We came with a vision of peace and sincerity, but His Majesty the Emperor and the ministers ignored it and insisted on going their own way, then we in Tubo are waiting for the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty in Tuyuhun, I only hope that His Majesty the Emperor and the ministers will not regret it in the future."
Li Er snorted.
"I have never regretted it in this life, not now, not in the future, the Tibetan envoys should retreat!"
"The minister retires!"
The ministers saw that the Tibetan envoys had no choice but to see the courtesy, and immediately saluted and retreated, and the ministers saw the Tibetan envoys leave, their eyes were full of unkindness, and the hall was quiet again, and Li Er said in a deep voice.
"I knew that the Tibetan envoy must be here to show off his might, but I didn't expect that the Tibetan envoy would dare to threaten it! I never thought that in this world, there would be people who dared to threaten so-and-so! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said respectfully.
"Tubo is located on the plateau, like a frog sitting in a well and watching the sky, which is why it is so arrogant."
Li Yong groaned.
"The last defeat of Wuhai did give Tubo great courage, if you can't beat Tubo to be afraid, I'm afraid that Longyou and Jiannandao will not be at peace in the future."
Wei Chigong shouted.
"When the soldiers come, they will block the water and cover the earth, what are you afraid of him doing? Let's fight once at a time, they don't have many people in Tibet, see how many people they can send to death! ”
It's just that being beaten passively is not Li Er's style, Li Er said in a deep voice.
"So this expedition is very burdensome, not only to defeat the Tubo, but also to hit the Tubo people hard!"
It is not difficult to defeat the Tibetans, but it is not easy to inflict heavy losses on the Tibetans, because the Tibetans are familiar with the terrain of the plateau, which comes and goes like the wind, and once they are frustrated, they can retreat to the plateau, so how to inflict heavy losses on the Tibetans has to be carefully planned.
"What else do you have to play?"
Li Er asked in a deep voice, because the Tibetan envoys showed off their might in the court, so the ministers were very indignant in their hearts, and they came out to offer advice and advice, and for a while the hall suddenly became lively, looking at the scene of the ministers uniting to support the troops, Li Er was very pleased.
