The Ming Dynasty, Sun Moon Mountain.

As soon as the Spring Festival ended, everyone in the Ming Dynasty returned to their jobs one after another.

The sound of banging and banging can be heard in the workshop every day, and the sound of bargaining in the shop is endless, and there are bursts of laughter and laughter in the school from time to time, even in Daming Hospital, there are stories of mixed joy and sorrow.

"Your Highness, Wang Shilang and Ma Ye are back." At the end of the first month, when Li Chengqian was studying the ratio of gunpowder as a supervisor, Wei Chi Baolin pushed the door in.

"Coming back?" When Li Chengqian heard this, he raised his head and said, "Let them wait in the main hall first, this king wants to see what the hell this Subi is doing." ”

After that, Li Chengqian got up and took off the gloves in his hand, and the blacksmith and Zhang Erniu on the other side said, "You have to do a few more tests, the raw materials are probably these, but the specific ratio, we have to try more, since Datang has come ahead of us in this regard, then we naturally can't fall behind." ”

Li Chengqian still couldn't trust others after all, and finally handed over the gunpowder matter to Fang Blacksmith and Zhang Erniu.

Of course, as he said, this is actually not difficult, it is nothing more than the proportion of proportions, and two more experiments will always produce results.

"Leave this matter to us, Your Highness can rest assured." Zhang Erniu bowed down and said.

He knew the importance of this gunpowder, and it was a supreme trust that His Highness could hand it over to them.

Of course, they also have supreme trust in Li Chengqian, since Li Chengqian said that this formula is no problem, then there must be no problem, in the final analysis, it is just terrazzo kung fu, this little thing, they can still do it.

Li Chengqian nodded, then turned to leave.

As the king of the Ming Dynasty, he can't do everything himself.

When he returned to Daming Palace, Wang Xuance and Ma Ye and his party were waiting outside the Qunying Palace, Li Chengqian beckoned, and Liu San immediately stepped forward to arrange for people other than Wang Xuance and Ma Ye to go to the meal first.

After they left, Li Chengqian asked as he walked, "What is the situation with Subi?" ”

"Back to Your Highness." Wang Xuance immediately said, "According to the information we have, Subi may have been given a yin by Tubo. ”

Was given a yin by Tubo?

Li Chengqian smiled: "Let's talk about it specifically." ”

Wang Xuance immediately detailed what they had learned.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he was immediately happy.

"Not to mention, there is indeed something in this Tibet." After listening to Wang Xuance's story, Li Chengqian said with a smile, "At that time, if the Qibi Shamen was not handled properly, even if the relationship between us and Subi did not break up, there would be gaps in a short period of time, and there would be big troubles on our border." ”

"Who's to say it's not." Wang Xuance said, "Tubo dragged Subi with his life, just to let Subi take care of himself, if my Ming soldiers came out of Subi at that time, it is not possible for Subi to really be in danger of losing the country, at that time, I may have a single face to Tubo."

And if Tubo annexes Subi, it will definitely set its sights on my Daming, which is easy to calculate. ”

"It's a good calculation." Li Chengqian pondered carefully, nodded his head, and said, "Tubo already has the advantage of terrain, if this is the case, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be stable in the south of the Ming Dynasty." ”

As a later generation, Li Chengqian naturally knew what Tubo's biggest advantage was, and if he really wanted Tubo to annex Subi, the Ming Dynasty really had a vicious battle to fight.

After all, Tubo is condescending, and although the terrain of the Ming Dynasty is not low, it is not so easy to fight up and adapt to the climate at their altitude.

"What did Mangbo Jie Sunbo say?" Li Chengqian asked.

"According to the meaning of King Subi......," Wang Xuance said, "The Subi army that invaded my Ming Dynasty, he is afraid that he can't take care of it now, he means that he hopes that my Ming Dynasty can send troops to help them clear the king's side." ”

"Qingjun's side?" Li Chengqian was a little stunned, and only said after a long time, "The situation in Subi is already so tense?" ”

"Your Highness doesn't know." Ma Ye said on the side, "This time Tubo is almost pouring out, and Tubo is already powerful, if it weren't for the support of my Ming ordnance, Su Bi would have been unable to support it a long time ago."

Even so, Subi is just struggling to support, don't look at their evenly matched, in fact, if you really want to talk about it, they have long been at the end of the crossbow. ”

Hearing Ma Ye say this, Li Chengqian also nodded.

The country of Subi was only heard of after he had traveled, and in his memory, there was actually no such country, so it was true that this country did not stir up much trouble in history.

After chatting for a while, Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "You go down to rest first, as for the matter of sending troops, this king will have to add up again." ”

"The ministers are leaving." Wang Xuance and Ma Ye immediately bowed and left.

After they left, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Tubo, Songtsan Ganbu?" Are you forcing this king to do something to Tubo earlier? ”

In fact, he didn't want to make a move on Tubo so early, in his original plan, he hoped that Subi would always consume Tubo's strength, and then he would come back to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

After all, Tubo has the advantage of terrain, even if Li Er has no way to take Tubo all his life, he doesn't want to follow in Li Er's footsteps.

"Your Highness, Murong Xiaoyong, the head of the Criminal Department, asks to see you." Just then, a guard came in and said.

Li Chengqian was stunned when he heard this, this guy asked to see him at this time? Could it be that the murderer who robbed the children of Sun Moon Mountain was caught?

Nodding, after a while, Murong Xiaoyong strode in, bowed and said, "Weichen Murong Xiaoyong, see Your Highness." ”

"But the murderer of the child has been caught?" Li Chengqian asked directly.

Murong Xiaoyong said: "Back to Your Highness, the murderer hasn't been caught yet, but it's a little tricky now." ”

"Tricky?" Li Chengqian frowned, "Could it be that the identity of the murderer is not ordinary?" Or is there any collusion between the murderer and my Ming officials? ”

Murong Xiaoyong obviously heard the anger in Li Chengqian's words, and even said: "For the time being, I haven't found out that there is any collusion with my Ming officials, but these children have now appeared in the court of the Great Zhao Dynasty." ”

"Da Zhao Wangting, Li Yuanjing?" When Li Chengqian heard this answer, he was immediately stunned, "He is so daring, dare to come to my Sun Moon Mountain to rob young children!" Do you really think that this king will not dare to do anything to him? ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian shook his head.

"That's not right, what did Li Yuanjing do to rob young children? As far as this king knows, although Li Yuanjing has no great talent, he also does not have these strange habits. ”

"That...... Your Highness ......" Murong Xiaoyong glanced at Li Chengqian cautiously, and then said, "Among the lost young children, one of them is from the Pu clan, and I heard that he is still the grandson of Pu Shangshu. ”

Pucciru's grandson?

When Li Chengqian heard this, he understood what Murong Xiaoyong meant.

"Are you saying that Li Yuanjing's purpose this time is actually just the grandson of Pu Shangshu, and he wants to use this to blackmail Pu Shangshu?"

Not to mention, this possibility is really possible, after all, today's Puxiru is definitely a big man in the Ming Dynasty, especially his main household, which can indeed play a decisive role in some aspects.

"It's not impossible." Murong Xiaoyong said, "Otherwise, Weichen really doesn't understand what the purpose of the Great Zhao Wangting is doing this?"

Moreover, since Pu Shangshu's grandson was taken away, there has been no disappearance of young children in Sun Moon Mountain, no matter how this looks, it is like a smoke bomb from the other party, and their purpose may be just to kidnap Pu Shangshu's grandson.

It's just that we don't perceive their purpose. ”

Li Chengqian nodded, not to mention, Murong Xiaoyong's analysis was quite in place.

"Then have you gone to Pu Shangshu to find out?" Li Chengqian asked.

Murong Xiaoyong shook his head and said, "The stakes are very high, after Weichen learned about it, he entered the palace as soon as possible." ”

"You go down first." When Li Chengqian heard this, he said, "Continue to follow up on this line." ”

He is still satisfied with Murong Xiaoyong's performance.

After Murong Xiaoyong left, Li Chengqian immediately found Wu An.

"Lately, has there been anything unusual about Platts?"

As soon as he heard Li Chengqian ask, Wu An was immediately stunned.

"Back to Your Highness, I haven't noticed anything unusual for the time being."

"Are there any strange people who have come into contact with Platts?" Li Chengqian continued to ask.

Even if Psychiro's grandson is lost, he still can't accept it if Psyro is threatened to betray him.

"There are more people who have come into contact with Platts." Wu An said, "After all, Platts is no longer what it used to be, and there are even more people who climb dragons and phoenixes. ”

"What's wrong with Pu Shangshu lately?" Li Chengqian asked again.

"There's nothing out of the ordinary." Wu An said, "Of course, the specific needs to be further investigated. ”

Nowadays, the intelligence agencies of the secret spy department dare not say that they are all over the world, but it is absolute that they are all over the Ming Dynasty, as long as they are within the scope of the Ming Dynasty, a little bigger things can hardly be hidden from the secret spy department.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he told him about the abduction of Puxi's grandson, and said: "Pu Shangshu is my important minister of the Ming Dynasty, and there are thieves who dare to kidnap his grandson, which is simply provoking the majesty of my Ming Dynasty!"

Although Pu Shangshu did not ask the king for help, as the king of the Ming Dynasty, it is the responsibility of the king to protect every Ming people!

Wu An, you quickly send someone to the court of the Great Zhao Dynasty, and be sure to rescue Pu Shangshu's grandson and other young children! ”

"Wechen takes orders." As soon as Wu An heard this, he understood.

Although Li Chengqian did not say it explicitly, this time it was not simply to rescue those children.

After Wu An left, Li Chengqian said to himself: "Puxiruo, you must not let this king down. ”

It's not that he has the heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman, the dignified and dignified Hubu Shangshu, his grandson has been captive for so long, and he hasn't done anything, if it weren't for Murong Xiaoyong, Li Chengqian wouldn't even know now.

He couldn't help but doubt it.

As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons.

"Liu San, notify me, three days later, the Great Dynasty! Officials above the seventh rank in the DPRK must go to the court! After pondering for a moment, Li Chengqian said.

Liu San was also stunned when he heard this, the Ming Dynasty did not have the habit of a dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty had been founded for more than two years, and it seemed that he had not opened a few dynasties.

……

In the royal palace of Tibet, Luo, and Songtsen Gampo.

Songtsen Gampo, who is about seventeen or eighteen years old, looks more mature than Li Chengqian.

Perhaps because of the climate, although Songtsen Gampo was actually only seventeen or eighteen years old, he looked much older.

In the main hall, his uncle Lun Keer and the prime minister Shang Nang sat on both sides, and Lu Dongzan, who was still a fledgling, stood in the middle of several people.

"Some time ago, a report came from the army, saying that it was this large-scale attack, and my Tubo warriors suffered heavy casualties, what do you think?" Songtsen Gampo put down the letter in his hand and asked.

"It's been a bit harder to march these days." Shang Nang heard the words and said, "But this is a matter of life and death for me in Tubo, how can I give up so easily because of a few casualties?" ”

"It makes sense." Lun Keer also nodded, and said, "Although the current Ming Dynasty does not pose a threat to my Tibet, he Li Chengqian's continuous assistance to Subi has already exposed his wolf ambitions, if this continues, Subi will be supported by a steady stream of materials and ordnance from the Ming Dynasty, even if it can't drag down my Tibet, but it will definitely hinder the development of my Tibet."

At that time, the Ming Dynasty will definitely assist Subi and the army will go south!

This is not what I want to see. ”

Songtsen Gampo shook his head and said, "Uncle and Da Zhu have made sense, but there is one thing you think wrong. ”

"Eh, I don't know where the old minister is wrong, please ask Zampu for advice." Shansang asked.

Even though he was much older than Songtsen Gampo, he never dared to underestimate Songtsen Gampo.

Songtsen Gampo said with a smile: "Li Chengqian will not allow Su Bi to sit big, if in the battle with Su Bi, we suffer a big loss, do you believe it or not, the object of Li Chengqian's assistance will immediately change from Su Bi to us?" ”

"Huh?" When Shang Nang heard this, he said, "What does Zampu mean is that Li Chengqian is actually using ourselves to check and balance each other? ”

"Yes." Songtsen Gampo said, "Although he is strong in the Ming Dynasty, I have the advantage of the terrain in Tibet, and he Li Chengqian is not willing to rashly send troops to our Tubo unless it is absolutely necessary."

On the contrary, my Tubo is condescending to his Ming Dynasty, as long as I Tubo is unified, I can pose a threat to his Ming Dynasty at any time.

Therefore, Li Chengqian is not actually supporting Subi, but he just doesn't want our land to be reunified.

After we are unified, we will definitely focus our strategic attention on the Ming Dynasty.

This is what Li Chengqian does not want to see.

It's a pity that those idiots in Subi can't even understand this. ”

Speaking of this, Songtsen Gampo scolded for no reason.

But he was wrong.

It's not that Mangbo Jie Sun Bo didn't understand, people had already understood it, but as the same king, who would be willing to surrender to whom?

"Indeed." Lun Keer said, "If we unify Tibet, we will definitely have a direct conflict with the Ming Dynasty. However, this also shows that Li Chengqian is still afraid of us. ”

"Fear is inevitable." Songtsen Gampo said, "But we are also afraid of them. ”

"Zampu, why don't you send an envoy to Subi and talk to King Subi?" At this moment, Lu Dongzan spoke.

On this occasion, Lu Dongzan generally listens more and talks less, after all, his current identity is not qualified to scold Fang Xuan here.

"Envoy Subi?" Songtsen Gampo smiled when he heard this, "Forget it, that man Mangpo Jie Sunpo is more stubborn than the stones in the pit, you can't convince him."

If it was really so easy to convince him, he would have led the Subi to surrender to Tibet.

Moreover, if you go to his territory, he will not tell you that the two armies will fight and not fight. ”

On this point, Songtsen Gampo knows too well.

However, Lu Dongzan didn't want to give up, and insisted: "Weichen is willing to try."

If my Tubo continues to be consumed by him like this, it will be a trouble for my Tubo own development after all.

Moreover, this time Subi is the most difficult time, if it is not good, it will attract the belly and back of the Ming Dynasty to suffer the enemy, at this time, if we know it with reason and move with emotion, it is difficult to say that we can't convince them.

In the final analysis, this land is ours and theirs, but it is definitely not Han people like Li Chengqian.

Under this premise, Weichen is still sure to convince them. ”

"You probably don't know anything." Songtsen Gampo said with a smile, "Not long ago, the Ming envoy had sent an envoy to Subi, and I heard that it was a guy named Wang Xuance.

Therefore, your previous plan has long been seen through.

Moreover, the Subi army that invaded the Ming did not lead the Ming army out of the city.

Your schemes are useless......"
