I heard Zhang Dasu talk about what happened during this trip to Tibet.

A few people came to the Foreign Affairs Academy, originally to wash the dust for Zhang Dasu, but before they arrived, Li Xiaogong and Li Tai ate first.

"Come on, come on, take a seat." Li Xiaogong beckoned.

Sitting around a table, the soup in the hot pot is boiling.

Zhang Dasu first ate a bite of mutton, after biting into a piece of cake, and then a bite of millet rice, he sighed: "I went to Guanwai to know what the scenery of the plateau is, and when I was in Tibet, I always ate half-baked things, and the barley of the Tibetan people, it is really difficult to swallow." ”

first watched Zhang Dasu eat a wolf.

Li Tai said in a low voice: "It's a pity that you came back late, and you didn't drink this year's ale." ”

Zhang Dasu took a sip of wine, "It's still good to drink in Chang'an City, I don't want to hide it from you, I want to vomit when I smell milk." ”

I don't know how much Zhang Dasu has suffered outside the gate, but now he is thin and thin, and he is obviously a strong young man when he goes.

On the contrary, officials from other ministries who came to explore deliberately passed by would take a few glances at the Foreign Affairs Yuan.

Everyone else was discussing business in their own official residence, and only the Foreign Affairs House ate directly.

Good mansion wine and meat are fragrant like what to say.

Li Xiaogong couldn't stand the stares from outside, walked straight to the door, and closed the door with a bang.

Let the officials of the various ministries who were onlookers have no choice but to give up.

A pot of mutton was eaten clean by Zhang Dasu.

When you have had enough to eat, you can discuss business.

Zhang Dasu took out a copy of the case file from his package, "This is the situation of Tubo grain, this is the news sent from the Western Regions, this is the news from Gaochang, and Su Dingfang has swept through the Qilian Mountains to the Western Regions, this is the recent decree issued by Songtsen Gampo." ”

took out a bunch of dossiers, Zhang Dasu wiped his mouth and was still tasting the wine and meat just now, "The harvest of this trip is all here, in order to inquire about some news, the official also learned the Tubo dialect, and now you can talk to a Tubo person in Tubo." ”

"I have mastered another skill of diplomatic relations, and I congratulate the Dasu brothers." Zhang Yang poured him a drink again.

Zhang Dasu drank it all.

Li Xiaogong said curiously: "Is it really as Zhang Yang said, you will get sick when you enter the depths of Tibet?" ”

Zhang Dasu shook his head, "After entering the depths of Tibet, I did feel the strangeness of my body, I took a hundred soldiers and horses to camp in Hehuang Xihai for two months, during which Songtsen Gampo often sent people to ask, saying that if we couldn't get to Luo, let us go back." ”

Zhang Dasu said that the river and the west sea are the Qinghai area, that piece of terrain is high in the west and low in the east, and after the river is the plateau.

Li Xiaogong gritted his teeth, "Dare to snub my Tang envoy like this, it's so arrogant!" The old man must let him dance the Hu Xuan Dance in the Tai Chi Hall like Jieli. ”

Xu Jingzong cleared his throat, "King of Hejian County, that one was danced by the Hu people, and the Tubo people don't have such talent." ”

Li Xiaogong stroked his beard and groaned, "Really? ”

Zhang Dasu's words continued, "Songtsen Gampo actually sent someone to say this, we naturally can't stop, fortunately, Zhang Shangshu said that we didn't rush forward, sent three or two people into the depths and turned back, and we got used to being stationed for two months, so we went to Luo. ”

Li Tai frowned and said, "Have you seen Songtsan Gampo?" ”

Zhang Dasu regretted: "I didn't see it, but I saw Lu Dongzan, Songtsan Gampo was not there when we went to Luo, and Lu Dongzan didn't elaborate, and handed over the letters of Chaozhong and Zhang Shangshu to Lu Dongzan." ”

There was still a fire in the stove, and the soup in the hot pot was still boiling.

Listening to the sound of the soup tumbling, Zhang Dasu looked at everyone, "Lu Dongzan didn't give any reply, and the lower officials didn't see Songtsan Gampo, they said that we can go to Luo, respect us as warriors, and it is very rare for the Central Plains people to go to Luo, and the Tubo people there don't even know the existence of the Central Plains." ”

"I couldn't see Songtsen Gampo, Lu Dongzan didn't care about us, and the lower officials couldn't have nothing to do with them, so we began to inquire about the affairs of Tubo, and we also heard a lot of things about Tubo......

Listening to Zhang Dasu's words, as he said, there are not many people from the Central Plains who can go to the plateau, and even fewer people from the Central Plains who can go to the plateau.

These files are all information and information collected by Zhang Dasu in Tibet for half a year.

It was very important for the Foreign Affairs Institute to have first-hand information about Tibet, including the distribution of the population, the topography, and the customs there.

This is all Dasu's hard work, and it is also valuable information.

Zhang Yang said: "Dasu, you will write down the physical reaction of going to Tibet this time and the climate of the plateau, which will be of great use to us in the future." ”

Li Xiaogong patted the case and said: "Yes! In the future, the old man's soldiers will be of great use when they enter Tibet. ”

Li Tai said leisurely: "Don't be strong, I heard that Uncle Wang is now up six times a night, and a strong person is just a strong person, you are afraid that before you reach the plateau, we will cry for you in Chang'an City." ”

The words were like a basin of cold water poured on Li Xiaogong's head, and the blood in his heart was suddenly cold.

The original intention is good, with Li Xiaogong's current status, there is no need to risk his life, but the little fat man's mouth is a little poisonous.

How can the shortcomings of the elders be exposed in front of so many people.

Zhang Dasu took out another book, "In the autumn of this year, the Gaochang people transported cotton through Qilian Mountain, and also met Li Daoyan and Su Dingfang, several Gaochang soldiers with two people and accompanying soldiers and horses have gone to Tianshan, and on the way back, they have received news that they and Ashinadur and some Gaochang soldiers and horses have been united. ”

"Does Songtsen Gampo know the news?"

"When he came, Lu Dongzan already knew that he was very dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty's attack on the Western Regions, and even threatened to seek justice for the four towns of Anxi."

In the eyes of the Tubo people, the soldiers and horses of Guanzhong went to the Western Regions in order to take the four towns of Anxi, and this news was not clear even to the DPRK.

Now that everyone in the court and China also knows that the Tang Dynasty wants to take back the four towns of Anxi, Xu Jingzong has a gloomy face and is scheming, and the Tubo people think they are smart, so they send people to inquire about the news in Chang'an City, and with the news of Chang'an, the Tubo people can understand the intentions of the Tang Dynasty.

When all the departments of the DPRK and China said that this army was for the purpose of attacking the Western Regions, the Tubo people naturally believed it.

This is also the reason why the Ministry of Rites has been silent about these things these days.

Songtsen Gampo is indeed a smart man, he does not underestimate the Tang Dynasty, and he is not arrogant.

But smart people are easy to be mistaken by smart.

When everyone felt that the mind of the Ministry of Rites was still in the Western Regions, Tubo naturally believed it.

Xu Jingzong also knew that when this matter was arranged, only Li Daoyan, Su Dingfang, and Zhang Shangshu were present, including the four of themselves.

Zhang Dasu burped again, and he smoothed his breathing, "It's really all the milk in my stomach, and these days in Tubo are really not people's lives." ”

Xu Jingzong lowered his voice, "Zhang Shangshu Everything is ready, when will I do it." ”

Zhang Yang chuckled lightly and said indifferently: "This kind of thing must not be in a hurry, after all, it is stealing." ”

"When I came, I heard Lu Dongzan say that he was going to come to congratulate him this time."

Li Xiaogong slapped the table, "What an arrogant person!" The two countries are about to go to war, and he dares to come to the Tang Dynasty! If he dares to come, the old man will definitely cut off his head and hang it on the flagpole of Chang'an City! ”

"Uncle Wang, don't be impatient." Li Tai glanced at Zhang Yang, who was holding his hands with a calm expression, "What does my brother-in-law think?" ”

"If he wants to come, he will come, if we stop him, we will be stingy, the two countries are at war and do not kill them, pass the word to the border pass, open the door, see if he has the courage to enter the pass."

Listening to Zhang Yang's contemptuous tone, Li Xiaogong said again: "If you are a hero, don't care about the amount of energy, if he dares to come to Chang'an City, the old man respects him as a man." ”

Li Tai said helplessly: "Didn't you say you were going to cut off his head just now." ”

Li Xiaogong snorted coldly: "Respect him for a man first, and then it's not too late to cut him." ”

Zhang Dasu talked about Tang Xuanzang again, who ran away from Guanzhong and Tuyuhun fell into the hands of Songtsan Gampo, and this person also made a gentleman's friendship with Songtsan Gampo and let go of this monk.

It is said that the monk's footsteps should also be in the Western Regions now, and now the east of the Tianshan Mountains is in a mess.

Zhang Yang held his hands and looked worried, and he didn't know if this monk was still alive.

Knowing that Zhang Dasu was back, the court would definitely come to inquire, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door of the outer courtyard.

Li Xiaogong opened the door and saw that it was Li Shimin's inner servant and eunuch who was not easy to offend, so he asked, "Is it Your Majesty's order?" ”

"Your Majesty has a decree, please ask Zhang Shangshu to go to the Wude Hall to discuss matters."

After glancing at Da Su, Zhang Yang said, "Brother Elephant, you take Da Su to the village to meet the teacher and his wife first. ”

Zhang Daxiang hesitated: "Your Majesty's side ......"

Zhang Yang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll deal with it." ”

Zhang Daxiang nodded and said, "It's okay, I'm worried that Your Majesty will also summon Dasu." ”

Watching Zhang Dasu leave, Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Please also ask this father-in-law to lead the way." ”

"Zhang Shangshu is really polite when he speaks, where can the old slave be worthy of the name of father-in-law."

Li Shimin was worried about the affairs of the border pass, and the Foreign Affairs Yuan kept him aside, and of course the emperor also had a temper.

walked all the way to the outside of the Wude Palace, and saw Li Shimin with his back to him, he was admiring a pair of words.

First looked up, Zhang Yang saluted and said, "I don't know what is important for Your Majesty to summon you?" ”

"Zhang Dasu is back, what about the others?"

"I'm going to visit my parents first."

Li Shimin wanted to speak and stopped, it stands to reason that he should come to report first, and this kind of thing of loyalty and filial piety has always been ambiguous.

It also depends on which word loyalty and filial piety are put in front.

It is understandable to go to your parents first to fulfill your filial piety.

I feel a little lost in my heart, but it's not easy to blame, I can't be too harsh.

Zhang Yang sighed and said, "Your Majesty, can people talk face to face?" It's rude to turn your back to someone like this. ”

“……”

Putting down the copybook, Li Shimin sat down and looked at him, there are two words of loyalty and filial piety, and there are not many of them.

Drinking the tea with a displeased expression, Li Shimin said loudly: "How are things going in the Western Regions?" What about Zhang Dasu's trip to Tibet? ”

"Su Dingfang and Li Daoyan have already joined forces with the Gaochang people and Ashinadur soldiers, and they will be able to get the news in the spring of next year."

Seeing that Li Shimin nodded, Zhang Yang reported again, "Zhang Dasu has recorded a lot of news about Tubo, and the Ministry of Rites will present it to Your Majesty after sorting it out." ”

Li Shimin still nodded, "Go on." ”

"Zhang Dasu didn't see Songtsan Gampo when he went to Tubo this time, but only saw Lu Dongzan, and the letter has been delivered, but Tubo has never given a reply."

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "They really have no one in sight. ”

"It is true that there is no one in sight, and we should teach them a good lesson."

"What do you think are the chances of winning the war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo?"

"How do I know?"

Zhang Yang gave a reply without thinking.

The Wude Hall was quiet for a while.

"Why are you ......" Li Shimin stood up and paced back and forth, "I trust me so much, and you respond to me like this?" I gave you time, and I gave you all the power you wanted. ”

Zhang Yang held his hands and looked embarrassed, "Your Majesty's words are wrong, the power of the Ministry of Rites was agreed between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites and His Majesty, which was earned by the Ministry of Rites itself, and the money used by the Foreign Affairs Institute was also paid by the ministers themselves." ”

Looking at Li Shimin's black face again, Zhang Yang said again: "These words of the minister are somewhat unsightly, but they are just a matter of facts, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”

After a pause, Zhang Yang saluted again, "Your Majesty, everything the minister does is for the sake of the society, and I hope that Your Majesty can trust the minister, regarding the war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty this time, the minister will give Your Majesty an answer at that time, and the Ministry of Rites is still concentrating on the affairs of the Western Regions." ”

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yang saluted again, "The minister has retired." ”

Seeing that Li Shimin just saluted three times, he had to pay attention to politeness when talking to the emperor.

Those who are emperors can not be polite, and those who are courtiers must always be humble and courteous.

What kind of world is this?

With a burst of disdain in my heart, I heard that something was smashed in the Wude Palace.

"Your Majesty!"

The eunuch screamed and heard something smashed to the ground.

Zhang Yang subconsciously quickened his pace.

was walking outside the Chengtian Gate, and bumped into Li Chengqian again.

First looked at the Wude Palace, Li Chengqian was puzzled: "This is just seeing my father." ”

Zhang Yang kept nodding his head.

As soon as the snow stopped, the sky was still cloudy, and when the wind blew, it made people freeze.

Zhang Da'an, who followed behind, was puzzled: "Why did my brother leave in such a hurry. ”

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "I heard that Zhang Dasu is back, and there are many gains from going to Tubo for half a year. ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian walked to the front of the Wude Palace, and before he could walk in, he saw a table fly out, followed by his father's angry scolding.

"This Zhang Yang has no king, I will kill him alive sooner or later!"

The footsteps were retracted, and Li Chengqian muttered in his heart whether he wanted to see his father at this time.

"And said that he earned the power?!" Li Shimin picked up an inkstone and smashed it on the ground, and stepped on it with his feet.

In the face of the angry emperor, the eunuchs and palace maids all knelt on the ground with their upper bodies on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.

While stepping on it, Li Shimin's face turned from black to red with anger, "Your power is not given to you by me!" You're a bad boy! I've never seen such a shameless person! ”
