Chapter 384: Negotiating with Lu Dongzan
The tide of the battle was quickly reversed, and several of Songtsen Gampo's troops and horses were scattered, and Songtsen Gampo had not yet been caught.
Xu Jingzong said very much, and this is also the news that the Foreign Affairs Yuan can get.
What happened will not be known until the return of the army from far away in Tibet.
After suffering this loss, presumably Li Shimin would not rashly send a large army to Tubo again.
It was useless to persuade Li Shimin before, after suffering this loss, if he could learn a lesson, this emperor could still be saved.
explained some matters to Xu Jingzong, and Zhang Yang went to Dongshi to buy some vegetables.
There are also a few crucian carp at home, which can be killed and eaten at any time.
The daughter-in-law likes to eat fish and steamed buns.
After returning home, I made two dishes simply, after the family finished eating, Zhang Yang spread out a map and looked at it carefully, in the afternoon, Aunt Yang received a message from Xu Jingzong, and three days later, that is, on the last day of late April, Datang and Tubo officially began negotiations.
Seeing that her husband was still looking at the map, Li Yue stepped forward and asked, "This is the map of Tibet."
Zhang Yang nodded with a pen in his hand, outlined the boundary line of Tibet according to his memory, and then drew a line, drawing a general range from the Western Regions.
"At present, there are still two things that the Foreign Affairs Yuan has not done well, the first is the matter of Tibet, and the matter of the Western Turks."
Li Yue sat down and looked at the map and whispered, "The Western Turks are not peaceful, and the Western Regions are also difficult to pacify."
The northwest direction of the Western Regions is the Western Turks, and Gaochang is at the junction of the two sides, and the Western Regions are below Gaochang, and the Western Turks are located above Gaochang.
There is nothing wrong with the words, and controlling the Western Regions is indeed to pacify the Western Turks.
If there was a defection in the middle of the way, the Western Turks would raid the Western Regions.
Zhang Yang seems to be Gaochang, "It's still my daughter-in-law's vicious eyes that take a fancy to Gaochang at a glance, this Gaochang is the Western Regions and the Western Turks Dinghai Shenshen Needle, and there are garrisons in Gaochang, once there is a change of Gaochang's soldiers and horses can go north to conquer the Western Turks, and down to the Western Regions."
Li Yue said with a smile: "I mentioned grape brewing, it was my husband who bought Gaochang for a penny, is it possible that I said that if I want the snow-capped mountains in Tibet, my husband can buy it."
First scratched his head, Zhang Yang smiled and didn't reply.
Seeing this, Li Yue looked at it again, "Husband doesn't really want to buy the snow-capped mountains of Tubo anymore."
Zhang Yang smiled dryly, "How is it possible, how could I think of such a thing."
"Are you really not going to buy the snow-capped mountains of Tibet?"
"That's nature, definitely not, how to buy the snow mountain?"
Li Yue nodded reassuringly, it was crazy enough to buy a Gaochang, and he had to buy a snow mountain, who would come up with such a thing.
After thinking about this, Li Yue sat on the swing and looked at the scroll.
To make more rivets and fix wooden stakes, Zhang Yang felt that he had endless strength to build his new home.
In the past three days, Zhang Yang still did not go to the court, and the court did not send anyone to inquire again.
Li Shimin seems to be accustomed to having such an unobtrusive Ministry of Rites, and he is also used to being a maverick in the Ministry of Rites, so he simply doesn't care?
"Today is the day of negotiation with the Tibetan people, and the husband must take care of it."
Looking at himself in the mirror, Zhang Yang let his daughter-in-law take care of her hair.
Such a small piece of copper mirror is very uncomfortable to shine, and I have to adjust the position of my hair from time to time if I want to see it.
"Can't we prepare a larger bronze mirror?"
Li Yue combed his hair in a bun and said in a low voice: "The bronze mirror is very expensive, and such a small piece can only be bought with consistent money, and this is still brought out of the palace by my grandmother when I was a child."
"Haven't our families ever bought a bronze mirror by themselves?"
Li Yue nodded, "That's true."
"In the future, I will make a large mirror, which can reflect the whole body in a large mirror, and ......" Zhang Yang looked at the door, "It's as big as this door."
"How much money does that cost?" It's too expensive, and this mirror is enough."
Wait for your hair to be tidied up
After the haircut, Li Yue still has to tidy up her hair bun.
Zhang Yang took the eyebrow pencil on the side, "I'll give you a thrush."
Li Yue looked up at her husband and nodded with a smile.
Pink, white and black, Shi Fangze only, as early as the Warring States Period, there were such verses to describe women's makeup.
Zhang Yang carefully drew his daughter-in-law's eyebrows, which were not thick, but neat.
This is because of her anemia when she was a child, and her hair was yellowish when she was a child, even her eyebrows.
Zhang Yang held her chin with one hand and drew carefully.
The room was quiet, and the couple's eyes were inevitably looking at each other.
Until the painting was finished, Li Yue looked at himself in the mirror.
Zhang Yang looked at his results, "Well, it looks more heroic this way."
Li Yue pursed her lips and looked at it for a while, "How can a woman's eyebrows be so sharp."
"Didn't you?"
When he walked out of the room, Li Yue didn't change it, just drew such sharp eyebrows.
She has been weak since she was a child, but now she has such a solid family foundation and such a large fiefdom.
This gives her the momentum that a big landlord should have, what she lacks is the spirit that she should have, and the eyebrows are painted so that her eyebrows can be a little more aggressive, and her aura as the owner of Lishan is even heavier.
Walking out of the house, Zhang Yang wore an official uniform and walked all the way to the Foreign Affairs Yuan, today is a day of negotiations in Songtsen Gampo.
From Suzaku Street all the way to the east, passing through the East Market, passing by Pingkangfang is where the Foreign Affairs Institute is located, and then there is the Guozijian.
There were many people standing at the entrance of the Foreign Affairs Yuan.
With the last negotiation, the Foreign Affairs Institute in Chang'an City has become famous, and this negotiation has attracted the attention of many people.
Zhang Yang stood still in front of the hospital, and Songtsen Gampo was already here.
Xu Jingzong, Zhang Daxiang, and Zhang Dasu are also ready.
Fang Xuanling and Li Chengqian were still listening.
Zhang Yang smiled: "Brother Xiang, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Lu Dongzan bowed and saluted, "This time, we in Tubo came to negotiate peace with Datang with absolute sincerity."
Sitting down in the main seat, Zhang Yang raised his eyes and looked around, first clearing his throat, "What is the purpose of this Tubo negotiation?"
Xu Jingzong whispered, "I said I wanted a truce."
"Truce ......"
Zhang Yang gasped again, "What about after this truce?"
"After ......"
Xu Jingzong looked at Lu Dongzan again.
Lu Dongzan bowed his head and replied, "Naturally, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo can get along in harmony."
Zhang Yang raised his hands and saw the onlookers at the door, as if they were watching a good show.
"What are the conditions that the Tibetans can give?"
"We, Tubo, are willing to cede land and hand over a thousand hectares of land near Hehuang to the Tang Dynasty."
"What else?"
Hearing this question, Lu Dongzan looked embarrassed and then said, "Tubo is willing to sacrifice cattle and sheep, and promises not to invade the Central Plains again."
Seeing that Zhang Yang didn't speak in a low voice, Lu Dongzan raised his body and asked again, "Does Zhang Shangshu think it's inappropriate?"
Knowing that Zhang Yang would always drink tea when he was thinking, Xu Jingzong silently poured a bowl of hot tea and put it on the table.
Picking up the tea bowl and blowing the tea leaves, Zhang Yang said loudly: "This Tibetan minister, I also reminded you before that there are some things that the Foreign Affairs Yuan can not say, and the conditions you put forward are too child's play."
"I don't know what Zhang Shangshu wants us to offer in Tubo to make the two countries stop fighting, so that the soldiers and people of the two countries can rest and recuperate."
Zhang Yang smiled instead, "Don't use the words of rest and recuperation to coerce me, but your thoughts coincide with mine."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian muttered in his heart, and it was coerced and coincided, is this contradictory?
"Of course, our Foreign Affairs Yuan also negotiated with you from the standpoint of thousands of soldiers and thousands of people
Our soldiers were wounded and bleeding, and thousands of people in our Tang Dynasty were terrified."
"Not to mention the residents of Chang'an City, it depends on whether the people of the Tang Dynasty in the three counties and sixteen villages inside and outside Songzhou City will agree!"
The Diplomatic Courtyard fell silent again.
"Good!"
There were people outside the hospital who applauded, but I don't know who shouted it.
At this moment, the officials in the Foreign Affairs Yuan straightened their waists even higher.
Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth, "What does the Foreign Affairs Yuan want Tubo to do?"
Zhang Yang took a deep breath, "First of all, you have to apologize, let Songtsen Gampo apologize to everyone in Songzhou in the form of a national letter, and set up a monument to record the matter for future generations."
knew Zhang Yang's methods, even if he knew his actions, and heard such a humiliating request.
Lu Dongzan's teeth chattered.
Zhang Yang bowed his head and said, "Can you do it?"
Lu Dongzan saluted again, "Please also ask the Foreign Affairs Yuan to say other conditions."
"No, apology is the premise, if the Songtsam cadres do not apologize and do not erect a monument, this matter will not be passed, let alone peace, a truce is impossible."
Zhang Yang said loudly again: "I, Datang, have always hoped for world peace, and this is also the goal of our Foreign Affairs Yuan, it is you Tubo who unilaterally declared war on our Datang, and attacked Songzhou, causing tens of thousands of people to leave their hometowns, and they still dare not go back, dare to ask the Tubo minister, should Tubo apologize!"
[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading
Zampu had said that this man might become the most formidable enemy of Tibet.
At that time, Zampu guessed based on what happened to Tuyuhun, but it was just a guess, and he didn't expect that this young man would become the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
I didn't expect that Zhang Yang would be able to stand here and negotiate with him, and put forward a condition that people couldn't agree to.
"If Tubo can apologize for this, we can talk about the next conditions."
Lu Dongzan spoke slowly, "The foreign minister will write a letter to inform Zampu of this condition, and please wait for Zampu's reply."
Glancing at the people present again, Lu Dongzan said again, "Can you ask Datang to stop the war before that?"
Zhang Yang's face had a harmless smile on his face again.
Li Chengqian was also relieved to see this smile, it seemed that the war could be stopped, and then the next words made his expression change sharply.
"The blood of the soldiers cannot be shed in vain, and the tens of thousands of county citizens of Songzhou cannot suffer in vain, before the Tubo Zampu does not apologize to Songzhou and erect a monument, the Tang Dynasty will not stop fighting! This war will not stop until our conditions are met!"
Zhang Yang's words came from inside the Foreign Affairs Academy, and everyone outside was stunned when they heard such words, such a strong young man, if the young people of Datang are all like this, why is Datang not strong.
Lu Dongzan waved his sleeves and walked out of the Foreign Affairs Academy, and there was a cheer outside the courtyard at this moment.
Fang Xuanling watched the scribe record all the arrangements here, read it again to confirm that it was correct, and instructed, "Dry the ink and present it to Your Majesty."
"Why?"
Li Chengqian stood there for a long time and did not speak.
When the audience outside the courtyard dispersed, many people in the courtyard went about their own business.
Lu Dongzan returned to the post house, and he wrote down the conditions proposed by the Foreign Affairs Yuan today, and at this moment, the Tibetan prime minister was full of humiliation in his eyes.
What he wrote did not hope that Songtsen Gampo would apologize to the tens of thousands of people in the territory of Songzhou in the Tang Dynasty, he also wrote a suggestion to Zampu, don't agree to Zhang Yang's humiliating conditions, once you promise me that Tubo will have no foothold, and then a thousand instructions, the Tubo warriors would rather die in battle than apologize to the Tang Dynasty.
