Thanks to the peace pact concluded after the defeat, the small-scale trade between Tibet and the Great Zhou, and the close connection with the Silk Road, the bazaars of Tibet had many goods from the Great Zhou.

Especially food.

Most of the people of the Great Zhou can survive by harvesting the crops on the land, which is inconceivable to the surrounding friends, because under the conditions of a comfortable life, the population will grow rapidly, and after two generations of peaceful development, the population will grow rapidly, and then the food will become more and more insufficient.

This is true for cropping, and grazing is even more difficult. Overgrazing causes the destruction of pastures, and in a few years, a fertile land will slowly become barren. Because of the pressure of rations, either migrate, plunder, or fight for migration.

Therefore, the Tibetan people are particularly interested in this.

The wise leader of Tubo, Songtsen Gampo, used many tricks to marry Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty, not only for the purpose of nominally marrying the Tang Dynasty, friendly development, and deterring the surrounding areas, but also to value the added value brought by this princess - the advanced farming technology of Middle Earth.

Even if he can't play a role in Tibet, he can let Tibet have more food, which is the gospel he brings to everyone in Tibet.

After a long period of hereditary aristocratic seizure of power in Tibet, Songtsen Gampo rose from a puppet to become the de facto ruler of Tibet, and became a hero in the hearts of the Tibetan people.

Defeat the surrounding strong enemies, make friends with powerful countries, let an ordinary nation become the overlord of the plateau, and let every Tibetan person have a sense of national pride.

The Tibetan people are also proud to have such a Zampu.

And the national policy of understanding and learning from Middle-earth left by Songtsen Gampo was naturally pursued by later generations.

Although fresh and perishable food cannot be crossed over the mountains to Tibet, some easy-to-preserve foods such as bacon and nuts and dried fruits outside the customs are still popular among the Tibetan aristocracy.

Shen Sanwen proposed to the prince to understand their enemy, the Great Zhou, and the prince deeply agreed, in the past, he only knew about the porcelain and silk tea of the East, but this pioneer did not forget to introduce the food of the Great Zhou, thinking that it was unique.

Even if the eating habits were different, it did not prevent the prince from learning about the new culture.

If it is not as good as the food in the country, let them see what is delicious in the world.

The bazaar is large and has a wide variety of goods, but the stalls of the weekly goods are full of people.

The prince's honorable status, the Tubo people smiled and gave way to them, out of obedience to the orders of the Qin Ling.

On Qinling's order is very straightforward, this is a prince who can bring future and wealth to Tibet, and he is courteous and respectful.

Greedy Tibetan aristocracy who doesn't like money?

Actually, the stall prince here has been here before. Among the developed meats was pork, which he hated and couldn't bear, so he naturally walked away without paying too much attention.

However, the forerunner avoided the place where the smell was strong before, and brought him to the back of the dried fruit position.

Shen San asked, "Does the prince like sweet, salty, or spicy?" ”

The prince replied, "Sweet." ”

Shen San asked someone to take out dried red dates, dried longan, and persimmons!

Shen Sanwen said happily: "These can be regarded as the best of the sweets in the Great Zhou, the prince will try them first?" ”

With curiosity, the Great Food Prince picked up the red dazzling dates, there were ordinary dried goods, and there were also candied fruits full of honey, and he gasped for breath with a strong sweetness, "There is such a pure sweet in the world!" Almighty Lord, creation is truly amazing. ”

Shen Sanwen smiled, no matter what is smeared with a lot of sugar, it can have this taste, but the current technology is not developed enough.

The prince picked up the dried longan again, this is a sweet taste that goes straight to the door of the brain through the tongue, and the impact of the person can't stop, the prince quickly peeled out two more, "The magical country, the sweets of the big food are far worse than this, I want to bring these back to the big food, and the father will be happy to taste it." ”

What a good boy, Shen San asked and sighed, but why did you come to the Western Regions to do evil.

The prince's hand stretched out to the persimmon again, and Shen Sanwen stopped him, "This thing should not be eaten more, it is easy to be full, I heard that there is a banquet between Qinling and the prince at night, if the prince eats more things of the Great Zhou Dynasty and does not eat at the dinner, it is easy to cause dissatisfaction among the Tubo people, if they think that the prince dislikes their banquet, or the reception is not good but not beautiful." Bring more of this and eat it on the way. ”

The prince wiped his hands, "It's still thoughtful to the forerunner, that merchant, pack more, this king wants to bring more of these back." ”

Shen Sanwen accompanied him all the way around, acting as a commentary along the way, introducing a lot of strange things, which opened the eyes of this turtle from afar.

Among them, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, the use of feathers to write the big food, for the Great Zhou people to use animal hair to make pens, but also with the help of the pen to outline different calligraphy is very curious.

Shen Sanwen agreed, "Dashi characters can have beautiful calligraphy, but the words are too long, and the main place that can be expressed is the beginning and the end." ”

The prince also bought two "calligraphy" that seemed very clumsy to Shen Sanwen, and was accustomed to Wu Zetian's domineering flying white body, and the princess's meticulous and powerful regular script, and he really couldn't appreciate the calligraphy that the Tubo people didn't know to buy from that Yiyan.

Time passed quietly, and the dinner party was getting closer.

But the prince eventually lost interest in the Great Zhou culture, which was still too difficult to understand compared to the education he received in the Great Food Country!

This trip can find the food against the sky.

Men go shopping for a specific object, or to a new place to get some novelty, and now the prince is past that time.

The prince was puzzled, "Why do the Tibetan people purchase such delicious food, but don't sell it in a conspicuous place?" If I hadn't met you, I would have lost this opportunity to make a discovery. ”

Shen Sanwen explained with a smile, "The temperature in Tibet is changeable, the temperature is suddenly hot and cold, and the air is thin, and sweets are easy to produce phlegm, which is a burden to the body organs, and you can't eat more."

They have a lot of research on salty food. ”

The prince complained, "yes, the food these days are very unappetizing, but the good thing is to leave this terrible place tomorrow." ”

Shen San asked and pretended to be panicked, "Why are you going to leave so soon?" It's time for me to go to Luoyang and meet Her Majesty the Empress of the Great Zhou. ”

The prince said sincerely, "I hope the forerunners have a smooth journey." ”

originally wanted to bring him back to the barracks, but this person was dedicated to preaching and had a certain understanding of the life of Da Zhou, but when asked about the army, weapons, and war, he didn't know anything.

It's like a person who lives in the clouds can't give him more information.

This devout believer, after arriving in Luoyang, what awaits him is death! At the time of the war with the Great Eclipse, what a foolish act to go to their emperor to promote the sect of the enemy country!

After listening to him, Shen San asked and thanked him again and again, "With the blessing of the prince, I believe that this trip will be smoother." ”

In fact, Shen Sanwen's heart had already become cold, it was really hypocritical!

In the evening, the tomb announced the itinerary of the prince of the Great Food, and explained that today was actually a farewell, and the Tibetan people sang and danced to pray for the upcoming happy life.

Even if this happiness is built on the blood of countless warriors in the Western Regions.

Shen Sanwen naturally had no chance to participate, and even simply said goodbye.

During the banquet, Tan Qinling was worried about his departure, and there must have been a new conspiracy and countermeasures, otherwise Shen Sanwen would not have left at this moment when the dust had not yet settled.

The departure of the Zhou envoy was expected by most Tibetans, but the two countries did not fight each other, and no one wanted to embarrass them before war was declared.

Not because of morality and self-confidence, but because Tubo did not want to become the number one enemy of the Great Zhou, nor did he want to give up the opportunity to negotiate with the Great Zhou in the future.

On Qinling left the table directly and chased out, catching up with the young man who was still confident in the sunset.

"Aren't you going to enlist the support of Tibet?"

Shen Sanwen shook his head, "You said that if Taizong was like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu would pursue thousands of miles after one invasion, and the Turks would dare to commit repeated offenses, right?"

As much as I don't like war and killing, there is no denying that sometimes threats and fear are more useful than kindness. Because once you choose to be merciful, some people will become even more aggressive. ”

On Qinling replied, "I don't think so, there is no kindness between countries, only the strong and the weak, who is strong has the right to speak."

Since you have chosen kindness, you must have the power to be grateful for kindness. ”

Although Shen Sanwen didn't agree, he didn't want to argue with him at this juncture, "Maybe you're right, it's useless to talk more without speculation, why don't you say goodbye?" ”

At the moment when Qin Ling turned back freely and confidently, he suddenly had a trace of doubt, could it be that Tubo and Da Shi really couldn't be defeated, and Da Zhou really had such strength?

Did he really choose the wrong one?

No, this is his long-standing wish, and now is the best time.

"Tubo is willing to bear the consequences for this war, even if it becomes a subsidiary of the Great Zhou, if there is a day, the Qinling is willing to apologize with death."

Shen Sanwen sneered, "I'm afraid you don't have that chance." ”

On Qinling was pleasantly surprised, "It seems that you are not full of confidence in Da Zhou. ”

Shen Sanwen chuckled again, "I have changed my mind, I will wait for you at your brother's camp." Sometimes it is a cruel thing to destroy a person's dreams and make him see reality, but it is good to be sober. ”

Shen San asked that he would not leave, and on Qinling's hanging heart was put down again, as long as he still wanted to win over Tubo, he would feel at ease.

Just kidding, his bet with Wang Xiaojie hasn't been completed yet, wouldn't it be embarrassing to lose? It's just that he plans to lurk for a while and go directly to the future Great Zhou military camp.

On Qinling's return to the banquet, today Chidu was extremely happy, and did not trouble him, although the Great Zhou side talked about it, but the Great Food side dealt with it.

The Tibetans will become stronger and stronger, and they will gain a part of the Western Regions, and he may one day surpass his father and become the greatest Zampu!

Moreover, the Qinling Tomb is about to become yesterday's yellow flower, and he will be the only person in power in Tubo in the future.

The prince of the Great Food and the Tomb of the Emperor finally discussed all the details before the banquet, and the last moment of the banquet was the exchange of letters of state, and the last step of the ritual of the alliance between the two countries was completed.

Ironically, a few years ago, Tibet had taken the same steps as the Great Zhou, and now the content of the covenant is diametrically opposed.

No matter how solemn and rigorous the ceremony is, it cannot hide the fact that this national letter will become worthless waste paper in the necessary moment.

After the singing and dancing, the meal was finished, and the meal was still full, Chidu raised the delicate wine glass in his hand, and finally saluted the prince, "Congratulations to Tubo and Dashi on becoming allies." ”

Tibetan people don't like spicy food, but they always drink spirits, especially at dinner parties, the weather is really cold, and spirits can stimulate the mouth, tongue, nose and stomach, and make the whole person excited.

Although the prince doesn't like to drink, he naturally wants to give face in this situation, "Congratulations to Da Shi and Tubo for becoming allies!" ”

Everyone picked up the wine glass, took a sip to the bottom, and then the glass went down, and many people sat down and opened their mouths.

The prince was no exception, his glass spilled on the table, and he slumped in his chair. But he sat down and never got up again.

After a while, the servant on the side noticed that something was wrong and poked the prince, signaling him not to lose his manners on such an important occasion, but the prince remained motionless.

It's just a glass of wine, and the prince's amount of wine is not so bad!

Chidu also stared at this side suspiciously, "Is the prince drunk?" ”

The etiquette is not over yet, the big cannibal is so useless?

The servant crouched down and found that the prince was breathing, but he was in a coma. No, it's certainly not drunk, it's poisoned.

The servant cried out in panic, "There is something wrong with this wine!" Someone, something has happened to the prince. ”

With this scene of the banquet, the people turned up on their horses, and where the prince fell to the ground, the inner and outer three layers were surrounded by human heads.

Chidu looked at this side suspiciously, and on Yan also looked at Zampu with a deep meaning and continued to eat melons.

On Qinling stepped forward very anxiously, hugged the prince's neck, and tried to make him breathe more comfortably, "Hurry up and check, wine, food, wine glasses, maidservants, poisons, all look for them." ”

From the person who handled the vegetables and meat to the person who served the food, from the person who prepared the wine to the maidservant who shuttled between the banquets, there was no information about the murder of the prince.

On Qinling was sure that this matter was related to Shen Sanwen, but he had no evidence and did not know how he committed the crime.

What he knew was that he had to keep the prince, and if he returned to the Great Eclipse as if he was half-dead, the king of the Great Eclipse would be eager to split the Tibetan Plateau in half.

However, the witch doctor's careful pulse and dancing god gave the conclusion that there was a sudden illness, and the whole person would be paralyzed all the time.

The envoys of the Great Food protested one after another, obviously there was something wrong with the glass of wine, and the Tubo people had bad intentions towards the prince.

In one day, it was preliminarily determined that there was no problem with the wine, and there was no problem with the person serving the food, but the wine in the wine glass had been drunk and there was no way to know whether it had been drugged.

In short, no useful evidence was found on the Qin Ling.

The heirs of the Great Food King are thin, and his most valued heir has an accident here, but he is afraid that this peace negotiation will require a greater price in Tibet, and even directly lose the opportunity to negotiate.

The future is shrouded in fog, and people lose their direction for a while.

I fell asleep yesterday unconsciously.

Woohoo woo
