In Li Yan's mind, the third brother is the smartest person in the world, but the smartest person in the world will also fall into the attitude of the authorities.

However, Changle and the others did relieve a lot of anxiety and irritability in Li Ke's heart, and he was indeed a little stuck in a dead end, and he always felt that inheriting the throne was like he was tied to death all of a sudden.

After eating a barbecue, Li Ke also figured out a lot, it is impossible to tie up to death, it is Fang Xuanling who is tied to death, they are right, they tell them not to want to run.

Hum? Zhishi, impossible! All of them are ready to die for Datang.

As for himself, Li Ke has figured it out, or that plan, and when the arrangements are made, he will gradually reveal the plan for a constitutional monarchy, and then let them work.

You can control it remotely by yourself.

Li Ke figured out a lot here, and Chen Xuanzang, who was far away in Tianzhu Yuzhang Port, also received the order that Xu Zheng told him.

Chen Xuanzang was stunned to contact Chang'an in just over a day, but General Xu repeatedly confirmed that there was no problem with this matter, not only that, but also issued him a customs clearance document with relevant characteristics, as well as related court clothes and other things.

Chen Xuanzang hesitated for a moment, and finally decided not to ask, since His Majesty knew about this matter, and also gave him a position as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, then he had to try to see if he could persuade Tubo to surrender.

Chen Xuanzang is not overconfident in his own ideas, but he feels that many things he has learned are still reasonable, although it is said that the study of Buddhism is of little use to save the world, but some of the truths in Buddhism can also make Chen Xuanzang think more smoothly when thinking about problems.

However, when he was about to go to the capital of Tubo, he got an unexpected thing, this time as an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, he didn't have to walk alone, not only horses, but also two retinues, and an envoy group composed of four guards.

Although the number was small, when they entered the territory of Tibet, the border general of Tibet immediately sent a team of several hundred people to protect them and escort them to Lhasa, the current capital of Tibet.

That's right, the current capital of Tibet is still called Lhasa, of course, it was changed from the city of the original Ring Sun Dynasty, in fact, it is still not far from Nalanda Temple.

He went back and forth twice in a few days, but Chen Xuanzang's mood was completely different, he had been observing the situation around him on the way, and he had to admit that Tubo's management of these places was actually good.

Chen Xuanzang knows this land very well, and the beliefs of the people here are indeed very pious and ignorant, of course, this is inseparable from the management methods of their managers.

And their minds always have an indescribable thought, which is always different from normal people.

But on the whole, the people in this land that Chen Xuanzang has seen are living in great hardship, they are very lazy many times, but they desperately hope and believe in the gods to make their lives better.

Of course, this part of the population is a minority after all, and there are such people in many countries. But now, judging from the places he passed, the surrounding fields have been planted with grain, and the weeds and other things are well handled.

And from the degree of reclamation of these fields, etc., Chen Xuanzang knew that after Tubo was under its jurisdiction, these original Tianzhu people lived much better than the Jieri Dynasty!

This is probably the reason why the Tibetans were able to quickly gain a firm foothold in this land.

This may become a bargaining chip for Tubo, but it doesn't matter, if it can be negotiated, Chen Xuanzang feels that he is still sure.

Chen Xuanzang soon met Songtsan Gampo, and the two had met, so after meeting, Songtsan Gampo was also a little stunned: "The master is Master Xuanzang?" ”

"It's me, but I'm still a layman now, no longer a monk, but an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, my surname is Chen, Chen Xuanzang." Chen Xuanzang said with a smile.

"I've seen Chen Envoy." Songtsen Gampo nodded, which was enough to give him face.

"I don't know the purpose of Envoy Chen's visit this time?"

"The new emperor of the Tang Dynasty succeeded to the throne, and I naturally came here this time for a certain purpose." Chen Xuanzang said with a smile.

"Oh, Master, please speak." Songtsen Gampo nodded, he was a little curious.

"Actually, I'm here to persuade His Majesty to surrender." Chen Xuanzang did not hide his purpose, but said it directly, the current Tubo has been transformed into a king system, so it is no problem for him to call Songtsen Gampo His Majesty.

Songtsen Gampo looked at Chen Xuanzang with a confused expression, he thought he had heard it wrong, "Chen Envoy, are you sure you are not wrong?" ”

"Of course I'm not wrong, I'm really here to persuade Your Majesty to surrender, I don't know if Your Majesty has heard of Datang's latest achievements?" Chen Xuanzang said with a smile.

"Of course, but if you think I'm going to surrender because of this, then you're wrong, and I won't surrender." Songtsen Gampo said with a cold face.

"Your Majesty, where did you get your confidence?" Chen Xuanzang smiled.

"You...... You don't have to worry about where I got my confidence, if I just say this, you can go back, no matter what happens to Datang, we Tubo will not be afraid. Songtsen Gampo's face was a little ugly.

Chen Xuanzang smiled, and he said lightly: "I don't know how much the total population of Tubo is now, but it won't exceed two million at most, and I don't know how many soldiers there are. ”

"But Goguryeo has a population of more than 5 million, a total of more than 600,000 soldiers, and at least 300,000 armored soldiers, and the number of heavy cavalry is at least 50,000!"

"What does Tibet have? Now the total number of soldiers in Tibet is no more than 200,000, and the armor is all sold to you by the Tang Dynasty, whether you can wear armor of these 200,000 is unknown. ”

"Why was Tubo not afraid of the Tang Dynasty at the beginning, is it because Your Majesty, you are very powerful? Or is it because the soldiers in Tibet are very powerful? No, it's not Your Majesty that is powerful, and you're not the soldiers of Tibet, but the terrain of Tibet. ”

"Without the moat of the plateau of Tubo, your Tubo would have been wiped out long ago! It's not much different from Tuyuhun at the beginning. ”

"The reason why you are still alive now is because Datang has not freed up his hands, and now the country of Bi has long been included in the territory of Datang, and there is no longer any drag in Datang."

"That is to say, if the Tang Dynasty uses troops, westward expansion is an inevitable choice, and Tubo is now blocked on this road."

"Your Majesty, are you really so confident?" Chen Xuanzang looked at Songtsan Gampo and asked calmly.

Songtsen Gampo's face was pale, there were some things, he didn't know, but being insulted in front of him like this, even if it was a fact, so what?
