"If you only want to say this, then please go back." Songtsen Gampo stood up directly.

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient, since Your Majesty doesn't want to hear the truth, then let's talk about other things." Chen Xuanzang smiled, and then said, "I want to ask Your Majesty a question, I don't know if Your Majesty can give me an answer." ”

"Tell me about it first." Songtsen Gampo did not give him a good face.

"Your Majesty, you are also the king of a country in Tibet, I want to know, what is your ideal, Your Majesty? Or a dream, or something you want to do. Chen Xuanzang changed the subject.

"What do you mean?" Songtsen Gampo frowned.

"I just want to chat with Your Majesty, I want to know about Your Majesty's ambitions, I don't know if Your Majesty can answer?" Chen Xuanzang asked seriously.

Songtsen Gampo frowned, and then fell silent, ideal? Dream? Songtsen Gampo is a relatively early person to inherit the position, but in fact, to this day, whether it is an ideal dream or an ambition, he once had it.

But in fact, when he was the most ambitious, he didn't think about anything too much, in fact, his ideals and the like have always been very vague, just to make Tibet stronger.

But this kind of power, what kind of strength it has reached, he has never had a concept.

Until Li Shimin, the heavenly khan of the Tang Dynasty, was born, it cannot be said that he was born out of thin air, to be precise, not long after Songtsen Gampo succeeded to the throne at the age of twelve, Li Shimin had just become emperor for two years.

But in the next few years, he had just pacified the whole of Tibet, but Li Shimin was already the Heavenly Khan, the Heavenly Khan respected by all the countries around the Tang Dynasty, including the nomads!

Songtsen Gampo grew up more mature than many people, after all, he began to unify Tibet after succeeding to the throne, so he knew very well how difficult it was. Not to mention being like Li Shimin.

It is also because of this that Songtsen Gampo actually has a little admiration for Li Shimin in his heart, and this is why he admires the Central Plains culture very much, because the teachers who taught him knowledge are also learning the Central Plains culture.

As for the fact that he tried to marry the Tang princess again and again, whether it was his personal obsession or not, but in general, he still admired the Tang Dynasty very much in his heart.

As for ideals and the like, did you say that he had ever thought about developing Tubo to the level of the Tang Dynasty, that must have been his thoughts.

But just think about it, he knows very well that he can't do it, and the safety of Tibet is often because of the unique geographical location of Tibet, which Chen Xuanzang said is not wrong at all.

Take the current Tubo as an example, located on the continent of Tianzhu, it is clear that their Tubo people have more powerful military strength and literacy, and the combat effectiveness of those Tianzhu people is simply indescribable.

But their casualties are still not small.

At this time, Songtsen Gampo realized how much convenience Tubo's original unique geographical environment provided to Tibet.

Because the Tibetans have lived on it for generations, they have long since died if they could not get used to the environment, and those who survived were adapted to the environment, but the enemies who tried to attack them were not like this.

When they came to the land of Tibet, they had to reduce their combat effectiveness by at least one-third.

"There's nothing I can't say about this, I want to build Tibet into a strong country." Songtsen Gampo said with a serious face.

Chen Xuanzang laughed when he heard this, he looked at Songtsen Gan and said, "Then I don't know if Your Majesty knows what a strong country needs as a foundation?" ”

Songtsen Gampo frowned, he didn't want to answer this kind of question, and he wasn't taught by the other party.

However, it seemed to see through his thoughts, Chen Xuanzang didn't expect him to answer, but continued to speak directly: "If a country can be called strong, then it is necessary for the country to be rich and the people strong, and if you want the country to be rich and the people strong, the whole country must have a stable environment, that is, at least the whole country is working together, this is a must, it should be right?" ”

Songtsen Gampu paused and nodded: "That's right. ”

"Well, Your Majesty, do you think the current Tubo is united? Or don't say the current one, just say the former Tibet? Is it up and down in unison? In the past, in Tibet, were millions of people really on your side, Your Majesty? If it were true, then they wouldn't have thought of rebelling. ”

"I won't choose to join Datang directly after the rebellion. Because they just want to live a good life with enough food and warm clothes, and such a good day, Datang can give them, but Tubo cannot. This point, as the supreme leader of Tibet, Your Majesty, you should know better than me. ”

"What kind of living conditions were the Tibetan serfs in the past, and what they were like in the hearts of the Tibetan nobles, Your Majesty, you should understand." Chen Xuanzang said.

His words silenced Songtsen Gampo, can Songtsen Gampo not know? Of course he knew, of course he knew what kind of life the serfs at the bottom had, otherwise, why would these serfs rebel? Isn't it because the nobles of Tibet don't treat serfs as human beings?

Then there was today's situation, which is why after he stabilized here, he immediately set out to keep up with Datang and reform in accordance with the way Datang reformed.

And the results of the reform in the past two years have made Songtsen Gampo understand that he is on the right track, because the current Tubo can quickly gain a firm foothold here, which is inseparable from the policies he implements.

Not only that, but many people from the Ring Dynasty next door sneaked to their side because of their policies.

"You're right." Songtsen Gampo nodded in acknowledgement.

"In this case, but Datang's current policy is better for the people than Tubo, Datang now doesn't even collect agricultural taxes, and it doesn't lower the people's grain prices to ensure the people's income, and the army is everyone's monthly money."

"Which side do you think the common people prefer?" Chen Xuanzang asked with a smile.

Songtsen Gampo: "......"

"Of course, the reason why a country exists is that in addition to policies, there are also feelings of family and country, but now the people of Tubo have a sense of belonging to Tibet...... It doesn't seem to be strong. Chen Xuanzang added.

Can it be intense? It's only been a few years since Tubo gained a foothold here? You're going to let these people fight for Tibet? It's not impossible, but then you have to see who you fight, with the Ring Sun Dynasty, they are absolutely fighting bravely, because they know what it's like to be ruled by the Ring Sun Dynasty, and they don't want to live like that.

But with Datang?

For a while, Songtsen Gampo felt that what Chen Xuanzang said...... It really makes sense.

There is no leave in August, and there is no interruption at the end of the month.
