Chapter 109: The Envoy of Tibet
Accompanied by the sound of several drums, the gate of Daming Palace was opened, and a young man in different clothes crossed the imperial bridge and walked to the square in front of Hanyuan Palace.
At the tail dragon bridge, you can faintly see the Tang Emperor's feather cover car and Huang Luo cover the umbrella.
Datang holds Jinwu and Qianniuwei, mighty and majestic.
The ministers of civil and military affairs were lined up on both sides of the Son of Heaven's guard of honor.
There are dozens of people wearing Tang armor and standing in the middle of the square.
The whole scene was silent and silent
The sound of thousands of people breathing seemed to disappear.
Only the pressure as heavy as the mountains kept pressing.
Jin Zhudra straightened his clothes, and under the guidance of Jin Wuwei of the Tang Kingdom, he continued to move forward until he walked into the square, adjacent to those Tang generals, and was still dozens of steps away from the Tang Emperor's ceremonial drive.
"Stop, who's coming?"
Jin Zhu Dhara stroked his chest with his right hand, bowed slightly to the emperor's guard of honor: "I, Jin Zhu Dhara is the envoy of the Tubo State, and I ask to see the Tang Emperor by the order of the Great Minister Lu Dongzan." ”
When these words came out, there was a commotion among the ministers of the Tang Dynasty.
The attitude of the Tibetan envoys can be said to be neither humble nor arrogant, but this is the biggest problem.
During the Zhenguan period, the Tang Dynasty originally looked down on Tibet.
After experiencing the Battle of Songzhou, Taizong had some understanding of the national strength of Tibet.
In the end, the two sides made peace, and Tubo was declared a vassal to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty gave the princess to marry and became a son-in-law relationship, and Tubo was included in the Tang Dynasty's vassal state and tributary system.
Therefore, the envoys from Tibet must come to the court to meet the high standards of the suzerain.
But at the moment, the posture of this Tibetan envoy does not reflect this relationship at all, which is a provocation for Datang.
It is equivalent to seeing that Dad doesn't call Dad and shouts Lao Tie.
The civil officials were just discussing, but among the military generals, there were already fierce people who stood up and shouted: "Bold, why don't you bow down when you see Tian Khan?" ”
The caller, General Zuo Weiwei, Guo Beifeng.
Zuo Weiwei is one of the sixteen guards of the Tang Dynasty.
Later generations knew that Guo was to be sealed, all because of the defeat of the Tang army.
Later generations only blamed Guo Beifeng for not listening to Xue Rengui's military orders, resulting in a big defeat, but they never thought that Guo Beifeng was not incompetent.
Guo Zhifeng is the son of Guo Xiaoke, the founder of the Tang Dynasty.
In February of the fourth year of Xianqing, Li Zhi personally tried to raise people, and among the nine hundred people, only Guo Beifeng, Zhang Jiuling and other five people were on top, and they were ordered to wait for the Zhaohong Wenguan to be worshipped.
Previously, when he was in the expedition to Goguryeo, Guo Zhifeng was appointed as the head of the march of Jili Road, and he was under the control of Li Tao, and led his boat division to cross the sea and go straight to Pyongyang.
Later, Feng Shiben was ordered by Li Tao to lead the naval army to carry grain to reinforce Guo Zhifeng, the ship was broken, Guo Zhifeng planned to inform Li Tao of this information, but he was afraid that Goguryeo would know that the rescue soldiers would not come, so he made a clutch poem to give Li Tao.
Li Tao was puzzled and said angrily: "The military plane is so anxious, it still has the heart to compose poetry? Gotta kill him! ”
However, Yuan Wanqing, who wrote about it, understood the mystery of the poem and explained it to Li Tao, who then released Guo Zhifeng and sent food to support.
Judging from the entire battlefield of the expedition to Goguryeo, Guo Beifeng's performance was good.
Moreover, Li Zhichao sent troops to the expedition, which has a characteristic, which is usually a combination of old and new.
Or a combination of old and heavy-handed generals, with a fierce general.
For example, the previous Cheng Zhijie was paired with Su Dingfang.
Later, Zheng Rentai matched Xue Rengui.
Guo Zhifeng can stand out from the nine hundred people, and he is naturally very smart.
The Tibetan envoy was rude, and if the veteran and important ministers came out to reprimand, it would inevitably raise the Tibetan envoy.
It was just right for him to drink this.
Sure enough, the Empress Wu beside Li Zhi looked at him, and her eyes seemed to have a sense of approval.
Li Zhi raised his arm lightly, and Empress Wu said, "Stand down for the time being." ”
"Yes."
Guo waited to reach the Tao and immediately retreated to the ranks of military generals.
The Tibetan envoy below, dressed in strange clothes on the plateau, has a black face and a red complexion, and his eyes are black and bright.
If you throw away his plateau red complexion and ignore his fancy clothes, there is a rugged and wild beauty.
He bowed to Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang and said: "I am a native of Tubo, and I can only bow down to Tubo Zampu, but I can't bow to the Tang Emperor." ”
"Bold!"
At this moment, the civil and military courtiers were collectively angry.
In the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo is still a younger brother.
Now, in front of countless foreign chieftains and envoys, he dares to be so rebellious.
Li Zhi lightly shook Wu Meiniang's snow-white palm.
The Empress Wu, who had a heart with him, immediately raised her voice and said: "Quiet, Your Majesty will parade today, why be arrogant." ”
The courtiers gradually calmed down.
Since Li Zhi was willing to meet the Tibetan envoy at this time, he had the idea of establishing authority.
If you want to be powerful, you must not be in a hurry, let alone chaotic.
It's like an adult facing a child, letting the child show his teeth and claws, I want to look at you squarely, count me as losing.
care, indicating that the two sides are in an equal position.
Ignoring the other party and crushing it with hard power is the best policy.
"You are the envoy of Tibet, you came to see the Khan, what is the matter?"
Wu Meiniang continued to spit out.
Her voice is very pleasant and beautiful, with an attractive magnetism.
And it was full of neutrality, and the entire square was full of military ministers and foreign envoys, all of whom could hear it clearly.
"Our country's great minister Lu Dongzan, on behalf of Tubo Zampu, please make peace with Tuyuhun, and ask for red water land for animal husbandry."
When these words came out, the entire Tang court was surprised.
Including Li Zhi, his face also became extremely strange.
Courtiers, vassal envoys, and chieftains were discussed.
This request of Tibet is both rude and arrogant.
To be close to Tuyuhun is to legally become a blood relationship with Tuyuhun, and to get legal support for the actual control of Tuyuhun.
For example, marrying a princess of Tuyuhun and then occupying Tuyuhun's land, you can clearly and justifiably play the banner and say that it is the son-in-law who helps the father-in-law keep the family wealth.
In this way, if Datang wants to interfere again, it will be more troublesome.
And the land of pasture......
This point is more sensitive.
The land of animal husbandry in Tuyuhun is a large area of vast grassland after jumping from the Tang Dynasty to Dafei Sichuan.
If Datang agrees to give this grassland to Tubo for animal husbandry, believe it or not, will people dare to drive cattle and sheep to Dafeichuan next time?
This is not a provocation, it is simply a naked forcible seizure.
Nose on face.
Wild!
Li Zhi's face gradually became gloomy.
No matter how good his qi cultivation skills are, it depends on what happens.
For Emperor Li Zhi, who wants Mount Tai to seal Zen and become famous in history.
Tubo will not rebel sooner or later, and at this time, annexing the entire territory of Tuyuhun is already a slap in the face without giving face.
Now he is still sending envoys to make these rude demands, which is not as simple as slapping the face.
I simply wanted to rub the face of Tian Khan under my feet in front of the Tang Dynasty.
The other party is just a small envoy.
Killed, and dirty knives.
If you don't kill, let it be so provocative, how can the Tang Empire, which is 14 million square kilometers, swallow this breath?
Datang is from iron and blood.
Li Zhi is also soft on the outside and rigid on the inside.
His hand grabbed Wu Meiniang's palm hard, and his eyes looked down at the Tibetan envoy who was looking forward to it below.
A smile appeared on Li Zhi's face: "Interesting, it's really interesting, Tubo Zampu asked you to come, don't you really be afraid of these non-part invitations, the Tang Heavenly Soldiers are coming to Luosha?" ”
His voice was not loud, but his tone was unusually resolute.
No one doubted Li Zhi's determination.
There will never be anyone who doubts the martial virtues of the Tang Dynasty.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the east and the west have been fighting, and one by one strong enemies have been wiped out in front of it.
The mighty Turkic Empire, dead.
The mighty Goguryeo, died.
Baekje and Wa kingdoms are dead.
Dozens of countries in the Western Regions, large and small, either died in the Tang Dynasty, or paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and obeyed and adhered to it.
Now, Tubo suddenly jumped out and tried to challenge the majesty of the Tang Dynasty.
In front of the entire Hanyuan Palace, the silence was terrifying.
The sun broke through the clouds from the east and shone on the Daming Palace.
Shine brightly.
The faint sound of trumpets and drums sounded from afar.
It was the Tang Iron Cavalry arrayed outside Chang'an City, waiting for Su Dawei and other leading troops to open it.
Jin Zhu Dhara stroked his chest with his right hand, bowed and said: "Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, my country has always been respectful, although I Tubo is a small country in the west, there are millions of soldiers, the prime minister said, our country is small and the people are poor, and the people are waiting to be fed, so they can only find suitable pastures." ”
As he spoke, he straightened up, looked straight at Li Zhi on the high platform with his eyes, and said firmly: "If the Tang Emperor doesn't allow it, then we can only go to graze by ourselves." ”
"Bold!"
By Su Dawei's side, Su Qingjie was fierce, and he couldn't hold it back for a long time, and strode forward amid the loud cheers.
The lightning swirled around him, and it was clear that he had been really angry.
What do you mean by a million soldiers?
What is called to go to herd yourself.
This is bright muscles, which is equivalent to Datang disagreeing, and I Tubo raised troops to take it for myself.
There is no other meaning, it is to provoke and declare war.
If the Tang Dynasty agrees, Tubo will occupy the pasture with peace of mind and digest the land and people of Tuyuhun.
If the Tang Dynasty does not allow it, it not only tests the mind of the Tang Dynasty, but also shows the posture of Tubo in front of the chiefs of the subject countries of the Tang Dynasty.
Tibet has the intention to replace the Tang Dynasty as the new suzerain.
For the Tibetan people, the center of the whole world originates from Mount Gangdis, Mount Kailash.
Tibet should naturally be the king of the world.
In the past, they had no strength, so they could only endure it for the time being.
But over the years, under the leadership of Lu Dongzan, Tubo conquered the east and west, not only conquered Tianzhu several times, obtained a large number of aliens and strange people from Tianzhu, but also absorbed a large number of aliens from the ancient Xiangxiong and Tuyuhun.
A million soldiers is not a lie.
Behind this force, there is also a huge number of Inhumans to support.
This made Tibet's confidence swell unprecedentedly.
Su Qingjie wanted to step forward, but was held down by Su Dawei: "Lion, don't be fooled." ”
It doesn't matter if Su Qingjie goes up, even if he turns this envoy into a roast chicken, it doesn't matter.
However, the Tubo people provoked the Tang Dynasty, and among the subject countries, the goal of humiliating the Tang Dynasty was achieved.
For an envoy to Tubo, does the Tang Dynasty also need to send a senior military general wearing turtle back fish scale armor?
Looks like an alien.
Adults beating children, is it good-looking?
Do you have face?
"Ami, I'm ......"
Su Dawei shook his head, took a few steps, first saluted Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang, and then raised his voice to the Tibetan envoy: "The Tibetan envoy has come from afar, let the others go for the time being, do you dare to play a game with me?" ”
"Oh?"
Jin Zhu Dhara glanced at Su Dawei and said with a smile: "I don't know what game this general is going to do?" ”
His voice focused on the word "general".
Su Dawei knew what the other party was thinking, and pointed to the sky: "I have long heard that the Tubo people are good at raising eagles, I saw one flying over your head, but the eagle you raised?" ”
Everyone was reminded by Su Dawei and looked up at the sky.
Sure enough, I saw that in the clouds above the Daming Palace, there was a small black dot hovering.
