Tibetan Zampu

Out of the ordnance prison, boring in the imperial city, passing by the busy Shangshu Province, and passing by the people coming and going of the Ministry of Rites, tomorrow will be the enthronement ceremony, this Ministry of Rites is the busiest, came to the temple of offering incense, sacrificing heaven and earth, tomorrow should be here to hold a sacrificial ceremony, and at this time, the door of the temple has always been deserted is to hear a burst of noise.

Li Pojun saw that it was the Honglu Temple opposite the front.

Chen Kang was surprised at a glance and said, "Your Highness, there seems to be someone over there."

Li Pojun looked at it, heh, it was really, a large group of ethnic minority people wearing wool and fur, leather fur, and cowhide boots with their toes facing upwards, and there were seven or eight samurai with scimitars hanging from their waists, all of whom had braided hair. In front of him, a young man with a red silk bun and a gold-rimmed felt hat was walking into the yamen of Guanglu Temple with several Tang officials talking and laughing.

This costume is ...... Hide? Tibetans?

At that moment, Li Pojun raised his legs and walked over there.

For this country that can compete with the Tang Dynasty in the seventh and eighth centuries, Li Pojun is also very convinced, such a small country, the climate is harsh, the land is not rich, and the country's population is not large, but it can become a powerful Tubo Empire!

This is a magical nation, the blood of Yanhuang is really not covered, even in that harsh living environment, it is a fierce mess, Li Pojun is very admired and respected by this powerful nation.

In the 7th century, Tibet replaced the Central Plains dynasty in the Western Regions and fought fiercely with the Arabs. The war continued, but the Arabs also found themselves facing an opponent that they could never defeat.

The Tang Dynasty and the Arabs are one in the east and the other in the west. They are all going to the east and the west, destroying countless countries, but they can only stare at the Tubo people. Moreover, the strength of the Tibetans was reflected in the fact that they faced the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire (and later the Uighurs) during the period of total victory, which were at the peak of their military power in the 7th and 8th centuries, but neither of them was able to take advantage of the Tibetans. Compared to other powerful nomadic peoples, such as the Mongols, there were no rivals worth mentioning in Eurasia at the time of their rise, so the Mongol expansion was a natural trend.

However, the Tibetans also opened their bows left and right in the face of the Tang Dynasty and the Arabs when they were strong, and sometimes they fought on three sides, and in the later period, they had to fight to the death with the Uighurs. Looking at the map of world history before the Mongols came to power, can you find a decent opponent in Central Asia?

It took more than 200 years for the Tibetans to grow from a small tribe to a large empire that rivaled both the Tang and the Arabs, from the late 6th century to the early 9th century, and accompanied the Tang, Arabs, and Huns through their heyday.

Li Pojun couldn't help but pay no attention to him, just because this nation later captured Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, several times, and was a terrible and respectable opponent, especially for that generation of British lord Songtsen Gampo has been friends for a long time, such a person, it is impossible to say that he has to compete, just right, at this time, Songtsen Gampo should be about the same age as him.

The young man in Chinese clothes was joking with Tang Jian, the temple secretary of Honglu Temple, and his keen consciousness suddenly made him look to the right, only to see a large group of people coming from the opposite side, dozens of guards with armor and knives neatly followed behind a young man, on the left a fierce warrior holding two big sticks and mallets to follow, and a man on the right holding a waist knife followed step by step.

Look at the young man who is the leader, hey, he is really a handsome man among people, dressed in white, with fluttering clothes, wearing a jade ring around his waist, and walking away with his hands behind his back, he feels that a momentum arises spontaneously, and the young man even feels that the young man's eyes seem to be looking at him.

At this time, Tang Jian, the Duke of Juguo, saw that the young man stood up, and asked with a smile: "Zampu, but what's the matter?"

The red-faced young man smiled elegantly, turned sideways, and looked straight in the direction Li Pojun came from, "I don't know what this is?" ”

It turned out that Tang Jian walked in front to lead the way, and this red-faced young man was tall and tall, blocking Li Pojun and others, Tang Jian looked at it, raised his eyebrows, and said respectfully: "Zampu, this one who came here is my Tang Dynasty prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Pojun, I don't know if Zampu is waiting here, let the officials go to meet him, or go together?"

Here Tang Jian said that his eyes shimmered at the red-faced young man, and the red-faced young man was stunned when he heard this. Then his face pulled, it seemed to be very complicated, and then he smiled and said: "It turns out that it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of your country, and the little king should go to meet him together."

After that, he smiled and said, "It's better for Lord Tang to introduce you, Lord Tang please."

Tang Jian laughed when he heard this, stroked his beard and smiled: "Haha, this is nature, this is nature." After that, he stretched out his hand and said: "Zampu is the king of a country, please be the first, please."

The red-faced man listened to the title of the king of a country again, but he still smiled and bowed and walked towards Li Pojun.

Tang Jian behind him and a group of Honglu Temple officials all laughed when they saw this, and a burly and bearded official stepped forward and praised: "My lord is powerful, my Datang is just like this."

Tang Jian also smiled unabashedly when he heard this: "Let's go, meet His Royal Highness the Prince."

It turns out that this red-faced young man is the Zampu of Tibet, which is also the title of the king of Tibet, and is the king of a country, only because the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Zhenguan will be held tomorrow, and these kings will come to worship and observe the ceremony.

But Tang Jian's words were to ask this Zampu Tibetan King to visit Li Pojun, you must know that this is the king of a country, and he is equal to Li Shimin, and Li Pojun is only the prince of a country, not the monarch of the country, Zampu went to meet the prince, this is not a self-surrendering identity.

And the red-faced young man walking in front of him unconsciously clenched his fist in his robe, and his face, which was already red, was even redder at this time, but he couldn't see it even if he was blushing, and there was still a smile on his face, even slightly respectful.

It's just that I feel humiliated in my heart, Tang people, we must become stronger, I, and my proud son Songzan, will definitely make Tubo a powerful empire, so that none of you can despise us, and will enjoy your beautiful land, jewelry, and jade, the flower world of the Central Plains, and we Tubo people will definitely have it one day, definitely.

Li Pojun was also surprised, who was that person, how did he come over, and behind him was Tang Jian, the Duke of Juguo?

At this time, the two were about to face each other, and Tang Jian caught up in a few steps.

"Tang Jian has seen His Royal Highness." Tang Jian bowed and bowed, and several officials behind him also bowed.

Li Pojun also stretched out his hand to help Tang Jian, who was nearly fifty years old and had slightly pale temples, and said warmly: "Why should Tang Gong be polite." After helping Tang Jian up, he bowed again: "I have seen Tang Gong, Tang Gong is polite."
