Wang Xuance did not elaborate on his thirty-man mission, because of what offended Alonashun, after all, in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty had contacts with the Ring of the Japanese Kingdom, and this time Chang'an took the initiative to send people over to make friends.

However, Wang Xuance and his deputy envoy Jiang Shiren, with only two people, escaped from the guard of Alonashun.

There were still nearly thirty people under his command in the captivity of Alonashun, and the two did not return to Chang'an, but went to the mud Bora over the snow-capped mountains.

Songtsen, the great leader of Tubo, married Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty and Princess Chizun of Ni Polo at the same time.

Wang Xuance borrowed troops from the king of Nibora, and wanted to kill and return to the country of the day to save people and shame.

In the name of the Tibetan chieftains Songtsan and Emperor Zhenguan, he borrowed 7,000 cavalry from the country of Nibora, and sent his deputy envoy Jiang Shiren to meet Songtsan in some cities, and borrowed 1,500 men and horses.

At the same time, they also cobbled together some of the small Tibetan countries in the Tang Dynasty, which had tens of thousands of people. Wang Xuance and Jiang Shiren, the two deputy envoys of the light pole who went to Chang'an, led these people to kill and return to the Japanese country.

Alona Shun hastily organized nearly 60,000 people to resist the Celestial Empire's coalition army, a six-to-one army, including tall and mighty elephant soldiers.

That's not good, Wang Xuance broke the elephant cavalry army with a fire ox formation, and he couldn't count how many wild bulls, with daggers tied to their horns, oil on their tails, and fire rushing into the elephant array, so shocked that those elephants ran away with their heads, rushed into the Japanese army formation, and trampled on a mess.

The army of the Ring of the Sun was killed, more than 10,000 people fell into the river and drowned, and more than 11,000 people were captured.

Thirty members of his entourage were rescued by a number of people.

Alona Shun was fortunate to escape and ran to the East Indies of Linguo to move troops to counterattack, but who knew that he fell into Wang Xuance's lure tactic again, and completely annihilated the remnants of Alonashun in a battle, and Alonashun was also captured alive.

On the other hand, the army was led by the deputy envoy Jiang Shiren, and broke through another large city garrisoned by tens of thousands of people led by Alonashun's wife, capturing tens of thousands of men and women, some of them were taken away, a large part of them were killed, and more than 30,000 cattle and horses were killed.

There are 580 small cities around the country of the Ring of the Sun, and they are descending from the wind.

Wang Xuance didn't plan to let go of the East Indies, because they had lent troops to Alonashun, but the East India King hurriedly sent horses, money, beautiful women, and jewels to apologize to Wang Xuance, and Wang Xuance spared him.

Wang Xuance and Jiang Shiren escorted the captive king Alona Shun and crossed the Green Ridge to return to China, and most of the booty was given to Tubo and Nibra as military supplies to help the soldiers.

They brought 10,000 captives, 20,000 horses, a number of elephants, and countless treasures, and returned to China through the Anxi Protectorate, and were on their way back to Chang'an.

Gao Jun is not very familiar with this Wang Xuance, and the eldest grandson Wuji introduced that this Wang Xuance served as the commander of Huangshui County in Rongzhou, and sent the former governor of the right to lead the government.

The emperor asked with a spring breeze on his face, "Harrier Guogong, what do you think Wang Xuance's merits are in this mission?" ”

Last time, from the eldest grandson Wuji, the emperor guessed that Gao Jun did not approve of this envoy to the country of the Japanese country, and this time Wang Xuance returned with a great victory, and he wanted to hear Gao Jun's opinion again.

The eldest grandson Wuji also regretted it, because Gao Jun's original thoughts were conveyed to the emperor by him. And Gao Jun did not agree with this mission, and he didn't know how Gao Jun would answer Wang Xuance's triumph.

Gao Jun said, Your Majesty, there has always been no barrier between the Ring of Japan and the Tang Dynasty, even if they change the new monarch, there is no need to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, so why did Wang Xuance imprison his envoy as soon as he went?

The emperor was originally full of smiles, but after hearing Gao Jun's words, he became serious and did not speak for a long time. The eldest grandson asked, "Why don't you talk about it in detail?" ”

The emperor said, "Forget it, you don't have to say it anymore, Wang Xuance's achievements are great, but the benefits of this battle are only in those captures, but the responsibility is not on him, in me." ”

The crown prince and Zhao Guogong did not understand the meaning of the emperor's words for a while.

The emperor drank a cup of wine and suddenly asked Gao Jun, "Then try to talk about it again, what impact does Wang Xuance's battle have on the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo?" ”

Shang Shuling thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, although Songzan, the leader of Tubo, and Weichen have eight friendships, each is its master, and what Weichen says next will never involve personal feelings. ”

The emperor said, "I know your mind, so let's talk about it." ”

Shang Shuling said that the Tang Dynasty crossed Tubo to make friends with the Japanese country, and this move must not be welcomed by Songzan, because this always has the intention of containing Tubo.

And who is there who likes his close neighbor and goes beyond himself to make friends with another?

In the case of the coexistence of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo, and Jieri, it is the city of Luo that really has a close relationship with Chang'an. Gao Jun said that if there was a dirty conflict between the Tang Dynasty and the Ring of the Japanese Kingdom, it would probably be what his righteous brother liked.

Shang Shuling did not say the secret reason why Alonashun imprisoned the envoys of the Tang Dynasty for no reason, he just said that this was not quite common.

But Zhao Guogong knew that Gao Jun was a little suspicious that Luo Qicheng had any other actions in the middle, such as provoking and intimidating, but this could not be said on the surface.

The eldest grandson Wuji thought, "If I were Songtsen, I would do this." ”

Gao Jun said, "Wang Xuance's move to borrow troops has to be said to be a clever move to respond to the situation, but the next direction is too arbitrary." He really shouldn't have beaten the country of the Ring of the Sun to a pulp, a fairly complete country of the Ring of the Sun, in fact, it is still beneficial for the Tang Dynasty to balance some cities. ”

But whose might is it with these borrowed soldiers?

The prince said, "Shang Shuling might as well say, if you face such a situation, what will happen?" ”

Gao Jun looked at the emperor, and the emperor also motioned for him to continue, and Shang Shuling said, "I will come to the city and send out my mission, and if I have the conditions, I will find out the reason why he imprisoned my mission." But if you can reconcile with Alonashun, you won't break your face. Otherwise, even if there is a war, it is only possible to get rid of this person and set up a new king who is pro-Tang, but it is necessary to ensure that there will be no major collapse of the country of the Ring of Japan. ”

Now that the country of the Ring of the Sun on the Tibetan side is dispersed, and the cities of Luo are no longer threatening and more stable. In addition to the fear of Tibet and the dislike of the Tang Dynasty, the country of the Ring of Japan lost the power to balance the cities of Luo. The fact that Nibora and Tibet were closer to Tibet was very different from the original intention of His Majesty's envoy.

The eldest grandson Wuji said, "Finally, we still have some seizures, and I heard that there are countless treasures, which can be regarded as ......."

Shang Shu ordered, "If you look at the micro-ministers, no matter how many of these captured and prisoners of war are, they are not as great as the losses we have taught those Tubo and Nibora soldiers by words and deeds, and taught the methods of siege, warfare, fire attack, and luring the enemy!" ”

This further confirms what Gao Jun just said, before the city of Luo was completely included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the battle with the country of the Japanese was indeed a little early.

The emperor said secretly, "At the end of the year, Songtsam's national letter revealed a slight intention of submission, and I don't know if this battle had any impact on this matter. ”

Thinking of this, the emperor asked, "So...... Can you speculate on me, what will be the trend of Luo Qicheng's attitude towards Chang'an in the near future? But it doesn't hurt to say, what to say. ”

Gao Jun said, "Your Majesty, Weichen can't see anything yet, but there is always a reference." ”

The Emperor asked, "What is the reference?" ”

"Princess Wencheng."

Gao Jun said that the great Tibetan leader Songtsen, who was his brother-in-law, married Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty and Princess Chizun of Nibora at the same time.

It stands to reason that the princess of a small country in Yibi Bora must not dare to compete with Princess Wencheng.

Shang Shuling said that the last time he and the third lady Fan Ying went to Luoqi City, Princess Wencheng was always the only heroine by Songtsam's side, and she couldn't see the shadow of Princess Chizun at all.

But Chang'an can wait and see from this time, such as asking the king of Jiangxia to pay attention to the princess's family letter - of course, such a letter is unlikely to be written very clearly, but there are always clues to be found.

Gao Jun said that with the princess's happy life in the past, it is unlikely that she will talk about other women. If the words "Princess Chizun" unfortunately appear in Princess Wencheng's future family letters, then it can be concluded that Songtsam's mentality towards Chang'an has changed.

The emperor said to the crown prince, "Immediately announce that Li Daozong will come to the Hot Spring Palace to see me." ”

Li Zhi immediately went to order someone to be called.

Soon, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, rushed to the Hot Spring Palace to meet the driver, and the emperor asked, "Daozong, did Princess Wencheng have any letters in the past?" ”

Li Daozong said that every year there is a letter on the Shangyuan Festival and the Double Ninth Festival.

The Emperor asked, "Did she mention in her letter that there were any other women in the city?" For example, Songtsam's other wife and so on. ”

Li Daozong said no, "There has never been any mention of such a woman, and the little girl entrusted His Majesty's Hongfu is very respected by Songzan in Luoqicheng, which can be seen in the letter." ”

The emperor said, "When you reply to the letter, you don't have to ask about it. But if she has any more letters, if she mentions any Princess Chizun, she will come and tell me quickly. ”

Li Daozong didn't know why, and he agreed again and again.

Harrier Guogong said, "In any case, Wang Xuance is a rare talent, and I hope that Your Majesty will not affect the reward of Lord Wang because of the nonsense of Wei Chen." ”

The Emperor nodded, "It's natural, but when I hear you say that, I'd like to hear it more, you should still have something to say." ”

Harrier Guogong said with a smile, "Your Majesty asked, how dare Weichen have reservations." ”

He said, "Actually, the more Wang Xuance took these captures of the Ring of the Japanese Kingdom, the more he would make Songtsan fearful, thinking that we only had two people in this battle, plus all the rescued envoys, and we couldn't pass thirty people, so these tens of thousands of prisoners and horses must have been escorted by borrowed soldiers before entering the country." ”

How would they feel about it? Datang went for the purpose of repairing, and if it was not repaired, he would return with money, so how should Songtsan look at Datang's intention of repair? ”

Everyone took a deep breath, including the Emperor.

This is really a bit of a petty family!

Although Alona Shun imprisoned the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, the reason is unknown. Was he bewitched, provoked, threatened by someone, or was there something else that had to be done? Or is it just for some people?

Besides, Wang Xuance and his deputy envoy escaped.

But with this hasty battle, nothing is known.

In the days when Wang Xuance fled, moved troops, and fought for war, these people who were imprisoned by Alonashun were unscathed, and they were not angered and hurt by the king of the sun. Well, the details here are really not clear.

Shang Shuling said that Wang Xuance should have taken only a small amount of money and rewarded it all to the Tibetan and Nibra sides as a reward for their troops—not more, but only in the right amount.

And Wang Xuance only had to escort Alona Shun back to China to discuss the crime. Then Lord Wang is not only a fierce general, but can be called a talent of warp and weft.

The emperor pondered for a long time, did not speak, and there was a trace of remorse in his color, and no one knew what he had in mind. Then he said to Gao Jun, "Harrier Guogong, you accompany me for this cup!" ”

The crown prince, Zhao Guogong, and the later King of Jiangxia could only watch.

They all know, don't underestimate this glass of wine, you have to see who invited you to drink, there is a lot of knowledge in it, and the intention is very deep.

The prince said, "Your Majesty, Wang Xuance will arrive in Beijing in a few days, and we don't know if we want to express anything about Tubo and Nibora." ”

The emperor sighed and pondered for a while before saying, "No need, is it possible that my Datang can break a country with two people, what a great deal?" Even the encouragement to the Tibetan country is exempted! ”

Shang Shu ordered, "Your Majesty, Weichen implores, don't delve into some of the concerns in Wang Xuance's envoy this time, no matter how you say this person, it is very rare." In addition, the reward for Lord Wang was transmitted to Tubo, and there was also a risk of exposing Chang'an's intentions! ”

He suggested that Wang Xuance should be secretly promoted and rewarded, but on the surface, he should not be silent, do not wish victory, and do not issue a letter of state to the various Tibetan countries.

The emperor said, this matter will be discussed and dealt with by the prince of Harrier, and I don't have to worry about it.

Before leaving the Hot Spring Palace, the emperor suddenly mentioned the high trial.

He said to Harrier Guogong, "I heard that Shang Shuling intends to make Zhongshuzi a doctor of Guozi?" Wouldn't that be unyielding! ”

He clapped his hands and said, "In this way, the middle concubine doesn't have to do it, let Master Gao go...... Go to Honglu Temple to serve as Zhengqing. Lao Tzu, who was the prince of the country, came forward to receive foreign envoys, which was always their face. ”

Gao Jun's heart was hot, and it was obvious that the emperor had already seen that Gao Xianxing was dangling around the court, going east and west, and he was restricting himself.

Honglu Temple is only a specific affairs yamen, the business is single, and it is subject to the simultaneous jurisdiction and control of the Ministry of Shangshu and the province of Zhongshu.

And Honglu Temple Zhengqing is from the third grade, and the level of the high-level trial line has not changed, but the identity is no longer as convenient as before, and his status is more than one level lower than that of the middle concubine.

What's more, through such a change, Gao Xianxing was separated from the sequence of officials in the East Palace, and no longer had a nominal parallel status with officials outside the palace.

It is also under the jurisdiction of the various ministries, and is purely subordinate to the work.

Thinking about it, although Gao Xianxing was dissatisfied, but the appointment came from the emperor, he couldn't do it.

The emperor thinks that if Gao Jun pushes Guo Zhizhao upwards, then this person must have excellent personal ability, but Gao Jun's pace is a little too fast, which is unfavorable for the two young people.

He said that he wanted to consult Guo Xiaoke's opinion, but he did not take action, which invisibly made Guo Beizhao the only person to be selected for the post of secretary of the Ministry of War, and it was only a matter of time.

In case Guo Xiaoke knew about this, the emperor didn't know if he would understand, but,
