Chapter 373: Songtsen Gampo's Troubles

"Are you sure? Have you ever asked Taichang Siqing, is it the one who came up to dance and play when his father held a celebration banquet a few days ago? ”

Chang Si nodded: "Yes, the old slave asked, it's that person." ”

"How so?" Li Chengqian didn't want to believe this result, and there was a tendency to collapse, and his face was incredulous.

"How so? is so beautiful that a person is... Male? ”

It's as if learning that your own goddess is actually a big. Like a cute girl, the huge sense of disparity made Li Chengqian almost fall to the ground, and he couldn't accept this result at all.

Seeing that Li Chengqian's state was a little wrong, Chang Si had no choice but to comfort him: "Your Highness, don't worry, there are countless women in the world, there must be women who meet Your Highness's wishes, Your Highness doesn't have to be sad for one person to come here, the old slave will prepare for Your Highness, collect beauties from all over the world, and include them in His Highness's bedroom..."

Chang Si saw that Li Chengqian covered his face and did not react, thinking that he acquiesced, so he got up, bowed down and slowly withdrew from the hall, just when he was about to turn around and go out, Li Chengqian suddenly stopped him.

"Wait!"

Chang Si turned around: "What else does Your Highness command?" ”

Li Chengqian's expression was hideous, as if he had made some great determination, grinned and gritted his teeth to squeeze out a few words from his mouth.

"Lone doesn't believe he's a man, bring it back and let Lone take a good look!"

Chang Si's face twitched, but he still responded to Li Chengqian's words. "Yes! The old slave understood. ”

After speaking, Chang Si retreated respectfully, but Li Chengqian was extremely irritable, called a beautiful woman, hugged her and vented directly on the seat......

Li Chengqian indulged in excessive lust in the palace, but the other person was worried about his "lower body" in the desolate area to the west.

Since Songtsen Gampo fought a big defeat with the Tang army a month ago, his mental state was sluggish, and when he returned to Tibet, he heard that many tribes were attacked by the Tang army, and he vomited out a mouthful of old blood, fell off his horse, and recuperated for a month before he recovered.

Because of the defeat in the battle with the Tang army, Tubo can be said to have suffered a great loss of vitality.

In recent years, Tibet has experienced several battles, large and small, although it has accumulated some wealth by looting, but the loss of people's power is too great, especially in the first battle with the Tang Army, the army of 200,000 people, when it comes back, there are only more than 100,000, for a country with few people, it is almost a fatal injury, if there is no more than ten or twenty years of recuperation, I am afraid it will not be able to recover.

Fortunately, the geographical environment of Tubo has set up a natural barrier for him, keeping the Tang army out, not to mention other small countries, and no country that is not open to the eyes will dare to hit the attention of the Tubo people.

Although there is no crisis for the time being, Songtsen Gampo is still white-headed.

Because the losses in this battle are too great! There have been many voices of opposition within Tibet.

Songtsen Gampo was too young to convince the public, and the reason for this campaign against Tang was because he wanted to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, such an absurd reason led to such a heavy loss in Tibet.

How many families have been broken and how many tribes have been destroyed. If no one disagrees, that's an anomaly.

Even some important ministers who originally supported Songtsen Gampo are now shaken in their hearts.

In short, the interior of Tibet is now in chaos, and Songtsen Gampo has to worry about whether any of his ministers will suddenly raise troops to rebel when he sleeps every night.

After more than a month of such fear, Songtsen Gampo finally did not intend to continue to be ill, and forced himself to get up, and sent someone to invite his first adviser, Lu Dongzan, to discuss the matter.

Since January, Songtsen Gampo has been sick and bedridden, and almost all things in Tibet are Lu Dongzan busy, dealing with so many things every day, comforting the restless tribes everywhere, and Lu Dongzan has lost a lot of weight in a month. When he saw Songtsen Gampo, he just arched his hand casually. "Minister, I've seen Zampu!"

"The prime minister doesn't have to be polite! During this time, the king was sick in bed, thanks to the prime minister's attention to the affairs of the court, and the king was quite courtesy. ”

Saying that, Songtsen Gampo really saluted Lu Dongzan.

Lu Dongzan likes the Confucian culture of the Tang Dynasty, and attaches more importance to this set, and when he saw Songtsen Gampo saluting him, his attitude was so upright, he couldn't help but redden, and felt that the effort during this period of time was worth it.

"Zampu, this... The ministers can't accept it, they can't accept it. ”

Songtsen Gampo waved his hand, "The prime minister doesn't need to say much, just accept this gift." In fact, the prime minister was called here today, because there was a matter to discuss, and the prime minister's external injuries had not healed, so we sat down and discussed. ”

"Good!" Lu Dongzan sat down with Songtsen Gampo, and sake was poured for them. After the two clinked glasses, Lu Dongzan spoke first.

"Zampu, let the ministers guess, summoning the ministers to come today, but for the sake of the unstable morale of many ministers in the DPRK and China today?"

"Yes! The prime minister really understands me. Songtsen Gampo put down his wine and couldn't wait to ask: "Since the prime minister has spoken, does he already have a plan to deal with it?" ”

Lu Dongzan stroked his beard, shook his head, and nodded again.

Songtsen Gampo was puzzled and asked, "What does the prime minister mean by this?" Is there a way, or is there no way? ”

Lu Dong sighed at the wine, let people pour another glass of wine, wiped his beard after drinking it all, thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan, but this plan may not be effective, it depends on the will of God." ”

Songtsen Gampo's eyes lit up, and his body turned to the side of Lu Dongzan. "What ploy? Prime Minister But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Lu Dongzan pointed to the east mysteriously and was silent.

Songtsen Gampo was puzzled, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly said in surprise: "What the prime minister means... Datang? ”

Lu Dongzan nodded: "That's right, Zampu, if you want to consolidate your power now, you must get the canonization of the Tang King, so that even if some ministers in the court are dissatisfied, there is no reason to oppose it." ”

"No! This is absolutely not a no-go! Songtsen Gampo shook his head repeatedly. If the Tang King is canonized, wouldn't he want the king to bow down to Li Shimin? Where will this put the king? Where to put Tibet? Absolutely not! ”

Songtsen Gampo directly rejected Lu Dongzan's idea, and it was absolutely impossible for him to bow down to the Tang Dynasty.

Although the Tang army could not be defeated on the frontal battlefield in Tibet, the Tang army could not enter Tibet.

Since the Tang army had no choice but to Tubo, why did he call himself a minister and do that thing to surrender his identity? Isn't that a joke? Don't those under him disobey him even more?

"Neither nor not!" Lu Dongzan touched his beard and smiled and corrected Songtsen Gampo's opinion.

"The old man didn't let Zampu surrender his identity and bow down to his subordinates, what the old man meant... And pro! Continue to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty to ask for peace. ”

Songtsen Gampo .......

"Does Zampu think the old man is crazy? King Tang has already rejected us twice, and we have lost a battle because of this, why should we ask for peace again? ”

Songtsen Gampo nodded wordlessly.

Lu Dongzan touched his beard, his eyes narrowed into a line, and he suddenly got up and knelt down in front of Songtsen Gampo.

"Zampu, this time the old man personally went to the Tang Dynasty to propose to Li Shimin, if this matter can be done, then Zampu's position will be stable, minister, please recommend yourself!"
