990 Guilty of petitioning
As soon as Liu Yuan's words fell, Songtsen Gampo and a few henchmen and ministers lowered their heads, although they were a little unwilling, but they still walked in front of Li Er, and all of them knelt down at once, and some of the lost voices shouted: "Tubo Songtsan Gampo, see Tian Khan." ”
On Qinling, Chisang Yangdun and others also shouted: "See Tian Khan." ”
Li Er's prestige among ethnic minorities and nomadic tribes is very high, and he is enshrined as the Khan of the Heavens, meaning the co-lord of the world, Songtsan Gampo is called so, it is also reasonable, although he is the king of the country, but Bi is the king, Songtsan Gampo was persuaded by Liu Yuan to surrender, Liu Yuan also gave him due treatment and dignity, although he is a prisoner of the order, but Songtsan Gampo is neatly and cleanly dressed, although the face has a decadent color, but still maintains a bit of the majesty of Tubo Zampu.
Seeing the once aggressive Songtsan Gampo kneeling in front of him like this, and the enemy who had made him uncomfortable finally surrendered to himself, Li Er had an inexplicable sense of excitement in his heart, especially Songtsan Gampo succumbed in front of the civil and military ministers and the people, and the sense of accomplishment in his heart was stronger, for a man, the greatest pleasure was to conquer and possess, the heroic master of the Tang Dynasty conquered Tubo, erased Tubo from the map, merged it into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, conquered the enemy, and possessed everything they had, even if you don't want to be proud.
Seeing a group of Tubo people kneeling on the ground, Li Er did not immediately let them stand up, but asked with a serious face: "Songtsen Gampo, I ask you, are you guilty?" ”
If Songtsen Gampo was riding on a war horse, holding a sharp blade in his hand, and followed by hundreds of thousands of elite Tubo elite horsemen, he would definitely laugh at Li Er's ignorance and whimsy, but he became the king and lost the king, and the Tubo lost, and he lost in a mess. Unless Tibet also has a fire gun or a way to defend against fire and gunpowder, otherwise, even if there are a million more cavalry, it will be useless, for the safety of the family, I have to bow my head, I have to respectfully say: "Confession"
"Oh, tell me, then, where is this sin?" Li Er still didn't let him go, and continued to ask aloud.
The Tang Dynasty and Tubo have a long-standing grudge. In fact, long before the war between the two countries, Li Er hated Songtsen Gampo very much, as a heavenly khan, he deserved everyone's respect, and Li Er also liked the feeling of being respected. However, Songtsen Gampo held the strong horses of the Tibetan soldiers, and the Tang Dynasty did not crack the method of plateau warfare at that time, so Songtsen Gampo became more and more arrogant. Repeatedly did not listen to the announcement. On many occasions that should have appeared, he couldn't come because of his illness, and he couldn't ask for relatives, so he went directly to Kou Songzhou, and slapped the face of "Tian Khan" with a bang, Li Er, who had a good face. Can you not nest fire?
Coupled with the subsequent actions such as destroying relatives and slaughtering the city, it has long been irreconcilable, and for this reason, in the case of extremely tight treasury. used the method of issuing bonds to resolutely send troops to Tubo, and now that the culprit is in front of him, Li Er naturally no longer gives him half face.
There are many reasons, the most direct reason is that Datang is the winner of this war.
"Know" Songtsen Gampo lowered his head and said with a look of shame: "I was blinded by the traitors, and I did many things that were unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty, and committed many unforgivable mistakes, and I was worthy of the trust and support of the Heavenly Khan. ”
Songtsan Gampo was so refreshing and soft, but it was beyond Li Er's expectations, looking at Songtsan Gampo kneeling on the ground, he hesitated for a while, and the eldest grandson Wuji knew Li Er's concerns, and immediately offered advice: "Your Majesty, this matter is a big matter, we need to think about it in the long run, according to the humble opinion of Wei Chen, we can find a quiet place, first settle the Songtsan Gampo family, and the other people will be imprisoned separately, and we will find out clearly, and then deal with it separately." ”
"What Uncle Guo said is very true" Li Er nodded, and ordered loudly: "There is a house in Shengye Yuan, and the Songtsen Gampo family will be temporarily imprisoned there, and the rest of the people will all be put into the heavenly prison and left for trial. ”
For a while, I don't know how to deal with Songtsan Gampo, it is impossible to let him go, let the tiger return to the mountain, the aftermath is endless, and it is not cost-effective to kill him, Songtsan Gampo is still valuable for the Tang Dynasty, and it cannot be easily discarded, and if Songtsan Gampo is killed, then there will be a battle, and those enemies will not surrender easily, because they will think that even if they surrender, they will not escape death, which will arouse their will to die, and there is also an ominous saying about killing prisoners in ancient times.
The best way to do that is to lock him up and talk about it as the situation becomes.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
When Songtsen Gampo was escorted away, he saluted Li Er and said with some gratitude: "Thank you Khan for mercy." ”
Soon, there were guards of the forbidden army to take over, and all the Songtsen Gampo and his party were taken away and detained separately, and the treatment was completely different, Songtsen Gampo was a royal family, Li Er had preferential treatment for this, and the family could live in a house in Shengye Yuan, while the rest were not so lucky, and they were all imprisoned in the prison.
Fortunately, it's a prison, not a death row.
"It's really relieving to see Songtsen Gampo end up like this." Xiao Yu said happily on the side.
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said: "What they did was to die ten times, but they will be detained for the time being to assist in the investigation." ”
"Capture Tubo Zampu, so that the four realms are flat, and the emperor's merits are immeasurable"
"All of a sudden, such a large territory, Your Majesty, congratulations"
Everyone, you say a word, I say a word, and Yu Chi Jingde also said happily: "I didn't expect Songtsan Gampo to go so smoothly, and I didn't know that Liu Yuan, this kid, persuaded him so much." ”
"Yang Weijun, it's really very powerful, it's not okay if you don't accept it."
"General Yangwei is the lucky star of our Tang Dynasty."
After Songtsen Gampo and his entourage were escorted away, everyone first sighed, sang praises for a while, and began to praise the Yangwei Army and his party with icing on the cake, among which there were also many powerful people, sent their sons to the Yangwei Army, and began to look at the crowd, suddenly, someone shouted: "Hey, where is General Liu, why is it gone?" ”
"yes, I don't think I saw him in a while."
After being mentioned, everyone woke up, it is true that they haven't seen Liu Yuan for a while, by the way, when Liu Yuan reported to Li Eryu that he had caught Songzan and his party, when Li Er interrogated, he left, what did everyone do for him, but I didn't expect him to never return, where did he go at such an important moment?
Li Er's face twitched, and he said with some displeasure: "Where is General Yangwei?" ”
Cui Jing was also a little speechless, this Liu Yuan is really presumptuous, where did he run at this important moment? If it were someone else, Cui Shangshu would not have waded into this troubled water, but this person is Liu Yuan, his son-in-law, who just said that he was half a character, and he couldn't ignore it, so he had to speak for him hard-headed: "I guess I have to deal with something or my health is ill." ”
Just when everyone was wondering, suddenly, someone shouted: "Hey, isn't that General Liu?" What is he going to do? ”
"Ah, this is"
"Imitate the ancients?"
"What is this for?"
Not only were the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty surprised, but Cui Jing and Li Er were also so surprised that Liu Yuan was speechless, and the people of the Tang Dynasty who were watching on the sidelines were talking one after another, pointing at Liu Yuan, and the learned old pedant began to show off his knowledge: "You see, this is called the guilt of Jing Petition, this allusion comes from the Zhao State during the Warring States Period, when Zhao was a powerful country, Wen Youlin Xiangru, Wu Youlian Po, one Wen and one Wu, Lin Xiangru set up a few big officials, and the official position was above Lian Po, for this reason, the general Lian Po was dissatisfied, repeatedly threatened to give Lin Xiangru a good look, and after Lin Xiangru knew, he repeatedly avoided it, making General Lian even more proud and indulgent, and later inadvertently learned the truth, knowing that he had misunderstood, so Lian Po went to Lin Xiangru to admit his mistake"
The old man in the crowd was foaming at the mouth, and Xiao Cui Shangshu was breaking his glasses: Liu Yuanzheng was shirtless, carrying a few pieces of firewood on his back, and walked towards Li Er with a resolute face, this is the Tang Dynasty version of the guilt of Jing Plea?
Liu Yuan, a great hero who has made countless meritorious contributions, what kind of mistakes did he make and need to do this?
Li Er's face twitched, and he didn't understand what Liu Yuan was going to do.
"General Liu, you, what are you doing here? You are a hero of the Tang Dynasty, isn't the general drunk? Li Chengqian, the crown prince who followed to greet Yang Weijun, asked Liu Yuandao curiously.
Liu Yuan said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen has done a wrong thing, if the emperor does not punish him, Liu will have no shame to step into Chang'an City half a step." ”
What is so serious? Li Chengqian was taken aback, and when he wanted to ask, Liu Yuan had already walked up to Li Er, knelt on one knee, and said with a straight face: "See the emperor." ”
Li Er was also thundered by Liu Yuan, this was obviously an event to welcome the heroes, and the wine was ready, but I didn't expect Liu Yuan to suddenly make such a show, and couldn't help frowning and said, "General Liu, what are you doing here?" ”
"The minister is guilty, please punish the emperor." Liu Yuan said loudly.
"Oh, what are you guilty of?" Li Er's face moved, and he immediately asked.
For a while, the audience was silent, not only the civil and military officials were dumbfounded, but also the people of Chang'an, but they were even more silent, holding their breath one by one, stretching out their ears, ready to listen to what mistakes this already legendary general had made, and what was the purpose of his guilt.
"Miss, uncle, what's wrong with him?" Chun'er in the crowd asked Cui Mengyao with a nervous face.
The people of Chang'an can come, and the family members of the Liu Mansion can naturally come, seeing such an abnormal scene, all the women are stunned.
The little lady was also nervous and pulled Cui Mengyao's sleeve and said, "Sister Mengyao, senior brother, nothing will happen to the senior brothers, right?" ”
Not only Xiaoniang was worried, but Du Sanniang, Hu Xin, Pei Jingyan and others were also worried, today they came to greet Liu Yuan to see what kind of scenery their husbands or husbands are like, but they didn't expect Liu Yuan to suddenly come up with the crime of pleading Jing, which scared all the women at once.
Cui Mengyao shook his head and said: "I don't know about this matter, but it's all good news recently, I haven't heard of any setbacks for the Tang army, is it a collapse of sixty miles?" It's not right, that should be the responsibility of General Hou, no matter how capable Xiang Gong is, he is only the one who commands the Yangwei Army, which is strange. (To be continued......)
