People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 197 Road Construction Ten Kilometers

After reading Li Zheng's memorial, Li Shimin found that although some methods had never been used before, these methods still seemed a little unreasonable.

But it works so well.

Let Lu Dongzan recite the covenant in front of all Chang'an people.

Let everyone in Chang'an know the contents of the covenant.

Let Datang stand in the correct and just direction.

Fang Xuanling felt a big gap in her heart.

Rich in the country, Li Shimin, as an emperor, wanted to bring the world's talents under his command.

In this world, it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son, and scholars are monopolized by the aristocratic family.

The aristocratic family has grasped the opportunity for people to read and write.

But there is such an outlier as Li Zheng.

Li Shimin told Fang Xuanling: "The Ministry of Zhongshu has set the regulations, and the Ministry of Rites will arrange the next signing of the covenant."

Fang Xuanling bowed and said, "I will make arrangements now."

Although Lu Dongzan returned to Chang'an with a heavy heart, at least he still had hope.

Li Zheng's deal sounds complicated at first, but it's actually not that difficult when you understand it.

Seems like a really lucrative business.

Such a cheap thing fell on my head, now I think I can go back to Tubo, and I feel a little happy.

The price of Zamp must not be paid in vain.

Lu Dongzan encouraged himself, and he must do a lot in Tubo to make Tubo flourish.

Li Chongyi came to the posthouse and said to Lu Dongzan: "Have you thought about it?"

Lu Dongzan sat upright, "Think it over."

Li Chongyi smiled and said, "I heard that the current situation in Tubo is severe."

Lu Dongzan nodded without hesitation.

The court also understood that it would not be good for Datang to push Tubo into a hurry.

It is best to wait for work with ease, and Datang still needs to take a good rest for a period of time to reorganize its national strength, and this is the same for Tubo.

Now Tubo has been quelling civil strife for many years, and now Tubo has to face the long battle of Tuyuhun.

Also this year, Datang just ended the Battle of Yinshan and the Battle of Liangzhou.

Datang and Tubo need a break too much.

This time the letter of credence was sent to Chang'an, it seemed that Li Shimin's expression was very calm, Li Chongyi knew that Songtsan Gampo had completely annoyed His Majesty this time.

The relationship between Tubo and Datang could not be better.

Now that His Majesty the Tang Dynasty is the Khan of Heaven, this is the time for the young to show their ambitions.

Songtsen Gampo's threat to release people is no different from declaring war.

People can be released, but there will inevitably be a war between Datang and Tubo in the future.

Who is the overlord on this land.

Take out a covenant.Li Chongyi said: "After you draw a mark on this first, take it back to Tubo, and let Songtsan Gampo seal it and send it over."

Lu Dongzan made a pledge on the covenant.

Li Chongyi said again: "You have to read the content of this contract yourself on Zhuque Street, and then you will be free."

Lu Dongzan looked at Li Chongyi and said, "Why?"

"I'm not afraid that you Tubo will go back on their word."

Lu Dongzan's black face, this covenant is his own confession, and Tubo's confession.

"Can I not read it?"

"You don't need to read it, you can go back to Dali Temple and stay there."

"Are you trying to embarrass me, Chang'an?"

Li Chongyi said to Lu Dongzan: "Actually, Li Zheng gave Your Majesty a memorial yesterday, and it was Li Zheng who suggested that Your Majesty ask you to do this."

"Li Zheng?" Lu Dongzan was puzzled.

"You should also meet Li Zheng." Li Chongyi said, with hints in his words.

Lu Dongzan's expression was full of reluctance.

Li Chongyi said again: "Since we have a covenant, we must rest assured of each other."

"I read it!" Lu Dongzan said loudly.

On Zhuque Avenue in Chang'an, a high platform was built here.

The residents of Chang'an looked at the scene curiously, surrounded by high platforms and officers and soldiers, is something going to happen?
Lu Dongzan was led up to the high platform by Li Chongyi, trembling all over with the covenant in his hand.

Li Chongyi said to him: "Read it."

Open the covenant and face the crowd of onlookers.

Lu Dongzan kept silent.

In the distance, there were still people beating gongs and drums to announce that it was too much for the residents to come out to watch the show.

Seeing this scene, Lu Dongzan's face darkened even more.

It was Xu Jingzong who was beating the gong, shouting hard.

Lu Dongzan held up the covenant and read in a low voice: "Today, I, General Lu Dongzan of Tubo, offended the Tang Dynasty..."

"Stop!" Li Chongyi told Lu Dongzan to stop and asked curiously, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat." Lu Dongzan nodded and said, more and more people were watching, and at this moment, he was praying in his heart that it would end soon, and he wanted to get into the cracks in the ground.

Li Chongyi said: "Since you have eaten, read it louder and don't act like someone who has not eaten. Others will think that we have mistreated you."

Lu Dongzan began to read aloud.

"stop!"

Being interrupted again, Li Chongyi said: "Isn't your Guanzhong dialect very good? Read it in Guanzhong dialect."

Lu Dongzan read loudly and quickly in Guanzhong dialect: "I, Tubo General Lu Dongzan, offended the Tang Dynasty and stole the Tang Dynasty's city defense layout. This crime should be beheaded. Today, His Majesty Rende is willing to let me go back to my homeland, with Qinghai as the boundary... ..."

Lu Dongzan read from beginning to end in one breath,
The onlookers were silent for a long time, followed by jeers.

I don't know who threw a rotten egg on Lu Dongzan's face.

In the mood of protecting the frontier, even civilians are the same.

There are even people throwing rotten leaves.

Seeing this scene, Xu Jingzong said with emotion, "As the county lord said, the folk customs of the Tang Dynasty are simple, such simple people of the Tang Dynasty."

There are also many people who proudly straightened their spines.

When the onlookers heard that Tubo was about to cede land and lose money, there was a burst of cheers.

There were also voices of cursing, those who scolded Lu Dongzan, and those who scolded Tubo.

If eyes can kill people, Lu Dongzan might have died tens of thousands of times standing on the high platform now.

Everyone knows that Tubo will cede land and lose money from now on.

Lu Dongzan is guilty of a crime, and he will be escorted back to Dali Temple for trial at any time.

Li Chongyi pondered and said: "Do you want to read it again? It's a bit too fast, and there is no emotion or regret."

Lu Dongzan looked aggrieved and trembled all over, "I have to read it again, I will crash my head in front of you right now."

Li Chongyi quickly said: "Okay, that's it."

Taking Lu Dongzan down the high platform, a grand release ceremony.

Li Chongyi sent officers and soldiers to escort Lu Dongzan all the way out of Chang'an City.

Walking out of Chang'an City step by step, Lu Dongzan still felt a little unreal in his heart.

He was imprisoned in the dungeon of Dali Temple for more than three months, and now he came out unharmed.

Stamping hard on the ground under his feet, Lu Dongzan endured the throbbing and looked at Chang'an City in the distance.

Li Zheng, who was in Jingyang, had just received a mission prompt at this moment.

Mission completed: Reclaiming [-] acres of wasteland
Task reward: the second stage of the library.

New mission release: road construction ten kilometers

Mission reward: [-] tons of iron ore

Looking at this task, Li Zheng was in a cold sweat.
