People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 921
When Daniel came to the steps of the Potala Palace, he looked up and saw that there were nearly a thousand steps.

Songtsen Gampo has spent a lot of time building the Potala Palace in recent years.

A young man wearing clothes from the Central Plains was about to walk up to the Potala Palace, which attracted the attention of the surrounding Tibetans.

Daniu walked up the steps step by step towards the Potala Palace.

Dabula Palace is the holy place built by Songtsan Gampo. If a person from the Central Plains wants to go up, he will soon attract the guards here.

It's just that the guard was drunk away by a warrior who came down from the Potala Palace as soon as he arrived.

The warrior saluted Daniel and said, "Zanpu is waiting for you up there."

Daniel stopped and said, "I see, thank you for letting me know."

After speaking, Daniel turned his head and glanced at the steps he had climbed, unknowingly it was already so high.

After standing still and resting for a while, Daniel continued to climb up under the eyes of so many Tubo people.

Today's Potala Palace has not been fully completed, and you can only see that there are many places where masons are busy when you go up.

The wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger, and Daniel continues to climb up against the wind and snow. I really hope that the teacher can come here to have a look.

Braving the wind and snow, Daniel walked for half an hour before reaching the top of the steps.

On the top is a platform, where many Tubo monks sat cross-legged in the wind and snow.

Daniel looked around again but did not see Songtsan Gampo.

A monk came over and said in Guanzhong dialect: "Little general, this way please, Zanpu is inside."

Daniel followed the young monk into a nearby hut.

Songtsan Gampo was sitting here wearing loose and loose clothes.

Daniel saluted slightly, "I've seen Zanpu."

Songtsan Gampo looked up at Daniel, "Compared to the last time I saw you, you have grown taller again."

Daniel said: "It's the age to grow taller."

Songtsan Gampo said, "It happens that I have something to ask you. Please sit down."

Daniel sat cross-legged in front of Songtsan Gampo.

Seeing that Daniel was not so out of touch, Songtsan Gampo smiled in relief, "After so many years, there is one thing that I have always wondered about."

Daniel said: "Zanpu, please tell me."

Songtsan Gampo held a parchment in his hand and said in a low voice, "Do you think Li Zheng and I are enemies or friends?"

Seeing Daniel's puzzled expression, Songtsan Gampo said again: "After so many years, there seems to be no deep or deep hatred between Li Zheng and I."

Daniel said: "But if Zanpu and the teacher sing to wine together, the scene will look very awkward."

Songtsan Gampo smiled bitterly, "I think so too. Li Zheng and I are not enemies, but rivals."

Daniel looked at his expression and said, "The Potala Palace is about to be built."

"It will take some time, maybe a few years, maybe in the spring of next year."

Songtsen Gampo said in a low voice.

Putting down the parchment in his hand, Songtsan Gampo picked up another parchment and said, "Where have you been these days?"

Daniel said: "According to the teacher's arrangement, I went to a place to do some things."

"Even if I asked, you wouldn't say what you did."

Daniel nodded.

"really."

Songtsen Gampo looked at the oil lamp in front of him and said, "You Central Plains will write the emperors of all dynasties into the annals of history. If I, Songtsan Gampo, are written into the annals of history, what kind of person do you think Songtsen Gampo will be written into?"

Daniel said: "The teacher is not a person who cares about the reputation behind him. Now in Guanzhong, some people say that the teacher is a good person, and some people say that the teacher is a heinous person, but the teacher never cares about those voices, but lives freely."

"Live freely..."

Songtsan Gampo sighed with emotion.

Daniel went on to say: "However, as Zanpu of Tubo, you have quelled the civil strife in Tubo and united all the tribes. You have done a good job."

"Am I doing well?"

Songtsan Gampo laughed at himself and said: "The wars have been going on all these years, and the people in Tubo are almost finished fighting. We can only walk together."

Daniel looked down at the scrolls on Songtsan Gampo's desk and said, "Are you studying Guanzhong characters?"

"I didn't expect you to understand Tubo characters now?"

Daniel said: "Actually, I don't really understand it. Now that Tubo has been pacified, you need to unify Tubo's writing and language. Now is what you want to do."

Songtsan Gampo nodded, "What do you think the Tubo will do in the future?"

Daniel thought for a while and said, "What does Zanpu want from Tubo?"

"Of course I want Tubo to become stronger."

"powerful?"

Daniel looked at Songtsan Gampo's expression and said: "Let me tell Zanpu this way, even if Zanpu has an army of [-], he is no match for the teacher. Tubo corpses are strewn all over the field, no matter how many lives you Tubo use to fill it, you are no match for the teacher."

"Sounds desperate, doesn't it?" Daniel said with a smile.

Songtsan Gampo's expression was not very good.

Daniel said again: "When the knowledge reaches another level, you and the teacher perceive the world differently. This is where you, Songtsan Gampo, are at a disadvantage."

Songtsen Gampo said, "Is it because of science?"

"I'm just giving you a piece of advice. Tubo can't force its troops. Apart from the teacher, Li Shimin is also plotting against Tubo. Tubo is located in the west of the Central Plains. As long as you get Tubo, there will be no more wars in the west of the Central Plains. This is also Li Shimin's ambition. Saying that Li Shimin will let you go, even the teacher can make you Tubo despair."

"I'm not exaggerating. The power in the hands of the teacher is beyond what Songtsen Gampo can imagine. That doesn't mean that the teacher has much power, but the power in the hands of the teacher that you can't overcome."

Daniel looked at Fengxue outside the window and said: "If you want to make Tubo rich and powerful, you must first abandon warfare, reduce Tubo's troops as much as possible, and surrender to the Tang Dynasty."

vassal?Songtsen Gampo's eyes obviously flashed a trace of hostility.

Daniel said again: "Do as I said, this will have two benefits for Tubo, the combination of Tubo and the Central Plains can form the strongest northwest frontier defense, and can hold down the entire Western Regions, there will be no more wars west of the Central Plains, There will be no more wars going north to the Western Regions, and no one will dare to easily offend when going south."

"Tibetan will enjoy hundreds of years of peace. This peace is too important to you. You Songtsan Gampo can govern Tibet as much as you can. The Central Plains will not interfere. Everyone lives in harmony. Tubo is included in the territory of the Central Plains. You can govern with peace of mind Tibet."

Songtsen Gampo said with a disappointed expression: "If you hand over Tubo to the Central Plains, my previous life, Songtsan Gampo, would have been in vain."
