Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Money touches people's hearts, Li Qinzai just happened to be short of money recently, Lu Dongzan can be said to be generous in his offer, if someone else sends him, he will agree to the big things.

It's a pity that the Tibetans who gave the gifts, theoretically speaking, Datang and Tubo are enemies, but they have been unable to do anything to each other for many years, forming a strategic confrontation.

Under such circumstances, if Li Qinzai accepted Lu Dongzan's gift, he would be a traitor and a traitor.

And Zahele's request was even more excessive.

Bohai Lake grazing is a seemingly simple request, but as long as you open the map, you will find that Bohai Lake is located in the territory of Tuyuhun, not far from the Jishi Mountain where the two countries fought fiercely, and belongs to the hinterland of Tuyuhun.

If Tubo herders are allowed to graze in Baihai Lake, it is equivalent to letting Japanese people come to the suburbs of Chang'an to build a city. What the hell are you thinking about...

Li Qinzai would not naively think that when Lu Dongzan proposed grazing in Bohai Lake, a group of pure and innocent Tibetan herdsmen came here. They downloaded songs and danced in the blue sky and white clouds grassland, like a group of happy little pigeons, spreading the breath of peace...

Li Qinzai knew very well that the so-called allowing Tubo herdsmen to graze was actually Lu Dongzan's test of Datang.

It is an iron fact that Tuyuhun has been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but Tubo has been coveting Tuyuhun for many years. Lu Dongzan planned for a long time ago, and tried to occupy Tuyuhun with the whole country, but later his plan was destroyed by Li Qinzai , In the end Datang picked up a big bargain.

Years of hard work, but making wedding clothes for others, is Lu Dongzan willing?
The so-called "grazing" is just an implicit statement. Lu Dongzan's real intention is to "co-govern", and the Tang and Tubo co-govern Tuyuhun.

This is why until today, there are still Tubo troops pretending to be bandits in Tuyuhun, looting everywhere in Tuyuhun, fighting against the local tribes and the Tang army.

Lu Dongzan has not given up on the layout, and is still coveting the land of Tuyuhun.Even though it has been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, Lu Dongzan believes that Tubo still has a chance before the Tang Dynasty fully digests the newly acquired land.

Li Qinzai couldn't help feeling a little bored.

Why do all the envoys come to visit him with malicious intentions, and the conditions they put forward are all hidden intentions. What's more, they seem to think he is a fool, and they can't see their intentions...

This is a bit of an insult to IQ.

In addition, they thought that he would agree to do things if they gave him a little gift, which was a bit insulting.

Therefore, these two guys came to visit him, which not only insulted his personality, but also insulted his IQ...

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Li Qinzai took a deep breath.

Interestingly, Tashile also took a deep breath.The two are in sync.

Li Qinzai categorically rejected the first thing before he finished speaking. Of course Tashile was uncomfortable, and he wanted to get mad but didn't dare.

Seeing Li Qinzai's resolute expression, Tashile couldn't learn to bow and beg like Fujiwara Yuno, so he simply didn't mention this matter.

Just about to say the second thing, Li Qinzai waved his hand.

"Your envoy should be clear before entering Chang'an that I am just a county magistrate appointed by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I do not have any official position or power. Whatever the envoys of your two countries say needs to be approved by the emperor and the courtiers..."

"The person you are looking for is the prime minister of the court, or the minister of the Ministry of Rites, the minister of Honglu Temple, etc. Why are you looking for me, who has no official power?"

Tashile said with a blank expression: "I don't know, but before I set out from Tubo, I got the instruction of the Prime Minister Lu Dongzan, and the Prime Minister told me that after entering Chang'an, I must pay a visit to Li County Duke. Regardless of color, in short, Tubo is willing to pay the price, and ask Li Xiangong to lobby the emperor of Tang Dynasty."

"Why me? Do I look easy to talk to?" Li Qinzai asked in puzzlement.

Tashi Le shook his head, and said again: "The prime minister said that although County Duke Li of the Tang Dynasty has no official power, his words have weight in front of the emperor, and the emperor accepts all advice from County Lord Li."

"Duke Li County has advised the emperor no less than a dozen times in these years, and the emperor has readily accepted it every time. If Duke Li County is willing to help Tubo, it will be more useful than asking the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty."

"The Prime Minister also said that even though Li Xiangong has no official position, he can be said to be a minister in white in the Tang Dynasty. His power is no less than that of the prime minister of the current dynasty, or even surpassed."

Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes.

Tubo and Chang'an are separated by thousands of miles, and according to the meaning of Tashile's words, Lu Dongzan, who is far away in Tubo, seems to know the number and content of Li Zhi's admonitions in these years.

Oh, this is interesting, there are bad people among the masses.

Seeing that Li Qinzai was silent, Tashile tentatively said: "Mr. Li, everything is negotiable. Tubo doesn't ask much, and it doesn't have any malice towards Datang. I have a few herdsmen in Tubo passing through the border to graze. As long as the local Tang army is open Just close your eyes."

"Mr. Li County can put forward conditions, whether it's wealth, beauty, rare treasures, or the prime minister..."

Li Qinzai said with a smirk: "My Tang Dynasty also wants to send a group of farmers to grow barley and herd horses in your Tubo territory. I wonder if your prime minister will agree?"

Tahile was taken aback for a moment, and his expression suddenly became ugly.

Li Qinzai sighed: "Back then Princess Wencheng and his relative Songtsan Gampo had a deep friendship between our two countries. Unexpectedly, today, Tubo is plotting against us everywhere. The friendship from that year is really gone."

"Your envoy, please go back. We have nothing to talk about. Since Tuyuhun has been accepted by our Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to allow outsiders to covet me. If you still want to, our two countries may wish to start a war again. The winner For Kou, the loser of the king, bring my words to your prime minister, let him choose."

Tashi Le was speechless, and when he came to the door today, Tubo actually asked for more than one thing, but Li Qinzai obviously lost his patience and didn't want to continue talking nonsense with him. Anyway, he would not agree to anything, so why waste your time.

…………

Tashile left with a resigned expression on his face.

Li Qinzai didn't care, he knew that Tubo had been dancing for a few years, and Lu Dongzan had always been Tubo's magic needle, but the body of this magic needle had gradually become weak and sick, and it took only a year or two to die.

As long as Lu Dongzan is dead, Tubo will fall into various power struggles and internal friction, and will no longer be able to make trouble outside.

It has to be admitted that a country's luck and national power are often closely related to a certain leader. If a person is present, the tiger's prestige will prevail, and if a person dies, the country's fortune will decline.

After receiving guests, Li Qinzai was also a little tired.

Fighting with this group of barbarians is really exhausting, even more tiring than being used as cattle by Jinxiang. At least being a cattle for Jinxiang is tiring, but happy.

After walking out of the front hall, Li Qinzai walked around the courtyard and came to the side courtyard unknowingly.

Just about to go to the school to see how those little bastards were ravaged by Xuancheng, but suddenly heard suppressed crying.

Li Qinzai paused and quietly walked into the side yard.

Under a ginkgo tree in the side yard, Luye Zanliang dressed as a maid was drooping his head and wiping tears, while the Japanese envoy Fujiwara Yoshino was kneeling in front of her and weeping.

The picture is very touching, the reunion of the subjugated princess and the subjugated minister, there is no hope of restoring the country, the vicissitudes of life, looking back at the old mountains and rivers, everywhere is broken, and the flames of war are everywhere, I can only sigh.

Li Qinzai was also very moved.

What the hell, it became more and more prominent that he was a villain.

"Little Baga, go clean the toilet!" Li Qinzai shouted suddenly.

Lu Ye Zanliang, who was wiping away tears, trembled all over, and subconsciously ran towards the toilet.
