Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 298
Shen San asked again, "Will you really consider cooperating with Da Zhou?"

Lun Qinling nodded, "Tubo understands Dazhou, but not Dashi. If Dazhou agrees with Tubo to take a small share of the Western Regions, Tubo will never consider cooperating with other people."

It's a small cup, maybe it's a tiger's whole leg, Shen Sanwen cursed.

And what I need is not your cooperation, I need you to directly fight Dashi, do you understand?

"The territory is indivisible. The territory managed by the Great Zhou since ancient times will never allow other forces to get involved. This is my bottom line. Unless it comes to the day when the territory is no longer valuable, whoever abandons the territory and the efforts of the ancestors will have no future. A person's wealth is a sinner through the ages.

Although I Shen Sanwen didn't want to be famous in history, I also didn't want to leave an eternal infamy. "

Lun Qinling smiled lightly, "But I didn't think you were a person who cared about reputation."

Shen San asked with a smile, "How long have you known me, how do you know who I am. Even if I don't care, His Majesty doesn't care, there is always someone worthy of my care."

Lun Qinling drank another glass of sake, "Great Zhou does have the ability to fight on two fronts, but the war hasn't even started yet, the day is not over, and the outcome is always unknown. Is it possible to exchange financial resources for peace? Is it inappropriate for the precious human life?"

Shen San asked back, "Then why do you want the Tibetans to exchange their lives for the Western Regions? Isn't the life of the Tibetans valuable?"

Lun Qinling said with a smile, "Because their hard work today can bring about long-term peace on the plateau, even if they stay on the plateau, what awaits them is not happiness and peace, but life and death."

Shen Sanwen breathed out the aftertaste of hot tea, and the white air mixed with the fragrance of tea drifted in the room, "Why can't people in this world control their own life and death, and they must fight to survive. In fact, the potential of the land is huge, but The Tibetans can't take advantage of it."

Lun Qinling smiled and said, "If the envoy has a way, please teach me. Tubo will definitely remember the kindness of the kingdom."

Hmph, keep in mind the goodness of Shangguo, and then learn from Turks and make mistakes from time to time.

Could it be that the word "fool" written on my head, you want to deceive me like this?
Shen Sanwen gave him a sideways glance, "In the future, the small countries that are familiar with each other will all become one family, it's just a matter of time. Since you are willing to make trouble, then I won't interfere."

Lun Qinling nodded unexpectedly, "One day it won't be a bad thing."

Shen San asked to see that this person was a sensible person, and advised, "Others may not appreciate your kindness to others."

Although he knew it was useless, but he just didn't complain. If there was no talk about Qinling, little Zanpu would have said nothing about what he thought, and there would be no possibility of his request for food being granted.

Lun Qinling sighed, "I understand, it's rare to have such a pure heart like yours."

Shen Sanwen hurriedly stopped his next compliment, "Don't get me wrong, my innocence is only aimed at people in my big week, my compatriots."

Shen Sanwen felt that he was talking to death again.

It is not easy for two people with different positions to sit down and drink a glass of wine without arguing with each other, such a straightforward sentence.

It's enough to quench people's interest in chatting.

Fortunately, Lun Qinling really seemed to be here simply to drink, and he didn't expect to get any shocking secrets or good recipes for the world from Shen Sanwen.

He is already old, although he looks younger than Wu Zetian, his thoughts are much more decadent than Her Majesty the Empress.

Knowing that Chidu is no longer a child, but there is no way to convince himself to kill the master and stand on his own.

Knowing that this Zhou envoy is not a person who is aimless, but he dare not try. If Zhou envoy does not understand the land force and makes a wrong estimate, the interests of the Western Regions are still safe.

Shen Sanwen already had countermeasures while drinking tea.

"Are you worried that the big cannibals think that Tubo is double-faced, talking with them and receiving Zhou envoys at the same time, so they concealed my identity for me?"

Lun Qinling shook his head, "I hope to get news from you. If you can't provide it, the big cannibals will know everything about you tomorrow. Maybe they will think you are a dangerous person and don't want to let you go."

Shen Sanwen stroked his forehead, "I'm a soft-hearted person, and I've never been coerced. If anyone forces me to do something I don't want to do, I'm afraid that I will do something cruel and inhumane."

Why are the Tubo people so unreasonable and strong.

As a Chinese from the Heavenly Dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I definitely can't admit to being cowardly.

He was fully confident that Lun Qinling would not do anything to him.The purpose of Tubo is the Western Regions, and it is not a fight to the death with Da Zhou. If something happened to the envoy of Zhou in Tubo territory, no matter who did it, Tubo is the first person responsible.

"I'm full, let's go."

Shen San asked to leave first, drinking with an old man is meaningless.

On the premise that there will be no satisfactory results, it is not so easy to handle me.

Back at the post house, Shen Sanwen called the guards who went out together this time, and asked them to prepare some things. As long as things are done, the peace talks between Dashi and Tubo will never be successful.

Shen Sanwen first visited Prince Dashi in a swaggering Shangyiguan, and discussed scriptures with him.

Prince Dashi was very happy with his arrival, and he could discuss with the pioneers after a good rest. This kind of priest who respects the power of the monarch is also rare in China.

"Master, I have always been unclear about one thing, and I would like to ask you to explain it."

"Please say."

"As a prince, I am loved by my father. In the kingdom, only my younger brother and I have the right to inherit. My father prefers me. The reason is that I have a deeper understanding of the teachings, but I still don't understand some parts of the teachings very well. .

The priest appeased the people, and the leader told me that no matter rich or poor, I should be loyal to the Lord and endure suffering.

But my father also told me that the monarchy is granted by the Lord, only those who accumulate blessings can enjoy the monarchy and endure suffering appropriately, but don’t be too demanding on yourself, as long as you have respect and reverence for the Lord in your heart.The Holy See is a tool given to us by the Lord, and the Lord protects the royal court of the Umayyads.

I also don't understand who is right. If you regard the Holy See as a tool, is it a blasphemy against the Lord, and if you endure it but always get angry, is it a disloyalty to the Lord? "

Shen Sanwen naturally understood what the prince meant, it was nothing more than a dispute between the monarchy and the Holy See, just say something he likes to hear and it's over.

"The Lord is equal to all things, and it was precisely for this answer that I traveled far to the east.

Now I have realized it.

Dongtu Church has given me a lot of inspiration. The Lord asked us to practice this life and the afterlife, but what is this life and what is the afterlife.Everyone's present life is the next life of the previous life. People's hearts are changeable. There are always people who are nostalgic for the mortal world. One who endures suffering.

They are the spokespersons of the Lord in this life, not just missionaries, but everyone who has the Lord in their hearts is the same.

The prince's reverence and love for the Lord is the prince's loyalty, and the Lord protects the prince in everything. "

Whether I can live a good life in this life is a matter of two opinions, and I still look forward to the next life, hey, I might not be as good as this life.

The prince asked, "How do you know the pastors?"

Shen Sanwen smiled slightly, "The Lord has his own guidance, and the preacher is never alone. The king is the preacher, the leader is the preacher, and the ascetic is also the preacher. The Lord who endures the evil in the world and spreads the truth , although it is painful, it is joyful."

What kind of preacher do you care about? Temporary intolerance is to tolerate other people’s evil, turn others’ evil into your own evil, sacrifice the ego to fulfill the greater self, and it’s the same reason to fight the Western Regions with you. It’s so clear and so nice to tell you , don't you understand?
The prince was silent for a long time, repeating these few words, it took him a while to realize that what his father had always expected was that he would understand his own identity, that he not only had a responsibility to the Lord, but also had his own responsibility to the royal court.

But what he is more willing to do is to use his own evil to protect the good of others with loyalty to the Lord.

The monarchy and the Lord must be consistent.

All evil invades the body and harbors all things.

Forerunners are different!In the past, the leader explained the problem for a long time, but it was solved by this pioneer in a few sentences.

"However, Eastern religions are all vain. Only the Lord is the only true God in the world. How can they inspire the pioneers?"

Shen San asked with a smile, "First understand, then you can know his vanity, and then you can tell him the Lord's omnipotence and fraternity."

The prince has no doubt about him.

Shen San asked again about the situation of Dashi's "old" country step by step, starting with the teachings to gain his trust, and then resolutely not mentioning the Western Regions, letting his guard down, and gaining the most important information during the chat. Information.

The two countries are at war, and things on the battlefield can only be left to fate, and follow the generals to play.But according to the domestic situation, you can know more news and know the opponent's loopholes, making this army a lone army with no one to support, and the only thing that will meet them in the end is failure.

Today, Dashi handicraft industry and commerce are developed, which can be called prosperity, but serious conflicts between the church and the monarchy have begun to break out.Two princes with the right to inherit, one was taught to be stupid, and the other was entrusted with important tasks by the king to perform meritorious service in an attempt to expand the territory and power in the Western Regions and establish a new order of the kingdom.

Although the leader was unwilling to make this Eastern Expedition, it could only benefit the king's prestige, and it also caused a series of explanations from the Holy See, but after the king promised many benefits, he still fully supported this action.

If he could go to Dashi in person, he would definitely be able to solve the problem better, but Shen Sanwen didn't have the heart to go to Dashi again.This is different from the friends and neighbors of Tubo and Dazhou, the road is desolate, there are many forces, and the murder really does not know who did it.

However, Shen Sanwen still found the key opportunity for this battle——Which of the big food generals has conflicts with the prince.

According to Lun Yan, there are still two days left for him. In these two days, he has to deal with these two troublesome people.

After Shen San asked carefully, he called the receptionist, "Go to Lun Yan to see me."

"This is not appropriate," the receptionist hesitated.

Shen San asked with a smile, "You can ask Lun Qinling for instructions, and then come back to me."

Da Zhou’s houses were made of solid materials, with thick walls and good sound insulation, but in Tubo, Lunqin Mausoleum had already set an example for him.

The houses are all small buildings, and I don't know what materials are used. There is also an enhancement effect on the voice of speaking. The so-called secret talks should be held in an empty courtyard.

Shen Sanwen waited quietly in the courtyard.

Lun Yan walked briskly, smiling, and did not hide his expectation for Shen Sanwen's summoning at all, "The envoy has made a decision?"

Shen San asked back with a smile, pointing to Dashiren's residence and said, "Leave Prince Dashi and keep him on the plateau forever, and I will consider agreeing to your request."

Lun Yan seemed to have heard something unbelievable. He took a step back and put his hands on his chest, as if he was very afraid to face this man. "No, no, no, Tubo can fight Dashi, but he can't take the initiative to offend the Dashi royal family."

Shen Sanwen stared at him, "Aren't you going to listen to Zanpu's opinion?"

Lun Yan was stunned, "Here, what do you mean by consideration?"

Shen Sanwen lifted his chin and took a step closer, "As a thank you, Da Zhou will give Tubo three months of military rations or military assistance, choose one of the two."

"Has the envoy not considered other methods? Although Tubo is weak, there is absolutely no second opponent on this plateau."

Shen San asked, "Tubo is nothing if there is no Qinling, and your Zanpu still doesn't know how to manage this land. Go, I look forward to the answer from Chidu Zanpu."

Lun Yan frowned and left solemnly. In his opinion, Zanpu would never agree to such a condition anyway.

Lun Yan entered the palace and told the truth about what he had said.

After hearing this, Chi Du's face turned livid, and he directly smashed the teacup in his hand.

"Emissary Zhou is too deceitful, trying to sow discord between us and Dashi. It's really abominable. Lunyan, tell me that everyone in Tubo knows that there is Lunqinling, but don't you know that there is me?"

Lun Yan hesitated and didn't want to answer this sentence. This is the truth. Are you not sure? If you have anything to ask, you are not happy if you answer it.

Chidu said angrily again, "When the negotiation with Dashi is over, we will start to implement the plan. We should also let the Tibetans know who is their Zanpu. If we can win the Western Regions this time, we will also take credit for it." Zamp's."

Only then did Lun Yan come out from the trembling, and congratulated him, "Zanpu is wise, Lun Qinling is full of whims, and Tubo will have problems sooner or later in his hands."

The people in the posthouse reported about Lun Yan's second visit, but Lun Qinling just sighed, "What can this young man do?"

General Dashi and the prince agreed on a time limit for the peace talks, and it was only seven days in Tubo.But today's dinner is over, the contract between the two countries is signed, and everything is settled.

Lun Qinling called his followers, "Come on, let's check the dinner again."

Shen Sanwen went to the posthouse to invite the prince to go to the shooting range to practice arrows, but the people in the embassy stood up in time and bluntly said that the Tubo shooting range was small and could easily hurt the two distinguished guests, so they sternly refused.

Isn't it because Shen Sanwen is worried that he will harm the prince?
Shen Sanwen proposed to go to the market together, thinking about the many people accompanying him, the people from the embassy nodded, and Wang Zipo agreed unhappily.

It is too much to say that he is a distinguished guest of Tubo while practicing archery.

　Wow, this chapter feels poorly written.
