This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 518 Volume [-] Tubo, die!
Daming Royal Court, Riyue Mountain.

As soon as the Spring Festival ended, everyone in the Daming Royal Court returned to their jobs one after another.

The sound of beating and knocking can be heard in the workshop every day, and the sound of bargaining in the shops is even more endless. There are bursts of laughter from time to time in the school, and there are stories of sadness and joy in the Daming Hospital. .

"Your Highness, Wang Shilang and Ma Ye are back." At the end of the first month, when Li Chengqian was studying the ratio of gunpowder for the supervisor, Yuchi Baolin pushed the door in.

"Are you back?" Li Chengqian raised his head and said after hearing the words, "Let them wait in the main hall first, and I want to see what the hell this Su Pi is doing."

After all, Li Chengqian got up and took off the gloves in his hands, and the other blacksmith and Zhang Erniu said, "You do a few more experiments, the raw materials are probably these, but the specific ratio needs to be tried more, since Datang We have come ahead of us in this respect, so naturally we cannot fall behind.”

After all, Li Chengqian still couldn't trust other people, and finally handed over the gunpowder matter to Fang Tiejiang and Zhang Erniu.

Of course, as he said, this matter is actually not difficult. It is nothing more than the ratio of the ratio. Two more experiments will always yield results.

"Leave this matter to us, Your Highness can rest assured." Zhang Erniu said with a bow.

He knew the importance of this gunpowder, and His Highness could give it to them, that was the utmost trust.

Of course, they also had great trust in Li Chengqian. Since Li Chengqian said that the formula was fine, it must be fine. In the end, it was just a terrazzo effort. They could still do such a small thing.

Li Chengqian nodded, then turned and left.

As the king of Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for him to do everything by himself.

When they returned to Daming Palace, Wang Xuance and Ma Ye and their party were waiting outside the Hall of Heroes, Li Chengqian beckoned, and Liu San immediately went to arrange for people other than Wang Xuance and Ma Ye to eat first.

After they left, Li Chengqian asked while walking: "What's going on with Su Pi?"

"Return to Your Highness." Wang Xuance said immediately, "According to the information we have, Su Pi may have been bullied by Tubo."

Shamed by Tubo?

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Tell me specifically."

Wang Xuance immediately explained in detail what they had learned.

When Li Chengqian heard it, he was immediately happy.

"Not to mention, there is indeed something about Tubo." After listening to Wang Xuance's story, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "If Qibi Shamen didn't handle it properly at that time, even if our relationship with Su Pi would not be broken, there would still be problems in a short period of time. If there is a gap, maybe there will be troubles on our border."

"Who says it's not?" Wang Xuance said, "Tubo dragged Su Pi desperately just to make Su Pi too busy to take care of himself. If my Ming soldiers sent out of Su Pi at that time, Su Pi might really be in danger of subjugation. At that time, my Ming might There is one-faced Tubo.

And if Tubo annexes Su Pi, they will definitely set their sights on me, Daming, which is easy to calculate. "

"It's a good calculation." Li Chengqian thought about it carefully, nodded his head, and said, "Tubo has an advantage in terrain. If this is the case, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to be safe in the south of Daming."

As a later generation, Li Chengqian naturally knew what Tubo's greatest advantage was. If Tubo annexed Subi, Ming would really have a vicious battle to fight.

After all, Tubo is condescending, and although Daming is not low, it is not so easy to fight up and adapt to the climate at their altitude.

"What did Mangbo Jiesunbo say?" Li Chengqian asked.

"According to King Supi's intention..." Wang Xuance said, "The Supi army that invaded my Ming Dynasty, he is too busy to take care of it now, and he may not be able to take care of it. What he means is that he hopes that my Ming Dynasty can send troops to help them clear the king's side."

"Is it on the side of Lord Qing?" Li Chengqian was a little dazed, and said after a long time, "The situation of Su Pi is already so tense?"

"Your Highness doesn't know something." Ma Ye said from the side, "This time, Tubo is almost out of force, and Tubo is already powerful, if Su Pi hadn't been supported by my Ming's armaments, it would have been unable to sustain it.

Even so, Su Pi was just struggling to hold on. Although they were evenly matched, in fact, they were already at the end of their battles. "

Hearing what Ma Ye said, Li Chengqian also nodded.

He had only heard about the country of Supi after traveling through it. In his memory, there was actually no such country. In this way, this country did not cause much trouble in history.

After chatting for a while, Li Chengqian waved his hands and said, "Go down and rest first. As for the matter of sending troops, I have to figure it out again."

"The ministers will leave." Wang Xuance and Ma Ye bowed and left immediately.

After they left, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Tuban, Songtsan Gampo? Are you forcing me to do something to Tubo earlier?"

In fact, he didn't want to attack Tubo so early. In his original plan, he hoped that Su Pi would continue to consume Tubo's strength, and then he would come to reap the benefits.

After all, Tubo has an advantage in terrain, even if Li Er has nothing to do with Tubo in his life, he doesn't want to follow in Li Er's footsteps.

"Your Highness, Murong Xiaoyong, head of the Ministry of Punishment, is seeking to see you." At this moment, a guard came in and said.

Li Chengqian was taken aback when he heard the words, this guy is asking to see him at this time?Could it be that the murderer who robbed the children of Riyue Mountain was caught?

Nodded, after a while, Murong Xiaoyong came in with strides, bowed and said: "My minister Murong Xiaoyong, see Your Highness."

"But the murderer who robbed the children was caught?" Li Chengqian asked directly.

Murong Xiaoyong said: "Return to Your Highness, the murderer has not been caught yet, but now it is a bit tricky."

"Troublesome?" Li Chengqian frowned, "Could it be that the identity of the murderer is unusual? Or is it that the murderer has something to do with my Ming officials?"

Murong Xiaoyong obviously heard the anger in Li Chengqian's words, and immediately said: "For the time being, I haven't found out any connection with my Ming officials, but these children have now appeared in the Great Zhao Royal Court."

"Great Zhao Wangting, Li Yuanjing?" Li Chengqian was taken aback when he heard this answer, "He is so brave, he dared to go to our Riyue Mountain to rob young children! Do you really think that the king dare not do anything to him?"

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian shook his head.

"No, why is Li Yuanjing robbing young children? As far as I know, although Li Yuanjing has no great talent, he doesn't have these strange hobbies."

"That...Your Highness..." Murong Xiaoyong looked at Li Chengqian cautiously, and then said, "Among the lost children, one is from the Pu clan, and it is said that he is the grandson of Pu Shangshu."

Pusiro's grandson?

Li Chengqian understood what Murong Xiaoyong meant after hearing the words.

"You mean that Li Yuanjing's purpose this time is actually Pu Shangshu's grandson, and he wants to blackmail Pu Shangshu?"

Not to mention, this possibility is really possible. After all, Pusiruo is definitely a big figure in Daming, especially his head of the household department, who can indeed play a decisive role in some aspects.

"It's not impossible." Murong Xiaoyong said, "Otherwise, I really don't understand the purpose of Da Zhao Wangting doing this?
Moreover, since Pu Shangshu's grandson was taken away, there has been no missing child in Riyue Mountain. No matter how it looks, it is like a smoke bomb from the other party. Their purpose may only be to kidnap Pu Shangshu grandson.

It's just so that we don't perceive their purpose, that's all. "

Li Chengqian nodded, not to mention, Murong Xiaoyong's analysis was pretty good.

"Then have you ever sought out Pu Shangshu?" Li Chengqian asked.

Murong Xiaoyong shook his head, and said: "The matter is of great importance. After I learned about it, I immediately entered the palace."

"You go ahead first." Li Chengqian heard the words and said, "Continue to follow up on this line."

He is still satisfied with Murong Xiaoyong's performance.

After Murong Xiaoyong left, Li Chengqian immediately found Wu An.

"Recently, there is something strange about Platts' part?"

Upon hearing Li Chengqian's question, Wu An was taken aback immediately.

"Return to Your Highness, I haven't noticed anything unusual for the time being."

"Is there any strange person in contact with the Pu family?" Li Chengqian continued to ask.

Even if Pusiro's grandson is lost, if Pusiro is threatened to betray him because of this, he still cannot accept it.

"There are more people in contact with the Platts." Wu An said, "After all, today's Platts are no longer what they used to be, and there are many people who climb dragons and phoenixes."

"Is there anything unusual about Pu Shangshu recently?" Li Chengqian asked again.

"There is nothing unusual." Wu An said, "Of course, the specifics need further investigation."

Nowadays, the intelligence agencies of the Secret Service Division dare not say that they are all over the world, but they are absolutely spread all over the Ming Dynasty. As long as they are within the scope of the Ming Dynasty, almost all the bigger things can't be hidden from the Secret Service Division.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian recounted Puxiruo's grandson's captivity, and said: "Pu Shangshu is an important minister of my Ming Dynasty, and a thief dares to take his grandson away, it's a challenge to my Ming Dynasty's majesty!
Although Pu Shangshu did not ask this king for help, as the king of Ming Dynasty, he is duty-bound to protect every citizen of Daming!
Wu An, quickly send someone to the Great Zhao Wangting, and you must rescue Pu Shangshu's grandson and other young children! "

"The humble minister takes orders." Wu An understood as soon as he heard this.

Although Li Chengqian didn't say it clearly, this time was not simply about rescuing those children.

After Wu An left, Li Chengqian said to himself: "Puxiruo, please don't let me down."

It wasn't his villain's heart that judges a gentleman's belly, the majestic Hubu Shangshu, his grandson has been captive for so long, and he didn't do anything. If it wasn't for Murong Xiaoyong, Li Chengqian wouldn't even know it now.

He couldn't help but doubt it.

As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons.

"Liu San, let me know that three days later, there will be a grand court! Officials of the seventh rank and above must go to court!" After pondering for a while, Li Chengqian said.

Liu San was also taken aback when he heard the words, the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty did not have the habit of making great dynasties, and since the founding of the Ming Dynasty for more than two years, it seems that there have not been many great dynasties.

……

Tubo, logically, in the palace of Songtsan Gampo.

Songtsan Gampo, who is about seventeen or eighteen years old, looks more mature than Li Chengqian.

Perhaps because of the climate, although Songtsen Gampo is actually only seventeen or eighteen years old, he looks much older.

In the main hall, his uncle Lun Ke'er and Prime Minister Shang Nang sat on both sides, and Lu Dongzan, who was still a fledgling, stood in the middle of them.

"A few days ago, the army came to report that our Tubo warriors suffered heavy casualties in this massive attack. What do you think?" Songtsan Gampo put down the letter in his hand and asked.

"It is indeed difficult to march today." Shang Nang heard the words and said, "But this is a matter of life and death for me, Tubo, how can I give up easily because of mere casualties?"

"The argument makes sense." Lun Keer also nodded, and said, "Although Daming does not pose a threat to our Tubo, Li Chengqian has exposed his wolfish ambitions by always helping Su Pi. If he is allowed to do so Going forward, Su Pi, with the continuous support of materials and armaments from Ming Dynasty, even if he can't drag down our Tubo, it will definitely hinder our development.

At that time, Daming will definitely assist Su Pi, and the army will go south!
This is not what I, Tubo, want to see. "

Songtsan Gampo shook his head and said, "Uncle and Da Lun are both right, but you are wrong about one thing."

"Ah, I don't know where the old minister made a mistake, please give Zanpu some pointers." Shang Nang asked.

Even though he was much older than Songtsen Gampo, he never dared to underestimate Songtsen Gampo.

Songtsan Gampo said with a smile: "Li Chengqian will not allow Su Pi to sit on the throne. If we suffer a big loss in the battle with Su Pi, believe it or not, the object of Li Chengqian's aid will immediately change from Su Pi. become us?"

"Huh?" Shang Nang heard the words and said, "Zanpu means that Li Chengqian is actually using us to check and balance each other?"

"That's right." Songtsan Gampo said, "Although Ming is powerful, we, Tubo, have superior terrain. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Li Chengqian is not willing to rashly send troops to Tubo.

On the contrary, I, Tubo, is condescending to his Ming Dynasty. As long as I unify Tubo, I can pose a threat to his Ming Dynasty at any time.

Therefore, Li Chengqian is not actually supporting Su Pi, but just does not want our land to be unified.

Once we are unified, we will definitely set our strategic sights on Daming.

This is what Li Chengqian doesn't want to see.

It's a pity, Su Pi's idiots can't even understand this. "

Speaking of this, Songtsan Gampo cursed for no reason.

But what he said was wrong.

It's not that Mangpo Jiesunbo didn't understand it, others understood it a long time ago, but as the same king, who is willing to submit to whom?
"Indeed." Lun Keer said, "If we unify Tubo, we will definitely have direct conflicts with Daming. But this also shows that Li Chengqian is still afraid of us."

"It is inevitable to be afraid." Songtsen Gampo said, "But we are also afraid of them."

"Zanpu, why don't I go to Supi as an envoy and talk to King Supi?" At this moment, Lu Dongzan said.

On this occasion, Lu Dongzan usually listens more and speaks less. After all, his current status is not enough to criticize Fang Qiu here.

"As an envoy to Subi?" Songtsan Gampo laughed and said, "Forget it, Mangpo Jesunbo is more stubborn than a stone in a latrine, you can't convince him.

If it were so easy to convince him, he would have led Subi to submit to Tibet long ago.

Moreover, if you are going to his territory, he will not tell you that the two armies will not be killed if they are at war. "

Songtsan Gampo was very clear about this.

But Lu Dongzan didn't want to give up, insisted: "Wei Chen is willing to try.

If my Tubo continues to be so consumed by him, Su Pi, it will be troublesome for my Tubo's own development after all.

Moreover, Su Pi is at the most difficult time this time, and if he does not do it, it will attract Da Ming's enemies. If we understand it at this time and move it with reason and emotion, it is hard to say that we cannot persuade them.

After all, this land belongs to us as well as to them, but it definitely does not belong to the Han people like Li Chengqian.

Under this major premise, Weichen is still sure to persuade them. "

"You may not know something." Songtsan Gampo laughed, "Not long ago, Daming's mission was sent to Su Pi, and I heard that it was a guy named Wang Xuance.

So, your previous strategy has long been seen through.

Moreover, the Subi army that invaded Daming did not lead Daming's army out of the city.

Those schemes of yours are useless..."
