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

Chapter 564 Volume [-] Pressure from Chang'an

at the same time.

Changan.

The plains all over the city are still there.

The funeral of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan is still going on.

As the founding monarch of the Tang Dynasty, his funeral is naturally as grand as it is.

In addition, the princes and clan relatives from all over the country have returned to Chang'an recently, and the situation in the court has suddenly become complicated.

Of course, the so-called vassals from all over the world are actually Li Yuan's heirs.

It's quite interesting to say that since Li Chengqian's journey to the west, although many of Li Er's princes have reached the age of Jufan, none of Li Er's princes has been released.

All stayed in Chang'an.

This has been a good thing in the past.

After all, the closer you are to the center, the greater your chances in the future.

But now, huh, huh, that's not a good thing.

In fact, they all understood that Li Er's move was because he didn't want another strong son to appear.

After all, for him today, there is a big difference between killing a brother and killing a son.

On this day, the kings who returned to the capital had just finished guarding Li Yuan's spirit, and the group came to the side hall to rest.

It's good to have more sons. There are shifts at twelve o'clock to watch the spirit, and there are no shortages.

Rubbing his legs, Han Wang Li Yuanchang said: "By the way, who of you has news about Sixth Brother, when is this, and he hasn't come back yet?"

The sixth brother he was talking about was of course Zhao Wang Li Yuanjing.

It's quite interesting to say that in the past, the relationship between their brothers was average, but since Li Er ascended the throne, they, the concubine sons of the Supreme Emperor, became nervous.

Now that Li Yuanjing is gaining a foothold in the northwest, they are very concerned about it.

After all, isn't this for them to stand in front of?

If this road can go through, it is also good news for them.

In the past few years, Li Yuanjing was able to support him in the northwest, and his brothers also supported him a lot.

Not for anything else, just to leave a way out for myself.

"No news." Li Yuanli said while rubbing his legs, "Speaking of which, there has been no news from Sixth Brother for a while."

Ever since Li Yuanjing gained a foothold in Qingshuichuan, these brothers have also tried their best to help Li Yuanjing gain a firm foothold. As for the state capital they ruled, they dare not move.

But precisely because of this, their support for Li Yuanjing was only that.

After all, my life is tight.

Speaking of this, Li Yuanjing carefully looked back, and then said in a low voice: "Sixth brother, this is an innocent disaster. Originally, His Majesty just wanted to deal with Gao Ming, but in the end he hugged the grass and beat the rabbit, and he became the one who was affected by the disaster." fish.

If he comes back from this experience, the future will be worrying. Our efforts over the years are in vain. "

"That's not necessarily the case." Li Yuanjia said, "If Gao Ming came back, it would be called hugging the grass and beating the rabbit. Now that Gao Ming is clearly not coming back, how can he hug the grass and beat the rabbit?
Do you think His Majesty would care about a small Qingshui River? "

Everyone was silent, and they couldn't see through the current situation.

Although born in the royal family, he knows more than others, but that's all.

They may be placed in other eras, and they may be outstanding for a while, but in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, they really can't make any waves.

"Speaking of which, Gao Ming really has him." Li Yuanchang said, "It's come this far without making any noise? Look, if it wasn't for this kid, where would we brothers have a chance to meet again?
Are you going back to Chang'an for the funeral?
Throughout history, this is unprecedented! "

The relationship between Li Yuanchang and Li Chengqian is still good. You must know that in the original history, this guy was the only one who stood by Li Chengqian's side and assisted him in the rebellion.

Of course, he was given death for this.

Until now, he still hasn't realized that Li Chengqian's departure saved his life.

"Okay, now that the emperor has passed away, let's be more honest in the future. After Gao Ming made such a fuss, our lives will be difficult in the future."

As he said that, Li Yuanli also had a look of melancholy.

Once Li Yuan died, the only person who could protect them would be gone. Of course, there were still rules of etiquette to restrain Li Er.

But is Li Er a man of etiquette?

For a moment, everyone fell silent. At this moment, they really hoped that Li Yuanjing could resist the pressure and not come back. If so, they would have a way out in the future.

On the other side, Li Er's expression darkened as he looked at the [-]-mile urgent memorial sent by Changsun Wuji.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Fang Xuanling asked in a low voice, looking at Li Er who had a gloomy expression.

Ever since Li Chengqian didn't come back, Li Er's complexion has not been better.

Of course, now is the time of great mourning, which is normal, after all, Dad just died, so he can't be full of joy, right?

"Hmph." Li Er snorted coldly and said, "King Zhao can't come back either. Now, Da Ming's left servant She Puxiuo is leading his people to attack Qingshuichuan."

"What the hell?" Fang Xuanling was stunned, what is this all about?

Li Jing could hear something was wrong, and asked: "It's just a clan member? Not Da Ming's army?
No, when the Pu clan followed His Highness back then, there were only a few hundred people, even after so many years of development, the tribe has at most thousands of people.

The key is that these thousands of clansmen and most of the children, how did they attack Qingshuichuan?
Even if Qingshuichuan is weak, it's not something that a little Platinum can invade, right? "

Fang Xuanling also nodded, isn't this troublesome?

"I told you that you may not believe it, but a few years ago, this Platts department, a descendant disappeared.

Not only Platts, but there were also many missing children in Riyue Mountain at that time, and they have not been found for so many years.

No, there are clues that these missing children appeared in Qingshuichuan.

Pusiruo organized the tribe that had lost their children, and together they went to Qingshuichuan.

But something interesting happened, Yuan Jing didn't know anything about it, and he was in a hurry to go back to Chang'an, so he dismissed Pusiruo and others casually.

Pusironaken immediately organized all the tribes to rush into Qingshui River, and wanted to find someone by himself.

As a result, Qingshuichuan resigned, and the two sides became entangled. Although Pusiruo was defeated, he had accumulated a lot of contacts in Daming over the years, and now he was calling for friends, and the war broke out.

No, Zhao Wang Li Yuanjing was still on his way to Chang'an, so he rushed back in a hurry.

Well, it may not be long before the letter of credence from Da Zhao Wangting will arrive. "

After listening to Li Er finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

This……

Any fool can tell that there must be tricks in it, but no one can say no.

But they also realized that this matter had nothing to do with Li Chengqian.

Not only did this guy not come back, but even Li Yuanjing stayed.

This made everyone puzzled.

In fact, as long as Li Chengqian doesn't come back, Li Er may not do anything to Li Yuanjing.

On the contrary, Li Chengqian felt that it was unnecessary to make such a fuss.

As for reprimanding Li Chengqian, hehe, since he is not in Riyue Mountain, he can definitely push one, two, three, four, five for what Puxiuo did.

"Forget it, I can't help it, let them go." After all, Li Er waved his hand. With Li Chengqian's jewels in front of him, he didn't care if Li Yuanjing didn't come back.

Immediately, Li Er asked people to prepare for Li Yuan's funeral. Although the two traitors did not come back, for him, Li Yuan's funeral could not be sloppy.

For him, this is also an opportunity to rectify his name.

And when Li Yuanchang and the others knew that Li Yuanjing would not come back, they were all surprised. As long as Li Yuanjing could keep his Great Zhao Wangting, then they would have an extra way out from now on.

……

At the same time, Tubo.

The war between Subi and Tubo started without warning.

As King Subi led the army to attack Tubo madly, the monk Lun Keer in Tubo was stunned.

What the hell is going on?
But this kind of sluggishness was only a momentary thing, because they quickly realized that it must be King Su Pi who defected to Daming.

At least, an alliance has been reached with Daming.

"Has his brain been trampled by a bull!"

Shang Nang said with a look of disbelief, "He is fighting with me, no matter what the result is, we still have the final say on this land, in the final analysis, we are the masters of this land.

He thought that if he defected to Daming, he could become the lord of this plateau?

Isn't this seeking skin from a tiger? "

This concept has a fairly deep foundation in both Subi and Tubo.

For them, whether it was Tubo who eventually dominated the plateau or Subi who eventually dominated the plateau, in the final analysis, the meat was still in the pot.

This is also the source of their previous tacit understanding.

But now, with Su Pi doing this, the whole thing is out of control.

You know, they have no chance of winning against Daming one-on-one. If you add Su Pi, hehe, just wash your neck and wait to die.

"Inform Zamp that things have exceeded our expectations." Shang Nang said immediately, "At the same time, we must prepare for the worst."

Things have come to this point, there is actually not much they can do.

Of course, it's not like they didn't guard against Su Pi. Monk Lun Ke'er was in one place, wasn't that the purpose?
And when Songtsan Gampo received the news, although he was taken aback for a moment, Lu Dongzan was quickly found by someone.

They had discussed the false proposition of whether Su Pi would fall to Daming.Even for this, arrangements were made several years ago.

Now, after receiving the news, Songtsan Gampo did not appear too flustered.

After a while, Lu Dongzan came.

"Zanpu." With a salute, Lu Dongzan waited beside him.

Songtsan Gampo smiled, and briefly introduced Su Pi's defection to Daming.

"Su Pi is seeking skin from a tiger!" Lu Dongzan said angrily, "They don't deserve to live on this land at all!"

Don't look at him angry, but there is really no panic on his face.

"Looks like you'll have to work hard again." Songtsan Gampo said, "Now, I, Tubo, are indeed no match for Daming, but come to think of it, Datang also doesn't want to see Daming succeed, right?

Annexed my Tubo, isn't that Tang emperor worried?

In the early years, you were sent to the Tang Dynasty as an envoy, and this time you will be sent to the Tang Dynasty again, can you be sure that Tubo will form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty? "

"Zanpu don't worry." Lu Dongzan said with a smile when he heard the words, "My minister will definitely facilitate this matter."

Back then, Lu Dongzan asked him to go to Tang Dynasty. He didn't understand why at first, but after thinking about it, wasn't it just to deal with the current situation?
The one who didn't want to see Daming grow up the most was actually not Tubo, but Tang!

Therefore, Lu Dongzan is really confident about this task.

Discussed with Songtsen Gampo again, and that night, Lu Dongzan went straight to Datang in a hurry.

For Tubo, there is no rush now.

Regardless of whether Su Pi hooked up with Daming or not, in a short period of time, the two countries will still be on guard against each other.

So, they still have time.

……

But a few days later, when the battle between Su Pi and Tubo was still in stalemate, Lu Dongzan had already arrived in Chang'an, and wrote a letter to see the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.

Li Er was not surprised that Tubo's envoy was here at this moment, and even if he had someone announce Lu Dongzan to the Taiji Hall.

Lu Dongzan didn't hesitate, and directly raised Tubo's idea of ​​forming an alliance with Datang.

Hearing Lu Dongzan's words, Li Yixin said, you guys are here.

They are all human beings. Ever since he heard that Li Chengqian sent troops south, Li Er knew that Tubo was coming, but he didn't expect to make him wait so long.

As for the alliance, Li Er pretended to be displeased and said: "I heard that not long ago, your country colluded with the Su Pi rebels and wanted to send troops to the north?

Could it be that your envoy forgot that the Great Ming Dynasty Court was built by the Crown Prince of the Great Tang Dynasty, so he dared to come to the Great Tang Dynasty to talk about alliances like this! "

Lu Dongzan was not annoyed when he heard the words, he knew that Li Er was trying to increase the price, so he said immediately: "Please calm down the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, although I did have some connections with Su Pi in the early years, but this time The Pansubi rebels marched northward, but I, Tubo, did not know about it.

And this Su Pi is really crazy, not only sent his troops to the north, but now he is also sending his troops to the south, and he is about to compete with me, Su Pi. "

He was afraid that Li Er would not know the actual situation, so he took the opportunity to reveal the battle situation there.

Regarding the news of Su Pi's going south, Li Er naturally also received the news, and when he heard the news, he sneered and said, "I really don't know that Su Pi has two factions, old and new, now?"

"Of course I don't dare." Lu Dongzan said with a smile, "Actually, both Your Majesty and the ministers know what's going on, but the reasons are too complicated to describe.

I can't speak clearly in a few words. "

After speaking, Lu Dongzan took out an envelope from the armband and said, "The specific situation is all in this envelope. Please have a look at it, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

Hearing this, Li Er waved his hand, and immediately a servant walked over and handed the letter to Li Er.

After Li Er took the envelope, he pushed it lightly, and said with a smile: "Ministry of Rites, arrange for the Tubo envoys to rest first, and discuss specific matters later."

After Lu Dongzan left, Li Er smiled and threw away Lu Dongzan's envelope.

"Your Majesty, I haven't read this letter yet."

"You still need to see?" Li Er smiled, "Okay, so, about the alliance with Tubo, Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites will discuss it.

Well, now that Tubo is begging me, Datang, you can have more confidence. Of course, no matter what the outcome of your discussions is, you must ensure that Tubo and Datang can successfully form an alliance in a short period of time.

After all, there is not much time left for Tubo, don't wait until Tubo is gone, you haven't come up with a charter yet. "

For that letter, Li Er was not interested in reading it. He didn't need to read it. He just pushed it lightly, and he knew that there was absolutely nothing in the so-called envelope.

And Lu Dong praised this move, nothing more than to give Li Er an opportunity to make an offer.

This is what he discussed with Songtsan Gampo before he came.

Above the main hall, Li Er always had to put on his airs as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, these things were a mess, so there was no need to waste time on it.

Besides, he is an envoy, how can he have the qualifications to negotiate with Li Er?
……

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Xiaogong and the officials of Honglu Temple started a fierce negotiation on the alliance between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.

"Alliance?" Li Xiaogong sneered at the negotiating table, "Nowadays, Tubo has internal and external troubles. At this time, I don't know what to do with my alliance with Datang."

"The king's words are wrong." Lu Dongzan said with a smile, "Although there is indeed a war in Tubo now, if the prince of the Tang Dynasty hadn't supported Su Pi these years and made troubles in Tubo, how could we be here today? Things?

Moreover, if it hadn't been for the fact that he was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how could I, Tubo, not have unified the plateau and sent troops to the north? "

"Then hurry up!" Li Xiaogong waved his hands and said, "When you dominate the plateau and move your troops to the north, my Tang Dynasty will form an alliance with Tubo!"

He's not polite at all, and it's not him who is in a hurry now, so why worry about him.

Who wouldn't brag?
If it wasn't for Li Er's confession, he wished Li Chengqian could dominate the plateau. After all, Tubo is also a great enemy!

Neighbors, of course we have to pick the one that is pleasing to the eye.

In terms of personal standpoint and national standpoint, he thinks Daming is more pleasing to the eye.

Lu Dongzan was not embarrassed when he heard the words, and said: "This matter is not urgent, it is still being planned.

This time, although my Tubo is sincerely forming an alliance with Datang, it does not mean that we must form an alliance with Datang. Before leaving, my Zanpu explained that if we cannot make friends with Datang, then we will form an alliance with Daming. It's not impossible. "

The attitudes of both sides are very clear, one side is forming an alliance, and you are not worthy, so let's talk about it with a lower stance.

The other side is, we join if we can't win, you figure it out.

After all, the competition in this kind of negotiation is who is more tolerant, but they don't have much time.

In the end, I don't know how to negotiate. After Li Yuan's funeral, the news of the formal alliance between Datang and Tubo spread all over the world.

There is a very strange article in the alliance book. The clan of the Tang Dynasty and its vassal state and Tubo did not invade each other and became friends.

And this one is actually the most important one in the so-called covenant.

Of course, such a strange covenant is actually just to contain Li Chengqian.

If Li Chengqian dared to enter Tubo, he would voluntarily give up his status as the Tang clan.

If Daming doesn't send troops, hehe, just one Subi, how can he be Tubo's opponent?
Perhaps, Tubo really has a chance to unify Tubo and pose a real threat to Ming Dynasty.

I have to say that this trick is indeed wicked enough.

However, when Li Chengqian heard the news, he smiled.

That's it?

It's time for you to see what real shamelessness is.

Immediately, Li Chengqian sent someone to find Qibi Shamen.
