Chapter 164: Tubo marriage
Luo Yi and Li Jing, one beat Goguryeo to the point that the emperor had to apologize, and the other beat Tubo to the point where he wrote a letter of credence begging for mercy. Both of them have outstanding achievements.

If they hadn't all wanted to rush back to attend Li Chengdao's enthronement ceremony, they might have continued to fight Goguryeo and Tubo to make them bow to the Tang Dynasty.

But even though they returned to Korea early, they all knew that both Goguryeo and Tubo had been blacklisted in Li Chengdao's heart.

It is not easy for Li Chengdao to start a killing spree when the new king takes the throne. After a while, these two countries will be destroyed.

The news of the Emperor's accession to the throne of the Tang Dynasty quickly spread through various channels to Goguryeo, Tubo, Kucha, Western Turks, Fusang and other countries.

……

Tubo, the palace hall.

Nangri Lunzan looked at the good news sent back from Chang'an by the spies in his hand, and couldn't help but look sad and worried.

"Zamp, what happened again?"

Seeing the worried look on Nangri Lunzan's face, the Tibetan Prime Minister couldn't help but ask.

"Ugh……"

Nangri Lunzan raised his head, glanced at the Prime Minister, and sighed: "There is news from Chang'an that Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty has abdicated, and his grandson Li Chengdao has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor."

Hearing Nangri Lunzan's words, the Prime Minister of Tibet looked puzzled and asked: "Isn't it normal for the throne to change? Why did Zanpu sigh?"

In his opinion, the Tang Dynasty just changed its monarch, so there was nothing to worry about.

However, Nangri Lunzan shook his head and said: "This new emperor is not as indecisive as Li Yuan. I ordered people to check his life. In just two years, he defeated the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty and ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. , holds great power.”

"Furthermore, it is said that although this emperor had only just begun to restrain his hair, he was extremely decisive in killing. He once ordered the massacre of more than [-] Turks in one go."

"The most important thing is that he is extremely hostile to the enemies who invaded the Tang Dynasty. This time we sent troops to invade the Tang Dynasty and killed so many Tang soldiers and people. I am worried that he will send troops to attack Tubo."

"The army that defeated us this time was only one-third of the army in the hands of the emperor..."

After Nangri finished speaking, all the ministers in the palace were shocked.

This time they invaded Datang and were severely beaten. Only 20 of the [-]-strong army escaped, and the other party also invaded their territory.

If Nangri Lunzan had not voluntarily surrendered under pressure and paid a large amount of compensation, I am afraid that the other party would have continued to fight!

That ferocious army made everyone feel terrified.

And such a powerful army is only one-third of the emperor's troops?Simply incredible!

It is conceivable that if the new emperor holds a grudge against them and sends troops to attack again, they will not be able to resist it!

"Didn't we make compensation? Moreover, Zampu personally issued a letter of credence begging for mercy. That emperor wouldn't be so forced, right? If he really went to full-scale war with our Tubo, it would not be good for the Tang Dynasty. "

The Prime Minister of Tubo asked with some surprise and uncertainty.Nangri Lunzan shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I always feel that the emperor would not give up so easily... Alas, if I had known this, I shouldn't have sent troops to attack the Tang Dynasty."

Nangri Lunzan said with great regret.

Taking the opportunity to attack Datang this time was really a wrong decision. If he could be given another chance to choose, even if Yizhou City opened its door to him, he would not allow anyone to step in.

The Prime Minister of Tibet thought for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "Zan Pu, I think we should take the initiative to send an envoy to Chang'an to congratulate the Tang Emperor on his enthronement."

"So what if we send someone over to congratulate us? Do you think the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will let us go just because of this?"

Nangri Lunzan said with a strange expression.

The Prime Minister of Tibet smiled slightly and said: "Princess Huyan Nana is now of the right age, and she was born into a beautiful country. I heard that the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not yet married, so why not offer Princess Nana to the emperor in order to make peace?" ?”

"Even after sacrificing Princess Nana, Emperor Tang is still unwilling to let us go, but at least he won't attack us in a short period of time. We can take advantage of this period to expand our troops. When the military strength is increased, Emperor Tang wants to send troops to attack again. You have to weigh it up.”

"If we lower our posture in order to repair the problem then, Emperor Tang will probably not pursue our invasion again."

The Prime Minister of Tubo is worthy of being Nangri Lunzan's think tank. The strategy he gave is so good that Nangri Lunzan can't find any faults with it. However, there is only one thing that makes Nangri Lunzan hesitate.

"Nana is Ben Zamp's most beloved daughter, can't she be replaced by a princess?"

Nangri Lunzan said rather reluctantly.

The Prime Minister of Tibet frowned when he heard this, and said with a straight face: "Princess Nana is of heavenly beauty. She is the most beautiful woman in Tibet, and as a direct descendant of the royal family, only her status and talent can be worthy of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor, it is even possible to fight for the position of queen, and let me, Tubo, tie up the powerful country of Datang!"

"If it were another princess, and Emperor Tang was informed of Princess Nana's existence, I'm afraid he would feel that I, Tubo, despise him. Who can bear the wrath of Emperor Tang?"

"For the sake of Tubo's future, please ask Princess Nana to go to Tang Dynasty for marriage!"

As the Prime Minister of Tubo said, he bowed directly to Nangri Lunzan and knelt on the ground with his head in a very serious tone.

After he prostrated, other ministers in the hall also knelt down and said in unison: "Please Zanpu, for the sake of Tibet, make Princess Nana marry the Tang Dynasty!"

"This……"

Nangri Lunzan looked at the ministers who were prostrating themselves before him and opened his mouth not knowing what to say.

But he knew that he had no choice, otherwise these ministers, who represented various aristocratic forces in Tubo, might join forces to evade him.

Therefore, no matter how reluctant he was to give up, he could only say: "I understand this. In three days, I will order Huyan Nana to go to the Tang Dynasty with the envoy."

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were overjoyed and shouted: "Praise the Holy Ming! God bless Tubo!"
