My harem can't be this messy

Chapter 716 Songtsen Gampo
I would not neglect this Tubo Zanpu. In fact, Li Zhi really didn't know a few Tubo celebrities in history, and he was most familiar with Zanpu.

Alas, there is no way, for future generations, Tubo has always been a mysterious and unfamiliar place. If you ask people of future generations about the famous people in Tubo, some people will probably say Jiumozhi.

Li Zhi really didn't know many people, only one or two, besides Songtsan Gampo, there was also a Dalai Lama who stayed overnight at a woman's house.

Li Zhi returned to Chang'an, and Chang'an is already stepping up preparations for various matters to welcome Tubo Zanpu.

Everyone can see that His Majesty attaches great importance to this Zanpu, not to mention this Zanpu, even Princess Wencheng who went home to visit her relatives, His Majesty attaches great importance to it.

His Majesty alone accompanied Princess Wencheng to play around for several days.Not to mention the accompanying princesses and concubines in the harem, even the queen mother kept Princess Wencheng in the palace several times.

In fact, some civil and military courtiers misunderstood it. Li Zhi did not value Princess Wencheng because she married Tubo, but because he was a descendant, and he respected the daughter of the Han family who married Tubo. .

It can be said that, to a certain extent, Songtsan Gampo actually took advantage of Princess Wencheng, because in Li Zhi's heart, he would not value Princess Wencheng because of Songtsan Gampo, but others didn't think so.

On the day when Songtsan Gampo came to Chang'an, the Tubo Zanpu whom Li Zhi went out of the city to greet in person was mostly to save face for his sister Wencheng. son in law.

His Majesty greeted him personally, and naturally all the civil and military courtiers followed.But this time Tubo Zanpu came, several main Tubo ministers also came, and many Buddhists followed. At this time, Tubo attached great importance to Buddhism, and Buddhism was introduced into Tubo, also known as Lamaism.

Near the Potala Palace, there are many Buddhist temples, the most famous of which is the Jokhang Temple, which also enshrines the 12-year-old golden statue of Sakyamuni that Princess Wencheng brought to Tubo from Chang'an.

Therefore, there are also many monks in the welcome team of Datang, from several famous Buddhist temples in Chang'an, such as Daci'en Temple and Hongfu Temple, all of whom are eminent monks who have attained the Tao.

The procession entered the city of Chang'an. Li Zhi was holding Songtsan Gampo's hand. Li Zhi's left hand was his queen, the queen, and Songtsan Gampo's right hand was his wife, Princess Wencheng.

With such a standard of treatment, Songtsan Gampo can be said to be the No. 1 in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. As for whether there will be no one in the future, no one can know.

After welcoming Songtsan Gampo into the imperial city, Li Zhi arranged for Songtsan Gampo to live near Honglu Temple. As for the imperial palace, it is impossible for outsiders to live here.

The imperial palace is equivalent to Li Zhi's home, while the imperial city is more like the offices of various yamen of the imperial court.The reception of envoys is naturally in the imperial city.

A sumptuous welcome banquet was prepared for the arrival of Tubo Zanpu tonight, and before that, Songtsan Gampo and Princess Wencheng went to see the Empress Dowager.

Because although Princess Wencheng is the daughter of the clan, she was given the title of princess when she married into Tubo, so it can be said that she is also the half daughter of the royal family.

Taizong has passed away, but Taizong's queen is still there. Because of reason, Songtsan Gampo came to Chang'an, and he had to bring Princess Wencheng to formally meet the Empress Dowager. He counted as half of the Empress Dowager son in law.

It is a basic etiquette for the younger generation to meet the elders, whether it is in the Han family or the Tibetan family.

Knowing that Songtsan Gampo had gone to the Lizheng Hall, Li Zhi waited in the Ganlu Hall for the result of the first conversation between the queen mother and Songtsan Gampo.

Li Zhi wants to see if this Zanpu has any plans to unite with Datang and go south to the Himalayas.

If he had, then things would go much smoother. At this time, among the largest forces in the world, the King of Harmony in South Asia can be regarded as one of the best.

Joining forces with Tubo to capture South Asia is the next important thing Li Zhi has to prepare for.

Li Zhi waited in the Ganlu Hall, and after more than an hour, the Queen Mother's Luanjia arrived at the Ganlu Hall, Li Zhi hurried up to meet him, supported the eldest grandson Empress Dowager's arm, and entered the Lizheng Hall.

"Queen, what is Songtsan Gampo thinking?"

"What do they have in mind? As long as they can expand the territory of Tubo, he will naturally not shirk it. What's more, this Zanpu seems to be a little..."

"Queen, what's there?"

"The queen mother can't tell, maybe it's because of fear!"

Li Zhi naturally understood that what he did in the Western Regions and the Turks was really appalling. One person could easily break through the defense made up of tens of thousands of people, which was enough to deter everyone.

This is the era of cold weapons, and the enemy of ten thousand people is a noun, but it has become true here in Li Zhi, can it not be scary?Not to mention ten thousand enemies, 10 enemies are just as easy and freehand.

"As long as he is willing to join hands with me, it will be a good thing."

"Well, there is no problem with this. He has agreed to send troops, and he also wants to invite the generals of the Tang Dynasty to visit the Potala Palace."

"Oh, it seems that Zanpu is really enthusiastic."

"Okay, there are no outsiders, so there is no need to talk to my aunt like this."

"Isn't this talking about business with the queen mother?"

"You don't need to talk like this when you are talking about business. You want Songtsen Gampo to go out with you. Now it seems that there is no problem. However, the queen mother talked with this Zanpu for a while, but I can feel that he will not do it for anything. Harm the interests of Tubo."

"I didn't intend to hurt him either!"

"Then how do you plan to merge Tubo into Tang Dynasty?"

"Not ready yet!"

Hearing Li Zhi's words, the Empress Dowager Changsun didn't know what to say, she hadn't thought about it yet, the words were too true.

"The queen mother thinks that you have already made up your mind."

"Take your time, don't rush, the world is so big, and there are still so many places that we need to recover! Queen Mother, I want to give Songtsan Gampo a consort as a captain, what do you think?"

"Well, you can give it if you want, and try him too."

Captain Consort is not a real job, but a similar honorary position. Songtsan Gampo married a princess of the Tang Dynasty, but it is also appropriate to get the title of Captain Consort.

And in history, Songtsan Gampo was indeed granted the title of captain consort, but that happened in the 23rd year of Zhenguan, after the death of Emperor Taizong, when Emperor Gaozong sent envoys to Tubo to mourn.

At this time, Li Zhi wanted to confer rewards in advance, so he could really try him with this matter.

Sitting in the Ganlu Palace with the Queen Mother for a while, the outside has gradually become lively. In the evening, there will be a grand banquet to welcome Songtsan Gambo.

Taking advantage of this time to welcome Songtsan Gampo, Li Zhi also invited envoys from various countries in Chang'an to attend the banquet. By this time, many civil and military courtiers and foreign envoys had gathered in the palace.
