Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 425 The Tubo Envoy
"Report to Your Majesty! Tubo sent an envoy to ask for a visit!" During the meeting, the minister mentioned the matter of the Tubo envoy to Li Chengqian.

"Xuan!" Li Chengqian said.

"Xuan, the Tubo envoys are here!" Wang Quan stepped forward and shouted.

"Xuan, the Tubo envoys are here!" The eunuch outside the hall passed on the words, and when the Tubo envoys heard the call to him, they followed the eunuchs to the Xuanzheng Hall to meet Tang Emperor Li Chengqian.

"Foreign ministers pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Tang!" the Tubo envoy saluted.

"Freedom of courtesy! The envoys of Tubo came all the way to Chang'an, why?" Li Chengqian said.

"Report to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! I am ordered by Zanpu to come to Chang'an to pay a visit, and ask the Tang Dynasty to allow me to reconcile Tubo and Tuyuhun, and to show the friendship between Tubo and Tuyuhun."

"I hope that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will allow me, Tubo, to graze in the Chishui area of ​​Heyuan. To show my sincerity, I, Tubo, am willing to make peace with Tuyuhun," said the Tubo envoy.

The purpose of his visit this time was not to reconcile with Tuyuhun, nor did he come to make any kind of marriage.

"Chishui is originally the land of Tuyuhun, so what does it have to do with you? How can you allow Tubo to graze in Chishui? It is too inappropriate for you to occupy the magpie's nest like this. I will not allow you to invite Tubo!" Li Chengqian said, he naturally Will not agree to Tubo's request.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! I, Tubo, just hope to live in peace with Tuyuhun. Does the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty want to see the fighting between Tubo and Tuyuhun?" said the Tubo envoy.

This kind of nonsense can also be said, who would believe the nonsense you Tubo people say, if you love peace, how can you annex Tuyuhun.

Do Tibetans really think everyone is a fool?

"Since you want to live in peace, please withdraw your troops from Tuyuhun and return to your Tubo, and return the territory that invaded Tuyuhun to Tuyuhun, instead of running to herd on other people's land." Li Chengqian said.

The Tubo envoys were speechless, and it was completely impossible for them to evacuate Tuyuhun and return the occupied part of Tuyuhun. The purpose of Tubo's envoy to Datang this time was to hope that Datang would acquiesce in their occupation of Tuyuhun.

It doesn't matter even if you don't agree, Tubo will not withdraw to Tubo no matter what, but will continue to fight Tuyuhun to the end.

This trip to the Tang Dynasty is nothing more than to test the attitude of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"I, Tubo, came here with sincerity. I hope that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can help to reconcile the relationship between Tubo and Tuyuhun. I, Tubo, are willing to marry a princess to the prince of Tuyuhun, and we will have a good relationship for a hundred years."

"I, Tubo, don't need any betrothal gifts from Tuyuhun. I just need Tuyuhun to allow our Tibetans to graze in the Chishui area. Moreover, I, Tubo, are willing to give a generous dowry." The Tubo envoy said.

"Such nonsense, do you think people in the world would believe it? Would you believe it?" Li Chengqian questioned.

"I believe, I, Tubo, is a country that keeps its promises! It is absolutely impossible to do anything that breaks promises." The Tubo envoy said.

As long as you can complete the task, you can do whatever you want. Anyway, when your upper lip touches your lower lip, you can't let yourself speak.

Li Chengqian was almost annoyed!Tubo was so brazen that he opened his mouth to talk nonsense, and he still didn't blush.

"No matter what you say, I will never agree. I would like to advise you, Tuyuhun is my Tang Dynasty's vassal state, and Nianyi Tubo is my Tang Dynasty's in-laws. This time, Tuyuhun is invaded, and the Tang Dynasty will not pursue it."

"But you must evacuate Tuyuhun immediately and return to Luosuo, otherwise, my Tang Dynasty will send troops to help Tuyuhun maintain stability, and you can retreat!" Li Chengqian said, not wanting to say any more nonsense to the Tubo envoy.

"I will definitely take the words of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty back to my Dalun intact, farewell!" After the Tubo envoy said, he saluted and retreated. He knew that there was no doubt that he would say more.

"My dear friends, what do you think about Tubo and Tuyuhun?" Li Chengqian asked after the Tubo envoy left.

"Report to Your Majesty! Judging from the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, I think it is inappropriate to have a conflict with Tubo, and peace is the most important thing." A minister came out and saluted.

The current Tang Dynasty is working hard to quell the rebellion, while accelerating the pace of the crusade against Goguryeo, and there is no extra energy to manage the affairs of Tubo and Tuyuhun.

"Then between Yi Aiqing, what should we do?" Li Chengqian asked.

"I think we can send envoys to negotiate peace with Tubo on behalf of Tuyuhun, hoping that Tubo can stop fighting and no longer invade Tuyuhun," said the minister.

"Then how do you plan to negotiate peace?" Li Chengqian asked again.

"I think that the land occupied by Tubo can be surrendered to Tubo in exchange for peace," said the minister.

The minister felt that this was the best solution at the moment. He negotiated peace with Tubo and ceded the occupied land of Tuyuhun to Tubo. Anyway, it was not his own.

"It's just ridiculous! I've never heard of being robbed by robbers, who robbed you of your things, and you still have to offer them with both hands, with a smile on your face."

"The wolfish ambitions of Tubo have already been revealed. You really think that peace talks can resolve the disputes between Tubo and Tuyuhun. It's simply fantastic."

"Tubo has never wavered in its determination to annex Tuyuhun. Once any compromise is made, he will make progress and slowly eat away at it until it completely annexes Tuyuhun." Li Chengqian said.

Minister has nothing to say!Had to go back.

"I received an urgent report from Mobei! Do you know what was said in the urgent report?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Majesty! What happened to Mobei again? And this matter is related to Tubo?" Zhongshu Ling Li Ke asked.

"In December of the previous year, the Gongyue and Shule tribes rebelled, and the Gongyue tribe attacked Khotan. I ordered Gao Xian, the governor of Anxi, to send troops to rescue the army."

"I thought that Gao Xian would be able to put down the rebellion of the Gongyue and Shule tribes very quickly, but who would have thought that Gao Xian sent someone to send an urgent report that the Gongyue and Shule tribes colluded with Tubo to invade Khotan." Li Cheng dry road.

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words!They didn't expect Tubo to be involved.

"Your Majesty! I think that we should send troops to reinforce Khotan at this time. Khotan is one of the four towns in Anxi. It plays a very important role and cannot be missed." The minister of the Ministry of War came out and saluted.

"I also have this intention. Shangguanyi drafted an edict, ordering Cui Zhibian, the governor of Xizhou, and Cao Jishu, the general of Zuowuwei, to lead the army. They can go to rescue Khotan. There must be no mistakes. Khotan must not be allowed to fall into the territory of Tubo. hand." Li Chengqian said.

"The minister leads the decree!" Shangguanyi came out and saluted.

"Retreat!" Li Chengqian got up and left the Xuanzheng Hall, and the ministers sent him away respectfully.

After the work meeting, the ministers left the Xuanzheng Hall and returned to their offices to handle official business.

After Shangguanyi drafted the edict, after being confirmed by the officials of the three provinces, it was sent to Li Chengqian, who drew the edict and stamped it, and then carried it out.
