Chapter 475
"How are you doing with the weights and measures?" Li Chengqian and Li Jue were playing in the Imperial Garden, and Li Chengqian asked about the recent progress of the weights and measures.

"According to the tools provided by the emperor, the new weights and measures have been promoted and will replace the old ones in a short time." Li Jue said.

"Well! In a few days, I will go to the south to inspect the local situation. As the prince, you will stay in Chang'an to supervise the country." Li Chengqian said.

The problem in the north has been resolved, the three small countries on the Liaodong Peninsula have been destroyed, and there is no threat to the east.

Tubo in the northwest has been conquered, and it has bowed its head again to become a vassal, so there is nothing to worry about, as for outside the Western Regions.

After Dashi was tidied up, he saw how powerful Datang was, and became more at ease. Datang even set up the Persian Governor's Mansion in Khorasan, the former land of the Persian Sassanian Dynasty, to manage the affairs and affairs of the Persian region. The relationship between food.

As for whether Belus will have any conflicts with Dashi, that is beyond his control. Anyway, now that the Khorasan area has been handed over to Belus, what to do is his problem.

"Yes! Father! I don't know how long it will take for Father to go to the south this time? Where do you have to pass?" Li Jue asked casually.

"What? Are you looking for my whereabouts? What do you want?" Li Chengqian asked.

"I don't have any other intentions. I just worry about my father. I know where my father is traveling in the south, so that the local state capital can welcome Shengjia." Li Jue hurriedly knelt down and explained, for fear that Li Chengqian might misunderstand something.

If that is the case, it will be a disaster, and a drama of abolishing the prince may be staged at any time.

Don't look at being a crown prince with infinite glory, in fact, you are walking on thin ice every day, trembling, for fear that if you do something wrong, you will be wrathed by the emperor.

"Get up! I'm just talking casually, but you kid is serious." Li Chengqian also felt that he was a bit suspicious when he did this, maybe he was like this when he was older.

There is no way, since ancient times the crown prince and the emperor have been the closest, but also the most unfamiliar people. No one knows whether a single sentence will lead to a situation where father and son can kill each other.

"Thank you, Father!" Li Jue stood up and thanked him, secretly heaving a sigh of relief, he would not take what Li Chengqian said just now seriously.

"Sit down! You and my father and son talk." Li Chengqian pointed to the stone bench in front of him and said.

Li Jue hurried into the gazebo and sat in front of Li Chengqian.

"During the time I'm not in Chang'an, I can rest assured that you have your third uncle and the others assisting you in handling government affairs."

"They are all veterans, and they are more familiar with handling government affairs than you. You need to learn more from them, and learn to understand everything. Don't be too rigid, you know?" Li Chengqian said.

"My son, remember the teachings of the emperor!" Li Jue said.

An eunuch in the distance hurried over and stopped outside the gazebo.

"Report to Your Majesty! The Tubo envoys request an audience with His Majesty!" the eunuch saluted.

"I see, let them go to the Xuanzheng Hall to meet them!" Li Chengqian said.

"No!" The eunuch bowed and retreated.

"I'm here today, you go back first! I'm going to see the Tubo envoy." Li Chengqian said.

"Resignation!" Li Jue stood up, saluted and left, returning to the East Palace.

"Foreign Minister Tubo Envoy Zhong Cong pays homage to Heaven Khan! Under the orders of Tubo Zanpu, I come to the Tang Dynasty to pay homage and pay tribute to treasures." As soon as Li Chengqian entered the Xuanzheng Hall, Tubo envoy Zhong Cong immediately saluted.

"Freedom of courtesy! Your Zanpu has a heart!" Li Chengqian came to the throne and sat down.

"Thank God Khan!" Zhong Cong thanked.

"I heard that you Tubo are a little restless, and your Tubo Zanpu is planning to send troops from Tubo to attack and occupy Tuyuhun. Is there such a thing?" Li Chengqian questioned.

Recently, Li Chengqian received news that after a period of recuperation, Tubo was not reconciled to the previous failure, and wanted to make a comeback and send troops to cause trouble again.

"This is a slander. I, Tubo, have always followed Tian Khan's will and kept myself safe. I have never had any delusions that I shouldn't have. Even if I have, it is definitely a rumor made by people with psychological problems. It must not be regarded as Zanpu's meaning, let alone It cannot represent the meaning of Tubo."

"The wife of my Tubo Zanpu Songtsan Gampo is Tian Khan's sister. Tubo and Datang are related by marriage. The current Zanpu is the grandson of the previous Zanpu Songtsan Gampo. Zanpu can be regarded as Tian Khan. Khan's grandson." Zhong Cong said.

This is to remind Li Chengqian of the relationship between Zanpu of Tubo and him, not to destroy the relationship of the "family" just because of other people's rumors.

Li Chengqian naturally understood, but Tubo, the grandson, has never wanted to do what a grandson should do. He always wants to be a grandfather, which is a bit bad.

"Compared your Zanpu and his grandfather, who is more wise?" Li Chengqian said.

"The current Zanpu is brave and decisive, not as good as his grandfather Songtsen Gampo. He is indeed a virtuous monarch who is diligent in government affairs and listens to advice. His subjects dare not lie to him."

"The place in Tubo is cold and the products are poor. There are only willows in Luosuo River, and there are no other vegetation. In the south of Wuhai, even in midsummer, there is even snow."

"Zan Mansion lives by water and grass in spring and summer, and enters the city in autumn and winter. However, there are tents and no houses. The use of cultural relics and utensils is less than one ten-thousandth of that in Midsummer."

However, the laws of the Tubo country are strict, and the top and bottom work together, discussing matters from the bottom up, and everything that is beneficial to the people will be carried out, so the Tubo country can last forever. "

"I heard that your Zanpu has been very dishonest recently. He often mobilizes troops recently. What is he planning to do?" Li Chengqian asked.

Although Tubo was defeated and bowed his head as a vassal, he was still not reconciled. Li Chengqian did not relax his monitoring of Tubo, and at the same time, vigorously supported Tuyuhun.

Today's Tuyuhun is not what it used to be, all pro-Tubo forces have been uprooted, and now the entire Tuyuhun is pro-Tang faction.

"Huitian Khan, the foreign minister can't answer this matter. The foreign minister is only ordered by my family Zanpu to come to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute. As for the military affairs, the foreign minister does not know anything about it." Zhong Cong said.

He was just an envoy ordered to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and he really didn't know anything about Tubo Zanpu's actions.

Even if it is clear, he will not tell Li Chengqian about it. Zhong Cong is a courtier of Tubo Zanpu. Although Tubo surrendered to Datang, he will not reveal any secrets about Tubo.

"You really don't know? Or do you know and don't want to say it?" Li Chengqian said.

"The foreign minister really doesn't know." Zhong Cong said.

"Okay, since you don't know, I won't make it difficult for you, but after you return to Tubo, help me bring a word to your Zanpu." Li Chengqian said.

"I also ask Tian Khan to express it clearly." Zhong Cong said.

"Go back and tell your Zanpu that my [-] elites from the Tang Dynasty are ready to fight. If you Tubo dare to send troops to Tuyuhun, our [-] elites from the Tang Dynasty will directly attack Luosuo City." Li Chengqian said.

"Tian Khan, don't worry, I will definitely take your words with you," Zhong Cong said.

Li Chengqian chatted with Zhong Cong for a while, and then let Zhong Cong leave.

On the same day, Li Chengqian treated Zhong Cong and his group warmly, making them feel at home.
