Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin took the secret letter and read it again, and said: "The prince said that he will return in three days. Regarding the disposal of Tubo, we should wait for the prince to return. Everyone should go back and think about it first."

0 0…

Li Shimin glanced at Fang Xuanling and continued, "The Ministry of Commerce first drafted a charter for this matter, and then everyone will discuss the fate of the Tubo Kingdom, and the follow-up friendship."

Major matters have to wait for the prince to come back to discuss together, and there are no more court affairs, Li Shimin waved his hand and dispersed the court.

……

After Li Shimin returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he said to the servant Zhao: "Don't let Fang Xuanling and Li Ji go back, I want to see them."

Attendant Zhao agreed and went outside the Taiji Palace to invite Fang Xuanling and Li Ji to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Seeing the two of them, Li Shimin opened his mouth and said, "What do you think the Tubo country should do?"

Li Ji said loudly: "Tubo is the ambitious generation of the wolf, and the people who are not of our race will be punished. The minister thought that there was no need to keep it.

Li Shimin nodded and glanced at Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling knew that the emperor asked him to come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation obviously because he had something to discuss.

And when His Royal Highness sent a secret letter, no one saw it. When the emperor saw the secret letter, he said such a big thing. Obviously, His Royal Highness will also have the idea of ​​how to decide Tubo in the secret letter.

Therefore, Fang Xuanling did not understand why His Majesty asked the two of them to talk about this matter?

Since His Majesty and the Crown Prince have made a decision, why bother to discuss it with himself? .

Seeing Fang Xuanling's silence, Li Shimin pointed to the Taishi chair next to him and said, "Sit down and talk."

Fang Xuanling said: "This minister does not agree with Li Ji's statement. This kind of wild land needs to be slowly educated. Since he is willing to call the emperor Tiankehan, he also wishes to pay tribute every year. In the future, he will be my country of Tang Dynasty. Merger, that wild land will consume the energy and financial resources of the court! It's not worth it."

Li Ji said, "I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"

Li Shimin said: "There are no outsiders here, so I'll just say it straight. The reason why I called the two of you here is because you are the head of most civil and military ministers, and I want you to take the lead."

"The prince said in the secret letter that the Tibetans must be eradicated from the bottom up, but he conquered the Tibetans first by force. If you go back to eradicate the bottom, I'm afraid that the people of the Tubo people will rebel, and there will be problems in educating the Tibetans in the future."

When Li Shimin said this, Fang Xuanling didn't understand anything.

There are also many people in the imperial court who would not agree to eliminate Tibet from the ground up. After all, this is also a burden. The emperor wants the two of them to take the lead in advocating the elimination of Tibet and eliminate abnormal noises.

In order to deal with the Tubo people, His Royal Highness, on the surface, would let the Tubos come to him instead of eradicating them.To put it bluntly, it is to sing a play at the court for the people of Tubo to watch. The white face is played by the prince, and the black face is naturally played by the ministers.

Li Shimin looked at the two of them with a smile, both of them were naturally smart people, knowing that the black face could never be done by the Crown Prince.

Li Jidao: "Wei Chen understands that after the minister returns, he will contact the military generals to persuade the court to annex Tibet, so that there will be no more Tibet in the world!"

Li Shimin said: "When the prince enters the dynasty, there may be pressure on you..."

"The minister will never give up!"

Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince strongly advocated the extermination of Tubo, Fang Xuanling was willing to reserve his opinion.But he still asked Li Shimin to think more about the trouble it would bring to Datang after the merger.

Fang Xuanling's ideas are old and heavy, and it is not unreasonable. After all, if you annex a country, you have to consider the people's livelihood of this country. The Tubo country is relatively poor, and there are too many places to take care of.

But all three have an idea. Since Li You insisted on annexation, he must also consider the livelihood of the Tubo people... Post-war reconstruction will be a major event for the court.

Moreover, the Tubo people have to settle down, and they have to have food to eat for a long time. After the merger, these are all matters of the imperial court.

……

His Royal Highness will return triumphantly in three days, and the news spread throughout Chang'an immediately!

For a long time, the cloudy clouds over Chang'an suddenly became clear.

Since it is a triumphant return, it is natural that the Tang Dynasty won the battle, and it was also heard that Songtsen Gampo was captured alive, and the people's hearts were greatly lifted.

Li Jing also returned to Chang'an, and the people were running around to tell each other, like a big happy event.

This is naturally the biggest happy event for the common people, and the East Palace is even more decorated with lanterns, ready to welcome the prince back to the palace.

The East Palace is more concerned about the safety of the prince than the imperial court, and now it is more festive than anyone else.

Xiao Zhu was even more happy, and he greeted all the servants to clean the East Palace early, and just waited for Li You to come back.

……

Three days in the blink of an eye.

On this day, all officials of the third rank and above in Chang'an greeted them outside the ten-mile pavilion. If the entire Chang'an had a major festival, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Tang Dynasty has attached great importance to the triumphant return of foreign generals, and this time is even more extraordinary.

On the streets of Chang'an, the people spontaneously sprinkled water to clear the streets, and the streets on both sides were full of lights, and even the Langguan who heard the news even set his wedding day on this day to feel happy.

The ten-mile pavilion was crowded with many officials of the court, and Li Shimin did not ride on the dragon carriage, but walked with his ministers on foot.

The reason why Li Shimin attaches so much importance to Li You's return is that he has contributed a lot this time, that he really misses him, and that Li You is indeed his pride.

Today is a good day with the wind and the sun shining brightly.

"I take special care of it all day long..." A minister sighed.

All the ministers were looking forward to it, and from time to time they would visit the horses to run back and forth, reporting where His Royal Highness and his party had gone.

After noon, there was the sound of hooves in the distance, and some people held their breath.

Li Shimin smiled and greeted him from afar.When a group of horses approached, the ministers could see clearly that this group of people was really simple, with only forty or fifty people guarding, which was far from the imposing force of the imaginary army, and there were two prison carts behind.
