Chapter 1119 Zebei common people
The envoy froze for a moment.
Before leaving, Lu Dongzan ordered that this trip should make Datang feel the kindness of Tubo.
But just as he was about to speak, the queen flatly refused.
This is wrong!
"Queen, the Prime Minister has said that there is a deep misunderstanding between Tubo and Datang, but no amount of misunderstanding can be solved step by step, and getting married with Tuyuhun is the beginning!"
The envoy raised his head and said, "Princess Wencheng married Tubo in a distant place, and it was only then that there was a long-term peace between the two countries, which has been passed down as a good story."
Wu Mei said indifferently: "Tubo came to propose marriage in the fourteenth year of Zhenguan. At that time, the Tang Dynasty had already defeated Tubo, and it was very powerful. What's more important is that Hou Junji defeated Gaochang. For the first time, the Tang Dynasty set up the Duhufu The Western Regions. The establishment of the Anxi Protectorate made everyone in Tubo feel uneasy, so they wanted to ease the conflict through marriage..."
This period of history was told by the queen, and the prime ministers nodded frequently.
"The first emperor was merciful, so he agreed to the marriage, and thus the Tang Dynasty had nothing to do with Tubo. But what is the reason for this peace? It is not the marriage, but the invincible tiger of the Tang Dynasty!"
Color!
The prime ministers showed extraordinary splendor.
Wu Mei got up slowly, "Go back and tell Lu Dongzan that if you want to be good to your neighbors, the first thing is to put away his restless heart and keep his ambitions. Sooner or later, the two countries will fight each other."
Li Ji stood up, "Sent the messenger back!"
Qian Niuwei came in.
"Your envoy, please!"
The envoy was pale and stumbled.
He didn't expect Empress Datang to be so sharp and decisive.
He wanted to be fooled, to pretend to be stupid, but the pair of phoenix eyes behind the curtain were calm and calm, leaving him speechless.
Everyone is an old rival, what kind of sheep are you pretending to be!
Jia Ping'an is at the Ministry of War at the moment.
"The queen just met the Tubo envoy and reprimanded Tubo for being ambitious."
Wu Kui shook his head and praised: "The queen's words are really sharp!"
Sister is in control now.
Different from the emperor's illness in the past, Li Zhi's illness came on quickly and urgently this time. In the past, Li Zhi could still listen to Wang Zhongliang and others read the memorabilia and give instructions on how to deal with it. But this time the emperor completely fell down, and only Ajie was left alone to support the scene.
The big bosses of the military department are all here, Wang Xuan said with a smile: "Actually, there is no need to reprimand, just treat them indifferently."
Jia Pingan glanced at him, and Wu Kui immediately threw a knife, "That's the enemy, why use indifference when dealing with the enemy? What you want is sharpness."
"There must be a downfall between Tubo and Datang, otherwise there will be no peace."
Jia Ping'an made an assertion.
Historically, the century-old war between Tubo and Datang was quite tragic, but in most of the time, Datang had the upper hand. If it was not restricted by the terrain, Datang would definitely drive directly to some cities and completely wiped out Tubo.
Until the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty declined, and Tubo made a decisive move to take Longyou and the Hexi Corridor, cutting off the connection between Anxi and the mainland of the Tang Dynasty.
Followed by a 50-year-long attack, the Anxi Army persisted until the last soldier.
"Why?" Wang Xuan asked.
Jia Pingan said: "Whenever a power becomes stronger, there will be a driving force inside, making them stare at the surrounding area and expand to the surrounding area. Turkic is like this, Tubo is like this... They will stare at the fat land around them, salivating, Once the opportunity presented itself, he would not hesitate to make a move.”
Wu Kui said: "Only one side is completely defeated."
Jia Pingan shook his head, "There is another way."
Everyone looked at him.
"Mutual deterrence, mutual checks and balances!"
But Tubo's ambition could not be suppressed.
Jia Pingan looked to the west, "I don't know what happened to Xue Rengui."
…
"Drive!"
Several riders passed through the city, and then disappeared into the distance.
"Good news!"
They shouted all the way, beaming.
When they saw Chang'an City, the messengers straightened up.
"Great victory, Ashina Helu was captured!"
Chang'an City burst into cheers.
"The escaped Khan was captured?"
"No, every time I meet the army, I run away, and the army keeps harassing me as soon as they leave, just like clay. Now it's good, the heavenly soldiers were captured as soon as they arrived, and I have to take a good look at him when he arrives in Chang'an."
In the court hall, the queen smiled and said: "Xue Rengui defeated the enemy in the first battle, and even captured countless people, cattle and sheep. The Turkic vitality was greatly injured, good!"
Jia Ping'an was also in the court hall, looking at the beaming officials, what he thought of was the follow-up.
The messenger is quick to get the victory, and it will take longer for Tubo to get the news, and it will take longer to get the detailed news, so he concluded that it will be at least summer when Lu Dongzan receives the news.
It is good to send troops in summer, when the army arrives, it happens to be autumn, and the battle in autumn... a good time!
"Ashina Helu is captured, and he can be ordered to offer up his captives."
The queen was very happy, and went to the back after leaving the court.
Li Zhi was lying on the couch with an ugly expression.
"Your Majesty."
Wu Mei stepped forward.
Li Zhi opened his eyes, his eyes were blank, "Mei Niang."
Wu Mei stepped forward to hold his hand, "It's me."
"But something happened?"
Li Zhi didn't talk about his illness at the first time, but asked the government.
Wu Mei said: "The envoy from Tubo has come, and wants to make peace with Tuyuhun..."
Li Zhifan held her hand and asked, "Are you agreeing?"
"I scolded this person, the wolf ambition also wants to fool Datang."
"good!"
Li Zhi smiled, "Tubo is a great enemy. Remember, Tang and Tubo will always be enemies unless one falls down."
Wu Mei nodded, "Xue Rengui defeated the Turks, captured countless troops, and even captured Ashina Helu. Once the Turks are destroyed, the Tubo will probably not settle down once they get news."
"Ashina Helu was captured?" Li Zhi sat up, grabbed Wu Mei's hand, and said excitedly: "The Turks can't be harmed within ten years, and the Tang Dynasty only needs to keep weakening the Turks until they bow their heads." .”
"But Tubo will be restless." Wu Mei said.
Li Zhi said: "Then we will fight until they are safe. This battle is inevitable. No, the first battle cannot make them bow their heads. What did Jia Pingan say last time? In addition to the battle, we must supplement it with sowing discord."
…
The spring in some cities is long overdue.
Zheng Yang squatted diagonally across from a nobleman's house, looking at the gate pitifully.
The door is sometimes opened and sometimes closed, and guests are constantly coming in and out.
"Get out!" A guard yelled at Zheng Yang and several beggars.
Zheng Yang scrambled and ran away with the beggars, and the guards laughed from behind him.
He took out a small piece of dry biscuit from his arms, avoided the beggars vigilantly, and ate it bit by bit.
At the end of the meal, he even licked the crumbs from his dirty hands.
After turning to the place, he cooed a few times before climbing over the wall and entering.
Chen Wude didn't go out today, but heard the sound.
"how?"
Zheng Yang stood firm, patted his buttocks and said, "Those people are partying, but they can't get in."
"How do you look?"
The two entered the house.
"Most of them are indifferent when they go in, but they are all excited when they come out."
Chen Wude pondered for a long time.
"The only thing Tubo can use is the conflict between the Ludongzan family and the Zanpu family. Ludongzan has become a powerful minister, and Zanpu has been reduced to a puppet. This kind of contradiction is either you die or I live."
Zheng Yang said: "But most people are loyal to Lu Dongzan."
"Allegiance is one thing. Some people are reused, so they are desperate, but some people are left out. These people will have resentment. This resentment is not very big. What we have to do is to expand this resentment. meaning."
"Differentiation."
"right."
…
"President."
Lu Dongzan is very busy.
Most of the affairs of the state have come to him, and he can decide how to deal with them.
"What is it?"
Lu Dongzan asked.
"Someone spread rumors in private that the chancellor would punish those who approach Zanpu."
Lu Dongzan was silent.
After a long time, he waved his hand, "Let's go."
After the visitor left, Shan Dewu came in quietly.
"Keep an eye on Zamp."
"yes."
Shan Dewu went out quietly.
It took a long time before the sound came from the room.
"Young man, it's not good to be too eager."
…
Xincheng hurriedly got out of the carriage.
"How is the emperor today?"
The servant who greeted her said: "Your Majesty is still the same today."
When meeting Li Zhi, Xincheng asked about the situation.
"Everything I see is blurry now, and I have a splitting headache."
Li Zhi clenched his fist, "It's a great time, what a pity!"
This was his great time, but it was wasted because of his illness.
"The medical officers have no idea, what did Mr. Sun say?"
Wang Zhongliang next to him said: "Mr. Sun said, His Majesty's disease can only be cured if the brain is opened and the tumor is found. But today's medical skills absolutely cannot do this, so we can only raise it."
"How to raise it?" Xincheng asked.
Wang Zhongliang shook his head, "Pure heart and few desires, light diet."
Xincheng blurted out, "Isn't that from Fangwai?"
The emperor manages the court all day long, and the whole world is in his hands. How can he be pure-hearted and ascetic?
This is a knot!
"However, the medical officers have said that His Majesty's condition is not getting worse, but just a seizure."
What Wang Zhongliang didn't say was that he didn't know when he would recover from such an attack.
Xincheng felt relieved.
Out of the Daming Palace, the attendant Huang Shu asked: "Princess, but go back?"
Xincheng asked: "Is Xiao Jia in the Ministry of War?"
Where did Huang Shu know, so she had to ask.
"It's at the Ministry of War."
"I invited him to come home, I have something to ask."
Jia Ping'an has been very miserable these past few days, because the emperor's illness broke out, so he can only honestly squat in the Ministry of War.
"Duke, the people of Princess Xincheng have said, please go, and say you have something to ask."
What does Xiao Baihua want to ask?
Jia Pingan got up, "I'll go now."
Chen Jinfa asked: "Can the Duke return it?"
"decide as things go."
Brother went out to break the cage, so why come back?
Huang Shu was waiting outside and saw Jia Ping'an's body.
"The princess is going back first."
Jia Ping'an got on the horse, and Xu Xiaoyu asked, "Huang Shu, do you have a horse?"
Huang Shu said coldly: "I have a carriage."
…
"Princess, Duke Zhao is here."
Xincheng had just changed into a suit of clothes, when he heard this, he lowered his head and took a look.
Spring is beautiful.
Jia Pingan came in and saw that Xincheng was wearing a blue dress, and couldn't help but think of a song.
Xincheng took a look at him, and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed when he saw Jia Ping'an's eyes sweep over his body.
"Xiao Jia, how is the emperor's condition?"
Xincheng asked.
"Your Majesty's condition is still the same, but this time the attack is more urgent."
Jia Ping'an is not a doctor, so he can only judge Li Zhi's condition based on some memories.
Xincheng said worriedly: "I'm just worried..."
"Relax." Jia Pingan said: "Your Majesty's illness will not affect Shouyuan."
"Really?"
Xincheng asked excitedly as if Master Jia was the best doctor in the world.
"certainly."
Jia Ping'an's attitude is very firm.
Li Zhi still has almost twenty years of life, so it's too early to say.
Xincheng changed the subject, "Xiao Jia, haven't you been grounded?"
Yeah!
Jia Ping'an was stunned, "Why did I come out?"
I should go back and continue enjoying my skipping work life!
Xincheng ordered: "Go and make tea."
The maid went out, and only a man and a widow were left in the room.
I seem to be wrong.
Xincheng was a little embarrassed, thinking that no matter what, he had to keep someone here!
But Xiao Jia is a gentleman.
"Xiao Jia."
"What is it?"
Eyes met, Xincheng blushed.
The two sat next to each other, Xincheng lowered his head, and Jia Pingan saw a fair neck from the side.
Why is this girl blushing?
blushing red...
Jia Ping'an thought of the recent silence in Xincheng.
This girl should look for a son-in-law, right? But there was no movement.
"That's right." Xincheng raised his eyes, "I went to find the mage yesterday to pray for blessings. The Da Ci'en Temple's mage went to a temple outside the city. I thought about going out of the city to find the mage... I'm afraid the guards in the mansion can't do it, Xiao Jia..."
The guards in Xincheng Mansion are not bad, right?
In Jia Pingan's view, unless there is a planned ambush, the guards in the new city are enough to deal with ordinary thieves.
But who can tell?
"good!"
Jia Pingan agreed.
Xincheng got up.
Jia Pingan looked at her.
what does this mean?
"I want to change."
Say it early!
It is very troublesome for women to change clothes, change clothes, make up...
Jia Pingan felt that he had to wait for half an hour.
But in just half an hour, the new city came out.
A plain dress with a simple headgear. This is probably the dress for praying.
But Jia Pingan found some problems.
Xincheng's lip color is a bit wrong.
Reddish.
In the front yard, Huang Shu stood under the tree with her head held high.
"My lord has said that if I get married, I will guarantee a big house, and the furniture in the house will be made of high-quality wood and workmanship. I don't need to worry about everything, just bring my wife into the house."
Huang Shu stood with her hands behind her back, "Why are you telling me this?"
Xu Xiaoyu held back for a long time.
Huang Shu originally looked up, but now she looked down at him slightly.
Xu Xiaoyu blushed hard.
"I...I want to sleep with you."
…
When Jia Ping'an and Xincheng came out, they saw Xu Xiaoyu standing beside the carriage with a slap on his face, and Zhang Tingxiang scolding him with a heavy face.
"Who hit it?"
Jia Pingan was angry.
"I did it myself." Xu Xiaoyu said.
"I played it myself."
Jia Pingan didn't care.
After he got on the horse and Xin Cheng got into the carriage, Zhang Tingxiang sighed: "You want Huang Shu to have a good impression, you can't do that."
Xu Xiaoyu asked: "What should I do?"
"According to my many years of experience, the best way to do this is to send it away."
"what to give?"
"Send good things!"
Zhang Tingxiang still has a few brushes.
Huang Shu had already boarded the carriage, Xu Xiaoyu said, "Let's talk about it next time."
The party slowly arrived outside the city.
When we arrived at the temple, hundreds of people gathered outside.
"They all want to see the mage."
It only takes one look to know that these are disciples of the mage.
The car curtain was lifted, Huang Shu said to Xu Xiaoyu: "Hey! Go ask!"
Are you not angry anymore?
Xu Xiaoyu was overjoyed, and hurried to find the Zhike monk.
"Mages are busy."
The Zhike monk has a serious face.
A woman next to him said, "That's the mage, who you can see if you want?"
Xu Xiaoyu whispered, "My husband is Zhao Guogong."
The Zhike monk remained numb.
The woman smiled and said, "You still want to bribe? You are not afraid of being struck by lightning."
Xu Xiaoyu said: "Just report."
The Zhike monk took a look at the carriage and saw that the regulations were extraordinary, so he dawdled in.
The woman said: "Even if the princess comes, the mage won't see her."
Xu Xiaoyu got angry, "Then what are you waiting for here?"
The woman said proudly: "The mage is sympathetic to us and the people, and he will definitely come out and talk to us later."
Everyone smiles.
"Master is merciful." The woman chanted devoutly.
The Zhike monk came in a hurry, with an unconcealable surprise on his face.
"please."
It was agreed not to open the back door... Woman: "..."
The Zhike monk apologized, "The mage is discussing scriptures and will come out later."
The woman turned her anger into joy, "Master is busy, don't mind me waiting."
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the new city with a scorpion appeared.
But she was wearing a long skirt, so it was hard to get down at the moment.
Huang Shu brought the stool, Xincheng shook his head, "Be sincere."
You are sincere!
Jia Pingan went over and stretched out his hand, "Come!"
Xinchengbai's glowing face blushed a little, thinking of the last time when Jia Ping'an held hands.
She hesitated for a moment before putting her hand in Jia Pingan's.
Jia Pingan supported Xincheng's arm with the other hand, "Jump down."
Xincheng jumped down without hesitation.
She didn't panic at all when her body was suspended in the air.
Immediately, a force came from the arm, which easily supported her and landed easily.
The two entered through the side door.
When I saw Xuanzang, he was already in the quiet room.
"Meet the mage."
The two saluted.
Xuanzang laughed and said, "Why did Xiao Jia come here? Could it be that he asked the poor monk to write the scriptures? This time they are gone. When the poor monk returns to the city... nine days."
Jia Ping'an's thick skin blushed.
Since they got acquainted, Jia Ping'an asked Xuanzang to write scriptures by himself every once in a while, and in the past few years, he has accumulated more than ten copies.
The scriptures written by the mage himself, this thing Jia Ping'an intends to be the treasure of the town house, and each of the sons will distribute a copy, and no transfer is allowed.
He went to be buried with a book, let’s live together!
Xincheng's eyes lit up, and the thought master had been concentrating on translating the scriptures these years, and he had never heard of anyone he sent the scriptures to...Xiao Jia actually had one.
Want a copy!
But if Xiao Jia wants to exchange...what should I exchange with him?
Xincheng thought about a lot of things, but he didn’t think it could compare to the handwritten scriptures written by the mage.
"Master, the princess is here to pray for His Majesty."
Jia Pingan changed the subject and talked about the intention of Xincheng.
Xuanzang smiled, "Your majesty's illness is known to me."
Xincheng said: "Is it convenient for a mage?"
Xuanzang said: "It would be inconvenient for the poor monk to say that it is inconvenient, but since your Majesty ascended the throne, the Tang Dynasty has been flourishing, and it can be called a prosperous age. The poor monk also felt it in this prosperous age, and the poor monk is here today. How can I pray for His Majesty?"
Xincheng was surprised, "Mage..."
After returning from Tianzhu, Xuanzang lost the freedom to leave Chang'an. If you want to say that he has no complaints, it would be a lie, but Xuanzang's bearing is naturally extraordinary. He restrained his mind and concentrated on translating scriptures.
Gradually, he reduced his contact with the outside world, and he ignored things like praying for blessings.
Xincheng was excited, Fushen said: "Thank you mage!"
Xuanzang smiled peacefully, "There seems to be a gap between the secular world and Fang Wai, but if Fang Wai people want to practice purely, they need to be stable in the secular world."
Jia Ping'an said: "There are no eggs under an overturned nest."
Xuanzang nodded approvingly, "Fang Wai will be affected in troubled times, so naturally the poor monk should pray for such promising emperors, and also pray for the people of the Tang Dynasty. May the emperor be healthy and the people be safe."
Everyone saluted.
"Mage Mercy."
…
It’s the last two days, ask for a monthly pass!
