Datang: I show my cards, I am the emperor

Chapter 68 The Book of the Kingdom of Tibet, the Two Countries Are Friendly!

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the top, immediately got up and walked back and forth in place with his hands behind his back.

What Keming said is very true, the Tubo State is a big country, not a native of the Central Plains. "

"It has been eleven years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and in addition to the troubled times in the early years, there are still a few years of stability and peace. "

"But this Tubo will not come sooner or later, but choose this pass, if it is said that it is unintentional, I will never believe it. "

"The so-called those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come, all the secretaries must remember that they must not be slack. "

These important ministers of the court stood up one after another and saluted Li Shimin, indicating that they and others would keep this command firmly in their hearts.

"In that case, let's make a decision. "

"Let hundreds of people accompany the Tibetan mission at the border guard, protect the safety of the Tibetan mission along the way, and order the state capitals along the way to open the road and not obstruct it. "

"The herald Honglu Temple, presided over by the Great Honglu Li Daozong, before the Tubo delegation arrives in Chang'an, must prepare all the etiquette and welcoming ceremonies properly, and there must be no mistakes. "

"Order the Yulin Army and the Forbidden Army to strengthen the security in the palace and improve the guards. "

"Summoning Jingzhao Mansion and Jin Wuwei, these days to ensure the security of Chang'an City, whoever wants to rush to cause trouble for me in this gap, I can't spare him!"

The eldest grandson Wuji and other ministers stood up one after another and saluted Li Shimin together.

"Your Ministers obey!"

Then Li Shimin's study ...... was launched successively

After everyone left, Li Shimin's cold face tightened, he sighed, and half lay on his chair.

"Tubo, Tubo, it's not good when to come, just rush in this gap. "

"After delaying my plan to make a fortune, I will have to make a lot of money later and achieve internal freedom!"

"I hope Brother Wang can wait a little longer. "

......

With Li Shimin's approval, the entire Chang'an City quickly moved.

Along the streets, law and order began to be rectified, and teams of guards began to fill all corners of the palace, and the guards were several times more strict than before.

Soon, the news that the Tibetan envoy was coming to Chang'an gradually spread.

Even the people in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City are discussing this matter with relish every day.

Under the intensive arrangement, the Tubo delegation passed through the state all the way and quickly approached Chang'an City.

About five days before and after, a group of up to 500 ambassadors appeared in Chang'an City.

Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, received the delegation as a great Honglu.

On the day of the arrival of the mission, Li Shimin announced that a court meeting would be held in the early morning of the next day to receive the Tibetan envoys.

......

At the end of May of the second year of Zhenguan.

Emperor Li Shimin received the Tibetan envoys in the Taiji Hall of the Imperial City of Chang'an, and all the civil and military officials above the fifth rank in the court attended.

"Bell!".

At the moment when the court meeting was announced, the huge bronze bell hanging in the palace was rang by several guards, and the bell instantly enveloped the entire imperial city.

After the first bell, the drums also sounded

Li Shimin's figure appeared from the side of the Taiji Hall and slowly sat on the emperor's throne.

The ministers suddenly shouted long live.

It wasn't until Li Shimin motioned for everyone to flatten down that the bells and drums that resounded through the palace stopped.

"The envoys of the Xuantu Kingdom have come to the palace to meet you!".

One voice after another came out, and several foreign men who looked obviously very different from the people of the Central Plains were led up to the hall by the guards.

Behind the men were several things covered in red silk.

The three envoys, the first and second deputies, walked to the designated position, and then knelt down on the ground together and gave Li Shimin a big salute.

"Envoy Puye, see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

The civil and military officials watching on both sides nodded secretly.

The etiquette of the envoys of the Tibetan State is in place, at least in terms of salutation and kneeling.

Li Shimin smiled on his face, but said calmly in his heart: "A few messengers are even!"

After Puye stood up, he expressed his respect for Li Shimin's local etiquette in Tibet.

Then he said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, your subordinates have come this time precisely on the orders of our country's new Tsangpu Songtsen Gampo to bring you the most pious blessings. "

"May you live a long and blessed life!".

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, and also convey my blessings to him on behalf of me." "

Puye bowed, then turned and uncovered the red silk of the first item behind him, revealing a document inside.

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, this is a letter of state written by Zampu himself, and I hereby present it to you by the ministers. "

Li Shimin sat upright, and then the eunuch who was waiting on the side hurriedly walked down quickly, and took the credentials from Puye's hands with both hands.

The content of the national book is very simple, first touting the strong and rich national strength of the Tang Dynasty.

Then he modestly took a look at the weakness of the Tibetan state, and tried to survive in the cracks, and then expressed his hope for friendly coexistence between the two countries.

After Li Shimin read it, he put the national letter aside.

Then he said to Puye with a pleasant face: "Your country Zampu said in the national letter that I hope that you and I will get along with each other amicably, and I hope that there will be no soldiers to fight each other. "

"This is actually what I mean, my Datang is willing to coexist with the Tubo State in friendship and exchange with the state. "

"You and I should be friendly for generations to come, so that we can last for a thousand years!"

Li Shimin's etiquette and scene words are completely in place, no matter what he thinks in his heart, but at least he is extremely kind on the surface.

Anyway, if you promise a few words, you won't lose anything at all, and whether or not to maintain peace and long-term coexistence depends entirely on the needs of the Tang Dynasty.

When I really want to fight, I don't care about this so-called national letter.

And after listening to Li Shimin's words, Puye immediately knelt down again.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, your subordinates will convey your words to Zampu word for word, and Zanpu will surely be pleased with this. "
