But just after Li Changqing learned the whereabouts of the imperial seal from Queen Xiao, a guard came in

"Report to King Wu! The Prime Minister of Tubo asks to see you!"

"Prime Minister of Tubo?

Hearing the word Tubo, Li Changqing's eyebrows immediately sharpened.

On that day, Jieli Khan's 250,000 troops came to Chang'an, including 50,000 troops sent by Tubo.

He sneered and said:"I have just been destroyed." Turks, the army still needs to be repaired. In the spring of next year, we will send troops into Tubo. Unexpectedly, Tubo would send its prime minister here"

"Announce him to come in!"

"promise!"

After a while, the Prime Minister of Tubo, who was dressed in an obviously exotic style, came to the lobby under the leadership of the guards. The

Prime Minister of Tubo was a middle-aged man with a slightly stature. He looked harmless to humans and animals, but he had a pair of His eyes revealed a shrewd light. As soon as he entered the lobby, when he saw Li Changqing, he immediately bowed and saluted, saying:

"The foreign minister Kullu, the Prime Minister of Tibet, meets King Wu!"

The words, deeds and etiquette are all in place, and you can't find a single fault.

Li Changqing said lightly:"A month ago, the Turkic Khan Xie Li took advantage of Tubo to attack Yumen Pass, and went all the way south to Chang'an. Among them, Tubo has contributed a lot."

Although the voice was calm, Kullu could feel the murderous intent that shot up to the sky.

He trembled all over and quickly bowed down and said:"How dare you let King Wu know about it? Everyone in Tubo knows that you have offended the power of the Tang Dynasty. Special foreign ministers were sent to Youzhou to plead guilty to King Wu and pray for his forgiveness! Li

Changqing snorted coldly and said:"The Turks controlled millions of people, but they also perished under the iron hoof of the few." Tubo did not know the power of Heaven and repeatedly committed offensive acts. Do you still dare to come and plead guilty now?

Someone came and pulled down the Prime Minister of Tubo and chopped him down. The head was sent back to Tubo to show their anger!"

Two murderous guards with swords on the left and right walked forward. The Tibetan Prime Minister Korlu suddenly turned pale with fright and collapsed to the ground.

He shouted:"King Wu, spare your life! King Wu, spare your life! The foreign minister came with sincerity and asked King Wu to calm down!"

Li Changqing raised his hand, and the two guards stopped. They looked at the Tibetan Prime Minister with great interest and said,"Tell me, why do you come here with sincerity?

Tubo said hurriedly:"From today onwards, Tubo is willing to pay tribute to King Wu every year." And marry a princess and make peace with King Wu!"

Hearing this, Empress Xiao and Yang Wanzhi, who were still in the Tang Dynasty, both changed their faces and looked incredulous.

During the Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains dynasty was weak and suffered repeated foreign invasions. At one time, it paid tribute to the Eastern Turks and made marriage.

The first one married After the princess of the Eastern Turks died of illness, Qimin Khan once again asked Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty for a princess. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty really agreed and married Princess Yicheng.

This was the shame of the Sui Dynasty!

Although Tubo was not as good as the Eastern Turks The Turks are powerful, but the Sui Dynasty will not easily recruit them.

But now, in just two years, after Li Changqing took charge of the world, the Eastern Turks were destroyed, and Tubo took the initiative to make peace, declare itself a vassal and pay tribute.

This was simply something the Sui Dynasty would not dare to do!

Yang Wanzhi The eyes that looked at Li Changqing were full of admiration.

Li Changqing's expression softened a little when he heard that Tubo actually wanted to pay tribute and marry.

When Tubo met, he immediately said:"Tubo is willing to pay thirty carts of silver to King Wu every year. Three thousand slaves! The married princess is also Zamp’s most beloved daughter. Today, my friend is fifteen, and she is the most beautiful woman in Tubo."

Thirty carts of silver is about one hundred thousand taels.

One hundred thousand taels of silver is a huge sum of money, enough to sustain an army of one hundred thousand people for several months.

Three thousand slaves are also a very good labor force..

But Li Changqing seemed dissatisfied, with a lack of interest on his face and said:

"The annual tribute is fifty carts of silver and five thousand slaves! In addition, we need to cede 300 miles of land to the Tang Dynasty!"

When the Tibetan Prime Minister heard this, his face turned pale and he was horrified.

He only paid fifty carts of silver and five thousand slaves as tribute.

He could cede three hundred miles of land!

How could he agree to this!

"King Wu, the matter of ceding territory……"

Halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Li Changqing

"Either agree, or I will lead an army to conquer Tubo!"

Li Changqing's attitude was so tough and domineering, which made the Prime Minister of Tubo extremely angry.

But even though he was angry in his heart, he did not dare to show a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

After a long time, he Opening his eyes, his eyes were full of deep fear and shame.

Finally, he slowly spoke:"Foreign Minister Dai Zanpu agreed to King Wu's conditions. I hope that from now on, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo will always be friendly."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have been emptied out.

On the side, Queen Xiao and Yang Wanzhi's eyes almost fell out of their surprise.

They agreed to such harsh conditions by ceding three hundred miles of land.

This is too unbelievable!

The power of King Wu is so great!

Li Changqing put his hands on his hands and smiled, saying:"Such a great kindness!"

The Prime Minister of Tubo asked:"As for the princess who is getting married, I don't know when she will be sent to Youzhou?"

Li Changqing said:"The palace for me is under construction. After the construction of Tiance Palace is completed, a nationwide draft will be held to enrich the harem. At that time, you can just send the wedding princess. The Prime Minister of Tubo asked again:"

May I ask King Wu, can the princess of my country be the master of the East and West palaces?""

He knows the culture of the Central Plains very well and knows that Li Changqing's harem structure is the same as that of the emperor. Under the queen, there are two palaces, the east and west. These are the three wives with the highest status.

The other concubines are all just concubines.

Li Xiuning answered for Li Changqing:" The master of the East Palace has been decided. Whether you, Princess Tubo, can be the master of the West Palace depends on her personal appearance and talents."

The Prime Minister of Tibet wanted to ask more questions, but Li Changqing didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he asked the guards to take him down.

Seeing that the Prime Minister of Tibet was gone, Empress Xiao sighed:"The power of King Wu actually made Tubo bow down to this point! The Sui Dynasty was not as good as this! Yang

Wanzhi looked at Li Changqing quietly, her eyes sparkling with starlight.

Li Changqing smiled faintly and said:"Tubo violated our Han and Tang Tianwei, made a marriage and paid tribute, and ceded three hundred miles of land. It was already an advantage for him."

If the White Robe Army had not just destroyed the Turks, they would need to rest and recuperate. I will raise a large army to march westward, crush Tubo, and shock all directions!"_To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
