Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

Di Renjie next to him said solemnly: "There is no medical book saying that gold can cure diseases. It should be that that person is short of money compared to others."

Everyone roared with laughter, Du Shaoqing nodded and said: "Although gold can't cure diseases, it can make people forget a lot of troubles. Haven't you noticed? Most of the people who come to see a doctor here are poor people, and the really rich rich people Rarely come, why?"

"Hey, what's the point? Rich people always invite doctors to come to see a doctor. How can anyone come out and line up in person?" Sanhu said loudly.

I, Du Shaoqing, was dumbfounded, thinking how could I have forgotten this?It seems that even if you want to tell a joke in Datang, you can't tell it, it's not the time.

"Shopkeeper, don't be a fool, we are all concerned about how many treasures have been dug out?" Er Hu urged.

"5 taels of gold and 50 taels of silver, that's all, and all of them were transferred to the treasury by His Majesty on the spot to be used as the country's basic silver deposits."

ah?Everyone's mouth was wide open, and they didn't know whether they were surprised by the amount of money or disappointed that all the money was returned to the public.

While the people in Chang'an were busy discussing the treasures of the Du family's construction site, the army of Hou Jun gathered in the southwestern direction of the Tang Dynasty. After a whole winter of dormancy, there was finally movement.

According to Du Shaoqing's plan at the beginning, taking advantage of Tubo's weak national strength and no soldiers to defend, the Tang army stood firm on the border and gradually encroached. Advance three to five miles a day.

But even so, there was no one in Tubo to defend the border. In one winter and one spring, the Tang army advanced 5 miles. The important thing is that the Tang army with [-] people has completely overcome the altitude sickness.

So after the beginning of spring, when the climate warmed up and the glaciers on the plateau just melted, Hou Junji was gearing up for a war of annihilating the country.

On the Tubo side, Songtsan Gampo, the descendant of Lhasa who fled back to the capital in a panic, was still in shock, and immediately ordered heavy troops to deploy defenses, but where are there any soldiers in Tubo?

At the beginning, in order to avenge Prime Minister Lu Dongzan, 20 people from the whole country were mobilized, and even many soldiers guarding the city along the way were transferred away.

In his opinion, facing Datang is a battle that must be won. It can not only plunder and enrich the Tubo treasury, but also force Datang to send a princess to enrich his harem and embrace a beautiful woman. It can be said that it is the best of both worlds. Revenge, kill three birds with one stone.

But no one expected that because of the interference of a small pebble, Du Shaoqing, Datang would change his conservative style in the past, and fight Tubo in a hasty head-on confrontation.

Songtsan Gampo never expected the ending of throwing away his helmet and armor and losing everything.

Knowing that there were only ten thousand remnants under his command, Songtsan Gampo almost vomited blood and died of anger, but thinking that winter was about to begin, as long as the mountains were covered by heavy snow, the Tang army would never be able to attack, so he bowed to the snow mountain behind him. Three obeisances, peace of mind, I said that as long as I give myself a year to recuperate, I can make a comeback.

But he never imagined that the Tang army was not idle this winter, advancing every day to gradually eat away at it. When Songtsan Gampo heard the news, he cursed at the Tang army. He was despicable and didn't let him feel at ease even during the New Year. Forced to die?

So in order to stop the Tang army, he forcibly recruited troops and organized [-] new recruits to stop the Tang army. How could the [-] fresh melon eggs be Hou Junji's opponent? After being easily defeated, Songtsan Gampo never sent troops again.

Instead, gather all forces to defend the capital of the country and protect some cities. No matter what the outside world is like, as long as the capital is still there, he will still be the king of the country.

When this decision was made, this talented and generous monarch already had a sad feeling of a hero's end. He couldn't figure out why Tubo suffered such a complete defeat in just half a year?Is the plateau god no longer sheltering?Did the people of Tang Dynasty break the curse and no longer fear the punishment of the gods?

Trembling through the winter, when the Tang army approached the city, Songtsan Gambo knew that he could not hold on. The [-] troops defending the city had no fighting spirit at all, and they were still standing at the top of the city without turning against each other. Not bad.

According to intelligence, when the Tang army attacked Medog, the second largest city in Tubo, there was not a single soldier in Medog, and even the local guards lined up to welcome the Tang army into the city.

Looking at the Tang army with banners and banners all over the city, and the general Hou Junji at the head, Songtsan Gampo, who was silent for a long time, drew his sword and killed himself with a face full of unwillingness. A generation of kings fell from the top of the city, symbolizing the collapse of the new nation of Tubo. , as swift as a comet.

Songtsan Gampo and Lu Dongzan joined forces to unify Tubo and establish a political power for more than ten years. However, it was only ten years after the establishment of the country, and it was destroyed by the powerful country in the east.

In the city of Chang'an, Li Er was watching a group of ministers' fierce controversy in the Yizheng Palace that day. The reason was the digging of treasures at the construction site. Because treasures were repeatedly dug up at the Du family's construction site, the people of Chang'an followed suit, and they all dug in their own yards. , hoping that if a box of treasures is dug out, it will be prosperous.

Chang'an, the ancient capital of the Qin and Han Dynasties, really had a lot of underground storage. Many people dug up things, but they didn't have much money, and most of them were antiques. It was these antiques that the courtiers were arguing about.

Some people say that these things are useless things from the previous dynasty, and some people say that they are unlucky tomb objects, so they dismiss them.

But knowledgeable people say that many of these antiques are of research value and play an important role in restoring the history of the previous generation. Therefore, it is best for the court to order the collection or repurchase of antiques.

When the two sides could not settle down, a long chant came from outside the palace gate, great victory, great victory in the Southwest!

Li Er frowned, "I seem to have heard the sound of a great victory?"

Chapter 300 The Prince Who Stands Up

The gate of the palace was pushed open, and the guards trotted in, "Your Majesty, great victory, urgent message for [-] miles, great victory in the southwest, the destruction of Tubo!"

Tibet?Flat out?The officials below are a little out of their wits. It's not summer yet, and there is no movement at all. Why is there news of the destruction of the country?

But the emperor had already strode towards the gate of the palace. The news of the victory was delivered urgently within [-] miles. The messenger traveled all the way from Tubo to the middle of Sichuan. Four guards carried it in.

The messenger's lips were chapped, his face was almost bloodless, and his face was covered with dust, but his eyes were extremely bright. He was lifted up to see the emperor, mustering the last of his strength, the messenger shouted in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, General Hou led a large army and drove straight in, smashing Tubo like a bamboo, and Tubo Songtsan Gampo killed himself on the top of the city."

After finishing speaking, he wanted to put his right hand into his bosom to take out Baojiegong, but he had no strength left. He tilted his head and passed out. Li Er himself stepped forward and squatted down to sniff, "It's okay, I still have breath. Hurry up and send it to the Tai Hospital for emergency treatment." , a reward of [-], and a cart of silk!"

After taking the messenger, Mr. Huaizhong, he was carried away to the doctor. Li Er opened it and saw that it was Hou Junji's own handwriting. After reading the whole article, there was a kind of heroic spirit in his chest, destroying the country?Since Zhenguan destroyed the Eastern Turks in four years, the Tang Dynasty destroyed another country in just one year, and Tubo, the so-called overlord of the southwest, who else is the opponent of the Tang Dynasty in this world?

"Here's an order for the small court meeting in the Palace of Political Affairs. In addition, Du Shaoqing, the son-in-law, is called to the palace to attend."

What is the meeting about?Hou Junji is the Shangshu of the Ministry of War and is now the head of the Tang Military Department. How much achievement has he made to conquer a big country by himself?So we must discuss the issue of rewards.

In addition, Hou Junji's army is already on the way back. If Tubo is defeated, people will definitely be sent to manage it. Whether to build state roads, or follow the example of the Western Regions to build a Protectorate, these must be discussed and implemented immediately.

What is Du Shaoqing doing?When many people in the Yizheng Hall were discussing whether they wanted antiques, he was already spending money to buy them. As long as they were antiques, even if it was a pre-Qin pottery pot or a piece of bamboo, the Du family would accept them, and even the fragments would be bought at a low price. He also devoted himself to formulating a set of acquisition pricing.

It is estimated that by the time the people in the court discuss the reason, all the antiques dug up in Chang'an City should be in Du Shaoqing's hands. Others don't know the value of these things, but Du Shaoqing knows very well that Youdao is an antique in a prosperous age. Gold, the Tang Dynasty is about to usher in at least a hundred years of prosperity. These things of the ancients, with a little publicity, are invaluable.

Even if it is not sold as an antique, the value of many things is immeasurable just by research, such as the bronze tripod engraved with ancient times, such as the many black technologies made by Zhang Heng in the Han Dynasty, in the eyes of the people of Tang Dynasty, they are strange skills and ingenuity, but in Du Shaoqing's place, that It is priceless.

Du Shaoqing, who was ranked at the bottom according to the seat, really had no intention of participating in these political discussions, but after hearing the plans they said, Du Shaoqing couldn't help but refute, and almost angered these people for being short-sighted.

Although Tubo is a place of bitter cold on the high plateau, it is very rich in natural resources. These people even strongly support the establishment of the Protectorate, the implementation of regional autonomy, and the supervision of the Tang Dynasty. Is it true that the Tang Dynasty is so poor that it can't even send political officials?

So Du Shaoqing got up angrily, and said in a loud voice: "If you want to achieve long-term peace and stability in the Southwest, the only way to do it is to enter the territory of the Tang Dynasty and implement state road control, just like the other ten roads in the Tang Dynasty.

If not, with the method of Duhufu, when the country is strong, the local people bow their heads and obey their ears. Once the country is unstable, the Duhufu will be useless. It seems to be the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact it is useless. By then, the soldiers who died in the previous generation , Isn't the sacrifice in vain? "

"My son-in-law is careful, Your Majesty is wise, our national power will only get stronger and stronger, how can there be a time when our national power becomes weak? Don't scare and curse the fate of the Tang Dynasty." An old minister interrupted.

"Who can guarantee that a country and a dynasty will last for tens of thousands of years? If these false flattery are useful, then the Great Qin, the first emperor thousands of years ago, would not have died in the second generation. It is better to be pragmatic when talking about government and state policies, so as not to cause disasters for future generations. "Du Shaoqing replied disdainfully, he was not in the mood to be polite to this person, and he didn't even know him.

Your Majesty?

Emperor Li Erxin said that this son-in-law is also true, although the words are reasonable, there is no need to be so blunt, he coughed lightly and said: "Okay, what Shaoqing said is reasonable, and it is better for the ministers to discuss things with practical strategies to rejuvenate the country, so there is no need to talk about lies.

What I mean is that the state roads are set up in the southwest to govern as a whole, but in terms of the selection of candidates, who is the right one to send? "

Wang Si, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, asked Du Shaoqing: "The son-in-law's words of long-term peace and stability are very reasonable, but Tubo is bitter and cold, and we may not get any benefits from eating it. If it is not good, the Tang Dynasty will support local development every year. It is like tasteless food. It’s a pity to abandon it.”

"How could it be? Although the food production in Tubo is difficult, other precious resources there are extremely rich. I'm afraid you don't know it. As far as I know, there are no less than dozens of rare medicinal materials there, which are not available in our Central Plains. And they can development of animal husbandry”

Before Du Shaoqing could finish his sentence, the old minister who had just been bullied just said: "Since Consort Du is so familiar with the situation in Tubo, why not let him take care of it. If someone else doesn't know about Tubo, I'm afraid no one will be able to take on this task."

Um?Du Shaoqing's words froze, he glared at the old man, and cursed in his heart, who are you?

Who knew that Changsun Wuji also came out to make up for it at this time: "Consort Du, I wonder if you are willing to shoulder the heavy responsibility of governing Tubo for the Tang Dynasty? I heard that you know the local customs so well, I am afraid that the military officials are better than you. A suitable candidate."

"Don't go!" Du Shaoqing stood up and turned his face on Changsun Wuji.

Um?Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then there were mixed praises and criticisms for the attitude of the young son-in-law. Some people were jokingly waiting to see a good show, some people were indignant, thinking that Du Shaoqing was unwilling to share worries for the country, and some people were worried about him. After all, this is a small court meeting, so it shouldn't be presumptuous.
