Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Companion to a king is like companion to a tiger, that's the reason.

After a long time, Shang Xiang spoke, "Your Majesty, although what I said may not sound very pleasant, what Chen Xuanzang said is actually the truth."

"And I believe that your Majesty's wise vision has already seen Datang's layout. Ever since Datang sold us weapons and armor, the foreshadowing has actually been laid."

"But we don't have any choice. If we were able to contact all the enemies of Datang and launch an attack together, we might still have a chance. But now, we have no chance."

Lun Kerr, who was next to him, waited for Shang Xiang to talk about this, and he also took the initiative to speak, and Shang Xiang could not bear the firepower alone, "In other words, there was no chance back then, because it was impossible for us to unite with all the enemies of Datang. , no one can do that.”

"Now the Tang Dynasty has deployed heavy troops in places like Yuzhang Road, Mingda Island, and Xincheng Island."

"These soldiers are at least [-] elite. Even if we attack with all our strength, limited by the terrain, we may not be able to attack them. The most critical factor for taking these ports and islands is to solve the problem of Datang's navy. .”

"But on the sea, Datang is invincible."

"And the three islands have actually exposed Datang's ambitions for the Tianzhu Peninsula long ago."

"Looking at Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, Queen's Kingdom, Zhenla, Pyu, Xueyantuo, Shiwei, Khitan, Xibu and other small countries around the Tang Dynasty, it can be seen that the national strategy of the Tang Dynasty was actually early. It was worked out many years ago."

"When Datang began to encroach on these countries, no country could react. By the time they reacted, it was too late."

"Of course, the most important thing is that Datang must have a new smelting technology in the country. Otherwise, Datang would not be able to produce so much steel! Just such smelting technology will make all the enemies of Datang None can resist!"

"I don't want to persuade His Majesty to surrender, but what Chen Xuanzang said is indeed His Majesty's best chance, and His Majesty will indeed become the prince of the Great Tang, and as the prince of the Great Tang, his status is much stronger than that of the kings of the Tang Dynasty. "

"And from all aspects, His Majesty has fought for so many years, and he should enjoy it. But if His Majesty wants to fight to the end, then the old minister is willing to accompany His Majesty, even if he dies on the battlefield, the old minister will not regret it." Lun Kerr said calmly. .

What he said came from the heart. He was older and everyone was afraid of death, but when he had no choice, of course he had to choose the best path.

The words of Shang Xiang and Lun Keer made Songtsen Gampo silent for a moment, but he was not angry. In the past two years in Tianzhu, Songtsan Gampo did not do nothing. Since he decided to learn Datang, he must learn from In terms of orientation, Songtsan Gampo has been familiar with the changes in the Tang Dynasty over the years.

Many things can always find some tracks as long as they think carefully, especially the King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, who can be said to be a talent for managing the world, and Li Shimin's Zen position also proves this point.

Although there is no evidence for many things, for example, Datang wanted to unify and annex all small countries many years ago. There is no evidence for this kind of thing.

But these things don't need proof either.

The hall continued to be quiet, and the expression on Songtsan Gampo's face changed quickly. Obviously, he was also engaged in a fierce ideological struggle in his heart, but this ideological struggle was actually just like that sentence.

When a person starts to struggle with his thoughts, he actually already has the answer in his heart. He just needs others to give him a push.

Soon, Songtsan Gampo asked Shang Xiang and Lun Kerr to go back first, and he needed to think for himself.

When it was time for dinner, the imperial cook who was in charge of cooking brought out today's dinner, which included roast lamb, some vegetables and rice.

These things are regarded as the most high-end food in Tubo. For example, things like rice were not available in Tubo in the past, and they can only be grown on this plain.

The roast sheep is sprinkled with salt and a lot of spices, and you can usually eat roast beef and the like, but you dare not eat more beef, because Tubo also lacks animal power.

Although they also eat marinated horse meat, the taste is not good, especially in the hot weather in Tianzhu, if the marinated horse meat is not handled properly, it will easily spoil.

In addition, there are not many vegetables, and a considerable part of the vegetables are actually bought from the port of Datang, and some merchants of Datang brought them here to do business here.

This is all that can be eaten, and they rotate back and forth, eating and eating. Songtsan Gampo thought of what Chen Xuanzang said, and he suddenly became angry. up.

All the maids serving Songtsan Gampo around were startled, and knelt down on the ground, not daring to speak. The guards outside the door rushed in, but they didn't dare to come over. They just knelt on one knee and waited for Songtsan Gampo. order.

"Go, call Shang Xiang and Lun Kerr over." Songtsan Gampo said directly.

"Yes!"

Shang Xiang and Lun Keer lived not far from here, they arrived soon, and after entering, they saw the food thrown away by Songtsan Gampo.

Neither of them spoke. They didn't know why Songtsan Gampo got angry.

"I am ready to surrender, or in Chen Xuanzang's words, I am ready to take the initiative to lead the Tibetan people back to the Tang Dynasty." Songtsan Gampo said with some self-mockery.

"I will support His Majesty's decision." The two were silent for a moment before speaking.

"Call Chen Xuanzang over tomorrow, even if I return to the Great Tang, I want to be the prince or first-rank title of the Great Tang! I want to marry the princess of the Great Tang!" Songtsan Gampo said viciously.

The two did not speak.

……

"Impossible!" Chen Xuanzang shook his head bluntly. He looked at Songtsan Gampo above and said, "It is probably no problem to confer a first-rank title on His Majesty, but it is absolutely impossible to marry a princess. Because in the Tang Dynasty, even The engagements between those aristocratic families and Her Highness the Princess have already been cancelled, how much effort the current Majesty put in to cancel the engagement of Her Highness Princess Changle, I can tell you about it."

"Of course, His Majesty now advocates free love in the Tang Dynasty, at least in the royal family. His Majesty will not force any princess to marry, but allows these princesses to choose their own husbands and choose what they like. If Your Excellency If you go to Chang'an, you can win the favor of a certain princess, that's no problem. But it's impossible for His Majesty to order a marriage."

Chen Xuanzang answered firmly.

Songtsan Gampo was immediately depressed, because he had indeed heard about it, but after the princess?This seems... a bit difficult, although he is only 24 years old this year.
