Li Shimin's response, or rather the court's response, was very quick. Li Shen's memorial was sent to Zhongshu Province.
Zhongshu immediately sent it to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin quickly issued an order for Li Shen to send the person to the harem.
It was temporarily placed in Daji Hall, where Li Shen's mother, Concubine Wei, was, and additional personnel were assigned to guard it.
After all, Sam was considered a princess, so she couldn't just let Li Shen be kept in the palace like a prisoner.
This is a kind of disrespect for the imperial power. In fact, this is the tacit understanding of vested interest groups.
After receiving the order, Li Shen arranged for the guards to personally escort Sam Gar into the palace. Zhao Tiejun had already explained that Sam Gar had no martial arts skills and was just an ordinary girl, not aggressive.
Otherwise, Li Shen wouldn't be able to trust him and put him in Daji Hall.
Entering the palace, this Tubo girl who had never been to the Central Plains was shocked by the grandeur of the palace. The towering palace walls, wide city gates, and beautiful palaces were all much better than their stone palaces.
When they arrived at Daji Hall, Concubine Wei was already waiting at the door. She also received an order from her son to bring back a princess from Tubo.
Concubine Wei was shocked at that time. This son really stole everything. Now he has started to steal people?
"I've met my concubine." Li Shen saluted Concubine Wei, then stepped forward to help Concubine Wei towards the Daji Hall.
"You kid, it's not good to steal anything. You have to steal someone back." Concubine Wei complained. It would have a bad influence on her son's character if word spread about it.
"Mother Concubine, I didn't steal this back, my head guard happened to see her while performing his mission and stole it out by the way.
The mother-in-law child was wronged. I never thought that Zhao Tiejun would steal such a thing. "
Li Shen began to cry out, saying, "What does this have to do with him? He is also the victim."
"Hmph, what kind of general brings out what kind of soldiers, they are all just like you, greedy for vanity." At this time, a voice came from behind.
Li Shen turned around and saw that it was Li Shimin, and quickly greeted Li Shimin.
"Met everyone."
"I've seen Aye."
"Are you the sister of Tubo Zampo Songtsen Gampo, Samaga?" Li Shimin nodded and glanced at Samaga next to him and asked.
"Sam Ga meets His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Sam Ga saluted Li Shimin. After all, this man is the emperor of Tang Dynasty.
"Well, your brother has attacked our border with the Tang Dynasty again and again, but we have never attacked you once. Do you know why?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.
"Because we are blessed by the gods, soldiers from the Central Plains who go deep into Tibet will be cursed by the gods." Samga replied firmly.
"Curse? Hahaha, that's ridiculous. That's because we, the Tang Dynasty, are a country of etiquette, and we don't want your Tubo people to be devastated. Otherwise, do you think you, the Tubo people, can still be around? Just like this time, our soldiers have not been cursed."
Li Shimin was very happy. It wasn't that he didn't want to fight against Tubo for many years, but the altitude sickness made him afraid to go deep. Now Li Shen's bodyguards can actually reach the capital of Tubo.
This proves that Li Shen is correct in saying that it is not a curse but a disease. It is because the people of the Central Plains are not used to their terrain.
Then we only need to arrange tens of thousands of people to go to Tubo or Tuyuhun every year to adapt to the terrain and go deeper bit by bit.
In a few years, the Tang Dynasty would be able to attack Tubo.
Everyone had different reactions when they heard Li Shimin's words. Sam's face was not very good. Indeed, if there was a curse, how could she be taken away?
Li Shen, on the other hand, had a look of contempt on his face. Is it a sense of achievement for such a big emperor to brag in front of a little girl?
Seeing Li Shen's expression, Li Shimin knew what Li Shen was doing, and he looked a little embarrassed.
"Keep her here and serve her well. After all, she is also the princess of Tubo."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he walked into the front hall and took a seat. Concubine Wei Guifei and Li Shen also followed.
"Your Majesty, sit here," Li Shimin greeted.
Then he raised his head and asked Li Shen;
"You brought back a princess, what are your plans next?"
"Aye, I guess it won't be long before the Tibetan envoys come to ask for people. Let's just pretend not to know.
And Songtsen Gampo may invade the country with a large army. "
Li Shen analyzed that it was such a shame to lose the princess. Regardless of whether you can fight or not, you still have to show your attitude.
"Well, you are right, but next month we will conquer Goguryeo. If the Tibetan army presses the border and fights on both sides, it will be very detrimental to our Tang Dynasty.
I guess someone in the court will definitely suggest returning the Tibetan princess to Songtsen Gampo to eliminate the war between the two armies. "
Li Shimin knew this minister too well. He put interests first in everything, and the country was nothing.
"Aye, this time Songtsen Gampo may take the opportunity to eliminate internal conflicts. Now there is a food crisis in Tubo, and many Tubo tribes have begun to disobey Songtsen Gampo.
In this war between countries, he will not let go of this opportunity to pass on the conflict. "
Li Shimin also knows this truth, which is the transfer of conflicts.
"What ideas do you have?"
“The imperial court can find out which of their tribes is bigger, and the imperial court can secretly send them food and weapons so that they can deal with Songtsen Gampo.
Since he can pass on the contradiction, then we will let his internal contradictions expand. No one wants to be enslaved by others.
All leaders have the dream of becoming a king, they just need a chance.
As long as we say that we will cooperate with him and launch an attack on Songtsen Gampo, and let him annex a few small tribes, so that his self-confidence will increase, then..."
"When the time comes, he will proclaim himself king and fight against Songtsen Gampo, and we don't have to send troops. We can just let Songtsen Gampo fight him. Right?"
Li Shimin took Li Shen's words and said.
"Well, that's probably what it means, but it's best to support a few more big tribes and attack Songtsen Gampo from both sides, otherwise I'm afraid Yiliang will not be his match.
I heard from the guards that Songtsen Gampo had at least 15 soldiers and horses, and there were also many civilians. "
"Hmph, Li Shen, I suddenly realized why your ideas are so sinister. You always hide behind your back to cause trouble, causing others to suffer losses before you come out to take advantage. The same is true for Goguryeo, and the same is true for Tubo.
Don’t you have any strategy for a head-on confrontation? "
After Li Shimin said this, Li Shen thought about it carefully and realized that this was really the case. Is my heart so dark?
No, I am a good young man with enough education, five lectures, four beauties, and three loves. I was born in the new era, grew up under the red flag, and walked in the spring breeze. I have crossed the century.
You should be a good person.
"Aye, I am a good person. I am kind-hearted and filial. I have always followed the teachings of the Imperial College. I am willing to do good, build bridges and pave roads, and do good deeds. I am a role model for outstanding young people in the Tang Dynasty."
Zhongshu immediately sent it to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin quickly issued an order for Li Shen to send the person to the harem.
It was temporarily placed in Daji Hall, where Li Shen's mother, Concubine Wei, was, and additional personnel were assigned to guard it.
