Chapter 527: The Secret Battle in Chang'an

"The Tang Dynasty is rich in all over the world and is famous. All nations come to pay tribute to the court. Today, the Emperor Zhenguan is even respected as the Heavenly Khan. Now even a great country like Tubo is coming to pay tribute to the emperor. This is what the Emperor is like!" In the wine shop, an old man mocked the white beard under his chin and said proudly: "Thinking about the time when the former Sui Yang Guang period was said that even all nations came to pay tribute, it was considered that all nations came to pay tribute. The officials of the court were in the East and West Market in the former Sui Dynasty.

Zhong forced the foreign merchants to pretend to be envoys. Thinking that those foreigners had blue eyes and yellow hair, like evil spirits, all of them were the same. Yang Guang could not tell the difference clearly. On the platform, they looked the same, and he was proud to think that he was coming to pay tribute to the throne and dreaming of the heavenly kingdom! Where is the power of our Tang Dynasty? So many countries in the Western Regions are coming to pay homage to the emperor this time, how majestic it is!”

"That's right, Xiaozi also heard that the Tubo king called Songtsen Gampo this time, and sent a huge delegation to come to propose marriage with countless rare treasures. He wanted to ask His Majesty to give him a marriage and give Songtsen Gampo as his wife!" A young man said mysteriously on the side: "From then on, the Tubo country was used as a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, and he would always come to pay homage to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty with the ritual of the son-in-law or the ritual of his nephew! This kind of glory is not simple! Who has such blessings in all dynasties?"

"Yes! The saying of marriage has existed since ancient times. There were also marriages during the Han Dynasty. It was just to give the NV sons from the Central Plains to the Huns to build the Khans of the Huns. It was a shame and a shame for us Central Plains. However, after Emperor Wu of Han, there were marriages, but those Huns were afraid of the Han people, so they begged the Emperor of the Central Plains to give marriage. That was the glory of the Central Plains! Zhaojun entered the border and became a legend for the ages." A down-and-out scholar next to him shook his head and said.

"So, according to the Langjun, if the court had married each other this time, it would have become a story for the ages?" an old man asked curiously.

"That's natural." The depressed and outgoing scholar lit up his eyes and said, "My Tang Dynasty's national strength has made Tubo scared, fearing that my Tang Dynasty will attack him, so he came to propose marriage and treat the emperor as half a son. Isn't this the victory of my Tang Dynasty? Isn't this the great reputation of my Tang Emperor? Even as the people of the Tang Dynasty, I am extremely happy in my heart!"

"Pediatric!" At this moment, a cold voice came, and a young scholar looked at everyone coldly, his eyes full of disdain. Beside him, there were two handsome and indifferent book children staring at everyone righteously, as if they were suffering great grievances.

"You little gentleman, do you know what pedanticism is?" The young scholar changed his face and sneered: "Do you know, this time the marriage is a foregone conclusion. Even Your Majesty will nodify."

"How could you, a xiaoxiao, betrayal scholar, know?" the young scholar sneered.

"Hmph, you don't understand this! You can look at Tang Feng if you have nothing to do!" The down-and-out scholar took out a dirty newspaper from his arms and said, "I saw it! The opinions of the King of Wei are on it, that is a true insight! The officials of the entire Chang'an City praised His Highness the King of Wei for his compassion for his country and his legacy."

"King of Wei? A King of Wei who only knows how to study, a King of Wei who seeks fame?" The young scholar obviously did not take the King of Wei in his eyes and sneered: "Now the court is not his leader, and he does not feel hurt when he stands and speaks. If he really wants to deal with this matter, look at the fat man. It's just that he is just relying on the rules of Your Majesty to Tang Feng, the speaker is not guilty. Just talk in front of you." When everyone heard this, they changed their faces and looked at the young man in front of him with surprised eyes. It's nothing that he could say so bluntly, but he called the other party to seek fame and reputation, and the generous person would not care about him. However, if he called the King of Wei a fat man, it would be suspected of insulting Lu Chengtai. Yes, the King of Wei is relatively fat, but can anyone say the saying of the fat man?

"You, you are slandering the King of Wei." The down-and-out scholar stood up as if he had suffered a great injustice, pointed at the young man and said, "What, is the King of Wei saying unreasonable? What do you know, a plain person? Do you also know the major military and national affairs? Although the Tang Dynasty is now in great force, there are sounds of victory everywhere, but do you know what is behind the victory? It is countless soldiers dying, countless families are breaking, countless food and grass are being consumed, and countless money and food are being spent. Do you know what the result will be if the court does not agree to the marriage? Tubo will send troops, hundreds of thousands of troops from Dafeichuan, west to Shanzhou, south to reach the south to the army.

Minzhou, Yizhou and others will face the attack of the Tubo army, and there will be the five southwest troops that followed, each with tens of thousands to tens of thousands of troops. These people united to shake Bashu. If they are not married, what will follow will be a war. How many troops can the court resist? The jingrui army is all in Goguryeo, and even some jingrui are all in Jiangnan. How can the 100,000 troops of the General of the Cavalry be the opponent of the Tubo people? Listen to the book, the Tubo life is extremely powerful, and one can be used as ten. Unless our Tang army is the jingrui among the jingrui, it is not the opponent of the Tubo army at all."

"It's really like this?" The young scholar's face was pale and his eyes were dull.

"Your Highness the King of Wei will not be wrong." A trace of respect appeared on the face of the down-and-out scholar and bowed and said, "On the one hand, the idea of ​​Your Highness the King of Wei can exaggerate the majesty of our Tang Dynasty, and the ruler can be distributed in all directions. Without using swords and weapons, it can solve the Tubo incident and win several years for the Tang Dynasty. Secondly, the people will not suffer from swords and weapons, and the soldiers will no longer have to fight bloodily. Only Your Highness the King of Wei can think of such a good thing."

"Fart." As soon as the down-and-out scholar finished speaking, a thick man smashed the wine bowl in his hand to the ground and smashed it to pieces. The man's face was flushed. I don't know whether it was because of drinking or because he was angry by the scholar's words. He stood up and pointed at the down-and-out scholar and cursed: "Your Highness of Wei was reading in vain. His head was kicked by a donkey. He actually came up with such an idea. Could it be that my Tang Dynasty's dignity needs the nv people's xiongjia? As a man, if you can't protect your nv people, why do you have that thing below? It's better to kill me. When today, my son is wise and powerful, and the soldiers serve me, I have countless famous officials in the Tang Dynasty.

There are countless famous generals, how could you be afraid of a Tubo who needs to exchange for peace with the NV people of the Tang Dynasty? Not to mention that your Majesty would not agree, even those who are a little bit of blood cannot bear it. Hum, that is, you, a down-and-out person, barking all day long, and writing some sour poems all day long, and you are sick, huh, looking at your down-and-out appearance, probably a down-and-out scholar who has not passed the imperial examination! Even if you are like this, I am afraid you can't even get a sword, how can you pass the imperial examination level? Hum, if I were me, I would have gone home as soon as possible to marry a daughter-in-law and still be able to pass the Jinshi. Anyway, you have no life."

"You, you." The depressed and outgoing scholar turned red when he heard this. He pointed at the strong man but couldn't speak. He seemed extremely angry, but he couldn't find any words to refute.

"Ignorous man, a vulgar man, I don't want to care about you." After a while, the down-and-out scholar calmed down and snorted coldly: "Hmph, don't think this battle can be fought as long as you want. Do you know how much money there is in the treasury? Do you know how much food and grass there are in Taicang? Do you know how long it will take to attack Tubo? Do you have to dispatch many troops? You don't know these, so you are just an ignorant man, and how can you know the major affairs of the court? Your Highness Gao Zhanyuan of Wei

Only by watching can we come up with this best of both worlds and win time for our Tang Dynasty. How can you, a reckless man, know that such wisdom is. Do you understand the truth that the army is dispatched and food and grass are the first? Nowadays, the food and grass of the Tang Dynasty are all supplied to the army under the command of the general of Goguryeo in Northeast China, the army of King Liang of Jiangnan and Duke Cheng of Gong, and part of it is the army supporting the General of the Cavalry. Where can you mobilize the army to launch an attack on Tubo? You are really ignorant, how can you tell clearly about people like you?"

"Hmph, I don't understand these great principles, but if the court needs them, I will give them to the court for about 100 kilograms. Over the years, Your Majesty has been kind and good weather, and everyone is rich. We all united to donate some wealth and other things, which is enough to support a war." The strong man said disdainfully: "Although Tubo is strong, don't forget. My Tang Dynasty is vast and rich, with a large population, and even if one person replaces him with ten people, we will not suffer any losses. As long as we are united, are we still afraid that Tubo will not succeed? Humph, although the words of the King of Wei make some sense, they are just the opinion of scholars and cannot be used as governing the country. Humph, according to me, this King of Wei is okay to study, but if he governs the country, the King of Wei may be much short of it."

"The King of Wei cannot do it, can you do it?" The down-and-out scholar sneered, with a sarcastic look on his face.

"I can't read a big word, and even write my own name, so of course it doesn't work. However, if I don't work, it doesn't mean that others can't work." The strong man glanced at the other party indifferently and sneered: "I can't, but the King of Wei can't work either. Your Highness can do it. Didn't you see it? During the imperial envoy, Your Highness was the king of the state, but the country was governed very well. He quelled Li Junxian's rebellion without any effort. He also took charge of Chang'an to quell the rebellion of the rebel Li Yuanjia, recaptured Hanzhong, and sent King Liang to attack Jiangnan, and won many battles. Can you tell me these be comparable to the King of Wei? But Your Highness can do it."

"Hmph, Your Highness, King Wei is just a prince, not a prince. How could he know if he hadn't tried it?" The scholar's face turned red and he said dissatisfied. However, there was some shortcomings in his tone. Everyone around him burst into laughter when they saw this. However, some people heard a little sign and all lowered their heads and did not speak. Even the young scholar just now had a strange look in his eyes, and glanced at the strong man and the scholar. He took care of the two book children beside him and left the restaurant. But he did not leave, but went to a restaurant opposite and stared at the restaurant just now.

"Young Master, see, it's out." At this moment, a book boy pointed to the restaurant just now in surprise, and saw that the first one was the down-and-out scholar. The scholar glanced at the surroundings, as if he was looking at whether there were people around him, and soon disappeared into the crowd. However, the young master still clearly saw that there were two scholars in the crowd.

After waiting for a while, the strong man came out and made the same move. After scanning the mouth of the restaurant, he seemed to have found nothing abnormal and failed to enter the crowd. The young scholar also found that there were two or three strong men in the crowd, and several people disappeared into the crowd together.

"Xiao Xing, let's go!" Seeing this, the young scholar looked a little thoughtful and thoughtful. After a while, he shook his head and said, "It's all a family. What are you fighting for for a seat? It's just angering my father."

"Young Master, what's wrong with you?" The shinv next to him obviously felt that his master was in a bad mood, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he quickly comforted him quietly.

"Nothing? Let's go!" the young scholar shook his head and said, "Let's go back! I heard that the father is about to return to the court. Humph, when the father comes back, see how these people end. There is also that fat man who has no ability and dares to play chess. Someone will deal with him after he turns around."

There are all kinds of things happening in the places where Chang'an City is located, in every corner, in almost every corner, in every wine shop. Just like today, things like this may happen every day, or they happen, they will appear as jokes, and then disappear as jokes in the huge Chang'an City. It will soon be forgotten, because Chang'an City is too big, and the big ones are gone. In such a big city, jokes will appear at all times, so how can they attract others' attention?

In the residence of the Xuande Hall’s auxiliary minister and the Minister of Personnel Changsun Wuji, Changsun Wuji frowned and looked at the Qingyue outside. Changsun rushed in with great care.

"How is the situation outside? Is the King of Wei still making trouble?" Changsun Wuji sneered at the corner of his mouth.

"The scholars are still watching the King of Wei, but strangely, there are some people who are fighting against the King of Wei. And it is strange that these people seem not scholars, but their own tiger-backs and bear-waisted waists, very vulgar, as if they were people in the army." Changsun Chong shook his head, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"It seems that if we don't take action, there will naturally be someone to take action." Changsun Wuji's face was filled with a desolate and outrageous look. He sighed deeply. Others don't know who took action, but he himself knew who took action. If there were people in the army as assistants, who would have gotten rid of him? If it were in the past, Changsun Wuji would probably be very happy because the object he assisted had really grown up and started to use strategies. But at this moment, he seemed to have something missing in his heart. Yes, something missing.

"Who is my father talking about? He can actually mobilize the army?" Changsun Chong asked in surprise. Although he had a famous father like Changsun Wuji, he did not inherit Changsun Wuji's wisdom.

"Have Your Highness the Crown Prince summoned you these days?" Changsun Wuji asked with a frown.

"No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been ill these days and has not summoned anyone. But Qin Huaiyu has been there once a few days ago." Changsun Chong shook his head and said, "I have not seen anyone else at other times."

"Where is Cen Wenben and the others?" Changsun Wuji asked impatiently again.

"I haven't seen it before." Changsun Chong shook his head.

"It is invisible and does not make people notice it, but it has played a huge role. It is really a material that is born to be a king!" Changsun Wuji sighed deeply when he heard this and said, "Everyone says that a father must be like a son. I am afraid that when I see you today, I am better than a blue one."

"Father, what are you talking about?" Changsun Chong looked at his father in surprise.

"It's nothing." Changsun Wuji sighed deeply and looked at his son, but still shook his head. His son has some ability, but his vision is not good.

"There is nothing to do in the future and go to the East Palace for a long time. Don't put on the airs of your cousin in front of the prince. Remember, he is the prince, and you are a minister. In the future, he is the emperor, and you are still just a minister." Changsun Wuji snorted coldly: "With the moment he can still remember some of our affection, and be happy with the prince, don't neglect. Be more respectful, just like treating Your Majesty for your father."

"Yes, my child knows." Although Changsun Chong didn't understand why Changsun Wuji did this, since Changsun Wuji asked him to do this, there must be his reason. It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, just do as he does. If he doesn't even have the ability to do as he does, then he is not a disciple of the Changsun family.

"Ignorance Xiaoer, I have read too much. I think it's self-righteous Zhuge Liang. I can come up with the best of both worlds to attract the attention of the emperor, but I don't know what my own thoughts are. In the emperor's heart, what is the difference between a real princess and a fake princess? They are all nv sons of the Tang Dynasty, how could they marry a foreign country?" Changsun Wuji's eyes flashed with a cold look.

"Your Majesty's decision to kill and attack, he was the one who defeated the Tang Empire alone. If your subordinates are not good, Your Majesty will really do what the King of Wei wants. It's a pity that the Tang Dynasty at this time was comparable to that of Liu Bang, the Emperor of Han, at that time. Lu Chengtai, Lu Chengtai, you chose the wrong opportunity! You are really smart but are mistaken for your intelligence."
