Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

"If this is not the case, your sister-in-law is bored on weekdays, and you simply live in my house for two or three days. On the one hand, let Hongyu accompany your two sister-in-laws to relieve boredom, and on the other hand, we brothers will sort out these things. One stroke!"

Zhang Nuo thought about it for a while, then nodded. It seems that there are some things to deal with in Chang'an City. Usually, he squats outside the city like a town house beast and does not come in. In fact, there are many things that have not been arranged in the workshop. Take this opportunity to solve it together.

Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang were overjoyed when they heard the news. They kept thinking about how to keep the man behind, but Li Shimin did so before they spoke. Why didn't this make them happy.

As a result, even though he took a few mouthfuls of rice, he quickly got up and arranged for someone to tidy up the room.

After the meal, the three old men were chatting and farting together. After all, it is not convenient to go out in this winter. Without other entertainment methods, there are only a few things that can kill time.

Li Yuan, Li Shimin and his son hadn't seen each other for a while, and now Zhang Nuo was present, and the three of them came and went, and they were really happy chatting.

However, when Li Shimin was chatting, he found that someone was sticking his head outside, and immediately knew that something was up, but it was inconvenient to say it in front of Zhang Nuo.

Li Shimin immediately winked at Li Yuan, and after receiving a slight nod from Li Yuan, Li Shimin said with a smile,

"Brother, you chat with my father first, I'll go out and deal with some things!"

Zhang Nuo had nothing to do, he didn't think that he would just accompany him like this if he didn't do anything, besides, he was a man who was not a three-year-old child, so he really needed a group of people to accompany him.

As soon as Li Shimin walked outside the door, the servant hurried forward and whispered,

"Patriarch, Mr. Changsun has something urgent to discuss!"

Chapter 229 What Does Tubo Want?

Li Shimin heard that it was Zhangsun Wuji who came to the door, and immediately knew that there must be something urgent.

The news that he lived outside did not dare to spread the news randomly. One was that this matter was not very compliant after all, and it would damage the reputation of the royal family, and the other was for the sake of safety.

You know, to attack the imperial city, you have to face the palace walls and the forbidden army, but if someone wants to attack him at this time, even if there are hundreds of people around him, there is really no way to fight against the palace. Compare.

Therefore, except for the closest important ministers such as Changsun Wuji, the others did not know the news of the emperor leaving the palace at all.

And the few courtiers also knew the importance. Although they couldn't persuade the wayward emperor, they at least knew what to say and what not to say.

Changsun Wuji was able to come to the door at this time, it seemed that something was really urgent!

Li Shimin walked directly to the front yard, and saw the eldest grandson Wuji who had consciously changed into casual clothes in a wing room.

Seeing Li Shimin coming in, Changsun Wuji hurriedly stood up to greet him. Li Shimin waved his hands with a serious face and asked in a deep voice,

"Auxiliary machine, is there something urgent?"

Changsun Wuji took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Li Shimin.

"Urgent report at the border. Just after the new year in Tubo, Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan led a team. A total of 3000 people came to Chang'an with gifts. It was difficult to intercept at the border, so we had to send troops to escort them all the way and report urgently!"

Li Shimin frowned while reading the memorial and asked,

"Is Tubo going to pay homage? 3000 people came with gifts. Is this not a small conspiracy? Is there any war around?"

Li Shimin immediately thought that Tubo might come here to ask for help. After all, he said that he was offering pilgrimage, but in fact, people have a good face, and who would like to have an extra suzerain country on top of their heads.

If it weren't for what they wanted, Tubo had a good geographical position and its national strength was not weak, so it would be impossible to ask for Tang!

Changsun Wuji was clearly prepared, so he replied without thinking,

"Before I came here, I read the information on the surrounding area. I have never heard any news that there will be a war in the vicinity of Tubo. However, the new Zanpu in Tubo just took over last year. I don't know if the new king is showing favor to the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin was relieved to hear that there was no war started. He was worried that the surrounding area would bring the flames of war to Datang. In recent years, in addition to the Turks, which must be fought in the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo also planned to beat them up. up.

After all, if the new Tang Dynasty is too fierce, not only will the national strength and military strength be strained, but the surrounding countries will also be nervous.

After thinking about it carefully, Li Shimin shook his head,

"There has always been a gap between Tubo and my Tang Dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to say that the sword is on the verge of breaking out. If Tubo didn't take advantage of its geographical advantage, I am afraid I will have to fight in a few years!"

"Thinking about the situation in Tubo, it is clear. Then Tubo came here with great fanfare, under the banner of submitting the covenant and worshiping. It is definitely a big picture. It's just that we didn't understand the articles in it!"

Changsun Wuji also nodded, he hurried over just thinking of these things, the current Tang Dynasty's national strength is increasing year by year, and its military strength is slowly increasing, as long as it takes a while, it can be said that all the surrounding countries will be absolutely one-on-one. Don't be afraid.

But if it's a one-on-two, I'm afraid it will be a priority, and it can only be a stalemate for the time being. If it accidentally becomes a one-on-three, especially if there are big countries like Turks and Tubo in the middle, even if it is the final victory, I'm afraid it will be just It may take several years to slowly recover from the tragic victory with the power of the whole country.

However, in the memorial just now, the credentials of Tubo have already been handed in first, and people come to worship the kingdom of heaven, and this person who stretches out his hand is not smiling. It is impossible for people to come and worship, which makes other small countries how to think?

The two monarchs and ministers pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. After all, the Tang Dynasty at this time was far inferior to the prosperous Tang Dynasty when Wanbang came to court. The Tang Dynasty hoped that the surrounding countries would come to worship, but at the same time worried that he would not be able to suppress it. .

Therefore, under the consideration of gains and losses, Datang's overall diplomatic strategy at this time is a bit vague, and it seems to be okay if it is even described as unstructured.

In fact, after thinking about it, I understand that the coming of all nations to the DPRK, which will come in a few years, is actually not a diplomatic victory. More precisely, it should be Datang’s invincible national power and military power that made the surrounding countries afraid, but at the same time, Datang’s tolerance The attitude makes neighboring countries feel that they can talk about it.

So after having one or two crab-eaters, everyone flocked together. Who wouldn't want to have a good relationship with Datang, not only won't be beaten, but also can earn a fortune.

But at this time, Datang is still only a little famous, far from the great reputation later, so it is no wonder that the two monarchs and ministers have a headache.

For a big force like Tubo, every move has a deep meaning, and it is absolutely impossible to do something on a whim, especially on major events between countries.

Therefore, this forced Datang to guess the opponent's cards as much as possible before the negotiation, so as to be prepared and finally gain an advantage in the negotiation.

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji sat in this small wing room for half an hour, but they still couldn't come up with a specific and effective countermeasure, which made Li Shimin a little annoyed.

Just when he stood up a little impatiently and planned to take a few steps to get some air, he suddenly saw Zhang Nuo who was accompanying Li Yuan to the backyard to continue their mahjong journey. He greeted Changsun Wuji, and hurriedly shouted,

"Brother, Dad, wait!"

After finishing speaking, he directly pulled up Changsun Wuji and walked over there!

Li Yuan and Zhang Nuo chatted there for a long time before, the old and the young were very happy, seeing that the digestion was almost done, Li Yuan offered to continue playing mahjong, and clamored for Zhang Nuo to replace Hongyu on the stage, and everyone had a battle .
