In the early spring of the 14th year of Zhenguan, the atmosphere in Chang'an City was also somewhat subtle.
Earlier, the sage said that he would send troops to the Gaochang Kingdom, but the army did not move.
The Gaochang prince led dozens of followers and actually rode all the way to Chang'an City.
He said that the Gaochang Kingdom had been controlled by the Turks, and he was now I came here to ask for help, hoping that the Tang army could relieve the siege of Gaochang.
There were many offenses against Gaochang earlier, which was not their intention.
Wangtian Khan Haihan specially brought their Gaochang national treasure this time and dedicated it to Tianhan, hoping that Khan could forgive their sins.
Nowadays, most people in the public believe that Gao Changguo is innocent, but the ministers in the DPRK may not.
Besides, whether you are innocent or not is not the most important thing in the first place.
What is important is that since you, Gao Changguo, are not connected with the Turks, the Tang army will attack you.
In the future, if other small countries in the Western Regions want to abandon the Tang Dynasty and join the Turks, they must first think about the consequences and look at the lessons learned by the Gaochang people.
But now public opinion has formed among the people, especially Gaochang State is a Buddhist country, and Buddhism is also prosperous in Chang'an City.
Those Buddhists have stood up to speak for Gaochang State one by one.
If Gaochang is attacked again at this time, it will be a bit lost.
People's hearts.
Li Shimin was obviously not in a good mood these days.
Qu Zhisheng said he wanted to present a treasure to him, but he didn't show up and just left him there without paying any attention.
There are so many obstacles ahead for the Gaochang Kingdom.
Earlier, people from the Yanqi Kingdom came to Chang'an City to complain, saying that the Gaochang Kingdom blocked their envoys from entering the capital.
Li Shimin sent envoys to Gaochang at that time and gave 1, 2, 3, 4 to the king of Gaochang.
Wentai listed several demands, but Qu Wentai refused them all, so the Central Plains court said that they would send troops to defeat him.
Seeing that the army was about to go out, he came to offer some treasure.
This is a joke.
Hou Junji has also been very angry these days.
He was originally promised to go to Gaochang, but the army was about to go out, and something like this happened again.
Qu Wentai of Gaochang State actually wanted to ask for help from the Tang Dynasty and asked the Tang army to help them fight the Turks.
Originally, Hou Junji had a good idea.
He drove his army over and wiped out the Gaochang Kingdom in three blows.
Then he recorded it in the history books, wiping out a country and opening up the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
How big this must be.
A military achievement.
As for where the Gaochang Kingdom is, how big it is, and how many troops it has, who cares?
How many ordinary people can figure it out clearly?
What if we want him to attack the Turks now?
The Turks are a tough guy, let alone three attacks.
Even if Hou Junji spends his whole life, he will definitely not be able to destroy them.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City What was originally a good military job was about to turn into such a thankless job.
Then why would Hou Junji be willing to do it?
He had gone to the palace to meet Li Shimin several times in the past few days, and every time he said that Gaochang was going to fight.
Qu Wentai Qu outsmarts his father and his son.
Neither is a good bird.
Even if you help them now, they will have to come back and bite you again.
Among the ministers in the court, some said they would fight, some said they would not fight, some said they would fight Gaochang, and some said they wanted to fight the Turks.
The morning dynasties these days were noisy.
At this time, Tang Jian sent something to Chang'an City from the Hexi Corridor, and there was also an official document.
Such an object is a compass produced in Changle County.

It is a small disc that looks like a small box.
It is only the size of the palm of your hand.
It is made of wood and has a polished surface.
According to what the official document said, with a slight slide of your finger, the cover on the compass was slid open.
Originally, a point on the round cover was connected to the box below, and it could be opened and closed with just a push and slide of your finger. , which is somewhat exquisite.
Look inside the box again.
There must be a pointer in the middle.
This pointer has sharp points at both ends, pointing in two directions, with the words north and south engraved on them.
When the wooden disk is rotated, the pointer is wobbly and does not follow the wooden disk.
Rotate, but still point in the original direction On this day, the emperor had a discussion with several ministers.
After talking about the main topic, he had the compass taken out and looked at it carefully with the ministers.
"Could this thing be Si Nan?"
The ministers in the court were also very knowledgeable people of this era, and someone soon figured out the purpose of this thing.
"Tang Jian's letter stated that it can be mass-produced and the cost is low," the emperor said.
In fact, Tang Jian also included an instruction manual with this letter, explaining how to make this thing.
The emperor has now ordered it to be done, but it has not been completed yet, but this matter can be left to be discussed later.
"This Sinan is really light."
A minister was playing with this small wooden plate and couldn't put it down.
If you look closely, you will see that the disc is divided into upper and lower parts.
The sunken space below is dug out of a whole piece of wood.
This piece of wood is made of good materials and the workmanship is exquisite.
In order to distinguish the upper and lower parts, the lower part only has patterns around it.
The bottom is flat and has no sculptures.
The upper lid is curved, thick in the middle and thin around the edges.
There are also patterns on the lid.
It is such a small and exquisite object.
What, use your fingers to gently slide open the lid, and there is something else inside.
It’s really wonderful.
Such a lightweight object is low in cost and can point people in the right direction.
If it is really mass-produced, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this thing cannot be easily shown to others."
Someone immediately objected.
"This is a sharp weapon" "Sinan is a thing that has existed since ancient times.
It has been used by princes and ministers.
How can such a sharp weapon be allowed to flow into the people?"
"" After hearing this, the emperor didn't say anything, but took out Tang Jian's document and showed it to them.
What Tang Jian wrote in this document is a bit complicated to explain.
Mr.
Tang was also busy in the Hexi Corridor during this period.
He often traveled between Dunhuang City and Changle County.
He tried to talk with the Hu people and some local knowledgeable people, and also took many ready-made products from Luo Yong.
Finally, Organization becomes such a document.
This document is more of a paper than a document.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City The article touches on the countries in the Western Regions and their current situation, as well as all aspects of politics, economy and culture, and even draws a few simple diagrams.
However, the focus of this document is still on religion, mainly Buddhism and Islam.
Most of the countries in the Western Region believe in Buddhism.

The Buddhist country is thousands of miles away and has a strong Buddhist style.
Although there are many other religions among them, Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism in the Western Regions, and Buddhism in Tianzhu are connected together to form a large Buddhist circle.
This is an invisible religious and cultural defense circle that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
But extremely important.
In the far western regions, there is another Islam.
The Arabian Peninsula has been unified in recent years and is now expanding to surrounding areas.
Islam is a religion whose political power and doctrine are not clearly distinguished, and is very aggressive and exclusive. , now their country is in a stage of continuous expansion and growth, and they have to guard against it.
Finally, Tang Jian said that regardless of whether there was Islam or not, Tang, as a country where Buddhism flourished, should strive to occupy the religious high ground when Buddhism was flourishing everywhere, so that this religious force could become a powerful force.
Support the power of Tang Dynasty.
Looking at the current situation, there is the rising empire of Dashi in the west, and Tubo in the south.
Songtsan Gampo is still so young and has already achieved something.
There are Turks, Xueyantuo and Goguryeo in the north, and those are hard to chew.
In such a general situation, what does the small Gaochangguo matter?
Now is the time to win over Buddhist forces.
There is no need to create a gap between the Tang Dynasty regime and many Buddhists for the sake of the Gaochang Kingdom.
Such a world-wide paper immediately stunned some ministers.
I can't help but secretly sigh in my heart, Tang Jian's mind and vision are indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.
After Tang Jian said this, there was no need to fight Gaochang State.
It happened that Qu Zhisheng was now in Chang'an City, saying all day long that he would offer treasures to Tian Khan, otherwise "In my opinion, even if Gaochang State is defeated, it won't be of much significance."
A minister said at this time.
Going from the Hexi Corridor to Gaochang Kingdom, there is still a large wasteland across the country.
If the Tang Dynasty's national power was strong, Gaochang, a small country, would naturally not dare to make mistakes.
If the Tang Dynasty's national power was not strong, even if the Tang Dynasty's national power was not strong, even if a place like this was conquered, it would not be able to defend it.
However, even if you send civil servants and generals to that place, in the end these people are likely to occupy the right location and establish themselves as kings.
In a few years, there will be a new regime.
For such a country, it is worth spending so much food and military pay, and using the lives of so many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to fill the gap.
But even if Gaochang is not attacked, the Turks will definitely still fight.
Since Gaochang intends to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, let's accept it, and then join forces with Gaochang to fight the Turks.
After much deliberation, this approach is most beneficial to the country.
After the ministers dispersed, Li Shimin was not in a hurry to leave.
Instead, he still sat where he was, holding up Tang Jian's document and looking at it carefully.
Tang Jian is indeed talented.
Looking at the court, I am afraid that no one else can write such a document.
Although there are many talents, they all have their own strengths.
Some are good at fighting, and some are good at governing the country.
To be honest, there are indeed very few people who can truly look at the world.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who later became famous throughout the ages, no longer cared much about the affairs of Gaochang Kingdom.
The world was so big that he could do too many things, so why bother trying to fight against the small Gaochang Kingdom?
The stubborn fight not only shows that he is not kind enough, but also shows that he is not generous enough.
Since Gaochang wants to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, let's just accept it.
Instead, we can take this opportunity to give the Turks a good fight.
This will not only destroy the power of the Turks, but also let the small countries in the Western Regions see the power of the Tang Dynasty.
