The palace door was pushed open, and the guards outside the door trotted in, "Your Majesty, a great victory, eight hundred miles of urgent letters, a great victory in the southwest, and the destruction of Tibet!"
”Tibetan?
Extinguished?
Some of the ministers below are not enough brains, this has not yet entered the summer, there is no movement at all, why is there news of the destruction of the country?
And the emperor has already strode to the palace gate, eight hundred miles to rush to deliver good news, the messenger all the way from Tubo to Shuzhong, it can be said that he fought hard to rush to Chang'an, when Li Er saw the other party, it was the four guards at the gate of the palace who carried it in.The messenger's lips were chapped, his face was almost bloodless, and his face was covered with dust, but his eyes were extremely attentive, and he was carried to see the emperor, and he mustered up the last strength of his body, and the messenger shouted in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, General Hou led the army to drive straight in, like a bamboo, to wipe out Tibet, and Tubo Songtsen Gampo killed himself at the head of the city." ”After speaking, he wanted to put his right hand into his arms and take out Bao Jiegong, but he had no strength, his head was crooked, and he passed out, Li Er personally stepped forward and squatted down to sniff, "It's okay, there is still breath, quickly, send it to the hospital for first aid, reward 100,000 yuan, and a car of silk!"
”After taking the messenger in his arms, he let people carry him away and send him to the hospital, Li Er opened it and saw that it was Hou Junji's handwriting, and after reading the whole article, there was a heroic spirit that arose spontaneously from his chest, destroying the country?
Since Zhenguan wiped out the Eastern Turks in four years, the Tang Dynasty destroyed another country in just one year, and it is also known as the southwest overlord of Tubo, who else is the opponent of the Tang Dynasty in this world?"
Order, the small court meeting of the political palace, and in addition, summon Ma Du Shaoqing to the palace to participate as an observer."
What is the Pilgrimage Conference about?
Hou Junji, as the secretary of the military department, is now the commander of the Tang Dynasty military department, and he has won a big country alone, how much merit is there?
So be sure to discuss the issue of bounties.In addition, Hou Junji's army is already on the way back, and Tubo will definitely send people to govern it, whether to establish a state road, or to follow the example of the Western Regions to establish a capital protectorate, these must be discussed and implemented immediately.What is Du Shaoqing doing?
When many people in the council hall were discussing whether to buy antiques, he was already spending money to buy them, as long as it was an antique, even if it was a pre-Qin clay pot or bamboo piece, the Du family would accept it, and even the fragments would be purchased at a low price.It is estimated that when the people of the imperial court discuss the reason, the antiques dug up in Chang'an City should all be in Du Shaoqing's hands, others don't know the value of these things, Du Shaoqing is very clear, there is a way to be the gold of the prosperous era of antiques and troubled times, and the Tang Dynasty will soon usher in the prosperity of at least a hundred years, these things of the ancients, with a little publicity, are worth a fortune.Even if it is not sold as antiques, many things have immeasurable research value alone, such as the bronze tripod engraved with ancient times, such as many black technologies made by Zhang Heng in the Han Dynasty, in the eyes of the Tang people, it is a strange skill, but here in Du Shaoqing, it is a priceless treasure.Du Shaoqing, who was ranked last according to the seat, really had no intention of participating in these political discussions, but when he heard the plans they said, Du Shaoqing couldn't help but refute them, and he almost turned his eyes on these people angrily.Although Tibet is a bitter cold land on the plateau, it is very rich in natural resources, and these people even vigorously support the establishment of the capital protectorate, the implementation of regional autonomy, and the way of supervision by the Tang Dynasty.Therefore, Du Shaoqing got up angrily and said loudly: "If you want to achieve long-term peace and stability in the southwest, the only way to implement state road control is to be included in the territory of Datang, and it can be governed like the other ten roads in Datang."
If not, like the way of the capital protectorate, when the country is strong, the local people bow their heads, once the country is unstable, then the capital protectorate is useless, it seems to be the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact it is useless, and at that time the soldiers who sacrificed in the previous generation were not sacrificed in vain?
”"Your Majesty is wise, our national strength will only get stronger and stronger, how can there be a time when the national strength is weak?
Don't be alarmist and curse the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty. ”An old minister interrupted."
Who can guarantee that one country will last for thousands of years?
If these false flatteries are useful, then the Great Qin of the First Emperor a thousand years ago will not die second, and it is better to be pragmatic when discussing the government and national policies, so as not to leave a disaster to future generations. ”Du Shaoqing replied disdainfully, he didn't have the heart to be polite to this person, and he didn't even know this person.Your Majesty?
Emperor Li Erxin said that this son-in-law is also yes, although the words are reasonable, there is no need to be so blunt, coughed lightly and said: "Okay, what Shaoqing said is reasonable, it is better for Zhuqing to talk about things and rejuvenate the country with practical policies, so there is no need to talk about lies."
What I mean, the southwest has set up a state highway and governed it as one, but in terms of this candidate, who should be sent?
”Wang Si, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, opened his mouth and asked Du Shaoqing: "What the horse said about long-term peace and stability is very reasonable, but Tubo is bitter and cold, and we may not get any benefits after eating it. ”"How so?
As far as I know, there are no less than dozens of rare medicinal materials there, all of which we do not have in the Central Plains, and they can develop animal husbandry" Du Shaoqing has not finished speaking, and the old minister who had just been scolded said: "Since Du Juma is so familiar with the situation in Tibet, it is better for him to deal with it, and no one else knows about Tibet, I'm afraid no one will be able to take over this task." ”Well?
Du Shaoqing's words froze, glared at the old man angrily, and scolded in his heart, who are you?
Who knew that at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji actually came out to make up for the knife: "Du Juma, I don't know if you are willing to shoulder the heavy responsibility of governing Tubo for the Tang Dynasty?"
Listening to what you said and know the local customs so well, I'm afraid there is no more suitable candidate for the military officials than you. ”"Don't go!"
Du Shaoqing stood up and directly turned his face to the eldest grandson Wuji.Well?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the attitude towards the young colt was mixed, some people were jokingly waiting to see a good show, and some people were indignant on their faces, thinking that Du Shaoqing was afraid of the heavy and unwilling to worry about the country, and some people were worried about him, after all, this was a small court, and it should not be presumptuous.Why is that?
Everyone says that the horse is loyal and patriotic, but is it not unwilling to contribute to the country?
”The eldest grandson Wuji asked pretending to be puzzled.Du Shaoqing snorted coldly and didn't look at him, turned his head to look at his cheap father-in-law, and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can send a shrewd and capable prince to go, one can effectively govern the local area, and the other is to train talents. ”This Li Er's eyes lit up, yes, why didn't I think of it?
Just now I only paid attention to the rivalry between my son-in-law and my eldest brother, and forgot to think about countermeasures, Du Shaoqing dared to directly contradict these ministers, and he was also unwilling to bend down to the so-called political rules of the DPRK and China."
Well, then who is suitable among the princes of the right age?
Ke'er in Shudi?
Or is it Tai'er who is repairing books?
”Li Er opened his mouth and asked, there are only a few people who are of the right age to be released to govern a place.At this time, the crown prince Li Chengqian, who had been standing aside, suddenly stood up and asked the emperor for his life: "Father, the child is willing to go west to govern Tibet." ”
