Xuan Shijing felt that Emperor Xiaode of Japan was a sensible person, but the Tang Dynasty did not want Xiaode to be a sensible person. The Tang Dynasty was the sect leader of the country. Although the father was obliged to teach his son to be smart, the son was not his biological son, and he was brought back halfway. Moreover, if they respected Datang from the bottom of their hearts, it might be that the Tang Dynasty was better than the Japanese country, and that was the father. But if the father was old, the Japanese country would dare to turn against him immediately.

"Your Highness is worried that Japan has any thoughts about Liaodong?" Xuan Shijing said: "Your Highness thinks, do they dare?"

The Tang Dynasty pacified Liaodong and destroyed Goguryeo and Baekje. It only took a few years to do so. The remaining power was still there. Unless Japan and Silla were really not afraid of death and wanted to plunder the beards of the Tang Dynasty, they would have to stay honestly on their own territory and remain motionless.

If you dare to move, the Tang Dynasty dares to fight.

"If it were just these two places in the east, it would be easy." Li Chengqian sighed.

"What? Something went wrong again?" Xuan Shijing said: "Are you not planning to live a good life these days?"

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Who knows, you are not afraid of defeating it. What you are afraid of is that the Tang Dynasty is attacked from both sides and divided the troops from both sides."

"How do you say this?" Xuan Shijing frowned.

"In the west, Tubo." Li Chengqian said: "Songzan Gampo is seriously ill. According to reports, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive this year. Wencheng and Songzan Gampo have no descendants. If Songzan Gampo dies, the connection between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty will be sparse, so we have to take care of Tubo, for Tubo, we have to take some attention to guard against it."

After hearing what Li Chengqian said, Xuan Shijing could understand this. Originally, the Tang Dynasty had a good relationship with Tubo, but in addition to the strong Tang Dynasty, it was more because Princess Wencheng entered Tibet. In the past, the two countries had never had a good marriage, and the border was always frictionless. The Tubo people could not fight in, and the Tang Dynasty could not fight on the plateau. They just went back and forth on the border, causing each other to suffer losses. After the two countries got married, they ushered in a peaceful day on the border.

But if Songtsen Gampo dies, there will be no descendants between him and Princess Wencheng. Those who inherit Zampo's position are most likely the son of Songtsen Gampo's concubine, that is, the son of Concubine Meng.

Songzan Gampo, Princess Wencheng and Princess Chizun had no descendants. She gave birth to a son with Concubine Meng, who was for Gongsong Gongzan and had an eldest son named Gongri Gongzan. However, Gongri Gongzan died early, but Gongri Gongzan had a son, Mang Song Mangzan. This son was still young, but he was born in the legitimate state.

Xuan Shijing felt that for this Zanpu position, there would inevitably be a battle between the concubine's son and the eldest grandson. From the perspective of the Tang Dynasty, no matter who inherited Zanpu's position, it would be of much benefit to the Tang Dynasty.

The concubine's son was older, but he had no contact or relationship with the Tang Dynasty. After inheriting Zanpu's position, he was bound to have another friction with the Tang Dynasty's border under the influence of the Tubo nobles.

As for the young eldest grandson, it is easy to control. After the eldest grandson succeeds to the throne, Princess Wencheng can support her behind her back. It will be better if Princess Wencheng has the influence of Princess Wencheng, but the eldest grandson succeeds to the throne and is the minister who assists in the administration. There must be a great speech on Lu Dongzan.

Xuan Shijing had seen this person. When he went to the Tang Dynasty for Songzan Gampo to propose marriage, Lu Dongzan did not stump him. It can be seen that this person has great talent. If it were not for this, he would not have helped Lu Dongzan to quell the rebellion and seize the throne, and then he would have been the most powerful minister.

"This matter is just a news from the secret spies, and it has not been announced in the court yet. After all, Songtsen Gampo is not dead yet, and Tubo is not in trouble." Li Chengqian said: "Father asked me to give you a message, want to hear how you think about it. In addition to you, the father also summoned a few confidant ministers such as his uncle, and they also knew about it."

His Majesty Li Er is indeed cautious in this matter. Although the Tang Dynasty is not afraid of war now, the Tang Dynasty has finally taken a step further and ushered in a breakthrough in development. At this time, it is not suitable for war. Even if it can be won, the losses are far more than the little things on the battlefield.

His Majesty Li Er is unwilling to interrupt the current internal development of the Tang Dynasty, so Xuan Shijing felt that His Majesty Li Er wanted to make stability.

I don’t want to leave quickly and quickly, but I want to leave realistically and steadily.

More or less, Xuan Shijing could still guess what His Majesty Li Er thought, otherwise His Majesty Li Er would not have so secretly discussed this matter, so in order to come up with the safest way.

It seems that in this case, Japan's filial piety cannot die for the time being.

Xiaode is alive, and Japan will definitely not have conflicts with the Tang Dynasty, because he knows in his heart what kind of existence the Tang Dynasty is. If Japan does not move, then Silla will be able to stand ease and dare not move.

What does Silla want to do? It’s just that he is drooling at the land and cities of Goguryeo and Baekje won by the Tang Dynasty on the Sanhan Peninsula. Without Baekje’s trouble, he also wants to expand after a few years of stable life.

Speaking of which, the Tang Dynasty was too gentle to these surrounding countries. Although it was to win people over virtue and respect people, it was really easy to talk to. Once a conflict occurred, the people would get benefits, and then send an envoy to Chang'an to bring some gifts, and the matter would be resolved.

In the end, the Tang Dynasty was not worth the money.

"It seems that Your Majesty doesn't want the Tang Dynasty to launch a war, at least it's not the time yet," said Xuan Shijing.

Li Chengqian nodded: "This is true. I guess not to mention my father, no one in the court, except for some generals in the army, is willing to fight."

If you are unwilling to fight, you have to be divided into situations. One is that you cannot win, and the other is that the civil officials do not want the generals to run to the battlefield. Once you go to the battlefield, with the current military situation in the Tang Dynasty, winning a war is not difficult. Once you win, you will have to be awarded a marquis. Some people are envious and some are jealous. In general, it is that civil and military officials are not dealing with it.

There are 100% of the court, the emperor accounts for 50%, and the remaining civil and military officials are divided into another 50%. If there are more people on this side, there will naturally be fewer on the other side. This is the reason.

Some court officials may not want to fight because of this, but His Majesty Li Er's thinking was multifaceted and was really considering the development of the Tang Dynasty. After all, it was a family. To put it nicely, the Tang Dynasty was the Tang Dynasty for the people, but Li Tang was not the Li Tang Dynasty and the Li Tang Dynasty. The people of the Li family were in the world?

"If Japan really wants to join forces with Silla to seize the land of Xiongjin, this battle will probably not be able to fight." Li Chengqian said: "We can't help it."

Xuan Shijing smiled and shook his head: "That's not necessarily."
