Chapter 473: Grandparents and grandchildren are in vain

Zichen Hall is the third hall of the Daming Palace, the main hall of the inner yamen of the Daming Palace, and the third largest building complex in the Daming Palace after the Hanyuan Hall and Xuanzheng Hall, including the left and right upper pavilions, as well as the Yanying Hall on the west side, etc. The Chong Pavilion is majestic, with high buildings and extremely magnificent momentum.

At this time, a foreign affairs activity called "Account" and "In fact, it was held in the side hall of this palace. The Tubo envoy Dazandunsu made a request to the Tang Dynasty to return the land south of Dafeichuan.

In the wide side hall of Zichen Hall, there were more than a dozen ministers. The young emperor Li Shi sat in the upper position, and under his head, he sat the regent of the regent of the State. On both sides of the hall, the seven prime ministers and officials from the Honglu Temple, who were sitting in the Political Affairs Hall, looked solemn and listened to the revelations of the Tubo envoys in the middle of the hall.

Dazantunsu prepared very sufficient information. He brought a huge map so that the map could not be expanded. For this reason, the guards of Zichen Palace found a wooden rack and placed it in the main hall. This huge map was posted on the wooden rack.

Li Qing'an was very interested in this map. The huge map was very rich and detailed, including natural landforms such as mountains, rivers, forests, lakes, etc., as well as the distribution and number of Tubo tribes. Perhaps Tubo brought this extremely valuable map to Chang'an in order to show that the Jishishan area was Tubo's inherent territory. Perhaps the Tubo people did not realize that the Tang Dynasty split, Geshuhan took away all the map information, and the Ministry of War did not get a copy of the map south of Dafei River. This map came in time.

Dazantunsu did not realize that his map had been targeted. He saluted Li Shi and said loudly: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Your Highness, the Minister of the Political Affairs Bureau, the demands we said to Tubo Zamp are not unreasonable. Although Tubo and the Tang Dynasty have been constantly warring for a hundred years, one thing is a fact. Tubo has never occupied the land of the Tang Dynasty. The land they argued about was the quasi-zhou or vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, etc.

In the seventh year of Tianbao, we had no objection to the Tang Dynasty. However, the Baihai, Wuhai and Jishishan areas west of the Yellow River occupied by the Tang army have always been the homeland of the Tubo people. We hope that the Tang Dynasty can return the Baihai, Wuhai and Jishishan areas to the reciprocity principle to Tubo. The Tang Dynasty and Tubo are the nephew-uncle country. For this reason, we are willing to reunite with the Tang Dynasty, be friendly for generations, and never fight again."

Dazantunsu spoke passionately and sincerely respectfully, as if he was talking about something reasonable, but in fact, this matter was extremely absurd. Tubo did not invade the land of the Tang Dynasty, not because they did not want to invade, but because they did not have this opportunity for the time being. At the beginning of the expansion of the Tubo people, the Tang Dynasty deployed heavy troops in the Binhelong area. If there were no such heavy troops to defend, the Tubo people would have come to Chang'an long ago.

Now that he was defeated and his land was occupied, he just wanted the Tang army to withdraw. There was no such thing as the reason in the world that he could only kill people when he was fire-proof and not allow others to fight back.

Although Dazantun Suti’s request was absurd, the Tang Dynasty did not flatly refuse it because of this. They wanted to discuss the matter and refute Dazantun Su’s views.

Pei Min stood up and bowed and said, "Encourt, there are a few things I need to explain to you. First, it is not what you said. Tubo has never attacked the land of the Tang Dynasty. In the eighth year of Tianbao, after Nanzhao formed an alliance with Tubo, the Tubo army crossed Yazhou and Maozhou, and launched a large-scale attack on Shuzhou and Chengdu in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, plundering 12,000 Han men and women. It has not been returned to this day. In the ninth year of Tianbao, it attacked Chengdu again and fought with Jiannan Army in Xipu County, Chengdu county. The Tubo army destroyed the city and killed people. The Tang army killed more than 4,000 soldiers and civilians died and injured. As for the invasion of the four towns of Anxi, these towns that were obviously directly under the Tang Dynasty, I won't say much. How can you say that Tubo has never attacked the land of the Tang Dynasty? Perhaps it is because your country is forgotten, but we Tang people have never forgotten it."

Dazantunsu's face was flushed when he was refuted. He quickly explained: "I am talking about occupation, not a temporary invasion. It is difficult for both sides to grasp during the war, and it is impossible to make a conclusion if it passes the border by chance."

"Okay, let me tell you again that Songzhou, Dangzhou, Jingzhou, Gongzhou and other places in Jiannan have always lived in Han Dangxiang people, and built prefectures and county governments. The Tang Dynasty court collected taxes here. For the Tang Dynasty, this is our homeland. However, these prefectures and counties have been occupied by Tubo and have not been returned to this day. Your country wants to return to Wuhai, Baihai and other places. Yes, I am willing to return it, but as the principle of reciprocity you mentioned, your country should also return all the lands in Jiannan you occupied. I think this is the only way to erect a sincere alliance. Otherwise, if the monument is engraved today and invade tomorrow, what sincerity can the alliance be expressed? We have learned a lot of credit and sincerity of your country."

Pei Min's refutation attracted a burst of knowing laughter, and Pei Min also made the Tang Dynasty's attitude very clear. If you want to return the land, then the two sides would sit down and negotiate, exchange land for land, and return the occupied land to each other. With the Tang Dynasty's broad mind, they would make concessions during the negotiations.

The thing is that simple. No matter how much information Dazantunsu prepared, no matter what land Dazantunsu came from, no matter how sincere he was, or how he was talking about it, as long as he started the wrong point, his words were not worth mentioning, and Pei Min could refute him in just a few words. Therefore, when he went to the Tang Dynasty, he did not come with fairness and justice.

Dazantunsu's face turned red and white, and he was refuted so much that he could not speak a word. To this extent, the negotiable negotiation was gone. He did not receive the authorization to return the land in Jiannan, so he naturally could not continue the negotiation.

Dazantunsu sighed secretly, he could go back tomorrow. He laughed dryly, bowed to Emperor Li Shi, and said, "Dear Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I have two purposes for the Tang Dynasty. One is to hope that the Tang Dynasty will return the land of Baihai and Wuhai to Tubo, and the second is to express our respect for the Tang Dynasty. We Zanpu specially prepared a small profit and handed it over to His Majesty the Emperor."

He waved his hand and a deputy walked up. There was a large plate in the middle of his hand, which contained several colors of gifts, one each of the golden beard bottles, one gold plates, one gold bowls, one agate cup, and one antelope and a yak tail.

A guard took the big plate over. At this time, Li Heng smiled and said, "Today is just a meeting, and I will talk about the relationship between the nephews and uncles of the Tang and Turkish countries. You can see the appearance of my Tang Dynasty. After a few days, we will also prepare to return the gift and send the envoy back to the country."

"Thank you, Your Highness, Your Majesty, and Thank you, and I will give up now!"

"Send the Tubo envoy back to the hall!"

The Tubo envoys left. Since there was no negotiation plan, the court officials did not need to hold a meeting to discuss anything, so they dispersed. At this time, only Li Heng and Li Shi were left in the hall. Since Li Shi ascended the throne, their grandparents and grandchildren have never been alone. Although Li Shi was unable to exercise imperial power for the time being and did not threaten Li Heng, Li Shi's statement at the fifth dynasty meeting on August 19th really made Li Heng a little worried. Not only did this boy not abide by the rules of the court meeting and made decisions without authorization, he actually supported Li Qing'an. Did he hear any rumors or who told him something? Li Heng was worried that this stupid boy would do something that was not good for him when he got angry, so it was necessary to have a good talk with him.

"Shi'er, can you come to the emperor's grandfather's court room? The emperor's grandfather wants to say something to you."

Li Heng smiled very kindly and spoke softly. When did he like his eldest grandson very much, he took him to play at a very young age and taught him to read and read. At that time, his kindness was out of his inner love for his grandson, but since he was possessed by the demon of power, his kindness no longer exists. Even if it is expressed by chance, such as now, it is a kind of hypocrisy and pretending.

After the Huangzhuang incident, he no longer had family affection or love for his descendants. He only had two words in his heart; power.

Perhaps it was a telepathy between blood. In the eyes of the eunuchs and guards around him, Li Heng smiled with kindness and respect, but in Li Shi's eyes, Li Heng's smile was so hideous and terrifying, just like a devil's laughter, which scared him down. How dare he go to Li Heng's court room? The queen of the mother repeatedly told him that she could not go to the emperor's grandfather's court room no matter what, let alone eat everything he sent. Li Shi quickly whispered: "The grandson has homework in the afternoon, and the grandson will come to greet the emperor's grandfather again the next day."

"It's okay, I'll just say a few words to you, it won't delay your homework. Let's go! Go to my court room."

As he said that, Li Heng smiled and reached out to pull Li Shi. Li Shi was so scared that his whole body trembled, and his hand suddenly retracted. Now Li Heng's face couldn't be stopped. He immediately lowered his face and said, "What's wrong with you? You're so afraid of me?"

"The grandson is nothing, the grandson is really in trouble."

Li Shi turned around and was about to run away in a panic. Li Heng felt angry and shouted sternly: "Stop!"

Li Shi was nailed straight to the ground like a nail. Li Heng slowly walked forward, pressed Li Shi's shoulder, and said gloomyly: "Tell me the truth, what are you afraid of me?"

Li Shi also calmed down and said, "It's nothing, it's because the emperor's grandfather is thinking too much."

"I'm thinking too much?" Li Heng sneered and said, "I'm thinking too much. I don't think about anything. I think you're thinking too much."

Speaking of this, Li Heng looked around and there were only a few guards and eunuchs, all standing ten steps away. He whispered: "Sun, have you heard any rumors? So he misunderstood the emperor and grandfather."

Li Shi's teeth almost bit her lips, and the anger in his heart began to rise, driving away the fear in his heart. He restrained the strong anger in his heart and said, "The grandson doesn't understand what the emperor and grandfather's rumors are referring to?"

"I mean the death of your father. There are some boring rumors recently. I am worried that you will be bewitched by those rumors and affect the relationship between our grandparents and grandchildren."

"Yes."

Li Shi admitted frankly: "The grandson recently heard a saying that his father was not killed by an assassin, but...."

"What is it?" Li Heng interrupted him nervously.

Li Shi slowly turned around, stared at Li Heng's eyes, and said word by word: "It is rumored that his father was killed by the emperor and grandfather."

For some reason, Li Heng's heart felt weak. He avoided Li Shi's little wolf-like gaze and laughed dryly: "It's so boring, it's so ridiculous. How could I kill my son? The tiger poison is still not eating. Why am I... Who spreads this? I want to check it out and find out that I want to tear him into pieces!"

Li Heng gritted his teeth in hatred, his face deformed. Li Shi stared at his eyes. At this time, his tears poured out. He took two steps back and said with great sadness: "Yes, the tiger poison is not enough to eat the baby, but you killed your own son. It can be seen that you are not even as good as a beast!"

"You are presumptuous!"

Li Heng's blood rushed to the head, he roared wildly, stepped forward, slapped Li Shi in the face, knocking him to the ground, Li Shi stepped on the air and rolled down the jade steps.

Just at this moment, the Yulin Army General An Baoyu walked into the side hall. Because more than a dozen Tubo envoys came to Zichen Hall, and behind Zichen Hall was the inner palace, so after the audience, he wanted to inspect all parts of Zichen Hall to prevent Tubo assassins from mingling into the inner palace. He happened to see Li Shi being knocked over to the ground by Li Heng's palm.

An Baoyu was shocked and shouted, "Master!" He rushed up, and the eunuchs beside him were in a mess and hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Shi up. Some went to find the imperial doctor, and some went to the palace to report the news.

An Baoyu rushed forward and hugged Li Shi. Seeing that he had fainted, bleeding from the corners of his mouth and ears, he was stunned. He slowly looked at Li Heng and asked in extreme surprise: "Your Highness, what's going on?"

Li Heng lost his mind in his rage. At this time, he had calmed down. He slapped his palm so hard that it hurt. He felt a little regretful. It was not that he regretted that he had hit his grandson, but that he would regret that he would make people doubt him. But at this time, he could not make any concessions. He snorted heavily with his hands behind his back and said, "This evil grandson actually insulted his grandfather. He was so ruthless. I naturally want to teach him a lesson."

At this time, Li Shi slowly woke up. He swallowed a few bloody teeth into his stomach and stared at Li Heng with an extremely vicious look. He glanced at An Baoyu, pointed at Li Heng with a trembling finger, and said in a vague and extremely sad and angry tone: "General An, it is him who poisoned my father to death. One day, I will kill him and avenge my father!"
