Li Po was ready to end the conversation quickly. The Chinese spoken by Subimuluo was too poor, and she couldn't understand the too subtle words. When talking to people like them, just get straight to the point without going around.
.
"I see you're hungry too, so let's make a long story short. As a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, Supi, first of all, has to come to Chang'an every year to pay homage. No matter what happens, he must come to Chang'an every year.
Secondly, from now on, every king of Supi will come to Chang'an in person to ask for my canonization. If he does not come, the queen he has chosen, Tang Dynasty, will not recognize her.
Once I know that you have made your own decisions, I will definitely impose a punishment even crueler than your divine punishment.
Third, Su Pi has the obligation to send troops to help the Tang Dynasty fight. After returning, he will select a thousand people and send them to Liangzhou to join the Tang army. In addition, he will also select the fifty most brave ones to come to Chang'an.
As my guardian.
Fourth, since you people in Supi want to do business with the Tang Dynasty, you must first learn Chinese well. I will send people to Supi to teach you the Chinese language and etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, so that your people will not come to the territory of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
, causing unnecessary misunderstandings.
There are also some things that you need to do. I won't tell you one by one here. You have been in Chang'an for a few months. You should understand that the Tang Dynasty is not Tubo. The power of the Tang Dynasty is difficult for you to compete with.
From now on, it will be your own benefit to work for me honestly, do you understand?"
Supimala was more comfortable with giving orders in a straightforward manner. Regardless of whether she remembered it or not, she immediately imitated the understanding of the Tang army soldiers and patted her towering chest several times.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty the Emperor. From now on, the Supi people will worship you as they worship the god Asura. I will take every word you say back to the distant Shannan.
The Supi people will become your most loyal servants, and your enemies are the enemies of the Supi people. The Supi people are willing to kill them for you, as long as you can bring peace and harvest to the Supi people."
Li Po laughed. Her humble posture was in line with his expectations. This little queen of the Supi people was obviously very smart. The rudeness and savagery she showed from time to time, maybe she was deliberately pretending?
Before Subimuluo finished speaking, she wiped her mouth carelessly, "Your Majesty the Emperor, since you gave the surname Mi Xia, why didn't you think of me?
Is it because Subi Mara is a woman? Or is it that the Subi people are not as useful as the Xiangxiong people? Your glorious name has spread throughout the south of the mountain, and the gods are whispering and chanting your name. Why are the Subi people?
Can’t you get such an honor?”
Li Po raised his eyebrows. Is this jealousy?
Li Po slowly stopped smiling and his eyes became focused, "Since you claim to be my slave and want to worship me like a god, why do you dare to question me like this?
Did you ask for this gift from the gods?"
Li Po still prefers to play this kind of game. Facing those deep-seated guys all day long, even turning his attention eight times in one sentence is not enough. If he is not careful, he may be deceived by the cunning ministers.
Subimala looked very smart, but he didn't have that many thoughts.
She lowered her head slightly at this time to show her submission and surrender. The few months she spent in Datang really gave her an extremely shocking impact.
Compared to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty...well, she preferred to compare her royal capital with several small cities to the north of Jishi Mountain.
There were too many people in the Tang Dynasty, and I don’t know how they gave birth to children. The total number of people in Supi was probably not as large as the people in Chang’an.
In fact, she overestimated the population of Supi. It is doubtful whether the total number of Supi people is 300,000, but Chang'an is a big city of 600,000 to 700,000 people.
This is a huge and despairing gap. This is also the situation faced by the small countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty. The small countries have few people and primitive lives.
But their neighbor is a behemoth. As long as this behemoth functions normally, if a hair falls from the behemoth, it may crush them to death.
In fact, this is also true. Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for some rebels from the Central Plains dynasty to run away to escape pursuit, and then easily destroy some small countries, and then become the kings themselves.
…………
Before Subimuluo could speak, Li Po continued: "I can give you an explanation, but you have to remember that this is the first and last time, don't do such stupid things again.
You also know how the queen of the Supi people was selected. One day your child can ascend the throne and pass it on like Xiangxiong, so there is nothing wrong with giving her a surname."
Subimuluo suddenly raised his head, looked at the aloof Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and asked: "You mean..."
Then she shook her head, "No one will agree to that. The gods are watching the Supi people, and we cannot change what He has decided."
"This is your business. Our Tang Dynasty will not interfere in the selection of the leaders of the countries. This is the most tolerant promise that the Tang Dynasty can give you."
Subimuluo nodded, stuffed a piece of snack into his mouth, and muttered: "I understand what you mean. No matter what, when the time comes, we will always keep your kindness and kindness in our hearts."
Li Po smiled, he knew that once something sprouts in his heart, it can no longer be eradicated. The decision of the gods and the human heart are the most important factors.
Non-interference in internal affairs... is a standard diplomatic rhetoric. Whether you comply with it or not depends on your strength. The internal affairs, diplomacy, and even the military of these vassal states are all controlled by the Tang Dynasty. Do not interfere in internal affairs? How is that possible?
Subimara obviously ignored this. Now she was thinking about how she and her sister were elected queens.
It was the waiters of the gods who found them, and according to the rules set by the gods, after the death of the previous generation of queens, a grand sacrifice would be held to celebrate the return of the queen to the kingdom of God, and to select the next generation of queens.
God Asura will give guidance, and his attendants will hear his voice and find the two sisters who are paid attention to by the gods.
This means that as long as one of the two queens goes to the Kingdom of God, the other will abdicate, but this rule was actually broken many years ago.
Facing the threat from the Yalong people, the Supi people broke into civil strife. The little queen killed the big queen and proclaimed herself Queen Supi. Later, she was killed in the palace by her courtiers.
All the Supi people thought that it was her actions that offended the gods, and God Asura sent down divine punishment. But unfortunately, the Supi people were among the punished. They were conquered by the Yalong people and became the Yalong people.
servant.
If she and her sister's children can continue to hold Suvi's power, will they also suffer the wrath of Asura?
There is no answer. The support of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty may allow them to escape? Who knows? If they no longer believe in the god Asura...
Thinking of this, Subimuluo woke up suddenly and did not dare to think about it anymore...
…………
"Your Majesty, do you know Tianzhu?"
If Mi Xia hears Subimuluo's tone at this time, he will definitely suspect that this woman is possessed by someone. She is not so gentle when talking to us, but also cautious.
Li Po lightly knocked on the table. He originally wanted to end the conversation. He had a private chat with Princess Subi because he wanted her to recognize the person clearly and not to turn around and remember how many delicious foods there are in the Tang Dynasty.
There was also a majestic emperor in the Tang Dynasty.
I didn't expect Subimala to ask such a question.
Li Po nodded, "In the Buddhist Kingdom of Tianzhu, Prince Bodhidharma Siddhartha is the origin of Buddhism. The place where he was born should be in the current Tianzhu Kingdom. People in Xiangxiong should know it very well. Why do you ask me?"
Subimuluo smiled and said: "I heard that there are many good things in Tianzhu. If the Tang Dynasty needs them, the people of Subi and Xiangxiong will go and get them for the Tang Dynasty.
But the Xiangxiong people will not listen carefully to my words. If His Majesty the Emperor can order them... I promise His Majesty the Emperor that when I return, I will lead troops to attack the Bolu Kingdom stationed at the Bulu Pass.
After capturing the Bulu Pass, no matter what kind of harvest we will get, we will give the most generous portion to His Majesty, do you think that's okay?"
What a bunch of living bandits. Did the Tubo people think the same way when they rushed out of Jishi Mountain Pass? They really care about food but not fighting. Li Po's heart was filled with a lot of alpacas running past, which made him hold his forehead involuntarily.
Li Po didn't know what the country of Tianzhu looked like at this time. They probably only occupied a small part of the South Asian subcontinent. Living on the banks of the Ganges, they were probably still a city-state that combined politics and religion.
Not much is known about Tianzhu in the Central Plains, but there are some records from the Han Dynasty. Even though it was called Shendu Country, that was also the general name for the South Asian subcontinent during the Han Dynasty.
Due to limited conditions, no one has actually been there. They only heard about such a kingdom when they were communicating with the Western Regions.
The messy stories people later heard about about the Mauryan Dynasty, the Mughal Empire and so on were mostly Sanskrit records and were of the same nature as Homer's epics, leaning towards mythical stories.
In the northwest of the Central Plains dynasty, there has never been a powerful empire dominated by the races of the South Asian subcontinent. Its influence has almost spread to Afghanistan, and it has taken the entire Western Region into its hands.
On the contrary, during the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Rouran people from the north rushed into the South Asian subcontinent, beating some of the tribal coalition forces there to flee.
Later, ancient India had a history of being invaded by barbarians, which seems to be the Rouran people.
It is a pity that some records in Sanskrit in ancient India are related to myths, and the narratives are confusing and cannot be trusted by people. This also gives the humanoid creatures in the West the opportunity to make up random things.
You can actually get entangled with the history of Greece living in the Mediterranean. Are you kidding me?
The Aryans, Alexander the Great, all traveled around the South Asian subcontinent. The authenticity of this is actually open to question. It is more likely that after the rise of the Persians, Huns, Turks, Rourans and later Arabs,
Khyber Pass, entering the South Asian subcontinent.
Forget it whether they are Greeks or Romans. South Asia is too far away from them. Their sporadic appearance in Central Asia is enough of a fantasy. The rest should be mostly fabricated.
Later, the three brothers did not bother to delve into their history and recognized everything. They were worthy of being members of the British Commonwealth.
