Let's talk about the news that Gao Zang was sent to Tai Chi Palace. It quickly reached Li Min.
The punishment for Gao Zang.
Li Min said that Goguryeo found this by himself.
It's just that Ji Ruxue expressed confusion about Li Shimin's punishment.
"Ms. sir, why do you think His Majesty spared Gao Zang's life!?"
she asked.
"Because keeping Gao Zang alive is very valuable! He is the faith of the Goguryeo people! Keeping him alive is more powerful than killing him!"
Li Min said this.
"oh?"
Ji Ruxue didn't understand it for the moment.
Why did Li Min say this.
But she didn't want to know. Since Li Min approved of Li Shimin's approach, then let's approve it.
"By the way, it seems that His Majesty really gave the ownership of Goguryeo to New Tang Dynasty!"
"Well, I know!"
"Then the Queen of New Tang Dynasty is under great pressure, she wants to rule the entire peninsula!"
"How is it compared to the female Tang?"
Li Min asked back.
"Nv Tang... is more pure!" Ji Ruxue said.
In fact, being a Tang Dynasty is not easy either.
Jian Ren supported the entire Nvtang alone.
And he ruled well.
As for Nutang, the ingredients are more complex.
But Li Min is here.
"But if New Tang Dynasty has the support of the emperor and our support, they will definitely be better!"
"Indeed, this is good."
Ji Ruxue said.
"By the way, I heard that His Majesty spread the news that Goguryeo was conquered. What did he want to do?"
Regarding Ji Ruxue’s question.
Li Min said.
"He wants everyone in the world to know that the weapons possessed by the Tang Dynasty are invincible in the world. Then, all nations will come to court next! All countries that have communication with the Tang Dynasty will be notified."
Ji Ruxue heard this.
"What? That's it!"
The news about Li Shimin spread quickly. In less than a day, all the countries surrounding Datang received news about the new weapons to conquer Goguryeo.
Moreover, these countries are ready to take action.
And another day passed.
When Li Min was working in the office, he was suddenly interrupted by a phone call.
He answered the phone.
"Which one?"
"it's me!"
The caller was none other than Songtsen Gampo.
"It turns out it's you, Songtsen Gampo, what's the matter?"
Li Min was a little surprised by his call.
It's been about half a year since my last call.
What is the purpose of this call?
"I heard about Goguryeo!"
Songtsen Gampo said it as soon as he arrived.
"And what do you want to say?"
Li Min asked.
"For that weapon, please give me a price!"
It turns out that the Tibetans also wanted these weapons.
In fact, Li Min could predict it.
Because these weapons are so powerful.
Let Li Shimin capture Goguryeo within fifteen days.
This was the first time they knew about such a powerful Tang army.
The last time we captured Baekje, it took a lot of trouble and we had to attack from multiple fronts.
This time, Goguryeo was taken with great force.
Will this make people less jealous?
So Songtsen Gampo called.
"What? Do you want these weapons too?"
"Yes, no matter how high the price is, I want those weapons!"
Songtsen Gampo still underestimated Li Min.
Li Min was first a Tang Dynasty person, and then a businessman.
Although it is profitable, he will maintain his original intention.
Therefore, he rejected Songtsen Gampo's request.
"Sorry, I can't promise you!"
Li Min said this directly.
"Why?"
"Because these weapons are the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. If I sell them to you, then I have violated the foundation. Do you understand?"
"I don't understand, I just want to make Tubo stronger!"
Songtsen Gampo said so.
"Then you may have to rely on your own abilities!"
Li Min said with a smile.
"Is it really not possible?"
"No! I've said it before, and I won't say it a second time. Maybe you have a way to go!"
Li Min said.
In fact, there was a big reason why Songtsen Gampo came to ask for weapons. That was because he wanted to become stronger.
Because Datang was stronger than he knew.
Therefore, he must be stronger.
Otherwise, you will not be able to protect your own country.
Because of Datang's strength, he was worried.
"What? Say it!"
Songtsen Gampo asked.
"Become attached to the Tang Dynasty, and all threats will cease to exist!"
Li Min said.
Songtsan Gampo quits.
"How can that be done? I am the leader of a country. If I surrender to the Tang Dynasty, what will I become?"
"I think you have misunderstood the concept of submission. If you submit to the Tang Dynasty, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will definitely treat you well and will not impose force on you. You only need to pay some fees and that will be fine."
Li Min said.
That is equal to the time to pay the protection fee.
But how could Songtsen Gampo agree?
"What if I don't agree?"
Songtsen Gampo said.
"Then you have to live in fear."
Li Min said softly.
Songtsen Gampo was silent.
Yes, this time it was because of fear that he came to seek Li Min's weapons.
If he doesn't agree to join the Tang Dynasty, one day the Tang Dynasty may let him clearly understand what fear is.
"Is there no other way?"
Songtsen Gampo asked again.
"You are not the first, nor the last! My advice is here, it is up to you whether you listen to it or not! Don't let the time come, and you will be isolated!" Li Min said.
There are several countries close to Tubo, and they have been in a state of ambiguity regarding the performance of the Tang Dynasty in recent years.
Now that the Tang Dynasty has become more powerful, they may send envoys to the Tang Dynasty to make a decision to submit to the Tang Dynasty.
"What if I give you more medicinal materials?" Songtsen Gampo did not give up.
"As far as I know, some of your immortality medicines were purchased from Tubo. If possible, I can exchange them for the medicines!"
Songtsen Gampo had his own little plan.
But for Li Min, this is nothing.
The current immortality medicine is no longer its top product.
And now that production has gone up, the demand for raw materials is no longer so high.
Moreover, who can guarantee that Songtsen Gampo will not succumb to the Tang Dynasty in the next period of time?
If one day we really succumbed to the Tang Dynasty, would we not just take the medicinal materials?
He doesn't have to negotiate at all.
"Songtsen Gampo, you'd better listen to my advice to avoid suffering!"
Li Min said again.
Songtsen Gampo didn’t want to hear it.
So, he said: "No! I will not agree, and I will not let my people succumb to the Tang Dynasty!"
"Well, I hope you won't regret it one day!"
Li Min has reason to believe that Songtsen Gampo will definitely listen to his advice in the future.
"It looks like we have nothing to talk about anymore!"
Songtsen Gampo said again.
"Yeah, there's nothing to talk about anymore, so just hang up!"
After Li Min finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
As for Songtsen Gampo's choice, he didn't want to worry about it.
He won't sell him weapons either.
And after he hung up the phone, the phone rang again.
