The news about Songtsen Gampo's request for peace spread to all parts of the Tang Dynasty, and everyone was shocked.
At the same time, I also feel that this is natural.
Because this is the inevitability of a strong country.
If the Tang Dynasty was still too weak, it would be impossible for Tubo to seek peace.
It is impossible for Songtsen Gampo to come to the Tang Dynasty again.
When Songtsen Gampo came last time, he had conflicts with Li Shimin.
Now, he's here again.
And it comes with sincerity.
Regarding the arrival of Songtsan Gampo, Li Shimin ordered a general cleaning of Chang'an City in order to give Songtsan Gampo a good impression and to show that he valued Songtsan Gampo.
This is important.
As long as you have enough respect, you can definitely make the other party feel convinced.
"Where is Songtsen Gampo now?" Li Shimin asked in the Tai Chi Palace.
"Your Majesty, he is already on his way here now. It may be evening before he reaches Chang'an."
It's evening, it's too late, Li Shimin has his own things to do.
In this case, Li Shimin said:
"Okay, you have people receive them, and let them come into the palace to meet me tomorrow."
After Li Shimin said this, the eunuch left the palace and went to make arrangements.
At this time, Queen Changsun was beside him.
"Your Majesty, this..."
"Queen, you think it will be fast, right?" Li Shimin asked.
"I thought the speed was very fast." Queen Changsun said.
"It has to be done quickly, or not quickly. Tubo has always been a pain in my heart. Now it's better. The Tubo people can be subdued, which is an excellent thing for the Tang Dynasty. In the future, I will let Tubo take good care of himself.
development and became the reserve force of Datang."
Obviously Li Shimin thought a lot.
In the past, Li Min was not prepared to give Tubo too much development, but now it is different. Li Shimin felt that he should give Tubo a chance.
Because he believed that the Tang Dynasty developed much more than Tubo.
As for Tubo, it existed like a village, unlike the Tang Dynasty, which was a city.
"But I heard from Min'er that we don't want the Tubo people to learn our knowledge."
"What does he know? The Tang Dynasty is my Datang now. What I want to do is my business and has nothing to do with him."
From Li Shimin's point of view, this is his business and has nothing to do with Li Min.
But what he didn't know was why Li Min thought so.
Because the Tubo people are still very scary. In fact, people from any country are like this. No one wants to fall behind others.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten.
Therefore, everyone is thinking about striving for advancement.
Now that they have this opportunity, they naturally want to seize it.
In other words, if Songtsen Gampo did not do this, he would only perish.
And if he does this, there is still hope for the future.
"But Your Majesty..."
"Okay, don't discuss this matter anymore. Have a good rest. I will be meeting Songtsen Gampo and his friends tomorrow. I am very happy."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he said nothing more.
At this time, Songtsen Gampo took his attendant Lu Dongtsen and sat on the helicopter.
They crossed the vast desert and finally arrived at Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
As soon as they entered the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Songtsen Gampo and Ludongtsen were stunned by the sight in front of them.
They had been here several times before, but it had never been like this.
The street in front of them now is spacious and clean, lined with tall buildings with unique and majestic styles. The pedestrians on the road are well-dressed and elegant, and everyone's face is filled with confidence and calmness.
When they arrived, they were greeted.
Because it was around 7pm when we arrived.
Songtsen Gampo proposed to walk around.
Later, Songtsen Gampo and Ludongtsen were taken on a tour. They visited the factory of the Tang Dynasty and saw the efficient production lines and advanced machinery and equipment. With the assistance of machines, the workers carried out various tasks in an orderly manner.
operate.
Until very late, Songtsen Gampo still didn't feel tired. This visit to Datang really refreshed his knowledge.
Then, early the next morning, he did not go to Li Shimin, but told the envoy that he wanted to visit other places.
Li Shimin agreed.
Finally, Songtsen Gampo went to school again. In the Tang Dynasty school, students sat in spacious and bright classrooms and listened attentively to the teacher's explanation of knowledge.
In the hospital, doctors use advanced medical equipment to treat patients.
This kind of thing made Songtsen Gampo feel shocked. Why was the Tang Dynasty so advanced?
Songtsan Gampo decided to learn from the Tang Dynasty and imitated the model of the Tang Dynasty. He established factories, schools, hospitals and other infrastructure, and thought that he must introduce the advanced technology and equipment of the Tang Dynasty. In Songtsan Gampo's
With hard work, Tubo's economy will gradually develop and the people's living standards will also be improved.
Songtsen Gampo knew that if a country wants to develop and grow, it must continue to learn and introduce advanced technology and culture. Only in this way can it keep up with the pace of the times and achieve national prosperity.
Finally, Songtsen Gampo visited Shengtang Group again.
He left the city again, and when he finished visiting everything, it was already the third day.
On the morning of the third day, Songtsen Gampo was finally going to meet Li Shimin.
When he arrived in front of Tai Chi Palace.
Li Shimin heard about Songtsen Gampo's arrival and went out to greet him personally. He showed great enthusiasm and friendliness.
He invited Songtsen Gampo and Ludongtsen into the palace and hosted a banquet in their honor.
At the banquet, Li Shimin toasted Songtsan Gambo with several glasses of wine, and then said: "Songtsan Gambo, our previous grievances have passed. From today on, we are a country of brothers."
When Li Shimin said this, he actually gave Songtsan Gambo face. This was better than saying that he would be a subordinate, and it sounded much more agreeable. But the agreement still had to be signed in this way. After all, this was a major matter between countries.
.
Songtsen Gampo quickly said: "Your Majesty the King of Tang, this time I saw the power of the Tang Dynasty, which shocked me. It turns out that I, Tibet, am the frog in the well. I was too arrogant before. I am willing to become a subsidiary of the Tang Dynasty. I hope
Your Majesty, King Tang, don’t dislike it.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Shimin laughed loudly and said: "Songtsen Gampo, it is really rare for you to have such an awakening. In this case, we will be a family in the future.
.If you have any difficulties in the future, just ask Datang and we will definitely help you."
Songtsen Gampo said again:
"What's the agreement? Has it been drawn up?"
"Come here and bring out the agreement." Li Shimin said immediately.
Then someone came up with an agreement.
After Songtsen Gampo read it, he felt that there were some things that needed to be corrected. So he proposed the corrections to Li Shimin.
After hearing this, Li Shimin thought for a moment, and then said: "I understand your concerns. We can renegotiate the agreement so that the two countries can cooperate more equally."
After hearing this, Songtsen Gampo felt slightly relieved. He knew that the Tang Dynasty was very powerful. If the Tang Dynasty was unwilling to accept Tubo's peace proposal, Tubo would face annihilation.
"Okay, I will stay in the Tang Dynasty for a while and let's have a good discussion." Songtsen Gampo said.
"That's what I mean. I will ask someone to join you later. If you think something is unreasonable, you can just say it directly. I am not an unreasonable person."
"Yes, His Majesty the King of Tang!"
In the next few days, representatives of the two countries held intense consultations. They re-examined the relationship between the two countries, taking into account the interests and needs of both parties. After repeated discussions, the two sides finally reached a consensus. The signing of the satellite state agreement
The ceremony was held in the main hall of the Tang Dynasty Palace.
Representatives of the two countries solemnly signed the agreement. The agreement stipulated that Tubo became a satellite of the Tang Dynasty. Tubo was required to provide certain resources to the Tang Dynasty every year, but the Tang Dynasty also promised to provide protection and support to Tubo.
Tubo developed its economy, culture and military.
After the signing ceremony, representatives of the two countries toasted to celebrate, which marked that the relationship between the two countries entered a new stage. Songtsen Gampo was very satisfied with the agreement. He knew that although this agreement made Tibet the leader of the Tang Dynasty,
A tributary state, but it also provided guarantee for the development of Tubo. He agreed to Li Shimin's proposal and signed the agreement.
When Songtsan Gambo signed the subsidiary agreement, Li Shimin was overjoyed. He looked at Songtsan Gambo with a smile and said: "Songtsan Gambo, you are a far-sighted person. This decision of yours
It is not only beneficial to your country, but also beneficial to us in Datang. From now on, we are a family, and we can develop together so that the people of both countries can live a better life."
Songtsen Gampo's heart was also full of joy and gratitude. He said respectfully: "Your Majesty the King of Tang, I am very grateful for your tolerance and understanding. I know that my country is still very backward compared with the Tang Dynasty. I hope to be able to
Stay here for a while, study the development of the Tang Dynasty, and learn your advanced technology and culture so that I can better build my country."
Li Shimin laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, this is exactly what I hope for. Songtsen Gampo, it is really rare for you to have such an awareness. If you need anything, just tell me, and Datang will definitely help you to the end."
."
Songtsan Gambo thanked him repeatedly and thought to himself: "I must make good use of this opportunity to learn from the Tang Dynasty and make my country stronger."
At this time, Li Shimin turned to Fang Xuanling and said: "Fang Xuanling, go and take Songtsen Gampo around. If he needs anything, you can contact him directly."
Fang Xuanling responded: "Yes, Your Majesty! I obey your decree!" Songtsen Gampo and Fang Xuanling walked out of the palace together and began their journey of exploration.
At this time, Li Shimin watched them leave, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. Without the threat of Tubo, Li Shimin naturally felt a lot more relaxed. This was exactly the result Li Shimin expected.
The ministers also congratulated Li Shimin very wisely: "Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty!"
The reason why they congratulated them was because Li Shimin successfully resolved the dispute with Tubo and avoided possible war risks. By signing an affiliation agreement with Tubo, Li Shimin not only consolidated the dominance of the Tang Dynasty, but also laid the foundation for peace and stability between the two countries.
Got the basics.
This was an important achievement for the development and stability of the Tang Dynasty, so the ministers congratulated Li Shimin to express their appreciation for Li Shimin's leadership and wisdom. Second, because they knew that Li Shimin had always been committed to the prosperity and stability of the country,
This agreement with Tibet not only prevented the Tang Dynasty from a possible war, but also won a valuable peaceful environment for the country's development. This is extremely beneficial to the country's economic, cultural and social progress. The ministers expressed their gratitude to Li Shimin
Congratulations are also an affirmation and praise for his contribution to the country.
At this time, Empress Changsun stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, now Tibet has surrendered and only one Goguryeo is left."
Li Shimin nodded slightly and said confidently: "I will apply the experience of governing Tubo to Goguryeo, and I believe we will be able to achieve good results."
Later, Li Shimin turned to Queen Changsun and asked: "Queen, how do you think I handled it this time?"
Empress Changsun smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, you handled it very well."
Li Shimin asked: "Tell me, what are the good aspects?"
Queen Changsun thought for a moment and said:
"The Tang Dynasty has a strong military force: We have a strong military force that can effectively protect border security. The Tang Dynasty's army is well-organized, well-equipped, tactically flexible, and has strong combat effectiveness.
There is also a more open cultural policy. Your Majesty adopts an open cultural policy to encourage cultural exchanges and integration. As well as flexible diplomatic strategies: The Tang Dynasty adopted flexible diplomatic strategies when dealing with border issues. These can make the Tang Dynasty become more
powerful."
"Okay, okay, as expected, the Queen understands my thoughts." Li Shimin was overjoyed.
This is indeed the case. Empress Changsun understood Li Shimin very well.
Know how Li Shimin governed the Tang Dynasty.
And she also participated in governance.
This was an extremely important matter for Datang.
"Your Majesty, that's where Tubo is..."
Li Shimin knew what Empress Changsun wanted to say next.
It must be about Tubo again.
So, he didn't want to hear it.
"Queen, let's not discuss this matter, let's leave it at that."
He didn't want to hear any more.
Empress Changsun had no choice but to agree: "Then I will go down first."
Since he doesn't want to hear it, there's no need for her to stay here any longer.
So Queen Changsun retreated.
Li Shimin didn't stop him either.
Instead, he looked out the window.
In the future, the world will be unified and everything will belong to the Tang Dynasty. I feel happy just thinking about it.
That would really be the coming of all nations.
It had been several years since the last time the nations came to the DPRK, and Li Shimin was wondering if he wanted to do it again?
Therefore, he immediately decided that since Songtsen Gampo had surrendered, he should let other countries know about it and let all nations come to court again.
As soon as he had this idea, he wanted to do it.
So he called the eunuch.
He also ordered: "Let the vassal countries come to the Tang Dynasty for an audience on the fifteenth day of next month!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
The order was passed down.
Soon, there were nearly a thousand countries, large and small, and they sent envoys to Datang.
Although everyone still doesn't know what happened, in this case, something big must have happened.
