The little prince spoke with joy, came in front of him, and bowed down.
In fact, he is fourteen years old. A young man of this age is not too young. He is already slender, handsome, and calm. However, Li Yan still likes to call him a little prince. After all, Murong Fu is always a bit weird.
Li Yan taught students according to their aptitude, and passed on to this apprentice a high-end version of basic internal skills and a low-end version of Qianqiu Jue: "Your strength has declined. Now that you are practicing Zhenqi, you are more suitable for handling government affairs. If you practice well, you will have endless benefits.
"
The little prince was happiest because his master was so attentive to him. During this period, he taught him personally as never before. When had he ever enjoyed such treatment? He quickly responded: "Yes! Disciple must work hard!"
Li Yan smiled: "Come and take a look!"
The two of them stood on a high place and looked down.
They were currently located at the border of Luowo. When Tubo was destroyed by Tuyuhun, the first battle was held here. Brenzan was also besieged here by the Tang army and fought to the death. In the end, the guards directly tied him up and surrendered.
Went to Chang'an to dance, and at this moment, many Qiang people were moving with their families from Tubo territory to Tuyuhun territory.
The little prince felt comfortable: "I still remember when I went to the Tubo Royal City, the streets were full of Tuyuhun refugees. I swore at that time that I would restore Tuyuhun and make it stronger than Tubo, and then let the Tubo people
Escape to Tuyuhun! Now it’s finally come true!”
Li Yan nodded slightly. The people at the bottom may have their limitations, but their survival instinct will drive them to make judgments.
Nothing better reflects the domestic situation in Tibet than this scene.
He also thought of an interesting thing.
In the Tibetan historical book "The Sage's Wedding Banquet", there is a small story recorded. Songtsan Gampo's grandfather Dari was blinded when he was young. Later, he asked King Tuyuhun to go for treatment. As a result, during the treatment, Dari became blind.
Nian Sai's boots were hanging on the door. King Tuyuhun didn't care, so he walked in through the door. When he went back, King Tuyuhun's mother asked about it. She was shocked and said that it was Tubo Zampu's boots that stepped on King Tuyuhun's head. In the future,
Tuyuhun will be destroyed by Tubo.
Obviously prophecies are not only used by the Central Plains dynasties, but also by foreign races to emphasize that this is destiny and it is destined to be like this.
Now Li Yan is very curious. When Tuyuhun helps the Tang Dynasty destroy Tubo, how will the prophecies in the historical records be compiled? How should the boots be stepped on to keep in line with historical development?
However, after the little prince felt happy that his great revenge had been avenged, he did not expand blindly and frowned again: "However, the Tubo people are pouring into our valley in large numbers, which has also made various tribes unfair. If this continues, there will probably be trouble."
Li Yan asked: "What is the current situation in Tuyuhun?"
The little prince still spoke frankly in front of his master: "It's not good. Those Qiang tribe tycoons have experienced the subjugation and restoration of their country, and their respect for the royal family has completely disappeared."
"My father only cares about enjoying himself and doesn't care about anything. My mother already has the idea of returning to the Tang Dynasty!"
"If I didn't have the prestige of restoring the country, control the tea ceremony, and control various ministries, it would be difficult to convey government orders. Alas..."
So fundamentally, it is not that Tuyuhun governed better than Tubo, but that Tubo became worse, and the two sides were comparing themselves to each other.
Li Yan was not surprised and comforted: "Every country has its limitations, so you don't have to be too persistent. Blindly pursuing the better will be counterproductive."
The plateau countries during the Sui and Tang Dynasties were actually very prosperous. The biggest reason was the climate. The average temperature during the Tang Dynasty was two degrees higher than that of later generations, which was conducive to human survival. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau became rich in water and grass. This was a blessing from God and the envy of future generations.
No.
But no matter how good the climate is, it cannot change the social structure.
Just like the Tang Dynasty, due to the limitations of the times, there was no way to solve social conflicts by developing productive forces. It could only pursue a relatively good system. In fact, turmoil and decline will still be unavoidable in the future, but this is the law of history and cannot be changed by human will.
.
Tuyuhun is a slave society composed of various tribes. Even if there is a good Khan King, the upper limit is already determined. The little prince was ambitious at first and thought he would be different from others. After experiencing the ravages of reality, he realized that there really was no such thing.
What's different.
At this time, he rolled his eyes and said tentatively: "Master, I, Tuyuhun, am a vassal of the Tang Dynasty. I am no different from Jisu Prefecture. If I can be directly merged into the Tang Dynasty, it might not be a bad idea..."
When he was living in the Tang Dynasty, he dreamed of restoring the country and becoming the Tuyuhun Khan. Now that he was restored to the country, with his prestige after the death of Murong Nuohebo, he was destined to become the Tuyuhun Khan. He also wanted to be the Great Khan.
Governor of the Tang Dynasty.
Maybe this is growth.
Li Yan said: "It's not too late to wait until the situation in Tubo is settled and a group of powerful chiefs will be eliminated. Then we will consider those."
The little prince understood: "My disciple understands."
Li Yan asked again: "How is Buddhism in the two countries now?"
The little prince said: "Master Jiumo led the monks to provide relief when I was hit by a disaster in Tuyuhun. All tribes accepted his kindness, and there were many believers. The new Buddhism in Tubo became more prosperous, but this also triggered the Yongzhong Bon Religion.
In response, the conflict between the two sides has become more and more intense."
Li Yan was not surprised: "Buddhism in Tubo really flourished."
People must have support to survive, either to meet material needs or to meet spiritual needs. The reason why Buddhism became a common belief in ancient countries is that it is best suited to fill the spiritual void.
Now that the Tubo people have no hope of life, they have all fled to Tuyuhun, and there is no hope of material life. So what should we do?
Believe in Buddhism!
The little prince thought for a while and said: "Master, aren't you and Master Jiumo good friends? Dalun Temple is now the leader of emerging Buddhism and has huge power. Why not get his support?"
Li Yan shook his head: "If Dalun Temple is willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, I will naturally welcome it. If Dalun Temple and Kumarajiva fight for Tubo, I will also respect their choice and try to let each other's inheritance continue under the flames of war.
, This is the testimony of my friendship with him."
The little prince nodded slightly: "That's it."
Li Yan determined his next move and said: "Spiritual feeling!"
Anshen came to the other side and listened.
Li Yandao: "All the secret lines that entered Tubo were activated to spread rumors and create unrest. Now you enter the country in large numbers like monks, visit various ministries, and bribe with gold, silver, and tea. I want Tubo to be completely in chaos."
The nerves were soothed and the spirit was lifted: "Yes!"
Li Yan took out another letter: "Send this letter to Sun Boruben. The feud between the Gar family and Su Pi does not rule out the possibility of taking action in advance. If we can survive this disaster, the Daughter Kingdom will appear again."
.”
…
"The Gar family is really ruthless. They start war without declaring it and start directly!"
Sun Boruben looked at the assassin lying in a pool of blood in front of him, and the wrinkles on his face were stretched by the lingering fear and the anger that followed.
Just now, several assassins took advantage of the darkness to attack and kill. Fortunately, the felt tents arranged like a maze came in handy, and they successfully bought time to respond. In the end, with the support of the guards, they survived without any danger.
Overcome this difficulty.
Several thousand heads of households who arrived were surprised and angry, but also a little happy: "My eldest princess, it seems that the Gar family has run out of skills. Recently they mobilized Wuru to go to Andong, but each tribe is acting in secret and openly.
Those who resisted, and now Tubo is in chaos, it is a great opportunity for me to restore our country!"
Calling her the Great Princess instead of Ru Ben obviously meant she was determined to get rid of the later rewards from Tubo and return to the old Supi royal system.
But Sun Boru was not happy at all, and his heart sank: "No, it is precisely because the country is in chaos now, and the other party has to make all-out efforts to fight the Tang army, and more importantly, it is necessary to stabilize the country. The assassin attack will definitely not be everything, or even just an appetizer.
The really scary thing is Qinling."
The head of the Qian household was immediately shocked: "What does the princess mean, Qin Ling will directly lead the army to kill?"
Sun Poru's voice was heavy: "I, Sun Poru, govern the old land of Supi. In terms of products, I am the richest among Wuru, but my military strength has been suppressed. Even if all your guards and soldiers are gathered together, and the private guards of each department are combined, I can't make it."
The number of Qi's 20,000 is really hard to compare with the elite troops that Qin Ling once faced off against the Tang soldiers. Once this general comes with his army, it will definitely be an unstoppable massacre!"
The head of the Qian household said in a trembling voice: "Then how about we ask the other three Ru for help? We have been in close contact recently and have a harmonious relationship. We can ask them to send troops for assistance!"
Sun Poruben said coldly: "Those Sanru bully the weak and fear the strong, and the alliance can put pressure on them, but how dare they directly raise troops to confront Qin Ling? They will even take the opportunity to plunder our women and wealth!"
The atmosphere in the tent was deathly silent.
In this case, isn't it a dead end?
Sun Boru looked at everyone's expressions and said calmly: "Why are you panicking! We are people who have subjugated our country. If we want to restore our old country, we will naturally risk our lives. The day before yesterday, the internal guards of the Tang Dynasty even reported that Li
The letter from the cabinet leader said that if the Gar family goes to war, what is written in it may be able to help me, Subi, overcome this difficulty!"
She took out the letter, as if it was unopened, and handed it to the heads of thousands of households: "You can circulate it!"
Several thousand household heads took it carefully. They were surprised at first why Yu Ruben didn't open it, but after thinking about it, they understood. In order to prove that this letter was definitely not a forgery by her, they couldn't help but feel convinced: "Your Majesty, your daughter is smart!"
At this moment, not to mention the strong support of the Tang Dynasty, even the statements of a few small tribes were enough to become a life-saving straw for the drowning people. Looking at this letter, everyone's panic quickly calmed down.
Sun Boru wanted this effect, so he showed it in a circle and opened the letter in front of everyone.
When she opened the letter, her hands actually trembled slightly. Although judging from Li Yuanfang's reputation, he was not a person who broke his word, but after all, many lives in the clan were involved, and no one could help but be nervous.
After unfolding the yellow paper, the majestic handwriting came into view. In addition to the characters of the Tang Dynasty, there was even a translation in Sun Bo's words by the inner guard at the back. After Sun Boru read it smoothly, he was suddenly stunned, and then read it again carefully.
After all, a look of disbelief emerged.
Seeing the change in her expression, the heads of thousands of households became anxious again: "My eldest daughter, what did the letter say?"
Sun Boruben whispered: "The letter said that Zanpu will help us."
The heads of thousands of households were also stunned immediately: "Who?"
They want to restore the country and re-divide Supi, which has been included in the territory of Tubo. The most intolerable one is not the Gar family. After all, the Gar family is only a family of powerful ministers and is not the king of this country. It is really intolerable.
Of course it’s the King of Tubo, Zanpu!
Sun Boru was actually very puzzled. If it hadn't been for the detailed contact information with the Tang envoys around Zanpu, she would have thought that Li Yuanfang was playing a trick on her.
However, since the other party was also prepared for the possibility of the Gar family taking advantage of the situation, and the situation had reached this point, Sun Boru really had no choice. She summoned her trusted guards and gave careful instructions: "Go ahead, just follow this method to contact us.
Tang Envoy!"
The confidant guards took the order and left. Sun Boru did not wait blindly. Instead, he ordered all the ministries to prepare for defense. Even if he knew that he was no match for the enemy, if Qin Ling really led his army, he would fight back hard, or at least hit the opponent hard, so that
The blood of the Supi people will not be shed in vain!
Just when Sun Poru's senior management was already feeling determined to die, the guards who sent the message returned, bringing with them Yang Zaisi, Shen Juyuan and a group of Dongcheng forbidden troops.
The first two were nothing more than that. When they saw the group of Zanpu's personal guards, Sun Boruben stopped in Bengbu.
