Qin Chuan asked the maid again.
"Master, you are just too tired. Take a few days of rest and you won't have random thoughts."
Whispered.
It was very quiet last night. There was no sound anywhere.
Qin Chuan was sure that those people had been here last night. What method could be used to make everyone fall asleep?
"You didn't even know you were sold."
Qinchuan Road.
These people sleep really well and can't even hear the loudest noises last night.
The maids covered their mouths and snickered, thinking that the master must not have slept well.
After dinner, Qin Chuan went into the city.
Arrive at Honglu Temple.
Xu Jingzong was waiting for Qin Chuan here early.
The two exchanged greetings and then walked into the hall.
A group of envoys dressed in coarse cloth stood up when they saw the two.
"Sit down, everyone. We are guests."
Xu Jingzongdao.
Xu Jingzong made an invitation gesture, Qin Chuan took his seat, and Xu Jingzong followed suit.
"This is our credential."
A messenger said in broken Chinese.
Qin Chuan's tooth ached after hearing this, and the attendant sent the certificate of credence to Xu Jingzong and Qin Chuan.
Lift the cloth.
Qin Chuan looked at the knots in confusion. Is this the credentials?
Xu Jingzong didn't understand either, but he pretended to understand.
"I will submit this letter of credence. Is there anything else you can say?"
Xu Jingzongdao.
The Tubo envoy stood up.
"We will send 10,000 cattle and 10,000 sheep."
The messenger said.
Xu Jingzong looked at Qin Chuan.
"Shizhong Qin told me about you."
Xu Jingzong said, blinking a few times.
Qin Chuan understood instantly.
"Ahem, the Tuyuhun royal family is going to be sent to Chang'an. If you don't agree to the rest, there is no need to talk."
Qinchuan Road.
The messengers looked at each other and shook their heads.
"We have sent the Tuyuhun royal family to Longxi."
The messenger said.
Qin Chuan frowned.
Longxi?
The Guanlong aristocracy was dominated by the Xianbei people in the early stage, and it was a place where civil and military forces were integrated.
Li Jing's hometown, Li Shimin's ancestor also settled in Longxi with the surname Li.
Li Shimin's ascension as emperor was indispensable without the support of the Guanlong nobles.
This is also the reason why Changsun Wugao can become the queen. It is not because Li Shimin likes her so much. State affairs have nothing to do with liking her.
Changsun Wugou's becoming the queen was the Tang Dynasty's attitude toward Guanlong, which elevated the rank of Guanlong's nobles.
This makes the status of the Guanuan nobles higher than that of the Shandong nobles.
Li Jiancheng failed to defeat Li Shimin. It seemed like a battle between two major groups, but it was actually a battle between two major regions.
The Shandong nobles failed.
Qinchuan's face turned ugly. Now that the nobles of the two places have exchanged and reconciled and married each other, will the Tuyuhun royal family be handed over to Qinchuan if the nobles are imprisoned?
Disaster.
"You talk, I'll go and send the credentials to His Majesty."
Qinchuan Road.
Xu Jingzong nodded.
Manna Hall.
Qin Chuan placed the credentials in front of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin opened it and his face darkened.
"What does it mean?"
Li Shimin looked at Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan scratched his head, not knowing what it meant.
Pointing to a knot.
"This is Nianqian."
Qinchuan Road.
This is confusing, he doesn't know what the word means.
No one recognized the Tibetan script at this time. Tubo only had writing in 618 AD. There was writing but no pen. In Tubo, you could use charcoal to write, but the certificate of credence sent to the Tang Dynasty could not be written in charcoal. The journey took half a year, and when it was sent to the Tang Dynasty, The handwriting has long been unclear.
So knots of rope were used instead of words.
Li Shimin looked unbelieving.
"you sure?"
Li Shimin said.
Qin Chuan scratched his head.
"uncertain."
Qinchuan Road.
Li Shimin smiled angrily and glared at Qin Chuan.
"Come here, let all the civil servants enter the palace."
Li Shimin said.
Soon a group of ministers gathered around to study the credentials.
Li Shimin and Qin Chuan came outside.
"Your Majesty thinks that Tibet wants to attack the Tang Dynasty."
Qinchuan Road.
Li Shimin frowned.
"The Tang Dynasty is attacking the Turks with all its strength at this time. It is a golden opportunity for Tubo to attack at this time."
Qin Chuan said again.
Li Shimin sighed in his heart, Qin Chuan was right.
"What's the explanation?"
Li Shimin said.
Qin Chuan shook his head.
"Now the Tang Dynasty is in a stalemate with an evenly matched enemy, and it is unable to fight against the Tibetan Tang Dynasty."
Qinchuan Road.
"The Tubo attack on the Tang Dynasty was a condescending attack. A kite could fly to Chang'an, so it could only be comforted."
Qin Chuan said again.
Li Shimin smiled.
"Looks like we're going to get married again."
Li Shimin said that he really didn't want to get married, but he had no choice.
The reason why Tubo had good relations with Tang Dynasty was also simple.
The marriage partner is not important, what is important is the dowry.
"Which princess do you think is more suitable?"
Li Shimin looked at Qin Chuan with a half-smile.
"I thought I didn't know until I was beaten."
Qinchuan Road.
Li Shimin was silent. No one wanted to fight more than him, but he couldn't. No one understood the national conditions better than him. Datang had no money.
"Brother Chen is willing to go to the front line."
Qin Chuan said again.
"Haha, that's good, but you three brothers have a more important position."
Li Shimin laughed.
Returning to the Manna Hall, the ministers still didn't see what was written in this country.
"I already know the contents of the certificate of credence. Tubo intends to make good friends with the Tang Dynasty. Can you tell me how to deal with this matter?"
Li Shimin said.
"I think we can discuss it later."
Fang Xuanling said.
"This matter will be discussed in court tomorrow morning. You can go down."
Li Shimin said.
The ministers walked out of the hall one after another.
When Qin Chuan was about to follow him out, he was stopped by Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, stay here."
Li Shimin said.
After all the ministers were gone, Li Shimin looked at Qin Chuan.
"Have Four Stars ever looked for you?"
Li Shimin said.
Qin Chuan took out a piece of cloth from his arms and placed it on the document in front of Li Shimin.
"I went there yesterday. I left as quickly as I came. They said that I was their Yang Lord. I suspect that they were scolding me and calling me a pig."
Qinchuan Road.
Li Shimin picked up the piece of cloth and looked at it.
After a long time, Li Shimin smiled.
Unknown things are the most terrifying. Now that Chang'an Four Stars have found Qinchuan, Li Shimin is no longer as worried as usual.
"Then you should be the Yang Lord, don't let others know, and find out who the other three stars are."
Li Shimin said.
Qin Chuan should feel at ease, and Li Shimin gave him a reassurance.
With Li Shimin's order, he can eat both ends.
It is legitimate to control the four stars of Chang'an. It would be best if you can completely control the four stars of Chang'an.
"It doesn't matter what the Tubo Kingdom wrote. You have to give the Tubo envoy a warning and let him know that the Tang Dynasty is not without its cowards."
Li Shimin said.
Qin Chuan nodded with a serious look on his face. Li Shimin's meaning was very clear. The show of force was not a simple military parade. It was not enough to just show it. It had to be proven by facts.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take care of it."
Qinchuan Road.
Li Shimin picked up the memorial and looked at it without saying anything.
After Qin Chuan left Ganlu Hall, he came to Honglu Temple to meet the Tibetan envoy.
"Your letter of credence is a little abrupt. His Majesty is furious. If it weren't for me, you would have been expelled from the country."
Qinchuan Road.
The expressions of the envoys changed. Their mission this time was mainly for testing. The content of the credential was simply irrelevant. They couldn't understand why the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was angry?
Could it be that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty already knew the King's intentions?
"The credentials are in no way disrespectful. Please tell His Majesty the Tang Dynasty that we just want to make good friends with the Tang Dynasty."
The messenger said hurriedly.
