"Khan's child was born to her and Duke Pingguo of the Tang Dynasty!"
As if carried by the autumn wind, this matter quickly spread throughout the entire Turkic royal court, and then began to follow the migration of cattle and sheep, and began to spread to other parts of the Turks.
Gu Xiaotang was a little embarrassed at first, but he soon returned to his former Turkic Khan self, and no longer avoided the relationship between the two in public.
Tang Ping is right, just make it public. Anyway, his son will follow Tang Ping to Chang'an.
He has already secured this position, and there are Tang Ping and Datang behind him. Even if other tribes have any thoughts in their hearts, they can only hold it back now.
Wang Qingluan had no objection to this. After all, it was Gu Xiaotang and Tang Ping who had children first, and men like Tang Ping only had two women in this era, so she was already very satisfied.
Not to mention that Gu Xiaotang still has to stay in this Turkic country thousands of miles away. Even if Tang Ping can come here often, it is still not as good as having him by his side all the time.
Moreover, she was also the Queen of East Vietnam, and she deeply admired Gu Xiaotang's decision to stay in Turks and manage this land for the sake of the lives of the Turkic people.
Therefore, the relationship between Wang Qingluan and Gu Xiaotang is extremely harmonious. In addition to taking their children to play on the grassland together, the two also exchange some experiences on running the country.
Wang Qingluan was born in a major. He received imperial education since childhood but did not have much practical experience. Gu Xiaotang is just the opposite. He doesn't have much theoretical knowledge, but has rich practical experience.
The two women really gained a lot of insights from communicating with each other.
As for Gu Wangping, he suddenly went from having only his mother to having a father, a baby mother and a beautiful little sister.
He was a little confused at first. No matter how precocious he was, he was just a kid of a few years old.
It took him two or three days to finally get used to it, and with Tang Tang, a clingy little guy, following him one after another, Gu Wangping immediately fell for him.
Originally, I was still a child, but for my sister, I held it in my hands for fear of falling, and held it in my mouth for fear of melting.
After staying for more than ten days, Tang Ping and the others finally decided to go back.
I have agreed with Gu Xiaotang that I will come over two or three times a week, or take Gu Xiaotang to live in Chang'an for a day or two.
Therefore, Gu Xiaotang will not miss his son too much.
But just when Tang Ping and the others were about to leave, they unexpectedly received a call from the convenience store.
"Tang Ping, haven't you come back from Turks yet?"
The call came directly from Li Shimin, and Tang Ping's heart skipped a beat.
If there was nothing important, Li Shimin would not call himself from the convenience store.
"Second uncle, what happened in the court?"
"Yes, something did happen, but it was a good thing." Li Shimin said with a little excitement in his tone.
"I received news from spies yesterday that there was a sudden heavy snowfall in Tubo. Many sheep froze to death. In addition, roads were blocked by ice and snow, and there was a shortage of food in Tubo. The nobles were opposed to killing sheep to provide food for the victims, so civil strife has broken out. ."
Tang Ping was also happy after hearing this. Ever since he took over the task of using economic means to destroy Tubo, Datang has been promoting the sheep-cannibalism plan behind Tubo's back.
Up to now, Tibet has almost only one industry, which is the production of wool.
The Tang Dynasty purchased wool from the Tubo area at a high price, and then sold a large number of luxury goods into Tubo, making the Tibetan dignitaries' lives extremely luxurious in the past few years.
It is no exaggeration to say that the lives of some Tibetan dignitaries were more luxurious than those of the Tang royal family.
In the hot summer on the Tubo Plateau, they can hold banquets using fresh East China Sea shrimps and crabs as ingredients.
We must know that in this era, even with the ice-making method and the great convenience of transportation brought by Tang Ping, it is still possible to transport fresh shrimps and crabs from the coast of the East China Sea to the plateau of Tubo. It is no exaggeration to say that the height is comparable to gold and silver.
It’s not that Tubo Zanpu Songtsan Gampo and Ludong Zan didn’t think of ways, but what the Tang Dynasty used was almost conspiracy.
By the time they realized something was wrong, the various tribal dignitaries in Tubo had long been accustomed to that kind of extravagant life.
It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Those powerful people are born with the feeling that they are superior to others...
No, many slaves in the tribe are not even human beings in their eyes. If you ask them to give up such a life, how could they be willing?
If Songtsen Gampo and Ludongtsen dared to forcefully issue a ban on raising sheep and selling wool, then it is very likely that they would issue the order on the first day and be replaced by other tribal dignitaries the next day.
What the two could do was issue various decrees to store more food and encourage refugees to reclaim wasteland.
It is a pity that no matter how good the government order is, it cannot be implemented if the people below follow it.
Many wastelands have just been reclaimed, and even before the seeds have been planted, they are occupied by powerful people from all over the country for various reasons, and then the grass seeds are scattered to become new pastures.
And how could the Tang Dynasty not know Tubo’s intention to purchase grain?
Datang merchants could sell anything else to Tubo, but the sale of grain was tightly controlled by the Tang government.
For a country like Tubo, it is useless to buy supplies such as grain if you buy too little, and it is unrealistic to charge a high price if you buy too much.
Therefore, few merchants in the Tang Dynasty were willing to take risks for things like food, which were not very profitable.
The money earned from selling a ton of rice noodles is not as much as a bottle of limited-edition perfume, and once the Tang government catches him, he will be in big trouble.
Half of the entire Tubo border is made up of high mountains, namely the Himalayas.
The other half is partly close to Datang and partly bordering Gaochang.
Gaochang was so poor that it depended on the Tang Dynasty. How could it be possible to sell grain to Tibet?
So even if Songtsen Gampo tried his best, the grain stored in the past few years would be a drop in the bucket.
Coupled with the heavy snowfall for days, Datang also keenly sensed that the opportunity was coming.
They decisively used the heavy snowfall as an excuse to cut off the food sent to Tibet.
The people in Tubo did not have much food reserves to begin with, but now that there has been heavy snowfall, they need more food.
They could only ask the Tibetan dignitaries to kill sheep to provide food for everyone.
But sheep are the biggest and only source of income for those powerful people. How could they cut off their own financial resources for the sake of the lives of these "untouchables"?
Under various accumulated conflicts, civil strife finally broke out in Tubo.
"So what does Second Uncle need me to do?" Tang Ping knew why Li Shimin was so excited, because in the entire Central Plains, only Tubo and Hou Junji were the two thorns in his heart.
And Tubo is the biggest one.
"I hope you can stay in Turks and help me make some noise!"
