Li Ke turned around and looked Pei Xingjian up and down, and then asked, "When did Changle give you the order?"
"When we left, His Highness asked me to protect you. After I came to Xizhou, when His Highness sent you a letter, he also sent me a letter, asking me to take good care of your food. If you have a cold or other illness, When you arrive, you must report to His Highness Changle as soon as possible." Pei Xingjian said.
Li Ke: "..."
He touched his chin, looked at Pei Xingjian, and walked around him.
Pei Xingjian's scalp was numb when Li Ke looked at him, and he didn't know what His Highness was looking at. Was His Highness angry? Because I reported to His Highness Changle in private about His Highness's condition?
"What do you think of the mathematics and military training manuals I taught you? And the management books I gave you?" Li Ke asked.
"I haven't finished reading yet..." Pei Xingjian was stunned for a moment, but he still said with some anxiety. These books are difficult. Although he, Pei Xingjian, is considered talented, these books contain great wisdom and need to be learned slowly. of.
"You go and train with the standing battalion under General Su who is conducting queue training. Look, your body is too weak and not as strong as mine. Also, remember to read a book at night. Before we return to Chang'an, read the book and give it to me by the way. Let me write some of your own experiences." Li Ke said with a calm face.
It's over, it's over, His Highness is indeed angry because I reported His Highness's condition to His Highness Changle in private. I have long heard that His Highness treats these sisters very well, so he must not want these sisters to worry.
"Yes!" Even though he smiled bitterly in his heart, Pei Xingjian could only bend down and salute.
"Well, let's go now." Li Ke said calmly.
"Yes!" Pei Xingjian turned around with a grimace and ran towards the direction where the horses were parked not far away. The training in the military camp was very hard! He has seen it before!
"Third brother, why did you suddenly punish General Pei?" Li Xin was a little confused.
"It's nothing. He's too thin. Let's make him stronger. Otherwise, how can he protect me." Li Ke waved his hand lightly.
Li Yan and Yang Anning both snickered, and naturally no one gave Li Xin an explanation.
"Oh!" Li Xin didn't know why, but she didn't ask anymore.
…
Two thousand miles away, Womatang.
When he learned that the envoys of His Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty had arrived, Songtsen Gampo was very angry! He had already received relevant information. Some nobles north of the Kunlun Mountains had escaped, but not many, but they still reported enough news to him, saying that they had been attacked by Tuyuhun people.
Where can I find Tuyuhun now? Aren’t they all from the Tang Dynasty?
But before Songtsen Gampo could make a decision, he learned that the envoys of His Highness King Qin, the Protector of the Xizhou Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, had arrived.
Songtsen Gampo took a deep breath and immediately asked someone to invite him in.
In any case, the Tang Dynasty was much more powerful than Tubo! And the Tang Dynasty had just destroyed Tuyuhun! If he had any objections here, I believe the Tang Dynasty would not mind destroying Tubo directly! Even though Songtsen Gampo had tried to intimidate and even fought with the Tang Dynasty border guards before, and wanted to marry the Tang princess, he still felt guilty.
Of course, Songtsen Gampo did admire the culture of the Central Plains. He knew well about the backwardness of Tubo and wanted to gain the support of the Tang Dynasty by marrying a princess of the Tang Dynasty and win time for Tubo to develop. The more he understood the Tang Dynasty, the better I know more and more how powerful the Tang Dynasty is!
But that doesn't make him angry! Because it was Songtsen Gampo who always threatened Datang! When can the Tang Dynasty turn against Tibet?
However, when the envoy entered the hall, Songtsen Gampo immediately stood up and greeted him.
"Tubo Zampo Songtsan Gampo has met the envoy of His Highness the King of Qin." Songtsen Gampo saluted the other party.
The two envoys this time were led by Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng did not return the greeting at all, but showed no expression at all, and then said in a cold voice: "I have received an order from the King of Qin to ask Songtsen Gampo, Tubo's Zanpu, whether Tubo intends to fight with Tibetans." I am the enemy of the Tang Dynasty! Otherwise, why did you harbor the Tuyuhun rebel Murong Shun and let him enter your Tubo territory?! Even for this reason, you did not hesitate to evacuate all the herdsmen north of the Kunlun Mountains?"
Songtsen Gampo: “???”
He was completely confused. Damn it, didn’t you, the Tang Dynasty, kill the herdsmen north of the Kunlun Mountains? Didn’t Murong Shun surrender to the Tang Dynasty?
"I wonder what the envoy is called?" Songtsen Gampo asked.
"Wang Zheng, Yang Cheng." The two people said the two names expressionlessly.
"Envoy Wang, I want to know, hasn't Murong Shun already surrendered to the Tang Dynasty? Why is he a Tuyuhun rebel?" Songtsen Gampo asked tentatively.
"You ask me?" Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows.
Damn it...Songtsen Gampo was almost mad to death. If I don't ask you, who should I ask? Isn't that what you said? !
"First, the Tang Dynasty never said that Murong Shun had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. I don't know where your news came from, Zanpu! Second, Tuyuhun robbed our border with the Tang Dynasty, so our Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tian Khan Li Shimin Order to completely destroy all invading enemies! Pay attention to everything!"
"Thirdly, as to why Murong Shun entered Tubo territory, and Tubo not only did not mobilize troops to encircle and suppress it, but has not even reported it to the Tang Dynasty so far, do you also have the intention to collude with Tuyuhun? His Highness the King of Qin said: Those who offend the power of the Tang Dynasty, They will be killed! Zan Pu, don’t say you didn’t predict what you said!” Wang Zheng said coldly.
Wang Zheng's cold tone made Songtsan Gampo's anger fade away like a tide. After he calmed down, the hairs on his back stood up. Songtsan Gampo is not old, he is only 18 years old this year, but despite his name The name is Zampu, but he is actually the founder of the Tubo Dynasty!
Although Songtsen Gampo was only 18 years old, he succeeded to the throne at the age of twelve. After he succeeded to the throne, he launched a counter-rebellion in Tubo. After the suppression of the rebellion, in order to prevent these tribes from rebelling, he also carried out large-scale migration and moved these tribes. The tribes migrated to what is now the central plain.
It seems that Tubo is now extremely stable, but in fact it has only been a year since Tubo suppressed the rebellion. If the Tang Dynasty intervenes at this time, the nobles of these tribes may rebel at any time! He Tubo was not so calm.
"So that the envoy will know that this matter is not my Tubo fault. In fact, I am also a victim." At this time, a middle-aged man next to him stood up and said quickly, this person is none other than Songtsen Qian Boo's uncle Lun Cole.
"Yes, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty clearly knows that Tubo has always regarded itself as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. How dare we protect the leader of the Tuyuhun rebellion who is against the Tang Dynasty." Another middle-aged man also said.
Wang Zheng glanced at him. The Prime Minister of Tubo was Shang Xiang. These two were Songtsen Gampo's right-hand men. They were the two who supported Songtsen Gampo to ascend to power, and then Tubo became what it is today.
Wang Zheng had already seen the sketches and portraits of these people through his trading firm, and they all looked very similar to them, so he naturally recognized them at a glance.
"Are you Lun Ke and Shang Xiang?" Wang Zheng was not polite at all and called them by their first names.
Both Lun Keer and Shang Xiang were shocked. They had never seen the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, and they had never seen these people, but the envoys of the Tang Dynasty knew about them? Moreover, this person was not an envoy sent by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but only by His Majesty the King of Qin.
