Chen Xuanzang couldn't help but laugh when he heard Songtsen Gampo's words. Such ridicule didn't matter to him at all. He had been a monk for more than ten years, and if nothing else, his ability to control emotions was definitely top-notch.
He didn't care about this kind of thing at all. Chen Xuanzang smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter whether you are firm or not. Maybe I will also find a beautiful girl from Chang'an City. In other words, when I passed by the daughter country in the Western Regions, it was based on the Bodhisattva It’s a pretty famous female country, and their king once took a liking to me.”
"It's just that I didn't agree at that time. Thinking about it now, I was indeed moved at that time, although I still refused in the end. Now I heard that the other party is already in Chang'an City, and his life is better than before. When I go back this time, I I want to talk to the other party."
"Maybe I can renew our relationship with him."
Songtsen Gampo was a little speechless, but you were honest, but what Chen Xuanzang said just now was indeed very difficult for him, that is, after all your efforts, you felt that nothing was left in the end, and in the end you didn't even enjoy it.
This is very uncomfortable.
When he was in Tubo, he didn't have many ideas, because he didn't have a choice at that time. The conditions in Tubo were just like that, and he hadn't seen anything more.
But in fact, after coming to Tianzhu, he actually has access to more things than Tubo. Not to mention anything else, there are more spices here than in Tubo, and the food they eat is much better than that in Tubo.
But it is still incomparable to the Tang Dynasty. What Chen Xuanzang said is right. What is the purpose of human life?
The desire for words seems very ordinary, the most common thing, but for anyone, it is something that cannot be ignored.
Because it is necessary for the human body. Before you eat good food, you don’t feel anything, just like those serfs. Filling your stomach is already a very happy thing.
But after eating something good, your desires will begin to swell.
This includes the clothes on your body.
After wearing better things, you want more perfect ones. There are only so many things that are closely related to a person, but what can he enjoy in Tianzhu?
The point is that this kind of enjoyment may last for a few years, or even a few years. When Datang comes over, can he continue?
Can Tubo really persevere?
When gaps begin to appear in a person's heart, when a person's persistence begins to waver, all he lacks is a reason and opportunity to convince himself.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen, in fact, many things are just because we have not changed our minds. If you regard Datang as your enemy, you will find everything very difficult."
"But if you regard Datang as your own, you can each think about it, how many benefits do you have? Then compare the benefits with the difficulties you encounter, I think it will be easy to figure out which choice to make. "
"Actually, Your Majesty, you know very well in your heart that if the Tang Dynasty dares to sell you so many armors and weapons, then it has the means to counteract these armors and weapons."
"And how important these armors and weapons were for Tubo in facing Tianzhu, Your Majesty also knows very well. And now, the Tang Dynasty has ten times and a hundred times the weapons and armor of Tubo."
"Even more powerful than Tubo's armor."
"Then the outcome of the war will probably be faster. The point is, it seems to be thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, but in fact it is only thousands of miles away from Chang'an. Piao State has long been a state of the Tang Dynasty."
"And ports such as Yuzhang Port can allow Datang's materials to be transported here at an extremely fast speed, so logistical supplies are not a problem."
"So as the unprecedented founding king of Tubo, His Majesty should have thought more thoroughly and clearly than me."
"I, Chen Xuanzang, came today on behalf of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty. I am simply conveying this will. Having said this, I will take my leave first. Your Majesty can think about it more." Chen Xuanzang's tone also became sincere and no longer aggressive.
After speaking, he took the initiative to salute and then left directly.
Songtsen Gampo did not speak or stop him, because all Chen Xuanzang's words struck his lungs.
Looking at Chen Xuanzang's leaving figure, Songtsan Gampo felt somewhat bitter in his heart. Just like what the other party said, as a monarch who unified Tubo, his idea back then was to make Tubo stronger. In the process, he naturally wanted to learn of.
To study, he must learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty, so he knows the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, and Han culture very well.
It was precisely because of his understanding that Songtsen Gampo understood very well that what the other party said was correct, and it was impossible for Tubo to compare with the Tang Dynasty.
Even the original Tubo was impossible, because the foundation of a strong country is to have enough room for development.
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is not only a natural barrier for Tubo to survive and hinder foreign enemies, but also a natural barrier for Tubo to develop! On the plateau, Tibet had no chance of developing into a powerful country.
This is also the reason why whenever the Tubo people dared to leave the plateau to plunder, they would be beaten back directly by the Tang Dynasty. Although the current Tubo seems to have left the land that restricted them, it has also lost its once largest base.
Although those serfs didn't know why they rebelled, Songtsen Gampo had figured it out in the past two years. The Tang Dynasty must have played a role in this, and it was definitely instigated by the Tang Dynasty people.
From the perspective of those serfs, Songtsen Gampo did not believe that they could organize so many people and soldiers in such a short period of time and resist throughout the territory at the same time.
And all this cannot be done on a temporary basis. If they can really hide it so well, how could Songtsan Gampo unify the entire Tibet so quickly?
How many years did it take before he unified Tibet?
He knew the Tibetan serfs very well, and he knew without even a second thought that it must be the Tang Dynasty people who were behind this.
And those serfs have been slaves for generations, and the Tang Dynasty succeeded with almost no resistance. Now that the majority of the Tubo people are Tianzhu people, they can resist the Tang Dynasty?
Songtsen Gampo himself thought this was a joke.
Although there were not many people in this court where court meetings were usually held, there was silence for a long time.
Until Songtsan Gampo came back to his senses and asked: "Two prime ministers, how reasonable do you think what he said makes sense?"
Shang Xiang and Lun Keer looked at each other. Songtsan Gampo's question actually made it very difficult for them to make a choice, because to put it mildly, Songtsan Gampo might be angry and say that they had no intention of resisting. .
To put it bluntly, Songtsen Gampo is not a fool. He understands the truth and thinks that they are just saying this deliberately to cater to him, and that is not what they think in their hearts.
