The diplomacy of a major country is not about neighbors visiting each other, nor is it about strolling over with nothing to do, sitting at the door and chatting about domestic matters, then patting one's butt and leaving, borrowing a bottle of vinegar before leaving.
Envoys from great powers must have a purpose. Although Zan Xiruo didn't reveal anything at the banquet, Li Zhi and Li Qinzai had a small meeting and reasoned with each other, but they basically guessed Zan Xiruo's purpose. It's almost as close as ten.
After the offensive and defensive changes, the postures of the two countries were completely different.
At that time, Tubo was always on the offensive against the Tang Dynasty. Whether it was war or peace, it was Tubo who had the final say. Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo got married, and they claimed that it was for the sake of the good relations between the two countries for generations, but in fact It was the result of Li Shimin having to compromise.
Princess Wencheng's marriage could save the two countries from fighting and accumulate more national power for the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, Princess Wencheng brought a large number of monks and craftsmen with her to induce Tubo to build large-scale construction and temples, which consumed Tubo's national power.
Therefore, the significance of Princess Wencheng's marriage is actually very great. With one person's efforts, he has maintained the peace between the two countries for decades. This is the reason why Princess Wencheng has left a good name in history.
Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty has the power of victory in the Haidong Peninsula and has sharp firearms. It has formed an absolute crushing force on the surrounding neighboring countries.
In fact, Tubo was not the only neighboring country that was frightened by the changes in attack and defense.
Now it was Li Zhi's turn to take the initiative and decide whether to attack or defend.
Thinking about it made him excited, and Li Zhi simply couldn't wait.
"As soon as the king's army returns home in triumph, I will attack Tubo immediately. Although it is a barren plateau, the purpose of this battle is to completely eliminate the powerful enemies around the Tang Dynasty. From now on, I will have peace of mind." Li Zhi said happily.
Li Qinzai sighed and said: "Your Majesty... the king's soldiers fought bloody battles for the country, you can't treat them like cattle."
"Um?"
"It has been nearly two years since the Eastern Expedition, and the King's Division has become a tired division. Besides, in order to conquer the Haidong Peninsula, the Tang Dynasty has devoted all its efforts in raising food and military supplies in the past two years. Now, both the national treasury and the private sector have been exhausted. The Eastern Expedition is wasted, Your Majesty, we must let the people of the world breathe a sigh of relief."
"I believe that for at least five years, we should not use weapons easily. Especially against a powerful enemy like Tibet, we must be cautious in using troops."
Li Zhi's excitement immediately dissipated, and his mind finally cleared up. Hearing this, he sighed and said: "Jing Chu is right to remind you, my mind is getting hot again... Yes, the people of the world and the soldiers of the King should be allowed to Let's take a breath, otherwise I will really become a militaristic tyrant."
After pondering for a long time, Li Zhi said slowly: "Since we don't plan to use troops against Tubo within five years, if the praise comes, I will follow the trend and let the two countries temporarily stop fighting and live in peace with each other."
Then Li Zhi looked at Li Qinzai and said: "Jingchu knows what's going on and doesn't bother the two masters. I will send you to talk to Zan Xiruo. Jingchu should be clear about my thoughts and bottom line."
Li Qinzai smiled bitterly, chatting happily, and somehow found a job for himself...
…………
The monarch and his ministers chatted for a long time, and Li Qinzai didn't leave until almost dawn.
When I got home, I fell asleep and didn't wake up until it was almost dark.
After waking up, Li Qinzai found that it was broken and he could not move his neck at all. The slightest movement would cause excruciating pain.
The old father who got married and raised two children finally tasted the unforgivingness of time, and he actually got a stiff neck!
Anyone who has experienced a stiff neck knows that this problem is not life-threatening, but it is very painful.
Especially when someone calls your name from behind, you must not twist your neck, but turn your whole body around, like an AI retarded robot with a short circuit.
It's obviously so painful, but it looks so ridiculous, hurting both your body and your self-esteem.
Holding his chin with both hands, Li Qinzai endured the pain, gritted his teeth and tried to reset the cervical vertebrae by himself, twisting his neck like a special soldier touching the enemy's secret whistle...
"Ah—fuck you! Damn Fake!" Li Qinzai screamed in pain.
The screams alarmed the backyard. Cui Jie, Jinxiang and the maids all ran out, looking at Li Qinzai with a twisted expression in horror.
Cui Jie stepped forward anxiously: "What's wrong, husband?"
As he was about to support him, Li Qinzai decisively waved his hand to stop him: "Don't move, it's broken!"
"Ah? Where is it broken?" Cui Jie was frightened, and her eyes couldn't help but look him down three directions.
"Call someone!" Li Qinzai said decisively again.
Cui Jie was so anxious that she wanted to pull the monkey in the sky: "Who should I call?"
"...Technician No. 8!" Li Qinzai said solemnly.
Technician No. 8, who didn't deserve a name, suddenly appeared.
The girls in the backyard hurriedly helped Li Qinzai back to his room and lay down. Technician No. 8 stood helpless in the room with a look of confusion.
"What are you doing standing still? Come here and give me a bone massage to reset the cervical spine!" Li Qinzai shouted.
Technician No. 8 was shivering and stepped forward as if walking on thin ice, but he didn't dare to take action.
She knew the usual foot massage, and had only become familiar with it in the past few years, but to be honest, she didn't know how to do such a professional and comprehensive job of resetting the cervical spine.
She just wanted to make some tips. She also had a gambling father and a sick brother at home. What was wrong with her?
Looking at Li Qinzai, who seemed to be paralyzed, Technician No. 8 knelt down with a plop, crying so hard that his heart was broken, just like the helpless woman at a funeral, crying loudly, but not much emotion.
Cui Jie's unlucky cry made Cui Jie furious. The majesty of the housewife suddenly shook off her head, and she slapped her to the ground hard: "Where are you mourning? Get out!"
Technician No. 8 escaped quickly as if he had been granted amnesty.
"Husband..." Cui Jie and Jinxiang Lihua knelt in front of the bed in the rain.
Li Qinzai sighed, what's the difference between the two of you now and Technician No. 8?
"Find a professional to treat me. What's the use of just crying? I really want to send me away." Li Qinzai was furious.
There is only one professional in Li's backyard.
Not long after, Jin Dayan hurried over and saw Li Qinzai on the bed, unable to move his neck. Jin Dayan tried her best to press her lips together, not daring to smile, because she found that the expressions of the couple were a little frustrated.
"Excuse me, Doctor Jin." Cui Jie bowed politely.
Jin Dayan shook her head: "Madam Mo Duoli, Duke Li just has a stiff neck. It's nothing serious. He can be cured with a little treatment."
Cui Jie winked at Jinxiang, and the two women wisely exited the room.
When only Li Qinzai and Jin Dayan were left in the room, Jin Dayan's face turned red again for some reason.
Li Qinzai smiled at her with difficulty, feeling sad in his heart.
So what if you are a high official? Even if there is a slight problem, this old life is still in the hands of the doctor.
Therefore, humans have been fighting for thousands of years, regardless of class, rich or poor, but in the end, doctors are still at the top of the food chain.
"Miracle Doctor Jin, I leave my little life to you, you have to take pity on me..." Li Qinzai looked at her with flattering eyes and said.
Jin Dayan pursed her lips and said coldly: "Jun Gong Li, one day you will fall into my hands!"
