Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

Li Tai nodded and said: "That's right, I also heard that Dona had a big fight with Songtsan Gambo in the palace yesterday. Or, I'll send him away."

Chen Chu pondered for a while, shook his head, and said, "No, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this matter. As the right prime minister of Tubo, Dona should visit me during the day, not in the middle of the night, but now it is in the middle of the night. When they arrive, things will get interesting, go and invite them in."

"it is good!"

Li Tai turned around and went out.

Not long after, Li Tai brought a dozen people to the backyard.

The temperature in Tubo is low.

So a bonfire was lit in the backyard.

The bonfire was burning, making the sound of beeping and dialing.

A skinny old man stepped forward and greeted Chen Chu in blunt Central Plains dialect with a smile: "I'm waiting, I took the liberty to come here and disturb Pingxihou."

Chen Chu said enthusiastically: "What's the matter with Prime Minister Dona, I am flattered that you came to the door in person, but I have never seen all the people behind you, please introduce them to Prime Minister Dona."

Dona immediately introduced everyone to Chen Chu.

Sure enough, they were all prominent figures in Tubo.

As long as Chen Chu is willing, let the knife and ax hand kill all the people in front of him, then Tubo will change.

Everyone took their seats.

After tasting Chen Chu's good tea, Dona couldn't bear it anymore, and asked, "Ping Xihou, to be honest, we, I came here just to ask you, how can you buy our Tibetans?" cotton."

Everyone stared at Chen Chu expectantly.

Chen Chu put down the teacup in his hand, shook his head, and said helplessly: "I think you all know that this time I came to Luoxi City to buy your cotton in person. I am Pingxihou of Datang, but you are familiar with Datang , you should also know that Pingxihou only has ten titles, and I don't have any official positions, so I am still a businessman in essence, and the goal of a businessman is to make money together. However, you Tubo don’t pay attention to it. You suddenly attacked Jinshui Pass and beat it down, massacred thousands of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty, causing the two countries to go to war... This is not a trivial matter. At this time, my Tang Dynasty , have unanimously decided to bring down Tubo, if I really buy your cotton, how will I deal with myself after I go back?"

Dona and the others nodded: "We are all aware of Pingxihou's difficulties, but this matter was done by Zanpu alone, and the one who sent troops to attack Jinshui Pass was also a member of the Zanpu tribe, who has nothing to do with us. Close."

"But you are the courtiers of Tubo after all..."

Negotiations have froze here.

All the words Dona and the others had prepared could not be uttered.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and even muttered quietly.

After a long time, Dona looked at Chen Chu and asked sincerely, "Ping Xihou is the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty. I don't know if you know how the Emperor Tang plans to deal with Tubo this time?"

Before Chen Chu could speak, Li Tai slapped the table next to him and said, "Naturally, it is natural to mobilize a large army to put down Tubo in one fell swoop, don't you know? Now the entire army of Tang Dynasty is attacking Shan Assembled in the prefectures, Datang is going to use 50 troops to directly attack Tubo from three sides, and I don’t know how long you can resist it.”

50 troops?

Dona and the others changed their expressions drastically.

Once the Tang army attacked and captured Tubo, they would all become prisoners.

At that time, let alone cotton, it would be good to save your life.

For a moment, Dona and the others were dumbfounded.

Tubo, it must be over!

Damn Zamp!

Everyone was cursing in their hearts.

Dona looked at Chen Chu helplessly, and asked, "I don't know what good idea Marquis Pingxi has, please let me know. If we can keep Tubo, I will swear to repay Marquis Pingxi to the death. These are some of my assets, and I am willing to give them to you." Marquis Pingxi."

Chen Chu took it and looked at it.

They are all the land of Tubo and the like.

Added up, the value is not small.

At least worth a million guan.

This is a big deal.

Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of traitors.

Dona and the others did not wait for the two countries to go to war, but they took the lead in bribing Chen Chu to seek a way out.

But they also know that only by keeping Tubo can they keep their property.

When Tubo is gone, they are also gone.

Chen Chu put down the account book, touched his chin, pretended to be embarrassed and said: "This matter... well, this matter is very embarrassing... But I have an idea, maybe I can keep Tubo."

"Please enlighten me!"

The eyes of Dona and his group suddenly lit up.

Chen Chu drew a circle on the table with his fingers, and said, "Actually, I don't want the two countries to go to war, because if this happens, the business of our Western Datang Company in Shanzhou and even the entire Western Region will be affected. So, during this period of time, I have been thinking about whether there is any way. Don’t say it, there is really, that is, let Tubo attach to the Tang Dynasty, and go a step further, and from then on, belong to the Tang Dynasty.”

Into Datang?

Dona and the others were surprised.

Dona suddenly said, "Impossible, Zamp won't agree."

Chen Chu smiled and said: "Does he have a choice now? There are only two ways for Tubo to surrender, or to be destroyed... Now, I just provide you with the third way, that is, one dynasty, two systems, and Tubo belongs to the Dalai Lama." In the Tang Dynasty, Songtsan Gampo continued to do Zanpu, and the big and small affairs of Tubo were left to you to take care of. All tribes had a leader. Every three years, they elected a prime minister of Tubo, and the prime minister was responsible to the Tang Dynasty. , Tubo can no longer have an army, and the army of the Tang Dynasty will be stationed in Tubo... From then on, although Songtsan Gampo is Tubo Zanpu, he cannot control the situation in Tubo. In Tubo, the real final say is actually everyone here ah……"

Chen Chu explained in detail the details of the two systems in one dynasty.

This kind of thing, in this era, is simply unprecedented.

But in later generations, it is very common.

For a moment, Dona and the others were stunned.

There is still such an operation.

According to this statement, apart from stationing troops in Tubo, Datang basically did not interfere in Tubo's affairs.

The most unlucky one is Songtsan Gampo, from now on, he can only become a puppet.

But what does it have to do with us?

Dona and others thought.

A group of people murmured and discussed in low voices. Finally, Dona stood up and asked, "Ping Xihou, is everything you said true?"

Chen Chu pointed to Li Tai who was next to him, and said with a smile: "You don't believe that I'm fine, but this is the King of Qi in the Tang Dynasty. With him sitting in some cities, what do you have to worry about?"

King Qi?

Dona and the others gave Li Tai a meaningful look, then took their leave and left.

……

……

Two days later.

Makbula and Mendo left Luoxi City.

Subsequently, civil unrest broke out in the palace.

On that day, the entire city was under martial law. However, before the army could control the situation, many rebellious troops appeared everywhere in the city. A Tubo garrison was dispersed, and the majestic Tubo capital locked some cities, and suddenly lost control.

But the defenders stationed around did not wait for the order from the palace, and did not dare to act rashly.

The people in Luoxi City didn't know what happened, they only knew that the palace was on fire.

Everyone thought that something had happened to Tsampo Songtsan Gampo.

For several days, there was no news of Songtsan Gampo.

However, three days later, Songtsen Gampo suddenly appeared.

Standing on the tall tower of the royal palace, he announced in public that Tubo belonged to the Tang Dynasty, and made the entire Tubo army surrender to the Tang Dynasty unconditionally.

Songtsan Gampo originally thought that when the news came out, all the people in Tubo would cry together. After all, there is no difference between the two regimes and the subjugation of the country.But he was wrong. When he announced the news, there was joy in Tubo.

Songtsan Gampo was so angry that he walked away.

The king of subjugation is not a crime of war, but the people are hopeless.

Songtsan Gampo sent someone to send the letter of credence to His Majesty Li Er, agreeing to Chen Chu's proposal of "one dynasty, two systems". .

In a few days, Datang replied, agreeing to one dynasty, two systems. His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and made Tubo the fief of Pingxihou Chen Chu.

at the same time.

Songtsan Gampo and Chen Chu got drunk alone in a small wine shop on the street of Luoxie City.

Songtsan Gampo stared at Chen Chu with red eyes, and said, "Do you know why Ben Zanpu asked for that fiefdom? Because Prime Minister Zuo told Ben Zanpu that you are a good person."

nice guy?

bad guy?

Chen Chu looked at Songtsan Gampo who was drunk and fell headlong on the table, shook his head, and said, "The most important thing to be a human being is to be happy. As for the others, go to the fuck..."

Chapter 419. The Epilogue

The matter of the Western Regions.

Tubo surrendered, and all the countries in the Western Regions, who had flirted with Tubo in the past, also surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

On the way back to Chang'an, Li Er invited Chen Chu and himself to ride in a carriage, envious of others.

On the carriage, Li Er stroked his beard and said with emotion: "Perhaps, this is the last time I come to Shanzhou in my life. I have come to the Western Regions, I am old, and useless. It will take more than a month from Chang'an to Shanzhou." After a long journey, the body can't take it anymore."

Seeing this, Chen Chu smiled and said, "Father, you don't have to go through such troubles in the future, maybe you can reach Shanzhou from Chang'an in one day."

Li Er shook his head: "Impossible, impossible so fast."

Chen Chu showed a confident smile: "Come here, show Father my big baby."

Several subordinates, humming and humming, carried a heavy object up.

It was a big iron box full of industrial atmosphere.

Chen Chu did it himself and added coal to it. After a while, a puff of steam came out, and an iron wheel next to it started to rotate slowly, faster and faster...

Li Er was dumbfounded.

Chen Chu introduced: "Father, this thing is called a steam engine. It will replace horse-drawn carts and ox carts in the future. With it, it will only take one day to come to Shanzhou..."
