Tang Dynasty: The Holy Prince, the Dragon that Reigns Over the World

On the second day, Li Chengqian woke up slowly from the big tent, rubbing his head which was swollen and painful after a hangover. Li Ling'er in the tent saw Li Chengqian waking up and immediately brought him a bowl of hangover tea. Li Chengqian took it and drank it down. Instantly, he felt that his headache was much relieved. Li Chengqian looked outside the tent and asked.

"Ling'er, what time is it?"

"My Royal Highness, it is already one quarter past the hour of Si (09:30). Would you like to have breakfast or lunch?" Li Linger said with a smile.

"I'll just pretend that I didn't hear you making fun of me for being drunk and unable to get up." Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said.

"By the way, why is the system so quiet recently? It hasn't issued any tasks for a long time." Li Chengqian said.

"My Lord, you finally remembered that you still have a system. The system has released a new mainline mission: destroy Tubo. The time is uncertain, and it will be based on the complete incorporation of Tubo into the Tang Dynasty. If the mission is completed, the host will be rewarded with 5000 million system coins. If the mission fails, the foreign territories currently occupied by the host will all rebel and become independent within 1-2 years.

As the host successively destroyed the Eastern and Western Turks, Gaochang, Kucha, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Wa, and surrendered the Western Regions and Silla, with a defeat rate of less than 20% (current win rate 100%), he obtained the second level of commander achievement: God of War, and was rewarded with 5000 million system coins.

At the same time, the host expanded the territory and reformed the government. Under the leadership of the host, the territory of the Tang Dynasty doubled, the domestic public support rate and trust rate exceeded 90%, and the foreign prestige and reputation exceeded 50%. Under the leadership of the host, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty stood out among the heroes. The host obtained the achievement: a great leader, and was rewarded with 5000 million system coins. After the host ascended the throne and became emperor, he can receive this reward.

I suggest that after my husband ascends the throne, he should immediately compile a set of great canons, open shipping routes, and vigorously develop the Silk Road, so that his reputation will spread far and wide. In this way, my husband can achieve the achievement of a great sage king. "

"In my original time and space, our nation once stood proudly above the world. Our national strength and wealth made the world tremble. The Celestial Empire was our indelible glory. The four characters of the Chinese nation once represented the strongest nation on earth. Our nation was once the most powerful, shining, and glorious nation in the world.

However, the rulers of modern times, especially those with long braids, were complacent, ignorant and arrogant, which plunged our nation into misery for a time.

This shame must never happen again in this time and space. As long as I am here, I will make the Chinese nation stand at the top of the world forever, and all nations in the world must humbly crawl at the feet of the Chinese nation. We are the rulers of the world.

Anyone who does not submit to the Tang Dynasty will be killed. Anyone who harbors ill will towards the Tang Dynasty will be killed. Anyone who offends the Tang Dynasty’s honor will be killed.”

Li Chengqian looked into the distance, his eyes deep as he spoke. After three kills, a kingly aura emerged, which was intimidating. Li Linger looked at Li Chengqian in front of her, with deep love in her eyes, and couldn't help but bow and salute.

"I am willing to follow my husband and conquer the world, even if I die, I will have no regrets."

"You just said that opening up shipping routes means the Great Navigation? Great, this is an easy job. I don't need to ascend the throne. When I return, I will order the Royal Commerce Bureau to organize ocean-going fleets and encourage the public to organize ocean-going fleets.

The sea is a huge treasure house, and there are so many fat sheep waiting for us to slaughter. What are we waiting for? I will issue an order when I return to Beijing, asking all the countries we visit to pay tribute and start trade. If they don't cooperate, I will rob them." Li Chengqian's eyes sparkled and his mouth was watering.

"Ah, you're still a bitch." Li Ling'er sighed, holding her head.

At this time, Chang Sun Chong, dressed in the uniform of a second-rank official, walked in. When he saw Li Chengqian, his eyes lit up and he laughed foolishly. Chang Sun Chong immediately covered his purse and asked Li Linger in a low voice with a vigilant look on his face.

"This guy just woke up this morning. Who is he trying to cheat out of money?"

"Mr. Changsun is so wise. Just from the expression on his face, he can tell that he is going to cheat people out of their money?" Li Linger said with admiration.

"Hehe, of course. This guy has had this expression whenever he wanted to cheat people out of money since he was a child. My father, my uncle, and our childhood friends have all been cheated by him many times. We are all very familiar with this expression. So, who does this guy want to cheat as soon as he wakes up?" Chang Sun Chong said proudly.

"This time I'm not going to cheat, I'm going to rob openly." Li Linger said casually.

"Damn, Mingqiang? This guy has upgraded. Who is he going to rob? Is it easy to rob? Is there a lot of money?" Chang Sun Chong looked eager to try.

"You two are really relatives. You appear gentle and polite on the surface, but you are both bandits at heart. My husband is planning to rob overseas countries." Li Linger said with a look of disgust.

"It's not a good idea to just rob. Confucius said: To punish without teaching is called cruelty. To just rob without talking to someone properly is not in accordance with etiquette. The Book of Rites says: A man is safe if he is polite, but in danger if he is impolite. The Book of Rites also says: A gentleman does not misstep in front of others, does not lose face in front of others, and does not lose his words in front of others." Chang Sun Chong began to shake his head and recited the book by himself.

Li Chengqian, who was fantasizing, heard the voice of endorsement, and his good mood of fantasizing about money and land was instantly ruined. Li Chengqian immediately looked around with an unhappy face to find the source of his bad mood. When he saw Chang Sun Chong endorsed with great interest, Li Chengqian spoke with dissatisfaction.

"Cousin, you are dressed like a frivolous person so early in the morning, and you are reciting in my tent with a lustful look on your face. What do you want to do?"

"That's insulting, never mind, since you are ignorant, I'll forgive you.

Did Dalang hear the words of the sages and immediately feel how sinister his heart was, and a sense of guilt arose spontaneously? "Chang Sun Chong smiled and winked.

"If you don't explain your intentions, I will let you experience firsthand how sinister my heart is. It is so sinister that if you don't hand over all the money you have, you will never be able to leave my tent safely. As for the words of the sages, haha, I am too far behind them and I am not familiar with them. This prince cannot understand them.

"Cousin, do you choose to pay the money or get beaten?" Li Chengqian said with a wicked smile.

"I choose to state my purpose. My Royal Highness the Crown Prince, have you forgotten that we are going to host a banquet for the three Tibetan tribes at noon today? Everyone is at the door, Zhici is receiving them, you should at least get ready." Chang Sun Chong said helplessly.

"Uh! You came so early, is it necessary to rush for a meal? Oh, are they paying for it themselves? Did they bring gifts? Never mind, since they are quite obedient, let them have a free meal. But don't prepare too much, or it will be a waste if they can't finish it." Li Chengqian complained while getting dressed with the help of Li Ling'er. Chang Sun Chong stood beside him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Li Chengqian changed his clothes and hosted a banquet for the three tribes. During the banquet, the four parties had a pleasant conversation and reached a high degree of consensus on the specific implementation plan for the three divisions of Tubo. It was agreed that the three Tubo tribes would formally sign a peace agreement under the presidency of Li Chengqian the day after tomorrow.

On the tenth day of the third month of the seventeenth year of the Zhenguan reign of the Tang Dynasty, the three Tibetan tribes signed a peace agreement under the auspices of Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. However, in the original history, Li Chengqian was demoted to a commoner because of his failed attempt to force the emperor to abdicate. However, in this time and space, Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince is unshakable.

Li Chengqian looked at the cheering Tang army and the people of Tubo in front of him, and was filled with emotion. History was finally changed because of this useless science and engineering man. Under his plan, Tubo, which had been fighting with the Tang Dynasty, was completely divided into three parts and was no longer able to fight against the Tang Dynasty.

What Li Chengqian did not expect was that not long after he ascended the throne, Tubo rebelled, causing considerable trouble to the Tang Dynasty. He personally led the army to pacify Tubo.

After completing the signing of the peace agreement among the three Tibetan tribes, Li Chengqian set out for Beijing on the third day. He was accompanied by Gesang Wangmo, the Tibetan princess and sister of Songtsen Gampo, who was to be married in November of the 17th year of Zhenguan, as well as nearly a hundred carts of dowry and money paid by Tibet for the purchase of supplies.

Before leaving, Li Chengqian called Zhuge Fu, Li Dejian and Guo Xiaoke and spoke to them earnestly.

"The division of Tubo into three parts is just the beginning. The Tang Dynasty will not stop its strategy against Tubo. Therefore, I appoint Zhici as the governor of Anxi, the commander-in-chief of the Anxi Army, and the general in charge of the military and political power of Xizhou and Zangzhou (a new state established by Tubo to give one-third of the territory to the Tang Dynasty). He can go to war on behalf of the monarch, and has the power to appoint and dismiss officials of the fourth rank and below, and to execute them first and report later.

Li Dejian was appointed as the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedushi and deputy governor of Anxi Army, commanding Feilong Army and Feidiao Army to assist Zhuge Fu. Due to its special nature, Shenji Army needed to return to Chang'an for repair and replenishment.

Guo Xiaoke was appointed as the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu, deputy commander-in-chief of the Anxi Army, and protector of the Anxi Protectorate, commanding the Anxi Protectorate Army to assist Zhuge Fu.

When the three disagreed, Zhuge Fu's order prevailed.

General Zhici, General Dejian, and General Guo, the western part of the Tang Dynasty is now in your hands. "

"We are willing to die for the Tang Dynasty." The three of them clasped their fists and saluted, saying loudly.

Li Chengqian also promised that after returning to Beijing, he would immediately select talented people to serve as the chief officials of Xizhou and Zangzhou to assist Zhuge Fu in governing Tubo.

Before Li Chengqian got on the car, Songtsen Gampo walked up to Li Chengqian and said with a wicked smile.

"The prince is returning, and I have prepared some small gifts for you. You will see the gifts after I set off." After saying this, Songtsen Gampo turned and left. Li Chengqian got into the car with a puzzled look on his face and set off.

After the imperial carriage entered Xizhou, it rested for a day. A team of carriages and horses came to the imperial carriage, claiming that it was a gift from Songtsen Gampo, the king of Tubo, to the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Li Chengqian ordered people to let them enter the post station, and when he saw the three large carriages in front of him, he suddenly felt uneasy.

When Li Chengqian was observing the cart carefully, the thoughtful Chang Sun Chong suddenly spoke.

"Come here, quickly capture the Tibetan envoys. Blood is flowing out of the large box in the car." The surrounding guards immediately captured more than a dozen Tibetan envoys.

Li Chengqian nodded to Deng Xiaohu, who stepped forward and opened the lid of the box. When Deng Xiaohu saw the items in the box, his eyes widened with anger, and he grabbed the long sword of the guard beside him and shouted.

"Damn it, you damn Tibetan dog, I'm going to kill you." After saying that, he slashed at the Tibetan envoy beside him with his knife, instantly splitting the man in half.

"Ah Hu, you are not allowed to use swords and guns in front of the master." Deng Yinlong was shocked to see Deng Xiaohu was like a madman, hacking and killing the Tibetan envoys everywhere, and hurried forward to grab Deng Xiaohu. Deng Xiaohu roared.

"Brother, don't stop me. Let me kill these beasts. Inside the car are our Jinyiwei brothers and sisters, as well as Erhei and his old soldiers. After I kill these beasts, if the master wants to beat or punish me, I will accept it myself."

"What?" Li Chengqian and Chang Sunchong were shocked when they heard this and rushed forward to check. They saw three large cars filled with corpses. Each corpse had been tortured before death, but everyone's face was full of expressions of fearlessness.

"They were all spies sent by the Wei Nei to the Tubo royal city. Dalang, they were all tortured to death, these beasts." Chang Sun Chong said with bloodshot eyes and gritted teeth.

"My Lord, my brothers and sisters died tragically. Please let me kill these beasts. My Lord, the Anbu asks for permission to enter the Tubo royal city to assassinate Songtsen Gampo and avenge the tragic death of our brothers and sisters." Anbu leader Li Guangwei knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. The Anbu members behind him also knelt down and cried bitterly for permission.

"My lord, this is a great shame for our Jinyiwei. I request your permission to assassinate Songtsen Gampo and the traitor Mo Wen." Chang Sun Chong and his accompanying Jinyiwei also knelt down and cried to beg for permission.

Li Chengqian's face was calm at this time, but his hands were clenched tightly, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. Li Chengqian did not respond, but looked at the leader of the Tibetan envoys and said.

"You are from the Tibetan Eunuchs' Camp, right? Do you know the consequences of your coming?"

"Hehe, if you dare to come, you are not afraid of death." The leader of the Tibetan envoys sneered.

"My sworn brother should have something for you to tell me." Li Chengqian said calmly.

"Hmph, my Zamp said that the dolls that you left in the royal city were specially frozen by me to keep them fresh. I will return them all today. I hope you won't play such a cheap game again." said the leader of the Tibetan envoys.

"Why did you massacre my subordinates?" Li Chengqian asked.
