Chapter 526: When the water is clear, there will be no fish
"Your Majesty, this covenant is something that I, Tubo, cannot ask for. I can sign this covenant with Your Majesty on behalf of Tubo. The tribute mentioned in the covenant will be sent to Chang'an City as soon as I return to Tubo!"
Chisong Dezan's reaction can basically be said to be within Li N's expectations. Although Li N's greed for him, it was not something they could not bear.
"I'll give you tribute this year. The ones you brought here are enough. I'm not a person who likes to take advantage of it. Stop it at the right time. This is the way for my Tang Dynasty to survive forever!"
Chisong Dezan thought to himself, "You're not a bad thing," once the convoy is signed, the Tubo people have worked hard for a year, and a small half of them have made contributions to the Tang Dynasty."
But he also knew that it was still not dialectical to take advantage of this thing. If he did not destroy Tubo this time, the Tubo people would have taken advantage of it. If he destroyed Tubo, the people of Tubo would have been the people of the Tang Dynasty, and all the taxes would have been the Tang Dynasty.
Chisong Dezan didn't say much, because he knew the truth that too much would lead to mistakes. When Li Neng now meant that you signed this covenant honestly and be a worker in the Tang Dynasty, Chisong Dezan signed the covenant directly.
Logically speaking, such a scene should have been signed at least in the court of the Tang Dynasty, witnessed by the officials of the Tang Dynasty. However, if it really comes to such a situation, it will only make Chisong Dezan even more embarrassed, so he felt that it would be better to sign it out like this.
"Okay! As Tubo Zanpu, I admire him for having such courage. Since that's the case, the meeting between you and me will come to this day. By the way, a banquet will be held in my Tai Chi Palace tonight. You bring your wife to the banquet. I will also bring my queen and imperial concubine."
After throwing this sentence, Li Qing turned around and left, leaving Chi Song Dezan, who was a little confused.
"Zanpu, please take your wife back to the inn to rest first. Your Majesty has invited you to the banquet. What else do you have to worry about?"
Li Qing patted his butt and left directly, but Xu Yuan could not. After all, Li Qing once said that Chi Song Dezan could barely bear the title of a small hero, but he just met him in a bad luck. For such a person, if he didn't kill him, he would still not have a seed of hatred in his heart.
Of course, these are what Xu Yuan thought in his heart. What he didn't know was that Li Neng really didn't take Chi Song Dezan too seriously. The meaning of his existence now was to balance the relationship between these tribes around the Tang Dynasty, so that none of them could dominate the whole family, and not have any ideas that should not have, and then use these unrealistic ideas to waste Li Neng's time.
In fact, Li Neng's eyes have long been gone. He just wanted to use the method of radish and sticks to make his Tang Dynasty safer. In this era, at least at this time, no one could not catch up with Li Neng's thoughts.
With a nervous mood, Chisong Dezan and Shui Rou returned to the inn. Tubo is indeed safe now, but their fate is still hanging. Although Li Neng has already said that he will not kill them, he has not asked them to go back, and it is on the premise that Chisong Dezan has expressed that he wants to go back.
"Zanpu, this Emperor of Tang Dynasty is really hard to guess. If you don't mention the matter of letting us return to Tubo this time, your guess will come true."
Chisong Dezan glanced at the direction of Tubo outside his window. After pondering for a long time, he finally sighed as if he had accepted his fate. He looked at the woman in front of him and said slowly: "Since this convoy has been signed and Tubo is nothing, my personal gains and losses are nothing. At worst, we will end our lives here!"
During this period, Chisong Dezan repeatedly broke through his previous thoughts. He didn't know at this time that such an experience was also a kind of experience for him.
Even though they were extremely reluctant in their hearts, Chisong Dezan and Shui Rou knew that they had to go and had a good performance at this banquet. Only in this way could Li Yan let them go back with confidence.
Although they have seen the prosperity of Chang'an City and are not sure how many times stronger than Tubo, this is not their home after all. They are kings in Tubo. Although they cannot enjoy some resources that are only available to the Tang Dynasty, having power is enough.
But in Chang'an City, if you say that they are guests, if you don't say that they are prisoners, if you don't say that they are prisoners.
"Zanpu, let's go to the banquet tonight. Aren't there any empress and imperial concubines of the Tang Dynasty at the banquet? You have also said before that the empress of the Tang Dynasty is a kind-hearted person. I will tell her our worries. See what the situation is. If Zanpu is difficult to say, let me say that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty must know what we are thinking, but it's just to grasp our attitude."
These are naturally something that Chisong Dezan can see clearly, but he really doesn't have the courage to ask Li Yan for anything, because once he refuses, things will reach an irreversible level. So far, Li Yan's attitude towards them is at least good.
Just as they were carefully speculating on these possibilities, Li Qing and Xu Yuan in the Tai Chi Palace were also talking about this.
"Your Majesty, although Chisong Dezan signed a covenant, he didn't seem very happy when he left. He looked worried, and he was afraid that he would be resentful."
Xu Yuan finally went to see Chisong Dezan away. Xu Yuan could see clearly what he looked like.
"He was not dissatisfied with the covenant I gave him, but was dissatisfied with the fact that I had not let him return to Tubo after he signed the covenant. He must be very disappointed in his heart now, fearing that I would put him under house arrest in Chang'an City."
"That Majesty means..."
"What does Xu Xiang mean?"
"Chishong Dezan has a lot of ability. Although it cannot be said that he will return to the mountain, it is better to let him go back to Tubo. If he can't go back, now Tubo is simply a situation of being incompetent! At least from the moment, no new Tubo can reach his level."
