After all, Japan was just an inconspicuous little character in the diplomatic system of the Tang Dynasty. No matter where he decided, he didn't need to be too serious. Therefore, the saint only said a few words and the topic quickly moved away from it.

In addition to Japan, there is another abrupt existence in this list of assisting battles, that is, Tubo.

The Tubo said that he was willing to send two thousand soldiers to follow the Tang army to fight against the Turks, and in addition to these two thousand soldiers and their armed forces, he could also donate a thousand Qinghai good horses as war horses.

This is really a lean camel than a horse. The situation in Tubo is now in chaos. It can be said that the country's strength has been weakest since Songtsen Gampo unified the plateau. But even so, the Tubo's statement made his move still more than many Hu tribes who had been ruled by the Tang Dynasty for a long time.

Of course, how many people and things are the second to help fight, the key is this attitude. Tubo's statement was full of past grudges and repaying grudges with kindness. He did not care about the hatred of the previous defeat in Qinghai. Instead, he was keen to transfer this pain to the Turks.

There is no personal affection and exchange between countries, and the only fundamental reason is interests. No matter how much trauma and pain the Tang Dynasty had given Tubo before, the most important thing for Tubo at present is to repair this diplomatic relationship as soon as possible, so as not to allow internal and external conditions and order to continue to cause systematic damage or even collapse.

In addition to expressing his desire to change his past, Tubo should have some promotional skills to the surrounding gangs and tribes, and he has a stubborn and tenacious attitude that he can't stand to fight, thus dispelling the surrounding gangs and tribes' desire to take advantage of the situation.

"There is no Fan envoy to the east?"

After reading the information related to Tubo, Li Tong asked again.

"I have entered the city a few days ago, but I still haven't arrived all of them."

Zhong Shaojing, the Minister of Rites, quickly stood up and replied: "Tubo sent envoys this time, one of the main envoys and two deputy envoys. At present, only the main envoys Wei Qilixu arrived in Luoyang. Qilixu is also a great discussion on the foreign countries, and the two deputy envoys are still on the way."

"Since the mission entered the court, how can we go in different ways?"

Li Tong couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard this answer.

Zhong Shaojing immediately smiled and said, "The clerk who went out to greet the people replied to the Fan family but was not harmonious. They fought several times and did not avoid outsiders. Although Qilixu is now a prime minister of the Fan country, the Gar family has no equal status than in the past. The deputy envoys of the same peer were Shang Qiusang of Wulu family and Qu Mangbao of the Qu family. They all have supporters and have little harmony with each other..."

After hearing this, Li Tong couldn't help but sigh. Although the current situation in Tubo was inseparable from him, seeing that the conflicts in such a large Western Power were so profound that even quarreled in the missions to foreign countries, he felt quite moved, and of course he couldn't help feeling full of relief.

Since ancient times, annexation has been easy but condensation is difficult. The place where Tubo unified the plateau was also the efforts of Songtsen Gampo and his father and grandfather for several generations. Once the internal integration was completed, they would reveal their fangs and attack from all directions, and dared to directly provoke the Tang Dynasty, a world-class powerhouse.

Although Tubo at that time was also inseparable from the chaos of strong ministers' rebellion, internal problems could be covered up during the growth process. Even when the eldest prince died suddenly and the young master became a country, he could make a smooth transition.

This is not the only favor of the Sitano family. The key is that the glorious prospect can continue to cover up the contradictions and allow all people with all kinds of thoughts to gather around Zamp.

The Gar family made great contributions to the growth of Tubo, but now its decline is the Gar family, especially Lun Qinling, is also unforgivable. No matter how fierce and powerful a person is, his ability is always limited. Lun Qinling is invincible on the battlefield and has created a great reputation, but he does not know how to coordinate interest relations.

When the Gar family was in power, the interests of all forces within the Tubo were always suppressed. With the fall of the Gar family, this suppressed ** naturally became more and more vented.

If Tubo had not been defeated in the Qinghai battlefield, or even not as tragic as it was, the situation would still be available for control.

However, after the defeat in Qinghai, the Tubo market suddenly lost the biggest piece of fat. Zamp faced not only the problem of wavering prestige, but more importantly, the Tubo after losing Qinghai did not have much bargaining chips to meet the demands of all parties in the country.

A clever wife cannot cook without rice. After the power has dropped sharply, even if there is no chaos for a while, the status of the monarch and ministers is no longer enough to restrain those wealthy chiefs and state rulers who are insatiable.

If a regime, or an organization, cannot coordinate the internal personnel relations of the organization, balance and meet various demands, then it will be no longer far from falling apart. If it is not for interest relations, who is willing to be a low-key and be a grandson for others?

The Fan envoys no longer concealed their internal disputes, and may even take the initiative to show them, so as to encourage the Tang Dynasty to strengthen its interference in Tubo.

This idea seems a bit incredible. No matter how chaotic it is within Tubo, it is not enough to choose a few envoys, all of them are traitors, and the interest demands of the Tang Dynasty are difficult to reach an agreement with their disputes.

But in fact, this possibility is really not small. The Zamp of Tubo is no longer enough to endorse their common interests, and the prosperity and strength of the Tang Dynasty also made them unable to see the possibility of defeating through force in a short period of time.

Now Tubo is no longer strong, and the rebelliousness of the past has completely exposed the forces of the state on the plateau to the eyes of the Central Plains Empire. The fog of war was taken by them but they were weak afterwards. How to survive under the overlook of the strong is a new trouble that the forces on the plateau had never faced before, and this generation of Tubo powerful people could not avoid.

The Tang Dynasty has formed a strategic encirclement of Tubo, and its influence and control have penetrated into the Xikang region. It has also accepted the surrender of the Gar family, who is well versed in the national conditions and geographical situation of Tubo. If it will actively stop interfering and infiltration in Tubo, it will be really unbelievable.

Faced with such a situation, I have no right to decide the subsequent development of the situation, so the current Tubo powerful people can really describe it in one sentence, that is, since I can't resist, it's better...

Although it is a bit vulgar, the actual situation is that instead of waiting for the Tang Dynasty to deepen its control over Tubo in a way that they cannot accept and resist, it is better to lower their attitude, take the initiative to cater to the Tang Dynasty, and use a gentle way to influence the business strategy of the Tang Dynasty. After all, hard work is really impossible, and there is no way to integrate within it. Instead of supporting each other, it is better to practice each other.

The feelings of being patient and serving as a country do not exist. If Tubo Zanpu died in Qinghai directly, then in the panic of defeat in foreign wars, losing the monarch, and the building was about to collapse, it would be possible that Tubo would be integrated and resist the Tang Dynasty's strategy to continue targeting Tubo with the same hatred of the enemy.

But he was so desperate that Zanpu escaped at the battle and returned to the middle school for several years, but it did not improve the national conditions and national strength. In the end, he was inevitably killed, leaving a more decayed mess.

Some people are alive but already dead, while others are alive but not as good as death. Zamp has survived for the past few years, which has been a process of continuous damage and disability of the internal centripetal force of Tubo. Many people have realized that living together is actually a torture without the continuous increase in external growth, and this death is a relief for many people.

Therefore, the Tubo sent envoys this time, which attracted the reciprocity of the Zong family to make an attempt. In fact, it is very likely that even these envoys would not be happy to succeed. In the final analysis, they did not want the Tubo royal family to improve and strengthen with the help of the Tang Dynasty's protection and support.

Even if the marriage was successful, it would be impossible to achieve the situation of Princess Wencheng entering the Bohai family during the Zhenguan period. When Tubo came to poverty, he would inevitably face the tough difficulties and extortion of the Tang Dynasty, and had to regress and seek for perfection and give up a lot of benefits.

Of course, these interests cannot be unique to the royal family, and will inevitably be distributed to the national clans in the country, especially those national tribes that are so powerful that they have already posed a substantial threat to the royal power.

The benefit is taken by one company alone, but the betrothal gifts are raised by each company. If this abacus is too loud, it will naturally make people dissatisfied. Since the left and right cannot escape the interests of one country, aren’t I worthy of selling the country?

"The Honglu Temple will decide on any matters that the foreign envoys contacted and resettled. Before the envoys reach the Dongdu, the information can be transmitted, and there is no need to be discussed and decided in the Political Affairs Hall."

After pondering for a while, Li Tong ordered that the two countries reiterate diplomatic relations. The Tang Dynasty took the absolute initiative, but the Tubo side was in conflict with no opinion at all. If any consensus was reached rashly, the Tubo side's execution was worrying. In the end, it would probably rely on the Tang Dynasty's own strength to achieve it.

Since that is the case, there is no need to rush things. Anyway, the Tang Dynasty can afford to delay it. It is best to delay it until the end of the war in the Northern Expedition to the Turks. At that time, there will naturally be greater voice and deterrence.

In the following period, the affairs of the court were mainly carried out around the northern expedition. Material transportation in Hebei, Jiangnan and other regions was in full swing, and all the people were gathering at the designated locations, including those troops from Zhuhu who sent troops to assist in the war.

Although Li Tong did not personally fight this time, there were more and more affairs that needed to be stopped than before. He did not relax because of the current poverty situation in the Turks. He also fully despised and attached great importance to it strategically.

The past is not worthy of being proud of himself. As long as he does not solve the Turks, a traditional enemy in the northern desert, he still cannot meet the qualifications of being comparable to his ancestors.

In this busy atmosphere, time passes quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th is coming.

The custom of worshiping the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival has a long history, and the festival that became a legal festival in the imperial court began in the Zhenguan period. However, the Mid-Autumn Festival is still different from later generations. Even if there are celebrations, the main thing is a gathering of friends in the Shilin River, and there is not a strong sense of reunion between people and moon.

Li Tong was deeply influenced by the concept of festivals in later generations. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, as long as he was not busy and couldn't get out of his body, he always had to take time to gather with his family.

This year's festival is no exception. All relatives and friends who arrived in Dongdu went to Shangyang Palace one after another in the afternoon, and the Empress Dowager was also picked up from Taichu Palace early in the morning.

Due to the influence of the festive atmosphere, Li Tong was a little absent-minded when handling official business today. Fortunately, there were no major matters that needed special attention on this day.

After looking at the memorial, he looked up and saw that the scholars of the Zhitang Palace brought a basket of documents. He couldn't help but frown and patiently browse the items on the seal of the box. Seeing that there was no big deal, he simply slapped the box and smiled at the several Zhitang students and said, "You are here to go, I have time to go, and I will be busy tomorrow morning."

When the few people heard this, they laughed and said, "They each had invitations from their colleagues and friends, but because the saint was still diligent, they did not dare to leave for the appointment. Since the saint wanted to take a break for half a day, they naturally enjoyed being at peace. But seeing that the saint had no intention of having a banquet for the courtiers, they couldn't help but feel sorry for not being able to see the saints in person this night and then made a happy remark.

After the matters in the hall were temporarily sealed, Li Tong left Guanfeng Hall and headed to the Neiyuan Living Area.

At present, most palace people are preparing for a moon-watching banquet after night in our neighbor Luoshui, but there are not many people elsewhere. Li Tong was planning to return to the bedroom to change his clothes, so he went to join in the fun, but when he arrived at the bedroom, he saw that the queen was not hosting the hospital, but stood outside the palace corridor, with a little anxious expression, and kept protruding his head and looking out.

"Wife is it because of a big deal to harass her?"

Seeing this, Li Tong strides forward, and the queen also quickly greets the saint, holding the saint and saying quickly: "Concubine De summoned the old officials of the foreign land yesterday. After returning to the palace, she was sad and upset. This morning, she knelt on the inner hut of the palace for a long time. No matter who persuades her, she will not obey. I dare not send people to disturb the saint, so I will wait here..."

Li Tong was a little surprised and concerned when he heard this. He hurriedly walked into the bedroom with the queen. When he turned into the inner compartment, he saw that his body was showing. The soon-to-be-pain Concubine Ye Ali was kneeling here, his face full of tears.

Seeing this, he felt pity and anger. He frowned and wanted to help the lady up, and even shouted: "Why can't the family members express their opinions clearly? Where can evil feelings disturb the lady and make you want to do such a self-harm?"

Concubine De was just crying silently. At this moment, when she saw the saint entering, she couldn't help but feel sad. She buried her head in the saint's arms. She clenched her fists and beat the saint, while crying: "Bad man, bad man... How could he deceive me in the past with deep affection? After showing her distantness, she was so heartless. She was about to force me to separate my flesh and blood, but she still deceived her without saying a word..."

The lady is about to give birth, and her body is not convenient to move. Li Tong naturally dared not avoid it with big moves and hugged the lady with arms around her. She was a little confused in her embarrassment: "Where does this start? Your separation of flesh and blood is caused by pregnancy. This is the way of heaven. Even if I am in the world, I cannot order you to get pregnant and not give birth..."

But his witty words could not appease Concubine De. After hearing this, the lady felt even more sad: "At present, I still have a good understanding of my arms, but my husband still refuses to reveal the truth? I reiterate the friendship with foreign countries, but I refuse to give it to the women of the scattered tribe, but I want to treat my child as a disgrace. Isn't the husband such a plan?"

After hearing this, Li Tong understood why the lady was doing this, and there were many thoughts in his mind. But now it was not convenient to make deep speculations, so he still gave priority to comforting the lady: "I have not summoned the envoy to the Fan Dynasty yet, so how can I make any decisions? What's more, as the lady said, the child is still in his arms. If there is any situation, how can he skip the lady?"

"real?"

Ye Ali was half suspicious and half surprised when she heard this, and then she stopped crying, and then said hatefully: "The old fox of Wei is really hateful. It is rare for me to see him. He dared to cheat me with evil words!"

Seeing that the saint had already comforted Concubine De, the queen went in front and said, "In daily life, the family members must always get close to outsiders. Concubine De, you are one and two people at the moment, and you should not be so stubborn and autistic! I will go to our hospital to comfort the other people first, and you will come after you tell me clearly."

Hearing the Queen's slander, Ye Ali also nodded and apologized quickly. After the Queen left, she did not wait for the Queen to ask questions and took the initiative to explain the reasons to the saint: "I met with Qilixu yesterday. He talked about the chaos in the world, but said that if there was no power in the Tang Dynasty, there would be no peace in the chaos. In the past, the people in power in the country were angry with the great power. When the saint was in a powerful plan, you would definitely not be willing to protect the Sitano clan. Earlier, the king of the CPC Zhongzong was punished for his marriage, so he guessed that the saint might intentionally split the land and feudalism, and sent my two children out of the country and placed them on the other side..."

When Li Tong heard these words, he was speechless.

He was not surprised that Wei was able to understand his true intentions. After all, the two countries had frequent personal exchanges and exchanges were made between the two sides. Wei Qili and Xu were a prominent foreign country when he was in power in the Gar family. Now he has replaced Lun Qinling as the position of the country's major theories, so naturally there is no shortage of this political sensitivity.

"So the lady believed his words and turned around to make things difficult for her family?"

He did not respond positively, but asked Ye Ali back.

After hearing this, Ye Ali shook his head and sighed: "I am not angry, but I am just sad and ashamed of my origin... I am fortunate to be able to serve the saints and develop blood. But no matter how great the kindness of the kindness is, I cannot escape the trap of fate. The children will be entangled in my story... Qilixu is not a respected elder, but he has some talent in his view of emotions and discussions. Even if he is not close, it will not be too far away..."

Speaking of this, she stared at the saint with her eyes in her eyes. Li Tong felt a little embarrassed by her. She turned her head to avoid the sight of her wife, but she also replied in a positive tone: "Although I don't have to bear the hardship of pregnancy and childbirth, I will not forget the deep love and happiness when sowing that year.

The biological child whose bloodline is spreading cannot be used purely. The situation in the foreign country is now intense and the struggle is fierce. The monarch in his prime cannot protect himself. How could he let my child enter this wolf cave? The great fortune of the Tang Dynasty is now due to the life of my soldiers and the hard work of civil and military officials, and it is not due to the harmony of the situation in the door.

Qilixu was neither a good assistant nor a wise man who had no choice but to do anything else. If what he saw was limited, he could tell that the weapons were limited and the foreign countries were no one, and it was difficult to see the great power of a great country using strategies!”

"The husband really won't send his children? I really don't know what to repay for my mother and son... Then, let's put off this ambition and work hard to increase the population of the Zong family!"

When Ye Ali burst into tears and laughed, he was extremely moved when he heard the saint say this.

Although she was born in a foreign country, she was forced by the powerful people in the country to flee to Tang. Even though she still had some feelings for her family and country, she could not resist the love of her child due to family life. She would definitely not be willing to stay away from her parents and relatives and go to the dangerous place of the foreign country.

But Li Tong felt a little ashamed when Ye Ali was moved. He hugged the lady and sighed: "My wife is about to give birth, and I didn't want to harass her at this time. But now that I have already said this, I will analyze some real ideas to you.

I have no limit to the territory of the Fan Kingdom, but Xikang was the beginning of my marriage with my wife. It should be passed on by my two children in terms of emotion and reason. This is not a mean harm to Silang, but a kind of parents he should have innate."

When Ye Ali heard that his son would inevitably have the fate of Fengyuanjiang, he was in a hurry, but before she could argue, Li Tong continued: "I don't care less for my children than for the ladies.

Dao Nu enjoys honor when he enters the world. I have to raise him to see the world, for fear that he will be relieved by the world. Since Silang has been living far away, he must be more cautious and will never let him leave his parents suddenly at the age of yellow.

The scenery and systems in that place are different from China. Even the heroes who are both wise and brave cannot treat them calmly. Since I have given them to my children, they will definitely not be a bad deed of poor mountains and evil lands, and the evil deeds that breed evil spirits. After the vassal system is established, there will be more than ten years to clear and promote governance.

When the country is at home, I may have difficulties and cannot fully allow my wife. But when the child leaves the vassal state next year, when the wife nods and when I will let her go. After the child becomes an adult, she is not as cute as when she is young. Perhaps the wife has already disliked his gradually cramped virtue. After driving this crazier length, she will keep her wife and children in Beijing, so that both of us will not lose the joy of family life."

After hearing this, Ye Ali still did not fully resist, but knew that the child would not leave home when he was young, and finally felt a little relieved.

To be honest, she was not completely unintentional about the inheritance of Xikang's industry to her biological children. After all, such a situation is more transcendent than a vain and a free prince in Beijing.

After pondering for a moment, she said: "Qi Li Xu's advice may also have secretly hoped that his husband would have such a plan. This kind of Sun Bo's old people could only rely on the power of Zanpu to compete with Shannan and Xiangxiong's disciples. Now Xikang returns to me, and his local area will not exist. If the young master comes to the country and Qi Li Xu does not have the fierceness of Qinling, it will be even more difficult to protect himself. Only by seeking the Tang Dynasty outside can we rely on it. If my child is feudal, he can serve as a helper in the foreign country, but this old thing is treacherous and cannot stay for a long time after the situation is stable!"
