The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1634 Things

Xuan Shijing felt that Emperor Xiaode of the Wa Kingdom was a sensible person, but the Tang Dynasty did not want Xiaode to be a sensible person. The Tang Dynasty was the suzerain of the Wa Kingdom. Although the father was obliged to teach his son to be smart, this son was not born, yes He was brought back halfway, and maybe he respected Datang's father from the bottom of his heart. Datang is stronger than Wa Guo, so he is his father.

"Your Highness is worried that Wa Kingdom has thoughts about Liaodong?" Xuan Shijing said: "Your Highness thinks, do they dare?"

It has only been a few years since the Tang Dynasty pacified Liaodong and destroyed Goguryeo and Baekje?The remaining prestige is still there, unless Waguo and Silla are really not afraid of death and want to plunder Datang's beard, otherwise they can only stay on their own land obediently, motionless.

If you dare to move, Datang will dare to fight.

"If it's just these two places on the east side, it's easy to handle." Li Chengqian sighed.

"What? What's wrong again?" Xuan Shijing said, "Aren't you going to live a peaceful life these days?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian gave a wry smile: "Who knows? I'm not afraid of being defeated. What I'm afraid of is that the Tang Dynasty will be attacked by the enemy, and the two forces will be divided."

"How do you say that?" Xuan Shijing frowned.

"To the west, Tubo." Li Chengqian said, "Songtsan Gampo is seriously ill. According to news, he may not survive this year, and Wen Cheng and Songtsan Gampo have no heirs. The connection between Tang and Tang has also become sparse, so we have to pay more attention to beware of Tubo."

Listening to what Li Chengqian said, Xuan Shijing can understand this point. Originally, Datang and Tubo had a good relationship. In addition to Datang's strength, it was more because of Princess Wencheng's entry into Tibet. There are always frictions, the Tubo people can't fight in, and the Tang Dynasty can't fight on the plateau. At the border, you come and go, and each other loses. After the two countries got married, this ushered in a peaceful day on the border.

But if Songtsan Gampo died, there would be no offspring between him and Princess Wencheng, and the one who succeeded Zanpu would most likely be the son of Songtsan Gampo's concubine, that is, the son of Concubine Meng.

Songtsan Gampo had no offspring with Princess Wencheng and Princess Chizun. He had a son named Gongsong Gongzan with Concubine Meng, and another eldest son named Gongri Gongzan, but Gongri Gongzan died young, but Gongri Gongzan has a son, Mansong Mangzan. This son is still young, but he is a descendant.

Xuan Shijing felt that for the seat of Zanpu, there was bound to be a battle between the concubine and the eldest grandson. From the perspective of Datang, no matter who inherited Zanpu's seat, it would be beneficial to Datang. Can't say much.

The concubine is older, but he has no contact or relationship with Tang Dynasty at all. After inheriting Zanpu's seat, under the coercion of the Tubo nobles, there will inevitably be another friction with the Tang Dynasty border.

As for the young eldest grandson, it is easy to control. After the eldest grandson succeeds to the throne, Princess Wencheng can support her from behind. With the influence of Princess Wencheng, it will be better. Thumbs up.

Xuan Shijing has seen this person Lu Dongzan before. He went to the Tang Dynasty to ask for marriage for Songtsan Gampo. Lu Dongzan did not bother him. It can be seen that this person has great intelligence. If not, he would not have Helped Lu Dongzan to seize the throne in chaos, and then became an extremely human minister.

"This matter is just news from the spies, and it has not been announced in the court for the time being. After all, Songtsan Gampo is not dead, and Tubo is not in chaos." Li Chengqian said: "Father asked me to let me know." You, I want to hear what you think, apart from you, the emperor also summoned uncle and other confidant ministers, and they also know about it."

His Majesty Li Er is indeed cautious enough about this matter. Although Datang is not afraid of fighting now, Datang has finally made a step forward and ushered in a breakthrough in development. At this time, it is not suitable for fighting, even if he can What is won and lost is far more than the little things on the battlefield.

His Majesty Li Er is unwilling to interrupt the current internal development momentum of Datang, so Xuan Shijing feels that His Majesty Li Er wants to seek stability.

Don't seek to walk fast and hastily, but seek to walk solidly and steadily.

More or less, Xuan Shijing could still guess a little bit of His Majesty Li Er's thoughts, otherwise His Majesty Li Er would not have discussed this matter with someone in such a secret way, just to come up with the safest solution.

It seems that if this is the case, the filial piety of the Japanese country cannot die for the time being.

Xiaode is alive, and the Wa Kingdom will definitely not conflict with Datang, because he understands what kind of existence Datang is in his heart.

What does Silla want to do?It’s nothing more than salivating for the land and cities of Goguryeo and Baekje that the Tang Dynasty won on the Sanhan Peninsula. Without the worry of Baekje, after a few years of stable life, I also want to expand.

Speaking of it, Datang was too gentle with these surrounding countries. Although it was exchanged for the virtue of convincing people, it was really easy to talk. Bring some gifts to Chang'an, and the matter will be settled.

In the end, Datang lost more than he gained.

"From this point of view, His Majesty does not want Tang to use swords, at least not yet." Xuan Shijing said.

Li Chengqian nodded: "It's true, let alone the emperor, the ministers in the court, except for some generals in the army, no one wants to fight."

If you don’t want to fight, it depends on the situation. One is that you can’t fight, and the other is that civil servants don’t want generals to go to the battlefield. Once on the battlefield, with the current military situation of the Tang Dynasty, it is not difficult to win the battle. If he wins, he will be rewarded with the title of Marquis. Some people are envious, others are jealous. Generally speaking, it is civil and military incompetence.

The imperial court has [-]%, the emperor has [-]%, and the remaining civil servants and military generals have another [-]%. If there is more on one side, the other side will naturally have less. This is the reason.

Some courtiers may be unwilling to fight for this reason, but His Majesty Li Er has many considerations, and he is really thinking about the development of the Tang Dynasty. After all, it belongs to the world. This Tang Dynasty, what is said It sounds like the Tang Dynasty for the common people, but Li Tang and Li Tang, isn’t it the old Li’s family?People from Lao Li's family sit in the world?

"If Wa really wants to unite with Silla and take the land of Woongjin, I'm afraid we won't have to fight this battle." Li Chengqian said: "This kind of thing is out of our hands."

Xuan Shijing smiled and shook his head: "That's not necessarily true."
