Chapter 650: In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, the revenge of the future people
"Boom...!" "Boom...!" "Boom...!" "Boom...!" "Boom...!"
In the canyon, explosions were heard everywhere, and the Tubo soldiers were scared by the sudden explosion and were cut in half by the explosion.
Songtsen Gampo, who heard the explosion, suddenly sat up from the stretcher carrying him, then looked at the back in horror and shouted: "What's going on? Why are there any explosions here?"
"I don't know... I don't know... The king is not pursuing why there is an explosion at this moment. Now we have to leave here immediately!"
"What do you mean is to let this king ignore my soldiers?" Songtsen Gampo looked at the other party and glared.
But at this moment... the talking Tubo general pressed Songtsen Gampo and shouted to the Tubo soldiers behind him: "Run... don't worry about the people behind us, we must take the king back to Tubo. After we go back, we will bear all the blame."
Following the order of the Tubo general, the Tubo soldiers began to escape from Tuyuhun with all their lives.
So in the end, the five thousand cavalrymen who were ambushing Li Zhan did not catch up with him, and just watched Songtsen Gampo run away... However, what made Li Zhan proud was that although Songtsen Gampo escaped, Songtsen Gampo fell ill after returning to Tubo.
As soon as Songtsen Gampo fell ill, the borders between the two countries became peaceful.
....................................
At the same time, in Chang'an City, Lu Dongzan was still in full bloom at this time. In the fourth question, Li Shimin gave the envoys a hundred pine wood sections, allowing Galu Dongzan to distinguish its roots and tips.
Sure enough, Lu Dongzan asked someone to transport all the wood to the river and throw it into the water. The root of the wood was slightly heavier and sank into the water, while the treetops were lighter but floating on the water surface, and the root of the wood was obvious.
Follow the fifth question, go to and from the palace at night and don’t get lost.
One night, a drum suddenly sounded in the palace, and Li Shimin summoned all the envoys to the palace to discuss things. Lu Dongzan thought that he had just arrived in Chang'an and was not familiar with the journey. In order not to get lost, he put marks on the key sections.
After arriving at the palace, the emperor asked them to go back immediately to see who would not go back to their residence on the wrong path. As a result, Lu Dongzan won again with the mark he had made in advance.
To be honest, after Lu Dongzan successfully answered the fifth question correctly, Li Jeong was almost crazy, and Li Zhan had not come back at this time? The whole army did not even have the backbone? Fortunately, Li Shimin also thought of a difficult question.
That is the sixth question, identifying the princess.
On that day, Li Shimin and the ministers of various ministries came to the palace to take the test in person. But they saw 300 palace maids dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked like they were lined up from the palace in two groups, like 300 immortals floating from the sky, light, elegant and handsome. The people were dazzled.
No other messengers had any idea, and I wonder which one was Princess Wencheng? But Lu Dongzan got the advice of the Han lady who had served Li Jue in advance? He learned about Li Jue's appearance and body characteristics: beautiful and slim body, fair skin, bright eyes, firm and gentle personality? There is a dice dot pattern on the right cheek? There is a lotus pattern on the left cheek, a yellow elixir circle on the forehead, white and fine teeth, a green lotus smell on the mouth, and a mole on the neck.
Lu Dongzan repeatedly identified it? Finally, he finally recognized the princess in the sixth ranking on the left.
Li Xing was really ashamed at this moment, not only did Li Xing look like hell? Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji? Li Chengqian, Li Ke and others also showed panic expressions.
Why...because of big trouble? Li Xing is not an ordinary princess? She is Li Zhan's sister? When Li Zhan left, he had already told him that Li Xing would not be sent to Tubo.
Now it is difficult to get rid of the tiger. Li Shimin is not able to go back on his word. After all, so many envoys from the country are watching and suddenly froze there. However, Lu Dongzan's mouth is smiling, it is a pride of spring breeze.
Looking at Lu Dongzan's pride in his spring breeze, all the officials of the Tang Dynasty felt uncomfortable, because why did such a monster have occurred in Tubo? He wished he could go up and give Lu Dongzan a hatch and directly kill Lu Dongzan to death.
"Your Majesty...!" Just as the audience was silent, Lu Dongzan smiled quickly forward and said, "I have recognized the princess. Is it that the princess is going to marry us Tubo?"
"Uh...this..." Li Shimin didn't know what to say for a moment.
At this time, Lu Dongzan laughed and said, "Your Majesty won't give Tubo a chance, right?"
There was no way, Li Shimin was directly led by Lu Dongzan, and had no choice but to prepare to issue an order. But at this moment, suddenly, Li Junxian ran over from outside and whispered in Li Shimin's ear: "His Royal Highness of Qin successfully recovered Tuyuhun and defeated the Tubo and Tuyuhun coalition forces. The siege of Suzhou has been lifted. Songtsen Gampo returned to Tubo with only 300 cavalry. Once he arrived in Tubo, he would not be able to afford to get sick."
"Haha...haha..." After hearing Li Junxian's whisper, Li Shimin immediately stood up from the dragon throne, showed a touch of playful smile and said, "Lu Dongzan!"
"The subordinate is here..." Lu Dongzan didn't know anything at this time. He was still proud now, thinking that he had played the ministers of the Tang Dynasty in his hands.
"Princess Wencheng will not marry you Tubo, we will discuss it tomorrow... Because you may have something to do with Tubo, you have to go back first. As for Princess Wencheng is still young, let's play for a few more years."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, Lu Dongzan frowned. Songzan Inca beside him wanted to speak and refute, but was stopped by Lu Dongzan.
Oh... they are all talented people. Li Shimin's mere words and the change in attitude have already made Lu Dongzan alert.
Following Lu Dongzan bowed slightly, he bowed to Li Shimin, and then left with Songzan Inca. When Lu Dongzan returned to his place of residence, the bad news finally came.
Hou Guangliang led his troops to a great victory in Suzhou. Li Zhan recovered Tuyuhun and followed Li Zhan to ambush Songtsen Gampo. Fortunately, Songtsen Gampo was lucky and fled back to Tubo. However, Songtsen Gampo is seriously ill now.
At this time, Lu Dongzan was eager to go back. This news suddenly made Lu Dongzan go from being proud to being depressed. He never expected that the Tang Dynasty would send troops to lift the siege of Suzhou.
I solved the problem in Chang'an, but it was actually the delaying plan of the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, and I was the one who was fooled.
On the contrary, when Lu Dongzan was depressed, there was a burst of joy in Li Shimin's nectar hall.
"Haha... I just said that Your Highness of Qin would not disappoint His Majesty. Look... The siege in Suzhou was lifted, Tuyuhun recovered, and he beat the Tubo king to death...!"
Hou Junji praised Li Zhan loudly.
At this time, Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Guangliang made the greatest contribution to the siege of Suzhou, and he fought very well..."
Looking at Changsun Wuji, Hou Junji smiled and said, "What's this... Guangliang is the soldier in the hands of His Highness King Qin, and Guangliang's contributions are all from His Highness King Qin." When he said this, Hou Junji looked proudly at other generals with sons. His pride was fully revealed.
"Tsk...!" Many veterans looked at Hou Junji's pride with contempt.
Finally, Li Shimin smiled and said, "King Qin, Guangliang... are all heroes of my Tang Dynasty. I will definitely reward you when I come back this time. Now I will see if Lu Dongzan knows you tomorrow."
"Lu Dongzan is very smart. He will definitely leave tomorrow." Fang Xuanling smiled slightly.
As expected, just like Fang Xuanling thought, the next day, Lu Dongzan came to sue the crime, saying that Tubo was flirting with and did not dare to mention marrying the princess again, but hoped that he would always be in good terms with the Tang Dynasty in the future and not violate each other.
This is a complete acceptance...!
Seeing Lu Dongzan's understanding of the current affairs, Li Shimin stroked his pen and gave Lu Dongzan a large number of Buddhist scriptures, asking Lu Dongzan to bring them back to Tubo, and asked Lu Dongzan to tell Songzan Gampo that the Tang Dynasty was willing to practice with Tubo for generations.
In this way... the honeymoon period between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty began.
After Lu Dongzan returned to Tubo and met Songtsen Gampo, the two were speechless. Finally, Songtsen Gampo told Lu Dongzan the reason for the loss, and when Lu Dongzan knew that this defeat was because of a weapon that could explode.
Lu Dongzan expressed his opinion, that is, when he did not understand the weapons possessed by the Tang Dynasty, Tubo no longer acted good at starting a sword and war. Songtsen Gampo agreed, and because of this, Tubo and Tang Dynasty were always in peace during the period when Songtsen Gampo were alive.
....................................
A month later, Li Zhan returned to the court, and just when everyone thought that the King of Qin could go to another level, Li Zhan suddenly submitted a letter and demanded that all power be lifted and go to his fiefdom Dengzhou.
The first time the report was rejected by Li Shimin, but Li Zhan made a report three times in a row.
Li Shimin knew that Li Zhan had decided to leave, so he had no choice but to agree to Li Zhan to go to his fiefdom. After Li Zhan made a statement, other princes also made a statement, Li Ke, Li You, Li Yan... In addition to Li Tai, who was also completing the "Guodizhi", all the adult princes went to their fiefdoms one after another.
Unlike in the past, these princes no longer have no nostalgia for Chang'an and the throne.
As soon as Li Zhan left, Dunhuafang left Li Chengqian, and Li Zhan took away ten thousand Tiger Army... As for the tiger army who was kept by Li Zhan, Li Dafu, Yue Niang, Li Jue, Li Sheng... they all followed Li Zhan to Dengzhou.
Longya, Dahouguan, Lijingmen... they all followed Li Zhan to Dengzhou.
However, the bad guy Wei Chang was left to Li Chengqian by Li Zhan. You should know that Wei Chang has taken charge of the bad guy now, and leaving it to Li Chengqian can help Li Chengqian.
Oh... By the way, Hua Gu was also taken away by Li Zhan. At first, Li Zhan didn't want to take him, but later Li Zhan learned that Hua Gu was actually Wu Zetian. According to Li Zhan's ruthlessness, he should have cut Hua Gu with one knife, so that he could end all the things.
But in the end, he had already had feelings, so Li Zhan brought Hua Gu with him.
Alas... Hua Gu was taken away. Li Zhi was the saddest, but it was useless to be sad. Li Zhan would not let Li Zhi and Hua Gu come into contact with him.
When Li Zhan left, Li Chengqian cried miserably and kept holding Li Zhan like this and not letting go. However, if Li Zhan wants him to be independent, he must leave. As the saying goes, one mountain does not allow two tigers. Leaving at this time is the best choice.
In this way, in the tenth year of Zhenguan... Li Zhan, the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, submitted a letter to the fiefdom, and left without taking away any nostalgia.
After that, the Tang Dynasty entered its most prosperous period. First, the sweet potatoes of the Tang Dynasty blossomed and bear fruit in full bloom and took three years to promote. It was probably at the 14th day of Zhenguan, sweet potatoes had become the most ordinary side dish in the Tang Dynasty.
In four years, sweet potatoes have saved tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty. Not only that, sweet potatoes have also begun to change in many stages and become a delicacy.
In addition to sweet potatoes, there is also the success of movable type printing. movable type printing has become the hope of the poor people of the Tang Dynasty. The cost of books has been reduced again and again, and many poor people have read books.
The Tang Dynasty then launched the imperial examination system, and a large number of outstanding poor children entered the officialdom, greatly alleviating the dilemma of no successor in the Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, Li Shimin also built schools everywhere in the Tang Dynasty. Because the national treasury is full, all the monthly salary of all the teachers is subsidized by the Ministry of Revenue. As long as children over the age of six, no matter who your parents are, farmers, or merchants... they can enter the school to learn knowledge.
Also, gold and silver coins have been fully utilized. Now everyone doesn’t have to bring a lot of money when going out. Just bring a few gold and silver coins to go shopping and have a meal.
It greatly facilitated the travel of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and of course, it reduced the cumbersome business.
In August of the 11th year of Zhenguan, the Censor Ma Zhou submitted a memorial to the court, suggesting that the government should pay attention to the election of local officials in prefectures and counties. Li Shimin heard the report and thought it was right, so he decided that he would personally choose the governor in the future, and the county magistrate would be elected by one person from the fifth rank or above in Beijing.
Following the tax system that Li Shimin began to implement, it mainly involves collecting grains, laying them or serving the government. It is a tax and service system based on the equal-land system. This system stipulates that any household with equal-land, regardless of the amount of land given by their family, will pay a fixed amount of tax and serve a certain amount of corvee.
There are also changes in the military system of the government. The military government is located in the local regiment, and soldiers cannot move out of boundaries at will. They usually work in farming, practice martial arts in slack farming, and go on expeditions when they have any problems. The main tasks are to go to guards and to defend.
The guards of the sermon will take turns to the guards of the capital and will be given to each other according to the distance from Chang'an.
The law stipulates: Five soldiers from a hundred miles away (that is, five people in each prefecture are in a group, and these five people take turns to Chang'an Guards, and so on, but seven races and nine races are not divided into groups, so there should be leftovers), seven races from a hundred miles away, eight races from a thousand miles away, one month each; nine races from a thousand miles away, two months each each.
In addition to the two capitals and their nearby states, the guards of the inner palace (three guards) must be promoted to the guards, Yuzhou will be appointed as the deputy servants.
When the troops arrived at Chang'an Guards, they were led by the generals of the twelve guards. The troops were ordered by the imperial court to command the generals. When dispatching, they must hold the talismans from the Ministry of War, and only after being investigated and merged by the governor of the state and the generals of the Zhechong Prefecture were sent.
When the war ends, the troops are scattered in the palace and the generals return to the court. In this way, the generals and generals cannot hold their own troops.
....................................
All the above...Li Zhan did not respond at all. Even if Li Zhan knew that the equal-field system would collapse in the end, he knew that the military system would last, but Li Zhan did not intervene.
Why... Because Li Zhan knows that all these things must follow the development of history, Li Zhan does not want to interfere too much in history.
Even after Li Zhan arrived in Dengzhou, no other technology appeared again, because Li Zhan was avoiding the development of technology, and Li Zhan wanted to leave a relatively peaceful world for the future... Oh, by the way, although Li Zhan did not invent other technologies, there are still technologies that benefit the people, such as cotton seed removal machines. Now, people have cotton coats worn during the Chinese New Year in the Tang Dynasty.
In this way, Li Zhan stayed in Dengzhou for six years.
And in this year... in the 16th year of Zhenguan, a big event happened. Li Zhan knew that the early occurrence of this big event should be the revenge of future people.
