Tang Dynasty: Tubo signed for ten years and returned with millions of troops

But he didn't say anything, just thinking that the prince would come to greet him sooner or later, and then he would just mention it in passing.

But who would have thought.

I waited and waited, but I didn't wait for Li Chengqian's visit, but saw such an unbearable scene in the East Palace.

What a disappointment!

"Father, that's right. "

"Since my father's expedition, the situation around Datang has been turbulent. Turkic, Tuyuhun and other places are also preparing to move, and in order to stabilize the situation, I have arranged some people who are easy to use in key positions. "

Li Chengqian had already prepared his rhetoric and said it almost without thinking.

"Hmm. "

Hearing this explanation, Li Er didn't have too many doubts.

Truly.

Recently, the surroundings of Datang have indeed been unpeaceful.

Mainly because of Qin Mu.

It is natural for the prince to be more vigilant.

In addition, Li Er has a deep affection for Li Chengqian, and he will not affect the relationship between father and son because of this trivial matter.

"Since you can use these people easily, then don't let them stay in those positions in the future. "

Li Er planned to let Li Chengqian sharpen and sharpen his court more, and it would be good to get to know more people.

"Thank you, Father. "

"Father, if it's okay, then I'll go back first. "

Li Chengqian's forehead was oozing with fine beads of sweat, and he didn't dare to look at Li Er.

Ever since I knew where I came from.

Li Chengqian no longer regards Li Er as his father.

Now that his most beloved heart has died, this makes Li Chengqian's heart even more resentful.

He just wanted to leave the Ganlu Hall as soon as possible, and he didn't want to see Li Er again.

"Don't you have anything to tell me?"

Li Er looked at his son in front of him, his eyes flashing with complicated emotions.

I was born and died outside, laying a good foundation for you to sit firmly in the future, didn't you even have half a word of greeting?

Even if you don't ask me, at least ask your mother?

Alas!

"The father is wise and martial, and the sons listen to the father's training. "

Li Chengqian continued to say a painless official sentence to prevaricate Li Er.

“......"

"Come down. "

Li Er finally gave up, waved his hand tiredly, and let Li Chengqian retreat.

As soon as Li Chengqian left with his front foot, an attendant hurriedly walked in.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has sent a letter. "

The chamberlain handed the letter in his hand to Li Er.

"What!?"

Li Er's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly opened the letter and looked at it carefully.

But when he saw the content of the message, his face gradually turned gloomy, and finally the green tendons on his entire temple burst out, and the hands holding the letter trembled violently.

The content of the letter is the matter of the lord of the 36 countries of the Western Regions that day when Qin Mu feasted.

Including the severance of diplomatic relations between the lords of the thirty-six countries and the Tang Dynasty, Qin Mu's smooth becoming the leader of the alliance of the Western Regions, and so on.

"Ahhh

"Qin Mu, I don't share the sky with you!"

Li Er angrily tore the letter to shreds, stared at his bloodshot eyes and shouted, "Spread my will, tomorrow's dynasty!"

Following.

Imperial Palace, Taiji Palace.

The important ministers and relatives of the emperor in Chang'an City are all here.

Everyone was talking, not knowing what had happened.

Yesterday, His Majesty was furious in the Hall of Manna and heard that even the table was lifted. "

I heard that the prince raised a male pet in the East Palace, but when His Majesty went to the East Palace, he happened to see the prince messing with this person, which angered His Majesty. "

"It's not because of the prince! It's because of a letter! I heard that His Majesty was furious after reading the letter. "

"Really?"

“......"

There are different opinions in the Taiji Palace, and everyone is speculating why Li Er suddenly became a dynasty.

Everyone's heart is up and down.

It has been less than a month since the reform turmoil, and it is estimated that there will be another bloody storm today, right?

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

With a shout, Li Er walked into the Taiji Hall in a hurry.

"See Your Majesty!"

The civil and military officials saluted respectfully.

"Let's be polite!"

"I have called you here today because I have a great deal to tell you. "

Li Er said with a stern gaze.

The atmosphere in the Tai Chi Hall suddenly became tense.

Everyone looked at Li Er with bated breath.

"Starting today, the 36 countries of the Western Regions have officially severed diplomatic relations with Datang. "

"Not only that, Great Qin has already become the alliance leader of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, and the lords of the countries are in the Potala Palace at this time. "

Li Er did not drag the slightest bit of mud and water, and directly announced this major event in public.

Rumble!

The Taiji Hall exploded in an instant!

"What!? How dare the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions act so boldly and recklessly and break off diplomatic relations with our Tang Dynasty without permission?"

"How can this be reasonable! It is really unreasonable! I am a great Tang Dynasty and the Heavenly Empire, and it is a great shame that those small countries have taken the initiative to cut off diplomatic relations!"

"And that Great Qin! It must have been Qin Mu who instigated him behind his back, otherwise, why did the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions break off diplomatic relations with my Tang Dynasty for no reason?"

"This is a provocation! This is a naked provocation! We Datang must not sit idly by, otherwise Tianwei will be damaged, and our great country will have to laugh and be generous. "

"Yes! We must not let Daqin go!"

Hearing the news, many officials clenched their fists and filled with righteous indignation.

In this day and age.

The basic hallmark of a great power is that it has many allies.

The Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions have always been friendly with the Tang Dynasty, and even respected Li Er as the Khan of Heaven.

All the time.

This is the thing that Li Er is most proud of.

He believes that in a hundred years, his deeds in the history books will become extremely glorious.

Think of the original pilgrimage of all nations, how spectacular is the scene?

But now!

All 36 countries in the Western Regions have severed diplomatic relations with Datang!

Moreover, all the lords of the country rushed all the way to the Potala Palace to congratulate Qin Mu in person!

What a glory is that?

And what about Datang?

Not only did none of the lords of the Western Regions come, but they also sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to ask for gold and silver!

Datang originally held a beautiful talk of congratulations from all countries, but now it has changed its nature in an instant!

No matter how you look at it, I think Datang is a big wronged man!

didn't get any benefits, but lost his wife and discounted the money!

It's a slap in the face!

And that's not all.

Datang has a vast territory and a large population.

These are advantages, but they are also disadvantages!

A large population means more bustling towns.

And those frontier areas that need to be guarded will be sparsely populated.

If you want to hold such a big country, you must have good relations with the surrounding countries.

Otherwise, people will come and rob you once today, and they will come and rob you again tomorrow.

Datang's defense line stretching for nearly 10,000 miles, how could it be fully defended?

Plainly.

The defense of the frontier depended partly on its own strength, and partly on its relations with other nations.
