Chapter 1639： : Tubo proclaims its vassal, full of doubts

Three days passed quickly.

At noon that day, Li Chengfeng changed into the royal clothes early, and came to the outside of Chang'an City together with all civil and military officials.

According to the news of the bad guys, the envoys will arrive in about a quarter of an hour.

"Feng'er, what do you think of the visit of the Tubo Mission?"

Sitting on the dragon chariot, Li Shimin turned his head to look at Li Chengfeng.

In the past few days, he has discussed with Du Ruhui and several ministers every day.

However, they couldn't figure out the purpose of the Tubo Mission's mission to Datang this time.

After Li Chengfeng experienced several border wars, he should have a better understanding of the Jianghu affairs.

Li Shimin wanted to ask his opinion even more.

Li Chengfeng crossed his arms and sat on the horse beside the dragon chariot.

He was also a little uncertain this time.

It stands to reason that the dispatch of envoys from the two countries is always when there are major events.

But the two countries had already signed a covenant before, the two sides had ceased fighting, and there was no need for negotiation.

From the point of view of the forces in the Jianghu, the Great Tang practiced Taoism, and the Bodhi Court did not work at all.

Of course, Li Chengfeng still has his own ideas about the envoys sent by Tubo this time.

"If I were Songtsen Gampo, there would only be one reason for sending the envoys here at this time."

"That is they who have just ended the civil strife and need enough time to rectify their internal affairs."

"I'm afraid the main purpose of the envoys' visit this time is to present treasures, and stabilize Datang first!"

Li Shimin nodded deeply.

The recent battle between Datang and the bilateral Turks has just ended, which proves the abundant martial arts of Datang.

But this is exactly what he wants. Now that the Tang Dynasty has just ended the battle, the people in the country also need time to cultivate.

Tubo has a vast land and few people, so even if it is defeated, it is not worthwhile.

"Last time they offered to make a marriage proposal, but I didn't agree."

"I don't know what will be sent over this time?"

…

As soon as the two finished speaking, a group of dark figures came from a distance.

"Stop coming!"

Li Jingce, who was wearing armor, immediately stepped forward and stopped the moving convoy.

The convoy of the Tubo Mission stopped immediately, and the old man who led the team, Gong Chengtong, brought Turta to Li Jing.

"I have seen the general, we are envoys sent by the great Songtsan Gampo."

"These are holy monks from the Holy Land of Tubo, who came with us to present treasures to His Majesty."

Gong Chengtong bowed deeply, his attitude was extremely humble, and he always had a smile on his face.

Li Jing's sharp eyes scanned the two of them, and then looked at the monks beside the carriage.

"Search!" He ordered the soldiers around him with a light drink, and went forward to search a few people.

Although Tubo and Datang ushered in a short-term peace at this time, these people are all masters of the rivers and lakes and have to be guarded against.

When the soldiers searched, Li Chengfeng, who was sitting on the dragon chariot, had quietly come to the carriage.

The coffin-like box on the carriage was exquisitely decorated.

Through the exquisite box composed of red and blue agate stones, he felt a familiar energy contained in it.

He is very familiar with this kind of energy fluctuation.

He also felt the same energy near the space-time fragments of Qianshan before.

"What the **** is in here?"

Li Chengfeng drew out the sword at his waist, and was about to cut off the iron chains.

At this moment, a thick golden Zen stick stood in front of him, blocking the long sword in Li Chengfeng's hand.

"This benefactor, this is given to His Majesty by our great Khan, don't act rashly!"

An old monk appeared in front of Li Chengfeng with a smiling face, reciting the Buddha's name.

The heavy force from the Zen staff made Li Chengfeng's pupils dilate a lot.

…

He has reached the Dao Realm and is not far away, and he has broken through the Heavenly Demon Art he practiced.

With his natural supernatural power, he might not be able to resist some weak Dao realms.

But the old monk in front of him not only blocked his attack, but was even much stronger than himself?

When the two were in a stalemate, the shadow came to Li Chengfeng's side.

"Bold! Your envoys dare to attack the king!"

Seeing that the situation began to take a turn for the worse, Li Jing led his soldiers to firmly surround the Tubo envoys.

This is Chang'an, not their Tubo.

As long as they dared to make a move, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and the priests of the Li family hiding around would immediately rush forward.

At this time, the envoy named Gong Chengtong came over and stopped the old monk.

"Your Highness, we have no malice towards you."

"It's just that the contents inside are extremely precious, and it's a gift specially prepared by our Great Khan for His Majesty."

"Your Highness, please be patient, it will be revealed naturally when the time comes."

The two countries are not at war, let alone the two countries are living in peace now.

What's more, the other party has stated that this is a gift for Li Shimin, and he can't force it to open it.

Li Chengfeng put away the long sword in his hand, and the two sides dispersed again.

"Then I'll wait and see what rare treasures are inside!"

After speaking, Li Chengfeng came to the side of the dragon's carriage again, quietly watching Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling receive the envoys.

After some simple reception procedures, the two parties retreated to the city.

After placing the things brought by the envoys properly, a group of people came to the palace hall.

…

"The servant of Tubo, Gong Chengtong, pays homage to His Majesty the Tang Dynasty!"

Gongcheng Tong and Turta fell to the ground with a bow.

"Stay flat! Give me a seat!" Li Shimin said slowly on the dragon chair.

The servant placed the emperor's stool, and the two sat under the throne.

"Your Majesty, we have come here this time to bring you the letter of credence written by Khan."

Gong Chengtong took out a gold-edged letter from his sleeve and handed it to the servant.

While Li Shimin was reading the letter, Gong Chengtong spoke again.

"Your Majesty, in addition to this letter of credence, our Khan asked me to bring a sentence."

"Tubo and Tang Dynasty have a close relationship, and the two countries are friendly neighbors, and the Khan admires His Majesty's reputation even more."

"This is the highest-level Hada of our clan. From now on, His Majesty will be the co-lord of the two countries, and also the Heavenly Khan of our Tubo!"

Gong Chengtong held a white khata with both hands, stepped forward two steps and knelt down under the steps of the throne.

"Please hurry up, I, Tang Dynasty, am not a warlike person."

"Since you want to make friends with each other,"

After reading the letter of credence, Li Shimin smiled happily.

The content of the letter is similar to what Gong Chengtong said.

Tubo not only regards itself as the Khan of Heaven in name, but also pays tribute every year and hands over coins every year.

On the side, Li Chengfeng's face was even more puzzled.

Tubo is not the other two Turks.

Although they have just integrated domestic forces, they must still have the power to fight!

Why so groveling?

And if you sincerely want to pay tribute, why send so many high-level warriors?

…

There are too many doubts in it, which makes him deeply puzzled.

In the history he knew well, Songtsen Gampo was not a mediocre monarch.

The Tubo nation is an existence that the Tang Dynasty has not completely suppressed for many years.

"I'm afraid there are other reasons behind this incident!"

…
