The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

"Marquis of Zhao County, you are happy to have a new home and your wedding is about to take place. I would like to congratulate you in advance!" As soon as he saw Zhao Chen, Li Chengqian cupped his hands with Zhao Chen and smiled.

The words did not sound like a conspiracy in the court.

Zhao Chen had never had a good look at Li Chengqian before in the court, and this was his first formal meeting.

Compared with the fat guy Li Tai, Li Chengqian is still better-looking.

As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, Zhao Chen saw a joking smile on Li Tai's face.

It seems that the two sons of Lao Litou's family are really not that worry-free.

He said something to Li Chengqian and invited them to sit down.

In fact, there was no need for the two of them to explain clearly. Zhao Chen also knew why the two of them came to him. .??.

Li Chengqian was thinking about his position, and the people in his hands were dealt with by him again and again.

This made him hate himself and at the same time desperately wanted his help.

Although Li Tai didn't say it, he must have had this in mind.

Otherwise, Chai Lingwu would not have appeared at the same time outside Duke Wei's mansion that day.

It's just that Zhao Chen has no intention of meddling in their affairs.

"Marquis Zhaoxian, I apologize to you for the previous misunderstandings." What is somewhat surprising is that Li Chengqian did not directly establish relations with Zhao Chen, but first apologized to Zhao Chen.

Li Tai curled his lips and said with a smile, "Marquis of Zhao County, my father has appointed you as the gentleman of Chang'an Academy. That means you are Li Tai's husband. If Tai has any questions about his academic work in the future, he will definitely come to bother you."

"Sir, please don't bother Li Tai."

Li Tai's speaking skills are obviously better than Li Chengqian's, otherwise he wouldn't be able to coax the emperor around.

Now I found an excuse to come to Zhao Chen's house more often in the future.

Even Li Chengqian on the side was stunned and looked a little ugly.

The words in his mouth were also stuck in his throat, and he didn't know how to say them out.

It's hard for him to say, Li Tai is right, he will come here often in the future?

"In his position, he should be responsible for his own affairs. If you have any questions about study, you can ask him at any time." Zhao Chen smiled slightly, thinking highly of Li Tai.

"Then thank you sir. The academy is starting today, so there won't be many students here. Mr. Zhao, Brother Huang, I'll go over first!" Li Taihan said to the two of them with a smile, then turned around and left the house.

His purpose of coming here today has already been achieved.

stay

Here, there is no need.

He had watched the prince's jokes for countless times, and he no longer had that feeling in his heart.

As soon as Li Tai left, Li Chengqian naturally had no reason to stay here, so he held hands with Zhao Chen and left with him.

"Zhao Chen, King Wei has been favored by His Majesty in the past two years, and now he has exceeded the rules. I am afraid that the court will not be peaceful in the future!" Qin Huaiyu and Zhao Chen whispered.

Even he could see that the Crown Prince was at odds with the King of Wei, but what about the courtiers in the hall?

…

The opening of Chang'an Academy was undoubtedly a major event in the Tang Dynasty.

This means that the academy, which is independent of the Imperial College, has been officially established from today.

The selection of talents controlled by the aristocratic family has since given another way out.

Zhao Chen just took a look and was called into the palace by the emperor's edict.

Cheng Yaojin personally brought people here. From the looks of it, the situation was very urgent.

As soon as he entered Ganquan Hall, Zhao Chen smelled a dangerous aura.

Old Li Tou sat on the dragon couch and looked at Fang Xuanling and others in front of him expressionlessly.

There was complete silence in the Ganquan Hall, not even anyone's breathing could be heard.

The little eunuch and the emperor's voices trembling slightly when they said Zhao Chen was here.

What happened?

"Zhao Chen has met His Majesty!" Zhao Chen quickly walked to the center of the hall and said with Li Shimin holding hands.

When Fang Xuanling and others heard the sound, they all turned their heads and looked over, with a hint of expectation in their eyes.

The emperor raised his head and saw Zhao Chen standing in front of him.

"Zhao Chen, this is the military report from Songzhou, take a look!" Li Shimin just said lightly, and the eunuch on the side quickly sent a copy of the report to Zhao Chen.

With just one glance, Zhao Chen felt a little confused.

Songtsan Gampo of Tubo actually launched an attack on Songzhou of Tang Dynasty at this time.

Battle of Songzhou!

If Zhao Chen remembers this war correctly, it should have happened two years later.

I didn’t want to arrive this early!

Although since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, various internal and external wars have never stopped.

Lao Li is really greedy for the land of other countries.

Of course it’s not just the land.

As a standard farmer, Old Li Tou never intended to let go of the neighboring countries' population, cattle, sheep, treasures, etc.

But this time, not long after the Tang Dynasty wiped out Tuyuhun, it was killed by a small Tubo.

Songtsen Gampo, Zampu of Tibet, was very capable.

He succeeded to the throne at the age of thirteen. Over the years, he made friends with distant people and attacked closely, and fought with both left and right. Finally, in the sixth year of Zhenguan, Tubo was unified.

Since the unification of Tibet, the Tang Dynasty has been a close neighbor of Tibet, and Songtsan Gampo is not ambiguous at all.

He sent envoys to Tang several times.

On the surface, it is an agreement that the two countries will have good relations from generation to generation and will not invade each other.

Even a few months ago, Lu Dongzan came here and was cordially received by the emperor.

Of course, only he knew whether Lu Dongzan was happy or unhappy when he returned.

Ultimately, the reason why Tubo started war against Tang Dynasty started with Lu Dongzan leading the mission back to Tibet.

Lu Dongzan was embarrassed in front of Zhao Chen.

Although it didn't sound good to say it out loud, he couldn't hide it when facing Songtsen Gampo.

Zhao Chen, a teenage boy, asked Lu Dongzan to return in vain, but he was really angry at Songtsen Gampo.

If that was all, forget it. If Songtsen Gampo was angry, he would have to keep it in his stomach.

Who would have known that the envoy Li Shimin sent to Tubo to pay a return visit would not be able to speak at all.

Because I had seen Lu Dongzan frequently deflate in front of Zhao Chen before, and Songtsan Gambo also hosted banquets for him.

If you drink too much, you won't be able to speak at all.

On the day of the banquet, the envoy from the Tang Dynasty to Tubo held a wine glass, got drunk and muttered in front of Songtsen Gampo.

Speaking of Turks, Tuyuhun, and Goguryeo outside of Tubo, their leaders and monarchs all married Tang princesses.

However, only Zanpu from Tubo had never been married to the Tang Dynasty, and his words were somewhat joking.

Songtsen Gampo kicked over the table at that time, took a whip and fired Wushuang at the envoy of the Tang Dynasty.

Lu Dongzan

This time I went to the Tang Dynasty, one of which was to marry the Princess of the Tang Dynasty for Songtsen Gampo.

But who would have expected that when he met Zhao Chen, he didn't take advantage of him at all, and he was severely slapped in the face several times.

Now this damn envoy of the Tang Dynasty actually dared to mention this matter in front of him.

If a tiger doesn't show off its power, does it think it's Mickey Mouse?

Turks, Tuyuhun, Goguryeo!

They were all betrothed to princesses, except Tubo Zampo Songtsen Gampo!

There is no need for him to say more about what the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty meant!

Songtsen Gampo felt that he had been severely insulted.

Songtsen Gampo wanted revenge, and he wanted to take revenge severely.

In other words, after several years of hard work, Songtsan Gambo felt that he could do it!

The Songzhou War, which was supposed to break out two years later, actually broke out earlier than expected because of Zhao Chen.

On December 25, the ninth year of Zhenguan, Songtsen Gampo led an army of 150,000 troops to Songzhou City on the border of the Tang Dynasty.

He also threatened, "The envoys of the Tang Dynasty humiliated me, Tubo, and consecrated them to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. After doing this, the whole Tibetans united as one and marched into Chang'an City to demand an explanation."

A war of invasion was disguised as a just war to safeguard dignity amid Tibet's unilateral rhetoric.

If it was just like this, Old Li Tou wouldn't be so angry.

What made him angry was that when the war just started, Han Wei, the governor of Songzhou in the Tang Dynasty, not only did not stick to the city and wait for reinforcements, but instead rushed in rashly and led his troops out of the city.

As a result, they were defeated by the Tubo army.

Countless people abandoned their helmets and armor, and barely fled back to Songzhou City. They were in panic all day long.

Fortunately, the urgent military intelligence report was sent.

The Tang Dynasty had just wiped out Tuyuhun a few months ago, and its military force was at its peak.

In addition, the emperor has recently received help from Zhao Chen, and the Tang Dynasty can be said to be in peace and prosperity, and Old Li Tou is very satisfied with his ambition.

Since the destruction of Dong Tu Jue in the north, Xue Yantuo, who succeeded Dong Tu Jue, has not seen much movement.

Although the sudden invasion of Tibet was surprising and angry, it was not alarming.

Li Shimin was completely confident and gave Songtsen Gampo a hard slap.

"Why did Your Majesty ask me for such a major military and national event?" After reading the memorial, Zhao Chen didn't quite understand what Li Shimin meant.
