Chapter 1367 I Didn't Threaten You
Songtsen Gampo pursed his lips and wanted to refute, but in the end he didn't know what to refute.
Glancing at Songtsan Gampo's expression, Chen Xuanzang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is actually something I could have said in advance, but I didn't say it. The main reason is that I want to have a sincere exchange with you, Your Majesty."
"What's the matter?" Songtsan Gampo's tone was not so blunt anymore, because Chen Xuanzang said something very reasonable.
"Your Majesty should know that Datang has completely won the entire Goguryeo. After all, this battle report has already been reported by the Datang Weekly near Yuzhang Port, and it is not difficult to get a newspaper given the degree of attention His Majesty has paid to Datang."
"But I don't think Your Majesty knows how long the Tang Dynasty has been used?" Chen Xuanzang said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Songtsan Gampo frowned.
"Two months." Chen Xuanzang stretched out two fingers.
"It only took the Tang Dynasty two months to capture the entire Goguryeo. In the early stage, the Tang Dynasty only mobilized troops to the front line. From the time the Tang Dynasty started the first step of the offensive, to the Tang Dynasty completely conquering Goguryeo, it only took two months."
"I swear on my personal honor about this matter. If I, Chen Xuanzang, lie, not only will I be struck by thunder and die without a burial place, but my family and future generations will also be the same." Chen Xuanzang swore with a calm face. road.
Songtsan Gampo's complexion finally changed.
Goguryeo's powerful Songtsan Gampo knew it, not to mention anything else, Goguryeo had resisted the attack of the former Sui million army three times, and Goguryeo itself had hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers.
Whether it is combat power, population, land area, or even various technologies such as iron smelting, it is far higher than that of Tubo.
two months? !He didn't know what to say, because according to his thinking, for a country of Goguryeo's level, it would take two months for the army to advance, right?
Although it is said that Datang is attacking from two directions, or even three directions, the speed is too fast!
And what about the many cities in Goguryeo? Are those cities made of paper?
But Chen Xuanzang swears so much, which means that this matter is likely to be true, because it is almost impossible for this kind of news to be faked, and it will spread out sooner or later!
So, can Songtsan Gampo's complexion remain unchanged?Not to mention the Songtsan cadres, even Shang Xiang, Lun Keer and others who had been listening all the time changed their complexions drastically. With such a speed and time, how powerful is Datang's military strength?
The point is, Chen Xuanzang mentioned a point before, after Datang took Goguryeo, it means that Datang has no enemies in the hinterland, and all the land will be the land of Datang, including Silla and Baekje. Directly choose to store into the land of Datang.
What else is there to say?Needless to say, after the Tang Dynasty has no enemies, it means that the Tang Dynasty can dispatch hundreds of thousands of troops to the west at any time, but they have lost their former natural moat!plateau!
The places named Qinghai-Tibet Prefecture and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau by Datang used to be their greatest reliance, but now they cannot go back there.
"Even if that's the case, so what?" Songtsan Gampo was completely stubborn.
Because he actually thought of countless ways in his heart, but he couldn't think of a way to resist Datang.
"Actually, Your Majesty, some thoughts deep in your heart have never turned around. Why don't we think about it from a different angle, and the same is true of all the prime ministers." Chen Xuanzang looked at the other prime ministers who were listening, and then smiled. up.
"Your Majesty, let me say a few points first. People living in this world are nothing more than fame and wealth. Let me not talk about benefits. After all, Your Majesty is also the king of a country."
"Let me talk about the name first. Your Majesty once said that he wanted to develop Tubo and become the founding king. Can I think that His Majesty wants a reputation, a reputation of Tubo, to lead Tubo to a powerful reputation? The reputation of the founding emperor, no Wrong?" Chen Xuanzang looked at him and asked.
Songtsan Gampo frowned slightly. Although it was a bit straightforward to say that, there was no one else here, so Songtsan Gampo nodded: "You can say that, that's right."
"It's very simple. Regardless of your majesty or the prime ministers, if you want to develop and expand Tubo, it must not be for the Tubo people, right? If it is for the Tubo people, then they will not be called serfs. "Chen Xuanzang added lightly.
Shang Xiang, Lun Keer and the others didn't answer the conversation. There is no need to quibble about such a matter that everyone knows, even Songtsan Gampo would not quibble about it.
"You see, in this state, since it is for the sake of fame, if you want to record your reputation, whether it is history books or other methods, you must use the characters of Tang Dynasty to record it."
"But let me put it harshly. Let alone whether you Tubo can continue, even if it lasts for your generation, when the next generation is destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, the history books you left behind will be destroyed by the Tang Dynasty at will. Where will your reputation be from now on?" Chen Xuanzang said calmly.
"This...isn't it." Songtsan Gampo couldn't hold back, frowned and said, "Don't the historians of the Tang Dynasty not even change the emperor's daily life note? And the Tang Dynasty has been handed down. In the history books, there are quite a few things recorded about hostile countries."
"Look, Your Majesty, you are very clear about this, don't you? That is to say, both His Majesty and the prime ministers agree that only the Central Plains dynasties like the Tang Dynasty can pass on these historical books. Am I right?" Chen Xuanzang smiled asked.
As soon as Chen Xuanzang's words came out, Songtsen Gampo and others fell silent. This was not their acquiescence, but the fact.From ancient times to the present, starting from the bamboo slips of various historical books, the Central Plains Dynasty using Chinese characters has been passed down through the ages.
But what about these small countries around it?There are almost no problems. Only in the history books of the Central Plains Dynasty can we find a few records about them.
If there were no records in the history books of the Central Plains Dynasty, these small countries would have been annihilated in the history books long ago, and there would be no word of mouth.
Just like Tubo, before the establishment of Tubo, there were people living on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and they might even have lived for 2000 years, but what did these tribes have?There is nothing at all, and Songtsan Gampo, who was also born as a tribal leader, knows it very well.
His own tribe didn't record much about his predecessor, and he only knew about his grandfather, not even about his great-grandfather.
Because there are no words, no records.
So what Chen Xuanzang said is not something difficult to understand or accept, because it is the truth!
