Chapter 206 You really can lie

Li You and others left Longde City and went to meet Li Chengqian and others.

On the way, Chen Ping asked curiously: "Your Highness, how did the stone tablet in front of Qingyun Temple grow by itself?"

Li You asked, "You really want to know?"

Chen Ping said: "I really want to know. I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I just can't figure it out."

Li You smiled and said, "Let me tell you, this is the secret of heaven that cannot be revealed."

Chen Ping: “…”

He was a little stunned and didn't know what to say.

Li You laughed and said, "Have you ever eaten bean sprouts?"

Chen Ping nodded and said, "I've eaten."

Li You asked, "Have you ever seen bean sprouts?"

Chen Ping suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I understand. When I was young, I saw bean sprouts. A stone was beans on a packet of beans, and they could be overturned by the swelling bean sprouts.

It turns out that beans were placed under the stone tablet. Haha, it’s amazing.”

Baihu said, "My prince is right. Everything is easy to connect with food, and it will work as soon as you eat it."

Gu Ling'er said, "Your Majesty, you are really good at lying."

Li You smiled and said, "I can't compare to you. I've been an old liar at such a young age. I'll be fine if I grow up in the future."

Gu Linger is young and plays an irreplaceable role that many adults can't replace at critical moments.

Northeast of Longde City, Tulong County.

At midnight, a general of the rebel army accompanied the liaison officer sent by Murong Qian, preparing to pick up Ge Ledan and Matian Li's army who came to surrender.

Soon, a large group of people wearing torches appeared in the northwest direction.

When those men and horses came outside Tulong County, the contact officer shouted: "Are you General Ge Ledan's troops?"

The person on the opposite side illuminated the two generals riding horses with torches and shouted: "Hurry open the city gate, here is Ge Ledan and General Madari."

The rebels opened the city gate and welcomed Ge Ledan, Matian Li and others into the city. Just as the rebels held a banquet to entertain them, Ge Ledan and others suddenly attacked and took down the leader of the rebels here.

Afterwards, Ge Ledan and Matian Li's troops escorted Murong Qian's liaison officer and continued to advance towards Longde City under the guise of surrender. Hou Junji's army followed closely behind and arrived at Longde City.

In a village 20 miles away from Longde City, Li You finally met Li Chengqian. He was the only one here, and Li Jing and others had already gone to the front to command.

When Li Chengqian saw Li You, he was very happy and stepped forward to hug him.

Li Chengqian is very excited now. At the beginning, he heard that Murong Qian's rebels had 100,000 people, and the support of the Tubo people behind them. The Tang army and Murong Bo's army did not have an advantage in their military strength.

He was very worried that he would not win this time and his life would be even more difficult in the future.

Now, the situation was developing unexpectedly smoothly, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He said, "Fifth brother, thank you for your hard work. Brother, I don't know how to thank you."

Li You smiled and said, "Brother is the prince's brother. Isn't it okay for me to serve you?"

Li Chengqian patted Li You on the shoulder with emotion and said, "Fifth brother, I have recorded your affection for your elder brother."

Li You said, "Brother, I'm here to say goodbye to you. I'm going to go back to Chang'an now."

Li Chengqian said differently: "Why are you so anxious to go back to Chang'an? I have a lot of things to discuss with you here."

Li You said: "To be honest, my father gave me a secret decree when I left Chang'an, so that I could return to Chang'an immediately after I had some insights in Tuyuhun."

Li Chengqian was a little regretful, but he knew that he could not keep Li You anymore, so he had to say goodbye to him.

After Li You left, Tuyuhun's affairs were going smoothly and there was no suspense.

Murong Gan was killed by his subordinates, and a part of the rebels was annihilated, and most of them surrendered.

Songzan was killed in Nanning, Grobi was captured, and all the Tubo people were annihilated.

The Tang Dynasty and Tuyuhun coalition forces quickly advanced to the Tuyuhun and Tubo borders, controlling all the territory of Muronggan rebels.

The Tubo army entering Tuyuhun was annihilated, and without Murong Gan's cooperation, the Tubo people lost the foundation for annexation of Tuyuhun. Songtsen Gampo faced a unified and powerful Tuyuhun supported by the Tang Dynasty. In this case, it would be meaningless to continue to torture, so he had to pinch his nose and accept it.

Tuyuhun was completely settled, and the border between Tuyuhun and Tubo also resumed peace. From then on, the western border of the Tang Dynasty entered a long-term stability.

This is a later story.

Just the day after the coalition forces captured Longde City, Murong Ling hurried to Longde City, hoping to meet Li You. However, by the time he arrived at Longde City, Li You had already returned to Chang'an.

Murong Ling asked Murong Bo and said, "He left like this, didn't he leave any more?"

Murong Bo said, "I haven't seen him either, but he sent someone to send you a letter."

As he said that, he took out the letter Li You gave her.

Murong Ling came outside, walked to a quiet ground, sat on the grass, opened Li You's letter, which read:

"Wife, my good baby, husband, I have urgent matters to do, so I won't meet you.

Waiting for me obediently, I will be back next spring.

Kiss, yes.”

Murong Ling was both happy and ashamed, but she couldn't help but shed tears.

...

Chang'an City.

Just as Li You fought in Tuyuhun, the national policy of the Tang Dynasty underwent major changes.

A few days ago, Li Shimin received a memorial from Wei Zheng, titled: Pleasing the people and calming.

Wei Zheng said in the memorial that since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, especially during the Zhenguan period, the development of the entire society has made significant progress, but the progress is still not fast enough and the country is still poor.

The most important reason is that it is caused by war and disasters, and huge losses to people's power.

In order to accelerate the development of social and economic development, we must implement a policy of pacifying the people and calmly silence, and minimize the labor and military service of the people as much as possible.

He suggested that after pacifying Tuyuhun, try to avoid border conflicts with the outside world and allow the people to have an environment for rest and recuperation.

Wei Zheng's opinion was very pertinent, hitting the nail on the head of social problems in the early years of Zhenguan, and was supported by many ministers.

The Zhenguan rule in Li Shimin's mind also hopes that the country will be prosperous and the people will live a peaceful and stable life. He also agrees with Wei Zheng's opinion.

He decided that after the Tuyuhun matter was handled, after the Tang Dynasty's western border was peaceful, he would change his tough national policy, adopt a lenient policy against neighboring countries, avoid conflicts as much as possible, and win a time for peaceful development for the country.

This day is a day of rest.

In the Imperial Garden, Li Shimin was very interested and played shuttlecock with Li Leling and Li Lizhi.

Wang De came over and said, "Your Majesty, Tang Fei, the Minister of Honglu Temple, said that Xueyantuo Khan Yi Nan had arrived in Chang'an and requested an audience."
