Chieftain Mo Yue was very nervous. He was walking on the way to the North King's Palace under the escort of Eagle Guards. He kept thinking about what Chen Qi told him, "His Highness rarely names people when he meets them in person. This time I asked yours." Name, saying that I want to see you is an affirmation of Mo Yuecheng's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, His Highness meeting you this time is an opportunity for you, so you should seize it." So, Chief Mo Yue was on the way. At that time, I kept thinking in my heart, how big a chance will I give myself when I meet Northern King Li Ke? What can I say to satisfy the other party?
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of nowhere, Mo Yue Tusi discovered that his carriage had reached Beiwangxingyuan.
"Lord Chieftain, please get out of the car!" Eagle Guard Centurion said to Chieftain Mo Yue.
"Thank you, General!" Chief Mo Yue went to get out of the car and found several Eagle Guard soldiers and a middle-aged scribe appearing at the gate of Beiwangxingyuan.
"Xu Jingzong, the Military Affairs Sima of the Northwest Army, has met Chief Mo Yue!" Xu Jingzong stepped forward and saluted.
Originally, he did not need to salute Chieftain Mo Yue, but Xu Jingzong had his own ideas in mind. He felt that sufficient respect for Chieftain Mo Yue at this time would make him more confident in Datang's sincerity and make him less wary of Datang.
"Xu Sima has broken this old man!" Chief Mo Yue was very impressed by Xu Jingzong's etiquette, but he still quickly stepped forward to salute Xu Jingzong, expressing his humility. He was very aware of his current situation and his current situation. identity of.
"His Royal Highness is waiting for the chieftain in the main hall. Chieftain Mo Yue, please follow him!" Xu Jingzong said.
"Excuse me, Sima!" Chieftain Mo Yue said politely.
Immediately, the two of them entered the palace of the North Prince's Mansion.
The generals have been waiting for a long time in the main hall where the King of the North travels.
Chieftain Mo Yue was also a member of the Tubo noble family, but when he saw the splendidly decorated Beiwang Palace and the majestic main hall, his heart was still shaken. In fact, he knew that this mansion belonged to the chieftain of Qingtang City, but in the past he was not qualified to enter this mansion. Now walking in this mansion in person, he realized that as the chieftain of Moyue, no matter how great the chieftain was, he was How insignificant.
When he followed Xu Jingzong to the entrance of the main hall, he saw the generals in the hall sitting quietly, looking at him with a murderous look. Chief Mo Yue felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
"Master Chieftain, please come!" Xu Jingzong said politely.
"Thank you very much, Sima Xu!" Chieftain Mo Yue replied politely.
Then, he sorted out his emotions and strode into the hall.
The main hall was very vast, and both sides were filled with military generals from the Tang Dynasty, but the main seat in the middle was empty.
Chieftain Mo Yue walked into the main hall and saw that there was no one at the main seat, so he knew that Li Ke had not arrived yet. But in this situation, he didn't know what to do, neither sitting nor standing. Because, if he was sitting, he didn't know where his position was, and if he was standing, he didn't know what to do in the middle of the hall. Should the generals of the Tang Dynasty look at him like a monkey?
Just when he was feeling extremely embarrassed, he heard Zhongchang Wang shouting, "His Royal Highness Bei Wang, the Chief Superintendent of the Northwest March, has arrived¡ª¡ª"
Chieftain Mo Yue moved his eyes to the door of the hall, and saw a handsome young man in his twenties, wearing a black royal robe, walking into the hall accompanied by several guards.
"See Your Highness¡ª¡ª"
All the generals present stood up and saluted Li Ke.
"No need to be polite, please sit down!" Li Ke said lightly, strode up to the main seat of the hall and took a seat. When he took his seat, the generals took their seats for once.
And Chieftain Mo Yue is not stupid. In this situation, he and I stepped forward to salute Li Ke in time.
"Songtsan Haiqing, chieftain of Moyue City in Tubo, meets His Highness the King of the North!"
"Are you the chieftain of Moyue City? The first Tubo chieftain to surrender to the Tang Dynasty?" Li Ke asked calmly.
"It's the minister!" Chieftain Mo Yue had specially trained in the etiquette of the Central Plains, and then he answered fluently.
"Well, Chieftain Mo Yue was the first to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and played a leading role for the Tubo Chieftain. I will always remember your contribution." Li Ke said calmly, "That's why I summoned you to Qingtang City today. I just want to discuss a problem with you."
"Your Highness, please speak, I am all ears!" Chief Mo Yue said respectfully.
"I attacked Tubo just because some people in Tubo misbehaved and wanted to frame me. Also, you, the King of Tubo, had no independent opinion, listened to the villain's slander, and repeatedly launched wars against the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty had no choice but to do so. Send troops to attack Tubo." Li Ke said worriedly, "However, the Tang Dynasty never thought of occupying the land and subjects of Tubo. Tubo is still the Tubo of the Tubo people, and Tubo is still the Tubo.??Tubo under the rule of chieftains. "
When Chief Moyue heard this, his heart couldn't help but tremble. He is excited, he is excited, he is looking forward to it.
Because he heard a message from Li Ke's words, that is, the Tang Dynasty would not rule this land after capturing Luoche City, but would also hand him over to the Tubo chieftains, and the so-called Tubo chieftains here Who is it? Chieftain Mo Yue knew very well that the Tubo Chieftain here was referring to the Thirteen Chieftains who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty with Yaze City. And today, the Northern King summoned him to Qingtang City to meet him in person. Doesn't that mean he wants to
When Mo Yue Tusi thought of this, his heart beat very fast.
"His Royal Highness the North King, I will swear allegiance to Your Highness Songzan Haiqing to the death of the Tang Dynasty!" Chieftain Mo Yue began to express his loyalty, "As long as His Highness's order is given, Mo Yue will go all out to complete it, even at the expense of himself. life."
In the main hall, when the generals heard the flattery of Chief Mo Yue, they all looked at the well-dressed Tubo chieftain in front of them with contempt.
However, with the smile on Li Ke's face, he seemed to be flattered by Mo Yue Tusi.
"Chief Mo Yue -" Li Ke said earnestly, "I am very disappointed in your King Songtsen Gampo of Tubo!"
"Your Highness, as long as you give an order, Mo Yue is willing to lead his private soldiers to Luoche City and capture Songtsen Gampo alive for you first." Chieftain Mo Yue replied immediately.
"Well, you are interested. I know your loyalty, but you have other tasks now." Li Ke smiled lightly, "I want to capture the Tubo territory in the Tang Dynasty and form a new Tubo Kingdom. The name is Let¡¯s call it the Eastern Tubo Kingdom. I¡¯d like to hear your opinion. Do you have anything to suggest to me?¡±
"Your Highness¡ª" Chieftain Mo Yue was overwhelmed with excitement and his heart was trembling. He knew very well what Li Ke's purpose was in asking for his suggestion.
"Your Highness¡ª" Chief Mo Yue pondered his emotions, "The Tubo system is corrupt and it is difficult to build a country. If we want to establish a new Tubo Kingdom, we must rely on His Highness's talents and wisdom. Songtsan please be willing to assist His Highness."
"Touch Moyue¡ª¡ª" Li Ke said seriously, "This issue involves all aspects of many problems in Tubo. We cannot make fun of it. Therefore, the purpose of calling you to Qingtang City today is not only to tell you this matter, but also to tell you about this matter." The king also wants to appoint you as minister plenipotentiary to assist Military Affairs Sima Xu Jingzong in handling the important matter of founding the new Tubo nation. Are you capable of taking on this important task?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will try my best to assist Xu Sima!" Chieftain Mo Yue's heartbeat was beating fast, and he was so excited that he didn't know how to express his joy. Because he is not stupid, he knows very well that Li Ke asked him to control the establishment of the new Tubo Kingdom because he wanted to reuse him and wanted him to control the new Tubo Kingdom for him. Therefore, he is very excited now. This has been his dream and long-cherished wish for many years.
"Hey -" Li Ke sighed, "It's just that one member of the royal family is missing, otherwise the Tubo Kingdom would be justified!"
"Your Highness -" Chief Moyue said happily, "My ancestors are from the Tubo royal family. It was only because I committed a serious crime that I was relegated to Moyue City and became a little chieftain."
"Really? Are you telling the truth?" Li Ke asked happily.
"It's absolutely true, I don't dare to deceive His Highness!" Chieftain Mo Yue said sincerely.
"Okay - I will let the Yan tribe investigate this matter. As long as you prove that you are a member of the royal family and you have a strong appeal in Tubo, I can consider you to be the new king of Tubo." Li Ke said with a smile. .
"Thank you, Your Highness -" Chief Mo Yue knelt down in the main hall. He was already crying. He was happy and excited.
Because his ancestor was a member of the royal family. He failed when he competed with his brothers for the throne of Tubo, so he was relegated to Moyue City and became a little chieftain. In his heart, he always wanted to restore the legacy of his ancestors and rule Tubo. He never thought that such a destiny would be fulfilled today, how could he not be happy.
"Mo Yue Tusi, please get up. There's no need to cry. You still have a lot of things to deal with!" Li Ke said lightly.
"I accept my order!" Chieftain Mo Yue bowed and replied.
Then, under the leadership of Xu Jingzong, he bowed and exited the hall.
After Chief Mo Yue exited the hall, Li Ke discussed military affairs with the generals for a while, and then asked Xu Jingzong to write a letter to the Tang Dynasty court, explaining his views and opinions on the recent war situation in Tubo, and his support for the puppet regime and Song Dynasty. Thank you for your ideas and ideas.
