When Chen Qi returned to Luoxue City, he was greeted by Su Dingfang personally coming out of the city to greet him. (_¡¶¡·){¡¶¡·}However, even if Su Dingfang did this, the generals had no complaints. Because this is the honor that Chen Qi deserves. He intercepted Songtsen Gampo halfway and captured Songtsen Gampo alive. On the third day after Chen Qi captured Songtsen Gampo alive and arrived at Luoche City, Songtsan Haiqing from Pibo City and Gaoyi, the Prime Minister of Eastern Tubo, also arrived at Luoche City. The two of them were ordered by Li Ke to Li Ke asked them to go to Luoche City to stay on standby, because he also wanted to come to Luoche City. The war between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet has ended since Songtsen Gampo was captured. Li Ke came to these cities to discuss with everyone how to resettle the Tibetan people and govern Tibet.
On the fourth day when everyone gathered in Luoxu City, Li Ke rushed to Luoxu City with two thousand retinues.
On this day, at noon, Luoxue City had been under full martial law by the ghost-faced cavalry, and ten miles away from Luoxue City, Su Dingfang, Chen Qi, Songtsan Haiqing and others had been waiting for Li Ke for a long time.
When Li Ke's cavalry appeared in everyone's sight, Su Dingfang and other generals stepped forward quickly.
"See Your Highness!"
"You don't need to be polite!" Li Ke said lightly.
His body has recovered as before and he is able to ride a horse and march. This is due to Sun Simiao's superb medical skills. Because Sun Simiao calmly treated Li Ke and nursed him back to health, he recovered so quickly.
"My dear minister, please see His Royal Highness the Northern King!"
After everyone had finished saluting, Songtsan Haiqing of the Eastern Tubo Kingdom stepped forward to salute Li Ke. He called himself a junior minister, and did not regard himself as the king of Eastern Tubo at all, nor did he act like a king. Instead, he was willing to be Li Ke's subordinate. This won him favor among the generals of Li Ke's line, and also made him Li Ke felt very comfortable.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite!" Li Ke said lightly.
Immediately, he jumped off the horse, walked quickly to Songtsan Haiqing, and said with a smile, "You are now the king, so you can't be so disrespectful!"
"Your Highness is worrying too much. Everything about Hai Qing was given by His Highness. How can Hai Qing forget his roots?" Songtsan Hai Qing said sincerely, "Hai Qing has said before that he will serve His Highness all his life. How can he forget what he is today because of Can you regret your achievements?"
Li Ke didn't speak. He stared at Songtsan Haiqing for a long time. Seeing that he didn't speak, and what he said was all from the bottom of his heart, Li Ke smiled lightly and said, "I know your thoughts, and I know you." of my mind.¡±
Then, Li Ke entered Luoche City surrounded by the generals, Songtsan Haiqing and others.
In Luoxue City, because King Songtsan Haiqing of Eastern Tubo issued a series of preferential policies to benefit the people, the people were very supportive of Songtsan Haiqing's Eastern Tubo Kingdom. It was also seen that Songtsan Haiqing's Eastern Tubo Kingdom was established by Li Ke. Li Ke naturally placed Li Ke on the same level as Songtsan Haiqing. Therefore, when Li Ke and Songtsan Haiqing were walking in the capital together on the main road of Luosu City, even though there were guards with ghost-faced cavalry and sentries at every five steps and posts at ten steps, the people still knelt on the ground and shouted with Tubo They shouted long live to express Li Ke's kindness to them.
Li Ke walked to the royal road leading to the royal court, that is, to the Potala Palace. After feeling the support and love of the people, he also experienced the shouts of the Tubo King's personal guards and the Wolf Cavalry Camp. It was really I truly feel the great achievements I have made in the past few years.
When Li Ke and his entourage came to the main hall of the royal court, Li Ke sat on the throne. Songzan Haiqing accompanied him. The generals sat down. Li Ke said, "Today, I came to Luoxue City to deal with only two Two questions, first, is Songtsan Gampo; second, how to govern the Tibetan Kingdom."
The generals listened quietly to Li Ke's words.
"The first question is, since Songtsen Gampo has been captured, he must be punished for the crimes he committed against Tibet. His crimes should be handed over to the Eastern Tibetan Kingdom for trial. You are very clear about Tibetan laws. You know Songtsan Gampo. What serious crime did Zangampo commit? The second question is, how to govern the Tubo Kingdom? This is a very complicated question. I will give you a rough idea, that is, Luoxue City will be the capital of the Eastern Tubo Kingdom in the future. , the east of Luoche City will belong to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the west of Luoche City will belong to the territory of the Eastern Tubo Kingdom." Li Ke said this, glanced at Songtsan Haiqing, and saw that his expression did not change, so he continued. , "Also, the Tubo people east of Luoxe City must move to the west of Luoxe City. The Tang Dynasty will implement relocation work on the land east of Luoxe City that belongs to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and some Han and Turks will be relocated. People, we can¡¯t let the Tubo people live.¡±
"As for how to govern Tubo, this will be a problem for the Eastern Tubo Kingdom, but one thing I want to make clear is that although we have captured Songtsen Gampo himself, his son Tulong and several ministers have fled to Zedang City, the birthplace of Tibet, has a complicated geography and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, we must solve Tulong as soon as possible. We cannotLet him develop and grow in Zedang. This task will be handed over to the Eastern Tubo Kingdom to destroy it. Datang will assist you. "Li Ke continued.
"Nuo¡ª¡ª" Songtsan Haiqing accepted the order.
"Do you have any other questions?" Li Ke continued to ask.
¡°No¡ª¡± the generals replied.
"Then let's break up!" Li Ke said lightly. He also felt a little tired and needed to rest.
When the generals dispersed, Li Ke entered the inner courtyard to rest.
Songtsen Haiqing and Prime Minister Gaoyi joined forces with Xu Jingzong, and the three of them began to list the crimes of Songtsen Gampo.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It¡¯s not easy to list the crimes for you.¡± What's more, there is Xu Jingzong who likes conspiracy and conspiracy?
Therefore, after careful planning and careful deliberation, the three men finally determined the ten major crimes of Songtsen Gampo.
The crime was confirmed, and according to Tibetan law, Songtsen Gampo would be executed by beheading.
As soon as Songtsen Gampo's charges were announced and he would be beheaded in three days, the people of Luoxue City were in an uproar. They did not expect that the dignified former king of Tibet would also be beheaded. At this time, they realized how powerful His Highness the Northern King of the Tang Dynasty was. In their hearts, Songtsan Gambo was already the supreme being. Now that the Northern King Li Ke wanted to kill this supreme man, what kind of existence was he? ?
During these three days, Li Ke visited Songtsen Gampo once.
The two of them didn¡¯t talk much in the Tubo dungeon.
At that time, when Li Ke went to visit Songtsan Gampo, Songtsan Gampo behaved very calmly.
"You're finally here!" Songtsen Gampo said calmly.
"I have to come!" Li Ke replied.
"Will you be good to her?" Songtsen Gampo asked.
Li Ke was silent.
"She was forced!" Songtsen Gampo continued, "No matter what, she is still your wife!"
"But, you forgot one thing, she murdered her husband!" Li Ke said coldly.
"You don't forgive her?" Songtsen Gampo asked.
"As long as she can forgive herself, why does she need my forgiveness?" Li Ke said, "If she hadn't listened to you and done such a wrong thing, would Tubo have been destroyed? Would you have had such an end? "
"¡ª¡ª" Songtsen Gampo was silent. He didn't know how to answer Li Ke.
After a while, he said to Li Ke, "Will I be executed?"
"No one wants you to live!" Li Ke said.
"Can you do it yourself?" Songtsen Gampo begged.
"I won't-" Li Ke answered affirmatively.
"Why?" Songtsen Gampo asked puzzledly.
"Someone will end your life, but that person is not me!" Li Ke replied.
"Why not you?" Songtsen Gampo said angrily, "Why didn't I die in your hands?"
"I don't kill anyone anymore. No one is worthy of me doing it myself, unless someone threatens my life!" Li Ke replied lightly.
Songtsen Gampo stopped talking, he was silent. Because the answer Li Ke gave him was already very clear, and the meaning of Li Ke's words was obvious, that is, he was not qualified to let Li Ke do it himself, and only those who threatened Li Ke could accompany Li Ke to do it himself.
"You can leave!" After a while, Songtsen Gampo said coldly.
"Enjoy these three days of life!" After Li Ke finished speaking, he left the dungeon without looking back.
