After the new emperor ascended the throne, the imperial capital celebrated for seven days. After Zhang took office as the Jingzhao Yin, all work was carried out well. Now the army is no longer needed to maintain public order in Chang'an City, everything is in order. The people and the people have been having fun on the celebration day for several days, and there are no riots or cases.

During these days, Li Shimin also received envoys and court officials from all over the country in the Linde Hall of Taiji Palace. He ate a banquet every day and gave a cup of wine and drinks, and he really became the emperor of wine and meat for several days. Envoys came to Nanzhao in the south, the Eastern Nv Kingdom, the Piao Kingdom, and the Silla in the east of the Uighurs in the north.

Only the Tubo envoys were not seen. In short, Shang Jiezan was released for several months. If the Tubo people were willing to join the alliance, they should send people to come at this time.

Li Shimin secretly felt a little dissatisfied: Chisong Dezan, could you really be determined to waste your time with me and continue to fight regardless of the consequences?

As a result, Chisong Dezan was certainly not such a fool and reckless person. On the sixth day of celebration, more than 30 Tubo envoys finally arrived in Chang'an and went to the palace to pay homage to the new emperor.

In Linde Hall, Li Shimin sat high on the dragon throne, with all the civil and military officials standing beside him. He looked at the Tubo envoy who came forward through the twelve pearl curtains, and couldn't help but smile in his heart: The person who came was still an acquaintance, haha!

The Tubo envoy raised his head and strode forward, raised his eyes and looked up, which happened to meet Li Shimin's sharp gaze. The envoy quickly lowered his head, stroked his chest with one hand and bowed down to salute: "The Tubo envoy Shang Xidongzan, and came to congratulate the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty on his ascension to the throne, Long live the Emperor, Long live, Long live!"

Li Sheng, who was standing beside him, sneered and said, "Shang Xidongzan, since you are a diplomatic envoy, you should understand the etiquette of my Tang Dynasty. Why don't you worship him when you see His Majesty the Emperor?"

"This!..." Shang Xidongzan glanced at the person who was talking, recognized it as Li Sheng, and felt a little scared in his heart. He hesitated for a moment. He bent his legs and knelt down and said again: "Tubo envoy Shang Xidongzan, on the order of Chisongzanpu, came to congratulate the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for ascending the throne, Long live the Emperor, Long live, Long live!"

Li Shimin smiled slightly: "Don't give me a gift, I'll be calm. The person who comes will give Shang Xidongzan a seat and a wine."

Shang Xidongzan then stood up with relief, bent down and thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor."

"Shang Xidongzan, I haven't seen you for a long time. Don't you be fine?" Li Shimin said with a smile, "Is Chisongzanpu okay recently?"

Shang Xidongzan was slightly stunned and replied, "I have asked His Majesty the Emperor to be blessed, I have always been very good. Chisongzan Pufu is higher than the sky, just as strong as an eagle on the plateau."

"That's good." Li Shimin smiled and said, "After farewell from Dajinchuan, I have never met Chisongzanpu for some years, and I am very worried about him. Shang Xidongzan, you have traveled thousands of miles to my Tang Dynasty. Thank you all the hard way. Please stay at Honglu Temple later. I will let them entertain you well and ensure that you are at home."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shang Xidongzan felt a little uneasy. First, he was captured alive by the emperor in front of him during the First Battle of Xichuan. Second, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty intended to talk about the farewell of Dajinchuan, which meant that Chisong Dezan abandoned his army and fled during the Second Battle of Xichuan. These two things were both shameful to the Tubo people. Shang Xidongzan felt a little frustrated and lacked confidence. On the contrary, all the officials and officials in the Tang Dynasty were proud and proud.

Shang Xidongzan suppressed his dissatisfaction and depression and said calmly: "Chesongzanpu sent his ministers to come. First, he congratulated His Majesty the Emperor on ascending the throne and appointed him to send gifts to His Majesty the Emperor, the imperial concubine, the prince and the prince. Please allow His Majesty the Emperor to offer the gifts."

Li Shimin nodded: "Accurate."

Shang Xidongzan walked to the gate of Linde Hall and raised his hand outside. The five Tubo followers each walked up with a box. Shang Xidongzan picked up the first long and flat box and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, this is a gift from Chi Songzanpu to earn to you---a treasure bow. When Chi Songzanpu asked His Majesty the Emperor to meet outside the city of Victoria, the Emperor's Earth Shooting made Chi Songzanpu admire him very much. In our Tubo, the precious swords and carved bows have never been earned to be given to the real warriors--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ju Wenzhen walked up quickly, took the box in Shang Xidongzan's hand and opened it in public. It was indeed a colorful gem bow with excellent and gorgeous craftsmanship. Even Li Sheng nodded and praised it after seeing it: "It's indeed a good bow."

Li Shimin sat upright on the dragon chaise and smiled slightly: "Thank you for Chisong Zanpu's kindness."

Shang Xidongzan bent down humbly and returned the gift, picked up two other boxes, took out two dazzling necklaces from them, and said, "This is a ground necklace made of our Tubo specialty agate stone and handmade gold and silver silk. The gem pendant below is as big as the pendant of our Tubo Princess. In Tubo, there are only two such large gems. Chi Songzanpu specially presented these two necklaces to the two beloved concubines of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to express his feelings."

Everyone looked at the two necklaces, which were indeed extremely gorgeous, and they must be priceless. The two blue gems under the necklace are transparent and bright, and they must be not ordinary. Moreover, the necklaces of Tubo people are much larger than those in the Central Plains, with a bit of rough atmosphere and a unique flavor.

"Thank you." Li Shimin still smiled faintly, making Ju Wenzhen accept these two generous gifts.

In addition, the gifts given to the prince and the princes were nothing more than gold, silver and jewelry, and some amulets sought from the Tubo temple. It can be seen that Chisong Dezan had put some effort into preparing these gifts.

Li Shimin was secretly wondering in his heart: When did the Tubo people become so generous? Over the past few decades, they have taken the initiative to offer treasures except for constantly extorting things from Tang Ting? It seems that this time, they have come here with something.

"Shang Xidongzan, please reply to Chisongzanpu. I like the gift he gave to him very much. Later, I will send Ju Wenzhen, the chief supervisor of the Imperial Palace, to prepare a return gift for you, and also to Chisongzanpu and his family." Li Shimin said, "Please reply to Chisongzanpu. I hope that our two countries can give up their past grudges and live in peace from now on."

Shang Xidongzan bent down and bowed down, and said solemnly: "I will convey the words of His Majesty the Emperor to Chisongzanpu. The second purpose of my visit is to make an alliance with the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. Chisongzanpu asked me to tell His Majesty the Emperor that I, Tubo, are very sincere in this time of the alliance between the land and the Tubo. I hope the Tang Dynasty can also accept it."

"Very good." Li Shimin raised his lips, smiled slightly, and said, "The two countries will be able to resolve their wars forever from now on. This is a major event that benefits the country, the people and the people and the future. Our Tang Dynasty has always advocated peace and loved peace. We have a clear attitude towards the alliance - we agree very well."

"Your Majesty the Emperor!" Shang Xidongzan bowed respectfully, spread his arms out like a pilgrimage, and his front half prostrated to the ground, shouting: "Long live, long live, long live!"

All the officials and workers in the court also bowed together: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"No gifts and calmness." Li Shimin stood up from the dragon throne. He stretched out his arms to let everyone get up. After Shang Xidongzan stood up, Li Shimin said to him: "Shang Xidongzan, about the matter of alliance, we must not be hasty. We must make a detailed alliance treaty, so that we can also have a restraint and alert to both sides in the future. In the next few days, I will ask you to stay in Honglu Temple for a few days. I will send the prime minister and ministers of Hongwenguan to discuss the rules of alliance with you. I wonder what you think?"

"I listen to all the orders of His Majesty the Emperor." Shang Xidongzan bowed, then looked up at the high emperor with some hesitation, and said, "At the time of departure, Chisongzan also instructed me to me to ask me to mention it when discussing the alliance."

Li Shimin frowned slightly: "But it's okay to say it."

Shang Xidongzan swallowed, bent down to look at his toes, and said, "Chesongzanpu has a son who is fifteen years old and is not married yet. Chisongzanpu knows that the Tang women are beautiful and generous, and the princess of the Li family is even more warm, gentle, erudite and talented. He is currently interested in hiring His Majesty the Emperor. He invites His Majesty the Emperor to marry a royal family woman into Tubo as the official family of the Tubo prince."

"Good marriage?" The court officials whispered these two words almost at the same time, which immediately caused a slight commotion.

Li Shimin also frowned, raised his hands and said calmly: "Marriage is a family matter for children. But if it involves diplomacy between the two countries, it is a major matter for the country. Shang Xidongzan, please allow me to discuss this matter with the Supreme Emperor and the elders of the royal family after going to court, so that I can answer you. Before that, you can rest at the Honglu Temple with peacekeeping. The prime ministers and ministers of Hongwenguan will also come to you to discuss the details of the peacekeeping rules."

Shang Xidongzan's heart thumped, and at this time he hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" He understood that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is no longer the bullying soft-boy before. The emperor did not angrily reject it on the spot, but he was already shouting in his heart that he was lucky. Will this strong and domineering king agree to Chisongzanpu's request? Two heroes of the world fight, but they put me, a poor man, in the middle, and suffer. It's really hard to say...

The state affairs negotiations came to an end. A banquet was held in Linde Hall, and a sing and dancing became peaceful. Shang Xidongzan's hanging heart gradually fell back and he began to appreciate the singing and dancing with peace of mind. After several beauties had performed the dance ceremony, they suddenly changed into a group of armored soldiers, and each of them danced military dance with swords and halberds. The tune was also replaced by passionate military music.

Shang Xidongzan felt a little surprised, thinking that he had met the Hongmen Banquet. At this moment, Wu Yuanheng came up to toast. After the two of them drank a glass, Wu Yuanheng said, "Sir Shang Xidongzan, how about this song?"

"Well, this... is majestic, wonderful. It has a military atmosphere." Shang Xidongzan said in a hurried and embarrassed manner. "As an envoy, I have been to the Tang Dynasty several times. This is the first time I have seen such a majestic singing and dancing. Every time I come to see the place I see is a slow dance of beauty."

Wu Yuanheng smiled and said, "It is reasonable that Lord Shang Xidongzan has never seen it. Even here, it is the first time I have seen it. This is a widely circulated dance music "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Formation" in my Tang Dynasty. During the Tianbao period, this song was modified into a feminine and gorgeous dance music by Emperor Xuanzong who was good at music compiling, and the dancers were also dancers in the court. After the emperor ascended the throne, he personally composed the music and adapted the dance, allowing 128 soldiers to participate in "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Formation" and the music of two thousand soldiers outside the hall beating drums. This seems to make people return to the time of Zhenguan in the early Tang Dynasty!"

"Is this the real "Qin King Breaks the Formation Music"?" Shang Xidongzan said in amazement, "According to legend, this is what Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty passed down... After more than a hundred years, he could actually witness the real "Qin King Breaks the Formation Music" dance music! His Majesty the Emperor can even compose music and choreography, he is really a genius of the world!"

Wu Yuanheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty's civil and military skills and poetry and paintings are not inferior to anyone. His flying white book made Jiang Gongfu and Kong Chaofu, the great scholars of the dynasty, amazed and exclaimed that they had the charm of Emperor Taizong. Even the palace musicians who played the piano music with the imperial concubine were ashamed of him. Therefore, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is really unattainable. Shang Xidongzan bent down and bowed down and said, "That's it, that's..." He said in his heart: I didn't expect this Li Mo and these abilities... Wu Yuanheng told me these things, do you want to hint that I'd better not be alone or play tricks with Li Mo? Indeed, compared to such an outstanding king, my role is indeed a little small. Perhaps, only Chi Songzanpu can compete with him face to face...

After the banquet at Linde Hall ended, Li Shimin went straight to Hongwen Hall. He summoned Li Sheng, Lu Zhi, Xue Cuncheng and Wu Yuanheng overnight to discuss the major event of the alliance with Tubo.

"You all talk about what you think about the Tubo and the Alliance." Li Shimin glanced at everyone and said, "especially, for the marriage."
