Chapter 669 Do it yourself
When Chen Qi returned to Luoshe City, he was treated with the courtesy of Su Dingfang himself to welcome him. (_ ){ } However, even if Su Dingfang did this, the generals had no complaints. Because this was the honor that Chen Qi deserved, he intercepted Songtsen Gampo halfway and captured Songtsen Gampo alive. On the third day after Chen Qi captured Songtsen Gampo alive, Songtsen Haiqing in Pibo City and Gaoyi, the prime minister of East Tubo, also rushed to Luosen City. They were transferred by Li Ke, and Li Ke asked them to stand by in Luosen City because he also wanted to come to Luosen City. Since Songtsen Gampo was captured, the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo had ended, and Li Ke came to Luosen City to discuss with everyone how to resettle the Tubo people and govern Tubo.
On the fourth day when everyone gathered at Luoshe City, Li Ke rushed to Luoshe City under his entourage of Qiqian.
That day, at noon, Lusue City had already been martially rigorous by the Ghost Face Rider. Ten miles away from Lusue City, Su Dingfang, Chen Qi, Songzan Haiqing and others had been waiting for Li Ke for a long time.
When Li Ke's horse team 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 can march on horseback. This is thanks to Sun Simiao's superb medical skills. Because Sun Simiao calmly treated Li Ke and gave him care, he recovered so quickly.
"Sister, please see His Highness, the Northern King!"
Seeing that everyone had finished their salutes, Songzan Haiqing, the kingdom of Eastern Tubo, stepped forward to polite Li Ke. He called himself a minor minister, and did not regard himself as the king's king, nor did he put on the airs of the king, but instead was willing to be a subordinate of Li Ke, which made him win favor among the generals of Li Ke and made Li Ke feel very comfortable.
"Your Majesty, don't be too polite!" Li Ke said lightly.
Then, he jumped off his horse, walked quickly to Songzan Haiqing, and smiled, "You are the king, you can't be so rude!"
"Your Highness is too worried. Everything about Haiqing is given by His Highness. How can Haiqing forget his roots?" Songzan Haiqing said sincerely, "Haiqing has said before that if you want to serve Your Highness for life, how can you regret it just because of today's achievements?"
Li Ke didn't say anything. He stared at Songzan Haiqing for a long time. Seeing that he didn't say anything, all his words were from the heart of his heart. Li Ke then smiled faintly, "I know your intentions and your intentions."
Then, Li Ke entered Luoshe City surrounded by the generals, Songzan Haiqing and others.
Because the Eastern Tubo king Songzan Haiqing issued some policies to benefit the people, the people supported Songzan Haiqing's Eastern Tubo Kingdom. When they saw that Songzan Haiqing's Eastern Tubo Kingdom was established by Li Ke, they naturally placed Li Ke on the same height as Songzan Haiqing. Therefore, when Li Ke was walking on the main road of Luosian City with Songzan Haiqing, even if there were guards with Guiwei riders every five steps and ten steps, the people still knelt on the ground and shouted loudly in Tubo language to show the kindness Li Ke gave them.
Li Ke walked to the imperial road leading to the royal court, which was the Potala Palace. He felt the support and love of the people, and the shouts of the Tubo king's personal guards at the Helangqi camp, and truly felt the great achievements he had made in recent years.
When Li Ke and his group came to the hall of the royal court, Li Ke sat on the main seat, Songzan Haiqing took action to accompany him, and the generals sat down. Li Ke then said, "Today, I came to Luoshecheng to deal with only two problems. The first is Songzan Gampo; the second is how to govern the Tubo Kingdom."
The generals listened quietly to Li Ke.
"The first question is, since Songtsen Gampo has been captured, the crimes he committed against Tubo must be punished. His crimes will be handed over to the Eastern Tubo Kingdom for trial. You are very clear about the law of Tubo. Do you know what serious crimes Songtsen Gampo committed. The second question is, how to govern the Tubo Kingdom? This is a very complicated question. I will just say one thing, that is, in the future, the city of Lusen will be the capital of the Eastern Tubo Kingdom, east of Lusen Gampo.
The territory belonging to the Tang Dynasty, and the territory of the Eastern Tubo Kingdom to the west of Luoshe City will be the territory of the Eastern Tubo Kingdom." Li Ke said here, and looked at Songzan Haiqing, and saw that his expression did not change at all, he continued, "Also, the Tubo people east of Luoshe City must move to live in the place west of Luoshe City. The land east of Luoshe City, which belongs to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, will carry out migration work, and some Han and Turks will be migrated, so the Tubo people cannot live."
"As for how to manage Tubo, it will be the problem of the Eastern Tubo Kingdom, but I need to make it clear. Although we captured Songtsen Gampo himself, he had a son Tulong and several ministers who had fled to Zedang City. The birthplace of Tubo in Zedang is complex in geography, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, we must solve Tulong as soon as possible and cannot let him develop and grow in Zedang. This task will be left to the Eastern Tubo Kingdom to be responsible for the extermination. The Tang Dynasty will assist you." Li Ke continued.
"No——" Songzan Haiqing took the order.
"Do you have any questions?" Li Ke continued to ask.
"No—" the generals replied.
"Then let's go!" Li Ke said lightly, and he also felt a little tired and needed a rest.
When the generals dispersed, Li Ke entered the inner courtyard to rest.
Songzan Haiqing and Daxiang Gaoyi joined forces with Xu Jingzong, and the three of them began to list the crimes of Dosongzan Gampo.
It is true that there is no reason to add a crime to you. It is not easy to list the crimes for you? What's more, there is Xu Jingzong who likes conspiracy?
Therefore, after careful planning and careful consideration, the three of them finally confirmed Songtsen Gampo's ten major crimes.
The crime was confirmed, and according to the Tubo law, Songtsen Gampo would be beheaded.
As soon as Songtsen Gampo's crime was announced, he said that he would be executed three days later, and the people of Luosen City were in an uproar. They did not expect that the former king of Tubo would be beheaded. At this time, they realized that the strength of His Highness the Northern King of the Tang Dynasty was already a supreme existence in their hearts. Now that Northern King Li Ke is going to kill this supreme man, what kind of existence is 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 Songtsen Gampo, Songtsen Gampo was very calm.
"You are finally here!" Songtsen Gampo said lightly.
"I can't stop coming!" Li Ke replied.
"Will you be nice to her?" asked Songtsen Gampo.
Li Ke was silent.
"She was forced!" Songtsen Gampo continued, "No matter what, she is your first wife!"
"But you forgot a little bit that she murdered her husband!" Li Ke said coldly.
"Don't you forgive her?" Songtsen Gampo asked.
"It's enough that she can forgive herself, why do I need my forgiveness!" Li Ke said, "If she hadn't listened to you and did such a wrong thing, would Tubo be destroyed? Will you have such an end?"
"——" 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 be alive!" Li Ke said.
"Can you do it yourself?" Songtsen Gampo begged.
"I don't know--" Li Ke answered affirmatively.
"Why?" Songtsen Gampo asked in confusion.
"There will be someone to end your life, but that person is not me!" Li Ke replied.
"Why isn't you?" Songtsen Gampo said angrily, "Why didn't I die in your hands?"
"I'm no longer killing people, no one is worth my own actions unless someone threatens my life!" Li Ke replied lightly.
Songtsen Gampo stopped talking, and he was silent. Because the answer Li Ke gave him was already very clear, and the meaning in Li Ke's words was very obvious, that is, he was not qualified to let Li Ke take action himself, and only those who threatened Li Ke took action himself.
"You can leave!" Songtsen Gampo said coldly for a while.
"Enjoy these three days of life!" After Li Ke said that, he left the dungeon without looking back.
Chapter completed!
