A group of amused and crying court officials on the side quickly stepped forward and comforted each other with kind words, and finally stopped a hand-to-hand battle between the champion and runner-up that was likely to happen. It made me feel a little regretful, but if these two old hooligans really tied up one on the podium just for a small champion, they would probably become the laughing stock of the entire Tang Dynasty and the country and spread for thousands of years?

However, Uncle Li's team was indeed as Uncle Cheng said. In the battle for the first and second place, Li Yan was in a cold state. According to the news revealed to me by Jiang Wang Li Yun, Li Yan had been preparing for a battle with a certain Red Hall man last night for 300 rounds. Unexpectedly, someone reported that Uncle Li was going to summon everyone to discuss the strategy and tactics of the second day. He was impatient when he was waiting, and scared the guy out of the door with his bare butt. As a result, he appeared on the field with two long noses today.

Li Yun, the whistleblower, held his courage two days ago. After getting drunk, he gestured to Uncle Cheng’s youngest sixth uncle. As a result, his dark circles are still like giant pandas.

As for Li Zhen, the sauerkraut prince who I was in front of me all day when I was a teacher, Confucius said Mencius was still not fat. He was thin and squatted on the horse's back. It was like a thin door panel. Uncle Li was the oldest: forty-nine years old, and Li Zhi was the youngest: 18 years old. And their opponent, Uncle Li Ji, went to Su Dingfang, and the age difference was the largest, and no more than twenty years old. So Uncle Cheng's words were really correct.

Fortunately, everyone knows what kind of person Uncle Cheng's old scoundrel is, so Uncle Li also decided to be generous and not to care about him. Anyway, the champion is already in hand, so he is not a big deal.

The winter sports meeting that caused a sensation in Chang'an came to an end again, and this time, almost everyone was happy. The veteran pirate team formed by Uncle Cheng and others, after I quietly discussed with the academy's priest, Uncle Li Jing, finally gave the Best Fashion Award, which finally comforted the veteran pirate's dissatisfaction.

The days that followed returned to the past, but the news from the Japanese island really made people happy at the end of the 20th year of Zhenguan. At the end of December, the first batch of gold, silver and copper mined from the Japanese island were finally brought to Chang'an on the last day of the New Year.

700 kilograms of gold, 500 kilograms of silver, and 1700 kilograms of copper. According to the officials who came to Chang'an with the materials, this is the beginning. It is expected that the monthly output will only be higher than this quantity in the future, and it will definitely not be lower. Uncle Li was very happy and issued an edict to reward Liu Rengui and Xi Jun, who guarded the Japanese island.

And I also posted all the good news in the "Tang Dynasty Weekly" and the "Tang Dynasty Daily". The people of Chang'an praised each other at the same time. Moreover, the spoils obtained by this battle against Baekje and Japan exceeded the expenses of the Tang Dynasty's treasury.

This also surprised some officials who originally supported and opposed the war. However, although Uncle Li was also very happy, he did not lose his mind because Uncle Li also understood that although war can make the country profit, blindly resolving disputes will over-inflate the self-confidence of the Tang Dynasty and will cause the international environment around the Tang Dynasty to be unstable.

Therefore, at the last dynasty meeting at the end of the 20th year of Zhenguan, in front of the envoys from all countries to pay tribute, Uncle Li made the promise of the country of the sect leader and would never send troops to conquer any country without reason. This was quite skillful, but it played a role in stabilizing people's hearts.

At least, I saw the Tubo envoys secretly smearing cold sweat. Su Dingfang poked me next to me. "Brother Jun, do you think your Majesty wants to pretend to be merciful?" Although Su Dingfang's words were vulgar, they also represented an idea in the Tang Dynasty's military, that is, Uncle Li was just temporarily embellishing the peace.

"That's natural. Not to mention anything else, Western Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun, and the big food that blocks our way to make money, our Tang Dynasty will not spare these rats easily." I smiled proudly. Now, the east of our Tang Dynasty is full of boundless worries, and the north is already under the operation of Uncle Li's series of evil poisoning schemes. I believe that for up to ten years, the Tang Dynasty will no longer have northern border troubles.

In the south, Li Yan, the king of Linyi, is not an ordinary person. In the past two years, he has been tempted by Uncle Li to immigrate to the Linyi area. Now, the population of Linyi area and the proportion of Han people has exceeded that of the indigenous people. Although there are many people going there, it has not caused too many indigenous people to complain. There are two reasons. First, after Li Yan arrived in Linyi, he pretended to be a wise king and treated the indigenous people equally. Moreover, the proportion of tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty was lower than that of the original Linyi Kingdom.

Some, in addition, the population of Linyi Kingdom is originally small, and a large amount of land has not yet been cultivated. With the arrival of a large number of Han people, under the supervision of the government, most of them have newly dug land to obtain fertile land, and have brought a lot of advanced farming technology, which has benefited a lot of local indigenous people. In addition, there were many descendants of Qin and Han immigrants in Linyi Kingdom, and their recognition of Han people is quite the same. Therefore, after Li Yan's treatment of it, Linyi has been firmly controlled by our Tang Dynasty.

The Zhenla Kingdom, which could threaten the rule of the Tang Dynasty over the land of Linyi, was just a piece of scattered sand. Uncle Li had asked the Tang Dynasty to start training a group of Qin and Han dynasties who were specially recruited from the Linyi Kingdom to make various preparations for the future infiltration and devouring of Zhenla.

As for the Six Zha in the South, the old demon who was good at dancing in Tang Jian, was now full of holes. Six Zha in the South were almost all independent and hostile to each other, but they were afraid of the power of the Tang Dynasty and expressed their kindness to the Tang Dynasty, eager to get the support of the Tang Dynasty to strangle their opponents to death. In addition, the large-scale trade exchanges caused a large number of Han people to influx, which not only strengthened the Tang Dynasty's control over the southern border of the motherland, but also allowed the Tang Dynasty to use more means to further assimilate the ethnic minorities in the south.

As for the West of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo's conquest of the Qiang people between Jiannan Road and Tubo had completely failed. Moreover, under the support and teaching of the Tang Dynasty, the Qiang people who were originally scattered in the western part of Jiannan have all fallen to the embrace of the Tang Dynasty and become a solid barrier between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. In addition, the middle and lower-level officials who were fighting against the soldiers of Jiannan Road in Datang have all been replaced by blood as graduates of the Tang Dynasty Military Academy, which has boosted their originally scattered military style and discipline. Of course, they are still far from the elite in my mind, but I believe that in the future, they will definitely become a weapon for the Tang Dynasty to attack the southern territory.

In addition, the Dongwo Kingdom has been firmly controlled by the economic and cultural offensives of the Tang Dynasty. The silk, porcelain, tea, high wine, and glass products of the Tang Dynasty have become the favorites of the nobles of the Dongwo Kingdom. The almost crazy poetry and books of the Tang Dynasty are published at a speed and preferential prices, as well as the Qiang people were originally a nation with only language but no words. I believe that I can't live much time for the beautiful poetry and culture of the Tang Dynasty. This title of Qiang people will only remain in the memory of history.

The economic and cultural offensive of the Tang Dynasty was also reflected in the long-term strategy for Tubo. The inflow of a large number of luxury goods made the officials, businessmen and smugglers of the Tang Dynasty the most popular figures in various Tubo tribes. In addition, some monks who were originally hidden in Tubo traveled between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, poured books on the literature and art of the Tang Dynasty and a large number of Buddhist scriptures into Tubo in a nearly inexplicable way. Well, I think it is probably because it is useful to describe this cultural dumping strategy.

In addition, on another battlefield, well, in the harem of Tubo king Songtsen Gampo, the conflict between Princess Chizun of Nepal and Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty finally emerged sharply. Poor Tubo king Songtsen Gampo, well, it's really pitiful, because both wives have a powerful force behind them, and he can only be stuck in the middle while being angry while staring at him.

Initially, it originated from the dispute between Jokhang Temple and Xiaozhao Temple. Jokhang Temple, also known as Yangtu Shenbian Temple, was the most magnificent temple built after Tubo moved its capital to Luoshe City, which enshrines a statue of Mingjudoji, namely the eight-year-old Sakyamuni. The statue was brought from Nipole by Princess Chizun, the Nepal who was married to Songtsen Gampo, the then Tubo king of the Tubo country, from Nipole.

To make it clear, when the Tubo king Songtsen Gampo unifies the various Tubo tribes, in order to gain support, he married the princess of Nipole and brought Nipole as a supporter. Therefore, he specially built a huge temple to bring the eight-year-old statue of Sakyamuni brought by Princess Chizun, who was worshipped by Nipole.
