Chapter 525: Seeing the Covenant Again

As soon as Shui Rou said this, coupled with her delicate body that did not tremble at all, Li Nian understood why Chisong Dezan brought her like a woman like her as if she was a spoiler.

At the beginning, Li Qing was wondering if it was the woman that Chisong Dezan brought to him to offer to him. Besides being a little older, this woman did not have any youthful feeling of a girl, and it seemed that she had no shortcomings.

But at this time, Li Qing knew that he might have been wrong. This woman was really Chisong Dezan's own wife, and it was definitely not just a vase.

"Yeah... I'm a good person to advance and retreat together. You can get up and give him a seat!"

Although Li Yan is a casual person, since Chi Song Dezan has put his posture so low and he doesn't want to kill him, there is no need to deal with him like this.

As the emperor, Li Yan, in general, took rational measures against these surrounding tribes. In addition to Japan, Li Yan had already thought about the way to die for him. Now the only way he could avoid this ending was to choose a way to die for himself while the Tang Dynasty was not able to attack Japan.

But now, Chisong Dezan and Shui Rou breathed a sigh of relief first. They knew that Chisong Dezan's open and honest attitude should satisfy Li Qing, otherwise, basically, the result of a man's white knife coming in and a woman's white knife coming in and a green knife coming out.

"Zanpu is honest. I have indeed made plans before. If you pretend not to know anything, it may be the end of your Tubo in another month or two. I did not expect that you would dare to come to Chang'an City without saying hello. I did miscalculate this, but it is still a good thing. You Tubo will not have to destroy the country, and my Zhennan Army and Zhenxi Army will not have to suffer any casualties. Not bad!"

Chisong Dezan sat half of his butt on the bench where Li Yan was headed, and fine beads of sweat had already emerged from his forehead.

"Your Majesty means... no longer using troops to Tubo?"

"I am not a person who likes to waste time. If I use military service to Tubo, wouldn't it be better to take your head with you?"

Although Li Qing spoke a little, there was nothing incomprehensible to Chisong Dezan. The meaning of this is very obvious, that is, he would not destroy Tubo. In other words, his life is nothing and Tubo is nothing, but Chisong Dezan did not put his heart in his stomach, because although he is fine, he could return to Tubo and continue to be the Zamp of Tubo, which is not so sure.

"So! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Although Chisong Dezan was confused, at least his Tubo was fine. As long as Tubo was fine, it would be a good result for him.

"Do you know why I keep you Tubo? I have already seen it. You guys have much more scrupulousness than Chisong Dezan. In fact, at the beginning, the one I wanted to get rid of the most was you. You Tubo has a great ambition. Not to mention whether you want to replace me, Tang Dynasty, just talk about the land of Longyou, you probably already regarded it as a treasure in your pocket. If I hadn't taken over the throne of the Tang Dynasty, it would be hard to say what the current situation of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo is!

The more Li said this, the more cold sweats fell on Chisong Dezan's head.

He never knew that Li Yi knew so well about him. He thought that people like Li Yi were arrogant and would not care about his personality. But on the contrary, both himself and Mou Yu Khan had been thoroughly studied by Li Yi.

"Your Majesty! No matter what the Tubo was before, the Tubo in the future would not pose a slight threat to the Tang Dynasty. As long as your Majesty let Tubo exist."

He is also a king, and of course he understands that the best way to prevent an enemy from posing a threat to him is to destroy this enemy.

"All right, I won't say anything if there is too much. If you say that when An Lushan's rebellion was just put down, I was indeed short of soldiers and generals. I'm still afraid of enemies like you. But now, to be honest, no matter how hard you make, it's the same in my eyes."

"On behalf of the Tubo people, I thank Your Majesty. Tubo is willing to cultivate the friendship with the Tang Dynasty for generations!"

"It's not necessary to sing high-profile things. After decades, you and I will become a piece of loess. Who can know what will happen in the future? I will only tell you one thing. If you dare to touch the territory of the Tang Dynasty, I will destroy you, but I will not interfere in any matter outside the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

Chisong Dezan was stunned when he heard Li Yan's words. After reacting for a while, he understood Li Yan's meaning slightly, but he didn't dare to ask too much, so he could only nod his head mechanically.

"I know you are here, so I will ask the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty to draw up an alliance. If it is appropriate, sign it. The Uighurs are now an ally of my Tang Dynasty. If you can sign this alliance again, I can feel at ease with you and concentrate on thinking about the affairs of Japan."

After saying that, Li Qing looked at Xu Yuan, and Xu Yuan took out a covenant from his sleeve and handed it directly to Chi Song Dezan.

Chisong Dezan opened the covenant and looked at it, and his expression gradually became solemn.

He had basically thought of Tubo as a subordinate of the Tang Dynasty, but one thing was that the number of tributes to the Tang Dynasty was a bit beyond his expectations.

The Tang Dynasty seemed to have a very thorough understanding of the situation in Tubo, and the items he gave him tribute were almost half of the surplus in the treasury under the normal age of Tubo.

This is not a small amount. Without these things and money, the Tubo's troops will decrease year by year, which is the most deadly thing.

At this moment, Chisong Dezan finally understood what method Li Yan would use to weaken his power.

Indeed, if I had no ambition and just wanted to keep some troops to protect myself, the remaining money would be enough.

Chisong Dezan knew that under such circumstances, he could not hesitate at all, because once hesitated, he might be changed to pay attention and stayed here all the time. So, at the moment he finished reading the covenant, he also made up his mind.

"How is it? I wonder if Tubo is determined to sign this alliance with me?"
