Chapter 457: Brunzan Blade: No one understands the Tang Dynasty better than me!
Tubo Royal City.
The Wuru Alliance was convened again.
The four command flags were erected in sequence.
The left-wing "Yoru" set up a black flag, and the mighty and strong man was Ruben.
"Ye Ru" on the right raised a yellow flag. The original old man died of illness and his son took over as Ru Ben.
The "Zangru" below has a green flag, and Ru is dressed as a Bon believer.
In the past, "Sun Boru" had a white flag and was located at the lower left. He had a low status and was quite marginalized. However, this time Sun Boru was sitting at the top, chatting and laughing with the other three Rubens.
First they chatted, and then talked about the situation of their respective tribes. The faces of all the people became ugly. They frequently looked at the vacant high platform, showing dissatisfaction, and said one after another:
“The recent hardships and political chaos are all due to Zamp’s long-term neglect of politics!”
"That's right. If there are no government decrees in the royal city, and the imperial censor is empty, he only hunts all day long. Where can I put Tubo?"
"If this continues, the country will no longer be a country!"
Sun Boru was also indignant on the surface, but sneered in his heart.
At first, when he praised Pu for "governing by doing nothing" and proposed "subjects and lords", I didn't know how happy I was, and they praised the king's sage.
But gradually, when every small suggestion became red-faced, no one could be convinced, and the processing of government affairs became extremely slow, the Rubens began to feel that something was not good.
When the disputes and contradictions arose among the various ministries, they no longer wanted to go on like this, and asked Zanpu to come forward at the same time, but Zanpu really didn't care. He often took the guards out on hunting tours and traveled all over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The Rubens began to panic.
Already.
They hope that Zanpu will not restrict their power, but the country cannot be in chaos. It is best to maintain a level that is both strong but not strong, and both a subject and a subject.
Obviously King Zanpu of Tubo would not meet this small request, and the country would inevitably lead to civil strife. What was even more frightening was that the friendly neighbor on the other side, the Tang Empire, had returned to its former glory.
At this time, Zang Ruru said in a deep voice: "According to the news from the Western Region caravan, the Tang people destroyed another country named Silla..."
Yoruru didn't know whether to comfort others or comfort herself: "I have also heard that Silla is a small country in Liaodong. It is completely different from the East and West Turks and grassland tribes in the past. The Tang Dynasty destroyed Silla and mobilized troops. It can be seen that the war front
The benefits are far less than before.”
Zangruruben said worriedly: "Although Silla's national power is far less powerful than our country, its destruction also allowed the Tang people to completely unify Liaodong. They have recently increased their troops to Longyou. Obviously, they will be free to deal with us next."
Yoruruben shook his head: "I think they increased their troops to Longyou to prepare for Tibet's use of troops. They tried to attack the four towns of Anxi before, but they also blindly defended. Obviously they don't want to fight again in a short time. Now it is time to capture the Anxi Protectorate.
, a great opportunity for the countries in the Western Region to pay tribute again!"
Zang Ruruben shook his head even harder: "The Tang people have always attached great importance to the trade routes in the Western Regions. They will definitely not sit back and watch the four towns of Anxi fall. They should send troops south to plunder the Six Imperial Edicts of the Southern Barbarians to supplement them."
Young Ye Ruruben also expressed his opinion: "Shannan is a desolate place. We send troops to conquer it. No matter how much we can get, we still have to attack Tuyuhun..."
As expected, several people started arguing again. With three strategic ideas and three directions of robbery, no one could convince anyone. In the end, they had to go their own way, sending troops to test them all, and then make calculations based on the degree of resistance.
Sun Boruben watched with cold eyes, waited until the time was right, and said leisurely: "In my opinion, the most important thing is to stabilize the country, stabilize the tea ceremony, and not let the Tang Dynasty destroy our freedom to drink tea!"
When they heard that they were free to drink tea, everyone immediately became solemn. Ye Ruruben even stood up and said: "Thank you Sun Boruben. Your assistance last month was really helpful. I took over the throne not long ago and I need tea to stabilize the ministries."
situation!"
He spoke sincerely and gave people a feeling of magnanimity, which immediately brought them closer to each other. Yoruruben and Zangruruben hurriedly said: "Thank you Sun Boruben for your generous help!"
Sun Boru also stood up, with the wrinkles on his face stretched out, and his smile was particularly patriotic: "We are all Tubo people, how can we distinguish each other? I don't dare to boast about my age, but with my Sun Boru's tea, Sanru's tea is indispensable.
expense!"
Everyone praised: "Sun Boru is so heroic!"
After sitting down, Sun Boru took over the right to speak naturally: "Now the political situation in the Tang Dynasty is turbulent, and various transportation envoys are set up, which makes the place uneven and the tea ceremony blocked..."
At this point, she observed everyone's expressions and changed the subject: "Of course, in my opinion, this was also done deliberately by the Tang people. The war between the two countries may not only involve swords and weapons, but also other means to cause civil strife in Tubo.
!”
San Ruruben nodded one after another and agreed: "Yes, the people of the Tang Dynasty are cunning and must be guarded against!"
Sun Boruben continued: "After the Tang Dynasty caravans no longer supplied tea cakes, caravans from the Western Regions still came in to sell tea, but the price was not only higher, but the quantity was not enough. There were many powerful chiefs in various tribes, and they were accustomed to drinking tea every day. The demand
It's very big. Not to mention that the tea cakes from the Western Regions are just a drop in the bucket, and the aroma is far inferior to Yangxian tea. I'm not used to drinking it..."
Ye Ruru said immediately: "I can't get used to the tea sold by the merchants in the Western Regions. After drinking it, my mouth feels bitter. I and other nobles should drink Yangxian tea!"
Zang Ruruben frowned: "I actually don't mind drinking second-class tea. If I drink tea for a long time without stagnation, this product has become a necessity in our country, and the taste is secondary."
Yoruruben sneered: "Do we want to drink the same tea as Guimin? Since it is a necessary product, we must pay for it!"
Sun Boruben nodded, raised his voice, and said: "So I agree to send troops to go south. The Southern Barbarians are on the edge of the Lingnan Road of the Tang Dynasty, and not far from the Jiangnan Road. Merchants are chasing profits. Once we open up the trade route,
, you can avoid the Tang court, conduct private transactions with merchants, and regain the freedom to drink tea!"
The land under the jurisdiction of Zangruru is bordering the Southern Barbarians. There was a conflict between the two sides. They originally wanted to attack, so naturally they were the first to support: "I agree."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After careful consideration, Yoruruben and Yeruruben also thought this was a good idea: "Then join forces and attack the Nanman!"
Just when the four Rus were rarely unified in their opinions, a loud shout suddenly came: "Don't waste your troops on the Southern Barbarians!"
Everyone turned their eyes, their expressions changed slightly, showing fear.
Because a red flag made a buzzing sound and moved quickly, several people under its flag walked over.
The Gar family is here!
Walking among them was Zanpo, the third son among the five Gar brothers.
The prime minister who was once in charge of criminal investigations across the country has now succeeded Zan Xiruo as the prime minister.
Unlike Zan Xiruo, who was domineering and who was in favor of others, Zan Po was slow and steady, and had good internal affairs skills. He was able to balance the interests of all parties. Today, the Tubo government can barely run, and this person is indispensable.
However, what the four Ruben are most afraid of is Qin Ling, who is tall and tall and dressed in military uniform on his left.
This Tubo general who once wiped out the Tang army in Dafeichuan still firmly controlled the military power when the Gar family was at its lowest, protecting the family through difficult times. Now he is showing signs of prosperity.
Maybe it's not just a trend anymore.
Because at the next moment, Zanpo and Qinling stepped aside and saluted together. The four Rubens discovered that the princess walked out from behind with a small child, and then under their escort, she walked all the way to Zanpu's room.
On the high platform, I sat down.
Sun Boruben's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he stared at the princess, unable to contain the anger in his eyes.
The other three Ru also made eye contact. There were rumors before that the princess and the Gar family had formed an alliance. They had already been mentally prepared for this scene, but they were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes.
Whether it is from the perspective of the Gar family being powerful ministers who evade the royal power, or the Gar family being slaves from the Subi Kingdom in the early years, the princess is a royal daughter. Both parties are mortal enemies, and they actually choose to form an alliance. It can only be said that the political situation is changing.
There is indeed no absolute enemy.
Zan Po inherited the position of Da Lun, and was also Wei Ruru. She came to her own place, but did not sit down. She knelt down respectfully and saluted the princess again: "Please hold the alliance on behalf of Zan Po!"
The tiger-headed and tiger-brained son was extremely restless. The princess held him tightly in her arms with one hand and raised her other hand in a gesture: "Since the late king, Da Lun has been presiding over the Wuru Alliance. Please do this."
Duty, protect Tubo from this crisis!"
Po Zan bowed to the prince again and then stood up slowly: "I obey the orders of the prince and princess!"
Siruruben watched them play, frowning slightly, and then showed surprise the next moment.
Because Zanpo looked at the other person behind her: "Fifth brother, you worked hard in the Tang Dynasty, endured humiliation, and gathered a lot of information. It is up to you to tell everyone about the current situation of the Tang Dynasty."
"Brenzan Blade?"
"Wasn't he captured by the Tang people?"
"After the envoy returned, he said that he was dancing in Chang'an to survive..."
Under everyone's scrutinizing gaze, Brenzan Blade walked out.
In the past two years, his skin has become rough and his appearance has become old. You can tell at a glance that he has been exposed to wind and sun and endured numerous hardships.
Indeed, he and Wu Youning supported each other along the way. You carried the burden and I held the horse. We welcomed the sunrise and bid farewell to the sunset, and the road passed through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties...
finally!
Arrive in Lhasa from Luoyang.
Although it took a little longer, it was all worth it. They had been stationed in Guanzhong, Longxi and Anxi Protectorate for a long time and collected a lot of first-hand intelligence. There is nothing wrong with seeing it with your own eyes, right?
After Brenzan returned to his country, he was even more surprised to find that since the secret guards were dismissed, Tibet's information about the Central Plains could only be obtained through caravans, and they were all discussed in general terms. It was not like he knew the Tang Dynasty extremely well.
So this returning Tibetan chick came to the center, faced the questioning eyes, pulled her hands, and the first sentence was a killer sentence:
"No one understands the Tang Dynasty better than me!"
