Chapter 196 Wang Xiaojie: How weird, Zamp looks so familiar!
The female general Zhu Dan was sent back to Shangguan Wan'er.
The little girl sat on the horse without forgetting to read. When Li Yan approached, she raised her head and said with a smile: "Master!"
Li Yan warned: "Next time, don't read on a bumpy horseback. It's bad for your eyesight."
Shangguan Wan'er wanted to rub her eyes: "I feel a little uncomfortable..."
Li Yan grabbed her hand: "Don't rub it with your hands, wash it with water, close your eyes and rest for a while."
Shangguan Wan'er said oh and ran into the courtyard to wash her face obediently.
Zhu Dan was a little envious when he saw it: "Deputy Ambassador Li is really dedicated to this apprentice."
Li Yan's tone also sounded like a parent: "I have always tried my best to teach her, Wan'er didn't cause you any trouble, right?"
Zhu Dan smiled and said: "Why bother? Wan'er is very well-behaved, and Princess Zanpu likes her very much. Now that I can't see her for a day, I have to ask about her!"
Li Yan nodded: "That's good."
After laying the groundwork, Zhu Dan's eyes flashed and he spoke seriously: "So that Deputy Envoy Li will know that Zampu's illness has almost recovered, and the princess has also interrogated the Tuyuhun people several times, so that the Tang Dynasty envoy can come to see her."
Li Yan's expression did not change: "But that's not what Gar's theory said."
Zhudan said calmly: "We all appreciate Gar's great talk about being loyal to the country, but sometimes he really cares too much about Zamp's body and goes beyond his duties. Zamp couldn't bear to blame him personally, so he prepared to imitate your country and set up a royal palace.
The position of history serves as a constraint."
Li Yan raised his brows, revealing a mixture of surprise and expectation: "Establishing a royal censor? Zanpu's move is very wise and I admire it. However, Tubo has its own national conditions. Can Garr discuss this matter?"
Zhu Dan took a deep breath and said, "Deputy Envoy Li's words are obviously asking questions knowingly. In fact, the purpose of the praise is to receive the envoys of the Tang Dynasty and ask the envoys of the Tang Dynasty for their experience in the post of censor."
Li Yan pondered and said: "I really have some immature views."
Zhudan's eyes lit up: "I'd like to hear the details!"
Li Yan took her to the side and said seriously: "I have the right to speak, and you have the right to listen."
"Tubo was originally a loose tribal federation. It wasn't until Songtsen Gampo divided it into five tribes that it embarked on the path of centralized power, just like our heavenly kingdom."
"The Five Rus are similar to the Ten Ways of the Tang Dynasty. Songtsan Gampo hopes to break up the power of each tribe and put them all under the rule of Zanpu. Only by unifying the orders from top to bottom can the national power be truly developed."
"That was very wise, but he built an empire but didn't quite build it."
"Because the powerful chieftains and nobles from all over the country are still ready to take action and always want to take back the power that belongs to them."
"The key is also the ambitious Ludongzan. The big talker has a vicious vision. Taking advantage of the death of Songtsen Gampo and the young age of the new Zampo, he usurped power and redistributed the official positions of Wuru to various tribes."
"This kind of reversing the course of history has made the Gar family rise above the rest of the ministers. Now it is even more difficult for Zanpu to correct it. He must have deep determination!"
Zhu Dan was filled with indignation: "Deputy Ambassador Li is just, that's true!"
She actually didn't have a good impression of Songtsen Gampo. When the Five Rus were divided, Sun Poru was the key target of suppression. However, Lu Dongtsen later redistributed official positions, and it was still not their turn to take power.
It belongs to the Tubo version of Jiangnan, and the distribution of power is on the sidelines anyway.
But the appearance of the princess gave Sun Poru hope again, and Zhudan spoke even more directly: "This time the censorship is due to Zanpu and the princess hoping to break the monopoly of the Gar family. If we Zanpu takes power, we will definitely win over the great power of the Gar family."
Tang Youyou, let’s return to the relationship we had during the late king’s time. I wonder what Deputy Ambassador Li can teach me?”
Li Yan never believed in such friendly promises, but this did not prevent him from making a fuss: "If you want to decide on the position of censor, you must convene a meeting of the Five Ru Alliance to convey Zanpu's determination to all ministries. Only then can there be a glimmer of hope."
Zhudan nodded: "Zanpu and the princess also have this intention. Since even Deputy Ambassador Li said so, it seems that it will indeed be the case!"
Li Yan asked again: "But Weiru is the territory of the Gar family. If you want to summon various ministries, can you do it?"
The Five Rus of Tubo are divided into "Wei Ru" in the center, "Yoru" on the left, "Ye Ru" on the right and "Rula" at the bottom.
"Sun Poru" from the daughter's country was added later.
Each of these five major military administrative regions has a chief, a marshal, and ten heads of households.
The chief of a thousand households is similar to the governor, he is both a military commander and an administrative chief. He has control over military and civil affairs, and has greater power than the governor of the Tang Dynasty.
The area under the jurisdiction of Weiru is the Lhasa River Basin and the surrounding areas including the Royal City.
Ruben is Zan Xiruo, and the marshal is Qinling, who has jurisdiction over the Dongcheng Imperial Guard and the Nine Thousand Households. The next nine people are all promoted by the Gar family.
The place that Zamp really manages is half of the Potala Palace.
So when Li Yan asked, Zhu Dan could only say truthfully: "We can't guarantee that the news can reach all the ministries, but there is no airtight wall in the world, and all ministries will receive the news sooner or later. During this period, Zanpu and the princess also hope that the envoys will
All members of the regiment can enter the palace and tell you about the responsibilities of the censor of your country."
After a pause, she added: "Don't worry about the obstruction of Gar's speech. Zanpu is Zanpu after all, and we will definitely meet all the envoys of the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Yan thought to himself that you are quite proud, and said calmly: "This matter is of great importance, and we must obtain Li Zhengshi's consent."
Zhu Dan said: "It should be so, then I will resign. May the friendship between Tibet and Tang Dynasty last forever!"
Li Yan smiled: "May the friendship between the two countries last forever!"
After seeing off the female general, Li Yan came to the main hall where the envoys were.
Not only did they inform Li Yiyan, they also summoned Yang Zaisi and Shen Juyuan to explain Zhu Dan's invitation just now.
Yang Zaisi sneered: "This is because we are afraid that the Gar family will jump over the wall and want to bring us into the palace to intimidate us with the reputation of the Tang Dynasty."
Shen Juyuan said proudly: "Our Tang Dynasty is indeed so majestic, how dare these Tibetan thieves dare to do so?"
Yang Zaisi shook his head: "Don't forget, the death of the Tubo envoy Nian Zenggu in Liangzhou aroused great excitement, but now in the Tubo King's City, it seems that this incident did not happen at all, and there is no discussion at all. I suspect that the Gar family deliberately
The news has been suppressed."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Yan nodded: "The harder you press, the stronger the rebound will be."
Li Yiyan asked: "Yuanfang, in your opinion, how unbridled will the Gar family be?"
Li Yan organized his words: "To put it mildly, I think they will be unscrupulous!"
Li Yiyan: "..."
There is no way, according to historical development, the current Mangsong Mangzan died of illness four years later. The Gar family actually did not announce the funeral secretly on the pretext of war with the Tang Dynasty on the front line, and did not announce his death until three years after his death.
The body was dragged out and publicly worshiped.
This situation is not unheard of, but it only applies to situations where the person in power dies suddenly and the heir has insufficient prestige. Mangsong Mangzan dies from a long-term illness. In addition, the Gar family is originally in power in the country. This delay of three years is not so much about maintaining stability.
It might as well be said that it is taking advantage of the trend to attack the authority of the next Zamp.
Historically, Mansong Mangzan has always been very obedient and would not be able to live in peace even if he died. Now that he wants to resist, Zan Xiruo will not allow it.
"When we enter the palace, it will definitely irritate the Gar family. Do you want to go?"
The four of them looked at each other and said in unison: "Of course."
This is the purpose of the internal guards' mission, to complain about the internal injustices of other countries. They love to deal with such things.
Now that the front lines of the two countries are vaguely opposed, the rear must create opportunities as much as possible to severely delay the retreat of the Tibetan army.
After making the decision, Yang Zaisi and Shen Juyuan made preparations to enter the palace. Li Yan said softly: "Uncle, I want to ask your opinion on something..."
Li Yiyan listened carefully and looked surprised: "Is there such a coincidence?"
Li Yan said: "I also heard from Wan'er. I can't know how sure I am until I see Zamp with my own eyes."
Li Yiyan stroked his beard: "You might as well give it a try!"
Li Yan nodded and returned to his room.
Shangguan Wan'er, who had washed her face carefully and had bright eyes, came over and said, "Master, master, shall I report to you what happened in the palace today?"
Li Yan said: "Don't worry, last time I asked you to learn makeup skills from Zhu Niang and the others, how did you do?"
Shangguan Wan'er's tone was light: "It's not difficult, you can learn it after watching it a few times. I used to see many sisters wearing makeup in the palace, even the chamberlains!"
Seeing her mentioning that she was no longer afraid in the palace, Li Yan smiled slightly: "You just have to try it out these days. I found a test subject for you... Xiaojie!"
Wang Xiaojie walked in: "Liu Lang, what do you want from me?"
Li Yan said: "It's a big deal, Wan'er. Take a closer look at him. Does he look like him?"
Under Wang Xiaojie's incomprehension, Shangguan Wan'er circled around him carefully twice: "Master, you didn't ask me last time, and I didn't even notice it. Now the more I look at it, the more they look like each other! It's just that you haven't seen Zan before.
Pu, how could you know..."
Li Yandao: "A Liangzhou businessman who met Zanpu told me."
Shangguan Wan'er muttered: "The merchants in Liangzhou know everything. Master is too perfunctory!"
Li Yan rubbed her little head vigorously, physically dispelling the doubts: "Put on your makeup well, and when we enter the palace, we will let Zamp see Xiaojie's specialness at a glance. Do you understand?"
Wang Xiaojie was confused when he heard this: "Liu Lang, what are you and your little apprentice talking about? Why can't I understand a word?"
Li Yan was delighted: "Xiaojie, you are a good-looking person. Just a face is enough. You will understand when the time comes!"
…
Five days later.
After being released by the Grand Monastery, the Tang Dynasty World Group finally officially entered the Potala Palace with a long convoy of gifts.
Having seen the grandeur of the Daming Palace, upon entering the Tubo Palace again, everyone in the envoys was very calm, with a touch of arrogance in their eyes.
Li Yan had another feeling.
After all, the Daming Palace completely disappeared in later generations, while the Potala Palace survived even though it was damaged by war.
Stepping on the blue-gray bricks and walking through the spacious corridor, there is an inexplicable sense of history.
However, Li Yan suffered from a professional illness and thought of the legend passed down by later generations that the Potala Palace was built by Songtsen Gampo for Princess Wencheng.
This is very doubtful.
Songtsen Gampo annexed surrounding areas, achieved unification, created a plateau empire, and reached the pinnacle of his life when he was just a teenager. If he did not start building this palace until he was ready to marry Princess Wencheng, considering the construction time, it would basically be a matter of predecessors planting trees for future generations.
I was enjoying the cool weather, but I didn’t live in it at all.
Comparatively speaking, another theory is more believable. Before Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, the Potala Palace had already been built and lived there, but the hostess just changed.
Some time ago, Li Yiyan went to visit Princess Wencheng, who had little status in the Tang Dynasty but became a treasure in Tubo. He learned that the princess was in good health and stopped disturbing her.
If Princess Wencheng wishes to return to the Tang Dynasty, Li Yan wants to help her realize her wish, but it seems that Princess Wencheng does not have that idea.
In fact, it's normal. After living in Tubo for thirty years, I have already become accustomed to the environment. It's better not to make decisions for others and toss around rashly.
Soon, everyone arrived in front of the main hall.
They saw Zanpu sitting upright and the princess standing at the bottom, waiting for the envoys to come to see him.
Li Yiyan was the first to step forward to pay tribute: "Li Yiyan, the official envoy of the Tang Dynasty, was ordered by the sage of the Tang Dynasty to send an envoy to Tibet to offer a gift to Zanpu!"
Li Yan held the ceremony and waited a moment to receive the gift: "Li Yan, deputy envoy of the Tang Dynasty, was ordered by the saint of the Tang Dynasty to be envoy to Tibet to offer a gift to Zanpu!"
Thirty-six people from the envoys followed the two envoys and saluted together.
Zanpu braced himself, but his voice still sounded weak: "All envoys from the Tang Dynasty, no courtesy! Thank you, Emperor Tang!"
Everyone raised their heads and looked at Zamp.
Others were fine, but Wang Xiaojie was startled, looked at it carefully, suddenly realized that he was rude, and lowered his head.
