Chapter 228 Wang Xiaojie: I want to rule by doing nothing!
"The Five Ru Alliance has begun."
Li Yan held Shangguan Wan'er's hand with his right hand, and followed Yang Zaiwei on his left, looking towards the high platform of the alliance.
Compared to the Hanyuan Hall in the Daming Palace where the Great Court Meeting was held, this place is so shabby that it looks like a joke...
But this is a glorious place passed down from Songtsen Gampo’s old father, the great grandfather of Tubo King Zanpu.
It was originally an alliance of the three major tribes. After Tubo unified the plateau, it became the Wuru Alliance.
I think Songtsen Gampo felt very happy when he was sitting on the high platform.
We used to be equals, but now you are all brothers.
Now when Wang Xiaojie is sitting on the high platform, he feels quite happy.
Especially when I saw Zan Xiruo wrapped in a thick cotton-padded jacket and sitting at the bottom, I felt even more interesting.
I don't know whether it was a coincidence or whether this place was always like this. Zan Xiruo found that the weather today was particularly bitter and cold, and the cold wind made him shiver.
Not to mention his trembling voice, his face quickly turned pale. He did not care about fulfilling the responsibility of the speech, skipping a long paragraph and going straight to the end: "Everyone who comes to participate in the alliance this time must abide by the oath of the alliance and make the oath.
Do not break your promise, otherwise you will be abandoned by both heaven and man!"
Wang Xiaojie stood up like a tiger, wearing a strong suit, which was in sharp contrast to the sickly speech, and said in a loud voice: "In the name of Zanpu, I make an oath of alliance and will never break it. Anyone who violates it will be punished by heaven and man."
Abandon it together!”
The five Rubens stood up one after another and said in unison: "In the name of Ruben, we have made an oath of alliance and will never break it. Anyone who violates it will be abandoned by heaven and man!"
They all wore red robes, and behind them stood the flags of each country.
At its peak, Wuru's military horses were all composed of horses of the same color, and the flags were also different.
You can tell from a high altitude that it is Neru's army, which is very convenient for marching, fighting and dispatching and commanding.
Later, the colors of the war horses tended to be the same, but the differences in the flags remained.
After sitting down at this time, Mo Nongruben, who clearly didn't like the white flag but had to stand up, took the lead in expressing his position: "We, Sun Poru, firmly support the king, and we will obey what the king says!"
The "Wei Ru" in the center has a red flag. Ru Ben was Zan Xiruo and was still wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket at this time.
"Yoru" on the left wing set up a black flag. Ruben was a mighty and strong man. Hearing this, his face darkened: "Ruben, the last farmer, is loyal to the king. We know it well. It's just that this alliance is discussing the censorship."
I’m afraid that’s not the right thing to say!”
"Ye Ru" on the right raised a yellow flag. Ru, who is a spiritual old man, continued: "In the past few days, the king has also told us about the responsibilities of the censor. It is indeed necessary to establish a censor, but how many positions should be established?
Who will take up the role needs to be carefully discussed."
The "Tibetan Ru" below has a blue flag. When Ru Ben looked at his dress, he looked like a standard Bon believer. He concluded: "We need to discuss it carefully!"
Zan Xiruo was wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket, with an undetectable sneer on her lips.
There is no doubt that if the Gar family does not lose power, then the four Ruben will now unite to target him. They must appoint the censor and get their own share.
But now the power of the Gar family has fallen away, the fifth brother Brenzan has gone to Tuyuhun, the fourth son Sidoyu has become the bare commander, the third son Zanpo has been dismissed from the position of internal minister, and the second brother Qinling lives in a military camp outside the city.
, did not dare to return, but he barely maintained his position as a great scholar, and his prestige was no longer there.
The goals of these Rubens suddenly changed.
He was afraid that Zanpu would take over too much, and he was also afraid that Zanpu would favor the heroes of King Qin this time and let Sun Poru ride on them.
Zan Xiruo will wait and see: "Zanpu, I want to see how you resolve it!"
Wang Xiaojie began to calm down: "Everyone, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I am unfamiliar with you, and you don't understand me as a person. I like my lord."
What the hell is the lord?
Zan Xiruo was stunned, and Mo Nongruben couldn't help being surprised. After the other three Ruben exchanged looks, they seemed to understand a little, but couldn't believe it: "What is the king's intention?"
Wang Xiaojie made a point of generosity: "Let me tell you directly. Sun Poru's great contribution this time must be greatly rewarded. Sun Poru's position as censor will be decided by them, and half of Wei Ru's position as censor will also be given to them.
They have decided that the censorship of each of you will be decided by you as a minister, and I will not interfere at all!"
Wu Ru was all stunned.
Mo Nong Ruben immediately thanked him and said, "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming!"
The three Ruben didn't dare to believe it, but how could they miss this good opportunity? They also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
In the end, Zan Xiruo stepped forward tremblingly. Even though half of Wei Ru's official positions had been allocated, he still had to bow his head and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Wang Xiaojie raised his hand: "You start, I, the king, listen!"
At first, everyone including Mo Nong Ruben didn't believe it.
There are many kings who say one thing and do another. Now that the promise is so sweet, the next step may be to hide their hidden methods, which may be even more sinister.
After all, there is no reason for Zanpu to do this, otherwise he has been so busy before, what do you ask for, selfless dedication to his ministers?
But then, everyone discovered that this guy really didn’t care!
No matter what the fight was like below, even if Sun Poru was at a disadvantage, Zanpu would sit on the high platform and close his eyes to meditate.
Mo Nongru was too embarrassed to ask for help until Sanru took the initiative to give in.
After all, this was Zamp's initiative to give up the profits, and they did not dare to go too far. After testing their attitude, the fragile alliance fell apart and they started fighting among themselves.
The efficiency can be imagined.
Zan Xiruo spent most of the day on the high platform with the cold wind blowing, which made everyone go crazy. As a result, they couldn't even decide how many censor positions they had appointed.
The four people were so angry that they couldn't convince anyone.
What a vassal!
Finally, Zan Xiruo, whose hands and feet were so cold that he couldn't feel it anymore, couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly said: "The censorship system is difficult to determine. Let the king decide the truth!"
As soon as these words came out, the other four people immediately stopped and stared at him with angry eyes.
Zan Xiruo ignored them and looked at Zan Pu, who was sitting tallest.
You have been in power for more than 20 years, and now you are bearing the humiliation. Once you gain power, stop pretending and seize power!
As long as the meeting is over quickly, I will grit my teeth and be willing to cooperate with you!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Xiaojie was about to fall asleep. After being woken up, he waved his hands impatiently: "It would be too urgent to talk about it. I recently heard from Ambassador Li that the Tang people have a way of governing the country.
It is called rule by inaction, and the system is used to restrict the behavior of the subjects. The king does not restrict too much and allows the ministers to give full play to their abilities. This method is very consistent with our national conditions in Tubo!"
The three Rubens were overjoyed when they heard the words: "Your Majesty, the king's sage, what envoy Li said about governing by doing nothing is a good way to govern the country!"
Looking at Zan Xiruo again, they stopped even shouting: "Galru Ben, do you want to teach the king how to govern the country?"
Zan Xiruo's teeth were almost broken, but he had to retreat: "Don't dare! Don't dare!"
Ruben continues to fight for power.
Wang Xiaojie continued to do nothing.
…
"Master, their fight is so interesting!"
Under the high platform, Li Yan and the others went to rest for a while, drank some tea and soup to warm themselves up, and then came back to watch the show again.
Yang Zaiwei was not interested at all and practiced the exercises with his eyes closed.
Shangguan Wan'er watched the four Ruben fight for power with great interest and asked for advice from time to time.
Li Yan was watching the fire from the other side of the river, and he could clearly see Wu Ru's fight, and occasionally gave his disciple a few words of advice.
But then, he couldn't understand anymore.
Because compared to the previous single battles, alliances began to form on the high platform.
There are only four Rubens who form an alliance to suppress each other, and they can be arranged and combined in more than ten variations.
The sharpness of his words was really dazzling, and he used all kinds of vicious and sarcastic remarks on each of them.
Li Yan no longer cares about the deep-seated struggle, he just wants to have fun.
Until the sun sets, Wang Xiaojie and Zan Xiruo wake up at the same time.
One is sleeping with pay, and the other is barely opening his eyes once he closes them.
But seeing the alliance making no progress at all, Wang Xiaojie finally said: "I have one more thing!"
Zan Xiruo was in high spirits, and the expressions of the four Rubens also became solemn: "Here we come!"
What Wang Xiaojie said was very different from what they thought: "I was assassinated before, but fortunately I was rescued by Li Yuanfang, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty. Since then, Li Yuanfang has performed many meritorious services and helped our country a lot. I have nothing to repay, so I want to
What do you think about naming him Zanpu Zhong?"
Everyone was stunned.
Zanpu Zhong is Zanpu's younger brother, which is equivalent to the imperial younger brother of the Tang Dynasty. He has a very high status. Even if he is a biological brother, he may not be able to receive a reward. How can he give it to a Tang Dynasty person?
Zan Xiruo changed his expression: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"
The other four Ruben also said: "Your Majesty, this is against the rules!"
Although the envoy holds a banner and represents the dignity of the Tang Emperor, he is still a minister. If you are worthy of his brother, wouldn't you be invisibly paying homage to the Tang Emperor?
During the Songtsan Gampo period, Tubo was vaguely a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, but it did not have a real relationship. The ancestral legal system cannot be violated...
Wang Xiaojie said sincerely: "Without this envoy Li, I would not be where I am today. It was he who talked to me about the rule of inaction. I deeply agree. This grant of the title is also a deep expression of the friendship between the two countries."
, you don’t need to think too much!”
If Zan Xiruo wanted to say more, he heard the other four Ruben say in unison: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming!"
Is this the guy who told the king to rule by doing nothing?
Deserve a Zamp Bell!
After all, it was a fictitious position that did not involve real power. Even Zampu didn't mind being humbled in front of Emperor Tang. What were they thinking about?
Under Shangguan Wan'er's extremely admiring gaze, Li Yan walked out and said, "Thank you Zanpu, and may the friendship between our two countries last forever!"
Wang Xiaojie laughed: "Please accept the title of Ambassador Li. May the friendship between our two countries last forever!"
Soon, Li Yanfei put on a Pulu armband outside his red official robe, which was inlaid with large seshurs.
Judging from the pearlescent color, it is obviously the best quality selected from Zamp's treasure house.
The five Rubens, headed by Zan Xiruo, had no choice but to step forward to salute: "I have seen Zan Pu Zhong!"
Li Yan smiled and nodded. After walking down the high platform, he saw Shangguan Wan'er rushing towards him: "Master, you are so majestic, but if this happens, will we have to leave Tubo?"
Listening to the faint uneasiness in the little girl's words, Li Yan touched her head: "Don't worry, Master is here. There is one more thing to do before leaving..."
Shangguan Wan'er didn't quite understand: "What else is going on?"
Li Yan smiled and never forgot his original intention:
