"I should have punished you, but now, I, Tubo, are surrounded by crises, and it's the right time to employ people."
"It's been decided that you will be given the opportunity to sacrifice your merits. Are you willing?"
Hearing Songtsen Gampo's weak voice echoing in the room, Qiongbo Bangse felt happy and quickly saluted Songtsen Gampo.
"Thank you very much for Zanpu's kindness. Even if I dig out my heart and give it to Zanpu, it won't be enough to repay Zanpu's kindness to me."
Songtsen Gampo twitched his lips in disbelief and looked at these ministers who were considered to be the most powerful officials in Tubo.
The internal minister, Qiongbo Bangse, who controls the rear like an iron barrel, and the marshal Namkha Norbu, who is loyal to himself and the royal family, has no second thoughts.
And Tashi Xiaolu, who may be slightly inferior to Qiongbo Bangse when it comes to means, but is still considered a rare capable minister.
There were also a group of loyal imperial ministers. Songtsen Gampo looked at them and spoke again.
"My dear friends, I am currently in a state of unrest in Tubo and surrounded by powerful enemies outside. I am also seriously ill and may not be able to manage my affairs for a while."
"I wonder if you gentlemen have any good strategies to deal with the current situation?"
One of the imperial ministers quickly spoke to persuade.
"Zanpu, I think that Zanpu just needs to rest in peace and recuperate. When Zanpu recovers, Tubo will be able to deal with all situations calmly."
"...You go down." Hearing this, Songtsen Gampo felt disgusted in his heart and waved his hand feebly.
If I can get better, do you still need to ask this? He is simply a fool who has nothing but loyalty.
"Do you have any good ideas to solve the current worries?" After the confused imperial minister retreated, Songtsen Gampo spoke again.
No one dared to be careless like they did just now, they all cheered up and started thinking carefully.
And the first courtier to stand up was really the wily and resourceful Qiongbo Bangse.
"The guilty minister wants to ask Zanpu, but do you want to temporarily shake hands with the Tang Dynasty?"
The long journey for several days did not affect his brain.
Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but take a deep look at Qiongbo Bangse, which was why he wanted to kill this guy.
"If Tubo and the Tang Dynasty shake hands and make peace, will the current predicament be solved?"
Seeing that Songtsan Gampo's attention was all on him, Qiongbo Bangse smiled confidently, stroking his long weed-like beard and narrowed his eyes.
"Zanpu, if you want to solve the current predicament, I'm afraid it's not enough."
"After all, I've already angered the Tang Dynasty by moving Tibet north, so I'm afraid I have to lower my posture and be more humble."
"With the magnanimity of the Tang Emperor, as long as we Tubo can give the Tang Dynasty face, it should be okay."
"As for Xiang Xiong, although Li Mi Xia has been released from imprisonment and returned to the throne of Xiang Xiong, in the past few years, Xiang Xiong has been without a master, and each tribe has its own agenda."
"Even if he is determined to retaliate against Tibet, it will take some time to integrate the various tribes of Xiangxiong."
"And we, Tubo, can lift the previous ban on Bon believers from the Xiangxiong clan not to preach in Tubo. In this way, we can at least neutralize the Bon believers..."
As this Jongbo Bongse talked, one idea after another was thrown out.
All the important ministers rubbed their noses silently and looked at the Prime Minister Qiongbo with envy and jealousy, whose brain was not so easy to use.
At this moment, Songtsen Gampo, who was already feeling exhausted and dying, still kept his spirits up, listened carefully to Qiongbo Bangse's strategy, and carefully weighed the pros and cons.
In the end, Songtsen Gampo had to admit that if he followed his strategy and followed the Tang Dynasty's usual behavior, he might be able to solve the biggest concern.
As for Xiang Xiong, the king has just escaped from prison and will definitely be thinking about how to unify the various tribes and strengthen the royal power.
In the next short period of time, the difficulty that Tubo had to face became much simpler, which was how to appease those huge numbers of slaves.
And how to ease the previously antagonistic relationship with the Bon religion, and then find ways to accumulate strength.
"Qiongbo Qiongbo is worthy of being a capable minister and official of Tubo. What do you think, sir?"
After hearing Songtsen Gampo's feeble inquiry, all the ministers and ministers quickly expressed their opinions, and they all expressed their affirmation of Qiongbo Bangse's policy, both covertly and openly.
"Tunmi Alu." Songtsen Gampo's eyes fell on one of the imperial ministers.
"The old minister is here, what are your orders from Zanpu?"
"Send someone to find Sambuza and come to see me. Sambuza has a close relationship with Galdongzan. Now, Galdongzan is an official in the Tang Dynasty.
Using Sambuza as the envoy to seek peace, I believe that even if Galdongzan won’t help, he will definitely not make things difficult for him.”
Tunmi Aru looked up at Songtsen Gampo in astonishment, quickly agreed and walked quickly outside the house.
"Zampu, you'd better take a good rest first, I'll take my leave soon," Tashi Xiaolun reminded him when he saw Songtsen Gampo's sweaty look.
Songtsen Gampo waved his hand and continued to give instructions in a deep voice.
"Tashi, please send someone to Yeerba Temple quickly and ask my son to come back immediately. I have something important to explain."
"..." In an instant, all the important ministers who had already known that Gongri Gongzan had died of serious illness all stopped breathing.
"Why, didn't you hear that?" Songtsen Gampo felt something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room, raised his head and shouted unhappily.
"Yes, sir, I will immediately send someone to invite Prince Gongzan, and also ask Zampu to have a good rest first..."
"When Sambuza arrives, ask him to come see me immediately."
"..."
#####
"What should I do? Zanpu doesn't even know that Prince Gongzan has died. With his current body, if he knew, I would be worried..."
"But if we delay deliberately, with Zanpu's wisdom, we will easily guess that something is wrong with Prince Gonzan."
"Then what should we do? If we can delay it for a while, just delay it for a while..."
"Tashi, tell me the truth, what is Zamp's situation like?"
Qiong Bobang, who hurried back in a hurry and hadn't even had time to eat hot food, looked extremely gloomy.
After he had just entered the palace, he had already learned the sad news that Prince Gonzan had passed away from the people he had placed in the palace.
And just now I saw Songtsen Gampo's frighteningly sallow face and dying appearance, and a trace of panic arose in my heart.
Tashi Xiaolun looked towards him, and couldn't help but glance at the commander-in-chief Namkha Norbu and others beside him.
"Why, if you don't want to tell me, then I can go find out for myself." Qiong Bobang shouted with an unhappy look on his face.
"I already know about Prince Gongzan. What is Zamp's situation now? Do you want to hide it from me?"
Hearing this, Tashi Xiaolun wiped his face vigorously and sighed sadly.
