Chapter 8 Assassin Storm
After the rebirth of the clan, Li Ke not only withdrew from Xingsuchuan, but also conveyed his "good intention" to Tubo through Langri Linzhi, but also agreed to an agreement with Tubo to not fight against Tubo, so the Tang Dynasty and Tubo were in peace.
Li Ke is the Tiankang who is expected by the world. He is not a king of a small country. He is inconvenient to take the initiative to tear up the peace agreement and move troops to Tubo. Therefore, if Li Ke wants to move troops to Tubo, he still needs a reason. Pei Xingjian gave Li Ke this reason.
Tiankhan Li Ke stationed in Liangzhou and inspected Longyou in order to shock the countries in the Western Regions. Tubo is also among the countries in the Western Regions. He will be deterred by Li Ke and feel a crisis. It is not surprising that he will make stressful actions such as assassination under such circumstances.
On the day Li Ke arrived in Liangzhou, there was an assassin in the Liangzhou Grand Governor's Office where Li Ke's palace was located that someone wanted to kill Tang Emperor Li Ke. Fortunately, the general Xi Junmai was found out, so he did not make a big mistake.
However, although Li Ke had no worries about his life, he encountered something in Liangzhou after all, and Pei Xingjian, as the governor of Liangzhou, could not stand the blame.
Just the day after this incident, Pei Xingjian's official position was cleaned by Li Ke. He went from the governor of Liangzhou, the number one military official in Hexi to a small soldier in the Liangzhou army. That is, Pei Xingjian was a hero of Li Ke's secret residence, or Li Ke was still in the old relationship and could still stay in the army to make meritorious contributions. If it were others, they would probably lose their lives.
Pei Xingjian was Li Ke's confidant general. He had followed Li Ke for many years. When encountering this, Pei Xingjian was punished so severely, let alone those Tubo people. After Li Ke learned about this, Lei Ting was furious and immediately sent an envoy to write a letter to go to the post to ask for the crime.
Tubo, Lusie City, and Potala Palace.
When the news of Li Ke's crime reached Tubo, everyone in Tubo was shocked. No one expected that such a thing would happen. The most panicked one was Zanpugongri Gongzan.
The reason why Gongri Gongzan is so panicked is different from others. Others will panic because Tubo assassinated Li Ke has angered the Emperor of Tang. The Tubo country, which is already worried about internal and external troubles, is about to face the anger of Emperor Tang.
The Gongri Gongzan was so panicked that he was far ahead of others, not only because Tubo angered Li Ke, but also because everyone thought that he ordered people to do this, but Gongri Gongzan himself did not know who did it.
Faced with such a change, Gongri Gongzan, who was still young, was naturally a little panicked and did not dare to deal with it alone. He quickly heard Chisang Yangdu, who succeeded as the Tubo prime minister after Lu Dongzan, came to the palace to discuss the matter.
"My de Chisangyangdun pays homage to Zamp." Chisangyangdun entered the palace and said to Gongri Gongzan.
Gongri Gongzan hurriedly stood up with Chisang Yangdun and said, "Get up quickly, have you heard about Liangzhou now?"
Chisang Yangdun said: "I have heard of this matter, and now this matter is very disturbing outside the palace, which is very bad for Zamp's reputation."
When Gongri Gongzan was transferred to Lu Dongzan outside, it had already caused a stir in the court, both inside and outside. However, Lu Dongzan was a minister of Tubo after all, and the governor of Xiangxiong was still at a high position, so the situation was still suppressed at that time. But now Gongri Gongzan has caused such a thing again and offended the Tang Dynasty, so the voices of opposition in the court naturally became more and more powerful.
Gongri Gong praised him uneasy and said: "Is this matter known to everyone?"
Chisangyangdun said: "Tang envoy asked for a crime. Who can hide such a big thing? Zamp is really anxious. How could he rush to do such a thing?"
Chisang Yangdun said, stomping his feet, obviously very dissatisfied with the matter and was very worried about Tang Ting's attitude.
Chisang Yangdun's reaction made Gongri Gongzan even more uneasy. Even Chisang Yangdun thought so, and he felt that the matter was related to him, let alone others.
Moreover, it is not surprising that Chisang Yangdun thought so. After all, when Qi Zong Nongzan was still in power, he vigorously developed his detailed works on the Tang Dynasty. At that time, this detailed works were in the hands of Gongri Gongzan. Gongri Gongzan naturally had the ability to do such things.
When Gongri Gongzan heard this, he was anxious and said with a bitter face: "The great emperor misunderstood me. This matter is definitely not what I did. I received this news no earlier than you."
Gongri Gongzan was definitely the truth. Li Ke's actions were very fast, afraid that he would give the Tubo people time to react, Gongri Gongzan had no chance to make more preparations.
Looking at Gongri Gongzan's appearance, Chisang Yangdun knew whether what Gongri Gongzan said was true or false. Gongri Gongzan's personality was a bit extreme, he had ambitions, but he had always been unable to grasp the degree of his behavior. He could see clearly just from the matter of dealing with Lu Dongzan. Therefore, when facing Gongri Gongzan's words, he did not know whether what he said was true or false.
However, Chisang Yangdun never said anything about the authenticity of this matter and Gongri Gongzanduo. After all, the matter is a foregone conclusion, so how to deal with this matter is the most important thing.
Chisang Yangdun asked Gongrigongzan: "It's over, I don't know how Zanpu wants to deal with this matter?"
Gongri Gongzan's head was already a little confused. Gongri Gongzan shook his head and said to Chisang Yangdun: "I'm very confused now and I have no idea. At this time, the big picture came to me just to hear what the big picture meant."
Chisang Yangdun thought for a moment and replied: "Now Xiangxiong is in civil turmoil. Many of the troops in the country have been transferred to Xiangxiong to quell the rebellion. Even Lu Dongzan is not very stable. Now it is definitely not the time to use war with the Tang army. The most urgent task is to stabilize the Tang army and strive to destroy Xiangxiong as soon as possible."
Xiangxiong is now in chaos. Xiangxiong's old royal family, Lu Dongzan, Luo's reinforcements, the forces supported by the Tang army, and Supi, who is close to Xiangxiong. The current Xiangxiong's forces are mixed, like a powder barrel that will explode. If it is handled improperly, it will be ignited at any time, and even swallow up most of the Tubo, which will cause Luo's disaster.
Gongri Gongzan responded repeatedly: "What the great minister said is that the most urgent task at the moment is to stabilize the situation in Xiangxiong before using war with the Tang army, otherwise the good situation that I had been operating for decades in Tubo will be over in one go."
Gongri Gongzan's words now mean Chisang Yangdun feels a little relieved. At least Gongri Gongzan still recognizes the situation and knows the importance of the matter.
Chisang Yangdun said: "Since that's the case, please Zanpu personally write a letter and send gold, silver and jewelry. The minister personally took it to Liangzhou to apologize to the Emperor of Tang, and explain the reason for the matter. Zanpu was picked out in hopes that the Emperor of Tang would calm down and not pursue the matter for the time being."
Gongri Gongzan, as Tubo Zan, naturally could not go there personally, so as not to get angry and take his life. However, this matter is of great importance and cannot be done by other ministers. The great prime minister Chisang Yangdu is the best choice.
Gongri Gongzan responded earnestly: "Okay, I'll write it now. If you have any questions, I'll go there."
