Chapter 50 Nan Cong Xiang seeks merit

Discord between the king and the minister has always been a taboo in ancient times, not to mention that when the Tang army is about to be invaded, Chisang Yangdu is still the prime minister of Tubo and the first person below the king.

There is no doubt that the discord between Gongri Gongzan and Chisangyangdun in the Potala Palace was a huge crisis for Tubo, but at that time, Nan Congxiang, who was in the hall, realized the opportunity, an opportunity to gain wealth.

Li Ke had said before that he wanted him to alienate the Tubo monarchs and ministers, and persuade him to surrender tribute and praise when necessary. Li Ke was never stingy with rewards to Nan Congxiang. As for the amount of rewards, it depends on how much Nan Congxiang can do.

Nan Congxiang has not done much now, but he has just alienated the relationship between Lu Dongzan and Gongri Gongzan. This is not enough. If he can alienate the relationship between Chisang Yangdu and Gongri Gongzan and help Li Ke break through some city gates, then his contribution will be great. Not to mention the rewards of gold and silver, even if he goes to the Tang Dynasty to be an official and a title, it will not be difficult.

For Tubo, Nan Congxiang was naturally a slander who accepted bribes from the Tang Dynasty and betrayed the court, but he was also a very ambitious slander and a smart corrupt official.

The next evening, the city of Lusie and the Potala Palace.

It was late at night, and the night was getting darker, and the sky outside the palace had already become darkened. Gongri Gongzan, who had been irritated for a day, was about to rest when suddenly a servant sent a message, Nan Congxiang had important matters related to the battle between Nong Gegu.

Nan Congxiang was Gongri Gongzan's confidant and an important official in the court. He had a critical matter at this time, which was related to the battle of Nonggegu, which directly decided the life and death of Tubo. Gongri Gongzan lost his sleepiness when he heard this, and could not wait for a moment, so he summoned him immediately.

"I, Nan Congxiang, pays homage to Zanpu." Nan Congxiang stood in front of Gongri Gongzan and knelt down and bowed.

Gongrigong praised Nan Congxiang and asked anxiously: "Get up quickly, do you say that there are important matters related to the battle with Nong Gegu and I have to report to me, I wonder what it is?"

Nan Congxiang stood up, sighed deeply at first, and then said, "Zanpu, if I think it is right, there may be other hidden information in the defeat of Nonggegu's battle. The reason is probably not in front of the two armies, but in my Tubo court."

Nan Congxiang looked heartbroken, as if she had known some major secret. And listening to Nan Congxiang's words, it seemed that there was still something else that the Tubo army was wiped out in Nonggegu.

Hearing Nan Congxiang's words, Gongri Gongzan became even more anxious and asked immediately: "Why do you say this? Come on."

Nan Congxiang replied: "Yesterday, Zanpu talked about the battle of Nonggegu in the main hall. At that time, the general thought it was very strange. Although the Tang army was strong, they came from afar and were not adapted to the local conditions. Why could it be my Tubo Lang's opponent? So after yesterday, the general ordered people to go out of the city to investigate the news, and this investigation found a major event."

"What's the matter?" Gongri Gongzan was so enchanted by Nan Congxiang, and then asked.

Nan Congxiang replied gritted his teeth, "My family slaves sent back the news. Just after the defeat of Nonggegu, Lu Dongzan had surrendered to Tang. Moreover, after Lu Dongzan surrendered to Tang, he did not punish him at all. Emperor Tang also gave Lu Dongzan a high official and generous salary. He was appointed as prime minister and became the prime minister of the Tang court. He respected him very much."

As soon as Nan Congxiang's words came out, Gongri Gongzan felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground on the spot.

Before this, many of the defeated Tubo troops fled back to Luli and brought back the news of the defeat of the Tubo army. However, the news about Lu Dongzan was always unknown, so Gongri Gongzan once guessed that Lu Dongzan died in battle and died in the country. But now Nan Congxiang has expressed this news, how can Gongri Gongzan not be surprised?

Of course, if Lu Dongzan was just surrendering to the Tang Dynasty to survive, Gongri Gongzan would not be so angry. What really made Gongri Gongzan angry was that Li Ke treated Lu Dongzan so well. You should know that Lu Dongzan was the commander of the Tubo army and caused a lot of trouble to Li Ke. It was rare for Lu Dongzan to surrender to Tang Dynasty Li Ke without killing him. There was no reason to immediately give the prime minister a high position.

Nan Congxiang's words were very inducible. Gongri Gongzan's instinctive reaction when he heard Nan Congxiang's words, his first instinctive reaction was that Lu Dongzan surrendered to the ground. He was probably not an ordinary defeat and captured, but a transaction, a transaction that exchanged 200,000 Tubo troops for glory and wealth.

If this were not the case, how could it make sense to the current situation? How could he easily give a defeated general?

Gongri Gong said with a praising voice: "So that's it. I told you why my 200,000 Tubo army was destroyed so quickly? It turned out that I didn't give him the Tubo prime minister, and he himself exchanged the Tang emperor for the Tang court's prime minister."

The prime minister of the Tang Dynasty was naturally better than that of Tubo. Under the guidance of Nan Congxiang, Gongri Gongzan regarded Lu Dongzan's surrender to the Tang Dynasty as a pursuit of high officials and generous salaries, and a revenge for his reprimand for his resignation of his position as a prime minister. All of this is reasonable.

Nan Congxiang looked at Gongri Gongzan's reaction and said a little annoyed: "It's all my fault. I didn't realize the abnormality in time and stopped Lu Dongzan from leading the army. It was too late to stop Lu Dongzan from stopping Lu Dongzan."

When Lu Dongzan was still leading the army in Bai Bize, Nan Congxiang advised Gongri Gongzan to be careful of Lu Dongzan's rebellion. At that time, Nan Congxiang said this to alienate Gongri Gongzan and Lu Dongzan. But now, what Nan Congxiang did at that time was a bit far-sighted.

Gongri Gongzan looked at Nan Congxiang who was still blaming himself, and couldn't help feeling a little relieved. Nan Congxiang was really "loyal" to him, but unfortunately he still couldn't defend against Lu Dongzan, a traitor.

It is the time to use people now. "Loyal ministers" like Nan Congxiang are inseparable from Gongrigongzan. Seeing this, Gongrigongzan even comforted Nan Congxiang.

Gongrigong Praised: "Lu Dongzan is loyal and traitorous, and this is not something you can expect, so you don't have to blame yourself too much."

Nan Congxiang seemed to be very helpful to Gongri Gongzan's words. Nan Congxiang regretted with a bit of patriotic enthusiasm: "Zanpu said that, Lu Dongzan was originally an old minister of Zanpu. Who would have thought that he would do such a thing, letting down the great precept who had tried his best to recommend him and reuse him, and even more letting down the Zanpu."

Nan Congxiang's words seemed unintentional, but they were just a moment of emotion, but they also accidentally pointed out a person, which was the great prime minister Chisang Yangdun. When the Tang army was approaching, Gongri Gongzan was unwilling to appoint Lu Dongzan, but Chisang Yangdun strongly recommended Lu Dongzan, which led to the incident later.

Gongri Gongzan couldn't help but wonder why Chisang Yangdun wanted to recommend Lu Dongzan again and again. Lu Dongzan surrendered to Tang Dynasty. Is there any necessary connection between Chisang Yangdun and Lu Dongzan surrendered to Tang Dynasty?

You should know that Chisang Yangdu and Lu Dongzan are good friends. Moreover, Chisang Yangdu also went to Xidu to meet Li Ke, but now Gongri Gongzan is not only dissatisfied with Chisang Yangdu.

Suspecting that this kind of thing is like a seed. The current unfavorable situation in Tubo is the best soil for seed growth. Once planted, it will quickly rise in Gongri Gongzan's heart until Gongri Gongzan completely loses trust in Chisang Yangdu.
