This lower-level uprising in Tubo also caused great controversy in the court. Many of them hope to take this opportunity to send troops to destroy the hidden danger of Tubo in one fell swoop.

But there are also other people who believe that destroying Tubo will not bring any benefits to the Tang Dynasty, especially Tubo is located on the plateau and the transportation conditions are even worse. Even if it is defeated, it will be difficult to control it. If there is another warlord separatist situation in Tubo in a day, it will be even more beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.

Both of the above opinions were supported, and they quarreled constantly. In the end, Li Chongye was also unsure of his mind, so he sent someone to invite Zhang Zong to hear his opinion. After all, it was because Zhang Zong saw through the secret of Tubo Zanpu that he faced Tubo's military service later.

After reading this memorial sent by Lunqinling, Zhang Zong also showed a meditative expression. After a while, he looked up and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Tubo is far away. Although we can receive some information, we definitely cannot compare with those we have seen with our own eyes. So I think Your Majesty still needs to consider the opinions of those who have been to Tubo and understand the opinions of Tubo!"

Zhang Zong's words were very tactful, but they also showed his attitude. The so-called people who have been to Tubo and understood Tubo actually refer to Qinling, the people who defected from Tubo to the Tang Dynasty. It is estimated that no one in the Tang Dynasty would know Tubo better than them. Qinling's attitude had already been shown in the memorial, and hoped that the court would send troops to help him pacify Tubo.

After the previous civil strife and defeat, Tubo has been very honest in recent years. In addition to the internal instability, Tubo even began to curry favor with the Tang Dynasty and try to avoid conflicts with the Tang Dynasty. This made many Tang people look down on Tubo, thinking that Tubo was just like this and the threat to the Tang Dynasty basically no longer exists.

But Zhang Zong was one of the few people who had always been vigilant about Tubo. He knew the potential of Tubo, and a temporary backwardness was nothing. During the Songtsen Gampo period, he could not see clearly at first, but he repeatedly provoked the Tang Dynasty, but was beaten up by Li Shimin. This made Songtsen Gampo immediately honest and then tried his best to make friends with the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Tubo was probably not a threat in the eyes of the Tang people.

However, just over a dozen years later, Tubo was so powerful that he wanted to compete with the Tang Dynasty for the Western Regions. Although he was beaten up by the Tang Dynasty again, no one knew whether they would rise again in the future. So in Zhang Zong's view, Tubo's immortality will sooner or later be a threat, so he expressed his support for Lunqinling.

"The prince-in-law is not allowed. Although Tubo is weak, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if the troops are really sent to attack, how should we manage it in the future?" At this time, Li Jingxuan stood up and opposed. The cost of attacking Tubo was too high and it was difficult to manage it in the future, so it would be better to give up this idea directly.

"It will be able to be governed naturally. If it cannot be governed, then it will ruin the entire Tubo, which is better than they develop in the future to threaten the security of the southwest of our Tang Dynasty!" As soon as Li Jingxuan finished speaking, someone immediately stood up and opposed it.

As a result, Li Jingxuan was furious when he heard this and immediately argued with the other party. As a result, he started arguing. The others quickly joined in, and soon the hall returned to the previous state of quarrel.

Seeing this, Li Chongye also had a headache, and finally slapped the table and said angrily: "Stop it all, what does it look like when you make a noise?"

Seeing Li Chongye getting angry, the ministers in the hall also shut their mouths one by one, then retreated to both sides to apologize. However, Zhang Zong nodded with satisfaction. Li Chongye's performance surprised him very much. Unexpectedly, he could already shock the ministers in the court.

Li Chongye glanced at the ministers again, and finally stopped on Zhang Zong, then said: "I have decided to agree to Lu Qinling's request, send troops to Tubo, and completely eliminate this hidden danger!"

As the saying goes, since Li Chongye, as the emperor, has decided to send troops, he will not tolerate anyone's objection. Therefore, even Li Jingxuan and others who do not agree with sending troops, they dare not say anything at this time. They can only claim that yes and then start discussing the issue of sending troops.

Finally, the ministers discussed a general idea of ​​sending troops. Li Chongye asked them to go back and sort it out, and then wrote a memorial to present it, which made them retreat, but Zhang Zong was left alone.

"Sir, how do you think I was doing just now?" As soon as the ministers left, Li Chongye immediately jumped up with a smile and asked Zhang Zong. He had been tense of his face just now, looking like a young man, but that was just his usual disguise. Only in front of the person he trusted the most can he reveal his true self.

"It's very good. I didn't expect you to shock these ministers in the court so quickly!" Zhang Zong praised without hesitation, and at the same time he felt a little moved. His students had really grown up and should have become a teacher long ago.

Li Chongye was even happier when he heard Zhang Zong's praise. He immediately pulled Zhang Zong down and then told him some of the problems he had encountered recently. Zhang Zong also tried his best to answer these things. Only when Li Chongye talked about Zhang Zong could he talk about these things. After all, he was the emperor. Although he had the whole world, he had also lost a lot.

"Sir, I originally wanted to use troops against Tubo. This time I gave us an excellent opportunity, but I am also worried that if Tubo is really captured, how should I manage it in the future?" At this time, Li Chongye suddenly hesitated for a moment before asking. Li Jingxuan and others had a very sufficient reason for opposing it. Although he suppressed the opposition, it did not mean that this problem did not exist.

Zhang Zong pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "Tubo is located on the plateau, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If a powerful regime appears on the plateau, it will definitely threaten the security of the southeast of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, if Tubo can be destroyed, even if the governance is inconvenient, it must be prevented from appearing as powerful regimes as Tubo on the plateau!"

"What should I do?" Li Chongye asked again after hearing this. He also knew that Tubo occupied the advantageous position, and it was very difficult to attack or govern. The best way was to fundamentally solve this problem.

Zhang Zong showed a hesitant expression when he heard Li Chongye's words, because he thought of a solution, but although this method is effective, it may repeat the tragedy in history, so he didn't know whether it should be used?
