Chapter 199 - True - Relying on Appearance

Thirty-six members of the envoys, together with a group of Supi women, the little prince and other old Tuyuhun clans, also stood in many rows in the hall.

Wang Xiaojie was at the front, but Zanpu didn't pay attention at first, and was looking at Li Yan carefully.

When she was looking at the master that Shangguan Wan'er was talking about all day long, she looked at herself frequently.

Zanpu looked over subconsciously, met Wang Xiaojie's eyes, and both were stunned.

This Tang guy looks so familiar!
Soon the concubine also noticed something strange, looked at Wang Xiaojie, and was also stunned.

But she reacted very quickly and immediately reminded: "Your Majesty, the envoys are presenting presents."

Zanpu looked away as if waking up from a dream, and turned back to the gift.

There are nine carts full of gifts, and the items are complete. While showing the grandeur of a great country, they are also quite meaningful.

When Li Zhi ascended the throne in his early years, Songtsan Gampo sent people to congratulate him. The saint rewarded some noble craftsmen to make Tubo self-sufficient.

If you want any noble pleasure, you can make it yourself, which can be regarded as teaching a man how to fish.

This time the gift is also very interesting, there are many books, including the complete "Chen Gui".

Unity, supreme loyalty, keeping the way, impartiality, remonstrance, honesty, prudence, honesty, good generals, and benefiting others.

There are ten complete chapters and several thick stacks of books, admonishing the courtiers how to keep themselves safe and listen to the words of the sage.

Zamp: "..."

Suddenly, I feel that the gift is not fragrant.

After presenting the gift, Zanpu raised his hand: "Thank you, Emperor Tang, for your kindness. All the envoys have come from afar. You have worked so hard. Please be seated!"

The palace servants came forward, laid out the carpet, displayed the tables, and delivered the delicious food and wine.

Zanpu persuaded him to drink from a distance, and deliberately drank a few glasses first, lowering his posture: "All envoys, please!"

"Thank you Zanpu for your hospitality!"

Everyone stood up and drank heavily, Wang Xiaojie didn't think too much, and began to deal with the good wine and food in front of him.

The atmosphere gradually became warmer. Compared with Li Zhi's imperial authority, the Tibetan Zanpu obviously couldn't put much pressure on him, and the envoys were quite relaxed.

Zanpu waited until the time was right, and said slowly, "Li Zhengshi, I intend to imitate Tang Guoyan and set up the post of censor in Tubo, what do you think?"

Li Yiyan replied: "Zanpu Shengming, the censor is in charge of the inspection of the court, and he is humble and respectful. It has the function of suppressing the government. It is actually an important position in the court and is indispensable."

Although Zanpu knew it already, he still couldn't help praising him: "Yibei and Shenzun, all officials will be impeached by the censor if they do something wrong. It's a good system!"

After praising him, Zanpu asked again in a concentrated voice: "But the powerful minister is in power, and if he wants to curb his power with the position of censor, what means should he use to suppress it?"

Li Yiyan stroked his beard.

He also experienced the period when Li Zhi was controlled by the eldest grandson Wuji, and in addition, there were many emperors in the Central Plains dynasty who were pushed aside by powerful officials, so there is nothing to look down on him.

It's just that as an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, there must be no less airs that should be put on.

After pondering for a while, Li Yiyan said calmly: "In my dynasty, the imperial censor not only supervises all officials, but also advises saints for their faults."

Zanpu was shocked: "Even Emperor Tang is under the jurisdiction of the censor?"

Li Yiyan shook his head: "The sage is supreme, so naturally it is impossible to be under the jurisdiction of the censor, but the censor can advise the sage. Ming emperors of all dynasties humbly accepted advice, such as the first emperor and Wen Zhengong (Wei Zheng), and the monarchs and ministers got each other, and there was a prosperous age of Zhenguan! "

Zanpu showed an interested look: "I would like to hear more about it!"

Li Yiyan told the stories of Li Shimin and Wei Zheng's monarchs and ministers one by one.

Li Yan was listening.

Li Yiyan is also bluntly admonishing and wholeheartedly serving the public, which makes Li Zhi quite respectful, and naturally greatly approves of Wei Zheng.

And Li Yiyan didn't just brag, he said very fairly: "The former emperor's prince conspired against him, and the two prime ministers elected by Duke Wen Zhen rebelled accordingly. In a fit of anger, the first emperor pushed down the monument he had erected for Wen Zhen. Later, when Goguryeo was destroyed, the stele was erected again considering the benefits of Wenzhenggong’s persuasion. Wenzhenggong also had the fault of knowing people, but the late emperor tolerated it and did not care about it!”

Zanpu was deeply impressed: "It's admirable to be so open-minded!"

Li Yiyan began to give a counterexample: "In the former Sui Dynasty, Yang was self-willed and didn't like to give advice. If the courtiers disagreed, they would commit crimes and destroy the family. Over time, all the people under his command were flatterers, and finally died and destroyed the country! "

Zanpu nodded: "It can be seen from this that the monarch should accept advice and criticism, and the reform of Tubo is imperative!"

He lifted his spirits, and his voice was unusually loud: "I want to put myself first, be supervised by the censor, and set an example for future generations!"

Li Yan laughed heartily, you don't even have the right to fart, so you are naturally willing to accept the supervision of the censor.

When the real power is in hand, whether there is still a mind to be controlled is another matter.

However, judging from Zamp's statement, he does have the best entry point.

The monarch is willing to be governed, but the courtiers want to be free?I can't justify it!

Li Yiyan stroked his beard: "Zanpu is wise."

The guests and the host had a good time, when Zanpu subconsciously looked at Wang Xiaojie again, the princess waved: "You all stand down, our husband and wife want to say something to Wan'er and her master Fushi Li!"

Zhu Dan, who was standing by the side, was reminded and immediately went down with the guards and maids.

Li Yiyan cupped his hands and said, "I'll take my leave too!"

He retreated with all the envoys, and there were only a few people left in the hall.

Zanpu, Wangfei, Li Yan, Shangguan Wan'er, and Wang Xiaojie, the good-looking guard who was deliberately left behind.

Zanpu first said a few polite words to Shangguan Wan'er and Li Yan, couldn't bear it anymore, got up and came to Wang Xiaojie: "Who is this warrior?"

Wang Xiaojie clasped his hands, and spoke directly: "I am Wang Xiaojie, a native of Jingzhao Xinfeng, who holds the position of internal guard and Wu Dewei...Zanpu, we look alike!"

Li Yan showed surprise: "Really!"

Shangguan Wan'er was also surprised: "Is there such a coincidence?"

The princess also had to say: "There are indeed some similarities..."

It's more than just a few points. When there are fewer people, the two stand together again, which is even more obvious.

Not only the face and facial features, but also the figure, at first glance they look similar.

Wang Xiaojie was not the tall and mighty type. He was born in the bottom class. He grew up in a poor family with poor nutrition and a small frame.

Zanpu has enough nutrition, and even if he is a puppet, he is also the king of a country. He is not poor in eating, but he has been held up too much, depressed, and has been in bed for a long time. No matter how good his body is, he has been tossed and thin .

Therefore, one of the two is lean and capable, the other is weak and emaciated, and Shangguan Wan'er specially put on some old-fashioned makeup. If she trimmed her beard and put on Zanpu's robes, they would look very similar from a distance.

It is no wonder that Chengfengling was defeated in history. Wang Xiaojie was captured by Tubo and brought to Wangcheng. When he beheaded for public display, Chidu Songtsan found him and shouted that this is my father, so Wang Xiaojie survived.

The Tubo man called father is the son of Zanpu and Wangfei in front of him.

In the past, Li Yan felt that there were a lot of gaps in this record. Why would a child under the age of ten go to watch the execution? Aren't they afraid of leaving a psychological shadow?

But thinking about it now, maybe Zan Xiruo really hoped that the little puppet would leave a psychological shadow after watching the execution, which would be easier to control.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zanpu directly recognized Wang Xiaojie. Obviously, his father had not been buried yet, and he was smelling bad. Tang Ren had a new father. It was probably a farce at that time...

Now that Wang Xiaojie was excavated ahead of time, Zanpu felt a little weird, but it was okay to talk about it.

On the contrary, Wang Hao rolled her eyes and came up with an idea.

After Li Yan and the others left, she supported Zanpu to sit back in her original position, looked at Zanpu's weak appearance gasping for breath, and said, "Your Majesty, since that person from Tang Dynasty is similar to your Majesty, the position of Censor this time , our confidence will be even greater!"

Zanpu didn't understand for a while: "What does Aifei mean?"

The concubine didn't say it clearly, her eyes flickered: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that Wan'er once said that when Emperor Tang met his courtiers in private, he sat in the royal tent and looked down at them!"

Zanpu sighed: "The courtiers must not look directly at the saint. It would be great if I have that majesty!"

The concubine comforted: "Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. The Tang emperor is not in good health. I am afraid that he did this to maximize his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and to maintain his majesty in front of his courtiers."

Zanpu thought for a while, and said with a wry smile: "My concubine's words are not unreasonable, but I can't do it this way. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty is already in power, so I can't compare to him! The courtiers knew that I was weak and sick. Going up to a higher tent, I'm afraid there will be more suspicion!"

The princess said in a low voice: "We really can't blindly follow suit, but since we have this mighty Tang man, why not make good use of it?"

Zanpu finally came to his senses, his face suddenly changed color: "Aifei, do you want this Tang person to pretend to be me?"

The concubine said gently: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The concubine's intention is that he pretends to be the king to meet the courtiers. The king only needs to sit behind him and control him!"

Zanpu was stunned, thinking of Wang Xiaojie's mighty demeanor, the anger between his brows gradually dissipated, and he muttered: "It's a way..."

Why is the monarch of Tubo named Zanpu?
Because Xiongqiang said praise, and her husband said Pu.

This name is related to the belief of Yongzhong. In the teachings, "Zan" is a fierce, terrifying, fierce and violent god. Later, it gradually evolved into an object of worship with the status of a protective god. Zanpu Zanpu, the name of a strong husband From this.

Straightforward translation, it is two words, macho.

But the current Zanpu is not at all close to the word of a macho, and the courtiers are not willing to take refuge in him, and there are also reasons for this.

Surrender today, strangle the Gar family to death, and kick Zanpu tomorrow, wouldn't you be dumbfounded?

The body of the superior is an important factor. Li Zhi's tactics and tactics must rely on Empress Wu, not to mention Zanpu.

Now that the princess offered a new idea, Zanpu was really moved: "Can the Tang people agree?"

The concubine sneered: "They sent me as an envoy to Tubo, didn't they just hope to weaken the Gar family from within? This matter is beneficial to both parties. It is just a matter of using them to help the king establish a censor and take power!"

Zanpu nodded, showing his sincere expectation: "It's such a coincidence, if this happens, it's really a god protecting me!"

……

"The Tibetans know how to play!"

After receiving the news, Li Yan was stunned.

Double reed?Sheath? Vtuber?

He didn't expect Zanpu and the princess to use Wang Xiaojie like this.

But after thinking about it carefully, Wang Xiaojie's mighty spirit was honed step by step as a soldier in Zhechong Mansion. If Zanpu can put on this layer of skin, it will indeed add a lot of points.

It really depends on the appearance!
interesting!
Li Yan smiled slightly, looked at Shangguan Wan'er who was studying quietly beside her, and was about to enroll her child in a new cram school:
"Wan'er, you have started to learn Tubo during this time."

　Thanks for the rewards of book friends "Memories Through Time and Space", "Tianjing Qingtian Treasure", "Scorching Sun Star God of War", "Daily Jinjin Fighting Gold, Smoothness, Carelessness, Wishing and Auspiciousness".
