The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 587 Death of the Tubo Prince
Jixian Hall is located in the middle of the imperial city, west of Shengwu Hall, and south of Yaochi, forming a triangle with the Three Great Halls. On the right corner of Jixian Hall, from here to the Three Great Halls and Yaochi, as well as the Xuanzheng Hall where the Chang Dynasty was held, to the capital. It's very close, and it's also very close to Yongxiang, where the maids of the various palaces are concentrated. Further west, there is Xige City, which is a strategic place in Ziwei City, and is now regarded by Yang Tong as the home of Shurawei. The first official residence, opposite to it is the Lugong Courtyard in the east, which is the second official residence of Shurawei, and is also responsible for the defense of the East Palace. The task of the second official residence is not as heavy as that of the first official residence, so Cai Wei, the deputy general of Shurawei, will lead the army of the first guard to station, and Yin Mingyue will be in charge of the first official residence.

In the attic of Jixian Hall, which is smaller than the main hall, a large wax is about to burn out.

A plain-clothed woman is holding a red dress and embroidering it stitch by stitch.

She is Yinmingyue who came back from her shift. This three-story attic is not only her official residence, but also her temporary residence in Ziwei City. It is the "boudoir" where she sleeps. There is a Turkic girl named A Luo who usually takes care of her. She used to be Yin Mingyue's personal guard, but now she is retired due to injury.

At this time, A Luo opened the door and came in, and sat down on the chair: "General, there is news from the embassy that the Tubo prince Dazan Gampo is dead..."

The tiny embroidery needle was suddenly deflected, blood oozed from the pulp of the index finger, Yin Mingyue sucked the pulp of the finger, frowned and asked: "Dazan Gampo only had a broken arm, and he was treated promptly and properly, how could it be possible?" will die?"

"Every country is very strict with people from the Great Sui Dynasty. The maids and officials arranged by the imperial court can only move around the outside of each post house. They don't let our people enter the interior, and they can't get core information. It's not clear how they got back. thing……"

A Luo took out a note from her bosom, handed it to Yin Mingyue, and said, "However, there is news from the doctors of the Imperial Medical Office who treated Dazan Gampo recently that before his death, Dazan Gampo saw Zheng Shilu. Dong Zan, and then died suddenly."

"and then?"

"Our people were all returned by Tubo." A Luo replied.

"Have the Tibetans become alert so soon?"

"Exactly!"

"No problem!" Yin Mingyue was still embroidering to herself, "We were well prepared at the embassy, ​​they were able to dismiss the people on the ground, but they didn't know that we could listen through the tunnel, tell our people immediately, sneak into the tunnel In the middle, listen to the conversations of Tubo and Zhang Zhung."

The main building of each post house is rebuilt. Not only the pillars have been hollowed out, but also there are tunnels buried with large urns and bamboo pipes below. People in the tunnels can clearly hear the conversations on the third floor on the ground. Well, Yang Tong's centralization of embassies in Xiuwen is also convenient for monitoring the secrets of various countries so that he can take the absolute initiative in the negotiations. Who would have thought that it would be useful so soon.

Ah Luo looked at the sky and asked, "Do you want to talk to the Holy One?"

"The Holy Majesty has been busy all day, and it took less than half an hour to return to Fengyi Hall. This kind of trivial matter can be negotiated with the officials of the Ministry of Rituals. There is no need to disturb his rest. What we need to do is to monitor the conversation between Tubo and Xiangxiong , Tomorrow, I will hand over the complete content to the Holy One for review."

Yin Mingyue's expression was indifferent, but when she mentioned the emperor, her emotions were a little up and down. She tied a knot, bit off the golden thread lightly, closed the needle and said, "People from Tubo and Xiangxiong are not stupid. The three caves of the cunning rabbit are very common, except for the main building. , Additional monitors will be dispatched everywhere else.”

"If the general has no other orders, then I'll go down first..." Yin Mingyue nodded silently, and A Luo caught a glimpse of her embroidering clothes before leaving, and said enviously: "The general's wedding dress is so beautifully embroidered, I don't know who is lucky enough to marry it General..."

"I am such an old girl, how can anyone want it?" Yin Mingyue said with a calm smile, teasing herself.

A Luo shook her head and said: "No, the general is as beautiful as a fairy, with talent and status, men are not blind, how can they not care about it."

"Maybe..." Yin Mingyue put down her work, pondered for a while, and said, "The Tubo people came to Tai Sui to propose marriage. The Holy Majesty refused many times, so they got nothing. If there is no accident, the Tubo people will arrive tomorrow morning. Tsanganbu’s death was used as an excuse to attack the Holy Majesty in full view, so as to obtain some ulterior needs. If there is no conclusive evidence, the Holy Majesty will be very passive. Our time is running out, let’s pass orders.”

"Okay, general, rest early..." A Luo closed the door and left in a hurry.

Under the flickering candlelight, the festive costumes dazzled the eyes.

"I can't get married, why bother to embroider the wedding dress?"

Yin Mingyue grabbed a pair of scissors and was about to shred the wedding dress, but when the cut was about to catch the wedding dress, she suddenly couldn't bear to do it, hesitated again and again, took out a wooden box, packed it carefully, and stuffed it randomly into the wardrobe.

"Just keep it in your mind."

Yin Mingyue sighed, blew out the candle, undressed and got on the couch!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

It's late at night!
In Xiuwenli, at the Tubo Posthouse, a Tubo warrior led Lu Dongzan to a rather inconspicuous pavilion.

Inside was a young man in his twenties. He had a dark complexion, thick hair like a knife, a pair of eyes as sharp as a falcon, and a well-proportioned and muscular body. Lantern, if the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Sui Dynasty see this person, they will find that he is somewhat similar to the dead Datsan Gampo. His temperament and momentum will make people think that this person is more like a prince than Datsan Gampo, and he will get a lot from it. Certain information.In fact, the person who died was the incarnation of Datzen Gampo, and the one in front of him was Datzen Gampo, the eldest son of Langri Zanpu.

"Prince." After a while, Lu Dongzan's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in." Datsen Gampo said, the door was pushed open, but the cold wind with snowflakes came in before people, sporadic snowflakes fell on Datzen Gampo's feet, and were melted by the warm air in a blink of an eye .Facing the gust of wind, Datsen Gampo suddenly felt chilly all over his body. When the door was closed, the icy cold wind was dissipated by the stove in the room. After seeing the face of the person, Datzen Gampo motioned him to sit down and spoke. Asked: "The Sui people left?"

"Let's go!" The heroic Lu Dongzan sat down and said.

"Yang Tong's palace in the north of Luoshui is very beautiful! I heard that the palace inside is magnificent, but it's a pity that I can't show up. It's a pity that I can't see it so close."

Like all aliens, Dazan Gampo was envious and jealous of Tai Sui. He had been in Tai Sui for so many days, and he also had a certain understanding of Tai Sui. He knew that some places in the south could harvest two seasons of grain a year.

Because of the most fertile land in the world, the land of the Central Plains hundreds of years ago was destroyed by wars. Not long after the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the world prospered and lived in peace and contentment in just a few decades; and the current Sui Dynasty is also because of the fertile land of the Central Plains. Yang Tong’s Great Sui Dynasty was thriving and flourishing. If it was replaced by Tubo after so many years of war, it would not take a hundred years to recover. Everything in the Great Sui Dynasty made Datsan Gampo jealous to the bone.

He went on to say: "We Tubo people live in the snow-covered plateau where the wind and snow are barren and the land is barren. Even in the best harvest year, the people who have worked hard for a year are still hungry, and the Sui people are born Occupy the most fertile land in the world. How unfair is God to the tough and hard-working Tubo, and how partial is it to the Sui people? Is there any reason? One day, I will bring a hundred thousand elite soldiers to Luoyang, All of this is mine."

Lu Dongzan was sweating profusely.

The prince really dared to think, and he had to remind: "Although the Sui Dynasty fought endlessly with the same tribe, it was also extremely strong. If I, Tubo, fought against it, I dare to say that I, Tubo, will be defeated, and it will be a complete defeat. The Great Sui army will be like entering the land of no one, and will kill us Tubo with a force of destruction. Tuyuhun, who was brutally poisoned, is a role model for us Tubo."

Dazan Gampo was very unhappy with Lu Dongzan's words, and he reprimanded in a serious tone: "Absurd! Our Tibetans are sitting on a plateau with natural dangers, and there are warriors like clouds, all of whom are brave and fearless. Even though the Sui army is strong, if the Sui army sets foot The plateau will be cursed by the gods all over the sky, who will cast a series of poisonous curses such as pain and panic, shortness of breath, fatigue, fatigue, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, abdominal distension and diarrhea, etc. They must be unable to move an inch and be vulnerable! You are spoiling your own prestige .”

Lu Dongzan was speechless. The prince had studied Buddhism for eight years in the Niphara Kingdom, and he believed in the Dharma of Niphara. Didn’t he know that the gods on the plateau were all fabricated by Zanpu in order to control people’s hearts?Helplessly looking at the devout Dazan Gampo, he said, "Prince, the so-called curse of the gods is called acclimatization in the Central Plains, just like the southerners are not used to the cold in the north, and the northerners are not used to the extreme heat in the south. As long as they grow up, they will get used to it, similarly, as long as the Central Plains people live on the tall grass for a period of time, they will be as lively as us."

"Nonsense. It's obvious that you, Lu Dongzan, are as cowardly as a mouse. You have long lost the pride that Tubo people should have. Now you don't even worship the gods. After you go back, you must pray for yourself and ask the gods for forgiveness."

"Yes yes yes! After returning to the country, I will definitely redeem myself." Lu Dongzan responded bitterly.

Only then did Dazan Gampo smile with satisfaction, "I admit that the Sui Dynasty was strong, and I envy the civilization of the Sui Dynasty even more, but I never thought they were invincible! As long as we are unified within Tubo, we will be able to lead the brave and fearless Tubo warriors in the future, Go down from the plateau and enter the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty, and seize the fertile land with rich water plants and warm climate for the descendants of Tubo!" He pointed to the plum blossom potted next to him, and continued: "Sui people are like this flower, who cannot experience wind and rain. Blowing and raining, how can I defeat the ravages of my Tubo's majestic majesty?"

Lu Dongzan hurriedly said: "Prince, you must not talk nonsense. The soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty are now invincible in the world, and the arrogant soldiers and powerful generals cannot be insulted lightly. If the extremely staunch Emperor Shengwu knows your thoughts, I am afraid that in the coming year I will raise troops to attack Tubo, don’t forget, Tuyuhun also has a plateau natural moat, but in the end, it was killed by the Sui army to Jiyu City? Therefore, the curse of the gods has no effect on the Sui army!”

Datsan Gampo "It was because Tuyuhun was unpopular and spurned by the gods, so he didn't cast a curse. If the Sui army invaded Tubo, the gods would protect them."

"..." Lu Dongzan's black face became even darker, and he said with a bitter face: "Prince, I think we can talk about the future. The most urgent thing is to use the death of 'Prince' as an excuse to force Da Sui to give me an explanation. So as to achieve our goal of seeking peace."

"That's fine." Dazan Gampo waved his hand and said, "But tomorrow, I will also go with you to see the majestic Ziwei City."

"Your current status is the deputy envoy, so entering the palace is naturally not a problem, but you absolutely cannot say such things tonight."

"Do you think I'm stupid? Of course I have my sense of proportion." Dazan Gampo said angrily.

"..." Lu Dongzan thought to himself: I am afraid that you will be stupid.
