Chapter 789
Sangbuza came to see Qinling today, more or less with the intention of probing. He wanted to judge whether Qinling was still loyal to Tubo and Zanpu through Qinling's attitude towards Tubo's courtship, whether it was because of Tang's generous life changed his original intention.

For Qin Ling, what he said was just the truth, based on his understanding of Li Ke, and he had no shame in himself or Tubo.

But judging from Sangbuza's point of view, Qinling's performance is obviously not up to standard. When Qinling learned that Songtsan Gampo intended to marry, instead of making any suggestions or providing any valuable information, Qinling vetoed it With this thought, it seemed for a moment that Qinling was the envoy sent by the Tang emperor to reply to them.

Moreover, in the conversation just now, Sang Buza called Li Ke the Emperor of Tang, but Qin Ling said one majesty to another, which made Qin Ling more convinced of his own guess: Qin Ling had betrayed, even if he had not betrayed, At least it is also heart to Tang, and it can no longer be reused, so it naturally has no so-called value to Tubo.

The words were not speculative, and Sang Buza didn't get the answer he wanted from Qin Ling, so he simply said a few more perfunctory words, and then let Qin Ling go back first.

After Qin Ling left, a young man came in from outside the house soon. This young man was about the same age as Qin Ling. When he came in, he sat opposite to Sambuza.

"Kezeng, you must have heard what Cai Qinling said just now." Sang Buza watched the young man come in, stood up and saluted the young man.

The Kezeng mentioned by Sangbuza means the prince among the Tubo people, and Songtsan Gampo has only one son named Gongri Gongzan, so this young man is naturally Gongri Gongzan.

Gongri Gongzan is not only the only son of Tubo Zanpu, but also the Tubo prince in the Tang population. For this trip to the Tang Dynasty, Songtsan Gampo sent all the Tubo princes here and gave them the right to make decisions on the fly. He attaches great importance to courtship.

Gongri Gongzan nodded, and replied: "Well, I heard it. I didn't expect Qinling to already have Tang Ting's heart."

Based on the conversation just now, those who thought that Qinling had betrayed naturally did not know that Sangbuza was alone, and the same was true for Gongri Gongzan.

Sangbuza said: "What Kezeng said is that Qinling, as the son of my Tubo Prime Minister, should have his heart for the Tang Dynasty. It is really wrong."

Gongri Gongzan said: "Qinling is the son of Lu Dongzan, and Lu Dongzan is both civil and military. He is in charge of our Tubo state affairs and has a high position. His tribe, the Geer family, is also very prestigious in Tubo. Qinling has already returned to the Tang court. , Shall we write to Zanpu to clarify this matter, and ask Zanpu to take precautions against Ludong Zandor."

In Gongri Gongzan's view, Lu Dongzan's son has already descended to the Tang Dynasty, and his father Lu Dongzan's position is inevitably not affected by Qinling. It is reasonable for Gongri Gongzan to remind Songtsan Gampo to be careful of Lu Dongzan among.

But Sangbuza and Ludongzan are close friends, and they are very familiar with Ludongzan. Sangbuza knows that Ludongzan will never descend to Tang Dynasty because of Qinling.

Sangbuza hurriedly said: "This matter is inappropriate. I think that the prime minister is loyal to Zanpu and has no second thoughts. What's more, if the prime minister wants to collude with Emperor Tang, he will not refuse again and again during this mission. .”

What Sang Buza said is also reasonable. Sang Buza has always known that although Li Ke and Lu Dongzan are at odds, he has always valued Lu Dongzan very much. Houlu has already surrendered to Tang, so why wait until now to be noticed.

Gongri Gongzan said: "You are right, then let's sort out today's affairs and tell Zanpu clearly, there is no need to mention Ludongzan."

Daming Palace, Zichen Palace, and Inner Hall.

"Minister Sun Chong pays homage to His Majesty." Li Ke was reading a book in the Zichen Hall. Under the inner hall, Sun Chong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, paid homage.

Li Ke watched the eldest grandson rush into the hall, and asked, "Zijing came so suddenly, but what happened to the embassy?"

The New Year’s Day is approaching, and all nations are coming to the court. In recent days, envoys from various countries gathered in Chang’an City, mixed with good and bad people. In order to avoid trouble, Li Ke, the Ministry of Special Rites and Honglu Temple care about the actions of the envoys of various countries, especially Tubo and Western Turks. A troubled state.

Changsun Chong said: "Your Majesty's guess is right, it's the movement from Tubo."

Li Ke asked: "How, what did they do?"

Changsun Chong replied: "They came to Chang'an three days ago, and they were honest at first, but at noon today, the Tubo envoy Sangbuza left the embassy to meet Qianniu Beishen Qinling."

"Qinling? Where did they meet and what did they talk about?" Li Ke asked after hearing Chang Sun Chong's words.

Qinling is the son of Lu Dongzan, but at the same time he is also a disciple accepted by Li Ke, so he can be regarded as a disciple of the Son of Heaven.

For Qin Ling, Li Ke actually valued him quite a lot. Qin Ling was talented and intelligent, far superior to others, especially in matters of military service, he seemed to have an innate talent.

Li Ke had a taste of discussing soldiers in Qinling. Although Qinling was still young and had never commanded a soldier, most of his knowledge was based on paper, but whenever he talked about ancient battles, Qinling's words were drawn into the inside. Su Dingfang, a well-known national coach, also had to say that he is a formidable young man. If it wasn't for Qinling's background, if it wasn't for his Tubo identity, he would have thought of accepting him as an apprentice.

The Tubo envoy went to see Qinling after entering Beijing, so Li Ke naturally wanted to ask a few more questions.

Changsun Chong replied: "They met people in a Tubo wine shop. It's not good for our people to go in and inquire directly, so we don't know what they said."

Li Ke said with a smile: "The Tubo envoys didn't see the princess when they came to Beijing, but they saw Qinling first, which is a bit interesting."

Changsun Chong said: "Qin Ling is the successor of Tubo, and he is just a wedding envoy, but His Majesty treats him well, but he still colludes with Tubo in private, which is really a disservice to His Majesty."

Qinling has been in the Tang Dynasty for nearly nine years, and Li Ke has treated him well. Although Qianniu Beishen is not an important position in the palace, he is also an official of the sixth rank, and he follows the emperor's side. For this reason, it has always been regarded as a good choice for nobles to start a family.

Thousands of cows are prepared, so many powerful children want to do something but can't get it, but Li Ke gave it to Qinling. Li Ke is naturally good to Qinling.

Li Ke waved his hands and said, "It's still too early to make such a conclusion. Sangbuza and Lu Dongzan are old friends. It's normal for Sangbuza to come to Beijing to see the son of an old man, but it's not easy to judge him as a crime."

Li Ke obviously still didn't want to do anything to Qin Ling, so Chang Sun Chong continued to ask: "Then why do you want to order someone to beat up the Tubo mission to make them be more honest?"

Li Ke thought for a while and replied: "That's not necessary, let them see whoever they want to see, you just send someone to watch."

"No." The eldest grandson rushed to the order and complied.
