bastard seizes tang

Chapter 808
On the Chang'an side, the Tang Dynasty's war against Goguryeo was imminent, and it was ready to go. At the same time, the Tubo missions from Chang'an to Tubo finally arrived.

Gongri Gongzan, Sang Buza, and Sairu Gongdun are considered to have humiliated their mission to the Tang Dynasty this time. When they return, the first thing they do is to enter the palace immediately and ask for an audience with Qizong Nongzan.

"The ministers have insulted their mission and failed to welcome back the Tang Ting princess for Zanpu and Tubo. Please Zanpu come down." In the main hall of the Potala Palace, three people, Gongri Gongzan, Sangbuza, and Seru Gongdun Kneeling in front of Qizong Nongzan, pleading guilty to worship.

"Okay, get up, I already know about this, and you can't blame all of this on you." Qi Zong praised him, raised his hand, and made the three of them stand up.

Although the envoys were only able to arrive, what happened in Chang'an had already been rushed to Tubo, and Abandoned Zong Nongzan already knew about it a few days ago.As for the marriage, Li Ke took a tough attitude and gave no room for maneuver. It was indeed beyond their control.

After getting up, the envoy Sangbuza spoke first, "Zanpu Rende is generous, I am ashamed to accept it."

Qi Zong praised: "Li Ke has a tough attitude and never wants to get married, so I was mentally prepared for this result. But you have gone to Chang'an, and you should understand Tang Ting's attitude better. You think they How hostile is it to us Tubo?"

Sangbuza replied truthfully: "The Emperor Tang seems to have a strong prejudice against me, Tubo. Under the influence of the Emperor Tang, the generals and important ministers of the Tang Dynasty are hostile to us. The ministers think that the war between Tang and Tubo is inevitable and inevitable. We still need to prepare early.”

Qi Zong praised: "What you said is that Liangzhou's army has been stationed in Xingsuchuan for some time. If Houzang and Xiangxiong hadn't been decided at the moment, I wish I could take advantage of the Tang army's eastward march and immediately send troops to Tuyuhun, Pei Xingjian was chased back to Liangzhou."

Seru Gongdun, who was at the side, heard the words, and quickly asked: "Then I don't know if the Tang army has crossed the border after entering Xingsuchuan?"

Qi Zong praised and replied: "That's not true. Since entering Xingsuchuan, the Tang army has only practiced every day, and has never crossed the border. But it looks like it may be stationed forever."

As Qi Zong talked, he remembered something and asked, "Have you ever seen the princess when you went to Chang'an?"

Sangbuza replied: "The Tang Palace has too many rules. Foreign officials are not allowed to enter the palace before the first day of the Yuan Dynasty. After the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, the missions are in a hurry to return to Tibet, so they have never seen the princess."

Qi Zong Nongzan sighed lightly and said: "The two countries have settled down after the war, but Lin Zhi is still trapped in Chang'an. It is really worrying. I knew that I should not have agreed to the marriage with Tang Ting and married Lin Zhi. Go to Chang'an."

Regarding the matter of marrying Langri Linzhi to Chang'an, Qi Zong Nongzan still regretted it a little. Marrying Langri Linzhi to Li Ke was to seek peace with the Tang Dynasty, stabilize the eastern front of Tubo, and fight for himself. The time of Xionghe Houzang is true, but in recent years, there have been more and more complaints from the top and bottom of the Tubo court about this matter.

The marriage and friendship between the two countries are accompanied by trade and commerce. In terms of the exquisiteness of the goods and the prosperity of the patterns, the things of Tubo are far from being comparable to those of the Tang Dynasty.

Tubo's leather, cattle and sheep, and Tibetan medicine were not much needed in the Tang Dynasty, and the land was not sold much, and the profits were meager. Every year, a lot of gold and silver are spent to buy fine wine, silk, spices, tea, etc. in the Tang Dynasty. This is no longer a deficit, but almost a one-sided dumping.

What's more, some Tubo dignitaries lack gold and silver in their hands. In order to continue to satisfy their own desires, they even privately trade war horses, swords and armor with Datang's caravans to continue exchanging things from Datang. This has broken through Qi Zong praised the bottom line of tolerance. If this continues, the Tubo army will collapse without having to fight again.

However, the military system of Tubo is different from that of the Tang Dynasty. The tribal system in Tubo is too powerful. Although it is Zanpu who abandons the clan and praises it, it cannot decide the affairs of the tribes. In the face of these problems, we can only deal with them slowly. It was a headache for him.

Gongri Gongzan looked at Qi Zong's appearance, obviously he regretted marrying Langri Linzhi and went to Datang, so he took the opportunity to say: "Actually, the princess is not the only one who puts us in a dilemma because of marriage."

Qizong Nongzan heard what Gongri Gongzan said, and it seemed that there was something in the words, so he asked, "What do you mean?"

Gongri Gongzan did not directly reply to Qizong's words of praise, but first asked: "Does Zanpu still remember Qinling?"

Qi Zong replied with praise: "But the second son of the great minister's family, the boy who accompanied Lin Zhi to Chang'an?"

Gongri Gongzan said: "It is this person, this time we asked Tang Emperor for marriage, and it is not unrelated to him that we ended up in such a situation."

As soon as Gongri Gongzan's words fell, Sangbuza immediately guessed the meaning of Gongri Gongzan, and hurriedly said: "This matter has a lot to do with it, Kezeng can't just talk about it."

Gongri Gongzan said displeased: "What I said to Yu Zanpu is what I have seen and heard with my own eyes. There is absolutely no falsehood. Why do you just say it out of your mouth?"

Listening to the words of Gongri Gongzan and Sangbuza, it was obvious that there was something hidden inside, and Qi Zong Nongzan said to Gongri Gongzan: "Tell me about it, but Qinling is the son of the prime minister, so what you say must not There is half a lie."

Gongri Gongzan replied: "Zanpu don't worry, what I said must be true."

With Qi Zong Nongzan in front of him, and Sangbuza and Seru Gongdun beside him, Gongri Gongzan would not spout nonsense, but as long as he added a little bit of oil and vinegar to some words, the taste would be completely different.

"Let's talk about it and listen to it." Qi Zong praised.

Qi Zong Nongzan looked at them, knowing that what they said must be related to Lu Dongzan, and also knew that asking these things might cause Tubo monarchs and ministers to discord, but Qi Zong Nongzan still couldn't help but want to ask.

After all, Lu Dongzan, as the prime minister and in charge of military power, has a very good relationship with many important ministers in the country, so he had to be more cautious when he abandoned his Zong Zan.

Gongri Gongzan said: "In Yuanri Dynasty, before Sangbuza formally asked Tang Emperor for marriage, Sangbuza had met Qinling in private, and in order to test Qinling, he also disclosed the marriage to Qinling. Asked him to help mediate, but Qinling refused Sang Buza, and insisted that Emperor Tang would never agree to the marriage, as if he knew it early in the morning.

And Tang Huang's reaction afterwards was exactly as Qin Ling said, and he never agreed to the marriage. I suspect that it was Qin Ling who told Tang Huang what Sangbuza had said, which made Tang Huang ready. "

Hearing this, Sangbuza hurriedly explained: "My Tubo's desire to marry Tang is not a top secret, so I dared to tell Qinling that it was definitely not deliberately leaking the secret, and I hope Zanpu will check it out."

It has not been a day or two since Qi Zong Nongzan wanted to marry the Princess of the Tang Dynasty. Regardless of whether Sang Buza said it or not, Li Ke knew that the failure of asking to marry the Princess of the Tang Dynasty had nothing to do with it. Zong Nong was dissatisfied with Qin Ling's attitude.

Qin Ling is from Tubo and the son of Lu Dongzan, but it is really inappropriate to say these words.

Qizong Nongzan asked Sangbuza: "What he said is true."

What Gongri Gongzan said was not false, and Sang Buza had no choice but to reply: "Kezeng's words are true, but the Qinling may not have been said to the Emperor Tang, and there is no real evidence for it at the moment."

As soon as Sangbuza's words fell, Gongri Gongzan immediately said: "If it wasn't so, why did the Tang Emperor immediately promote Qinling to an official position after the Great Dynasty, and it was still such an important position."
