bastard seizes tang

Chapter 858
Gongri Gongzan is also very clear about what Ludongzan means to Tubo and how much Ludongzan has contributed to Tubo. If possible, Gongri Gongzan does not want to take the risk of touching Ludongzan, but Gongri Gongzan There is no other choice.

Lu Dongzan's prestige both inside and outside of Tubo is too high. If Qizong Nongzan is still alive, he can still overwhelm him, but now that Gongri Gongzan is in power, his brilliance has been completely overshadowed by Lu Dongzan. Not only in the Tang Dynasty, but also in Tubo, there are many people who only know the prime minister Lu Dongzan but not the new Zanpu Gongri Gongzan.

In addition, although Lu Dongzan is talented, he is also stubborn. The national conditions of Tubo are no better than that of Tang Dynasty. Lu Dongzan has been in power for many years. He offended countless people for the prosperity of Tubo. They are all staring at him. Once Lu Dongzan no longer holds power , is no longer the prime minister of Tubo, it is difficult for him to even save his life.

Therefore, he has made great achievements. Although he has never had half-hearted thoughts of rebellion, he can't retreat like Li Jing. He put aside his wealth and became a rich man who enjoys peace. Lu Dongzan is obsessed with power, so he let Gong Rigong Zan became more and more dissatisfied with Lu Dongzan.

For Gongri Gongzan, Lu Dongzan must be moved, but before moving Lu Dongzan, he must first clarify the attitudes of Tang Ting and Li Ke towards his new Zanpu. Before his attitude was clear, he didn't dare to move Lu Dongzan first.

For Gongri Gongzan, what he cares about is the stability of Tubo, avoiding the internal instability of Tubo and at the same time facing the pressure from the Tang Dynasty, so he sent envoys to Chang'an at the beginning of his ascension to test Li Ke After all, in his opinion, as long as Tang Ting doesn't take advantage of the chaos while he is attacking Lu Dongzan, his Zanpu position will not be shaken.

But Gongri Gongzan would not know that what Li Ke cared about was never his Zanpu status, let alone the national conditions of Tubo, what Li Ke cared about was only Lu Dongzan. There are only three people who will have a decisive impact on the future Western Expedition: Qizong Nongzan, Lu Dongzan, and Qinling.

Among the three, Qizong Nongzan is dead, Qinling is already a Tang official, and there is only one Ludongzan left. As long as Ludongzan can be eliminated, even if it is to give Gongri Gongzan enough breathing space , gave him the legitimate Zanpu position, so what?
So on the day when Gongri Gongzan's envoy arrived in Chang'an, Li Ke issued an imperial decree, canonizing Gongri Gongzan as the new Tubo Zanpu in the name of Tian Khan, and bestowed the title of Xihai County King to help Gongri Gongzan. Rigongzan secured the position of Zanpu.

In addition, Li Ke also gave Gongri Gongzan a big gift, that is, when he knew that Gongri Gongzan had ascended the throne and was unable to fight abroad, he decreed to withdraw Pei Xingjian's troops who were originally stationed in Xingsuchuan , Moved away the sharp sword hanging above Tubo's head, and also gave Gongri Gongzan room to show his talents.

Tubo, Luoxie City, Potala Palace.

After Gongri Gongzan's envoy returned to Tubo with the news, Gongri Gongzan was overjoyed, and immediately summoned Chisang Yangdun to the Potala Palace.

Chisang Yangdun is the second chancellor of Tubo, the son of Niya, a former important official of Tubo, and later served under the command of Qizong Nongzan. Ai Zong Nongzan's four confidant ministers are also the auxiliary officials left by Ai Zong Nongzan to Gongri Gongzan.

Although Chisang Yangdun and Lu Dongzan were both confidantes of Qizong Nongzan, Chisang Yangdun was different from Lu Dongzan. He also knew Qizong Nongzan when he was young, so he was reused. It can be said that Qizong Nongzan left it to Gongri Gongzan to contain Lu Dongzan's most important person.

As soon as Chisang Yangdun entered the palace, Gongri Gongzan warmly greeted him and said, "The second prime minister is here."

Chisang Yangdun looked at Gongri Gongzan and asked, "I don't know why Zanpu sent me an urgent message?"

Gongri Gongzan said with a smile: "The news of Chang'an has come back. This matter has a lot to do with it, so I invited the next minister to enter the palace."

Chisang Yangdun looked at the smile on Gongri Gongzan's face, and asked, "Zanpu looks very good, but the emperor's canonization decree has come down?"

Gongri Gongzan said: "The Emperor Tang not only decreed that I would be named Tubo Zanpu, crowned the king of Xihai County, but also ordered the withdrawal of the Tang army stationed in Xingsuchuan. They will not fight with Tubo in a short time. gone."

Chisang Yangdun also showed a smile on his face when he heard the words. Judging from Li Ke's actions, Tang Jun really showed kindness to Tubo. At least it shows that Tang Jun will not fight Tubo in a short time. Even so, after all, Chisang Yangdun is a veteran minister who came over from the period of Qizong Nongzan, so he still thinks a little more about these things.

Chi Sang Yangdun said: "At the beginning of the year, the Tang emperor was still very hostile to us, Tubo. How come there has been such a big change in just one year."

Gongri Gongzan said: "As far as I know, the Tang army mobilized more than [-] troops before and after the First World War. It must have been a lot of money and food loss, and many soldiers were killed and injured. They are unable to fight anymore. This is our right now. Chance."

Hearing the opportunity in Gongri Gongzan's mouth, Chisang Yangdun could also guess what Gongri Gongzan was talking about. Chisang Yangdun said: "What Zanpu said was the great minister Lu Dongzan?"

Gongri Gongzan said: "It is Ludongzan."

Gongri Gongzan was dissatisfied with Lu Dongzan. Chisang Yangdun had always known about this, but Lu Dongzan was different from ordinary courtiers, and he was not easy to move. Chisang Yangdun asked: "If you want to move Lu Dongzan, Zanpu Have you ever made up your mind?"

Gongri Gongzan said: "Lu Dongzan controls seven or eight out of ten of the military power in the country. The generals in the army know Duo Lu Dongzan but don't know me as Zanpu. Is it a way to go on like this? Now the Tang army is shrinking its troops. I don't have any malicious intentions, if I don't take this opportunity to do something again, when will I have to wait?"

Chisang Yangdun listened to Gongri Gongzan's words, and nodded slowly. Lu Dongzan and Gongri Gongzan, if one of them is willing to delegate power and be a person who does nothing, they will not come here One step, but both of them are not the ones to give in, so this conflict is inevitable.

Chisang Yangdun asked Gongri Gongzan: "How does Zanpu plan to move Lu Dongzan? Lu Dongzan is an important minister in the court. He has a high prestige both inside and outside the court. He cannot learn from someone who is unknown. Has Zanpu ever had an idea?"

Gongri Gongzan asked back: "Apa told me before he died that the sub-prime acted prudently, and he should ask the sub-prime more for everything. Can the sub-prime teach me?"

Chisang Yangdun thought for a while, and replied: "Lu Dongzan's power is too great to move, but he can't move too much all at once, otherwise he or his henchmen will overreact and will inevitably backfire."

Gongri Gongzan couldn't wait to move Lu Dongzan, otherwise he wouldn't have informed Chisang Yangdun as soon as he received Li Ke's imperial decree, but seeing Chisang Yangdun's meaning, he felt that he wanted to move Lu Dongzan. Lu Dongzan can't be in a hurry and wants to slowly wear down his power.

Gongri Gongzan needed the support of Chisang Yangdun if he wanted to move Lu Dongzan, and he couldn't deny Chisang Yangdun's words, so he asked, "What do you think I should do?"

Chisang Yangdun said: "Xiangxiong is newly established, the people of Xiangxiong are not yet settled, and there are still wars, why don't Zanpu send Lu Dongzan there in the name of stabilizing Xiangxiong, and keep him away from logic? It will be a matter of time before he loses power. .”
