Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1251

Xianju Hall.

The emperor comforted Princess Saimaga, "Tubo is in chaos for a while, but your brother Qi Zongnong has been conferred by me, and the situation is improving."

The princess is now titled Zhaorong, and she is the second of the second rank and nine concubines. She has her own palace, Xianju Hall in Ziwei Palace, and her status in the palace is still relatively high.In the harem system of the Great Qin Dynasty, one empress, four concubines and nine concubines all had their own palaces.Although Jiujieyu, Jiumeiren, and Jiucairen below them are called the 27th wives, they do not have their own separate palaces, but live in the side hall of the palace of the four concubines and nine concubines, and their status is even lower. The 27 Baolin, 27 Yu Nu, and 27 Cai Nu are also known as the 81 Yu Wife, and they can't even enjoy a separate side hall. It is not bad to have a single room in the palace of those concubines.

Since the princess of Tubo entered Beijing, she did not expect that such a big turmoil would occur in her hometown soon. Her father was poisoned and her younger brothers succeeded to the throne, assisted by uncles and uncles. Taking the opportunity to restore self-reliance, the vassal Qiang also left Tubo.

The original Wuru 61 Dongdai has now preserved the Yalong River Valley, where the Xiboye family started.

Although the princess is in the deep palace, she also knows that the current chaotic situation in Tubo actually has the intention of the emperor.King Xiangxiong sent troops to Tubo, in the name of helping to quell the chaos, but in fact he took the opportunity to invade and seized many places in a row.

It was also with the support of Great Qin that Su Pi broke away from Tubo and became self-reliant, not to mention that Miyao and Bailan Qiang all turned to Qin, while Dangxiang, Dongnv, and Bailang Qiang were directly conquered and annexed by the Qin people. West Hill Road.

"I beg your Majesty to order Li Mixia to withdraw from Tubo. If King Xiangxiong is domineering, if he is not restrained, when he annexes more Tubo lands, his strength will be stronger and it will be difficult to control. At that time It will also harm the interests of Great Qin."

The princess begged bitterly.

My younger brother is only five years old. Although Da Qin canonized him as the king of Tubo, but now everyone is rebellious, how can he control the overall situation anyway.

Luo Cheng was sitting there drinking tea. The tea was brewed by the princess herself. It was filled with Tibetan specialties of Cordyceps sinensis and snow lotus, plus butter and tea. The taste was quite unique, especially with some salt added in it.

However, regarding the situation in Tubo, Luo Cheng had his own plans.

As the princess knows, the current situation in Tubo is exactly what Daqin is happy to see.Nangri Lunzan was still a very aggressive Zanpu. If his reforms with Gardongzan were successful, it would inevitably bring about earth-shaking changes in Tubo. Fortunately, he was too radical and was poisoned by the old nobles.

When he died, he left orphans and widows to face the rebellious old nobles, and even some newly attached nobles from Xindi also left.

Historically, Nangri Zanpu died a few years later. At that time, Tubo’s interior was more stable, especially the external environment was better. With Tuyuhun and Zhuqiang as buffers with the Central Plains, they could continue to unify the plateau with ease. department.

But now, Nangri Lunzan died a few years earlier, especially after he sent troops to Tuyuhun and was defeated, which greatly damaged his prestige. In addition, the Qiangs who were originally attached to him are now under the threat of Daqin, and they have turned back one after another, which makes the situation inside and outside Tubo Both are much worse.

At this time, he also launched more radical reforms. With his death, the situation in Tubo will become much more chaotic and complicated.

At a time like this, how could Daqin just sit back and watch?

Of course not, if you just sit back and watch, Tubo may still be able to quell the rebellion one day. Because of this, although the imperial court did not directly send troops to Tubo, it continued to move.

On the surface, the five-year-old son of Nangri Lunzan was deliberately registered as the king of Tubo. On the surface, of course, it was to support the orthodox heir, but in fact this was to exacerbate the current conflicts and civil strife in Tubo.If Luo Cheng really wants Tubo to end the civil strife as soon as possible, then his best choice is actually to confer Nangri Lunzan's brother as the king of Tubo. royal power.

On the other hand, Luo Cheng superficially condemned those rebellious nobles, but in fact he condoned them, and even secretly traded with them, selling them armaments and horses.

Not to mention that Daqin took the opportunity to let Subi, a country that had been annexed into Tubo as the fifth country, break away from independence again, and let Miyao and Bailan, two Qiang kingdoms close to Tuyuhun, which were already vassals of Tubo, also regain their independence. Independence from Tubo.

This series of actions, together with letting Xiangxiong send troops to Tubo to help quell the chaos, actually took away all the outer territories that Tubo had fought hard for generations.

Now in Tubo, only the traditional land of U-Tsang is left, and as a result, three major forces have formed: the Xiboye royal family, the old Tubo nobles, and the attached new nobles.

"Tomorrow, I will issue an edict to King Xiangxiong, Li Mixia, to hand over the captured rebel territory to Qi Zongnong." Luo Cheng held his teacup and said.

After receiving Luo Cheng's edict, Xiangxiong King Li Mixia took a tiger skin as a banner and led more than [-] Xiangxiong troops to attack Tubo. Livestock population, this guy is indeed a little too proud recently.

Let him continue to fight, and the delicate balance of the plateau will be broken by him. At that time, Xiangxiong will turn against the enemy, and it is possible to really wipe out Tubo.

He must be stopped, and he must even be forced to withdraw from Tubo and hand over the territory he has laid down to Qi Zongnong.Right now, the royal family in Qi Zong Nong is the weakest, so handing over the land occupied by Xiangxiong to him will just balance the three major Tubo forces so that they can continue to fight.

"Thank you saint."

The princess was overjoyed, "Saint, stay here to rest tonight, I still have two bottles of good wine here."

The princess brought Gaochang grape wine, and the more Luo Cheng drank it, the hotter he felt.

It even felt a little blood-boiling in the end.

"What is added to this wine?"

"Deer blood, fresh deer blood. Knowing that His Majesty is visiting the Xianju Palace today, he specially asked for a deer from the palace."

When Luo Cheng heard that it was fresh deer blood wine, he couldn't help but get a headache. No wonder the effect is so strong. Even old people can liven up after drinking this wine, but young people can get full after drinking it.

He beckoned to Feng Lishi, his eyes expressed dissatisfaction.

"Saint, the Bureau of Shangshi said that a saint can strengthen his body by drinking some deer blood once in a while."

Luo Cheng felt that his body was too hot, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with Feng Lishi, "Go out."

Seeing Luo Cheng's appearance, the princess also knew that the effect was onset, so she got up and came to help the emperor.

"A concubine undresses a saint."

Luo Cheng nodded, he couldn't even wait for a bath, so he waved back and forth.

Outside the hall, Qi Jilang and Left and Right Shidu each held a pen, with the pen in one hand and the scroll in the other, and began to record what was happening in the hall at this time.

On the other hand, Feng Lishi, the supervisor of the palace, also said to an eunuch, "Remember the date and time, the saint Xianju hall is blessed with the Tubo princess Saimaga Zhaorong."

A waiter asked in a low voice, "Do you want to prepare the Bizi Tang?"

"Get ready first, and ask the sage later." Feng Lishi said.

outside the temple.

A group of people waited there, and it turned out that they waited for an hour.

"Eunuch, I've heard this several times. This deer blood is too strong. Can a saint take it?" Xu Jingzong, the living man in charge of recording the emperor's daily life, reminded Feng Lishi.

Feng Lishi was standing there with his eyes squinted, but he opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the sky outside.

"Let's go to remind the saint."

Feng Lishi knocked on the door, "Saint, it's been an hour, be careful."

Some impatient voices came from the room, and then continued, Feng Lishi was a little helpless.

"Wait a little longer!"
