Chapter 407 Making Cards in the Void
The next day, Bingyin (ninth day of the third lunar month).

After the Sutra banquet in Jiying Palace, Zhao Xu first performed Taizu Changquan with his companions under the guidance of brother Zhong Jianzhong for about a quarter of an hour to stretch his muscles and bones.

Today, Taizu Changquan has been slowly turned into a palace after-school activity similar to radio gymnastics by Zhao Xu.

After a set of Taizu's long fists, Zhao Xu's body became warm and he started to sweat a little.

When he returned to Jiying Hall, Feng Jing hurriedly led someone to massage and wipe him.

At the same time, a memorial was quietly handed to Zhao Xu.

"Everyone, this is the memorial that Xihelu just sent to the palace." Feng Jing introduced in a low voice.

Zhao Xu nodded, opened the memorial and took a look, and immediately laughed.

This memorial is a joint memorial from Zhao Xi, the envoy of Economic Strategy and Appeasement of Xihe Road, and Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji of the Economic and Border Defense Finance Department.

These three people only reported one thing. The envoy they sent successfully arrived at Qingtang City (also known as Zongge City, the capital of Qingtang Tubo), met Ali Gu, and confirmed that Qingtang Tubo had been killed by Ali Gu. Actual control.

According to the report: The third class, who was promoted to high office, saw Ali's skeleton sitting in the Dongzhan Hall. The big leader Guizhang was given to Bu, Sijie and others, and he and the people who had always served Dongzhan were kissing Ali's bones.He also asked the leaders, Tibetan tribes, etc.: When Dong Fei was about to die, he invited the leaders of the tribes to Qingtang City, and agreed to use Ali's bones as his successor. Today, the leaders, Tibetan tribes, etc. all obey.

"I'm afraid I'll get a lot of benefits from eating Ali's bones." Zhao Xu put down the memorial and laughed scornfully: "You actually said that leaders, tribes, etc. should all obey!"

"Wenba Xi, are Wen Xi heartbroken?"

"Even if Qing Yi becomes a ghost seal, can Ali Gu really control and direct him?"

In Zhao Xu's previous life, it was thanks to the help of the Song Dynasty that Ali Gu truly secured his position as the Tubo Zanpu of the Qing Tang Dynasty.

You Shixiong and Zhong Yi captured Qing Yijie Guizhang, allowing Ali Gu to eliminate the last powerful faction that could threaten Qingtang City.

This may sound a little confusing.

Aren't Ali Gu and Qing Yi Jie Guizhang allies?
Why did the Song Dynasty help Ali Gu secure his position by destroying Qingyi Jie Guizhang?

All I can say is, this is politics.

Sometimes allies are more threatening than enemies in politics.

Because allies can be understood as internal opposition.

Everyone lowered their heads after hearing Zhao Xu's words.

Su Che, the storyteller at Jiying Palace, said softly: "If your Majesty doubts this, you can have Gao Sheng escorted back to Bianjing for interrogation."

It's just a small loan from the third class. Even if there is no evidence, he can be directly put into jail and interrogated carefully.

Zhao Xu chuckled, waved his hand and said: "Talents are rare, and those who understand the Tibetan language are even rarer. For small mistakes, just let Xihelu reprimand them and order them to make meritorious deeds."

To engage in diplomacy, it is necessary to have a group of talents who are familiar with foreign writing, language and customs.

It is very rare for Gao Sheng to chat and laugh with the Tubo people in Qingtang City.

You must know that there are too few people who can still understand Tubo writing, language, and customs.

So being greedy is nothing.

Knock, knock, just straighten your butt next time.

Su Zhe wisely shut his mouth.

Fan Chunren bowed at this time: "Your Majesty, do you think the situation in Tibet has not been stabilized yet?"

Zhao Xu shook his head: "Ali Gu should at least have actual control over Qingtang City."

"The boat has already been made, so we should recognize it and imitate Dong Fe's story, and confer him the title of Prince of Wuwei County and Military Envoy of Xiping Army."

The predecessor of Tubo in the Qing Tang Dynasty was the Alliance of the Six Tubo Tribes.

This alliance is purely an alliance forced by the Dangxiang and the Uighurs to stick together for warmth.

Xisiluo kneaded this alliance into a country.Passed down to this day, the power of tradition has made Qingtang City a royal city recognized by the six Tibetan tribes.

Whoever actually controls the royal city is the actual Zanpu.

In this case, a mature ruler should admit the facts.

After hearing this, Fan Chunren was sincerely convinced and worshiped: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"

Other banquet officials also worshiped: "Your Majesty, you are wise."

What they feared most was that His Majesty was young and energetic, and they even felt that Qing Tang and Tubo were in internal chaos, and that the Song Dynasty could take advantage of it.

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "It's just that where did Qi Ding, the governor of Yizhou, go?" He squinted his eyes: "I have to let Ali Gu give me an explanation, even if it is a false explanation!"

Qiding was the Tubo successor of the Qing Tang Dynasty recognized by Dong Fei and the Song Dynasty.

But at the same time, this person was a thorn in the side of the Song Dynasty.

why?
Because this person married the daughter of the Empress Dowager Daliang of Xixia, his political stance has always been inclined to form an alliance with Dangxiang.

To be honest, if Ali's backbone dies and Qi Ding dies, Zhao Xu should award him a one-ton medal.

But the problem is that you killed Qiding, the governor of Yizhou who was canonized by the Song Dynasty and the legal heir recognized by both countries, but you didn't even say hello to me.

Some are not giving face!
If I don't even ask, how can I be an uncle of the Han family in the future?
So, you have to ask a question, and you have to make up a reason to fool me.

The ministers all lowered their heads as they listened, not daring to answer the question.

After all, in this kind of diplomatic matter, a careless operation may lead to unpredictable consequences.

Zhao Xu put down the memorial: "That's it!"

"Feng Jing." He looked at Feng Jing beside him: "I will tell the Cisheng of the Two Palaces what I mean. I think I can grant Ali Gu the title of King of Wuwei County and Commander of the Xiping Army, but Ali Gu should tell me where the governor of Yizhou, who was conferred by the late emperor, went?"

"Otherwise, how can I explain to the late emperor? How can I be worthy of the Song Dynasty's former Prince of Wuwei and the Commander-in-Chief of the Xiping Army, Dong Fei, as well as the former Taifu and Taibao, the Commander-in-Chief of the Baoshun Army and the Commander-in-Chief of Wuwei, Ji Siluo?"

Zhao Xu has always been very good at grasping the key points.

After studying abroad in modern times, he even learned a unique magical skill - making cards in the void.

This is the secret technique of imperialism and the best way to blackmail people.

Therefore, the focus of this matter is not where Ali Gu nor Qiding went?

The key point lies in the question raised by Zhao Xu.

This will encourage the anti-Ali Gu faction among the six Tubo tribes in the Qing and Tang Dynasties.

At the same time, Ali Gu could also be forced to make concessions to the Song Dynasty for this purpose.

Of course, the premise is that the Song Dynasty must win the next war militarily.

Otherwise, it would not be making cards out of thin air, but destroying the Great Wall and forcing one's enemies to unite.

Fortunately, Zhao Xu knew that the Song Dynasty would win greatly in the next war.

Defeat Dang Xiang's invaders, capture Qingyi's ghost seal, and gain actual control over the entire Minzhou and Hezhou areas.

Let Ali Gu recognize the current situation from now on and obey him obediently.

And all of this was achieved in the early years of his previous life, Yuanyou, when the government was in chaos, the party was in constant contention, and he even cut himself off, leaving a large number of powerful veterans idle.

Now, if Dangxiang and the Tibetan coalition invaded in the second year of Yuanyou again, the Song Dynasty would only win more.

Naturally, we have to seize the time and create cards in the void.
