Wentang

Chapter 818 Death of a Hero
Gong Ri Gong Zan is dead?

This is a big event, especially in such a sensitive period, so people have to think about it.There are also people who doubt the authenticity of the matter and use all means to inquire about the most accurate information.

Soon a series of things happened in the palace confirmed this speculation.

First, the imperial doctors sent by Datang were dragged out with bruises and were about to beheaded. Fortunately, the envoys of Datang arrived in time to save their lives.

Then the two sides began to blame each other. Songtsen Gampo thought that these people did not treat his son well, damn it.

The Datang side accused Songtsan Gampo of venting his anger on others and killing innocent people to vent his anger.

So far, the two sides have had troubles, and the smooth transfer of power has stagnated, and even some small frictions have occurred between the two sides.

The situation suddenly became tense.

Immediately afterwards, the royal palace began to arrange funeral affairs, which was very grand.Everything proves that Gongri Gongzan's death is true.

"Haha...Gao Ming, really smart, poisoning Songtsan Gampo's son under the nose, I feel happy just thinking about it."

"It's really clever, and it really deserves to be a nobleman who has been passed down for thousands of years in Tubo, I admire it."

"What I didn't expect was that Songtsan Gampo actually wanted to kill the imperial doctor of the Tang Dynasty to vent his anger, which created a mess on both sides."

"Yeah, we didn't do anything, and Songtsen Gampo broke with the Tang people. God helped me."

"Then do we still want to spread rumors?"

"Sure, it's called adding fuel to the fire."

"Okay, let's all act together and spread rumors."

Soon the gossip about Datang's poisonous killing of Gongri Gongzan spread, and the words were well-spoken.The people of Tang were worried about Songtsan Gampo, and wanted him to completely sever the inheritance of Tubo.

What, you mean evidence?If it was a fake Zanpu, why did he kill the imperial doctor of the Tang people?
Even if it is to vent anger, everyone should be killed together. Why kill Tang people only?It was because he found out that it was the Tang people who had poisoned him.

And don't you see the non-stop anger conflict between the two sides? This is the best proof.The more you say it, the more people you will believe.

People's grievances against Datang also began to arise.

During Songtsen Gampo's reign, he advocated the abolition of slavery, limiting the power of the old dignitaries, and loosening the ties of the people, so his reputation among the people is still very high.

This is why he has been able to resist internal and external troubles for so long, and the people's will.

Now that we, Zanpu, have chosen to be attached, you are still trying to kill his only blood, which is too much of a bully.Although they didn't dare to resist openly, they began to make small moves behind their backs.

The news quickly spread to Su Pi and Zhang Zhuong next door, and the two countries were also a little dumbfounded.The change is too fast, isn't it fine a few days ago?Why did Gongri Gongzan die suddenly?
Then they got excited. Regardless of whether Datang did it or not, it seemed that there was a huge conflict between the two parties.

So... let's fight, fight, hurry up, it's best for both sides to lose.

Tubo Palace.

Songtsan Gampo looked at his guard commander and asked, "Zhuoga, how is the investigation going? Have you found out who poisoned you?"

Zhuoga said: "I came to you for this matter, the murderer who poisoned has been found."

Songtsengan preached, "Who is it?"

Zhuoga said: "Qiangba, the cook of the royal palace. Kezeng likes to eat meatball soup, so he separated the poison of the heartbroken grass and put it in the meatballs."

"There is very little poison in each meatball. Eating just one or two will not cause poisoning, but eating too many will be fatal."

"He used this method to cheat the food and drug test, and delivered the meatball soup to Ke Zeng."

Songtsan Gampo was also surprised but more angry: "It's such a good method. As a cook, he must have never thought of such a method. There must be someone behind him. Can anyone ask who is behind the scenes?"

Zhuoga said: "No, he is very strict with his mouth. He has used all the tortures in turn and he just doesn't say anything."

Songtsan Gampo said in a cold tone: "Then arrest his family members and kill them one by one in front of him, to see if his mouth is still tough."

Zhuoga said: "I have sent someone to check on his house. All his family members have disappeared. I learned from the neighbors that his wife left with all the children in the name of visiting relatives a month and a half ago."

Songtsan Gampo asked, "A month and a half ago?"

"In other words, they were already planning to poison at that time. There were many opportunities during the period, why wait until now?"

Soon he thought of a possibility: "Could it be to put blame on the Tang people, so as to drive us apart?"

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat. It's a good thing that these people didn't do it early, and it's a good thing that Li Shimin sent an imperial doctor, otherwise his son would have died long ago.

"Continue to investigate, we must find out who is behind the scenes."

"Yes."

After Zhuoga left, he began to guess who was poisoning his son.But soon he discovered that everyone seemed to be suspicious.

Not to mention the old dignitaries, they are the ones who are most motivated.But it is not impossible for the new rich and powerful, after all, not everyone is willing to be included.

Even Datang is suspected of buying people's hearts by poisoning and detoxifying.

It wasn't that he was suspicious, but that it was unreasonable for Li Shimin to send a team of imperial doctors out of nowhere, and it was a coincidence that the person who poisoned him waited until they arrived.

In his opinion, finding out whether Datang did it is more important than finding out the real culprit.

In the future, Gongri Gongzan will go to Datang to live. If they really did it, then the attached things will have to be reconsidered.

As long as it wasn't done by Datang, the rest would be easy to handle.

Send Gongri Gongzan to Datang, and he stays and kills all suspected people in Tubo.

Anyway, it has already been attached, and I can't live long, so I just come to be more ruthless and avenge the killing of my father back then.

Presumably Datang is also happy to see this situation.

While thinking about it, Lu Dongzan came over.

"Zamp, I found something."

"What clue?" Songtsen Gampo asked with a boost of energy.

Lu Dongzan said: "I suspected that this matter was done by Dele and others, so I sent people to monitor them and found that they have been spreading rumors behind their backs."

"In order to get more information, I used the tactic of scaring the snake away, deliberately letting the people we monitored reveal their whereabouts, and they were really fooled."

"Yesterday our people discovered that Dele's servants had quietly left the city and went to the mountains, so they followed them up. Then they found out that they were going to kill people and throw their bodies. All seven members of the family living in the cave were killed."

Songtsan Gampo seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Has the identity of the murdered person been identified?"

Lu Dong praised: "Investigating."

Songtsan Gampo told Lu Dongzan the results of Zhuoga's investigation just now, and expressed his speculation: "These seven people are probably Jamba's family, and Dele is killing people to silence them."

Lu Dongzan also agreed deeply: "It is very possible that he has a guilty conscience and sees our people watching him and thinks that we have found clues, so he is eager to silence Qiangba's family."

Songtsan Gan preached, "Did you bring the corpse back?"

Lu Dongzan immediately understood what he meant: "Bring it back, I will let Zhuoga take someone to identify it."

The results of the identification confirmed their guess that these corpses belonged to Jamba's family.

And Qiangba, who has been clenching his teeth and never letting go, also completely collapsed after seeing the dead body of his family, and explained everything.

The reason why he betrayed Songtsan Gampo was simple and old-fashioned, and he was caught by the gamble.Dele threatened his family and promised not only to forgive his gambling debts but also to give him a large sum of money.

Dele also taught him the method of dispersing the toxin of the heartbroken grass and putting it in the meatballs.

Songtsan Gampo heaved a sigh of relief after learning that the poison was caused by Dele, as long as it wasn't done by the people of Tang, this means that Gongri Gongzan can go to Datang and live in peace.

At the same time, he is also very grateful to Li Shimin. Although he failed to cure his illness, he accidentally saved his son.

Songtsan Gampo, who got the conclusive evidence, was not in a hurry to take revenge, but pretended not to know anything, and went even more frantically to investigate the real culprit, making people mistakenly think that he was on the verge of collapse after losing his only son.

Then he continued to hold a funeral for his son, and asked all the people of status and status in Tubo to come to his funeral.

The people in Tubo didn't notice the abnormality. Ke Zeng's status and respect for his funeral would have come to attend.

Songtsan Gampo specially ordered everyone to come to participate. At most, everyone thought he was crazy.

On the day of the funeral, Songtsan Gampo mobilized an army to seal off the entire palace.

When the robust Gongri Gongzan appeared in front of everyone, everyone was surprised and realized that everything before was just acting.

Dele and others have already realized that something is wrong, and many people who have participated in the planning have been scared out of their wits.

The rest of the matter is simple, the evidence is so strong that before Songtsan Gampo can be tortured, someone has already taken the initiative to recruit him.

Songtsan Gampo was merciless and killed all these people and confiscated their property...

After solving this matter, Songtsan Gampo sent Gongri Gongzan to Chang'an, so as not to stay here and be assassinated again.

"I know that you are a capable person. Sooner or later you will become an official and show off your talents after going to Chang'an, but as a father, I only have one request for you."

Gong Ri Gong praised: "Say it."

Songtsan Gampo said solemnly, "I hope you leave an heir before you become an official."

Gongri Gongzan said solemnly: "Okay, I will listen to you."

Songtsan Gampo nodded in satisfaction, and said reluctantly, "Let's go."

Gongri Gongzan suppressed his tears and said with a choked voice, "Yes, take care, I'll be waiting for you in Chang'an."

Songtsen Gampo didn't answer him, but turned around so that he couldn't see his tears.

After riding a horse for a long distance, Gongri Gongzan turned his head and still found the figure of his father watching him. He couldn't hold back his tears any longer.

He knew that a farewell today would be a farewell forever, and with his father's pride, he would not go to Chang'an as a servant.

After Gongri Gongzan left, Songtsan Gampo completely let go of his hands and feet, and began to deal ruthlessly with those who obstructed the transfer of power, especially the old dignitaries who found the opportunity to ransack their families and exterminate their clans.

In fact, after the poisoning incident, there were not many people in Tubo who dared to object to the internal attachment.

Some dignitaries really didn't want to be Tang people, so they took their tribesmen to the deep mountains and old forests to live a primitive life again.

Without these obstructions, the transfer of power between the two parties proceeded very smoothly.

After Datang took over the power, he directly implemented the laws of the Tang Dynasty here, completely abolished the slave system, and took back all the privileges of the powerful.

Although it caused a small commotion, it won the support of the people at the bottom and laid a good foundation for the future rule of Datang.

After half a year like this, Datang finally completely took over the regime of Tubo. In order to win the hearts of the people, and also to recuperate, Datang exempted Tubo from taxes for three years.

It also mobilized a large amount of food and daily necessities from neighboring countries to aid the disaster victims in Tubo.The genuine food quickly stabilized the hearts of the people, and the rule of Datang gradually stabilized.

In addition, at the suggestion of Songtsan Gampo, the Jiqu River Bend was transformed with relief from work.

And Songtsan Gampo's condition is getting worse day by day, to the point where he can't walk on the ground, but he still persists.

During this period of time, Gongri Gongzan also kept writing to him, telling him about his life in Chang'an.I told him the good news a few days ago that he was going to be a grandfather.

Although it is not known whether it is a boy or a girl, it is good news that the son will soon have an heir, and Songtsan Gampo let go of the last worry in his heart.

On this day, he finally closed his eyes in the palace, and his most trusted comrade-in-arms Lu Dongzan sent him off for the last time.

Then Lu Dongzan personally presided over his funeral and buried him in the ancestral land.

After dealing with all this, Lu Dongzan led the Tubo dignitaries on the road to Chang'an.

After the enclave, the original Tubo dignitaries had to go to Chang'an to accept the enfeoffment again, the purpose was to prevent them from staying there to do things.

……

Returning to Chang'an, Yue Shan's new book "The Great Emperor of Han Wu" was published, along with "Golden House Cangjiao", both of which caused a huge sensation.

Especially "Golden House Cangjiao", whether it is the novel writing technique, or the content of the material, as well as the thoughts expressed are all unique, and it is regarded as a rare book in the world.

This book was welcomed by the whole people as soon as it came out, and it was truly popular by the whole people.Mr. Storyteller will be kicked out if he can't tell the jokes of this book.

Relatively speaking, the audience of "Han Wu Da Di" is much smaller, but it is more popular with scholars and historians.

The writing method is also very novel, and what is even more novel is the angle.Interpret the life of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty from an unprecedented perspective, and after reading it, let them have an idea that history can still be interpreted in this way.

But it doesn't mean that this book is not popular with ordinary people. There are too few entertainment methods these days. It is rare to see such a historical novel, and everyone still likes to listen to it.

So some storytellers removed the more professional and obscure parts of this book, and only told simple stories, which were also very popular.

Yue Shan also knew what happened in Tubo, and he felt a little speechless about the poisoning of Gongri Gongzan. The old powerful slave owners in Tubo were too cooperative, right?

From Li Shimin's point of view, Yue Shan's calculations were accurate, which made him more worried about his upcoming disaster, but at the same time, he also had more confidence in surviving this disaster.

After all, Gongri Gongzan's death can be survived, and his should be fine.

Time has entered June unknowingly, and the weather has become hot, but at the same time it is also the harvest season.

On this day, Yueshan was invited to the experimental field of the Department of Biology to harvest and cultivate special potatoes.
