Chastity Layman

  Chapter 1085 Infighting

   "Has the letter been delivered?"

   "Don't worry, Mr. Wei, our Shou Zhuo Lang has always been reliable in his work, and we guarantee that it will fall into the hands of that man."

  Qin Lang, who was about to send troops, secretly met with the leader of Shouzhuolang before Lei Pass. After a brief secret discussion, Shouzhuolang, who was dressed in Ningyuan Army night clothes, quietly left.

  One day later, Tubo commentator Humang Khyungpo Bangse read a letter repeatedly in his tent, the more he looked at it, the more dignified his face was, while his son was on the sidelines full of excitement.

   "Father, with this oath, we can already get rid of Mangbuje."

  Jongpo Bangse put down the letter in his hand, and sighed, he never imagined that Niangshang Nang would be so bold as to betray Zanpu and Tubo.

"Father, the Niang family is a rebellious minister who has milk and is a mother. I think they were originally the retainers of Semporda King Dajiawu, but they later turned their backs on Dajiawu and defected to Sempor King Chibangsong. They also sang everywhere that Dajiawu I, the king faints at the top, and the servants are worried at the bottom; the king is mad at the top, and the servants flee at the bottom.

  Niang Zenggu, the mother's father and mother, fled to Chibangsong, and received great rewards from Chibangsong, rewarding him with a large amount of land, slaves and livestock, but soon after, Niang Zenggu became greedy and betrayed the monarch again. He secretly colluded with Wei Pangduoreyice, Nong Sangduori Sun, Cai Bang Nasen and others to conspire to betray him, and wanted to defect to Tubo. "

"Niang Zenggu also made a song, saying that on the other side of the Tangtang River and the Yarlung Zangbo River, there is a man, the son of a man, who is actually the heir of a god. Only the real emperor can dispatch him, and only a good saddle can carry him. It is full of praise for Tubo. Pu's flattery!"

  As an old enemy of the Niang family, Khunpo Bangser is of course clear about the history of the Niang family. Like him, they are not natives of Tubo.

Niang was originally a retainer of King Sempo. Before they turned their backs on King Sembo, Sempo was divided into two parts, ruled by the younger and younger kings. Niang was originally a retainer of the great king, and then defected to the younger king, and then went to defect again Simbo's in-laws in Tubo.

  Niangshi colluded with Senbo's important ministers everywhere, swore secretly, and then sneaked into Qingwa Fortress in Tubo, dedicating their oath to Zanpu Tubo, who was Songtsan Gampo's grandfather Dabu Ning Sai Zanpu.

Dabningsai saw that Niang and others were willing to respond internally, so he decided to send troops regardless of his in-law relationship with Senbo, but he died of illness before sending troops, so his son Langri Lunzan decided to continue the campaign, secretly meeting Niang Zenggu and others Minister Samba, make an oath with them.

When Langri Lunzan asked his mother and brother to stay behind and led his elite troops northward to conquer Senbo, Niang Zenggu set up a sentry on the front line to spy on the news, and secretly passed it on to Langri Lunzan, and notified Senbo of Senbo's defensive deployment. he.

  The Wei family and the Cai Bang family personally led troops to act as guides and vanguards. As a result, Chibangsong was defeated and fled to the northern Turks in a panic. Tubo occupied Senbo and changed its place name to Pengyu.

  Senbo is the Lhasa River Basin of later generations. This is the center of the plateau. It is densely populated and flat. It is suitable for farming, farming and animal husbandry, and can be self-sufficient. It laid an important foundation for Tubo to become the overlord of the plateau from the south of the mountain.

   And the Niang family also relied on this credit to become an important upstart in Tubo.

  After Niang Zenggu died, her son, Niang Shangnang, became a prime minister, always holding Khyungpo Bangse down.

   Unexpectedly, now the opportunity has come.

  "Recently, the Tang people have been aggressive. They asked Zanpu to find someone from among the nine ministers to act as a scapegoat to kill him in apology. Zanpu was very troubled. He even offered to redeem him with ten thousand gold, but the Tang people refused."

  San Shangyi discusses the five general managers. These nine ministers are the most important ministers in Tubo, and they have all made great contributions to the rise of Tubo. They are unwilling to kill Zanpu.

   But after talking and talking, the Tang people just refused to let go, and the negotiation could no longer go on.

  Jongpo Bangse, who has always been good at observing his face, has already seen that Zanpu is also in trouble now, so he has deliberately wanted to find a scapegoat to confess to Tang Ren.

   It's just Zanpu who can't make a decision.

   Unexpectedly, now he has such an important thing in his hand.

  He immediately rushed to Zanpu's big tent and asked for a secret meeting with Zanpu.

   "Holy Zamp!"

Qiongpo Bangse waited for no one around, and fell directly at the feet of Songtsan Gampo, holding his boots and kissing, "God bless his descendants, knowing that Dafan is in crisis now, and knowing that I, Qiongpo Bangse Se is loyal to Zanpu, so he gave me the opportunity to defend Dafan and Zanpu."

  He took out a roll of parchment and offered it to Songtsan Gampo.

   "Niang Shangnang conspired to betray Dafan, and has secretly taken refuge in the Tang Kingdom, and now I'm lucky to be discovered, please Zanpu Mingcha!"

  Songtsan Gampo took it suspiciously, opened it and flipped through it, but his complexion changed drastically.

  I saw a passage written on the parchment scroll.

"From now on,

   resolutely betray Tubo Zanpu,

   Resolutely support Datang Tian Khan!

   Never has a beginning and no end,

  Never violate the oath,

  Never treat outsiders as our own,

   Never half-hearted,

  Fight bravely, die desperately,

   Resolutely obey all the will of Datang Tian Khan!

  Resolutely do not accept any temptation from Xiboye Zanpu!

  Tibetan is the most important oath.

From the Xiboye small state in the Shannan period to the overlord of the plateau, Tubo attaches great importance to the oath. Even now, from the leader of the tribal alliance to the real king, Tubo still maintains a strict set of rules. oath system.

   Every year, Zanpu will call nobles to hold an alliance meeting and make an oath together. Even when those important nobles and clans change from old to new, the new family leader must also make an oath to Zanpu before inheriting the title, territory and official position.

  Tibetan people believe that oaths are sacred and cannot be desecrated. As long as you make an oath, you cannot break it.

   Now that Qiongpo Bangse handed over to him the secret oath of Niang Shangnang to the Tang people, how could he not be shocked. The most frightening thing was that Songtsan Gampo could recognize the writing on the sheepskin scroll, which was written in Tubo characters, and it was Niang Shangnang's handwriting.

  Songtsan Gampo would not be wrong about this point. After all, the Tubo script was created only a few years ago, and Niang Shangnang was his prime minister. Songtsan Gampo had read many of his writing.

   "Where did you get it?" Songtsan Gampo asked while restraining his anger.

   "It was the blessing of the gods that gave me the opportunity to discover the conspiracy of the mother!" Qiongpo Bangse slowly explained the whole story.

"Before Niang Shangnang attacked Ningyuan Town and returned in a big defeat. Almost all the 20,000 troops were wiped out, but only their father and son escaped back. Not long ago, my son went to Songzhou for peace talks with Lun Dongzan. I met a few slaves from the Tang Dynasty by accident in Zhouzhou, but I found out that they were my Dafan soldiers. They were the soldiers who accompanied my mother Shangnang father to conquer Ningyuan Town. Later, my son spent a lot of money to buy these slaves back and asked about the war at that time. It turned out that Shang Nang's entire army was wiped out in the battle of Ningyuan Town, and he himself was defeated and captured, and did not escape. This was the fact that those warriors saw with their own eyes. Shang Nang's frog tribe was also captured. I and my son were **** and brought back to Ningyuan Town by the people of the Tang Dynasty..."

"When I found out this fact, I was very surprised, but I couldn't believe it for a while, so I secretly launched an investigation, and I was more careful with my mother, Shang Nang, and finally let me find his feet. Shang Nang has been secretly communicating with Tang people, constantly When reporting the information about our Tubo to the Tang people, even if Zanpu discusses with the ministers, he will tell the Tang people exactly..."

   "Moreover, these days, Shang Nang not only secretly informed the Tang people, but also contacted Senbo's old ministers in secret. Obviously, he wanted to repeat what his father and mother Zenggu did when they betrayed Senbo!"

  ······

Niang Shangnang is the son of Niang Zenggu. Niang Zenggu was the Minister of Senbo back then, and later voluntarily surrendered to Tubo. The minister praised by Lang Ri was highly valued and became an upstart.

  Niang Shangnang also started as a servant of Zanpu. Later, after Langri Lunzan was poisoned, he was worshiped as a prime minister by virtue of his achievements in supporting Songtsan Gampo and pacifying Supi, and was highly valued.

  Niang's position in the current Tubo Dynasty is extremely powerful.

What Qiongbo Bangse said made the young Songtsan Gampo suspicious, especially the ironclad evidence in his hand made the Tang Dynasty oath, which made the young Zanpu think of the history of the Niang family and the history of his father at the time. How he was poisoned and killed by the old noble guards he trusted.

   "Immediately call Shang Nang, I want to hear his explanation!"

  Jongpo Bangse was proud of himself. After leaving the tent, he immediately summoned his son and asked him to go to Niang's camp hundreds of miles away to call Shang Nang and his son.

   "Is it done?"

   "Half done, now Zanpu summons Shang Nang to listen to his explanation."

   "The evidence is so strong, no matter how he explains it, he must be summoned to execute him."

The old fox Qiongpo Bangse is not as simple-minded as his son, "It may not be the case. After all, Niang has a lot of power in Dafan and is resourceful. If he wants to meet Zanpu, he is afraid that things will change. This is a rare opportunity. We must get rid of Shang Nang and uproot Niangshi. You go there yourself, and after you see Shang Nang, just say this..."

Qiongbangbose's son hurried to Niang's camp. After meeting, he secretly told Shang Nang that his father had learned that Zanpu had mistrusted the traitor's slander. He had already surrendered to the Tang people. Now Zanpu is convinced of it, and wants to punish him. He plans to call him back and kill him, and then give his head to the Tang people, just to give the Tang people the conditions to kill nine ministers, killing two birds with one stone.

   "Zanpu is worried that he can't explain to the people of Tang Dynasty. Now the Prime Minister is framed by traitors. Although it has not been verified, but after the Niang family entered Tibet, the power has become stronger, and Zanpu is also very jealous..."

   After listening to Shang Nang, he couldn't help being shocked.

  Although Qiongpo Bangse has always been dissatisfied with Shang Nang, the old fox usually gets along well with Shang Nang, and looks like a good friend. Now he asks his son to inform him, and Shang Nang really believes it.

   After all, the peace talks are not going well now, and the conditions of the Tang people are there.

"My father told the prime minister not to go to see Zanpu now. He will try his best to deal with the prime minister over there. He will definitely help the prime minister to clear up his grievances. When the truth comes to light, the prime minister will go back to see Zanpu and explain it in person. Well, if you go back now, you are afraid of being killed unjustly!"

   "Thank you father and son, otherwise I would really die with regret." Shang Nang immediately decided to follow Qiongpo Bangse's advice and resolutely not to see Zanpu at this time.

  Jongpo Bangse’s son, Kuaima, drove back again. After explaining the situation, the old fox laughed loudly, turned his head and went to see Songtsan Gampo, and attacked Shang Nang in front of Zanpu, saying that he was afraid of crimes and dared not come.

   "It seems that Shang Nang is really about to betray!"

  Songtsan Gampo sighed with a gloomy face. He didn't know whether he should be happy to detect Shang Nang's conspiracy and betrayal in time at this time, or feel sad for the prime minister's betrayal.

While he was still thinking about what to do with Shang Nang, the last straw that crushed Shang Nang appeared. A warrior guard in leopard clothes of Songtsan Gampo was arrested because he stole Zanpu's gold and silver utensils in exchange for him. Drinking wine, this can only be said that the warrior is greedy and stupid.

   But the problem is that after some interrogation, the man actually confessed that he had accepted Shang Nang's money and bribes, that he was secretly doing eyeliner for Shang Nang, and secretly notifying Zanpu's words and deeds for Shang Nang.

This touched the back of the young Songtsan Gampo. His father was poisoned and killed by the guards. Shang Nang, as the prime minister, bribed the guards around him to secretly listen to his words and deeds. Isn't that just treason?

   The fact that Shang Nang conspired against him is even more confirmed.

   "I can't stay here anymore. Since Shang Nang has liaised with the Tang Dynasty and dares not to come here, I will go see him."

   "Why do you need Zanpu to go in person, I am willing to lead troops to fight for Zanpu to destroy Niangshi!"

"Okay, you lead your troops there, you must be fast, you can't let Shang Nang run away. After taking Shang Nang, wipe out all the Niang clans in the army, and don't let them defect to the Tang Dynasty again!" Songtsan Gampo bit He gritted his teeth fiercely.

  Since this is the case, we can only act first.

  If he was in the country, Songtsen Gampo would have to investigate carefully, but now he is on the border of the Tang Dynasty. He cannot bear the consequences of Shang Nang's rebellion, so he must clear Shang Nang quickly.

  Jongpo Bangser got the order, and immediately went back to gather the soldiers and horses. Before leaving the camp, he said to his son, "The prisoners you brought back from Songzhou have made great achievements, and you reward them heavily."

   "How did you find out about the guard who was bribed by Shang Nang, boy, if you have you, you should be rewarded!"

  Jongpo Bangse's son said embarrassedly, "The matter about the guard really has nothing to do with me, I just found out about it."

   "Could it be that God really blessed my Qiongbo family? Hahaha!" Qiongbo Bangse happily ordered his soldiers and horses to fight towards the Niang's camp a hundred miles away.

  He led his troops to the Niang's Camp, first claiming that he had come to visit Zanpu on behalf of Zanpu, who was unable to visit Zanpu's grand minister Niang Shangnang, so that the camp would not be vigilant, and then after entering the camp, he directly ordered a surprise attack.

   "Niang Shangnang betrayed Dafan and Zanpu, and was killed on the spot, and the rest of the army, Niang, were executed together."

   "What about the others?"

   "The former members of the Niang family in the camp, as well as the former ministers of Senbo, are all killed!"

The Niang's camp suddenly fell into a **** storm. Shang Nang hadn't figured out what happened, and before he could speak, he was surrounded by the Qiongbo family's knights and shot him with random arrows. His brothers and sons were also killed. die.

   A **** massacre was cleaned up, and the massacre did not end until dusk. Tens of thousands of people were slaughtered in the camp of tens of thousands of people.

  Jongpo Bangser returned to the Zanpu camp with the heads of Shang Nang and his son who had died in peace. Songtsan Gambo looked at the heads indifferently, and then spat at them.

   "The ones who sent these heads to the Tang envoy in Songzhou and instigated us to attack the Tang Dynasty are all sinners."

  Jongpo Bangse said with a smile, "I don't know what expression the people of Tang will have when they see the head of the Shang Nang they bought in front of them!"

  Songtsan Gampo snorted coldly, "Forgive them for not daring to speak out!"
