Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Guo Ye chuckled, waved his hands, and whispered in Zhao Jiuchou's ear, "Don't forget my current identity. I am an envoy of the Tang Dynasty. Queen Yunrong's foundation in Tubo is not stable. How could Yu Wenqian Dare to harm me? Hehe, this woman is shrewd, she won't be so stupid. She is anxious to get rid of the conservative forces of Wulu Denai and Tubo Kingdom. Not me, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty. Don't worry!"

After saying that, Guo Ye said generously, "Passion, lead the way ahead. I also want to see how magnificent the Potala Palace in Tubo Kingdom is."

Guo Ye has visited the Potala Palace more than once in later generations, but only now has the opportunity to see the authentic Potala Palace.

He is looking forward to this very much.

……

……

Potala Palace.

It stands on the red mountain with an altitude of more than [-] meters in the northwest of Luoxie City, Tubo. It is a large-scale castle-style building complex.

It covers a total area of ​​36 square meters, with a total construction area of ​​13 square meters. The main building is more than [-] meters high, with a total of [-] floors.In the royal palace, there are not only royal palaces, but also Tibetan Buddhist spiritual pagoda halls, Buddhist halls, scripture halls, monk houses, courtyards... everything is available. It is the highest and largest castle-style building complex in the world.

Standing at the foot of the Red Mountain, Guo Ye looked up at the overlapping buildings, towering palaces, and the majestic Potala Palace. It can be compared with the Potala Palace in Lhasa for tourists to visit in later generations.

It has the potential to be born out of the sky and penetrate the sky.

The Potala Palace is the ruling center of the Tubo rulers, and it is also the winter palace of the Dase Lamas of later generations. It will always be the most dazzling and eye-catching existence in the Tubo Kingdom.

Guo Ye knew that this Potala Palace was specially built for him by Songtsan Gampo after he ascended the throne, and it took several years to build it with all the financial, material and manpower of the Tubo Kingdom.

It's a pity that Songtsen Gampo was also an unlucky person. He died just a few years after the completion of the Potala Palace.This suddenness may have been unexpected in history.

Guo Ye followed the arsenic from the foot of the Red Mountain to trek up to the Potala Palace on the top of the mountain.The road from the bottom of the mountain to the palace on the mountain is naturally not as convenient and labor-saving as the later generations of tourism. It took a lot of effort, even though Guo Ye is physically strong, he was exhausted after climbing to the top of the mountain, panting and sweating profusely.

On the other hand, Arsenic was not much better than Guo Ye, leaning on a boulder, shouting and panting.

He was so fucking tired, Guo Ye was speechless for a while, it was so hard to enter the palace, Songtsan Gampo really had enough time to spare, and actually built the palace on a high mountain with an altitude of more than 3000 meters.

Of course, he could also understand the real purpose of Songtsan Gampo's move. He built the palace on a high mountain just to keep a distance from the Tubo people, maintain his glorious image of being superior, and let the foolish people always treat him with respect. Their zanpu maintains the psychology of worship and admiration.

These are all leftover tricks played by the feudal monarchs of all dynasties, but Songtsan Gampo played them even more wickedly.

After resting for a while, Pi Fen straightened up and raised his hand to point to the palace gate lined with guards not far in front, and said, "My lord envoy, without the queen's order, the general cannot enter the palace without permission. Therefore, I can only send you Now that you are here, someone will greet you in front of you and bring you into the palace to meet Queen Yunrong."

Guo Ye waved his hands with a groan, and said generously: "Okay, I'll go there by myself, you go down the mountain first."

After speaking, he also straightened up and adjusted the purple robe on his body, adjusted the official hat on his head, repaired his appearance a little, and was about to walk forward.

Suddenly, Arsenic lowered his voice and whispered softly: "Master Hou, please stay!"

Guo Ye stopped abruptly, turned around and looked back at Arsenic, with a slightly surprised expression on his face, because he heard Arsenic call him Lord Marquis, not the formulaic envoy.

After he turned around, he saw Arsenic put his hand on his chest, and said in a low voice, "Master Hou, Arsenic will always be from Dongchang, and will always be loyal to Lord Marquis. Because of the many eyeliners in and out of the city, , please forgive me for not paying homage to Lord Hou."

Guo Ye smiled when he heard the words, glanced left and right subconsciously, and after making sure that there was no one around, he said in a low voice: "Arsenic, you really did not disappoint the Marquis."

Arsenic is one of the few dark chess pieces that Guo Ye first ambushed in Dongchang, went to Tuyuhun with Yu Wenqian, and then moved to Tubo.

Arsenic carefully looked around, then glanced at the guards lined up at the gate of the palace in the distance without any trace, and then hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Lord Hou, none of the dark chess pieces you placed in Dongchang have ever betrayed, everyone Everyone is holding back their energy and looking forward to the day when they can set things right and work for Lord Hou. This time, the opportunity has finally come. Although Lord Hou entered the palace with confidence and boldness, the chief of the palace guards inside is also ours, and you placed him in the palace before. One of the dark chess pieces next to Yuwenqian. Moreover, Queen Yunrong trusted him so much that even Mrs. Yuwen never doubted his identity."

After hearing this, Guo Ye was very touched, and said solemnly: "Arsenic, you have worked hard for such a long time. This time when the Marquis comes to Tubo, he will definitely take Dongchang back into his hands. Yu Wenqian, this bitch It’s time to hand over Benhou’s Dongchang.”

Pi Shuang shook his head, and said: "Master Hou, this is not a place to talk. After you go to the palace feast of Queen Yunrong and Mrs. Yuwen, the general will invite other dark chess pieces to find a chance to meet Hou Master Hou, please take care, the arsenic has gone down the mountain first."

After finishing speaking, Arsenic immediately turned around and left towards the mountain like a thunderbolt.

Guo Ye watched the arsenic disappear gradually until it turned into a white dot, and he muttered to himself: "Okay, with your help, these old men in the city are at least [-]% sure to win!"

After the voice fell, he turned around and watched the steps of the Potala Palace, which was close at hand, move forward. With a slight smile on his face, he murmured confidently:

"Yu Wenqian, here I come!"

Chapter 934

Before Guo Ye approached the main gate of the palace, a group of guards in charge of the guard swarmed up and surrounded Guo Ye with their knives.

Seeing Guo Ye speaking Chinese, one of the guards stopped everyone immediately and asked Guo Ye's identity in awkward Chinese.

Guo Ye didn't bother with them, and immediately revealed his identity as the envoy of the Tang Dynasty.

In an instant, the guard's face changed suddenly, and his attitude became respectful. He asked Guo Ye to wait for a while, and then flew back into the palace.

Soon, a 27-year-old young man with an extremely ordinary appearance followed the guards out of the palace, came to Guo Ye, bowed respectfully, and said: "The last general, Li Luojia, who is the commander of the guards of the palace, has seen the envoys of the Tang Dynasty." Lord Guo. Lord Guo, the queen has been waiting for a long time, please follow me in!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand to screen away the dozens of guards surrounding him, and led Guo Ye into the palace in big strides.

Guo Ye remained silent and followed behind the commander of the Tubo palace guards, thinking to himself, Li Luojia... is actually the name of our Han people. Why do I have no impression of this name, but I am somewhat familiar with this person's appearance? ?Hiss... so it was this kid.

As if, he remembered who the leader of the guards was leading the way in front of him.Arsenic also mentioned when he left just now that the commander of the palace guards was a hidden pawn that he had laid in an ambush back then, and it turned out to be him.

In a trance, Guo Ye recalled the information of the person in front of him...

Li Luojia, the first batch of factory guards recruited by Dongchang, is a veteran of Longxi soldiers, and his nickname in Dongchang is Shahu.

Guo Ye vaguely remembered that when his father, Mrs. Guo, died of illness in Xianyou, this kid was ordered by him to go to Xichuan Xiaodu Protector's Mansion to inform Pang Feihu and others for him.

Guo Ye wasn't worried at all about this idiot's loyalty to him. His old base, Old Longxi, had been ordered by him to lurk down and wait for an opportunity.

Now, these nails that have been driven down finally come in handy.

The wolf girl Arsenic just now, and now the silly tiger Li Luojia, if I remember correctly, I still have three hidden chess pieces, one is called Turtledove, the other is called Crow, and the other is Hammer.

Shit, Guo Ye was secretly funny, these five nicknames that are difficult to wait for the elegant hall were still taken by An Ye.

Looking at Li Luojia, the silly tiger who was leading the way, he has now risen steadily and become the commander of the guards of the Tubo Palace, while the wolf girl Pishuang has become the commander of the capital's garrison. These two positions play a vital role .Guo Ye suddenly secretly looked forward to it, wondering how the other three people were doing.

He wandered all the way, and he had no time, let alone enjoy the inside of the Potala Palace. He didn't stop until he followed Shahu to the door of a palace that looked like a palace.

Because, the silly tiger also stopped, obviously reaching the place.

Shahu lowered his voice, turned his head and said quietly: "Your Majesty, you're here, the palace is safe with your subordinates, so you can rest assured."

Guo Yesheng was afraid that Yuwenqian's people would see him whispering to Shahu, so he didn't respond much. He hummed lightly and asked, "Luo Jia, is Yuwenqian inside?"

"Master Hou should call me a silly tiger, my subordinates will feel at ease after hearing this."

The silly tiger grinned innocently, and then said in a low voice: "Reporting to Lord Hou, Mrs. Yuwen and Queen Yunrong are both in the palace. Mrs. Yuwen has explained that we and the palace guards are not allowed to enter without permission. So the subordinates can only sent you here."

Guo Ye nodded to express his understanding, and then asked: "What about Yu Wenqian not daring to take this Marquis for the time being, silly tiger, remember, never reveal your identity unless it is absolutely necessary. It is useful to keep it body, prepare for the big event in the future.”

Shahu knew the true meaning of Guo Ye's words, which meant that he had been lying in wait for so long, and finally got the chance to make a contribution.Immediately, he couldn't help but frowned, but it was fleeting, and he quickly suppressed it. Then he hummed, restored his original expression, turned around and left calmly.

Guo Ye, on the other hand, stepped over the threshold of the main hall, and within a few steps after entering, two maids in Tubo costumes came up to greet him, saluted Guo Ye Yingying with a coquettish salute, and then copied it by heart He said in unison in Chinese: "Please refer to the envoy, the queen will hold a banquet in the back for a long time, please go with the maidservants."
