Crown Tang emperor

Guo Wanjun was also dumbfounded by the local king, and quickly got off his horse and said: "Duke Zhen is now serving Longxi and guarding Qinghai. I will tell the truth about Dudu Li's kindness after returning to China. This trip is making General Zhang, He is also a talented man in the court and a confidant of a saint, so let me introduce you to the governor!"

When Tu Wang heard this, a more respectful expression appeared on his oily face, and he didn't know how the fat cheeks made such a layered expression.

Although Tu Wang was weak, Zhang Shuo did not neglect, dismounted from his horse to greet him, and then went straight to Daowu City, Zhoucheng.

The hometown of Fuguo was originally a rare densely populated place in the territory. In the early years, it was also a very important node in the Eastern Region under the control of Tubo. Now it has become more prosperous with the prosperity of commerce and trade.

The original Daowu City was expanded more than twice, and it also imitated the structure of the inland city. Many Tang merchants who were active on this business road bought mansions and warehouses in the city, making the city more prosperous.

And around the city, there are also many local Qiang people who live on the mountain wall and add buildings. Like the mountain city where the Tubo army was located when Guo Yuanzhen and the others arrived earlier, they are now full of people who provide services around Daowu City. Tuqiang people.

The Governor's Mansion in Daowu City is several times larger than the Tuwang Palace in previous years, occupying almost one-third of the entire Daowu City. The manor is comparable.It's just that Ma Fang in the mission sighed again and again when she saw such a pattern, and felt that everything was not pleasing to the eye.

The reason why the earth king Li Yiling is so enthusiastic is not because he wants to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.Although he was almost killed before, after boarding the big ship of Datang, he realized that the happiness he thought of in the past was not real happiness, and his life now is simply too comfortable.

Before surrendering to Tubo, although he could also be a puppet, he had to face the extortion and plunder of various Tubo dignitaries. In order to satisfy those Tubo dignitaries, he even needed to maintain a close relationship with some smugglers in Datang, and he also had to worry about what would happen to him. Tongtang will not be held accountable by Tubo.

However, after surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, except for the cooperation of some government orders in Yazhou and Yizhou, there is no need to worry about anything else. Even the planning and reconstruction of this royal city are in charge of officials and craftsmen from the inland.

As an important trade route, he can earn a lot of money just by sitting on the ground. Although he also needs to donate tribute to the imperial court, it is much easier to squeeze out than the former Tubo dignitaries.Moreover, the sage of the Tang Dynasty is unparalleled in handsomeness, elegance and kindness, which is far more reassuring than the ferocious Zanpu in Tubo.

If it wasn't for the court's trust and reuse, he would still be sent back to East Tibet to preside over the situation. He even wanted to settle in Chang'an directly and enjoy the prosperity and wealth of Chang'an for the rest of his life.

From this, the earth king came to a conclusion that to be a dog, one must also choose a good master.He saw the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty with his own eyes last year. With such a suzerain, even a cow's hair would be much fatter than a cow given by Tubo, let alone Tubo would not give it to him at all.

This time when the envoy of the Tang Dynasty entered the country, the king of Tu also tried his best to entertain him, and even let his wife and concubine come to serve him in person, bragging to Guo Wanjun that he had given birth to several sons in the past two years.

After the group stayed in Daowu City for two days, Sang Dongzan, the governor of Xikang Prefecture and the direct brother of the Queen of Xikang, led the crowd to Daowu City, and the guards led the mission to Kangyanchuan, the capital of Xikang.

Since Daowu City continues to move forward, it has officially entered the snow area. Although the road conditions have improved due to the development of commerce and trade, for many members of the mission who have lived in the interior for a long time, the high-altitude climate still takes a toll on their bodies. A lot of discomfort came.However, the army had its own doctor to take care of it, and people from Xikangzhou took good care of it and taught it some things about activities in the plateau area, so everyone got used to it very quickly and did not delay the trip.

At this time, the season has already reached the end of the first month, but the climate in Tibet is still extremely cold.

When he was about to reach the heartland of Xikang Prefecture, Zhang said that he noticed some native herdsmen lying on the ground picking up things on some mountains with little vegetation cover. In such a severe cold climate, although the herdsmen were wrapped in leather, But lying on the ground is also extremely cold. Many people are slow to move due to frozen limbs, and even fall directly from the steep hillside.

"What are they doing?"

Seeing this strange scene, Zhang Shuo couldn't help asking.

Sang Dongzan, who was traveling with him, said with a smile after seeing this: "This is a search for precious treasures of Tibetan medicine, which are exchanged for brocade in the market. These wild people are born in a humble life. In the next life, cast yourself as the seed of wealth and honor!"

While speaking, he raised his finger and pointed to a Dharma wheel near the mountain road. Zhang said that he was waiting for someone to fetch it, but Sang Dongzan quickly raised his hand to stop it and said, "This should not be moved lightly. People in Zuojin rely on it to spread its name. If it can be spread to the ears of the great mage sitting in Xikang City and set up an altar for him to eliminate his sins, he will have eternal blessings! If you take away his cattle and sheep felt tent, you will suffer only for a while, but if you harm his practice, you will be an eternal enemy Already!"

Zhang didn't know much about these folk customs, but after hearing this, he stopped letting people move the scripture building lightly, and took a closer look, only to see that the scripture building was extremely exquisite in both workmanship and materials. The brocade material is made of white jade, inlaid with many small pearls, jade and gemstones. At the bottom, there is a half-collared yak skin inscribed with Tibetan characters, which is the name and life experience of the owner of the scripture building.

"I'm afraid the cost of this scripture building is not low?"

Zhang said that after carefully appreciating the scripture building, he asked thoughtfully.

Sang Dongzan didn't know much about these matters, so he raised his hand and summoned a Tibetan attendant to ask for an interpreter, and then replied: "Such a magic weapon can only be made by working hard for ten years if there are only one bill, and both men and women are strong. The ones that can be built are all the wealth of wealthy people. The more beautiful the building is, the easier it is to attract mages to visit and be famous, and they can participate in great gifts..."

Zhang said that he nodded after listening, and stopped asking further questions, got on his horse and continued to go to Xikang City.

Xikang City is located in the center of Kangyan River. It was built by the expansion of the original King Sun Bo City. Regardless of the size of the city, the most eye-catching thing is a big pagoda.In the old days of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, Buddhism flourished, and grand temples were often built inside and outside the city of Luoyang, the capital of gods, but compared with the current pagoda in the city, it still pales in comparison.

The terrain of Kangyan River is flat and open. This big pagoda stands between the sky and the earth, and it can be seen from a distance. It makes people feel admiration and worship.And the whole city is also spread out layer upon layer with this pagoda as the center, and all kinds of buildings in the city look a bit gloomy against the background of this pagoda.

When the delegation entered the city, there were devout believers burning incense and prostrating to the pagoda in the street. Zhang Shuo couldn’t help but sigh with emotion: “I thought that the people in distant countries were ignorant, but I didn’t expect to be so sincere in serving the Buddha. There are many Buddhas on the ground. The pure and good style of the country!"

Hearing Zhang's praise, Sang Dongzan also looked proud, looking in the direction of Chang'an and sighing: "After all, the saint is kind! In the past, the people were turbulent and difficult to rule. If it weren't for the surrender of Buddhism, how could there be such a kind gesture today! Although my sister is far away in Chang'an, she is enshrined in the Buddhist hall, and everyone appreciates the queen's benevolence..."

Chapter 0820 preaching the far country, enlightening foreign people

The imperial court has a complete set of plans for the management of Xikang Kingdom.

This territory is different from the inland states, with mountains and rivers blocking the roads and dangerous roads. Regardless of the region or the people's sentiments, it is more biased towards Tubo. The Tang court wants to gain stronger influence and control than Tubo here. , it is bound to not follow the administrative means of the inland states.

As early as the period of Songtsen Gampo, Buddhism had already entered Tibet, but for a long period of time, its influence was very weak, and it was only spread in a small area, far less than that which originated in the Tibetan area. Native religion Bon.

When Tubo Zanpu noticed the strengthening effect of this religion on the rule and consciously promoted it, it had already reached the middle period of Tubo, and the process of its promotion was accompanied by a series of bloody political struggles.

Compared with Tubo, a regime that had just completed formal unification, the Central Plains Dynasty had a clearer understanding of the brainwashing effect of Buddhism.Especially in the period of Wuhu Luanhua and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, both Huayi monarchs vigorously promoted the spread of Buddhism, and regarded it as the only way to unify people's hearts and restrain people's power.

However, the Central Plains dynasty had its own deep national conditions and a long-standing ruling philosophy. Buddhism may be used as a supplement, and it is difficult to become the only mainstream.Including Wu Zetian, who ruled as a woman, although he cited the influence of Buddhism in the process of ascending to power, the foundation of his rule is still Confucianism, the skin and the bones, and the three religions.

The Buddhism promoted by the imperial court in Xikang was flooded with self-righteous goods and changed beyond recognition. Although there were certain political intentions, it did not emphasize as much as the original history of making Zanpu a myth and promoting centralized rule.

The reason why this castrated Buddhism has become popular in Xikang in a very short period of time is not only to actively cater to the psychological demands of the poor herdsmen at the bottom, but also because of the support of local dignitaries in Xikang.

The land of Xikang belongs to Sun Bo's hometown, and the influence of the Bon religion, which originated in the Houzang area, is relatively weak here.And as the Sunbo area was annexed by Tubo, the political reforms of Tubo's various centralized powers also to a certain extent shaken the original Sunbo dignitaries' control over the people, making them urgently need a new ruling technology to maintain themselves. Interests.

Xikang Buddhism advocates that there is a distinction between high and low races, which naturally caters to the tastes of the upper-class dignitaries, and the concept of practicing in this life and rewarding blessings in the next life keeps the people at the bottom from completely despairing.

Therefore, when the Dharma spread to the country, the local powerhouses in Xikang, such as Niangshi and Webster, took the lead in converting, and transformed from the original tribal chieftain to the dharma king who defended Buddhism.

The construction of religious sites such as the Xikang Great Stupa, these local powerful people have also contributed a lot.Basically, Datang provided technical and formal guidance, and local tycoons were responsible for organizing manpower and material resources for construction.

After the completion of the Great Pagoda, Buddhist ceremonies, large and small, were held frequently, which created an illusion of the prosperity of Buddhism in a very short period of time.In addition to preaching the Dharma, these Buddhist ceremonies also have an important function, which is to accumulate wealth.

The Xikang Kingdom was originally Tubo's Sun Boru, who also carried out the reform of Guihu and Yonghu. This part of the people who registered and set up households no longer belonged to the private slave property of the rich and powerful, but obtained the identity of the king's people.Although the tycoons in charge of the local area still have the power to exploit, once the exploitation is too much, not only the country will be held accountable, but these people will often flee to the royal area.

However, as these households convert to Buddhism, they can take the initiative to pay donations to the Buddha through various Buddhist ceremonies, which is far more efficient than sending servants to farms in pastoral areas to extort money.

Of course, the people are not fools, and it is impossible to hand over their own property to the Buddha for no reason, so a special atmosphere is needed.Regarding this point, when Zhang Shuo and others stayed in Xikang City to rest and recuperate, they were fortunate enough to witness it with their own eyes.

At the beginning of the ceremony, people from all over the world gathered towards the great pagoda in the center of the city, and the ones walking in the front were all the venerables who defended the religion.

All of these venerables are members of the powerful and powerful families in Xikang. The costumes and accessories are exaggerated and gorgeous, as if they are gods and Buddhas walking out of the murals. .

For the members of the mission who are used to the solemn ceremonies of the imperial court, seeing these nondescript ceremonial scenes naturally felt a little ridiculous.However, the local people in Xikang followed this pattern. They prostrated themselves on the ground and shouted welcome as the venerables passed by. Some even burst into tears with excitement.

After the venerables arrived at the pagoda, the great mage sitting in the hall also slowly raised his tent and sat upright surrounded by various scriptures and instruments. When the envoys looked from a distance, they suddenly found that the face of the great mage was vaguely similar, and some people couldn't help it. He exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that the abbot Faming of the Weiguo Temple in the Eastern Capital? Why did you come to Xikang Fantu?"

Hearing this, everyone observed carefully, and then found that apart from the monk Faming who followed Xue Huaiyi to compile the "Dayun Jingyishu" in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, there were many monks around the stupa who were also familiar faces, such as Chang'an Many eminent monks from famous temples such as Caotang Temple, Dongdu Weiguo Temple, and Baima Temple appear here.

"Buddhism is poor, and it is not beneficial to people's livelihood and politics. These mages can spread the Dharma to distant countries and educate foreign people, and they can be regarded as living up to what they have learned."

Zhang said standing in the middle of the mission, looking at the mages presiding over the ceremony on the high platform, he said with a smile.

The Buddhist ceremonies held in the Great Stupa were a bit different from what everyone had imagined. There were no eminent monks preaching the scriptures. The mages on the high platform mainly chanted Buddhist scriptures. The tone was vague and the rhythm was quite brainwashing.After all, most of the people present were the local people of Xikang, and the Tang people claimed that they didn't quite understand it.

The mages sang scriptures for less than half an hour, and the length of the tone alone is enough to make people stunned.By the time the sutras were chanted, all the people from all over the world had entered the square, and there were crowds around the Great Stupa, at least thousands of people.

After the mages stopped, a venerable venerable danced and danced forward, serving tea in a golden bowl to the front.At the same time, fireworks were lit under the big tripods erected in front of the pagoda. After a short while, the rich tea fragrance permeated the audience. The people also stretched their necks, greedily sniffing the tea-scented steam that spilled out to the outside world.

The Buddhist staff in front each took a spoon to share the drink, and then began to drink and dance, the voice was powerful and powerful, and subconsciously made people think that they should be healthy and sound like a bell because they drank the tea.A healthy body is the foundation of human existence. With such an exaggeration, many people regard that tea as a magic medicine, and some people put it in front of them, hoping to share a cup of magic soup.

Therefore, no matter what kind of thing, once it is contaminated with religious elements, it is not clear what is right and wrong.Drinking tea from others can have miraculous effects, but you can't. That's because you didn't drink the tea from the Great Buddha Hall, so naturally you won't get many Buddhist relatives.But even if you drink the tea consecrated by the master, it still doesn't work, that means your heart of worshiping Buddha is not sincere enough.

Of course, these are just appetizers, and then there will be a lot of fun.Although limited by language barriers and cannot directly preach Buddhism, the charm of art is not limited by regions and languages.

Soon those venerable apologists began to stage various Buddhist scripture stories, presenting some Buddhist plots like a group of demons dancing wildly.For example, a prince from a foreign country was persecuted by demons, and his whole family devoted himself to Buddhism. After receiving the BUFF bonus from the Buddhas, his combat power soared, and he killed the demons.

The prince who played the role was a warrior from a foreign country. After being poured with half a bowl of sesame oil by the mages on the stage, he entered the arena and dragged two yaks back again and again.Such an astonishing picture naturally made people amazed, and the applause burst like thunder for a while.

What was even more exciting was the scene that followed. The Quanhao believers present began to present their belongings. Boxes of jewels and silks were carried to the high platform, and then they were blessed by the mage.Men are stronger and stronger, women are more beautiful, old people can walk like flying, and boys can recite sutras like a fluent mantra.

With such an example, many believers present came forward to donate one after another.However, most of the believers are still cash-strapped, unlike those tyrants who spend a lot of money, or all kinds of leather, or some food, and some even push their children to the stage.

If you donate less, you will naturally receive less blessings. Although you didn't feel all kinds of miraculous changes immediately, you still feel refreshed and happy physically and mentally.

In addition to property donations, there were also many powerful and powerful chiefs who were inspired by Buddhism and freed many serfs on the spot, so that these slaves who were also devoted to Buddhism could also recover their freedom.Such acts of kindness greatly aroused the enthusiasm of the people, and the entire Great Stupa was bathed in a sea of ​​joy.

A Buddhist ceremony lasted for a whole day, and it was almost dark in the evening when the crowd dispersed one after another.At this time, the mages who presided over the Buddhist ceremony also had time to invite Zhang Shuo and other national envoys who were watching the ceremony into the interior of the pagoda to entertain them warmly.

While the group was chatting about things, the tyrants who had donated heavily before sent their servants to transport the donated treasures back to their families.And the materials donated by ordinary believers have also piled up into a hill, which is sorted out and calculated by the Buddhist temple staff, and shared equally between the temple and the tyrants who promote the movement.

Although the mages presided over the ceremony outside, all of them looked dignified and strangers should not enter, but they were much more humble when facing the envoys who had a friendly local accent and were in charge of the emperor's orders, and each of them asked eagerly. The changes in personnel in the middle school are also full of homesickness.

When Zhang Shuo talked about the mission and purpose of this mission, everyone since the old monk Faming also actively offered advice and expressed their willingness to actively introduce local powerful people for the mission.

Chapter 0821 thieves are small, no abuse of the people

Being a dog for the Tang Dynasty is far more comfortable than being with Tubo. This is not the feeling of Li Yiling, the king of the attached country, at least for now, the local rich chiefs in Xikang have similar feelings.

Xikang's predecessor, Sun Bo Nuguo, at the end of its regime, the whole regime fell into chaos due to the struggle for power among the kings and kings. And miserable.

At this time, in order to get rid of the control of the old Yalong tribe, Tubo Zanpu Songtsan Gampo of Shannan Yalong moved the center of power from Shannan to Jiqu River Valley, which was closer to Sunbo.

Although Songtsen Gampo killed the traitor who killed his father with the help of his mother's family, his overall strength is still weak, and he urgently needs help from outside.And Sun Bo's powerful people are also tired of the continuous internal strife in the middle school, and urgently need a strongman to lead them to a more stable future.

So the two sides hit it off, and with the cooperation of Sun Bo's Niang clan hero, Songtsan Gampo sent troops to destroy Sun Bo's female country in one fell swoop, strengthened his own power, and gained the support of all Sun Bo's dignitaries.

This period of time was regarded as the honeymoon period between the Zanpu royal family of Tubo and the nobles of Sun Bo.But soon, this intimate relationship was broken.

Songtsen Gampo, as the previous generation of hero on the plateau, was naturally not satisfied with just annexing Sun Bo, and soon shifted his attention to Xiangxiong in the Houzang area.Compared with Sun Bo, Zhang Zhuong is stronger, and there are no signs of chaos that the country is about to perish.

In order to successfully annex Shang Zhung, Songtsan Gampo also resorted to frequent means. On the one hand, he maintained a military blockade and suppressed Xiang Zhuong, on the other hand, he married his younger sister into Zhang Zhung to influence his upper-level decision-making, and he also actively wooed Zhang Zhung. The nobles of the nobles.

Because Songtsan Gampo changed his mind and had a new goal, Niangshi, the hero who helped him annex Sun Bo before, was left out. Later, it was in the hands of Qiong Baobangse, the chieftain of Tibet.

Although Songtsan Gampo soon got rid of the Qiongbao clan with the help of the next nobleman Gal Dongzan, since then, the relationship between the Sunbo nobles and Zanpu has not been as sweet as it was at first.

Although the relationship between Zanpu and the nobles of the Sun Bo family has been restored due to the fact that the Gar family has gradually become a serious problem in recent years, they still have reservations about each other.

Like Ye Alidong fled to the Tang Dynasty in the early years and dedicated the land of the Eastern Region to the Tang Dynasty. Most of the local dignitaries in Sun Bo held a cold-eyed attitude. area.

However, when the Tang Dynasty designated the land of the Eastern Region as the Xikang Kingdom and began to manage it, the local nobles in Xikang obviously felt the difference.The influx of a large number of Chinese goods not only directly improved their respective lives, but various surplus goods could be distributed inland, allowing them to get rich returns.

And with the entry of Buddhism into the country, it has directly changed the way they obtain benefits, which has increased unabated compared with previous years.Moreover, Buddhism teaches people to submit to suffering, and it also eliminates a lot of hostility in the realm, making their rule more stable.

Precisely because they felt the various benefits brought about by being attached to the Tang Kingdom, the Xikang dignitaries not only did not object to Tang's garrison in Longnan, but welcomed it.

Compared with Tubo Zanpu's habit of killing donkeys and killing donkeys, and being mean and ungrateful, Datang's policy of foreign restraints was already generous.Moreover, Xikang is closer to the Tubo mainland, and Zanpu will eventually turn it into a private territory that he can fully control. From this point of view, all the dignitaries and chieftains living in this land are Zanpu's enemies.

But Datang was different. Although he also showed a strong desire to control Xikang's situation, the method he chose was much softer.Moreover, Xikang is much farther away from the mainland of the Tang Dynasty. If it wants to maintain a long-term rule, it must rely on local forces.

Undoubtedly, following Datang is far more generous and calm living space than Tubo Zanpu who is close at hand.Not to mention that in the past few years with Datang, the benefits they have gained are far from what they could have been compared to when they took orders from Zanpu.

Therefore, even though the news that the Tubo envoy died in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty had been transmitted back to Xikang, making the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo tense, when the Tang envoy sent an invitation through the great mages, most of the local clans with names and surnames in Xikang also They all showed up without a single one.

There are nearly a hundred families of local chiefs and aristocrats in Xikang. Among them are the Niang family that was destroyed in the early years, and the Wei family that is still lucky today. Songtsan Gampo's mother family was born in Cai Bang's family!

However, before the Tang envoy could make any statement, when the wealthy clans of Xikang gathered at the Great Buddha Pagoda, they couldn't help but tremble when they saw all the people present.

As the original territory of Tubo, Xikang is naturally full of rich families, but it doesn't mean that all these rich families obey Zanpu's orders.The Xikanghao clan is headed by the four clans of Niang, Wei, Nong, and Caibang. These four clans were also the most active leading party for Sun Bo to lead Tubo into the bandits in the old days.

However, apart from these four clans, other big and small clans are not very interested in Tubo's rule, and even the most basic Tubo alliance and material collection are not very enthusiastic.The reason is also very simple, serving you as the master is to give you face, but if you want me to be obedient, you must give benefits, anyway, you can't really kill me.

This time at the gathering of the Great Buddha Pagoda, there were many local powerful families in Xikang, even surpassing the local Yimeng in Tubo. This also means that at least among the upper-level powerful groups, Datang's appeal is already quite strong.

Zhang Shuo and the others were quite pleasantly surprised when they heard that everyone introduced their identities.Before they went west, they also had a good understanding of the internal situation in Tubo, and several wealthy families that the sage and the Queen of Xikang had instructed to pay close attention to were present.

Of course, Zhang Shuo and others did not have the foresight of a sage, otherwise they would have been even more pleasantly surprised to see these attendees.

In the past 200 years of Tubo's national fortune, the political structure has also undergone changes. Since Songtsen Gampo established the supreme ruling system of the Three Shang and One Lun, the power has been rotated between the Lun clan and the Shang clan.

Needless to say, the first 50 years when the Gar family was in power, after the collapse of the Gar family, a new wealthy family ushered in the political situation in Tubo, that is, the Wei family from Sun Bo.Thirty years after the Wei family took charge of Dalun, the power in Tubo was transferred from the Lun family to the Shang family, that is, the family of relatives headed by the Mulu family and the Cai Bang family.

However, the Shang family did not last long in power, and there was also a vicious coup in which Concubine Cai Bang killed the king.The end of the dictatorship is the system of monks and ministers. The Niang family, which had not yet taken off with the national fortune, once again stepped onto the political stage. Niang Ding Aizen, who was born in the Niang family, became the No.1 monk in the history of Tubo. This kicked off the bloody struggle between Tubo Buddhism and Bon religion, and eventually accompanied the Tubo regime to its demise.

Although Li Tong, who is far away in Chang'an, has determined his long-term business strategy for Xikang, he never expected that the start would be so smooth.Almost all the Fengyun families in the political arena in later generations of Tubo have been entangled in the interests of the Tang Dynasty.

The Wei family, representing the Lun family, the Cai Bang family, representing the Shang family, and the Niang family, representing the power of the monks, all came to meet the envoys of the Tang Dynasty at the very beginning of their entry.

Of course, the most prominent of the various families right now is the Wei family.The position of Dalun in Tubo has always been held by the father and son of the Gar family, but under Dalun, there is Xiaolun who is the second prime minister, who is from the Wei family.

As for Songtsan Gampo's uncles, Cai Bang and others, because of this short-lived nephew's failure to live up to expectations, and the fact that another relative, the Wulu family, was in the midst of power, they were very uncomfortable being squeezed out.

The Niang family was even more miserable. They were ruthlessly slandered by Houzang Qiongbao's family for the crime of treason. deprivation.A phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, and it is also the first indigenous sect to convert to after Buddhism entered Xikang.

Each family is in a different situation and has different thoughts, but since they gathered here, they have a common appeal, that is, they want to inquire about the direction of the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. Will it still affect the business between Datang and Xikang?

In the face of people's inquiries, Zhang said that he didn't try to be tricky, and said directly: "Previously, when the foreign country came to participate in our grand ceremony, the imperial court had a courteous reception, but they didn't want the two envoys to fight in the street, completely ignoring the legal system of the Tang family. Rituals! The sage is also furious at this point. Since the guest envoy has come, he will receive it as a national ceremony, but if he thinks that he is not tame, this will be unacceptable by the law of the country! Now we are ordered to enter Tibet, and we will not send them back to Tibet. In addition, there is also a question to the boss, can you remember the righteousness of uncles and nephews of the two countries?"

Hearing Zhang said that his tone was not good, everyone present was also surprised. Naturally, they did not dare to speak and respond on behalf of the Tibetan lord, but they all pointed their finger at Da Lun Qinling, denouncing him for having no official integrity, rebellious in foreign countries, exposing Ugly in the world, resulting in this series of human confusion.

Hearing the nearly unanimous caliber of these powerful families in Xikang, Zhang Shuo and others couldn't help but feel that the situation of the Gar family in China is really not good. Launch an offensive to Qinghai.

"The national system must not be humiliated, and the warriors of the Tang family will never hesitate to die! It is unbearable for the Tibetans to disrupt our laws and regulations. Before we leave, there are also orders from the middle of the country to suspend Western trade and other things. "

After pondering for a while, Zhang Shuo continued, these words were of course a tentative disintegration, even if Datang did not want to fight at this time, there was always only pure interest between countries, and soft words could never bring about peace.First of all, Datang must not be timid to fight in order to seek more variable possibilities on this basis.

When Zhang Shuo said this, the reactions of the people present no longer converged. For example, some wealthy families who are still closely related to the Tubo Kingdom do not express their opinions easily, but some parasitic on the Datang business network have been nourished to the point of being fat. Some people were in a hurry, and they all advised that the matter is far from the level of confrontation, and after all, it is still necessary to make money with harmony, and to benefit both sides.

Members of the Cai Bang clan, who were excluded from the core of power despite their noble status, couldn't bear to express their opinions eagerly: "After the founding of Xikang, we are all border people of the Tang Dynasty. You can't treat the people poorly because of the thieves!"

Although these words also expressed the aspirations of everyone present, it still makes people feel strange that Cai Bang clan members shouted these words.You can tell clearly which side is the thief chaos, maybe the thief chaos in Datang's eyes is the evil seed that grows in your field!

Chapter 0822 is called the master, but it is actually a puppet

When the Tang Dynasty mission arrived in Xikang, there was a lot of personnel disturbance in the Tubo Kingdom.
