Crown Tang emperor

When the Tubo State Letter was handed over to the court, although he organized a performance at the Yanying Hall, he mainly listed and summarized the recent changes in Tubo's domestic situation, and planned to leave the subsequent related matters to Dongdu to deal with and respond. .

Originally, he thought that this matter was put on hold for the time being, but he didn't want to chat with his wife when he went out of the palace and explained to his wife the matter of accompanying him to the Eastern Capital.

"People say that the imperial court wants to write essays as a ritual for entering Tibet. I don't know which family Sanlang wants to pick a daughter from?"

When Shangguan Wan'er talked about this matter, she was not just purely curious, but there was something hidden in it that has not been mentioned yet.

Li Tong couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and he didn't think any deeper, just said with a smile: "Li Xueshi has seen the world, but the lady's friendship has become wider, and the news is very well-informed. There is no way to talk about marriage, where is the point of choosing clan relatives.

What's more, whether you should or shouldn't, it's not up to the other side to ask, how can my good sons and daughters of the Tang family agree to it lightly.The two posthumous sons of the Tibetan lord are both immature. It is ridiculous for them to come to our Tang Dynasty to visit and seek protection before they have agreed on who will be the heir! "

Shangguan Wan'er was also taken aback when she heard this answer, and then sighed: "A few days ago the Eldest Princess came to visit, and when she talked about this matter, her words seemed to be a recommendation, and I also said that this matter has already been settled. Where's the candidate?"

"Why is it that the family's choice of spouse and marriage alone is not enough to satisfy her enthusiasm, and she is already so attentive that she wants to decide on a new matter for the lord?"

Li Tong smiled slightly after hearing the words, and then said: "If she brings up the old matter again in the future, you might as well tell her not to pay attention to it. Most of the imperial court will not agree to this request. In terms of morality and power, you can't do it." The country is not worthy to be my nephew's relatives and friends, and the country's situation is in a mess, and it takes a woman to calm down."

Since the Han Dynasty, marriage marriage has been a very mature and effective means of foreign affairs, and Li Tong has no feeling of rejection.

A prosperous and powerful regime, in order to maintain its influence and control over neighboring states, is bound to adopt various and flexible means, and marriage is also a choice that does not need to be deliberately avoided.But the premise is that the time to use this method needs to be appropriate, and it doesn't need to be done deliberately.

Right now, the situation in the Tubo Kingdom is like a burning stove. It has been several months since the Tubo lord died, and the official heir has not yet been determined.

Among the two sons left behind by him, one was born by the concubine of the clan of Xiangxiong, who was born in Houzang, and was adopted by his queen mother Meilu family in Yuna Lakang in the north of Luosao City since childhood.The other was from the side concubine of the Shu clan of the Chen family who was born in Ye Ali, and was raised by Zanpu himself in the Hongshan Palace.

The two boys, the older one is already seven years old, and the younger one is about five years old, both are still at the age when they need food and clothing to be supported by others, and they are completely incapable of making decisions.No matter which one inherits the Zanpu throne, it is inevitable to be held hostage by powerful figures behind the scenes.

Zhu Shaoguo suspects that this is an unhealthy national situation. Although such a situation is not new to Tubo, it has already had rich experience in dealing with it.But the problem is that to deal with such a situation, the person in power in the middle school needs to have the power and prestige to speak out, and it is obvious that Tubo does not have such conditions at the moment.

In the letter of credence presented by Tubo this time, Zanpu's two sons are listed in it.In other words, if Datang chooses which one to marry by marriage, that one must be the next Zanpu of Tubo.

When such a situation happened, it can only be said that the current situation in Tubo has reached an extreme stalemate, and the disputes between them are no longer taboo to let outsiders know, and it is up to the old enemy of the Tang Dynasty to come up with a decision to subdue the dispute.

Under such circumstances, if you choose to make a marriage, you will inevitably conclude a stronger and closer relationship with Zanpu in Tubo's future than the previous marriage.But the question is what's the use of such a relationship, isn't Zanpu the prime of life of the previous generation killed by someone?

As early as before he was in charge of the Tang Dynasty, Li Tong did not intend to have a dialogue with Tubo as a whole. For him, a divided plateau is very beautiful.

On the premise of not directly sending troops to destroy Tubo and directly occupying the plateau, everything he did was to disintegrate and disintegrate the unified situation that had been achieved on the plateau since Songtsen Gampo.

At present, the momentum of the Zanpu royal family has been weakened to the extreme, and they even need to rely on the Tang Dynasty to determine their successor. Of course, Li Tong will not give any form of solidarity and support.

Only when such disputes last longer can the unified state formed by Tubo be further destroyed, and the centrifugal force of the various states on the plateau be aggravated.

Therefore, on the issue of Tubo, Heqin and Li Tong's consistent strategies were completely in the opposite direction.He didn't even need a respectful and docile Tubo royal family. It would be nice for the kingdoms to make noise and fight with each other to vent their excess energy.

As for Princess Taiping's whim, she wanted to participate in this matter, and even blew the pillow wind, and Li Tong quickly understood her intentions.

His aunt's two step-daughters are both too old to be married, so it is better to send her to Tubo to serve as a princess than to form a family of estranged relatives who don't grow up in Beijing.The internal and external momentum echoes each other, and they can also enjoy a certain right to speak in any future state-to-state interactions with Tubo.

Such scheming is nothing, after all, everything is uncertain at the moment, and Princess Taiping's enthusiasm is only providing a choice, it does not touch the holy intention, but is not sensitive enough to the sage's sutra strategy.

Li Tong didn't feel any anger about this, he just sent a message to his wife to tell his aunt not to waste her time on this, and quickly find someone to marry her stepdaughter, otherwise she will have menopause.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded after hearing the words, she was not enthusiastic about such things, she just mentioned it casually because she was a little impatient with being harassed by Princess Taiping's door visits every three days.Now that I know that Fu Lang has no intention of getting married at all, and he has completely rejected the idea of ​​Princess Taiping from the root, it is an explanation.

But then Shangguan Wan'er said again: "Since Sanlang didn't have such a plan, it's better to make it public as soon as possible. Because there are many people discussing it in the market, even though I don't often travel to the market, I have heard people talking about getting married. Otherwise, Before the Turks were destroyed, they would go to war again and recruit volunteers to go out of Tubo. Many people heard such rumors, and they were also worried that they might be subjected to heavy military service again this year!"

"Is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, Li Tong finally felt a little vigilant in his heart, realizing that it was not easy to create such a public opinion, so he couldn't sit still in the mansion, and quickly explained the various matters of the driver and Dongdu's residence in the future, and then Then he hurried back to Ouchi overnight.

After returning to Da Nei, Li Tong didn't go into the bedroom, and summoned the inner guard Tian Shao'an in the side hall beside the Yanying Hall, and while waiting, he took the recent secret scrolls and read them.

The night was already very dark now, Tian Shaoan was pulled out of the bed and hurried into the palace, he was a little bit sleepy when he entered the palace, but seeing the sage's serious face, most of the sleepiness suddenly woke up, and he hurried in to listen.

There are also records in the secret volume about the public sentiments of the relatives, but they are only recorded, and no systematic investigation has been carried out. The larger space is still related to the public sentiments of the Eastern Capital of Yijia.

Seeing that the inner guard did not miss anything, Li Tong did not vent his anger. He just ticked off the relevant content of the case, and then threw the secret scroll back to Tian Shaoan and ordered: "It is related to this, and it will be thoroughly investigated! Before leaving Beijing It must be clear from beginning to end!"

Chapter 1021 Game Workshop Song, Take Ten Thousand Coins

The busiest place in Chang'an Fang City is nothing more than a group of cart shops. These shops always have carts and horsepower to shuttle between hundreds of squares to deliver goods.There are some well-capitalized shop businesses that have even opened up business in surrounding counties and towns, and even have long-distance transportation across the state and across the government.

Yuntongshe is one of the car and foot shops with the strongest strength and capital in Beijing. It covers the transportation of people and goods in many counties and counties in the whole pass, and even has branches in Hedong and Dongdu.

However, this is only a superficial aspect that can be seen by the human eye. The real coverage of Yuntong is far wider than what the masses have seen and guessed. From Hebei to Jiangnan, from Longyou to Liaodong, in fact, all There are threads involved.

Such a wide range of business is certainly not something that ordinary private merchants can operate.Behind Yuntongshe is the huge human resources of Guyishe, and there are also caretakers at the top, and its other identity is the extension organization of the inner guard.

Last night, Tian Shaoan slept in a ignorant state, so he was pulled up from the curtain by the palace envoy, and entered the palace to receive orders from the saint.Naturally, he didn't dare to be negligent about this. After facing the Holy Spirit, he dispatched his staff in the Imperial Guard Hall in the Forbidden City. As soon as the sky was bright, he changed into a civilian clothes, and walked through the entire Chang'an City from Da Nei, and came to Tongji in the south of the city. The main shop of Yuntong Agency in Fangfang.

The superficial proprietor of Yuntong is Su Sanyou, who used to be the personal guard of a sage. As he gets older and his skills are no longer as good as his prime, giving a fifth-rank guerrilla general the life of returning home from work is actually picking up his old clothes. The organization work related to the company, organized the original scattered bicycle bases, and established the Yuntong Club.

"Long time no see, Sanyou, you are more and more like a wealthy man in the capital!"

After the meeting, we exchanged pleasantries, and Tian Shaoan couldn't help laughing and joking as he looked at the fat middle-aged Su Sanyou in a brocade robe.

Although both of them are the closest confidantes of the saint, Tian Shaoan's official status is too sensitive, and he would not come to the workshop to have direct contact with old friends during normal seasons.It's just that this time it was the sage himself who ordered him, and his attitude was quite serious, so Tian Shaoan naturally didn't dare to neglect, and went out in person to get the most accurate and detailed information as soon as possible.

After several years of experience in the market, Su Sanyou is no longer the dull and reticent in the early years, but has become shrewd and capable. After hearing the words, he patted his fat waist and abdomen and sighed: "In the past, there was little food and water. After getting rich, the only thing I can't restrain is my appetite. Hold on, let Erlang laugh."

While talking, the two entered the hall, and after raising their hands to screen away a group of idlers, Su Sanyou pointed to a few boxes with brass locks in the corner and said: "When I got the news last night, I quickly collected the miscellaneous newspapers. The relevant matters are within these boxes."

Seeing that Su Sanyou was able to do things well, Tian Shaoan patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, but he was dumbfounded after opening the box and looking inside, and saw that the box was full of papers, all the boxes were like this, without exception .

"You, this makes me report to the Lord like this?"

Looking at the numerous papers, Tian Shaoan looked back at Su Sanyou who was standing aside with a helpless expression.

Seeing his expression, Su Sanyou couldn't help being happy, and took out a smaller file from behind and handed it up: "The sources of the rumors have been preliminarily investigated and delineated. But there are not enough civil servants in the society. , I was worried about missing something, so I collected them all and asked you to review them again. I also want you noble officials to experience the exhaustion of Fangqu's daily work..."

"They are all loyal to the Lord and doing their best. If you envy me, you can replace me another day."

After Tian Shaoan heard the words, he grinned, raised his hand and locked a few boxes, and sealed them with special paint strips for internal guards. After they were transported back to the internal guards' hall, their own commissioners would review and inspect them.

He was not in a hurry to leave either, and unfolded the summarized information in the hall, and found that the source of the information mainly came from the East and West cities, Pingkangfang Sanqu, and the social theater near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, etc.

This is not surprising at all, several places are bustling areas where personnel gather and the flow of goods is complicated, and it is most suitable for gathering and disseminating some information.At present, relevant public opinion has already been fermented and spread in the market, and it is not meaningful to delineate the source area alone. The key is to accurately find out the starting point personnel in these places.

The Yuntong Society did not disappoint. There are too many shops in the east and west cities, and the theater theaters come and go frequently. Only in the romantic place of Pingkangfang have they found an accurate source base.

"Golden Grotto? What kind of name is this? Could it be that the business in the museum is not a matter of flesh and blood, but is inlaid with gold and jade?"

Seeing this, Tian Shaoan couldn't help but chuckled and said something nasty.

Su Sanyou took a look before he entered, then shook his head and said, "This Golden Grotto Shop is not a hall for actors, but a coop that operates cockfights. The momentum is not weak, and this cockpit has won the first prize in several joint fights." Liaobade, many rich and noble children in Beijing are fostered here and pick fighting cocks."

People in the Tang Dynasty love to win and fight, and almost everything must be judged on a level. The cockfighting scene has a long history and is enduring.Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the famous fighting arenas in Beijing are making money every day, and they are directly called Golden Caves, which is also worthy of the name.

"The cockfighting ground in the Golden Grottoes is obviously owned by Ge Lu, a native of Chang'an County, who used to be an old man from Ganquan Mansion. But in secret, there is another owner, a young man named Chengnan Wangliu. "

Su Sanyou is in charge of the eyes-and-eyes organization in the workshop, so he is naturally very familiar with the personnel affairs in the workshop. As long as the personnel affairs that need to be paid attention to come into the vision of Yuntong, there are very few people who are not thoroughly checked.

"Wang Liu in the south of the city, isn't this the head of Wang Renjiao's family? With this name, he still claims to be Feng Wu's successor."

Although Wang Renjiao thinks that he is unknown in the world, Tian Shaoan and other old people who have followed the saint since childhood are still very impressed with him, a half-way traitor. come and go.But someone like Tian Shao'an, who specializes in spying on internal guards, is no stranger to his pro-party family affairs.

Wang Renjiao's son is very capable of tossing around, and he is quite popular in the workshop, as can be seen from the name of the workshop.Feng Wu Feng Yansi is a legendary figure who appears in the market every few decades. I don't know how many children's rangers in the market regard him as an idol in life. He is also very ambitious to set this benchmark.

But for those who are familiar with Wang Renjiao's life, they can't help but feel ashamed when they hear these deeds.If Wang Renjiao hadn't been unsteady and eager for quick success back then, he would definitely be a prominent member of the court now, why should the head of his family, Ding Dizi, have to compete with the heroes in Biaofang, even among the top dandies in Beijing, he is still a man .

But right now, Tian Shao'an has no time to think about it. Yuntong found out that Wang Renjiao's son seemed to be involved in the matter, and he immediately realized that this matter seemed not simple.

Among the most core secrets among the internal guards, there is a special file about the personnel affairs of the Linzi Wang family, and Wang Renjiao and his son have always been listed in the file.Only the most confidential people know about this matter, even Su Sanyou, the leader in charge of the foreign department, is ignorant of this matter.

Right now, Tian Shaoan is inconvenient to explain to Su Sanyou, after a moment of pondering, he said: "Is there any way to arrange for me to go to this cockfighting arena myself?"

"This kind of hot spot in the market has eyes and ears. As long as you don't show your flaws and are known to others, it's okay to take a look."

Su Sanyou nodded after hearing the words.

"Then you still have to dress up!"

When Tian Shaoan heard this, he said again, as a close confidant of the saint in charge of the inner guard, he is also a well-known figure.Although the direct contacts are all high-ranking and powerful officials in the court, and they will not show up in the communal scenes, but some powerful children can't keep a glimpse of their whereabouts.

After tidying up the inner hall, when Tian Shao'an came out again, he was already a thick and strong man with a beard half covering his face, dressed in gorgeous brocade robes and accessories, looking in the mirror, he felt very different from usual.

"Remember to return this outfit after you've used it, it's worth a hundred and ten mins!"

Seeing that Tian Shaoan was still putting his head on the jade ring on his finger, Su Sanyou couldn't help reminding him.

After Tian Shaoan heard the words, he was not without embarrassment, pointed to the robe he had taken off and said angrily: "My suit is also a hardcover made in Gaien, which is no less expensive than this one! I am already such a prominent figure, and I will still covet you Some cloth!"

"It's impossible to tell. How many carriages and horses have your internal guards invaded the club? Every time you ask for it, it's just a prevarication..."

Su Sanyou didn't believe Tian Shaoan's sincerity, and took advantage of the situation and said: "If you don't make a clear delivery in the middle of the year, don't blame me for going straight to the master!"

"The friendship that is as deep as the ocean has been ruined by you, a miser! Let's go..."

Tian Shao'an knew he was wronged, and when he turned his head and saw Su Sanyou was carefully recording the things he borrowed with the icons, he was even more angry, shaking his head and waving his hands, he went out the door.

From Tongjifang to Pingkangfang, it was almost noon.Fengyue opera in Pingkangfang is all in Sanqu, while Beiqu is the main gathering place for some miscellaneous operas.

The style here is not as elegant as the two songs in Zhongnan, and the prostitutes' livelihood is mainly pure physical labor. Although it is still early in the morning, the streets and alleys are already full of women who are soliciting customers.

Tian Shao'an usually has to be cautious in his words and deeds, and rarely has the opportunity to go in and out of such a place. Seeing the Yingying Yanyan in the street, walking around, enthusiastically entering the front to please, he suddenly feels like his youth has returned.

If the two attendants hadn't reminded him in a low voice, he might not be able to resist going to the hall beside the street to taste the sweetness of the tea and wine offered inside.

Finally, I walked to the end of the street with great restraint, and when I looked up, I saw a gorgeous door decorated with colorful feathers. It was the destination of this trip, the Golden Grotto Cockfighting Field.

Even though it has not yet entered the evening when the business is most prosperous, there are already many horses and horses in front of the cockfighting ground, which shows that the market is booming.Tian Shaoan raised his eyes and saw a few familiar dude boys surrounded by Haonu.

He didn't enter it through the main entrance, but waited for a while at the small side gate, and a steward from the arena led him in.This steward is naturally the eyes and ears of Yuntong agency here, and he will tell the personnel situation inside during the introduction.

Tian Shaoan's flamboyant attire is quite eye-catching even in a cockfight where there are many high-profile customers. It can be seen at a glance that he is a customer who cares about face and is not short of money.But seeing that there was already a guide by his side, the other servants in charge could only stop and retreat.

The appearance of this cockfighting field is not big, but there is a universe inside, it is the connection and expansion of several mansions.According to the financial status of the customers, the cockfighting farm is also divided into different levels.

The steward led Tian Shaoan to a place surrounded by walls and covered with felt tents, and said in a low voice: "The closest inner hall that the servant can lead you to is this place. There is a curved corridor on the left that leads directly to the inner hall, where you can observe people and affairs. ..."

Before he finished his introduction here, some servants around him had already rushed out, and some people shouted: "Liulang is here!"

When Tian Shaoan saw that he was rushing to the scene, he waved his hand and told the steward not to pay attention to him anymore. While everyone was coming out to greet him, he took his entourage to the place designated by the steward and sat down. From here, he leaned over and looked down, and he was able to see the personnel going in and out of the inner hall .

At this moment, there were two fighting cocks fighting fiercely on the field. As soon as Tian Shaoan sat down, someone stepped forward to solicit money. The hawker, but even some of his belongings were left in Tongjifang.

Seeing that the cockfighting servant's attentive attitude was a bit weird, Tian Shaoan felt that his dignity had been offended, he raised his hand and grabbed the entourage's pocket and threw it over.The servant was a little more careful, then raised his head and said with an embarrassed smile: "Your honorable guest, you need to pay more than [-] coins for the battle field here..."

The three of them pooled their money together, but the floating money was still less than a hundred coins. In the end, the servant reminded him intimately: "The honored guest is so generous, write down the money, and after that, you can reconcile the account with your family and go to the cabinet to get the lottery."

Tian Shaoan was just an ordinary family when he was young, and he never had the opportunity to enter and exit such luxurious occasions. Qian Mian's betting chips were wagered, and he took off the belt around his waist as a token.

When the servant left in surprise, he couldn't help but looked at the two attendants and complained: "The inner guards are prominent in the military camp, and the salary is generous, but you are so miserable that you can't even get a hundred and ten coins. I'm tired and ashamed!"

The two of them just laughed dryly after hearing the words, and it is not known whether they complained in their hearts, but Tian Shao'an still said angrily: "When you go back, you must say that the Lord is responsible for this career in Beijing, and the one hundred money is enough to support a family of five for a season." The material is used, but it can’t even fall behind here, it’s too much!”

Not to mention Tian Shao'an's anger and discussion here, Wang Shouyi from outside has already entered the inner hall surrounded by the crowd.Tian Shao'an put his money down and was nervously watching the scene of the cockfight on the field. After being slapped by the entourage's arm, he came to his senses and turned his head to look, and saw Wang Renjiao entering the hall with his son.

It just so happened that both father and son came here today, Tian Shaoan was secretly delighted, and had already started planning to use that eyeliner to inquire about the information later.At this moment, the servant who had just advised him to win the bet came forward again and said: "Congratulations, honored guest, you won the bet! The next game is about to start, would you like to choose a cockfight?"

"No, keep going for me."

Of course, Tian Shaoan didn't come here for a cockfight, and after winning a hand, it was considered a small tool. When he was overjoyed, he directly took off a gold ring from his hand and threw it to the servant, and asked him to take care of it, but his mind was still thinking about business.

Not to mention Tian Shao'an and others who were spying in the shed, after Wang Renjiao and his son entered the hall, they screened out other idlers, leaving only a few cronies.

At this moment, Wang Renjiao said: "I have just paid a visit to the Dawang's mansion. He is very happy with the enthusiasm of the public and praises you for your ability to do things."

"It's just a few ordinary trivial things. If I can't handle them well, I'm not self-sacrificing. Aye, you don't have to walk so hard. Recently, I have to practice martial arts and make up for my strategy, so that I can calmly apply. This year's martial arts will be held in the Eastern Capital, and everything has to be rushed right now. Please tell the king, Aye, if it's not something important, don't bother me anymore..."

Hearing his son's careless answer, Wang Renjiao couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly, then turned serious and said: "Don't think that this is a trivial matter, it has something to do with the foreign border's strategy, and I don't know how many prominent people pay attention to it, otherwise, Your Majesty I won’t be so concerned! This time I’m here to find, besides telling the king to praise, I still want to warn you to remember to hide it after the fact, don’t surface it on the surface and let others know that you are manipulating public opinion..."

"Don't worry, Aye, I have a score. If I didn't want to receive a few new friends today, I wouldn't be here at all. As for all the people who are ordered, they are all loyal men who can entrust their lives. Don't talk about it at all." I won't violate the big taboo, even if there are official faults, they won't recognize me, after all, I will apply for the official position in a short time!"

Wang Shouyi looked around at everyone in the hall and said confidently.

The few people who stayed in the hall, including the steward who led Tian Shaoan into the cockfight just now, also slapped their chests loudly at this moment, and repeatedly stated that they would never spread the secrets of the door indiscriminately on the street. middle.

The father and son were still talking with their cronies, and another servant came forward and said: "The guests that Liu Lang told us to entertain have already entered the venue."

Wang Shou stood up as soon as he heard the words, and said with a smile to his father: "A few days ago, in the mansion of King Xi, I met an interesting man with a good status. He is not an idler in the workshop, but an officer in the Beijing camp. I thought that after I applied for the exam, I would be the same official, and maybe I would be a partner in the same department in the future, so I made an appointment with him for a follow-up communication, would Aye come to meet?"

Wang Renjiao was also pleased with his son's opening up of human contacts, and when he heard that he was a general of the Beijing camp, he immediately nodded with interest and said, "Then we can see each other."

A group of people stood up and went out of the hall again, the steward purposely walked around the venue, looked for Tian Shaoan sitting in the auditorium, nodded slightly, gave a wink, and hurried out again.

The three visitors were all tall and handsome, and one of them was Mohe Ren Zuorong, whom Wang Shouyi met at Prince Xi's mansion.Although Wang Renjiao came out together, but after knowing the exact identity of Zuo Rong, the enthusiasm on his face faded a lot.

In the past, the Khitan rebelled, and all the tribes of the Eastern Hu were deeply affected. Except for one Xi clan who bucked the trend, other forces were weakened, especially the Mohe people, who were almost wiped out by Song Jing before.Of course, the Mohe people still have the lineage of the general Li Jinxing in the court, but other ethnic groups have declined. Even if Zuorong's family was once a great chieftain of Mohe, it has long since faded away.

Zuorong, a small general in the Beijing camp, has had difficulty getting into the eyes of Wang Renjiao, who goes in and out of the king's mansion every day.But the two people who came with him also had their own backgrounds, which made Wang Renjiao regain his enthusiasm.

One of the two men is a member of the Tuoba tribe of Dangxiang Qiang, and the other is a member of the Shatuo tribe of Tie Le and Luobie tribe. One will go to Beijing to participate in the martial arts, and the other will follow the Northern Conqueror Army to the north in a few days. mouth.Their respective ethnic groups are numerous, and their power is not lost. They are all powerful Hu chieftains who entered the Tang Dynasty, and the downfall of Tong Zuorong is different.

Originally, it was also difficult for Zuorong to get along with these two people. Although they were both from the Tang Dynasty, one Donghu and the other Xifan had different connections and customs, so it was difficult to get along with each other.
