Chapter 609: Tubo Mutiny
Fan Lihua felt a little awkward when she heard this, she could feel that she should be able to see her relationship with Li Hao, and it was no wonder that Li Hao was worried about Fan Lihua everywhere in the letter, and if she couldn't see it, then he had been in the Tang Dynasty officialdom for so many years.
Fan Lihua hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "Lihuazun's uncle's words." ”
"Haha." Stubbornly smiling and saying, "The old man is so old, and he has a pair of nephews and nieces, I am very relieved, you can rest assured, the matter of Tubo will be handed over to the old man, and the old man will send an official document later, so that Peng Hai, the general of Qinghai Guard, will keep an eye on the border plug and never let a single Tubo soldier and horse go over." ”
"Thank you, uncle." Fan Lihua hugged her fists and thanked her, insisting on a sentence of losing her thinking, which solved a lot of trouble for her, she only brought 60,000 troops, with her ability, it should still be possible to defeat the Western Turks, but if she wants to deal with the Western Turks and Tubo at the same time, she herself feels very hanging, marching and fighting, in order to be safe, a careless will have thousands of soldiers die for no reason, and the worst will be annihilated.
"My own people, don't thank you." Zhi Sili smiled and advised, "Remember to destroy this letter in your hand." ”
"Thank you uncle for the reminder." Fan Lihua took out a box of matches, burned the letter paper and burned it to ashes along with the envelope.
Matches are only sold in Li Hao's firm, and now they have been popularized in Datang, the cost is low, and the price is also very common, which is deeply loved by the people of Datang, why is Li Hao so rich, because his business is easy to do, things are easy to sell, and almost all of them are monopoly industries, can you not get rich.
Watching Fan Lihua burn the letter to ashes, she said stubbornly: "General Fan, in fact, you and the old man are a little similar, both from the Turkic Toucheng Tang Dynasty, the old man is relying on the old man to sell the old today, and I will tell you a few words." ”
Fan Lihua hurriedly said: "Uncle, please speak, Lihua listens." ”
Stubbornly lost his strength and said: "In the words of the Tang people, we are considered halfway monks, it is difficult to get trust, you are a little better than the old man, at least you are a Tang man, the old man has fought for the Tang Dynasty for half his life, although it is not a high degree of hard work, but it is not small, but he has never been able to enter the center of the Tang Dynasty, the old man does not want to have any complaints, to get to this point today, the old man is satisfied, but you are still young and have a good future, and now you have found the big tree of King Qiongnan, but don't let go easily." ”
Fan Lihua nodded when she heard this, but did not speak.
Zhi Zhi Sili continued: "Next, you have to conquer the Western Turks, that is the old country you once served, the old man doesn't know if you have feelings for the Western Turks, whether there are any old people over there, but the old man has to warn you, since you have chosen the Tang Dynasty, you must treat yourself as a Tang person, the past kindness, put aside, there is no father and son on the battlefield, even if you meet the old people, you must not take care of the old feelings, otherwise even if you win the battle, there will be people in the court to play the topic and stir up the situation, all your efforts will be in vain, You know what the old man means, right? ”
Fan Lihua arched his hand and said: "Uncle admonished yes, Pear Blossom fully understands, uncle rest assured, since Pear Blossom chose the Tang Dynasty, from now on, Pear Blossom is a Tang person, on the battlefield, no mercy, and the Western Turk Khan Ashina Helu and I have a grudge to kill my father, Pear Blossom made an oath to cut off his head and pay tribute to his father's spirit in the sky." ”
"Good! That's good! Zhi Sili nodded happily, "In this way, the old man will rest assured, are you resting in Fuqi City for a day or continue to march?" ”
Fan Lihua said: "The march is urgent, don't delay, it's inconvenient for Lihua to stay here for a long time, so I'm going to leave." ”
"It's fine." Stubbornly lost his strength and got up and hugged his fists, "The old man is also a military person, and he still knows the rules of marching and fighting, so the old man will not keep you more, and the old man wishes you a victory, and return with triumph!" ”
Fan Lihua got up and hugged her fists: "Inheriting Uncle Jiyan, Lihua farewell." ”
Fan Lihua turned around and left, sent her to the door, and then went back to the office to write the official document, and sent a fast horse to send the written official document to Qinghai Wei to Peng Hai, the general of Qinghai Wei.
In fact, when Fan Lihua had just left Chang'an with his troops for a month, the Tibetan side had already received the news, and now there are too many barbarian people in the Tang Dynasty, so there are spies from various countries, among which there are naturally spies from Tubo and the Western Turks.
After Tubo received the news that the Tang Dynasty sent troops to attack the Western Turks, it was full of turmoil, and the Garqin Mausoleum naturally asked to send troops to support the Western Turks, otherwise once the Western Turks were destroyed, they Tubo would become an isolated country, and they would never find such a strong ally again.
However, the nobles and many ministers in the court opposed sending troops, because Tubo had weakened to the extreme since the failure of Gardongzan to lead troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, although the national strength had been weakened to the extreme in recent years.
Gar Qin Ling is different from Gar Dongzan, after all, he is young, not yet to the extent that Gar Dong Tsan is in Tubo to cover the sky, and Songtsen Gampo has been in poor health recently, and he is sick, although Songtsen Gampo supports Gar Qinling's proposal, but he is also weak, and several court discussions have no results.
The two sides fought for more than 20 days, Songtsen Gampo finally fell ill, bedridden, and the matter of sending troops will naturally be delayed indefinitely, Garqinling was anxious and angry, and after hesitating for two days, Garqinling finally gritted his teeth and decided to launch a mutiny, his mutiny this time was not to seek to usurp the throne, but to fight for power for himself, and at the same time, he wanted to trample all the nobles and ministers who opposed him.
Like his father Gardonzan, Garqin Ling was a very courageous man, and on the big day of the court, he asked Zuo Rushuai Solang Gazan to infiltrate the city with an army of 50,000 troops, and captured all the nobles and ministers who opposed him, and at the same time, he also sent troops to surround the palace and took the opportunity to replace the palace guards.
When the court meeting began, Garqinling suddenly walked to the throne of Zampu, stood beside the little prince Mangsong Mangzan, faced the ministers, and said in a loud voice: "Zampu is seriously ill, and the prince will temporarily take charge of the government." ”
Mangsong Mangzan is only nine years old, in the past two years, Garqin Ling as Mangsong Mangzan's teacher, Mangsong Mangzan naturally has great trust in him, when even loudly announced: "My father is seriously ill, temporarily unable to personally manage government affairs, this prince is young, not familiar with government affairs, this prince was ordered by his father, Fenggar Qinling as the great theory of Tibet, to assist this prince to temporarily manage the government." ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar, and immediately someone shouted: "Since it is the order of Zampu, can there be an edict of Zampu?" ”
Garqinling sneered: "Zampu is now sick in bed, his fingers can't move, how to issue an edict, the prince is the only son of Zampu, and he will inherit Zampu's position in the future, can he still lie to you!" ”
"That's it!" Mangsong Mangzan said in a loud voice, "Can this prince still lie to you!" ”
Mangsong Mangtsen was just a child, for the Manchu ministers, he naturally chose to believe in his teacher, and although Songtsen Gampo was bedridden, he also told him to listen to the words of the Garqin Tomb more, so he was willing to lie with the Garqin Tomb.
When the ministers heard this, they were in an uproar again, the position of Tubo is the prime minister, one person is above ten thousand people, and now there is one more power to assist the government, and now the prince is young and ignorant, it is basically the power of Zampu, such power, it will fall into the hands of Garqinling, how can they agree.
Immediately, someone shouted: "Whether the prince will lie to us or not, we don't care, the position of the great treatise, how important it is, even if Zampu is not sick, if he wants to seal the great treatise, he has to issue an edict, not to mention that the prince is not Zampu, how can he say it in a word, I will ask to see Zampu in person!" ”
"Bastard!" Garqinling suddenly glared and shouted, "Songamima, you dare to be disrespectful to the prince, are you going to rebel!" ”
"The minister has no objection!" The minister named Songa Mima said in a loud voice, "The minister just does things according to the rules, and now that Zampu is seriously ill, how important is the position of the great treatise, even if there is no edict, the ministers must listen to Zampu himself, so that the hundred officials can be convinced!" ”
When the other ministers heard this, they came out to echo it, and when Garqinling heard this, his eyebrows immediately rose up, and he shouted: "Come on, Songa Mima intends to rebel, pull him down, push him out of the palace gate and behead the public, and the old and young in his family should be killed!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked, and they didn't know what kind of trouble Galkin Mausoleum was going to make, even if Songtsen Gampo was here, it was impossible to kill the ministers of the court and the central government with a random reason, and they also wanted to kill the whole family, which was too hasty.
However, the next moment, several guards rushed into the temple, and they set up Songamima, removed his official uniform and hat, and dragged him out, while Songamima struggled and shouted angrily: "Have you eaten the bear-hearted leopard gall!" How dare you do this to me! ”
The other ministers also shouted angrily and stopped the guards and prevented them from going out.
Garqinling shouted again: "Someone! ”
Suddenly, I saw nearly a hundred guards rushing in with swords and soldiers, surrounding all the ministers, the ministers were suddenly too frightened to move, Songamima was stunned, he recognized it, these guards were not palace guards at all, he glared and shouted excitedly: "Garqinling, you want to rebel?" ”
Garqin Ling snorted coldly: "Cut off Songamima's tongue!" Whoever dares to stop it, shoot and kill! ”
I saw a guard come forward with a sharp knife in his hand, pinch open Songamima's mouth, no matter how he roared and struggled, directly cut Songamima's mouth with a knife, and then cut his tongue, the palace was full of blood, and there were heart-rending screams, the ministers were so frightened and angry that they didn't dare to move.
With his tongue cut off and his entire face covered in blood, he knelt on the ground, pointed to the Galchin's tomb, and let out an angry roar.
As soon as he waved his hand, the guards dragged him out, and the howl faded away.
Garqinling glanced at the ministers and asked proudly, "Who is still against it?" ”
The ministers were silent, and none of them dared to answer.
Garqinling snorted coldly: "You old things, you will always only drag down the hind legs of this great theory, this great theory may as well make it clear today, your family is small, and it has been controlled by this great theory, you dare to try nonsense again!" How can this great treatise on loyalty to the kingdom be compared with you, and from now on, this great treatise and the words of the prince shall not be questioned by anyone! Otherwise, Songamima will be your fate! ”
Mangsong Mangzan was frightened by the bloody picture just now, but now when he heard the words of Garqinling, he was immediately relieved, although he was small, but he liked the feeling of being high, just like his father, what he said was what he said, no one questioned it, he liked this, if he really said anything about the desire for power, he didn't understand, after all, he was not yet that age.
Next, Garqinling said loudly: "The first thing in this great treatise is that Zuo Rushuai Solang Gazan will lead 50,000 troops to aid the Western Turks!" ”
