The news of the death of Tubo Zampu was like an earthquake that swept the whole territory of Tubo, and the whole country was overwhelmed, especially Prince Gesang, who stood in place at a loss when he heard the news.

Although my father was over sixty years old, he had always been in good health, and he did not look at all like a man who had entered old age, but rather like a middle-aged man in his forties. But now my father died suddenly, which is really unexpected.

The captain of the guard, Rodessa, couldn't help but feel a little worried when he looked at His Royal Highness, but he couldn't help itβ€”he knew that as the captain of the guard, he should not comment on the government.

At this time, Anbalturi hurried to ask for an audience, and seeing that Gesang was still confused, Rodessa ordered his subordinates to invite Anbalturi in.

The forty-six-year-old Anbalturi happens to be ten years older than Gesang, and the man who was once the Great Khan of Tukhi still retains a formidable presence even after being reduced to Prince Gesang's guest general. Although there was no expression on his iron mask, people could still feel an unconcealed murderous aura in him.

"Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness! Lord Anbalturi is here. Rodessa called out to Prince Gesang repeatedly.

This sentence made Prince Gesang sober up, and he hurriedly said: "Ah, it's Lord Anbalturi." Sorry, Xiao Wang lost his temper. ”

Anbalturi made a salute and said, "Your Royal Highness." This is not the time to be in a daze, you have to make a decision as soon as possible! ”

Prince Gesang frowned and said, "Why did your lord say this? ”

"Zamp died suddenly. The whole country was caught off guard. At the moment, the decision is still on who will succeed Zampu, and it is time to make a decision. ”

Gesang sighed and said: "Father naturally has an edict left, and Xiao Wang is at the border, so he can only follow orders." ”

Anbalturi smiled and said, "Your Highness is too pessimistic. If Zampu is wise, of course, he should pass on the position of Zampu to His Highness, if Zampu is confused for a while, then for the long-term interests of Tibet. His Royal Highness should also take the position of Zampu as his own! ”

"My lord, do you mean to let me start a rebellion?"

Anbalturi laughed out loud: "Your Highness is so confused, if Zampu is alive, His Highness's army will naturally be a rebellion, but now that Zampu has passed away, you and the princes are brothers rather than kings, why do you want to give up the throne to others?" Please forgive me for being disrespectful, it is very good for His Highness that Zampu passed away at this time, the princes are in the capital, but there are not many soldiers in their hands. My Tibetan army is still in the middle of the expedition and has not yet turned back, and now the strength in the hands of His Royal Highness is beyond the reach of other princes, if I don't take advantage of this time to rush back to the capital and sit on the throne of Zampu, wait until the army returns. I am afraid that it will be too late, so His Highness must immediately make a decision on whether or not to return to Beijing with troops. ”

Gesang paced a few steps. Turning his head and saying, "But if my father has a testament, the person who succeeds Zampu is not the little king." So what should I do? ”

Anbalturi sneered and said, "Among the princes, only His Highness succeeds to the throne and is most in line with the expectations, but even so, the princes are not compatible. secretly framed His Highness, not to mention that the edict stated that it was not His Highness who succeeded to the throne, which of the princes could be convinced by the successor? There is no need to wait for us to return to the capital, the princes will kill each other, Your Highness only needs to call the order to quell the chaos and wipe it out, and then you will be able to sit on the throne of Zampu in the name of righteousness, and then proclaim the world, with the prestige of Your Highness, all places will inevitably be attached to the wind, and your Highness has nothing to hesitate about? ”

Gesang nodded slightly and said, "If that's the case, then we should arrange to send troops immediately." ”

Anbalturi bowed deeply and said, "Please forgive your Highness, before you come down, you have ordered the troops to guard the whole team and prepare supplies." ”

Gesang looked at Anbalturi, and the light shining under the iron mask made Gesang's heart trembleβ€”this man was probably about to forcibly push himself into Zampu's position, right? Although he has coveted Zampu's position for a long time, it seems that this man is more anxious than himself.

As Anbalturi had expected, the dead old Zampu did not have time to leave a testament, and the princes of the capital fought for the throne. Gesang's troops had not yet reached the halfway point, and the news of the chaos in the capital had already arrived, and Gesang was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately sent his troops to speed up the march, and occupied the capital under a rapid attack, and imprisoned all these troubled princes. Then he sat on the throne of Zampu, preached the news of his succession to the throne in the world, and asked all places to swear allegiance.

Relying on the prestige of Prince Gesang, those old generals and tribal leaders sent envoys to swear allegiance, and even among the expeditionary armies, many generals wrote letters saying that they would only look forward to their horses, and everything was as Anbalturi expected. However, Gesang felt more and more strange, because when the situation in the capital began to stabilize, Prince Gesang noticed that there were many suspicious things about the cause of his father's death. As he expected, the old Zampu's body did not have any symptoms, so the sudden death was really suspicious, and what was even more strange was that the witnesses at that time had now died in the brawl of the princes without exception, and the truth was impossible to investigate. After Prince Gesang sent someone to secretly investigate, some clues were finally revealed, but this result surprised him.

After secretly meeting the imprisoned brothers, Gesang realized that the reason why the princes would fight each other was not all for the throne, but for a considerable number of them to avenge Zampu, because they were convinced that Zampu had been assassinated. What's even more strange is that each prince has a different object of suspicion, it seems that everyone has a motive to commit the crime, and now that all the witnesses have died, this is a headless public case.

Prince Gesang pondered for a long time, and suddenly realized that the reason why the princes suspected that Zampu was assassinated was instigated, but when they were suspicious of each other, only he who was far away at the border was not among the objects of suspicion, so that his succession to the throne would be a thing that everyone could recognize. Combined with Anbalturi's words and his performance at the time, the truth of this matter slowly emerged.

Thinking of this, Gesang gasped, and for a moment he remembered the eyes under Anbaltu's mask, if he hadn't judged correctly, but had arranged everything in advance, things would have gone as he expected. From beginning to end, this is very likely, but there is no evidence.

And what's even more troublesome is that even if he has the evidence, it will be useless, because once the truth is revealed, the world will think that he himself instructed Ambalturi to do it, and even if he kills him, it is just to cover up the truth and block the mouth of the world. I became the mastermind of this conspiracy without knowing it!

Anbalturi did so to make himself his accomplice, and the only thing he could do as the biggest beneficiary was to tacitly do so, and he had to benefit Anbalturi equally to satisfy him.

At this moment, Gesang realized that he had underestimated the man Anbalturi too much in the past. This is a poisonous snake, a poisonous snake that is wrapped around itself and cannot be shaken off.
