Plateau, Tubo country, Luo some cities, in the palace of Tubo king.

"Bang", a celadon vase from the Tang Empire was broken on the ground by Songtsan Gampo, this is the tenth and last piece of Datang porcelain that Songtsan Gampo broke in the past few days, this celadon vase is Songtsan Gampo's favorite object, whenever he is free, he has to take this porcelain vase and carefully touch and observe, admiring the outstanding craftsmanship of Datang craftsmen, who can create such a beautiful work of art, and at the same time envy and hate the unparalleled scientific and technological strength of Datang.

But in the past three days, Songtsen Gampo's anger has become greater and stronger, and each time it is more and more difficult to suppress, so after he broke a porcelain bowl for the first time and got inexplicable pleasure from the "bang" of cracking, Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but start to smash porcelain as a way to vent his resentment.

However, as the lord of Tubo, Songtsen Gampo only has ten pieces of porcelain, so even if he wants to fall, he must calculate the fall, one drop a day, which can support ten days, which is calculated, but this is only the third day, Songtsen Gampo angrily threw seven pieces of porcelain, and finally he was furious, and smashed the last porcelain vase that he usually cherished the most.

The guards and attendants next to them did not dare to move, for fear of touching the moldy head of Songtsen Gampo and causing a bloody disaster, they all knew why Songtsen Gampo was so angry, so angry, and even his favorite and cherished porcelain that was usually used to relieve pressure was broken.

Lu Dongzan heard the roar of Songtsen Gampo and the sound of porcelain being broken from afar, and shook his head helplessly. Sighing, he naturally understands why Songtsen Gampo is so angry, comparing his heart to his heart, if he is in that position, it is estimated that he can be more angry than Songtsen Gampo, and even kill the servants around him to relieve the resentment in his heart, but Songtsen Gampo can suppress the anger in his heart at this time and not be angry with the servants around him, and it can also be seen that he actually attaches great importance to human life.

That's right, one of the biggest reasons why Lu Dongzan chose to follow Songtsen Gampo is that he is the same as himself, and they both value human life. Despise the gods. Thinking that the gods are dispensable, Lu Dongzan's lack of feelings for the gods is due to the family's education since childhood, and Songtsen Gampo's lack of feelings for the gods is due to his disappointment with the gods, according to himself. He had previously been a devout believer. But neither his father nor his mother were blessed by the gods. So he stopped believing in the gods.

became a Zampu, unified the plateau, and established the Tibetan hegemony. After having a deeper understanding of the whole of Tibet, Songtsen Gampo gradually realized that the so-called god sect was just a group of hooligan and swindler groups who took the opportunity to swindle and deceive under the guise of the gods, and after realizing that their swagger and deception could not last, some of their leaders chose to cooperate with some old magnates in Tibet, paid economic benefits, and got political protection, and since then, this god sect has become the only god sect on the Tibetan Plateau.

As the Zampu of Tibet, the commander-in-chief of more than 200,000 troops, Songtsen Gampo has a lot of power and strong strength, but this qiē is based on his disregard for the god sect and even retreat, he gave the god sect the opportunity to continue to swagger and deceive, and the god sect also fooled him as an ordinary Zampu, everyone understands, knows it, only the group of untouchables don't know, it doesn't matter, if they know, our benefits will be gone? Lives will be lost.

After strengthening the ideological control, the Shenming Sect wanted to stop there, and it was enough to be a god, but the sequelae of obtaining the protection of the government was that its own group would also be infiltrated by the political group, and even mastered, after the first group of leaders were assassinated, the Shenming Sect was upgraded from a simple liar group to a religious group with a political color, with the support of some powerful people who were very dissatisfied with Songtsen Gampo's policies or whose interests were damaged. The political color of this political group is becoming more and more obvious.

In the name of the gods, he opposed a series of reform measures promulgated by Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan, openly resisted and countered these policies with the support of believers and in their territories, and carried out religious infiltration in the territories directly under Zampu and his supporters, and decades of experience in the spread of religion and the cultural process of the illiterate Tubo people made this infiltration quite easy, and the supporters of Songtsen Gampo were disintegrated one after another, and one after another died or defected. He's in a bad situation.

At the Celestial Worship Conference, which began just three days ago, the group of crooks openly claimed that one of the right-hand men in his army was against the gods, blasphemous the gods, and must be punished by the gods, and with the support of his fanatical supporters and the indecision of most of the army's soldiers, the brave general and his guards killed hundreds of fanatical supporters of the gods, tore apart one of the fiercest gods who shouted, and then were captured and burned alive to sacrifice to the heavens......

The Cult of the Gods has begun to infiltrate the army, or the families of the soldiers, the most powerful wind in the world is not a hurricane, not a storm, not a tornado, but a pillow wind, after the family members become believers or are forced to become believers, it is inevitable that the soldiers will be affected by this, take the incident three days ago, the number of troops is 50,000, and the number of the Gods Sect is 1,000, but except for the general and his 50-man personal guards to resist, No general or soldier rescued the general.

When Songtsen Gampo arrived, he saw only a charred corpse, the playful smile of the first god of the Divine Cult called Zhuerhi, and the words that bordered on provocation, and Songtsen Gampo could hardly resist pulling out his waist knife and leading the army to eradicate the Divine Cult in one fell swoop, but he knew that if he did, he would be overthrown tomorrow, because there were few supporters left, and his army would probably only be watching - they didn't know whether to help Zangpu or the gods......

It's better to stop anyone at all......

With less than 50,000 absolutely loyal troops, these numbers cannot be compared with the private armies of the magnates, and Tibet is not a full-fledged regime. His regime was built on the strength and prestige of his family, and without that prestige, his so-called regime was only a Zampu family and a few families, unable to confront the magnates.

The existence of the Cult of the Gods has not only greatly weakened their power as Zampu, but also obtained an almost astronomical amount of income for the magnates, once these incomes are obtained, it is almost impossible to deprive them again, they will only keep demanding, constantly demanding, from one-tenth of the income at the beginning to one-third of the current income must be handed over to the gods. It is higher than the taxes paid by these Tibetans to Zampu.

Songtsen Gampo wants to eradicate the gods!

And if Songtsen Gampo does not go against the gods, but supports the gods, everyone shares the benefits equally. The Divine Sect also did not want to kill Songtsen Gampo, but Songtsen Gampo's attitude was to be a hegemon, a strong overlord, and he would never accept any overlord who questioned and opposed. So this is doomed to the opposition between Songtsen Gampo and the magnates. Perhaps it was in the early wars to unify the plateau that Songtsen Gampo experienced too many victories. That's why he has some eyes on him, so he is at a loss when the Divine Sect is fighting back......

He would not have imagined that the lords of the clan who had obeyed him in his war to dominate the plateau would oppose his policies and opinions so fiercely, even when they could not confront him face to face. In a more despicable way, Songtsen Gampo had previously mastered an army of 300,000, almost the entire army of Tibet, while conversely, the private soldiers of the magnates were less than 100,000, and they could only retreat.

The politics of the Shenming Sect made it difficult for Songtsen Gampo to parry, the supporters were lost one by one, the opponents were more and more, and he was almost forced into a desperate situation, and at this time, the war of the Tang Dynasty against Tuyuhun made him see a new dawn - occupy the land of Tuyuhun, enhance his strength, and then attack the Shenming Sect in the north and south!

As for Datang...... Who is it? How did I not know?

Compared with Songtsen Gampo's arrogance, Lu Dongzan is much calmer, he is keenly aware of the current crisis of Songtsen Gampo, he is not without considering joining the Shenming Sect group, but when Songtsen Gampo was strong before, he had forcefully expelled the Shenming Sect that entered his family territory to preach, so he formed a mortal enmity with the Shenming Sect, he could not let Songtsen Gampo die, Songtsen Gampo was defeated, and he had only one way to die.

In the war with the Tang Dynasty, Lu Dongzan found another path for Tubo - relying on the powerful Tang Dynasty, cleaning up the Shenming Sect, and then slowly eradicating the opposition magnates, establishing a centralized government of the Tang Dynasty, holding all the power, and then becoming the emperor and the prime minister himself!

How do you do that? How to take advantage of the powerful Tang Empire?

And pro? This is a very common method, before he forced the princess of the Kingdom of Nepal to marry Songtsan Gampo through the guò war, and now it is a big deal to use it again, of course, seeing the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, he will not use military means again, but use the way of intercession, the result is that what he never expected is that the Tang Emperor Xià abolished the harmony in the form of a national letter, and the Tang princess only married the Tang people, and was a meritorious minister, not married to a foreign race.

There's no way, Lu Dong is embarrassed, the most convenient and fastest way has disappeared, what other roads are there? That strange and dangerous young man told him that he could introduce the religion of the Tang Dynasty to fight the local religion, introduce Buddhism with one heart for goodness and Taoism for tolerance and harmony, and the biggest feature of these two religions is that it is absolutely not allowed to kill people!

This alone will lead to a violent conflict with the Shinmei Sect, and the Shinmei Sect, which is accustomed to sacrificing living people, will definitely regard these two sects as thorns in the flesh, and will invisibly share the pressure of Songtsen Gampo, and Songtsen Gampo can get a respite, reorganize his forces, carry out a great purge in the army, insert his henchmen into the army, and get the result of complete control of the army, which is the best.

Lu Dongzan came here to discuss with Songtsen Gampo how to help Tang Buddhism and Taoism gain a firm foothold in Tibet, but it happened to hit Songtsen Gampo's anger when it was raging, it was quite out of place, people often lose their minds when they are angry, this is the truth that his father told him before he died, if you want to defeat a person, you must first make him angry, and indulge in anger and can't extricate himself, at that time, no matter how powerful he is, he will dig his own grave, just waiting for you to push him in, Cover with soil.

Songtsen Gampo can't continue to be angry, at least not yet, everyone has a common interest to pursue, if you die, I'm finished, so even if it's for me and my family, you can't die, you can't be angry!

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Dongzan's steps became firm, no matter what, he had to let Songtsen Gampo regain his former calmness, only a calm Zampu could bring him the greatest benefit, so no matter what, let him calm down and let him know what he should do now! (To be continued......)
