Chapter 987: Tubo

Girder, Licheng.

Gao Yuyao is high, and the officials are lined up on both sides, and the scene is also very grand, and the specifications of today's court meetings are very high, and this often happens, it is because there are envoys from other countries visiting, and it is still a big country.

In fact, the territory of the Great Liang Dynasty is really not big, but in terms of the overall map of many countries, it is basically the same as the territory of China and several other countries, and the names and characteristics of some countries are also very similar.

For example, there are Turks in the north, Silla and Wa in the east, that is, complex points in the south, and there are many small island countries. As for the west, the northwest is the countries of the Western Regions, and now they have basically been subdued by Xiao Jiwen, and the remaining few are just lingering.

Among them, only the Turks can be called a big country, but now, the Turkic population has consumed too much, the decline has been revealed, and it is a state of hostility, even if the Turks send envoys, the Liang side will never use such a high standard of reception.

Then among all the countries, only the Tubo country in the southwest can have this qualification.

Speaking of which, Tubo and Daliang have not had substantive communication for a long time.

Like all dynasties, the Central Plains Dynasty and its neighboring countries will always have friction, whether it is Turkic or Tibetan, while establishing diplomatic relations, it is inevitable to launch armies to plunder the frontier.

Among them, the Turks sit on the vast steppe, and the war horses are countless cavalry, coming and going freely, and the combat power is extremely high. With this, it is difficult for any dynasty to eradicate it, and the cost of sending troops is too great, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The same is true of Tibet, the Turks have grasslands, and Tibet has plateaus, and the army of the Central Plains Dynasty has difficulty adapting to the plateau climate and fighting, and most of them can only be in passive defense.

This was the case in the previous dynasties, and it was also true in the Great Liang Dynasty.

Just like the history of China, many different methods were used to deal with or appease them. Among them, the most famous is the friendly Princess Wencheng. Whether this matter merits or demerits are not discussed in depth, and the original intention alone is nothing more than for the stability of the frontier.

Similarly, the Great Liang Dynasty also married a princess, in the history of more than 300 years, a total of three princesses and five county lords were married, the results were good and bad, there was a situation that did make the two countries stable for decades after marrying a princess, but there were also useless situations, how it was before, and how it will be in the future.

After all, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Liang, the powerful Great Liang directly made Tubo bow down to his ministers, but this matter was never mentioned a hundred years ago, no way, who let the Great Liang gradually mediocre, and Tubo rose and peaked at that time, that year, the frontier areas were not less scourged.

That changed until decades ago.

Speaking of the general trend of the world, it is necessary to divide for a long time and be divided for a long time, this sentence is suitable anywhere, and the overall national strength of Tubo is beyond doubt, otherwise it is difficult to be called a big country. But the disadvantage is that Tibet is also composed of tribes.

That's not right, just take Tubo here, it's not so much that Tubo is composed of various tribes, but that it is composed of eighteen major tribes as the main trunk, and the remaining small tribes are composed of branches, and the single case of Zampu's family is naturally the largest.

The pros and cons of this composition model can be seen at a glance, if Zampu is powerful, he can naturally subdue everyone, but if Zampu is weak, of course the eighteen clans are not vegetarians.

A hundred years ago, Tibet was powerful, but no matter how strong it was, there was a day of defeat, and there was a good saying that the strongest castle was often breached from the inside. At that time, Tubo made the Great Liang Dynasty tired of coping, even the Great Liang was like this, not to mention other small countries, because Tubo had no opponents, but it couldn't stand the internal strife of others.

At that time, Zampu, who could be described as the hero, led Tubo to rise strongly, and the eighteen tribes did not dare to disobey, and this Zampu was also very able to live, obviously inheriting the position of Zampu at the age of thirty, but he did it for thirty-two years.

The second Zampu is the ninth son, when he succeeded to the throne, he was not a weak crown, but he was also eloquent and strategic, and his ability was extraordinary, but he suddenly died young, and died before he was thirty......

The earth dragon turned over, and the army suffered heavy losses.

Zampu is strong, and the people below naturally don't dare to mess around, but people's hearts are not satisfied, although with the strength of Tubo, they can also get more benefits, but their power is also reduced accordingly, the eighteen major clans are called courtiers, but at the earliest, the status is equal, the power of Tubo can be described as divided, and it has been suppressed for a long time, who is not dissatisfied?

The second Zampu died violently, leaving his two sons still young, and the strength support of Zampu's side was greatly damaged. Suddenly, the eighteen clans without checks and balances suddenly had an idea, and they all bet on it, ready to support one of them to regain power and even get more benefits.

After the battle, the eldest son won and became the third Zamp, and the younger son was imprisoned.

Originally, this is nothing, naturally the winning side wants to divide the fruits of victory, and the internal friction of this matter will not hurt the muscles and bones, but the problem lies in the third Zampu.

After only three years on the throne, he died of illness!

Good fellow, he was only twelve years old when he died, and he left no heirs at all, so it was naturally the turn of his young son, who had been imprisoned, to succeed him, because he alone was the most qualified.

Then the consequences can be imagined, and the originally victorious side will naturally suffer a fierce counterattack. But how can they sit still and wait for death, openly and secretly competing constantly.

And the fourth Zamp who grew up also had his own ideas, and the tribes behind him seemed to support him, but they were actually implementing an empty move to divide power, as Zampu, of course he didn't like this feeling.

So decisively began to deliberately provoke, the superior, if you don't play a balance and balance, can you call the superior? The big clan that originally supported his brother hated it, but he couldn't sit back and watch them be weakened, otherwise when the big clan behind him had no checks and balances, he, Zampu, would naturally become a complete puppet.

Ideas are always good, but you can't stand up to the lack of ability!

He did a good job at the beginning, and after several means, he really let him regain some power, not only that, but the two parties that were originally engaged in it were also divided into three parties, which is more conducive to checks and balances. However, young people are inevitably impatient, unable to hold their breath, and they begin to be impatient after tasting the sweetness.

This is death, and finally 'violent death'!

Then Tubo was even more chaotic, the two were only eighteen tribes divided into two sides, but now it has become a three-party, so they are ready to support one to do things, one of them is very fast, directly announced who will inherit Zampu, the other two sides listened, and immediately stopped, we don't admit it!

So they each declared that what they had in their hands was a legitimate and reasonable Zampu, and yours didn't count.

What else are you talking about, fight!

This fight is decades, the hatred is getting bigger and bigger, you kill my son, I kill your father, you cut my mother-in-law, I chop your mother-in-law, and I will never die.

So Liang Chaole is happy, a good thing! Zhenxi Mansion is also happy, don't look at the fierceness of their suppression of the Western Regions, but it is still very difficult to face Tubo.

After a long time, for decades, the big beams of the country have almost forgotten the existence of Tibet, except for the occasional small group of Tibetan troops coming out to plunder, there is no more news at all, that is, because there is still trade and some information, but for most people, basically ignore this country.

The internal friction in Tibet is really miserable, and only six of the eighteen major clans are left in the end, and the remaining twelve are not all exterminated, but they are no longer qualified to become a big clan. And the most surprising thing is that Zampu Tashi Chide, who is now in his fifties, picked the fruits of the final victory.

Why the accident? Because this Zampu has always given people the impression of being cowardly and unassertive, no one takes it seriously. Now it seems that it is just forbearance.

The king of Yue Goujian lies down and tastes the gall, and three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu. Tashi Chide is not weak, since he ascended to Zampu at the age of seven, he has been showing weakness, and then secretly developed his own tribe that was almost so weak that he did not have two points of strength, and endured it for more than 40 years, and suddenly broke out, quelling the civil war and controlling power in one fell swoop. After a few years of recuperation, the national strength of Tibet began to recover a little, and it was at this time that Tashi Chide thought of the Great Liang Dynasty.

At present, the envoy is Rajbed, the seventeenth son of Tashi Chid...... Well, nonsense, I have endured it for so many years, and many times I have nothing to do, and I have to pretend to be obsessed with beautiful women, of course there are many sons.

Rajibed's background is not high, his mother is only a commoner, but he is favored by Tashi Chid, loves the house and Wu, as soon as he was born, Rajibede was valued, and Rajibede also lived up to expectations, playing small is extremely smart, don't look at the current only nineteen years old, but is already the next generation of Zampu.

No, or should I say, it is already now!

That's right, Tashi Chide deeply felt the turmoil in Tibet over the years, and thought that if the next Zampu was set early, it would not be easy for accidents to happen so easily. Of course, in fact, the power is still in his hands, but Rajbed's position has been determined.

The direct sending of Rajibed as an envoy also shows the importance that Tashi Chide attaches to the re-establishment of diplomatic relations with Daliang.

The same is true for the beams, and even more so for Gao Yuyao.

No matter how weak Tibet is now, it will not be so weak that it can be bullied at will, and it was once one of the best big countries, which is incomparable to other countries. The Great Liang Dynasty is now in turmoil, and those vassal states are very dishonest one by one, and they are still subservient on the surface, but they are small and ninety-nine behind the scenes, which can not be regarded as successful diplomacy at all.

All dynasties have always attached importance to the orthodox identity of the Central Plains, and regarded themselves as the upper states of the Celestial Empire, which is the most good-looking, how can this be done?

For Gao Yuyao, she personally doesn't care about the attitude of those small countries, but from the actual situation, she has to care. Throughout history, if any emperor does it to congratulate all dynasties, he will definitely leave a strong mark in history. Although she Gao Yuyao is not the emperor, she is not too far away, if she can do it during her reign, the benefits in all aspects are simply too many.

Not to mention anything else, just such a grand event, even the civil officials who oppose her have to say a good word, which is more conducive to her further control of the government.

In this way, it is very important to re-establish diplomatic relations with Tibet, and it is best to let Tibet be able to bow down and set an example. In such words, even Tibet is honest, how dare other small countries? And Tubo abandoned the identity of a vassal state a hundred years ago, if she Gao Yuyao did it, tsk, how could there be light on her face.

"Tubo Zamp Prajibed, meet the Emperor and the Queen Mother." Rajibed's posture is extremely low, kneeling on one knee, whether it is words or actions, it can be described as respectful.

Gao Yuyao is very satisfied, this must be satisfied, no matter what, people are also Tubo Zampu, this kind of posture has given enough face to Liang Chao and Gao Yuyao, and this alone has won the favor of many ministers present.

"Excuse me." Gao Yuyao nodded, since people knew each other like this, the harsh words he had originally prepared would naturally have to be changed.

According to Gao Yuyao's idea, it is naturally best to make Tubo a minister, if it doesn't work, it won't be a loss, and it can be treated maliciously, wantonly bullied, and provoked the hatred of Tubo. As for Rajbed's return with troops?

Ha, Gao Yuyao doesn't care anymore, don't forget whose territory is in the west now. That's just under the control of Xiao Auntie, if Tubo wants to fight, then he has to beat Xiao Auntie first.

As for the alliance between Tubo and Xiao Jiwen? No way!

Even if Xiao Jiwen does not recognize the current Liang Dynasty, Daliang is always the Great Liang, and with Xiao Jiwen's orthodox style, outsiders will never be allowed to get involved. Ally with the Tibetans and then let the Tibetan army enter the territory of Daliang to fight?

Xiao Jiwen would not choose such a choice even if she died.

This plan once made Gao Yuyao extremely excited, if it weren't for the fact that the Ten Thousand Dynasty would come to congratulate such a beautiful thing in history, she Gao Yuyao would have chosen this way a long time ago.

"I don't know what state affairs Zanpu has on this trip?" The tone is not lacking in majesty, and after being in power for so long, Gao Yuyao has already developed a bit of momentum.

Rajibede was straightforward and said: "I am willing to rebuild with Daliang, rewrite the national letter, take Daliang as the suzerain, make friends from generation to generation, and never be an enemy." ”

Never being an enemy or something is a, just listen to it, but the previous words make people feel excited.

It's so surprising that he was directly willing to be a vassal state without talking about any conditions?

"In addition, I am nineteen years old, and I have not yet married a wife, and I have come here to propose marriage, and I am willing to marry the princess of the heavenly family, and I vow to promise that the birth of a child will be the future Zampu! I, Tibet, am also willing to take the lead of the beam and obey the dispatch. Rajbede continued.

Ooh? And this good thing? In this way, in the future, Tubo Zampu will have the blood of the Liang royal family, and it is bound to be closer.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Gao Yuyao's eyes flickered, and she only felt that she knew that there must be a plan in this.

No matter how weak Tubo is, it has geographical advantages, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is no need to put its own posture so low, not to mention that the current situation of Daliang has no spare strength to be the enemy of Tubo.

But that's what Tubo did! Figure what?

Behind the curtain, Gao Yuyao's eyes narrowed slightly, remembering one of the few news about Tubo that he had ordered to find out, about Tashi Chide.

The Fox of the Plateau, this is the nickname of Zampu who has regained power.

If you are a cunning person, how can you easily suffer losses?
