Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie was over sixty years old, but he was still full of energy, and when he saw that Li Chenghong was frightened and looked panicked, he couldn't help laughing, and then tried to calm his tone as much as possible, pointing to the couch in the hall and asking him to sit down.

"The Son of Heaven doesn't have to be so nervous, and the ministers are also out of kindness. People in this world are sinister, don't look at those people now, they are all turtles with shrunken heads, but as long as there is a slight opportunity, I don't know how many people will jump out of the shadows and bite hard. ”

Speaking of this, Ma Xiangzhong Bajie paused and looked at Li Chenghong's reaction, as if he was deliberately observing his reaction.

"When you become the Son of Heaven, you can no longer have the compassion and weakness of ordinary people, all those who are threatened must be cut down and eradicated, and once they are prevented, even if there is only a potential threat, they must rather kill by mistake than let go!"

Speaking so tirelessly, in Li Chenghong's view, this Tubo is very different from the past, and he is even more frightened and does not dare to let out of the atmosphere, so he only promises to say that he is willing to let everything be arranged.

"The Son of Heaven doesn't have to be timid, after all, the energy of foreign ministers is limited, and they can't handle all government affairs single-handedly. Restoring order in Chang'an, I'm afraid it depends on your own ......"

These words fell on Li Chenghong's ears, and he couldn't help but be moved, could it be that Ma Xiangzhong Bajie intended to let go of power?

Although Li Chenghong's qualifications are mediocre, he also has the consciousness of a puppet, and knows that the last thing he should do at the moment is to fight for power, otherwise he will not be able to get the power, but he is afraid that he will have to worry about his life. The ghost knows if this Tibetan minister is testing his true thoughts.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Chenghong could still sit still, so he quickly stood up again, bowing his body to show that he was shallow in virtue and incompetent, and it was difficult to do it.

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie is a Tibetan hero, how could he not see through Li Chenghong's careful thoughts? I knew that he was thinking about it, but he didn't remind him, he just smiled.

"Little Zampu lives in Xingqing Palace, and the Son of Heaven has time to go and see his nephew!"

Hearing this, Li Chenghong hesitated again, he was wondering about the meaning behind Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's words, whether he should go to see his nephew Chisong Dezan, whom he had never met.

This is Li Chenghong thinking too much, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie did intend to let Li Chenghong meet the young Zanpu in Tubo, but the fundamental purpose is not to let them talk about their nephew and uncle, but to let this Tang Dynasty son deepen his understanding of who is in Tubo now.

Of course, Ma Xiang Chung Bajie's purpose is not only that, everything he does is motivated by a deeper purpose. further deterred the newly enthroned Tang Emperor, and then handed over part of the rights, so that he could obediently be an obedient mastiff.

Looking at Li Chenghong's humble back, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie only felt infinitely satisfied, and the heirs of the dignified Heavenly Khan had to tremble and tremble under his own snort, which he had never thought of years ago.

"Although Chang'an is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time......

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie sighed, he did intend to live in Chang'an for a long time, but he also knew that the foundation of Tubo was on the plateau, even if he didn't want to leave, the soldiers under his command would be homesick. So, this is the biggest worry he faces.

"Prime minister, Du Wanquan has arrived, did you call in?"

"Please!"

Hearing that Du Wanquan had arrived, Ma Xiangzhong Bajie came to the spirit again, and the little bit of interest just now was completely gone, and he was sitting in danger.

Not long after, Du Wanquan walked in with a bow, but he was already a courtesy. And Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie also accepted it calmly, and he was very useful in his heart.

"But the prime minister is worried about going to stay?"

In fact, the vast majority of the Tibetans, like the original Turks in the steppe, only regarded the Central Plains as a huge warehouse, killed and plundered, and then returned home with a full spoils of war.

Even if they have captured the most prosperous and brilliant capital in the world, they still have no idea of taking it for themselves, and if they have enough ability, they will even move the entire Chang'an City back to Tubo, and they still have no idea of staying and replacing it.

However, the most powerful people in Tibet just had this thought, and Du Wanquan was even more keenly aware of this.

"Chang'an is the essence of the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, isn't it foolish to let it go so easily?"

Du Wanquan is a person who is well versed in the way of relaxation, and he is not in a hurry to express his opinion at this time, and only follows the words of Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie:

"Since you don't want to leave in a hurry, you might as well live in Chang'an for three and a half years, and then look at the changes in the situation in the future to deal with it!"

Ma Xiangzhong Bajie's eyes froze, stared straight at Du Wanquan, and asked word by word:

"You just said, what is the key to staying in Chang'an?"

The atmosphere in the hall was suddenly tense, if it was Li Chenghong, I am afraid that he would have sweated and sweated heavy clothes, but Du Wanquan is not Li Chenghong, he is an old fritter who has been working in officialdom and on the battlefield for nearly 20 years.

"If the prime minister wants to stay in Chang'an for a long time, he must go down to Tongguan first. Otherwise, if the Chang'an Portal is in the hands of others, it is equivalent to a sharp blade hanging over the head every day. ”

"Well said!"

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie gave a high-five. However, Du Wanquan's words were not finished, and what he was going to say next surprised Ma Xiangzhong Bajie.

"Taking Tongguan is just the beginning, if you plan to completely cut off those obvious or potential threats in Chang'an, you must go east to Luoyang and defeat the Shenwu army of Qin and Jin. At that time, the two capitals of the Tang Dynasty will be in the hands of the prime minister, and the prime minister will ascend the throne and become the emperor, and who will dare to say half a word?"

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, Ma Xiangzhong Bajie slapped the case in front of him and stopped Du Wanquan's words.

"I am loyal to little Zampu, how can I do such a disobedient act?"

Du Wanquan smiled, he had already seen it, although Ma Xiangzhong Bajie stopped shooting, but there was no anger in his eyes, so he said boldly with confidence:

"What's so difficult about this? Zampu is still the Zampu of Tibet, the prime minister is the lord of the world, and he commands the four Yi with the respect of the Heavenly Khan, isn't it ......?"

With a flattering smile on his face, Du Wanquan's voice stopped abruptly.

I saw that Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's face was cloudy, this minister is always moody in front of people, but today the change is so obvious, it is obvious that his heart is moved.

After a long time, he said: "It may not be difficult to capture Tongguan, and it is ...... Luoyang."

Although Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie is confident in the combat effectiveness of the Tibetan warriors, after all, he is deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains, which has never been done before, and he has no bottom in his heart. And Du Wanquan seems to want to persuade him and give him confidence.

"Don't worry, you know, now is the best time for me to enter Luoyang?"

"How so?"

"The An's rebels are newly defeated and retreat to Hebei, if the Great Ministers unite them to attack Luoyang on both sides, and the Shenwu Army takes care of one and the other, isn't Luoyang just in front of you, and it's within reach?"

Originally, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie still felt that Du Wanquan was really asking for credit, but now it seems that it is not completely unreasonable. Contacting An Qingxu is indeed a good idea. But he also has another concern:

"I used to be an envoy in Chang'an, and I had several encounters with An Qingxu, and this person doesn't seem to be a person to work with. ”

At this point, Du Wanquan has completely grasped the initiative of dialogue, so he waved his hand and said:

"The person that the prime minister wants to connect with is not An Qingxu, but Shi Siming in Fanyang. ”

"Shi Siming?"

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie blurted out, after all, he was on the plateau, the news was closed, and he didn't know much about the recent changes within the Tang Dynasty, and when he heard Shi Siming's name, he realized that there was a big chaos within the An family, otherwise the Shenwu Army might not be able to conquer Luoyang easily.

"Could it be that An Qingxu has fallen from power?"

Du Wanquan nodded.

"Daxiang's expectation is good, since the loss of Luoyang, although An Qingxu is called Emperor Dayan, he can only live in the small city of Ye County, and Shi Siming's strength in Fanyang has surpassed him. Think about it, if the minister's tail is too big, isn't civil strife just around the corner?"

Regarding Du Wanquan's analysis, Ma Xiangzhong Bajie quickly sorted it out in his heart, and then had his own judgment. Regardless of the truth or falsity of what Du Wanquan said, he will send someone to verify this, and the civil strife of the An clan alone will lead to countless opportunities, which are not only opportunities for the Shenwu Army, but also opportunities for the Tang Dynasty, and even more so for him.

If he hadn't sent Chang'an with 200,000 Tubo troops and easily captured Chang'an, I am afraid that the Shenwu army would have taken advantage of the civil strife in the An clan to benefit from the fishermen. And now the situation is different, with the Tibetan army in Guanzhong, the Shenwu army will never dare to act rashly. Then, Shi Siming's opportunity has come, and he can take the opportunity to destroy the rest of An Qingxu......

Thinking of this, Ma Xiangzhong was faintly excited, isn't this a great opportunity for him to connect with Shi Siming?

……

There were bursts of cursing in the side hall, but it was a Tibetan dialect that Li Chenghong couldn't understand. Soon, he met his nephew, who was Zampu, and after a closer look, Meiyu really resembled his sister Princess Jincheng. Thinking of my sister who died tragically in the war accident, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Chide Songtsan obviously knew that the person in front of him was his uncle and the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, so he stopped venting his anger and called "uncle" in blunt Chinese.

After all, blood is thicker than water, and although the language barrier, the nephew and uncle still hugged their heads and cried. It's just that some of this cry is family affection, and some of it is the sorrow of their own fate, I'm afraid even these two people can't say it clearly.

After crying for a while, Xiao Zamp Chide Songtsen told Li Chenghong through his henchman who was fluent in Chinese, warning him that Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie was a hungry wolf on the plateau, and sooner or later he would eat both of their nephews and uncles.

Li Chenghong was so frightened when he heard the words that he almost jumped up to cover Chide Songzan's mouth, this nephew is really reckless, Ma Xiangzhong Bajie's eyeliner is all over the inside and outside, and the slightest carelessness will lead to death.
