Although Chidu Songtsan trusted Kilixu very much, he regarded him as his confidant. But somehow, every time Kilixu saw Chidu Songzan, he had an indescribable sense of solemnity and sacredness.

Chidu Songtsan is the thirty-fifth Zampu of the Tubo Dynasty, he is not bad-looking, although his stature is not tall, but he also belongs to the outstanding. As for the face, even if it is not handsome and chic, it can at least be said to be dignified.

Just as the monarch of the enemy Tang Dynasty was called "emperor", the Tibetans called their king "Zampu".

In the legend of the Tibetan people, Zampu are the descendants of the gods, and the first Zampu Niechi suddenly fell from the sky, and he landed on the earth to claim the king by the will of the gods.

Therefore, in the minds of the Tibetan people, Nie Chi Zampu is regarded as the incarnation of God, and his descendants are naturally the descendants of God.

The so-called concept of "not being a king is not a king" has been handed down from ancient times, and has long been deeply rooted in the Tibetan folk and has become a social norm recognized by everyone from generation to generation, and Qilixu is naturally no exception.

After Qi Lixu finished reporting, he respectfully handed the letter that Lu Xiaoxian handed over to him to Zampu.

Zamp took the letter, and he read it very seriously.

Kilixu secretly raised his head and glanced at Zampu, who could decide his fate and future, waiting for the moment when he made a decision.

Who knew that Zampu did not speak after reading it, but handed the letter to the Queen Mother Chi Ma Lun, who was sitting next to him.

Chimalen is the princess of the former Zampu and the mother of the current Zampu Tridu Songtsen. The predecessor Zanpu died suddenly when he was in his prime, and after Chidu Songtsen succeeded Zanpu, Chimalun became the queen mother.

The officials of the Tubo Dynasty often preceded their names with the word "Theory" or "Shang". Generally refers to ministers who are directly related to the royal family; Shang is an official from the major nobles who intermarried with the royal family, and the original meaning is his uncle. Chi Ma Lun was born in the Wulu family, one of the four major Shang clans in Tibet, and his family has been involved in political affairs throughout the history of Tibet, and belongs to one of the four major relatives who have married the Sibuye royal family for generations. Before Songtsen Gampo, Zanpu had married a woman from the Wulu family, and had the experience of serving as the prime minister in the family.

After reading the letter, Chi Malen asked Qi Lixu, "Where is that Lu Xiaoxian now?" ”

"Empress Dowager Qiyu, Lu Xiaoxian and Guo Zhen have arranged for them to live in the Red Palace, and the others have been arranged in the post house!" Kilixu cautiously explained, "This arrangement is on the one hand to show that Tubo attaches great importance to the envoys, and on the other hand, it is convenient for Zampu and the Queen Mother to receive them, so as to prevent people with ulterior motives from obstructing them!" ”

Qili Xu bit the word "outsider" very hard, and it was obvious that the "outsider" he was referring to was Qinling's sixth brother Zanjian.

"It's good that you're arranged!" Chimaren nodded in satisfaction.

Being able to get Chi Ma Lun's approval, Qi Lixu's face suddenly turned red.

After rolling in the Tubo court for so many years, Qili Xu is of course very aware of the abilities and means of the Empress Dowager Chi Ma Lun, and many of Zampu's decisions were all made by her behind the scenes. From a certain point of view, Kilixu's fear of this queen mother is even far greater than that of Zampu.

The sudden death of his predecessor Zampu in his prime had a huge impact on the political situation in Tibet. At that time, the three sons of the predecessor Zampu were all young, and the mothers of the three sons belonged to different families, and supporting that son to become the new Zampu was the most important thing in Tibet.

In this case, Chimaren shines into the scene. In the competition for royal power, she secretly mediated an alliance between the Wulu family and the Gar family, and finally Chimarun's son Chidu Songtsen won and succeeded to the throne of Zampu.

Of course, Chi Ma Lun wanted to repay the favor, reconvened the alliance, and determined the power system of Tibet headed by the Gar family. With Zanxiruo in charge of the power of the Great Theory, Qinling in charge of the military power, and the two brothers echoed inside and outside, and the military and political power of Tibet all fell into the hands of the Gar family.

It stands to reason that both sides have their own place and should be at peace.

However, as Chidu Songtsen grew up, the Gar family, who had helped Chimarun, became the biggest obstacle for Zampu to take over power.

As a result, Chimaren once again operated in the shadows, provoking the infighting of the Gar family.

When Songtsen was thirteen years old, the Tibetan Great Commentator Zanshuruo presided over the proceedings of the Huimeng in the Xili River Valley. At the same time, Zansila's fourth brother, Mangthadachab, also convened a meeting of the alliance in the valley of the Ka River.

This is a very abnormal situation in Tibet, where the Tubo League was developed from the oath-taking ceremony of the Songtsen Gampo period. At that time, only Songtsen Gampo had the right to convene.

After the death of Songtsen Gampo, Lu Dongzan took control of the Tibetan government, and he developed the oath ceremony into a council of tribal leaders, at which the conflicts between the tribes were coordinated and resolved.

Manglu Dachab also convened a council in private, indicating that there was a serious split within the Gar family.

Of course, the reason why Manglu Dachabu dared to do this was because of the support of Chimarun behind him.

Soon after, the Gar family infighting turned into a bloody coup d'état.

Mangtodachab assassinated his eldest brother Zansiru, ascended to the throne of the Great Treatise, and then slaughtered all the forces that supported Zanshiruo.

At this time, Qinling was on an expedition and when he got the news that the eldest brother was killed by the fourth brother Mangluda Chabu, Mangling Dachabu had already cooked raw rice and cooked rice, which became a great theory in Tibet. In order to avoid Mangda Chabu directly announcing his rebellion, Qin Ling chose to forbear for the time being.

In order to paralyze Manglu Dachabu, Qin Ling sent people to the city of Luo to pay homage to him, and at the same time brought a large number of treasures and gifts, and expressed his full support for Manglu Dachabu to control the court on behalf of the Gar family.

Secretly, Qin Ling was contacting the generals and subordinates who were loyal to him, waiting for the opportunity to avenge his eldest brother.

A few months later, thinking that he had taken full control of the domestic power in Tibet, he easily left his old nest of the city of Luoqi.

After receiving the secret report, Qin Ling led his troops over the mountains and mountains, rushed for thousands of miles, surrounded and killed all of them and his escort troops, and then waved his army straight into the city of Rakha, and wiped out all the forces that supported Manglu Dachabu.

In less than a year, the political forces in Tibet were almost completely emptied after two bloody reshuffles.

Many of the families who did not participate in the coup d'état but were on the wrong side during his time in power were at risk.

Chi Ma Lun saw that everyone in the Chaonei family was in danger, and of course he would not let go of this great opportunity to win people's hearts.

Therefore, she summoned her ministers, granted the authority of the Great Argument to Qinling, and at the same time asked for the lives of other families in the court, stabilizing the political situation of the Tibetan government and the opposition.

Although the Great Theory of Tibet was still in the hands of the Gar family, the power of the Gar family was greatly weakened, and other forces in the court also fully felt the influence of the Zampu power. The biggest beneficiary of this coup d'état in the Tibetan Dynasty was the forces of the Zampu family and the Empress Dowager Chi Ma Lun. From this, it can be seen that Chimaren's abilities and means are very comparable.

"So be it!" Zampu finally made up his mind and instructed Qi Lixu, "Three days later, the Queen Mother and I will officially meet with the Great Zhou envoys Lu Xiaoxian and Guo Zhen, you go and arrange it!" ”

"Lasso!" Kili Xu nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Who needs to be notified to attend the meeting?" ”

Chimaren took Zampu's words and replied, "I don't need to inform anyone, just me and Zampu!" ”

Zampu nodded: "Do what the queen mother wants!" ”

The mother and son seem to have the same heart, and they both want to go together.

Qili Xu was slightly surprised, according to the normal procedure, the reception of foreign envoys and ministers also had to participate, like this time, only Zampu and the Queen Mother were present, there was no precedent in Tibet.

What should be asked, what should not be known, this bit of proportion Qili Xu still has, otherwise Zampu would not have trusted him so much.

Although I don't know what the Queen Mother's intention is for giving such orders, there is one thing that Qi Lixu knows very well: with the mother and son of Zampu and the Queen Mother, plus Lu Xiaoxian's participation, Qinling's death is getting closer and closer.

After Kilixu left, Zampu glanced at Chimaren: "Queen Mother, what do you think about this?" ”

Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, Chi Ma Lun knows her son too well, and she knows that Zampu can't bear Qinling for a day.

She had heard her son singing his own songs in a hoarse voice countless times.

"Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and even in the future, the people will not serve the king! Horses can't be ridden! Grass can't cut sickles! In the Qingwa Dazi Palace, the royal system has never been broken! ”

From this song, Chi Malen can hear his son's extreme dissatisfaction with Qinling.

"In the small valley of Jiabu, a commoner wants to be a king! Gar wants to be the king! The commoners want to be kings, the spring water flows up, and the rock rolls up the mountain, which is purely the dream of the Jiabu people! ”

The Gar family comes from a small valley in Jiabu, and the meaning of this song is self-evident, and the Chidu Songtsen is mocking the Gar family to the fullest.

Not only that, but in the following song, Chide Songtsen's bitter hatred unabashedly expresses his desire to put Qinling to death and then hurry up: "The little cockroach on the ground is as proud as a bird, and wants to fly to the sky!" Fly! It has no wings. Even if you can have wings, the blue sky is high, and the clouds can't pass through, and you can't fly up to the sky, and you can't go down, and you can't drill into the ground. ”

Chi Marun knew very well in her heart that the final fate of Qin Ling was inevitable, and at this juncture of life and death decisions, of course she had to stand by her son's side without hesitation.

Chi Malen replied bluntly: "That letter must be fake, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, what matters is what it can do for us!" ”

Zamp didn't speak.
