Chapter 246: Ten Years of Strike
This is what Lu Xiaoxian wanted, he smiled and explained: "The Great Zhou Emperor wrote a personal letter to Tubo Zampu, and the content must be kept secret!" Thousands of miles away from Luoyang to Luocheng City, you must pass through Fuqi City in the middle, how to keep this letter on your body? ”
Hearing Lu Xiaoxian say this, Zampu and the Queen Mother couldn't help but nod.
Before, Qili Xu had already reported to Zampu and the Queen Mother that when he was in Fu Qi City, there was an incident in which Qinling forcibly asked Lu Xiaoxian for a handwritten letter, and this letter was indeed not safe to carry on his body.
"When I came, Your Majesty specially instructed that I would convey her opinion to Zampu in person, so it would be safer!"
Guo Zhen simply threw himself to the ground for Lu Xiaoxian's admiration, and when such a tricky matter came to him, it was resolved in a few words, and by the way, he pulled the tiger skin to make a big banner, and turned what he wanted to do into the original intention of the Great Zhou Emperor Wu Zetian to convey it to Tubo Zampu.
With such a clear purpose, Lu Xiaoxian dared to do it.
Zampu nodded: "That being the case, please speak to the envoy!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian was also not polite, and said bluntly: "The Great Zhou Emperor knows very well that the Great Zhou Emperor has been in control of the government for a long time, and he does not take Zampu in his eyes at all, and she is willing to help Zan Pu get rid of Qinling!" ”
Hearing Lu Xiaoxian's words, not only Zan Pu and the Queen Mother, but even Qi Li Xu and Guo Zhen were taken aback.
Qi Lixu's heart tightened, Lu Xiaoxian's words were too direct, he looked at Zampu cautiously.
Zampu didn't seem to react, and looked at the Queen Mother with an inquiring gaze.
The Queen Mother frowned, staring at Lu Xiaoxian, trying to see something from Lu Xiaoxian's face.
Guo Zhen was a little numb, in his opinion, it was not strange for Lu Xiaoxian to do anything shocking. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, first trying to calm himself down.
Lu Xiaoxian ignored everyone's strange expressions at all, and continued to say to himself: "Your Majesty asked me to tell Zampu that she still has some experience and experience in such a thing as getting rid of the ministers. If Zampu agrees, she is willing to give Zampu the maximum help and guarantee that the Qinling will completely disappear from this world within a few months! ”
Empress Dowager Chimaren's heart fluttered.
Although she has always lived in Luoqi City and has never been to the Great Zhou, she is not a lonely person, and she still knows a little about the situation of the Great Zhou Emperor Wu Zetian.
As a woman, Wu Zetian can sit on the throne of the Great Zhou Emperor, if he doesn't have very powerful means, he will definitely not be able to. In the process, she will eradicate all those who oppose her, and eliminate them from the gate clan. Whether she is the prime minister of the dynasty or the general of the border pass, as long as there is a will to oppose her, she will be physically eliminated. The Empress Dowager Chi Ma Lun even heard that Wu Zetian had killed many innocent people by taking a large number of informants. So for so many years, her throne has been secure.
Although they are both women, Chi Ma Lun has to admit that Wu Zetian's means and abilities are much stronger than herself, and she has the right to speak in removing the ministers. If she is really willing to help Zampu, it is still very reliable to get rid of Qinling.
Zampu's eyes also lit up.
The phrase "Guarantee to make Qinling disappear from this world within a few months" is simply too attractive to Zampu.
Zampu had been waiting for this day for too long, he didn't want to wait for one more day, if he could really get rid of Qinling in a few months, of course he was willing to accept the help of the Great Zhou Emperor.
But is it really that simple?
Wu Zetiangui is the emperor of the Great Zhou, how could he come to help the enemy country's Zampu for no reason?
What if there is some conspiracy in this?
The Queen Mother knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and after a moment of silence, she asked Lu Xiaoxian lightly: "Envoy Lu, it is of course a good thing that the Great Zhou Emperor is willing to help Zampu, and we welcome it too." It's just that I want to know what she wants from Tubo, and I'll discuss it with Zampu! ”
The queen mother's meaning was very clear, and she asked Lu Xiaoxian to make conditions. If the conditions are too harsh for Tubo to accept, then the matter will be stopped. If the conditions are right, of course, you can talk about it!
"Peace!" Lu Xiaoxian gently spit out two words.
"Peace?" Zampu and the Queen Mother were stunned, not knowing what the word Lu Xiaoxian meant.
"Since Qinling came to power, Tubo and our dynasty have been at war almost all the time in recent years, which is not what the Great Zhou Emperor wants to see. If you can get rid of Qinling, I hope that Tubo and the Great Zhou will strike for ten years, this is the condition of the Great Zhou Emperor! ”
"It's as simple as that?" The Queen Mother seemed to be a little unconvinced.
"It's not easy!" Lu Xiaoxian's eyes were blazing, "Zampu and the Empress Dowager may agree to make a decision to strike the army for ten years, but it is not easy to get everyone in Tubo to abide by this decision. ”
After listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Zan Pu and the Queen Mother were silent.
What Lu Xiaoxian said is the truth, this matter is really not so simple, and this has a lot to do with the way the Tibetan regime was established.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Tibet has not been able to resolve the relationship between the royal power and local forces. Or in other words, the excessive power of local power groups has always been a hidden concern for the Tibetan royal power. Even if he was as strong as Songtsen Gampo, he had to spend a lot of time traveling around the country during his tenure to deal with contradictions and government affairs in various parts of the country, not to mention the young Chide Songtsen.
The local forces in Tibet not only possessed vast fiefdoms that could be hereditary, but also had relatively independent private armed forces in the fiefs. And, as time went on, more and more children of the nobility took command of the Tibetan border army.
Since Qinling's great speech, under the example of his successive campaigns, the Tubo generals plotted for a more important position in the court by virtue of their military exploits and obtained population and financial resources for their families through war and plunder, which became a golden road that everyone could emulate and reach the sky.
In this case, letting Tubo and the Great Zhou strike for ten years is tantamount to cutting off the future of those Tibetan noble generals, which cannot be completely changed by the decision of Zampu and the Empress Dowager. So, it's not as simple as it seems.
Lu Xiaoxian sighed and said: "When the Great Zhou Emperor ascended the throne, although he was nearly seventy years old, the country was still full of vitality under her governance. However, due to the continuous war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, which caused a great obstacle to the development of the country, the Great Zhou had to station a large number of troops in the area west of the Longyou River. Especially in the Liangzhou area, the grain is extremely expensive, and a piece of millet costs thousands of dollars. Every autumn, a large area of the grassland was burned on the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty to increase the supply pressure of the Tibetan cavalry and weaken the Tibetan attack. The idea of the Great Zhou Emperor was very simple, she wanted the common people under her rule to live a good life, so she hoped that Tubo and the Great Zhou would strike their troops in order to achieve peace between the two countries! ”
