0656 Monarchs and ministers are not tolerated, and soldiers meet each other

This summer is very uncomfortable for Tibet. The successive defeats and losses in foreign wars have given the country a tendency to erupt in many of the ills that have accumulated in the past.

Although the perennial foreign conquest allowed the power of Tibet to be greatly expanded, it also greatly overdrew the national morale. The periphery of the royal capital was still down, but after leaving the core area, it was a depressed scene as far as the eye could see, with uninhabited felt tents, unattended cattle, and uncultivated land, scattered in a disorderly manner.

In particular, as a military household, the Gui subjects who undertake military service have almost lost more than half of the males. However, since they are in the army, they must respond to the call every time they are recruited, otherwise they will be beheaded all over the house, so that many Gui subjects have fled in large numbers in order to survive without conscription.

As for the mediocre households, life is equally miserable, and they have to face many other dangers in addition to the heavy burden of collecting materials. For example, some state magnates, when their subordinates suffered serious losses, went around captive the population and used them as slaves to enrich their estates.

Of course, the misery of the people at the bottom is not clearly felt by the upper class. After all, over the past so many years, these untouchables have suffered and endured so much, and they have multiplied to this day, which shows that life is far from reaching a desperate situation.

However, the Tibetan elites also had their own anxieties, and they were much more urgent than the ordinary people.

In the war in the Western Regions, the Zanpu Wang Wei of Tubo, including the Wuru armor soldiers, did not dispatch much, mainly composed of private songs of various wealthy clans.

However, they overestimated the influence of the Western Turkic royal family Ashina on the states of the Western Regions, and when they went on an expedition to the Western Regions, they were not only attacked by the Tang army stationed in the four towns, but also the rest of the states in the Western Regions also took advantage of the fire to participate in the encirclement and suppression, making this trip to fortune with high hopes turned into a fateful journey.

Tens of thousands of troops went on the expedition, but only 12 out of 10 were able to return to the country, and the lost soldiers either died directly on the battlefield in the Western Regions, or were scattered in the subsequent rout.

All the Tibetan magnates who participated in this expedition suffered heavy losses, and the Gar family, as the commander, was no exception, although the commander Zanpo left the battlefield in time, another important member of the Gar family was scattered, and most of them died at the hands of the Western Regions states that participated in the war.

The Tibetan magnates were still skeptical about this, but it has been clearly recorded in the merit table of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty that the four sons of Tubo Lu Dongzan were indeed killed by the Khotanese army, and even their heads followed Wang Xiaojie's team back to the capital to offer victory.

Compared with the fiasco in the Western Regions, some Tibetan magnates did not pay enough attention to the fiasco of the Great Discussion of Qinling in Qinghai.

After all, since Tubo annexed Tuyuhun decades ago, Tuyuhun has been tossed by the Gar family. Fighting with the Tang army on the other side, regardless of the victory or defeat, the impact on Tubo was not very profound, at least not enough for the vast majority of people to feel the direct benefits brought by the victory over the Tang army.

If there is no stake, naturally there is no concern, even if you hear such a battle report, you will just sigh with emotion and say that the invincible golden body of Qinling is broken.

Of course, not everyone was so indifferent to the Qinghai war, and there were still many people who maintained a high degree of concern about it, especially the elites at the top of Tibet.

For these top-level magnates, the war in the Western Regions was just a defeat that could not be plundered, although the losses were not small, but it was not enough to make today's Tubo break their bones.

On the other hand, on the Qinghai side, although the main forces involved in the war were the Gar family troops and the Tuyuhun vassal forces, the direct forces of the Tubo family almost did not participate in the war. But despite this, in their opinion, the battle of Qinghai had a decisive influence on the direction of the Tibetan state.

At the beginning of August, Songtsen, the capital of Zanpu Chidu, convened the central state departments in the land of Nanmu to preside over the alliance.

Although many years ago, under the management of Zanpu Songtsen Gampo and Da Lun Dongzan, Tibet initially established a set of administrative systems. However, Tibet was still essentially an allied state, with Zampu nominally owning all the people, land, and cattle in the kingdom, and rewarding them to vassals.

But this is only a superficial statement, and the ministers stationed in the various places of Zampu are not able to effectively supervise the state departments at all, and even a large number of local officials are held by the heads of those state departments.

It is conceivable that these officials themselves have a great deal of autonomy and are not absolutely obedient to Zampu.

Therefore, outside of this basic administrative framework, Zampu still has to convene the powerful people in the country through the form of a parliament to hold meetings and consultations, and cannot make arbitrary decisions.

The Tibetan Council is usually held in summer and winter, and the summer conference is usually used to discuss the issue of material dispatch and war conquest because of the abundance of materials in various states and departments. In the winter, the members of the council recuperate and deal with internal affairs.

This year's Tibetan summer alliance has already been held, and it has been decided a few months in advance to decide the matter of sending troops to the Western Regions by the state departments. As August and autumn begin, there are still more than two months left before the winter council, and it is not easy to gather the state leaders scattered in various territories.

However, due to the war in the Western Regions, the leaders of the various states themselves also stayed near the city of Luosa to wait for news of the war, although the results of the battle were not satisfactory, but it was much more convenient to convene the alliance.

Before the council began, there were all sorts of voices around the city. Some fantasize that they can compensate for their losses through the Council, while others fear that they will be punished at the Council. But more people reprimanded the Zanpo of the Gar family for their unfavorable united front, so they caused the defeat and loss this time, and they must be severely punished.

Da Tan Dongzan has five sons, each of whom is very talented, among which the eldest son Zanxiruo and the second son Qinling are the most outstanding, and they each successively served as the chief of the Fan State. In addition to these two, the most important remaining member of the Gar family is the tsamva. When the Great Discussion of Qinling was guarding the royal capital and dealing with state affairs, Zanpo was in charge of Qinghai, and his person was definitely the right-hand man of the Great Discussion of Qinling.

Therefore, this time the public opinion condemned Zanpo, and the purpose was definitely not pure, and it did not stop at the investigation of the war in the Western Regions.

However, the day before the meeting, Zampo, who had been leading the defeated troops back to the city of Raksha, suddenly disappeared. When the news reached the city of Luosa, all the magnates of the Tibetan kingdom, including Zanpu Chidu Songtsen, who were preparing to join the council, were shocked.

At present, it has become a consensus in the country to severely punish the responsibility for the defeat of Zanpo, but just before the punishment is imposed, the main culprit actually absconded, what does it mean? Could it be that the Gar family really wants to rebel?

With such speculation in mind, Zampu also made a decision, and immediately ordered the conscription of the Zhuru king's guards, and gathered a group of powerful people in the country who were ready to participate in the alliance and their private songs, and directly besieged the manor of the Gar family in Luosa City, and took down more than 1,000 of its men and women!

Because of the escape of Zampa, the long-standing contradictions in the Tibetan Kingdom suddenly broke out, and the royal family and the Gar family seemed to be about to launch an endless attack and killing, and the atmosphere of the entire Rasha City became unprecedentedly tense.

However, the more shocking news did not stop there, and not long after Zamp conquered the Gar family manor, an even bigger turn of events occurred. The Great Lun Qinling, which was supposed to be in Qinghai, suddenly appeared in the territory of Yeru in the middle of the country!

As the four rus of Weizang, Yeru's territory is located in the northwest of Luosa City, and more importantly, the southeast of Yeru is the upper reaches of Jiqu where Luosa City is located. In other words, after the appearance of Ye Ru, if he really intends to plot chaos and return to attack the royal capital, he can go straight to the heart of Luosa City along Jiqu, and there is no danger to defend it!

Qin Ling returned to the country so quietly and arrived at the heart of Weizang Siru, which was definitely someone secretly cooperating. The biggest suspicion is naturally none other than Ye Ru's current owner, Ye Ali.

The situation was so reversed, Zampu was naturally furious, and hurriedly led Wang Wei's army to attack the deer park, but after arriving at the deer park, he found that the building had already been empty, and after making careful inquiries, he learned that as early as many days ago, the Ye Rujia soldiers stationed here had been sent out by the order of the queen mother to quell the rebellion of Dazang.

Dazang's rebellion is just a trivial matter, and Ye Ru's leader left, and he even cooperated with the Great Discussion of Qinling, and put Qinling, a tiger and wolf person, into the heart of the country, this is the real big trouble!

"The queen mother can concentrate on recuperation, and the soldiers are transferred, so she doesn't need to ask again!"

Zampu had been full of ambition to prepare to do something to the Gar family, and he didn't care much about some small things in the country, so he didn't know much about this matter, and when he learned the reason, he was immediately furious, and simply ordered to block the queen mother's residence in Unarakang, and the queen mother was not allowed to meet outsiders privately.

Regardless of Zampu's anger for the time being, Qinling has quietly reached the heart of the country, which is a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

Zampu is young and vigorous, and since he has directly attacked the manor of the Gar family, he does not plan to continue to do so, and wants to directly rectify Wang Wei and go to Yeru to start a war with Qinling.

However, Ye Ru's betrayal has made the people in the country panic, and the loss of the defeat in the Western Regions has made those powerful people who are also hostile to the Gar family unable to mobilize enough men and horses in a short time.

Before the war started, the formation was in chaos, and in desperation, Zampu had to send someone to the place where Ye Ruqin's mausoleum was located and asked: "What is the intention of Da Lun's sudden return to China?" If I feel that I am not worthy of the throne, I will retire to the palace of the Red Mountain, and the affairs of the state will be held by the great discourse. ”

Qinghai was newly defeated, although Qinling quietly sneaked back to China, but the troops of the department were really not much, but only more than 2,000 direct soldiers were hastily recruited, although Ye Ru was a soldier to respond, but Ye Ru obviously would not follow him to the country.

In the face of Zampu's questioning, Qinling only responded: "Qinghai was defeated, and the Tang army's heart to seek me was even more intense. ”
