Chapter 460: Provocation
Li Mao's mood is not good enough, for so many years, his mood has never been good, since his mother died, his wife was occupied by his father, he has been disheartened with the world. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this moment, there was actually a person who claimed to be Tubo who dared to threaten him, which made his bad mood even worse and made him look extremely angry.
Tashi Zan didn't care about Li Mao's anger, and said softly: "His Royal Highness King Shou often comes to Xingguo Temple alone, isn't it connected with someone?" If His Majesty knew that King Shou was with me, a Tibetan who was plotting to restore the country, I don't know what he would think. ”
"Shameless, we don't know each other, my father is wise and martial, and I won't believe you as a Tubo."
Li Mao sighed and glared at Tashi Zan calmly, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how could he be soft in front of the Tubo people.
"Wise Shenwu, hahaha, is what King Shou said really from his heart? Just because of the emperor who killed his three sons and robbed his daughter-in-law on trumped-up charges, he is really unworthy, what does His Royal Highness King Shou think? ”
Tashi Zan's mouth sneered, and there was even a hint of interesting contempt.
When Li Mao heard this, he was extremely ashamed and angry, the green tendons on his forehead twisted violently, his wife was occupied by his father, which was the biggest pain in his heart, he was already painful enough, Tashi Zan mentioned this matter in front of him, it was completely to expose his scars and make him embarrassed.
"What did my father do, it's not your turn to be a Tubo person to chew the root of your tongue, my Tang Dynasty is now stable, this king advises you, don't think about recovering the country, go, you go!"
Li Mao was very annoyed and gave an order to expel the guests.
"No, I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay and have a good chat with His Royal Highness King Shou."
Tashi Zan's face was shameless.
"What the hell do you want to do? This king is not familiar with you, so there is nothing to talk about. ”
Li Mao turned his face away and gave the order to evict the customer again.
Tashi Zan walked to Li Mao's side and sneered contemptuously: "It has been a long time since I was in Xingguo Temple, and it is common for His Royal Highness King Shou to complain in front of the Buddha, and I know that His Royal Highness King Shou hates the Tang Emperor in his heart, but he is helpless against him, yes, he is the emperor, he has the supreme right, and he can even destroy my Tubo and rob the princess of His Royal Highness King Shou, what is it?" His Royal Highness King Keshou, are you really willing to suffer this humiliation for the rest of your life? In this way, how will future generations evaluate King Shou? Is His Royal Highness King Shou willing? ”
"Shut up, you Tibetan maniac, shut up this king and get out."
Li Mao's body trembled, and he glared at Tashi Zan angrily, at this moment, in addition to anger, he also had a trace of unwillingness and depression in his heart, he really hated his father, but he was helpless about it, who made him a powerless prince? The imperial power of the Tang Dynasty is all in the hands of his father, and he has suffered unfair treatment, and he can only swallow his anger.
Tashi Zan's face was extremely thick-skinned, he didn't care about Li Mao's bad words, but showed a feeling like a spring breeze, and continued to persuade: "His Royal Highness King Shou, the current emperor is old, you don't want to replace him, as long as you sit in the emperor's seat, the whole world is yours, and everything you have lost can be recovered, so it's fair." ”
"Tashi Zan, you are wishful thinking, this king advises you to break off the idea of returning to the country! As for the affairs of this king, it is not your turn to worry about it. ”
Li Mao's words carried a hint of contempt, in his opinion, a small Tubo slave who died in the country was not enough at all, let alone could do anything big.
"Really? But after so many years, isn't King Shou still haunted by the things of the year, isn't it painful to live like this, His Royal Highness King Shou would rather live a painful life than give it a go and take everything he has lost. ”
Tashizan continued to persuade.
"Hmph, you are a little Tubo who died in the country, your tone is not small, although your father is old, but he firmly controls the Tang Dynasty, his control of the Tang Dynasty is unshakable, no one can seize the emperor's country, don't waste your words, be honest and be a Tang people!"
Li Mao was a little tired, he didn't seem so angry, and at the same time, there was a trace of helplessness in his heart, he didn't think about rebellion, but he knew that it was unlikely, he didn't have the slightest ability to rebel, he couldn't oppose his father at all, and he could only endure the humiliation imposed on his brain.
"King Shou's words are wrong, although the Tang Emperor firmly controls the country, but as long as he dies suddenly, everything will change, as long as His Royal Highness King Shou is willing to cooperate with Zaixia, Zai is willing to support Shouwang to ascend the throne."
"How can you do so much with just a small Tibetan person, isn't this wishful thinking?"
Li Mao is still dismissive, but deep down in his heart, he really expects his father to die suddenly from time to time, and it is very enjoyable to think about it.
"Haha! Since I dare to say these words, I naturally have some capital, and now there are many tribes attached to the Tang Dynasty, but how many are sincerely loyal to the Tang Dynasty, it is unknown, at least, the people of my Tubo do not recognize the Tang Dynasty, just succumb to force, temporarily surrender, as long as the Tang Emperor dies, I Tubo can re-establish the country. ”
Tashi Zan said unabashedly.
"You are so bold, you actually plan to assassinate the Tang Emperor, you are so sure, this king will not arrest you and hand you over to the court for credit."
Li Mao asked sharply.
"I have already said in the following, if King Shou denounces in the following, I will insist that His Highness is an accomplice, and my accomplices will definitely insist on His Highness, with the temperament of His Majesty today, even if he does not believe that His Highness is an accomplice, he will definitely not spare His Highness, King Shou should think about the abolition of the prince and the king of light! The three of them are all your own brothers, what a mistake they have made! was actually executed by the emperor, so the emperor would not care about executing one more Shouwang. ”
Tashi Zan said calmly.
"What a boldness, you dare to threaten this king."
Li Mao's tone was angry, but he had to admit that if this shameless Tashi Zan, who really bit himself to death, was a fellow party, it was really not easy to explain, after all, he ran to Xingguo Temple when he had nothing to do, and he stayed for a long time, and this shameless Tashi Zan has been living in Xingguo Temple, even if he has ten mouths, he can't explain it clearly.
Although his father may feel some guilt about him, it is self-evident how he will be treated as long as he is involved in rebellion, that is, this Tashi Zan hit him in the death hole, making him feel that he cannot resist.
"This king is just an idle man who has no soldiers, no power, and doesn't care about the affairs of the world, you tell me this, what is the conspiracy? There are many heirs of the father and the emperor, why did you choose this king? ”
Li Mao was helpless, his tone softened a lot, he is living a very unsatisfactory life now, if he bears another charge of rebellion, his life will be completely unpassable.
Seeing that Li Mao's anger had dissipated most of it, Tashi Zan showed a smug smile and said: "The Tang Emperor has more than 20 sons, but only His Royal Highness King Shou has suffered a great humiliation, which was imposed on King Shou by the Tang Emperor. ”
"A Tibetan man came to fight for this king, do you think it is credible?"
Li Mao is not a fool, of course he will not believe these nonsense.
"Haha! As long as His Royal Highness King Shou makes up his mind, he and the Tibetan righteous people will do their best to assist, of course, we also have one condition, I hope His Royal Highness King Shou can agree? ”
Tashizan said seriously.
Look, the fox's tail is exposed!
"On what terms?"
"His Royal Highness King Ruoshou will be able to ascend to the throne one day, and I hope that we can return our Zampu to assist me in re-establishing the country in Tubo, which will be a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and enter the capital every year."
Tashizan made his own request.
Li Mao smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "What Your Excellency said is somewhat reasonable, but if you want to assassinate your father, it will be difficult to ascend to the sky, besides, even if your father suddenly suffers an accident, it should be the crown prince to inherit the throne, and it will not be my turn to be the king of life anyway!" ”
As the prince of Fuxian, Li Mao knows his own catties, now, he does not have the slightest power, and no one in the entire court is willing to help him, except for the emperor, the crown prince is the largest and the first heir, in addition, Qingwang Li Tan is also an old qualification as the eldest son, and there are several princes who are older than Li Mao, and they are also more qualified to inherit the throne than Li Mao, so it is really difficult for him to succeed to the throne.
Moreover, now that his father has robbed his wife, it is absolutely impossible to improve his status, otherwise, once Li Mao ascends the throne, how will he treat Yang Yuhuan and how will he treat his father.
"His Royal Highness King Shou don't have to be discouraged, the solution is thought up by people, as long as you are willing to cooperate with us, we will definitely achieve ultimate success, welcome His Royal Highness King Shou to join us."
Tashi Zan said excitedly.
"What if the king does not agree to cooperate with you? What are you going to do? ”
Li Mao straightened up and looked at Tashi Zan.
"Haha! Even if there is no joining and help from His Royal Highness King Shou, we will assassinate the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, as long as I still have a warrior in Tubo, I will not give up, if the assassination fails, the people who are captured will bite the princes of the Tang Dynasty, including His Royal Highness King Shou, we Tubo people want to watch the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty kill his sons one by one, so as to relieve the hatred in the heart of the country. ”
Tashi Zan said sinisterly.
"You Tibetans are so despicable."
Li Mao scolded with contempt, and said: "Tubo was destroyed because of his own fault, and it was Li Shilang who led the troops to destroy your Tubo, why did you point all the fingers at my father." ”
"Hmph, if there is no order from the Tang Emperor, who would dare to lead the troops to destroy my Tubo, of course, that Li Shilang is also among the assassins of my Tubo warriors."
Tashi said shamelessly, paused, and continued: "To tell His Royal Highness King Shou the truth, in the Tang Dynasty, there are also many of our internal responses, and the travel of the Tang Emperor is under our control, so even without the addition of His Royal Highness King Shou, we can complete the great cause of restoring the country, but I feel that His Royal Highness King Shou is more suitable to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and there are more reasons to oppose the Tang Emperor, and our cooperation will be very pleasant." ”
Li Mao sighed and said, "This king is a little tired, let's go!" ”
"His Royal Highness King Shou should think about it carefully, and I will leave first."
Tashi Zan knew that he had to give the other party some time to consider, he believed in his own judgment, even if Li Mao did not agree to cooperate, he would not rashly betray them, so as not to be bitten back, in addition, he also believed in this Tang Dynasty prince, and he resented the Tang Emperor very much in his heart.
After Tashi Zan left, Shouwang Li Mao fell into deep thought, he didn't think that a little Tibetan slave could have much energy, and he didn't believe that they could succeed in the assassination, but he was disheartened, and he didn't have the slightest affection for his father, so he wouldn't go to warn, he preferred not to hear anything, so that there would be less of these troubles.
"Let him go!"
Li Mao felt that he was an insignificant person at all, whether he agreed to cooperate with Tashi Zan, it didn't seem to make much difference, he knew very well that Tashi Zan came to him just to cheer up the Tubo restoration forces, let them see the discord within the Tang imperial family, so as to strengthen his strong confidence in the restoration of the country.
Although he doesn't like to be used, Li Mao feels that he seems to have no better choice, in case he really provokes these guys, maybe they will really use counter-tricks against him, and he also knows that even if his father doesn't believe that these are true, he is very likely to take the opportunity to get rid of himself, or put himself under house arrest completely, and live a more miserable life from now on, and his resentment towards his father naturally makes him think of his father very badly, after all, a father who robbed his son and daughter-in-law can be a good person.
After Tashi Tsan left, he went directly to a house near Xingguo Temple and met with a few friends.
These friends are all partners he has recently wooed, and they have a common goal, that is, to bring down the Tang Empire, so as to obtain huge benefits for themselves.
"An Shangshu, General Duan, I've kept you waiting."
Tashi Zan greeted him as soon as he entered the house.
These two people are An Lushan of the Tang Dynasty and Duan Shi, the general of Nanzhao.
An Lushan has been deprived of military power by the imperial court and has become an idler living in the capital, which makes him very dissatisfied in his heart, and Duan Shi is the henchman of Nanzhao Pavilion Luofeng, a few years ago, Nanzhao King Pi Luoge died, and the second son Yu Chengjie founded the country with the help of the Tang Dynasty, and Yu Chengjie was incapable, Nanzhao's national strength has not been strong, which made many careerists in Nanzhao very dissatisfied, Duan Shi as Ge Luofeng's henchman, naturally squeezed out by Yu Chengjie, so, his heart is even more dissatisfied, but his strength is limited, helpless, but at least, Duan Shi was hostile to Datang.
In this way, the two men became the target of Tashi Zan's co-optation to help him restore his country, and they were willing to cooperate with Tashi Zan.
