Luosa City is located in the valley of the Jiqu River on the plateau, although the winter is cold but not cold, although the summer is hot but not fumigated, it can be said that the climate is pleasant, can be cultivated and pastured.

Before Yijiazi, the ruler of the Jiqu River Valley was still Queen Sun Bo. At that time, the Tubo Zampu Nanri Lunzan, which was located in Yalong, Shannan, took advantage of Sun Bo's civil turmoil and turmoil, led 20,000 elite soldiers, and with the cooperation of Sun Bo's nobles Niang and Wei, Li Ying and Wai jointly attacked and destroyed Sun Bo in one fell swoop, and since then, Tubo has become the only overlord in eastern Tibet.

However, soon Nanri Nonzan was poisoned by the old department of Shannan, and after his son Songtsen Gampo succeeded to the throne, in order to get rid of the constraints and oppression of the old department of Shannan, and to rule the country more conveniently, he took the Jiqu River Valley as a new ruling center, and built a city as the capital in this realm, which is now the city of Luosa.

For thousands of years since then, although the situation on the plateau has changed, the city of Rosa has always been the political and religious center of the plateau, attracting many tribes to come to worship.

Now that Tibet is becoming more and more powerful, it has become the overlord of the western region, and the name of its royal capital Luosa City has naturally spread all over the four fields. However, although the city of Rosa is not small, it is not a completed majestic city in itself.

In the old years, the Jiqu River often flooded, so a large number of lakes and mires were formed around the river valley, and the real habitable physical area was only a few dozen miles in radius, and it could not be connected at all.

In the old years, the center of Tibetan rule had just been transferred here, and the living environment of agriculture and animal husbandry in previous years also made them not have rich experience in civil engineering. Therefore, at the beginning of the construction of the city in Tibet, there was no unified plan, but it was nothing more than adapting measures to local conditions and living in circles.

Although Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty later entered Tibet, bringing a large number of craftsmen, and Luosa City experienced a round of large-scale construction, the initial pattern has been set up, and it has not been reborn.

Up to now, the city is based on the Red Mountain Palace, with the Jokhang Temple as the center, and there are many manors set up by the magnates and state leaders in the middle. In the narrow sense, the city of Luosa only refers to the palace of Hongshan and its surrounding ancillary buildings where Zampu lived, while the city of Luosa in the broad sense refers to the many manor buildings distributed in the valley of the Jiqu River.

Its city does not have the strict layout of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no unified city wall building itself. The magnates of the Tibetan kingdom who lived here either built between the river valleys according to their political positions or their personal preferences, and each freely divided into large and small buildings of different scales.

On the hill to the northeast of the city of Luosa, there is a rather magnificent building called Yunarakang. Lacan means palace in the Tibetan language, and it must be Zampu and his wife and concubines and immediate family members who can live in a building of this size.

The nobleman who lives in Yunarakang is the queen mother of Tubo, the Wulu clan. Wu Lu is the princess of Mangsong Mangzan, the grandson of Songtsan Gampo, and the mother of contemporary Zampu. When Zampu succeeded to the throne when he was young, the Wulu clan lived in the Hongshan Palace to raise Zampu and take charge of the royal government.

When Zampu came of age, the Queen Mother left the Red Mountain Palace and lived in Unarakang. It's not because Zamplun is weak and doesn't tolerate his mother, but because the situation in Tibet is complicated and the situation is surging, Zampu and the queen mother live separately, so they can avoid being wiped out by the plotters.

According to the current situation in Tibet, it is self-evident that such an arrangement is mainly to guard against someone.

After moving to Unarakang, the queen mother lived in seclusion without the Lu clan and hardly appeared in public, so that many powerful people in the Tibetan Kingdom ignored the existence of such a queen mother in the country.

But the upper-level figures in Tibet, who really served as the state affairs cardinal, knew that although the queen mother did not show up in her spare time, she knew everything about the major and minor affairs in the country.

Although the young Zampu seemed to be very assertive, and with the assistance of a number of royal ministers, he began to deal with the military and political affairs of the country at an early age and presided over large and small alliances. But some major decisions, even where Zampu went on a safari and visited a certain family's manor, all had the guidance of the Queen Mother Wu Lu behind them.

The reason why the queen mother who lives in seclusion can do this, first of all, is because of her identity.

Soon after the unification of the plateau by Tibet, Songtsen Gampo died in the prime of life, and his son died first, so he could only be succeeded by his grandson. The Wulu clan, who was born in the Tibetan Ru clan, was not only the spouse of the young Zampu, but also a pawn of a cadre of royal ministers loyal to Zampu to check and balance Gar Dongzan.

Therefore, today's Queen Mother has both her family as the backing and a group of royal ministers who are loyal, which is an important help for Zampu to smoothly take over state affairs.

Secondly, after the former generation of Zanpu in Tibet died again, there was a period of hiding, which lasted for several years. During this period of time, there was actually no king in the whole of Tibet, and even the current Zampu was sent to the Gar family for several years.

At that time, under the leadership of the queen mother Wulu, Tubo had a series of games with Qinling and others of the Gar family, and finally prompted Zampu to return to the unification.

In this process, it is natural that there will be a group of royal ministers who are wholeheartedly loyal to the queen mother, so as to ensure that the power of the Gar family cannot completely overwhelm the royal power.

Although Zampu is now an adult, this layer of allegiance has not faded with the passage of time. Even in some private occasions, there is no shortage of people who say that the queen mother is indeed the queen mother, but Zampu may not.

After all, the Gar family itself has a precedent of disobedience to the lord, and after entering Tibet, the father and son have been in charge of the country for decades, and no one can estimate what bold things they will do.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the Queen Mother does not have the Lu clan to represent the royal inheritance of Tibet after Songtsen Gampo, and in this regard, it even surpasses today's Zampu.

The Queen Mother has such a transcendent influence in the political situation in Tibet, which naturally makes people feel awe-inspired. Sometimes Zampu suddenly made some important decisions, and some of the princes were perfunctory in person, and then they had to come to Unarakang to pay a secret visit to ask if this was the meaning of the Queen Mother.

In addition, the Wulu clan itself has a group of bureaucrats to serve it, although it does not directly interfere in military and political affairs on the surface, no matter what turmoil occurs in the Tubo government and the opposition, they will never want to hide it from her. Among this group of inner temple bureaucrats, Sun Bo Xiaowang Mo Nong clan is the representative.

At this time, in the living room of a separate hall in Yunarakang, these two women, who could be said to be the most powerful in the Tubo Kingdom, were sitting opposite each other.

The Queen Mother sat in the center of the hall, wearing a collared skirt, which was cut and spliced with various colors of brocade, as if a hundred flowers were draped over her body.

This kind of skirt with rich colors, paired with a high felt hat, is the dress that the upper class ladies of Tibet like today. The woman opposite is also dressed in the same way, but the color of the skirt is simpler than that of the queen mother, which is also a kind of dress rule that is customary in Tibet.

"It is already certain that Da Tan was indeed defeated in Qinghai. Although not long ago, Da Lun ordered the blockade of the passage of the Bailan Territories, but there were still some people who retreated from the battle and fled over the mountains in advance. ”

Sun Bo Xiao Wang Mo Nong is in his thirties, his face is plump, quite bright, sitting in front of the queen mother, leaning forward, elbowing a few points, the plump chest reveals a large touch of white flesh at the collar, although the queen mother opposite is also a woman, but the eyes still can't help but linger frequently.

"The untouchables of the Gabe Valley have finally tasted the pain of being humiliated by others? The general of the Tang State's united front this time is the black tooth Changzhi of Heyuan? ”

Such a gloating tone really shouldn't come from the mouth of a royal mother, after all, no matter how arrogant Qinling is, if its people are defeated, it will still damage the interests of the entire Tibetan country.

But when she heard the defeat of Qinling, the queen mother smiled without the Lu clan, which shows that the contradictions and grievances between the Tubo royal family and the Gar family have been so deep that they far exceed the threat posed by the enemy country.

After hearing this, the Mo Nong clan nodded and said, "Yes, it was that Black Tooth Changzhi who defeated the Great Theory outside the Mo Liyi. But I also heard that the commander of the Tang army this time was not Heizhi, but a young king sent west by his country, who was the King of the Golden Cup that had been rumored in China before......"

In recent years, although Tubo has had a bad relationship with the Tang Dynasty, it does not mean that there is no contact at all.

Regardless of the various exchanges between the people for the time being, the queen mother who represents the interests of the royal family has tried to communicate with the Tang Dynasty many times, on the one hand, in view of the current situation of internal and external troubles and frequent turmoil in Tibet, and is unwilling to chase martial arts too much, and on the other hand, it is hoped that it can find a counterbalance to Qinling abroad.

Even during the Yongchang period of the Tang Kingdom, the year when the Empress Dowager of the Tang State ascended the throne as emperor, the Queen Mother Wulu also sent envoys to bypass Qinghai controlled by Qinling, and went from Songzhou in western Sichuan to the Tang State to congratulate.

It is precisely because of this that Tubo has also heard a little about the changes in the situation of the upper nobles of the Tang Kingdom. Not to mention that Qinling itself admires the Tang Kingdom, and the Tang people play music in its tent, so the famous King of the Tang Dynasty is also slightly well-known in Tibet.

"Is this information accurate? Civil strife broke out in the Tang Kingdom last year, and personnel changes were frequent, and no accurate news has been sent back so far. It is said that the Easy King was deeply loved by his grandmother, and without his grandmother's powerful care, he could still lead the army into battle? I also heard that the King of Freedom is still younger than Zampu, and he can restrain the untouchables of the Gabe Valley? ”

The Queen Mother was so disgusted with Qinling that she was reluctant to call him by his surname or official position in ordinary conversations, but only by contemptuous of his name.

When the little princess heard this, she continued to reply: "Although I have heard some news, it is too strange to be sure, and I only say it for the queen mother to guess." It is said that the turmoil of the Tang Kingdom last year was the rise of this free king and the imprisonment of his grandmother, so he took power and fought against the great discussion in Qinghai. ”

"Is there such a thing? If it is true, it seems that the King of Freedom is also a malevolent and powerful man, who can compete with the untouchables of the Gabe Valley, and is not as open-minded as his singing. Continue to inquire carefully, and if there is any new information, please tell us immediately. ”

Because there is not much information to be known, the Queen Mother cannot make a more accurate judgment.

After hearing this, Sun Bo's little Wang Mo Nong nodded in response, and then asked for instructions: "Now that you know that the great debate is defeated, your prestige will be greatly damaged in the future, do you want to prepare to recall it back to the royal capital and wait for the opportunity to kill him?" ”
