As the most powerful minister in Tibet and the minister with the highest military achievements in the Tang Dynasty, the actual Qinling is very different from what many people have heard and known.

The two great battles of Dafeichuan and Chengfengling made Qinling famous at home and abroad, and even far surpassed his father and brother in the military field. Therefore, many people take it for granted that Qinling should be full of hatred for the Tang State in his heart, and have a resolute spirit that is incompatible.

But in fact, anyone who knows a little about Qinling, or is qualified enough to contact him, can experience the kind of admiration and admiration that this person exudes for Datang from the bottom of his bones.

"When discussing things in the country, it is good to be frivolous and alarming, and to despise the world for its ignorance. The behemoth, what you see stops at one point, you talk about the strength and weakness, and you will win, which is really ridiculous! ”

Qinling will always remember that when he was young, he followed his father into the Tang Dynasty, and saw the wealth of Longyou and the majesty of Chang'an. At that time, he couldn't help but burst out of his heart with doubts, such a powerful empire can really be built by manpower?

"Those who live in a corner cannot speak of the greatness of heaven and earth! There are four poles in the world, and what you see in life is just a township. A man's heart is big and small, and he must hold it up with what he sees and hears. This time in the Tang Dynasty, although your life is in other hands, but the knowledge you see in the Tang Kingdom is not what you can see in Tibet.

Everything in the world that is visible to the human eye has a cause. The shallowness of personnel in our country can no longer allow you to go further in your intelligence. It is time for you to see how the mighty and greater kingdoms, and their rulers, rule over their people and govern their countries. ”

Although his father has passed away for many years, his words are still in his ears, and Qin Ling remembers this in his heart and cherishes every moment when he is hostage in the Tang Kingdom. It is difficult for people who cannot understand his mind to understand his various feelings back then.

For example, if you have big ambitions and want to create a great career, but you are confused about the road ahead. But there is an object that not only accomplishes the great thing you envisioned, but even accomplishes something much greater than you can imagine!

Therefore, in the years when he was hostage in the Tang Kingdom, Qin Ling also exhausted his intelligence to absorb everything he could contact in the Tang Kingdom, and for him, every person and every truth here has great reference significance.

And the more he knew, the more shocked Qin Ling became, and he no longer doubted whether the foundation of the Tang Dynasty was an empire that could be forged by manpower. Because this is the result of the joint efforts of all the wise people who have appeared in this world for thousands of years!

Compared with the Tang Dynasty, their Tubo is both unfortunate and lucky.

Unfortunately, long before the Tang Dynasty, there were powerful national capitals and personnel active in this land, and there were written records of the wisdom of all ancestors for future generations to learn from. At that time, their Tibet was still a wild land, and even before Songtsen Gampo, it was still a barbaric custom of knotting ropes.

Fortunately, they have not been barbaric in Tibet, the foundation for the rise of hegemony is already there, and there is such a complete body of hegemony around them for reference.

"It's not difficult to start a business, everything I see, I have it, as long as the courage is not lacking, I can keep hunting. But this is not worth boasting about, the wild beasts of the mountains and forests have their territory and prey, but once they are old and weak, they will be expelled and killed. The successor starts from scratch and then hunts in a circle. But for generations, they have not been able to open up this mountain forest. It seems to be the overlord of the mountains and forests, but he is just a prisoner who has been imprisoned by this side of the world! ”

Speaking of this, Qin Ling raised his hand and knocked on the sigil hanging on his waist, representing the power of the Great Theory, looked at his son and said in a condensed voice: "Born as a human being, after all, you still have to be different from beasts, and you have to live like a human." The boy thought that I coveted his position, that he was underestimating me, and that he was looking down on himself. Having seen the vastness of heaven and earth, only those who wait for the next will retreat and covet that old cave! ”

Not to mention what the outsiders thought of Qinling, but even his sister-in-law Gongren was quite shocked when he heard this, and lowered his head and whispered: "Zampu is the lord after all, and he still can't be rude." ”

Hearing his son say this, Qin Ling was a little disappointed, but also a little relieved, and sighed: "Lack of ambition, it doesn't matter, as long as you know how to be in awe, you won't make a big mistake." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the dancing girls dancing in the hall, and said with a smile: "The Chinese people ridicule me for being keen on Tang opera, but I am just a lackey of Mu Tang, this is small and unspeakable." The strength of the Tang Kingdom is more than one side, I am not afraid of the nuisance of people's words, I am only worried that the difficulties of personnel will kill my ambition, and the preparation of these dramas is to sharpen myself, not to be satisfied with everything at the moment, there is still room for improvement in everything. ”

If these words are said from the mouths of others, it will inevitably make people feel that they are just looking for an excuse for their own greed for pleasure, but the words from Qinling give people an ambitious and high-spirited spirit.

Qin Ling only said these words in front of his son, as for how deep the misunderstanding and tricky criticism of others will be, it is not worth him to explain. Whether those people understand it or not, there are only two ways before them, either obey or perish!

Having such a father is both a blessing and a burden for Gong Ren. He also couldn't fully understand his father's ambition, and he was afraid that his father would be disappointed, so he simply stopped continuing the topic and said, "The tongue that my father sent a message to ask questions before has been led to Fu Qi City, do you want to see it?" ”

"Bring someone in."

After hearing this, Qin Ling nodded, and when his son came out, he raised his hand and instructed the musicians in the hall to play the new song "Luoyang Daughter's Walk".

Luoyang of the Tang Kingdom, he has not been there, this poem that writes the prosperity of the divine capital was introduced to the Fan Kingdom, aroused his great interest, but unfortunately there is no tone, and it is not the old tune of Yan Le that he knows, so he simply compiled it according to the new work of Shazhou Song, and sang with lyrics.

At this time, closing his eyes and listening to the lyrics he had composed, Qin Ling felt a sense of satisfaction and a faint sense of loss in his heart.

Although the Tang State was strong, the Tang army was not invincible, especially after two major victories near Qinghai, in addition to the real strategic level of great innovation, the simple collision and victory on the battlefield could not make Qinling feel too much pleasure.

He was deeply immersed in the Tang style, and especially enjoyed the satisfaction of crushing the Tang Kingdom in all aspects. In previous years, everything he needed to look up to was prostrate on his feet, which is one of the reasons why he has always been high-spirited.

Despite this ambition, Qin Ling also knew that it would be difficult for him to accomplish such a great feat in his lifetime. Although he is a great deal of power in the country of Fan, he rarely travels on this road, and the gods depicted in the lyrics are probably difficult to appreciate with his own eyes in this life.

Not long after Gong Ren left, he soon brought back a young man in his early thirties who described him as haggard. Although this young man looks like a Tang person, he is dressed like a Tibetan person, probably because he wants to please the nobles of the Tibetan country.

But I don't know who I followed, and I dressed up indecently, especially the handle of the knife inserted in the front waist near the chin of the chest, which was extremely arrogant and reckless when I met the nobles, because there was a suspicion of stabbing with a knife.

Before entering the hall, Gong Ren snatched the saber and threw it aside, but he didn't bother to explain the etiquette.

The Tang man just apologized again and again with a panicked face, and when he saw Gong Ren walking a few feet, he had the courage to step into the hall again, but when he saw the Tang style in the hall and the people who were performing songs and dances, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was even more at a loss.

Qin Ling did not meet the young man for the first time, and it was not until the end of the song that he opened his eyes and smiled: "Where is the old man Yang Zhonglang?" ”

"Humble ...... Small, small people Yang Si, knock on the big talk! Thank you, thank you for your old friendship and for taking in and sheltering the poor! ”

The young man Yang Si finally lost his cleverness, although he had already asked the local people for advice on the etiquette of meeting the nobles, but when he saw this in the hall, he still changed to the etiquette of the Tang people.

Qin Ling lowered his head and looked at him, bowed slightly, but said with a smile: "I don't know how the song you heard in your country is sung?" What are the similarities and differences, advantages and disadvantages of this performance? ”

Before the meeting, Yang Si had already thought of a full stomach, but he didn't expect that as soon as they met, Qin Ling asked such a question, and he immediately froze on the spot, and after a long while, he said in a trembling voice: "Xiao, Xiaomin's preschool is rigorous, not close to the law, really, really can't distinguish ......."

"It's a bit of a pity, in the old years in the Tang Dynasty, your father Yang Zhonglang was my commander, and he was very elegant. Do you still remember that in the spring of a certain year, your father pointed at me and reprimanded me, Fanbang barbarians, can you reward Huaguo Palace businessmen? I was not allowed to approach the main hall, so I could only patrol on the left side of the box. ”

Qin Ling's eyes flashed, and he continued, there was not much resentment in his tone, but mostly remembrance.

However, when these words were heard in the ears of the young man, they were like thunder, and they trembled with fear, and they prostrated themselves on the ground and begged for mercy.

Seeing this, Qin Ling sighed, waved his hand and said, "There is no need to be so frightened, I naturally can't talk about any old friendship with your father, but he still remembers to teach this story to his son, which shows that he misses me a little." Since you are poor, then you can stay in peace. I recruited you here today to ask, what kind of poverty forced you Hongnong Yang's children to flee to their hometowns? ”

The young man Yang Si prostrated on the ground, and after a few peeps, he found that Qinling really had no intention of continuing to investigate, and his anxiety calmed down slightly, and then he began to cry about the family tragedy.

The young man from the Hongnong Yang branch was implicated in the purge of Chang'an in Guannai a few months ago, and although he was not directly involved in the crime of stealing the official treasury, he also disobeyed the rules of the Yongwang shogunate in other ways, so he was slaughtered.

At that time, this Yang Si was in Longyou, and after receiving the news, he originally planned to abscond to seek refuge in the divine capital, but soon after he knew that the prince of Yong led a large army to the west, only to say that the king of Yong wanted to kill all of them who slipped through the net.

At this time, when he talked about the tragedy at home, he was full of anger, and he cursed viciously against King Yong, the executioner.
