Chapter 1035: Scheming
Li Ze looked at Xue Jun and said, "You mean that we should vigorously support the serf rebel army and reduce our support for Delhi Chinan?" ”
"Yes!" Xue Jun nodded affirmatively.
Li Ze was silent for a moment and said, "You should know that I don't like this kind of rebel army. Although they are also pitiful, they are forced to be helpless, and they are rising up against oppression. But they have no political program, they don't have a clear goal, and wherever they go, they destroy everything, they destroy everything, but they don't know how to build. Sometimes they are even more destructive than those who oppress them. ”
Xue Jun nodded in agreement.
"So, we have to think about whether it will be useful for them to be vigorously supported, whether they can be put on the wall? What do we get in the end? Just to increase the chaos of Tibet to a greater extent, in fact, we have more choices. Li Zedao.
"Li Xiang, if they have a clear goal, it will be difficult for us to control them." Xue Jun smiled: "I think it's good now, just let us get involved." They don't have a goal, we lead it, they don't have a political program, we give them one. As long as we can get the leadership of these serf rebels, then we won't have the final say in this team! ”
"Where is Tubo, not our Datang!" Li Ze smiled.
"Among the serfs, there are many Tang people." Xue Jundao: "Li Xiang, in those years, the Tang Dynasty lost the Western Regions, and after the Tubo people took control of the Western Regions, they wantonly captured the Tang people, either as serfs or as craftsmen. Although these people grew up in Tibet, they can still speak Tang language, and many of them have inherited our customs and habits from their parents, and they also yearn for the glory of the Tang people that their ancestors once said. What's more, this is their chance, and no one wants to be a slave for the rest of their lives. ”
Li Ze looked at Xue Jun and said, "It seems that you have already done a lot of work for this?" ”
Xue Jun was stunned for a while, and then said: "I can't hide anything from Li Xiang." ”
"I guessed!" Li Ze leaned back slightly: "How long have you been busy with this matter?" ”
"From the beginning of the serf uprising in Tibet. I saw this as an opportunity and began to quietly work on it. Xue Jundao.
"Competent!" Li Zedao: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the head of the Xue family, he has such a long-term vision, and he has also concealed it from the internal guards, and he has not told me about this matter until now." I wonder if the serf rebellion could make it, would you never talk about it? If my guess is correct, you must have an important person in the Xue clan, and now you are an important leader in this serf rebellion, right? ”
Xue Jun sweated on his head, snorted for a moment, and suddenly knelt down with a bang.
"Li Xiang's forgiveness!"
"What are you guilty of?" Li Ze stared at him and said, "Or I want to thank you, if it weren't for you doing so many things in advance, maybe I would have spent more effort in the future to settle this matter." ”
Xue Jun touched the ground with his head: "Li Xiang, I really don't have any other ideas, I just want to make a great contribution, so that the Xue family may be able to return to Hedong." ”
Li Ze looked at him with a smile.
"Li Xiang, over the years, although Xue is in Tibet, but through the caravans, he also knows the situation of the Tang Dynasty very well. Later, Xue had fully understood that except for relying on Li Xiang, doing things for Li Xiang in a down-to-earth manner, and striving to atone for his crimes, Xue would never have another chance. ”
Kowtowed his head heavily, and Xue Jun burst into tears: "Xue Mou in this life, I don't want to be able to return to Hedong alive, I only hope that the body can return to the roots after death, I only hope that my children and grandchildren will not be there for years, Li Xiang, Xue Mou now, there is really no dissent." ”
"Get up!" Li Ze waved his hand: "No matter what you had in mind at the beginning, now you can be regarded as doing a real thing." For the Tang people, they have mastered a force that is quite a bit of weight in Tibet. ”
Xue Jun didn't dare to get up, and said: "Li Xiang's theory of the country and the nation, Xue also read it." ”
Li Ze laughed out loud and looked at Xue Jun and said, "Okay, if I want to deal with you, you won't have a chance to see me at all, and the serf army controlled by your Xue clan will be gone for a long time." ”
Looking at Xue Jun's somewhat puzzled gaze, Li Ze turned back to Chen Wenliang on the side and said, "Let him come in!" ”
"Yes!" Chen Wenliang turned around and walked out of the study, but after a while, a big man with a scarred face was introduced.
When he saw the man, Xue Jun jumped up in shock.
"Abdullah!" He cried out.
"You all know each other." Li Ze said lightly: "Xue Jun, do you really think that the internal guards are all vegetarians?" Even though I don't know the details of your behavior in Tibet, I can guess more or less based on the information I have received. Every year, there are two ways for us to support Tibet, one is Xenobud, and the other is you, how many things you go, how many things the other party receives, you trade between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, how many goods you take from us every year, how much profit you make, how much money you can earn, and finally how much you really get in your hands, and in what direction the money flows, do you think we really don't know anything about it? ”
Xue Jun was sweating profusely.
"I don't need to know you at all, I just need to know this information to be able to determine what you have done!" Li Ze sneered. "The reason why I have been ignoring this is that I think it is a good thing."
Xue Jun lowered his head in despair, no matter how careful he was, he still couldn't get out of Li Ze's grasp after all. At the same time, I was also glad in my heart, if I hadn't come back this time, if I hadn't confessed all this, I was afraid that the Xue family would really be doomed in the future.
Abdullah, another important leader of the serf rebel army, even surpassed the rebel army controlled by the Xue clan, he never thought that this person would appear here.
This person is an authentic Tibetan person.
"Abdullah, you just heard that, didn't you?" Li Ze smiled and pointed to a seat next to him, "You can sit down!" ”
An equally burly man who followed Abdullah in whispered a few words in Abdullah's ear, but translated Li Ze's words into Tubo.
Abdullah arched his hand at Li Ze, lifted his robe, and sat down.
"Xue Jun, you can sit too!" Li Ze said to Xue Jun.
Xue Jun wiped his sweat and sat down on the chair on the other side, compared to before, at this time, he couldn't sit down steadily, his butt was half next to the chair, and his upper body was straight.
"Abdullah, these days, you have had a good time with us?" Li Ze asked Abdullah with a smile.
With the help of the translator, Abdullah arched his hand and said: "Thank you Li Xiang, Abdullah is doing well, but he is too comfortable, and his body and bones are itchy." ”
Li Ze laughed: "Abdullah, you are a native of Tubo, but you are also a cheerful person, this time you came to my Datang to ask for help, I think you have also seen the strength of my Datang, I will not hide from you that the ultimate goal of my Li Ze is to incorporate the entire Tubo into my ruling territory." In other words, in the future, the country of Tibet will cease to exist. They will only be part of my Tang territory. If you disagree with that, we don't have anything to talk about. I will send you out of the country and help you get back safely. But in the future, when my army comes, I will not show you any mercy. ”
Abdullah nodded as he listened to the translation. In the end, he said: "Li Xiang, I am a native of Tibet, I am also a slave, my grandfather is a slave, and my father is also a serf. My grandfather was skinned by the nobles, and the human skin was made into a large drum. My father was prey by the nobles, who made them run across the steppe, and they shot him to death with arrows from behind. It's just because my fathers have never given up the dream of rebellion. ”
"It's a pity that reminds you of these tragic pasts." Li Ze sighed.
"I rebelled, not to overthrow the current aristocracy, to be a nobleman myself." Abdullah said: "I just want to be able to live in peace, to live happily, and to die peacefully in bed in the future." ”
He thought for a moment, and then said, "If in the future, my life can be as carefree as your people, free and rich, then I will have no higher luxury. This is not only my idea, but also the idea of my brothers. ”
"A very ordinary idea!" Li Zedao.
"But now, with our own strength, we can't realize this dream at all, whether it's Tocharian or Delhi Chinan, they can't be dealt with by us." Abdullah sighed: "In the beginning, we easily defeated their army, killed their officials, dragged those evil nobles behind our horses and dragged them alive, we felt that we could kill all the nobles who oppressed us, and then make Tibet a place without nobles. But the more they came on, the stronger they became, the weaker we fought, and the fewer people fought. ”
When the serfs revolted, it was the time when Tocharo and Delhi Chinan defeated the Tang Dynasty and lost their strength, and after returning to China, the two of them fought for power, which gave a serf rebel army like Abdullah a chance, but after they relieved themselves, Abdullah, including these serf rebel armies controlled by Xue Jun, immediately couldn't parry.
"Is that all you have to ask?"
"This is the demand of all of us, the demand of all of us who have been bullied and enslaved!" Abdullah said: "If Li Xiang can let us live a life like the Tang people, then from now on, Abdullah will be driven by Li Xiang." ”
Li Ze stood up and stretched out his hand at Abudu: "I promise you, what you get will be more than you expected." ”
