Chapter 808: An Unsettling Atmosphere

Since the news of Songtsen's detention was kept in strict secrecy, Songtsen Ganbu did not send anyone out of Li Daozong's estate during this period, and he knew nothing about the rescue operation in advance.

At the time of the incident, some of the guards around Songtsen Ganbu also wanted to take the opportunity to pick up the Tubo people outside, but they were stopped by Songtsam Gabbu in time, so they did not participate in the incident. Moreover, under the strict orders of Songtsen Gampo, even the courtyard where they lived did not come out, and even the guards who were active outside the courtyard were all withdrawn into the courtyard.

Songtsen Ganbu is not a simple character, and at the moment of the incident, he quickly analyzed and judged the consequences of the incident.

He thinks there are two possibilities for this to happen:

First, it was the envoy of the Tibetan Mission, Kezeng, and others who learned of their detention and spontaneously organized a rescue operation when they could not get in touch with them. Or the action taken after being instigated.

Second, some people pretended to be the Tibetan envoys to deliberately sow discord between the Tang Dynasty and the Tibetan Dynasty, and deliberately took the action.

Songtsen Ganbu believes that he is in the hinterland of Chang'an, and no matter what kind of action he takes, there is no point. Even if he can get out of Chang'an, it is impossible to get out of the territory of the Tang Dynasty with such a large depth. Therefore, he resolutely exercised restraint and did not participate in this operation.

Something happened, and the consequences were very serious:

This incident will definitely anger the Tang Dynasty monarchs and people, increase their hostility towards Tusbo and Songtsan Ganbu himself, especially in this incident, which caused the death of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple and many casualties of the Flying Tiger Army soldiers, and may cause the Tang Dynasty government and people to carry out large-scale revenge on the Tusbo people living in the Tang Dynasty.

What he was most worried about was because this incident would have a bad impact on the missions of various countries in Chang'an, and it would cause them to panic, if this incident affected the celebration ceremony of Li Shimin's victory in the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, and the future ceremony of Taishan Feng Chan, Li Shimin would definitely hold a grudge against himself. If that is the case, the chances of him Songtsam Ganbu leaving Chang'an alive are almost zero.

Songtsen Ganbu knew the seriousness of the matter, but he was unable to do anything about it, so he fell into deep concern. During this time, he actually developed a deep dependence on the sinister and cunning Li You, and hoped that he would rush back as soon as possible to help him get out of danger.

At this moment, when he heard that Xiao Wanyu, the princess of the northwest, was coming, he also hurried to the gate of the courtyard to greet him.

In the living room, Xiao Wanyu said: "Zampu, I was entrusted by the prince of my family to understand the situation from you, please provide the real situation truthfully." ”

Songtsam Gabbu truthfully explained to Xiao Wanyu, assured that he did not know anything about the incident, and he also analyzed the cause of the incident and told Xiao Wanyu.

Xiao Wanyu said: "Zampu, what you said is basically the same as what my prince said. My lord believes in your personality and believes that this matter was not instructed by you. ”

Songtsen Ganbu was really moved in his heart when he heard such warm words, and he said from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you for your trust, Your Royal Highness the King of the Northwest. ”

Xiao Wanyu said: "This matter has a great impact, and if it is not handled properly, it will definitely cause an uproar." My lord has sent a telegram to His Royal Highness the Prison State, and His Royal Highness the Prison State has agreed to strictly block the news and send the Flying Tiger Army to strengthen the protection of Zampu.

Not long ago, I went to the mansion of the Flying Tiger Army and the Shaoqing Gao of Honglu Temple, and issued a high pension to the dead and wounded, so that no one would take advantage of this matter to make a fuss and seek revenge against Zampu and the Tusbo people in Chang'an......"

Xiao Wanyu told Songtsan Ganbu one by one about what Li You had explained and the measures that had been taken.

"There are so many Tubo people involved in this attack that it is impossible to keep it a secret for a long time," she said. Therefore, some positive measures must be taken to prevent the situation from deteriorating. ”

Songtsan Ganbu was really moved, he was very fortunate to meet such an empathetic and influential Tang prince as Li You, otherwise, he would definitely die.

Songtsen Ganbu took the initiative to say, "Is there anything I need to cooperate with?" ”

Xiao Wanyu took out the telegram that Li You had sent to Songtsam Ganbu and handed it to him. After reading it, Songtsen Ganbu said decisively: "Okay, I agree on what to do." ”

After speaking, he took pen and paper and wrote several articles himself.

After discussing some specific issues with Xiao Wanyu, Songtsan Ganbu said: "Please thank Your Royal Highness the princess for me, please rest assured that I will definitely keep my promise as agreed." ”

Li Daozong and Li Xueyan, who were on the side, also expressed their gratitude to Xiao Wanyu and asked her to convey it to Li You.

Xiao Wanyu finished what she needed to do and immediately returned to Chang'an.

The next morning, Wei Zheng, Yan Liben, Wei Chigong and Gao Jingming were summoned to the Liangyi Palace. Since this incident happened in Li Daozong's manor in Chang'an, and the time of the incident occurred in the early hours of the morning, the people in Chang'an City did not know it for the time being.

When Li Chengqian told them what had happened, everyone was shocked.

Li Chengqian did not give them time to express his feelings, and he directly ordered the formation of an organization, with Wei Zheng as the main person in charge, to be responsible for handling matters related to this matter.

Li Chengqian gave them several tasks:

As far as possible, secretly arrest the Tubo people involved in the attack, temporarily seize their property in Chang'an, and in the process of arrest, unless they encounter fierce resistance, try not to kill or kill as little as possible.

Investigate the truth about this attack.

The household department cooperated with the investigation of the situation of the Tu S people in the Great Wall and the surrounding areas, Jin Wuwei was responsible for monitoring their movements, and the government at all levels did a good job of pacifying them, and all the seized Tu S people's properties could be dealt with by the Hu Ministry, but they must also be sold or subleased to the Tu S people, so as not to affect the business relations between the Tu S and the Tang Dynasty as much as possible.

There was no impermeable wall, and despite Li Chengqian's strict secrecy measures, Songtsen Ganbu remained in Chang'an, and the news of the bloodshed still leaked out, and the government and the opposition in Chang'an City were boiling for a while, which also caused great fluctuations in the embassies of various countries.

Early Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

At the beginning of the early dynasty, there was an unsettling atmosphere of restlessness. The ministers were shocked and disturbed by the bloodshed that had taken place at Li Daozong's estate.

However, as for the affairs of the foreign countries, everyone knew that Li You, the king of the northwest, was in charge, and out of trust in him, no one raised any doubts.

No one impeached Li You, the king of the northwest, this imperial history platform has maintained a tradition for many years, and no one dares to break it. However, as a minister of the imperial court, if you don't understand such a major event, everyone is very depressed.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other important ministers of the DPRK and the central government are also very uncomfortable in their hearts, because they are figures in the core decision-making circle of the Tang Dynasty, and the major affairs of the DPRK and the central government have bypassed them, and they have a feeling of being neglected in their hearts.

Over the years, especially recently, they have hardly known anything about border affairs, the strategy and tactics of the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, and the gathering of foreign missions in Chang'an, not to mention the affairs of distant countries such as the Japanese slave country and the Great Food Empire.

In the past many years, Li Shimin has almost never hidden anything from his eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, but in recent years, Li Shimin has not consulted them on many things, and Li You and Li Chengqian have kept them strictly secret.

Take the matter of Taishan Fengzen as an example, Li You mobilized funds from the household department, and the eldest grandson Wuji, who was the top boss of the household department, did not know about it. The Flying Tiger Army was mobilized to Mount Tai to build the two altars of heaven and earth, and Fang Xuanling, as the top boss of the military department, had no right to intervene.

As the prime minister of a country, it is normal for them to be unbalanced.

Yin Hongzhi had long been aware of the dissatisfaction of the ministers of the DPRK and China with Li You, and he also persuaded Li You, but Li You thought that these things were not familiar to other people, and asked for their opinions, and nothing could be done with nonsense, so he continued to do his own thing.

Li You's attitude gradually became a little alienated from everyone.

The things in the world do not depend on whether you do it right, nor on whether you have made as many contributions to the country and the people, but whether you can be recognized by everyone. Li You is really in danger if he goes on like this.

In this bloodshed, if Li You can't give everyone a reasonable explanation, everyone's dissatisfaction is likely to erupt.

Yin Hongzhi was secretly anxious for Li You in his heart.

Everyone looked at Li Chengqian, hoping that he could say something to solve everyone's doubts.
