Chapter 918: Please give the princess a son-in-law
Since the conquest of Subi, Nanri Lunzan's prestige in Tibet has also reached a peak that his fathers and ancestors have not reached, and the ministers have honored him, praising him for being higher than the sky and his helmet stronger than the mountains.
Therefore, when he decided to send troops to Tuyuhun, the faction that was still opposed before was silent.
Since it was decided to fight, what to discuss at the imperial meeting was how to fight and who to let lead the troops.
At this time, Nanri Lunzan was surrounded by new nobles who he rewarded vigorously after he succeeded to the throne and conquered the tribes, such as Qiongbang Bose, who killed the king of Houzang and led a population of 20,000 households and the entire Houzang to annex, and the Niang clan who was the internal response in the process of destroying Subi.
As well as the Wei, Nong, and Cai Bang clans, who made great contributions in this campaign, they have all received a large number of rewards, and have many fiefs and populations, such as Qiongbang Boyi, who has a population and region of 20,000 households in the entire Houzang.
These new nobles are not the old nobles of the previous generation in Tibet, but with such and such merits, they have been greatly rewarded by Nanri Lunzan, so they also fully support this Zampu.
Qiong Bo and the others all wanted to compete for the right to command the army, thinking that Tu Guhun did not need Zampu to come forward in person.
After all, this time it was the Tuyuhun State Minister who came to ask for help, so they sent troops this time to first pass under the banner of helping Tuyuhun to quell the rebellion, and after annihilating Murong Shun, who was supported by the Central Plains, they would find a way to support a new khan who listened to Tubo's words, or directly support the Tianzhu King to succeed to the throne.
and then provoked the Tuyuhun civil strife, just like they subverted Subi back then, and then Tuyuhun was also overthrown.
The nouveau riche argued, and at this time, the little-known young aristocratic monk Guo Miqin volunteered, saying that he did not need a knife to kill chickens, and he was willing to serve as a general to lead the army to Tuyuhun.
When you hear it, how old are you?
"Have you ever been a general before, I heard that powerful people are like an awl in a bag, and the edge will appear, but you have been doing this petty official for many years now, and you haven't done anything decent, so what face do you have to be ashamed of here?"
Although this monk Michin has a low position, his official position is similar to that of Zampu's close ministers, and in the face of the ridicule of the great nobles, he retorted fearlessly, "It is true that everyone has not praised me before, but that is because I have no chance to perform, and now as long as I am given this opportunity, let alone the edge, even if it is the cone handle, I can show it to you." ”
After hearing this, Nanri Lunzan laughed and stretched out his hand to stop Qiongpo Bangse.
"Sangha Michin has a commendable courage, and he has been by my side for a long time, and I know him very well, and he is indeed a capable person, but he lacks the opportunity to perform. Since this is the case, then I will give you a chance, give you 20,000 soldiers and horses, and you will go north with the King of Tianzhu to Tuyuhun! ”
The monk Michin was extremely excited and knelt down to receive the order.
Joan Bobon's face was extremely ugly, and he didn't understand why such an important task had to be handed over to a hairy young man.
But Nanri Lunzan also has his own plans, and he will reward Qiongpo Bangse before and after, which is also to stabilize this newly attached land as soon as possible and avoid regeneration and chaos.
But Jombo Bongse's strength is still too strong, and he has to guard against it.
In particular, after he succeeded to the throne, he reused a large number of subordinate ministers of Subi and Houzang, which made the old Tibetan nobles also very dissatisfied, and even the lord of the small eastern state Bota was already very complaining, and this small state was the tribe of the fish-loving concubine that his grandfather Zhong Nian Deru married.
Such relatives are not satisfied, and Nanri Lunzan has to take it to heart.
Of course, for a great lord like Jompo Bangse, Nanri Lunzan still needs to be appeased.
He thought for a while, "We have to be prepared with both hands, on the one hand, we will send troops into Tuyuhun, and on the other hand, we will also have to contact the Central Plains." I plan to send an important minister to the Central Plains to represent me as an envoy to the Qin State, to ask the Emperor of the Qin State in the Central Plains to marry a princess. ”
In the past, Tibet was just a small agricultural state in the south of the plateau and mountains, so they had also heard that their neighbor to the north, Subi, had asked for canonization in the Central Plains. I also heard that the Tuyuhun Kingdom further north was able to marry the princess of the Han family in the Central Plains.
But in the past, they only had envy, and they did not have the qualifications to ask the Central Plains for marriage and affinity canonization.
But now, Nanri Lunzan feels that his strength is already very strong, and he has been invincible on the plateau, they want grain, salt, and cattle and horses, and the Tubo cavalry is extremely elite, and the Central Plains has to give themselves a face.
And if you can get the affinity and canonization of the Central Plains, then maybe the capture of Tuyuhun will be smoother.
"Bring 1,000 oxen, 500 Tibetan horses, and some jade and gold to the Son of Heaven. Tell the Son of Heaven of Great Qin, I, Tubo Zanpu Nanri Lunzan, am willing to marry the Son of Heaven of Great Qin as a son-in-law, and declare a good marriage to become the country of Wengxu, maintain it when the year is old, and live in harmony for a long time. ”
Qiong Bobang said, "The Central Plains is not in civil strife, and the Qin State may not be able to dominate the Central Plains, so it is better to send them so many cattle, horses, gold and jade, it is better to ask the south to marry the princess of Nibora to stabilize the south." ”
Nibora is in the south of the Himalayas, although the country is not big, but the strength is not weak. For Tibet, Nibora is obviously closer, and it is better to have a good relationship than the Great Qin of Middle Earth, which is thousands of miles away.
But Lun Ri Nanzan said that he admired the culture of the Central Plains for a long time, and had heard of the strength of the Han family in the Central Plains, and now although there is civil strife, since we plan to seize the place of Tuyuhun, then we will have to deal with the Han family sooner or later. So if you can get along, it's the best.
Nanri Lunzan also personally wrote a letter to Luo Cheng, the son of Great Qin, saying that he admired the culture of the Central Plains and admired the majesty of the Great Qin Emperor.
After waiting for more than ten days, after being irritable over and over again, the Heavenly Pillar King finally saw the eagle on the plateau, Nanri Lunzan.
He finally got a positive answer, and to his surprise, Tubo was willing to send 20,000 soldiers and horses north to follow him back to Tuyuhun to defeat Murong Shun.
The king of Tianzhu was overjoyed, he thought it would be good to borrow three or five thousand horses, but he didn't expect the king of Tubo to be so generous and bold, and he was 20,000 horses as soon as he made a move.
If the crown prince Murong Ke borrowed another reinforcement from the Western Turkic Khan, the rebellion would be victorious.
King Tianzhu secretly hoped in his heart, hoping that his son-in-law Murong Ke, who went to the Western Turkic royal court of Guici Sanmi Mountain to ask for help, could also borrow soldiers smoothly.
"I don't know how to appreciate the king's generosity and righteousness." The King of the Heavenly Pillar faced the young Zampu and had to bow down in gratitude.
"You don't have to be so polite, Ben Zampu is the most anxious and righteous in his life, our two families were neighbors, and now your family has something to ask for, how can I sit idly by."
