The next day, Yuan Langjun, as usual, entered the imperial city, went to the south of the Yamen, "clocked in on time", and entered the Xia Guanya Gate leisurely. Yuan Hui's performance is very bureaucratic. Sitting behind the official case, he ordered someone to serve tea, and pretended to taste a few sips before he flipped through the official documents on the case.

Xia Guan's four departments, Yuan Hui is in charge of the military department and the staff, and he is also familiar with various affairs, and they are all daily general affairs reports that have been sorted out by some people underneath. Yuan Langjun's efficiency has always been high, and he quickly gave instructions and processed them. Then, Yuan Langjun began to think about things in the government office again. The day of the trip is the most difficult......

"Yuan Gong!" It was noon, and when Yuan Hui stared at the pen in his hand for a while, Xiao Zhizhong came in from outside and brought him back to his senses.

Seeing his hurried footsteps, he noticed an official document in his hand, and came to his senses, Yuan Hui asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Heyuan military report, the civil strife in Tubo has been settled, on Zanpo led more than 1,000 people to cross the border to vote, please play the court, how to deal with it." Xiao Zhizhong presented the official document to Yuan Hui and stated it briefly.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Yuan Langjun immediately came to the spirit, this is a big deal.

After quickly browsing it, he knew it in his heart, got up, straightened his robe, put on his official hat, and said: "This matter is not something we can decide, I will report to the palace immediately!" ”

The civil strife in Tibet has been showing signs since a few years ago. The older Songtsen of Zampu Chidu gets, and the military and political power is in the hands of the Gar brothers, this is an irreconcilable contradiction. In recent years, the expansion of Tibet has been weak, and the crux of this is this.

From the first year of Xianheng (670), to now, there have been nearly 30 years, and the red capital Songzan is about to enter the year of not being confused, and it is not easy to endure until now. The accumulation of contradictions will always break out, and in the spring of this year, the "Zampu Party" in Tibet will take action.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Qinling Tomb was outside, Chidu Songtsan gathered troops to kill more than 2,000 people of the Gar clan in the name of hunting, and quickly took control of the army. After the coup d'état, Lun Qinling was naturally unwilling to be killed, and immediately led his troops to resist.

It's just that Qin Ling has thought too much this time, he has been an assistant for thirty years, and has always controlled the highest power, and in the past thirty years, he has accumulated too many opponents and disobedients.

And on Qinling's age, his prestige is not enough to suppress the country, and it is too difficult to turn the tables when most of the party henchmen are eliminated and Chidu Songtsan occupies the "great righteousness". In the face of the crusade of the Zampu army, it almost collapsed without a fight, and Qinling committed suicide.

The coup d'état in Tibet also announced that since the era of Lu Dongzan, the Gar family, which had controlled the state of Tibet for more than half a century, completely withdrew from the historical stage of Tibet.

On Zanpo is the younger brother of the Lun Qinling, and he is also the second person in the Gar family to the Lun Qinling. On the border between Tibet and the Great Zhou, there is already a Tibetan army on the verge of being ready to move.

Entering the palace city, he went straight to the introspection of Zhongshu, and first asked his boss Yao Yuanchong: "Yao Gong, look at this excerpt." ”

Yao Yuanchong browsed it, his expression couldn't help but be a little moved, his expression was solemn, and he looked at it carefully. The situation here soon alarmed the other ministers in the government hall, and they exchanged opinions on this matter.

"This matter is not up to us, if you are not careful, it may cause a war, so it is better to report it to His Majesty the Emperor and let him make a decision." Wu Sansi looked around and expressed his position first. Since the king and the good people, he has been the history of the school, becoming a veritable pavilion elder, plus the respect of the king of Liang, some of which are indispensable.

Others also agreed, such a major event, of course, to the emperor, subject to the divine judgment. Not long after, another official came to report, and the history of Liangzhou and Shanzhou was reported to the imperial court at the same time, and the content was similar, and it was also about Tibet. The history of Liangzhou Thorn, it is Zeng Tai, Licking Ling is now a Xinjiang minister, and there are people in the court, but it is different.

At the same time, Tubo Zanpu sent an envoy to the court, wanting to let the Great Zhou capture the remnants of the Gar clan and "extradite" them back to China.

The empress had been summoned from the Xifang Courtyard, and her old man was playing games with the Zhang brothers and some of the "boys over flowers" who had just joined the Crane Prison, and the ministers' request to see her obviously affected her mood. However, the prime minister arrived, and Wu also had to temporarily control the ** of playing.

In the Xuanzheng Palace, when he saw Wu again, Yuan Langjun found that the empress's face was a little bad, and she looked like she was overconsumed, but her mental state was good, her strength was abnormal, and the contrast was strong.

There was no comment on the matter of Tubo, but Wu looked at Yuan Hui at the back of the position, and looked at him coldly: "Yuan Hui, are you guilty?" ”

Yuan Langjun stood back in a low-key manner, but he didn't expect the empress's mouth to be "asking for guilt" to herself, and her heart trembled slightly. The brain turned rapidly, what does the emperor mean by this, and asks what is the crime?

Probably because he did too many things to be a traitor, Yuan Langjun couldn't lock down what the emperor was referring to for a while. Still thinking about it closely, his body trembled, and the rumor between Wu should not refer to it and Li Bao'er.

After a little judgment, I also felt that it was impossible, after all, it was impossible for the empress to bring such a thing to the political palace and say it in front of the ministers.

His mind turned quickly, and Yuan Langjun's face was as quiet as possible, and he lowered his eyebrows and asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty is referring to?" ”

"Jiangzhou, do you want me to remind you?" Seeing this, Wu said sharply.

"Huh?" Yuan Langjun was really confused now, he really didn't understand what Jiangzhou could have to do with him. However, Yuan Hui's mind turned quickly, Di Renjie was still recuperating in Jiangzhou, could it be that the old fox had done something there and implicated him.

With a pair of innocent eyes, he glanced at the empress. Seeing this, Wu Ye couldn't help but wonder a little, turned over slightly, raised his finger and gestured to Wu Sansi: "King Liang, tell him about it." ”

"Yes!" Respectfully saluting, the corners of Wu Sansi's mouth curled, and he squinted at Yuan Langjun, with some sinister in his eyes.

Things are not much different from what Yuan Langjun guessed. Di Fat and Li Yuanfang and his entourage were recuperating in Jiangzhou, but this fat old man was not at ease anywhere. In half a year, I have thoroughly explored the local situation. Just like the old script, not long ago, the evil side "Pingnanhou" Xue Qinglan was removed.

The details do not need to be narrated, unlike the old script, Yuan Langjun still has hundreds of emperor's food estates in Jiangzhou. And the steward who was sent there actually hooked up with Xue Qinglan, and used his banner of "Xun Guogong" to do evil, run rampant, disregard people's lives, and encroach on people's land...... Then one was taken down by Di Renjie, Fufa!

After hearing this, Yuan Hui was angry and murderous in his heart, he had never expected such a thing. did not defend himself, Yuan Langjun simply pleaded guilty: "The ministers are not strict, and they don't know people, which leads to rampant villains and scourges the people." Please punish Your Majesty, and the minister will never complain. ”

"Heh, what do you think, how should this matter be handled?" The empress regained her smile and asked.

The ministers below are silent. People like Su Wei will never express their opinions, and smart people can feel the ambiguity between the emperor's attitudes, if they really want to be dealt with seriously, why wait until now? It seems that such things are just common things among the powerful, but they can be big or small, and how to distinguish them is all in the thought of the king.

"Your Majesty, although Yuan Hui is the emperor's family, he has connived at domestic slaves, deceived the good and promoted the evil, lost the hearts of the people, and has been disgraced by the court. If you don't punish it severely, I'm afraid that the people won't accept it! Seeing that the others didn't speak, Wu Sansi couldn't bear it, so he rolled up his sleeves and went up in person. Over the years, he King Liang has eaten deflated at Yuan Langjun's place, not once or twice, and he directly tore his face without any scruples.

Glancing at Wu Sansi coldly, the emperor was noncommittal, the older this person is, the more indecent the sacred heart is. Wu Luozuo said in a deep voice: "All the food and yi are recovered, and all the output over the years will be doubled and compensated to the local people." In addition, a fine of one year! ”

It can be seen that the emperor's decision is obviously taken lightly. However, this time, Yuan Langjun threw his face directly on the Xuanzheng Palace.

Honestly thankful, Yuan Hui has no complaints. However, the ruthless mentality began to spread. A dog under his hand, under his banner outside, is at ease, acting nonsense, and let him pay the blame after the incident, where can Yuan Langjun balance in his heart. This matter is not over, and when he lowered his head, Yuan Langjun's eyes were a little "evil".

"What is your opinion on the matter of Zanpo? The Tibetan envoy was still on the way to Beijing, "punished Yuan Hui a little, and the empress did not hurry to discuss the matter."

At the mention of this, the atmosphere in the temple returned to prudence. It was Wu Sansi who spoke: "Your Majesty, after all, Zampo is now a traitor of the Tubo State, and if it is not handled properly, it is likely to cause a war between the two countries, so you must be cautious!" ”

"What do you think?" Wu Mian looked at him expressionlessly.

I really couldn't understand the empress's thoughts, and she was a little uncomfortable, so Wu Sansi could only bite the bullet and say: "In the humble opinion of the ministers, Mo Ruo will capture all the remnants of the Gar clan and hand them over to the Tubo people, so as not to cause contradictions between the two countries." ”

If the court is divided into hawks and doves, Wu Sansi is obviously a "pigeon", and the main coward. The empress was obviously dissatisfied with his opinion, how could her great Zhou Dynasty and the great power of the Heavenly Dynasty be so intimidated by the barbarian country.

Without commenting on his opinion, Wu looked at Yao Yuanchong: "Chief Soldier Xia, what do you think?" ”

"After this change, the civil strife in Tibet has ended, and how dare it start a war lightly. Compared with Tibet, the imperial court needed to guard against the Turks, and silently established his son Tuoxi Khan, and the people moved westward, and the ambition was revealed. Yao Yuanchong obviously had already drafted, and without thinking, he led the matter to the Turkic side: "The imperial court, you should guard against it." ”

Wu nodded at Yao Yuanchong's words, and then asked Wei Yuanzhong, the waiter of the Fengge: "Yuanzhong, you have always been wise, what do you think?" ”

Wei Yuanzhong is an "old revolutionary" around Wu, he is capable, and he solved many problems for the empress at the beginning, moved the capital and Pingyangzhou...... Although it has gone through ups and downs several times, it always has a sacred heart, and every time he returns to the court, he always occupies a high position.

Hearing the question, Wei Yuanzhong replied with a salute: "Tubo is very ambitious, does not know etiquette, and does not keep promises. In the past few decades, he has repeatedly violated our borders and killed our people. For my side, for decades. On Zanpo and his party, whether they accept it or not, they can't change the threat of Tibet to our dynasty. Lu Dongzan's father and son have two generations, both of whom are talented, and they are rampant in Tibet. On Zanpo, in my country back then, she was also like a wolf and a jackal. Now, now that he has returned, there is no one to be afraid of in Tibet! ”

Wei Yuanzhong's opinion is already obvious, and the Lord accepts it. And obviously it also said that the empress's heart was in trouble, and the brothers of Qinling and Zanpo caused a great threat to the Great Zhou back then, and were once regarded as a great enemy by the emperor.

And now, the enemies of the year came to attach themselves and surrender and worship, which would greatly satisfy the emperor's vanity.

asked the others again, but the martial spirit was already lacking in interest, obviously, her old man had already made a decision in her heart.

"Yuan Hui, tell me about it!" Seeing Yuan Langjun who was burying his head there and "thinking", Wu suddenly asked him again.

When everyone's eyes were focused on him, Yuan Langjun was not much uncomfortable, and directly said: "There are often Tubo attacking our borders and plundering my people. Zanpo and others can be guides! ”

Yuan Langjun's words were a little uplifting, and the empress laughed twice, sweeping all over the ministers: "Princess, my son-in-law, is his ambition commendable?" ”

This decision was made, and Wu Sansi was not allowed to refute it at all, and the Lord accepted it.

"Let the Heyuan Army send someone to meet Ronzanpo and temporarily settle in Shanzhou. Hmm, the envoy of Tubo, let him come to Luoyang, don't spoil the bearing of my Celestial Empire! Wu commanded.

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty, just in case, please also strengthen the security of Longyou. If there is an accident and there is a war, the court will not be in a hurry! It's still Yao Yuanchong, who reminded him.

This is the second time, Wu finally took it to heart and thought for a moment: "Qingzhi's worries are far-reaching and reasonable, Longxi military, who should be commissioned?" ”

When she said this, the empress's eyes glanced at Yuan Langjun.
