Lingzhou, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Stanley hung his head and was silent. His mind flashed, weighing the pros and cons.

As Zhang Xuan said, this is his last chance. If Trisong Detsen and his relatives successfully return to Tibet, their prestige will be higher, and the obstacles to inheriting the throne will be smaller, once Trisong Detsen becomes the king of Tubo...... The fate that awaits Stanley will be extremely miserable.

The relationship between people has always been bad,-for-tat, and fighting for the throne is originally a matter of life and death if you become a king or lose.

After a long time, he suddenly looked up at Zhang Xuan, and said indifferently, "I don't know why the metropolitan governor wants to help Stanley?" I don't know why the Metropolitan Governor hates my brother so much? This king can't figure it out. ”

"Does Prince Stanley really want to listen? There are two reasons for this. ”

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, "First, the official strongly opposes harmony, when he was in Chang'an, the official once admonished the imperial court in person, because harmony will increase the national strength of Tubo, and it will be detrimental to the majesty of our Celestial Empire. ”

, "Princess Wanchun's friendly team carries a lot of wealth, grain, grass and craftsmen, I am afraid that in the eyes of Chisong Dezan, Her Royal Highness Princess Wanchun of the Tang Dynasty is far less valuable than these dowry materials." ”

"Second, Tri Song Detsen is a rare hero in the world, and his strategy, courage and courage are superior to others. If Trisong Dezan is allowed to ascend to the throne of Tibet, he will definitely lead Tibet to become strong, and the strength of Tibet will undoubtedly pose a huge threat to our Tang Dynasty. ”

"So, this official wants to get rid of Trisong Detsen. And compared with his brother, Prince Stanley, hehe. Zhang Xuan's words were said here, and he was silent.

But what he was going to say next, Stanley couldn't understand.

Stanley's face turned red, he glared at Zhang Xuan angrily, and said coldly, "The Metropolitan Governor is laughing at Stanley, who is far inferior to Trisong Dezan, but is an incompetent person?" ”

The corners of Zhang Xuan's mouth twitched, and he smiled indifferently, "This official really doesn't like what he says, but this is what this official is talking about. Since Prince Stanley wants to listen to the reason, the official will tell him bluntly. To be honest, it doesn't matter if the official looks down on or looks down on Prince Stanley, the important thing is that Prince Stanley can get the throne because of this. ”

"If Prince Stanley ascends to the throne of Tubo and can exert himself to try to occupy the territory of my Tang Dynasty, then this official is also very welcome." This official is in Longshuo, waiting for Prince Stanley to lead the army at any time" Zhang Xuan's voice was sarcastic, his voice was not high, but his voice pierced into Stanley's ear, making him ashamed and indignant.

, "You" Stanley Huo Ran got up, but immediately concealed his anger and sat down slowly.

"What the Metropolitan Governor said is very true, this king is indeed inferior to the king's brother. However, this king does not think that I will be much worse than Trisong Detsen.

Whether this king is a faint monarch or a capable lord has little to do with the Metropolitan Governor, and this King only has faith in the words of the Metropolitan Governor. ”

"This is a major matter, please allow Stanley to think about it for a few days. If Stanley does not come to meet the Metropolitan Governor, he will return to Tubo to prepare for an incident, and a month later, "this king will lead 50,000 Tibetan iron horsemen to meet the Dadu Governor in Qinghai, so that the Metropolitan Governor can see if this king is really incompetent!" ”

Stanley Huo Ran got up, arched his hand and said, "Farewell!" ”

After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

"The official does not send" the prince to go. Zhang Xuan got up and gave up his hand indifferently.

Zhang Xuan looked at Stanley's angry back and couldn't help laughing.

He just wants to lead the king into the urn, this is a yang plot instead of a yīn scheme, Prince Stanley knows that Zhang Xuan has intentions, but he still can't help but jump in.

If he didn't guess wrong, Stanley would definitely leave Lingzhou immediately and would not be any Wang in Datang. The reason is very simple, his identity has been leaked, and he, as the prince of Tubo, cannot stay in Lingzhou to be slaughtered by others no matter what.

He didn't dare to take such a risk.

In Stanley's view, what Zhang Xuan just talked about contained a certain threat from beginning to end.

If Stanley's long-term stay in Lingzhou, Zhang Xuan will attack him÷ Prince Fan has trespassed into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and once he takes it, there will be no way to live.

But how could Zhang Xuan move him∨ Xuan also wanted to use Stanley to kick off a big drama. Without this Tibetan prince Stanley, this scene could not be performed.

This Tibetan prince was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. He looks ruthless and impulsive, but in fact, the city is very deep.

Zhang Xuan knew that what really moved Stanley was nothing else, but his unswerving attitude of getting rid of Trisong Detsen.

At least at this point, the two still have a common goal.

As long as Chisong Dezan stays in the Tang Dynasty and does not return, he has a way to inherit the throne of Tubo. He had been planning and waiting for many years for this.

And this time, Trisong Dezan went to Datang to seek peace and affection, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Stanley. And this is the key to Zhang Xuan sending someone to contact, and he immediately changed his clothes and rushed to Lingzhou. In order to get rid of Trisong Detsen, he has already done whatever it takes, and is ready to break the boat.

In fact, this time Tang and Tibet made peace, and he was ready to lead the army to attack and harass the Tang and Tibet borders, causing a war between the two countries and disrupting the peace and affinity. It would be best if he could take advantage of the chaos and kill Tri Song Dezan.

However, what Zhang Xuan didn't expect was that this time not only Prince Stanley came in person, but even Dong Zebu, the minister of Tubo power, also came, disguised as Stanley's entourage, and was waiting outside the gate of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion at the moment.

Stanzhu got out of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, turned over his horse, and beckoned Dong Zebu and the others to hurry out of the city with a calm face.

was speechless all the way, and when he got out of the city, Dong Zebu briefly learned about the situation from Stanley.

, "Second Prince, this person's words are half-truths and half-falsehoods, you must not believe it, and you should not believe it." Dong Zebu muttered on the horse, "This person has a thorough analysis of the situation in our country, and he also knows a lot about the situation of you and me in Tubo, it seems that he has been planning for a long time. ”

"This person is really hateful, he has ill intentions, and intends to provoke us to rebel, so that the Tang Dynasty will fall into the well and make this king angry." Stanley remembered Zhang Xuan's words mocking him for not being as good as Trisong Dezan, and his face instantly became extremely blue.

In this life, abandoning Song Detsen has almost become his nightmare.

Whether it was prestige, talent, and power, Trisong Detsen, the elder brother, was above him and suppressed him to the death. From childhood to adulthood, more than 20 years of jealousy gradually accumulated, and an almost pathological hatred has long been formed.

"The Tang people must have ill intentions, there is no doubt about it. However, Second Prince, what he said also has some truth, now is the best time for you to start an incident, if you wait for Trisong Dezan to return to Luoqi City, our efforts over the years will be in vain in an instant. "If you want the throne, you have to take a risk." Dong Zebu waved his hand fiercely, "We led the troops to start an incident, if he really cooperated with us, then he would push the boat along the way, if he was hypocritical."

Dong Zebu gritted his teeth and said, "Then we will take advantage of the situation to return to the army, lead the Tang soldiers to invade the territory of Tubo, and then take advantage of the civil strife in Tubo, I will wait for the city to wave in the shortest possible time, and take the throne first!" ”

"As long as Trisong Detsen dies, there is nothing to fear in our civil strife. As long as the second prince sits firmly on the throne, I will wait for Xu Xu Tuzhi, and everything will be fine. Dong Zebu lowered his voice and said, "I will control the situation in Luo Some City, you quickly go to Tuguhun to gather troops and horses, as Zhang Xuan said, Yue Chiling feints to attack Qinghai!" ”

"Our army comes and goes freely, even if Zhang Xuan has any tricks, he can calmly withdraw to Chiling, and when I have a proper arrangement in Luoqi City, you will wave your army south to reach Luoqi City, you and my uncle and nephew cooperate, and the throne did not run!" ”

, "Three percent of domestic soldiers and horses are on the front line of Hezhou to prepare to meet Chisong Dezan, you are attacking in Qingyao, and the Tang Dynasty's troops will be extremely dispersed if they are contained, so don't be afraid!" Stanley hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Okay, that's it." Uncle, this king ascends the throne, my uncle's family will be my hero, I will make Linglang the queen, Tuyuhun hometown is thousands of miles round, and it will be assigned to my uncle's family as a pasture. "Linglang is Dong Zebu's youngest daughter, Stanley was originally Dong Zebu's nephew, if he marries Dong Zebu's daughter again, he will be close to each other and become his uncle and nephew, and the relationship will be closer.

Dong Zebu smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Thank you so much, the second prince is generous." You and my uncle's nephew,

There will be the friendship of Weng and son-in-law, what is the difference between each other? I, the East Zebu family, swear allegiance to the second prince, and I have no heart, so please rest assured that the second prince is. ”

Regarding Dong Zebu's loyalty, Stanley has no doubts.

Because Tri Song Detsen is the son of Princess Jincheng of the Tang Dynasty, once Tri Song Detsen inherits the throne, the status of Stanley's mother and son is in jeopardy. And once the power of Stanley's mother dàng is gone, the Dong Zebu family will lose its backers, and its wealth and power will not be guaranteed.

After Trisong Detsen came to power, there is no doubt that the first minister to deal with was Dong Zebu. Therefore, the Dong Zebu family and Stanley are grasshoppers on a rope, one is prosperous and the other is lost, and whoever succeeds will be unlucky and will be affected.

Zhang Xuan sat quietly in the handsome hall, and Nanwuyun hurriedly came to report, "Dadu Governor, those Tubo people have gone out of the city and headed for the direction of Qinghai in Buzhou. ”

Zhang Xuan laughed out loud, "Sure enough, it's a good luck." Nanba, quickly pass the military order of the marshal, the marshal wants to be promoted to the court to discuss the matter, and Guo Ziyi, Zhang Xuan, Li Guangbi and other generals come quickly! ”

"Yes, the last will obey." Nan Wuyun took the order and left.

Half an hour later, Guo Ziyi and the others will be neatly draped and enter the handsome hall to meet them.

, "Ladies and gentlemen, this commander has to be repaid, the Tubo people are trying to take advantage of the stupid yù move on the occasion of Tang Bo and his relatives, and are ready to gather troops and horses to invade the western border of the Tang Dynasty and Longshuo River in two ways.

Zhang Xuan said this, paused for a moment, and stared at everyone.

Guo Ziyi and the others' faces changed, and they looked at each other The ♀ Tubo people have not moved for a long time, why did they suddenly move again? Where did the news come from? Could it be a military report from Hexi Ge Shuhan?

But despite his suspicions, no one dared to raise objections.

Only Zhang Xuan faintly knew Zhang Xuan's thoughts, and he had already made mental preparations∨ Xuan was going to plan to destroy Tang Fan's relationship sooner or later, and I am afraid that this is the reason for convening the generals to discuss the matter.
