Chapter 448: The Emperor's Heart Is Too Big!

Chapter 448: The Emperor's Heart Is Too Big!

Zhuoma hurriedly returned to the "palace" where the emperor was temporarily stationed, and closed the door when he entered his small courtyard. (Below. Carry. F)

Captain Feng arrested the four "Bo" merchants into Nan Jiyun's general's mansion, and Nan Jiyun learned that these four people had offended the Tibetan concubine, and he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly communicated to the emperor.

Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that Nan Jiyun will deal with it, there is no need to alarm the emperor, and there is no need for Zhang Xuan to ask in person. Just heard that it was a "Bo" merchant, Zhang Xuan immediately moved his heart and sent someone to bring these four people over, saying that he wanted to interrogate them in person.

Mansur and the other four were escorted in desperate and frightened, kneeling under Zhang Xuan's table with a pop, and fell to the ground with trembling shoulders.

They were just ordinary "Both" merchants, who traveled back and forth between the Central Plains and the land of "Both", and made a profit by bartering goods. Unexpectedly, a few words inadvertently offended the emperor's Tibetan concubine, causing a senseless killing disaster.

And the emperor wants to interrogate him personally - this means that they are more auspicious this time, and if they don't do it, they will die in Jiuquan and fall in this land of Liangzhou.

Zhang Xuan got up slowly, and he looked down at the four "Bosi" people who were prostrate at his feet.

After a long time, he said indifferently, "You may understand Chinese?" ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the villain Mansur, the villain can understand Chinese...... The villain offended the Tibetan concubine Niangniang, the crime deserves death, begging His Majesty the Emperor to spare his life! "Mansur and the others traveled back and forth between Bosi and the Central Plains, naturally they were 'fine' and fluent in Chinese, and when they saw the emperor asking, they didn't seem to be as angry as they imagined, and they couldn't help but feel a little bit alive.

"Your Majesty spares your life!" The other three Bosi also prostrated themselves and begged for mercy.

"Do not panic, I will not kill you. However, if you open your mouth to insult my concubine, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped-Nanba, take it down and give me a cane to punish 20 in a while, as a light punishment. ”

Zhang Xuan said slowly and logically.

"Thank you Your Majesty for not killing, the villain can't be repaid......" Hearing that the emperor did not kill, Mansur was overjoyed, kneeling on the ground and shouting "excited".

"Okay, don't shout, I said that if I don't kill you, I won't kill you∞ I have a few words to ask you, you have to answer truthfully, if half of the sentence is untrue, don't blame the king for being ruthless!"

"Mansour, you answer." Zhang Xuan sat back slowly, and said lightly, "You are from 'Bo's - of course, 'Bo's has been destroyed by the black-clothed Great Eclipse, and now you are barely a big cannibal, I came to ask you, is the Great Cannibal intending to invade my Chinese land eastward?" ”

"Are the current Tocharian, Turkish, and even Zhaowu nine kingdoms all controlled by the Great Cannibal? What about the troops? What is the surname of the big cannibal general who guards the green ridge...... Let's talk about them one by one. ”

When Mansur heard this, he fixed his mind and said with a respectful smile, "Your Majesty, Mansur has been going back and forth between 'Bo' and the Chinese Shangbang for many years, and he is not hesitant about the countries above the Green Mountains and the Great Food Fiefdom, and the villain is willing to answer any questions of His Majesty......"

Before Mansur's words were finished, he was interrupted by Nan Jiyun with a cold snort, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and answer Your Majesty's words!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Mansur laughed again and again, "Your Majesty, since the defeat of Gao Xianzhi's army at the Talas in the past year, Da Shi has sent tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to the Green Ridge River Valley, and most of them are stationed on the line of Samarkand, Anguo, and Tocharo in Kangguo. ”

"And the villain heard that the Great Bolu King has submitted to the Great Eclipse Khan has also recently become an ally with the Great Cannibal, and the Great Eclipse Caliph Mahdi has also married the Saiyan princess to the Sakuru Khan as the Khatun ......"

"The countries of the Green Mountains are mostly attached to the Great Food, and the Tuqi Shi in the Western Regions from time to time to harass the four towns of Anxi, and now all the broken leaves fall into the hands of the Tuqi Shi people, and the Anxi Protectorate can only control the three towns of Qiuzi, Khotan and Shule...... Even Shule was once occupied by the Turgish. ”

"The cities and kingdoms in the northwest of the Beiting Protectorate have also fallen into the control of the Turgish and the Great Cannibals...... When the villain came to the Central Plains, he heard that the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate was ready to move to Yiwu......"

Mansur whispered in fear, pouring beans into a bamboo tube to tell all the relevant information he could know about the Western Regions, the Green Ridge Kingdoms and the Great Cannibals, although there was no clear logic to speak of, but the amount of information was huge, and many of them were unaware of Zhang Xuan, the emperor.

The more Zhang Xuan listened, the more ugly his face became. And the general Nan Jiyun, who was standing on the side, not only had an ugly face, but a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. If the 'Bo'si man in front of him did not tell a lie, then it means that the officials of Anxi and Beiting have concealed a considerable degree of true information from the imperial court and the emperor.

Anxi's Feng Chong went to the Western Regions not long after, but Cheng Qianli of Beiting had been in charge of the Beiting Protectorate for several years, and the Beiting sent a report to the imperial court only reported good news and not bad news, so that Zhang Xuan did not realize that the original Tuqi Shi people and the Great Cannibal had encroached on half of the area under the jurisdiction of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate. Although, it may be only de facto control and not an overt occupation.

Zhang Xuan angrily slapped the table.

Bang!

Mansour was startled, and quickly shut up, and fell to his knees with a pale face.

Zhang Xuan let out a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "Mansur, you don't have to be afraid ∞ to ask you, that is to say, now not only the Tocharian and Zhaowu nine kingdoms are occupied by the Great Cannibals, but even the four towns of Anxi have been attacked and harassed by the Turgish people, and they are in danger?" ”

Mansur chuckled in his heart, and said in his heart: It is not impossible to be in danger, but in a few years, the Anxi Protectorate will exist in name only, and the four towns of Anxi will be controlled by the Turgish, which is possible.

But he didn't dare to say it so bluntly, just a few words of resignation, vague.

"Also, is it true that the Turgish have control over the northwest region of Beiting? If you tell the truth, if you have half a lie, I will not spare you. ”

Zhang Xuan's voice was cold.

Mansur trembled in horror and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, how dare the villain deceive Your Majesty" The cavalry people set up forts in the cities of Nilek and Wulabo, blocking the road and extorting tyranny, making the merchants who came and went complain, and the villain was preparing to make a detour to Ruoqiang, Khotan, and Shule this time, and take the southern route to avoid the robber-like Turquois. ”

Zhang Xuan was silent.

He waved his hand and said, "Nanba, take the four of them down first, and wait for my summons at any time." ”

"Yes, I obey." Nan Jiyun saw that the emperor's mood was very bad, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly took the four "Bos" people of Mansur away.

Watching Nan Jiyun leave with the Bosi people, Zhang Xuan suddenly roared, "Guo Ziyi! Zhang Xun! Wait for me to come out! ”

Guo Ziyi and Zhang Xun, who had been standing behind the screen for a long time and listened to the pale faces, hurriedly came out and knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

The situation in the Western Regions is not good, in fact, the two of them have also heard about it, and most of the merchants who come and go say so, Mansour, a native of "Bosi", did not lie, and of course did not dare to lie. It's just that the two of them didn't receive the official report of Feng Chong and Cheng Qianli, the two chief officials of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and the Great Protector of the Beiting Palace, so they couldn't report the hearsay news to the emperor, because this involved Feng Chong and Cheng Qianli, the two feudal officials, as well as Yang Naanhuan's new trick Du Wei Shen Mei. br>

"Did you hear that? Anxi may still have forgivable circumstances, the four towns of Anxi are close to the Green Ridge, bordering the territory of the Great Cannibals, and the Turgish people took advantage of the fire to loot after the Battle of Talas, which is also expected by me. But—but, I never imagined that half of the North Court would also fall into the hands of the Turgish. ”

"That's fine! Cheng Qianli dared to conceal it and not report it! In the recital to me last month, there was still singing and dancing, which is simply unreasonable! ”

"The Western Regions are in danger, the Great Cannibals and the Turgish are eyeing each other, and I, the emperor, my court, are still 'blinded' in the dark. If I hadn't inadvertently asked these four 'Bos' people to ask questions, wouldn't I have to wait until the Western Regions were completely lost, and I would still know nothing! ”

"Damn! Yang Ningnai┦PumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPumpPump br>

Zhang Xuan was furious, and the roaring voice echoed in the study, Guo Ziyi and Zhang Xuncheng were terrified and depressed.

The two didn't dare to reply, so they could only prostrate themselves on the ground, waiting for Zhang Xuan to vent his anger.

Zhang Xuan was angry for a long time, and then slowly calmed down.

The situation in the Western Regions is not good, and he also knows it. The internal turmoil in the Central Plains, the change of dynasties, the control of the Western Regions must be weakened, and after the Battle of Talas, the forces of the Great Cannibals invaded the east, and the countries of the Green Mountains were already the grass on the wall, and they would definitely turn to the Great Food. As for the Turgish people, they are even more wolf ambitions, and they have no loyalty at all, and it is not difficult to understand that they took advantage of the fire to rob and invade the four towns of Anxi.

But the situation in Beiting-Beiting was also so bad, which was beyond Zhang Xuan's expectations. Because from beginning to end, whether it was to resist the Tibetans or quell the rebellion, he did not recruit the military horses of Beiting, that is to say, the only one in the world that was not affected was Beiting.

But what did Cheng Qianli do in the North Garden?

Zhang Xuan angrily slapped the table again, gritted his teeth and said, "Guo Ziyi, send someone to Beiting and Anxi to find out the situation, if everything is true-"

Zhang Xuan let out a long breath and said coldly, "If everything is true, Cheng Qianli will not be able to escape if he conceals his crime and does not report it>Γ

"Zhang Xun, pass the decree and order Yang Lian to open the 'spring' that is, lead the army from Shenwu City to attack the big and small Bolu, and we must take the big and small Bolu before I lead the army into the Western Regions."

"Obey." Zhang Xun got up with a sigh of relief and went out to deliver the message.

And Guo Ziyi also embarrassedly clasped her fists and bowed and withdrew from the study.

After the two left, they suddenly heard the sound of smashing cups behind them, and they couldn't help but be even more frightened, and hurried away.

Zhang Xuan was furious, and almost announced on the spot, Yang Ning's first 5 and 5 pounds, and he almost made an announcement on the spot, and put Yang Ning's first 5 sugar on the spot, and put Yang Ning's first 5 sugar on the spot. br>

However, Yang Yuqian's (18) traces of the Yellow Vulture Vardice and the removal of Yang Yuqian (18) will cause the imperial court in Zhongjing to "swing" and ambush the hidden danger of instability.

Therefore, these two people cannot be moved for the time being.

But after Zhang Xuan pacified the Western Regions, Cheng Qianli and Yang Mi Na Mengtar Huai ǎ br>

As an emperor, Zhang Xuan could tolerate the incompetence of his courtiers, but he could not tolerate their deception.

This opening cannot be opened, if this opening is opened, where is the authority of the emperor? What is the control of the imperial court?

Zhang Xuan Huoran got up and went out of the "door" to Zhuoma's courtyard, he secretly made up his mind, the schedule of the western expedition should be advanced.

……

……

Dolma was in a very bad mood.

Although Tubo was destroyed, the glory of the former Tubo country is still entangled in the hearts of many Tubo people, and Zhuoma is no exception. Today's "Bosi" people ridiculed and abused the Tibetan people, which directly touched Zhuoma's sensitive nerves.

As the current imperial concubine, she can easily kill the four 'Bosi' people to vent her anger, but what can she do if she kills them, and she can't change the outcome of the Tubo country. As soon as he thought of this, Dolma was disheartened, unspeakably sad and helpless.

Zhang Xuan pushed the "door" and left, waved his hand, and several "waiters" and "women" hurriedly retreated quietly.

Zhuoma lay on the "bed" couch and wept mourning, and when he heard movement behind him, he couldn't help but reprimand hysterically, "I've told you, don't bother me again, if you hear it, get out!" ”

Zhang Xuan coughed lightly.

Zhuoma heard his movements, suddenly looked up, and saw the emperor standing in front of him with an indifferent smile, couldn't help but be stunned, hesitated slightly, wiped a handful of tears, and then got up and bowed, "The concubine greets Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't know that Your Majesty has arrived, and she has missed the distance, please forgive Your Majesty!" ”

Zhang Xuan helped Zhuoma up and sat on the "bed" couch.

He smiled faintly, "Zhuoma, I destroyed Tubo and took you as a concubine, are you holding a grudge against me?" ”

The corners of Zhuoma's mouth trembled, "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

"Since I don't dare, it means that I still have ideas in my heart. Hehe, though, I don't blame you. Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, "I told you a long time ago that I will destroy the Tubo country, but it will make the Tubo people live a better life." Whether you believe it or not, you have to accept the reality. ”

"I have to remind you that you are now my concubine, and you are no longer a Tibetan 'girl'."

"Since you are the imperial concubine, you must abide by the duties of the imperial concubine, this is what I said to you."

"I will not only destroy Tibet, but I will also expand the territory of our dynasty to a level of ancient and modern times, and I will personally create a powerful empire with unlimited territory, whether it is Tibet, the Western Regions, the Turks and the Hui, or above the Green Mountains and even the land of the 'Bo' Great Eclipse, it will be my place to put my horses...... You might as well wait and see! ”

"Remember, you are my 'woman', and in the future, you will witness the rise of a supreme power with me! This is your destiny and my destiny! After speaking, Zhang Xuan got up and strode away.

Zhuoma's eyes looked at Zhang Xuan's tall back striding away in shock and complexity, speechless.

It was only at this moment that she realized that a mere Tubo was nothing in the emperor's heart, and the emperor's heart was too big, so big that even if she looked up, she couldn't see the border.
