On www.biquge.info the way back to Honglu Temple, Wang Xuance asked curiously: "Shaoqing, Wang Sicheng did a good job, why did you let us replace him?"

Gao Biaoren is also very strange about this, because Wu Yuanqing he understands should be a tired and lazy person, he can't do anything if he can, he can't hide when he encounters something, and he shouldn't be a person who fights for power and profit.

But what Wu Yuanqing did just now was clearly to seize power from Wang Sicheng's hands and install his own people in Honglu Temple, of course, these own people are his Gao Biaoren and Wang Xuance.

Wu Yuanqing smiled faintly and said: "Don't think about it, I am neither excluding dissidents, nor installing my own people, just you two little minions, do you think it is necessary for me to personally install them?"

Wang Xuance and the others nodded subconsciously, they are not arrogant, but the truth is like this, one of them is now a flat-headed commoner, and the other is a petty official who has just entered the product, so they can't use Wu Yuanqing to be a dignified fourth-grade Shaoqing to go out and insert it.

Wu Yuanqing explained their confusion and said: "The reason why I let you be responsible for receiving the Tubo people in the future is because I need you to keep an eye on the Tubo people and write down everything they say, especially their domestic and foreign wars."

Speaking of this, Wu Yuanqing paused, and seeing that the two of them were still a little confused, he continued: "The reason why I want you to do this, instead of Wang Sicheng, is because your grade is not high, and the Tubo people will not be too wary of you. If it is for Wang Sicheng to do it, because of his official position, his every move will inevitably attract the attention of the Tubo people, even if it is not a vigilance, as long as he is there, the Tubo people, especially Shang Nang, must be very polite to accompany him. It's certainly not good for finding out what is going on."

Speaking of which, Wang Xuance and the two understood, it turned out that this was the benefit of the official group, and it was not easy for the officials to attract attention, and the Tubo people would not pay much attention to them, or the people at the level of the chief and deputy envoys of the Tubo envoy group would not pay attention to them, at least when they mixed with the lower echelons of the envoy group, there would be no Shang Nang or high-level people to accompany them.

Wang Xuance and the others didn't know why Wu Yuanqing asked them to keep an eye on the Tubo people, and Li Chengqian, who knew Wu Yuanqing's arrangement, also didn't understand.

"Do you know where the specific location of Tibet is and what are the neighboring countries?" Wu Yuanqing asked.

"Well, I know the general location, in Jiannan Road, west of Shannan Road. As for the neighboring countries, I don't know very well, it seems that there are sheep and subi places." Li Chengqian said uncertainly.

Wu Yuanqing walked to the desk on the side, took a piece of paper and spread it out, and drew a general schematic map of the territory with a few brushstrokes.

Then he drew a few circles on the location of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, pointed at the largest one with his finger and said, "This is the approximate scope of Tibetan rule." Then he pointed his finger at the surrounding circles and said, "These are the tribes and small countries around Tibet."

"Eh" Li Chengqian didn't quite understand and asked, "What do you want to explain?"

"What I want to say is that the Tibetans are very strong and aggressive now, and their previous rule was not as large as it is now, and a small half of the area you see was captured and annexed by the Tibetans in the past two years, and the remaining few that have not been occupied will also be annexed by them in half a year." Wu Yuanqing made a gesture to bring the remaining small countries together.

"See, now there are a few small countries between Tubo and Datang as buffer zones, and after these countries are occupied, Tubo will directly border Datang."

The schematic drawing is rough, but the meaning to be expressed can be seen clearly at a glance, so Li Chengqian understood what Wu Yuanqing meant: "I know, you mean that when Tubo occupies these countries, there will be a direct conflict with the Tang Dynasty, and they are likely to use troops against the Tang Dynasty."

Wu Yuanqing smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, you kid is not stupid, you finally know what I said."

Li Chengqian glanced at him angrily and said: "Then it's useless for you to let people keep an eye on the Tubo envoys, they can't know the movement of troops in Tubo from far away in the Tang Dynasty."

"No, no, no, I'm not wondering about that." Wu Yuanqing shook his head and said: "I have no interest in how the Tubo people fight and when they fight these small countries, of course, even if we know this, we can't do anything. We can't send troops to help a few small countries fight."

"Then why are you staring at the Tibetan envoys?" Li Chengqian was a little dizzy.

"Of course, I'm looking for information, but I'm interested in some of the things they might talk about in their daily conversations, such as the economic situation in Tibet, what the nobles ate, what the common people ate, and what the serfs ate. For another example, whether the contradictions between the nobles and the common people are sharp or not, or the disputes between the various tribes within them, who has contradictions between the ministers, what contradictions, whether the contradictions are big, and the strength and weakness of the Tibetan army, I also want to know." Wu Yuanqing said a lot in one breath.

Li Chengqian was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Are you sure that the Tubo people will talk about this every day?"

"Don't you talk nonsense, just their hundred or so people came to Datang, and they are not familiar with the place, they don't talk about what else can they talk about in Tubo. Talking about Datang, they have to understand it." Wu Yuanqing said angrily.

"That's not all possible." Li Chengqian still doesn't believe it.

"Of course, I didn't expect them to talk about anything. But something can be analyzed from their chat, and it's better than nothing." Wu Yuanqing said.

"Then why do you bother so much, isn't it faster and more comprehensive to send secret agents to Tibet to collect information?" Li Chengqian looked at Wu Yuanqing with idiot eyes.

"I said are you stupid, send secret agents, do you have this right or do I have this right, do you know that all the secret agents in the court are controlled by your father, and whoever dares to interfere will lose his head." Wu Yuanqing scoffed at Li Chengqian's words.

"Then you can also send ordinary people, and it's not doing anything dangerous, it's just a simple intelligence gathering." Li Chengqian argued.

"This is a matter of the state, why do I want to send someone myself, what if I encounter danger, the court will not give a penny, deal with the aftermath, and pay for the orphans and widows to raise my family." Wu Yuanqing pursed his lips.

Wu Yuanqing's consciousness is so low that he has no bottom line, and he is stupid to listen to Li Chengqian.

Wu Yuanqing's consciousness was actually not so low, he just deliberately squeezed Li Chengqian. The real reason is that there are very few Tang people in the barbarian land, especially Tubo, which is located on the plateau, the climate and altitude are not very suitable for the life of the Tang people, so not to mention that there are Tang people who go to Tubo to live, even the caravans of the Tang Dynasty basically do not go to Tubo.

In such a place where there are almost no Tang people, I took the liberty of running to a few Tang people to collect news, and I had to be focused on by the Tubo people all the time.

It's like a monkey suddenly running into the world, it's going to be watched, and there's going to be talk about collecting information.
