Chapter 226: Born to a Father
"Ali bones see Zamp!"
Although his mother is Dong Yu's concubine, Ali Gu is not biological after all, and until now, Dong Yu does not seem to have the intention of publicly acknowledging Ali Gu's identity.
The name of the prince has always been unworthy of the name, even if he has a heart, the title of the father cannot be shouted in the end, and he cannot be shouted.
"Well, have all the envoys of the Song Dynasty settled down?" Dong Yu smiled and nodded, and asked softly. In general, he still likes and appreciates this cheap son.
"According to Zampu's instructions, he has been welcomed into the city according to etiquette and settled down." Ali replied softly respectfully.
"Good!" Dong Zhan knew that Ali Gu would definitely be able to handle this little thing, so he immediately asked, "Do you have any thoughts on the Song Dynasty mission?" What are your impressions? ”
"This ......" Ali Gu hesitated for a moment and said, "Lin Zhao, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, is very young, I heard that he is only twenty years old!" ”
"Really?" Knowing that the Song Dynasty mission was coming, Dong Yu had already inquired about the situation of the envoys, and he was also surprised like Liang Yiburi.
The emperor of the Song Dynasty is young, and he may not be able to do more, but there are not so many old ministers, why is he so rash and sent a young envoy?
The status of an envoy often represents a country's diplomatic strategy, as well as the degree of importance.
A twenty-year-old envoy is a little rash in the eyes of ordinary people. When the Song Dynasty did this, did it not take Western Xia in its eyes, or did it deliberately snub Tibet? Dong Yu couldn't help but start muttering in his heart, what does the Song Dynasty mean? These undoubtedly had an important impact on the relationship between the Tibetan and Song dynasties.
Also, why did the Song Dynasty mission pass through Hezhou? Although there are weather reasons and shortcut factors, what kind of mentality is it to drink and talk about wine with Mu Zheng in Hezhou? After all, the relationship between Hehuang and Tibet and Hezhou is well known?
Could it be that the Song Dynasty also had to do the same as Li Yuanhao did back then, using the contradictions between brothers to divide and disintegrate Tibet? Dong Yu, who has been well-educated since childhood, knows that this is the usual method of the Central Plains Dynasty.
Some doubts lingered in his heart, which made Dong Yu have some doubts and negative emotions about the envoys of the Song Dynasty.
"Anything else? Presumably you also know something about the situation of the envoys of the Song Dynasty, do you have any opinions? Dong Yu asked in a deep voice.
To a certain extent, this is a matter related to the diplomatic strategy of Tibet, a state affair and a major event of Tibet! Dong Yu asked this, it was a kind of temptation, and it was also a kind of school examination, and Ali Gu naturally had to be extra cautious. In fact, since just now, Ali Gu is also keenly aware of this, so he doesn't dare to say anything casually, and he talks about him left and right, mentioning the age of the Song envoy.
Originally, I thought that I would just fool around like this, but Dong Yu seemed to have the intention of getting to the bottom of it, and Ali Gu knew that he couldn't hide today.
But the stakes are very high, and you don't dare to express your stance casually, and the consequences will be quite serious if you don't get it right. Especially now that his identity is unknown, and he has thoughts and plans for some things, Ali Gu needs to be even more cautious.
Ali Gu pondered for a moment, many thoughts appeared in his mind, and finally said in a deep voice: "Zampu, I thought that since the Song Dynasty had a nominal canonization, and this time it was to celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Tai, so at least in terms of etiquette, it should be solemn and courteous, without losing my Tibetan temperament and not being honest."
As for the rest, since the Song envoys and the Western Xia envoys are here, let's take a look at the conditions they have respectively offered, and then make a decision after weighing them. But no matter what, the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia can't trust too much, no matter which one is not good, it is all with the tiger skin, and strengthening our own strength is fundamental.
Of course, under the premise of maximizing the interests of our Tibetans, it is best to maneuver between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia. Such a major matter, with Ali Gu's qualifications and level, it is difficult to think about it thoroughly, and it is not something that I can easily speculate on as a young general, everything still has to be subject to Zampu's decision. ”
The difference between saying something and not saying it is not very big, vaguely it seems that he has not said anything, and Ali Gu does not show the slightest assertion and bias. However, it shows the current situation in Tibet, the principles that have been chosen, and emphasizes that all decisions should be made by Zampu Dong Yu.
While emphasizing the supremacy of Dong Yu, he also indirectly stated his position and difficulties, and I believe that these Dong Yu can understand it.
Sure enough, Dong Yu nodded lightly and said: "Yes, that's the case, this time the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia envoys came together, how to decide, let's wait until I meet the envoys of the two countries!" In this way, in two days, a banquet will be held to welcome the envoys of various countries, and I will personally preside over it. Before that, you were in charge of entertaining the envoys of the Song Dynasty! ”
"Me?" Ali Gu was a little hesitant and seemed to be a little stunned, but he didn't know whether it was from the heart or pretending to be surprised!
Dong Yu naturally knew the reason why Ali Gu was surprised and hesitated, and nodded lightly: "Yes, you go!" Lin Qibi went to receive the Western Xia provoked, so you go here in the Song Dynasty! ”
"Yes!" While Ali Gu received his life, he was also wondering about his adoptive father's intentions, and what did he mean by deliberately pointing out this fact? What are you trying to tell me? Or will you test me? Or is it that Dong Yu has already made a decision on his stance on the Song Dynasty and Western Xia?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ali Gu left, and a person next to him said: "Zampu, Ali Gu has ambitions and ideas!" ”
dared to talk about his adopted son in front of Zanpu, and it involved the issue of the future prince of the country, which shows the intimacy and trust between this person and Dong Yu.
"Yes, if you don't say more in front of me, for fear that you will say something wrong, or it won't be what I want, this kid will be very good at reading people's faces." Dong Yu sighed: "But at this point, it is much stronger than Lin Weibi, that kid is too straightforward, he can't hold things in his heart, but he doesn't know that as a king, he needs to be happy and angry......"
"Zampu, do you mean to ......?"
"Alas!" Dong Yu sighed lightly and said: "In terms of talent, Lin Qibi is far inferior to Ali Gu, but Ali Gu is not my own ...... after all."
In the matter of appointing the crown prince, it stands to reason that the first thing that should be considered is the impact of the prince on the country. But after all, the king is also a human being, and family affection and likes and dislikes will also have a great impact, and it would be good if there were more sons. Whether it is in accordance with the ancestral etiquette or choosing a virtuous person, the choice is relatively large.
But like Dong Yu, his biological son is not successful, but his adopted son is a good seedling, what should he do? Although Ali Gu is very good, what father is not willing to pass on the throne to his own son? Dong Yu's situation is the same as that of Song Renzong back then, his adopted son Zhao Zongshi is very good and very loved, but Song Renzong still works hard to have a son to inherit the throne. It was not until the end that Zhao Zongshi was made the crown prince as a last resort......
In the same way, Dong Yu's priority everywhere is still Lin Xiaobi, but his son's performance is really ...... Hate iron doesn't make steel!
Dong Yu continued: "The situation in Hehuang is very bad now, and now it looks like a harmonious atmosphere, but in fact it is full of dangers. I was still very nervous about taking over from my father, and I didn't know if I would be able to keep this family business. Lin Qibi is even more worrying, I don't want to push him into that position, but in the end it hurts him, but also harms Tubo, and ruins my father's hard work......"
The person next to him seemed to understand Dong Yu's thoughts, and comforted: "Zampu, you are still young, strong, and have time, you can teach Lin Bi well." Or maybe add a few more little princes, and you can choose the best in the future......"
Dong Yu sighed: "The idea is very good, but I don't know if I can follow people's wishes......"
The man suggested, "Zampu, whatever you plan to do in the future, Ali Gu's side should pay attention to this. His reputation and prestige are already very high, and he has outstanding military achievements, and now his strength is not small. If Zampu has other plans in the future, I'm afraid it will be too big! ”
Dong Yu knew this very well in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I will pay attention to this, Ali Gu is still young in the end, and he can't turn out the palm of my hand." But there are some things that are still necessary just in case, and you should pay attention to what Ali Gu Ping said. Also, let Qingyi come back with the ghost chapter, this son is extraordinary, I want to focus on cultivating! ”
"Yes!" The man also thought that in the future, after a hundred years of Zampu, or if there are three long and two short, I am afraid that the only one who can cure Ali Gu is Qingyi Ghost Chapter. Ali Gu is excellent, but he must set up an opponent and a competitor for him......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ali Gu left the palace, and just returned to the mansion, his younger brother Sunan Dangzheng came in a hurry. This hero is also known for his bravery, can fight well, and is Ali Gu's number one helper.
The reason why Ali Gu was able to establish a high prestige and strength in the army was inseparable from the support of the party in southern Jiangsu. He came in a hurry, and he had something to tell his brother, but he found that Ali was frowning, and it seemed that something was very difficult......
"What's wrong? Eldest brother! ”
Ali Gu said: "Zampu asked me to accompany the envoys of the Song Dynasty!" ”
"What's this? That's a good thing! ”
Ali Gu shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, Zampu also asked Lin Kuibi to accompany the Western Xia envoys." And recently, there have been many temptations for me between words! ”
"Ah......h
"After all, Lin Qibi is his biological son!" Ali Gu has a kind of helplessness that he can't meet his father......
Sunan Dang said: "Big brother don't worry, Lin Kui looks like a bear for everyone to see, although he is Zampu's biological son, but he may not be able to bear the heavy responsibility of Hehuang in the future, Zampu will definitely consider it in many ways...... What's more, our strength is constantly expanding, and the future ......"
"Don't use your brains, Zampu will definitely guard against us!" Ali Gu shook his head and said, "You may not know that when Qingyi Jiejie Ghost Chapter comes back this time, he may not leave!" ”
Ali Gu pondered for a moment and asked, "By the way, is there something you are doing here?" ”
Sunan Dang Zheng said: "Oh, by the way, those guests from Dasanguan have arrived in Qingtang City!" (To be continued.) )
