Ali Gu, the adopted son of Tubo Zampu Dong Yu, can also be said to be a fake son!

He was originally from Khotan, because his mother was the concubine of Zampu Dong Yu, and his identity rose and changed.

Such a thing rarely happened in the Central Plains Dynasty, but it was common among the nomads of the Northwest. However, it stands to reason that the status of the concubine is not high, and according to the tradition of the son being the mother, Ali Gu's status will be very limited, and he will even be despised and neglected.

However, Ali Gu is an outlier, firstly, his mother is very favored by Dong Yu. And he himself, somehow, was even loved by Mrs. Qiao, the Empress Dowager of Tubo, almost as much as his own grandson.

Second, Ali Gu itself is tall and mighty, extremely brave, and has also made many meritorious contributions, and his prestige is great, and he can be said to be a young hero among the Tibetan people, and his prestige is very high.

More importantly, his younger brother Sunan Dangzheng is also heroic, and the subordinate of Sunan Dangzheng is also wise and brave, and his prestige and strength in the Tubo army are good.

You must know that the nomads on the steppe are the most advocating of force!

After the death of his father, Dong Yu focused on consolidating and improving his military strength, and even used a large number of young talents. Among them, the most important ones are undoubtedly Qingyi's ghost chapter and Ali bone.

Because Ali Gu's identity is more sensitive and special, many things seem to be so complicated.

For example, in the matter of welcoming the Song Dynasty mission, although it was the Shangguo mission, Tubo was nominally a minister, but the envoy who came was only a small Ministry of Rites after all. The grand welcome and reception is certain, but it is absolutely impossible for Tubo Zampu to greet him personally.

As a matter of course, a representative will be sent to greet you. The candidate for the representative will generally be a minister, or a prince.

Since Zampu Dong Yu did not come in person, the most suitable person is undoubtedly his son Lin Bibi. That is, the quasi-concubine of Princess Jinshan of Western Xia, who may soon become the groom's official.

But on such a grand occasion, Lin Qibi did not appear, and the representative of Tubo Zampu was his adopted son Ali Gu. His identity can barely be regarded as the prince of Tubo, but there is still a big difference compared to the real Lin Bi......

What the hell is going on? What did Dong Yu think about? Why did Tibet have such an arrangement?

Is it deliberately used in this way to snub and despise the people of the Song Dynasty? Or does Dong Yu love more and attach more importance to his adopted son? Or is it because Lin Bibi has a marriage contract with Xixia, in order to avoid the embarrassment of meeting? Or is it just a coincidence, and nothing else in particular?

Don't underestimate a simple personnel arrangement, which represents great diplomatic significance......

Lin Zhao couldn't help but keep a little more in his heart, wondering what the Tubo people were doing?

Qingyi Jiegui Zhang was also surprised by this, there was naturally a reason for the change in his expression, although Lin Qibi was Zampu's biological son, his health had not been good, and he was quite weak, which made Dong Yu very dissatisfied, and the degree of love for him by his subjects was also very limited. On the contrary, it is Ali Gu, who is very favored and is a young man praised by everyone.

So a hundred years after Dong Yu, the position of this Zampu ......

So intentionally or unintentionally, Dong Yu's two "sons" are competing. Today, to welcome such a major event of the Song Dynasty mission, the main protagonist Lin Qibi did not appear, but Ali Gu came out to support the façade, which inevitably has some unusual meaning, which makes people confused and suspicious!

There is such an arrangement, what kind of wrist did Ali Gu move? Or is it Zampu's intentional arrangement, which represents the attitude of Tubo towards the Song Dynasty, and is even related to the national policy. So when Qingyi Jiegui Chapter saw Ali Gu, he was a little surprised and a little puzzled!

"Thank you Zampu, there is General Rauri Bone!" Lin Zhao responded according to etiquette, because Ali Gu did not have a clear canonization and princely identity, and the title of general was undoubtedly the most appropriate.

"Please invite the Song delegation into the city!" Although Ali Gu looks a little rude, he still speaks in an orderly manner and is very polite. As the son of Zampu, he must be very proficient in Chinese and the corresponding Han etiquette.

When Ali Gu saw Qingyi's ghost chapter, he was surprised: "Ghost Zhang, why are you here?" Didn't Zamp send you to inspect the frontier? Why are you back again? Still with Song Envoy? ”

When Lin Zhao saw this situation, he slandered in his heart, could it be that the relationship between Qingyi and Ali Gu was not harmonious? It's no wonder that Zampu's latest promotion reuses the two of them, and there is some competition between them, and some friction is completely normal.

Qingyi knotted the ghost chapter and said: "I met the Song Dynasty mission on the border, and there was a little accident, so I escorted it back to Qingtang City and returned to Zampu, and I will return!" ”

"Oh, that's it!" Ali Gu just asked casually, then said no more, and immediately invited Lin Zhao into the city.

Lin Zhao rode side by side with Ali Gu and entered the city gate, only to find that Qingtang City was far more prosperous than imagined. There are shops on both sides of the street, and there are many merchants who come and go between the Central Plains and the Western Regions, and many people are reluctant to go east when they sell goods from the Western Regions to Qingtang City, and the Central Plains people do not want to risk going to the Western Regions, so the Tubo people are very convenient to start a reselling business. Qingtang City has also become a cargo distribution center and a commercial trade transit station, which is very prosperous.

At this moment, when I heard that the Great Song Dynasty delegation was coming, there were many Tibetan people who welcomed them, plus many people who came to see the excitement, and the streets were even more crowded.

And the first Lin Zhao and Ali Gu have undoubtedly become the focus of attention, and some people have already judged the young and handsome envoys of the Song Dynasty. Ali bone is also more familiar to people, and its popularity and prestige have undoubtedly been greatly improved. Although he is Dong Yu's adopted son, many low-level people don't know the inside story, and only say that he is the son of Zampu.

So in addition to shouting to welcome the Song envoy, some people also shouted for Prince Aligu......

Prince......

Presumably, Ali Gu himself dreamed of it, and he really wanted to sit on the identity of the real person!

Lin Zhao suddenly found that he and the entire mission seemed to be being used by Ali Bone.

However, this is not something that I can control, and I am really passive when it comes to welcoming the mission. It should be said that Ali Gu was lucky, or he found a way to seize a good opportunity to direct and improve his reputation!

Of course, the two important figures swaggered through the market, and the accompanying guards were naturally extra careful. Su An followed closely behind Lin Zhao, his gaze constantly turning, keeping an eye out for possible attacks from all sides.

Fortunately, the Tibetans had already done some work before, and some soldiers opened the way, but they have been peaceful......

However, the streets are congested, so the speed of progress is inevitably hindered!

By the time we arrived at the hotel, it was already noon.

Ali Gu said: "The courtyard of Wujin, the place may be more tense, I don't know if your country's mission is enough to live?" ”

"That's it, thank you, General!" For such an arrangement, Lin Zhao was happy to see it come to fruition and was very satisfied.

Ali Gu said: "Well, after a long journey, everyone in the mission must be a little tired. After the Lin envoys had eaten, they rested first, and later said that Zampu would receive you. ”

According to the procedure itself, Lin Zhao did not arrive with any accidents, and accepted Ali Gu's arrangement very calmly.

At least for now, the Tubo people are relatively polite and thoughtful. As for other more important things, I don't know until I have met Zampu Dong Yu!

Ali Gu said: "Okay, Lin envoy rest, I'm going back to report to Zampu." ”

"Good! By the way, who's in the courtyard over there? "Shicai passed by a street at the entrance of a ceremonial hotel, and saw that there were Tubo soldiers guarding the other side, which was probably also important, so Lin Zhao asked casually.

Ali Gu smiled lightly and said, "Over there is the residence of the Western Xia Mission!" ”

Belch......

Thinking that the Tangut people have already arrived first, it is no wonder, after all, the people are closer! Lin Zhao knew that from this moment on, the diplomatic situation in Hehuang and Tibet had officially begun......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The center of Qingtang City is a grand palace, although it is not as grand as the one built by Songtsen Gampo for Princess Wencheng, but it is still splendid, symbolizing the status and wealth of Hehuang Tubo.

In a palace in the Tubo Imperial Palace, a middle-aged man stood with his hands in his hands, looking about thirty or forty years old, relatively elegant in appearance, extraordinary in bearing, and his clothes and hats showed his noble status.

It's none other than the current Tubo Zampu Dong Yu!

At this moment, Dong Yu is quietly listening to the report of his subordinates!

"Zampu, the Song Dynasty mission has entered the city!"

"Hmmm! I heard that Qingyi Jiejie Ghost Chapter personally escorted them back? Dong Yu asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, it is said that they were assassinated on the border of Hezhou, and Qingyi Jiegui Zhang was not at ease, so he escorted them to Qingtang City. After reporting to Zampu, he will leave and return to the border......"

"No!" Dong Yu waved his hand lightly and said, "Let him not go, the most important thing in Tubo at the moment is Qingtang City, let him stay, it's good to have a long experience." ”

"Yes!"

Dong Yu asked again: "What about Ali bones?" How was the reception of the Song Dynasty mission? ”

"Very good, the arrangement is very grand, there are people to welcome you, the atmosphere is warm, everything is in order, and now the mission has been sent to the courtesy hotel."

Dong Yu smiled lightly, and he didn't know if he was satisfied with his adopted son's approach, or if he had any other ideas! Then he said: "Okay, then let him entertain the envoys of the Song Dynasty in the next few days!" ”

"Zampu, why don't you let Prince Lin Bi go?"

Dong Yu's face was expressionless, and he said for a long time: "What about Xixia?" Liang Yibury came in person, how can I say that he is also the uncle of Princess Xixia, and he wants to be someone's son-in-law, is it okay to be disrespectful? ”

"Zamp, what do you mean ......?"

"It's not interesting, it's still early?" Dong Yu smiled and shook his head, and then asked: "By the way, it is said that the Song Dynasty mission came through Hezhou, and he also had a wine with Mu Zheng, right?" (To be continued.) )
