Chapter 0296: Wang Zhonghe's Suspicions
Li Ang said such cruel words in public, Dong Yanguang was shocked and angry, his face was as if he had opened a dyeing workshop, one red and one purple, all kinds of colors.
At this moment, Wang Zhonghe, who had been quietly watching the development of the situation, finally spoke up: "Deputy Envoy Dong, Li Bingcao's life experience, presumably Jiannan Dao has its own case files to investigate, as for the golden knife you mentioned, although there are doubts, this is not enough to prove that Li Bingcao is a spy of Tubo or the Subi Department."
It is a fact that Li Bingcao went deep behind enemy lines this time and broke through Tibet, thanks to the imperial court. If Li Bingcao is determined to be a spy with a golden knife, it will be difficult to convince the public, and it will inevitably chill the hearts of the border guards. The envoy will find out about this matter, so Deputy Envoy Dong will go back to his seat first. ”
Dong Yanguang's black beard trembled a few times, glared at Li Ang and snorted coldly, and walked away.
Wang Zhongsi looked at his back and didn't say a word, until Dong Yanguang disappeared outside the hall, he said to everyone: "Don't mind, let's continue to drink." ”
Although Wang Zhongsi didn't have to mind, the atmosphere of this celebration banquet was not relaxed because of Dong Yanguang's departure, and everyone had some doubts about Li Ang.
As the saying goes, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it; Heaps out of the shore, and the flow will be turbulent; Walk above men, and the crowd will not.
As soon as Li Ang arrived in Longyou, he behaved so dazzlingly, the aura on his body overshadowed many people, how could there be fewer people who were jealous?
What's more, these things mentioned by Dong Yanguang don't seem to be fabricated out of thin air. Take the golden knife engraved with the words "Subi Zhuoma" in Tibetan script, such a precious thing will be very cherished by the owner.
Unless you can capture Princess Nadolma. Otherwise, it would be impossible to get such a golden knife.
Leon said that it was obtained by chance, where did there be so many coincidences?
In the midst of each man's doubts. This celebration feast broke up unhappily.
Li Ang returned to the residence arranged for him by Sima Cui Qianyou, and the two rooms had already been cleaned. The bedding was replaced with new ones, and the worn window paper was re-glued.
After Wu Xuan closed the door, he stopped talking. Leon walked into the inner room, closed the door, lay down on the bed, and brought the quilt over, as if holding a big beauty, he took out the text message that Princess Dolma tied to the arrow from his arms, and looked at it again.
After reading the letter, Leon got up again and found the bronze mirror. I took off my pants and looked at my left buttocks in the mirror, and sure enough, I saw a birthmark the size of a copper coin eye on my right buttocks.
No! How is this possible? Are you really a Tibetan?
Li Ang's heart was filled with inexplicable chagrin. That's right, the Tibetans of later generations also belong to China and the Chinese nation. My heart is completely Chinese.
But why does the frustration still linger?
After Li Ang destroyed the text message, he took out the white jade wrench, and two lines of Chinese characters were clearly engraved on the wrench: spread your wings and clouds, and the water is far away. The inscription is a "hong" word.
Could it be that this white jade wrench has nothing to do with his life experience? Why didn't she mention it in the letter?
Is her word really credible?
If she was lying, how could she explain her behavior in guiding her way back? How do you know you have a birthmark on your left buttock?
A series of questions made Li Ang's heart numb.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Li Ang replied casually: "Come in." ”
Wu Xuan pushed the door and walked in, and saw Li Ang lying on the bed. His right hand was playing with a jade wrench, and he hesitated and said, "Lang Jun, I'm afraid that Deputy Envoy Dong won't give up." In the future, you will be troubled everywhere. This open gun is easy to dodge, but the hidden arrow is difficult to defend against. Lang Jun has to be careful. ”
Li Ang raised his eyelids and said, "Didn't you say that guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent?" Can you hide with your tail between your legs all day? ”
Wu Xuan was a little speechless. After a pause, he said: "Why don't Lang Jun explain the origin of the golden knife to Ambassador Wang, if you can get the protection of Ambassador Wang, you don't have to worry about Dong Yanguang secretly making it bad." ”
"Nanmen, you don't suspect that I was a spy sent by the Subi Ministry, right?"
"What did Lang Jun say, if there was a talent like you in the Subi Department, Tubo would have been replaced a long time ago, and there was still no need to send Lang Jun to the Tang Dynasty to be a spy?"
"Take Tibet and replace it? ......... hiss" Leon suddenly sat up from the bed, pondered for a moment, and lay down on his back again.
Wu Xuan saw that he was thoughtful, so he didn't speak again, so as not to interrupt his thoughts.
Instead, Li Ang took the initiative to speak: "Nanmen, you gave me a very important revelation today, how is your arm?" Can you go and make me a cup of tea, let me think for myself. ”
Wu Xuan didn't speak, and arched his hand and retreated.
Li Ang put aside the question of his life experience, and began to think wildly in his mind.
The political system of Tibet is actually a tribal alliance system, under which are the heads of various tribes, and these tribal leaders are hereditary, similar to the vassal states of the Spring and Autumn Period.
This kind of hereditary tribal leader has a lot of real power. History has proven that this kind of political system can still hold up when its center is relatively strong.
Once the central government weakens, there will be a situation like the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and none of the princes below will take the Son of Heaven in their eyes and go their own way.
Judging from the development process of history, in the late Tang Dynasty, the reason why Tibet gradually weakened was precisely because of the situation of strong branches and weak cadres. The leaders of the various tribes had different intentions, fought for power and profit, and even established themselves as kings, so that the various tribes of Tibet were scattered, and they were no longer as strong as they are now.
The Subi tribe was originally a country, and its civilization level was higher than that of the Tibetan headquarters, and now the Tibetan soldiers, horses, grains and grass are also half from the Subi. Did the Subi tribe really accept the rule of Tibet willingly?
Because of some rumors created by himself, Tubo Zampu Ruler Zhudan wantonly purged the Dayan Department, although there are factors of power struggle within Tubo, but why is it not because Ruler Belt Zhudan is suspicious of his subordinate tribes, so there will be such a result?
As the most powerful tribe among the Tibetan tribes, will the Subi tribe have no scruples in their hearts?
Wu Xuan's words just now made Li Ang think of a possibility, that is, to replace the current Tubo with Subi.
No matter how strong a fortress is, it can hardly resist damage from within. If an agreement can be reached with the Subi Ministry, the inside should be combined with the outside. Destroying Tibet may not be a fool's dream.
Damn, it doesn't matter what his background is. Regardless of his origin, the war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty continued. This is a disaster for the people on both sides.
The only way to end this protracted war is to merge with each other.
To achieve this kind of integration, the Subi tribe is undoubtedly the ideal entry point. But it's hard to mention this matter now, otherwise he would probably really be identified as a spy sent by the Subi Ministry.
Li Ang was thinking about it, and Wu Xuan brought in the tea with one hand. Leon turned over and sat up, took the tea, blew the floating tea on the surface of the water with a big grin, and took a sip. said to Wu Xuan: "South Gate, if you have time, go to the city to walk more, there should be our acquaintances in Shanzhou." ”
Wu Xuan knew why he said this, no one in this Longyou should know his details, but Dong Yanguang was at the celebration banquet, and even the details of the defenders of Yerong City who had arrested him as a Tubo spy were so clear, Dong Yanguang could not send someone to Jiannan Road to find out everything so clearly in such a short period of time, then there was only one possibility. There are Jiannan old people who have come to Shanzhou.
"My subordinates will go and investigate."
"Are your injuries really healed?"
"Lang Jun rest assured, this will not affect the actions of his subordinates."
"Okay, then it's hard for you, find out who is ventilating Dong Yanguang as soon as possible."
"Whoa!"
Wu Xuan just finished. Outside the door, an envoy shouted, "Li Bingcao, Li Bingcao, Ambassador Wang, please come over." ”
Li Ang and Wu Xuan glanced at each other. Put down the teacup and follow the little official to the backyard of the embassy.
Wang Zhongsi changed into a regular clothes. Sit under a screen in the lobby. In addition to him, Fei Guanqing, the secretary in charge, and Ge Shuhan, the tooth general, were also present.
Leon took two steps closer. stepped forward and bowed, "Xiaguan has seen Ambassador Wang. ”
Wang Zhongsi has been observing Li Ang's every move since Li Ang walked into the lobby, and he couldn't see his thoughts at this time, but he raised his hand very calmly and said, "Li Bingcao, sit down." ”
"Thank you, Ambassador for your seat!" Li Ang's attitude was humble, but he was not humble and arched his hand to Fei Guanqing and Ge Shuhan again, before kneeling down and sitting down, looking at Wang Zhonghei with clear eyes, and said, "I don't know what Ambassador Wang has to call him, what do you command?" ”
Wang Zhongsi still said quietly: "Li Bingcao went deep into Tibet this time and made great contributions, and he should have been given a corresponding reward immediately, but Li Bingcao is a new science and technology jinshi, and it is not a trivial matter to capture Tubo. ”
Li Ang guessed that Wang Zhonghe, as the Four Towns Jiedu, did not have the power to reward himself, and he pushed the matter to Chang'an, probably to avoid some potential dangers.
Obviously, Dong Yanguang's words made him have doubts about himself.
Li Ang replied succinctly: "Thank you, Ambassador Wang!" ”
"Li Bingcao, you said that you did have a golden knife on your body before, can you explain the origin of this golden knife?" Although Wang Zhongsi's tone was very polite, there was a faint taste that could not be refused.
"Ambassador Hui Wang, who was abandoned on the side of the road since he was a child, was adopted by my master, and has traveled around with his master since he was a child. When he was dying, the master handed me the golden knife and a jade wrench, but he passed away before he could explain the reason. To be honest, Xia Guan never knew the origin of these two things. ”
Wang Zhongsi said noncommittally: "What about the golden knife and jade wrench now? ”
"Don't hide it from the ambassador Wang, in Dafeichuan, Xiaguan and the others were chased closely by the five thousand cavalry of the princess Zhuoma, in order to get out, the lower official had no choice but to let a Tibetan woman go to see the princess Zhuoma with a golden knife, and at the same time let her bring a few words."
"What?"
"The bearer of the golden knife is in my hands, if you want to keep it alive, don't chase it too closely." Li Ang's expression was calm, and he said the same as the truth, "It turns out that Xiaguan was right, since Xiaguan led the army to break into Qilian Mountain, that Princess Zhuoma really didn't dare to chase too closely, and Xiaguan and the others were able to return to Longyou." ”
"So, you really don't know where that golden knife came from?" Wang Zhongsi's eyes were fixed on Li Ang's eyes like torches, and he asked this sentence without hurrying with a little coercion.
"I didn't know before, but now I know, it's indeed the golden knife of that princess Dolma. But why it fell into the hands of the ancestors, it is unknown. Li Ang looked at Wang Zhonghe's eyes calmly without waves, and there was a little doubt in his eyes, but more calmly.
