The rain has not stopped, and the envoys of the Tubo Mo clan rushed to Chang'an in the rain, thinking that their itinerary was more urgent. As the chief envoy of the envoy to Chang'an, the youngest son of the old leader of the last clan, Modong Zebu, the leader sent his son to Chang'an to be a proton, in fact, the Chang'an court has almost no tradition of killing foreign vassal protons, so there is no need to worry too much about the safety of life, and now the end of the Tubo is an ally of the Jin Dynasty. Whether Chang'an is surnamed Tang or Jin, there seems to be no difference in the eyes of people of other races, and the capital is still here, and the appearance is the same.

The old man is nominally Zampu, the golden book given by the imperial court; Of course, the city of Luo did not admit it, they also had a Zampu, a child a few years old, and the power was in the hands of the Da Yan Lang clan. The city of Luo has always been the capital of Tibet, so the little Zampu who occupies the city of Luo in people's senses represents the country of Tibet; However, according to the consistent order of the East Asian world, with the court of the Han Dynasty as the central axis of order, only those who were sealed by the imperial court would have legitimacy, and according to this rule, the Tubo regime in some cities would be illegal, but the last regime that was compressed in the north of Tubo would have legitimacy.

The leader of the Moshi clan was named the king of Tubo, and now the Modong Zebu who came to Chang'an is the prince of Tubo...... Nominally, of course.

After the death of the old Zanpu of the Tibetan State, the domestic contradictions intensified, and the Mo clan united with a part of the tribe to split in the northeast of Tubo. This is a welcome check and balance situation for Chang'an, but it is a pity that the strength of their two sides is asymmetrical, and the city of Luo has an absolute advantage in population and territory. This kind of thing is not the first time in the history of Tubo, there have been several civil strife in Tubo, and finally the strong lord and the strength of the aristocracy have destroyed the rebel clan and integrated into a whole: of course, the end of the Mo clan is not willing to face, and it is not what the Jin Dynasty is willing to see.

The purpose of Modong Zebu's trip was for the survival and interests of their own clan: they wanted to move to the territory of the Jin Dynasty and rely on the Central Plains Dynasty to survive.

However, they were also able to recognize the calculations of the Jin Dynasty, and the young man Modong Zebu's subordinates reminded him: "Tubo has a large population, and although the Han army won a big battle in Helong during the Tang Dynasty, which caused a great loss of Tubo's strength, they still did not relax their vigilance. The strategy of the Jin Dynasty was to use us to hold back the city of Luo and balance the Tibetans, so as not to threaten the Jin Dynasty's borders. Therefore, they will not agree to our internal relocation lightly. ”

Modong preached: "In the past, Qinling was killed by the city of Luo, and the remnants of his Gar clan surrendered to Chang'an, and they were also allowed to move to the Tang Dynasty. ”

The shogunate hurriedly said: "That's because the Gar clan was not the opponent of Tubo Zampu at all in the past, so we must remember to show weakness when we go to Chang'an this time, so that the court can understand that the Mo clan may be wiped out at any time." If they had unfortunately decided that the Mo clan would persevere, they would never have agreed to move inward. ”

After the group entered the city, most of the Tubo people were surprised to appreciate the grandeur and beauty of Chang'an City, only the little prince and the strategists did not care to watch it, and discussed countermeasures all the way.

The official of the Ministry of Rites greeted the delegation and treated it with courtesy. After settling their dwellings and providing them with food and supplies, it was clear that the Han people treated them well, and the people were courteous and considerate, and treated them with enough respect. There were also officials who came to entertain politely, and asked their "Zampu" step by step if he was in good health. Then he told the envoy that three days later the Queen Mother met them in the Lin De Hall and instructed them to enter the palace on time.

Why it was not the emperor who summoned but the queen mother, the Tubo people felt a little strange. Modong Zebu's subordinates heard some news and came back to tell him that the Queen Mother was the former Princess Taiping (on the bright side, the officials are not called Princess Taiping but the Queen Mother, otherwise the princess is the princess of which dynasty?). ）

Only then did the Tubo people suddenly realize that it was Princess Taiping, who had been famous before, so they understood. There is also news that the current emperor has not been in court for more than a month, rarely shows up, and the ministers are all seeing Princess Taiping, which makes the Tibetan envoys feel very confused about the power structure of the Jin Dynasty.

Mo Dong Zebu looked more optimistic, not like a few deputy envoys who looked sad and hateful, he heard this and asked with great interest: "I heard that there was a woman in the Han court who was the emperor before, will this princess Taiping also be the empress?" ”

Someone next to her took over and said: "The empress is Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, and there was a period of time in the middle of the Tang Dynasty that changed the name of the country to Zhou. Princess Taiping's surname is Li, if she is called the emperor, the country name of the Jin Dynasty will be changed to Tang? ”

A deputy envoy said: "With my understanding of the Central Plains, I am afraid that Princess Taiping will not dare to be the empress again, and the Han scholars will oppose it, and perhaps cause civil strife." If we can survive until that day, regardless of whether Chang'an agrees to move inward or not, there will definitely be local forces willing to borrow troops, and our Mo clan is originally an ally of the Jin Dynasty, so it will be logical to enter the Central Plains. ”

A few people gossiped for a while, and then continued to discuss the method. They stayed in the hall for three days, and they didn't go anywhere else, and they were ready to go to see Princess Taiping.

The summons in the Lin De Hall didn't talk much about business, from the Taiping princess to the officials of the Jin Dynasty, most of the time they were performing a complete set of etiquette, and the words they said were high-sounding and irrelevant to the facts, and then there were banquets, songs and dances. The Tibetan envoys mentioned serious matters, but were told that officials from the Ministry of Etiquette had a detailed discussion with them.

When it was time to talk about business, the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Jin Dynasty had already made up their minds to refuse to move inward, and they were bent on persuading the Mo clan to carry it hard, and the imperial court would increase its assistance to Yunyun. Suedong Zebu declared that he would be exterminated by the army of the city of Logo, and listed the tragic situation and losses of several defeats.

After waiting for a few more days, a reply was given in the name of Princess Taiping, and next spring there would be an increase in free assistance to the weapons, armor, food, and clothing of the Mo clan; He also opened a mutual market in the Helong area, and gave one billion dollars to the Mo regime in quarters, so that they could order the materials that the Jin Dynasty lacked. In addition, after promising that the Eastern Front of the Jin Dynasty and the war in the Western Regions would be stable, he directly sent troops to Tubo to help the Mo clan fight against Luo Qicheng.

The meaning of the imperial court is one sentence: I pay the money, you must resist it. Modong Zebu and others also understood that the people in power in the Jin Dynasty did not care whether they lived or died at all, and believed that the Moshi would not surrender, and would rather they be wiped out than allow them to move inward.

Modong Zebu did not come in vain, at least he won so much funding. However, this was not the purpose of the Sue clan, and Suedong Zebu's men believed that progress would only be possible if they tried to make contact with the city of Luo and make Chang'an genuinely worried about their surrender. G
