662, it came at an inopportune time
Songtsen Gampo appeared in front of Jingwen and took the initiative to confess his identity to Jingwen. Because Songtsen Gampo knew that instead of remaining in the crowd of soldiers, he would definitely be beheaded. Therefore, it is better to take the initiative to come out, so that you may be able to win a glimmer of life. Although he didn't know who Jingwen was, it was better than continuing to hide among the soldiers and be beheaded together. Therefore, Songtsen Gampo took the initiative to come out, and he immediately knelt down towards Jingwen.
"General, Xiao Wang, I don't know the height of the sky, I took the initiative to invade the territory of the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Wang knows that he deserves death, but I still ask the general to forgive me." Songtsen Gampo knelt down very spinelessly and said.
Songtsen Gampo is a generation of heroes, he is not a very backbone person, if his life is in danger, his first consideration is to save his life, not for the so-called dignity to die. Now that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, of course he has to take the initiative to intercede, so that Jingwen can let him go for the sake of his intercession.
However, Jingwen did not hide his murderous spirit at all, and obviously had a murderous intention for Songtsen Gampo, that is, he must get rid of this Songtsen Gampo. Only by getting rid of Songtsen Gampo can Tibet never rise. There are too many accidental factors in the rise of Tibet, and this biggest accidental factor is Songtsen Gampo, the "Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor" of Tibet. The reason why the Tibetans in Tibet in later generations are still supported by the Tibetans is because he really brought civilization to Tibet, just like the Han people respected the ancestor of humanity, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. If Songtsen Gampo is killed now, there is a seventy or eighty percent chance that the civilization that Tubo has just acquired will degenerate again and then collapse. Therefore, the fate of Tubo is completely tied to Songtsen Gampo, as long as Songtsen Gampo is dead, the problem is not very big, and Tubo will not have any threat.
"Pull this guy down and give me ......" Jing Wengang wanted to order this Songtsen Gambula to go down and kill him. And that Songtsen Gampo had a dead face, obviously he knew that Jingwen had made up his mind to kill him.
"The Divine Decree has arrived!" A voice said.
This voice interrupted Jingwen's order, and those who were just about to obey Jingwen's order also stopped, ready to obey Jingwen to take the order.
A middle-aged man in his thirties and forties came to Jingwen, but he was obviously not a eunuch, he should be a civil official of the outer court.
"Cen Shilang?" Jingwen asked.
This guy is called Cen Wenwen, and he is the deputy Zhongshu Shilang of Zhongshu Province, and he is already a quasi-prime minister. If the emperor appreciates, add a governor to the government. That can be said to mean that you have the right to discuss national affairs in the government hall. But now he doesn't, but Jingwen knows that it won't be long before he can have it. Now that the prime minister in the political hall Wang Qi is ready to retire, Cen Wenwen is also a popular candidate to take over. Not necessarily him, of course, because he may not be old enough. He is only in his thirties, and he is not a dragon hero who follows Li Shimin, so it is a little difficult to take over as prime minister in his thirties. However, Jingwen knows that he will definitely be able to become the prime minister in this life, which has been proven by history.
"General Jingwen, now I will read the emperor's decree!" That Cen Wenwen said.
"The edict said. The military affairs in the northwest are busy, and I ...... He was specially appointed as the supervisor of the Western Army, responsible for dealing with the affairs after the war in Tibet. Cen Wenwen announced.
And Jingwen listened. I knew it smelled right away. Since the last turmoil in the palace, Li Shimin's trust in Jingwen has been discounted, and he doesn't trust Jingwen so unconditionally. Now that Jingwen is the envoy of the Western Army, Li Shimin is no longer so relieved. And. Coupled with the eldest grandson Wuji's slander, perhaps Li Shimin was even more uneasy, so he sent a prison guard. But. Li Shimin also knew that the military was the most taboo and the power and responsibility were not clear, so he at least stipulated Cen Wenwen's right to deal with post-war affairs. In other words, in the course of the war, Jingwen still has absolute power, but once the war stops, the status of Na Cen Wen will be anti-guest, and in turn it will be able to have more say. Especially in dealing with the aftermath of the Tibetan war, it can be decided in a word.
And Songtsen Gampo heard this decree beside him, and he immediately understood the meaning of this decree. In fact, few people know that the enlightenment teacher of Songtsen Gampo was Han Chinese, and at that time, when Tibet was still a "big tribe", some Han people were displaced to them. As a result, he was forcibly left by his father to be a teacher for himself, and later learned the civilization of the Han people, which is why he became so intelligent. So he understood the meaning of the Han people, and when he heard that this person was now able to deal with the aftermath, he immediately knew that his chance to survive had come.
"My lord, help!" Songtsen Gampo shouted.
And Cen Wenwen saw this situation and took the initiative to ask: "Who is he?" ”
"My lord, I'm Tubo Zampu! Equivalent to your emperor in the Central Plains, oh no, I'm just a little king, I can't be compared to an emperor. My lord, this general was going to kill me just now! Songtsen Gampo said immediately.
And Cen Wenwen immediately asked Jingwen: "He is also the king of a country, how can you kill indiscriminately?" If I die on the battlefield, then I have nothing to say. But since you have captured him, then you can't dispose of it without permission, you should send it back to Chang'an and hand it over to the emperor to dispose of! ”
The meaning of Cen Wen is obvious, that is, the monarch of the enemy country cannot be disposed of by the generals at the front, but must be handed over to the emperor of the capital to deal with himself. Of course, if he died on the battlefield, the emperor would not say anything. But since you have captured him, you still want to kill him, so naturally you will not give the emperor face. And now that Cen Wenwen has come here, he naturally has to stop Jingwen's behavior. Cen Wenwen is a civil official, so naturally he has to handle it according to the routine, and he can't let Jingwen kill Songtsen Gampo casually.
"It is true that good people do not live long, but evil lives for a thousand years. Lord Cen, it's not the right time for you to come! Jingwen complained.
This Cen Wenwen didn't come early or late, and he actually waited for Jing Wen to come when he wanted to kill Songtsen Gampo, and it seemed that it was obviously impossible to kill Songtsen Gampo. Now that the war is on the verge of ending, all the aftermath matters have to be handled by Cen Wenwen, so Jingwen has little say in this regard. It is impossible for Jingwen to directly confront the prison army in public, after all, Cen Wenwen is a person sent by the emperor, so naturally he can't just hard-top. Therefore, Jingwen could only complain about the sentence just now. (To be continued......)
