Chapter 170: Three civil strife

Throughout the New Year, Chang'an was spent in a soothing and lazy atmosphere.

The civil strife in Tibet, the princes competing for the throne, were already too busy to take care of themselves, and the strategy of joining forces with the Turks naturally collapsed.

On Misa is the general of Tubo, he also has his own tribe, and there are princes who are most in line with the interests of himself and his tribe want to support, and now the male protagonist of Heqin is dead, what is he still doing in Chang'an, the next day after learning the bad news, he resigned in a hurry, rushed back to Tubo, and participated in the struggle for power.

Tubo's letting go made the Turks feel a little lonely, but the Turkic envoy Mo Hegan couldn't leave like the Misa, he was still stuck in Chang'an, Wu Zetian's attitude was obviously strong at this time, Mo Hegan asked for permission ten times and rarely once, the situation was stronger than people, and Mo Hegan couldn't be aggressive.

Out of the first month, the spring breeze gradually warmed up the earth, and the Great Zhou Dynasty also ushered in two happy events.

In order to avoid making peace with Tubo, King Xiang urgently selected a husband for the two oldest daughters Xianyuan and Shouchang, and now although Tubo is no longer forced to marry due to civil strife, it has been decided that the family affairs will naturally be held, so Wu Zetianxia edict for Shouchang and Xianyuan to marry.

Wu Zetian asked Luantai to surrender and said: "The princess of Xiangwang Shouchang County, the county lord of Xianyuan, and the spirit of Tianhan, gradually training the king's door, the quality of peach and plum, and the sex of Finland." The emperor and grandson will descend, and the people will inherit it, and the time will be long. Qing Temple Zhailang Cui Zhen, the prince left the imperial Xue Boyang, and the ground to attack the crown, bow to the famous teaching, the wind is beautiful, and the talent is rich. The occupation of the flying phoenix is auspicious; Riding the back of the dragon, it is advisable to lift it twice. The lord of Shouchang County can produce Shizhen, and the lord of Xianyuan County can produce Shiboyang......"

As soon as the will was given, the two families immediately prepared for the marriage, and in March, the marriage was held for the two county lords. At the wedding banquet, the daughters of the king gathered together. A table was also opened in the back house, and although they were young, they also ate some rice wine, after all, it was a happy day.

Qingyang raised his cup and said to the sisters: "The king of Tubo died violently, and my sisters were able to escape, this is all the credit of Shi Niang, all the sisters, don't raise the cup, let's pay tribute to Shi Niang for a cup." As a token of appreciation. ”

Qingyang was ridiculing Li Zhiying, and all the sisters raised their wine glasses when they heard it, Li Huawan was worried that the little sister would not be able to hang on her face, so she hurriedly pulled Qingyang's clothes, but it was too late.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhiying was not annoyed at all. She smiled lightly and raised her glass calmly. Received a respect from the sisters. The sisters only said that she was holding up the shelf, but Li Zhiying was secretly proud: "Hmph! I asked someone to help you resolve this matter, and I should be respected by you. ”

Li Zhiying had a preconceived idea, and had already decided that the tyrannical pawn of the king of Tubo was done by Yang Fan, but it was only because of the previous oath. She is also a very serious person, and it is difficult for her to reveal this secret to the public. In this little girl's heart, she already regards Yang Fan as a god.

In fact, as early as she heard the third brother talk about Yang Fan's clever strategy. When she rescued King Luling from Fangzhou to Luoyang, she had already respected Yang Fan as a celestial, if not, she would not have sought medical treatment in a hurry, thinking that as long as Yang Fan was willing to find a way, he could help her solve this catastrophe.

It was precisely because she had long thought that Yang Fan had unpredictable abilities that she attributed the death of Tubo Zampu to Yang Fan. However, Tubo Zanpu died of the Nanzhao miasma, although it was an unpredictable accident, but the idea of using Nanzhao to contain Tubo was indeed Yang Fan's idea, and the matter was also facilitated by him, but this result was not his means, and Li Zhiying guessed half right.

Tubo was in the army because of Zanpu's violent soldiers, and before he could arrange the aftermath, he was really in civil strife now.

When the two county lords of Xiangwangfu got married, Yang Fan had already received news from the inside line of Tubo that the matter of the princes of Tubo competing for hegemony had been "settled" and a new king was elected.

Seeing that the major tribes have their own masters, and the entire Tubo is about to fall apart, the queen mother did not have Lu's ruler Mari hurriedly came forward and listened to the government with the dignity of the queen mother.

After the queen mother listened to the government, she decisively set up her seven-year-old grandson to abandon the subordinate and praise as Zampu, and the mother of the abandoned subordinate and praise was called Zan Motuo, the family shili is extremely large, and the queen mother's family is also extremely powerful, and the two families work together, plus the queen mother's election of the king and grandson is a legitimate move, which determines the position of Zampu.

However, this is only to ensure the stability on the surface, the tribes and families behind the princes are not reconciled, the rapid decline of royal power has become a fact, and there is no strong power to suppress, many tribes began to do their own thing, and the royal decree has been difficult to implement the entire Tibet.

Yang Fan and Shen Mu evaluated after a meeting, thinking that Tubo would be in chaos for at least twenty years, and it was not until after this year of abandonment that he could become a generation of male lords like Songtsen Gampo, Tubo would recover. For at least 20 years, Tibet will no longer pose a threat to the Central Plains.

The assessment of the two people was reached after fully understanding the situation of all parties in Tibet and getting the detailed reference of many wise people in the "Heaven Viewing Department". In fact, he did not become a generation of heroes after abandoning his subordinates, and there was no generation of heroes like Songtsen Gampo in the subsequent generations of Tubo Zampu.

The decline of Tibet began at this time, and from this time on, Tibet has been going downhill until its demise.

The two county lords of Xiangwangfu got married for three days, and on the day they officially returned to the door, the Western Regions also came with good news from Tang Xiujing. When Tang Xiujing arrived in Broken Leaf City, he beat and pulled the tribes with the ten surnames, using both soft and hard, and opened empty checks as if they didn't want money, fooling the leaders of the ten tribes.

The lord of the ten surnamed tribes, Wu Zhile, was officially named the king of the county by the Great Zhou, and recognized him as the Turgish Khan, and he could justifiably kick Hu Sero away and officially become the lord of the ten surnamed tribes, which was regarded as getting the greatest benefit, so he readily agreed to send troops.

After all, the Eastern and Western Turks have become feuding since the split, and since he replaced Ashina Hu Sero as the lord of the Western Turks, it is his inevitable position to launch an attack on the Lord of the Eastern Turks.

Uzile has 200,000 soldiers, only half of Mosi, but Mosi's territory is too wide, and troops need to be stationed everywhere, especially in the border area with the Great Zhou, so the actual soldiers and horses that can be mobilized are not superior to Wuzile.

After learning the news, Mohegu also immediately changed his attitude. What he wants to do now is not to force marriage to Da Zhou. Instead, he made a gesture to the Great Zhou and worked hard to repair the relationship between the two countries, lest the Great Zhou join forces with the ten surnamed tribes and stab them in the back.

Yang Fan and Shen Mu, two good friends, were naturally extremely gloating about the fires in the backyards of the Tibetans and Turks, but they didn't expect that as soon as Wuzhou's external troubles were gone, internal strife also began.

This civil strife is naturally a war between Baiguan and Erzhang.

There has been constant friction between Erzhang and Baiguan, but the fuse that led to a full-scale war between the two sides was Zhang Changqi.

Zhang Changqi was impeached and demoted by the Imperial Historical Observatory last time. Wu Zetian pulled the bias, used the power of the emperor, and "demoted" him to Qizhou Cheng. Zhang Chang arrived in Qizhou, just in time for the joint invasion of Tibet and the Turks. Zhang Changqi complained bitterly, but he did not dare to abandon the city and flee. Fortunately, there were border troops stationed in front of them. I had to close the gates of the city and wait for the enemy with trepidation.

As a result, not long after, first Chen Daci won a great victory in Maozhou, so the soldiers and horses of Tubo did not dare to act rashly, and then Tubo Zampu personally recruited the six edicts, and as a result, he contracted the miasma and died in the army. The kings of Tibet competed for hegemony, an internal strife, and the troubles around the martial arts were lifted, which was considered to be in danger.

At this time. Zhang Changqi's cleverness came up, he pretended to lead the troops to "chase and kill" for a while, and even saw the shadow of the Tubo soldiers on the "triumphant class", Zhang Changqi immediately wrote that he defeated the invading enemy, and asked his cousins to ask for credit for him.

Erzhang had this reason, so he naturally begged Wu Zetian all day long, but Wu Zetian couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of these two lovers, so he had to agree to help Zhang Changqi find an official position. On the morning of this day, the Ministry reported that the history of Governor Yongzhou was vacant, and Wu Zetian immediately thought of her promise to her lover, so he looked around at the prime ministers and asked: "Governor Yongzhou is vacant, who can be competent?" ”

Wei Yuanzhong came out of the class and said: "Xue Jichang can do it. ”

This Xue Jichang was originally the governor of Yongzhou, and now he is the right doctor, much more noble than before, but not as powerful as before, Wei Yuanzhong wants this colleague and friend to be the governor of Yongzhou again. The Son of Heaven is old, and the change of the sky is imminent, and if you have more real power, you will have a greater grasp in the future.

Among the prime ministers, Yang Zaisi, Su Wei, Wei Chengqing, and Wei Sili all have a deep friendship with Erzhang, but this incident happened suddenly, and they did not get Erzhang's permission in advance, so naturally they would not nominate Zhang Changqi.

Wu Zetian knew that he couldn't count on the prime ministers' recommendations, so he took the initiative to mention it: "Xue Jichang has been in the capital for a long time, and I have another important use." Recently, Zhang Changqi repelled the enemy from Tubo and made a military exploit, I want Zhang Changqi to be the governor of Yongzhou, what do the prime ministers think? ”

Yang Zaisi, Su Wei and other prime ministers understood what Wu Zetian meant, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Bixia Shengming!" ”

Wei Yuanzhong came out of the crowd again, and said loudly: "Zhang Changqi can't be the governor of Yongzhou!" ”

Wu Zetian frowned slightly, and asked, "Why did Wei Xiang say this?" ”

Wei Yuanzhong said: "Zhang Changqi was young and ignorant, and he didn't understand local government affairs. In the short time he has been in office in Qizhou, it is even more difficult to talk about any experience. Yongzhou is the emperor's capital (Yongzhou is Jingzhao Mansion, governing Chang'an), and the government affairs are cumbersome, how can Zhang Chang be competent? Compared with Xue Jichang, this person can see the advantages and disadvantages at a glance. ”

Originally, all prime ministers had the right to recommend officials, but now Yang Zaisi, Su Wei and others have understood what Wu Zetian meant, as long as Wu Zetian insists on it again, these prime ministers will definitely come forward to help, but Wu Zetian also knows that Zhang Changqi is not qualified for the post of governor of Yongzhou in terms of seniority, talent, and prestige.

Wu Zetian pretended to be public and private, so he didn't have so much confidence, and when Wei Yuanzhong said it, he was silent. Yang Zaisi, Su Wei and others are all old slippery heads, and when they saw that the Son of Heaven didn't insist, they naturally wouldn't come forward to speak, in case something happened to Changqi in Yongzhou, they would also be responsible as the recommender, and the matter would not be resolved.

After Erzhang heard about this, he couldn't help but be furious, and Zhang Changzong slapped the case and shouted: "This Wei Lao'er has repeatedly embarrassed my Zhang family, it is bearable, which is unbearable!" ”

Zhang Yizhi, who has always been more stable than him, was also annoyed by Wei Yuanzhong, and said angrily: "This old thing who doesn't know how to lift really kicks his nose in the face, does he think that our Zhang family is easy to bully?" If you don't give him some color, this old decay will definitely be even more rampant! The two brothers discussed, and the revenge against Wei Yuanzhong immediately began.
