Section 52: The Nightmare of the Tang Dynasty
This is the Tang Dynasty, Lu Dongzan is powerful and difficult to do, I have to agree with Tang Jian's words, the loss of money Lu Dongzan does not care, the five-color jade bi given to the emperor on the gift list must be found, the treasure that Songtsan Gampo got back from the expedition to the Dongnu Kingdom is related to the success or failure of the marriage with the Tang Dynasty, Songtsan Gampo is ambitious to unify the plateau, but the manpower and material resources are limited, and the expedition to the Dongnu Country once makes the Songtsan Gampo ethnic group and his own ethnic group impoverished.
There is no shortage of rare jade, gold and silver on the plateau, what is lacking is the iron tools that can be used as weapons, as well as silk and linen, whenever Lu Dongzan saw that the woodcutters of the Tang Dynasty were holding iron firewood knives and axes, he appeared in front of his eyes those brave and good warriors on the Tubo Plateau, holding a wooden fork to charge.
Only noble warriors are worthy of hard and sharp steel, Lu Dongzan can't wait to snatch those knives and axes from the woodcutters and butchers with his own hands, in fact, along the way, those soldiers have exchanged all their money for steel products, and they came to Datang to bring five hundred unarmed attendants, hoping to bring back five hundred fully armed elite soldiers when they go home.
Now that more than 300 people are gone, the brave Tibetan warriors saw the skeletons in the box that could click and move their jaws, and also saw the dry human hand that wanted to drag the jade bi to hell.
The frightened warrior pointed to the curse of the heavens and the earth, and it was not people who robbed him of his goods, but the ghosts of the earth, and only the most powerful teachers could deal with them, and these people who were as humble as pasture grass did not dare to fight with the gods, and after saying this, they sang songs without caring about anything, all of which were songs praising the gods of the mountains, the lakes, and the gods of the earth, hoping to be blessed by them.
This made a wise man like Lu Dongzan very painful, since the great sage of Zhangxiong Dunba Sherab created the Bon religion. On the plateau, nothing is not a god, the god of snow-capped mountains, the god of barley, the god of cattle and sheep, the god of the earth, and the god of the lake. The god of the mountain, the god of stones, as long as you see the incomprehensible phenomenon, there will be one more god who comes out, the people of Tibet have not yet opened their wisdom, there is no one in ten thousand who knows how to write, and countless masters and rulers have burned their hands, and they need to be sacrificed when they walk. The Guru said that this was the result of offending the gods, and that if the sacrifice was to eat the cattle and sheep as food, it would be just to find a lot of firewood and burn all the precious food, the furs, and only the green smoke that curled in the wind could exempt them from their sins.
At the beginning of the annual great sacrifice, a pyre with a radius of tens of zhang is placed. It is full of cattle and sheep, and fine furs. Tsamba rice, barley, ghee, and sometimes beautiful slave girls, such a big sacrifice, Songtsen Gampo ordered twice. The third time he really couldn't do it, so he asked Lu Dongzan to replace him and lit a fire, Lu Dongzan himself didn't leave the house for three days, because he ordered the guards to tie himself up. He was afraid that if he couldn't bear it, he would take a knife and hack all those fat-headed and big-eared teachers to death.
When Songtsen Gampo thought he was sick, and came to see him, he saw him bound himself, patting the carpet sadly and singing: O holy Gangdis mountain,
Though thou art famous,
It's just that the huge body is wrapped in snow;
The beautiful holy lake of Mapanyongcuo,
Though your reputation spreads,
Just wave after wave,
Wise Lu Dong praise,
Why do you bind yourself,
Are you angry and want to fight?
Mount Kinabalu Gangdis,
Thou art fame;
The white and spotless mountaintops,
It is a testimony to the holiness of my heart.
The Holy Lake Ma Pan Yongcuoyo,
Wave after wave,
Wash away the evil thoughts of the world.
Wise Lu Dong praise,
Go to the fattest land in the world,
Go to the most majestic emperor,
Bring his daughter back.
The majestic Gangdis Mountains.
I have no sacrifice to give,
O my people
Starving.
Listening to the singing of Songtsan Gampo, who was both civil and military, Lu Dongzan took the escort down the plateau without hesitation, wanting to marry back a real princess for his king, and at the same time bring back the most advanced skills of the Tang Dynasty.
But his journey was not smooth, he took a fancy to a very good little girl and wanted her to be his daughter-in-law, but people were unwilling, and they worked hard to have a good relationship with Datang Xungui these days, but because of their recklessness, they offended Yun Ye and became difficult, and everyone was waiting for the battle between themselves and Yun Ye, and only when the winner was determined would they express their position.
Lu Dongzan has seen Yun Ye twice, once when he laughed arrogantly at the bow of the boat, and once when he drank and got drunk this time, such a morally corrupt gentleman, why do many nobles have to look at his face? Could it be that my dignified Tubo appearance, the invincible Lu Dongzan, and the wise and unparalleled Lu Dongzan are not as good as a flashy child in their eyes? At this moment, Lu Dongzan also wanted to get drunk!
Yun Ye slept until dusk, then he covered his head and got up in pain, Xin Yue, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly supported him, and a bowl of warm white porridge was swallowed by Yun Ye in two bites, but unfortunately, just swallowed, he immediately spit it out, and not a grain of rice entered his stomach.
After spitting up, he wiped the tears that were squeezed out, looked around, and said to Xin Yue: "This is not our family." β
The anxious Xin Yue helped him lie down and said: "This is the Wude Palace, Your Majesty ordered the imperial doctor to send you here, husband, Uncle Cheng, they are really, how can they drink you like this, you used to be drunk and took the little bell as a concubine, but now it's good, drunk on the Jinluan Palace, fortunately, Your Majesty is not surprised." β
"Who says I'm not weird?" Li Er's voice came in from outside the temple gate, only to see Li Er and the eldest grandson walking in from the outside, Xin Yue hurriedly saluted, Yun Ye wanted to get up and struggled twice, his arms were weak, and he lay on the bed again, and said to Li Er apologetically: "The minister is rude, so get up." β
"If you can't get up, lie down, anyway, it's not once or twice that you have been rude in front of me, Xin, you stand down, I have something to ask you about this drunken husband." Li Er sat on the chair opposite the bed and asked Xin Yue to go out, and the eldest grandson took Xin Yue's hand and walked out together.
The two women went out, and Li Er immediately rushed to Yun Ye and looked down at him and asked curiously, "Boy, how did you do it?" He Tianyan has found countless mysteries until now, if there are no these mysteries, I will definitely not suspect you, but the whole thing is done without leakage, only ghosts and gods can do it, I think it must be you who did it, talk about it, I am curious. β
"It's true that Weichen did it, this guy bullied my daughter, didn't break him into pieces, it's already cheaper for him, Your Majesty, I admit it in front of you, I won't admit it when I go out and kill him." Yun Ye said very single.
"Well, yes, it's a bit responsible, a little loyal, if I don't ask, don't you plan to say it? His heart can be punished! Li Er was very satisfied with Yun Ye's answer, in front of himself Yun Ye can tell the truth, it is rare, ordinary people don't have the courage, in the absence of solid evidence, they will only deny it in every possible way, proving that Yun Ye does treat himself as a trustworthy elder, not a high-ranking emperor, he deliberately changed into a regular uniform just now, and he intends to pass on this signal. The clever kid made the right choice.
"If Your Majesty doesn't ask, Wechen will naturally not say, but the five-colored jade is to find a chance to be sent to the palace anyway, and the five-colored jade is something that His Majesty can only have, and it is a big trouble for Weichen to keep it."
"Don't worry about Yubi for now, tell sΓΉ me, how did you scare the Tubo people so much?" Li Er poured himself a bowl of tea and held it in his hand, intending to listen to the long story, as for what Lu Dongzan thought at this time, he didn't think about it at all.
"Actually, it's Lu Dongzan who set up camp by himself, do you remember that there is a miscellaneous steward in the academy named Yellow Rat?"
"The grave robber, you say? Could it be that the camp of Lu Dong Zanxuan was originally on top of an abandoned tomb, and the bottom was empty? No wonder the whole ground will collapse, yes, the first mystery is solved. β
"You know, the little girl Yundui was bullied, the grandmother was very angry, and issued a family order to discount the doglegs of the Tubo people, the yellow squirrel inadvertently went to Xinfeng City, and when passing by the Xiliu camp, he found that Lu Dongzan actually chose the camp on a Han mound that was hollowed out by Cao Cao, according to his judgment, the treasures of the Tubo people are here, in order to give the little girl anger, he plans to clean up the Tubo people and teach them a lesson......"
And then you think it's a lesson anyway, so you might as well teach a deeper lesson, yes or no? So more than 300 Tubo people died, sue sΓΉ me, you don't need such a big battle to give your daughter anger, what are you going to do? β
Yun Ye slowed down for a while, and finally had some strength in his body, so he sat up and gave Li Er Shili and said: "The Tubo people came this time, and they did have something to ask me for the Tang Dynasty, they Tubo have just relied on more than 10,000 people from Songtsan Gampo to pacify the Quartet, although they have laid down a large part of the Dongnu country, this time they retreated from Dongqiang, not because they can't fight, but because the national strength is not good, the Tubo people have a strong personality and are very brave in battle, but they are the same as the tribes on the grassland, they are all independent, Unable to twist all his strength into a rope, Songtsen Gampo wanted to recuperate, intending to break the tribes on the plateau one by one.
However, the Tibetan people have a very bad habit, that is, they have nothing to do, they like to put food and other things on the fire and burn them to ashes, and dedicate them to the gods, even if they are hungry, they must take care of the gods first, and if they have such a bad habit, they still talk about recuperation, as long as there is a little surplus, they will burn it immediately, so it is useless to recuperate for a thousand years. β
"I know the movements of the Tibetan people, how did you know that the Tibetan people like grain utensils?"
"Your Majesty, the Tubo people also have writing, but their way of remembering is singing, Wechen has heard some songs, besides, the Tubo sacrifice is not a big secret, as long as you pass the guΓ² caravan, you can know that the reason why Wechen made a dead hand is that he is unwilling to let the purpose of the Tubo people be achieved, no matter what his purpose is, Weichen only needs to destroy, once such a fierce nation gets rid of ignorance, it will be a nightmare for my Tang Dynasty." (To be continued......)
