Chapter 258: Forcing the Palace
Songtsen Gampo had always known that his brother Qi Zhenlun had a desire for the position of Zampu, but he did not expect that after the failure of the last incident with Qiren Laso, Qi Zhenlun had not given up that thought.
He once told Cai Bangsa that if he abandoned Zhenlun again, he would never be spared again, so when he found out that this brother was still a thief, he didn't immediately expose it.
After all, before there is no evidence, if the matter is broken, not to mention that his mother will not believe it, the courtiers will not believe it, even if he believes it, it is impossible to give any big punishment, and maybe he will say that he deliberately wronged Zhenlun in order to eradicate his younger brother.
Therefore, even when Dunzhu learned that there was collusion between Qu Zhenlun and Gongshan, Songtsen Gampo still did not move, but he wanted to see how his good brother planned to act.
Only by getting the evidence of the rebellion in the hands of the renunciation of Zhenlun, it is best to expose it on the spot and reveal it to the world, in that case, there is no need for Songtsen Gampo to say anything, and the courtiers will not agree to Cai Bangsa's use of her own identity to intercede or threaten, and gently let this matter go.
After all, rebellion and rebellion are not a crime that can be tolerated in any country.
This is also the reason why Songtsen Gampo has not been able to touch the archmage, there is no direct evidence, he can only wrestle with them in secret.
If the superior moves the people below, of course, there is no need for any reason. But when the forces of the two sides are relatively balanced, there must be evidence that can be put on the table to block the mouth of the world.
Therefore, Songtsen Gampo must hit with one blow, open the opponent's back hand and hole cards, and cut off the opponent's back road before he can use the lore technique.
Of course, it is impossible to abandon Zhenlun only to rely on Gongshan and Dunzhu, he has made friends with a lot of officials in private, because he knows the importance of military power, and deliberately woos some generals, thinking of simply coming to a forced palace, so that Songtsen Gampo personally promised to pass on the position of Zampu to him.
Under normal circumstances, it is naturally impossible for Songtsen Gampo to do that, if he just relies on forcing the palace, the idea of abandoning Zhenlun can only be said to be wishful thinking - after all, Songtsen Gampo's force value, as well as Lu Dongzan, who is loyal to him, and the generals of the four military regions, are not able to deal with Qu Zhenlun, at this time, the role of Gongshan is revealed, with him making Songtsen Gampo lose his mind, they can force and induce Songtsen Gampo to say something that is usually impossible to say.
And those civil and military generals who abandoned Zhenlun's contact were mainly used to deal with other disobedient people in the inner palace.
As long as he gets the edict of Songtsen Gampo and controls him, even if Lu Dongzan and them are not convinced, it will be too late.
The abacus of abandoning Zhenlun is playing well, and what he is waiting for is a good time.
As if God helped him, just when he was waiting for a good opportunity, Prince Lahman of Baida Hor led 100,000 troops and horses to attack Tibet, it is said that the men and horses have occupied Yushu, in order to expel the strong enemy as soon as possible, the Great Prime Minister Lu Dongzan took two officers and soldiers from the military field area closer to Luo to meet the battle.
In this way, the guards in the royal city were much emptier than usual, giving the abandonment of Zhenlun an opportunity to take advantage of.
Even so, Qi Zhenlun did not act rashly, and he only began his operation to force the palace after confirming that those officers and soldiers had left for three days under the leadership of Lu Dongzan.
Of course, such a thing can't be carried out in front of everyone, after thinking about it, Qi Zhenlun chose the day of Mu Xiu, and Songtsen Gampo wanted to give Cai Bangsa the opportunity to say hello, because on that day he also had to enter the palace to say hello, and he could force the palace without suspicion.
He was confident that as long as Songtsen Gampo said what he said, even if Cai Bangsa was angry, he would definitely favor him in the end.
And the head of the guards on duty in the Potala Palace that day has been replaced by the military generals he contacted, so what happens in the palace, as long as the palace gate is guarded, it is unknown outside.
When he got the edict of succession, even those courtiers who supported Songtsen Gampo were powerless.
What's more, Gongshan also hinted to him that as long as he got the edict of succession, the archmage would definitely support him.
Therefore, on this day, he was full of ambition and walked into the Potala Palace with a heart of victory.
He usually likes to dress in the wind like a jade tree, like a gentleman, but this time he is wearing a python robe that symbolizes his status as a prince, which is stable and noble, and the color and style of the prince's clothes look similar to the Zampu regular clothes that Songtsen Gampo usually wears.
Gongshan disguised himself as his retinue and followed him into the palace.
After entering the palace, Qi Zhenlun saw that the head of the guards on duty, as well as the people arranged by Dunzhu, all handed him a glance and said that he had made arrangements, and his heart couldn't help but be settled, and some excitement rose.
The people on duty were all his people, and Dunzhu had already handed over the ecstasy given by Gongshan to Danzhu and coaxed Songtsen Gampo to obey him...... It went so well.
The moment he stepped into the Langyue Palace, Qi Zhenlun felt that he had never been so complacent, he felt that he had won the battle, sitting in the snowy region, hearing the cheers of thousands of people in Tubo, and offering Hada to him.
The last time he rebelled, the reason why Qi Zhenlun hid behind Qiren Lasso was because he was not sure of victory, thinking that Songtsen Gampo and their snipe clam would fight, and he would be able to profit from the back. This is also an important reason why he was able to successfully take himself out under the maintenance of Cai Bangsa afterwards.
And this time, he felt that since God was helping him, it would be too wasteful not to act.
Seeing that with his gesture, the head of the guard had already arranged for someone to surround the Langyue Palace, and when the palace was unconscious and did not move for a minute, Qi Zhenlun was in a trance, and he was about to do Zampu? He is about to become the king of the snowy land, and the thousands of people of Tibet will submit to his feet?
The excitement in his heart was at its peak, and he was even a little nervous.
Because he was so excited, he didn't even notice that when they entered the Langyue Palace, no one passed it on, and they almost drove straight in.
After watching himself enter, Songtsen Gampo didn't notice it, and he was still sitting there drinking tea and laughing with Musa, not even giving himself an eye, and he couldn't help but be angry.
He sneered, "When is it, Bai Dahor's men and horses are about to hit the city, and Jianpu still has the heart to laugh and chat here?" Since you don't care about state affairs, why don't you let me serve your country? ”
Songtsen Gampo raised his eyes and looked at him, frowned, and said, "You are sparse and ordinary in civil and military affairs, how can you serve the country?" As long as you are your idle prince and don't cause trouble to this king, it can be regarded as serving the country. ”
His own literary and martial arts strategy is not much worse than that of Songtsen Gampo, but he was said by his brother to be so unbearable, and he didn't leave any affection for himself, and he was even more annoyed when he heard it, he smiled coldly, changed his usual attitude of respectful obedience in front of Songtsen Gampo, raised his head and raised his eyebrows: "As long as Jianpu is willing to listen, he will naturally know how I can serve the country." ”
"Bold." Cai Bangsa snorted lightly, "How dare you be so rude to you Jianpu? Although he is your Gamp, he is also your king, so you should call him Zampu like everyone else, why did you change his name today? Is it that you are spoiled on weekdays? You go back to the mourning family, go back to the house, and think about it behind closed doors. ”
Facing his own Musa, especially the Musa who would let her exert her strength later, Qi Zhenlun regained his usual smile, and said with a smile: "Musa, this is my matter with Jianpu, you don't care, let them help you to the apse to rest first, and when I talk to Jianpu about something, after talking about this matter, my son will greet you again." ”
Cai Bangsa still wanted to ask something, Li Yuntong had already stood up, held one of her arms, and said with a smile: "Maybe there was some misunderstanding between their brothers, so there was a dispute, we accompanied Musa to sit in the back, and waited for them to quarrel slowly, otherwise we are here, and their man's family has something to say, but it will become more and more stiff." ”
Because Chizun had heard Songtsen Gampo say two words before, saying that Qi Zhenlun might want to make trouble, let her no matter what, first protect the safety of herself and Musa, and avoid his worries, so she also got up and grabbed Cai Bangsa's other arm and said with a smile: "That's it, maybe the two of them will solve everything if they fight, didn't you ever say that when the two brothers were young, they often had to fight to win or lose, and they would live in peace when they ran out of energy in a fight." ”
Dunzhu also said: "Musa, the eldest brother always thinks that you are protecting the royal brother Zhenlun, and the royal brother Zhenlun always says that you are biased towards the eldest royal brother, you are sandwiched in the middle, and the two ends are not good, so simply go with them, anyway, with you, they can't make much trouble, you are here, in order to show off in front of you, but they want to compete for a high position, maybe, as soon as we leave, they will drink." ”
When Cai Bangsa heard this, he felt that this was the reason, so he stood up and said, "Okay, let's go to the back to drink tea and let them toss." But after thinking about it, she was still not at ease, and turned around and explained, "You should be careful, if you break the things in the mourning palace like when you were young, the mourning family will not spare you." ”
After everyone else was gone, the corners of Qi Zhenlun's lips were slightly hooked, and he looked at Songtsen Gampo to show the posture of a victor, "Did Jianpu ever feel that his head hurt a little?" ”
