Troubles inside and outside, the Wang family and Tubo are connected by the same fate. Because of the crop failure, although the front line returned to the pre-war stalemate, the original plan to defeat and defeat the main force of the Tang army fell through, and tens of thousands of elites were caught in vain, not to mention that a series of crises also triggered a scandal between the young ruler of Tibet, Mangsong Mangzan, and the power minister Lu Dongzan.

Mangsong Mangtsen is the grandson of Songtsen Gampo, after the death of Songtsen Gampo in the first year of Yonghui, Mangsong Mangzan, who was less than 14 years old, ascended to the throne of Tubo with the support of the great minister Lu Dongzan and Princess Wencheng. The new monarch was young, and Lu Dongzan, as one of the most relied on assistants of Songtsen Gampo, relied on the extremely high prestige and huge power established in China by the achievements of promoting the economic, trade and cultural exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and Tu Heqin in the country, and became the best choice to assist the new monarch.

In the early days, Lu Dongzan's talent and superb diplomatic skills made Tubo gain a big leap in the exchange between Tang and Tu, which won the trust of Princess Wencheng and supported Lu Dongzan in several political group disputes, and established the old man's strong position in the country.

But as time passed, the quasi-puppet monarch Mangsong Mangzan gradually became dissatisfied with Lu Dongzan's brutal behavior in the country, and Princess Wencheng, as the guardian of the monarch, was inseparable from Mangsong Mangzan in terms of family affection and interests, and the sharp political contradictions with Lu Dongzan became increasingly intensified, and gradually stood on the opposite side of Lu Dongzan.

After decades of recuperation, Tibet's military, agriculture, and manufacturing industries have made great progress, and Lu Dongzan's ambitions have soared due to the expansion of national strength and increasingly intensified political contradictions. In order to divert domestic contradictions and once again show his unparalleled ability, he tried to establish a higher prestige in the country while suppressing the increasingly powerful Xinjun forces in one fell swoop, taking advantage of the lack of military strength of the Tang Empire's expedition to the Western Turkic Longyou, despite the opposition of Princess Wencheng and Mangsong Mangzan, and under strong political pressure, he brazenly launched a large-scale military invasion against Tuyuhun.

Together in the war, the Tibetan army did achieve brilliant results. In an instant, the iron cavalry swept away, and most of Tuyuhun's territory fell into the bag, which made Lu Dongzan arrogant, and once had the idea of replacing a new king. As the prime minister of a country, power is at its peak, and ambition triumphs over reason is a dangerous beginning. There was a great deal of aggression from abroad, and domestic political disputes were fueled by the change of a new monarch.

At the same time, Lu Dongzan, who was fighting on two fronts, ignored the fact that the Tang Empire had prioritized the possible invasion of Tuyuhun by Tubo before the conquest of the Western Turks. In the peerless art of war, Wang Xiu, together with the unemployed Princess Lanling, led a group of profit-hungry people in the inner government to poison the fragile ecological system of Tibet.

Although the results of the deduction are depressing, the skills of the professional veteran gamblers who have been tempered by thousands of troops and horses are not comparable to the newcomers in the foreign casino like Lu Dongzan, especially the strength of the players led by the two sides in the gambling king competition is far from the same, and the Tang Empire in order to ensure that the chips of Tuyuhun are not lost, and at the same time sent Cheng and Su two nuclear-level players to participate in the competition, which increased the difficulty of the Tubo State to win the championship.

Heaven is not as good as people. With Lu Dongzan's Chinese foundation, it was obvious that he could not understand such profound words, and the damned Western Turks seemed to be playing a double reed with the Tang Empire, and collapsed at an alarming speed. Poor Lu Dongzan fought for himself for a month when he raised the army, and the advantage suddenly came to naught. It is conceivable that Lu Dongzan's expression when the Tubo people retreated from defense in order to avoid a decisive battle with the morale of the Tang Empire returning to the plains to support the army, must have been very aggrieved. In front of the face and possibly Princess Wencheng's fingers that cooperate with the scolding of the street and the spitting star, if you add Mangsong Mangzan's gloating expression...... "Change, don't you want to change it?" You're here to change it......"

This is infuriating, especially during the two years of confrontation. Lu Dongzan doesn't know if it's because of the lack of virtue or the genetics of the family, the yield of barley that can be planted in the climate of the Tubo Plateau has been open to square meters, or cubic meters, anyway, it is very miserable. What is hateful is that the trade between China and the Tang Empire is thriving, and such a prosperous business exchange should have done everything as you like, but everyone began to cry out that they were hungry.

Hunger is terrible for this thing, as the ruling class. You lack morality, you bully men and women everywhere, you loot the people's fat and people's cream, even if you participate in the couple-swapping party, as long as the people have food and clothing, everyone still supports you to continue to be shameless. No matter how diligent you are in government and love the people, you can't resist a bunch of hungry ghosts who fight famine, you just sleep on three watches and get up on five watches, and you love the people like a father with a clean breeze on your sleeves. Everyone will also be happy to cook it in the pan for you. It's time to be unlucky.

Good things come in pairs. In order to save a little face, he gritted his teeth and swore to carry out a large-scale surprise attack in the late spring, hoping to defeat the main force of the Tang army in one fell swoop and recover the lost fruits of victory. It's a pity that if someone else is replaced, Tubo may be able to succeed, but one Cheng Zhijie, one Su Dingfang, especially the old man Cheng's family has a huge farm with no friends and a lack of labor, no matter how big the meat bun is, you can't beat the dog!

Unlucky, Lanling, the most valuable unemployed person of the year, took a copy of the report sent back to the Didi by the secret agent who walked in Tubo, and was giving me a explanation, "How is it? ”

"Interesting." It's been a few years, and for the first time, I know this largest neighbor so thoroughly, and I was especially excited to hear the name Princess Wencheng, "The princess who married is still alive, and she is not too old." They all began to assist their grandchildren, and they were born too quickly. ”

"He said he was a grandson, but he was not a parent. I'm in my thirties, which isn't too old. "Lanling is more sensitive to age, and has repeatedly emphasized that thirty years old is not too old, "Speaking of still having a bit of prestige in Tubo, as for power, it is not comparable to Lu Dongzan at all." As a foreigner and relative, no matter how great his prestige is, he will not gain the trust of others, especially since the two countries have always been suspicious of each other, and it is not easy to live to this age. ”

"Yes, it's not easy. What's the matter with us? "It's not easy to stuff cucumbers into your mouth without heart and lungs, it's not easy to eat cucumbers on the wheat harvest, and the blessing of Tolan Ling has been enjoyed a month earlier than others.

"She's building a temple," Lan Ling chuckled and handed over a small plate of frosting, "If you eat it, you're just a vegetable grower." Also this eating portrait. ”

"Don't insult my profession! Growing vegetables is pitiful, pig raisers may not have meat to eat, and those who build temples may not believe in Buddhism. Recently, I can't see sugar, and I can't eat it if I dip it. "A few days ago, Ying said that the hawthorn saved last year would be chaff if you didn't eat it, and the sugar gourd was made all over the mountains, and even the money housekeeper ate the ground, and one day covered her mouth and shouted that her teeth fell and she couldn't live." The Tibetan people don't believe in Buddhism, right? Remember the foreign businessmen in Tibet? Before and after, the gods screamed and called, without him, we didn't know that the bird's beak could be made into jewelry. ”

"There is a belief in Buddhism. There is a belief in the local religion, and there is a tendency to be incompatible. Often, political affiliations have something to do with religion. Tubo is now with a blaster with a fire, and any small dispute can explode. It's not just religion, but now the two factions are incompatible, especially after the battle of Tuyuhun, Lu Dongzan is like a pins and needles, and the new monarch is ready to move. But whoever destroys who is not in the interests of our dynasty has to find a way to keep the two factions fighting. ”

"Are you counting on Princess Wencheng?" It stands to reason that Wencheng and Lanling are cousins. Lan Ling's idea of beating her cousin was not surprising.

"How can you count on her? If you marry outside, it's not the Li family, have you ever seen a daughter-in-law who elbowed her mother's house? ”

"Yes," I nodded vigorously, "you are!" ”

"Go!" Lan Ling smiled and threw a cucumber head back, carrying an eye wave. "Lang Jun will marry the concubine back, will you try it? Let's see who we turn to. ”

"Oh, it's harder. If you really want to come, I will learn from Princess Wencheng to build a temple. ”

"If you don't have a conscience. I used to talk about this pain in my heart, but I don't feel this way anymore. Lan Ling sprinkled the icing sugar evenly on the cucumber plate nonchalantly. Each one is stained. "Eat."

"I said I didn't care, and I started to make trouble. Okay, okay, every time I like to mention inexplicable things, I know that it is difficult and I still stab myself in the heart, and the two of them are looking for death and life. Lifting a cucumber, he shook it and bit it hard, "Speaking of Tibet, let's get down to business." ”

"I don't want to answer you." Lan Ling put away the newspaper on the table. "Uncle Cheng has already taken advantage of the three forks, and the casualties are greater according to this style of play, and it is also cost-effective to open up the passage with Jiannan. A few days later, the news of our army's great victory spread to Nanzhao, and Tubo is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and Nanzhao will definitely fall to the Tang Dynasty. One after the other made trouble against Tibet, so that it could not take care of the beginning and the end......"

"It's not good," Lan Ling flipped out the newspaper in his hand and spread it out on the table again. "Don't worry. The fire is big and the meat is not rotten, so doing this can only make Tubo change internally. Either Lu Dongzan dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, desperate to establish a new monarch and turn the tide. Either Mangsong Mangzan's kid took the opportunity to seize power with a whole force and change his appearance, Tubo is not another country, and we can't take advantage of the temporary turmoil, and once the political situation is stable, it will become a threat again. Since it is going to be long-lasting, the external pressure is enough, or it has gone too far. ”

"Think about it," Lanling flipped through the newspapers one by one, frowning, "The arrow is on the bow, I have to send it." The plan to instigate the Southern Zhao cannot be abandoned, and Tuyuhun our army regained morale, and it was when the drum went down, and it was not appropriate for either side to stop. ”

yes, no one can stop. Nanzhao doesn't say it, it belongs to the long-term national policy, but now whoever dares to let Cheng and Su stop the two generals, directly Tang traitor's big hat will be buckled, and he will never be able to turn over. Both of them climbed on the table to think, in exactly the same posture. "Do you want Tubo to shout to stop?"

"He shouted a few times, back and forth." Lan Ling flipped aimlessly, "Since last year, I have sent envoys to deliver messages to each other. But now that he occupies a large area of Tuyuhun's territory, if he is not driven back, Tuyuhun will lose his integrity and have no reason to stop. ”

"What about Tuyuhun? What if Tuyuhun is willing to stop? The higher our army fought, the higher it was, the more unaccustomed it was to fighting on the plateau, and the unnecessary casualties were increasing. Tuyuhun is different, adapting to the plateau climate, and there is also a set of mountain warfare. Now that all kinds of contradictions in Tubo are prominent, and the unfavorable situation of the war is like making matters worse, under the strategy of our army, let the Tuyuhun soldiers take advantage of a few handfuls, and then convey the words of peace to Tubo and Tuyuhun on both sides, and the two countries will sit at the negotiation table, and we will take the opportunity to take advantage of both sides. ”

"Huh......" Lan Ling's eyes flashed, "Fresh, how to take advantage?" You talk about it. ”

"Count, count how many people we have killed and injured and need to be appeased and supported, how much food we have eaten, how many weapons have been used, how many people have been troubled, how many children have been delayed to practice martial arts, and how many sugar gourds and cucumbers we have consumed for national affairs......" blocked several hidden weapons in Lanling, and said with a smile: "Calculate clearly before and after, and sell them to Tubo if they are two, three, or five times as much." Although it is a little difficult, according to the cost of our army. Even if he doesn't double Tubo, he can't afford to compensate, and he can't turn over for hundreds of years. Think about it, generations of people owe us debts, and they don't have the face to greet us when they go out, not to mention fighting, they ask for money when they open their mouths, even if he calls, they are not so angry. ”

"Lack of virtue," Lan Ling laughed heartily after hearing this. "It's also a way, Tugu Hun has the benefits, naturally it's not easy to pursue it too tightly, the plateau is a barren land for us, fighting for it, it's not cost-effective, it's better to get money and food." Lan Ling said this and chuckled, "I responded to your words, let's stand here and talk without backache." Tuyuhun would be angry if he knew that we were going to do so. ”

"If you don't say this, I won't say it, anyway, you and Du Feng are together, and it is most suitable for him to come forward." Thinking of Du Feng's face again, he tried hard to circle a lot of fertile land towards Du's family two days ago. The third son actually killed the host of Longyou personally when he was young, I hated it, I don't know why, I always look at him unpleasantly.

"He should have said it." Lan Ling pursed his lips and pushed at me. "You're just a troublemaker, and the saint still asks," the emperor looked at him steadily: "What...... Did the Wang kid have any bad ideas recently? This kid is terrible! ”

"Don't slander, you have to be responsible for what you say!" It is so sad to say the words of the dignified head of state, the most important comment in my life, to say it like this. "Don't talk about me outside. In the future, if this kind of comment reaches my ears, I will not live! ”

Tubo, pitiful, I have to find food to eat, and I have to catch birds everywhere and break my beaks, and I have to save money in my busy schedule to buy all kinds of luxury goods transported by the inner government, oh, and Princess Wencheng loves to repair the temple. How much does it cost? Between the local religion and the foreign religion. Between the monarch and the prime minister, between the well-fed and the hungry. Forget it, if you think about it, you can't help it, and you have to beat people at both ends, how cruel.

"Oh, yes." Before leaving, he confessed to Lanling: "Isn't there a lot of tribes in Tubo, what kind of head people and babies and the like, slaves sound like a lot, if people can't get so much money out during the negotiation, let's convert a part of it and let him take the labor top." I didn't see that everyone was in a hurry recently, and that day I asked Cui Chang to give relief to the relief point of the victims in Goryeo, and the kid also blackmailed me for a sum of money as a matter of course, and I was not a little righteous. After speaking, he followed the castration of the cucumber head, and took the road away.

Wang's Zhuangzi has a bumper harvest this year, and the owner of the family has personally cultivated the miraculous seeds to make the farmers overjoyed. It's so beautiful, compared with the farmers in other villages, it is simply more grain than the self-cultivated farmers. The farmers on the old village of the Wang family have enjoyed the blessings in recent years, and they have been receiving preferential treatment from the main family since the establishment of the flower water workshop, and the remuneration for money, grain, especially the most favorable purchase contract for eggs and the spinning of cotton seeds for cotton peeling, is more cost-effective than working in the farmland for a year.

Gradually become rich old village farmers to the new merger and acquisition of the new village has a leading effect, weaving workshop as soon as the opening of the village full of women in response to the call of the Wang family have signed up, men in the outside farming, women have also entered, the old people can raise chickens can also settle a pen, leisure from the master of the family received cotton spinning and weaving to subsidize the family.

The most popular is the private school, and the child sent it to the school to recognize and write, which has become the symbol of the Wang family Zhuangzi. There is a world of difference between those who have worked for generations and those who are literate and literate, both in terms of identity and treatment. Now that the descendants have a tendency to transform into cultural people, not to mention how likely it is, but with the fact that he was only in his twenties, he almost worshipped the wife of the head of the family, at least he saw something that he couldn't think of before, and as soon as he had a little hope, he lived.

Turning around in the Zhuangzi, the farmers are all harvesting wheat and laughing into a sieve, this mention is the grace of the Lady of the Decree, the second daughter has shown her face frequently recently, so some people have a high evaluation of this young and beautiful second lady, especially the department store that has just opened. This is unfair, too unfair, not interesting, drinking water and not forgetting the well diggers, I finally embezzled some good seeds from under the nose of King Liu Yan, not to mention praising my fearless spirit of sacrificing myself, all merits are deducted from the brain. As soon as the little marquis is mentioned, the prodigal son will not change his money, the eldest lady sincerely moved the former hooligan loser, although he occasionally loses once or twice, but he is not as defeated as the original, progress, this is progress, there is no such achievement without Mrs.

Unjustly, he shouted hello to the cloud girl who was busy working by the lotus pond, looking at the lotus leaves that stretched for hundreds of acres, as if he saw the scene of the fourth child sitting on the pile of lotus root flour and counting the money, it was too discordant.

"What are you anxious about?" As soon as I got home, I saw that Ying was busy working, and the housekeeper had already drawn the boundaries of the land, and planned to start building the women's dormitory after the wheat was harvested. "This wheat hasn't been beaten yet, I just said that I would rest at home for two days and toss."

"Mrs. Cui came over and said, it's only three months on the road, just taking advantage of the cotton harvest season, if you are not ready, thousands of eight hundred people will be placed there?"

"Let's say hello to the household first, since you don't want to fall into the hands of the slave traders, you can solve the household registration of so many people first."

"Anyway, the fourth child has found the steward of the inner government, anyway, they recruit people together, let's do it together with some money." Ying clapped her hands, "There is also a school, and now there are many children sent, so let's expand the school." ”

"You can lie," also expanded, looking at the school a few times, to be honest, according to the teachings of several gentlemen of the Wang family, it is better to send children to school than to send children to join the army. "Be careful to create retribution for the children of the wrong people!"
