The city of the king of Tibet, in a partial hall.

"High Priest, I know, I know."

Zangpo looked at the old man in front of him, nodded and said,

"Everything is going according to plan, and it's going well."

"You, don't worry."

The old man in front of him was turning the magic weapon in his hand, and his face was as dry and wrinkled as tree bark.

"Songtsen Gampo turned his back on the gods and angered the old man."

The high priest's voice was hoarse, but there was resentment in his tone,

"He deserves to be killed!"

Zangbu smiled.

"High priest, you don't have to be so angry, eldest brother, he just introduced Buddhism from Tianzhu."

He said,

"We Tibetans have believed in Bon for generations, and my ancestors once ruled the country with Bon."

"Buddhism alone can never overshadow our native religion, you see that the eldest brother has built a few temples, but the courtyard is cold, and no one cares about it......"

When the high priest heard this, he snorted coldly.

"No one cares now, what about the future?"

He said,

"I've heard that Buddhism has swept Tianzhu, defeated several major sects, and has countless followers."

"Songtsen Gampo's intention in doing this could not be more obvious, he wants to destroy our native religion! His ancestors were the descendants of the gods and ruled by doctrine...... He turned his back on it! ”

There was anger in the words.

But there is also a little anxiety and lack of confidence.

Buddhism was popular in Tianzhu and spread throughout the world, attracting countless followers.

Now that it has arrived, it has naturally made the High Priest feel threatened like never before...... He was also afraid that Bon would be easily destroyed by Buddhism!

And at that time, how much is he still worth as a high priest?

"Yes, yes, the High Priest is right."

Tibetan cloth orthodox channel,

"Big brother's behavior is too bad!"

"In order to curry favor with the new aristocracy, he directly suppressed and weakened the old ministers and old people; In order to reduce your right to speak, do not hesitate to introduce foreign religions. ”

"I am deeply outraged by this behavior!"

"High priest, believe that my heart is with you."

The sincerity of the Tibetan cloth made the high priest's expression soften a little.

"I believe in you, you are the main branch of the Tubo royal line."

He said,

"Songtsen Gampo has won two wars, and his prestige within Tibet is unmatched, and I thought there was no chance."

"But he never thought that he was fascinated by the princess of the Tang Dynasty and was bent on going to the Tang Dynasty!"

"Okay, okay...... Heaven bless, our chance has come! ”

Zangbu's expression was grim.

"High Priestess, what do you want to do?"

He lowered his voice, a little uncontrollable excitement in his heart.

"I have secretly contacted the old nobles in Dabo, Gongbu, Niangbo and other places, and they are all extremely dissatisfied with Songtsen Gampo!"

The High Priest said in a deep voice,

"When the time comes, while he is away, I will take the opportunity to support you to become Zampu by the will of the gods! Then the old nobles will rise up and answer you! ”

"Thousands of our Bon followers will also respond to you!"

"When the time comes, you will be the only king of Tibet! As for that Songtsen Gampo, it's just a lost dog! ”

Zangbo's eyes burned and his heart was excited.

The script has been written!

It's almost executed!

"Thank you, High Priest!"

He thanked him and promised,

"If I can become Zampu, I will definitely serve you as a national teacher! In the future, Tubo will be the two of us! ”

The High Priest smiled.

"National teacher or something, in fact, I don't care that much...... But since you said Zampu, then I am willing to be this national teacher. ”

He said,

"At that time, I will demolish the Jokhang Temple and the Jokhang Temple and expel all pagan religions!"

"In the territory of Tibet, there can only be one sect of our Bon sect!"

Zangpo nodded.

"That's as it should be!"

What Songtsen Gampo wants to do, he is against it! That's the only way to ...... Only then can he gain the support of the old forces and be able to sit on the throne!

"It's just a pity that the soldiers who accompanied Songtsen Gampo to the Tang Dynasty this time were all selected by Kadan Gampo alone, and they couldn't insert our people."

And the high priest said,

"Otherwise, if you can kill Songtsen Gampo halfway, then everything will be foolproof!"

"I don't know if the Tuyuhun people are interested in this......"

Zangbu's expression was grim.

"The High Priest is trying to kill the eldest brother?"

He wondered.

"Kill him, it's safest! Otherwise, the coup d'état on your side is successful, and he will come with reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty at that time, how can he resist it? ”

The High Priest snorted coldly,

"How many people will rebel at that time?"

"Although I hate Songtsen Gampo, I have to admit that he is a powerful monarch! Don't blame me for speaking badly - you're far worse than him except for the fact that you're of the same blood! ”

"So the safest thing to do is to kill him! He's dead, and you're the first heir to Zamp's throne! At that time, even if Kadan Gampo wants to rob you, we will also help you, and your chances of winning will be the greatest! ”

When Zangbu heard this, his face couldn't help but be a little ugly.

But ugly is ugly, and he also knows - what the other party says is the truth.

"It seems that he is indeed going to be killed."

Zangpo whispered,

"Tuyuhun naturally doesn't want him to go to Datang, if this family affair is reached and Tubo and Datang form an alliance, then Murong Fuyun will have trouble sleeping!"

"But to say that they dare to kill Songtsen Gampo, it is unlikely, at most it is just to intercept and obstruct, even if we release the news, they will not dare to touch him."

"The Murong clan has always been timid, it's okay to play tricks, and he doesn't dare to confront the anger of Tubo head-on."

The High Priest nodded.

"The Murong clan is indeed timid."

He whispered,

"Kadan Gampo is too cautious, two hundred elites, if you want to intercept and kill, at least eight hundred dead soldiers must be dispatched! Such a fanfare dispatch will inevitably arouse vigilance. ”

"This old thing is the most cautious person in all of Tibet."

"I think I can only hope for the Tuyuhun people."

Two hundred elite soldiers, not eight hundred dead soldiers can't be crushed!

The dead sound like a powerful group of loyal servants who don't want to die, but in fact their combat effectiveness is far from that of professional soldiers.

Without special training and cooperation, you can only rely on the number of people to fight.

Eight hundred, it's a bit conservative!

Therefore, it is definitely not possible to send people out of their hands, and thousands of people are dispatched at a time...... What do you want to do?

"The high priest said, what should be done?"

Zangbo hurriedly asked.

I thought that Songtsen Gampo would be manipulated by others when he went out, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult to kill him outside!

"I remember that there was a black market in Tuyuhun, and there were all kinds of tricks."

High Priest Dao,

"Go to the black market and spend a lot of money to put a bounty on Songtsen Gampo!"

"I know that there are some outlaws on the grassland, and their scale is not small, the most important thing is that they are familiar with the terrain, and if they take it by surprise, they still have a chance of winning."

"For now, that's all we can do! Of course, you can't tell them that it's the Tubo Zampu team, otherwise they will ask for more money even if they are not afraid! ”

Zangpo nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you, high priest, and I'll arrange it!"

He said repeatedly,

"With the help of the High Priest and the blessing of the gods, we will definitely succeed!"

The High Priest looked confident.

"Don't worry! I could feel that the gods were guiding me. ”

He said,

"The gods told me that this time it will be very smooth, and Songtsen Gampo will definitely die on the way!"

Somehow, he was very confident!

Naturally, he took it as a guide from the gods!

……

The vast grassland, the king city of Tuyuhun.

This is a city made of stones, although it is far worse than Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, but for the grassland tribes, it is not easy to be able to pile up such a city.

Inside the royal palace.

Murong Fuyun took Murong Lin's letter and frowned silently.

"Father, this Murong Lin's tone is too bad! Is he commanding us to do what he tells us to do? ”

King Murong Zun said unhappily,

"A marginal figure of the royal family, who gave him courage?"

Murong Fuyun shook his head.

"He was under pressure from the Tang Dynasty, and it was not easy, the Tang Emperor must have reprimanded and intimidated him."

He said in a deep voice.

When King Murong Zun heard this, his expression was even more displeased.

"That's none of our business! Tang Huang really doesn't distinguish between good and bad! It was the people of the Zatu tribe who invaded his Liangzhou, what does it have to do with us? ”

He exasperated,

"Come and rebuke us every time!"

"We also want to manage, but are the grassland people so docile and easy to manage as the Central Plains?"

"With their legs on their own, can we still leash them and keep them from walking?"

Murong Fuyun sighed lightly.

"Having said that, Li Shimin doesn't know the internal situation of our Tuyuhun, so he naturally thinks that Tuyuhun is provoking, and I am provoking!"

He shook his head and said,

"After all, the Zatu people are also Tuyuhun people! I am responsible for their actions! ”

"However, this time, the Zhatu people also paid the price, the Tang army pursued for hundreds of miles, killing nearly a thousand Zhatu men in the prime of life, and the vitality of the Zhatu tribe was greatly damaged, and I am afraid that it will be swallowed up."

King Murong Zun snorted coldly.

"Stupid Zatu people who have no wisdom at all, they deserve this fate."

"The Tieqiao tribe has been dispatched, I estimate that the Zatu tribe will be finished in the next few days, and then their property and women will all belong to the Tieqiao people."

Murong Fuyun nodded.

"Son, do you know why your father named you King?"

He got up and sighed,

"To be a father is to hope that the people under my command will respect me as a king! I will respect you as a king in the future! Listen to you! ”

"Compared with Datang and Tubo, we are all scattered - there are many domestic forces, and there are few who are really obedient!"

This is the greatest trouble in my father's life! What do you mean by being this king? ”

King Murong Zun's eyes were filled with coldness.

"Isn't it the Turkic outsiders who muddied the waters?"

"As soon as they come in, they will develop their own forces like wild wolves and start a conflict with us!"

"I don't know, I really think they are some kind of strongmen! It's just a lost dog that was beaten by Datang! Come on, I'm asking for food! ”

Murong Fuyun; “……”

This son's mouth is really sharp!

But if the strength can have such a hard mouth, it would be good, there would be no worries!

"You're right, but the Turks are powerful after all, and it's hard for us to take care of them."

Murong Fuyun said in a deep voice,

"Unless, there is Datang as a helper! With the help of their hands, they will sweep away the internal disobedience of Tuyuhun! Only in this way can Tuyuhun really be the Tuyuhun of our Murong family! ”

"O king...... So this time, you have to go to Chang'an and marry the Tang princess back! ”

King Murong Zun's face darkened.

"Father, are you serious?"

He frowned,

"Then Li Shimin is a lion who opened his mouth and asked for 100,000 cattle and sheep!"

"100,000 heads! Can we make it up? It's simply impossible! If it is forcibly expropriated, do you believe that a group of people will rebel immediately? ”

"The dowry demanded by the Tang Dynasty is too high, we can't do it at all! Don't even think about it! ”

100,000 cattle and sheep, Tubo may barely be able to make it up, then Tuyuhun is really not good, it can't make up so much!

"This thing...... The father will come to figure out a way, and you don't need to bother much. ”

Murong Fuyun gritted his teeth and said,

"Even if I borrow it, I'll lend it too! Ask Xue Yantuo, ask Khitan to borrow, and we'll make it up ourselves! ”

"It should work!"

"Son, don't look like it's going to cost a lot this time, but in the long run, it's definitely a good thing! As long as this family business is successful, we don't even need Datang to send troops to help, just relying on the prestige of Datang, we can scare those Turkic dogs and cubs as quiet as chickens, believe it or not? ”

"These bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, when they hear the name of Datang, they can't go away!"

"When the time comes, as soon as we integrate, the national strength will increase greatly! Are there still tens of thousands of cattle and sheep missing? ”

King Murong Zun was silent.

"Also, if you don't marry this princess, you can be married by the Tubo people!"

Murong Fuyun said again,

"You know that Songtsen Gampo, you are very ambitious!"

"When the time comes, if they become in-laws, once they have thoughts about us, won't Tuyuhun become a lamb to the slaughter? There is no ability to resist at all! ”

"So, we must fight for this marriage!"

"It's just right, we are a little closer to Datang, and we have the advantage of being a first-mover! You hurry up and prepare to leave, if that Songtsen Gampo comes, I will try my best to intercept him, so that he can't get to Chang'an!" ”

"In that case, the princess of the Tang Dynasty will inevitably marry us Tuyuhun!"

His calculations are good.

He definitely wouldn't dare to kill Songtsen Gampo, but he could still do it if he intercepted it.

However, Songtsen Gampo also predicted his prediction and was ready.

Of course, even so, Tuyuhun still has a first-mover advantage, even if Songtsan Gampo is fast, it will have to pass through Tuyuhun to reach Datang...... That's a lot farther away!

"This ......"

King Murong Zun hesitated,

"Father, are you sure that Li Shimin will not do anything to me?"

"Murong Lin has become that bird, when I arrive in Chang'an, I won't be directly locked up by Li Shimin and become a prisoner, right?"

Murong Fuyun shook his head again and again.

"What are you worried about? Will the Heavenly Khan be such a person? ”

He hurriedly said,

"Don't worry! There won't be anything at all! You must be a guest, not a prisoner! ”

"Father assures you this!"

"You go, go! For the Father, I'll prepare an itinerary for you! ”
