Chapter 37: The Return of the King

Previous Chapter

The eldest prince Wu Chongzhen, under the escort of Ubatu and the important minister Umas, temporarily assumed the position of the king of the Tibetan kingdom of Usi.

Tossing and turning in bed that night, unable to sleep.

Wuzhong is really a modern person who has crossed over, has read "Journey to the West", and knows the history of Tubo and the Tang Dynasty very well.

Wusizang and Tubo are vassal relations, and the relationship between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty is in addition to a period of time after the marriage of Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo, the two countries have friendly exchanges, and the rest of the time is a big fight.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty was in the Zhenguan period.

Tang Taizong Li Shiming was wise and martial, governed the country well, and the Tang Dynasty was powerful in the world.

The Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty was a peaceful and prosperous era that appeared in the early Tang Dynasty, with clear politics, social stability, economic prosperity, and the people living and working in peace and contentment, and the Tang Dynasty was also the most powerful country at that time.

The powerful Northern Turks were defeated by the Tang army led by Li Jing, the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, during the Zhenguan period, and the Western Turks survived and had no threat to the Tang Dynasty.

In the autumn of the twelfth year of Zhenguan (638 AD), Songtsan Gampo led the Tubo army to attack Songzhou of the Tang Dynasty, and Tang Taizong sent Hou Junji to lose his thinking power, Niu Jinda, Liu Lan led 50,000 cavalry to defeat the Tubo army.

Songtsen Gampo withdrew from the army, sent an envoy to apologize, and got the permission of Tang Taizong because of his remarriage proposal.

Princess Wencheng, the daughter of the Tang Dynasty, set out from Chang'an in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan (641), and entered Tibet and relatives under the escort of Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, and married Songtsen Gampo in Tubo.

It is rumored that Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, is the biological father of Princess Wencheng, and there is no way to verify whether it is true.

After that, the Tang Dynasty maintained a period of peace with Tibet.

But in the period of Tang Gaozong, Tubo first destroyed Tuyuhun, and then invaded the Western Regions, the eighteen states of the Western Regions fell, and broke the four towns of Qiuzi, Khotan, Yanqi, and Shule, Tang Gaozong was furious, and sent Xue Rengui, Ashina Daozhen, and Guo Zhifeng to lead 100,000 Tang troops to crusade against Tubo.

The Tang army was defeated in the first battle of Dafeichuan, losing its armor and losing all its casualties.

Xue Rengui, Ashina Daozhen, Guo Zhifeng and Tubo discussed the Qinling peace agreement, and only retired with their bodies.

Xue Rengui, a famous Tang general who defeated Goguryeo, was defeated, and Tubo rose on the snowy plateau and became a fierce rival of the Tang Dynasty.

In the following decades, the war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty continued, and Tubo became more and more fierce, and the Qinling became the military god of Tubo.

Now that Wu Chongzhen has become the king of the Wusi Tibetan Kingdom, as a descendant of the Tang people, it is natural for him to help the Tang Dynasty.

He decided to spend three years training 300,000 troops in the Wusi Tibetan State, strengthen the Wusi Tibetan State, and then contact the Tang Dynasty and join forces with the Tang Dynasty to attack Tubo until the destruction of Tubo, and then submit to the Tang Dynasty, making the Tang Dynasty an unprecedented empire.

This is his vision for his future.

If he can succeed, he will not only be an indispensable contributor to the Tang Empire, but also make himself famous in history and famous for centuries.

Since you can't go back, let's do something big.

The next day, Wu Chongzhen put on the clothes of the king of the Tibetan kingdom and sat on the throne of the king.

Standing next to him were Ubatu, the head of the palace guards, and the old eunuch.

The new king does things, of course, there must be a new atmosphere.

He made four decrees:

First, send additional men to continue to track down the whereabouts of the king, queen and little prince.

Second, the world will be amnesty, and the prisoners held in the prison cells of the Usi Tibetan State, except for the felons who murder and arson, and are full of evil, will be released.

Third, the national tax will be exempted for three years to benefit the people.

Fourth, 300,000 troops will be conscripted within three years to strengthen the Tibetan state.

"Long live the king! long live!

As soon as these four decrees were made, all the ministers in the palace hall knelt down, and the mountain shouted long live.

"Ministers, flat!"

Wu Chongzhen looked peaceful, and raised his hands upward.

"King Xie!"

And all the ministers stood up.

Wu Chong is really proud, he is in a good mood, and the feeling of being a king is different.

At this moment.

He became the most powerful man in the Tibetan kingdom of Us.

When a person becomes the king of a country, he has supreme and unfettered absolute power, the whole country is mine, everything is mine, every word I say is a golden rule, I am the most powerful person in this country, the richest person, the most status person.

"Tell the king, the king is back!

A palace guard suddenly entered the palace hall and got down on one knee to report.

"The king is back?"

Wuzhong really immersed himself in the dream of being a king, and when he heard the report of the palace guards, it was like a basin of cold water poured from the top of his head, and he was poured cold, and the plan he conceived was shattered in an instant.

"Yes, King!"

The palace guard replied in the affirmative.

Wu Zhongzhen shouted to the palace guard, "Stand down!" and then shouted to the ministers in the palace hall, "Everyone welcome the king!" and prepared to get up to meet his father.

The palace guard immediately retreated.

The ministers also prepared to welcome the great king Wu Chongfo.

"No need!"

With a loud shout, King Wu Chongfo appeared in the palace hall.

With a gloomy face, he stepped forward angrily and forced his gaze at Wu Chongzhen, who was sitting on the throne of the Great King.

"When my father returns, my sons and daughters have missed a long way, I hope my father will forgive my sins!

Wu Chongzhen hurriedly got up and left his seat, walked down, knelt in front of Wu Chongfo and shouted.

"Humph!"

Wu Chongfo snorted dissatisfiedly and walked up to sit on the throne of the king.

"Chongzhen, let me ask you, why did you kill Master Uspa?

He looked at Wu Chongzhen, who was kneeling below, and shouted at him.

"Father, because the sons heard that the master and apprentice of Usipa were going to rebel, so they joined forces with the palace guards to lead Uba Tu, kill the master and apprentice of Uspa, and share the worries of the father! Now that the black demon, the black demon, and the black monster are dead, and the two of Usipa and the black ghost escaped, since the father has returned, he should issue an order to destroy the master and apprentice of Usipa to prevent future troubles!"

Ushige really knelt there and replied calmly.

"The black demon, the black demon, and the black monster are dead, and the two of them escaped?"

"The eldest prince is decisive!"

"Uspa's master and apprentice rebelled, and they should be destroyed!"

"Well done the eldest prince!"

Hearing what the eldest prince said, the people below immediately began to talk about it.

Most people agreed with the Grand Prince's decision.

"The national teacher wants to rebel?

Wu Chongfo sat on it and shouted, his face was pale, and he definitely didn't believe that the national teacher Wu Siba would rebel.

"Great King, the national teacher Wu Siba alone controls the palace guards, and holds the security of the Wu Si Zang King's Palace, which is really a big worry! The four major disciples of Wu Siba's subordinates, the black demon, the black monster, and the black ghost are usually rampant and domineering, arrogant, and their master and apprentice should be exterminated if they want to rebel and eliminate the hidden dangers! The king, Wei Chen thinks that the eldest prince has done the right thing!"

Umas, the important minister of the Tibetan State of Wusi, immediately came out to speak for Wuzhongzhen.

"Wu Aiqing, the national teacher Wu Siba has repeatedly saved this king from danger, and has won the trust of this king, how can he rebel?

Wu Chongfo drank loudly in his mouth and slapped his palm on the gauntlet of the throne.

"Father, the national teacher Wu Siba usually wears an iron mask on his face, wears a black robe, and covers the top of his head with a hood, so that no one can see his true face.

Wu Zhongzhen knelt down and said bluntly.

"Chongzhen, get up!"

Wu Chongfo was shocked when he heard this, and called Wu Chongzhen below.

He had always wanted to know what Uspa's true face was, but there was nothing he could do.

"Chongzhen, you said that the national teacher wants to rebel, if he really wants to rebel, he can kill this king, why do you want to let this king go back to the palace?"

Wu Chongfo looked at Wu Chongzhen with his eyes and asked rhetorically.

Wu Chongzhen stood up and replied calmly: "Father, the sons and daughters think that the national teacher's move must have an ulterior motive!" looked up at Wu Chongfo and asked with a concerned face: "Father, you were taken out of the palace by Wu Sipa's apprentices, but have you been abused by them?"

"Early that morning, Master Usipa came to the palace and told the king that something important had happened in the palace, and took us out of the palace to take refuge in a secret mountain village, and he has been waiting for us well, and he will escort us back to the palace today!"

Wu Chong Buddha sat on the throne above and replied.

"Dare to ask the king, where is the master and apprentice of Usba now?"

Umas asks below.

"They're just outside the palace!Wu Aiqing, what do you mean by that?"

Wu Chongfo looked at Umas with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

"Don't you think it's a little strange, my lord, since the master and apprentice of Usipa escorted the king, the queen and the little prince back to the palace, why didn't Usipa himself enter the palace with the king?"

With a puzzled look on his face, Umas's face shouted to Uchong Buddha.

"Father, Lord Wu is right! Master and apprentice Usiba escorted his father, queen and little prince back to the palace, and Usiba should enter the palace with his father!"

Wu Chongshan has the same doubts.

"Yes, King!"

Ubatu, who was standing next to Wu Chong Buddha, also agreed, and was suspicious in his heart.

Wu Chongfo didn't think about it before, but when he heard that Umas, Wu Chongzhen, and Ubatu all had questions, he sat on the throne and thought about it, and found that it was really a little strange.

There was silence above the main hall.

"Oh no, the king! The national teacher Wu Siba rebelled with the queen and led the palace guards into the palace, and the palace guards couldn't resist it, and they were about to kill the palace!"

A palace guard with a single knife in his hand hurriedly ran into the main hall and shouted at the Wuchong Buddha on the throne.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Two sharp arrows came from behind him one after the other,

One arrow hit the guard in the back of the heart, and another went into the back of the head.

"Smack!"

The palace guards who reported the news fell forward and died.

The courtiers in the main hall of the palace were shocked.

Wu Chongfo's face darkened, his heart shook, and he was shocked.
