bastard seizes tang

Chapter 859
For Gongri Gongzan, Lu Dongzan held the military power and had great prestige, which was the biggest obstacle on his way to power; for Tubo, Lu Dongzan's son held a high position in the Tang Dynasty, which was an unstable factor, so Whether public or private, emotional or reasonable, Gongri Gongzan was unwilling to keep Lu Dongzan.

But Lu Dongzan is not an ordinary courtier after all. Today's Lu Dongzan is far more powerful than Qiongpo Bangse back then. He can't move easily, so Gongri Gongzan, who is still considered sensible, can only listen to Chisang Yangdun's words, Lu Dongzan was transferred to Xiangxiong.

Chisang Yangdun also had his own thoughts on why it was Zhang Zhung and not other places. Zhang Zhung is a big country to the west of Tubo, standing on the plateau for nearly a thousand years, and its history is far better than Tubo.

Because of the long history of Zhang Zhung, the royal family of Zhang Zhung has a high prestige among the people. Although Zhang Zhung is dead, the people's hearts are far from returning. The royal family of Zhang Zhung Kingdom has repeatedly raised troops after that, and the place is not stable. However, the order of Tubo Zanpu was difficult to carry out in Zhang Zhung.

In such a situation as Zhang Zhung, no matter who goes there, it will inevitably be deflated, not to mention Lu Dongzan, who was the greatest hero who led the army to attack Zhang Zhung, and whose hands were stained with the blood of countless Xiang Zhung people.

Lu Dongzan was transferred out of logic, and he could not get in touch with the affairs of the Tubo court. Slowly, his power in the court gradually faded. Xiong, but he tried his best to maintain the situation, and his power in the local area could not be greatly developed, so the next few years will be the years when Lu Dongzan will lose power.

Lu Dongzan lost power, even if Li Ke's goal was achieved, Li Ke did not renege on his promise and attack Tubo in a short period of time, but really stabilized Liaodong in the next two years, recharged his energy, and watched Gongri Gunzan secured Zamp's position.

In the fourth year of Longshuo, there was severe winter and heavy snowfall.

It was cold outside and the door was blocked by heavy snow. It was supposed to be a time when the wind was piercing through the bones, but at this time, the sleeping hall of the Shicui Hall of Daming Palace was warm under the baking of the stove.

"Haha, the auspicious snow heralds a good year, the good fortune that Fan'er brought, the first year when Fan'er was born, there was such a heavy snowfall in Guanzhong, the next year must be a good one." In Shicui Palace, Li Ke was holding a milk doll , said to Langri Linzhi beside her.

Right now, Li Ke is talking like this again in the Shicui Palace. Needless to say, the boy in Li Ke's arms is naturally the son of Li Ke and Langri Linzhi.

Langri Linzhi's son, Li Fan, was born in May of the fourth year of Longshuo. Although he was not a direct son, Li Ke loved him a lot, and he was always with him.

Li Fan was born of the princess of Tubo, that is, the grandson of Langri Songtsan, the father of Tubo Nongzan, the former king of Tubo.Li Fan has half of the blood of the Tang royal family and half of the Tubo royal blood, which is somewhat similar to Li Ke.

It's just that the reason why Li Ke loves Li Fan so much is not because of this reason, but because of Li Ke and Langri Linzhi's plan for Li Fan.

It is not difficult to see Li Ke's expectations for Li Fan from the name Li Ke gave Li Fan. Simply stated literally, Wang Yufan means the king of Tubo.

Li Ke intended to use Li Fan to carry out the affairs of the Eastern Turks, and let Li Fan be the future king of Tubo.

It is precisely because of this that in Li Ke's future plans, Li Fan will mostly go to the plateau, and sooner or later he will go far away, so Li Ke loves and cherishes him more.

Langri Linzhi said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, another year of bumper harvests. Right now, my Tang Dynasty has been recharging its energy for a long time, and the national power has reached its peak. Now, there are still civil strife in Tubo. Your Majesty's long-term ambition may come true."

Li Ke listened to Langri Linzhi's words, with a smile on his face, and asked, "You also know the news on the plateau?"

Langri Linzhi said: "Today I met the envoys from Tubo in the palace, and I got the words out of their mouths. It seems that Xiangxiong is not safe now."

Li Ke smiled and said: "Xiangxiong is more than unstable. After King Xiangxiong, Dong Jiongrenmo returned to his hometown a month ago, and now he is fighting with Lu Dongzan inextricably, unless Gongri Gongzan It is really time to transfer elite soldiers to Xiangxiong, otherwise this war will not end so easily, but now Gongri Gongzan is afraid that Lu Dongzan will take power, so he will never give Lu Dongzan military power again, it is very difficult very."

Langri Lingzhi was surprised when he heard the words: "So, the Tubo envoys have covered up a lot of what I said."

Li Ke said: "The Tubo envoys naturally dare not tell you the whole situation. After all, Tubo's situation is not very good now. They are also afraid that I will learn the news and take advantage of it."

Langri Lingzhi asked in puzzlement: "If that's the case, how could His Majesty be so well-informed about the news from Xiangxiong's side?"

Zhang Zhung is still far west of Tubo, thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, and Zhang Zhung lives on a high plateau, and it is not easy to get back and forth. Li Ke was able to know the news about Zhang Zhung in such a short period of time. Lin Zhi was surprised.

Li Ke did not answer Langri Linzhi's words directly, but asked rhetorically: "The old land of Xiangxiong is already owned by Tubo, and there is a capable minister Lu Dongzan sitting in the town. Why do you think Xiangxiong can have it in just three years?" The strength and courage to restore the country?"

Li Kezhi's words caught his ears, and Langri Linzhi immediately understood, and said to Li Ke: "Shangxiong has such confidence, it is probably because His Majesty is behind the support."

Tubo is the most powerful country on the plateau, with a strong army. Xiangxiong raised troops to restore the country after just four years of subjugation, and it was still under the rule of Lu Dongzan. They naturally have their reliance, and their biggest reliance is Tian Khan Li Ke's support.

Li Ke said: "That's right, they were able to mobilize troops so quickly to restore the country, and it is indeed because I supported them behind the scenes. In the past two years, I ordered people to send a lot of soldiers, armor and food to Xiangxiong Dongjiong Renmo on the grounds of doing business. This time Xiangxiong's army was also ordered by me, although Xiangxiong's army is not strong enough to fight against Tubo, it is enough to disturb Xiangxiong and disperse Tubo's forces."

Langri Lingzhi heard the words, and asked excitedly: "Xiangxiong is a chess piece for His Majesty to check and balance Tubo. His Majesty ordered Xiangxiong to raise troops at this time, but the time for the Western Expedition has come."

In Langri Linzhi's view, the reason why Li Ke backed Xiangxiong was not to restore Zhangxiong's country, but to distract Tubo. It's been too long, so Li Ke's best choice is to send troops during the period of chaos in the plateau, otherwise the time will drag on for a long time, and his son Xiangxiong will be useless.

And once Li Ke raised his troops, Li Fan, the son of Langri Linzhi, would be one step closer to becoming Tubo Zanpu, so she would naturally be a little more excited.

Li Ke said: "Xiangxiong's rise of troops is just an introduction, and it is not enough to make Tubo and others ignore it. I am still waiting for an east wind."
