bastard seizes tang

Chapter 908

Discord between monarchs and ministers has always been a taboo in ancient times, not to mention that when the Tang army is about to overwhelm the border, Chisang Yangdun is still the prime minister of Tubo, No. 1 below the king.

Undoubtedly, the discord between Gongri Gongzan and Chisang Yangdun in the Potala Palace was a huge crisis for Tubo, but Nan Congxiang in the hall at that time sensed an opportunity, A chance to make a fortune.

Li Ke had spoken to him before, asking him to separate Tubo monarchs and ministers, and persuade Gongri Gongzan to surrender when necessary.Li Ke was not stingy with rewarding the Nancong elephant. As for how much to reward, it depended on how far the Nancong elephant could do it.

Now Nancongxiang doesn't do much, it just alienates the relationship between Ludongzan and Gongri Gongzan, which is not enough, if he can further alienate the relationship between Chisang Yangdun and Gongri Gongzan If you help Li Ke break open some city gates, then his contribution will be great. At that time, not to mention the rewards of gold and silver, it will not be difficult to go to Datang to serve as an official and be ennobled.

For Tubo, Nan Congxiang accepted bribes from the Tang Dynasty and betrayed the imperial court. He was naturally a courtier, but he was also a very motivated courtier, a smart and corrupt official.

In the evening of the next day, Luoxi City, Potala Palace.

It was late, the night was getting darker, and the sky outside the palace had already darkened. Gongri Gongzan, who had been restless for a day, was about to take a rest. Suddenly, a servant sent a message that Nancongxiang had something to do with the battle of Nonggegu Ask for an appointment.

Nan Congxiang is Gongri Gongzan's confidant and an important minister in the court. He has something to ask for an interview at this time, and it is related to the battle of Nonggegu, which directly decided the life and death of Tubo. Gongri Gongzan lost sleepiness after hearing this. Can't wait for a moment, summoned immediately.

"Chen Nan Congxiang pays homage to Zanpu." Nan Congxiang stood in front of Gongri Gongzan, knelt down and bowed.

Gong Rigong praised Nan Congxiang to get up, and asked anxiously: "Get up quickly, you said that you have something important to report to me related to the battle of Nongge Valley. I don't know what it is?"

Nan Congxiang got up, first heaved a long sigh, and then said: "Zanpu, if your thinking is correct, there may be other hidden reasons behind the defeat in the battle of Nongge Valley, and the reason may not lie in front of the two armies. And in my Tubo court."

Nan Congxiang looked heartbroken, as if he knew some important secret, and listening to Nan Congxiang's words, it seemed that there was something else hidden about the annihilation of the Tubo army in Nongge Valley.

Hearing what Nan Congxiang said, Gongri Gongzan became even more anxious, and immediately asked, "Why did you say that, tell me quickly."

Nan Congxiang then replied: "Yesterday Zanpu talked about the battle of Nonggegu in the main hall. At that time, the last general thought it was very strange. Although the Tang army is strong, but after all, it is far away and the climate is not acclimatized. How can it be me?" Tubo Erlang's opponent, so just after yesterday, the last general ordered people to go out of the city to investigate the news, and this investigation turned out to be a major event."

"What's the matter?" Gongri Gongzan asked after Nan Congxiang whetted his appetite.

Nan Congxiang gritted his teeth and replied: "The minister's servant sent back the news that after the defeat of Nongge Valley, Lu Dongzan had surrendered to Tang, and after Lu Dongzan surrendered to Tang, not only did Lu Dongzan not have the slightest punishment, the Tang Emperor even gave him Lu Dong praised the high-ranking official for his generous salary, and even worshiped him as the prime minister, and became the minister of the Tang court, and he was very respected."

As soon as Nan Congxiang's words came out, Gongri Gongzan felt dizzy for a while, and almost fell to the ground on the spot in anger.

Before that, many Tubo defeated troops fled back to Luoxie and brought back the news of the defeat of the Tubo army, but the news about Lu Dongzan was always unknown, so that Gongri Gongzan once guessed that Lu Dongzan died in battle and died for the country. But now Nan Congxiang has told the news, how can Gongri Gongzan not be surprised.

Of course, if it was just that Lu Dongzan surrendered to the Tang Dynasty for his life, Gongri Gongzan would not be so angry. What really made Gongri Gongzan angry was that Li Ke treated Lu Dongzan so favorably. You must know that Lu Dongzan was the commander of the Tubo army It caused a lot of trouble for Li Ke. It is rare for Lu Dong to praise Tang Li Ke and not kill him. There is no reason to give the prime minister a high position immediately.

Nan Congxiang's words are very inductive. After hearing Nan Congxiang's words, Gongri Gongzan's instinctive first reaction was that Lu Dongzan's landing was strange. I'm afraid it was not an ordinary defeat and capture, but a deal. A transaction in which 20 Tubo troops were exchanged for prosperity and wealth.

If not, how could it make sense of the current situation? How could Li Ke, who is as shrewd as Li Ke, easily give a phase to a defeated general?

Gongri Gongzan said bitterly: "So that's the case. I wondered why my 20 Tubo army was destroyed so quickly. It turned out that I didn't give him Tubo's face, and he exchanged Tang Emperor's face for Tang Ting's face."

The aspect of the Tang Dynasty is naturally better than that of Tubo. Under the guidance of Nan Congxiang's words, Gongri Gongzan regarded Lu Dongzan's surrender to the Tang Dynasty as a pursuit of high-ranking officials and generous salary, and a way to depose him. Bit of revenge, all of this is reasonable.

Looking at Gongri Gongzan's reaction, Nan Congxiang was also a little annoyed and said: "It's all my fault, I didn't detect the abnormality in time to stop Lu Dongzan from leading the army, and it was too late when I stopped Lu Dongzan. "

When Lu Dongzan was still leading the army at Bai Bize, Nan Congxiang advised Gongri Gongzan to be careful of Lu Dongzan's rebellion. At that time, Nan Congxiang said this to drive apart Gongri Gongzan and Lu Dongzan, but Now that I think about it, what Nan Cong Xiang did back then was a bit far-sighted.

Gongri Gongzan looked at Nan Congxiang who was still blaming himself, and couldn't help feeling a little relieved in his heart. Nan Congxiang was really "loyal" to him, but it was a pity that he still couldn't prevent Lu Dongzan, a traitor.

Now is the time for employing people, and a "loyal minister" like Nan Congxiang is exactly what Gongri Gongzan cannot do without. Seeing this, Gongri Gongzan even comforted Nan Congxiang.

Gongri Gongzan said: "Lu Dongzan's face is honest and treacherous, you can't expect this, you don't have to blame yourself too much."

Nan Congxiang seemed to appreciate Gongri Gongzan's words very much. With a bit of patriotic enthusiasm, Nan Congxiang regretted: "Zanpu said the same thing. Lu Dongzan was the first to praise Pu's old minister. Who would have thought that he would By doing such things, I failed the prime minister who tried my best to recommend him to be reused, and even failed Zanpu."

Nan Congxiang's words seemed unintentional, but it was just a moment of emotion, but he also inadvertently pointed to a person. This person is the Prime Minister Chisang Yangdun. When the Tang army was suppressing the border, Gongri Gongzan was originally unwilling to appoint him. Lu Dongzan, but Chisang Yangdun strongly recommended Lu Dongzan, and this is what happened later.

Gongri Gongzan couldn't help but wonder why Chisang Yangdun recommended Lu Dongzan again and again. Is there an inevitable connection.

You must know that Chisang Yangdun and Ludongzan are good friends.Moreover, Chisang Yangdun also met Li Ke in the western capital back then, and now Gongri Gongzan is more than dissatisfied with Chisang Yangdun.

Doubt this kind of thing is like a seed. The unfavorable situation in Tubo right now is the best soil for the seed to grow. Once it is planted, it will grow rapidly in Gongri Gongzan's heart until Gongri Gongzan completely loses his respect for Chi. Sang Yang Tun's trust.
