Chapter 808 The Emperor is my uncle and Zanpu is my nephew
It was already dark in the Potala Palace in Luoche City. Napoda took his eldest son Gelong and a man dressed as a servant and got into the Potala Palace from a secret entrance.
As for why Napda knew this secret passage into the Potala Palace, it was because Napda's Black Water Department was directly under the orders of the Zampu family.
Today's logic has formed an extremely strange political pattern.
The Zamp family was trapped in the Potala Palace, and it was not easy to order them out of the palace.
Because Luoche City and its surrounding areas were controlled by a group of feudal nobles such as Lu Hui, Ba, Lai, Bulu and so on.
There is both struggle and cooperation within them. The core idea is to control Zampu in the palace and become a puppet.
And in places far away from Luzuo, there are a large number of fringe members of the Zamp family who control them, or there are strong forces loyal to the Zamp family like the Blackwater Ministry.
Well, they are not really loyal to Zamp, but if they don't pretend to be loyal to Zamp and cooperate with Zamp in the Potala Palace, they will soon be defeated by these powerful family political groups located near Luoche.
To annex.
Therefore, the current logical political situation is that Zampu is blocked in the Potala Palace by the big family political group.
In addition to the logic, there are a large number of Zanpu's "loyal ministers", which makes the big families somewhat hostile to Zanpu, and the three parties form a relatively stable nesting doll with each other.
The end of this kind of nesting doll in history is that after the revival of Buddhism in the past few decades, the Zanpu family has completely lost the last bit of legal principles and morality.
As a result, the area around Luoche City immediately broke into chaos, and fierce internal fighting among the big families began. At one point, the Potala Palace was completely destroyed, and only the corner of the Jokhang Temple, Resa, remained.
The Potala Palace we saw in later generations was actually restored by the fifth Dalai Lama Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso in 1645, the first year of Longwu in the Southern Ming Dynasty.
After drilling through small holes one after another, Napda and the other three finally arrived at the Resa (Jokhang Temple) inside the palace.
Zanpu Triwang Xuzan was escorted by several warriors of the Zanpu family. He wore a large brocade-collared Qiu Bazang robe with a left gusset. Because it was not a formal occasion, there was no crimson morning glow crown, but a simple one.
Tie a red forehead bandage.
Triwang Xuzan naturally knew Napda, and Napda did not sneak into Luoxue City just today. He had been here for two days, and only came in to pay homage after getting Zanpu Triwang Xuzan's permission.
As for why Lu Hui and other big family political groups did not completely blockade Luoxe City or the Potala Palace, it is because they simply do not have the ability.
It is not one family that has the final say in Luozhe City, but five families. This gives Napda and others the best chance to sneak in.
When the news of Zanpu's position reached Chiwang Xuzan, he had long since lost the majesty of his ancestors. Otherwise, it would be such a simple summons without a big ceremony and bow, and there would be no way to enter.
At this time, Chiwang Xuzan was already anxious. When he saw Napda coming in, he immediately ordered people to arrange brocade stools for them, and asked eagerly: "How many armored soldiers did Dongdai bring? Can they escort me out?"
To Naqu?”
At this time, the Tubo Empire had long since lost its rituals and music, and Dongdai, which was originally used to address local important ministers, could no longer be used by everyone, big or small.
Chi Wang Xu Zan Zan Pu's face also showed a bit of embarrassment. It seemed that it was nothing to escort him out of Nagqu, but Zan Pu wanted to get out. There was only one way, and that was to get rid of that little dog like Napda and the others.
hole out.
Napoda immediately rejected Zamp's proposal. He did not say that he was unable to take Zamp out, but advised: "It is not a good idea for Zamp to go to Duokang. The grievances of Niobagon's descendants have not yet been resolved."
Eliminate it.”
Napoda knew that Zampu didn’t want to go to Nagqu, but to Duokang.
There were two Duokangs at this time. The broad geographical concept of Duokang refers to the Hengduan Mountains in northwest Sichuan and northwest Yunnan.
The small Duokang was located near Shigatse in later generations.
Niobagon was the great-uncle of Zanpu Triwang Xuzan. He was expelled from Luoche to Duokang (near Shigatse) because he believed in Buddhism.
However, although they were expelled, after two generations of development, they actually gained some strength, which was better than being trapped in the Potala Palace.
Zanpu Chizan Xu Wang sighed and nodded. He actually knew that going to Duokang was not a good idea, but he really had no choice. He just asked with the last hope.
However, Chizan Xuwang was sighing, but his son Chanayixi Jiacan's eyes lit up. He said to his father: "Since Heishui Dongdai ventured into the palace, he must have been prepared. Why not invite Dongdai?"
Just try it."
That's right! Only then did Chizan Xu Wang react, "Dong Dai has any clever ideas that can help me get out of trouble. Please tell me and I will give you a reward."
Saying that, Chi Wang Xu Zan ordered someone to bring out a small box of treasures, which seemed to be the remaining wealth of the Zanpu family.
"I do have a plan, and I don't need a reward from Zanpu." Napda bowed and said.
"Loyal minister!" Chiwang Xuzan exclaimed. At this moment, he ventured into the palace without asking for a reward. He had not seen such a loyal minister for many years. He praised and helped Napda up with his own hands.
"For Zanpu's current plan, the only way to avoid this disaster is to seek refuge with his uncle's family!" Napda said calmly.
"Uncle's family?" Chiwang Xuzan was a little confused, and his son Zhanayixi Jiacan was also stunned.
The Cai Bang family of Triwang Xuzan's uncle had already been defeated in the struggle more than ten years ago and was driven out of Luoche, with no way to rely on him.
Moreover, Cai Bang's base is in Yalong, Shannan, and it is said that they have now got involved with Triwang Xuzan's distant cousin Chizha Xizibabai, and are preparing to support his uncle in Shannan.
general.
Well, this is really chaotic! Chiwang Xuzan was running around anxiously. Is there no room for such a big Tubo to accommodate his Zanpu?
"The uncle's family mentioned by Dong Dai is not the Cai Bang family, but the uncle's family of Zanpu's ancestor!"
Just when Chiwang Xuzan was extremely anxious, the tall man who had been standing behind Napda spoke.
"Ancestor's uncle's family?" Chiwang Xuzan still didn't understand. He really couldn't connect his uncle's family with the Central Plains.
"Zanpu's ancestor married Princess Dachao as Jumong, called His Majesty Dachao uncle, and called himself nephew. Zanpu's eighth grandmother was Princess Jincheng of Dachao, and she was also the nephew of Dachao.
Today, the Holy Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the Central Plains and the emperor of the later dynasty are brothers, and in terms of seniority, he is Zanpu's cousin."
Originally, Zhang Yan was supposed to be of the same generation as Chiwang Xuzan, but after Zhang Yan adopted Brother Yelvxiu as his adopted son, he forcibly raised himself up a generation, and now he is of the same generation as Yelu Abaoji.
Yelu Abaoji and Li Keyong were about to be brothers. Rounding it off, Zhang Gao was the same generation as Li Keyong and could be regarded as the uncle of Emperor Zhuangzong Li Cunxu.
Let’s look at Princess Jincheng again. Princess Jincheng was the sister of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. After all the twists and turns, Zhang Yan was the distant cousin of Zanpu Chiwang Xu Zan.
If we want to discuss this relationship for a longer time, we have to go back three hundred years. After all, Chiwang Xuzan is good at dealing with this kind of relationship, and it took him a long time to figure it out.
You asked Zamp if he would be dissatisfied? Don't be ridiculous. He has been trapped in the Potala Palace for generations. How can he have much temper? All he thinks about is how to escape. He is doomed to be killed by his whole family in the future.
The end of light.
When it comes to engaging in political struggles or even governing the country, Triwang Xu Zan is not good at it, but how can he sell Zan Pu's identity at a good price? He is from a clean background.
Moreover, Chiwang Xuzan is not worried that Napda is sent by the major families to fish. He is already so miserable. He is just a rubber seal. He is obedient and easy to use. There is no need to catch his fish! No!
necessary.
Usually, as long as the major families have agreed on something, Chiwang Xuzan only needs to nod in agreement.
If a foreign powerful faction came in to seize power now, Chiwang Xuzan would not be so nervous.
But when the Six Dharma Sect came, he was very afraid, because he was a direct descendant of the destroying Buddha Zan Purang Dama, so how could he not be afraid?
When he heard someone say this, he didn't even ask who the person who came with Napda was, who was obviously from the Central Plains Dynasty, and he got a little excited and asked doubtfully.
"So, my little Zampu is the nephew of the Supreme Dharma King? I wonder if my uncle has brought some gifts for my nephew?"
This was not only shameless, it was simply shameless. Even Lonpo Ren’s nephew, Lunbo Ren’s nephew, the Six Dharma Sect’s Swastika Dharma Practitioner, Lun Zhen, who had prepared a lot of rhetoric, was stunned. After a while, he said:
"If Zanpu is willing, the Supreme Dharma King would like to meet his nephew in Chang'an. If he has Buddha nature, he can return to Luxian and become a living Buddha in the future."
Chiwang Xuzan naturally knew the identity of the Living Buddha of the Six Dharma Sect, but he was frightened by this power struggle and immediately waved his hand.
"My nephew has little Buddha-nature. He only likes delicacies from mountains and seas, and sweet wines. But perhaps his descendants can have some Buddha-nature."
Lun Zhen understood and nodded slowly, "It doesn't matter if you don't have Buddha nature. The Supreme God has left big houses with three hundred rooms each in Chang'an, Luoyang and Tokyo for Zanpu.
Every year, Weiru’s taxes are all discounted and given to Zanpu, which is enough to support Zanpu’s family in the prosperous hometown of the Central Plains.”
For example, it is the administrative division of the Tubo Empire, and Weiru is basically around Luozhe.
Chiwang Xuzan nodded with satisfaction, "I heard that many mountain people may not be able to adapt when they come down the mountain."
Lun Zhen immediately said: "Then you can go to Kangding County, north of Ya'an Prefecture, to enjoy the cool weather."
Chiwang Xuzan originally wanted to say that it would be better if he could enjoy the cool weather in Qingtang, that is, Huangshui Mansion of the Han people, but he did not dare to mention it because the Supreme God would definitely not allow it.
"In that case, thank you very much, your envoy. If there is anything you need me to do, I will definitely support you."
....
Outside Luoche City, this strange event, which could not be said to be a battle or a party, had been lively for five or six days.
The city felt like it was facing a formidable enemy, and the people outside the city were eating and drinking in such a lively manner that the nobles of the major families in the city could no longer hold back any longer.
I sent envoys to ask, but they all got the same confusing answers.
Although there were so many eminent men of the Six Dharma Sects, Rinpoche was giving lectures, but it was not because the Gar family came back to take revenge, and asked Zanpu to lead his troops to fight to the death.
Simply sick!
All the big shots from the Lhasa royal family were thinking about it, but they couldn't figure out what kind of conspiracy there was.
But they know very well that they can no longer allow the Six Methods Sect to mess around outside. If they continue, they will win over the people's hearts. People like them may receive fox tails from various tribes, large and small.
It's no wonder that these people can't sit still. On the Qingtang Plateau, people who were trained by the Bon religion have a strong religious atmosphere. The teachings and methods of the Six Methods Sect have crushed the relatively primitive religion of the Bon religion in many aspects.
.
It is true that if they don't go to war, all the tribal people outside the city will be abducted by the Six Methods Sect.
Of course, it was not completely meaningless for them to wait these days, because Luoxue City was actually not very armed.
After all, it is the major families that support Zanpu, rather than Cao Mengde holding the emperor to order the princes. Therefore, each family has a tacit understanding and keeps the family's military force in their respective spheres of influence. Those who come to Luoxe City only bring
Got some basic security.
With these few days of buffering, the major families have already transferred their respective armies that are close to Luosu City to Luosuo.
The rumble of footsteps came, and Zanpu Chiwang Xuzan was wearing golden treasure armor. This was a very gorgeous Mingguang armor, and it looked like it came from the collection of the Li Tang court.
Although Chiwang Xuzan is not a tall man, the bright light armor makes him look like a heavenly being.
Behind Zanpu were the political and military groups such as Lu Hui, Ba, and La, as well as the private soldiers of big families such as the Bulu family, with more than 20,000 people, including at least 8,000 soldiers and cavalry.
They were arranged according to their respective family divisions, which can be regarded as the strongest military force that has appeared in Luoxue City in the past ten or twenty years.
Here, Lunbo Ren, together with Langjie Jiangcuo and others, also formed an array of more than 10,000 infantry cavalry on the plateau. Although they were small in number, they had about five or six thousand armored soldiers and cavalry. It seemed that both sides were at least on the same level.
At the elite level, they are evenly matched.
In other words, Bo Ren's side looks more majestic because they are all wrapped in white shirts and have many crossbows.
Seeing that a fight was really about to begin, the fun-loving people by the Jasa River became even more excited. They gathered around the armies of both sides, calling their friends, and they were as dark as crows, covering every place, waiting to watch the fun.
Of course, there are also some devout Buddhists who choose to stand with Lunbo Ren and others, but their number is not large, only about ten thousand people.
Lunpo Ren stood on a high place, stood on tiptoes, squinted his eyes and looked across. Finally, not far from Zanpu Triwang Xuzan, he saw Lunzhen, who was deliberately wearing a red robe and a white hat.
Lun Bo Ren was overjoyed, and then ordered his attendants to put on a silver-white cloth-covered iron armor and a composite iron helmet. He held a long spear in his hand and, escorted by two elite cavalry, came to the center in front of the two armies.
"Today's fight is all caused by hundreds of years of grievances between you and my family. How can I blame my ancestors? I tried my best to fight for Tubo, but ended up dead and dead. I am not willing to kill more people today. Please come out.
How about a showdown with someone, where each person wins or loses based on his own ability?"
Lu Hui, all the other family members including Lu were stunned, are you playing with the family?
And they could imagine that Zamp's face under the iron helmet at this moment must be ashen.
Because the Gar family has always produced fierce generals, the Lunbo Ren opposite him also looked like a warrior who had experienced hundreds of battles.
And Zanpu Triwang Xuzan is already over forty years old. He can wear dozens of kilograms of armor and ride a horse today, which is considered very good. How dare he go up to challenge Lunbo Ren?
However, to everyone's expectation, Zanpu Chiwang Xuzan actually clamped his horse's belly, rode the horse forward slowly, and took two guards with him, pretending to go into battle.
For a moment, the musicians cheered like a tsunami, and everyone felt that their outlook on life was about to be shattered. They even forgot to stop it.
"No! Zamp is leaving!" The leader of the most powerful Lu Hui Group had to be the smartest. He suddenly realized something was wrong. This was not a duel, Zamp was leaving!
He waved his hand, and more than ten riders immediately chased Zanpu Chiwang Xuzan.
Almost at the same time, Zampu, who was on horseback, suddenly jerked his horse's buttocks and ran away quickly in that direction.
The guards around Zanpu actually drew their swords, aimed at the cavalry chasing after Lu Hui's family, and killed them directly.
convex
It turned out that this was the case. The heads of other families immediately reacted and asked their cavalry to chase them.
It might as well be said that Bo Ren rode his horse straight up. He was dressed in silver armor and shouted, "The Lu Hui family held Zan Pu hostage and massacred the lama. I will only kill him today!"
Before the shouts could be heard, gongs rang out, and a team of fine cavalry that had been prepared rushed out from the Zhou army's formation and rushed towards the head of Lu Hui's house like flying. As for Zanpu, they had already been guarded by them and ran towards him.
Toward Zhou Jun's side.
"Wow!" After a uniform exclamation, all the onlookers were stunned. This is so exciting!
Almost at the same time, everyone except Lu Hui's family heard shouts of killing only Lu Hui's family that shook the roofs. They hesitated and failed to respond in time.
Afterwards, Lu Hui's family, who was not on much defense, was directly flooded, and Lu Hui's military formation was also washed to pieces.
The other families didn't know if they should go up, and after a while, they saw the Zhou army with infantry as the center, and cavalry coming from both wings.
Those people who were surrounding seemed to be starting to see the battle becoming one-sided, and then they were a little bit ready to make a move.
