Six hundred and fiftieth eight chapters do not cause trouble nor be afraid of trouble
Another advantage of moving the capital is that it can eliminate the influence of the old nobles.
Many of the old nobles who rebelled before surrendered later. For the sake of Tubo's stability, he did not attack those people.
After moving the capital to a new location, those old nobles will no longer have a foundation, and internal hidden dangers can be eliminated.
"My lord, Luoche is indeed a good place. There are fertile plains everywhere. Moving there will allow more people to engage in farming. But the old nobles will not agree. Even the tribes who have always supported the lord will not agree."
I will object." Lu Dongzan said.
Before Tubo, it was actually a tribe on the plateau. It was not until Songtsen Gampo unified the plateau that it became a real country.
Tubo is mountainous, and most of the areas are grazing, and only some plain areas are engaged in farming.
The original capital of Tubo was surrounded by mountainous areas, and the tribesmen were accustomed to herding animals. They could not accept it when they were suddenly asked to come to the plains to engage in farming.
You must know that many of these tribes supported Songtsan Gampo from the beginning, otherwise Songtsan Gampo would not have unified the plateau so quickly.
If even these people began to oppose Songtsen Gampo, Tibet would probably fall into civil strife.
"Don't worry, Imperial Master, I am sure to convince them." Songtsen Gampo said confidently.
Although he was the 33rd Zanpu of Tubo, he was actually the founder of the Tubo dynasty. He had this confidence.
"I hope the monarch will be gentler. If that doesn't work, the matter of moving the capital can be slowed down." Lu Dongzan said with some worry.
The persuasion mentioned by Songtsen Gampo is naturally impossible to convince with just a few words. Other means need to be added, and even killing a few chickens is necessary to shock.
He was afraid that Songtsen Gampo's methods would be too drastic and cause more people to resist, and Tibet might fall into civil strife again.
"Don't worry, Imperial Master, I know it well." Songtsen Gampo said nonchalantly.
Ludong sighed in praise, but Songtsen Gampo obviously didn't listen to his words.
But he knew that it was useless to say anything now, and he did not continue to say anything.
I can only advise you when the time comes.
…
"How is it? Has Tubo agreed to withdraw its troops?" Hou Junji asked, but his tone was very certain, as if he was very sure that Tibet would withdraw its troops.
Deng Zhuo smiled and said: "Fortunately, Tubo has already agreed. As long as Tuyuhun delivers the promised things, Tubo will immediately withdraw its troops."
"In this case, you arrange for someone to go to Tuyuhun and tell them to send the promised things there as soon as possible." Hou Junji said.
"General, please go down." Deng Zhuo volunteered.
Hou Junji waved his hand and said: "You have worked hard all the way, so you should take a good rest. This time it is just a message. You don't need to go there in person."
"Thank you, General, for your understanding." Deng Zhuo did not persist.
Tuyuhun was now eager for Tubo to withdraw its troops. Knowing that Tubo had promised to withdraw its troops, he would immediately send his things there without any urging.
"General, my subordinates have something unclear. The general seems to know the situation in Tibet very well. If he knows that Tibet will definitely retreat," Deng Zhuo said with some doubts.
"When I arrived in Songzhou, His Majesty sent someone to send some information. The information showed that there were many old nobles in Tubo who were eager to make moves after Songtsan Gampo left Tubo. Songtsan Gampo must know this, but he felt that it was very
Tuyuhun can be destroyed soon, so there is no retreat. The Tang Dynasty sending troops also means that Tubo cannot annex Tuyuhun in a short time. Songtsen Gampo is worried about the fire in the backyard, so naturally he will not continue to persist." Hou Junji said.
When Baiqi's people sent him information, he was shocked when he read the information.
Because of altitude sickness, the Central Plains has known very little about the information on the plateau since ancient times.
The fact that Baiqi understood Tubo so clearly shows that Li Shimin had already deployed men deep into the plateau.
Then Hou Junji felt a sense of fear. Li Shimin had such clear information about the plateau, but what about Chang'an?
Thinking of the letter he wrote before leaving Chang'an, Hou Junji turned pale.
If Li Shimin discovers it, the Hou family will be doomed.
However, it was too late to send people back at this time. Hou Junji could only hope that Hou De's actions were more secretive and were not discovered by Baiqi.
The Baiqi of the Tang Dynasty are somewhat similar to the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty. They are both responsible for the honor guard and safety of the emperor when he travels.
The difference is that because Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to attack those heroes, the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty gave them the right to investigate and interrogate.
In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang once told a private conversation between an official and a concubine as a joke in order to shock the officials.
But none of the officials could laugh.
The official and the concubine must have been talking in a relatively private time, so that they could be heard by the Jin Yiwei. This shows that there is someone from the Jin Yiwei in the official's family.
What about them?
Although these officials suspected that there was someone placed by Jinyiwei in their home, they did not dare to investigate. If they did, wouldn't it mean that there was something wrong in their minds?
As a result, those officials acted more carefully and did not dare to mess around.
In his later years, Zhu Yuanzhang also began to restrict the rights of Jin Yiwei. It was not until Zhu Di Jingnan ascended the throne that he restored his previous rights again in order to trace the whereabouts of Jianwen's remaining party and Emperor Jianwen.
It can be said that the Jinyiwei is the sword in the emperor's hand. When the emperor needs it, he will unsheath the sword.
The power of Baiqi is much smaller than that of Jinyiwei, and the intelligence collected will only be reported to Li Shimin.
Baiqi must have collected a lot of information about officials, but Li Shimin has never used this information to do anything, so Baiguan doesn't know Baiqi well, so naturally he won't be afraid.
Hou Junji noticed the tip of the iceberg of Baiqi and was so frightened that he had no intention of staying here any longer. He wanted to return to Chang'an after the Tubo army retreated to see if Li Shimin had discovered what he had done.
…
After the banquet was over, Lin Xuan returned to the military camp and had Xue Rengui and others called over.
"See you, General." Everyone saluted.
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said: "No courtesy, please sit down."
After everyone sat down, Lin Xuan asked: "After setting up camp, Xue Yantuo's people didn't come to cause trouble, right?"
"Back to General, no one came to provoke me," Xue Rengui said.
Lin Xuan nodded and said: "Remember to take care of the soldiers and are not allowed to leave the camp."
Most of these soldiers are from the north. The north has been plundered by nomadic tribes since ancient times, which can be described as a blood feud.
There must be many soldiers whose family members died at the hands of the Turks. If they are not restrained, they may cause trouble.
Now we still need Xue Yantuo to consume the strength of the Western Turks, but there can be no problems.
"General, my subordinates have been notified. We will work as a unit and supervise each other. There will be no problems." Xue Rengui said.
He knew the overall plan and naturally knew that he could not conflict with Xue Yantuo at this time.
"Well, we did a good job, but we don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble. If someone comes to provoke, don't be polite and deal with it severely." Lin Xuan said.
