Three hundred and thirtieth eight chapters arrive at the city of logic
In Luoche City, Tubo, the bustling and luxurious Tubo Palace in the past has completely lost the hustle and bustle of living there.
Although this pearl city standing on the plateau is eye-catching, it now seems a bit quiet and desolate.
The main force of 80,000 Tibetans was wiped out, Songtsen Gampo, Zampu, was captured alive, and Gar Qinling Zandhuo was forced to withdraw his troops. One by one, one by one... the last hope of the Tibetan ministers was directly destroyed.
For a time, the two voices of surrender and escape became the main theme of the debate in the court.
As a result, the entire city of Luoshe seemed to be hesitant, and everyone was frightened and trembling, fearing that a careless move would lead to an unforeseen disaster.
This is true even for Songtsen Gampo's son Gongri Gongtsen.
Gongri Gongzan was just seven years old this year, and he was not even able to judge right from wrong, so he was elected as the new Zanpu by the courtiers.
If Songtsen Gampo was still here, even if
Looking at the noisy courtiers, Gongri Gongzan, no matter how ignorant he was, felt the timidity of the courtiers.
According to reports from scouts, a Tang Army cavalry force arrived not far from Luoxue City.
This Tang army obviously came towards Luoshou City, but for some reason they did not attack the city immediately.
Most of the young men of Tibet were recruited by Songtsen Gampo to attack the Tang Dynasty. Now the only ones left in Luoxue City are just some soldiers and generals. How could they withstand the menacing Tang army?
The courtiers argued for a long time, but failed to come up with an outcome, which made Gongri Gongzan's heart sink.
Although he is still young, he grew up in the palace after all, so of course he knows to some extent what the courtiers are thinking.
The reason why they elected him to take over Zamp was because everyone just wanted him to stand up to the thunder!
The Tang army was coming fiercely, and the city was broken in just a matter of seconds. As the new Zanpu, Gongri Gongzan knew that he was just a scapegoat!
Even at a young age, I still have some fear of death.
Since his father Songtsen Gampo was captured by the Tang army, he himself became the scapegoat of these Tubo courtiers!
Gongri Gongzan was almost crying at this time!
No one wants to be a king who subjugates his country, let alone face the "devil army" that destroyed their main force of 80,000 Tibetans.
But now this demonic army has traveled thousands of miles to attack. It is obvious that they are here for Luozhu City. How can they give up without destroying the city and destroying the country?
At this time, Zamp's position was simply a hot potato. It was given to others for free and no one wanted it.
If he hadn't been too young and had no choice, Gongri Gongzan wouldn't have done it.
Although he is young, he is not stupid. Who would want to be the scapegoat?
Gongri Gongzan looked sad and said aggrievedly: "Deputy Prime Minister Zarquren, my father once told me that if he does not return from the war, if something big happens, let the Deputy Prime Minister directly decide;"
"Now that the Tang army is approaching the city, whether to fight or surrender, I ask the deputy prime minister to make a decision. I will give my full support. Otherwise, I will abdicate and give way to a worthy person. The position of Zanpu will be occupied by a virtuous person!"
Zharrenli stood aside and replied after hearing the words: "How about your Majesty giving an order to have Gar Qinling Zanzhuo return to help quickly? I think God will protect us from Tubo's destruction."
After saying that, he returned to his seat and watched with cold eyes. He didn't even mention the matter of Gongri Gongzan abdicating the throne in favor of a worthy person, and there was no look of surprise on his face.
All the ministers looked at each other, and they were all as afraid as tigers of the position of Zanpu.
If it were in the past, this would be a rare thing. I have only heard of fights to the death for the position of Zanpu, but I have never heard of people who were politely offered the position of Zanpu but no one dared to take it.
Hearing that there was a life-saving straw, Gongri Gongzan's face was full of desire for survival, and he hurriedly said: "Where is the minister? Why don't you hurry up and send an order for Gar Qinling Zandro to come to the rescue? It only takes ten Once the tens of thousands of troops arrive, they will be able to drive back the Tang army."
Valley
"Zanpu himself can't defeat the 80,000-strong main force, let alone Gar Qinling Zanzhuo. Even if he comes, it will be of little use." Jiumo Tuhamule couldn't help but strike.
After saying this, Gongri Gongzan suddenly panicked again and lost his mind.
After all, they were young and the two ministers of the DPRK and China were arguing endlessly and didn't know who to listen to.
Zarfanli took a step forward, knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Zanpu, if you surrender without a fight, wouldn't it mean that Tubo is cowardly? Although the Tang army is suppressing the border, Tubo does not necessarily have to perish. If it is really defeated, When the time comes, you can just hold your hands and bow to me."
"The Deputy Prime Minister is really good at making sarcastic remarks. Tubo's defeat is a foregone conclusion. It is better to surrender sooner rather than later. Besides, raising the flag and surrendering may save Tubo." Jiumo Tuhamul rubbed his sore shoulders.
Gongri Gongzan was immediately frightened!
This doesn’t work, that doesn’t work either, what should I do?
He was really disgusted with the title Zanpu. Although this title that he had dreamed of and longed for fell on him, he couldn't be happy. Instead, he was a little angry that could not be suppressed!
If the Tang army attacks Luoxue City, the first thing to do is to attack Zanpu!
Is this just like roasting me on the stove?
They are simply rebellious ministers and traitors, and everyone will find them and punish them!
Gongri Gongzan suddenly jumped up from the dragon chair and cursed: "Whoever wants to be Zanpu, I won't do it! You can do whatever you want."
After saying that, he ran out crying. He was still young and Gongri Gongzan really didn't want to die young.
The ministers were dumbfounded!
I thought, if you don’t take the blame, who will?
Who made you and me lose the battle? Not only did the main force of Tibet almost disappear, but you yourself were also left alive. Who is to blame?
As the saying goes, the father's debt must be repaid by the son, who should you blame?
Who asked Songtsen Gampo to stir up the hornet's nest of the Tang Dynasty?
Of course, the ministers would not really say what was on their mind to their faces, nor would they call out the crying Gongri Gongzan again.
After all, in the eyes of the ministers, Gongri and Gongzan were just a young man with wet breasts. He had no strength left to resist. It was not up to them to decide the final arrangement.
Regardless of whether Gongri Gongzan wanted it or not, all the ministers had placed Zanpu's name on his head. Even if the Tang army wanted to liquidate him in the end, it would not be their turn as ministers.
In the palace hall, all the ministers had their own agendas and were secretly planning for their future.
If a man does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth!
Judging from the situation, Tubo's defeat is certain and there is no room for struggle.
If he switches to the Tang Dynasty, this will be a feat of expanding the territory...
The ministers who supported surrender suddenly became more active.
Of course, Yang Fan did not know these calculations of the Tubo courtiers.
The reason why they deliberately stationed themselves outside Luoche City instead of attacking Luoche City was to wait for the army of Gar Qinling Zanzhuo.
If he attacks Luoshe City first, Gar Qinling Zandhuo may run away with his army, and it will not be easy to catch him then.
If the palace was still there, these Tibetan armies would definitely come to the rescue. After all, Luoxue City is the spiritual symbol of Tibet.
