A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Support?"

"Yes, support." Lu Dongzan continued, "We will save the royal family of Persia if necessary, and wait until Datang is ready to send troops, because we are afraid that the flames of war in Persia will spread to Tubo."

"If it spreads to Tubo, it will be a big deal!" Songtsan Gampo also said, "Sitting in the palace, you can't imagine that it would not be a big deal if Dashi conquered Persia, but if it even conquered Tubo, then it would be no big deal." It’s just about the Middle East, if Tubo is in chaos, the entire Western Regions will be in chaos.”

Lu Dongzan listened attentively.

Songtsan Gampo added, "If the flames of war spread to the Western Regions, then the west of the Tang Dynasty will be threatened, and it will affect the whole body. Not only the Western Regions but also Mobei will take action. It is very likely that the Dashi will win Persia." Pointing at Tubo, after all, Tianzhu is still there. Once they enter Tubo again, the West that Datang has managed for so many years will fall short. The prince of Dashi died in the hands of Tang Jun, so this time Dashi is with hatred Come here, in Guan Zhong’s words, you won’t let it go!”

"Yes." Lu Dongzan nodded, "Zanpu, what are we going to do."

Songtsan Gampo paced back and forth and said, "For the time being, follow the orders of the Tang Dynasty, and you can only do what they say. Once Persia shows signs of defeat, immediately take all the Tubo people to move to the Western Regions. If It is necessary to escape all the way to Yumen Pass, and we must preserve our Tibetan blood."

Lu Dongzan nodded vigorously.

"I really want to go back to Tibet." Songtsan Gampo looked at the small window on the cell wall.

Knowing that Li Shimin would not let Songtsen Gampo go easily, Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Zanpu! Lu Dongzan will definitely build up Tubo so that Tubo will have enough confidence to stand in front of Datang, and Li Shimin will face Tubo squarely. Then let them release Zamp."

"Don't think so much. I don't worry if you are in Tubo. Now you have to keep an eye on Persia's movements." Songtsan Gampo said worriedly, "How is the Potala Palace?"

"It's still the same." Lu Dongzan said.

"I see." Songtsan Gampo nodded disappointedly.

"Don't worry, Zanpu, I will definitely rebuild the Potala Palace!" Lu Dongzan saluted Songtsan Gampo, "Under the leadership of Zanpu, Tubo was once stronger! Although it was only a few years ago, the hearts of Tubo people Everyone remembers Zanpu’s achievements, the Potala Palace is what Zanpu left behind, it must be preserved, and the Potala Palace must be built.”

"Don't force it." Songtsan Gampo instructed, "Everything must be focused on the people. I have heard a lot of things during my stay in Tang Dynasty these years, and I also understand that the country is strong when the people are strong, and the country is strong when the people are rich." To be rich, Tubo needs to learn a lot, come to Tang Dynasty more, learn more from Tang Dynasty! You will find that you can avoid a lot of detours, don’t underestimate the Central Plains, no matter decades or hundreds of years, we all Don't underestimate the ability of the people in the Central Plains, they can always stand up in the flames of war, and every rise and fall is worth our scrutiny."

Lu Dongzan bowed deeply to Songtsan Gampo.

"Go back and take good care of the people of Tubo." Songtsan Gampo said, picking up a book on the ground and handing it to him, "This is a book from Guanzhong. The name of this book is the Analects. Take it back and read it." look."

"En!" Lu Dongzan nodded vigorously, "Zanpu! Since Songtsan Gampo, there is no Zanpu in Tubo, only Tubo County and there is no Tubo anymore."

The voice stopped, and Di Renjie saw Lu Dongzan walking back, "Is it finished?"

"It's over." Lu Dongzan replied, "I'm going to Tubo right now, gather Tubo warriors to go to Persia, and I will complete the mission entrusted to Tubo by the Tang Dynasty."

When Di Renjie led Lu Dongzan out of the dungeon, he saw Gu Qing talking and laughing with Dali Siqing.

"Then I will take my leave first." Gu Qing said to Dali Siqing, "Please rest assured about the future."

"That's good." Dali Siqing also said with a smile.

Lu Dongzan left Chang'an and rode a fast horse all the way towards Tubo. On the second day, the Minister of Dali Temple resigned to Li Er.

Chapter 534 The Silk Road War ([-])

Dali Siqing, who was nearly 60 years old, already had white hair. Li Er also nodded to let the old man resign and gave him a lot of money. Wang Qin personally sent Dali Siqing out of the palace gate.

In the setting sun, Di Renjie had been standing in front of Chengtian Gate, looking at the old man who had taken off his official uniform and came out, unable to speak for a long time.

"From now on, Dali Temple will be handed over to you." Dali Temple Qing took a deep look at Di Renjie, then smiled and passed the young man.

After regaining his senses, Di Renjie turned around and looked at the back who was walking away step by step, knelt on one knee and said loudly, "Dali Siqing has a good journey!"

The old figure smiled as he walked all the way.

On the second day after Dali Temple Minister resigned, Li Er ordered Di Renjie to be promoted to Dali Temple Minister.

Being promoted is a great event. Di Renjie was not in a hurry to celebrate, but came to a dark room in Dali Temple. There were many, many files here. These files were usually only read by the Minister of Dali Temple. The records were all things that could not be seen. .

Walking in the dim dark room, Di Renjie breathed the dusty air here, picked up a file and read it, there were two words written on this file, Gu Qing!

Holding the candle in his hand, Di Renjie carefully looked at the words on it: In the ninth year of Zhenguan, traces of Gu Qing were found in the east of Jingzhou. His language was strange and he was wearing strange clothes. No one from his clan was found in the Central Plains. Suspect!

After ten years of chastity, I searched for clues again, and went to Lingnan to find Gu Qing's origin, but failed, doubt!

In the 15th year of Zhenguan, His Majesty ordered to go to the west to find Gu Qing's origin, but failed, doubt!

In the 16th year of Zhenguan, His Majesty ordered to look for Gu Qing's origin again, and went to the northwest to go to the wilderness, but failed, doubt!

……

They all had the same result. After reading it, Di Renjie put down the file in his hand. Unexpectedly, His Majesty has been searching for the origin of the teacher. After so many years of searching, there is still no clue.

Pick up another dossier, on which is written the word Yang Sheng, Yang Sheng, born in the Yang family of Xiaqu Village, Hanguguan, his parents died in his early years, he joined the army in the ninth year of Daye, and Yang Xuangan joined the army in the 12th year of Daye under the command of Li Mi... …

After checking here for a long time, I still haven't found Wang Qin's file. In Chang'an, besides the Green Gang, there is also a force in the hands of His Majesty. This force has always been controlled by Wang Qin. The threat of the Green Gang is also the power in Wang Qin's hands. It's a pity. I can't find it, it seems that I'm not here, Di Renjie sighed and walked out of the dark darkroom and locked it, walked into the sun and headed home all the way, and wanted to tell the teacher that he became the Minister of Dali Temple.

When I came to the gate of Chang'an City, I saw Pei Xingjian interrogating several traders here.

"Chang'an order?" Di Renjie asked with a smile.

"I've met the Minister of Dali Temple." Pei Xingjian also saluted with a smile, "You are..."

"Go back next time." Di Renjie nodded, "Excuse me."

"Walk slowly."

The greetings between the two were sparse and ordinary, but they understood each other's meaning through their eyes. Di Renjie walked out of Chang'an City, and Chu Suiliang walked with the prince.

"Your Majesty sees His Highness the Crown Prince, and I have seen Zhongshuling!" Pei Xingjian saluted the two of them.

"He's a good boy, he won the imperial examination, and he was the order of Chang'an at a young age." Li Chengqian observed Pei Xingjian, "I found a lot of Gu Qing's shadow in you, and you entered the court at a young age like Gu Qing. Back then, Gu Qing was just like you. When I was young, I was already the servant of the household department."

"His Royal Highness is too famous." Pei Xingjian still started

"This time, His Royal Highness and the old man have something to discuss with you." Chu Suiliang spoke to him quietly, "All the road guides in Chang'an are in your hands. We want to see how Chang'an has been going in and out over the years."

"His Royal Highness, please, the Zhongshu order will follow me."

Li Chengqian followed Pei Xingjian, and the so-called "seeing the way" was just an excuse. Now most of the young faction in the court are in the hands of Gu Qing, and there are very few who can have real skills. Naturally, Pei Xingjian is one of the leaders of the younger generation. Officials don't care about it. In the future, when I ascend the throne, I will naturally have my own team. Whether it is Gu Qing's people or the old people left by the father, if I want to quickly have my own team, I have to hold the imperial examination again.

Chang'an was still the same as usual, lively and peaceful, Cheng Yaojin was drinking at home, and put down the bowl depressedly, "What's wrong these days, Chang'an is so quiet, even that boy Gu Qing doesn't come to my Cheng's house to drink? Did this kid forget me, someone Cheng?"

"Old man Cheng!" Niu Jinda came uninvited, "I'm so busy these days, have you had any bad luck recently, let me have fun by telling it."

Cheng Yaojin, "Hehe."

Gu family

Di Renjie said to Gu Qing who was busy making popsicles, "Teacher, the student is already Dali Siqing."

"Try it to see if it's too sweet."

Taking the popsicle handed by Gu Qing, Di Renjie took a bite, "It seems that it can be sweeter."
