Another August.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching again, and the merchants in Hanjing began to use the Mid-Autumn Festival to conduct marketing as usual. This year, the weather in various places was good, and they destroyed Japan in the first half of the year, and the Alagan and the Lion Kingdom in the second half of the year, which was a joy for the Chinese people.

Morning court.

"Xuanpu Songtsen Gampo to meet with Tubo!"

"Prince!"

With the sounds, Songzan's dry cloth with a red face and a felt fur, climbed up to the hall.

"Long live the sinner Songtsen Gampo, the king of Tubo, to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor."

After entering the hall, Songtsen Gampo did not even dare to raise his head and knelt on the ground.

He did not even call himself Tubo Zamp but called himself the king of Tubo. Tubo once paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty and was appointed as a vassal state by the Tang Dynasty.

Among the officials in the palace with gorgeous clothes, it was always strange that a Tubo Zamp with a big red face and a felt fur appeared.

"King of Tubo, raise your head and let me take a look!"

A thick voice came from a distance, and Songtsen Gampo quickly looked up.

A sharp look came to a glance, and a middle-aged Han man came into his eyes.

He had seen the portrait of this emperor, but when he saw the real person, he felt more elegant, with a bit unruly and a bit majestic.

"It's really young. I heard that you ascended the throne at the age of thirteen and then led the troops to quell the rebellion at the age of fourteen. Over the years, you have successively quelled the rebellions of various Tubo tribes and annexed Xiangxiong. You are very capable."

Songtsen Gampo knelt there and did not dare to answer the conversation.

After his deeds were deliberately promoted on the plateau, they were indeed like a god of war in the eyes of the herdsmen. But if they were put in the Central Plains, it would be too much. Not to mention that this man who started from scratch and is now the most powerful emperor in the world, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin who was driven down by Zhang Chao, raised an army at the age of sixteen and then captured the world.

"Qi Zongnong, you are a smart person and a skilled person, but after all, Tubo is just a small border country. In the past, if the Central Plains were unable to make any moves, we could be at peace. But now, Dahua will no longer regard Tubo and ignore it. Since Tubo was my vassal state of the Central Plains back then, why did he leave later?"

Songtsen Gampo lowered his head and dared not answer.

"Qi Zongnong, why do you think you are coming to the Central Plains to see me now?"

"Tubo's loyalty to the Central Plains has not changed. It was just that Tubo had encountered rebellion before, and the criminals were busy quelling the rebellion and failed to come to the Central Plains to meet the emperor. Now that the civil strife has been quelled, the criminals came to apologize." Songtsen Gampo said the same as it was.

Zhang Chao smiled slightly.

This kind of lies is all loopholes.

But despite this, he did not think about exposing it.

It doesn't matter whether it is exposed or not. He is willing to see him today because he still has some value in use.

"The abandoned Zongnong, now Yang Tong has already surrendered to Dahua and is my Dahua vassal. In the future, Tubo will not be allowed to attack Yang Tong anymore. If there is any violation of Yang Tong, it will be regarded as an attack on Dahua."

Songtsen Gampo nodded, "I will follow the sages!"

"Also, Xiangxiong was already a vassal of the Central Plains twenty years ago. You, Tubo, invaded and annexed Xiangxiong for no reason, is to provoke the majesty of the Dahua Empire. I think you are still young and ignorant, and you will not punish you for your first offense. But you must order the withdrawal of troops from Xiangxiong, and hand Xiangxiong over to our Dahua army, and restore the Xiangxiong Kingdom by the Dahua army."

Songtsen Gampo felt disgusting as if he had eaten a fly.

It is said that Xiangxiong was restored, but who didn't know that Dahua wanted to pick peaches. They tried hard to destroy Xiangxiong Kingdom, but Dahua wanted to accept it. At that time, he would randomly enthrone a prince Xiangxiong as the king, and then Xiangxiong Kingdom would become a vassal of Dahua. In the future, more Han princes might have to be enfeoffed. At that time, Xiangxiong became another Tuyuhun, or Supi.

But it doesn't work if you don't agree.

"I obey the order."

Zhang Chao still smiled and continued to say slowly.

"I have conferred you as Duke of Tubo and a vassal of the princes of Dahua."

When Tubo Zanpu became Duke of Tubo, Songtsen Gampo hesitated.

With this agreement, the Tubo Dynasty disappeared, and from then on, only the Tubo country was enfeoffed.

"What, don't you want to?" Zhang Chao asked.

Songtsen Gampo was still hesitating.

"Since you don't want to, then you can continue to be your Tubo king. If you don't want to be a vassal, you can continue to be a subordinate of a vassal state."

Upon hearing this, Songtsen Gampo nodded immediately.

But he did not see a murderous intent flashing in the emperor's eyes.

That was an opportunity. If Songtsen Gampo could agree to be a vassal, his result might be better. But if he didn't even want this, then this person would be unfaithful. How could such a Tubo king be kept?

"King of Tubo, since you are willing to continue to be a vassal state of Dahua, I still have to test your loyalty before I can believe you."

"The King of Jie Ri has passed away and is now in constant civil strife. Previously, Dahua, I, had already expressed my respects and refused to fight. I offered to quit for one year and specially sent an envoy to pay my condolences."

The envoy of Dahua recently had an accident in the Kingdom of Jie Ri.

The messenger was just going to convey the meaning of Dahua's quit so that they could continue to fight.

As a result, as soon as the messenger passed, the Kingdom of Jiri had actually selected a new king, and the new king was Princess Lagassi, the sister of King Jiri.

The princess herself has no power. She was actually named a princess because she has no power and is relatively young.

Originally, a princess with no foundation and power ascended the throne and became the new king, which was also very consistent with the interests of the kings and princes of the vassal states of the Jiji Kingdom.

At this point, everyone was originally happy.

However, there was a vassal king, Aronasun, the king of the Emperor of the North, who was strong and ambitious. When the princess was made the new queen, he proposed to the princess, hoping to marry the princess. In this way, he could marry a beautiful princess and take advantage of the situation to possess the entire Jieji Kingdom.

Such good things are well planned, but Princess Lagassi does not like this Aronasun. This Aronasun is ugly and cruel, especially with countless wives and concubines. How could the princess want to marry him? How could she not know his ambition?

The princess rejected Aronasun's proposal.

As a result, Aronatun, who was so angry, rebelled directly. He led his troops to launch a mutiny, seized the capital, and usurped the throne directly.

At the critical moment, the princess fled to the camp of the envoy of Dahua and asked for protection of Dahua. The people of Aronasun chased the princess to the camp, and even the envoys of Dahua were surrounded and captured.

Fortunately, there are also agents from the Jinyiwei in Qunun City.

They organized a special rescue and rescued the envoy of Dahua. When the envoy escaped, they took the princess away.

The messenger had fled the Kingdom of Jiri and returned to his trustworthiness.

Now Princess Lagassi is asking Dahua to send troops to help her quell the rebellion and regain the throne.

Originally, this requirement was a bit strange. Dahua and Jieji Kingdom were hostile. But Zhang Chao thought this matter was quite operational.

The Queen is a very good pawn.

Of course, Zhang Chao was unwilling to do something like that by asking Dahua to send troops to fight for the throne for the queen.

Now Tubo Zanpu is coming to his door, so Zhang Chao plans to let him come forward.

"I want to let Tubo, Nibharu, Yangtong, Xiangxiong and the five great vassal states of Kamoluobo send troops to the Abha Day to help Queen Lagashuri call on the old subordinates of the Abha Day to attack Abha Shun together."

Zhang Chao asked Tubo to send 20,000 troops, Nibra to send 10,000 troops, Yang Tong, Pictograph and Kamohobo each sent 10,000 troops, and sent troops from several sides to attack the traitor of Jieri Aronasun.

Songtsen Gumbu's mouth twitched.

What a move to drive a tiger and swallow a wolf.

Who doesn’t know that Dahua and Jie Ri have been fighting for several years. Jie Ri can be said to be the enemy of Dahua’s trustworthiness. But now, he will still enthusiastically help King Jie Ri’s sister to suppress the rebellion and regain the throne. Who would believe that if he is so kind?

But now when he heard that Zhang Chao said that he would help the Queen quell the rebellion, he wanted Tubo and Nibura and other countries to quell the rebellion. Why didn’t Dahua send troops?

Yangtong and Xiangxiong are both kingdoms on the plateau, and Xiangxiong is still occupied by Tubo. As for the Kamoth wave, which was formerly called Donghui Kingdom, was in the east of the Jieji Kingdom.

According to Xindu people, as early as 1,5600 years ago, the Kirata people crossed the mountain pass in the eastern part and came to that land, and gradually settled and reproduced in the local area. By a thousand years ago, they established the Donghui Kingdom, meaning the land of light in the east.

To this day, Donghui Kingdom is called the Kingdom of Kamolebola.

Now, this kingdom has reached its peak and ruled the vast area from the Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal.

In the eyes of these Xindu people, the Kirata people were called Xirong in ancient China, originated in the Wei River Basin and were an ancient Qiang ethnic group. In ancient Chinese legend, the Chilie tribe of the Sanwei tribe of the Yan Emperor tribe, Qiang Tongjiang, was named after the original surname of Yan Emperor.

This tribe crossed the mountain pass to this side of the mountain at a very early age, and has been settling here until now.

These Huang-type Qiang people have always competed with the countries of Xindu. When King Jie Ri conquered Bei Xindu, King Donghui Bascalavana, who judged the situation, formed an alliance with King Jie Ri, and avoided the war.

When the Dahua army seized Jida and stationed in the Bay of Bengal, King Donghui was very aware of the times and sent people to Hanjing to make a pilgrimage, requesting to be a vassal state.

However, this kind of vassal is actually the same as the vassals of Tubo and Nipola. It is just a superficial vassal, but it is still independent in fact.

This is the same as the original King of Jade Ri to the north, but except for Sata Nishivara, Kanaji, Magadha, and Jajujira under its direct control, the other thirty kingdoms each have their own monarchs, army, and bureaucratic systems and legal systems.

Therefore, the Jie Japanese Dynasty can only be regarded as an alliance, and only when he dies will he immediately have civil strife.

Aronasun was able to usurp the throne precisely because he was a monarch of a vassal state with a strong army.

If such vassal states are too far away to reach, then they cannot be controlled anyway. It would be good to be regarded as ministers in name, but since Dahua is a place where they can manage, of course they would not be willing to have such vassal states.

Let the five feudal countries send troops to help the queen fight against Japanese civil war. Anyway, no matter how they fight, they will be fighting against ghosts. Dahua just sits in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and waits to clean up the mess.

Songtsen Gampo became more and more entangled, and it was just one by one. The emperor had already dug countless pits waiting for him to jump. He avoided that pit, but could not avoid this pit.

If you are not a vassal or a vassal, you have an obligation to a vassal.

The emperor asked him to send troops, how could he not send troops?

If you do not send troops, you will not fulfill your obligations as a vassal state. The emperor will have reason and excuse to attack him, a disobedience state.
