Li Hong stood up slowly, walked to Ashinu, patted Ashinu's shoulder gently, and said lightly: "Except for King Liang, you have never had contact with anyone else in the Tang Dynasty, so even him I haven’t had any contact with my subordinates?”
"No, I only had contact with King Liang. Every time I went to Liangzhou, there was a concierge and one of his personal eunuchs. And every time I went, I only saw these few people, and no other people at all. Pass." Li Hong's big hands grasped his shoulders like iron pliers, making him feel that these powerful hands could easily crush the bones of his shoulders.
There must be someone else behind them, but who
Isn't this person a member of the royal family, but a ghost in Taiyi City
But this group of people put Li Zhong in the spotlight, obviously to protect the people behind them from being discovered.
And Prince Liang was just a cover to divert his attention. It was just to create an illusion for myself that Liang Wang Li Zhong was the mastermind.
Li Hong scratched his head helplessly, his long ink-like hair tied randomly behind his head, and paired with his stern face, it gave people a domineering impact.
"When did you get in touch with King Liang? After your country was destroyed?" Li Hong walked back behind the table, sat down and asked.
"It's almost the same. Before the Chamber of Commerce was held in Taiyi City, I suddenly received a letter from an unknown source, saying that he could help me restore the country, but the condition was that I surrender to Tibet. I didn't think much about it at the time, I just wanted to give it a try. …”
"Is this a letter from Lu Dongzan to you?" Li Hong interrupted Ashinu and asked.
Ashinu looked at Li Hong in surprise. He didn't say who gave the letter, so why could he guess it at once? Did he already know everything from Lu Dongzan's mouth
At that moment, Ashinu did not dare to hide it anymore, and honestly told Li Hong everything about Lu Dongzan's letter, meeting with him, asking him to see the King of Liang, and acting as a messenger between the two.
If history remembers correctly, in the first year of Xianheng, Tubo invaded the four towns of Anxi on a large scale and captured the three towns of Khotan, Shule and Qiuci in a very short period of time.
The remaining Suiye Town was occupied by the Ashina Du clan. The four towns of Anxi were divided between the two, and the border of Tubo suddenly became adjacent to the Ashina Duzhi.
At that time, there was only one Tang Dynasty left in the Western Regions, the Kangju Governor's Mansion, which was isolated to the west by Tubo, which was the original territory of Kang State.
Its governor was also served by King Fuhuman of the Kang State, but the Tang Dynasty had already idled there. It was not until three years later that the four towns of Anxi were retaken, and it was not restored.
And Ashinu, at that time, became the victim of both Tubo and Ashina Duzhi. After Tubo occupied the Western Region, they were at loggerheads with each other for a while, and finally reached a peace agreement. Ashnu was handed over to the Ashina Duzhi by Tubo, and no one knew his final whereabouts.
And history, because of the appearance of Li Hong, not only did the four towns of Anxi not fall, but he suppressed and recovered the Ashina Duzhi and Li Zhekai in a very short time, and at the same time miraculously entered the Tubo King's City, breaking history in one fell swoop. regular pattern.
The current wheel of history has long lost its original trajectory under Li Hong's strong interference. There is no longer any trajectory to follow, and it will all be a legendary moment.
Ashinu looked at Li Hong sitting there with his eyebrows furrowed and silent, and did not dare to interrupt Li Hong's thinking. He carefully half-pull his buttocks and gently leaned against the chair, waiting for Li Hong's questions.
Seeing that Li Hong couldn't ask anything valuable from Ashino, he just silently tapped the table with his index finger.
He didn't bother to ask Ashinu about Tubo affairs. He was afraid that Lu Dongzan, Mangsong Mangzan, and Aunt Wencheng would not let him, an outsider, know some of the core affairs of Tubo.
"What are your plans now?" Li Hong suddenly raised his head and asked.
Seeing Li Hong lost in thought for a long time, Ashinu was also lost in his own thoughts. When Li Hong suddenly asked, he was startled and almost sat down from the chair to the ground.
"I... I am willing to obey His Highness's orders, regardless of whether he is in front of me or behind the horse." Ashinu also knew now that he was no longer valuable in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.
Most of the troops who had followed him to defect to Tubo had already been divided into various troops by the Tubo people.
After Li Hong went in and out to conquer Tubo, he was dead and injured, and I am afraid there are not many people left.
"Let's do this, you can start as a fire chief. As for how far you can go in the future, it depends on your merits on the battlefield. Follow the lawless troops." Li Hong said easily.
The Huo Chang was the lowest officer in the Tang army. Ten people are a fire, fifty people are a team, and three hundred people are a regiment. In an organization like the Tang Dynasty, if you want to stand out with military exploits, it is actually not difficult.
Ashinu originally thought that Li Hong would give him a regimental captain who could lead 300 people, but he didn't expect that he would be asked to climb up from the lowest level of fire chief.
After hearing Li Hong's words, he was stunned for a moment. Before he could answer, he only saw Li Hong raised his eyes and said lightly: "What? Still unwilling?"
"No, no, no, I don't dare, I am willing to obey your orders." Ashino stood up quickly and waved his hand.
"Tubo handed you over to me, which means that you are of no use to anyone. I gave you Huo Chang because of my old friend. If I hadn't burned your hand at that time, I don't have to worry about your life or death." After Li Hong finished speaking, he waved to him and led him out of the room.
Hua Meng and Jing Zhe, who were at the door, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Li Hong coming out.
Although the prince is now a full-fledged military man, facing Ashinu, he has an absolute advantage in terms of force confrontation.
But they were still worried in their hearts, leaving the prince alone in the room to talk to Ashino. If something went wrong, everything would be lost.
Jingzhe took Ashinu away slowly, and Li Hong started wandering around the Potala Palace. This place had already been explored by him.
He was still not used to the maze-like place and small houses, so he simply moved his dormitory to the sunniest place, opened the window, and could overlook the entire Luoxue City.
The ruins of the Luoshu City that was blown up by him are no longer in ruins. Many Tibetan craftsmen are transporting bricks and tiles there and starting to repair the city wall.
The homeless Tubo people whose houses were bombed have also been resettled in other places by Pei Xingjian in the name of Deputy Prime Minister of Tubo.
Li Hong would let go of officials whose ranks were not high enough. Currently, there are only a dozen or so Tibetan officials left in the Potala Palace.
Garzandhuo walked in respectfully under the leadership of Banmei. Seeing Li Hong looking at Luoxe City in a daze at his feet, he stood there waiting without disturbing him.
"How's it going? Are you done discussing it?" Li Hong asked without looking back, staring outside.
"We agree with your proposal. As soon as the Tang Dynasty's petition comes, we will recognize you as our Tubo son and agree that you supervise the state affairs." Garzandhuo's tone was calm, without any trace of the tragic feeling of a minister who had lost his power and humiliated the country. feel.
"Why didn't my aunt come over and tell me?" Li Hong turned his head and stretched out his hand to motion for Garzandra to sit down.
He is the real murderer of Garzandra's father, Ludongzan. I think Garzandra should also know very well who killed his father.
But when Garzandra faced himself, he didn't see any hatred at all. When he faced himself, he was just like facing other people, without any emotional fluctuations of hatred.
This made Li Hong have to admire Garzhanzhuo's city government. No wonder that after he returned to Luoxe City, Chamo was willing to give up his position as prime minister and become deputy prime minister to assist him.
"Holy Savior Mother Buddha has Buddhist duties to do in the afternoon and cannot be delayed, so she ordered me to inform you." Galzandra said calmly after sitting down without being humble or saying anything.
"Do you also believe in Buddhism?" Li Hong asked.
"I believe in Buddhism, that is our belief. His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, I want to ask you something." Garzandhuo was unwilling to talk about Buddhism with a person who did not believe in Buddhism.
In Galzandra's view, talking about Buddhism with people who don't believe in Buddhism is tantamount to slandering the holy place in our hearts in disguise.
"Tell me everything you know."
"When my father died, did he say anything? Or leave anything behind? This is very important to us." Galzandra asked solemnly.
"No, he didn't have a chance to speak." Li Hong said calmly, looking at Garzandra with bright eyes.
Both of them stared at each other, trying to find a flaw in each other's eyes, but Li Hong's eyes, which were the same as Bai Qi's, finally made Garzandra take the lead to divert his attention.
He had to admire Li Hong, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, for his innate domineering aura and the murderous aura he had honed over the past few years, which made ordinary people dare not look at him at all.
I could only look at him for a few breaths, and I was already frightened and terrified.
"In that case, thank you so much, Your Highness, the Crown Prince." Garzhanzhuo stood up and said to Li Hong solemnly, practicing the Tubo etiquette for treating distinguished guests.
Old God Li Hong was sitting there, enjoying the noble Tubo etiquette as a matter of course.
After Garzandra left, Li Hong's eyes became sharper.
"Where is Wei Tuqi? Tell him that the people who lead him secretly like Mansong Mangzan and must not allow Mansong Mangzan to escape his sight. Otherwise, I will chop off his head." Li Hong looked at the door. Garzandra's figure has long since disappeared.
It would have been better for Garzandra, who was so abnormal, not to ask about his father's death. Moreover, he had been stationed in Luozhu City for several months, and it was as if he just remembered. Common sense.
