Chapter 251 The situation in Tubo

Zhang Zong was very sure that Tubo Zan Pu Mang Song Mang Zan had died last year, and all signs also confirmed his guess, which made Li Hong look thoughtful. After all, this matter is of great importance and he was unable to make up his mind for a while.

"Your Highness, although the best time has been missed, I dare to conclude that Tubo will not announce the death of Mangsong Mangzan in one day means that there will be no peace in their country. Especially when Mangsong Mangzan's son is young, several important officials hold heavy troops. Mangsong Mangzan's wife and his clan will definitely not miss this opportunity. In this way, under the struggle of several major forces, Tubo will take at least two or three years to settle down. Therefore, if the court moves fast enough, it is still time to launch a fatal blow to Tubo!" Zhang Zong finally persuaded again.

Li Hong showed a thoughtful expression again when he heard this. After a while, he looked up and said, "How sure are you sure about Mang Song and Mangzan's death?"

"Although there is no evidence, I can at least be more than 80% sure from the various manifestations of the Tubo people!" Zhang Zong said affirmatively again. In fact, he was 10% sure. After all, the historical records would not go wrong, but he could not speak too much to avoid having a negative effect.

When Li Hong heard Zhang Zong's words, he seemed to be determined and nodded immediately, "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll go to the palace to discuss with my father. If it can be really confirmed that Mang Song and Mang Zan are dead, the situation in the Western Regions may reverse, and then my Tang Dynasty will also reduce a lot of pressure!"

Zhang Zong nodded when he heard this. Of course, such a big thing is not something that Prince Li Hong can make the decision. The most important thing is Li Zhi's attitude. However, in Zhang Zong's opinion, although Li Zhi's character is not very good, he is indeed a talented and wise emperor. As long as he discovers the opportunity, he will definitely not let it go.

Li Hong immediately asked someone to prepare the car and then quickly entered the palace. Zhang Zong knew that Li Hong's trip would take a long time to come back, no matter whether it was good or bad, so he did not wait in Furong Yuansha, but returned home, but along the way, he was also thinking about Tubo.

Mang Song Mang Zan must have died. According to historical records, the successor to the throne was his son Chidu Songzan. However, Chidu Songzan seemed to be only seven or eight years old at this time, and was far from reaching the age of being in charge of power, so his uncle and his clan mastered the Tubo government.

However, there is another powerful noble in Tubo, that is the famous Lu Dongzan family. When Lu Dongzan assisted Songtsen Gampo to rule Tubo, laying a solid foundation for Tubo's strength. Although Lu Dongzan had passed away many years ago, he left five sons, and each of them was very talented. Everyone held heavy troops. Compared to when Lu Dongzan was alive, the family's influence was even greater.

Now if Lu Dongzan's eldest son Zan is a great argument from Tubo, he is equivalent to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. However, his power is greater than that of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, because he not only holds administrative power, but also has military power.

In addition, Lu Dongzan's second son Lu Qinling was even more prominent. Although he did not inherit his father's Da Lun, he had great military talents. Xue Rengui was defeated by him in Dafeichuan. Now he led the Tubo army to be stationed in the Tuyuhun area and was the most powerful aristocrat in Tubo's military strength.

As for Lun Qinling's three younger brothers, they also held heavy troops, which also made Lun Qinling's family called Tubo's number one noble, and their influence had even surpassed the royal family. Now, the little Zanpu in Tubo is young and can only rely on his uncle's family to restrain Lun Qinling's family. However, as Zanpu grows older, the conflict between the two sides will definitely deepen.

In fact, in the original history, Lun Qinling had no intention of rebelling, but the strength of their family aroused Zanpu's vigilance. In the end, he repeatedly targeted Lun Qinling's family, and even Lun Qinling's younger brother was killed, which forced Lun Qinling to finally rebel. Unfortunately, he missed the best opportunity at that time and died in failure.

Thinking of the tragedy of the Lun Qinling family, Zhang Zong couldn't help but sigh that the strength of Tubo was inseparable from the Lun Qinling family. Unfortunately, he died of suspicion because of his great achievements. This was a bit similar to the Changsun family. However, the Changsun family was at least still retained. After Qinling's death, his younger brother and son also led Yu to join the Tang Dynasty and never returned to Tubo in his life.

Thinking about Tubo, Zhang Zong also stepped into his home. Wan'er was embroidering flowers in the yard. When he saw him coming in, he hurriedly stood up and brought tea to Zhang Zong. However, just as Zhang Zong had just taken a sip of tea, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside, which made him stunned. Li Hong had just entered the palace, so it was impossible for him to come back so early, right?

Zhang Zong went to open the door, but what surprised him was that there was a Tubo man standing outside the door. He looked young and had many braids on his head, and his skin was dark and red, but his facial features were very upright. He immediately smiled when he saw Zhang Zong, revealing his white teeth and said, "Is this the Lord Zhang Zong, Mr. Zhang?"

"Yes, you are..." Zhang Zong looked at the Tubo people and asked in surprise. He felt that the other party looked familiar, as if he had seen him before.

"In Xia Gar Mangbuzhi, you can also call me Gong Ren, and the name of Zhang Xueshu in Xia Jiumu, I will visit you today!" I saw the young Tubo man bowing to Zhang Zong again and said very politely.

When Zhang Zong heard the surname "Gar", he also showed a shocked expression because the surname of the Qinling family was "Gar".

"Who is Da Lu Dongzan?" Zhang Zong quickly woke up and asked again. Da Lu Dongzan means Lu Dongzan. In fact, Dongzan is a name, Da Lu or Lu are both official positions. In comparison, Da Lu is more accurate.

"That was my grandfather. Unexpectedly, Xueshi Zhang also heard of his grandfather's name." The Tubo people of this age smiled again. His words and deeds were extremely polite, and he did not even have the smell of ordinary Tubo people. He was obviously well educated.

"It turns out that he is the famous prime minister of Tubo. Please come in quickly!" Zhang Zong said enthusiastically immediately. It was a coincidence that he was thinking about the Lu Dongzan family just now, but soon Lu Dongzan's grandson came to visit, which surprised him quite.
