Chapter 407 Making Cards in the Void
The next day is Bingyin (ninth day of the third month).
After the Sutra banquet in Jiying Palace, Zhao Xu first performed Taizu Changquan with his companions under the guidance of brother Zhong Jianzhong for about a quarter of an hour to stretch his muscles and bones.
Today, Taizu Changquan has been slowly turned into a palace after-school activity similar to radio gymnastics by Zhao Xu.
After a set of Taizu's long fists, Zhao Xu's body became warm and he started to sweat a little.
When he returned to Jiying Hall, Feng Jing hurriedly led someone to massage and wipe him.
At the same time, a memorial was quietly handed into the hands of Zhao Xu.
"Everyone, this is the memorial that Xihelu just sent to the palace." Feng Jing introduced in a low voice.
Zhao Xu nodded, opened the memorial and took a look, and immediately laughed.
This memorial is a joint memorial from Zhao Xi, the envoy of Economic Strategy and Appeasement of Xihe Road, and Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji of the Economic and Border Defense Finance Department.
These three people only reported one thing. The envoys they sent successfully arrived at Qingtang City (also known as Zongge City, the capital of Qingtang Tubo), met Ali Gu, and confirmed that Qingtang Tubo had been killed by Ali Gu.
Actual control.
According to the report: The third class, who was promoted to high office, saw Ali's skeleton sitting in the Dongzhan Hall. The chief leader gave the ghost seal to Bu, Sijie and others were on the left and right, and the people who had been working on Dongzhan all kissed Ali's skeleton. He also asked the leader
, the Fan tribe and others said: When Dong Fei was about to die, he called the leaders of the tribes to Qingtang City, and agreed to use Ali's bones as his successor. Now the leaders, Fan tribe, etc. all obey.
"I'm afraid I'll get a lot of benefits from eating Ali's bones." Zhao Xu put down the memorial and sneered: "You actually said something about the leader, and all the tribes and others obeyed!"
"Wenba Xi, is Wen Xi heartbroken?"
"Even if Qingyi forms a ghost chapter, Ali Gu can really control and command?"
In Zhao Xu's previous life, it was thanks to the help of the Song Dynasty that Ali Gu truly secured his position as the Tubo Zanpu of the Qing Tang Dynasty.
You Shixiong and Zhong Yi captured Qing Yijie Guizhang, allowing Ali Gu to eliminate the last powerful faction that could threaten Qingtang City.
This may sound a little confusing.
Aren't Ali Gu and Qing Yi Jie Gui Zhang allies?
Why did the Song Dynasty help Ali Gu secure his position by destroying Qing Yi's Gui Zhang?
All I can say is, this is politics.
Sometimes allies are more threatening than enemies in politics.
Because allies can be understood as internal opposition.
Everyone lowered their heads after hearing Zhao Xu's words.
Su Zhe, the storyteller at Jiying Palace, said softly: "If Your Majesty doubts this, you can have Gao Sheng escorted back to Bianjing for interrogation."
It's just a small loan from the third class. Even if there is no evidence, he can be directly thrown into jail and interrogated carefully.
Zhao Xu chuckled, waved his hand and said: "Talents are rare, and those who understand the Tibetan language are even rarer. For small mistakes, just let Xihelu scold them and order them to make meritorious deeds."
To engage in diplomacy, it is necessary to have a group of talents who are familiar with foreign writing, language and customs.
It is very rare for Gao Sheng to chat and laugh with the Tubo people in Qingtang City.
You must know that there are too few people who can still understand Tubo writing, language, and customs.
So being greedy is nothing.
Knock, knock, keep your butt straight next time.
Su Zhe wisely shut his mouth.
Fan Chunren bowed at this time: "Your Majesty, do you think the situation in Tibet has not been stabilized yet?"
Zhao Xu shook his head: "Ali Gu should at least have actual control over Qingtang City."
"The work has already been done, so we should recognize it and imitate Dong Fe's story, and confer him the title of Prince of Wuwei County and Military Envoy of Xiping Army."
The predecessor of Tubo in the Qing Tang Dynasty was the Alliance of Six Tubo Tribes.
This alliance is purely an alliance forced by the Dangxiang people and the Uighurs to stick together for warmth.
Xisiluo kneaded this alliance into a country.
Passed down to this day, the power of tradition has made Qingtang City a royal city recognized by the six Tibetan tribes.
Whoever actually controls the royal city is the de facto Zanpu.
In this case, a mature ruler should admit the facts.
After hearing this, Fan Chunren was sincerely convinced and worshiped: "Your Majesty, you are a saint!"
Other banquet officials also paid homage: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming."
What they feared most was that His Majesty was young and energetic, and they even felt that the Qing Tang and Tubo were in internal chaos, and that the Song Dynasty could take advantage of it.
Zhao Xu smiled and said: "It's just, where did Qi Ding, the governor of Yizhou, go?" He squinted his eyes: "I have to let Ali Gu give me an explanation, even if it is a false explanation!"
Qiding was the Tubo successor of the Qing Tang Dynasty recognized by Dong Fei and the Song Dynasty.
But at the same time, this man was a thorn in the side of the Song Dynasty.
Why?
Because this person married the daughter of the Empress Dowager Daliang of Xixia, his political stance has always been inclined to align with Dangxiang.
To be honest, if Ali's backbone died and Qi Ding died, Zhao Xu should have awarded him a one-ton medal.
But the problem is, you killed Qiding, the governor of Yizhou who was canonized by the Song Dynasty and the legal heir recognized by both countries, but you didn't even say hello to me.
Some are not giving face!
If I don't even ask a question, how can I be an uncle of the Han family in the future?
So, you have to ask a question, and you have to make up a reason to fool me.
All the ministers lowered their heads as they listened, not daring to answer the question.
After all, in this kind of diplomatic matter, a careless operation may lead to unpredictable consequences.
Zhao Xu put down the memorial: "That's it!"
"Feng Jing." He looked at Feng Jing beside him: "I will tell the Cisheng of the Two Palaces what I mean, saying that I think Ali Gu's Wuwei Commandery Prince and Xiping Army Jiedushi can grant it, but Ali
Gu should tell me where the governor of Yizhou, who was conferred by the late emperor, went?"
"Otherwise, how can I explain to the late emperor? How can I be worthy of the Song Dynasty's former King Wuwei, the military governor of Xiping Army Dong Fei, the former Taifu, Taibao, the military governor of Baoshun Army, and the former Prince of Wuwei Commandery?"
Zhao Xu has always been very good at grasping the key points.
After studying abroad in modern times, he even learned a unique magical skill - making cards in the void.
This is the secret technique of imperialism and the best way to blackmail people.
Therefore, the focus of this matter is not where Ali Gu nor Qiding went?
The key point lies in this question raised by Zhao Xu.
This will encourage the anti-Ali Gu faction among the six Tubo tribes in the Qing and Tang Dynasties.
At the same time, Ali Gu could also be forced to make concessions to the Song Dynasty for this purpose.
Of course, the premise is that the Song Dynasty must win the next war militarily.
Otherwise, it is not making cards out of thin air, but destroying the Great Wall and forcing your enemies to unite.
Fortunately, Zhao Xu knew that the Song Dynasty would win greatly in the next war.
Defeat Dang Xiang's invaders, capture Qingyi's ghost seal, and gain actual control over the entire Minzhou and Hezhou areas.
Let Ali Gu recognize the current situation from now on and obey him obediently.
And all of this was achieved in the early years of his previous life, Yuanyou, when the government was in chaos, the party was in constant dispute, and he even cut himself in the head, leaving a large number of powerful veterans idle.
Now, if the party events of the second year of Yuanyou are repeated and the Tibetan allied forces invade, the Song Dynasty will only win more.
