Zangbu's face darkened.
This Gaden Gampo is indeed the biggest stumbling block for him to ascend to the position of Zanpu!
However, the high priest was calm and composed at the moment, as if he had long expected that Gaden Gampo would jump out and object.
"Since there are differences, let's vote."
He raised his hand and said,
"Those who agree to establish a new Zanpu first and then deal with subsequent matters, please stand up."
"Those who agree to first identify the murderer and avenge Zamp before establishing a new Zamp, please sit back and relax."
"please!"
After the words fell, he naturally stood still.
Zangbu also stood up immediately.
"My eldest brother had an accident, and I'm very heartbroken! But now that the news has spread outside, our various departments in Tubo will definitely be unstable!"
He looked sad, but said firmly,
"So, the priority is to have a new Zamp."
"Whether it is to stabilize the country or to find the real murderer, we all need someone to lead us!"
As soon as these words came out, many princes present also nodded.
Even the new nobles think Zangbu’s words make sense——
No country can live without a king for a day!
You can be outside, but you can't die! If you die, you must establish a new king! Otherwise, the group will be leaderless and will surely fall apart!
"I agree, first establish the new Zamp."
"I also agree, Prince Zangbo is right."
"..."
Several princes stood up one after another, and a few looked at Gaden Gampo.
Gaden Gampo naturally refused to get up, but looking at the situation in front of him, he could only look gloomy and say nothing.
"More than half of the princes have stood up. Then, I announce that a new Zamp will be elected now."
The high priest smiled slightly and glanced at Gaden Gampo.
Songtsan is already dead. No matter how strong your Gardan is, what trouble can you make?
"Zampu of all generations are descendants of gods."
The high priest said solemnly,
"All, only direct bloodline is qualified to serve as my Zanpu of Tubo."
"Then, the choice is obvious - Prince Zangpo is Songtsen Gampo's biological brother and a direct descendant of the God of Heaven!"
"His age, experience and abilities are also suitable."
"I think Prince Zangbo should become my new Zanpu of Tubo!"
boom!
Before the high priest finished speaking, Gadan Gampo slammed the table!
"What do you mean it's obvious? It's not like Zamp doesn't have any direct descendants!"
He scolded,
"If you want to establish a new Zanpu, you must also establish a Gongri Gongzan! Only in this way can it be justified!"
When the high priest heard this, he showed a hint of joking.
"Oh? What do you mean... instead of establishing an adult direct prince, you will establish a five-year-old child as Zanpu?"
He said happily,
"Prince Gadan, do you think this Tubo Zampu is child's play?!"
"Or are you afraid that Tubo will not be in chaos and want the tribes below to cause chaos?"
"Or...you want to take the young master hostage and take Zanpu's real power?!"
These three questions are all heart-breaking questions!
Gadan Gampo's expression kept changing, and he was extremely angry!
"You are talking nonsense! If I have such thoughts, I will let vultures peck out my eyes!"
He stood up and said angrily.
boom!
The high priest also put away his smile and slapped the table hard!
"Since there is no such intention, it is already obvious who to support!"
He ordered,
"The only choice is Prince Zangbu!"
"Only he can stabilize the overall situation in Tubo and avenge Songtsen Gampo!"
"Everyone here, what do you think?!"
In an instant, the four or five princes present all agreed:
"I support! Make Zangbo the new Zanpu!"
"I support it too! There is no other choice! And he is not necessarily worse than Songtsen Gampo! Songtsen Gampo seems wise, but in fact... hum!"
"That's right! I believe Zangbu can lead us well!"
A few echoes made Zangbu's situation great!
Even a few neutral princes began to waver at this moment. They looked at Gaden Gampo, wanting to say something but not daring to say it, so they could only remain silent.
The corners of Zangbu's mouth could not help but rise at this moment.
The high priest kicked him and told him to pay attention to his face at the moment.
"Uncle Gadan, actually I don't think I have the ability to be a good Zanpu. I am far behind my elder brother."
Zangbu straightened up his expression, looked at Gaden Gampo, and said sincerely,
"Right now, I only have one heart, which is to avenge my eldest brother! I don't want anything else!"
"When it comes to government affairs, I am far behind you... In fact, it is most appropriate for you to serve as this Zamp!"
"New Zamp, I also have the right to recommend - why not, I recommend you as the new Zamp!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed!
"How is that possible! Gadan is already a branch, and letting him be Zampu is a stain on the bloodline!"
"Yes! He is not qualified!"
"Prince Zangbo, don't look down on yourself! I think you are stronger than Songtsen Gampo!"
Several princes immediately expressed their opposition.
Tubo takes blood more seriously than the Central Plains!
Even in the Central Plains dynasty, no emperor died and his uncle Wang was chosen to succeed him (except Zhu Di, who took the throne).
Even if you have to choose, you usually choose someone of your own generation, or choose someone from the clan to adopt you.
As for Tubo, there has never been such a precedent.
The prince of the branch lineage, just like the daughter who gets married, is destined to wither away somewhere else!
In a word - don't get involved!
In fact, Zangbo said these words just to suppress Gaden Gampo's momentum! Let everyone join forces to oppose him!
While I opposed him being a Zamp, I also opposed his opinion!
In this way, he will no longer be a stumbling block on his way to Zanpu!
Sure enough, after hearing the strong opposition from everyone, Gadan Gampo's face became extremely ugly.
He has no intention of competing for position! It was Zangbu, the sinister boy, who deliberately put him on the fire!
"Pretentiousness is more sinister than a fox!"
Gadan Gampo stood up angrily, brushed his sleeves and said,
"You can continue to perform here! I will not have anything to do with you anymore!"
"snort!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, walking very quickly! It seems that there is a hint of slipping away!
His keen political sense alerted him - this palace is not safe now!
He wanted to rush back to his camp.
By the way, protect Gongri Gongzan!
Boom, boom, boom!
Gadan Gampo left after finishing his words, leaving everyone present slightly stunned.
"If he wants to leave, just leave!"
The high priest whispered,
"Now, let's continue to recommend the new Zamp!"
"I once again propose that Prince Zangpo be the new Zanpu!"
"Who is in favor and who is against?!"
I originally wanted to keep this old guy Ga Dan, but I didn’t expect him to run faster with oil on his soles!
No matter if he runs away, the biggest stumbling block is gone, and the position of Zanpu is already within his grasp!
"I agree!"
"I agree too!"
"Then... I, we agree, there should be a new Zamp."
"..."
After a round of voting, Zangbo successfully took the throne and became the thirty-fourth generation Zangpu of Tibet!
And his first order as Zanpu was to hold Tuyuhun accountable!
The second order is to hold Datang accountable!
…
Chang'an, Tai Chi Palace.
In the imperial study room.
Li Shimin closed the door, his face already unbearable!
"Listen! Your plan really succeeded! That boy Xue Rengui is really good!"
He said excitedly,
"He actually killed Songtsen Gampo without saying a word!"
"Tubo must be in chaos now! Murong Fuyun is probably scared to death!"
"I want to summon Xue Rengui, and I want to commend him personally! This boy... gave me such a surprise!"
There were only two people in the room, Li Shimin and Xu Fenglei.
Xu Fenglei also smiled at this moment.
"I've always said he was a general."
He responded,
"A thousand-mile horse is easy to find, but a bole is hard to find. Fortunately, I, a bole, managed to find him among the coolies."
"Your Majesty, don't rush to reward him. He will definitely not come back now, otherwise it will be a bad thing if someone discovers his whereabouts and finds clues."
"He should go around Xueyantuo, then go south to Youzhou, and return to Chang'an."
"I estimate it will take two months."
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.
"Prudent, you are indeed cautious enough!"
He put his hands on his hands and smiled,
"I just like this kind of general talent! In the future, you can discover more of them on the road!"
"The old guys are no longer good. New people have to take over! Among the younger generation, I originally thought Su Dingfang was the best."
"Now it seems that Xue Rengui has to be better!"
Xu Fenglei nodded.
That's natural.
It doesn’t matter how many resources I have spent!
"Let's not talk about him for now. Let's talk about what to do next."
Li Shimin tapped his fingers on the table, his eyes suddenly sharp,
"It has been eight years since Zhenguan, it's almost time to send out troops!"
"Then Prince Murong is in Chang'an now."
"I think..."
Xu Fenglei waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to say anything to me. Just follow your ideas. It's absolutely correct."
He responded,
"I fully support His Majesty in accomplishing all his wishes!"
Li Shimin suddenly smiled.
"Okay, okay! OK, OK..."
He waved and said,
"Go ahead and take control of King Murong immediately!"
"I will hold a court meeting tomorrow!"
…
Chang'an Posthouse.
King Murong Zun was sitting in the room, looking at the brocade box in front of him with a somewhat tangled expression.
He has the upper hand now!
But Li Shimin didn't seem to have any intention of summoning him. He seemed to want to wait for Songtsen Gampo to arrive together before summoning him together.
In this case...the first-mover advantage will be gone!
He had to find a way to meet Emperor Tang first!
"You must first establish a good relationship with the people in Honglu Temple before you have a chance to meet the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
King Murong Zun stood up and took out some gold and silver jewelry from the brocade box, and said with determination,
“Time is of the essence, let’s start with them first!”
"That Tang Jian looks so fat, he must be greedy for money!"
He was about to take the treasure and go out to bribe, but suddenly, his door was slammed open!
Boom, boom, boom!
In an instant, countless black-armored soldiers poured into the house and surrounded him!
Murong Zunwang: "!!!"
"This! What are you..."
He widened his eyes and said in horror,
"What's the meaning!"
The Tang people want to imprison him?
What he was most worried about... was really going to happen!
"King Murong Zun!"
The leader Li Junxian said solemnly,
"excuse me!"
"Come on! Tie him up and take him to the prison of the Criminal Department!"
Swish!
Two guards came forward and captured King Murong Zun!
"Ah! Why do you arrest me! Why do you arrest me!"
King Murong Zun shouted,
"I am Prince Tuyuhun! Even if the two countries are fighting, they will not kill the envoys! Your Tang Dynasty actually wants to murder Prince Tuyuhun!"
"Does Tian Khan want to gain notoriety and notoriety!"
He knew that the Tang Dynasty was not afraid of war with Tuyuhun, but Li Shimin cherished his reputation very much!
So... these words should be useful!
However, Li Junxian sneered.
"Conspiracy? You are overthinking it. My Majesty is upright and will never do anything to murder others."
He said,
"Only a major event happened recently, and you have some suspicions. Please go to the Criminal Department to investigate."
"take away!"
Having said that, the guards had firmly restrained King Murong Zun. No matter how much he struggled, it was to no avail and he could only be dragged away from the post house.
…
Political Hall.
This is an emergency meeting.
At the meeting, everyone’s expressions were a little solemn——
They all know that Songtsen Gampo is dead!
Although he died in Tuyuhun, he also died on the way to Datang to seek marriage!
Datang also has a certain responsibility!
"Why!"
Li Shimin sighed lightly,
"Songtsen Gampo was fine, so why did he die?"
"Why doesn't someone as important as him bring more guards around him? It is said that he only brought two hundred guards. What's the use of this?"
"The funny thing is...the two hundred guards were unharmed, but he died! Do you think it's funny?"
"That's absolutely ridiculous!"
Xu Fenglei sat aside and looked at Li Shimin sighing, feeling a little unable to hold back.
Snapped!
Li Shimin kicked him and told him to be more serious!
It's a meeting!
This matter was carried out in secret, and no one knew about it... So of course now I need to rely on acting skills!
"Yeah... indeed."
Xu Fenglei managed to control his expression and said seriously,
"Songtsen Gampo is such a child's play! If it were me, I would have to bring at least a thousand people, maybe even tens of thousands!"
"This is a royal trip after all!"
"Your Majesty, I also recommend that you take more people with you when you go out in the future, and you must not appear alone in a place with a wide view."
"We must remember the lessons of Songtsen Gampo!"
Li Shimin nodded with deep understanding.
"The master is right."
Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice,
"After what happened with Songtsen Gampo, Your Majesty must be more careful when traveling in the future."
"Alas... It was a happy event, but it turned into a funeral! What is this called?"
"It's true... Now the new Zanpu from Tubo has come to hold the credential accountable. What a waste of time for him to hold accountable! What does it have to do with us, the Tang Dynasty!"
"If a person dies in Tuyuhun, he has to go to Murong Fuyun to settle the score!"
All the ministers nodded.
"Exactly! Why should he hold Datang accountable? What qualifications does he have?!"
"It's as if we Tang people killed Songtsen Gampo. It's really the most ridiculous thing in the world!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, we have to go back! We can't let the Tubo barbarians hold us accountable for nothing!"
