Chapter 4877 The Root of Disaster
It was snowing heavily.
In the Resa Temple, soldiers covered in leather armor stood three steps to one post and five steps to one sentry. They stood with guns in hand and broke the peace and tranquility in the temple with a murderous aura. This was the most loyal and fierce guard under Zanpu. His name was "Light Army".
The birds flew over the wall into the temple and were disturbed by the murderous aura rising from the sky. In panic, they fluttered their wings and turned back, not daring to enter.
The red-robed monks who often walked around the temple were all gone. They were all trapped in their respective residences and under strict guard. The entire temple was impenetrable to needles and water, and was tightly guarded.
Outside the temple, the elite troops of the Yalong tribe loyal to Zanpu left the military camp and marched into the city. They occupied all key positions and implemented martial law throughout the city. Anyone who entered the city without Zanpu's military order would be killed without mercy!
……
Princess Chizun, Concubine Mengsa, and Concubine Xiangxiong all knelt in front of the bed and looked worriedly at Songtsen Gampo, who was lying on the couch with his eyes closed and unconscious. Concubine Mengsa was even more tearful and sad, and her delicate body was shaking as she almost fainted. It was only thanks to the support of Concubine Xiangxiong beside him that he didn't collapse to the ground.
Sambuza and Chisangyangdun stood bowed to one side, with sad faces and sad expressions.
The body of Gongri Gongzan was still on the way, but the messenger had already rushed back to Luoxe City to deliver the bad news. After seeing the letter, Zanpu screamed and spit out a mouthful of blood, fell to the sky and fell unconscious.
The whole sky of Tubo is about to collapse...
The most serious cause of death was the death of Gongri Gongzan. How could one of the more than ten thousand elite guards of the Yalong tribe be killed with one arrow?
Why did Serugondun, which was defending the mountain pass, collapse at the first touch?
Why didn't Seru Gondun, who retreated from the mountain pass, resist vigorously to buy Gongri Gongzan time to retreat, but instead led the enemy troops to Gongri Gongzan's position?
What was Seru Gondun doing when Gonri Gonzan was shot?
With the strength of Seru Gongdun and his troops, even if they could not withstand the offensive of Lunqinling, could they really not protect Gongri Gongzan's life?
The Lord humiliated his ministers and died, and now the Tibetan prince Gongri Gongzan is dead. Why is Seru Gongdun still alive?
……
Many things seem to be just a fleeting sentence in the battle report, but once questioned and scrutinized, they are really full of doubts...
But now that Zampu is vomiting blood and fainting, all doubts can only be hidden in his heart. Stabilizing the overall situation is the top priority.
The medical officer made a thorough diagnosis and treatment, wiped his sweat, and whispered: "Zan Meng, please don't worry. Zan Pu was just angry and overly sad, which led to poor heart pulse and fainting. Wei Chen has already applied acupuncture to comb the meridians to smooth the flow of Qi." Promote blood circulation, you can wake up later, and you will be fine after resting for a while.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Their own interests are all tied to Songtsen Gampo. If something unexpected happens to Songtsen Gampo, the situation will collapse. It is unimaginable.
Sambuza and Trisang Yangton looked at each other. The latter led the medical officer out of the house and stood on the porch watching the snow falling in the temple. Many ministers were standing in the courtyard and in the university with expressions of concern and anxiety. They looked at the medical officer. He asked in a low voice: "How is Zampu's health? To be honest, if you lie even half a word, the entire tribe will be buried with you."
The weather was cold, but the medical officer was sweating profusely, and he bowed and said: "There is no concealment in what I said before. Zamp's condition is not serious. It's just that... Zamp suffered a lot of injuries in the past, and his body has been damaged over the years. Hidden diseases are everywhere, as long as they don’t occur, once they occur, they will be like a flash flood and cannot be stopped.”
This medical officer was a Tibetan who went to the Sui Dynasty to do business in the early years. He was exiled in the Hexi area due to encountering robbers on the road. By chance, he was taken in by a medicine shop. Later, he was actually awarded medical skills by the medicine shop's doctor and was accepted as a disciple. His medical skills were quite exquisite.
Although Tubo has passed down various "methods" for treating diseases since ancient times, most of them are mysterious and unpredictable "witchcraft". Tubo nobles believe more in Han medical skills...
Chisang Yang suddenly felt pity in his heart.
In his early years, Zanpu led his army to conquer the east and west, pacify the plateau, and witnessed dozens of battles. He also suffered many wounds that damaged his roots. In the past, there was nothing wrong with relying on his youth and strength, but now that he has passed his prime and his body functions have declined, Coupled with this intense anger, all kinds of hidden dangers completely exploded.
Maybe...
He warned in a deep voice: "Zamp's condition cannot be spread to anyone, do you understand?"
The medical officer nodded repeatedly and glanced at the ministers in the hospital: "Don't worry, I know what to say."
Serving as a medical officer for Tubo Zampu was a great honor, but it also meant huge risks. He knew this very well. If anyone asked about Zampu's condition, he would naturally know how to reply...
Chisang Yangdun nodded: "Go."
"Yes."
The ministers looked at the medical officer and wanted to step forward to ask about Zampu's condition, but they did not dare. The news of Gongri Gongzan's death had already spread. Zampu's condition was of great importance at this time. Searching and asking might lead to "peeping into the inside." "The suspicion...
Sambuza watched the medical officer walk away, glanced at the ministers standing in the corridor, and then turned back to the house.
Facing Sambuza's searching eyes, Chisangyang Dun shook his head at first. Seeing Sambuza's sudden change of color, he felt something was wrong and nodded quickly.
Sambuza: "..."
In case Sambuza misunderstood, Chisang Yangdun quickly came to Sambuza and stood beside him, whispering: "Zenu's condition is quite serious, but his life is not in danger."
Sambuza breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes intertwined, and then they separated, each with their own thoughts.
As long as Zanpu is alive, he can suppress the various tribes of Tubo, but the death of Gongri Gongzan left a vacancy for the next successor. You can't make the infant prince a prince, right? Although the young prince is the rightful heir, he is too young. At such a young age, he is too far away from ascending the throne and is prone to changes.
It is conceivable that the various tribes in Tubo will have ulterior motives and are ready to act in the future. As long as Zanpu shows the slightest sign of weakness, the entire Tubo will be in turmoil.
All Tubo tribes are faced with two choices: either seek the position of Zanpu and follow the king to the plateau, or assist the young prince in the future, one person is inferior to ten thousand people...
Sambuza was silent for a while, took two steps forward and came behind Princess Chizun, and whispered: "The medical officer said that Zampu is fine for the time being. He will wake up as soon as the medicine takes effect. Zangmeng is here alone." This is enough, why not let the two princesses go back and take good care of the young prince. The weather has been cold recently, and the young prince has a distinguished status, so it will be bad if he catches the cold."
Princess Chizun, who was mourning and crying, woke up with a start. She looked at Concubine Mengsa and Concubine Xiangxiong and said coldly: "You two don't have to stay here. Go back and take good care of the prince. No mistakes will be made."
Concubine Mengsa and Concubine Xiangxiong also understood and quickly accepted the order, got up and hurried out.
Although Gongri Gongzan was born to Concubine Mengsa, because Songtsan Gampo only had this son, all the concubines, including Princess Chizun, did not secretly criticize her. At this time, Gongri Gongzan was killed in battle and Songtsen Gampo Zangtsen Gampo fainted, and the concubines were united in knowing that once Songtsan Gampo also encountered unexpected events, the crown prince would be everyone's hope.
If anything unexpected happens to the young prince at this time...
Princess Chizun expressed gratitude to Sambuza: "Women panic when encountering major events. Fortunately, Aiqing reminded me."
Niboluo is a small country with only a few people. Buddhism is prosperous in the country. The so-called princess is just a little more wealthy than ordinary people. She is far from having a respected status or a golden branch. She has never had a good education and will not encounter any major problems. He had no idea and was flustered, otherwise he wouldn't even need to be reminded by others to protect the young prince in critical moments.
But now that Sambuza has expressed his clear support, his mind has calmed down...
Sambuza bowed and said: "It is my duty to keep my mind calm and take charge of the overall situation."
The words "take charge of the overall situation" made Princess Chizun even more moved, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Zanpu was unconscious, the prince died in battle, and the whole sky of Tubo was about to collapse. Without Zanpu's suppression, who would know the various situations in Tubo? How will the ministry react?
Now Sambuza has made it clear that even if something unexpected happens, he will support her to "preside over the overall situation", which means that he is on the side of the young prince, and the inheritance of Tubo will not be messed up...
Chisang Yangton glanced at Sambuza and took a step forward: "The most important thing now is to stabilize people's hearts. When Zampu wakes up, everything will disappear."
Princess Chizun was completely relieved and said with tears: "A loyal minister is known in times of crisis. You can stick to your heart and uphold your loyalty at critical moments. It is worth it that Zanpu treats you like a humerus."
With the support of Sambuza and Chisang Yangdun, as well as the support of the "four major clans" outside, even if something unexpected happens to Zampu, there will be no big problems when the young prince ascends the throne.
"Zamp wakes up!"
The two waiters kneeling in front of the bed suddenly let out a low exclamation. Princess Chizun hurriedly knelt down to the couch. Seeing Songtsen Gampo open his eyes, she held one of Zanpu's palms and cried with joy: "Zanpu finally woke up, but we must not leave our wives and children, otherwise we will be I don’t know how to survive..."
Sambuza and Chisangyang, who hurriedly came to the couch, looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say when they heard this.
If something happened to Zanpu and he couldn't survive without his only son and widowed mother, wouldn't it mean that these important ministers were busy in the power struggle and even coveted Zanpu's position, and did not care at all about the relationship between monarch and minister with Zanpu?
The two of them originally wanted to step forward to check on Zamp's condition, but at this time they could only kneel down, pause, and apologize again and again.
Songtsen Gampo's eyes were a little out of focus, and it took him a while to recover. He rolled his eyes and regained consciousness. He exhaled a long breath, then held Princess Chizun's hand tightly and said, "Help me up."
Princess Chizun quickly stood up, supported Songtsen Gampo's upper body and leaned on the soft pillow.
Seeing the tearful face of Princess Chizun and the fear and panic in her eyes, Songtsen Gampo forced out a smile, patted the back of her hand, and comforted her: "Don't worry, I can't die yet. Now the prince Now that you are gone, I should take care of you and raise Mangsong Mangzan to adulthood. "Mangsong Mangzan is the son of Gongri Gongzan, who is still in his infancy...
