Chapter 50 Close at hand(1/2)

The city of Tubo is in chaos.

Although the palace was only blown up and the rest of the place was not damaged at all, in Tubo, a semi-feudal and semi-slave system, the emperor represented everything.

The palace was burned by the sky and the emperor was dead. How could the whole city be in chaos?

The population of Tubo is four million, but there are 500,000 people in Tubo City, which does not include the people living around.

There are too many officials and minor officials in the court organs, military and other aspects.

They all survived under the power maintained by this emperor.

Let's put it this way, they are equivalent to many branches divided by a line. When the top line is broken, the rest will be in chaos.

The temporary vacuum of power will inevitably make many people anxious to seize power and consolidate their position.

From the second day after the emperor's death, small riots occurred in the city, but generally it was fine, because the city defenders could still control the situation under the mobilization of a group of officials.

Liu Mingqi is also bad enough.

Two days before the Tubo Palace was burned, he sent Du Wentao and seven or eight embroidered guards, as well as dozens of elite soldiers, into the Tubo City.

There are also spies from the Embroidered Uniform Guard in Tubo City.

In fact, the countries and ethnic groups of these grassland people don’t care much about counter-espionage.

There are many conflicts among them, and they are not united. How can you talk about unifying the foreign countries?

The five spies who were caught in the small tribe alliance last time were simply betrayed by the insider and were caught and rebelled.

Otherwise, their little life would be great.

Through these spies, Du Wentao learned about the power structure in Tubo City.

Prince Zhu Zanbu is naturally the largest sect under the emperor. His supporters include two inner ministers, Yan Ben, who is in charge of finance, and Chang Ben, who is in charge of law... and so on. The military is basically his person.

But the other one, Anta Mayang, is the uncle of the third prince Yilin Changbu.

In addition, the mistake in charge of foreign affairs is that the foreign minister Danzhu, and the father-in-law of the fifth prince.

The two of them also have some power.

The first time the palace was burned, the inner prime minister, that is, Prime Minister Anta Mayang, immediately announced his takeover of the Guards and Guards, began to block the entire Tubo City, prohibiting anyone from going out without orders, and launched a search.

The next day, many gangsters who caused trouble and robbery were suppressed, and they were basically in peace.

The prime ministers discussed with the officials for a long time and decided to invite Prince Zhuzanbu back to take charge of the overall situation.

But the next night, Yan Ben, who was in charge of finance, was suddenly attacked by a group of gangsters in the mansion of Radruzan, the Minister of Revenue.

That night, residents nearby heard a violent explosion in Radruzan's mansion, and then a fire ignited.

When the city defenders arrived, Ladeluzan's whole family died of danger, and the family was burned to a point where the fire was burned.

Ladruzan was the convincing minister of Prince Zhuzanbu, who was in charge of the food and finance of all Tubo. As soon as he died like this, the prince's control over money and food immediately ushered in a vacuum.

For a moment, a group of important officials under the crown prince turned their suspicion to the third prince and the fifth prince.

But this is not finished yet.

On the third night, the official who was a judge under the Third Prince, who was equivalent to the entire family of the Minister of Justice, was also brutally killed.

On the fourth night, two officials under the Five Prince were assassinated.

At the same time, another confidant general of the prince, the deputy commander of the city guards, was suddenly killed in his home by a mysterious weapon.

This is amazing.

A series of suspicion, tension, fear and violent emotions of the three forces suddenly erupted.

First, it was a small conflict, and then gradually developed into hundreds and thousands of people joined in.

Once the killing is red, these Tubo troops will ignore anything else.

They were like wild animals, burning, killing and looting everywhere, causing chaos in Tubo City.

It took the Imperial Guards two days to finally assess the unrest.

But at this time, more than 50,000 people had been killed or injured in Tubo City, and there were scenes of being burned, robbed and killed everywhere.

The entire Tubo City was in chaos.

Countless people tried their best to flee.

Although it is not allowed to leave the city on the surface, the city guards in Tubo City were involved in this turmoil, causing panic everywhere. They all want to escape themselves, so naturally it is impossible to guard the city gate well.

So, when Zhu Zanbu, who was running back all the way, received the fifth urgent letter, he said that there were only 300,000 people left in Tubo City.

"The third prince, the fifth prince, the big minister, the wrong argument... etc., all have their own little thoughts and ulterior motives, which are very worrying."

"There are many hatreds in the city, and there are many fighting every day. Officials' residences are often attacked, robbed, and killed, and everyone is in panic."

"If His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't return to Beijing quickly, there will be more trouble. My Tubo country's political power will be in turmoil and the land will collapse!"

This is the document written by Nei Xiaoxiang to him, and he just shouted, "Dad, come and take charge of the overall situation, save my life!"

Zhu Zanbu read the document and was more anxious than everyone else.

It’s nothing that my father died, he doesn’t have much sadness.

But these people are messing around with Tubo City, and they are using my property to waste it!

This is absolutely not allowed!

So he led ten thousand of his confidant cavalry and rushed on the road frantically.

He was in the northern border and searched Liu Mingqi's whereabouts everywhere.

But now compared to the throne, these are all trivial matters.

They ran 1,500 miles in five days without stinging horsepower, and at dusk, they arrived thirty miles outside the Tubo City.

Everyone was excited when they looked at the Tubo City in the distance.

At most one hour, you can reach Tubo City.

After so much hard work, I finally came to an end!

But at this time, Zhu Zanbu ordered the camp to start resting and spend the night near this hill tonight.

The general Nuobaoza next to him asked in surprise: "Prince, why don't we go back in one go? It's all at the doorstep!"

"The more this time, the less you can't panic." At least standing on the hill, Zhu Zanbu stared at the Tubo City in the distance, with a deeper look, "We just received information, but the facts and changes are all just listening to people. Going in rashly will only increase the risks for us!"

Lainangel smiled coldly: "What risks can be there? Your Highness, please lead 5,000 people into the city first, and sweep them all. Kill what should be killed, and what should be closed. If you control the situation, you can go!"

"Well, that's not necessary." Zhu Zanbu shook his head, "You came here a little bit threateningly. This time I came to inherit the throne, not to succeed the throne by killing, so I can't be cruel, otherwise what will the ministers and the people think of me? How can I rule them?"

"I'm reckless!" Reinangel lowered his head.

"Don't be so restrained." Zhu Zanbu patted his shoulder, "You are all the ministers of the humerus I trust. I will rely on you to stabilize the country in the future!"

These words include Reinangel and Nobauza, as well as the unreturned Greensong Depp and others.

Although Nuobaoza was a little greedy and no longer had the courage of the past, he had no problem with his loyalty. This is why he was not punished after he made a mistake and let Liu Mingqi and others go.

This time, Zhu Zanbu also brought back Lainangel, who was more decisive and good at raiding, so he allowed Lusong Depp, who had a more overall view, to continue to search for Liu Mingqi and the others on the border.

It's strange that since Liu Mingqi and the others were lucky enough to be rescued by the hot air balloon, they have never found any traces of them. Even if they expanded the range by 500 miles, they have not seen them.

Zhu Zanbu was a little suspicious, and Liu Mingqi and the others had secretly descended to the Tubo Plateau.

In this way, Tubo lost so much army but ended up in vain, which was really depressing!

Although we will definitely get some of the meat in the end, the largest piece of meat must be eaten by the Uighurs and the Western Qiang.

But at this time he didn't have time to think about so much, and the throne was more important.

...

In the forest in the distance.

Liu Mingqi, who was hiding on a tree more than ten meters tall, held a cliffhanger and watched Zhu Zanbu and others camp, as if she was not ready to leave.

He and Liu Mingjing and others next to him were quite surprised.

But the Tubo soldiers were not just pretending to behave, they were working seriously.

From the trees, not far away were three thousand elite cavalrymen who had already ridden their horses.

The original plan was that it would be more than ten miles away, so they should pass through this forest, which was only twenty miles away from Tubo City.

The more successful one is, the weaker one’s vigilance will be.

The more you reach the destination, the more you will become, the more relaxed you will become.

This is the location that Liu Mingqi chose.

Coupled with Zhu Zanbu's urgent mentality, it can be called a decisive victory.

But just at this moment, Zhu Zanbu actually stopped.

After going to ask the cavalry to dismount and rest, several people gathered together again.

"This bamboo pamper is not simple!" Xiong Dabao exclaimed, "At this time, he could actually hold back and not go to the city to compete for the throne as soon as possible, his mind is really amazing."
To be continued...
