The rain had not stopped yet, and the envoys of the Tubo Mo family rushed to Chang'an in the rain. I think their itinerary was relatively urgent.

The envoy who served as the envoy to Chang'an this time was Mo Dongzebu, the youngest son of the old leader of the Mo family. The leader sent his son to Chang'an to be a proton. In fact, the Chang'an court had almost no tradition of killing the protons of the foreign vassals, so there is no need to worry too much about life safety. Besides, the Tubo of the Mo family is an ally of the Jin Dynasty.

Whether Chang'an has a surname of Tang or Jin, it seems that there is no difference between people from other tribes. The capital is still here and looks the same.

Lao Mo was nominally Zanpu, a gold book granted by the court; of course, Lushecheng did not recognize it, they had another Zanpu, a child of a few years old, and the power was in the hands of Dalunlang.

Luoshecheng has always been the capital of Tubo, so Xiao Zanpu, who occupies Luoshecheng in people's senses, represents the Tubo country; but if the Han Dynasty court is used as the central order in accordance with the consistent order in the East Asian world, the imperial court of the Han Dynasty is the central order, and the imperial seal is legal. According to this rule, the Tubo regime in Luoshecheng is illegal, but the Mo family regime compressed in the north of Tubo is legal.

The leader of the Mo family was named the King of Tubo, and the Modong Zebu, who is now in Chang'an, is the Prince of Tubo... Of course, it is nominal.

After the death of Lao Zanpu of the Tubo Kingdom, domestic conflicts intensified, and some tribes of the Mo family united to split in the northeast of Tubo.

This is a welcome check and balance situation for Chang'an, but unfortunately the strength of their two sides is asymmetric, and the city of Luoshe has an absolute advantage in both population and territory.

The Mo family made enemies with him and was likely to end up being destroyed by clans. This is not the first time in Tubo's history. There were several civil strife in Tubo. In the end, the strong lord united the strength of the nobles to destroy the rebel clan and integrate it into a whole: Of course, the Mo family was unwilling to face such an end, and it was not something the Jin Dynasty was willing to see.

The purpose of Modong Zebu's trip was to survive and benefit of their own clan: he wanted to move to the Jin Dynasty and live with the Central Plains dynasty.

However, they could also recognize the Jin Dynasty's abacus. The young man, the Muzibu of the Modong Zebu, reminded him: Tubo has a large population. Although the Han army won a big battle in Helong during the Tang Dynasty, causing a great loss of Tubo's strength, they still did not relax their vigilance.The strategy of the Jin Dynasty was to use our ability to hold back the city of Luoshe and balance Tubo, so as not to threaten the border of the Jin Dynasty.So they will not easily agree to us to move in.

The Modong Ze preached: In the past, Qinling Lun was killed by Luoshe City, and the remaining tribes of the Gar clan surrendered to Chang'an and allowed to move to the Tang Dynasty.

Mu Shu hurriedly said: That's because the Gar clan was not a rival to Tubo Zamp at all in the past, so we must show weakness when we go to Chang'an this time, so that the court can understand that the Mo clan may be exterminated at any time.If they were unfortunately convinced that the Mo family could persist, they would never agree to move inward.

After the delegation entered the city, most Tubo people were surprised to appreciate the grandeur and beauty of Chang'an City. Only the little prince and his advisers did not care about watching it and discussed countermeasures along the way.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites welcomed the mission and treated him with courtesy.

They settled their residence and provided food and expenses. Obviously, the Han people were good to them. The people were polite and caring, and they gave them enough respect.

Another official came to socialize politely and asked them step by step if Zamp was in good health.

Then he told the envoy that the empress dowager three days later met at Linde Hall and told them to enter the palace on time.

The Tubo people felt a little strange because it was not the emperor summoned him but the empress dowager.

Modong Zebu's men found out some news and came back to tell him that the Queen Mother was the former Princess Taiping (on the surface, the officials were not called Princess Taiping but the Queen Mother, otherwise what kind of dynasty the princess was?)

The Tubo people suddenly realized that it was Princess Taiping Ah, who had been famous before, and they understood after saying this.

There is another news that the current emperor has not been to court for more than a month and rarely appears. The ministers all meet Princess Taiping, which makes the Tubo envoys confused about the power structure of the Jin Dynasty.

Mo Dong Zebu looked optimistic, unlike a few deputy envoys who looked frowning and deep indignant. When he heard this, he asked with interest: I heard that there were women in the Han court before as emperors. Will this Princess Taiping also want to be the queen?

Someone next to him took the conversation and said: The Empress is Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty. There was a period of time when the Tang Dynasty changed its name to Zhou.Princess Taiping’s surname is Li. If she proclaims herself emperor, will the name of the Jin Dynasty be changed to Tang?

A deputy envoy said: Based on my understanding of the Central Plains, Princess Taiping may not dare to be the queen again. The Han gentry will object, which may also cause civil strife.If we can survive until that day, no matter whether Chang'an agrees to move inward or not, there will definitely be local forces willing to borrow troops. Our Mo family was originally an ally of the Jin Dynasty, so we could naturally enter the Central Plains.

Several people talked for a while and then continued to discuss ways.They stayed in the guild hall for three days, and did not go around anywhere else, so they were ready to go to see Princess Taiping.

I didn't talk much about the serious matters when I was summoned by Linde Hall. From Princess Taiping to officials of the Jin Dynasty, I spent most of my time performing a whole set of etiquette, and what I said was a high-sounding and irrelevant thing, and then there were banquets, singing and dancing.

The Tubo envoy mentioned the important matter, but was told that officials from the Ministry of Rites had a detailed discussion with them.

When the official talks about the matter, the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Jin Dynasty had already made up their minds to refuse to move inward, and they were determined to persuade the Mo family to take it, and the court would increase its assistance.

Modong announced that it would be wiped out by the army of Luoshecheng, and listed the miserable situation and losses of several defeats.

After waiting for a few more days, he responded in the name of Princess Taiping, and he would increase free assistance to the Mo family's weapons, armor, food, and clothing materials next spring; and to open up mutual markets in the Helong area, giving the Mo family's government 1 billion in quarters, allowing them to order the lack of materials from the Jin Dynasty.

In addition, after the war in the eastern front and Western Regions of the Jin Dynasty stabilized, they directly sent troops to Tubo to help the Mo family fight against Lusiecheng.

The imperial court means one sentence: I pay, you must withstand it.

Modong Zebu and others also understood that the people in power in the Jin Dynasty did not care about their lives or death. They believed that the Mo family would not surrender and would rather be eliminated than allow them to move inward.

Modong Zebu was not in vain, at least he had won so much funding.

But this was not the purpose of the Mo family. Modong Zebu's men believed that only by trying to contact the city of Logan and making Chang'an really worried that they would surrender would be possible to make progress.
