Seeing his good friend crying, Lang Rongzan smiled, "What are you crying for? I've never seen you cry in my life. Back then, when the two of us were having the hardest time, I didn't see you cry. Why are you crying now? You're a man with a son, yet you're crying. You're making me laugh! "
Shang Nan took a deep breath and wiped his tears, "I will definitely fulfill your wish."
"Good, good!"
Lang Rongzan nodded with a smile on his face, "You're a man of your words. I believe in you. Alright, let's not talk about the illness anymore. It's all the same old story. There's no need to talk about it anymore. "
"What's coming will eventually come."
"It's just death. There's nothing to be concerned about. Let's talk business. What's the purpose of Du Qi sending a diplomatic mission to Tibet? As you said, the sudden arrival of Du Qi's diplomatic mission is extremely disadvantageous to us. "
"Right now, everything in Tibet is under our control. But with Du Qi's men entering, it's very likely that Du Qi's men will interfere and the situation will become uncontrollable. "
"We must be cautious," said Lang Rongzan.
Shang Nan said, "Zampu is right. The most dangerous problem right now is the appearance of Du Qi's diplomatic mission. It's very likely that it will disrupt the situation in Tibet. However, we still don't know the purpose of Du Qi's diplomatic mission. But considering that Kun Mi was captured and Zampo was killed, I'm afraid that Du Qi is here for this matter. "
Shang Nan continued, "According to the information we've gathered, Du Qi has always been someone who doesn't suffer losses. We've dealt with Du Qi, so I think there are two possibilities for Du Qi to send a diplomatic mission this time. "
Lang Rongzan heard Shang Nan's analysis, but he wasn't in a hurry to ask. Instead, he immediately arranged for someone to call his son, Songzan Gampo. The current Songzan Gampo was only 12 or 13 years old. He looked quite valiant with a height of nearly 165 centimeters.
To be able to have such a height at his age was already considered not short.
There was no immaturity on his face because he had participated in politics at an early age. Moreover, this time, Songzan Gambo knew about Lang Songzan's poisoning and Lang Songzan's plan, so that Songzan Gambo could stabilize his power.
Lang Ri Songzan waved his hand to let Songzan Gambu sit down and ordered, "Great Minister, you continue!"
Shang Nan nodded and continued, "This time, I think there are two possibilities for Du Qi to send a diplomatic mission. The first possibility is that they're probing us to find out about our situation. "
"Du Qi is a very aggressive person. He's not a kind person. After being tricked by us, he would definitely want revenge, so he set up a trap to find out the situation. "
"The second possibility is that Du Qi knows about the internal conflict in Tibet, so he arranged for someone to take advantage of the situation and extort us. After all, at this time, we can't fight outside, and we can't divide our forces to attack Du Qi. "
"On the other hand, once Du Qi attacks us, it will have a fatal impact on Zangpu's current plan. It's very likely that it will cause the entire plan to fail. After all, everything is slowly being arranged. If Tibet is attacked, Zangpu's forces will have to be diverted to deal with Du Qi's army, and he will have no way to deal with these old nobles. "
Shang Nan made a detailed analysis.
Lang Ri Songzan nodded and said, "Great Minister's words are reasonable."
Songzan Gambu was not clear about the situation, so he asked. When he learned that Jin Babu was captured and that Du Qi's envoy had come south, he frowned.
The situation was not good!
Songzan Gambu quickly thought. After thinking for a while, he said, "Father, the key now is that we can't start a war with Du Qi, so what we need to do now is to stabilize Du Qi."
"We don't have any other choice, so we can only compromise. Once we start a war now, we will be attacked from both sides. As for Du Qi's conditions, we will naturally use both hard and soft tactics, and we can even stall for time. In any case, until we take down these old nobles, we can ignore Du Qi's people. "
Songzan Gambu gave his own suggestion.
Lang Ri Songzan nodded with a look of approval on his face.
The strategy of stalling was not bad.
If they could successfully stall for time, when the internal problems of Tibet were solved, they could unite against the outside world.
Shang Nan also praised Songzan Gambu's answer, because Songzan Gambu's reaction was extremely fast. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, then I have a question."
Songzan Gambu said, "Please speak, Great Minister."
Shang Nan said, "Du Qi's envoy is not a fool, he will definitely know our strategy of stalling. Once he disagrees, he will even threaten to start a war. Under this premise, Du Qi's people have put forward harsh conditions, how does Your Highness plan to deal with this problem? "
Songzan Gambu frowned.
This was extremely difficult to grasp.
Because once they disagreed and Du Qi attacked Tibet, it would have a great impact on Tibet.
It was the most difficult to deal with.
Songzan Gambu said, "Great Minister, my only solution is to try to reduce our losses, then agree to Du Qi's conditions. Under the current circumstances, we don't have the conditions to refuse, we can only agree. "
Shang Nan said, "What happens after you agree?"
Songzan Gambu said seriously, "What Great Minister means is that we first agree to Du Qi's conditions, then use the strategy of stalling to delay the implementation of the compensation plan, so as not to carry it out in the end."
"No!"
Shang Nan shook his head and said, "Du Qi will not give you this opportunity. If you want to stall, Du Qi's envoy will not agree. So under this premise, we can only complete the agreement quickly. "
Songzan Gambu said, "Since we have to carry it out, what other arrangements are there?"
Shang Nan said in a deep voice, "Of course there are."
Songzan Gambu said, "Please enlighten me, Great Minister."
The scene of the two talking fell into Songzan Gambu's eyes. He had a bright smile on his face and nodded. Songzan Gambu was gratified that his son could be polite to the wise and humbly ask for advice.
Shang Nan said seriously, "Agreeing to Du Qi's conditions is equivalent to accepting Du Qi's extortion. After the news spreads, many people in Tibet will think that Zan Pu is weak and easy to bully, and that he does not consider the people of Tibet. "
"This matter may even be used by the old nobles. Especially Gongga, he is extremely shrewd and even cunning. They may use this matter to attack Zan Pu, and then wantonly smear his name. "
"Then, with this premise, they will be able to bewitch many people and use them for their own purposes."
Shang Nan said seriously, "When Zan Pu's illness breaks out and he can no longer hold on. These old nobles may use this matter to rebel and ensure their legitimacy. How should this problem be solved? "
Songzan Gambu nodded when he heard this, as if he suddenly realized something, and praised, "As expected of Great Minister, you have thought about the problem thoroughly. I indeed did not consider this problem. "
Shang Nan said seriously, "Now that His Highness knows about it, if I let you deal with it, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"
