Chapter 108: Salute to the King

"Wait!"

Li Chengqian said again, let Songtsan Gampo and so on.

Songtsen Gampo is puzzled, and he has to wait?

Li Chengqian said: "Let's calculate the competition just now, you can't take out the thousand horses now, it doesn't matter, but you still have to do it." As for anything else, that's a different story! ”

Songtsen Gampo's gift hasn't been done yet, so how can it be done?

You must know that Li Chengqian represents the face of the entire Tang Dynasty, and if Songtsan Gampo is allowed to salute, it means that Tubo is inferior.

Some people want to ask, isn't Songtsen Gampo the same as Li Shimin's salute?

Not to mention, that's different.

First, Li Shimin is the king of a country, and Songtsen Gampo is at most a prince, and his status is not as good as Li Shimin, so it is normal to salute.

Second, Li Shimin, as an elder, it would be more normal for Songtsen to bow to Gampo.

Therefore, it is of great significance here that Songtsen Gampo saluted Li Chengqian.

There is a meaning that the Tubo people bow their heads to the Tang Dynasty, after all, they are considered peers.

This kind of bowing is tantamount to the feeling of Zampu bowing his head to Li Shimin.

Therefore, when Li Chengqian said this, everyone was inexplicably happy.

Li Shimin also said: "This is my Datang rule, and I hope you can abide by it, otherwise I will go crazy!" ”

This is the threat of force from Chi Guoguo.

But this threat is unjustified, and it is not to force them to salute, after all, they have lost.

Songtsen Gampo looked at Lu Dongzan, and Lu Dongzan had to nod.

At this time, if they don't bow their heads, they are afraid that they can't do without Datang, how can they not bow their heads under the eaves of people?

Songtsen Gampo had no choice but to bow his head and salute Li Chengqian:

"Songtsen Gampo greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Is it possible? ”

"Not sincere enough! One more time! ”

Li Chengqian deliberately teased and made Songtsan Gampo very unhappy, but if he was unhappy, what could he do?

Seeing that the generals around him showed their weapons, Xiao Killing's aura was highlighted.

It's chilling.

"Songtsen Gampo meets His Royal Highness the Prince!"

This time, Songtsen Gampo became respectful, even if he was the prince of Tubo, I am afraid that he had never been like this, right?

Who made him bet?

"No courtesy, no courtesy!"

Li Chengqian laughed, not serious at all, which made Songtsen Gampo angry and annoyed, but what could he do? Who let him lose.

The civil and military officials also laughed very happily.

"Okay? Can we compare it now? ”

Songtsen Gampo said.

Obviously, he couldn't bear it.

Li Chengqian is not afraid of him, but he also has to look at what he compares.

If he can't compare, he can refuse, anyway, his goal has been achieved.

And no one dared to say how he was.

"Than what?"

Li Chengqian asked with a smile.

Songtsen Gampai said: "I have a warrior in Tibet, and I heard that there is a sport in the Tang Dynasty that tests the strength the most, that is, the tug-of-war, can the prince dare to compete with the tug-of-war?" ”

Tug-of-war originated in the Spring and Autumn period. Mozi. Lu Wen mentions: During the Spring and Autumn Period, the naval armies of Chu and Vietnam were at war, and Lu Ban, a craftsman of Lu State, designed a weapon called "Hook Rejection" to block and hook the enemy ship, block it when the enemy ship advances, and hook it when the enemy ship retreats. The navy of Chu defeated the enemy army due to the use of the weapon of "hook rejection".

Because the Chu State achieved a military victory with the weapon of "hook rejection", after the army used the hook to refuse, it was demonstrated and passed to the people to be called "the play of the hook", and in the Tang Dynasty, the "play of the hook" has been named "tug-of-war".

Hercules? Tug of war? Songtsen Gampo is afraid that he is crazy, right? Isn't that overtly bullying?

How old is Li Chengqian, how can he compete with him.

At this time, Cheng Yanjin couldn't bear it.

He came out and said: "Try the tug-of-war, I Lao Cheng can replace His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Not only him, but also Wei Chi Jingde also ran out and said, "I can too!" ”

These two are the most powerful beings in terms of physique.

Compared to strength, they are not afraid at all. Except for Xue Rengui who can compare with them, I am afraid that there is no one in the entire imperial court.

As for Qin Qiong, who was too expressive in his early years, he fell into a lot of injuries, and he couldn't do it at this time, otherwise he would have stood up and performed.

Someone else said: Isn't this a bully? Hercules is so big, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a little bigger? How to compare?

But no, this Tubo man is really cunning!

This kind of person should be taught a lesson.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince don't promise him, don't be fooled!

……

Everyone is leaning on Li Chengqian, and they are surprisingly united. After all, Li Chengqian is his own person, and the Tubo people can only be regarded as outsiders.

Li Shimin said at this time: "I thought it was better to forget it, after all, it was too dangerous." It's not good to hurt anyone! ”

In fact, he was afraid of hurting his own people, how could Hercules be injured?

"Yes, the concubine body is also against this kind of meaningless competition! Not technical at all! ”

Li Chengqian was about to agree, but was interrupted by his parents.

"If the crown prince fights, I, Tubo, am willing to give another thousand horses as a bet! You won, 2,000 war horses, you lost, you lost 1,000 war horses to me, can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dare? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

The quality of war horses in the world is better than that of the Turks and Tibetans.

Another thousand horses, winning, is two thousand, the current Tang army is short of horses, if two thousand horses can enter, it must be good. There will definitely be a huge increase in military strength.

Moreover, the quality of these war horses is so high, if they reproduce offspring, the quality must not be bad.

This time, the chips are exciting.

But Li Chengqian is still too weak, and Songtsen Gampo is obviously digging a pit!

Otherwise, someone would have agreed in his place.

"Songtsen Gampo, otherwise, how does my old Cheng compare with you?"

Cheng Yanjin can't stand it, Songtsan Gampo can make people bully the prince, why can't he do the opposite?

Songtsen Gampo pretended to be stunned and said, "Let's see what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wishes first?" I guess he wouldn't dare, because he couldn't! ”

Songtsen Gampo's ridicule was very unpleasant.

Li Chengqian suddenly said: "Okay! This king agrees to your request, if this king wins, this king limits you to send the war horse to Chang'an within 20 days, can you dare? ”

Since they want to do this, then Li Chengqian will not be polite and directly let the war horse be in place.

After all, it will take about ten days to get from Tubo to Chang'an.

This time, I have to get the war horse.

Songtsen Gampo thought for a while, and then a mocking look appeared on his face.

"Good! I admire your courage very much, and I hope that your strength is as good as your courage! ”

Songtsen Gampo said in a strange way.

"Good! That's it! ”

Without waiting for people to say anything, without waiting for Empress Changsun to stop it, Li Chengqian actually agreed.

This is interesting, judging from the expressions of the Tibetan people.

Li Chengqian is going to lose.

Everyone is hanging, this is over, and the thousand war horses won back are going to be gone.
