Chapter 243: Visiting the Door, Asking for Respects
"I'm tired of reporting, Foreign Minister Lu Dongzan, ask to see Zhao Guogong!"
Outside the mansion of Sun Wuji, the prince of Zhao State, Lu Dongzan came with a gift.
The steward reported back and led him into the house, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
For example, Du Ruhui, Duke of Laiguo, and Xuanling of Duke Liang Guofang, he has already been there, and the other party is not allowed to see him at all, and he is not even allowed to enter the door.
The subordinates drove them away with a look of disgust, completely treating them as if they were plague gods.
"Thank you!"
The steward of the Guogong Mansion, Lu Dongzan didn't dare to despise it in the slightest, and after thanking him, he stuffed a piece of silver into the other party's hand.
The steward's face did not change, and he was in his pocket.
"Your envoy here, please, my lord invites you to go to the side hall."
"Labor leads the way."
Entering the hall, Lu Dongzan hurriedly saluted, "The foreign minister meets Zhao Guogong!" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said, "No need to be polite, the envoy please take a seat." ”
"Xie Zhao Guogong!"
After taking his seat, Lu Dongzan hurriedly asked someone to carry over the box prepared in advance, which contained countless gold and silver treasures, as long as Zhao Guogong could help him, this loss was still worth it!
"I don't know what the envoy means by coming this time?"
The eldest grandson Wuji was not blinded by the heavy ceremony, and compared to the heavy box, he was more curious about what the Tibetan envoy would say when he came to find him.
Lu Dongzan smiled: "Give a thin gift, talk about your heart." The foreign ministers have long heard that Zhao Guogong is His Majesty's right-hand man, with both ability and political integrity, both civil and military. When I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, and people couldn't help but be in awe. ”
Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear!
Not to mention, the eldest grandson Wuji is really amused.
"The envoy laughed, and if there is something to say, if the old man can help, just ask."
However, the old fox is always an old fox, and he didn't mention the word "certainly" at all, he just watched the dishes and eat, and didn't let go until the critical moment.
Everyone is a smart person, and Lu Dongzan doesn't plan to hide it, he knows very well that he has to talk about his thoughts, and he is far worse than these princes of the Tang Dynasty.
"Zhao Guogong didn't know that this time I came to Beijing because I wanted to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty and repair the friends of the two countries at the same time. Now it is ...... by King Qin Alas, I really don't know how to explain to Zampu after I go back. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji's pupils shrank, "Then I don't know, what can the old man help you?" ”
Lu Dongzan hurriedly got up and said respectfully: "Please also ask Zhao Guogong to be in the court and say a few beautiful words for me." Tubo only has the intention of befriending the Tang Dynasty, and is by no means a wolf with ambition! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji stroked his beard and said with a smile: "That's all? ”
"Of course!"
Lu Dongzan said categorically, it seems that he just wants to marry a princess.
As for the rest, he didn't dare to mention it indiscriminately, in case people didn't agree, he would cause himself a little trouble.
"In this case, it is easy to say, but you can know that it is difficult for one person to accomplish things. If the old man wants to set a hundred officials and go to ask for your relatives, it seems that the courtesy is not enough, right? ”
Lu Dongzan breathed a sigh of relief, and said that it was easy to say, as for the cost?
Don't worry, when the princess gets married, she will always be able to get it back from the dowry.
"Zhao Guogong said with a smile, please rest assured of this, I have communicated with many courtiers, and when I go to the court in a few days, as long as Zhao Guo says two words publicly, Tubo is grateful!"
The eldest grandson Wuji is the master who doesn't see the rabbit and doesn't scatter the eagle, so how can it be fooled like this.
After receiving gifts, you have to do things, but you can't be a fool by yourself.
"The envoy laughed, if you don't make it clear, the old man is a little afraid to accept it at the moment, after all, the old man is old, and now he just wants to live a stable life for a few days, and when he turns around, the old man will only have the title of a duke left."
Lu Dongzan's heart is not good, isn't this a duck flying to the mouth?
It's hard to get a leader, and I want to take advantage of his name to win over a few more!
"Zhao Guogong is too worried, Lu Dongzan is by no means a reckless person, how could he choose to push Lord Guogong to the front?"
The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head with a smile, "The old man is not worried about being called by you as a sword, the old man is worried about His Royal Highness the King of Qin." ”
As soon as this stubble was mentioned, Lu Dongzan and the others' faces turned black in an instant, and that person was simply their nemesis.
"Zhao Guogong, Lu Dongzan has something unclear."
"Excuse me."
"Before coming, Lu Dongzan clearly found out that King Qin was not favored by His Majesty today, why were the officials of the Tang Dynasty so afraid of him? Even Zhao Guogong, you don't want to have a bad relationship with him? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji had a slight disgust in his eyes, "I really don't know who told you this news, do you know how much King Qin has done for my Tang Dynasty?" The hundred officials are not afraid, but guilty. ”
"Oh? Guilty? I only heard that King Qin had outstanding military achievements, and I really don't know what he did for the Tang Dynasty, but because of the matter of King Qin's side concubine? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji sneered, "Of course you don't know, most of the courtiers don't know, and those who really know will never touch King Qin's moldy head." As long as King Qin does not rebel for a day, no one in the entire Chang'an will dare to harm him! ”
"Isn't it wrong to act so domineering?"
"Wrong? The king of Qin is killed, what's wrong? is that he is disrespectful to the old man today, and the old man has to bear it. The merit is far greater than the fault, who dares to say that King Qin is wrong? ”
Yes, Qin Wanggong's skill is too high, and Li Shimin, who is high, sometimes needs to think twice, how should he be treated?
Offering it up? Is there any other way to do it?
Both civil and military, on the horse to take command, off the horse to govern the country, such a good talent, who dares to destroy?
It's just that now the merit is avoidable, and the hundred officials have a scale in their hearts, although it is very contrary to their hearts, but they all have respect for the King of Qin. They like to do something that damages the prestige of King Qin, but if anyone wants King Qin's life, I'm afraid no one will dare to agree!
"Lu Dongzan doesn't understand, but Tubo has no second heart for the Tang Dynasty, and he also asks Zhao Guogong to learn from it!"
Seeing that the other party knew each other, the eldest grandson Wuji put away the thin anger on his face before, and said in a low voice: "You just need to know that King Qin and my Tang Dynasty are extremely important, even far more important than Tubo. His Royal Highness the King of Qin has 7,000 iron horses to ride on the royal court, and he can also lead 10,000 people into the territory of Tubo! ”
"Yes!"
Lu Dongzan hurriedly straightened his body, not daring to speak nonsense anymore, a wrong word from King Qin actually angered Zhao Guogong.
"Take your things and go, the old man can't entertain you here!"
"Zhao Guogong, don't ......"
There is only one chance, but unfortunately the other party is not willing to take it.
Driven out of the palace, the eldest grandson Wuji went around to the back door and rode a carriage to the palace.
After facing the saint, the first sentence was, "Your Majesty, the Tibetan envoy has a different heart!" ”
Li Shimin sneered: "What's the matter, I went to your house to give gifts today?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded yes, and replied: "There must be a plan for heavy gifts, and the old minister does not dare to accept it." What's more, the other party obviously intends to provoke the old ministers and wants to go against King Qin! ”
Li Shimin felt a little bored, waved his hand and said, "After watching it for a few more days, I also want to know what they want to do!" Next time they give them another gift, you can accept it. ”
"Yes, Lao Chen understands."
"Well, how's Chong'er doing?"
Seeing that Li Shimin cared about his eldest son, the tension in the eldest grandson Wuji's heart decreased slightly, and he said with a smile: "I follow Mr. all day long, and I have memorized all the four books and five classics, and I can't compare with the two children of Huaiyu and Zhewei." ”
If you want to say that the whole Chang'an Guogong, the most envious ones are none other than Qin Qiong and Chai Shao.
There is a successor, and there is a marquis at a young age, which is a manifestation of His Majesty's grace!
In the future, even if the position of the prince is not there, with the marquis, it will be enough to protect the heirs for a hundred years.
