With the help of the Buddhists, the Tibetan envoys finally got a hard-won opportunity and waited for the news of Li Shimin's summons.

"Songtsen Gampo, the king of Tibet, greets the Heavenly Khan." Lu Dongzan stepped forward and offered a big gift.

The Mo family on the side stared at Lu Dongzan with hatred and said: "Your Majesty, the ambition of the Tibetan wolf, the ambush of the firearms supervisor outside the Yumen Pass is Lu Dongzan's son on the Qinling, and Lu Dongzan is the mastermind behind the scenes, and the minister implores His Majesty to kill Lu Dongzan and avenge the 180 firearms supervisors who died in the battle." ”

"One hundred and eighty!" Lu Dongzan couldn't help but be hit hard in his heart, Tubo lost a full 5,000 cavalry, and the firearms supervisor only lost 180, he can imagine how tragic the Tubo cavalry was in the war at that time, and the powerlessness and fear of his son Non Qinling being constantly tracked by Mo Jiazi as an injured prey.

"Lu Dongzan, how do you explain this." Li Shimin's face changed, and he said coldly.

Feeling Li Shimin's strong pressure, Lu Dongzan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he knew that if he didn't deal well at this moment, his end would be extremely miserable.

"Bang!"

Lu Dongzan kowtowed vigorously, and the loud voice suddenly spread throughout the entire Taiji Palace, making Li Shimin also have a spirit.

Suddenly, Lu Dongzan's face was bloody, but he didn't care at all and said: "The rebel son is a rebel who steals the talisman without permission, causing a big disaster, and the foreign minister has nothing to say, if he is not buried in the desert, the foreign minister will definitely personally cut off his head and sacrifice it to the Tang Dynasty." ”

The ministers of the Tang Dynasty couldn't help but be in an uproar, but they didn't expect Lu Dongzan to admit it without hesitation.

Merton said coldly: "Lu Dongzan, don't think that your son is dead, this matter is over, the so-called son and father repay the debt, Tubo ambushed the firearms prison for no reason, and plotted Tang gunpowder, the crime is unforgivable." ”

Many ministers nodded one after another, after the battle of Gaochang, the importance of gunpowder has been infinitely raised, and Tubo has already offended the Mo family's scales.

"The son pays the debt to the father, and the foreign minister has nothing to say, if he can calm the anger of the Mohou, please also ask the Mohou to kill the head of the foreign minister." Lu Dongzan is very single, and he is directly waiting to be killed.

Merton was furious and said: "What you said about this, since you are looking for death yourself, then I will fulfill you." ”

Go ahead! Merton stepped forward and snatched the weapon of the guard with the knife, and was about to kill Lu Dongzan on the spot.

"Mo Hou can't! The two armies are fighting and not killing, if you kill Lu Dongzan at this moment, you will have the demeanor of making my heavenly kingdom. Suddenly, the old Linghu Dedi hurriedly dissuaded.

"You have to spare people and spare people, Mohou has already killed 5,000 Tubo cavalry, and it is also considered revenge, and killing the Tubo envoys at this moment will probably make his country feel cold."

A group of civil officials also stepped forward to dissuade them, and a group of guards stepped forward to pull them, which allowed Lu Dongzan to escape.

"Stop! Above the main hall, what kind of system, Merton, I think you are pampered and arrogant, and bold. Li Shimin said angrily.

Lu Dongzan hurriedly fell to the ground and said: "Tian Khan is angry, it was the foreign minister who angered Mohou, it is all the fault of the foreign minister, and please Your Majesty don't blame Mohou." ”

Merton suddenly laughed angrily, he didn't expect Lu Dongzan to have the skills of a green tea in later generations, and comprehend this peerless magic skill thousands of years in advance.

Li Shimin looked at Lu Dongzan unexpectedly like a straight man, if he hadn't made up his mind, I am afraid that his good impression of Lu Dongzan would have increased greatly, and he immediately cooperated: "You are also a clever person, but Tubo offended my Tang Dynasty for no reason, just if you apologize and admit your mistakes, I'm afraid no one can protect you." ”

Lu Dongzan said respectfully: "Songtsan Gampo knew that the rebel son had offended the Tang Dynasty, so he sent a foreign minister to the Tang Dynasty, and it was decided by the Khan to fight or kill, and Songtsan Gampo also offered 5,000 catties of gold and countless treasures to make amends to the Tang Dynasty." ”

Lu Dongzan waved his hand, and suddenly a group of Tibetan envoys presented 5,000 catties of gold, countless treasures, and in an instant, the entire Taiji Hall was full of jewels, even the ministers of the Tang Dynasty, who were accustomed to wealth, had to marvel at the generosity of Songtsan Gampo.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said, "Moton, you are in charge of receiving the Tibetan mission, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Merton snorted coldly, "What is this money? From the perspective of Weichen, Tubo dared to offend the Tang Dynasty, and he must not be punished, and he asked His Majesty to give an order, and the ministers led the army to break through Tubo. ”

The deputy envoy of Tubo snorted coldly: "Mohou is too arrogant, I still have hundreds of thousands of warriors in Tubo, and I have the protection of the plateau, the Tang army will be powerless immediately when it goes to the plateau, and it is too arrogant to attack Tubo!" ”

This was the strategy set by the Tibetan envoys, Lu Dongzan tried his best to subdue, while the deputy envoys of the Tibetan envoys had a tough attitude, showing their strength, and making the Tang Dynasty jealous.

Merton said proudly: "The Tang army will indeed be weak when it goes to the plateau, but it still has the strength to ignite the gunpowder, and in the Gobi Desert, the firearms supervisor is one thousand against five thousand, and the Tubo cavalry will be killed without a piece of armor. ”

The deputy envoy of Tubo suddenly blushed, the gunpowder of the Tang army was indeed extremely fearful of Tubo, and it was the only weapon that could threaten Tubo.

"Even if Tubo is defeated, it will make the Tang army pay enough price." The deputy envoy of Tibet said toughly.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Lu Dongzan immediately scolded the deputy envoy of Tubo to shut up, and said respectfully to Li Shimin: "Tian Khan Mingjian, the battle between the two armies will definitely make the lives of the two countries miserable, God has the virtue of a good life, and please ask Tian Khan to calm his anger." ”

Seeing a trace of hesitation on Li Shimin's face, Lu Dongzan couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, but the voice of Mo Jiazi on the side once again made his heart sink.

"Even if you don't send troops to Tibet, you must punish Tibet, and under your majesty's order, all the surrounding countries must sever relations with Tibet and prohibit all exchanges, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the Khan." Merton said coldly.

Lu Dongzan's heart sank suddenly, the Tubo Plateau is insufficient, and many things need to be traded with other countries, especially the most important trade for the Tang Dynasty, once the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding countries prohibit all trades, then Tubo will immediately fall into trouble and soon decline.

The ministers suddenly moved, the Tubo Plateau occupies a favorable location, if the Tang Dynasty sends troops, it is really not cost-effective, if the soldiers can punish Tubo without blood, it will naturally be better.

Sure enough, Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this, this is indeed a way to win without a fight, and with the current prestige of Datang, it can be said to be handy to use.

"Not enough!"

With Li Shimin's faint words, Lu Dongzan's heart couldn't help sinking.

Lu Dongzan's heart darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said: "As long as the Heavenly Khan forgives Tubo, Tubo will always be a vassal of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and will never betray, and will pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year in the future." ”

The ministers couldn't help but smile knowingly, and immediately knew that Tubo had finally relented this time.

Li Shimin once again set his eyes on Merton, and Lu Dongzan's heart suddenly felt another pang.

"Other than that! In the future, Tubo Zampu will succeed to the throne, and the consent of the Tang Dynasty will be required. Mo Dun added, and suddenly the ministers sighed in their hearts, Mo Jiazi's move is really ruthless, so that in the future, Tubo Zampu will not be able to get rid of the influence of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Lu Dongzan nodded without hesitation and agreed: "As long as the Heavenly Khan forgives Tubo, Tubo will naturally surrender to the Tang Dynasty forever." ”

For Lu Dongzan, at this moment, it is necessary to let Tubo tide over this difficulty, and as for whether to comply with it, it depends on whether Tubo agrees or not.

However, what Lu Dongzan didn't expect was that Datang also did not look at the so-called vassal relationship as multifaceted, and both sides had their own ghosts.
