Chapter 244: Giving Heavy Gifts Again, Disputes in the Court

After a brief chat with Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji was ordered to return home.

However, three days later, Lu Dongzan visited again.

This time his attitude was more sincere, even he never thought that this matter would be so difficult, and the group of officials who had contacted him before actually sent all the gifts back, which was obviously planning to give up the Tibetan side.

With the mentality of giving it a try, he came to the outside of Zhao Guogong's mansion again and asked to meet Zhao Guogong.

I really don't know if the other party will also block himself out of the door.

Unexpectedly, this time Zhao Guogong actually received him.

"The foreign minister is confused, he lost his words before, and he asked Zhao Guogong to atone for his sins!"

The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand, "Excuse me, what's the matter with looking for the old man today?" ”

Since His Majesty said that he should accept the gift, then he had to find an excuse to talk from the mouth of this Tibetan envoy. You have to figure out what this guy wants to do.

"Lu Dongzan, please Zhao Guogong for the sake of the small situation of the Tubo country, and help Tubo once!"

"Or is it a matter of harmony?"

Lu Dongzan nodded hurriedly, "On the order of Zampu, go to Tang to ask for relatives, if it fails, the minister is only afraid that he will be punished by Zampu when he goes back, and he is ashamed of Zampu's high hopes!" ”

"I knew this was the case, why bother with the existence that the Tang Dynasty Qin Wang Feier and others could envy, can you understand?"

Where do you dare to say bad things about King Qin, Lu Dongzan nodded again and again.

"Zhao Guogong, look at this ......"

Lu Dongzan pointed to the three boxes of gifts behind him, which were all heavy gifts, more than several times more than before.

The eldest grandson Wuji raised his eyebrows slightly, "Let's stay, but the old man also has one condition!" ”

"Zhao Guogong, please speak, the foreign minister will do it!"

"It's okay to marry a princess, but Tubo can't make any requests!"

"This ...... We just do it! ”

Lu Dongzan still doesn't believe it, can a princess still have no dowry?

Seeing the other party's hesitant expression, the eldest grandson Wuji had confirmed that the other party was obviously coming for the princess's dowry.

Thinking about what King Qin said at the beginning, I'm afraid that this statement is true!

"What? Do you still care about my princess Tang's dowry? ”

Lu Dongzan smiled bitterly: "I don't dare, I just ask Datang to take pity on me because the land in Tubo is barren and sparsely populated, so I can give some charity." ”

The words are very low, and they do not say that they will start a war if they don't marry.

After all, the current Datang is in the limelight, what if one is not careful and really goes to war?

The tragic situation of the western Turks on the side is still reminding them that Datang is already a giant dragon and cannot be underestimated.

"Oh? Alms? It depends on what you really want! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji squinted slightly, knowing that the other party was smart, and when it came to this point, he should naturally show his true face, right?

Lu Dongzan hesitated slightly, and King Qin's words in the Tang Dynasty made the entire Chang'an begin to reject them.

If you say the wrong thing here, you really don't know how to redeem it.

Zhao Guogong didn't know that Tubo had admired the Central Plains culture for a long time, and he admired the Tang Dynasty even more. However, there are few literate officials in Tibet, and if I can give fewer books, I will definitely make Zampu very happy. At that time, it will definitely be sent to the Zhao Guogong Mansion! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji pretended to think for a while, "It's not difficult, a few books are not a big deal." ”

Lu Dongzan saw that there was a play, and hurriedly said: "Can you still give Tubo some utensils, Tubo is poor, and he doesn't know how to farm, if he can still bring some old farmers over, then it would be great." ”

"Utensils can be given, but people can't!"

Lu Dongzan didn't think much about it, it was already good to have these.

As for the gold and silver, it seems that every generation of Central Plains princesses has never lost less when they get married.

However, he was still a little unwilling in his heart.

To tell the truth, King Qin can be regarded as a wake-up call for him, if he can get the thunder artifact that the Tang Dynasty has shown itself in the Turkic War, then they will definitely be a great achievement in entering the Tang Dynasty this time!

Farewell to Sun Wuji, the eldest prince of Zhao State, Lu Dongzan didn't dare to stay longer, with his lead, everything was easy to say.

Sure enough, after seeing the eldest grandson Wuji leading the acceptance of the gift, many officials were moved.

In three days, seventeen officials and lords were contacted, and there was even a prince.

Li Chongchen, the king of Jibei County, may be a little unfamiliar with this name, but he also has a code name, Chen!

During the conversation, His Royal Highness the county king was very yearning for Tubo, and there was a lot of respect in his words, which made Lu Dongzan very surprised.

After observing for a while, I found that the other party didn't seem to be cheating, but was too greedy for money.

Lu Dongzan thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a bold idea.

"Lord Wang, the foreign minister has something to ask for!"

Li Chongchen waved his hand again and again, "Why should Brother Dongzan be so polite, just call me Brother Chen, you and I are so involved, if something happens, the king of this county will naturally help you!" ”

Lu Dongzan said with a smile: "I have long heard that Datang now has a paper mill with a daily output of 10,000 sheets, I don't know if I can take a look." Lord, don't you know, I have been learning Tang Chinese since I was a child, and I can't put it down even more like books. However, Tubo is a barren land, far inferior to the outstanding people of the Tang Dynasty. No one can make paper, and no one can print books. If I can take a look at the paper workshop and printing workshop of Datang, I am afraid that I can die without regrets! ”

Li Chongchen frowned slightly, "This matter is a little troublesome, let me think of some solutions!" ”

"Lord Xie, if it can be done, Dongzan will definitely send someone to send a heavy gift!"

"You're polite, Brother Dongzan, why do you have to see each other!"

Another box of heavy gifts was delivered, and Li Chongchen accepted it all with a smile, completely giving Lu Dongzan a feeling of incomparable greed for money.

It can even be said that there is no hair, because the tea used to entertain others in the house is really unpalatable!

After waiting for a few more days, Li Chongchen sent someone to bring news, "Tonight, I will send someone to take you to sneak into the paper mill to have a look!" ”

Lu Dongzan was so happy in his heart, this county king is quite capable, after all, he is a member of the royal family, and he will do this after walking a few doorways.

But when he entered the paper mill, Lu Dongzan regretted it very much, because he didn't know what the raw pulp of papermaking was.

I only know that the pulp is taken and dried, and then it is dried into paper.

"Lord Wang, what about the printing shop?"

After sending another box of gold, silver and jewelry, Lu Dongzan mentioned the printing shop again.

Li Chongchen sighed and said, "My imperial brother is really stingy, he is stuck in the printing workshop, and he really can't take you in." ”

"Which royal brother are you?"

"King Qin!"

Lu Dongzan choked and didn't dare to talk about it again, his previous experience told him that as long as he talked about King Qin, what kind of chaos would happen if he didn't keep it.

"You say, it's okay if it's a gunpowder shop, but the printing shop, this king really can't interfere!"

"Lord Wang, I really worked hard for you...... What did you just say? Gunpowder shop? ”

Li Chongchen nodded, and then smiled, Lu Dongzan was very familiar with it, and sent someone to fetch a box of treasures and send it.

"Yes, it's the Gunpowder Workshop!"

Lu Dongzan didn't dare to believe it, "Lord Wang, I heard that shouldn't be the most heavily guarded place in the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Li Chongchen said with a smile: "After the imperial brother of the King of Qin was removed from military power, the jurisdiction of this gunpowder workshop also fell into the Ministry of Industry. This king happens to have a sister-in-law, and now he is the steward of the gunpowder workshop. ”

Lu Dongzan was overjoyed, he didn't expect that there would be such a good thing to be sent to the door, no matter what, he had to find a way to get in, bring some gunpowder out, and at the same time see what the thunder artifact looked like!

When they return to Tibet, they can learn to imitate, right?

"Lord, the minister wants to go to ......"

"This king is a little stuck."

"But if you can go in, how much treasure do you want, and how much do you want, and how much does the minister give!"

Li Chongchen showed a successful expression, and he didn't know whether he was happy that the other party was in the set, or he was happy that he could make a lot of money again!
