"What do you say, yesterday, the bastard official under my command didn't come to report that the prime minister had arrived in Chang'an, so that the official could not go out of the city in time to greet him, so the official needs to ask the prime minister for forgiveness."

Wang Jue said with a guilty face, he was really guilty, although the strategy of the hostile country was reasonable, but yesterday their behavior was not in line with the demeanor of a great country, and it was not in line with Confucian etiquette.

"Lord Wang's words made Lu Dongzan ashamed, he didn't dare to be, he was just escorting the princess to the Tang Dynasty, how could he be worthy of being greeted by the dignified Ministry of Etiquette in person?"

Lu Dongzan said that he invited the two to sit down, only saying that the princess never mentioned the matter of marriage.

"Yesterday's incident was all the fault of my Ministry of Rites officials, and it is a good thing for the two countries to get married, and I ask the minister not to spoil such a good thing because of a moment's anger."

Wang Jue said sincerely, he couldn't find something out yesterday, and he had to apologize today.

"Hahaha......"

Lu Dongzan suddenly laughed loudly, and suddenly looked at Wang Qi and said in righteous words: "Tubo has repeatedly asked for marriage for the harmony between the two countries, and you have repeatedly refused to cherish the imperial daughter, and I, Tubo, can only make a ridiculous move and propose to marry the four-year-old imperial daughter to Chang'an." But your Tang Dynasty deceived people too much, how respectful is the status of the eldest princess of Tubo? If Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't like it, our king will not hesitate to raise millions of troops to just ask the princess to smile.

The arrival of the princess represents the incompatibility of the two countries, how important is this? Even if you Datang don't have a hundred officials to greet you, you shouldn't send an unpopular official to humiliate Your Highness. If you are not sincere, the prime minister will escort the princess back to Tibet in the near future, and you will never bring shame on yourself in the future, mention anything to make peace, and say anything for the well-being of the people of the two countries. ”

Lu Dongzan's words made it difficult for Wang Qi and the eldest grandson Wuji, Lu Dongzan had a rational word from beginning to end, this was publicized, and even the people of the Tang Dynasty would not stand on their side.

More importantly, the meaning of Lu Dongzan's words is obvious, if you can't get along, then there will be no peace, and it is the officials of the Tang Dynasty who destroy the peace, it is the Tang Dynasty that humiliates Tubo, and Tubo has a reason to raise troops to invade the border, and every soldier on the border who dies will be counted as the two of them.

"The indignation of the prime minister is very understandable, and it is really hateful for that petty official to make his own opinions without knowing his intentions. Presumably, the official ordered him to wait outside Chang'an City every day, which made him feel uncomfortable, so he did not inform the official when the princess arrived, causing such a misunderstanding. The official ordered him to wait outside the city to show his solemnity, and this passerby and Tibetan merchants can also testify, and if you don't believe that the prime minister can summon the clansmen in Chang'an......"

"There's no need for this, Tubo and the princess are disgraced, and I just want to know how Datang plans to remedy it?"

Lu Dongzan waved his hand to interrupt Wang Jue's words, he would not estimate Wang Jue's status and age, what he said was all nonsense, and it was annoying to listen to.

"That official has been dismissed from his post and sent to prison this morning, and he will be assigned to the frontier after being verified by the Criminal Department, and he will never be allowed to return to Chang'an. I wonder if this is very satisfying? ”

"Naturally, I am not satisfied, what is such a big deal as the marriage between the two countries, this person's deliberate sabotage is just exile? If someone in my Tubo does such a rebellious thing, he will be cramped and skinned, and he will light the sky lantern, and all the people will die. ”

Lu Dongzan said and looked at Wang Qi and the eldest grandson Wuji with deep eyes, even if you find an unpopular official to apologize, you still need to pay enough to prove the prestige of Tubo.

"Yes! Since Tubo has such a custom, then we Datang respect you, Ma Wenjin cramped and peeled the skin to light the sky lantern, and all the people of the clan were given death, I don't know if this is so satisfying! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji, who had not spoken, said in a deep voice, looking at Lu Dongzan with sad and angry eyes, and there was a great sense of breaking up if he didn't agree.

"Naturally, we are guests in Datang, even if we are humiliated, we don't want to be that evil guest, especially the little princess is kind at heart and doesn't want to see people bleed. According to the original opinion, it is enough to eliminate the evil head, and the rest of the people and the court can redeem him with 100,000 volumes of books, so that he can also have the best of both worlds, what do the two adults think? ”

"Great goodness!"

"Childlike and benevolent, princess is beautiful!"

Both of them agreed, as for the 100,000 books~ It is just a larger order for the Cai family bookstore, which can be completed in half a month by working day and night, and the cost is only about 80,000 yuan, and the cost of the Ministry of Rites is up.

Lu Dongzan frowned, but he didn't expect these two people to agree so happily, 100,000 books, even if they are all Analects, I am afraid that they are worth millions of yuan, so these two people will not bargain? His ideal was just 8,000 books.

"That's it, what books do you want, please make a list to the official as soon as possible, as long as you can give it, the official will personally deliver it to the door within half a month." Wang Qi was afraid that Lu Dongzan would regret it, so he hurriedly said.

Lu Dongzan's eyes suddenly stood out and stared at Lao Yuan, can he still choose his own books? Isn't this Ministry of Rites old and confused?

"Please ask Lord Wang to help Ben Xiang select 100,000 books that are the most read in the Tang Dynasty nowadays, and the most read books must be the best, I'm tired of Lord Wang."

Lu Dongzan was afraid that these two old foxes would want to see any clues from the list of books he listed, so he simply handed over the right to choose to Wang Jue, as for the books that readers read the most, they don't care about the four books and five classics, and there are hundreds of schools.

Wang Jue glanced at Lu Dongzan strangely when he heard this, and patted his chest to ensure that it was okay. I was overjoyed in my heart, I can save tens of thousands of dollars now, and it seems that this appearance is not so difficult to speak!

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Lu Dongzan sympathetically, and said with a hearty smile: "I don't know where Her Royal Highness the princess is?" The old man wants to go and see her, if she marries, I can't be an uncle, and I have to sit at the main table! ”

"Hehe, the princess is studying, it's inconvenient to disturb at the moment, if the two countries can form an in-law, is the eldest grandson still afraid that he won't have the chance to see the princess?" Lu Dongzan said with a smile, joke! There is no Ministry of Etiquette to welcome the envoys to Honglu Temple, why do you want to see the true face of the princess?

"In this way, the official Meng Lang is the official, and the official still has important things to do, so he will leave first."

The eldest grandson Wuji got up and said goodbye, Lu Dongzan sent a housekeeper to send him off, and Wang Jue did not stop him, this Lu Dongzan is thunder and rain, you must know that this is the case, he will not ask the eldest grandson Wuji to come together today.

The remaining two worked out the details of welcoming the princess, and they fought back and forth, and in the end, in addition to the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, a lot of Tibetan etiquette was added, which made Lu Dongzan's eyes squint with joy.

When Lu Dongzan personally sent Wang Jue to the door, Wang Jue took his hand affectionately and promised that the 200,000 volumes of books would be delivered to the Tibetan courtyard within a month.

As for why 200,000 volumes! Because Wang Jue tentatively proposed to exchange 50,000 volumes of books for Ma Wenjin's life in the middle, the two bargained and finally priced 100,000 volumes.

Looking at Wang Qi with a brisk pace, Lu Dongzan showed a confused look, is Datang really so rich, two million yuan of money in exchange for the thoughtfulness of the outcast family? Niang Xipi, is the dowry that Lao Tzu wants to be less?
