Chapter 359: Thinking Beautifully
Lu Dongzan's words and deeds all fell in Jia Yi's eyes, he expressed great admiration for Chai Lingwu for learning to transfer losses to the Tubo people, if Jia Yi hadn't been at the beginning because of Li Xueyan's affairs with the Tubo people, he would have learned Chai Lingwu to do this.
From the beginning when Lu Dongzan was hit by Chai Lingwu and got a few golden silk nanmu in his arms, Lu Dongzan completely fell into the trap designed by Chai Lingwu, maybe in this operation, Chai Lingwu will not have golden silk nanmu to take home to honor Chai Shao, but he can get back 20,000 yuan to Chai Shao, which is estimated to make him happy for several days, at least Chai Lingwu began to learn to use his brain when facing problems, which can make Chai Shao feel very gratified.
As for Lu Dongzan did not come to Jia Yi to ask for Jin Si Nanmu, Jia Yi was not surprised at all, after all, the contradiction between them was completely exposed on the surface, if Lu Dong Zanqi used it to ask Jia Yi, Jia Yi would feel restless, after all, Lu Dongzan, who could suppress his hatred and came to the door for a little Jin Si Nanmu, would inevitably have a very deep city, and Jia Yi had to guard against it.
Lu Dongzan went to the palace, this is the ending that Jia Yi expected early on, it just so happens that Jia Yi is idle now and has nothing to do, so he simply went to the palace to watch a good show, from the smile on his face before Lu Dongzan who came back to report to him when his subordinates came back to report to him before entering the palace again, Jia Yi can guess that this Lu Dongzan must not have any good intentions, and the calculation turned out to be calculated on Li Er's head, I really don't know if this Lu Dongzan's brain has grown into a pig.
Asked someone to prepare the carriage, Jia Yi took the carriage directly in the direction of the palace and walked slowly, although Jia Yi's identity did not mean that he could enter the palace if he wanted to, but if it was passed on at the door, he would inevitably be summoned by the emperor, especially when Jia Yi had just given Li Er a very big benefit, Li Er would definitely not turn Jia Yi away.
When Jia Yi came to the front of Emperor Li Er, Lu Dongzan stood in front of Li Er unexpectedly, Jia Yi ignored Lu Dongzan's hateful eyes, saluted Li Er, and then stood quietly aside.
"Jia Yi, do you have anything to do with me?" With Li Er's shrewdness, how could he not know what Jia Yi came here for today, but no matter how he said that Jia Yi was also his courtier, and he was a Tang Dynastyman, he definitely couldn't let him get off the stage in front of Lu Dongzan, so Li Er asked knowingly.
"Well, the minister's matter is not very important, let's let the Tubo national teacher finish the matter first, and the minister is talking to the emperor in detail."
"Okay, then you can just stand on the sidelines."
Before Li Er's words fell, the message of Chai Shao's request to see reached Li Er's ears, and he didn't say anything, but summoned them together, and soon Chai Shao and Chai Lingwu appeared in front of Li Er again, still with that kind of arrogant look, still looking at Lu Dongzan with contempt on his face.
The appearance of Chai Shao and Chai Lingwu made Lu Dongzan's face very ugly, originally he planned to quietly exchange the golden silk nanmu with Li Er and then go to Chai Shao's mansion to give the golden silk nanmu to Chai Shao, but he didn't expect this person to get the news like this, he didn't say anything here, but Chai Shao's father and son also appeared in front of Li Er at this time.
After accepting the salute of Chai Shao's father and son, Li Er didn't need to ask more, after accepting the salute of Chai Shao's father and son, he looked at Lu Dongzan, and said to Lu Dongzan with a faint smile on his face: "I don't know why the national teacher came to find me?" ”
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I actually came here this time to ask His Majesty the Emperor to marry one of your princesses to my Tubo Zampu."
Lu Dongzan's words made everyone present grow their mouths in surprise, no one thought that Lu Dongzan, who was supposed to come to Li Er to ask for golden silk nanmu, actually said the main purpose of his coming to the Tang Dynasty, such a change was really unexpected by everyone, even His Majesty the Emperor was a little unexpected, and he didn't react for a while.
After waiting for a long time, although Lu Dongzan was very satisfied with the effect of his words, he was more concerned with whether the question he asked could be answered by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and seeing that the emperor did not speak, he continued.
"This time, I am entrusted by my Tubo Zampu, and sincerely come to ask His Majesty the Emperor to marry the princess to my Tubo Zampu, in order to express our sincerity, I brought our unique grassland yak 5,000 heads, gold and silver catties, jewelry 50 boxes."
Li Er didn't say anything here, Lu Dongzan first made the situation of the dowry clear, I really don't know if he thinks that the Tang Dynasty didn't talk about the wealth of Tubo or that the little thing he brought is enough to impress His Majesty Li Er, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
If Jia Yi hadn't come here, maybe Lu Dongzan's dowry would have been able to form a certain attraction to Li Er, after all, in the more than 20 years that Li Er was in power, the war had never been broken, so that the country was a lot more stable during the entire Zhenguan period, but the people's lives were not greatly improved, and the treasury was even more scarce, and there were so many things in the account, at least it could support one or two wars.
It's a pity that before this, Jia Yi had already eliminated these financial deficits that should have existed, and even now the treasury is full enough to support Li Er to fight all the wars he wants, of course, the premise is that the population is still needed.
Sure enough, for Lu Dongzan's dowry, Li Er's face did not show any happy expression, but felt that this Lu Dongzan was really stingy, and he wanted to ask for the princess of the Tang Dynasty when he came out with such a thing, and he really regarded Li Er as a food.
The yak is said to be a cow, but he is very different from the real farming cattle in Guanzhong, the yak that is naturally suitable for living on the plateau, after coming to Guanzhong, it has no role at all, except for eating meat, it can only eat meat, as for letting it work in the field, it is better to change it to a donkey, and the thick hair on the yak's body will not last long, and it will be killed by the heat alive.
As for the gold and silver treasures, the current Li Er really can't use them up, and he can't look down on those brought by Lu Dongzan at all.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Li Er still didn't react, Lu Dongzan just wanted to say something more, but Jia Yi, who was standing on the side, stood up at this time and said to Lu Dongzan with an arrogant face.
"I said the national teacher, we have a lot of resources in the Tang Dynasty, the little things you said are really pitiful, if you want to marry a woman in an ordinary family, you may be able to make do with it, if you want to marry my Datang princess, you better go back and prepare a few times more and come back."
Lu Dongzan was very angry at Jia Yi's sudden interjection, if it weren't for the fact that this was in the Tang Palace, in front of the Tang Emperor, Lu Dongzan would have scolded Jia Yi a couple.
"Duqu County Marquis, this is a matter between my Tubo Kingdom and the Tang Kingdom, I represent my Tubo Zampu, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to stand up at this moment, can you represent His Majesty the Tang Emperor?"
Lu Dongzan's little agitation did not play any role, because Li Er had heard from Jia Yi's mouth a long time ago that "my Tang Dynasty woman does not marry another country", and now Lu Dongzan actually opened his mouth to ask for the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and it was not incomprehensible for Jia Yi to stand up and speak at this moment.
It's just that Li Er really didn't understand that Lu Dongzan was still carrying a huge amount of debts now, how could he have other thoughts about marrying the princess, although this matter was the main purpose of his visit to Datang this time.
"Let's put this matter aside for the time being, you better settle the matter between you and Chai Shao first." Li Er did not respond positively to Lu Dongzan's request, but was ready to solve the matter in front of him first.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, what I want to talk about next is this matter, if you can agree to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty to my Tubo Zampu, I hope you can add a few golden silk nanmu to the return gift......"
Rao is Lu Dongzan's face is thick enough, and he can't help but blush after saying this, although his status in Tubo is transcendent, even if Songtsen Gampo sees him, he will be commensurate with a teacher, but it is still a little unreasonable to take out the things that originally belonged to Songtsan Gampo to pay off gambling debts.
After listening to Lu Dongzan's words, several people around him collectively crashed again, no one knew how Lu Dongzan's face could be so thick-skinned, until this moment, Jia Yi also knew what Lu Dongzan's idea was, and he stood aside and couldn't hold back, and laughed directly.
"And, think beautifully."
"Duqu County Marquis, please respect yourself." Even if Lu Dongzan can bear it again, Jia Yi's repeated insults and ridicule of Lu Dongzan here finally made Lu Dongzan a little unbearable.
"I'm a fart with self-respect, your wishful thinking is really good, let's not say that my princess of the Tang Dynasty will not go with you to Tubo at all, even if His Majesty the Emperor agrees, you should give our Emperor His Majesty a dowry, and it is the first time I have heard that there is something to ask for in return." Jia Yi didn't give Lu Dongzan any face, and directly said what he thought in his heart.
Lu Dongzan was ridiculed by Jia one after another, and finally reached the critical point of patience, thinking that he is also a dignified national teacher above and below 10,000 people in Tubo, even if Songtsan Gampo respects and adds to him, but now after coming to the Tang Dynasty, he is constantly provoked and insulted by the marquis of a small word, how can he still be able to endure it.
Seeing Lu Dongzan roll up his sleeves violently, he was about to rush towards Jia Yi so that he could give him a fat beating.
But Lu Dongzan had just taken a step, and he stopped abruptly, without him, at this moment, there were already several guards by his side who put all the steel knives in their hands on Lu Dongzan's neck, as long as he dared to take a step forward, it would inevitably end up on the spot.
