Chapter 197: Frustration

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Tibetan envoys, the Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan, asked to see him, saying that there is a big matter to discuss with His Majesty!"

At the court meeting, there was an envoy who asked to see Li Shimin, of course, he would not disagree, and waved his hand to let Lu Dongzan come, and Lu Dongzan, who was wearing traditional clothes, did not have the slightest feeling of stage fright after seeing the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Pine-Pine-Small' said

After bowing down generously, he said: "Tubo has passed the great minister Lu Dongzan with the sincerity of Tubo Zanpu Songzan Gampo to come to the Tang Dynasty to meet Your Majesty, I Tubo admires the Tang Dynasty for a long time, the Tang Dynasty is a treasure of outstanding people, Tubo yearns for it, but it is a pity that my Tubo is located in a remote and poor material, so that even the tribute gifts can not be gathered, and I hope Your Majesty will not blame." ”

Li Shimin's heart was full of joy when he said this, and even those officials in the court shook their heads one by one, saying something like the saint's benevolence and the world's heart.

Li Shimin is happy, this happiness will be rewarded: "Okay, good, it is rare for Tubo to have such a heart, since I came to pay tribute, then I can't be stingy with rewards, so I will seal Tubo Zanpu Songtsan Gampo as... Guiyi King, a special python robe and jade belt, and another gold thousand taels of silver and a thousand taels of jade Ruyi ten pairs... ”

Li Shimin's last opinion in the court suddenly changed direction, and some people thought that this was the time to show the demeanor of a great country, and the reward should be heavier, so they agreed with it.

And some people think that the tattered things sent by Tubo are at most ten taels of silver, and they should give so many last time to be crowned king, which is really undeserved.

But fortunately, they were still afraid of Li Shimin's face and did not oppose it on the spot, but they were ready to persuade the emperor well, and if the court had some money, they would squander it and be the culprit of others.

If no one objects to it, it will naturally cost money, and it is said that the people of Tibet will be ecstatic when they get the reward, after all, they have seen a lot of such a small country.

Who knew that Lu Dongzan, who should have been grateful, did not have the slightest joy, but bowed down again and said: "Don't dare to let His Majesty the Tang Dynasty spend so much."

Although I am small in Tibet, I know that I can't be insatiable, and the tribute things can't afford these money, and I don't dare to accept the canonization before I have made an inch, but the small country and the widows are located in the remote area and lack of materials.

If Your Majesty has mercy, please give me some farming utensils and books, and it would be nice to have some seeds.

If I can get His Majesty's mercy, then I can live in Tibet, and the people will be sad to thank you for your kindness. ”

Lu Dongzan said that it is called a miserable, in short, the core idea is one, don't be able to eat and drink gold, silver and jade, and don't want the so-called throne, these things are all virtual, if you give me gold and silver, I have no place to buy food.

If you have pity on us, give us some farming utensils and books, and some seeds so that we can grow our own food and feed ourselves.

But Lu Dongzan also found that the joy on Li Shimin's face, who had given Qian Shuangli before, had disappeared when he said something about farming, and the ministers who had discussed it before also became silent at this moment.

What is wrong with this embarrassment? Lu Dongzan was a little confused.

The situation in the court is changing, and there are new changes in the harem, the red lotus on the cross slope released a white dove, and the flying white dove came to the palace of the queen's mother.

"Niangniang, it's Sister Honglian's letter, look!" After Empress Changsun opened the secret letter and was immediately shocked by the content of the letter, this matter cannot be sloppy, if it is not done well, something big will happen.

Empress Changsun immediately said: "Come on, send this to the emperor!" ”

After listening to this, the attendant who came said "Niangniang, Your Majesty is now in the court, this..." ”

Empress Eldest Sun said with a hint of anger between her eyebrows: "Send it immediately, you, don't you understand?" ”

Since knowing that she was pregnant, Empress Changsun has spoken to the palace maids and chamberlains so harshly for a long time, and as soon as she saw that the queen was angry, the chamberlain immediately picked up the secret letter and ran, fighting to be beaten and sending things to His Majesty's hands.

Soon the secret letter was in Li Shimin's hands, and Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked serious after reading the secret letter. It's dangerous.

Not long before the secret letter arrived, they were talking about something else because they were a little unhappy about farm tools and book seeds.

Songtsen Gampo wants to marry a daughter of the clan as his wife, and it is clear that it is the daughter of the clan, and it doesn't even matter if she is a princess or not, as long as she is a woman of the royal family.

Making such a request is already considered a kiss, but Lu Dongzan didn't say so, only said that Songtsan Gampo admired the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin, the emperor, so he wanted to be the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, and it would be better if he could become Li Shimin's son-in-law.

This kind of round-the-clock touting really satisfies the vanity of many people, and Li Shimin almost agreed, and it was just a little bit, and it was this point that made the secret letter delivered to him.

The secret letter was sent by Chen Mo's personal maid Red Lotus, and it was clearly written that the two Tubo people asked to see each other, and they wanted to marry the Tang princess instead if they wanted to get the inheritance of the cross slope, and they were scolded by Chen Mo.

This means that Chen Mo does not agree to be a parent, but Lu Dongzan does not say a kiss now, and he does not say a princess, but in essence, this is a kiss, and Chen Mo has already said that he does not agree with this family matter, but this Lu Dongzan actually came to beg, and made it clear that he wanted to pit him Li Shimin.

Li Shimin instantly thought of what Chen Mo said at the beginning, not to be a minister, not to pay compensation, not to cut the land, not to be in harmony with the Son of Heaven, to guard the country, and the king died in the community, if there was a conflict with Chen Mo because of this matter, people would leave in anger or simply support others...

"Made, dare to yin me!!" Li Shimin's various MMPs in his heart are as quiet as water on the surface.

"Aiqing just said that Tubo asked to marry a clan girl in Napu Songtsen Gampo, in fact, I am quite willing to fulfill it, but this matter is a little difficult to do." In a blink of an eye, he thought of a way, Li Shimin said with a smile.

Lu Dongzan's eyes lit up, the emperor has an idea, then it will be easy to do, asking to marry the daughter of the clan was driven out of the cross slope last night Lu Dongzan thought of a compromise solution, not to ask for the Tang princess, not even to ask for a big deal, as long as it is a woman, even as long as you bring a large number of books and various talents and seeds to Tubo, it is a mother!

"This... Your Majesty, why is it so difficult? Lu Dongzan asked with excitement.

"Hey, the men and women in the clan are now worshipping in the school, the prince of heaven and earth is the teacher, although the teacher is at the end, the teacher of my Datang is relatively strong, but the children's relatives need the teacher's nod."

After sighing fakely, Li Shimin said, Lu Dongzan had an ominous premonition.
