Chapter 92: Six Trial Marriage Envoys

Lu Dongzan has always held himself in high esteem, of course, he will not raise any objections in public, and he also knows that opposition is useless, unless he withdraws from this competition, but that is impossible.

The Tubo army was on the snowy plateau, crisscrossing the entire plateau, defeating dozens of countries of all sizes, and did not meet a decent opponent, but his son Kaqinling, who had always been very proud, led 50,000 Tubo soldiers and horses, but was defeated by the Tang army.

The Tubo soldiers who overturned the Tuyuhun king's tooth tent in Tuyuhun were finally defeated by the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

And the person who led the Tang army and defeated them twice is said to be only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, and this young man has neither led troops nor fought before becoming the envoy of the Tang Dynasty.

The bravery of the Tang army made Songtsan Gampo, who had swelled up in his heart, so frightened that he didn't dare to provoke Datang anymore, and he admired Datang even more, and his determination to marry a Tang princess was also firmer.

I came to Datang with an arduous task this time, so how could I give up halfway.

Li Shimin sent someone to bring a section of trees, and there was almost no difference between the two ends of this tree, which was sawed very flat with a saw, and there was almost no difference in thickness.

Li Shimin pointed to this section of the tree and said: "Which of you first tells me that one end of this tree is below and the other end is above, and what you say is completely correct, that is, the winner, each mission has only one chance, and you have to tell your reasons." ”

Several envoys from various countries looked around the trees, and after thinking about it, they didn't know if there was any way to tell which end should be up and which end should be down.

The envoy of the Great Food found a ruler, measured the size of the two buckets, and found that the thickness was the same, so he shook his head and had nothing to do.

The envoys of Hall, Gesa, Tianzhu and other countries had nothing to do after seeing that the Great Food Envoy had passed the measurement, and they gave up directly.

Everyone thinks the same thing, that trees will have a thicker end, a thinner end, and a thicker end below.

Now that both ends are the same thickness, how can I tell which end is the top? Which end is below? There's nothing they can do about it anyway.

Lu Dongzan also circled around the trees, smiled, ordered someone to carry the trees away, threw them into a pond, and when the water calmed down, he pointed to the deeper end of the draught and said.

"Your Majesty! The answer is to put it head down, because the bottom of the tree is next to the roots, and the wood will be harder than the top, and all will be heavier, and if you put it in the water, the draft will be a little deeper than the top of the wood, which is a little softer. ”

As soon as the answer came out, Li Shimin's ministers appreciated Lu Dongzan's ingenuity, and the envoys of various countries were also convinced.

But that's just the first question, Li Shimin

The palace maid brought a pearl with a hole in it, and a red rope, the topic is also very simple, as long as this red rope is passed through the hole in the pearl.

The envoys of various countries felt that this should not be difficult! But no matter how they wore it, they couldn't wear it.

It turns out that the hole that the craftsmen opened in the pearl is not an ordinary hole, but there are nine bends and eighteen bends in it, how can you succeed if you want to pass the red rope through it like this.

Lu Dongzan was the last to appear, and he had long expected that this piercing would definitely not be so simple, so he had been thinking of a way.

Just when he felt that there was nothing he could do, suddenly there was a pain on his body, and he went in from inside his clothes, and when he touched it, the culprit turned out to be a black ant, quite big, no wonder it hurt so much to bite his body.

Lu Dongzan looked at the ant that was pinched to death by him in his hand, and suddenly laughed, he immediately found a big ant on the ground around him, walked over, tied the red rope to the ant's waist, put the ant at the mouth of the pearl's hole, and blew lightly, the ant crawled out from another hole, and Lu Dongzan won the game again brilliantly.

The next day, Li Shimin ordered people to find a hundred pairs of horses, these horses are all mother-son relationships, Li Shimin asked the envoys of various countries to distinguish that these two horses are mother-child relationships, and they must all be found out.

The foals ran around happily, and the envoys tried their best, but they could not fully distinguish the mother-child relationship between these horses.

Lu Dongzan ordered the foals to be kept in solitary confinement, and only fodder for the foals and not allowed them to drink water.

The next morning, after the foal was released, the thirsty foal ran to find his mother to drink milk to quench his thirst, and the relationship between mother and child was found out at once.

After winning three games in a row, it stands to reason that Lu Dongzan has won without any suspense. But Li Shimin just wanted to deliberately embarrass Lu Dongzan.

Li Shimin also gave envoys from various countries, 100 sheep each, 100 jars of wine, and asked them to participate in each group of 100 people.

The envoys of various countries felt that it was not easy to drink wine and eat meat, and after killing and skinning the sheep, and roasting them fragrantly, they ate meat and drank wine.

The new Chinese wine is no better than the mare's milk wine on the grassland, and it is easy to get drunk when you drink it quickly.

As a result, the people of the various missions not only did not finish the wine, nor did they finish the mutton, let alone knead the sheepskin, and they were all drunk and fell to the ground.

At the beginning, Lu Dongzan asked the people below to drink slowly in small sips, and not to eat meat too quickly.

Instead, Lu Dongzan and the others were slowly drinking, eating meat, chatting, and kneading the sheepskin by the way from morning to evening.

One night a few days later, Li Shimin asked the envoys of various countries to be taken away from their residences, and then asked them to go back by themselves.

The people of the missions of various countries are basically the first time to envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and they are very unfamiliar with the terrain of Chang'an City, and it is night, and the lights are blind, and they can still find their way back.

Lu Dongzan was cunning like a fox, knowing that Li Shimin called everyone out, it was definitely not so simple, he had already made a mark along the way, and he easily returned to his residence along the mark.

Lu Dongzan won five games in a row, the envoys of various countries have already given up, they are already like this, how to compare, luck makes you win a game, it can't change anything, just watch the performance of the Tubo mission.

Li Shimin also knew that if he continued to embarrass Lu Dongzan, he was a bit of a deception, and he really couldn't say it.

Instead, he found Lu Dongzan and said: "Although you have won all the games, our people in Datang have a habit of saying that good things are more grinding, good things come in pairs, six or six Shun, so I have to test you again, if you pass the test, Princess Wencheng will marry your family Zampu, if you can't pass the test, it's no wonder I." ”

"Your Majesty, we in Tubo sincerely pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and we also sincerely want to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, so we have no complaints about the test proposed by Your Majesty." Lu Dongzan replied.

"You can think like this, I am very relieved, the last test is tomorrow, you go back and rest first."

The next day, Li Shimin summoned the envoys of various countries to begin the final test.

There were 300 young girls at the scene, all of them were as beautiful as flowers, talented and beautiful, wearing red wedding dresses and wearing red hijabs on their heads.

Li Shimin smiled and said to Lu Dongzan: "Princess Wencheng is among these three hundred women, whether you can find it depends on your ability." If you find out, Princess Wencheng will marry to Tubo, and if you can't find it, then you will take your embassy and the dowry, and go back to where you came from. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin said to the envoys of other countries: "You can also participate, that is, you can find the real Princess Wencheng, and Princess Wencheng will marry your king." ”

There are almost no difference between the three hundred girls, and they all cover their heads one by one, even if they are Princess Wencheng's biological parents, they may not be able to find out, which one of them is their daughter?

What's more, the envoys of various countries, including Lu Dongzan, have never seen Princess Wencheng's face, and they don't even know what Princess Wencheng looks like, which makes everyone how to accurately find Princess Wencheng from the three hundred girls.
