Chapter 172: The King of Tubo Asks for Marriage
Fight to the end, burst the chrysanthemum of the gloomy god, this is an erotic encounter...... Get the monthly pass, gods.
Ask for a dozen more monthly passes, and one more chapter will definitely explode!
Trisong Dezan, this person should be regarded as one of the British lords in the history of Tibet.
During the Trisong Detsen period, the Tubo Dynasty reached its peak, not only in the strong force, but also in his internal affairs construction of the Tubo Dynasty and his continuous introduction, learning and absorption of foreign cultures.
Trisong Dezan established laws, strictly hierarchies, clarified the boundaries between nobles and subjects, developed economic production, imitated the Tang system, set up all the Taoist festivals, and cultivated and herded a large number of troops.
What did he do?
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and waved his hand suddenly, "Please wait for tea in the living room of the Prince of Tubo, and the official will go later." β
Zhang Xuan thought slowly, first went back to his bedroom, changed into a purple official robe under the waiting, dressed neatly, and then strode towards the living room.
When I entered the living room, I saw a tall and sturdy figure at a glance, standing there and looking up at the large-character plaque of "The World is for the Public" written by Zhang Xuan on the wall, his body was as immobile as a mountain, exuding an invisible majesty and bearing.
Zhang Xuan's footsteps sank.
Zhang Xuan bowed his hand and said in a slightly stiff Tang official voice, "Chisong Dezan has seen the general!" β
This person's popularity is calm and thick as a mountain. A generation of alien male lords is really extraordinary. Zhang Xuan stared at the new king of Tubo who was about to ascend the throne in front of him, and an impulse suddenly surged in his heart.
It is necessary to take down this Chisong Dezan for some reason, and nip in the bud the master of Zhongxing who revitalized the Tubo Dynasty, so as to avoid the future troubles of the Tang Dynasty.
But reason told him that it was absolutely impossible. Chisong Dezan sent an envoy to Chang'an as a Tibetan envoy, and killed foreign envoys for no reason, which hurt the Tang Dynasty and had too much negative impact, and the imperial court would definitely not agree.
Zhang Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent.
Of course, this trace of murder did not escape Trisong Dezan's eyes. Chi Song Dezan was taken aback, and he was a little unsure why Zhang Xuan had killed him.
You must know that now Tubo and the Tang Dynasty have temporarily reached a peace covenant and are in a long period of truce and peace. And he, the prince of the Tubo lineage, came to Chang'an to pay tribute to the Tang Emperor, and the Tang Dynasty had no reason to be unfavorable to him.
But Tri Song Dezan is not an ordinary Tibetan nobleman after all, he immediately settled down, and smiled casually, "At the Shangyuan Poetry Meeting, Tri Song Dezan was also on the spotβthe high heart, bearing, and talent of a great general are really admirable." β
"It is a great honor to come to visit the general today, and it is a great honor to meet the general."
Zhang Xuan's killing machine was fleeting, and he smiled indifferently and arched his hand, "His Royal Highness Chisong Dezan has a good reputation, and Zhang Xuan really doesn't dare to take it." Your Highness, please be seated. β
The two sat down separately, and Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Please forgive me for speaking bluntly - Your Highness is in Zhang Xuan's mansion, I don't know what advice you have?" β
Chi Song Dezan smiled, "Chi Song Dezan's mother is the princess of Jincheng in the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Ke was taught by her mother, and has always admired the culture of the Tang Dynasty. β
"The general is the minister of the humerus of the Tang Dynasty, Wen Taowu is the best for a while, Chi Song Dezan has been fond of it for a long time, he came to visit the general in the house, prepared a special gift, and asked the general to smile."
Trisong Dezan smiled and clapped his hands, and in an instant, ten extremely beautiful Tibetan singers walked in from outside the hall, and the two Tibetan followers held two jade plates in their hands, and on the jade plates were placed two golden Buddha statues with beautiful and strange shapes.
Zhang Xuan glanced at it, smiled again, and said, "The so-called merit is not punished, such a generous gift, Zhang Xuan really dare not accept it." β
Chi Song Dezan raised his eyebrows and said softly, "A little courtesy, it's nothing, and I ask the general to smile on his face." Tri Song Dezan came here, and asked the general for something. β
"Your Highness, please speak."
"General, although Trisong Dezan is a native of Tibet, he also has the blood of half of the Tang Dynasty in his body. My mother has always taught Yu Xiaoke to follow the etiquette and education of the Tang Dynasty. Now Chi Song Dezan is not talented, and he is willing to follow his father's example and ask to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty in order to rest the eternal friendship between the two countries. β
Tri Song Dezan slowly got up and bowed to Zhang Xuan, "I also ask the general to say a good word or two in front of His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Prison State. β
Zhang Xuan's eyes flashed, and he stared deeply at Chisong Dezan, and his voice slowly became cold, "My emperor and his princesses are all married, I'm afraid I will disappoint His Highness." If His Royal Highness favors my Tang Dynasty woman, there are two beautiful women in Zhang Xuan's mansion who can be presented to His Royal Highness! β
Zhang Xuan was very disgusted and resistant to this matter. In his view, this kind of political marriage itself carries a certain humiliating color, which means that a large empire is afraid and forbearant of foreign races; At the same time, its value is also insignificant. Since the Tang Dynasty, Princess Wencheng, Princess Jincheng and pro-Tubo, but how can they stop the ambition of the Tubo people to invade the border of the Tang Dynasty?
The ambition of Tibet to occupy the Han people is expanding day by day, and the wars between the two countries are still frequent, how can it be eliminated by a friendly princess.
The so-called peace and subsequent peace pact were but a temporary compromise of interests. In other words, this is just an excuse and a cover for the Tibetans to take advantage of the peace gap to accumulate strength, and once the war reserves are completed, the iron hooves of the Tibetans will still rush to the Central Plains, burning, killing, and plundering everything.
The corners of Trisong Dezan's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a smile, "As far as Xiao Ke knows, among the princesses of Tian Khan, there is still His Royal Highness Wanchun who has never been married. On the night of Shangyuan, Xiao Ke saw His Royal Highness Wanchun, with a beautiful and dignified appearance, which was extremely admirable.
If you have to marry Princess Wanchun, Tubo wishes to be subordinate to the Tang Dynasty for generations, and will always be repaired and forever be the state of your son-in-law. β
Listening to Chisong Dezan's words, Zhang Xuan suddenly burst out laughing.
"General He Xiaoye?" Tri Song Dezan's face remained unchanged and he arched his hand.
"His Royal Highness Zhang Xuanxiao is not duplicated." Zhang Xuan waved his hand and said indifferently, "Please forgive Zhang's bluntness, the ambition of Tubo to invade the Central Plains has lasted for more than 100 years. The so-called generations of children have been subordinate to the Tang Dynasty and repaired forever, which is just a ridiculous excuse. β
The corners of Trisong Dezan's mouth twitched, and his expression remained unchanged, "The two countries are divided and united, although there are territorial disputes, but they are generally friendly, which the general must not be able to deny." β
"During the Zhenguan period, Princess Wencheng and pro-Tubo, my ancestor Songtsan Gampo has been loyal to the Tang Dynasty since then, and he has sworn to die for the rest of his life. The friendly exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet for decades are proof of this. β
Zhang Xuan smiled coldly, "Emperor Taizong is on the throne, the Tang Dynasty is strong, and all foreign races in the world are attached. Your little Tibetan is in a remote corner, and it is so difficult to invade the Central Plains. Fear of the national strength of the Tang Dynasty does not mean allegiance, which is also an ironclad fact. β
"Don't talk about it far away, just talk about this dynasty, Tubo invaded my Tang territory, how many wars between the two countries have stopped? In the twenty-first year of Kaiyuan, the two countries entered into the Chiling Alliance. But eight years later, Tubo tore up the alliance and attacked Longyou and the Western Regions, trying to invade the Central Plains. In the meantime, more than 100 battles, large and small, the first line of the Western Regions of Longshuo, the corpses are all over the wilderness and the blood flows into the sea, such facts are in front of you, and His Royal Highness Trisong Dezan still said that he will be repaired forever? β
"Tubo is big, and now he is holding Tuyuhun, Nanzhao and other barbarians, and his ambition to kill the world will not die. In this case, please forgive Zhang for not believing that there is a trace of sincerity in what His Royal Highness said. β
Trisong Dezan's face finally changed.
The main reason for his purpose in coming to the Tang Dynasty to seek relatives was to exchange peace for a longer period of peace to allow Tubo to recuperate, and at the same time to confuse the Tang Dynasty. As Zhang Xuan said, the ambition of the Tibetan people to invade the Central Plains has always existed, and the so-called harmony is nothing but a threatening political strategy.
After a little hesitation, Chi Song Dezan said generously, "What the general said, Xiao Ke is really ashamed. It is undeniable that the fundamental reason why Tubo has repeatedly invaded the Tang Dynasty is that the poor people in Tubo are poor and the people's livelihood is difficult. Therefore, in order to survive and develop, it has to expand externally and occupy rich land. β
But Trisong Detsen knew very well that the war between the two countries had hurt the country's capital and caused the people to live in misery. Therefore, Tri Song Detsen has always advocated reconciliation between the two countries, trade exchanges, and trade to support the people of Tibet...... Don't hide it from the general, Xiao Ke is the prince of Tubo, he can ascend to the throne of Tubo one day, he will follow the ancestors, and he will always be the country of the Tang Dynasty, and he will never commit an inch of land in the Tang Dynasty! If this oath is violated, Trisong Detsen will die without a place to be buried! β
Tri Song Dezan's words were loud, and he hugged his fists with a solemn expression.
Zhang Xuan looked at Chisong Dezan quietly.
"The formal alliance between the two countries can be torn up, let alone an ethereal oath." Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, "Your Highness, is Zhang a three-year-old child?" β
Chi Song Dezan let out a long breath and stared deeply at Zhang Xuan. knew that the purpose of coming to Zhang Xuan this time was in vain.
He has never dragged his feet in doing things, and slowly got up and arched his hand to Zhang Xuan, "Since the general refuses to help, Chisong Dezan doesn't dare to ask for extravagance." That's it. Xiao Ke will be cheeky to propose to Yang Xiang and His Royal Highness the Prince of the Prison State in person. β
Zhang Xuan also got up and said indifferently, "I also tell Your Highness that I will strongly oppose the matter of sticking to Baidu's relatives." Zhang is not right about things, and please don't blame His Royal Highness. β
The cold brilliance in Tri Song Dezan's eyes flashed, and he laughed out loud after a little hesitation, "Xiao Ke understands. Xiao Ke categorically did not dare to complain about the general, - Trisong Dezan said goodbye to the general! β
Trisong Detsen brushed his sleeves away.
Leaving Zhang Xuan's Great General's Mansion, at the moment when he was about to get into the carriage, Chi Song Dezan turned around and swept the Great General's Mansion deep in the solemn courtyard, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He did not believe that the Tang Dynasty would disagree with Tubo's request for peace with his relatives.
If the Tang Dynasty does not obey, tens of thousands of Tibetan iron horsemen will definitely harass Longshuo for a while. Chisong Dezan can see it accurately, the Tang Dynasty currently has hidden dangers in An Lushan outside, and it is also unstable internally, if Tubo takes advantage of the chaos to raise troops again, the consequences are really unpredictable.
