Chapter Thirty-Three: Verbal Sword
Don't understand? Lu Dongzan smiled bitterly in his heart, how could he not understand.
Lu Dongzan has always felt that his love with the noble girl in Tubo is as pure as the lotus flower on the snowy mountain, but it is out of reach, but he didn't expect to see this silently guarded love in the palace of the Tang Dynasty.
Although it is praised, but for the sake of Tubo and the great cause of Songtsan Gampo, Lu Dongzan also had to be ruthless to break such a love, of course, he did not plan to let go of Xuan Shijing, the existence of Xuan Shijing may be a catastrophe for Tubo.
"No matter how much Dongshan Hou says now, this minister believes that the harmony between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo is also mutually beneficial, although Dongshan Hou intends to be the princess of Jinyang, but in front of the family and the country, how should Dongshan Hou choose, presumably there is no need to say more about it." Lu Dongzan said with a smile.
"No, is it possible that the great minister also has the habit of casually sending the woman he loves to someone else's arms? I, Xuan Shijing, am a man who stands up to the sky, but I can't do such a thing, not to mention, what the prime minister is talking about now is just your speech, Your Majesty has not agreed, and my courtiers of the Tang Dynasty have not yet published one, where do you care about yin, it is a little inauthentic. Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
"Xiao Jing is right, Daxiang, Jinyang is Lone's favorite younger sister, the age is still there, Lone thinks it is not suitable to marry your country Zampu, if Daxiang wants to promote the good of Tubo and Tang Qin Jin, I'm afraid I still have to change a candidate." Li Chengqian said.
His Majesty Li Er looked at the people in the palace, and did not speak, for the peace between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li Er's heart was also wavering, if he said that he was friendly, for the current relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, it would inevitably be the best choice, so that Hanzhou and the surrounding Tang border would never be disturbed by Tubo again.
But on the other hand, His Majesty Li Er is a person with hills and valleys in his chest, although there are many benefits to being close, but the word "harmony", when left here, can always become an uncomfortable pimple in his heart.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I came from thousands of miles away in Tibet, in order to marry Sister Ling, I specially brought many treasures from Tibet, if the Tang Dynasty agrees to me Tubo Songtsen Gampo Zampu and your Jinyang princess to conclude a marriage, I Tubo is willing to offer thousands of cattle and sheep, BMW 500 plus a lot of gold and silver treasures"
"Do you think that my Datang lacks thousands of cows, sheep, hundreds of horses, and those gold and silver treasures?" Li Tai said: "Jinyang is regarded as a priceless treasure in the eyes of my brothers and other brothers, if he is a pearl in his palm, how can he let him go to Tubo to suffer." ”
Li Tai said this is not polite at all, if she marries Tubo as a princess of the Tang Dynasty and becomes the princess of Songtsen Gampo, how can she have a bad life, but no matter how good the life of the princess of Tubo is, is it good to live as a princess in the Tang Dynasty? In Datang, there will be a father and brother who love her, and there will be Xuan Shijing who spoils her boundlessly, but when it comes to Tubo, she is just a symbolic tool for friendly exchanges between Tubo and Datang. They will get more than they give.
To put it mildly, this is a loss-making transaction, and it is a bloodletting loss-making transaction.
Lu Dongzan saw that Li Chengqian and Li Tai were resolute, and he knew that these two people couldn't make sense here, and it seemed that if they wanted to achieve the goal of this trip, they would probably have to work hard.
"That is, not only a few princes love Princess Jinyang, but even I and other rough people on the battlefield also love the little princess very much, not the old man said you, you Tubo people, one by one are all big and coarse, the little princess has come to your Tubo, and you must not be wronged by you, not to mention, Lu Dongzan, Songtsan Gampo has already married a wife." Cheng Yanjin glared at Lu Dongzan and said.
Hearing this, Lu Dongzan sighed in his heart, afraid of something, just thinking that Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty was favored by the saints, but he didn't expect that among these princes and courtiers, there would be such a good reputation, and the fact that Zampu had married a wife was indeed true.
"Your Majesty, if the princess of the Tang Dynasty can marry me in Tibet"
"What's the matter, can Songtsen Gampo still take Princess Qizun off?" Cheng Yanjin said.
"I'm afraid the best outcome is nothing more than being a flat wife." Li Ke said with a smile.
The position of a flat wife is a humiliation for the Tang royal family, especially for a princess like Jinyang.
Lu Dongzan's face had begun to sweat, and in this way, the matter he proposed to marry Princess Jinyang for Songtsan Gampo became a humiliation and disdain for Datang.
"From the words of the prime minister, it must have been immersed in my Central Plains culture for a long time." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
If Fang Yiai is again, seeing the expression on Xuan Shijing's face and the words he said at this time, he will definitely wail in his heart, and this person will probably say his irrefutable fallacies again
"The culture of the Central Plains is broad and profound, and a certain one only knows a little bit about it." Lu Dongzan said modestly.
"Does the prime minister know the story of Zhaojun's exit?"
The matter of the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu is also the most famous story about the harmony that has been passed down to this day.
"I know a little bit about it." Lu Dongzan nodded very honestly.
"During the Han Dynasty, before Emperor Wu, the Wenjing and Jing dynasties were harassed by the northern Xiongnu for a long time, and had to make peace with the Xiongnu, when Emperor Wu, Wei Huo sealed the wolf Juxu, abolished the policy of harmony, and Zhaojun out of the fortress, it was when Emperor Yuan was in power, decades have passed, Emperor Wu has passed away, and there is no Wei Huo and the like in the court, to be honest, I think that since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty has begun to go downhill, and the Xiongnu entered Chang'an three times to seek relatives, at that time, the state of the Han Dynasty may not be enough to fight with the Xiongnu again, Therefore, there is a matter of Wang Zhaojun being named a princess and marrying a Xiongnu Shan Yu. ”
"This is a beautiful story for the ages, but Hou Ye thinks so?" Lu Dongzan looked at Xuan Shijing, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, although Wang Zhaojun represented the peace between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu back then, but his identity was essentially just a palace maid, could it be that this Xuan Shijing meant to let the Tang Emperor find a palace maid to be a princess and marry Zampu?
"The Huns are strong, and the Han is weak, so they are friendly and have kept the peace of the Han for decades." Xuan Shijing said.
"What does Dongshan Hou want to say?" Although Lu Dongzan was confused by Xuan Shijing's words, his intuition also felt that Xuan Shijing said this, I am afraid that it was another target.
Xuan Shijing played with the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Don't you understand the big picture?" That Ben Hou directly told the prime minister that the Tang Dynasty was not the Han Dynasty during the Han Yuan Emperor, and the Tibetan was not the powerful Xiongnu back then. (To be continued.) )
