Chapter 799: The Top of the Mountain
Gao Jun saw that it was Lu Dongzan, the prime minister of Tubo. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he and Fan Ying greeted him, and bowed his hand, "Prime Minister, how can Gao not recognize him!" More than a year ago, when I said goodbye to Brother Songtsan on the way to Yanqi, I said that I would go to Luoqi City in person, and today I will not break my promise. β
Lu Dongzan arched his hand and said, "It's just that right now, Yanqi is already the Yanqi of the Tang Dynasty, and Qiuzi has also half entered Xizhou!" The name of Gao Beijia, we have to smell it on the top of the mountain! β
He remembered the last time he saw Mrs. Liu, and then looked at Fan Ying beside him, and he didn't recognize it, "I don't know why Mrs. Liu didn't arrive?" Since the news of your arrival, Jiamusa and the Great Leader have been talking about her not long ago. β
Gao Jun introduced, "This is my third lady Fan Ying, and my junior sister." The eldest lady Liu Yuru was inconvenient to go up the mountain because of her new child, so she brought her sister to visit. β
Lu Dongzan looked at Fan Ying again and said with a smile, "Sure enough, it's another Jiamusa, I'm afraid that we will compare our Jiamusa!" He led Gao Jun inside, and at the palace gate, there was another guard of honor, it turned out to be Songzan, the great leader of Tubo, and Princess Wencheng was waiting here.
Songtsam is still like that, with a white face and black hair, a silk robe, and a majestic and cordial demeanor.
Princess Wencheng beside him was dressed in a brocade dress, covered with a white-collared cloak in the fur, which was more beautiful than a year ago, and her face was a little warmer than then.
At this time, the couple snuggled up to each other, holding hands, and smiled at the two Xizhou guests who had just arrived. The two people in front of them were just like a pair of golden boys and girls, with fur leather boots, heroic and upright, and they couldn't see the fatigue of the journey at all.
Gao Jun pulled Fan Ying up and stepped forward quickly, and saluted the two, "Brother, princess, Xizhou Gao Jun came to meet as promised!" β
Songtsan stepped forward and grabbed Gao Jun and said, "Brother, the last time we saw you, you were still a pastoral supervisor......
"I'm still a shepherd, and I haven't made much progress," Gao said.
"But you are already the chief pastor of the Tianshan Pasture! It's the Silk Road Supervisor again! Don't drive in Xizhou...... And I heard that Chang'an's appointment of your governor of Xizhou may have arrived in Xizhou! β
Fan Ying thought that what Songtsan said must not be groundless, so the senior brother was the first person in Xizhou, and she couldn't help but be secretly happy.
"We haven't heard much about your deeds these days. Every time I talk to the princess, I am happy for you! Did you receive the last letter? If it was for the princess, we would have to go to Xizhou again, but we didn't make the trip because of the weather. β
Gao Jun was secretly glad that he didn't come this time, if he waited for them to come to the door, it would be a trouble.
Fortunately, after Songtsan asked, the princess reminded him that it was inconvenient to let the distinguished guests stand outside the door for a long time, and Songtsan hurriedly invited the two to enter.
The road to Pudra Palace is very wide, and there is a pedaling path more than 10 feet wide on the southern slope that leads to the central Saifo Terrace. From here, you can enter the White House and the Red House.
As soon as Princess Wencheng saw Fan Ying, she couldn't stop looking at her, and pulled Fan Ying's hand and didn't let go. She said to Fan Ying, "Sister, I thought that only Mrs. Liu was stronger than me, but I didn't know that he brought another one, according to my sister, you will not fall behind Mrs. Liu in the future!" β
Fan Ying also said, "The princess is the character I admire, and Sister Liu has also said it a few times, saying that Princess Jiamusa is a character in the Nine Heavenly Palace, which makes me look forward to seeing each other today." β
The princess pulled Fan Ying while introducing her, saying that after entering the palace gate in the west, she entered the red palace, and she explained to her the story of the colorful paintings carved on the beams, column heads, and railings of the foyer, Buddha hall, and scripture hall.
The White House on the east side is the palace for governing and living. There is a seven-storey inner patio and a flat roof. The ground floor is a storehouse divided by a dragon wall.
At the east end of the second floor is the foyer of the White House.
The third layer is the mezzanine.
In the center of the fourth floor is the main hall of the White House, the East Hall.
There is a patio on each floor above the main hall, and the patio is surrounded by a cloister, along which office and living rooms, attendant rooms, kitchens, warehouses, etc. are arranged. On the seventh floor are the East and West Sunlight Halls, where Songtsam lived.
Fan Ying asked, "Sister, can this palace have ten floors?" β
The princess said, "The Saifotai built by the mountain is nine stories high, and the upper four floors are windowed, which is combined with the nine-story faΓ§ade of the Red Palace, so the Putuo Palace has thirteen floors high...... I don't know why my sister asked this layer? β
When Songtsan heard this, he also turned his head to look at him, and kept secretly praising the third lady in his heart.
Fan Ying couldn't answer, but her face was red, which made the princess a little strange. But looking at her demeanor, there seems to be something unusual hidden.
Gao Jun listened and said, "Brother, princess, since she got on the road, she said that she has arrived in Luoqi City, and she must live on the tenth floor when she rests at night, otherwise she will ...... for nothing."
The princess smiled and said, "That's easy to say, I will definitely get what my brother and sister want!" β
The fifth floor of the Red Palace, the West Hall.
The great chief of Songtsam held a grand welcome banquet for the guests of Xizhou, and all the high-ranking officials of Tibet arrived.
In the place where you can't see under the cloister, not only is the local music of Tubo playing, but also at the end of the song, suddenly the sound of silk and bamboo comes from there, and the long table in the middle is already full of gold cups and silver cups, jade liquid elixir, and many officials of Luo Some City are sitting below.
In the center sat Tang Xizhou don't drive Gao Jun and Fan Ying, and Songtsan and his wife actually sat on the side seat on the left and right, Princess Wencheng next to Fan Ying, and Songtsan next to Gao Beijia.
The Tibetan officials could see that such a way of sitting had never been done before, perhaps because the big chief attached great importance to the people who came and could not express it, so he arranged such a seat.
At the beginning of the banquet, after Songtsan opened to welcome the guests from Xizhou, Gao Jun stood up, "Brother, I am in Luoqi City today, and I have two things to talk about in front of me. After I said that, my brother thought that it was okay to drink, and it was not too late for us to drink again. β
Songtsan hurriedly asked, "I don't know what the virtuous brother has to say?" β
Fan Ying knew that he wanted to talk about the matter in front, and he didn't want to wait for a while to drink too much before mentioning it. She quietly took the princess's hand and said:
"Sister, my senior brother is here to make amends."
The princess was surprised, "Why did my sister say that?" What sin to atone? β
Fan Ying said, "Jun said, this time Luo Qi City sent 3,000 people to help Xizhou, it must be the princess's meaning," the princess urged her to say quickly, because she didn't want to miss Gao Jun's words.
Fan Ying said, "And the main general sent by Tubo this time, Su Gan Chengji, is a spy of Goryeo, and he is determined to cooperate with Qiuzi and Naluo to make some friction in the west when the Tang Dynasty and Goryeo are at war...... If the princess doesn't believe it, she can ask the prince of Jiangxia if she has the opportunity...... And the Goryeo side also recognized his identity! His Majesty the Tang Dynasty has a special edict to fight the enemy for this purpose. β
"What about Gang Chengji?" The princess asked.
"My senior brother was afraid of hurting the innocent Tibetan soldiers, and it would be difficult to explain to the princess when the time came, so he left his men and horses, ventured deep into the big tent of the Sugan Chengji, and captured him alive...... Only then can the three thousand Tubo brothers return with their whole body. β
The princess pondered deeply, and also believed Fan Ying's words, originally she thought that three thousand people had gone, and everyone had returned, indicating that it was unlikely that there had been any war. There was no war, but the main general was missing, which is really puzzling.
At this time, Fan Ying whispered to her again, "Sister, senior brother has something to bring you!" β
