Chapter 49: Chen Li plots to marry Snow Goose, Shimin Dynasty meets with envoys (II)
It turned out that this Lu Dongzan had been scolding the escort sergeant since he had done so. As long as there is a delay in this part, he keeps calling them, sometimes letting them go here to investigate, and sometimes letting them go there to check, although this is nothing, but it is not a light toss for them. No, in a few days, under the leadership of the general, these 200 soldiers have been obedient and honest, and they don't dare to make too many mistakes.
Since passing through Minzhou and arriving in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the group quickly looked at Chang'an City. Although the left Yehu of this Qiuzi country was also in a hurry, the envoys of the two countries inadvertently encountered it when they were about to arrive in Chang'an. What I didn't expect was that when I arrived in Chang'an City, the envoys of the two countries were still excited. There is only one purpose, that is, I must report to this Honglu Temple before you; So you chased after me, causing chickens and dogs to jump all the way in Chang'an City. But fortunately, it didn't cause any big trouble, and Chang'an Wei didn't punish him severely.
After discussing with the three of them, Li Shimin immediately decided to summon the envoys of these two countries at a great court meeting three days later. In addition, the envoys of Khotan, Fusang, Tuyuhun and other countries were all in Beijing, so they issued an edict and specially allowed them to participate in this grand court meeting.
The surging civilization of China, which has lasted for thousands of years, thousands of years of wisdom, thousands of years of strategy, has accumulated a long-term strength, and it always blooms in an instant. You are the rose of thousands of years, just to leave a glorious page in the precipitation of history. At this moment, you can give up all your family affection and love, only for the country you love, and only for the feelings of your family and country. Your own bright light will also be fully opened on this day......
I saw that on this day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, the morning sun had just risen, and the warm sun of the beginning reflected the colorful clouds on the horizon, dotted in the slightly clear sky, which was particularly beautiful. Looking at this Tai Chi Hall from a distance, the windows that have long been cleaned up by the small yellow doors are bright and spotless. The morning sun passes through the roof of the Taiji Palace, and it is even more radiant to the entire Daxing Palace.
Many Yu Linlang wore shiny armor and peacock feathers, climbed Lingyun boots, held the imperial Yue, stood mightily on both sides of the road, along the bluestone road, bypassing the dragon-shaped steps, with the sound of three whips, all the officials above the ninth grade in the capital according to the level of the title, small steps quickly stepped into the threshold of the hall. Find your position and stand next to the futon.
The sandalwood incense smoked from several Boshan furnaces has already filled the hall with an elegant atmosphere. I saw that behind the golden five-grasping dragon pillar, there was a yellow pear imperial case, and after the imperial case, a rosewood dragon chair carved with a five-grasping golden dragon was placed. A golden futon on top of the dragon chair was quietly waiting for its owner to arrive.
With a small yellow door, with a slightly feminine accent, he shouted generously and powerfully: "Your Majesty has arrived!" All the ministers knelt down in this hall.
Then, this Li Shimin paced this square step, sat on the dragon chair, waited for them to make a big salute, and then said: "Zhongqing is flat, sit in peace"
After thanking the emperor, all the ministers sat down on the futon. I saw that today's Li Shimin was wearing a yellow robe with five golden dragons, a golden gilded crown, and a jade belt woven with Hetian white jade in his waist, looking not only radiant, but also full of spirit.
Looking at this great country weather, Li Shimin immediately said: "Today, exactly fifteenth, it coincides with the arrival of envoys from many countries in Chang'an, today in front of the civil and military secretaries, let's all come to discuss this foreign state affairs, all the Aiqing can speak freely and show my Tang style!" ”
With a sound: "only" the court meeting began like this.
Under Li Shimin's instructions, I saw a servant singing: "Xuan, the envoy of the Tubo State, Lu Dongzan, the prince of Khotan, Chi Fu Yanxin, the envoy of the Qiuzi State, Zuo Yehu, the envoy of the Fusang State, Dongtian Xia Li, and the Tuyuhun envoy Murong Yuanwen will meet you!" ”
With the singing, the envoys walked into this Taiji Hall in turn according to the order of singing. Not only feel the majesty of the Tang Palace, but also feel the simplicity and elegance of this luxury.
Although I feel that this Daxing Palace is not only beautiful, but also magnificent; But after all, the court meeting is a court meeting, and they don't dare to take such a closer look. After hearing Lu Dongzan come in, he said as usual: "Lu Dongzan, the envoy of the Tubo State, was sent by the lord of the country, Songtsan Gampo, to see His Majesty the Heavenly Khan of the Tang Dynasty, and prayed for His Majesty to live a long life", and he made a great etiquette as he spoke.
Immediately afterwards, the envoys of various countries finished saluting in turn according to this etiquette. Hand over the credentials. As Li Shimin beckoned, a small yellow door hurriedly greeted him, took the letters of various countries, and presented them to Huang Huali's imperial case.
Li Shimin replied: "Take me Datang too, say hello to all the lords of the country, I Datang welcome you."
Seeing Li Shimin's kindness, Lu Dongzan did not go around, and went straight to the point: "Although my Tubo country is located in a remote area, but I have admired the Tang culture for a long time, and now I Songtsan Gampo is in the prime of life, but I lack a queen to help deal with national affairs, and I beg Your Majesty to let us marry a princess, so that the Tang Tubo can marry to marry a son-in-law, and cultivate a hundred years of good between the two countries." ”
As soon as Lu Dongzan's words fell, the Zuo Yehu of this Qiuzi country did not wait for Li Shimin's reply, so he hurriedly preemptively said: "My Qiuzi country, although it is located in the border of the Western Regions, has abundant water and grass, abundant products, and sufficient soldiers and food. I am also willing to guard the gate to the Western Regions for His Majesty the Tang Dynasty Khan, my lord is also in the prime of life, and he is willing to marry a princess. ”
This is really something to say, to put it bluntly, between the words of Zuo Ye Hu, on the one hand, through the gate of the Western Regions, the soldiers and the grain are enough to knock on the Tang Dynasty; On the other hand, he gave the Tang Dynasty monarch a date by guarding and honoring the state.
If you don't agree to the matter of harmony, it is possible that your Guizi Kingdom will not guard the gate of the Western Regions, and there will be a lot of discussion in the court.
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but feel disgusted, because he deeply understood that the peace of the Western Regions was brought down by the concerted efforts of the monarchs and ministers through force and faith over the years, and it was coerced by you. Destroying your Guizi Kingdom is also a matter of turning over your hands, so I glared at him with contempt.
Contempt is contempt, but he also understands that this is the matter of harmony in today's court meeting. So he didn't want to break the matter for the time being, so he nodded and agreed with the peace opinion of the envoys of the two countries.
Seeing Li Shimin nodding and agreeing to this matter of harmony, Murong Yuanwen immediately came to see him and said: "Your Majesty, I Tuyuhun is the first to propose marriage to you, besides, I Tuyuhun has been obedient to the Tang Dynasty for many years, although Your Majesty has no women of the right age to marry, but I also hope that Your Majesty will not favor one over the other, which makes me feel cold!" ”
Since Zuo Yehu's words just now had already made the ministers talk about it, he just looked at Li Shimin nodding in agreement, so the ministers were not angry for the time being. I never thought that this would encounter such an impudent prickly head. Suddenly, the atmosphere above the main hall instantly became tense again.
The domineering spirit of a great country is like this, but I saw a military general in a blue soap suit, with a mighty expression, and loudly reprimanded loudly: "Bold, dare to speak to my majesty so rudely." ”
This person is none other than Cheng Zhijiecheng, who is powerful and majestic, relying on the three-plate axe to shock the world. With this reprimand, many officials in the court immediately followed suit, and the meaning between the words was to kill Murong Yuanwen.
In the face of such a chaotic situation, how should Li Shimin deal with it, please see the next time: On state affairs in the Taiji Palace, Xue Yan chose to marry the Western Regions.
