Chapter 44: Lu Dongzan went to Tang to propose his relatives, Tuyuhun played treacherous tricks again

Harmony is a topic that the Central Plains Dynasty can never grind away during the Han and Tang dynasties. When the national strength is weakened, the harmony not only carries the intention of seeking perfection, but also carries a humiliation and humility. When the national strength is strong, harmony not only carries a symbol of national unity, but also carries a gift and an honor.

Chinese civilization has always been so tolerant, and a cultural gene that has always been relentless and militant has always been precipitated deep in the bloodline. Those who can be resolved peacefully will never be repulsed by force. When he is weak, he draws nourishment from others; When he is strong, he will selflessly convey his own culture and technology.

At this time, Tibet had just settled down, and a weak country needed to keep absorbing nutrients and learning advanced culture and technology to arm itself and enrich itself.

Speaking of before, the three of Songtsen Gampo, Prince Shah and Lu Dongzan, since they separated from Wang Xuance and others, have been attracted by the splendid culture of the Tang Dynasty. Since they learned that the Tang Dynasty destroyed Tuyuhun, defeated the Eastern Turks, drove out the Western Turks, and pacified the 36 countries of the Western Regions, they were also impressed by the powerful national strength of the Tang Dynasty.

They hope that their country can also be as civilized, rich and powerful as the Tang Dynasty, and all countries will come to the court. However, it is attributed to the fact that he is located on a plateau, the land is barren, and the products are not abundant; Therefore, we can only learn more knowledge, more culture, and improve the strength of the country as a whole. Only when the people are rich can the country be strong!

After discussing with Lu Dongzan along the way, the original plan was to send the children of the nobles to Chang'an to learn all the culture of the Tang Dynasty after returning to China. But these days, the two of them not only have to choose the virtuous noble children, but also take into account the balance of power of the various noble tribes, and they are also thinking a lot every day, and they are anxious.

I saw that in this hall, Prince Shah was tinkering with the string of nine-eyed dzi that he had just found, and at the same time looking at the two who were still busy, and said teasingly: "Cousin, why are you bothering so much." In my opinion, it's better to take a princess of the Tang Dynasty back, so don't you have everything?"

Songtsen Gampo sat on the desk, and while sketching out the roster of this selection, he blurted out: "In our wild land, how can this Tang princess come?" Even if we are willing to come, we may not be worthy of it."

"What is worthy of not being worthy, his princess of the Tang Dynasty is also married to someone else, isn't it also married to you, not to mention that we will not humiliate her, we are also kings!"

The Songtsen Gampo paused for a moment, raised his head and glanced at Prince Shah with disdain, and smiled faintly. Shaking his head, he continued his mantle of the selections.

Although this was just a self-mockery between the two people, no one took it to heart; But when the two were ridiculing, this Lu Dongzan put down the pen in his hand and kept thinking about this. Don't look at his height, but this head is very sensitive. After some deliberation, he said to Songtsen Gampo in a serious manner: "I think the prince's idea is advisable."

When this Songtsen Gampo heard this, he was also stunned, and then put down the wolf pen and asked: "Prime minister, tell me what kind of desirable method it is."

But seeing this Lu Dongzan, Lao Cheng gave them a serious analysis and said: "First, we have also seen the strong national strength of the Tang Dynasty, long-distance raids, targeted killings, and sufficient logistics supplies, which shows that the Tang Dynasty is strong, and attacking the Tang Dynasty is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg."

This second: Since we traveled to the border a few days ago, we have learned about the advanced farming civilization of the Tang Dynasty. They get more food not only through technology, but also through advanced agricultural tools, which is worth learning from.

Thirdly, the silk they spun is beautiful, much stronger than our coarse cloth, and my Tibetan people are very much eager to do it!

Fourth: papermaking, iron smelting, carpentry, tea ceremony, etc., these are not what we have, and we should learn and admote.

Therefore, to sum up, it is necessary and desirable to make friends with Datang and learn their culture and technology, and it should be our basic national policy. ”

After hearing this, Songtsen Gampo and Prince Shah both looked at Lu Dongzan with approving eyes and praised him for his good analysis. But I couldn't help asking: "What does this have to do with harmony?" ”

But seeing this, Lu Dongzan asked again: "We all want to learn all of the above, but how can we learn all of them?" ”

The two shook their heads and replied in unison: "I would like to hear what Mr. has to say."

So this Lu Dongzan then said: "Although it is desirable to send the children of nobles to Chang'an to learn the culture and technology of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will not refuse. But just like two families, when you come to my house to learn something, there is no bond in the middle, and I will always hide some of it. If the two families were relatives, the result would be very different.

I heard that the Zhenguan Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is also in his forties, and according to his age, he has the ability to be your father-in-law, if we get a princess of the Tang Dynasty, won't it become the love of Weng and his son-in-law! Ordinary people will become uncommon if they get married; If you marry Datang and have the bond of the princess, this relationship will be more solid and stable. Therefore, if you want to learn all the fines, I also recommend taking a Tang princess back. In short, whether it succeeds or not, you still need to give it a try! ”

Listening to Lu Dongzan's heartfelt words, both of them felt that his analysis was very reasonable. But when he saw this Songtsen Gampo, after thinking for a while, he replied: "In this case, then according to the policy of the state, send an envoy to ask for marriage." But in your opinion, who should be the envoy of this peace? ”

When Lu Dongzan heard this, he was immediately happy, and returned with a smile: "Zambu, do you still need to ask, I think I am suitable!" ”

In a word, the three of them laughed back and forth. Indeed, the fact that the prime minister of a country personally went to propose his relatives not only showed his proper status, but also demonstrated sufficient sincerity. So Songtsen Gampo made a decision on the spot, appointed Lu Dongzan as the envoy of Tubo and his relatives, and went to propose his relatives with a dowry gift.

After some days of detailed preparations, this Lu Dongzan chose Sambuza and Sairu Kundun as his deputies. It not only brings enough gold jewelry plateau specialties, but also with full sincerity; A group of more than 100 people set off looking at Chang'an like this.

I saw this Songtsen Gampo, standing on the city of Luo, looking at their distant figures, and involuntarily sprouted a sense of excitement and joy in my heart. Although he didn't have much hope, he still hoped to marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty and come back. Suddenly, in his mind, the figure of the snow goose inadvertently appeared in front of his eyes......

In the depths of Lu Dongzan's heart, he has always warned himself that he must marry a Tang princess for Zanbu. Although he is not completely sure, his character of not admitting defeat tells him that as long as there is a glimmer of life, he must try; And this is the purpose of choosing Sambuza, who is good at scheming and eloquent.

Sambuza's wisdom, Lu Dongzan's strategy, plus the Tubo warriors of Sairu Gongdun, will they easily marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty? In that direction?

There are a few lines of names and surnames in the history, and there are countless barren hills in the north, where the predecessors sowed seeds and the descendants reaped them, which is nothing more than a dragon and a tiger fight. The words are divided into two ends, and the book is said twice.

If this Tubo wants to take the nearest road to Chang'an, this must pass through Tuyuhun. Just a few days after leaving, the purpose of their trip was clearly understood by Tuyuhun's spies, and they immediately reported it to Murong Fushun, the king of Xiping County of Tuyuhun's Khan of the Tang Dynasty.

When Murong Fushun heard the news, he didn't care at all. However, after such an analysis and explanation by Murong Yuanming, the prime minister of his country, he came to his senses in an instant, as if he had been empowered, and suddenly realized!

This Murong Yuanming was originally a descendant of Beiyan, and he was given the shadow of his ancestors and obtained the position of a small official on the side of Tuyuhun. Because during the battle of Tang and Tuyuhun, it not only provided this Murong Fushun with a safe and happy place to live, but also provided fat cattle and sheep and some strong soldiers; Therefore, since this Murong Fushun was canonized as a khan by Li Shimin, he was promoted step by step to the position of the prime minister of the Tuyuhun state. But seeing this, Murong Yuanming analyzed and explained to him like this:

"We have already learned the strength of the Tang Dynasty and the prosperity of culture. At present, we can only live in harmony with them, and as long as the national body is still there, there will be the vitality of Tuyuhun rising again. Although we have submitted to the Tang Dynasty, this relationship is loose and not close, and we often have to act according to their faces.

If Tubo and Datang have this love for their son-in-law, the relationship between them will naturally go further, and at that time, we Tuguhun will be sandwiched between them, and the situation will be even more dangerous. Therefore, Weichen suggested that we should also bring enough dowry gifts and go to Datang to propose. As long as we marry a princess, our situation will not only be much better, but also the relationship with Datang will be more harmonious, and our chances of rising again will also increase. ”

In this way, Murong Fushun thought about it, this is right! Who doesn't want to take a daughter-in-law, let alone a matter of killing multiple birds with one stone, so he was completely persuaded by this old man. Not only let it be arranged as soon as possible, but also be the first to rush to Chang'an in front of Tubo, show enough sincerity, and be the first to propose to the Tang Dynasty. Of course, in order to slow down the speed of Lu Dongzan and the others, Murong Fushun also explained by the way that he could use some other unconventional means.

As for this pro-proposing envoy, Murong Yuanming first recommended his younger brother Murong Yuanwen. This person has studied in the Tang Dynasty for many years, and is quite familiar with the government and culture of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, this time, Murong Yuanming felt that it was quite appropriate to have him go.

After summoning Murong Yuanwen to meet and explain everything, Murong Fushun repaired two more letters at the same time, and asked him to bring them to Li Daozong and Li Jingheng respectively, asking them to coordinate more. A few days later, this Murong Yuanwen was ready to go to Chang'an with a rich dowry......

Then, I saw that in this Murong Yuanming's Prime Minister's Mansion, several black-clothed people were standing energetically, and the leader was Hei Canglong, the leader who assassinated Wang Xuance last time.

"I invite you to come for one purpose, to disguise yourself as a ringing horse, to harass the Tibetan peace team, and delay their advance. But remember, first, don't kill their people, and second, don't rob their belongings. ”

When this black dragon heard Murong Yuanming say this, he thought: What is this? casually replied: "Prime Minister, you said that you want us to fight and kill, it's okay, this is neither allowed to kill nor rob, it's too embarrassing."

Murong Yuan said solemnly: "This is the Khan's order, the purpose of this time is to prevent them from arriving in Chang'an at a later date, if they are killed, it will definitely cause a confrontation between the two countries, and if they are traced, it will not only be unfavorable to the Khan, but also make Tuyuhun unlucky." ”

These black-clothed men are the dead soldiers raised by Tuyuhun, and because they have always been mysterious, they have never revealed any news. Hearing him say this, these men in black, under the leadership of the leader Black Canglong, urgently prepared to go.

The forces of the countries in the Western Regions are not only criss-crossed, but also the secret agents are quite compact. When Fushun Khan explained all the problems to Murong Yuanwen, he saw a young attendant next to him, his eyes kept turning, listening to their conversation. This person has been serving Murong Fushun for many years, but unfortunately, in the early years, for various reasons, he had already been bought by the Qiuzi people. So, within a few days, the news immediately spread to the court of the Guizi royal court in Ilolu City.

History, often many times, is composed of small people; Although a small person can't affect himself, one of his actions can sometimes affect the whole development of the situation.

This country of Qiuci is located on the west side of the Hexi Corridor, close to the Yumen Pass, because it is a small country; Therefore, in the eighth year of Zhenguan, when the Tang Dynasty destroyed Tuguhun, he had been shocked by the force of the Tang Dynasty and sent envoys to repair it. To this day, the relationship between Tang and the turtle is quite harmonious!

At this time, the king of Qiuzi, Bai Suvadie, had been peaceful for many years, but it seemed relaxed and natural. At this moment, he was fishing with a group of beautiful women in a boat on the shore of a small lake dug by hand.

Looking at this garden from afar, I saw that this artificial rockery was finely carved one by one, standing beautifully by the lake. Not only does the green shade reflect the water surface just like jasper; Moreover, the blooming flowers are dotted among the rockeries and the soil, which is even more beautiful and meticulous like Jiangnan. With bursts of laughter, it not only gives this place infinite popularity, but also reflects this prosperous and exquisite extravagance.

Although this King of Qiuzi has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he also has several prestige among the many small countries in the Western Regions, and in order to listen to the news of various countries for the first time, he has also made great efforts to install many secret agents in the royal cities of various countries. Therefore, as soon as there is a stir in the countries of the Western Regions, he will immediately understand here!

When he received this news, he saw that the left leaf protector of the Guizi country hurriedly walked over. Seeing that the king was fishing with a beautiful woman, he suddenly stopped, not knowing whether he should disturb at this time. But after thinking about it suddenly, he still stepped forward, knelt down and said: "King, Weichen has something important to play."

This King of Guizi was busy with hee-hee, and he didn't notice the arrival of Zuo Yehu, but a few beauties saw it, and when they saw that the king didn't react, they squinted at him, and still talked and laughed with the king, hugging and hugging. When this Zuo Yehu saw this situation, he was angry, so he pretended to be bold again, raised his voice and said: "King Qiyu, Weichen has something important to play."

This sentence finally made Bai Suhua, the king of Qiuzi, listen to it really. Looking back at Zuo Ye Hu, with a wave of his big hand, the joy gradually stopped: "It's Zuo Ye Hu, is there something wrong?" ”

Although the sound of joy gradually stopped, he still hugged the beauties left and right, and the beauties also gently agreed to this king of turtles. This Bai Suva is now in his thirties, and has been on the throne for more than ten years. was originally in the prime of life, but because of the constant closeness to beauties, my body has gradually felt a little tired over the years! Although he likes beauty, he still has his own unique way of dealing with government affairs.

No, Zuo Ye Hu raised his head and looked at the king, and then looked at the beauties on the left and right. The king of the turtles also seemed to understand, so he said to the beauties: "You go down first, I will discuss some things with Zuo Yehu." ”

With reluctance, these beauties kissed Bai Suhua's cheeks in turn, and then left with endless emotion; And this Bai Su Va is a farewell one by one with affection.

Zuo Yehu, who watched this scene, was speechless. He is also an old minister, assisting two generations of kings, and has admonished him many times to keep him away from beauty, but this king is not moved at all. Although every admonition has a beginning and an end, fortunately, the king has always respected him, and this has made him feel a lot more at ease!

Seeing that these beauties were gone, Bai Su Vadi asked quite formally: "I don't know what Zuo Yehu has to tell you about this time......
