Good and evil are only between one thought, and wisdom and strategy are only one piece of paper; No matter what difficulties and obstacles are encountered, a wise person can always come up with many solutions; The great evil people will also use a thousand kinds of efforts. Bad people are bad people after all, and sometimes it's hard to get better; And although a good person is a good person, it is easy to become bad. This sociology is difficult to be a good person!

Zuo Yehu, the envoy of the Guizi country, rushed all the way to this Yumen Pass, exchanged official documents, and explained the intention, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, looking at Chang'an. He only hoped that things would be done properly as soon as possible, so as to increase his political resources for the position of prime minister, so he still urged these people again and again to rush to Chang'an.

Then again, this is the fifth day that Lu Dongzan and the others have come to this Tuyuhun King City. In the face of each "closed door", they have more or less understood the general situation of the matter. So, Lu Dongzan and Sambuza came to the prime minister's mansion again and bid farewell to Murong Yuanming. However, Menzi's reply is still as interesting as before: either to deal with public cases, or to inspect a certain place, polite, modest and modest; I just asked when I would come back, but I didn't know what to ask!

Faced with such a dilemma, the two of them pondered that they would go to the palace again and meet this Fushun Khan. But after coming to this palace, he was still shirked by the guards on the grounds that the khan was busy with official business!

With a sense of disappointment, the two returned to the inn. In total, since the benevolence and righteousness have been exhausted, there can be no longer delay, so he left a letter and prepared to leave this place as soon as possible with a large group of people. When this post man saw that they were forced to leave, although he tried to keep it, he could only stare dryly without the instructions of the upper peak.

After seeing them off, Yi Cheng immediately took the letter left by Lu Dongzan and hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Seeing that the minister of state was indeed not there, he hurried towards the palace. At this moment, this Fushun Khan is discussing the affairs of the mission with Murong Yuanming, and after all, it has been a long time, and it stands to reason that he should have reached the border of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, I saw Yi Cheng coming in a hurry, ignoring the dust on his face, and then knelt down and said: "This Lu Dongzan is leaving with people, and he can't stop it." So saying, he presented the letter.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and under Murong Fushun's signal, Murong Yuanming immediately took the letter and opened it to read: "Brother Yuanming is healthy, Brother Dongzan respectfully, thank you for your hospitality recently, but because the king's order cannot be violated, he just wants to complete the mission and return to Tibet as soon as possible, so the younger brother is deeply frightened and ashamed that he cannot successfully complete the task assigned by Zanbu; However, I have never seen my brother when I went to resign many times, so I can only compare without resigning, looking at Haihan, and kowtowing to the Khan."

Murong Fushun hurriedly asked, "How long have they been gone?"

"About an hour"

This Murong Yuanming thought about it for a while, so he had another plan. Immediately after muttering a few words in the ear of Fushun Khan, this Murong Fushun was also overjoyed. So, I saw that this Murong Yuanming personally raised more than 200 soldiers, and a cronie was in charge of the general, and led them to chase Lu Dongzan.

Murong Yuan quickly took a group of people out of the city, just to catch up with this Lu Dongzan who said goodbye. And this Lu Dongzan is in a hurry to run to Chang'an, and this trip out of the city is also non-stop. So on this Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, a team of people is advancing rapidly, and a team of people and horses are chasing quickly.

After this short half a day, he hurried and hurried, looking at the people who were about to catch up with Lu Dongzan and his party, Murong Yuanming immediately shouted loudly: "Brother Xian go slowly, Brother Xian go slowly."

Listen to the call from behind, and then look at the dust that rises up. Sambuza and Sairugunton said to themselves, "What is the situation, why is this old fellow here again?"

Lu Dongzan smiled at the two of them, but did not say anything. Although he didn't know what this Murong Yuanming was going to do, he knew that he shouldn't have too much malice, so he didn't let everyone be too vigilant, and just signaled everyone to stop for the time being.

It didn't take long for Murong Yuanming to rush to them, and looking at him panting, Lu Dongzan immediately asked, "I don't know what the Prime Minister is doing?" ”

Murong Yuanming came back to his senses, and after taking a breath, he returned: "Brother Xian, if you leave, don't say hello, so that I and I can practice for you, let me chase this way, and my life is almost gone!"

"I also look at the Minister of State Haihan, this is all a last resort, I have been to your mansion a few times, but I have never seen the Minister of State; But I only want to complete the important task entrusted by Zambu as soon as possible, so I can only do this, this is all my fault! After Lu Dongzan finished speaking, he took a long look.

The two talked about it again, but they were all flattering. When Lu Dongzan repeatedly resigned, he only heard this Murong Yuanming immediately order his subordinates: "The wine is here."

A small school then brought over a jar of mare's milk wine. Murong Yuanming personally poured three bowls of wine, this Lu Dongzan saw that Murong Yuanming was so sincere, it was really difficult to shirk it, so he could only drink these three bowls of mare's milk wine.

After drinking this wine, he heard Murong Yuanming say sincerely: "Brother Xian has a long way to go, although this Tangbo Ancient Road has been opened for a long time, but there are robbers from time to time, so as a brother, I am also very uneasy, there are two hundred soldiers, follow Brother Xian all the way back, and protect your safety in my Tuyuhun territory." ”

When Lu Dongzan heard this, he was originally going to resign, but after thinking about it, instead of letting them secretly play the horizontal cannon to make the slash, it was better to follow it like this. Although this Sambuza and Sai Ru Kun Dun made this color vigorously, prompting him to refuse sternly. But Lu Dongzan still promised: "That is the case, thank you for the good intentions of the country"

Murong Yuanming never expected that this Lu Dongzan would accept it without prevarication. A feeling of joy and contempt surged into my heart at the same time, and I thought: Boy, with your resourcefulness, you still want to go to Datang to propose, I think it's better not to dream. Although he was very happy, he still pretended to be kind and said goodbye: "Brother Xian, I don't know when I will see you again, I must be more careful along the way!" ”

"When I come back from the Tang Dynasty, I will definitely come to visit again, and then I will bother with a few glasses of wine to eat, as long as the minister of the country doesn't bother Dongzan!"

When Murong Yuanming heard this, he laughed and said, "Okay, good, this is all trivial!" ”

Between the words, he took Lu Dongzan's hand and did something else. And so they were divided.

Murong Yuanming took a group of attendants to look at their distant figures in the cold autumn wind, and said to himself: If you still eat and drink, it's up to you, as long as you are in this mood, I will take care of it! I couldn't help but feel a little relaxed in my heart.

These 200 soldiers followed Lu Dongzan and others all the way to the east. There are more than 300 people in total, and it is very powerful. Indeed, when some robbers along the road saw these huge processions, they did not dare to make a mistake at all.

Although it did deter the bandits, the past few days have made Lu Dongzan and them very depressed. The reason is that it is these 200 soldiers who seriously hinder the speed of going to Chang'an.

It turned out that this Murong Yuanming had already instructed the henchmen of this leader. In the process of escorting Lu Dongzan and the others, spies should be sent to find out whether the road ahead is safe or not, and then set off. As soon as they arrived at the next city, they told the local officials in advance that they were staying here with good food and drink, and there was only one purpose for slowing them down.

But all this was expected by Lu Dongzan. Even so, after all, people are also for the safety of this line, and they have done their best to be a landlord, and it is really difficult for people to grasp it for a while.

On this day, Sambuza also discovered the problem of slow travel, so he prepared to discuss it with Lu Dongzan. But as soon as the two of them got together, a Tuyuhun soldier happened to come up. Lu Dongzan's mind flashed, and he had a plan. Immediately, on the grounds of eavesdropping, he scolded the soldier angrily.

This soldier was also confused, and his face was confused, but because of his identity, he still apologized to Lu Dongzan again and again. The general walked over without knowing why, and looked at Lu Dongzan's great anger, and hurriedly comforted: "Please calm the anger of the minister of the country, stop the anger!" ”

When this Lu Dongzan heard this anger, he immediately became even more annoyed: "You are on the orders of Prime Minister Murong to protect us; But if we say a word, we will still be watched by you, can I calm my anger? So it was another random scolding.

As soon as he heard this, he finally figured out what was going on. Although he never had such an order, he was also a minister of state, so he also scolded this soldier. The soldier was inexplicable, and lowered his head aggrieved.

In order to alleviate the matter, the general hurriedly smiled and apologized, and praised Lu Dong for his crimes: "This is because they misunderstood the meaning of the national minister, and it is not like what the national minister said, our group of people all listen to the national minister?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Lu Dongzan became energetic: "Okay, you all listen to me, right?"

This general hurriedly said: "Yes, I listen to you, this is what Prime Minister Murong Guo explained when he left." ”

"Since you all listen to me, let's go, we have to hurry as soon as possible." Lu Dongzan said sharply to this partial general.

As soon as the general heard this, he immediately found a bunch of reasons and excuses.

Lu Dongzan then sneered again: "What's the matter, my words don't work."

But seeing that at this time, Sai Ru Gongdun, who had already come up, waited for the tiger to have big eyes and looked at this partial general angrily. In an instant, the aura of this partial general was suppressed again. He could only reluctantly return: "Okay, okay, then let's go, everything is up to you."

As a result, this Lu Dongzan and Sambuza did not give them a good face, and then took the Tibetan delegation and went on a business route with a sense of joy. The 200 Tuyuhun soldiers could only follow helplessly......

The words are divided into two ends, saying that although the Tubo people rushed to Chang'an for a long time, this Murong Yuanwen rushed to Chang'an with great speed. Just when Lu Dongzan and the others had not yet stepped out of the Tuyuhun border, he had already arrived in Chang'an.

The first thing I did when I rushed to Chang'an was not to go to the Honglu Temple Pawn Office to verify my identity, but to meet a little person---- Li Jingheng. As mentioned above, although this Li Jingheng is a small person, his father, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, is a big person in charge of all things in the southwest. Because over the years, Li Jingheng has been silently helping Tuyuhun, so he has also won the trust of Fushun Khan. As soon as this Murong Yuanwen arrived in Chang'an, the two of them met secretly in the teahouse

Today's Li Jinglongtou wears a small felt hat, wears a green cloud robe, is lofty, polite, and has a literati atmosphere. This Murong Yuanwen is dressed in fur and a snow fox hat, and he also looks quite Western style. As soon as the two met, after greeting each other in three autumns, they got to the point.

Seeing this Murong Yuanwen, he immediately knelt down, pretending to be deep and pitiful: "Minggong, save us Tuguhun" His words and deeds made Li Jingheng confused for a while, so he asked in surprise: "What is this doing, sir, hurry up and reply!" Hurriedly stretched out his hand and helped up Murong Yuanwen, who was kneeling.

After getting up, Murong Yuanwen frowned slightly, and returned: "Songtsan Gampo, the lord of Tubo, in order to establish a solid foundation for the country, I want to propose marriage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and pray to marry a princess as the queen." The heart of this Tubo tiger and wolf is not dead, and there is a tendency to destroy my Tuguhun from time to time, if I have this son-in-law with the Tang Dynasty, I Tuyuhun is sandwiched between the two countries, not far from the country of death? Therefore, I hope that the famous prince will find more ways to help me Tuyuhun marry a princess as a queen! After that, it was a long stroke.

"This kind of military affairs, although I am a member of the royal family, I can't make the decision, we have to study carefully." Li Jingheng thought about returning. However, when he thought about it, he was immediately happy, and suddenly laughed!

When Murong Yuanwen saw this scene, he was also stunned: "Why is the unknown public laughing? ”

Li Jingheng came back to his senses, took a sip of tea, and then returned: "You all come to ask for marriage, but where will there be a princess to marry you?" ”

This Murong Yuanwen was confused by Li Jingheng's scene: "Why is this? ”

"He who should be married has already been married, he who has a marriage contract has a marriage contract, and he who has not been married is now only ten years old, how can this marry your Khan. So, don't even think about it. Li Jingheng said proudly.

Hearing this, although Murong Yuanwen's heart suddenly cooled down, his heart also seemed to be a little balanced, after all, there was no difference.

After some greetings, at the time of separation, Li Jingheng immediately said to him a thoughtful word: "Since you already know, relax a little, don't be so nervous, with me and the prince in this town, no one dares to do anything to you." You just have to keep your spirits up, and when you meet Your Majesty, you will be kind and relaxed."

Although Li Jingheng's words were quite reasonable, this Murong Yuanwen always felt that things were not so simple. Since the khan let him come to propose, naturally he still has to think about the court's intentions? So after the separation, I went to the Honglu Temple Visitor Office to report.

A few days later, one morning, it was the day of the court meeting, and the officials above the fifth rank in Beijing were waiting outside the gate of this palace early as usual. This Murong Yuanwen also handed over the credentials in accordance with the charter, asking to see the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

I saw this majestic Daxing Palace, red bricks and yellow tiles, and a large hall stood on the high three steps, which is the Taiji Hall where today's court will meet. After this Chengtian Gate to this Taiji Palace, a group of Yu Linlang are lined up on both sides, the small yellow door is also standing around, the bluestone paved road is washed by clear water, it looks very clean.

Listening to the sound of the three-life whip, a group of officials, under the leadership of Xiao Huangmen, walked into this Taiji Hall in two columns, civil and military, and stood on both sides according to the official rank and title. At this time, I only heard another little yellow door singing loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived" All the officials knelt down and shouted long live. After Li Shimin sat down, he flattened, and all the officials also sat on the futon in turn according to their ranks.

Looking from a distance, today's Li Shimin not only looks more slender, but also has a very good complexion. Wearing a golden crown with a bright yellow Luo Shengmian face, feet on the green satin cool soap boots, the bright yellow brocade robe is covered with a stone Qingjiang silk and gold dragon coat, a belt with gold inlaid beads and three tiles around the waist is exposed on the outside of the dragon coat, a sheep's horn mustache, which looks radiant and neat.

With the beginning of the court meeting, I saw an inner servant hurriedly and slowly trotting up, and knelt down in the middle of the Taiji Hall and said: "Murong Yuanwen, the envoy of Tuyuhun, asks to see His Majesty the Emperor outside the palace." ”

Because he had received the report a few days ago, it was not too surprising, so when the inner servant reported it, Li Shimin said "pass"
