Chapter 417: The Envoy Is Fake

Wu Yuanqing, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, pulled Erya and stood on the side of the road, and in front of him were four guards such as Wang Chao, who was on guard with a knife.

Soon, the people who came to the front of me, and they could clearly see their appearance and clothing, all of them had purple red faces, and obvious plateau red features. They are not tall, but they are all big-shouldered and round-waisted, and of course this may have something to do with the clothes they wear.

It was obviously the middle of summer and June, but they were all dressed very thick, anyway, much thicker than Wu Yuanqing. There were a lot of people, more than a hundred people, in addition to those who rode horses, there were seven or eight carriages, whether it was people or horses, they were hot enough, sweating all over, and the horses were oily and slippery, all soaked in sweat.

Wu Yuanqing, who was standing on the side of the road in a fancy costume and was looking at him with a curious look, attracted the attention of these people.

After an unknown shout, these people stopped in front of Wu Yuanqing, and then a well-dressed person, with a beard on his face, who looked very high, turned his horse and left the team, and slowly came to a stop a few steps away from Wu Yuanqing.

"Excuse me, young man, how far is it from here to Chang'an?" This person's words are quite authentic and polite.

But Wu Yuanqing raised his eyes and glanced at him, but he didn't answer.

"Young man, I'm talking to you, don't you hear?" The man said in an accentuated tone.

"Hehe" Wu Yuanqing grinned without smiling.

"Presumptuous, my family is asking you, what kind of attitude do you have, is this the etiquette of your Tang Dynasty?" This man didn't say anything with an unhappy face, but his subordinates angrily scolded Wu Yuanqing.

"When he asks me, am I going to answer? Besides, is this your attitude of asking for directions? Do you teach you etiquette that you don't even get off your horse when you ask for help?" Wu Yuanqing raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically.

"What kind of identity do you dare to ask us adults to dismount and talk to you?" This man brandished a horsewhip and shouted.

"Yo, what is your identity, you dare to be so presumptuous when you come to my Datang." Wu Yuanqing sneered.

"We are the envoys of Tubo, and we are sent to the Tang Dynasty on the order of Zanpu, and this is our prime minister" This subordinate is very fast-mouthed, and he reported out of the house with high spirits.

It turned out to be a Tibetan envoy? This was somewhat unexpected by Wu Yuanqing, he had always thought that these people were Tuyuhun people.

Tuyuhun's territory is on the Qinghai Plateau, overlooking the road from the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions, Liangzhou, Yumen Pass, and Yizhou are all within their threat range.

This also leads to the fact that whether it is a merchant or a common people along the line, the local state capital will often deal with the Tuyuhun people.

Therefore, the contact between the Tang Dynasty and Tuyuhun was very frequent, and Tuyuhun often had time to come and go, and after killing the Turks, there were envoys from Tuyuhun in the tribal state that came to congratulate Li Shimin as the Khan of Tian.

It's not strange to meet the Tuyuhun people, and it's not strange to meet the envoys, but it's very fresh to meet the Tubo envoys. Tubo has been fighting in the past two years, and Songtsen Gampo is quelling the rebellion, so there have been a lot fewer businessmen coming and going to the Tang Dynasty in the past two years, not to mention the envoy group, Wu Yuanqing remembers correctly, at least after Li Shimin registered, Zhenguan has not had an envoy to the Tang Dynasty in Tubo in recent years, and it is estimated that it is enough to choke during the Wude years.

"Are you Lu Dongzan?" Wu Yuanqing looked at the middle-aged man who was called Daxiang who asked him before.

The man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "My name is Mangbujie Shangnang, not Lu Dongzan as you said, and I don't know any Lu Dongzan."

"Eh" Wu Yuanqing was also stunned, what is the situation, this person is the prime minister of Tubo, but he is not Lu Dongzan, and he doesn't even know Lu Dongzan.

How is it possible, the most familiar Tibetan celebrity in later generations, or the Tibetan celebrity in addition to Songtsen Gampo, is this Lu Dongzan, and even more well-known than Songtsan Gampo, Lu Dongzan's envoy to the Tang Dynasty.

And this matter should be a few years later, which means that Lu Dongzan's status is not low at least at this time, even if he is not a big minister, no one should have heard of his name.

Could it be that I met a fake Tibetan envoy? Wu Yuanqing looked at these people who claimed to be Tibetan envoys suspiciously.

"Are you really Tibetan envoys?" Wu Yuanqing confirmed.

"Of course, is this still fake? If you don't believe it, we have a credential to prove it." It was the person who reported the door before rushing to say.

Once, twice, it was this person who rushed to speak, and the minister named Shang Nang didn't express any dissatisfaction with this, it seems that this person should not have a low status in the team, otherwise his Guanzhong dialect would not be so good, not a deputy envoy, it should also be a translator or something.

"There's no need to talk about the national letter or anything, I haven't seen your Tibetan national letter, you can show it to me, and I can't see the authenticity. I know that there is a person named Lu Dongzan in Tubo who is very capable and capable, and he should be a big official in Tubo. But you said I hadn't heard of this person, and I had to doubt your identity." Wu Yuanqing shrugged and said.

"Young man, I can see that your family background is good, and you should have a good status in Datang, but I don't need to prove anything to you, but I still have to tell you again, I am indeed the minister of Tibet, and I am indeed an envoy, and I have not heard of Lu Dongzan you said. Where did you get that name, you might as well ask someone if you or the person who told you the name was mistaken." The middle-aged man's attitude is okay, and he is not annoyed when he is questioned, and he explains in a flat tone.

Wu Yuanqing didn't think about it angrily, who to ask? I want to ask if I can wear it back, but if I can wear it early, I will wear it back.

was questioned by Wu Yuanqing, and these Tubo people who didn't know the truth or falsehood had no intention of asking for directions.

"Let's go, we should be in Chang'an soon." Seeing that Wu Yuanqing didn't speak, the middle-aged man Shang Nang ordered.

"Hey, wait." Wu Yuanqing hurriedly spoke out to stop it.

"Anything else?" The middle-aged man asked.

"You haven't heard of Lu Dongzan, have you ever heard of something like Lu, or what Dongzan is, or do you know it?" Wu Yuanqing asked without giving up.

He planned that if these people were going to say no, he would say nothing and let them go. Then he hurried back and sent someone to contact Li Chengqian to take down these people in Chang'an.

Fortunately, after he finished asking this sentence, the middle-aged man was stunned, and then quickly replied, "Are you asking about Gar Dongzan?"

Gar Donzan?

Wu Yuanqing touched his chin and thought, this name is somewhat reliable, except for the different surnames, the names are the same, they are all called Dongzan.

"Who is this Gar Donzan?" Wu Yuanqing asked again.

"Gar Dongzan is a Tibetan nobleman in my family, and his family has a large fief, and he is now the minister of Tibet. Okay, young man, we still have to hurry to Chang'an, please get out of the way." A lot of time has been wasted, and the middle-aged man is also a little impatient.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yuanqing asked this question again: "Are you really Tubo envoys?"
