Chapter 747: Plotting Lu Dongzan (1)

Lu Dongzan was brought to Songtsen Gampo.

"Ahh It's Dongzan coming! ”

"Slaves, see His Majesty Zampu."

"Hurry up, please! You and my brother, why be polite! Dongzan, I heard that Li Tang's envoy had arrived, what did he say? Lu Dongzan hesitated slightly.

"Zamp, yes! ......" Songtsen Gampo looked at Lu Dongzan.

"What's going on?! Dongzan, you speak! You are my close minister, when did you become timid!? ”

"Zamp! According to the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, Li Tang did not agree to marry last time! It's because we didn't show enough sincerity......"

"Oh!" After listening to Lu Dongzan's words, Songtsen Gampo smiled:

"Humph! At the beginning, I thought that our Tubo was a small state in the Western Regions! How is it now? I marched into Tuguhun and attacked the border again! Now, they're finally enlightened! Ha ha! Songtsen Gampo laughed wildly. Lu Dongzan stood beside him.

"Your Majesty Zampu!"

"Hmmm! What else? Songtsen Gampo realized that Lu Dongzan still had something to say.

"Your Majesty! Li Tang also proposed that he hoped that we would send important ministers to Chang'an to ask for relatives! Even directly proposed, asking me to go in person, Da Zampu, you see!? ……”

"Hahahaha! Dongzan, it seems that your prestige has spread to the Central Plains, which is a good thing! It's just that Li Tang has to take care of his face, and it's not a bad thing! This request is also reasonable! ”

"Great Zamp! You've boasted! Hearing Songtsen Gampo praise himself like this, Lu Dongzan immediately bowed his head and saluted. Songtsen Gampo patted Lu Dongzan on the shoulder and said:

"Dongzan, actually, even if Li Tang didn't propose to let you be the greeting envoy this time, Ben Zampu would have sent you there! I want to think that when Dongzan and Tunmi Sambuza went to Nibra together, they proposed peace to King Guangzhou, hoping that King Guangzhou would marry Princess Brikuti (Princess Chizun) to Ben Zampu as a concubine. If it weren't for the fact that you had gone through three verbal battles, fought wits in a roundabout way, and threatened each other with troops, how could King Guangxuan marry Princess Chizun to Ben Zampu. Dongzan, this time, Ben Zampu still named you as the main envoy to welcome your relatives, and Tunmi Sambuza and Zhi Seruguntun as deputies, because only if you are there, Ben Zampu can sit back and relax! Lu Dongzan immediately bowed his head and saluted:

"Please rest assured! The slave must help Da Zampu marry Princess Li Tang! Songtsen Gampo nodded. On the way to Chang'an with Li Tang's envoy Feng Deyao, Lu Dongzan looked back at the Potala Palace behind him, getting farther and farther away, smaller and smaller, and Lu Dongzan felt that he would never return to this place. Lu Dongzan felt a faint pain in his heart. After dozens of days of traveling, Lu Dongzan and Feng Deyao finally came to Chang'an. Seeing the majestic Chang'an City and the bustling market, Lu Dongzan felt the wealth and dense population of the Central Plains.

"Your Excellency, please go to the pavilion to rest first. The lower official will enter the palace to report. ”

"Thank you for accompanying each other all the way! Adult please! When Li Jiancheng knew that Lu Dongzan had come to Chang'an, he ordered Yousi to receive Lu Dongzan well. When Feng Deyao left, Li Jiancheng met with another person.

"What? You said, Lu Dongzan followed Feng Deyao all the way, drawing a map, and it was all the city checkpoints of our Tang Dynasty! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! Lu Dongzan always thought that we didn't know his actions, but in fact, no matter how secretive he was, he couldn't escape my eyes! Your Majesty, how to deal with this person, please Your Majesty! "If Feng Deyao was here, then he would definitely see that this person was his retinue. Only, why is he here?

"That's it! You go to Di Aiqing to sell things first, and as for the other things, I have my own arrangements! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! When the man left, Li Jiancheng sat down.

"Humph! All right! This person deserves to be the number one thinker under Songtsen Gampo! The first thing I did when I came to my court was to draw a map of the level I was going to! Not bad, not bad! However, my princess is not so easy to marry! I've got a lot of fun shows for you, it's up to you to see if you want to play or not! Hahahaha! "Li Jiancheng decreed that three days later, at the great court meeting, I will personally meet with the envoy of Tubo, Lu Dongzan.

"Minister! Tibetan envoy, great minister. Dongzan see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! Congratulations to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, long live, long live, long live! ”

"Let's get flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Entrusted by my lord, His Majesty the Great Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo, he came to the Tang Dynasty in the east to marry the princess! And presented a gift list - on it there were 5,000 taels of gold, 500 war horses, and 1,000 cattle and sheep! I hope that Datang can complete the country in order to achieve the good of our two states forming the Qin and Jin Dynasties! Don't use the cauldron! From Lu Dongzan's words, Li Jiancheng did not hear the slightest respect for Li Tang. On the contrary, Li Jiancheng heard a feeling of unwillingness. Li Jiancheng smiled:

"Honorable Envoy! I am glad that the Tibetans were able to send you here and bring so many gifts! I already know the sincerity of your country! I have decreed that the eldest daughter of Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, be canonized as Princess Wencheng! ……”

"The foreign minister thanks His Majesty the Emperor for Zampu!" Lu Dongzan was about to salute. Li Jiancheng waved his hand.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank you! Actually, I have to tell the Honorable Envoy! Although I promised you! However, my princess Wencheng gave me a few questions. said that if you can't answer, you won't marry! I'm so embarrassed! ”

"Your Majesty! May I ask what is the subject that makes His Majesty so difficult! Li Jiancheng took out a bag. Motioned to Mingyu's father-in-law beside him to hand these six questions to Lu Dongzan.

"Your Excellency, please answer these six questions within ten days! Otherwise, don't blame me for not believing in my words! ”

"Your Majesty!" Only seven days later, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, immediately asked to see Li Jiancheng.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Nalu Dongzan is simply a genius! Five of the six questions, Lu Dongzan has completely answered, as for the sixth question, Lu Dongzan said that he will personally answer it in front of His Majesty. ”

"Oh!" Li Jiancheng was also very surprised. Because these six questions were thought up by Li Jiancheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Li Jing and others day and night - the first question, nine songs perforated; Li Jiancheng's palace maids prepared a pearl, which was very beautiful, but when piercing, the craftsmen put some thought into it, the holes inside, the eighteen bends of the mountain road, and then prepared a red rope, and the topic of the assessment was to put the red rope through the hole. Lu Dongzan looked at this question, wandering around the courtyard of the pavilion, because he wanted to find a way, and finally under the tree, he thought of it, caught an ant, tied it with a red rope, smeared it with honey at one end of the pearl, and blew the ant into it at the other end, and the ant was greedy, so he smelled the honey all the way and went out. The rope was threaded through it. The second question is to distinguish between mother and child; Li Jiancheng asked the soldiers to choose a hundred mares and a hundred foals, and the content of the assessment was to identify their mother-son relationship. About horses, Lu Dongzan is very excited, Tubo is a country on horseback, begging for life on horseback, very experienced, looking at it from the head, it is definitely impossible, the accuracy rate is not high, and it is not elegant enough, Lu Dongzan took two steps. The first step is to separate all the mare and the pony, only to give the pony to eat horse feed, but not to drink, after eating for a day, the pony is thirsty, there is no water to drink, Lu Dongzan put the pony back again, his mother, the horse all know, after a while, they all go to the mare, drink milk. Not to mention, there are really a few foals, and the six relatives don't recognize them, but they didn't go to their mothers, and they have backbone. In the second step, Lu Dongzan used ventriloquism, imitating the call of the eagle, in the grassland, the foal is also one of the alternative food for the eagle, life is at stake, the foal no longer dares to be reserved, all burrow under the mother's armpit, seek protection, the task is completed. The third question is to drink wine and eat meat. For the warriors on the grassland, it is certainly no problem to drink wine and eat meat, and the attendants of the pavilion bring a hundred sheep and a hundred jars of wine, and stipulate that within one day, they can eat and drink. Lu Dongzan has already passed two levels in a row, so he is not in a hurry, looking at this topic, it is simple, Lu Dongzan ordered the soldiers, eat slowly, drink slowly, and sometimes, sing a small song to help the fun. When the sun went down, the wine was drunk, and the sheep were eaten. After answering three questions in a row, even the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and Jiangxia King Li Daozong were a little dumbfounded, just watching Lu Dongzan's performance. The fourth question is to find the roots and tips of the wood; It is to distinguish clearly, a piece of wooden stick of the same thickness, where is the head and where is the tail, this question is simple, Lu Dongzan directly asked people to throw a hundred pieces of wood into the water, which side is warped, it is the wooden tip; Question 5: Identifying the street; This is already the second day of the competition, everyone is watching Lu Dongzan's performance, the emperor is trying to embarrass people, at night, looking for someone, taking Lu Dongzan outside the city, and then let him find his own way back. At night, the black light was blinding, I originally wanted to test Lu Dongzan to recognize the way, but I didn't expect this bearded man, when he came out, he walked all the way, all the way to the mark, and now go back, just look for the mark, and pass another level. In this way, he passed five levels in a row, and then, Lu Dongzan found the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the father of Princess Wencheng, and Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia:

"Lord Wang, the first five questions have been completed below, but this sixth question is to identify the bride; There are two conditions below. I hope you can help me to complete it! ”

"Lady Minister, please speak!"

"Lord Wang! First, after eating so much meat and drink, it takes time to dissipate your appetite, so please take a break for the next few days! ”

"Ahh What's so hard about that! Lord Minister, please rest in the pavilion! ……”

"No, no, no!" Lu Dongzan shook his head and said:

"Lord Wang! You misunderstood! When I say eliminate food, I mean that I want to spend a few days in Chang'an City! Take a look at the prosperity of the capital of the Tang Dynasty! ”

"Oh! Good! Yes, you can! So what is the second condition? ”

"Oh! This second condition is that in a few days, I will personally invite Her Royal Highness the princess from among more than 100 palace ladies in front of His Majesty's Jinluan Palace! ”
