Chapter 507: Missing Hands One After Another
Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have already arranged it, Lu Dongzan climbs higher and falls, the louder he falls." This time he must lose his cool and do something stupid; Your Majesty would have enough reason to put him to death. ”
Li Shimin nodded silently; There was a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth.
The envoy team of Tubo won three consecutive games, and they were all very excited, and they came to the tavern outside, and talked and were a little arrogant after a few glasses of wine, not only degraded several other envoys, but even the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty were not as good as their praise of Lord Donglu.
Their arrogant posture was seen by the surrounding Datang people, and they were all filled with righteous indignation and held back to teach them a good lesson.
The next day, everyone went to the Imperial Garden again, and Li Shimin told everyone: This time, each marriage proposal envoy can choose a hundred retinues, drink a hundred jars of wine, eat a hundred sheep, knead the sheepskin, and return to his residence safely in one day.
When the envoys heard this, they laughed slightly, so they selected big men who could eat and drink from their entourage to participate in the competition. I don't know that Cheng Zhijie is bad, and the wine used in these competitions is a spirit that has been steamed several times.
When the race began, the other messengers and their attendants hurriedly slaughtered the sheep, and abandoned them all over the ground full of wool and blood; Then he drank wine in large bowls and ate meat in large gulps.
At the beginning, these people who drank a sip of wine applauded one after another, and drank bitterly. As a result, the meat has not been eaten, and the person is already drunk, where can he still care about kneading the skin.
Gar? Lu Dongzan sneered slightly at their reactions, and he asked the hundred knights who followed him to line up to kill the sheep, and in order to sip the wine in small sips, eat meat in small pieces, and knead the skin at the same time. In less than a day, the Tibetan envoys drank the wine, ate the meat, and kneaded the skin.
At this point, all that's left is to walk home. The other two envoys were already unconscious, and although the Tibetans had completed the first stage, they were also swaying and delirious when each of them went down with a jar of spirits.
Fortunately, Lu Dongzan had already arranged it, and he asked people to tie the rope on the way back, and they went out of the palace and returned to their homes one by one holding the rope.
The warm inn in the past is a little strange today, and the smell is also a little fishy; Lu Dongzan was like walking on the clouds, top-heavy, and he scolded: "It's that bastard who spit on the ground again, it smells so bad." What a rice bucket! However, Datang's wine is really good wine, but this time I want to bring the recipe back and brew some myself at home. Thinking about it, he fell to the ground and fell asleep.
The next day, Lu Dongzan was woken up by a few strange humming sounds, and he only felt that his mouth was dry and his head was splitting. It took him a long time before he remembered where he was and what else he had to do.
Lu Dongzan suddenly opened his eyes, and a huge pig's head appeared in front of him.
"Ahh What's going on? Lu Dongzan's wine suddenly woke up, and he crawled forward with a grunt, and then looked to see that they were indeed in a pigsty.
"We've been tricked?" Lu Dongzan's first reaction was that someone threw himself here yesterday, but when he looked outside, he saw that the rope he had asked the waiter to tie was still on the door, and he looked along the rope, and there were still many traces of vomiting along the way, and it seemed that he did come over yesterday.
The entourage around him was still asleep, his face was blue with anger, and he said: "Get up, get out of here!" A bunch of rubbish! ”
The entourage came to their senses, and one by one they got up and were taken aback by the current scene. Lu Dongzan didn't say a word, hurried out of the pigsty with his entourage, and returned to the post house.
There were people coming in and out of the post house, and when they came over, the stench made everyone hide, and they all pointed at them. Lu Dongzan and the others covered their faces with the sleeves of their robes and returned to their rooms in a panic, and washed them up and down several times, but they always felt that they were not cleaned; There is always a nauseous stench in the nose.
The envoy of Tibet hurried to the Imperial Garden, and saw that others always thought that they were hiding from him, and pointed and talked about it. This made Lu Dongzan and them think that some parts of their bodies had not been washed and were still stinking.
Li Shimin stood up and said, "Okay, today is the last test question." Invite people out! With Li Shimin's order, 500 women in red walked in outside the door, but these people covered their heads with red hijabs, and no one could see their faces.
Li Shimin said: "All the envoys have worked hard, I can't let you come in vain. However, no one passed the first few rounds of testing; I can only think of this way to give everyone another chance.
These 500 people are all my palace maids, but one of them is a princess. Take your pick! Even if the chosen one is not a princess, I will give her the status of the county lord to fulfill everyone's wishes. ”
Several envoys were dumbfounded, this is too difficult! No one knew the princess in the first place, and they covered her with a hijab, isn't this a big luck?
Tuyuhun and the Persian envoy secretly compared, Zandonglu rolled his eyes, quietly went to the edge of the line, and asked where was the old mother standing with a concerned face. "Mom, do you recognize the princess?"
"Of course, the princess grew up with me."
Lu Dongzan smiled, took out a gold ingot and gave it to the old mother, "Then does the mother know what is special about the princess?"
The old mother looked at Jin Zimei and smiled: "Our princess likes to make a kind of floral fragrance, this kind of floral fragrance is not only refreshing for people, but also for bees.
Lu Dongzan was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him and ran out. The old mother quietly retreated behind Cheng Zhijie and said, "King Jun, I have said everything according to what you taught." The black man gave me a lump of gold. ”
Cheng Zhijie laughed and said: "Very good, the gold belongs to you, go down!" The old mother thanked her and walked away quickly.
After a short time, Lu Dongzan ran back again, holding a small porcelain jar in his hand, and walked quickly to the crowd to be selected and quietly opened it.
Two bees flew out of it, and after the two bees flew out, they couldn't stop flying around one person. Lu Dongzan was overjoyed when he saw it, and hurriedly ran to SAIC, grabbed the man's arm and shouted: "Your Majesty the Tang Emperor, we have already chosen, so we will choose her!" ”
Li Shimin asked, "Can your envoy be identified?" This determination cannot be changed? ”
Lu Dongzan always felt that His Majesty the Emperor was unwilling to marry his daughter, and his face was gloomy, as if something precious was about to be lost. So he strengthened his determination and said loudly: "We have decided to choose her!" ”
Li Shimin smiled mysteriously and nodded in agreement. Zandonglu always felt that there might be something wrong here, as if he had been fooled; But he didn't dare to confirm it; I had to pull my chosen person out of the crowd.
The other two envoys quickly gave up hope, and they could only choose one according to the standard of their own country's beautiful figures, and also raised their hands to say that their side had also been chosen.
Li Shimin saw that they had finished choosing, let the remaining palace maids go down, and said to a few people: "Okay, since you have all chosen, let's take a good look!" ”
The two women selected by Persia and Tuyuhun took off their hijabs first, bowed slightly, and said, "Long live the slave and maid." ”
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay!" Are you willing to marry Fanbang? Promote peace between our Central Plains and other races. ”
These palace maids can only be young in the deep palace, and if they marry this time, they will be the mother of a country, so the two still agreed to come down and thank God.
Li Shimin named them the county lord of Jincheng and the county lord of Yincheng, and gave them marriage to the princes of Persia and Tuyuhun.
The two envoys saw that although the one they chose was not a princess, the two beauties were both bright-eyed and kind, and they were also rare beauties; I have gained something from this trip, and I am very satisfied.
They turned their heads to look at Lu Dongzan, who had repeatedly performed miracles, to see what they had gained this time.
Lu Dongzan was arrogant, bowed to the person he chose, and said firmly: "Please take off the hijab, princess?" ”
When everyone heard this, they all talked about it. "Princess? Was he so sure it was a princess? ”
The princess nodded slightly, took off the hijab on her head, and everyone was stunned when they saw it, even Lu Dongzan almost fell to the ground. He trembled angrily and said, "You, what kind of monster are you?" Where did you hide the princess? ”
Everyone laughed when they saw it, and in front of him stood a woman who looked more than 30 years old, her skin was rough and dark, and there was a huge birthmark on her face, which made people scary to look at.
The man grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth and said, "My name is Gong Zhu, and I am the palace maid in the palace." I've been here all along, without hiding. ”
Lu Dong was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Li Shimin laughed and said: "Okay, Gong Zhu, are you willing to marry the queen of Tubo." ”
Gong Zhu almost went crazy with joy, and hurriedly lay on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing, I am very willing!" Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Excellency, for your choice. ”
Lu Dong almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood in admiration, Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay!" Then I will make you the county lord of Wencheng. I hope that you will live well in Tibet and their Zampu, and make efforts for the peace of our alliance between Han and Tibet. ”
"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty! Gong Zhu happily agreed, and then followed Zandonglu inch by inch, as if he was afraid that he would run away.
"Okay, the assessment of this marriage has ended, and I think everyone has chosen the woman they like, let's disperse!"
Everyone saluted and retired, and this time Persia and Tuyuhun had achieved their goal, but Tubo became the object of ridicule by others, and they returned to the post house in disgrace, as if something big had happened, the door was closed and lifeless.
Gong Zhu also followed back to the post house, she saw the exquisite food served, and she was already drooling greedily, regardless of rushing up, it was a burst of binge eating Haisai.
