Li Longji said eloquently: "Your Majesty, the so-called Buddha's tooth is to confuse the public, it is obviously a thing called diamond, this kind of thing is extremely hard, and foreign objects cannot be damaged, but the antelope horn can break the diamond, and the antelope horn that Weichen used just now is the antelope horn."

"How did you find out about this?" Li Xian asked strangely.

Li Longji casually glanced at Zhang Bao'er, and said to Li Xian with a smile: "Wechen once saw this method from the book, and it happened to be used today!" ”

Princess Taiping snorted coldly in her heart: "What you see from the book, it is clearly Zhang Bao'er's idea to help him, let you be proud for a while, there will be a time when you cry!" ”

One wave just flattened, and one wave rose again, and before Li Xian had time to be happy, someone stood up again.

This time it was the Tubo prince who spoke, and he played to Li Xian: "Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tian Khan, there are many people under me who are good at playing polo, and I hope to have a try with the Celestial Empire." ”

Li Xian couldn't help frowning, as soon as he beat down the arrogance of the Tibetan envoy Qi Lixu, the prince of Tubo came to call for Zhu Dan again, this must have been premeditated.

Tubo hunted in autumn every year, plundered in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and began to fight with the Tang Dynasty in successive years. Except for the middle Songtsen Gampo who courted Taizong and married Princess Wencheng, the two sides were at peace for a while, and the rest of the time they were at war. After Li Xian ascended the throne, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty fought a series of wars, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Since the ruler belt Zhudan is challenged, of course Li Xian can't show weakness, Datang has become popular in playing polo, and the palace has a special team, if it is not compared, it will be faceless, so Li Xian readily agreed.

The setting of the polo field at the palace is quite exquisite, and there is a pavilion next to the court, so that you can watch the game objectively. The ground of the course has been carefully treated and is quite wide and smooth. Not only is the venue of good quality, but the polo game also has a fixed musical accompaniment.

This game with Tubo is also accompanied by drumming, and when the drums are beaten, two groups of people on the field will beat their horses and rush out. There are ten people each, holding a club with a curved tip, chasing a red ball the size of a fist, rushing back and forth, quite lively. Under the leadership of Prince Zhudan, the Tubo golfers clearly had the upper hand, and repeatedly hit small balls into the goals of the Tang court team.

Li Xian's expression was gloomy, and he said to himself: "If my brother is still here, how can he lose to these Tubo people?" ”

Li Xian is talking about Li Xian, the prince of Zhang Huai, Li Xian was famous for playing polo in his early years, but unfortunately he committed suicide because of Wu Zetian's persecution.

Li Xian was feeling uncomfortable, and someone around him was already shouting at him: "Your Majesty! ”

Li Xian saw that it was Li Longji again, so he asked, "San Lang, is there something wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty, let's play, shall we?"

Li Xian saw that Li Longji was followed by Wu Yanxiu, Xue Chongjian, and Cui Wenli.

After thinking twice, Li Xian agreed to change four people to play.

The four of them faced ten Tibetan players, without the slightest fear, and drove the east and west to break through, and finally regained the victory from the hands of the Tubo people.

Li Longji can be said to have shone brightly at the banquet and invited envoys and ministers of civil and military affairs from various countries, which impressed everyone.

In addition to Li Longji, the biggest winner is Shum's firm. The food and use in the banquet were as large as the Hu table and chairs, as small as the food box and bamboo chopsticks, and even the silk tea given to the envoys, and the rouge gouache presented to the minister's wife, all of which were provided by the Cen family free of charge. Through this banquet, the fame of the Cen family was completely launched in Chang'an, attracting the power and wealth of the family to compete for it.

After the banquet, Li Xian immediately issued an order: to make Zhang Bao'er the founding county marquis.

In just over a little time, Zhang Baoer's deprived title was restored, and it was a higher title than the Earl of the Founding County.

……

Wang You, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, stood respectfully in front of Princess Taiping, a little uneasy in his heart, he didn't know what Princess Taiping meant by summoning him into the palace, but one thing he knew very well in his heart that the people in front of him were not something he could offend. The battle between Empress Wei and Princess Taiping in the court is a well-known thing, and it is difficult to predict who will die in the end, if you offend any of them now, the future result will not be much better.

Of course, Princess Taiping knew Wang You's mood at the moment, and she enjoyed this feeling very much.

After drying Wang You for a while, watching that the fire had arrived, Princess Taiping put on a smiling face and said: "Wang Shilang, I invite you to come today to inquire about something, I hope I can tell you the truth!" ”

Wang Youcheng said in fear: "Her Royal Highness the princess is polite, even if there is anything you order, the lower officials must do their best!" ”

Princess Taiping nodded and asked, "The prince of Tubo brought Zhu Dan to Chang'an this time, but he submitted his credentials?" ”

Wang You didn't know why Princess Taiping asked this, he hurriedly said: "It's handed over, it was handed over to the Ministry of Rites by the Tibetan envoy Qi Lixu personally!" ”

"What is the purpose of their trip?" Princess Taiping asked again.

"They want to form an alliance with Datang and stop the war!"

"Alliance?" Princess Taiping frowned and said, "Did they mention the matter of harmony?" ”

Wang You was shocked, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "No! ”

"I see!" Princess Taiping said slowly: "You go back first!" ”

Wang You couldn't wait to leave the princess's mansion quickly, and when he heard Princess Taiping say this, he hurriedly saluted and said goodbye.

……

Night was just approaching, and the lights were already on in the guest room of the Sifang Pavilion, and there was a table of wine and food in front of Zhu Dan, Qi Lixu, and Hou Huai'an, and the three of them were drinking.

"Your Royal Highness, it seems that we are thinking too simply!" Qili Xu glanced at the ruler with Zhu Dan and said, "I don't know how that Li Longji knows the cracking technique, and he can also play a good polo!" ”

Zhu Dan took a sip of the wine glass and said: "The Tang Dynasty is full of talents, which is also reasonable!" ”

Since the failure of fighting with Zhang Baoer a few years ago, Zhu Dan no longer drinks in a big bowl, but uses a wine glass, and he no longer fights with others after that, which has almost become a shadow in his heart. It was also from this time that Zhu Dan understood a truth: Datang cannot be underestimated.

"If we make things so difficult for Datang, will they not form an alliance with us?" Kili Xu said with some concern.

"I don't think so, the two sides have been at war for so many years, and they can't afford it. This alliance was proposed by us, and it can be regarded as giving them enough face, I don't think they will affect the alliance because of these little things! Speaking of this, Zhu Dan said with some indignation: "If it weren't for those rebellious ministers and thieves who rebelled, there is no way now, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to form an alliance with them!" ”

Thinking of the turbulence of the domestic situation in Tibet, Qili Xu couldn't help but sigh.
