Chapter 174: The Great Treatise of Dongzan
The cold wind outside the house was howling, with the smell of ice and snow drifting from the snowy mountains, Zhu Mingyang and the others sat quietly around the square table, and the only brazier in the room brought some warmth. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Chunfeng, I know that you are very knowledgeable, just tell me what is the origin of that Lu Dongzan, are you sure to start with him and let him take us to see Songtsen Gampo?" Zhu Mingyang looked at Li Chunfeng with expectation.
Zhu Mingyang originally wanted to ask Li Chunfeng about Lu Dongzan's details as soon as he returned to the inn, but after returning to the inn and meeting Xu Yue'er, he forgot about arguing with Xu Yue'er.
"Yes, I heard Cuicui say that Lu Dongzan is mysterious, you must tell us what kind of person he is?" Xu Yue'er pricked up her ears and stared at Li Chunfeng tightly with her eyes, for fear of missing half a sentence.
"Well, it started a long, long time ago, but I'm thirsty now, and I want to drink tea!" Li Chunfeng saw that everyone was concentrating on stopping himself, and deliberately sold Guanzi
"Do you even say it!" Gao Yanyan gently picked up Li Chunfeng's ears.
"It hurts, I said it's not enough~!" Li Chunfeng covered his ears and said.
Since Li Chunfeng met Gao Yanyan, it seems that the original pedantic personality has become funny and humorous.
"Poof! Sir, you say it slowly, Cuicui will make you a pot of tea! Cuicui couldn't help but laugh and walked to the back kitchen.
After a while, Cuicui returned to the room with a pot of steaming tea.
"It's still Cuicui well-behaved, in fact, this tea was also brought by Princess Wencheng from my Tang Dynasty!" Li Chunfeng gently blew the tea leaves floating on the surface of the tea.
"To get to the point, are we asking Lu Dongzan? Why did you pull Princess Wencheng out again? Zhu Mingyang said anxiously.
"Childe, don't worry. If you want to say this Lu Dongzan, you must first say Princess Wencheng. Li Chunfeng said slowly.
"What does this have to do with Princess Wencheng?" Zhu Mingyang said suspiciously.
"Things have to start with the first emperor...... Li Chunfeng seems to have returned to more than ten years ago.
Daming Palace, the sun is warm, Li Shimin stands on the high platform of Daming Palace, the entire Chang'an City has a panoramic view, there is a great tendency to reign over the world, and hundreds of civil and military officials kneel respectfully in front of Daming Palace.
"Your Majesty! The envoys of various countries are already waiting outside the Xuanwu Gate! The eunuch next to him came over and said to Li Shimin.
"Xuan!" Li Shimin spit out a word, but only one word was full of majesty.
After a while, a group of people dressed in strange costumes walked to the front of Daming Palace under the leadership of the eunuch and saluted Li Shiming.
"Hmm!" Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty, these are the envoys who have come to marry Princess Wencheng!" Li Daozong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward and said.
"Princess Wencheng, although she is not my biological daughter, but she is also my clan, with royal blood, and the princess is smart and virtuous, dignified and generous, you must carefully consider it, and must not be abrupt, and lose the prestige of my great country!" Li Shimin commanded at Li Daozong.
"Yes! Ministers must do it themselves, and dare not slack off! I have prepared the test according to His Majesty's orders, but only those who pass the test can marry the princess! Li Daozong said slowly.
"Go ahead!" Li Shimin said with anticipation, as if he was ready to watch a good show.
In front of the Daming Palace, the envoys of various countries all looked at Li Daozong, as if they were waiting a little impatiently. But seeing Li Daozong walking down slowly, holding the imperial list prepared in advance.
"Attention of the missions of various countries, Princess Wencheng is smart and virtuous, dignified and generous, because there are more missions to marry, according to the regulations of our dynasty, she can successfully pass the test to be eligible to marry the princess." Li Daozong said proudly.
"My lord, don't waste it, hurry up and get the question!" An emissary said anxiously.
"The first question, there is a jade pendant here, but this jade pendant is not wearing a lanyard, please send the envoys of various countries to wear the jade pendant on a lanyard!" Li Daozong pointed to the jade pendant on the eunuch's tray and said.
"I'll come first!" The Turkic envoy took the lead in taking out the jade pendant from the tray.
The Tibetan envoy was just about to wear the rope but was dumbfounded, but when he saw that the hole of the crystal clear jade pendant actually bent nine bends, the Turkic envoy looked around and began to wear the lanyard against the sun, but it took a long time, and the rope had not passed three bends.
"I don't think you can do it! Let me! The Hui envoy snatched the jade pendant from the Turkic envoy and began to put it on.
As if doing needlework, the Hui envoy put the string on his tongue and licked it, moistened the string, and began to pierce it in the dazzling sunlight.
"I'll try it!" At this time, a Tibetan envoy wearing a Tibetan robe came over and gently picked up the jade pendant on the tray.
But seeing that the Tibetan envoy was not in a hurry to pierce it, but squatted down and searched around on the green bricks on the ground, everyone looked at the Tibetan envoy in front of them suspiciously, and even Li Shimin also looked at it.
After a while, the Tibetan envoy caught an ant from the ground, carefully tied a thin thread around the ant's waist, and then stuffed the ant into one of the jade pendants. Then he took out another bottle of honey from his bosom, smeared it with honey on the other end of the jade pendant, and finally he put the jade pendant to his mouth and blew vigorously on the ant's tail.
After the ant was blown by the Tibetan messenger for a distance, it seemed to smell the sweet smell of honey in front of it, and crawled along the zigzag line holes, and after a while, he actually crawled out of the zigzag line holes, and the Tibetan messenger took out the ants with strings.
"Well, it's great!" Li Shimin smiled happily when he saw that the Tibetan envoy had successfully passed the string through the jade pendant.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment!" The Tibetan envoy put the jade pendant on the tray and said humbly.
"Okay, I don't know what to call the messenger?" Li Shimin asked with concern.
"I am the Tubo Great Commentator Lu Dongzan, and I am here to marry the princess on the order of Zanpu!" Lu Dongzan said softly.
"Lu Dongzan, good! It seems that the princess has found a good home! Li Shimin praised.
"Your Majesty, wait! Isn't the test not over yet? Maybe we'll be able to win in the next test! Just as Li Shimin was about to marry Princess Wencheng to Tibet, the envoys of the other missions objected.
"Since the Tibetan envoy Lu Dongzan can win against you, proving that Lu Dongzan's strength is stronger than yours, what else do you have to try!" Li Shimin said contemptuously.
"There are still a few tests behind this, the dignified Tang **** will not keep his promises!" There was a commotion in the mission.
"Your Majesty, I also think that the test should be completed, so that the other missions will also be convinced!" At this time, Lu Dongzan also said deeply to Li Shimin.
"Good! I didn't think you were quite confident. That's fine, let's see which country is stronger. Li Shimin looked at the Tubo theory in front of him, and seemed to be full of confidence in him...... (To be continued.) )
