Chapter 0728. Play out diplomacy
"It is this palace that has made up its mind that it will have so much contact with the Tang Dynasty, for the sake of His Majesty in Chang'an, the concubine has already paid a lot here in Tubo, and now the envoy only needs to agree to the conditions of Tubo. YaNkuai”
For a long time, Princess Wencheng, who was standing still like a bodhisattva, slowly opened her mouth, and her calm voice came without hurrying, but the brows of Ren Yaxiang, the envoy of Chang'an, jumped again, and she was anxious and shouted: "But princess, you should know that Chang'an can't agree to such conditions at all!"
"Isn't Your Majesty rich in the sea? Just levy more from the untouchables, and the dignified Heavenly Empire will not even be inferior to the King of Fujian. ”
Wen Cheng's voice was still so gentle, but it was so harsh in his ears, it seemed that he had finally exhausted his patience, Ren Yaxiang suddenly shook his sleeves in annoyance, and said with a threatening voice: "Princess, don't forget, Fujian has Lu Dongzan, only Datang needs you, only by cooperating with Datang, you have the right to control, otherwise, you will still be like the golden bodhisattva in the temple, looking glamorous, just an ornament!" Even the lowly Ni Bora ruler princess is not as good. ”
"Ambassador Ren should not forget, only the palace is the bridge between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and the conditions of Tubo have been given to the bottom line, whether to let the long border from the four towns of Anxi to Bashu become a hunting ground for Fujian to enter and exit, or to have a fast passage to threaten the Beijing Division, I believe Your Majesty will think it through!"
Wen Cheng still looked quiet, did not turn back, and was not moved at all.
The threat didn't work, as a last resort, Ren Yaxiang had to soften his tone, and pleaded with a little pleading: "Your Highness, you are also a Tang person, can you bear to see the Tang Dynasty starving everywhere?"
"This palace is now Tubo Zanmeng!" Finally, Princess Wencheng's voice also changed from calm just now to excitement, this time, her tone was full of anger, and she shouted sharply: "This palace has already sacrificed for the Tang Dynasty once, married to this ancient and wild snowy plateau, married to this short-lived barbarian as a wife, how about this palace?"
Listening to Wen Cheng's excited voice, after being stunned, Ren Yaxiang folded his hands helplessly, raised his sleeves together, and made a big salute to Princess Wencheng, and then turned around and walked out. The face shone from the roof in the warm sunshine, but Wencheng's chest was always rising and falling violently, and he couldn't find his former peace for a long time.
This scene in the red roof of the Potala Palace only happened quietly, and it did not affect the fierce turmoil in the city of Lhasa.
However, in the eyes of everyone, the actions of the envoys of the Fujian State became more and more confusing.
For several days in a row, no matter Qin Huaiyang, Li Xueyan or Deputy Envoy Li Que, none of them showed urgency, and it was only courtesy to ask to see Zampu, and they were not entangled if they were refused, and they did not visit any of the important Tubo ministers of the Niang family, Wei family, and Nen family, and even the Gar family, which has always been an alliance of the Fujian State, did not visit.
If you want to describe the activities of the three Fujian envoys in one word, it is, play!
As if he was carefree in the palace of the king of Shu, Qin Huaiyang went to visit the last time he met those young nobles in Tubo, this time he had a generous hand, and even used the treasury of the mission to buy all the good wine in Lhasa, and entangled a group of young people all day long.
As for Li Xueyan, she almost organized the female dependents of the powerful families in Lhasa, and these days, the commoners at the head of Lhasa can be regarded as eye-opening, and they can see a large group of noble ladies who used to have a luxurious hope for even a glance around the city all day long.
It seems that the only normal point is the deputy envoy Li Que, every day Li Que is followed by the guard surnamed Xiao, the whole Lhasa City does not care about the big temple or the small temple, when the temple is worshipped, and a worship is a day.
In the past few days, if you want to ask who is the most popular in Lhasa, it is none other than Qin Huaiyang and Li Xueyan, the former is bold and heroic, he must drink as much as he wants, and he spends all his money at every meal, and Li Xueyan is even more generous in the circle of noblewomen, showing off her gems and jewelry, spices and clothing, if someone likes it, she will give it all to her, and she will never be stingy.
This scene made many Tubo nobles who were optimistic about Fujian couldn't help frowning, but unconsciously many old nobles who were hostile to Fujian were also kind to Qin Huaiyang, who didn't have a wife? Who doesn't have a favored grandchild?
These days, the city of Lhasa is also getting more and more lively.
The vast majority of the Tibetan people still live a nomadic life, because of this, the management of Tubo must not be like the Central Plains Dynasty courtiers and courtiers **** to the court, the court affairs through the state and county, post stations such a dense network spread to the locality, Tubo manages the huge tribes, using the alliance system.
Since the beginning of the Songtsen Gampo period, Tubo has divided the country into five Ru, sixty-one Dongdai, peacetime for the administrative system, combat units in battle, Dongdai means thousand households, and Ru is ten thousand households.
Every year, the governor of Ru and Dongdai, who was assigned by Lhasa, would lead some of his tribes to pay tribute near Lhasa and make an alliance with Zampu, who and his subordinates would have an alliance once a year, sometimes even several times a year, to strengthen their loyalty to Zampu through a series of oath ceremonies.
The annual irregular meeting alliance is also the most lively time on the plateau, which is equivalent to the Naadam conference of the Mongols, and the Tubo people who participate in the alliance will also trade surplus goods, settle debts, exchange slaves, and hold various large-scale competitions at the same time.
The most famous sports in Mongolia are horse racing, wrestling, sheep hunting, and polo for Tibetans!
Hit the ball immediately, this sport has appeared in the Han Dynasty, but it is only a single shot, the real scale of the game is still in the Tubo Dynasty period, the game of the grassland people is also warlike, more than 20 people are divided into two teams, fiercely hit the polo with outer skin and inner hair, and hit the ball into the opponent's goal to win.
Since the Qin and Han dynasties, almost all of them have influenced the four Yi in China, but this polo has come back and spread from Tibet, not only swept the Central Plains, but even affected the ethnic minorities in the Northeast, and the vitality of polo in China lasted for more than a thousand years, until the middle of the Qing Dynasty slowly disappeared.
Starting from Tang Taizong, the Tang Emperors of all dynasties were also lovers of polo, among which Tang Xuanzong even listed polo as one of the compulsory courses of the army, and the birthplace of polo can be called fanatical.
Two simple goals, twenty-four knights divided into two groups, is a polo, a group of twelve players is also similar to later football, basketball, three for the vanguard, five for the Chinese army, four as the rear army to defend the goal, this year there is no later generation of rules to protect the players, in order to score everything to do so, once opened, the club waved, really like a small war.
"Kill!"
With a muffled roar, six young Tibetan pioneers wearing ball armor, five big and three thick had already collided together, twenty-four horses' hooves trampled together, wrist-thick clubs collided together, and a cowhide ball jumped more than once in the competition of several people.
Suddenly, I don't know who came up with it, the cue stick hooked the polo like an arm and swung it hard, and in an instant, the ball flew towards the opponent's goal like a bird.
"Good!" Excited to the extreme, the Tubo Xungui who hooked the ball, and the originally red face of Gu Yexiong from the royal family turned even redder, and the horse broke into the opponent's Chinese army, followed by him, and his teammate Wei. Deng Zhu and Nen. Ba Ren was also busy getting rid of the other party's entanglement, and followed Furuno Xiong to rush into the opponent's Chinese army.
Three-on-five, the situation is more intense, the eight clubs are like a saber fighting each other and colluding, several people teasing the horse to wander around the periphery like wolves, and before the time the heavy attack of the club on the war horse caused the war horse to neigh in pain.
It's really a royal family, a cue is played superbly, hooking up the polo and flying again, relying on the majestic Gu Yexiong of the Western Regions horse to squeeze through the two people who block the way, and run to the opponent's goal to kill the past.
Seeing that the simple wicker basket goal was close in front of him, the eyes of this Tubo Qinggui were red with excitement, and he aimed at the wicker basket and raised the polo cue fiercely, but at this moment, the opponent lost the red eye, and the Lu clan suddenly dragged the cue and rampage.
There was a crisp click, and the majestic Western Regions war horse also fell forward irrepressibly, and the bear rolled on the ground several times, regardless of the abrasions on his body, Gu Yexiong jumped up irritably, pointing at a few broken mouths of the Wulu clan and scolding.
"Despicable bear bag!"
Although it is shameful to stumble, there are no rules to prohibit Tibetan polo, so although Furuno's majestic head is dizzy, the polo player without Lu still cheered and rushed back with the ball.
Without the general Furuno Xiong, the Lhasa polo team was in danger for a while, relying on the fierceness of the people, the polo players without the Lu clan screamed and rushed over with the ball, and the pioneers and Chinese troops who were entangled in the Lhasa polo players in groups rushed to the basket when they saw it.
Strange screams, the son of the owner of the Dongdai of the Lu clan slammed the polo with a cue, and shot straight towards the Lhasa basket, seeing this scene, just when these young magnates in Lhasa sighed, a different white cue almost slammed the speeding polo from mid-air.
"Brother Furuno, hit the ball!"
In the tough roar, the polo that was slapped on the ground bounced up, and then was swung out by the silver-white club, and on the other end, the stunned Furuno Xiong immediately turned over and jumped on the war horse that was already lying on the ground, and the club was as flexible as the hand of the cloud to catch the polo ball flying in the air, and when a group of non-Lu polo players were still looking at the sky in amazement.
Gollum ~ The four rear soldiers of the Lu clan were dumbfounded, and the polo shot into the ball frame steadily.
"Brother Qin, it's really good!" After completing a Jedi counter-kill, Furuno Xiong excitedly raised his chest, and on the other hand, the silver-white ball armor players of the rear army couldn't help but take off their armor excitedly, revealing a handsome little white face full of sweat.
Not Qin Huaiyang or which?
