Chapter 72: The Tibetan Mission 8

Li Hong's actions almost scared Le Yanwei, Liu Xiangdao and Zhao Renji to death, if this really starts, it will lead to a big war between Datang and Tubo! Fortunately, the Tibetan ambassador An Lai immediately softened, and the prince also accepted it when he saw it!

Ay!

This right is so capricious!

When Li Hong rode away, Le Yanwei, Liu Xiangdao, and Zhao Renji glanced at each other, and couldn't help but shake their heads and smile bitterly. This time they worked with the prince, but they really realized the prince's arrogant and domineering side. Why didn't you see it before?

"Ambassador An, Deputy Envoy Sang, Princess Gesang, please!" Le Yanwei said.

"Please!" An Lai also said politely.

With the previous unpleasantness, now everyone doesn't want to deliberately start disputes anymore, and they are much more polite to each other.

An Lai, Sang Ying, and Princess Gesang all had twenty guards around them, Princess Gesang had six around her, and An Lai and Sang Ying had four slaves around them, all of whom followed An Lai and his party into the city and lived in the pavilion specially arranged by Honglu Temple. The remaining 600 elite cavalry were all sent to the Nanya camp under the supervision of a thousand cavalry guards.

Because Li Hong's can tell him, the courtyard where the Tibetan mission lived is still the same as the courtyard where they lived last time, but because it has been a long time, it is even more dilapidated than last time.

Sang Ying followed Ann to this courtyard and frowned.

He had heard from the members of the mission who came to Chang'an before that the Tibetan delegation would be given a grand reception when they arrived in Datang, and they would arrange the best house to remember and serve the whitest woman.

But what he saw was a world away from what he had heard. And what made him even more polite was that the small courtyard where they lived also charged for accommodation and food.

Not to mention Sang Ying, even An Lai was a little angry, and his face became a little blue. Isn't this a deliberate bully of our Tibetans?

On the side, Le Yanwei, Liu Daoxiang, and Zhao Renji were also very distressed, but they couldn't help it, who called this the rule set by the prince?

"You want to live for half a month, a total of forty-seven people and a dog, accommodation fees of ninety yuan, food expenses of one hundred yuan, a total of one hundred and ninety yuan." The scribe at the door shouted.

"Damn, you also collect money for this broken ground?" Sang Ying scolded, and was about to step forward to beat the scribe, but was reprimanded by An Lai, "Give money-!" ”

When one of the servants beside Anlai heard this, he handed a piece of gold bread to the scribe, and the scribe took the gold bread and found some pieces of silver for the servant, and then let them in.

This courtyard is not big, and it is a bit crowded with more than 40 people, plus there is Her Royal Highness the Princess by your side. An Lai spent another sum of money to settle Princess Gesang in the small courtyard next to him, which can be regarded as settling his mission.

When An came to do all this, Le Yanwei, Liu Xiangdao, and Zhao Renji all accompanied him.

In fact, the three of them didn't want to do this, but they were afraid that the scribes in Honglu Temple would be ignorant and annoy An Lai and his party, so they didn't dare to leave, so they could only follow. After doing all this, Le Yanwei said, "Ambassador An, you are tired all the way, so rest early, and tomorrow you will go with this official to see Your Majesty and Niangniang." ”

"It's hard work!" An Lai said lightly.

When Le Yanwei, Liu Xiangdao, and Zhao Renji left, Sang Ying kicked over the table in front of him and shouted, "It's so hateful, damn, they're too arrogant, what do they do for us when they do this." ”

When Sang Ying was angry, An Lai did not stop it, but sat on the side and listened quietly.

Half a sound, after Sang Ying finished getting angry, he said unhurriedly, "Don't worry, the show is still to come." Today, it is only the prince of the Tang Dynasty who receives us, not the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, and only the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty has done the master of the things we talked about, and he Li Hong is not so arrogant. ”

"Moreover, are we willing to be bullied and insulted by Li Hong?" A cruel smile appeared on the corner of An Lai's mouth, "Just let him be arrogant for a few more days!" ”

"Ambassador An, what are you going to do?" After Sang Ying calmed down, he suddenly stared at An Lai and asked.

An Lai smiled and said nothing, and only after half a sound did he speak, "I brought this mastiff this time, but I didn't want to give it to them plainly, it also depends on whether they have the ability to do it." If you endure it for the next few days, you can watch the show when the time comes! ”

Seeing that An was so sure, Sang Ying believed it and stopped complaining.

……

……

Princess Gesang's courtyard is smaller than that of An Lai and Sang Ying, but the environment is much quieter than the courtyard of the two of them.

At this time, Princess Gesang had already bathed and changed her clothes and was sitting and drinking tea. Even when she arrived in Chang'an City, Honglu Temple gave her the best quality, but she still liked to drink their Tibetan butter milk tea.

"Princess, the performance of the prince of the Tang Dynasty today makes my eyes shine!" One of the maidservants beside Princess Gesang said, "Perhaps, we can find him to cooperate this time." ”

This handmaid is nominally the maid of Princess Gesang, but her real identity is Mangsong Mangzan's side concubine named Medoma.

Originally, there was no Princess Gesang in the delegation of the Tibetan envoy to the Tang Dynasty, but when he left, Mangsong Mangzan asked the princess to accompany him, saying that it was to let the princess see the culture of the Tang Dynasty and open the princess's eyes.

In fact, all this is just a cover-up.

The real reason why Princess Gesang and Medoma sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty was that they wanted to use the power of the Tang Dynasty to get rid of the Great Prime Minister Lu Dongzan and to take back the royal power to her husband, Mangsong Mangzan.

Because since the death of Songtsen Gampo, his grandson Mangsong Mangtsen succeeded to the throne because of his young age and the power of the side, by the great minister Lu Dongzan in charge of the state affairs, Lu Dongzan in the overall Tubo real power after the reform and improvement of the Tubo official system, and demarcation of the field boundary, the implementation of reform, now the national strength of Tubo has been very strong. The current Tubo Mangsong Mangzan is just a symbol, and the real power is actually Lu Dongzan.

And this time sending an envoy to Datang is also the meaning of Lu Dongzan.

Previously, according to Mangsong Mangzan's meaning, he wanted his sister Princess Gesang to get close to Gaozong so that he could please Gaozong, and wanted to use the power of the Tang Dynasty to regain his royal power. It's just that Mangsong Mangzan doesn't know the actual situation of the Tang Dynasty because he doesn't care about politics all the year round, so he naturally doesn't know that Gaozong is about to be overthrown by Empress Wu. He asked his sister Princess Gesang to please Gaozong may not be able to achieve the result he wants. Therefore, on the way to the Tang Dynasty, after Medoma knew all this, and then saw Li Hong's performance outside Chang'an City, he would say so.

Seeing that Princess Gesang was silent, Medoma continued, "Gesang, you have also heard a lot along the way, saying that now the Tang Dynasty is the queen mother, and their majesty no longer has much power, even if you please him, let him agree to our request, it may not be able to fulfill it!" But this prince is different, he you also saw outside the city today, but he is not a man who does not have much power. If we cooperate with him, it is estimated that it will be more effective than letting you please His Majesty of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Let women come forward to settle the dispute between the two countries, which is the usual measure of the Central Plains countries - princess and relatives.

Since the Great Qin unified the world, there has been no failure to do so in the face of the northern nomads, just like the Han Dynasty, the Great Sui, and even the Wenchen princess of the Tang Dynasty today, they are all victims of national interests.

The Tibetans disdain and are unwilling to do this.

But now it's different, for the sake of his brother's royal power, Gesang has to do this, and has to exchange his own body for her brother's power! When she thought of this, Princess Gesang's heart was very uncomfortable, she was only seventeen years old this year, she was a girl with a princely dream, she always thought that one day the person she liked could ride a horse and sing a song in front of her, carry her on horseback, and live a plain and happy life with her.

However, now her dream has been shattered...

Oh, yes! Since it is all in exchange for the royal power of his brother, what does it have to do with His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty or the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty?

Seeing that Princess Gesang didn't speak, Medoma sighed slightly, "Gesang, I've really wronged you this time!" ”

"Nothing!" Princess Gesang spoke, "Sister Medoma, this may be fate! Every girl has a dreamlike dream in their hearts, but in the end, they face the reality that their marriage is all involuntary, either for the family, or for the parents, or for the brother..."

When Medoma heard Princess Gesang say this, she didn't know how to persuade her.

"Just listen to Sister Medoma, Gesang also thinks that it is much easier to cooperate with the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty than to please His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Princess Gesang said. Immediately, her mind came to the scene where Li Hong guessed that it was a mastiff when he heard the dog barking outside the city, and there was a little more relief in her eyes. At least, this man who can hear the barking of a dog at once is a mastiff is better than his father, who is afraid of his wife!

She was also very happy when she saw that Princess Gesang agreed to her suggestion, so she whispered, "What Datang did to us today An Lai and Sang Ying will definitely return the original amount, since we want to cooperate with the Tang Prince, do you want to reveal some news to him?" ”

"I still don't need to!" Princess Gesang said lightly, "If he can't even solve such a little trouble, how can it be worth our cooperation with him?" ”

"That's right!" Medom nodded, and said no more.

After a long time, she spoke again, "Then how shall we approach him?" ”

"Wait!" Princess Gesang said very firmly, "An Lai and Sang Ying are going to stay in Chang'an City for a while, and we have a chance to get close to him." ”

When Princess Gesang said this, her hesitant eyes brightened a lot, because she was looking forward to the next meeting with Li Hong.

At the same time, she also prayed silently in her heart, because she hoped that the next time she would meet, the man she wanted to cooperate with, would at least do something that she appreciated and not disappoint her too much.

Because only in this way can she willingly give her body to the other party, and she is willing to try to give her * to the other party!
