Chapter 0120. Friends and foes change, interests are eternal...
It was still the same table, the 'color' of the dishes was changed again, except for expressing his gratitude to Qin Qing when he was leaving, Lu Dongzan's chubby, red cheeks were always smiling and silent, and he slowly tasted the taste of the red of the Western Regions one cup after another.
Staring at the fat face of the plateau red, if he didn't know that he was the great minister of Tubo, even Li Jie suspected that this guy was deliberately eating and drinking.
It's no wonder that the prime minister of another country came to his house, didn't speak, just ate and drank, and didn't make people suspicious.
The red 'colored' wine decreased little by little, and they drank the wine silently, and the two of them also cooked vegetables for each other from time to time, a harmonious appearance, which made it difficult to imagine that the two were still enemies of life and death when they were separated last time, and they wanted to put each other to death immediately and then quickly that kind of enemy.
It wasn't until a jar of Western Regions Red saw the bottom, and Li Jie turned around to get it, that Lu Dongzan shook his head and stopped Li Jie with a smile, and said with a change of mouth full of aftertaste: "In the end, it is the best Western Regions Red, the last time I drank it, it was still Zhenguan for eight years, that year Gaochang was attacked by the Tang Dynasty, Gaochang King Koji Wentai dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and even my lord who was far away in Luo received a letter for help, as well as more than ten jars of good Western Regions red wine, and at that time, I tasted a small cup, that taste, and now unforgettable." ”
"Since Lu Xiang likes it, then drink more halls, and when Lu Xiang leaves, bring a few more jars." 'Touch' didn't allow Lu Dongzan to come this time What did he mean, Li Jie simply followed his words, and turned around to call someone, but he didn't expect Lu Dongzan to reach out and stop Li Jie again, and shook his head reluctantly and refused.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Royal Highness King Shuo, one jar has been excessive, and if you drink it again, Lu Dongzan will be even more sorry for the lord of the country who is still recruiting people to resist the invasion of Zhangxiong and fight bloodily in Luoqi City."
Finally to the point, Li Jie's eyes flashed, he lowered his head slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Since the country in Tibet is in danger, why don't you fight side by side with your lord in Luoqi City, at this time, go to Datang to ask for so-called peace and do something, can the princess of Datang still be worth 100,000 soldiers?" ”
"It's worth it!" The round eyes flashed with identification, and Lu Dongzan actually nodded his fat head really seriously, which surprised Li Jie.
"Your Royal Highness may not know that the prestige of the Tang Dynasty is in the Western Regions, how great the deterrent power of Zhuqiang is, just by virtue of the name of Princess Wencheng, in just one month, not only did Khotan and Zhangxiong cease war, Hexi Zhuqiang let Zhangxiong recruit nearly 100,000 people since he was young, and even Sun 'Bo', who I conquered in Tibet, has several tribes recruited by Zhangxiong, and these people are all people who are deeply favored by our lord Songtsen Gampo."
"All this is just a fake princess of His Highness!"
The sleeve pushed the dish and lay on the table, Lu Dongzan poked his head over meaningfully, and in the face of his burning gaze, Li Jie shook his sleeve indifferently. "In that case, what should Lu Xiang do when he goes to the elder brother of the crown prince or the fourth brother of the king of Wei and comes to visit the king late at night? The king could not speak. ”
"No, Your Royal Highness King Shuo, you can!"
His gaze became more discerning, as if in order to accentuate his tone, Lu Dongzan added another sentence: "And on the bank of the Yak River, Sun 'Bo' Wangcheng and a piece of 47,256 people all died because of His Highness, Dongzan didn't come to find His Highness, who else to find?" ”
"Nonsense!" Li Jie immediately changed his color, stood up violently, and was about to leave with a flick of his sleeves angrily, Lu Dongzan hurriedly greeted him with a haha: "King Shuo, don't worry, why don't you let Dongzan analyze it for His Highness?" ”
"I'm afraid His Royal Highness has learned about what the prince is planning from Dongzan's unburned secret letter last time, right?" Shaking his head and shaking his head, Lu Dongzan said slowly, making Li Jie's body stiffen, and he turned around and sat back again, looking at Li Jie's helpless face, Lu Dongzan's chubby face also had a hint of a victorious smile, who made him too miserable by Li Jie last time.
"What the prince is plotting, relying on nothing more than a secret word, the prince and His Royal Highness are not in harmony, the rebellion is known to His Royal Highness, the probability of success is less than half a layer, and then mixed with the prince, it is definitely looking for death, once the East Window incident happens, I Tubo will fight with the Tang Dynasty again, so the prince can only be an enemy, not a friend."
"And my fourth brother, Li Tai, King of Wei, hasn't Lu Xiang already cooperated with my fourth brother?" Li Jie asked again with blazing eyes on Lu Dongzan, but he didn't expect the old guy to laugh, and he laughed and waved his hand as if he had heard what a joke.
"His Royal Highness relies on the King of Wei, the King of Wei is not reliable, His Royal Highness knows it, why bother to embarrass Dongzan again?"
"Even so, there are many nobles in Chang'an, what is Lu Xiang looking for me to do as an idle king?" Picked up the wine glass again and shook it, only to remember that there was no wine, Li Jie asked sullenly.
"Haha, His Royal Highness King Shuo is too humble." Still laughing with Zhizhu in his hand, Lu Dongzan crossed his fingers and analyzed: "His Royal Highness King Shuo, you are not idle, on the contrary, I have analyzed for a long time, and in the future political situation of the Tang Dynasty will be a pivotal figure in the next thirty years." ”
"Once the crown prince is deposed, the king of Wei, who seems to be proud of the 'spring' wind, is actually not long proud, he is too arrogant, and he has offended too many important ministers, even His Majesty the Heavenly Khan has to consider the impact, then the most likely to get the crown prince's throne is His Royal Highness Li Ke, King of Wu, and Li Zhi, the tenth prince of Jin, the former and His Royal Highness's 'milk' compatriots, have deep feelings, and the latter, the Great Mercy and Grace Temple and the Great Mercy and Grace Temple of Jin Xingfang Even if I, a person from the west, are like thunder, no matter who it is, His Royal Highness will be valued."
"Besides, in the 'chaos' rebellion of the crown prince, His Royal Highness will definitely not let go of seeking some benefits, and there is another point, I am afraid that His Royal Highness will not entrust others to clean up the 'chaos' situation in the northwest that His Highness has stabbed."
After speaking, Lu Dongzan stopped talking with a smile, and Li Jie shook his head completely helplessly, he never thought that a foreigner would actually think about several influential figures in the court so thoroughly, well, Li Jie himself can barely be regarded as a popular figure, after thinking about it, Li Jie also poked his head out meaningfully, stared at Lu Dongzan's fat face and smiled.
"Then why can Prime Minister Lu be sure that this king will be on your side this time?"
"Because the Prime Minister and His Highness already have the possibility of cooperation!" This time, Lu Dongzan's face quickly turned into regret and pain, and he leaned back and leaned back on the back of the chair full of pain.
"The last time His Royal Highness's parting words, Lu Dongzan is still in his heart, for His Royal Highness's words, now there are 50,000 Tubo soldiers spilled their blood on the battlefield, Tubo has lost half of its troops, and now it can be clearly become a weak country, Zhangxiong is under the Tang Anxi Protectorate, the strength and weakness of the momentum change, I believe that His Royal Highness does not want the Silk Road to be threatened."
"Your Highness's wisdom, I believe that after today's comparison, you should also know that compared with those Zhangxiong who believe in Bon and believe in stupidity, we Tubo are more rational and can communicate, and after the next difficulty, even if Tubo and Zhangxiong start a war, there will be no victory or defeat in twenty or thirty years, at this time, supporting Tubo is more beneficial to the Tang Dynasty than supporting Zhangxiong."
"Haha, Lu Xiang is Lu Xiang, and he is still crying in the court, but at this time he wants to annex Xiangxiong." Laughing and clapping his hands and standing up, Li Jie bent down even more proudly and asked, "What if this king still chooses not to cooperate with Lu Xiang?" ”
"Then, you'll have to use some means." Lu Dongzan immediately said sullenly, his eyes flashed, and Li Jie still smiled and said, "I want to hear it." ”
"It is estimated that Zhangxiong's promise that the prince would send thousands of people to 'mix' into Chang'an in various ways will not be able to frighten King Shuo."
The first sentence made Li Jie's eyes beat violently, no wonder the prince helped Zhangxiong so hard, and did not hesitate to go into battle shirtless, so he saw that he was about to do it, without waiting for Li Jie to think about it carefully, Lu Dongzan's next words almost didn't let him squirt.
"Therefore, after I discussed with my lord, I bought a large number of cotton 'flower' seeds in the Western Regions, and planned to sow a large number of them in the arid Shannan next year, and now His Highness's cotton 'flower' raw materials are imported into the Western Regions in large quantities, and the planting amount in Longyou Guanzhong is still very small, I believe that if a large number of cotton 'flower' raw materials pour into the Tang Dynasty, His Highness's allies of the Cotton Textile Guild will also 'force' His Highness to compromise, right?"
"You're ruthless!" It is indeed the power of a country, in the face of this power Li Jie is also powerless, who let him not have enough place to solve the problem of cotton 'flower' yield, depressed for a moment, but Li Jie reluctantly went out to get a jar of wine, in Lu Dongzan's searching gaze, first poured a glass of wine for this fat old man in Tubo, and then filled it himself, then shook the wine glass and said weakly.
"Lu Xiang, since the business is over, then let's continue to drink with peace of mind!"
"Okay, it's still King Shuo's refreshment!" Overjoyed, Lu Dongzan immediately drank the wine heroically, and then took the initiative to give Li Jie a full meal, the guest and the host were happy, and the wine was over three rounds of dishes and five flavors, Li Jie still couldn't help but ask curiously: "Lu Xiang, there is another thing that the king does not know." ”
"Is this really that important? So that Lu Xiang can even sacrifice a full 50,000 'sex' lives at one time? ”
"Not really." As soon as he mentioned this, Lu Dongzan's round red face turned depressed again into a purple eggplant, and he patted his head speechlessly and sighed: "Originally, on the banks of the Yak River, my lord only planned to send the disobedient soldiers of the Lu clan to death after the four guards made a good start, and the death of a few thousand to the next generation of His Royal Highness, and put some pressure on Datang, who knew that the group of elephant male barbarians suddenly opened their minds and knew how to use yaks to break the ice." ”
"Thirty-five thousand! That is the most loyal to Zampu's 'elite' troops, after this defeat, almost every family in the city wears filial piety, everyone cries bitterly, damn Xiangxiong barbarian! Pinching the wine glass, Lu Dongzan's crazy brain 'door' muscles burst out, but Li Jie finally endured the smile.
It's really funny, the powerful Tubo is 'forced' to cry and call his mother, the reason is just that his little Colombian butterfly wings inadvertently flapped, if Lu Dongzan was Li Jie's idea, I don't know if he would sit here so harmoniously and play so well with Li Jie.
Holding back his shoulders trembling, Li Jie hurriedly filled Lu Dongzan's wine glass again, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Come, Lu Xiang, forget about those unpleasantness, I believe that our cooperation will be more glorious tomorrow!" Ha ha. ”
"Okay, it's still King Shuo's arrogance, do it!" There is no doubt that there is him, Lu Dongzan also exhaled a breath and raised the wine glass high, the wine glasses touched together crisply, and in the laughter, the two enemies of life and death came together like this......
