"That's a difficult question. Five hundred horses, who can tell the difference? ”

"Yes, if you divide them according to their fur and appearance, you can tell some of them, but after all, there are five hundred horses, and there are many of them with similar fur and appearance, how can you tell the difference?"

"Your Majesty has issued a strict order not to allow this Tubo Great Argument Lu Dongzan to divide the wrong horse. If you make a mistake, Your Majesty will punish you severely. In my opinion, this Tubo Great Treatise on Lu Dongzan is in great trouble this time. ”

"This Tubo Da Lu Dongzan is very smart and resourceful, maybe people have a solution to this problem?"

"It's hard for me to see it, these are five hundred mares, five hundred ponies, if you want to find the right one, I can't help it when I look at Lu Dongzan."

After some contemplation, Lu Dongzan stood up and asked the five hundred mares and five hundred meters of ponies to be separated, and asked the five hundred ponies to be driven to a place where there was no grass, and let them play freely. Two and a half hours later, the ponies were hungry and neighing. Then Lu Dongzan had five hundred mares and five hundred ponies come together again, and the ponies galloped away to their mothers because they were hungry.

When all the ponies were snuggled up to their mothers, Lu Dongzan said to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, according to Your Majesty's orders, the minister has found their respective mothers for the five hundred ponies, please check them." ”

The Tang Emperor Li Shimin's face suddenly turned gloomy, he didn't expect Lu Dongzan to use this method to distinguish the respective mothers of the ponies and complete the difficult problem he raised.

Li Xuan looked at the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, he knew what Li Shimin was thinking. Li Shimin got up in the army, and he was extremely strong, but the practice of Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo relied on war to fight the dignity of Tubo. Playing the Tang Dynasty's attention to Tubo, now, Songtsen Gampo's plan is very successful, and everything is developing according to Songtsen Gampo's plan, but this makes Tang Emperor Li Shimin feel very uncomfortable in his heart. In order to get out of the evil breath in his chest, Li Shimin racked his brains. It took a lot of effort to come up with three problems, and it was difficult to find Lu Dongzan, the Tubo Great Treatise on behalf of Tubo Zanpu Songtsan Gampo, but what he didn't expect was that this Tubo Great Treatise Lu Dongzan was so smart that he actually solved all the three problems he raised. Marry the princess now, Li Shimin is uncomfortable in his heart, but don't marry the princess. Tubo will definitely continue to make trouble, and he has also opened Chrysostom and agreed. Li Xuan guessed that Li Shimin must have felt very embarrassed in his heart.

So, Li Xuan opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, Tubo Lu Dongzan has perfectly solved the three problems raised by Your Majesty, and it is time for Your Majesty to fulfill his promise?" ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Xuan in surprise and thought about it for a while. Said slowly: "Okay, Lu Dongzan." I will allow my princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty to marry you to Tubo. ”

In Taiji Palace, in the study of Tang Emperor Li Shimin, Li Shimin and Li Xuan sat opposite each other.

Li Shimin said to Li Xuan: "King Yong'an, why did you choose to support marrying my princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty to Tubo Zanpu Songtsan Gampo?" ”

Li Xuan replied: "Your Majesty, through the battle of Songzhou, my Tang Dynasty saw the martial bravery of the Tubo soldiers; From today's three problems. I, Datang, saw the plot of Tubo and Lu Dongzan; These people are all the subordinates of Songtsen Gampo of Tubo Zanpu, and Songtsen Gampo can reuse these people, which shows that Songtsen Gampo is at least a monarch who is all-round in civil and military affairs and knows how to make good use of people. With such a wise monarch as Zampu's Tubo, if I can marry them in the Tang Dynasty. Then I, Datang, can have one more reinforcement in the southwest to stabilize the situation in the entire southwest. If I break the contract in Datang, then I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to be peaceful in the southwest of Datang. Moreover, with the marriage of my Tang Princess Wencheng to Tubo, my Tang Dynasty can also take the opportunity to take the Tubo that my Chinese civilization has spread, and I can also let the capable ministers and strategists go with Princess Wencheng to establish a friendly force for my Tang Dynasty above the Tubo court, so as to completely ensure the friendly relationship between my Tang Dynasty and Tubo. ”

The Tang Emperor nodded yes.

Soon Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty married Tubo.

Princess Wencheng's name is Li Xueyan, the daughter of the Li Tang clan, when she married Tubo, Tubo Zanpu Songtsan Gampo personally went to Baihai (now Maduo, Qinghai) to greet her.

When Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, the team was very large, and the dowry given by Li Shimin, the Tang Emperor who advocated "a marriage is equivalent to 100,000 male soldiers", was also very rich: there were Buddha statues of Sakyamuni, treasures, gold and jade bookcases, 360 volumes of classics, and various gold and jade ornaments; There are a variety of cooking foods, brocade cushions with various patterns and patterns, and 300 kinds of divination classics; There are 60 kinds of works on the identification of good and evil, construction and engineering techniques, 100 kinds of prescriptions for curing diseases, 4 kinds of medical treatises, 5 kinds of diagnostic methods, 6 kinds of medical devices, and also carry various grains and turnip (wujing) seeds. There were also many scribes, musicians, and agricultural technicians.

Among them, the twelve-year-old Buddha statue of Sakyamuni was a peerless masterpiece at that time, and was respected as the treasure of the town by Tibet.

Legend has it that when the founder of Buddhism, Shakyamuni Buddha, was alive, he was very opposed to idol worship and did not set up temples to offer statues. When Shakyamuni Buddha was dying, Shakyamuni Buddha agreed to build three life-size statues according to his appearance when he was eight, twelve, and twenty-five years old, and personally blessed them, and among them, the twelve-year-old statues were the most exquisitely made, and the carvings were vivid and lifelike.

The crop seeds, craftsmen, and technicians brought by Princess Wencheng also greatly changed the old customs of Tubo and introduced Chinese civilization to Tubo, and in the upper echelons of Tubo, there was also a strong pro-Tang force, who worshiped the Tang Dynasty and was close to the Tang Dynasty, and made great efforts to stabilize the relationship between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty.

In later generations, Li Xuan heard that Princess Wencheng's marriage to Tubo was a very disadvantageous thing for the Tang Dynasty, and after the Tubo people learned the culture of the Tang Dynasty, they repeatedly plundered the Central Plains and bullied the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, Li Xuan knew that Princess Wencheng's marriage to Tubo was actually a very beneficial thing for both Tubo and the Tang Dynasty. Since Princess Wencheng married Tubo, the relationship between Datang and Tubo has always been very good, but there are also some frictions and wars in the middle, but those frictions and wars are very few things, the relationship between Datang and Tubo has always been very good, in addition to Princess Wencheng marrying, and later Princess Jincheng of the Tang Dynasty also married Tubo, and the relationship between the two countries is good, so it can be seen.

In addition, Tubo existed independently before the Tang Dynasty, and this country was not introduced in the history books at all, and Tubo did not have any contact with any Central Plains country, but after Princess Wencheng married Tubo, Tubo was repeatedly mentioned in Chinese history books, and was considered a part of China, and was the people of China.
