Back at the post house, the Seventh Prince went directly to Qin Daochuan's room, Qin Daochuan followed him into the door, and without waiting for him to sit down, he asked, "Have you seen the Lu family?" ”

When Qingyun heard this, he immediately closed the door and stood guard outside the door.

The Seventh Prince turned around and said in surprise, "Lu Clan? ”

Qin Daochuan looked at him quietly.

The Seventh Prince suddenly realized: "Oh, Qingzhou Lu Clan. I've seen it in the ten-mile long pavilion, does it count? ”

Qin Daochuan said: "This is the best. ”

The Seventh Prince said with a smile: "Now it seems that it is not that she is unwilling to come out, but that you have hidden her." ”

Qin Daochuan said with a straight face: "She is my Qin Daochuan's original main house, please respect yourself." ”

The Seventh Prince bowed his hand to Qin Daochuan and said, "Daochuan, forgive me for drinking two more cups, and I apologize here." ”

After speaking, he found a chair and sat down, and said, "Don't blame me, your refusal today is too abrupt, which makes people have to think about it." ”

Qin Daochuan said coldly: "I don't like women sent to the door. ”

The Seventh Prince was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Touching his nose, he looked at Qin Daochuan, and said for a long time: "I have something I want to ask you, explain in advance, it has nothing to do with what I just said, don't think about it." ”

Qin Daochuan said: "As long as it has nothing to do with private affairs, the prince can command." ”

The Seventh Prince cleared his throat and said, "I want to marry the daughter of the King of Tubo." ”

Qin Daochuan looked at him and didn't speak.

The Seventh Prince continued, "But I'm not sure which one I'm going to marry, so I'm here to ask you." ”

Qin Daochuan said: "I'm not familiar with Tubo, but if the prince asks the two princesses today, he will know a little bit about it." The older one was born to the first wife of the king of Tubo, and his uncle was the national abbot, and his maternal grandfather's family was quite powerful in Tubo. The younger one was born to the favorite concubine of the king of Tubo, and she was the most favored by the king of Tubo, and she also had a brother, who was the third son of the king of Tubo, but because the first two brothers had died of illness, he was also the eldest son, and he was currently leading troops on the front line, waiting for an order from the king of Tubo. ”

When the Seventh Prince heard this, he shook his head and said, "Daochuan, this is the real Qin Daochuan, he has never said a word, and he doesn't want to say a word." ”

Qin Daochuan said to the door: "Qingyun, serve tea." ”

The Seventh Prince then asked, "You tell me bluntly, with my current situation, who is the most advantageous to marry?" ”

Qin Daochuan replied: "It's all right." ”

The Seventh Prince looked at him helplessly, and at this time, Qingyun knocked on the door and came in, silently set up the tea bowl, and hurriedly retreated, because Qin Daochuan's eyes on him were really a little infiltrating.

After Qingyun went out, the Seventh Prince continued to ask, "Why?" ”

Qin Daochuan drank a cup of tea and said, "Qingyun's craftsmanship hasn't grown for ten years. ”

Qingyun outside the door thought to himself, your own lady can't control it, what kind of anger can you take me.

The Seventh Prince then asked, "I never hide my thoughts from you, and although I don't ask you to help me, you don't have to hide so far. ”

Qin Daochuan said: "To tell the truth, Uncle Guo's power in Tibet is better than that of the right minister." But the prince's uncle is a famous Tibetan general, and his maternal grandfather's family has been brave and good at fighting for generations, and there are many generals. “

The Seventh Prince said calmly: "No matter how powerful the army is, I can't take a foreign army to grab the throne for me, wouldn't I become a traitor to my ancestors." It seems that it is still suitable for the uncle of the country, and money knows no borders. ”

Qin Daochuan drank tea and was silent.

The Seventh Prince stood up and said, "Brother Daochuan, thank you!" ”

After saying that, Qin Daochuan stood up and saluted back, and said, "I can only help you get here, what I think in my heart, you also understand." ”

The Seventh Prince said, "If you can do it, it will be as you wish." ”

Qin Daochuan replied: "Thank you, the seventh prince." ”

Out of Qin Daochuan's door, the Seventh Prince turned his head to look at Qingyun, and only after returning to the room did he ask, "Why does he have an opinion about you?" ”

Qingyun thought to himself, it's not because you are too talkative. replied: "He did his own sin, and now he regrets it, so he can only be angry with me." ”

The Seventh Prince looked at him coldly and said, "Taking a wife and marrying a virtuous man, the upper beam of the He Mansion is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and it is normal for him to regret it." Just like me, don't you regret it now? ”

Qingyun knelt down on one knee and said, "My subordinates have lost their words, please punish the prince." ”

The Seventh Prince waved his hand and said, "It's all helpless people." ”

On the second day, when the Seventh Prince saw Wudongzan again, he took the initiative to put forward the purpose of his trip, hoping that Tubo could stop the dispersal of the horses and return peace to the two countries.

Wu Dongzan listened, but he was noncommittal, and the Seven Princes were not in a hurry, but from Zhang Qian in the previous dynasty to Ban Chao, and then from Chang Hui to Mrs. Feng, the meaning of the words was that he didn't mind living in Tibet for a long time.

Wu Dongzan was slightly moved when he heard this, and at this time Uncle Guo said: "It seems that the Seventh Prince has fallen in love with us in Tibet, so why not stay here and start a family?" ”

The Seventh Prince replied with a smile: "That dare is good, since coming to Tibet, this prince feels that the women of Tibet are heroic and cool, compared with the women of the Eastern Continent, they are more bold and bold, and less twisted, and they are very excited." ”

Uncle Guo smiled and said, "Oh, if so, how about the old man recommend himself as a matchmaker?" ”

The Seventh Prince smiled: "Then thank you Uncle Guo for the beauty of perfection." ”

Wu Dongzan listened, and his face was cloudy.

Back at the post house, Honglu Siqing couldn't help but ask: "Seventh prince, do you really want to marry a Tibetan woman?" ”

The Seventh Prince replied: "Why not, as long as I can complete the mission given to me by my father, don't say that I am marrying one, even if I marry ten or eight." ”

Honglu Siqing couldn't cry or laugh.

The seventh prince went to Qin Daochuan's room again, sighed and said: "How is this good, my father didn't give me any instructions, and the gifts I brought were already given when we met, and now I am empty-handed, and I don't have anything that the king of Tubo wants, but now there is only one procrastination, I'm afraid I really want to stay in Tubo as a son-in-law." ”

Qin Daochuan said: "Why not. ”

The Seventh Prince glanced at him with a sigh and said, "Haven't you always been like an arrow?" What is Joe with me now? ”

Qin Daochuan replied: "Even so, things must be done well." ”

The Seventh Prince said, "How to do it? ”

Qin Daochuan replied: "Think about what I told you yesterday. ”

The Seventh Prince stood up, wandering around the low room, Qin Daochuan ignored him, just closed his eyes and recuperated, the Seventh Prince suddenly stopped and said: "Blame me for being stupid, I didn't expect this layer, no wonder Uncle Guo mentioned that I would stay in Tibet for a long time, Wu Dongzan's face changed, it turned out that the world was as black as a crow, and this Tubo was the same as my dynasty." ”

Qin Daochuan opened his eyes and looked at him.

The Seventh Prince continued to say excitedly: "The army is outside, and food and grass are very important. You say, does Uncle Guo want to trap the prince's army on the border, just waiting for the harsh winter to come, and the army will freeze and starve to death? ”

Qin Daochuan replied: "That's not it. ”

The Seventh Prince said unceremoniously: "I am not as good as you in the affairs of the soldiers, and now it seems that I am not as good as you in the affairs of power and conspiracy." Dare to ask your Excellency what you think, and I hope to thank you for your advice. ”

Qin Daochuan said: "Tubo is different from our dynasty, the power is in the hands of Wudongzan, and the matter of grain and grass cannot be suppressed by Uncle Guo. ”

The Seventh Prince nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that Wudongzan still has to be dealt with." ”

Qin Daochuan nodded.

The Seventh Prince said: "That uncle just wants to recommend his niece." ”

Qin Daochuan looked at him with a smile.

The Seventh Prince smiled and said, "Actually, I don't know why they take a fancy to me, a prince who is not worthy of the name. ”

Qin Daochuan said: "You are a genuine prince, Tubo is no longer the Tubo of the previous dynasty, and it is a good thing to get married to the Eastern Continent, not to mention the prince who came to the door?" ”

The Seventh Prince said, "Then you mean that you want me to be patient? ”

Qin Daochuan said: "Didn't you pave the way in the early stage? ”

The Seventh Prince smiled and said: "It's just a helpless move, it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice." If I can call the shots, I will negotiate trade with Tibet, and the two countries will have trade exchanges, so why worry about things not being possible. ”

Qin Daochuan said: "Then the prince should let go of his patience." ”

The Seventh Prince nodded and said, "I really don't like the climate and food here. ”

Qin Daochuan looked at him and said meaningfully, "How is that good?" ”

The Seventh Prince said, "It's nothing compared to what I thought. ”

Qin Daochuan accompanied him for a long time, thinking that it would be good to push this errand in the future, he couldn't be the master at all, he listened to others for his speed and slowness, look at this driving style, when and what month can he return to the capital, and if it is later, I am afraid that the sixth child will have to run on the ground.

The two sides were in a stalemate for several days, and the first snow of the winter fell in Tibet. The envoys who did not bring winter clothes were all covered with Tibetan fur, and if they did not look carefully, they were no different from the Tibetan people.

Qin Daochuan is tall but not obvious, the Seventh Prince is of medium stature, wearing thick fur and a plush fur hat, which looks much rounder. Honglu Siqing has already returned to his heart like an arrow, and has repeatedly urged the Seven Princes to sign a document with Tubo as soon as possible, so that he can return to China early and catch up with the New Year.

The Seventh Prince said: "My father handed over such an important errand to me, I must do it well, I must not lose the dignity of my dynasty, nor can I be too strong, I must convince people with virtue." ”

Honglu Temple Qing complained bitterly.

On this day, the Seven Princes and their entourage went to see the King of Tubo by appointment, and after a few polite words from the King of Tubo, Wudong said: "Can the Seven Princes adapt to the weather today?" ”

The Seventh Prince replied: "Thank you for your concern, it's okay to put on your fur." ”

Wu Dongzan said: "Pity my son, he is still suffering at the border, and I don't know when I will be able to come back for the winter." ”

The Seventh Prince said: "Could it be that Xixia is at war again? ”

Wu Dongzan shook his head and said: "I was gullible and wanted to regain the land that Western Xia took from my ancestors, but who knew that Western Xia did not fight with me at all, making my division unknown, and now I am in a dilemma. ”

The seventh prince said: "The so-called two armies are not cut off when they are fighting, why don't the king send someone to discuss with the Western Xia." ”

Wu Dongzan said: "I am dignified in Tibet, how can I be soft in front of the small country of Western Xia. ”

The Seventh Prince said, "Does the king have a good plan? ”

Wu Dongzan said: "I have something to ask the prince for help, but I really can't open my mouth. ”

The Seventh Prince said, "The king said that it doesn't hurt. ”

Wu Dongzan said: "General Qin in the prince's mission has always been friendly with Western Xia, and he also helped Western Xia regain the throne of the grassland for Tuvar last time. ”

The Seventh Prince looked back at Qin Daochuan, Qin Daochuan understood, and said: "Let the border stop fighting forever, and let the two countries turn war into jade silk, Qin is willing to take on this responsibility, but the king still needs to send someone to Fang Xian to show respect." ”

Wu Dongzan smiled easily and said, "That's nature. ”
