Chapter 20: Boasting

After three bows and nine bows, Lu Dongzan raised his eyes unconsciously and looked at Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who was sitting on the throne.

In his imagination, this emperor who was born in his career should be majestic and murderous, but Tang Taizong, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe on the throne, wore a crown on his head, had deep eyes and a high nose, two beards on his lips were slightly curled, the beautiful mane on his chin was more than an inch long, and his face was neatly trimmed.

As if sensing his gaze, Tang Taizong glanced at Lu Dongzan.

That glance was daunting.

Lu Dongzan quickly lowered his head, and his heart was dark.

Before, he asked people to investigate, and they all said that the appearance of the Son of Heaven was handsome and mighty, and after the officials saw it, they often only bowed to the order and listened to the order, and some were so frightened that they couldn't speak, even the ministers who had followed him for many years would sweat nervously when he was angry, and behave at a loss, and thought that the Tang people were exaggerating, but they didn't expect to be in it, and they had the same feelings.

The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and the previous pleasant face was just a kind of appeasement from the superior to the people below.

Lu Dongzan was a little cautious in his heart, and he was even more sure that Tubo's policy of friendship and good-neighborliness with the Tang Dynasty was very correct, and such a strong man should not be an enemy of him.

This time, he will definitely help Zan Pu marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty.

Although he is a native of Tubo, Lu Dongzan understands very well the truth that the near rich is expensive, and the rich are rich, and the Tubo and the Tang Dynasty married, became friends, and became relatives, and the benefits are innumerable.

After Tang Taizong said a few kind words to welcome the arrival of the vassal states, the envoys of various countries came to meet and present their gifts in turn.

After the envoys of Tianzhu presented gifts, said that Tianzhu is the birthplace of Buddhism, the Son of Heaven sent the monk Xuanzang to learn scriptures in the third year of Zhenguan, if the princess is married, they will copy all the Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures, all copy a copy and send it to the Tang Dynasty, as a dowry gift to the princess.

The envoys of the Great Food boasted of their wealth, saying that the King of Wealth was rich in the world, and that if they could promise the princess to the King of Wealth, the Great Food would fill a hundred cabins with pearls and precious stones to marry the princess.

Gesa's envoy Kong Wu is powerful, half a head taller than ordinary people, he humbly said that he and Gesa Wu Wang competed, just like a child without the power of the chicken, their king fought in all directions, often won undefeated, if the princess married the heroic warrior king, will give birth to a god-like son, Gesa and the Tang Dynasty marriage, strong and invincible.

Another deputy envoy of Bai Da Hoer stepped forward and apologized to the chief envoy for not being able to come to the audience because he was ill, and then praised the handsome and chic king of the beautiful city with all kinds of beautiful words, saying that how many girls fell in love with their prince at first sight, and that the princess would be able to get along with each other and be happy for a hundred years when she married, and that the harmony between husband and wife is better than gold, silver, jewelry, ten thousand Buddhist scriptures, and martial arts and swords...... For parents, the happiness of their children is the greatest wish, and the Son of Heaven must have the same idea.

Although his words were suspected of moral kidnapping, as the Son of Heaven, Tang Taizong could not say that the happiness of the princess was not important, so in front of everyone, he still smiled and nodded.

Of course, from the way he nodded, it was impossible to see who he really agreed with, after all, when Tianzhu, Da Shi and Gesa's envoys spoke in front of him, he also nodded so kindly.

After Lu Dongzan met and presented the gift, Fang Xuanling, the minister of Tang Taizong's humerus and the young master of the crown prince, asked with a smile: "Tianzhu has Buddhist scriptures, Dashi has treasures, Gesha has force, Baida Hall has beauty, you Tubo dare to ask for marriage to the Tang Dynasty again and again, your king must be different, right?" ”

Hey, this is dissatisfied with the fact that Tubo dared to fight with the Tang Dynasty before, and the question is coming.
