Chapter 45: Refusal

Seeing that his thoughts were exposed by Lu Dongzan, Li Yuntong showed a stunned expression, "No, how good it is to be a man, you can play around, you can be a dog and fight a horse, you can have three wives and four concubines, you can make contributions...... How can it be like us women, who are not married to their fathers, but who are married to their husbands, and whose husbands are dead to their sons, and who are not able to be autonomous all their lives. ”

"That's not necessarily, if you have the heart, women can also make contributions, just like right now that you are with your relatives in Tibet, the border land is therefore peaceful, and the soldiers are stopped. Tang and Tibetan marriage, not only to strengthen the friendly exchanges between our two countries, cultural exchanges, closer relations with each other, to help the Tibetan people improve their lives, the most important thing is that the border between the two countries is peaceful from now on, the people live and work in peace and contentment, this is a great merit, Tang and Tibetan history books, will be written for you to write a stroke, your achievements will forever in the annals of history, a hundred generations. ”

"Eagles love to fly high, horses love to run far away, Her Royal Highness the princess is a person with great ambitions, naturally Bichen understands this truth." Lu Dongzan stood up and bowed respectfully to Li Yuntong, "Thank you Princess Gaoyi for the people of Tubo, you have given up the comfort and comfort of the Tang Dynasty and brought happiness and stability to us in Tubo like that auspicious bird, and the people of Tubo will always thank you......"

Seeing that Lu Dongzan admired him, Li Yuntong smiled embarrassedly, "How can it be as good as you say, there is no need to praise the prime minister, I am also chasing ducks to the shelves, and I have to do it as a last resort......"

"Anyway, Her Royal Highness the princess is willing to agree to marry Tubo, which is the blessing of my Tubo people, not to mention that you are knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and versatile, and bring so many good things to the Tang Dynasty for our people to learn and benefit...... If the people knew that they were going to be blessed with such a good Zanmeng as you, they would have to wake up laughing even from a dream. ”

Touching his beard, Lu Dong praised: "But right now, there is one more thing to ask the princess for help, the minister saw all kinds of farm tools made by the blacksmith shop a few days ago, I have never seen them in Tubo, if you can bring two pieces of each, and then there are craftsmen who can forge farm tools to follow, the people of Tubo will be able to grow more crops like the Tang Dynasty, eat enough, and no longer be displaced...... I'm afraid that even the cattle and sheep will starve to death and freeze to death. ”

was stunned by Lu Dongzan's boasting, Li Yuntong agreed, "This shouldn't be a problem, the Son of Heaven is benevolent, has always attached importance to farming, and said that the people can only be safe when they are full, and there is enough grain and grass in Tubo, so there is no need to hunt grass everywhere in the famine season and harass the neighbors, so it is a good thing for everyone to be in the world, and the Son of Heaven should agree." ”

When she returned to the mansion, she realized that she had been fooled by Lu Dongzan again, obviously she was going to laugh at the other party, but the topic turned around to her side, so that Lu Dongzan achieved her goal again.

"Hmph, what's the use of fooling me, the Son of Heaven has issued an edict, you don't have to be obedient."

The hatred in his heart was itching, and when he said this, Li Yuntong felt a little better in his heart.

Sure enough, Tang Taizong soon met with Lu Dongzan.

Xu was because this was a private edict, and Lu Dongzan followed the white-shirted chamberlain into the big flower hall of the inner palace.

After Lu Dongzan Shiliping, who was wearing a Tubo court dress, Tang Taizong sat on his chariot in the circle of palace maids, and said with blazing eyes: "Lu Aiqing, I intend to decree that the daughter of the eldest princess of Langxi, my niece, be allowed to marry you, what do you think?" ”

Lu Dongzan hurriedly excused himself: "Horses love grasslands, eagles love mountains, people love hometowns, sheep love pens." There is a woman in the minister's country, I am a young husband and wife with her, the supreme minister of the heavenly khan should have accepted it, but the minister is unwilling to abandon the old woman, and Zampu has not told the princess, and the courtier dares to take it? He also hoped that the Khan would take back his fate. ”

Tang Taizong's eyes showed a hint of narrowness, "You can take care of the old people, it can be seen that you are a loving and righteous person." It's just that the eldest princess of Langxie is my fourth sister, her daughter is very willful, she loves your talent, and if you don't marry, I can't do anything about it. If she refuses to change her mind, I can only fulfill her heart, or else, I will die. ”

Lu Dongzan arched his hand and said: "Please rest assured, the little girl is just a momentary sexual condition, and after a few days, she will be distracted by other things, and she will naturally forget about it." ”

Hearing Lu Dongzan say that he would find a way to make Duan Jianbi change his mind, Tang Taizong nodded with satisfaction, he didn't really want to marry a Tang noble girl to a Tubo person, but he just used this matter to test whether Lu Dongzan was attached to the person of Ronghua, and by the way, let Lu Dongzan come out, which made Duan Jianbi die.

After all, no matter how much they obstructed it, it was not as effective as Lu Dongzan's own refusal.

Tang Taizong smiled and approved: "Okay, then I will wait for Lu Aiqing's good news, if you can make my niece change her mind happily, I will definitely be rewarded." ”
