Chapter 96: Strife

Dawu was a slave girl who warmed the bed in the Songtsen Gampo tent, and the words of this Tibetan warrior were already very disrespectful.

Without waiting for others to persuade him, Noamo, who was laughing with his companions on the other fire, listened, stood up and walked over, walked up to him, and punched him so that his nose bloomed, "Tota, what nonsense are you talking about, Your Royal Highness the princess is also something you can talk about?" ”

Tota wiped a handful of blood from his face, only to feel a golden flower in front of him, he staggered to his feet, and pounced on Noamo, "Damn black fat man, you dare to hit me, what are you?" It's just that I learned a few words of Tang dialect and got a big blue eye, so I had this errand, and the black slaves of the Karma family dare to bully me? ”

The two of them fought, and there were people who were coaxing, helping, jumping and clapping and cheering, and for a while, the chickens and dogs in the Tubo camp jumped.

By the time Lu Dongzan and Gong Dun rushed over when they knew the news, the camp was already in a mess.

"Presumptuous," after hearing the reason, Gong Dun took the lead in speaking, reprimanding Tota, who had been beaten into black corns and had a nosebleed, "The princess is the future Zanmeng of our Tubo, how can you talk about it casually?" When have I ever said something like that, and you have the audacity to make it up? If you don't get down, you will be punished with five lashes. ”

Tota had been more than half awake at this time, and when he heard Gongton say this, Nono didn't dare to speak, so he covered his nose and screamed and walked out.

Lu Dongzan asked someone to stop him, and said to Gong Dun: "Five whips, don't Vice Minister Gong Dun think it's less?" ”

"Five whips is a lot, and if you fight more, I'm afraid it will affect his horseback." Gong Dun smiled at Lu Dongzan, who was blushing, and said, "Besides, they just said a few drunken words, don't take it seriously, let's go, Daxiang, let's continue to eat ours." ”

"Drunk?" Lu Dongzan snorted coldly, "It is the wind that provokes the broom, and it is also the wind that provokes the crow, and he pulls the bow and shoots the arrow but he doesn't know where the arrow flies?" What kind of crime is this to talk about the princess in vain and destroy Tang Fan's friendship? A drunken word, forget it? ”

"What does it mean?" Gong Dun said embarrassedly: "They came to Datang with the prime minister to marry the princess, it has been more than a year since they left home, the princess is squeamish, and the road is delayed from time to time, we arrived in Datang in four months, and this time we went back to walk for more than nine months before passing through Shanzhou (now Xining, Qinghai), from one winter to another winter and have not returned home." ”

He pouted and said: "If you look at it this way, I am afraid that they will not be able to reach Luojiao (present-day Lhasa) for a year, and they are anxious, and it is inevitable that they will say a few words of complaining." I know that there are many rules, but the rules are like a knot of silk, and the strict prohibition should be relaxed. ”

Lu Dongzan frowned and said, "The law of the country is like a golden yoke, which should be spared and severely punished." They talked about the princess in vain today, and if they let it go gently, he didn't know what he would do in the future, how could this be something that could be lifted with five whips? ”

"Tang Fan is friendly, the princess will be the Zanmeng of Tubo in the future, and she will be the queen of our Tubo, how can she be treated so lightly?" He pointed to Noamo, "Even the truth they know, don't the deputy minister understand?" If Tota is talking about Chizun Zhumeng and Concubine Mang, will the deputy minister also treat it as a drunken talk? ”

Gunton was worried that if he disposed of Tota, he would reduce his prestige, so he refused to live or die, and in the end he simply played Lai, "Tota is my person, and I should punish him, he is drunk today, and he will talk about it tomorrow." ”

Lu Dongzan did not forgive, "I am the envoy of the wedding, and I am the prime minister of Tubo, before going out, Zampu said in front of you, I have decided all the reasons, and today Tota must be severely punished for discussing the princess." ”

Sambuza just came over, and when he saw that the two of him were about to clash, he hurriedly whispered to Gong Dun: "If the bird fights with the harrier, it will fly all over the sky." Today's matter is Tota's wrong, even if you have the heart to protect him, you have to divide the severity, Zampu did everything possible to get the Tang princess and our relatives Tubo, if you are disturbed by this matter, see how Zampu punishes you. ”

Gong Dun hesitated, "No matter how noble and white the ewe is, she is also a ewe, will Zampu chill my heart as an old minister for a woman, or a woman of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Sambuza laughed at him, "We Tibetans respect the strong and despise the weak. The mother respects the son, and the son is proud of the father. No matter in or out, the few are in front of the old and the old are in the back. Zampu is now the sun rises in the east, and the old courtiers are the sunset, and being able to give you the position of the deputy prime minister is already Zampu's goodwill, are you embarrassed to rely on the old and sell the old? ”

"As a courtier, the rules that should be followed still have to be followed, do you think which of those courtiers in the Tang Dynasty dares to be unreasonable to the concubine? Zampu has always liked to emulate the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, didn't Basang be whipped to death for making fun of Jumeng that year? This matter is going to get into trouble, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of it, it's better to put a few more whips on Tota, let Daxiang dissipate his anger, and also give Datang an explanation. ”

"Basang is just a royal court guard, how can he compare to me?" Having said that, Gong Dun still reluctantly lowered his head and gave a salute to Lu Dongzan, "Prime minister, I will listen to Sambuza's persuasion today, sell your personal favor, and you will dispose of them." ”

Lu Dongzan also knew that Tota, a Tibetan warrior, was actually Gongton's house slave, Gongton had always been self-sustaining and hard-working, and he did not deal with himself, if he protected it, this lawsuit could only be fought back to Tubo to ask Zampu to decide, and immediately according to military regulations, people smoked Tuota twenty whips, and the rest of those who helped him coax him were each whipped five times.

Although he agreed with Lu Dongzan to deal with Tota, Gong Dun was not convinced, and he was still angry when he returned to the camp, "Gar Dongzan, who eats inside and out, is actually facing the person of the Tang Dynasty." I don't know what kind of good Princess Wencheng gave him, so that he stammered her like that. ”

Sambuza persuaded him, "The princess of the Tang Dynasty married our Tubo, that is, the people of Tubo, you say such things are not conducive to harmony, Tubo has Princess Wencheng, and the Tang Dynasty is like a family, in the future, we will learn Tang etiquette, respect Tang law, wear Tang clothes, although far away in the snowy plateau, but like Chang'an." ”

Gong Dun said dissatisfiedly: "Is that Tibet still Tibet?" Hasn't it become a subsidiary of Datang? I know that Lu Dongzan's little child is uneasy and kind, at first, Zampu was hooked by him to yearn for the Tang Dynasty, and he wanted to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, so for this, how much manpower and material resources were consumed, and a few boxes of light gems were offered. Zampu is young, and he doesn't know the cunning and treachery of the Han people, thinking that they are kind to us by marrying a princess. ”

He sat down and took a sip of milk tea, his face gloomy, "I'm not reluctant to be a house slave, I'm worried that Princess Wencheng will go to the snowy plateau, and Zampu will forget the insults that Datang insulted us when he asked for marriage the first two times." Fleeing with his tail between his legs like a fox, it is better to die like a leopard with a pattern, you look at how many times you ask for marriage, does Datang look arrogant? What do you say about the six difficult marriage envoys, it is clear that they don't take Tubo in their eyes, according to me, they should fight with them, and they are afraid of taking the initiative to offer the princess. ”

"But didn't we defeat it this time? Everyone didn't want to fight anymore, if it weren't for Kunwu and a few people threatening suicide and asking Zampu to call his troops back, Zampu would not have been forced to withdraw his troops and send us to Datang to apologize. As he spoke, Sambuza sighed.

"Since we have defeated, don't say so much, after all, it is far away from our hometown, and it is not a matter if we can't supply food and grass if we fight, but right now, we have to pass through the territory of Tuyuhun, then Princess Honghua and Princess Wencheng are both sisters, if you cry a few words, count the account where we attacked Tuyuhun the year before last, and embarrass us, these thousands of people may not be able to get out."

"How dare he?" Gong Dun took the case, and he dared to embarrass us when his subordinates were defeated? If he is rude to us, we will burn down their tents, rob their women, kill their men, beat him to the ground, and flee like we did the year before. ”

Sambuza pressed his shoulder and said with a smile, "Sit down." Maybe there won't be anything, but the vice minister, you are older than Gar Dongzan and me, and some things should be thought about in advance, that Nuo Haobo has prevented the Tang Dynasty from marrying Tubo in the past, if it weren't for him, maybe we would be able to welcome the princess back for the first time, and now we have to pass through his territory, so we have to be careful, they are sabotage. ”

He picked up his bowl of milk tea and took a sip, "Now what is the big or small thing in the team, it is Gardonzan who has the final say, if something goes wrong here, although he bears the greatest responsibility, but after all, we are the deputy envoys, I am afraid that Zampu will also blame, so we still have to think about everything in front and be cautious." Be good at protecting yourself, so as not to invite disaster. ”

Gong Dun laughed and thought thoughtfully, "That's right, if something happens to the princess in Tuyuhun, Datang will definitely blame, and we will just kill those guys together, so that Tuyuhun will become Tubo's territory from now on." At that time, it was too late for Zampu to be happy, where would he care about anything else? If something really happens, and there is also a tall Gardonzan on top, we will burn salt on the coals and make him crackle. ”

Sambuza picked up a piece of ghee and handed it to him, "You haven't drunk alcohol, what nonsense are you talking about?" I understand the candied fruit of the ear, and I don't understand the wind in the ear. Whatever you hear, it's your own thinking, and I didn't mean that. I am very respectful of the princess who came to Tibet to preach Buddhism, and may the Buddha bless her to come to Tibet safely. ”

"Although the zebra is beautiful, it is difficult to be a good mount." Gongtun glanced at him, sneered, and said, "When you were fifteen years old, you went to Tianzhu to study at the behest of Zanpu, and after seven years of hard work, you studied Sanskrit, grammar, poetics, and Buddhist scriptures...... After coming back, I devoted myself to research for three years before I created our writing, aren't you afraid that Princess Wencheng will come to Tubo, and Zampu will be tempted by her to let us all speak Chinese in Chinese? ”

Sambuza was silent for a long time and said, "Zampu, he won't." ”

"Hmph," said Gonton in a procrastinating tone, "I'm afraid that I want to put it on my head, but my head is bitten by insects!" ”
