Chapter 227: More ruthless than Lu Heng!
Meanwhile.
In the palace, His Majesty Li Er was also busy with his own affairs.
The Tai Chi Hall is still brightly lit in the middle of the night.
Li Shimin looked at the few Tibetan envoys in front of him and was a little surprised.
The envoy at the head is called Lu Dongzan, who is the chief envoy of the Tibetan mission this time, and his speaking level and IQ are higher than the others.
But today, Lu Dongzan is very strange.
Entering the palace in the middle of the night......
"I don't know what your envoys are doing when they come to see me late at night?"
Li Shimin was sitting precariously and asked:
"Do you want to ask for a kiss again?"
It was the only possibility he could think of.
In recent years, Tubo has sent many envoys to the Tang Dynasty to repair, and the border has often encountered the Tang army.
Everybody's impression of this is the same -
A tendon, a shaft!
This time, the mission came to Chang'an City, and told Li Shimin several times that he had not been agreed to ask for marriage, and there was no surprise when he came back in the middle of the night.
But Lu Dongzan shook his head.
He made a Tibetan salute to His Majesty Li Er, leaned over slightly, and was polite.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are not here for this."
"Since Datang has no intention of making peace, it is useless for the ministers to stay in Chang'an, and I am afraid that they will end up with a shameless reputation and not leaving."
"You're right?"
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this.
What do you mean?
Why is this guy suddenly angry?
He frowned and said:
"What do you mean, envoy, that I have not treated your mission with courtesy?"
"Over the past few days, the officials of Honglu Temple have been extremely polite to you, and in addition to being friendly, I have also responded to other things."
"The reason for the discord has also been made clear to you."
"The distance between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty is too far, and the princesses of the right age have already been married."
"If I insist on becoming a princess, it's impossible."
Of course, Lu Dongzan knew that Li Shimin was not telling the truth.
When Zhaojun came out of the fortress, was she the princess of the Han Dynasty? Before she got out of the plug, she was just a palace maid.
If you really want to get married, how can you not find a marriageable woman!
All the reasons are just an excuse for Li Shimin to refuse to make peace with Tubo.
He simply doesn't look down on Tibet.
But Lu Dongzan didn't tear his face now, he just smiled.
"Your Majesty, you are the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, and if you are not in harmony, the foreign ministers naturally cannot force you."
"It's just that the ministers are leaving, so you don't need to stop you, right?"
Li Shimin's eyebrows furrowed a little deeper.
If it had been a few days ago, he would have wished that Lu Dongzan would have gone back to Tibet, so that he would not have to deal with these people.
But now......
He was ready for anything, and he was just one step away.
The other party suddenly changed his mind and wanted to leave.
Isn't that a waste of emotion!
After a moment of silence.
His Majesty Li Er slowly spoke and said:
"I thought that your envoys could stay in Chang'an for a few more days."
"My Tang style, how long have you been here, have you seen it all?"
"If you don't want to stay in Chang'an for a long time, you can also go to other places to see, there are both Qinling Mountains and rivers around here, and the human geography is very different from Tubo, don't you feel a pity to leave?"
Lu Dongzan's face did not change, but he already had doubts in his heart.
Although after they came, Datang did not have anything inconsiderate as Li Shimin said......
But the harmony was rejected, and the other party tried so hard to keep it, which is really weird.
In the gourd of this Tang Emperor, I don't know what kind of medicine is being sold!
But even if he doubted that in the face of Li Shimin's sincere words, it was really difficult to refuse, otherwise it would be too faceless.
Lu Dongzan arched his hand and said:
"Since this is the case, the foreign minister will be disrespectful and bother in Chang'an for a few more days."
"Three days, okay?"
"After three more days of shopping in Chang'an, the ministers will have to go back to Tibet."
This time, Li Shimin did not object, but nodded:
"Okay, three days will be three days!"
………………
Near Honglu Temple.
In an inn dedicated to envoys.
Lu Dongzan, who returned to his room, had a very unsightly face.
He is forty this year, and he is in the prime of life, and this time the envoy also brought his son to Datang, the purpose of which is to let his son come to see for a long time.
At this time.
Lu Dongzan's son, on Qinling, stood on the side and said in a low voice:
"Apa, is there any conspiracy for the Tang Emperor to keep this time?"
"A few days ago, he really wanted us to leave early, but today he suddenly changed his mind, and he didn't say that he wanted Zampu to marry the princess. It's a bit unusual......"
"They Han people always say that there must be demons when things go wrong."
"There's got to be weird here."
Lu Dongzan's face was gloomy, he nodded, and shook his head again.
He looked at his son and said slowly:
"That's the most annoying."
"Even if we know that there are oddities, we can't refuse directly, otherwise we are deliberately provoking the relationship between Datang and Tubo."
"Before the mission, Zampu had told me a thousand times—"
"Even if the Tang Emperor is unwilling to make peace with Tubo, the mission can be dissatisfied before returning to Tubo, but it must not show hostility, otherwise it will make the Tang Dynasty vigilant."
"I thought that he would refuse, so let's go straight to ......"
"But I never expected that the Tang Emperor would actually start to keep it again."
"I don't know what bad water is hiding!"
That's right.
Songtsen Gampo had long guessed that the Tang Dynasty would not easily agree to this marriage, because the Tang Dynasty had never had real friction with the Tibetans, and they did not know their strength.
They came to ask for a kiss just to try Datang.
Agreeing is naturally best.
But if you don't agree, then you will write a letter of sealing after you go back and go to war directly!
When the muscles are showed, Datang will naturally know how strong Tubo is, and whether he needs to make friends.
"We're not like the boneless Tuyuhun......"
On Qinling is only a teenager, after all, he is still a little younger, and he scolds and scolds in his mouth to express his indignation at this:
"Hmph, according to me, this Tang Emperor is not as powerful as I imagined!"
"In the past half a month since they came to Chang'an, there have been a lot of things in the court, and there have been a lot of troubles."
"Zan Pu is only eighteen years old, and his control over the court can be forbidden, and the Tang Emperor is thirty or forty years old, but he can't even settle with their so-called family."
"How good can he be?"
Hearing this, Lu Dongzan lowered his voice and scolded sharply:
"Be careful!"
"Do you think that no one in Chang'an City can understand what you say?"
"Those officials of the Hongxu Temple are all proficient in one of his Chinese languages!"
"Now I'm waiting to stay in the inn they arranged, who knows if there will be ears on the wall."
"Be honest, wait for three days, and leave Chang'an immediately."
"Needless to say!"
