Chapter 434: Offering Gifts
For these things done by the court, for this group of people, they all think that what the court has done is right.
Seeing the cheers of this group of Tang people, Lu Dongzan exhaled.
Immediately after that, the group sat on horses and arrived at Honglu Temple, where they began to pause.
There are officials from Honglu Temple, and arrangements are made for them.
Everyone moved in, arranged all their group of Tubo, and the officials of Honglu Temple arrived at the palace and reported to the saint.
Hearing the news over there, Li Er waved his hand, this matter was arranged like this, since it was a guest from afar, all the food was prepared for them according to the highest standards.
Although they are only a small tribe, they must also show the etiquette of our Celestial Empire.
"Your Majesty."
After a while, all the meals on the side of the court were arranged.
Seeing these meals provided by Datang, which they had never seen before, everyone was stunned and puzzled.
What is this Datang getting for them, what is this?
Why have these things never been seen before?
Could it be that these things are unique to their Datang?
Whether it's vegetables or everything, it's the first time everyone has seen each other.
"Lookout?"
"Okay guys, it's been so long for the big guy to arrive in Datang, it's time to take a good rest.
Tomorrow, I will take a few people to the court of Datang to meet His Majesty of Datang. ”
"It's the Great Minister."
After Lu Dongzan finished speaking, the ministers below began to eat.
While eating, the big guy sighed again.
Not to mention, the meals prepared by Datang here are really delicious.
Not bad.
Everyone sighed again and again, and once again saw the wine prepared for them by Datang next to them, and stepped forward and began to drink.
Well, the Datang drinks are also quite good.
It is still delicious and stronger than the barley wine they have in Tibet.
"Daxiang, you drink first."
"Okay guys, let all the soldiers eat and drink first."
They were not allowed to drink by themselves and the people who arranged for them, and in any case, they had to keep their spirits full.
This wine smells really strong, who knows if you will be greedy after drinking it?
When you come here to deal with things, no matter what, you have to take care of everything and then celebrate and celebrate.
On the other hand, these soldiers, just drink it, and you can sleep until dawn.
"What's going on over there at Honglu Temple?"
"Your Majesty, we have already arranged all the meals.
When this group of Tubo people saw my Tang Dynasty food and wine, they devoured it as if they had never seen it before.
Looking at it like this, it must be that they Tubo people don't have these things.
That's why they have what they do today. ”
Hearing this, Li Er nodded.
Sure enough, it is a group of wild people who have never seen anything in the world, since this is the case, I will meet them in the palace tomorrow and see what they are going to do!
"Pass my order and ask people to keep an eye on their group of Tibetans.
If there is something to do, come and report it to me anytime, anywhere. ”
"Your Majesty."
After saying that, the guards left in a hurry, while Li Er sat on the side and began to get busy again.
As the sun rises in the east, shining on this ancient land, the sound of the early dynasty is heard.
One after another, the ministers began to rush in the direction of the palace.
On the side of Honglu Temple, Lu Dongzan and others also got up early.
This Tang people really deserve to be rich, and even the place where they sleep is better than the place where they rest in Tibet.
And those soldiers, who were full of food and drink yesterday, slept until this morning.
Now they have all woken up and begun to wait quietly in Honglu Temple.
"Something to start, nothing to retreat."
As Li Er's personal officer finished shouting this sentence, the ministers below stood up one after another and began to report.
After all the reports were completed, the minister on the side of Honglu Temple stepped forward and saluted.
"Your Majesty, this Tubo group has arrived in my Chang'an City, and is waiting quietly in Honglu Temple at the moment.
I wonder when Your Majesty will summon them? ”
"The Tibetans are here?"
Immediately after that, the people below muttered quietly again.
Li Er glanced at the ministers and waved his hand.
"Come here, spread my will, let this group of Tubo people come to the palace to meet you."
"Your Majesty."
Arrange for people to leave the palace, go to Honglu Temple, and bring the Tubo group over.
Hearing the summons of the Tang Emperor, Lu Dongzan and the others packed up their clothes, arranged the accompanying guards, prepared gifts, and under the leadership of the Tang officials, they left the Honglu Temple, arrived at the palace, came to the court, and met His Majesty the Tang Dynasty!
"All the Tibetan envoys, the one above is my Majesty of the Tang Dynasty!"
Seeing His Majesty Datang sitting above, Lu Dongzan and his party hurriedly saluted!
"I'm waiting for the Tibetan envoys, and I've seen His Majesty the Tang Dynasty."
"Hahahaha, okay, all the Tibetan envoys are exempt!"
"Your Majesty Xie Datang."
"I don't know who the Tubo envoy is, what kind of identity is in Tubo, and what is the matter with coming to my Tang Dynasty this time?"
"Back to His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, the foreign envoy's name is Lu Dongzan, who is the prime minister of Tubo.
We are waiting for the order of my Tubo Zampu to send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and I want to communicate with the Tang Dynasty on an equal footing and trade with each other.
This time, I came to Datang in Tubo and brought some gifts, ready to be dedicated to His Majesty Datang.
We know that this Central Plains is rich in products, and His Majesty the Tang Dynasty may not be able to look down on these things.
However, there is an old saying in the Central Plains, courtesy is light and affectionate, and goose feathers are sent thousands of miles, which is also a piece of the heart of my Tubo people.
Come. ”
As Lu Dongzan finished speaking, several soldiers stepped forward and opened a box.
"Your Majesty of the Tang Dynasty, this is my special product of Tibet, barley noodles, barley wine.
These are consuming horns, yak skins, and some yak jerky.
In addition to these, there are also snow lotuses from our Mt. Tenjin.
The snow lotus on this Tianshen Mountain is a good medicine in my Tibet, and only the most honorable people will use the snow lotus.
We believe that His Majesty the Tang Dynasty is the most honorable person in Tibet.
So I also picked the snow lotus from Mt. Tenjin and brought it with me.
In addition to these, there are some other specialties, please also like His Majesty the Tang Dynasty. ”
When Li Er heard this, he laughed.
"Hahahaha, yes, thank you for the gifts.
It's just that how do I feel, this Lu Dongzan is a great minister, and what you said in the original words is also very good.
Have you ever been to the Central Plains before? ”
Back to His Majesty's words in the Tang Dynasty, the foreign envoy once studied and lived in the Central Plains with my ancestors for a period of time.
Therefore, I also know that the culture of the Central Plains is broad and profound, and the products are abundant.
After returning to Tibet, I wondered when I would have the opportunity to come to the Central Plains again.
Until today, I have the opportunity to visit the Central Plains.
"Hahahaha, I see, I see.
Now tell me, which tribe of Tibet do you belong to? ”
"Back to His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, we have no tribe in Tibet.
My Tubo has been completely unified under the leadership of our Zampu, and there is no distinction between various tribes, all of them are Tubo people.
We are here to represent the whole of Tibet, and the same is true of today's envoy to the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Oh, I see.
I have heard of this Tubo before, and it is said that it is in pieces.
I didn't expect this Tubo to be unified, hahahaha, presumably you Zampu is also a capable person, right? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty of the Tang Dynasty, now my Zampu in Tibet is only in his early 20s, and he is in the prime of life.
I believe that under the leadership of my Tibetan Zampu, we, the Tibetan people, will be able to move forward more and more.
We hope to be able to get along with Datang on an equal footing and trade with each other, and I believe that we will be able to prosper together with Datang and Tibet. ”
After hearing this, Li Er laughed.
How does this feel, like this group of Tubo people following themselves to show off their might?
Sure enough, what Brother Xian said was right, this Tubo child just wanted to do something small when he came to my Tang Dynasty today.
But if they want to do small things, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
"Hahahaha, what Prime Minister Lu Dongzan said is reasonable, that's right, I have a lot of resources and rich products in the Tang Dynasty.
You still know a lot, and after you leave Chang'an City, I will arrange for someone to prepare some more gifts for you, so don't worry! ”
"Your Majesty Xie Datang."
"As for the matter of mutual trade and peaceful coexistence, I have been approved.
As long as you can't wait to invade my Datang border, my Datang can get along with Tubo on an equal footing! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty Datang."
As he spoke, Nalu Dongzan saluted again.
"Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, in addition to this, the foreign envoy has brought some other things.
When I was studying the culture of the Central Plains before, I heard such an old saying in the Central Plains.
Friends don't know each other, friends can learn from each other.
We think that we are not Datang's opponents, but we also want to learn from Datang and learn from Datang.
I wonder if His Majesty the Tang Dynasty can allow it? ”
