Chapter 406: The Tibetan Mission, the Tantric Lineage
Tai Chi Palace. After Li Daoxuan showed the royal gold medal, the road was unimpeded and soon arrived outside the Anren Palace.
Today, Li Shimin did not continue to deal with political affairs in the Ganlu Palace, but met someone in the Anren Palace, and the outside was heavily guarded, and there were bad people guarding the door.
When they saw that it was Li Daoxuan who asked to see him, the bad people's eyes lit up and showed admiration. Li Daoxuan not only rescued their White Tiger Captain, but also chased and killed the evil Buddha Maha in the sky above the capital, which can be said to make the Tang Dynasty raise his eyebrows and show his might.
They went in at once. One of them even took the initiative to reveal the news to Li Daoxuan, saying that His Majesty was inviting the Tibetan envoys inside, and there was a monk among them, who seemed to be very powerful.
Li Daoxuan's heart moved, Tubo is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, southwest of the Tang Dynasty, and the current relationship with the Tang Dynasty is not bad, and it belongs to the state of allies.
However, Li Daoxuan knew that in the next three hundred years, the Tang Dynasty would break out many wars with Tibet, and this country located on the plateau, although not as aggressive as the Turks, would often show its fangs, and on the surface it would be a vassal, but in fact it would have hidden ambitions.
For example, when Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, she was the martial artist of Songtsen Gampo. At that time, Songtsen Gampo failed to ask for marriage, so he led an army of 200,000 to attack the western border of Songzhou in the Tang Dynasty and declared
"The princess is not here, I will go deeper." Although the Tang Dynasty later won the war, in the end, in order to appease Songtsen Gampo, he married Princess Wencheng.
It can be seen in particular that the superficially obedient Tubo is actually a hidden enemy. However, the current Songtsen Gampo is only eleven years old, and he has not yet become a Zampu, and his father Nangri Songtsen has unified the plateau for a few years, and he has an allied attitude towards the Tang Dynasty.
It didn't take long for the chief eunuch Gao Quan to hurriedly walk out of the Anren Palace, and when he saw Li Daoxuan's ruddy complexion and normal appearance, he was not only relieved.
"Li Zhenren, Your Majesty has been very worried about you these days, and has sent people to visit you several times, just because I am worried that you will be injured." Li Daoxuan smiled: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, I'm fine, by the way, what's the situation here?" He vaguely felt that Gao Quan's expression seemed to be a little wrong.
Hearing Li Daoxuan's words, Gao Quan began to pour bitter water.
"Li Zhenren doesn't know, in the past few days, the envoys of Tubo have entered Beijing, and they have heard about your defeat of the evil Buddha, saying that they are very respectful, and they have asked Your Majesty many times to see you." After a pause, Gao Quan whispered: "I think they are not admiring, but want to test your strength or see if you are injured." Li Daoxuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I understand, what does Your Majesty want me to do?" Gao Quan leaned over and wanted to say something, but glanced at the mediocre-looking maid behind Li Daoxuan.
The implication was that he wanted the maid to leave first. Tsing Yi Niangniang's expression was pale, she bent down slightly, gave Li Daoxuan a blessing salute, and said, "Childe, then I will retire first." A hand reached over and firmly grabbed her wrist.
Li Daoxuan held the slender snow-white wrist, feeling the soft and smooth touch under the thin clothes, and his heart fluttered.
He smiled at Gao Quan and said, "Father-in-law Gao, her name is Qingni, and she is mine...... The maid is also the person I trust the most, and I don't have to avoid her for anything. Tsing Yi Niang's eyes were lowered, looking at her wrist held by Li Daoxuan, wisps of divine light accumulated in the Tong Kong, but in the end it was hidden, she sighed softly in her heart.
Anyway, since he said that he wanted to pretend to be his maid, as long as this thief didn't go too far, it was up to him.
Only this once, not for example. Li Daoxuan was shocked into a cold sweat behind his back, just now he had a strong warning in his heart, like falling into an ice cave, it was like walking away from the ghost gate.
But fortunately, the mother did not resist in the end. Gao Quan looked at this mediocre-looking maid with a surprised face, His Majesty gave Li Zhenren so many beauties, he was not interested, but now he is so protective of this maid, it can be seen that this woman's status in his heart is not ordinary.
"Li Zhenren, what Your Majesty means is that if you are not injured, please go in, and then take action to deter them, of course, if you are injured, please go back to recuperate first, and you don't have to meddle in this matter again, Your Majesty will take care of everything." Li Daoxuan's eyes moved, and he said, "Your Majesty wants to use troops against the Turks." Gao Quan's eyes were shocked, and he wondered: "How can our family know about this kind of secret?" Li Daoxuan nodded and smiled slightly.
His Majesty must want to use troops against the Turks, even if it is not now, that is, in the past few years, so he wants to deter the Tibetan envoys, and use both grace and power to stabilize the southern part of the Tang Dynasty.
"It is said that the Tantric lineage of Tibet has been passed down from generation to generation, proficient in the method of empowerment, and can open the wisdom of Suhui.
"Hey young, Li Zhenren is polite, please!" Li Daoxuan walked in, the lady in Tsing Yi followed behind him, keeping a distance of half a body, neither humble nor arrogant, calm and calm, this bearing, but let Gao Quangao look at it a few times, and secretly said that she was worthy of being Li Zhenren's maid, and she really had something extraordinary.
…… In the Anren Palace, singing and dancing are joyful, and the wine is three rounds. The Tibetan envoys all sat in the middle of the banquet, watching the dancing queen's light song and dance, their eyes shining slightly.
In their place, it is rare to see such a young woman dancing and applying grease and powder. There are only two people with clear eyes, one with vicissitudes of life, forty or fifty years old, quite a shrewd and capable temperament, in the face of these charming dancing girls, just appreciation, not hot.
The other person is a monk, his appearance looks very young, in his twenties, delicate and handsome, his eyes are clear, as if there is a surge of spiritual light, the most striking thing is the spiritual lines on his eyebrows, faintly glowing with a strange luster.
At this moment, he folded his hands, the eucalyptus was full of clear vegetarian food, and the beauty was in front of him, still looking calm, his eyes were neither evasive nor active, as if he was looking at a group of pink skeletons.
Li Shimin sat at the top, quietly observing the group of Tibetan envoys, his eyes constantly wandering back to the body of the monk and the capable man.
"Thank you Your Majesty for your hospitality, the wine of the Tang Dynasty intoxicated me, and the beauty of the Tang Dynasty also opened my eyes, but I don't know when I can wait to meet the hero of the Tang Dynasty who defeated Maha?" The man with a vicissitudes of life and a capable temperament raised his wine glass and said respectfully to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin frowned slightly, this was the second time they had mentioned this matter. As if sensing the unpleasantness of the Tang Emperor, the young monk suddenly said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, three years ago, when Maha sent an envoy to Tibet, the family teacher was defeated by him, and I Tubo were all heroes, but they were not Maha opponents, so I admired Li Zhenren very much, and asked Your Majesty to be gracious, let me wait to see the real person." Li Shimin said: "Tai Chong is in retreat and cultivating, and when his retreat is over, you can naturally go to visit." Then a voice suddenly rang out.
"Hehe, is it a retreat to cultivate, or a retreat to heal?" Everyone looked over, only to see a Tibetan envoy with a beard with a flushed face, drunken and said: "Master, in my opinion, that Li Zhenren just doesn't dare to see you, although he defeated Maha, but it is said that he borrowed the power of others, and he has already been beaten back to his original form at this moment." After a pause, he burped and sneered, "If I see you...... I'm afraid I can't even beat you with one hand! ”
