Chapter 409: Evil Buddha Relic, Sacred Lake Arowana
Horses step on snow-capped mountains and touch the holy lake! Li Shimin's words seemed to be joking, but there was a faint threat, which made Kampot angry and a lot of chills at the same time.
"Haha, Your Majesty said it well!" Li Daoxuan suddenly laughed and said, "At that time, wouldn't it be beautiful to accompany Your Majesty to take a boat ride on the Tubo Holy Lake, and catch a few dragonfish to drink?" ”
"You—" When the Tibetan envoys heard this, they gritted their teeth in anger. The sacred lake in Tibet, named Namtso Lake, is known as the most dazzling pearl on the snow-capped plateau, and has extremely sacred significance, and has been sacrificed and worshiped by the local people for thousands of years.
The sacred lake is rich in fish, including a fish with thin scales and long tails, and a glass color, which is called the Arowana, which is said to be the descendant of the snow-capped dragon, which is very noble.
Li Daoxuan's words undoubtedly seriously offended the faith of the Tibetan envoys. The Tibetan people never ate fish, let alone the arowana in the sacred lake, and they believed that people should be buried in water after death, and then enter reincarnation by being eaten by fish, so fish are regarded by them as the entrance to reincarnation, the messenger of the gods.
Li Daoxuan glanced at them and continued: "Your Majesty, the great victory of Evil Yang Ridge, General Li Jing gave His Majesty a gift, and Poor Dao is grateful for Your Majesty's love, and there is also a gift for Your Majesty. He glanced at his maid, and then said a word.
The lady in Tsing Yi glanced at him, and then took out a golden stone from her arms, only the size of her thumb, flowing with mellow Buddha light, which made people feel pure at first sight.
"This ...... This Buddha light is ......" has been quiet young monks in the sight of this stone obviously showed a moved color, this is a relic, is the monk cremated after the treasure, can help people resist the demons, improve the state of mind.
As the master of the new generation of Tubo, he has naturally seen relics, and even his master Master Huikun left relics after his death, but this relic in Li Daoxuan's hand is extremely familiar.
This qi machine made him unforgettable! When Maha sent an envoy to Tibet, he defeated all the heroes in a snap of his fingers, and the invincible master in his heart challenged Maha seven times, but he was defeated seven times in seven battles!
In the end, his master's state of mind collapsed, and he was powerful and powerful, and within three years, he ended up depressed, and Tubo had to pay tribute to the Turks, nominally becoming a vassal.
At that time, he was still weak, and deeply engraved Maha's qi into his bones, and vowed that sooner or later in the future, he would defeat Maha with his own hands!
But now he knew that he would never have this opportunity again, because this relic in front of him was left by Maha!
The famous Turkic national teacher, the evil Buddha Maha, is really dead! Tsing Yi Niang said: "Maha has died at the hands of my son-in-law, and the golden body has been refined by real fire, leaving only this relic, please accept it." "Relics are very precious to ordinary people, but for Li Daoxuan and Tsing Yi Niangniang, the effect is minimal.
Unless it is a Bodhisattva or Buddha-level relic, it is like a chicken rib, and it is given to Li Shimin, which is just the right way to promote the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.
"Good! Good! Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said: "The pharmacist raised the army on the battlefield, and Taichong killed the evil Buddha in Chang'an, which can be called a moment of brightness, I have the two of you in Datang, it is really like a tiger with wings, haha!" Li Shimin laughed heartily, over the years of succession, he endured humiliation and burden, and repeatedly tolerated the Turks, just to accumulate strength, and now Li Jing has won the battle, and Taichong has killed the opponent's national teacher, which is even happier than taking a panacea.
Drinking ice on a summer day is hearty! In contrast, those Tibetan envoys were trembling, and they all felt restless.
They suddenly discovered that today's Tang Dynasty seems to be no longer the Tang Dynasty that bowed down to the Turks and was weak and bullying during the Wude period.
Kampot knew that his threatening strategy had failed completely. He glanced at Li Daoxuan, only to feel that this very young-looking Taoist priest had become so unfathomable, like a snow-capped mountain on the plateau, connecting with the sky, making it difficult for people to see the peak.
In front of such a powerful person who killed the evil Buddha, he could no longer have any provocative heart, how badly the evil Buddha beat Tubo back then, and how afraid he is of Li Daoxuan now.
"Your Majesty, in fact, this time Zampu sent me to continue to maintain the alliance with the Tang Dynasty, Zampu once said that the Tang Dynasty and Tubo have always been good, and he wishes to form an alliance forever!" Li Shimin showed a smile in his eyes, and said: "Nangri Songzan has a heart, you go back and tell him that the Tang Dynasty Son Chrysostom said that as long as Tubo abides by the covenant, I, Datang, will never be treacherous." Kampot bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I have one more thing I want to ask Your Majesty." ”
"Tell me what's going on." Li Shimin's expression was relatively relaxed, after all, the basic policy of the alliance had been decided, and what Kampot wanted was nothing more than some gold, silver, jewelry, tea and silk.
Kampot took a deep breath and said: "Zampu has a son, named Songtsan Gampo, who is extremely intelligent, and will be able to take over the position of Zampu in the future and achieve great things. "Marriage!
This was the greatest purpose of the Tibetan delegation to Beijing, and the reason why they were willing to take out the letter of the auspicious khan was also to achieve this marriage.
Contemporary Zampu is full of wisdom, he believes that although the current Datang is weak, but it has a deep heritage, with strong potential, if you can marry, you can consolidate the covenant, and secondly, you can also use the name of marriage to obtain a lot of advanced technology of Datang.
For example, agriculture, medicine, construction, iron smelting and other technologies are all very important to Tibet. Li Shimin's expression was solemn, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Which princess do you want to marry?" ”
"Your Majesty, what I want to marry is ......" Kampot glanced up at Li Shimin, looked a little nervous, and said, "Princess Changle!" The voice echoed in the Anren Temple.
For a moment, the surroundings became so quiet that it seemed that even a pin could be heard on the ground. The ministers, who were still discussing the victory just now, didn't dare to speak all of a sudden, and they were all silent.
Kampot only felt his scalp tingle, and a chill rushed from the tail vertebrae to the top of his head. Time passed little by little, Li Shimin did not speak, and he knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise his head.
The task given to him by Zampu is to marry a princess who is most favored by the Tang Emperor, so that the alliance will be stronger.
The "dowry" was also more abundant. Not long after entering Chang'an, he found out that Li Liqing, the princess of Changle, although she is younger, is the most favored by Li Shimin, and at the same time, she is also the eldest daughter of the eldest grandson queen, the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, and her identity is extremely noble!
Li Shimin looked at him coldly, and after being silent for a long time, he finally spoke: "Changle is only nine years old, which is not suitable. Kampot stubbornly said: "Zampu's son is only eleven years old, and Princess Changle is the same age, if His Majesty is reluctant to princess, you can first enter into a marriage contract, wait for the princess and Lu, and then marry to Tibet." Li Shimin's eyelids jumped slightly, and wisps of murderous intent appeared in his heart.
As an emperor, he doesn't like the strategy of marriage, not to mention that the object of marriage is still his favorite pearl in his palm?
It's just that after all, he wants to maintain the alliance between the two countries, and even if he refuses, he can't talk too much. However, the breath in my heart is not unpleasant.
At this moment, a clear voice sounded, echoing in the tense atmosphere of the Anren Hall, breaking the silence.
"The prince of Tubo may be qualified to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but he is not worthy of marrying my Li Daoxuan's apprentice."
