"Hahaha, you are boasting, Xu Aiqing must be happy!"

Li Shimin smiled and waved his hand,

"Come, give a seat, watch the tea."

"Let's sit down and talk."

For people who have a good impression, Li Er has always been not very shelf-oriented.

Although it was the first time to meet Lu Dongzan today, he did have a good impression of this Tibetan envoy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Dongzan arched his hand and sat down in response.

The maidservant brought the tea, and he took a sip and set it aside.

"Your Majesty, the minister is not very good at talking, please allow the minister to get straight to the point."

Lu Dongzan looked at Li Shimin and said,

"Before the envoy to the Tang Dynasty, Zampu had a thousand instructions and asked the minister to convey your admiration and admiration to you."

"At the same time, he also has a reluctant request, and I hope Your Majesty will grant it."

Li Shimin bowed slightly.

"Tell me about it."

Li Er smiled lightly,

"There are many people who ask for me, and I don't respond to my requests, so I won't be a living immortal?"

"Besides, Tibet is also a big country with potential, and Songtsen Gampo's posture doesn't have to be so low."

"The exchanges between the two countries are nothing more than ...... Help each other! ”

Help each other.

The subtext is ...... Don't think about it for nothing!

Maybe he was influenced by Xu Fenglei, but now Li Er is more careful than before, and he will not give people benefits in vain because of a few compliments from others.

Besides, he knew in advance—

That Songtsen Gampo, but he wants to ask to marry the princess!

"Uh...... Yes, yes. ”

Lu Dongzan was slightly stunned, but he nodded quickly and said earnestly,

"Zamp is trying to ...... Ask to marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty as his queen. ”

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.

"Asking for a princess? What, he wants to marry me and be my son-in-law? ”

Li Er smiled and groaned,

"He hasn't married yet?"

When Lu Dongzan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"This ...... There must be concubines, and Zampu is the king of Tibet after all. ”

He replied,

"But the queen really doesn't, in Tubo, there are also dignified women, but Zampu yearns for the princess of the Tang Dynasty, so he naturally looks down on those ordinary women in the country."

"If you can find a princess of the Tang Dynasty, Zampu will definitely be happy for three days and three nights without sleep! And I will definitely build a royal palace for this respected princess! ”

Li Shimin stroked his beard gently.

"You Zampu, you're also a very high-minded person."

Li Er smiled lightly,

"Is this a princess who doesn't marry?"

"Then it doesn't have to be the princess of the Tang Dynasty! There are princesses in other countries, isn't it enough to marry one? ”

Still pulling!

Obviously, Li Shimin didn't want to agree, at least he didn't want to agree happily.

"Princesses of other countries, where can they be compared with the princesses of the Tang Dynasty? That's not even worthy of lifting shoes! ”

Lu Dongzan Zhengsedao,

"Zampu has a saying, if you marry the princesses of the two countries at the same time, the princesses of other countries can only be the maids of the Tang Dynasty princess!"

He may have taken it a little extreme...... But Tibet is such a country, where the strong are respected! Zampu is also such a man, and he respects the daughter of the strong even more! ”

After that, he also glanced at Li Shimin cautiously.

Because of these words...... A little too explicit, he was afraid that His Majesty the Heavenly Khan would be displeased.

But fortunately, Li Shimin's expression was as usual, but with some smiles.

"Is that straightforward? However, I also like people who are straightforward, straightforward, and don't need to spend too much effort. ”

He said,

"After listening to your words, I can feel the sincerity of Songtsen Gampo, but ...... I'm a bit nerve-wracking, too. ”

"Because you Tubo are not the only ones who come to ask for marriage, but your neighbor Tuyuhun has also come to ask for marriage, and he also wants to marry a princess."

"This makes it difficult for me, I don't have so many daughters! If the monarchs of every country come to ask for marriage, then I may have to owe them a few princesses! You say, don't you? ”

When Lu Dongzan heard this, he couldn't help but look straight.

"Your Majesty, you are right, you don't have so many daughters, so if you want to choose a son-in-law, you must be cautious!"

He is right,

"You have to choose those excellent and sincere ones!"

"Some crooked melons and cracked dates, if you marry the princess to them, it will really spoil the princess! Don't get me wrong, what the minister is referring to is the prince of Tuyuhun, King Murong Zun! ”

"The minister has heard that this person is purely one straw bale, and he and his father Murong Fuyun are two big straw bales!"

"Such a country, such a prince, is not worthy of your marriage at all!"

A word that is extremely aggressive!

Lu Dongzan did not shy away from it in the slightest, and directly sprayed at Tuyuhun Murong and his son.

So...... Neighbors are enemies!

"Lu Dongzan is right, that Tuyuhun Murong father and son are indeed nothing!"

Xu Fenglei answered,

"Speaking of which, they are also extremely disrespectful!"

"On the surface, he bowed down to my Tang Dynasty, but behind his back, he was not honest! He actually sent cavalry to loot my Tang Liangzhou! ”

"It's a brute! His Majesty asked Murong Fuyun to come to the Tang Dynasty to apologize, but he didn't come because he was sick! His Majesty was merciful and let his son come, but his son even made excuses! ”

"Isn't that fooling us? That's it, and ask to marry a princess! ”

"There are no doors!"

Lu Dongzan was silent.

That day, he heard Murong Lin say something, but he didn't listen too carefully, and now when he heard Xu Fenglei say this, he already knew it in his heart.

No wonder Murong Lin was so worried...... His own monarch and prince made a big death, which angered the Tang Dynasty, can he still stay in the Tang Dynasty safe and sound as an envoy? !

"Indeed."

Lu Dongzan nodded in agreement,

"This is too disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty, too disrespectful to His Majesty the Heavenly Khan!"

"It's also thanks to the kindness of His Majesty the Heavenly Khan, if it were according to our Zampu's temperament, we would have sent troops to fight it a long time ago!"

Xu Fenglei smiled.

"Then you are mistaken, our Majesty has never been a benevolent person...... Even if it is benevolent, it is to oneself and allies. ”

He said,

"He is very ruthless in dealing with the enemy!"

"The reason why Tian Khan was able to become Tian Khan was not as simple as Dephi Quartet......"

Lu Dongzan was shocked.

What does that mean......

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house.

But I saw a guard walking into the imperial study with a letter in his hand, and saluted Li Shimin:

"Your Majesty, good news!"

"Liangzhou Governor Li Daoyan just presented it!"

Li Shimin looked a little surprised.

"Oh? Good news so soon? ”

He beckoned,

"Take it to me!"

The Praetorian Guard delivered the urgent delivery in his hand and retreated respectfully.

Crash.

Li Shimin opened the good news and looked at it, only glanced at it a few times, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Haha...... Wonderful, wonderful! ”

He patted his thigh and said,

"This Li Daoyan also has some strength! I thought he only had the ability to defend and not attack! Now that I think about it, I've lost my eyes! ”

"Listen, come, look!"

"Good news!"

Li Shimin got up and handed the good news in his hand to Xu Fenglei.

Lu Dongzan, who was crossed, was a little confused......

Good news?

What's the good news?

With whom did the Tang Army fight?!

"Hey, chase for hundreds of miles, behead seven hundred levels! Good! ”

Xu Fenglei glanced at the content of the good news, and also clapped his hands and praised,

"It's a little test! The Tuyuhun army, in my estimation, is about the same strength as the Turkic second-rate tribal army, and it is not as good as the elite main force of the headquarters. ”

"My Datang elite is one as three, and I beat a dozen Tuyuhun bereaved dogs, which can be said to be casual!"

"After this battle, let's see if Tuyuhun dares to invade the border again! If he dares to come again, we can go straight out of the nest and destroy his country! ”

Lu Dongzan: "!! ”

Boy! Is it really good to say such a thing as destroying the country and saying it directly and casually?

And in front of him?!

Somehow, Lu Dongzan's heart was a little stressed, and the look on his face was a little unnatural.

"Oh—forgot about you, Messenger of Lu."

Xu Feng raised the good news in his hand and said with a smile,

"This Tugu is itchy, and my Datang naturally has to beat it!"

"I've repeatedly violated my border, and I still want to ask for a kiss! What a toad wants to eat swan meat! This battle wiped out nearly a thousand of them, and let's see how Tuyuhun reacted! ”

"If you are still obsessed, then the Tang Dynasty can only send troops to fight against the ministers! At that time, maybe I will ask you to help Tibet...... After the deed is done, between our two countries, it will be neighbors! ”

Lu Dongzan: "......"

Who wants to be a neighbor with a behemoth like Datang!

Destroy the country at every turn! Which monarch is not afraid!

"Yes, yes......"

Lu Dongzan barely squeezed out a smile and responded,

"Tuyuhun is so obedient, it's a lesson."

"I can guarantee that I, Tubo, will never be so disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty! Absolutely respectful! ”

"Your Majesty, Zampu is sincerely asking to marry the Tang Princess, and he is definitely not a dissincere person like Tuyuhun! He is willing to use 100,000 cattle and sheep as a dowry to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty! ”

"Besides, if you have any conditions, just say it! As long as he can do it, he will definitely agree! ”

He also knows.

There is something in the words of the two monarchs and ministers - they want to ask to marry the princess, and Tuyuhun is a negative teaching material!

Don't say that the princess doesn't, she has to be beaten badly!

So, he also knows...... Without some promises, it is absolutely impossible for the Heavenly Khan to let go.

"Huh...... You are really worried about the king, and you don't leave the courtship in three sentences. ”

Li Shimin smiled, glanced at Xu Fenglei, and said,

"I don't really care about the amount of the dowry, I still value sincerity more."

"Listen, what kind of sincerity do you think it should be? I want to hear from you. ”

Lu Dongzan was stunned.

When the emperor marries his daughter, he still has to listen to the minister's opinion?

This Taishi Xu Gong ...... His Majesty the Heavenly Khan is so intimate?

"Dongzan, don't you know, I heard that it is the prince and the prince, not only the prince's master, but also the master of all the princes and princesses in the palace."

Li Shimin said with a smile,

"The so-called Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher, our Datang is very particular about this."

"You can think of him as half a father to the princesses, and if he doesn't agree, then even if I agree, I won't be able to get married."

These words raised Xu Fenglei high.

The main reason is that Li Shimin doesn't know how to respond at the moment, as if he has to say another word, he will agree to this marriage.

Therefore, simply move Xu Fenglei out and let him negotiate with Lu Dongzan to see what ideas he has that can maximize the interests of Datang.

"Ah...... I see. ”

Lu Dongzan was taken aback, and his gaze at Xu Fenglei became more and more respectful.

He arched his hand again:

"I really don't know Tarzan anymore...... Faux pas. ”

Xu Fenglei waved his hand.

"How can I be so important? It was His Majesty who was serious. ”

He smiled and replied,

"Still, I do have an idea."

"You said that you Songtsen Gampo are very sincere in asking to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, right?"

"Yes, yes......" Lu Dongzan said firmly, "very sincere, willing to do anything!" Even if it's up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, it's okay! ”

Xu Fenglei laughed.

"No, no, that's an exaggeration."

He said,

"Actually, it's quite simple to express sincerity."

"When we marry a wife in Datang, they are all hired by the man's family, and the man comes to marry in person, which is the most basic."

"So, I hope that you Songtsen Gampo can personally come to Datang, come to Chang'an to welcome your relatives, and welcome the princess back."

"So, okay?"

Lu Dongzan's expression froze.

"This ......"

He was troubled,

"Zampu is busy with state affairs, if he wants to travel thousands of miles to Datang, then many state affairs will be delayed."

"Besides, it's not very safe to come all the way, this ......"

Let Songtsen Gampo personally come to Chang'an to marry the princess, how is this possible?

The kingdom can't be without a king for a day!

When Xu Fenglei heard this, his expression changed.

"Oh? Can't do that? ”

He was displeased,

"Then you mean, you came to ask for a kiss, and we have to dress the princess beautifully and send you all the way to Tibet?"

"Hehe, is that your Tubo courtship, or is it our Tang Dynasty paying tribute and offering you a princess?"

"If this is recorded in the history books, future generations will think that we are afraid of you Tubo, so we will take the initiative to make peace with you!"

"Lu envoy, I speak more straightforwardly, don't be surprised - I am very sensitive to the word "harmony", when the founding of the Han Dynasty was weak, and later during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was strong and prosperous, and he was directly exterminated by the Huns, and he was ashamed! This and pro, is a disgrace! It's not the husband's doing! ”

"When you are weak, you have to be close, and when you are strong, you have to be close, so what's the picture? Isn't that country strong for nothing? ”

"Therefore, if you Songtsen Gampo do not come to Datang to marry in person, it is insincere! There is no difference with the Murong Zun King of Tuguhun! Forgive me and Your Majesty, not agree! ”

The historical 'Princess Wencheng entered Tibet', he will never allow it to happen again!

Although at that time, he also won the battle in Tubo, and only then did he allow peace, and his face was quite passable.

But the princess was sent to others...... Xu Fenglei felt that the diaphragm should be very good!

Anyway, in the end, everyone is going to turn their faces and fight, so why do you have to make a temporary peace, and send tools and technology to others, fatten Tibet, and finally become a big problem for your own henchmen!
