Chapter 1137: Songtsen Gampo
Not only is the eldest grandson queen licking the calf deeply, thousands of miles away in Tubo, there is a person who also cares about his child, he is Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan.
"Back to my father, there is no news of my second brother yet." Lu Dongzan's eldest son, Zan, said in a deep voice when he came to Lu Dongzan, who was sitting dry, since he learned that the second brother Lun Qinling personally led 5,000 cavalry but was defeated by only 1,000 firearms supervisors, Lu Dongzan has obviously aged a lot.
"Is there any news from the Mo family?" After a long time, Lu Dong sighed and asked.
Zan Xiruo shook his head and said: "The secret agents of Tubo in Tuyuhun have all sent news, saying that the Mo family chased the second brother into the eight hundred miles of Hanhai and never returned. β
Lu Dongzan heard that the Mo family also did not return, and he felt better in his heart, and he did not disgrace him on the Qin Ling, although he was defeated in the hands of the Mo family, but in the end, he entered the eight hundred miles of Hanhai with the heart of death, and introduced the Mo family into it.
"Father, don't worry, the eight hundred miles of Hanhai is extremely vast, maybe the second brother is just lost, or is he hiding in an oasis?" Lu Dongzan's eldest son comforted.
Lu Dongzan shook his head and said: "You and I both know the horror of the Eight Hundred Miles of Hanhai, neither the Mo family nor the Qin Ling can stay for so long, and the second retreat from Khotan chosen by the father for your second brother has not been activated, your second brother is probably already more auspicious, but your second brother can also be regarded as a worthy death, as long as the Mo family can drag the Mo family to death in the Eight Hundred Miles of Hanhai, all these sacrifices are worth it."
It's ridiculous to say, exchanging 5,000 people for the head of the Mo family, even if it sacrifices his own son, in Lu Dongzan's opinion, this is a cost-effective deal, this is the value of the Mo family.
Lu Dongzan always thought that he had a high opinion of Mo Jiazi, and directly used 5,000 elite Tubo cavalry to ambush the firearms supervisor led by Mo Jiazi, but he was defeated by Mo Jiazi, according to the news from the Tang Dynasty, and it was a fiasco.
He underestimated Mo Jiazi, underestimated the power of gunpowder in the field, and finally paid a painful price, fortunately, Qin Ling finally saved a little face for him with the same return, as long as Mo Jiazi could not come back, what he did was not only without fault but also a great achievement.
Just when Lu Dongzan was about to accept the reality, suddenly a Tibetan messenger hurriedly reported: "Back to the Great Minister, there is news from the end that the Mo family has appeared in the area of the end of the road, and the four hundred firearms supervisors who are chasing Gongzi have appeared at the same time. β
Lu Dongzan's face turned pale suddenly, and his body couldn't help shaking, Lu Dongzan's eldest son hurriedly supported Lu Dongzan, he could already clearly feel the weakness of his father back then.
"Father's Day condolences!" Lu Dongzan's eldest son persuaded softly, although he was Lu Dongzan's eldest son, and his status and power were all lacking, but he knew that Lu Dongzan's favorite was the second son, Non Qinling.
This time, Tubo ambushed the firearms supervisor, and his father dispatched 5,000 people at once, and he handed over such an important matter to Non Qinling to pave the way for Non Qinling, but it backfired, Mo Dare was too rebellious, and actually killed his second brother Non Qinling.
"Mo Jiazi!" Lu Dongzan couldn't help gritting his teeth and said, since the Mo family appeared at the end of the day, and four hundred firearms supervisors and soldiers followed, it is conceivable that Qinling will definitely bury his bones in the yellow sand, and the pain of killing his son is not shared with the sky, this time the anger in Lu Dongzan's heart is soaring.
"Father can't be reckless, Datang is powerful, the Mo family has returned to Datang, and it needs to be done slowly." Zan Xiruo advised.
Lu Dongzan's flushed face slowly subsided, but Zan Xiruo clearly felt the suppressed anger in Lu Dongzan's heart.
"Prime Minister Qi, Songtsen Gampo is invited!" Suddenly, a messenger hurried to the message.
Lu Dongzan's face turned pale suddenly, he made the decision to let Qin Ling lead five thousand cavalry to ambush Mo Jiazi, before the life and death of Qin Ling and Mo Jiazi were unknown, his merits and demerits have not yet been decided, but now Mo Jiazi has appeared, and Tubo has lost five thousand cavalry in vain, and he has offended the Tang Dynasty, and this responsibility will naturally fall on Lu Dongzan.
"Father!" Zan Xiruo said nervously.
Lu Dongzan shook his head and said: "It's okay, this matter is the father's mistake, then you have to bear the consequences, and there is still a little responsibility for the father." β
Lu Dongzan soon came to a palace, and the Tubo ministers in the palace gathered, and when they saw Lu Dongzan's arrival, many people showed sympathetic looks, and it was obvious that they had also heard the news of the appearance of the Mo family.
Lu Dongzan walked to the top of the hundred officials, and when he saw that the throne was empty, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What about Zampu?" β
A Tibetan minister on the side replied: "The prime minister has no intention of knowing anything about the government recently, and Tubo is about to have a new queen now!" β
"The new queen?" Lu Dongzan couldn't help frowning, you must know that it is not a trivial matter for Tubo Zampu to marry, often have the nature of marriage, before the queen of Songtsan Gampo is the princess of Ni Boro, if you marry a new queen, it will not offend Ni Bora, although now Tubo's strength is not afraid of Ni Boro, but now Tubo has offended the Tang Dynasty, it is really not appropriate to offend Ni Boro.
"It's coming!" I saw that the ministers shouted, Lu Dongzan's eyes flashed, and I saw that Songtsan Gampo actually carried a woman to the court, and the woman's appearance was Han Chinese, and Lu Dongzan, who had been to the Tang Dynasty many times, could not be mistaken.
"See Zamp!" The Tibetan ministers saluted one after another.
Songtsen Gampo is tall, only twenty-three years old, in the prime of life, the world knows that the Mo family is young, talented, known to the world, but in Tibet, Songtsen Gampo's experience is also not inferior to the Mo family, Songtsen Gampo only thirteen years old succeeded to the throne of Zampu, after that he was like a hanger, quelling the rebellion, annexing Yangtong, Subi, unifying the Tubo Plateau, so that Tubo became a powerful country in the world, Songtsen Gampo made great contributions, even Lu Dongzan also convinced to bow down at the feet of Songtsen Gampo.
Now the hero of Tubo, Songtsen Gampo, looked at the Han woman beside him with a doting face, and said softly: "Ask what is the love in the world, and the direct teaching promises life and death, Benzanpu has not been able to understand the love story of Liang Zhu written by Mo Jiazi, until I saw Wen'er on the way to hunting, at that moment, I understood that I must marry this woman as a wife in this life and spend my life with her, this is probably love." β
The love story of Songtsen Gampo and Wen'er is very old-fashioned and clichΓ©, Wen'er, who was originally the daughter of a merchant in the Tang Dynasty, followed her father to Tubo to do business, but accidentally encountered a beast attack, and was just rescued by the hunting Songtsan Gampo hero, Songtsan Gampo was handsome and brave, and his status was noble, and he captured Wen'er's heart at once, and Songtsan Gampo also fell in love with Wen'er at first sight, and soon fell in love with him.
"The concubine has a humble status, I'm afraid she is not worthy of Zampu." Wen'er couldn't help but be scared when she saw the Tubo ministers, and said timidly, she is the daughter of a merchant, where did she think that one day she could get the favor of the king of a country, this is just like in a dream.
"It's okay, it won't be long before your status becomes noble." Songtsen Gampo said softly.
"I'm afraid that the concubine is not qualified for the position of queen." Wen'er said timidly.
Songtsen Gampo shook his head, did not answer, but turned his head to look at the ministers and said: "Wen'er is a Han Chinese, although he and Ben Zampu are in love, but they have to go without the consent of the Heavenly Khan, Ben Zanpu decided to send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty again, offering five thousand taels of gold and hundreds of treasures, only asking the Heavenly Khan to allow Wen'er to marry to Tibet as a princess." β
"Ahh Suddenly, the Tibetan ministers were in an uproar.
"Envoy Datang! Just for the daughter of an ordinary merchant. The ministers were puzzled, you must know that Tubo and Datang have now completely become enemies, and at this moment the envoy to Datang may only be humiliated, and the purpose is even more ridiculous, it is Songtsen Gampo for love, to give a princess to the daughter of a merchant.
"Zampu, how can the concubine be so favored by Zampu." Wen'er was moved to tears.
Songtsengan's face was full of affection and said: "Money is something outside the body, as long as you can justifiably be the queen of Benzanpu, this is nothing?" β
The Tubo ministers looked at the two people who were deeply affectionate and righteous, and they couldn't help frowning, but because of the tiger power of Songtsen Gampo, no one made a sound.
"Prime Minister Lu, you have the experience of going to the Tang Dynasty several times, how about this time the envoy to the Tang Dynasty to ask Wen'er for the title of princess?" Songtsen Gampo said in a resolute tone.
"Lu Dongzan sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty." In an instant, the Tubo ministers woke up from their deep affection, and instantly felt creepy, Lu Dongzan had just sent his son to kill the Mo family, and he had already offended the Tang Dynasty, but at this moment, Songtsan Gampo asked Lu Dongzan to envoy the Tang Dynasty, didn't this make Lu Dongzan jump into the tiger's mouth, how could the Tang Dynasty let Lu Dongzan go.
Lu Dongzan was stunned, and then bowed respectfully and said, "Weichen takes the order!" β
The ministers of Tubo turned their heads to look at Lu Dongzan, no one thought that Lu Dongzan would accept the order without hesitation, didn't he take the initiative to die?
It was not until now that a group of Tubo ministers suddenly realized the intention of Songtsan Gampo, the so-called marriage to Wen'er as the queen, and asked the Tian Khan for the status of the princess, all have only one purpose, that is, to show weakness to the Tang Dynasty, this is the real Songtsan Gampo, a man with great talent, but dare to forbear, I am afraid that there is only one stupid woman Wen'er in the audience who believes in the love of an emperor stupidly.
Soon the details of the envoy had been passed, and the Tubo ministers respectfully paid a big salute to Songtsen Gampo and Ludong Zan, admiring their sacrifices.
"Stand down! Prime Minister Lu stayed, and Ben Zampu had something to explain. Songtsen said in a dry voice.
The ministers sighed and retreated, and Songtsen Gampo sent Wen'er away, and the entire hall was suddenly left with only Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan.
"Prime Minister Lu, you can complain about me." Songtsen Gampo looked directly at Lu Dongzan and said in a deep voice.
Lu Dongzan shook his head and said: "Weichen doesn't dare, this time it was Weichen's fault that put Tubo in danger, since this is the case, then let Weichen's head calm the anger of the Tang Dynasty." β
Songtsen Gampo said helplessly: "The Tang Dynasty is already powerful, and the Tang Dynasty with gunpowder is even more invincible in the world, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty are adjacent to each other, although they are blessed by the Plateau Heavenly God, but they are also not the opponents of the Tang Dynasty." If you can't get the forgiveness of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo will be in danger. β
"Zampu's decision is correct, today's Tubo is really not suitable to be the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not a pity for Weichen to die, it is embarrassing for Zampu." Lu Dongzan said sadly.
When Songtsen Gampo heard this, he couldn't help but twitch, he was the lord of a country, and he married characters such as Princess Qizun, where could he see the daughter of a mediocre-looking merchant, but he had to act with him, pretending to be affectionate, and impressing Tian Khan with the so-called love story.
"You and I are all for Tubo, it's all worth it, remember that no matter what conditions Tian Khan has, as long as he can get the forgiveness of the Tang Dynasty, he will agree." Songtsen Gampo took a deep breath and said.
Lu Dongzan was silent for a moment, he knew that the conditions here even had his life, but he did not hesitate to say firmly: "Weichen obeys the order!" β
"Try to come back alive!" Songtsen Gampo said in a dry voice.
Lu Dongzan nodded, bowed respectfully, turned around and left proudly.
