Chapter 631: The Toad Wants to Eat Swan Meat
It has been two days since Zhang Nan resigned, and there has been an endless stream of people who want to visit Zhang Nan in the past two days, but Zhang Nan has not seen any of them, even the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yanjin and other officials who are better on weekdays are all gone, and even Li Chengqian was rejected by Zhang Nan.
Zhang Nan's statement to the outside world is that he is infected with wind and cold, and it is not suitable to meet guests, and everyone thinks that this is Zhang Nan's excuse.
But this is indeed a fact, since Zhang Nan walked back from the palace in a single dress that day, Zhang Nan fell ill, coughed all the time, and had a fever at night.
And Zhang Nan was also very strong and did not ask Sun Simiao to come to see him, he took a few pills every day, and in the past two days of resting and recuperating at home, Zhang Nan only saw Cui Shao alone, and Cui Shao still came with the idea of asking the teacher at first.
After all, Zhang Nan said that he would resign, but it gave Cui Shao a headache, Zhang Nan as Cui Shao's son-in-law, it was a bad news for the family in the group, and now this person who can live in harmony with the royal family and the family suddenly resigned, and Cui Shao was numb.
In the end, Zhang Nan said that he finally convinced Cui Shao that he would continue to be an official in the future, and Cui Shao finally let Zhang Nan go.
According to the Tang system, Yuan Zhengri, the winter solstice, the right has been on the second festival of the order to take a seven-day holiday, the first three and the last four days belong to the annual leave period of Datang officials, so when it comes to the fourth day of the first month, Datang officials will go to work normally.
And Comrade Li Er didn't have the time to care about Zhang Nan's resignation at this time, after all, it was impossible for Li Er to put a talent like Zhang Nan at home and not use it, and it was about to usher in the grand ceremony of the Tang Dynasty, so Comrade Li Er naturally couldn't take care of it.
The Yuan Dynasty meeting can be said to be the most important activity of the Tang Dynasty at home and abroad, every Yuan Dynasty meeting, the officials have lined up according to the rank at dawn, and the candle-lit honor guard is known as the "Fire City". According to the regulations of the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty will be held in the Taiji Palace, and the hall is furnished with ceremonial music, treasures and jades of the past dynasties, and the chariot is solemn.
The emperor was crowned in Linxuan, and the queen, hundreds of officials, envoys and relatives of the emperor all wore court clothes to participate. In the course of the ceremony, it includes the birthday ceremony of the crown prince and the princes, the congratulatory table of the place where the Zhongshu order is played, the auspicious auspicious omen played by the Huangmen Shilang, the contribution of the Hubu Shangshu to the prefectures, and the contribution of the Ministry of Rites to the Zhufan.
Before the Yuan-Ri Dynasty meeting, whether it was the state capitals or the envoys who wanted to reconcile relations with the Tang Dynasty, they all had to come to Chang'an City in advance to prepare. Waiting for this grand ceremony.
And Lu Dongzan, who came to propose marriage this time, also came because he was going to participate in the Yuan Dynasty meeting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the matter of this Yuan-Japan court meeting has been prepared, I don't want anything to go wrong, you have to pay more attention to me in the Ministry of Rites, I don't want to lose face in front of those vassal states."
At this time, Li Er is in good spirits on happy occasions, every time he comes to such a day, Li Er feels inexplicably happy, every time he stands at the door of the Taiji Hall and looks at the courtiers and envoys who bow down, Comrade Li Er's vanity will be greatly satisfied.
"There is one more thing......" Before Li Er's words were finished, someone from the palace came to report, saying that Lu Dongzan, the envoy of Tibet, asked to see him.
As soon as Li Er heard that everyone was coming, he had no reason to refuse, so he announced Lu Dongzan in.
As soon as Lu Dongzan entered the Taiji Palace, he gave Li Er a Tang salute, and then said in fluent Chinese: "I have seen His Majesty the Tang Emperor." ”
Li Er saw that Lu Dongzan's etiquette was in place, and there was no obstacle to communication, so Li Er also smiled and waved his hand and said, "The envoy doesn't need to be polite, the envoy came to me today, what is the so-called matter?" ”
Lu Dongzan arched his hand after hearing this, and then said: "I came here today, but I was entrusted by my king to come to intercede, a few days ago, the Tang Emperor was unwell, and I didn't dare to disturb the Tang Emperor, but this Yuan Ri Dynasty will start soon, and I really can't wait any longer, so I came to ask the Tang Emperor to marry today." ”
"Oh, I and you Aiqing haven't decided which princess to give this matter to, so the envoy doesn't have to be anxious, what should be done at that time can naturally be done." Li Er casually found an excuse and fooled around.
In fact, the current Li Er still didn't think of whether to be friendly or not, and this candidate Li Er has not yet been decided, it is absolutely impossible to let Li Er marry his daughter, and whose daughter in his own clan is going to be married, that is also to be carefully considered, so Li Er shirked it.
"My king has admired Princess Changle under the knee of Emperor Tang for a long time, and I learned that Princess Changle is not married, and I hope that Emperor Tang can give Princess Changle to my king to cultivate the good of the Tang Dynasty in Tibet." Lu Dongzan's goal is also very clear, before coming, Lu Dongzan had already decided which princess to ask, and Songtsan Gampo also explained to Lu Dongzan that he must be a princess, not a county lord.
The recent strength of the Tang Dynasty has increased by leaps and bounds, and it has successively defeated the Turks and Goguryeo, which makes Songtsen Gampo on the plateau also a little scared, he is afraid that Li Er's next target will be his turn, so Songtsan Gampo is in a hurry to ask Li Er for marriage, and as long as the princess, not the county lord, so if the Tang Dynasty wants to do something to Tubo, it will have to be weighed.
Originally, Li Er was still listening to Lu Dongzan's words with a smile on his face at first, but as soon as he heard that Lu Dongzan was actually asking for Princess Changle, Li Er's smile immediately changed.
"The envoy's intentions, I understand, it's just that my Changle has already been promised, so this Changle, forget it." Li Er said lightly.
"Oh? I don't know about this matter, Princess Changle has already made a promise? After all, my king admires Princess Changle, since Princess Changle has already allowed people, it is inconvenient to force it, but this horse still has to be seen, otherwise when I return to Tibet, my king will blame me. ”
Lu Dongzan naturally heard the perfunctory meaning in Li Er's mouth, and he preferred to believe that Li Er's words were just perfunctory, so he decided to meet the concubine in Li Er's mouth, if Li Er couldn't point out a minister of equal age and talent, it would definitely be Li Er's excuse, and then ask for a kiss, it would be beneficial for Tubo.
And after entering the Taiji Palace, Lu Dongzan observed that none of the people present were the same age as Princess Changle, and as a concubine, it was impossible not to even have the qualifications to go to the court, so Lu Dongzan felt that Li Er was lying to him.
"Hehe, the horse has been infected with the wind and cold in recent days, and I promise him to cultivate in the mansion, and he will not go to the court until he is rested, so I am afraid that the envoy will not be able to see him." Li Er smiled and pushed Zhang Nan out.
