Chapter 637: The True Purpose of the Princess's Choice of a Son-in-law

The envoys looked at each other angrily, Lu Dongzan also looked back angrily, Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and watched from the wall, and there was a faint glimmer of light in the emperor's eyes.

Lu Dongzan and the envoys of various countries glared angrily for a long time, and suddenly remembered that it was the Tang Emperor who made the decision on this matter, and the Tubo minister suddenly turned his head and saluted Li Shimin respectfully, and said urgently: "Your Majesty of the Tang Dynasty, Lu Dongzan is reasonable, this time the princess recruits a son-in-law, I Tubo will definitely not let ......"

Li Shimin smiled but did not speak, staring at everyone leisurely.

Fang Xuanling smiled in the middle of the court, and suddenly asked softly: "Why did the Tubo minister say this, I don't know what to say to teach me?" ”

Lu Dongzan coughed, and said proudly: "Looking at all the countries in the world, only Tubo can be compared with the Tang Dynasty, the Western Turks were defeated in a war, Tuyuhun suffered a white-haired wind last year, and the rest of the other countries in the Western Regions are all weak and ridiculous, and some countries even have only one city." How can such strength marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and if it is spread out, won't it make the world laugh? ”

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard slightly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, the national primary school is just for now, everything needs to look at the future, as long as the Tang Dynasty establishes diplomatic relations and supports, any small country can become a big country......"

The first assistant of the Tang Dynasty suddenly glanced at Lu Dongzan with great meaning, and said again: "The prime minister should understand how rich the dowry of the princess of my family is, such a dowry is injected into a certain country, and no matter how stupid the king is, he can take off!" ”

This is exactly what Lu Dongzan is worried about.

This time, Datang wants to marry a princess, not at all because of defeat and proximity. In all dynasties, the Central Plains and relatives paid women dowries, so the dowry given could be as little as possible, and even if they were given, they would only give gold, silver, silk and other things.

But Datang is different this time, people took the initiative to marry the princess, and they also gave a large amount of dowry, which is obviously a great temptation.

For example, the dowry is a book and atlas, which can be used to establish a cultural system in one's own country.

For example, a single ancient book can increase the country's humanistic thickness.

Fine ceramics are liked by all countries, who does not expect the technology of the Central Plains?

There is also the training strategy of the three guards of Xifu that is powerful in the world, 1,000 sets of fire flintlock pistols, divine arm crossbows, red-coated cannons, and hot air balloons......

This is a dignified conspiracy, don't fall into it.

Lu Dongzan took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I Tubo iron hooves swept the Jiannan Road, if the Tang Emperor can marry his daughter, then the prime minister can make the decision to ensure the withdrawal of troops, and from then on, the two countries have friendly diplomatic relations, and there will be no swords and soldiers within a hundred years." If the Tang Dynasty marries the princess to another country, it will be the greatest shame for Tubo, even if the battle is fought to the point of a single soldier, our emperor Songtsen Gampo will not collect troops. ”

These words are obviously using current affairs to blackmail, and it is obvious that Lu Dongzan is really in a hurry. He was not afraid of angering the Tang Dynasty ministers present, and now everything is to be able to marry the princess and get the dowry.

Sure enough, Fang Xuanling's face turned angry, and he accused Lu Dong of praise: "Ru invaded the Tang Dynasty, and the soldiers slaughtered the people, but now you are using the invasion as a marriage advantage, and you are kind to deceive me Datang?" ”

Lu Dongzan raised his eyebrows, and said lightly: "Between countries, it is either war or peace, Prime Minister Fang, don't be angry, you know that the Tang Dynasty has no way to take Tubo at present." If there is really a way, it is estimated that the grave grass of the true phase is already old, and His Majesty the Emperor will definitely push me out and behead me, how can he let me be arrogant in Chang'an......"

This thing knows current affairs accurately, and he speaks in a word. The reason why Datang endured his arrogance in Chang'an was precisely because the Tubo army was raging in Jiannan Road. Now that the war has not yet been decided, Li Shimin will never casually kill the envoys of Tibet.

Fang Xuanling flicked the sleeves of his robe angrily, and said angrily: "Don't be arrogant, you must know that the world changes and reincarnates." You Tubo slaughtered the people of Jiannan Province, and the king of Xifu Zhao has led a large army to pacify. At that time, it is still unknown whether Songtsan Xiaoer will be alive, and the ending of Daxiang is also unpredictable. ”

Lu Dongzan laughed, and said with confidence on his face: "King Zhao of Xifu is indeed invincible in the world, but the army of Xifu can't reach Jiannan for a while. Half a month ago, he fought against the Western Turks in the northwest, and even if he rushed to Jiannan non-stop, the Bashu Plank Road would slow down his pace......"

Saying that, he glanced at Fang Xuanling with a smile, and then said politely: "You and I are both the first assistants of the court, and we all know about all countries in the world, and I know that the Bashu plank road in the Tang Dynasty is difficult to walk, and 200,000 cavalry will have to walk for at least three months to pass." And after the plank road, it is no longer Jiannan, it takes another month to gallop long distances, so long enough time for the Tibetan army to wreak havoc on the entire Jiannan Road, and then the smoke is everywhere, I think your country can hardly bear this kind of loss. ”

Fang Xuanling made a look of rage, and said angrily: "But the army of His Royal Highness my family can always arrive, and all the grudges at the time of residence can be avenged." ”

Lu Dongzan looked up to the sky and said with a leisurely face: "Lord Fang is right, King Zhao of Xifu can indeed reach Jiannan, but if he can get there, can't I withdraw from Tibet?" I have four months to loot, and I can withdraw in advance for half a month. At that time, the Tubo army withdrew from Jiannan with a large amount of looted materials from Jiannan Dao, could it be that the three guards of Xifu dared to pursue? ”

He suddenly had a fierce look in his eyes, and said solemnly: "If you dare to pursue, then leave your life behind." The Han people can't go up to the plateau, and going up is a dead word. Even the invincible Xifu Sanwei is not good, this is the biggest barrier given to Tibet by the gods of the plateau. Only we can beat you, and you can't take revenge on me......"

Fang Xuanling stomped his feet fiercely, and shook the sleeves of his robe at Lu Dongzan, and after a long time, the first assistant of the Tang Dynasty spit out two words angrily, and said viciously: "Your Tubo is really a jackal." ”

Lu Dongzan smiled faintly and did not refute this.

……

This Tibetan minister thought he had a plan, but he didn't know that the first assistant of the Tang Dynasty was also acting.

Now Han Yue's Xifu army has already traveled up the river by boat, and it only takes ten days to enter the hinterland of Jiannan Road, but Fang Xuanling deliberately quarreled with Lu Dongzan, maybe this princess selection of a son-in-law itself is a delay.

Lu Dongzan suddenly bowed his hand to Li Shimin again, and said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you have seen the current affairs that it is the greatest interest for the princess of the Tang Dynasty to marry Tubo, and the rest of the countries cannot do the same. As long as the princess marries Songtsen Gampo, my Tubo will inevitably withdraw from the Central Plains. This appearance can be guaranteed with the head on the neck, and if you don't pull Your Majesty, you can cut off my head. ”

Li Shimin's eyes were leisurely, and he said meaningfully: "Your Excellency's head can't compare to the loss of my Datang......

The implication is very clear, if you marry a princess, you still don't talk about Tubo, then even if you kill you, the minister of Tubo, my Tang Dynasty will still suffer losses.

Lu Dongzan was stunned for a moment, suddenly took a deep breath, and swore loudly: "This prime minister can boast of Haikou, and Songtsen Gampo will definitely withdraw his troops." Benxiang helped him govern Tibet for many years, and the emperor of my family was reluctant to let me die. ”

As he spoke, he bowed to Li Shimin again, and said more and more solemnly: "Now Your Majesty can marry a daughter, as long as you marry a daughter, I will definitely withdraw my troops in Tibet." ”

Li Shimin was silent, as if thinking about the gains and losses, after a long time, Li Shimin seemed to be very embarrassed to look at the concubines on the side of the hall, and suddenly pointed to the eldest grandson Empress and praised Lu Dong: "I also want to marry Tubo, but I have an agreement with the queen." This time, my royal marriage daughter is not threatened by any worldly affairs, and I must give my princess a serious home......"

Lu Dongzan's heart suddenly sank, and people as smart as him had already heard the emperor's hidden meaning.

Sure enough, I saw Li Shimin slowly standing up from the dragon chair, his eyes had obviously become firm, and he said solemnly: "This time the Tang Dynasty marries a daughter, I should treat everyone equally, no matter which country in the world, you can participate in the marriage proposal." Before leaving, my family gave me a word of advice, saying that marriage is destined by heaven and should not be interfered with by manpower. In that case, let this marriage be predestined. ”

This is tantamount to directly denying Lu Dongzan's proposal to move forward, and giving the opportunity to all the envoys present.

Going around and returning to the original point, Lu Dongzan was obviously very unwilling in his heart, this Tubo prime minister's eyes flickered a few times, and suddenly arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty said that marriage depends on the sky, so where does the sky come from?" Immortals and ghosts are all ethereal, how important is the marriage of the princess of the Tang Dynasty, do you ask for ethereal ghosts and gods? ”

Li Shimin laughed, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the tip of his nose, and said proudly: "In the land of the Central Plains, I am the heaven of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Lu Dongzan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and blurted out: "In this way, isn't it still Your Majesty that you make the choice?" ”

Li Shimin stood with his hands in his hands, nodded leisurely and said, "Yes, it was my choice." But this choice is not influenced by current events, and all countries are treated equally. I will set up four difficult questions, which can be solved by the envoys of various countries at will, and the answers will be based on a pass-through system, and the winners will advance to the next round, and the losers will lose their qualifications for promotion. Four problems, each question is realized in six days, so after twenty-four days, everything will fall into place, where the princess of my family marries at the time of residence, everything depends on whether you envoys have the ability to do it......"

Speaking of this, he slowly stopped, and then said: "The envoys represent the dignity of a country, and the people who choose are the most outstanding people in the country, the so-called scholars are the death of confidants, and the envoys are loyal ministers of all countries, if you want to help the king of your country win the princess, then you have to do everything you can." ”

"This is a great goodness, Your Majesty really treats everyone equally!" The envoys present pondered for a moment, and they all bowed their hands in agreement.

Lu Dongzan's eyes flickered a few times, and he suddenly asked out loud: "What His Majesty the Tang Dynasty said just now is vague, and there is something that needs to be asked. ”

Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he nodded lightly and said, "You asked." ”

Lu Dongzan coughed and arched his hand: "Four problems, one question in six days, presumably each problem is very difficult, so Your Majesty will give six days to solve it." Then this envoy would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty whether the number of people is limited in this answer, and whether it is allowed to hire people by force......"

Li Shimin's eyes froze, staring straight at Lu Dongzan.
