Chapter 297: Tubo repents of marriage
Early the next morning, the Tibetan Prime Minister Lu Dongzan asked to see Wang Ning, the secretary of Honglu Temple, saying that he had something important to ask to see His Majesty the Tang Emperor, and Wang Ning hurriedly reported to Li Shimin.
Foreign ministers make pilgrimages, generally at the big court meeting, the Tibetan minister suddenly asked to meet, which made Li Shimin feel a little surprised, just the next day is a small court meeting once every three days, Li Shimin is scheduled to meet Lu Dongzan at the small court meeting tomorrow.
On the morning of August 23, when the small court meeting began, Li Shimin announced that Lu Dongzan entered the Liangyi Hall to meet him, and Lu Dongzan walked into the Liangyi Hall alone to pay a salute to Li Shimin.
After all the etiquette, Li Shimin asked: "What's the matter with the Tibetan minister, who is so anxious to see me?" ”
Lu Dongzan said slowly: "Back to His Majesty the Tang Emperor, Ge Erdong Zan has just received a letter from Zampu, Zampu asked the stranger to calculate the national fortune, and the stranger said that if Tubo wants to prosper and continue, it cannot enter the daughter of the East. ”
"What?" Li Shimin frowned when he heard this, "You Zampu want to repent of marriage?" ”
The officials in the hall were taken aback, among them Li Daozong was the most shocked, he didn't expect Tubo to really withdraw from the marriage, and suddenly felt that Li Hao was too awesome, I really don't know how he did it, and he could actually let Tubo take the initiative to regret the marriage, it was incredible, he couldn't help but glance at Li Hao secretly.
Li Hao also came to participate in the small court meeting today, people who usually don't even participate in the big court meeting, actually came to participate in the small court meeting, this is too abnormal, but no one can find out the reason for his abnormality, at this moment Li Hao is standing in the queue on the ground, closing his eyes and recuperating, as if all this has nothing to do with him.
Although Lu Dongzan said it extremely tactfully, he was broken by Li Shimin, yes, they just want to repent of marriage.
Lu Dongzan didn't feel embarrassed, after all, in his opinion, it was the Tang Dynasty who had ill intentions, so he said seriously: "Back to His Majesty the Tang Emperor, for the sake of the national fortune of Tubo, Zampu had to endure the pain of cutting his love, you need to know that marrying a Tang princess is Zampu's lifelong wish." ”
"Ridiculous." Li Shimin glared and said angrily, "My golden mouth has been opened, and the holy oracle has been issued, but you want to withdraw from the marriage, should I be a bully?" ”
Li Shimin was right to be angry, in Lu Dongzan's view, Li Shimin was angry because the plan was broken, and it would be abnormal if he didn't get angry, he slowly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "My family Zampu knows that he is sorry for His Majesty the Tang Emperor, and I specially ask Ge Dongzan to apologize to the Tang Emperor on his behalf." After that, he kowtowed to Li Shimin repeatedly.
Li Hao opened his eyes when he heard this, and saw Lu Dongzan's kowtowing appearance, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he secretly thought in his heart: "This Lu Dongzan is not only resourceful, but also in a high position without arrogance, can bend and stretch, such a person can achieve great things!" ”
Seeing Lu Dongzan like this, Li Shimin couldn't get angry, but he was still very depressed and said impatiently: "Okay, okay!" Get up! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Tang Emperor." Lu Dongzan got up, and from beginning to end, his expression didn't change much.
Li Shimin said: "Since Songtsen Gampo wants to withdraw from the marriage, then I can't force it, and submit the national credentials." ”
Lu Dongzan has any national letters, this is all his temporary decision, as for Songtsan Gampo to ask a stranger to calculate the national fortune, that is even more nonsense, so he continued to talk nonsense in a serious manner: "Back to His Majesty the Tang Emperor, the messenger met a horse bandit on the way, lost the national letter, and only sent a handwritten letter from my family Zanpu. ”
"What! Even lost your credentials? Li Shimin felt that today's events were a little weird, but he couldn't say what was weird, so he could only say helplessly, "Then I will submit the letter." ”
"Yes." Lu Dongzan took out a letter from his bosom and held it high above his head.
The attendant walked over to take the letter and forwarded it to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin opened the envelope, unfolded it, and twisted his eyebrows: "How is it Tubowen!" ”
That's right, this letter was forged by Lu Dongzan, in order to prevent the horse's feet from being exposed, he wrote it in Tubo, and Tubo Zanpu wrote a letter to the Tubo minister, is it in Chinese characters if he doesn't use Tubo? As for the seal, it is also a forged seal, and no one has ever seen Songtsen Gampo's private seal anyway, who will know whether it is true or fake.
Lu Dongzan's face did not change and said: "Back to His Majesty the Tang Emperor, this letter was written by Zampu to Geerdongzan, so it is in Tubo, if Your Majesty wants to read it, Geerdongzan can read it to Your Majesty in court." ”
"That's it." Li Shimin handed the letter to the attendant with interest, returned it to Lu Dongzan, and said, "There is no need to read it, since Songtsan Gampo wants to regret marriage, then regret marriage, my princess of the Tang Dynasty, is it still worried that she will not be able to marry." ”
Anyway, Tubo has asked to withdraw from the marriage, and the letter of the state letter is not important, it is just a formality, since there is no national letter, then there is no need to go through the motions, and the matter is directly settled.
At this time, the crown prince, who was listening to the government on the side, suddenly said: "Father, this matter must not be so hasty, the sons and daughters think that there must be something strange in it." ”
"What's the problem?" Li Shimin turned his head to look at Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian was stunned: "Erchen...... The sons don't know, but this is too hasty, and there is no national certificate, how can he suddenly regret the marriage? ”
Li Shimin is unhappy, Lao Tzu does things, and he still uses you to teach? But now that he is above the court, he can't openly reprimand Li Chengqian, and raises his hand and says: "This matter has been decided, and the prince will not say it." ”
Li Chengqian was depressed, and looked at Li Hao angrily in a blink of an eye, Li Hao also looked at him with a light smile, his eyes were full of ridicule, the two looked at each other, and shot out firelight, now I don't need to check to know, Li Ping was named Princess Wencheng, it must be the prince's masterpiece.
For Li Chengqian, Li Hao repeatedly tolerated it, he was not afraid of Li Chengqian, but he didn't want to anger Li Shimin, this is Li Shimin's bottom line, even Wei Zheng didn't dare to cross it easily, Li Hao asked himself if he was not so capable.
But Li Chengqian really angered Li Hao this time, even Lao Tzu's woman dared to move, she was tired of being crooked, right, let you dance for a while, when the time is ripe, the new hatred and old accounts will be counted together, prince? Hehe, I can't kill you!
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the ministers went out of the imperial city, and Lu Yun and Lin Dingkun were waiting there with the lion in the distance, Zhu Ruihuan did not come, why, because Li Hao was afraid that Basutuo would see Zhu Ruihuan, then the matter would be exposed, so let Zhu Ruihuan hide for a period of time, and then let Zhu Ruihuan come out and walk around after Basutuo left Chang'an.
Li Hao walked towards Lu Yun, Li Daozong suddenly caught up from behind him, three meters away from him, walking side by side, Li Daozong said quietly: "It's the prince." He was telling Li Hao that the matter of letting Li Ping marry Tubo was instigated by the prince.
"I know." Li Hao continued to walk and replied lightly, looking from a distance, the two seemed to be walking separately.
Li Daozong asked again: "How did you do it?" His meaning was obvious, and he asked Li Hao how to make Tubo take the initiative to repent of his marriage.
"Secret." Li Hao replied briefly, quickened his pace, and walked forward alone.
In the East Palace, Li Chengqian was angry in the room, slapping the table, breaking the stool, making the room as if it had been attacked by a missile, after venting, he collapsed on the ground and cried, crying so sadly, he just wanted to take revenge and retaliate against Li Hao, but every time it ended in failure, he was so frustrated, as the prince of a country, the conspiracy and conspiracy were used, even a little young man couldn't be defeated, and if he couldn't be defeated, forget it, but this Li Hao was still on the rise, and he was only twenty-one years old when he was crowned Hou, on the other hand, a lame prince, so pitiful.
It didn't take long for a beautiful-looking man to push the door and walk in, why use the word Miaoli to describe a man, because this man is too beautiful, if he changes into women's clothes, he is a big beauty who is alive and well, and this man is Li Chengqian's favorite Taichang Temple Le Ren - satisfied. What kind of place is Taijoji Temple, it is a place that specializes in cultivating mercy, various musicians, dancers, jugglers, etc., it is an entertainment department.
Satisfaction is from Taichang Temple, when he was in Taichang Temple, it was a pillar-like existence, but men and women, good at singing and dancing, beautiful appearance, Li Chengqian saw him at a glance, he liked it, and asked him to come to his side.
Satisfied with the heart in the Taichang Temple to live a hard life, suddenly by the prince to look down, that is naturally infinite joy, it just so happens that his heart has also changed because of many years of dressing up as a woman, so the prince has been serving obediently.
"Your Highness." He called softly, his tone soft and a little worried.
"Satisfied." Li Chengqian pulled him to sit down, hugged him, and asked, "Do you say that Lone is very incompetent?" ”
"Why does Your Highness say that?" Chengxin was surprised when he heard this, "Your Highness is the crown prince, how can you be incompetent." ”
"Isn't the prince incompetent?" Li Chengqian laughed at himself, "I can't even defeat Li Hao, I'm really incompetent, I'm just a waste." ”
"Your Highness, don't say that." Xiangxin stretched out his hand and gently covered Li Chengqian's mouth with his five fingers, and said slowly, "Your Highness wants to bring down Li Hao, what is the difficulty, just wait for Your Highness to ascend the throne, then the world will be Your Highness, and when the time comes, Your Highness will want Li Hao to die, that is not a matter of one sentence." ”
"Yes, you are right, this world will be lonely in the end, and Li Hao's life will also be lonely." Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and groaned, suddenly pulled his heart to get up, walked out, and said loudly as he walked, "Someone!" Played! Prepare sake! ”
After experiencing failure, Li Chengqian could only use alcohol to numb himself and fool around in the East Palace, perhaps in this way he could relieve the pain in his heart.
The banquet was going on happily, the prince's left hand Zhang Xuansu suddenly broke in, and after coming in, he saw the eunuchs and palace ladies chasing and playing here, smiling in the prince's arms, and the prince fed and drank.
"What a system! What a system! Zhang Xuansu was so angry that he trembled all over, shouted angrily, the silk and bamboo wind music suddenly stopped, and the palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they hid.
Zhang Xuansu walked up to Li Chengqian angrily, glared and said: "Your Highness, as the prince of a country, should put state affairs first, how can you drink and feast in the deep palace like this, and have fun with the eunuchs and palace maids, what kind of system!" ”
The pity he said in his mouth naturally meant that he was satisfied, and this sentence immediately angered Li Chengqian, it was not the first time he had made a mistake, nor was it the first time he had been disciplined, but he had basically violated the yang and yin before, and the matter passed like this, but this time, Zhang Xuansu actually rebuked the heart, which angered his bottom line, and the most important thing was ...... He was now half-drunk, and as the saying goes, wine is a bold man.
Li Chengqian took advantage of the strength of the wine, slammed the table, stood up and shouted: "What's wrong with me drinking with them?" Delayed state affairs? ”
"You ......" Zhang Xuansu didn't expect Li Chengqian's attitude to be so bad this time, and he exhaled angrily, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are the future king, you need to focus on state affairs, you should introduce more palace ministers, and set up a wide range of bureaucrats to assist Ruide......"
"That's it! Stop it! Li Chengqian waved his hand violently and said impatiently, "It's all these broken truths all day long, my ears are cocooned, don't be annoyed, I just drink some wine and listen to some fun, what's in the way of you, you let me meet you more, okay, you come and have a drink with Gu!" ”
"You...... You ......" Zhang Xuansu was so angry that his beard trembled, he didn't expect the prince to say such a bastard thing, he was so heartbroken, he felt that all these years of preaching had been wasted on dogs.
