Chapter 193 Shangguan Wan'er, the smallest messenger in history
After Li Yan finished speaking, Zan Xiruo was stunned.
And Li Yan had already said to Zhu Dan: "Go and convey my thoughts to the princess and listen to her opinions."
Zhudan looked at Zan Xiruo, shrank, and quickly lowered his head: "This matter...this matter..."
When she faced the Brenzan Blade, she had an expression that she didn't want to provoke.
When facing Zan Xiruo, there was an obvious fear on his face.
This reaction made Zan Xiruo smile: "Since Deputy Ambassador Li has such a suggestion, Zhudan, go report it to the princess and ask her if she is willing to interrogate the case?"
Even Zan Pu was not taken seriously by him, so what is the princess without the Lu family?
If you really want to hand over the matter to this palace guard, with just one sentence, you have to let him go obediently!
The female general Zhu Dan said with a trembling voice: "Yes!"
Li Yan was unambiguous and ordered directly: "Hand over the prison car to them!"
The female general Zhu Dan watched with helplessness as her sallow-faced subordinates took over the management of the prison car.
Before leaving, I did not forget to salute Zan Xiruo deeply.
Zan Xiruo was too lazy to pay attention and only made an invitation gesture to the envoys: "Envoys please!"
"please!"
On this side, headed by Li Yiyan and Li Yan, the Tang Dynasty envoys officially moved into the Dalun Mansion.
On the other side, the female general Zhudan escorted the prisoners all the way into the Potala Palace.
Stepping into the palace, when everyone around her was replaced by palace guards, her expression suddenly changed.
The panic disappeared and was replaced by calmness.
After setting up the prison car, the female general Zhudan walked quickly without anyone else, and arrived at the palace where Zanpu lived, and Qujie Zhebu.
The gorgeous palace is located in the center of the Potala Palace, with the top of Maburi Mountain below it. Songtsen Gampo liked to practice intensively here.
Later, after Mangsong Mangzan succeeded to the throne, he also lived in this palace on weekdays.
This is Songtsen Gampo's grandson, not his son.
Because his father died before Songtsen Gampo, at the age of eighteen, and Songtsen Gampo had only one son, so his grandson succeeded him directly after his death.
The emperor's grandson, Zhu Yun, is too old to be like Zhu Di.
It is a pity that when he succeeded to the throne at the age of thirteen, the power of Tubo was firmly controlled by Lu Dongzan. Now he is thirty-five years old and he is still acting as a puppet.
The female general Zhu Dan smelled the strong smell of the soup and walked into the palace. She saw Zamp lying drowsily on the bed with the princess taking care of him.
She saluted respectfully: "Zanpu, Princess, Chen Zhudan welcomes the return of the Tang envoy."
Zamp groaned and muttered something unknown.
The princess immediately stood up, came to Zhudan, helped her up, and held her hand: "It's been a hard journey. The Gal family didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
Zhudan was held by a pair of warm hands, and her heart felt warm: "Thank you, Princess, I was not embarrassed."
The princess smiled, took her to the steps aside, and sat down side by side: "Sisters, please don't thank me, tell me what you have seen along the way, and who are the outstanding figures in the Tang Dynasty envoy?"
Zhu Dan said: "I didn't see anything special on the way. It's just that more and more refugees are gathering towards the royal city. It's very strange that Zan Xiruo doesn't restrain them."
The princess's smile was still gentle: "There is nothing better than showing weakness to the enemy and then taking advantage of it. If Zan Xiruo has learned Lu Dongzan's literary theory, he will be a qualified lecturer."
Zhu Dan added: "The chief and deputy envoys of the Tang Dynasty all have the surname Li, and they seem to come from the same clan. During the escort, I heard the deputy envoy Li call the envoy Li his uncle."
The princess understood: "People in the Tang Dynasty have big families, which are passed down from generation to generation. Since deputy envoy Li is a grand-nephew, we only need to pay attention to the chief envoy."
Zhu Dan was about to stop and then said: "But according to my observation, Brenzan is more afraid of Deputy Ambassador Li. His fear of that person is probably not a show, but he is really afraid of him."
The princess was surprised: "In the territory of Tubo, are you afraid of the envoys of the Tang Dynasty?"
Zhu Dan said: "And Deputy Envoy Li is really too young and has not yet reached the crown."
The princess was very surprised: "Not yet crowned? Even if you are from a rich family in the Tang Dynasty, you will not use a child who is not crowned. What is the name of this deputy envoy?"
Zhu Dan said: "The surname is Li, the given name is Yan, and the courtesy name is Yuanfang. According to the etiquette of the Tang people, we should call him Li Yuanfang."
"Li Yuanfang...Li Yuanfang..."
The princess repeated the name several times and became interested, but she sighed: "Our information is too limited, all the information is controlled by the Yongzhong Divine Guards of the Gar family, and we don't even know what outstanding figures there are in the Tang Dynasty.
"
Zhudan rolled his eyes, lowered his voice, and changed to the language of Su Pi: "Princess, that Li Yuanfang also mentioned our Su Pi, saying that because of Master Xuanzang's "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", many people in the Tang Dynasty had no idea about our Su Pi.
They are very fond of us and call us the Daughter Kingdom. There are also many letters here, please read them to the princess!"
The princess took the letter, and read the first two letters carefully, then hurriedly scanned the rest, half-smiling: "The Kingdom of Women? This is such a nice name, and it seems that they do understand us, but do you believe what he said?"
Zhu Dan said: "I...I somewhat believe it."
"When people from other countries praise us and we are so happy that we forget about it, it is a sign of inferiority in our hearts!"
The princess threw the letter aside casually: "Since Tubo occupied the Western Region and the two countries broke off diplomatic relations, the Tang people are now sending envoys again. They just saw the power of Qinling's troops and wanted to use Zanpu's hand to suppress them! They also discovered the power of the Gar family.
It’s so big that they think of us, the remaining people of Supi. We, the people of Supi, have already had a very hard life, and we can no longer be used by them!”
Zhudan lowered his head: "Oh!"
Her fear of Zan Xiruo was feigned, but the blood of Su Pi in her bones made her unwilling to be a useless palace guard.
After a moment of silence, he whispered: "But those Tang people captured the Yongzhong Divine Guard of the Gar family and handed the prisoner to me, saying that they wanted the princess to interrogate him!"
The princess was startled, and her back straightened instantly: "Tell me carefully, what exactly is going on?"
Zhu Dan discussed the arguments between the two parties in front of the mansion.
The princess immediately put on an encrypted call: "We need to think about Su Bi's future!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhu Dan: "..."
The princess said sternly: "Without the protection of the Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun would have been annexed long ago, but it was not until they reached Goguryeo that Lu Dongzan dared to formally send troops. Tuyuhun was destroyed, and Zanpu was very sad!"
Having said this, she looked at Zamp on Hu's bed.
Zampu's mother was a concubine who was born in Tuyuhun. When he became an adult, he tried to unite the forces of his mother's clan.
As a result, Lu Dongzan did not press him and directly sent troops to destroy Tuyuhun. Zanpu became seriously ill and was unable to recover.
The power of the princess comes from Zampu. Zampu is a pure puppet. You can imagine the life she has lived these years. At this time, her voice is high: "The Tang Dynasty is too powerful. If they had set their sights here, Gar
The family will not be so strong! The envoys of the Tang Dynasty are here this time, and if we can use their power, we will have a chance to cheer up Zamp!"
Zhu Dan naturally hoped so in his heart, but he asked: "But if the Tang envoy is now placed in his house and monitored by Zan Xi, how can we contact them?"
The princess frowned and suddenly looked at the letters scattered aside, her eyes brightening.
She immediately stood up, picked up the letters one by one, and carefully stacked them beside her.
Then he took a pen and paper, wrote a letter, and handed it to Zhu Dan: "To bring this to the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, it is best to give it to the deputy envoy Li Yuanfang!"
Zhu Dan understood: "Yes!"
…
Talk about the house.
In the main hall, Zan Xiruo invited all the envoys to the table and started a banquet.
Dishes were served one after another, full of Tang Dynasty flavor.
Lu Dongzan went to the Tang Dynasty many times as an envoy and really learned a lot when he returned.
Everyone was satisfied with the dishes, but after the tea soup was served, Li Yan frowned visibly after taking a sip.
Zan Xiruo observed his words: "Deputy Ambassador Li doesn't seem to like Sichuan tea very much?"
Li Yan said: "Sichuan tea is of the highest quality and has been circulated since the Han Dynasty. I like it, but your country still uses this method of mixing tea soup, which we are not used to."
Zan Xiruo looked at others and found that they did have similar discomforts. He was very confused: "The tea soup was passed down to me from your country in Tubo. Apart from this, is there any other way to drink it?"
Li Yan smiled calmly, and your question was a professional one: "There are three types of tea drinking methods in the Tang Dynasty, tea soup, tea products and sencha. Tea soup is mostly used by monks for morning classes. Nowadays, even monks no longer drink it.
It is a tea prepared with orange peel, honey, pepper and other ingredients. As for sencha, it retains the fragrance of the tea. It nourishes the body, prevents bloating, and is convenient afterward."
Zan Xiruo frowned slightly when he heard about the efficacy of sencha: "Then I really need Deputy Ambassador Li to give me more advice!"
Li Yan said: "It's easy to talk about!"
Zan Xiruo was not in a hurry, so as not to be manipulated by the other party, he changed the topic: "Haha, drinking too much can make you drunk and tasteless, so why not follow the drinking rules?"
Influenced by his father, he had a very good understanding of the culture of the Tang Dynasty. Not only could he speak Chinese to a standard, but he was also very knowledgeable about it, and he even had to drink wine.
Among the four leaders of the envoy, Li Yiyan disdained to drink with the Tibetan people, Li Yan had simple cultural attainments, and Shen Juyuan was a cultural desert. Fortunately, Yang Zaisi came forward, drank and sang, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
Returning to the room arranged by Zan Xiruo for the envoy, Li Yan looked at the decoration in the room and found that it was not much worse than in the Duke Wei's mansion.
Thinking of the refugees on the streets and the excess meat and wine at the banquet, he shook his head.
The rich wine and meat stink, and the roads are frozen to death. This is the same no matter which country it is.
He walked out of the house and came to the stable where the lion was stored, and waved to Xiao Hei who was still squatting behind the horse.
Xiao Hei flew over happily, and Li Yan said: "Go and bring Wan'er over!"
Xiao Hei immediately ran to the house where the Su Pi woman was housed, and soon brought Shangguan Wan'er to him.
Li Yan was very pleased to see her working hard to learn on her own: "Good disciple, did you learn the Supi language in the palace?"
The life in the palace appeared in Shangguan Wan'er's mind, and her mood instantly dropped, and she said pitifully, "Yes!"
Li Yan rubbed her little head and expressed his expectation: "What you have learned may be of great use. The smallest envoy in history, our mission's breakthrough in Tubo depends on you!"
