Chapter 1913 This Lu Dongzan gave me a love for talent
In the Honglu Temple Post House, other members of the Tubo envoy have returned to the post house.
Everyone's mood was not high, and it could even be said that they seemed a little depressed. After all, they were in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
Those thieves from the Xiangxiong Kingdom came to Chang'an to publish articles criticizing Tibet's despicable, shameless and capricious articles, which also made their faces burn.
After all, this kind of thing has been done, but after all, it needs to be kept low-key and develop, but I never expected that the gangsters of Xiangxiong Kingdom would directly lift the fig leaf of Tibet.
This caused the attitude of the common people and officials of the Tang Dynasty towards them to change almost 180 degrees.
Afterwards, in order to complete the important tasks entrusted by the king, Prime Minister Lu Dongzan led everyone to travel towards the Eastern Capital at night and at night.
The eight hundred miles of wind, frost, snow and rain made everyone suffer a lot, but everyone hoped to complete the mission successfully.
As long as they can fulfill the great trust of the king and return to Tubo, they, the members of the mission, will definitely be able to benefit.
But when they fully expected that Prime Minister Lu Dongzan, the most wise man in Tubo, could complete the task.
As a result, the news came out from the palace that his prime minister Lu Dongzan had a battle of wits and courage with the young talent of the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Chubi.
As a result, he lost even his crotch cloth, and even lost the qualification to ask the Tang Dynasty to marry a princess to his country's leader.
On the contrary, Lu Dongzan, as the prime minister of Tubo, surrendered to the Tang Empire on behalf of Tubo and would never violate the border.
This contrast was so huge that everyone was stunned when the news came out from the palace, which immediately confused all the members of the envoy.
But when they saw the two deputy envoys Sambuza and Naqinling coming out of the palace after the court meeting was over, they were going to visit Luoyang, the eastern capital, very cordially with His Highness King Wu of the Tang Dynasty.
The envoy of the envoy, Prime Minister Lu Dongzan, was left in the palace by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to give him a banquet, and asked them, the rest of the envoy, to go back to the post house to wait.
At this moment, deep inside a small, secluded courtyard of the post house, Tashi, the escort general of the mission, was sitting with a livid face as he read the case.
He was a general in the army of the Lord of Tubo. On the orders of the Lord of Tibet, he escorted Tibetan Prime Minister Ludongzan, Qinling and Sambuza as envoys to the Tang Dynasty.
And he is also the supervisor arranged by the king of the country, Songtsen Gampo, in this team.
On the surface, he is a guard general who protects the safety of the mission, but he has the secret mission of secretly recording the words and deeds of Lu Dongzan and others and handing them over to the king.
Lu Dong praised this Tibetan wise man, the most famous Tubo prime minister, but he seemed to regard him as a vulgar warrior who only knew how to wield swords and swords.
As for Prime Minister Lu Dongzan's behavior, he silently watched it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
Everything was developing on the right track. Even after problems occurred in Chang'an, Prime Minister Lu Dongzan's decision made him admire him deeply.
Until now, he was still looking forward to seeing Lu Dongzan successfully complete his mission and return to the post house, so that he could express his admiration and congratulations to the prime minister.
However, the news brought by the members of the envoy who followed Lu Dongzan to the palace in Dongdu immediately shocked Tashi.
Everything was reversed. Not only did Lu Dongzan fail to persuade the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to marry the princess, but he actually represented Tubo's submission to the Tang Dynasty and would never violate its borders.
And the cause of all this was Cheng Sanlang, a talented person among the younger generation of the Tang Dynasty.
After listening to the report from his subordinates, Tashi, who was slow to speak and quick to act, sat behind the desk, feeling really angry and helpless.
"That's just a bastard!" Tashi roared angrily as he hit the case with his palm.
The guards of the envoy were all terrified, and they lowered their heads and did not dare to speak out to persuade him.
"Why did he give up a good situation? Yesterday, the official of Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty had already said it himself."
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has already intended to marry the princess to our king. By doing so, he is simply betraying Tubo."
An official from the mission next to him was startled by his words and quickly spoke to persuade him.
"General Tashi, be careful. General... you must never say this."
Tashi's eyes widened angrily and he shouted at the official who spoke.
"Why can't he say it? He can do it, but I, the general, can't say it?"
Seeing this guard general who seemed very low-key and respectful to Prime Minister Lu Dongzan along the way, he became angry. The officials of the mission were immediately confused and could not utter a complete sentence without opening their mouths for a long time.
Another official next to him quickly said, "General Tashi, I feel that the reason why the Prime Minister did this must be because he couldn't do it."
Tashi was extremely angry and glared viciously at the officials of the mission who spoke for Lu Dongzan.
"The reason? The reason is to give up the entrustment of the king and then surrender to the Tang Dynasty?"
"Don't forget that although Talu Dongzan is the lord of the Xue family, the lord of the country is the king of the entire Tubo."
"..." When these officials saw General Tashi's attitude of being so angry that he wanted to chop someone with a knife, they could only shrink their necks and quietly obey.
Come on, I really have nothing to say to this vulgar warrior who only knows how to chop people with knives. I can only wait for the Prime Minister to come back and let the Prime Minister tell him in person.

At this moment, Lu Dongzan and His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had arrived at the Yaoguang Hall located in the Jiuzhou Pool.
At this moment, he looked a little restless and looked outside the palace frequently. Finally, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was very talkative, stood up and saluted while he was drinking tea to soothe his throat.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Tang, I have been in the palace for too long. I don't know what is happening to my subordinates now."
"Your Majesty, please allow me to leave first and come back another day to listen to His Majesty the Tang Emperor's teachings."
Li Shimin glanced outside the hall pretending to be careless, and when he saw the dusk sky, he suddenly raised his hand and hit his forehead.
"Oh, you and I hit it off like old friends at first sight, and we actually forgot about the time while we were chatting."
"Well, there are many things going on today, so I won't keep you here, but I have agreed to have an in-depth talk with you another day."
Li Shimin walked slowly to the entrance of the palace and watched a eunuch leading Nalu Dongzan quickly towards the dock.
Zhao Kun, the confidant guard leader who has been following His Majesty, couldn't help but whisper in a low voice.
"Why does Your Majesty have such special regard for this Lu Dongzan? Is it possible that he is still a great talent?"
Li Shimin stroked his long beard, and when he saw Lu Dongzan boarding the boat and turning around, he waved his hand. He didn't speak until the boat was far away.
"This person has extraordinary popularity, is not afraid of honor or disgrace, has a moderate ability to advance and retreat, is knowledgeable, and is extremely insightful in handling matters."
"He gave me a love for talents. If he can stay in the Tang Dynasty, he can help me."
