After Changsun Wuji and his family left, many officials from the court came to congratulate them, and even Li Gang came. Li Gang's official position was not the largest in the court. However, Li Gang's identity was not simple. It was the most powerful person in the world.
A famous Confucian is known to everyone.
When Li Gang came to visit, Wang Can personally received him.
By the time we finished receiving today's visitors, it was already approaching application time in the afternoon.
Wang Can was finally free.
He went straight to the backyard to see Li You and chatted with Li You. When chatting with Li You, Wang Can mentioned Lu Dongzan and told the interesting story that Lu Dongzan came to visit him for two days, but something happened both days.
Son.
After listening to this, Li You also became happy.
But after all, she had been wandering around in the mall for such a long time, and she also knew that people must ask for something when being courteous, so she said: "Husband, Lu Dongzan has been here for two days, and he didn't say anything about things he encountered on both days.
I'm afraid he is not a good person, so you should be careful."
Wang Can said: "The purpose of Lu Dongzan's visit is to hope that I will come forward to help him and persuade the emperor to agree to marry Tubo. It is impossible for me to agree to this matter. As for the opinions of the court, the princes in the court do not agree."
Li You smiled and said: "So, Lu Dongzan's busy work in the past two days has been in vain."
"certainly!"
Wang Can said: "If it is other matters, I will help him out of his sincerity. However, when it comes to marriage, it is naturally impossible to agree. What's more, I am not in the court.
Even if you are an official, you cannot interfere."
Li You smiled and said, "That's what my husband said."
The couple were chatting, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. As they were chatting, the subject of the child was mentioned again, and Li You suddenly said: "Husband, tell me whether the child I am pregnant with is a boy or a girl."
Wang Can said: "Whether he is a boy or a girl, I like them both."
As soon as Li You heard this, he knew he couldn't ask.
Still too lazy to ask.
Li You talked about the child, and said that because there were too many gifts sent on this day, he estimated that after the child is born, whether it is food or clothing, it will be enough. Because the sheep were sent, it can be squeezed
Goat milk. There are also cows for milking. Even a tigress was sent.
There are all kinds of people who give gifts.
But when Li You said these words, there was a proud look on his face. Because all of this was brought about by Wang Can. Because Wang Can was here, this was all possible.
Time flew by, and when night came, Wang Can simply went back to the study alone.
After all, I live alone at night.
Wang Can read for a while in the evening and then went to bed early.
The next day, early morning.
Wang Can had just had breakfast in the morning and walked around with Li You. When he returned to the study, Lu Dongzan had already come again. Lu Dongzan came to visit today and still prepared some small gifts, all for the children.
of.
Wang Can met Lu Dongzan in the study.
This time, Lu Dongzan learned his lesson. He didn't waste time and immediately said: "Young Master Wang, I came today because I have something to ask for help from Young Master Wang."
Wang Can said: "Tell me."
Lu Dongzan said directly: "I, Songtsan Gampo, the Tubo Zanpu, have admired the Tang Dynasty for a long time. Therefore, Zanpu sent me to Chang'an, hoping to obtain the Tang princess and promote a marriage between the two countries."
Wang Can said calmly: "Does this matter have anything to do with me?"
Lu Dongzan opened his mouth and said: "I want Prince Wang to know that this time Zanpu wants to marry the Princess of Tang Dynasty. But in the court, all the Gonggun princes do not agree. This matter has been delayed here. I am going out this time.
The envoy, entrusted by Zanpu, cannot fail. Therefore, I hope that the prince can help me and persuade the emperor to agree to the marriage."
Wang Can said: "Songtsen Gampo is so good, why should he marry the princess of Tang Dynasty?"
Lu Dongzan immediately said: "Zanpu has always admired the Tang Dynasty and has great respect for the culture of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he hopes to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty."
Wang Can sneered in his heart.
Songtsen Gampo was not a kind person.
The reason why he wanted to marry was just to achieve great justice. He said that he married the princess of the Tang Dynasty because he had the support of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the Tang Dynasty was the most powerful capital, and it controlled many tribes and small countries in Tubo.
It is said that the Tang Dynasty has great intimidating power.
With the background of the Tang Dynasty, it would be easier for Songtsen Gampo to unite Tibet.
This is fundamental.
Wang Can understood Songtsan Gampo and said with a smile: "I remember back then, Songtsan Gampo said that he liked Princess Chizun, so he sent people to attack the capital of Princess Chizun's country, and finally forced the other party to agree to the marriage. Now, Songtsen Gampo
Bu also admired the Tang Dynasty, so during this period, he sent troops to attack the borders of the Tang Dynasty several times. Is this also his admiration for the Tang Dynasty?"
At this point, Wang Can's eyebrows gained a sharp look and he said, "Maybe the Tubo people are used to attacking each other and stabbing them with weapons when they show they have a good impression."
Lu Dongzan was immediately embarrassed.
What Wang Can said is what happened.
Even the war on the border of the Tang Dynasty was planned by Lu Dongzan. Because Lu Dongzan had already considered it and thought that the Tang Dynasty might not agree to the marriage, he sent troops to attack the border and put pressure on the Tang Dynasty, so that the Tang Dynasty agreed to the marriage.
A marriage.
Lu Dongzan took a deep breath and said: "Master Wang, Zanpu admires the Tang Dynasty. That is true. As for conflicts on the border, it is actually normal. On the border between the two countries, there are often some frictions, which is also normal. Brother
There are times when there are quarrels between two countries, let alone two countries?"
Wang Can smiled and said: "Lu Dongzan, your metaphor is quite apt. Unfortunately, you can't follow my path. I have always disagreed with any kind of marriage. What I agree with is not for others of my race.
The heart must be different, and it is clear that those who offend the powerful Han will be punished no matter how far away they are. Therefore, when the Tibetan conflict occurred on the border, I did not suggest a large-scale war. I am really lucky."
After a pause, Wang Can continued: "You, Lu Dongzan, are a smart man. I only want to say this because you sincerely came to visit me in the past two days. Okay, I have said what I need to say. Please help me."
Please don’t say any more about it.”
Lu Dongzan's heart suddenly sank.
Even a little confused.
He didn't expect that it would end up like this.
Lu Dongzan's mind was spinning rapidly, and he was thinking of ways to persuade Wang Can. However, after thinking about it, he found that he was at a loss for words and could not find a breakthrough that could impress Wang Can.
The situation becomes complicated.
If Lu Dongzan can't make a breakthrough with Wang Can, then Lu Dongzan really has no choice.
Lu Dongzan said in a deep voice: "Master Wang, for you, this is actually an easy matter. Do you really want to refuse? Are you really so heartless?"
Wang Can said: "I'm so heartless, what's wrong? Is it possible that you want to do something to me?"
Lu Dongzan noticed Wang Can's gaze.
The gaze was sharp, as if it was about to penetrate his heart.
At this moment, Lu Dongzan was even more frightened in his heart, because Wang Can in front of him suddenly changed his attitude. Although his expression did not change much, in fact, it gave people an extremely terrifying feeling.
Lu Dongzan immediately shook his head and said: "Young Master Wang is joking, how could I do it? We came to the Tang Dynasty this time to beg the princess and to express our goodwill. It is impossible to enmity."
Wang Can said: "As long as you understand."
Lu Dongzan felt so sad in his heart that he stopped staying and resigned immediately.
Wang Can had no regrets about Lu Dongzan's departure. To Wang Can, Lu Dongzan was just a passerby, and it was impossible to have any intersection with Wang Can.
After Lu Dongzan left, he went straight back to the place where he lived.
His face was extremely gloomy.
Because this was spent on Wang Can, a full two days were delayed, but in the end, nothing was accomplished. Such a result made Lu Dongzan very dissatisfied.
Below Lu Dongzan, there were also people who came with Lu Dongzan.
When they heard the news, they all looked unhappy.
"Xiang Lu, let's just go all out and capture Wang Can's family. As long as we capture Wang Can's family, I won't believe it. Wang Can dares not to cooperate."
This is a Tubo warrior.
Lu Dongzan snorted and scolded: "Bastard, have you forgotten the information we found out? Puji from Qinglong Temple and Xuan Zhao are both highly skilled in martial arts. They went to Wang's house to find Wang Can
But in the end, the two of them were hung up. It is definitely not cost-effective for us to confront Wang Can."
The warrior said: "Xiang Lu, what should we do now?"
Lu Dongzan said in a deep voice: "The only way now is to go to see the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty again. What's more, this matter has not been decided in the first place, but there is a dispute in the court. As long as the emperor agrees to the marriage, then
In the end, there is no problem. Wang Can's opinions, the prince's opinions, and even the opinions of some officials are unimportant."
The warrior sighed: "Xiang Lu, we are really at a disadvantage. When we set out, Zanpu not only arranged his troops to go to the border to cause trouble, but even wanted to enter the territory of the Tang Dynasty. But now, there is no news at all. If
Since we are strong, we are not afraid of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty disapproving of us. Anyway, we are barefoot and not afraid of those who wear shoes."
Lu Dongzan said: "The strength of the Tang Dynasty is extremely strong. There is no news from the border right now, so we can only rely on ourselves for everything. Be prepared. There will be a great court meeting tomorrow. At that time, I will personally enter the palace and request the emperor.
.When the time comes, many officials will object, and I will refute them one by one. In short, this matter must be arranged no matter what."
The warrior said solemnly: "Tomorrow will be another difficult day!"
Lu Dongzan laughed when he heard this.
In Datang, there was no day that was not difficult, and every day was extremely difficult. He spent these two days visiting Wang Can. He tried his best, but in the end, it was of no use. Instead, he was beaten by Wang Can.
This time, he was even humiliated by Wang Can.
Such a result was extremely uncomfortable for Lu Dongzan, but he had to accept it.
