The golden sunshine shone in Chang'an City, making the whole Chang'an seem to be paved with a layer of gold. And the silent Chang'an City suddenly woke up and became noisy and lively, with people coming and going, and there was an endless flow.
At this time, Lu Dongzan was already waiting outside the main hall of the imperial city, waiting for the emperor to declare his audience.
However, Lu Dongzan waited for a long time and saw no movement.
Lu Dongzan could only wait patiently.
When they reached the third pole of the sun and Lu Dongzan stood a little drowsy, suddenly, a sharp voice came from the hall: "Xuan Lu Dongzan comes to see you."
When Lu Dongzan heard this, he was shocked.
I woke up immediately.
Lu Dongzan took a deep breath, raised his hand and slapped his face hard to wake himself up. Immediately, he straightened his clothes and walked into the main hall.
Lu Dongzan entered the main hall. Because the main hall was deep and there were civil and military officials on both sides, with Li Shimin sitting at the top and Li Chengqian below, the whole scene was extremely shocking.
Lu Dongzan was used to big scenes.
Don't be afraid of such a scene.
After entering, he stood still, bowed and saluted and said: "Lu Dongzan, please see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Lu Dongzan, regarding the marriage with Tubo, I have given full authority to the prince. The previous government affairs of the court have been dealt with. Now, if you have anything, just report it directly to the prince."
Li Chengqian is sitting below.
And in front of all the officials.
Lu Dongzan saw Li Chengqian at a glance. Although Li Chengqian was young, in fact, the appearance of Li Chengqian's face gave people the impression that he was at least seventeen years old, not a child of twelve or thirteen years old.
Especially after Li Chengqian stayed with Wang Can for a period of time, his whole thinking has undergone earth-shaking changes, and his vision has also changed greatly. It is no longer what it used to be.
There may be many things that Li Chengqian has not yet understood, but he is not ignorant.
Lu Dongzan saluted and said: "Lu Dongzan, please see His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Prime Minister Lu came today for the sake of marriage. I think that marriage is unnecessary. And as far as I know, Songtsen Gampo, the Tubo Emperor, has a son."
"Since Songtsan Gampo admires the Tang Dynasty so much, let Songtsan Gampo's son come to the Tang Dynasty. He is young and can study in the Tang Dynasty. And after he arrives in the Tang Dynasty, he can also marry me.
woman."
"For a person who admires the Tang Dynasty, coming to the Tang Dynasty in person is true admiration and a true pilgrimage."
"This is an opportunity!"
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Opportunities must not be missed before they come again. Lu Dongzan, you can think about it."
Lu Dongzan's expression changed again and again.
He came to seek the Princess of Tang Dynasty.
Songtsen Gampo married a princess of the Tang Dynasty, so the Tang Dynasty would definitely give him countless dowries. At that time, Tubo could take advantage of this dowry to get many books from the Tang Dynasty.
In addition, the marriage of a princess of the Tang Dynasty to Songtsen Gampo would also help Songtsen Gampo gather his prestige, and even use the Tang Dynasty behind him to wipe out various tribes in Tubo.
This is something that will benefit Tubo without any harm.
It had no impact on Datang.
Because the Tang Dynasty was vast and rich in resources, it didn't care about a princess.
However, if we follow what Li Chengqian said, then Songtsen Gampo would have to send his only son to Chang'an. At that time, he would be controlled by others and controlled by Li Shimin everywhere. This is a stupid act.
It was equivalent to handing his neck into Li Shimin's hands and letting Li Shimin decide the future of Tubo.
After all, Songtsen Gampo only had one son.
So this is impossible.
Lu Dongzan's eyes rolled, he thought quickly, and then continued: "His Royal Highness, if you can learn the knowledge of the Tang Dynasty and see the magnificence and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, I, Tubo, are naturally willing. But the problem is
Yes, Zanpu has only one son. If Zanpu's son comes to Chang'an, it means that Zanpu has no heir. Therefore, this is definitely impossible. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Li Chengqian took advantage of the situation and said: "Lu Dongzan, you are refusing. Who said that Songtsen Gampo's son could no longer be the heir after he arrived in the Tang Dynasty. When he arrived in Chang'an, he was still the heir. Even when he arrived in Chang'an, he was still the heir.
You can also learn more knowledge and see a broader world. This is also very helpful for the cultivation of Tubo successors."
Lu Dongzan sneered in his heart.
nourish?
Don't guide people secretly and make them corrupt. That's fine. But if you cultivate them, that's impossible.
Lu Dongzan would not say these words, so he said: "Your Highness, Zanpu's son is young and weak, so it is impossible for him to come to Chang'an."
Li Chengqian continued: "Lu Dongzan, you are wrong again. Tubo is a poor place, and when people get sick, they can only pray to gods and Buddhas and seek help from ghosts and gods. But in the Tang Dynasty, we have countless doctors and medicine kings.
Sun Simiao can bring the dead back to life. Since Zanpu's son has weak bones, coming to the Tang Dynasty will help him strengthen his body. So for Zanpu, this is also an opportunity to prevent his son from dying."
At this moment, Li Chengqian responded extremely sharply.
Lu Dong’s praise is almost at a loss for words.
Li Shimin was sitting directly above him, with a faint smile on his face and a touch of pride. Although his son was young, Li Chengqian's adaptability was not inferior to that of an adult.
Such a Li Chengqian made all officials happy.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were successors.
Moreover, many officials in the court knew that Li Chengqian studied under Wang Can, and they all had some ideas in their hearts. If their sons could become Wang Can's disciples, that would be an opportunity.
After all, there was Changsun Chong first, and then Li Chengqian.
These are all examples.
Compared with the relief and joy of the officials, Lu Dongzan was a little overwhelmed at this moment. Because Li Chengqian held on to him, it was impossible for him to refuse politely.
In desperation, Lu Dongzan took a deep breath, shook his head and said: "Your Highness, the son of Tubo Zanpu is too young. The prince's body is not suitable for long distances, so he cannot come to Chang'an. However, I, Tubo Zanpu,
My intention to marry the Princess of the Tang Dynasty is extremely sincere, I sincerely admire the Tang Dynasty and want to marry the Tang Dynasty."
Li Chengqian laughed and said: "He admired the Tang Dynasty and simply merged Tubo into our Tang Dynasty. Songtsen Gampo also came to Chang'an, and our Tang Dynasty gave him glory and wealth."
brush!
Lu Dongzan's expression changed again and again.
Li Chengqian is completely cheating.
Totally disagree.
At this moment, the smile on Lu Dongzan's face gradually disappeared, his eyes became colder, and he said solemnly: "Your Highness, your rejection of my Tubo kindness is tantamount to hurting my friendship with Tubo Zamp. Zamp
He is an impatient person, and I am afraid that Zanpu will most likely send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty in his rage."
"Hahaha……"
Li Chengqian laughed when he heard this.
Laughter echoed in the hall.
This was an extremely outrageous move in the main hall, but Li Shimin didn't say anything. Li Shimin even showed no sign of speaking, as if he was a transparent person.
Lu Dongzan was in a very difficult situation at this moment. He looked at Li Chengqian and said seriously: "Why is His Highness the Crown Prince laughing? Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince thinks what I said is to scare people."
After Li Chengqian stopped laughing, he leaned forward slightly, but his eyes became sharp, and he said: "Lu Dongzan, I don't doubt Songtsan Gambo's intention to attack the border of Tang Dynasty. What's more, there is no marriage at the moment, Songtsan
Gampo is attacking the border, what should I be worried about? So Songtsan Gampo wants to attack the border, there is nothing worth noting. In addition, I want to tell you that Songtsen Gampo has repeatedly invaded the border. I, Datang
I won’t let it go.”
As soon as the words came out, there was an air of sex, and it was already a bit tit-for-tat.
Ludong praised: "Prince, the overall strength of Tubo is indeed not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty. But if Tubo conquers it, the border of the Tang Dynasty will definitely be devastated. Your Highness, is it really because of the marriage that the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty will be affected?"
Relations with Tubo. Then, will Zampu be angry and send troops? Although I will suffer losses in Tubo, the Tang Dynasty will also suffer huge losses."
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "We in the Tang Dynasty have never been afraid of war."
Cheng Yaojin took a step forward and said: "Your Highness, if we attack Tubo, I, Cheng Yaojin, am willing to be the vanguard."
Su Dingfang also stood up and said: "The last general is willing to be a pioneer."
Qin Qiong also said: "The last general is also willing to be the vanguard."
…
One by one, the generals stood up to ask for battle.
Everyone has a strong murderous aura.
These generals are not good at fighting. Each of them has experienced hundreds of battles and has killed countless people. As soon as they opened their mouths, they immediately put great pressure on Lu Dongzan, making Lu Dongzan frown deeply.
Li Chengqian listened to the words one by one, smiled slightly, waved his hands and said: "Masters, please sit down."
Then everyone took their seats again.
Li Chengqian turned to look at Lu Dongzan and said: "Lu Dongzan, have you seen it? Before I gave the order, all the generals are already preparing for a battle. Speaking of which, my father has conquered such a huge territory.
, and even destroyed the Turks. My father has made great achievements, and I, as his son, also want to make great achievements. So if Tibet wants to fight, I, the prince, will accompany him to the end."
brush!
Lu Dongzan's expression changed drastically.
At this moment, Lu Dongzan was really helpless.
He didn't issue it anymore.
Because Li Chengqian had full power to make the decision, and Li Chengqian was the main combatant. In this case, even if Lu Dongzan had a good tongue, there was no way to save it.
Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth, brushed his sleeves and said: "Your Highness, you will regret it. I, Tubo, cannot be easily humiliated. What you have done, and what the Tang Dynasty has done, have hurt me, Tubo. Zanpu will definitely send troops.
Came to kill."
Li Chengqian said disdainfully: "I, the prince, are waiting for Songtsan Gampo to come and kill him. If he dares to come, I, the prince, will make sure that he never comes back."
