bastard seizes tang

Chapter 609
When Li Ke pierced the mask of the Tubo people in front of Lu Dongzan, the so-called marriage has become a conspiracy in front of Li Shimin, and it was Li Ke who beat Tubo naked in front of Lu Dongzan. s face.

If it were left in the past, maybe Li Shimin would be furious and coax Lu Dongzan out, but now Datang and Tubo have made peace after all, and no matter what Tubo and Songtsan Gampo are thinking, Tubo's face is Come to pay tribute respectfully, Li Shimin can't be too ugly.

Li Shimin did not directly veto the marriage proposal, but said to put it on hold for now, but what Li Shimin said was not pleasant, I am afraid that Lu Dongzan would not dare to mention the marriage proposal again.

Before entering the hall, Lu Dongzan had prepared all kinds of speeches, but after seeing Li Shimin, it took less than a cup of tea, and he left the hall without saying a few words, which was completely useless.

Lu Dong praised the empress, followed the servants in the palace, and walked on the dragon road out of the palace, feeling lost in his heart, although today's result was not created by him alone, but in any case, as an envoy, he shouldered most of the tasks Failed, if there is no accident, the princess Tubo of the Tang Dynasty will not be able to marry.

Lu Dongzan was born in a noble family in Tubo, and his father was the Prime Minister of Tubo, with a high position and authority. In addition, he himself is extremely intelligent, capable of both civil and military skills. He has been doing things very smoothly since he was a child, and rarely encountered any setbacks. But this time he was completely stumped.

He met an opponent who knew him well, but he didn't understand him very well, and this opponent was Li Ke, the prince of Datang.

Li Ke somehow knew Songtsan Gampo, Lu Dongzan, and even many top secrets in the court, but Lu Dongzan's understanding of Li Ke was always superficial and half-knowledgeable.

Li Kenian is only in his twenties, ten years younger than Lu Dongzan, but he acts like a powerful and unconstrained style, and Lu Dongzan can't see through him all the time, which makes Lu Dongzan feel a lot of powerlessness.

Lu Dongzan lowered his head, still thinking about how to explain this matter to Songtsan Gampo when he returned to China in the future. At this moment, there was a burst of brisk footsteps behind him, followed by Li Ke's voice.

"Dong Zan stays, Dong Zan stays." Li Ke walked up quickly and praised Lu Dong.

Lu Dongzan couldn't help being surprised when he heard Li Ke's voice behind him. He didn't expect Li Ke to catch up from the hall.

Lu Dongzan said: "The foreign minister Lu Dongzan pays homage to the prince."

Although Li Ke just ruined Lu Dongzan's affairs, Li Ke is the prince of the Tang Dynasty after all, the future monarch. As long as Tubo has not determined to fight the Tang Dynasty, Lu Dongzan will not dare to disrespect Li Ke.

"Dongzan is welcome, get up quickly." Li Ke helped Lu Dongzan up with his own hands, and said with a smile.

After Lu Dongzan got up, Li Ke said to the servant who sent Lu Dongzan out of the palace: "You go back first, I personally send the Tubo envoys out of the palace."

"No." The servant got the order, responded, and turned back.

After the servant left, Li Ke praised Lu Dong: "I hope Dong Zan will not be offended by the matter of the Great Hall just now."

The marriage was a matter that Zanpu Songtsan Gambo repeatedly entrusted to Lu Dongzan. Marriage with the Tang Dynasty was of great significance to Tubo's dominance of the plateau, but Li Ke was asked to reveal his faults in front of Li Shimin, which ruined a good thing However, how could Lu Dongzan not be surprised because of Li Ke's words.

Lu Dongzan smiled wryly and said: "What Your Highness has done has really posed a huge problem for the foreign ministers. How should the foreign ministers explain to Zanpu when they return home?"

Lu Dongzan was an envoy, and the envoys went on missions and humiliated the king's orders. Even if Lu Dongzan was Songtsan Gampo's confidant, he would inevitably be punished after returning home. What Lu Dongzan said was true, but Li Ke listened to Lu Dongzan. However, the interest came.

Li Ke said: "If Dongzan is worried that he won't be able to explain himself when he returns to China, then he doesn't have to go back to China. Wouldn't it be best to stay in my Tang Dynasty?"

Li Kezhi's words caught his ears, but Lu Dongzan was stunned. Yesterday Li Ke wooed Lu Dongzan once in the East Palace, but at that time Lu Dongzan only thought it was Li Ke's perfunctory words, but he didn't expect that Li Ke It was brought up again today.

Maybe the first time was perfunctory, but Li Ke mentioned this second time. Lu Dongzan looked into Li Ke's eyes and saw seriousness from Li Ke's eyes.

Lu Dongzan asked puzzledly: "Just now in the main hall, His Highness was in a difficult situation with foreign ministers, why is he so polite at this time?"

Li Ke said with a smile: "Because you were an envoy of Tubo when you were in the hall, and I was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but now, only Lu Dongzan is standing in front of my palace."

Listening to Li Ke's words, Lu Dongzan seemed to understand Li Ke's meaning, and also seemed to understand why Li Ke was able to replace Li Chengqian as a concubine and become the prince of the Tang Dynasty.It is really rare for such a person to be able to separate public and private affairs, but also to do things by nature.

Lu Dongzan asked: "The crown prince has countless capable ministers, and the foreign ministers are just from other countries. Why does the prince value the foreign ministers?"

Li Ke replied: "You are both wise and brave, with both civil and military skills, and I am a great Tang Dynasty virtuous man. My palace has always been thirsty for talents. If Dong Zan can come to the East Palace to serve, it will be a great pleasure for my palace. "

Seeing this, Lu Dongzan bowed and said, "If so, I'm afraid the foreign minister will disappoint the prince. The foreign minister's wife, children and family are all in Tubo. Please forgive the inconvenience for the foreign minister."

Li Ke waved his hands and said, "It's okay if you only care about your family. If Dongzan is reluctant to part with Tubo's wife and children, just stay in Chang'an. I will send someone to Tubo to explain the matter to Songtsen Gampo. Bringing Dongzan's family to Chang'an, of course, if Dongzan is willing, I will personally arrange a marriage for you, marrying the daughter of my Great Tang clan, wouldn't it be great?"

It is not easy to marry the daughters of the Tang clan, especially foreigners. Don’t you see, none of the princesses married by the Tang Dynasty are the real daughters of Li Yuan or Li Shimin. They are all chosen from the clan girls and then named princesses In other words, even if Li Shimin is willing to make peace with Tubo, the most Songtsen Gampo can marry is a clan girl.

In order to win over Lu Dongzan, Li Ke even opened his mouth and promised to marry Lu Dongzan as a family daughter. Li Ke refused to marry Songtsan Gambo, but was willing to say Yu Ludongzan, which can be said to be great sincerity. It shows that Li Ke attaches great importance to Lu Dongzan.

Although he was an opponent, Lu Dongzan was inexplicably moved when he heard Li Ke's words. It had nothing to do with the country, the monarch and his ministers, but purely because of Li Ke's appreciation of Lu Dongzan.

But moving is only moving after all, and Lu Dongzan will not change his worship for this reason. Lu Dongzan hastily said: "The prince is kind and Lu Dongzan is grateful, but Lu Dongzan is loyal to Tubo and Zanpu. I have let down the prince's love, and I hope the prince will not blame you."

Li Ke seemed rather disappointed after hearing Lu Dongzan's words, and sighed, "If that's the case, it's really a pity."

As Li Ke said, he seemed to think of something again, patted Lu Dongzan on the shoulder, and said to Lu Dongzan: "It is true that this palace is abrupt, but you need to remember that the gate of my East Palace will always be open to you. Open it, as long as you are willing to come, I will sweep the couch to welcome you at any time."

In fact, for Lu Dongzan, Li Ke never thought that he could win him over with just a few words, but Li Ke knew very well the value of the Lu Dongzan clan to Tubo. Without Lu Dongzan, Songtsan Gampo and Tubo would never be It's as simple as breaking an arm.

Li Ke knew that he couldn't do it, but he wanted to plant a seed in Lu Dongzan's heart, and as long as the method was right, this seed would become the key to separating Tubo in the future.
