Chapter 615 Qinling
The Tubo Gar family is a noble in Tubo, and even an important minister in the country. It has two dynasties and four ministers. It has a very high prestige in Tubo, even comparable to the Zanpu family.

If Li Ke's memory is correct, Lu Dongzan's father, Mang Xiang Song Nang, is now the Prime Minister of Tubo. The powerful and proud Qiongpo Bangse has long been dissatisfied and wants to get rid of it. Qiongbo Bangse will die at the hands of Songtsan Gampo within a few years, and Lu Dongzan will be after Qiongbo Bangse's death. He has become a prime minister.

After Lu Dongzan became the prime minister, he got along with Songtsan Gampo and his ministers, externally harmonized with the Tang Dynasty, internally settled the plateau, swept away internal and external troubles, and ushered in the prosperity of Tubo. A military trainer is elegant and restrained. Tubo merged with the Qiangs and dominated the land, so there are many schemes."

After Lu Dongzan's death, Lu Dongzan's eldest son, Zan Xiruo, and his second son, Qinling, successively became prime ministers. Holding the military power on the Tubo border, setting an unprecedented precedent for the establishment of a country, successively defeated 30 Tang troops, invaded and occupied Tuyuhun, conquered Qinghai, and competed with the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions. The military troubles caused to the Tang Dynasty were far greater than those of his father Lu Dongzan.

Since Lu Dongzan claimed to be the eldest son and it was inconvenient for him to be sent to the Tang Dynasty, it would be a good choice to keep his son Qinling.

Li Ke praised Lu Dong: "Your envoy's words are very true, but this palace is abrupt. But the marriage between the two countries is a major event, and it should not be hasty. It is necessary to have a candidate for a marriage envoy. What does your envoy think?"

As long as Lu Dongzan is not allowed to stay in Chang'an, everything will be fine. When Lu Dongzan heard the words, he hurriedly responded: "It's natural. After the banquet, the foreign ministers will write a letter to Zanpu. When you mention this matter, please Zanpu appoint another virtuous person to serve you." Marriage envoy."

The marriage envoy is actually a good thing for Tubo. After all, the marriage envoy can stay in Chang'an in a legitimate way. It can be Tubo's eyes and ears in Chang'an, and Lu Dongzan is naturally happy to see it.

Li Ke said that he was lying about Lu Dongzan's words. With Lu Dongzan's words, Li Ke was relieved. Li Ke said: "This envoy will stay in the East Palace in the future. The other people in the Tubo Kingdom are in this palace." If you don't like it, I just have a crush on your Gar family, I wonder if your envoy will obey?"

Lu Dongzan didn't expect that Li Ke would not let him go, so he felt a "thump" in his heart, and asked rather uneasily, "I wonder who is in the Gar family that Your Highness has taken a liking to?"

Li Ke said with a smile: "I heard from the people in the Tubo mission that your envoy's family education is appropriate, and the young masters in the family are all talented. Your eldest son Zan Zhi said that if he wants to inherit the family business, it is naturally inconvenient to come to Tang Dynasty, so he will do so." Appoint your envoy's second son, Qinling."

Listening to Li Ke's words, Lu Dongzan couldn't help cursing in his heart, who in the Tubo mission was gossiping and mentioned the matter of Lu Dongzan's sons.

Ludong Zanji has five sons. Although the eldest son Zan Xiruo is the eldest son, he is only a middle-class person and ordinary. On the contrary, the second son Qinling is young, intelligent, and has a decisive temperament. He is the most similar to him. The one with the highest expectations is privately regarded as the future successor, but who would have thought that Li Ke would ask for Qinling.

Lu Dongzan regards Qinling very highly, and he will inherit the family business in the future. In his opinion, he would rather let his eldest son Zan Xiruo come to Tang than his second son Qinling. His own words blocked his mouth, and it was inconvenient for him to talk back at this time.

The eldest son needs to inherit the family business and stay in Tubo. This is what Lu Dongzan himself said, and he can't change his words, otherwise he will annoy the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and he may not even be able to go back.

What Li Ke said was a bit aggressive. Lu Dongzan was obviously in trouble, and didn't reply for a while, and Li Shimin, who was sitting on the top, seemed to have seen Li Ke's abnormal behavior.

Li Ke has always led people with kindness, and everyone in the court praises them. It is rare to force others like this. But who is Li Ke? Li Ke is the prince of the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin's beloved son. I don't even know the real purpose of Li Ke asking Lu Dongzan's second son Qinling to come here, but Li Shimin also has his own understanding.

Li Ke is a smart person, and he will never act aimlessly. Such actions are naturally for Datang's consideration.Tubo officials have the habit of passing from father to son. Qinling is the son of Lu Dongzan, and Lu Dongzan is likely to be the future Prime Minister of Tubo. After Zan became prime minister, he could use Qin Ling's hand to slightly restrict Lu Dongzan.

Datang and Tubo were enemies sooner or later, so for the sake of the future, Lunqin Mausoleum really had to be kept here.

At this time, Li Shimin spoke to Lu Dong and praised: "What? Did the prince's words embarrass your envoy?"

Previously, Li Ke had retained Lu Dongzan as a marriage envoy, but Lu Dongzan refused on the grounds that the eldest son needed to stay in Tubo, and then Li Ke wanted to keep his second son Qinling as a marriage envoy, but Lu Dongzan began to hesitate again. .Listening to Li Shimin's tone, Lu Dongzan was obviously a little displeased.

Lu Dongzan first planned to say that Qinling was only ten years old, and he was still young, so it was inconvenient to travel far, but after thinking about it, it might be possible to say this in front of others, but it couldn't be done in front of Li Ke.

Because the prince in front of him went north as a hostage at the age of eight and went to Turkic. No matter how delicate his son Lu Dongzan is, is he more expensive than Li Ke?

Lu Dongzan thought for a while, and had to explain: "The foreign minister is definitely unwilling, but the second son of the foreign minister is only ten years old, and he is afraid that he will not act safely when he is young, and he may offend the crown prince."

Li Ke waved his hand when he heard the words, and said magnanimously: "Your emissary's words are completely overwhelmed. The so-called success or failure is not judged by age. Although the son is young, but he has a father like this, it must not be bad. What's more I'm not a mean person either, as a young man, I will take care of Qin Ling when he comes to Chang'an, so you don't have to worry about it."

Li Ke's words have reached this point, Lu Dongzan's heart is full of unwillingness, and he has nothing to say, nothing to dare to say.

The peace between the two countries is for the sake of peace on the border. Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo is willing to marry his sister to Chang'an, let alone the second son of Lu Dongzan. Princess.

If Lu Dongzan said more now, then he would be difficult to do in the Tang Dynasty, and Songtsan Gampo would not let him off when he returned to Tubo in the future.

Lu Dongzan had no choice but to reply: "Since that's the case, as long as the crown prince doesn't dislike it, the ministers will obey."

After Lu Dongzan finished speaking, he returned to his seat. At this time, Lu Dongzan frowned slightly, and his mood was gloomy. My Aiko was also picked up.

There is only one thought in Lu Dongzan's mind now, that is to finish his marriage as soon as possible so that he can go back to Tubo. With Li Ke in Chang'an, no one knows what bad thoughts Li Ke is holding back. He didn't want to stay in Chang'an City for a day.
