I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 563 Songtsan Gampo Proposes?The victory report is to cut Tuyuhun to level [-]!

"Hahaha, Xu Aiqing must be very happy with what you said!"

Li Shimin smiled and waved his hands,
"Come here, give me a seat, let's have a cup of tea."

"Let's sit down and talk."

For those who have a crush on him, Li Er has never put on airs very much.

Although it was the first time to meet Lu Dongzan today, he did have a good impression of this Tubo envoy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Dongzan cupped his hands and sat down in response.

The maid brought the tea, he took a sip and put it aside.

"Your Majesty, I'm not very good at talking, please allow me to get straight to the point."

Lu Dong admired Li Shimin and said,

"Before going to the Tang Dynasty, Zanpu gave thousands of instructions, asking the minister to convey his admiration and admiration to you."

"At the same time, he also has an unfeeling request, and I hope His Majesty will agree."

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

"You tell me."

Li Erdan smiled and said,
"There are too many people requesting me, and I don't respond to every request, so I'm not a living god?"

"Besides, Tubo is also a great country with great potential. Songtsan Gampo doesn't have to be so humble."

"The exchanges between the two countries are nothing more than... helping each other!"

help each other.

The subtext is... don't try to get it for nothing!

Maybe it was influenced by Xu Fenglei, now Li Er is more caressing than before, and he won't give others benefits for nothing just because of a few compliments from others.

Besides, he knew in advance——

Songtsan Gampo wanted to marry the princess!
"Uh... yes, yes."

Lu Dongzan was slightly taken aback, but he nodded quickly and said earnestly,
"Zanpu wants...to marry a Tang princess as his queen."

Li Shimin frowned.

"Ask to marry the princess? Why, he wants to marry me and be my son-in-law?"

Li Er smiled and said,
"Has he never had a wife?"

Lu Dongzan couldn't help being a little embarrassed when he heard this.

"There must be... concubines. Zanpu is the king of Tubo after all."

He continued,
"But there is almost no queen. In Tubo, there are dignified women, but Zanpu yearns for the princess of the Tang Dynasty, so he naturally looks down on those ordinary women in the country."

"If he can get a Tang princess, Zanpu will be so happy that he can't sleep for three days and three nights! And he will definitely build a palace for this respected princess!"

Li Shimin gently stroked his beard.

"You Zanpu, you are also a person with high vision."

Li Erdan smiled and said,
"Is this not a princess not to marry?"

"Then it doesn't necessarily have to be a princess of the Tang Dynasty! There are princesses in other countries, isn't it enough to marry one?"

Still pulling!

Obviously, Li Shimin didn't want to agree, at least he didn't want to agree readily.

"Princesses from other countries, how can they compare with the princesses of Tang Dynasty? They are not even worthy of carrying shoes!"

Lu Dong praised his sternness and said,

"Zanpu has a saying, if you marry princesses from two countries at the same time, the princesses from other countries can only be servant girls on Princess Datang's side!"

"His words may be a bit extreme...but Tubo is such a country, where the strong are respected! Zanpu is also such a man, and he respects the daughter of the strong even more!"

After all, he took a cautious look at Li Shimin.

Because these words... were a bit too explicit, he was afraid that His Majesty Tian Khan would be displeased.

But fortunately, Li Shimin looked as usual, but with some smiles.

"Is it so straightforward? However, I also like straightforward people, who go straight to the point and don't need to spend too much effort."

he said,

"After listening to your words, I can feel Songtsan Gampo's sincerity, but... I am also a little troubled."

"Because you, Tubo, are not the only ones who come to propose marriage. Your neighboring country Tuyuhun also came to propose marriage, and also wants to marry a princess."

"This puts me in a difficult situation. I don't have so many daughters! If the monarchs of every country come to propose marriage, then I might have to owe them a few princesses! Don't you think so?"

When Lu Dongzan heard these words, he couldn't help but straighten his expression.

"Your Majesty, you are right. You don't have so many daughters, so you must be careful when choosing a son-in-law!"

He said seriously,

"You have to choose those who are excellent and sincere!"

"Some crooked melons, if you marry the princess to them, it will really ruin the princess! Don't get me wrong, what I'm referring to is the prince Murong Zun who is Tuyuhun!"

"I have heard about this person before, and he is nothing but an idiot. He and his father, Murong Fuyun, are just two idiots!"

"Such a country, such a prince, is not worthy of your marriage gift at all!"

A few words, extremely aggressive!
Lu Dongzan didn't shy away from it at all, and directly sprayed Tuyuhun Murong and his son.

So... Neighboring countries are enemies!
"Lu Dongzan is right, Tuyuhun Murong and his son are indeed nothing!"

Xu Fenglei answered,

"Speaking of which, they are also extremely disrespectful!"

"On the surface, he bowed his head to my Great Tang, but secretly he was dishonest! He even sent cavalry to plunder our Great Tang Liangzhou!"

"It's an animal behavior! Your Majesty asked Murong Fuyun to come to the Tang Dynasty to apologize, but he couldn't come because of his illness! His Majesty was merciful and asked his son to come, but his son even made excuses!"

"Isn't this playing tricks on us? That's all, and you want to marry the princess!"

"There are no doors!"

Lu Dongzan remained silent.

That day, he heard Murong Lin say something, but he didn't listen too carefully. Now that he heard what Xu Fenglei said, he already understood it.

No wonder that Murong Lin was so worried... The death of his own monarch and the crown prince angered Datang. Can he, an envoy, stay in Datang safely? !

"Indeed."

Lu Dongzan nodded in agreement,

"This is too disrespectful to Datang, and too disrespectful to His Majesty Tian Khan!"

"It's also thanks to His Majesty Tian Khan's kindness. If we had followed Zanpu's temperament, we would have sent troops to fight there!"

Xu Fenglei smiled.

"Then you read it wrong. Our Majesty has never been a benevolent person... Even if it is kind, it is also for our own people and allies."

he said,

"He is very ruthless when dealing with enemies!"

"The reason why Tian Khan can become Tian Khan is not as simple as being so simple..."

Lu Dongzan was shocked.

The meaning of this sentence...

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house.

However, a guard walked into the imperial study room holding an urgent delivery, and saluted Li Shimin:

"Your Majesty, good news!"

"Li Daoyan, governor of Liangzhou, just presented it!"

Li Shimin looked a little surprised.

"Oh? Good news so soon?"

He waved,

"Bring me to see!"

The imperial guard handed over the urgent delivery in his hand, and retreated respectfully.

wow.

Li Shimin opened the newsletter and took a look. After only a few glances, a smile appeared on his face.

"Haha... wonderful, wonderful!"

He patted his thigh and said,
"This Li Daoyan has some strength! Before, I thought he was only capable of defending generals, but not capable of attacking! Now that I think about it, I was wrong!"

"Listen, come, take a look!"

"Good news!"

Li Shimin got up and handed the good news to Xu Fenglei.

Lu Dongzan, who was passed over, was a little confused...

Good news?

What good news?
Who did Tang Jun fight with? !

"Hey, chase hundreds of miles, behead seven hundred levels! Good!"

Xu Fenglei glanced at the contents of the news, and applauded,
"This can be regarded as a small test! The Tuyuhun army, in my estimation, is about the same strength as the Turkic second-rate tribal army, not as good as the elite main force of the headquarters."

"My elite of the Tang Dynasty used one as three, and beat Tuyuhun's homeless dog. It can be said to be arbitrary!"

"After this battle, let's see if that Tuyuhun dares to invade the border again! If he dares to come again, we can go out and destroy his country!"

Lu Dong praised: "!!!"

Good guy!Is it really okay to say things like destroying the country so casually?

And still in front of him? !

For some reason, Lu Dongzan felt a little stressed, and the expression on his face was a little unnatural.

"Oh—I forgot about you, Messenger Lu."

Xu Fenglei raised the good news in Yang's hand and said with a smile,

"This Tuyuhun skin is itchy, I, Datang, naturally want to beat and beat!"

"I violated my border many times, and still want to propose marriage! What a toad wants to eat swan meat! This battle killed nearly a thousand of them, let's see how Tuyuhun reacts!"

"If you are still obsessed with obsession, then the Tang Dynasty can only send troops to fight against the ministers! At that time, maybe you will be asked for help from Tubo... After this is done, our two countries will be neighbors!"

Lu Dongzan: "..."

Who would want to be a neighbor with a behemoth like Datang!
Destroy the country at every turn!Which monarch is not afraid!
"Yes Yes……"

Lu Dongzan forced a smile, and replied,

"Tuyuhun is so surly, he should be taught a lesson."

"I can guarantee that I, Tubo, will never disrespect Datang like this! I will definitely be extremely respectful!"

"Your Majesty, Zanpu is sincerely seeking to marry Princess Datang, definitely not someone as dishonest as Tuyuhun! He is willing to marry Princess Datang with [-] head of cattle and sheep as a betrothal gift!"

"Besides, if you have any conditions, just say so! As long as he can do it, he will definitely agree!"

He also knew.

There is something in the words of the two monarchs and ministers - want to ask to marry the princess, such as Tuyuhun is a negative teaching material!
Don't say the princess doesn't have one, she has to be beaten severely!
Therefore, he also knew... if he didn't make some promises, it was absolutely impossible for Tian Khan to let go.

"Hehe... You are really the one who eats the king's salary to share the worries of the king, and you can't leave the three words of courtship."

Li Shimin chuckled, glanced at Xu Fenglei, and said,
"Actually, I don't really care about the amount of the dowry. I still value sincerity."

"Listen, what kind of sincerity do you think is enough? I want to hear your opinion."

Lu Dongzan was taken aback.

The emperor married his daughter, but he still listened to the minister's opinion?

This Grand Master Xu Gong... is so close to His Majesty Tian Khan?
"Dong Zan, you don't know something. I heard that he is the prince's grand teacher. He is not only the master of the prince, but also the master of all the princes and princesses in the palace."

Li Shimin laughed,
"The so-called heaven, earth, monarch, relatives and teachers, our Tang Dynasty is very particular about this."

"You can regard him as the half-father of the princesses. If he doesn't agree, then even if I agree, the marriage won't happen."

These words elevated Xu Fenglei.

The main reason is that Li Shimin doesn't know how to respond at this moment, it seems that if he says a word, he will agree to the marriage.

So, simply move Xu Fenglei out and ask him to negotiate with Lu Dongzan to see if he has any ideas that can maximize Datang's interests.

"Ah...that's what it is."

Lu Dongzan was startled, and looked at Xu Fenglei with even more respect.

He cupped his hands again and said:

"I really don't know Taishan... I'm rude, I'm rude."

Xu Fenglei waved his hand.

"How can I be so important? It is His Majesty who is serious."

He responded with a smile,

"However, I do have an idea."

"You said that Songtsan Gampo sincerely proposed to marry Princess Datang, right?"

"Yes, yes..." Lu Dongzan said firmly, "With great sincerity, he is willing to do anything! Even if it's going up the mountain of swords or down into the sea of ​​fire, it's fine!"

Xu Fenglei laughed.

"No, no, that's too exaggerated."

he said,

"It's actually quite simple to express sincerity."

"When we marry a wife here in the Tang Dynasty, they are all hired by the man's family with three matchmakers. The man comes to marry himself. This is the most basic."

"So, I hope that you, Songtsan Gampo, will come to Tang Dynasty in person, come to Chang'an to welcome the bride, and welcome the princess back."

"So, okay?"

Lu Dongzan's expression froze.

"This……"

Why is he,

"Zanpu is busy with state affairs. If he wants to travel thousands of miles to Tang Dynasty, many state affairs will be delayed."

"Besides, this road is not very safe, this..."

How could it be possible for Songtsan Gampo to come to Chang'an to marry the princess himself?

A country cannot live without a king!

When Xu Fenglei heard this, his expression changed.

"Oh? This can't be done?"

He said displeased,

"Then what do you mean, when you come to propose marriage, we have to dress up the princess beautifully and send it all the way to Tubo for you?"

"Hehe, is that your Tubo courtship, or is it our Tang Dynasty's tribute, offering you a princess?"

"If this is recorded in the history books, later generations will think that our Tang Dynasty is afraid of you Tubo, so we take the initiative to make peace with you!"

"Messenger Lu, I am a straightforward person. Don't be surprised - I am very sensitive to the word "marriage". Back then, when the great Han founded the country and the country was weak, I made marriage. It’s a shame to be wiped out! This marriage is a disgrace! It wasn’t done by a real man!”

"When you are weak, you have to get married. When you are strong, you still have to get married. What is the plan? Isn't the country strong for nothing?"

"So, if you, Songtsan Gampo, don't come to Datang to get married in person, then you have no sincerity! You are no different from that Tuyuhun King Murong Zun! Forgive me and Your Majesty for not agreeing!"

He will never allow the historical incident of 'Princess Wencheng's entry into Tibet' to happen again!

Even though the marriage was only allowed after winning against Tubo at that time, it was not too bad in terms of face.

But Shangchuangzi gave someone a princess... Xu Fenglei felt that it was very appropriate!

Anyway, in the end, everyone is going to turn their backs and go to war, so why make a temporary marriage, and even send tools and technology to others, fatten Tubo, and finally become a serious problem for their own confidantes!
