Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 81 83 Finalized
"Oh! That's it! This title of 'Groundhog' really complements the ruler of your country. Since your country likes it, then you should use this title in your country's and your country's credentials from now on."

Nodding to Lu Dongzan, Li Shimin said with a flickering expression.

Although Songtsan Gampo wanted to proclaim himself emperor, he was very upset, but since he already had the title of "Groundhog" on his back, it was up to him.

Thinking that this was Li Shimin expressing his support for Songtsan Gampo's proclaiming emperor, Lu Dongzan was overjoyed.

"Your Majesty is holy! It is really a blessing for the Tang Dynasty to have such an enlightened ruler as Your Majesty! It is also a blessing for me, Tubo, to be a neighbor of Your Majesty and have a good relationship forever! Therefore, foreign minister Lu Dongzan would like to represent my lord I implore Your Majesty, marry Princess Xiangcheng to my lord! From then on, the two countries will form a marriage relationship, watch and help each other, and last forever!"

Seeing that the things that had already been decided had undergone new changes as Zuo Ming said, Li Shimin smiled coldly in his heart, but there was a strange look on his face, "The envoy is asking for a kiss again? Didn't we talk about letting our crown prince marry Princess Dawa of your country? Does your country want to regret the marriage?"

Although Li Shimin's words were plain, the last sentence was full of majesty.

Such things as repentance of marriage are already very cheap for ordinary people. If the royal family repents of marriage, it is definitely a precursor to war.

"Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty may have misunderstood something! Your Majesty's previous letter of credence was not signed by the ministers, and the marriage was not announced to the world, so it cannot be regarded as repentance!"

Lu Dongzan hurriedly said with a flickering expression.

"If you don't sign it, it's not considered a regretful marriage? Then you are taking my credentials as a joke? Or your country thinks that my prince of the Tang Dynasty is not worthy of your country's Princess Dawa?"

Li Shimin's voice finally turned cold.

As expected, Lu Dongzan was, as Zuo Ming said, a bit of a rascal.

"The foreign minister absolutely didn't mean that."

Seeing Li Shimin angry, Lu Dongzan said quickly.

But he had only half-spoken when he was stopped by Zuo Ming who had been watching the show.

"I can testify that the messenger of the groundhog really didn't mean that! Because when the minister and the messenger talked about the marriage alliance between the two countries, the messenger kept praising how wise and powerful my prince of the Tang Dynasty is. Their Princess Dawa To be able to marry the crown prince is really a blessing from the previous life!"

After Zuo Ming finished speaking, he gave Lu Dongzan a look of "I'm sure".

It was actually a bit rude for Zuo Ming to interrupt directly like this, but everyone present was a genius, so no one came out to accuse him.

Li Shimin's expression flashed even more, and then he asked Lu Dongzan, "Groundhog Messenger, Zuo Ming is serious?"

When Li Shimin asked, Lu Dongzan immediately froze.How do you ask him to answer this question?

If he admitted it, then the marriage between the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty and Dawa must be a certainty. If the answer was no, wouldn't that be a sideways admission that he really felt that the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty was not good enough for Princess Dawa?
"The foreign minister did say such a thing, but"

Lu Dongzan opened his mouth with some difficulty after his complexion changed several times.

However, his opening was cut off again, but this time, it was Li Shimin himself who cut off his words, "In this case, there is nothing to worry about! The princess of your country is about the same age as the prince of our country. It's the right match! This matter is settled like this!"

Li Shimin had already made a decision, Lu Dongzan naturally had no choice, but this old guy was really a master of playing tricks, seeing that Princess Dawa was definitely going to marry Datang, but he still didn't give up.

"Since Your Majesty also thinks that this marriage is indeed well-matched, the ministers will not say anything more! However, my lord has really admired Princess Xiangcheng for a long time, and it has reached the point where I don't think about eating and drinking. Please, Your Majesty can part with her." , marry Princess Xiangcheng to my lord! In this way, it will be regarded as double happiness!"

Seeing the old guy pestering him endlessly, Li Shimin frowned slightly, and then looked at Changsun Wuji beside him.

Seeing this situation, Changsun Wuji immediately stood up, "The envoy's proposal is not bad, but the prince's marriage is a major national event, and our country must do it with all our strength! According to my minister, the marriage of the princess of Xiangcheng must be left behind." Let's discuss it after the prince is married!"

To put it bluntly, Changsun Wuji's trick is a "drag".

"Wuji's words are justified! The prince's marriage is indeed a major event, and it should be handled specially! The matter of Princess Xiangcheng will be discussed later! The envoy came from afar, so why not stay in my Tang Dynasty for a few more days, so we can talk about it in detail Marriage matters!"

Nodding to Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin turned to Ludong again to praise him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

After saluting helplessly, Lu Dongzan stepped aside.

It's just that I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the old boy actually moved to the side of Zuo Ming.

Then there is a big banquet and a big row of singing and dancing.This is Zuo Ming's favorite part. He is notoriously unmannered, so he is naturally the one who eats the most.

The most important thing is that under his training, this group of imperial chefs has already established a posture of being better than blue, and the dishes they cook are really delicious to the extreme.

Not to mention Zuo Ming, the envoys present were also full of praise.

After eating, drinking, and playing, everyone left, but Zuo Ming stayed.He was still thinking about the old tree tree.

Zuo Ming didn't leave, so Li Tai naturally stayed behind.During this period of time, he understood that if he followed Zuo Ming, there must be meat to eat.

"Your Majesty! I just saw the old tree tree, and suddenly I had an idea and thought of a peerless delicacy! Do you want to taste it, Your Majesty and Your Majesty?"

After the envoys and ministers left, Zuo Ming salivated and said.

"Didn't you just eat it? Aren't you afraid of dying?" Li Shimin glanced at Zuo Ming, and said with a heart like a mirror, "You don't have to give me a sloppy eye, this old tree is going to be kept until the queen gives birth. It's for her to support her body, if you have any conscience, get out of the palace right away!"

"Your Majesty, are you really going to give birth to this child?"

When Li Shimin mentioned the matter of Empress Changsun giving birth, Zuo Ming suddenly smiled awkwardly, and then carefully asked Empress Changsun beside him.

Li Tai also looked at his mother with concern.

"You have never been parents, how do you understand the feelings of being a mother? From your point of view, killing a child is as simple as drinking saliva, but you don't know that this is scraping the flesh of my palace! You don't have to worry, with this Zhulaohe, presumably this time the production of this palace will not lose too much energy."

Touching her round belly, Empress Changsun said softly.

"What did Miracle Doctor Sun say?"

Seeing that Empress Changsun was so stubborn, Zuo Ming immediately thought of Sun Simiao, so he asked.

"Miraculous doctor Sun has given the empress some time, and after the diet you mentioned, the empress is much better now. Most importantly, he also said that there should be no major problems in the empress's delivery this time. Otherwise, I would not have promised the queen to keep this child."

It was Li Shimin who answered Zuo Ming. Obviously, he was also somewhat reluctant to part with that child.

"You are too lenient! You dare to worry about the affairs of the palace! If you are so careless, you might as well worry about your own wives when you go back. They are all married girls, and they have been showing their faces outside. Why? System?"

Fearing that Li Shimin would be persuaded by Zuo Ming again, Empress Changsun immediately sent Zuo Ming into the army.

Zuo Ming has been married for almost a year, but none of them is pregnant with a main wife, two concubines and a housekeeper, and he is still working hard on the affairs of the Anle Grand Theater and Dafeichuan. This is really unreasonable.

"My lady, you are wrong! The most important thing in life is to be happy! So what if you show your face? As long as they are happy! Those who like to chew their tongues are just jealous of them because their lives are not as good as theirs. , what is there to understand?"

Zuo Ming said indifferently.He can't change the atmosphere of the entire Tang Dynasty, but he must set the tone in his own family.

He didn't want his family to live under shackles like other Tang people.

"Hmph! You are open-minded. I'm afraid that the girl's heart will become wild at that time, and you won't be able to hold it back even if you want to!"

Li Shimin obviously disapproved of Zuo Ming's laissez-faire.No way, who made him the biggest feudal landlord in Datang.

"If you can't pull it back, you can't pull it back! They are not donkeys. By the way, Your Majesty, are those oak trees settled?"

Said indifferently, Zuo Ming changed the subject.

It is better to say less about this kind of human rights remarks, because more words will make more mistakes.

"Jiannan Road and Lingnan Road have the kind of trees you mentioned! I said you can't finish the Feitian project first and then get your bicycle?" Li Shimin was a little angry when he mentioned this matter.

What he is most concerned about now is the so-called "Flying Sky Project". He also wants to fly into the sky like Li Zhi to see the vast land.But the Ministry of Industry said that the hot air balloon was extremely unstable and could not be controlled at all, so he was not allowed to ride.So he hopes that Zuo Ming can perfect the hot air balloon as soon as possible.

"How many times have I told you that hot air balloons are not easy to use and are extremely affected by the wind. It is absolutely impossible to be foolproof! Otherwise, I would have already made it, and there is no need to wait for the pheasant slave to do it! Just wait patiently, when the bicycle comes out, Weichen will make your wish come true!"

Zuo Ming said angrily.

The hot air balloons in the previous life were considered perfect, but very few people actually used them, because the use value of that thing was too little, and there were many falling incidents for many years, so it was impossible to prevent it.

"Hmph! Anyway, you just saw that I don't understand what you said!"

Li Shimin said very unhappy.Zuo Ming always made him wait, but he really couldn't stand the feeling of being able to see but not eat.
