Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 143
The development momentum of Tubo is too strong, and Li Ke has always wanted to find trouble for it and hinder its development momentum.

The purpose of contacting the Shang Shung Kingdom and Ni Boluo was to find several hostile forces for Tubo and attack Tubo from the outside.

But within Tubo, Li Ke didn't want to let it go.

He has already arranged a detailed operation to go deep into Tubo and inquire about the news of the Tubo court.

According to detailed reports, Songtsan Gampo is currently in power, and all rebel forces have been wiped out by him.

This Songtsan Gampo has some means. He managed the country to flourish and develop gradually.

But Songtsan Gampo did not rely on only one person to govern the court, he also had several confidants and important officials.

When he came to power, he relied on the help of his uncle Lun Keri and Tubo Prime Minister Shang Nang.

In the future governance process, the two have been playing an important role.

Li Ke knew in his heart that it would be very difficult to shake Songtsen Gampo directly.

If you want to tamper with Tubo's internal affairs, the best way is to start with these two important Tubo officials.

However, it would be too difficult to buy directly, and once exposed, it would easily cause disputes between the two countries.

At present, there is still peace between the two countries, and he does not want to expose his hostility too early.

Therefore, Li Ke wanted to stir up the domestic power disputes in Tubo through trade, and let them bite dogs themselves.

According to the detailed information, the internal affairs of Tubo are in charge of the Prime Minister Shang Nang.

The domestic military power is in the hands of Tubo Dalun Keri. Although this person has certain political power, he is much worse than Shangnang.The reason why he was able to gain power in the court was because of his soldiers.

If persimmons are soft, Li Ke naturally chooses someone who is easy to fool to do business with.

Now we know from the letters of the second prince Nibala that the wool trade in Tubo is controlled by Prime Minister Shang Nang.

From this, Li Ke thought of the reason for contacting this Lun Keri.

He was going to talk to this Lun Keri about the wool business.

……

Luo some cities, the capital of Tubo.

On the eastern outskirts of Luoxi City, there is a huge garden with a magnificent palace. This palace is not the royal garden of Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo, but the private manor of Tubo Dalun Keri. .

Ever since Songtsan Gampo was supported to take over the throne, discussing Keri, the uncle of Zanpu, has become a big talk in Tubo.

The so-called "Lun" means royal family, and Lun Keri is naturally the most powerful prince in Tubo.

It is reasonable for such a Tubo dignitary to enjoy such a huge garden.

As for Keri's favorite drink in his life, he will hold a grand banquet in this garden every now and then, inviting people to have a feast with him.

Yesterday was another night of drinking, Lun Keri slept until noon and didn't wake up. He just got up and ate something, when a servant came to pass on the message: "A guest came and said he was from Datang, and he wanted to have a treat with Da Lun. trade."

Lun Keri was very surprised. He was a warrior who led troops in battle. Why would he come to him to discuss business?
He waved his hand: "See you! Let him find someone else!"

The servant did not leave, but instead presented a knitted vest with both hands: "The man said, if Da Lun doesn't see him, let the villain dedicate this dress to Da Lun. He said, what he wants to talk about is this dress. business."

Lun Keri chuckled, and he said, would he be interested in such a rag?

This Tang man is really ridiculous.

He casually took the clothes and looked at them, the vest was woven with thick threads, it didn't look tightly woven, and with a little tugging, countless small gaps could be opened.

"What kind of ragged clothes is this? It's so loosely woven, how can it keep warm?"

Tibet is located on a high plateau, and the climate is relatively cold. No one would want to wear clothes that don't look very warm.

Lun Keri planned to throw the clothes back and send the Tang man away.

But before he threw it out, he unexpectedly noticed some difference in the texture of the clothes.

The clothes are smooth and moisturizing, and feel very comfortable.

"Huh? Is this... wool?"

The plateau is rich in wool, Lun Keri is naturally familiar with wool, and he became interested when he saw this wool.

Novelty and eccentric gadgets can always catch the attention of these powerful and powerful people.

"Someone turns wool into thick thread and weaves it into a vest..."

Lun Keri thought for a while, then took off his clothes: "Come on, try changing on for Ben Dalun..."

He put the woolen vest on himself, put on his coat, and then put on his own coat.

"Hmm! It's very comfortable to wear..."

Lun Keri nodded with satisfaction.

But it didn't take long for him to feel something was wrong.

"Why is it so hot today?"

Not long after putting it on, he felt a little hot all over his body, and when he touched his forehead with his hand, he actually sweated a little.

When the servant heard what he said, he tightened his clothes: "No, it's a big talk. It's very cold today!"

Lun Keri was very surprised. He didn't feel hot before, but he started to feel hot after wearing the woolen vest.

"Could it be that this wool vest that looks fluffy and airy still has such a warming effect?"

Curious, he took off the vest again.

After taking it off, my body became cold after a while.

"Huh? It really is the effect of this vest!"

Lun Keri was very curious. He touched the vest that was still warm and said to the servant: "Go! Invite the Tang man in!"

The one who came in was a middle-aged man with a beard and a round-neck gown. His attire all showed his identity as a Tang Dynasty man.

"My eldest grandson You, I have seen a big talk!"

The Tang man walked up to Lun Keri and bowed in salute.

Lun Keri looked at the eldest grandson You, chuckled lightly and said, "You said you want to do business with Ben Da Lun, what kind of business are you doing?"

Changsun You pointed to the vest in his hand: "This is the clothes, the clothes are made of wool, called woolen sweaters!"

"Sweater?"

Lun Keri stroked the vest again: "You want to sell this clothes to me?"

"No!"

Changsun You shook his head: "This dress is for Da Lun. I will not only give you one piece, but also two full loads of woolen sweaters, all for you!"

"Oh?"

Changsun You turned back to the servant and said, "There are still two loads of goods outside the house, please go and check them, if there is no problem, send them in!"

The servant glanced at Lun Keri and ran out immediately when he nodded.

Not long after, several servants came in again, carrying two full loads of goods, and the loads were filled with all kinds of woolen sweaters.

"These... are all for Da Lun!"

Changsun You pointed to the two goods and said.

Lun Keri looked at the two cargo loads, then chuckled lightly: "Don't tell me you want to use these things to do business with Ben Dalun?"
