Datang Fenghua Road

Lu Dongzan flicked his robe sleeves and said proudly: "This time to see Li Shimin, everyone should focus on me, Tubo. No matter what Li Shimin does, the Prime Minister will choose first. Blame Tubo for not recognizing friends."

The situation is stronger than people, and everyone has to bow their heads.Among the envoys, the elder Tuyuhun sighed and signaled with his hands: "What the Prime Minister said is very true, we will naturally obey. When we meet the Emperor of Tang this time, I also ask the Prime Minister to go ahead."

Lu Dongzan nodded, and with a flick of his robe sleeves, he took the lead.

The envoys in the back looked at each other and followed each other out of the embassy.

This group of people set up carriages in Changzhao, and a group of knights and other carriages drove to the palace. At this time, the gate of the palace was already open, and a team of Jinwu guards released it after inspection.

The envoys got off the car and entered the palace, and they couldn’t help but watch the palace buildings along the way. Suddenly, an envoy from a small country in the Western Regions sighed with admiration on his face: “It’s such a majestic place, when will we be able to live here.”

Lu Dongzan looked back at him and said with a smile: "Want to live in the Tang Palace? Your country doesn't seem to be worthy. Only I, Tubo, can compete with the Tang Dynasty, but I dare not say this. Remember, we are ministers. "The emperor is the emperor, and only the emperor who said this is worthy, and only the king of the powerful country in the world is worthy."

The implication is very clear, Tubo is a powerful country in the world, Songtsan Gampo has this qualification, but Lu Dongzan is not qualified as a prime minister, because his identity is a courtier, even if he is the most powerful official in Tubo, he still does not have this qualification. .

At this time, everyone had arrived at the gate of the palace, and Jin Wuwei, who was on duty outside the hall, reported loudly. After a while, Li Shimin gave an order, signaling Jin Wuwei to release the ministers into the hall.

Lu Dongzan flicked his robe sleeves and entered first with his head held high.The envoys followed closely, but they politely let the elder Tuyuhun walk in the second place.

After everyone entered the hall, their faces were startled at first, because they found that not only the emperor and ministers were in the hall at this time, but there were even several women standing beside the dragon column on the side.

These women are all dressed in concubines' clothes, but the leader is wearing a flaming phoenix clothes. The envoys present are all well-informed people. They know that there are only two people who can wear phoenix clothes in the Tang Dynasty. She is the wife of King Zhao of the West Mansion.

But the person in front of her in phoenix clothes and body is graceful and luxurious, and her age seems to be in the age of charm, so she is definitely not the wife of Zhao Wangzheng of the West Palace, but the eldest grandson of a country in the Tang Dynasty.

"Strange..." Lu Dongzan's eyes flashed lightly, and a hint of doubt suddenly appeared in his heart.

He secretly glanced at Zhangsun and the others, and thought to himself: "The Tang Dynasty is no better than the surrounding territories. It has inherited the Confucian tradition since ancient times. Women have never been allowed to interfere in state affairs. How can the queen and concubines be allowed to go to the palace today?"

This guy has been thinking about it for a long time, but he has never been able to understand the key points. Now he secretly keeps a plan in his heart, but he shows a solemn color on the surface. He bowed his hands to Li Shimin and said, "Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

The envoys in the back also hurriedly bowed, but the etiquette was different.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair to accept the etiquette, and after all the envoys had finished their salute, the emperor suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, his eyes bright and said: "All the envoys have come to my Tang Dynasty from thousands of miles, with the friendship and love between the countries on their shoulders. I'm very happy about this, and I consider you all friends. Hurry up and forgive me, let's talk properly..."

This is an official word, and no one is willing to take it seriously.

Lu Dongzan's eyes flickered a few times, and he was the first to ask: "I don't know what your Majesty's move, what exactly is it? We were resting in Honglu Temple, and we rushed over after hearing that."

Li Shimin laughed again, and seemed to be relieved: "It's very good, very good, I feel very relieved." The emperor suddenly gave Lu Dongzan a meaningful look, and then said: "It's right for Da Xiang to rush here, because I am about to bestow a great opportunity, and this matter may be contested or not, no matter how non-stop it is."

Lu Dong praised "Oh", and said curiously: "I don't know what your Majesty bestowed, but you call it a great opportunity?"

Li Shimin stood up abruptly from the dragon chair, his eyes swept away at the envoys present, and solemnly said: "The Tubo had wanted to marry the princess before, but it was put on hold because of trivial matters. This time, the stinky boy at home happened to be away, and I was thinking about it. I should marry my daughter. I'm not afraid of my son, I just bother him to make noise again, while he's not around, hahaha, you know..."

The envoys were stunned for a while, and couldn't help but look at Lu Dongzan.

Lu Dongzan's expression was vaguely proud, and his two eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

Li Shimin also raised his eyebrows, and suddenly said, "The reason for my marriage this time is that Tubo wanted to marry and marry, but I treat everything equally in my life, and I suddenly felt that I couldn't just give it to Tubo daughters."

The smugness on Lu Dongzan's face froze suddenly, and there was a faint feeling of unpleasantness in his heart.He suddenly asked in a hurry, and said worriedly: "What does Your Majesty mean by this, do you want to marry multiple daughters?"

Li Shimin laughed and shook his head, pointed at Lu Dong and praised: "You are greedy, how can you marry more? My princesses are all golden branches and jade leaves, and marrying one is already a great gift."

Lu Dongzan's eyes flickered a few times, and said, "If that's the case, why did Your Majesty say that it can't be given only to the Tubo daughter?"

Li Shimin suddenly gave him a meaningful look, and said lightly: "There is no reason for this, I want all countries to fight."

Lu Dongzan was suddenly shocked, and he blurted out: "His Majesty the Tang Dynasty..."

It's a pity that Li Shimin didn't even look at him. He suddenly turned his eyes to all the people present. Youyou opened his mouth and said, "This time I'm marrying a daughter, it's not a marriage. The reason for my marriage is to recruit my son-in-law for support. I have discussed it. My Tang Dynasty royal family will have a daughter who will be married to a country with a destiny, no matter who can marry the princess, the Tang Dynasty will definitely form a brotherhood with her."

The emperor stopped slowly when he said this, and sat back on the dragon chair with a leisurely expression.

Fang Xuanling, who was in the middle of the class, suddenly came out and continued: "Whoever marries the Tang princess will be a relative of the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty, Long En, has promised thousands of dowries, one car of gold, ten cars of silver, and ten cars of silk. Innumerable silk cloth, innumerable tea bricks, salt and iron, and business roads are exempted from tax, and books are supported, unique copies of past dynasties, exquisite ceramics, various techniques, and the strategy of training troops by the three guards in the West House, as well as a thousand sets of firearms and flintlocks. One thousand sets of divine arm crossbows, fifty third-generation red-clothed cannons, twenty hot air balloons, and [-] cavalry troops as princess escorts. Not subject to the Great Tang salary..."

wow——

All the envoys have gold stars in their eyes.

This is a big profit!Shocking profit!

Once you marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, you can get these dowries immediately.Gold and silver silk and silk do not matter, but tea, brick, salt and iron are powerful.Tea, brick, salt and iron have already made people jealous, and they have to open a business road for tax-free later.

These alone are enough to make people fight, but no one would have thought that the Tang Dynasty still has support, listen, history books, single copies of past dynasties, exquisite ceramics, various technologies, which one of these is not enviable?

The worst is the latter.

The training strategy of the Three Guards of the West Palace is a treasure book that all the kings of all countries in the world long for.

A thousand sets of firearms and flintlocks, my mother, this is the artifact of Megatron.

One thousand sets of divine arm crossbows, I will be good, who knows that this thing is a big killer on the battlefield?

There are also red-clothed cannons, which are instantly invincible when placed in the city.Although I have never seen a hot air balloon, who has never heard of it since it entered the Tang Dynasty as an envoy?It is said that riding on this thing can ascend to the sky and attack the enemy from the sky.

The most important thing is the [-] dowry cavalry, which is equivalent to sending troops to their own country.

With so much dowry, it can no longer be described as a dowry. Even a small country can become a great power in just a few years as long as it marries a princess...

The envoys present only felt that their eyes were all red, and there seemed to be countless rabbits thumping in their hearts.They heard it very clearly just now that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not designate to marry a daughter Tubo, but that all countries present had the opportunity.

Just when everyone was excited, Li Shimin on the dragon chair suddenly let out a long sigh, and said with some hint: "Although my stinky boy makes me upset, and often quarrels with me about marrying a daughter, but You should know how much this kid loves his younger sister, once a country marries a princess, the emperor of that country will immediately become the brother-in-law of my stinky boy!"

The emperor suddenly looked at the audience, hehe smiled and said: "With the support and backing of King Zhao of the West House, the benefits of it don't need me to tell you."

This time, all the envoys exploded.Everyone looked at Lu Dongzan with blood-red eyes, and many even wanted to kill him with a knife.

Chapter 639 The real purpose of the princess choosing her husband

All the envoys and ministers glared at each other, and Lu Dongzan also glared back. Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair as a spectator, and there was a faint glint in the emperor's eyes.

Lu Dongzan and the envoys of other countries glared for a long time, and suddenly remembered that it was the emperor who made the decision on this matter. The Tubo Prime Minister suddenly turned his head to salute Li Shimin, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty of the Tang Dynasty, Lu Dongzan is very polite. , this time the princess recruits a son-in-law, I, Tubo, will definitely do my part..."

Li Shimin smiled without saying a word, staring at the crowd.

Fang Xuanling in the courtroom laughed, and suddenly asked softly, "Why did the great minister of Tubo say this, and I don't know what to say to teach me?"

Lu Dongzan coughed, and looked proudly: "Looking at all the countries in the world, only Tubo can be compared with the Tang Dynasty. The Western Turks were defeated in the first battle. Tuyuhun suffered a white hair storm last year. The rest of the Western Regions are all weak and ridiculous. Some countries even have only one city. How can such a strength marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty? Wouldn’t it make the world ridicule if it was spread out?”

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard slightly and said with a smile: "It's okay, the elementary school is just in front of you. Everything depends on the future. As long as the Tang Dynasty establishes diplomatic relations and supports, any small country can become a big country..."

The chief assistant of the Great Tang Dynasty suddenly gave Lu Dongzan a meaningful look, and then said: "The Prime Minister should understand that the dowry of our princess is so generous. If such a dowry is injected into a certain country, no matter how stupid the king is, he can take off." rise!"

This is what Lu Dongzan worries about.

This time Datang wants to marry the princess, not at all because of defeat and seeking peace.In all dynasties and dynasties, marriages in the Central Plains paid women to pay dowry, so the dowry given could be as little as possible, and even if it was given, it would only be gold, silver, silk and silk.
