"Besides, to marry my princess of the Tang Dynasty, the bride price required should be extremely generous. I wonder how much Tubo Nazanpu can prepare?"

Without waiting for Shang Nang and Lu Dongzan to speak again, Li Xuan continued: "You have been in Chang'an for so many days, and a few days ago Xue Rengui, Marquis of Pingyang County, presented me to Princess Xiangcheng of the Tang Dynasty. here I am!

How much dowry did His Majesty give to Princess Xiangcheng?

There are hundreds of carts, five or six Zhuangzi, and tens of thousands of acres of land! "

"As for the betrothal gift of the Marquis of Pingyang, what do you know? The loyalty of a top general in the Tang Dynasty in the future, the territory of a country as large as Goguryeo, and even gods like potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn!"

"You think, can Songtsan Gampo bring such a big dowry to Datang?"

"This……"

Both Shang Nang and Lu Dongzan couldn't help being stiff.

Don't talk about the betrothal gifts that they were shocked to hear, it is absolutely impossible for them to abandon their ancestors and praise them to live in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty!
"Hmph, Songtsan Gampo doesn't want to pay for my Tang princess, and he doesn't want to come to live in Chang'an, Tang Dynasty, but do you think I'm so easy to marry?"

Li Xuan's face was full of frost, "If Songtsan Gampo of Tubo can't do this matter, don't mention it again!"

"This time, this king is looking at the letter of credence, and I will let you go for now. However, if you dare to mention it casually next time, this king will definitely let you taste it, the food that was eaten by hungry wolves in the wild taste!"

"Thank you, Your Highness King Jin!"

Shang Nang and Lu Dongzan hurriedly nodded in response.

Then, thinking of something again, Shang Nang and Lu Dongzan looked at each other.

"May I ask His Royal Highness King Jin, is Tang really going to launch an army against Tuyuhun?"

"Just natural!"

Li Xuan sneered, and said bitterly: "It's just a small country of barbarians who invaded our Tang Dynasty again and again. It was in vain that we were so kind to them before the Tang Dynasty. The wolf cubs who were not familiar with it happened to be killed all over the place in the Tang Dynasty. When he rises up, destroy the country in one fell swoop to relieve the hatred in the king's heart!"

"Such a small country should be destroyed!"

Shang Nang and Lu Dongzan nodded again and again, with deep approval on their faces.

"It's just that such a shameless small country is not worthy of the king's personal action. I can destroy it after I do it!"

"This king wants to take those Tuyuhun thieves to Chang'an to make amends for their sins, why would you use your hand?"

Li Xuan glanced at Shang Nang and Lu Dongzan, and said coldly: "Ten days at the latest, when those Tuyuhun thieves have completely relaxed their vigilance, my Tang Dynasty will use Li Jing, the Duke of Dai, as the chief commander of the Xikaidao march, Li Ji, Duke of England, was the chief marcher of Jishi Road, Li Daozong, king of Rencheng, was the chief marcher of Shanshan Road, Li Daliang, the governor of Liangzhou, was the chief marcher of Qiemo Road, Gong Zhijie of Suguo was the chief marcher of Chishui Road, and Li Xiaogong, king of Hejian County, was the chief marcher of Yanze Road. Marshal!

This time, the six armies are coming together, and they are determined to completely destroy the thief country Tuyuhun! "

"Six Route Army?"

Both Shang Nang and Lu Dongzan couldn't help being shocked.

"It's natural. Now that our Tang Dynasty is strong and powerful, the small country of Tuyuhun dares to invade our Great Tang again. If it doesn't destroy its country, what is the power of our Great Tang Dynasty?"

Li Xuan was full of complacency.

However, in the words, there was a trace of unwillingness.

And Shang Nang and Lu Dongzan are deeply trusted by Songtsan Gambo, and they are the most proficient in observing words and expressions and trying to figure out people's hearts.

"His Royal Highness Jin Wang is so brave, this time when the Great Tang army conquered the thief country of Tuyuhun, His Royal Highness Jin Wang did not go out?"

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan snorted coldly, as if to lift which pot was left open.

"It's a small country like Tuyuhun, why do you need me to take action?"

"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness King Jin is brave and invincible. A small country like Tuyuhun is not worthy of King Jin personally leading troops to go out!"

Lu Dongzan quickly put on a dog-legged look.

Li Xuan just glanced at him indifferently, and said in a cold voice: "What else can you do?"

"what?"

Both Shang Nang and Lu Dongzan were startled, and they didn't react immediately.

"If there is nothing wrong, you can leave!"

With that said, Li Xuan had already stood up first.

"You are the envoys of Tubo. It is against the rules to meet with the king privately for a long time!"

Now, Shang Nang and Lu Dongzan finally understood,

He quickly got up and bowed his hands to Li Xuan.

"The envoy resigns!"

Li Xuan nodded slowly, and at the same time said to the steward beside him: "Steward, go and send off one and two envoys!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang quickly responded.

After Shang Nang and Lu Dongzan left, Li Xuan thought for a moment, then went to the study, wrote a memorial, and then asked the chief minister Chu Suiliang to present the memorial to Taiji Palace.

The next day.

The story of King Jin's memorandum, without accident, spread throughout Chang'an.

Especially the Honglu guest house, they know it in detail.

"The Princess of the Tang Dynasty never marries outside... the betrothal gift of the Princess of the Tang Dynasty... the Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty..."

After listening to the reports from their subordinates, Shang Nang and Ludong Zhanou couldn't help but have strange expressions on their faces.

"Great Minister, this memorandum from the King of Jin is completely aimed at us!" Lu Dongzan was a little surprised.

"According to the cautious temperament of that King Jin, this matter is natural!"

Shang Nang had an expression that he had known for a long time, and said very calmly: "As Tubo envoys, I actually visited the King of Jin for the second time in person, and it took so long. The King of Jin will naturally explain to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty It is clear why we are waiting!"

"I see!"

Hearing this, Lu Dongzan nodded with a clear face.

"Great Minister, then do we still need to meet the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and ask the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to marry the Princess of the Tang Dynasty?"

"It's natural!"

Shang Nang said in a low voice: "I am here this time, under the order of Nongzan of Qizong, to ask the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty. No matter what the result is, I will report to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It shows that I abandon the sect and praise it!"

"The prime minister is wise!"

Lu Dongzan praised quickly.

Shang Nang nodded lightly with a complacent expression, and then a look of helplessness.

"Unfortunately, we need to ask for instructions for many days when these foreign envoys want to enter the palace to meet the Emperor of Tang!"

"The emperor of the Tang Dynasty is too neglectful of us and other foreign envoys!"

Lu Dongzan said a little angrily.

"Be careful!"

Shang Nang said quickly.

"Since the Great Tang attacked the Turks, the attitude of the Great Tang towards us foreign envoys has been dispensable. Now, the Great Tang has also attacked the countries of Wa and Goguryeo. For our foreign envoys, of course It's even more indifferent.

If I offend the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I may be in danger of my life waiting in Chang'an! "

"We are foreign envoys, how dare they do this?" Lu Dongzan was a little disbelieving.

"But in the eyes of these Tang people, we are barbarian hozen!"

Shang Nang said helplessly, he had lived decades longer than Lu Dongzan, and he also knew better than Lu Dongzan the attitude of the Tang people towards them foreigners!

"Proud and arrogant Tang people..."

Lu Dongzan was also full of resentment!
