Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1244

Xue Yantuo's envoys stared at Qin Tian closely, as if they might miss something if they were not careful.

Qin Tian smiled lightly, and said: "My Tang Dynasty wants to marry a princess to you, so naturally I need a dowry gift. If Xue Yantuo doesn't give you some dowry gift, wouldn't my princess of the Tang Dynasty be very wronged?"

When ordinary people marry their daughters, they still need a betrothal gift, and when an emperor marries a princess, naturally there will be no less betrothal gifts.

It is quite normal for Qin Tian to ask for a betrothal gift now.

Envoy Xue Yantuo's cheeks twitched slightly after hearing this. It is indeed normal for Datang to marry a princess to ask for a dowry, but the amount of dowry is not something they can easily bear.

However, even though he understood this, the envoy Xue Yantuo didn't show it, and soon still smiled and said: "I wonder how much dowry the Tang Dynasty wants?"

Qin Tian smiled: "Not many, not many, [-] cattle and sheep each, [-] horses..."

Qin Tian muttered about the betrothal gift they wanted from the Tang Dynasty. After he finished speaking, the envoy Xue Yantuo suddenly took a cold breath.

That's not much?
As for the dowry that Datang asked for, if Zhenzhu Khan could give it, he would be considered blind.

Datang obviously opened his mouth at the lion.

Xue Yantuo's envoy's expression moved slightly, and after a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said: "There are a lot of betrothal gifts from the Tang Dynasty. It's really hard to say whether Xue Yantuo can take them out. I need to go back and ask His Majesty Khan for instructions. What do you think, sir?"

Qin Tiandao: "Of course there is no problem with this. Go back and ask for instructions. If you have any news, report it immediately, so that I can tell our Emperor Tang."

Xue Yantuo's envoy hurriedly took orders to retreat, but as soon as he left, Qin Huaiyu and the others came up to meet him.

"Brother Qin, if you want so much, then Xue Yantuo probably won't be able to get it?" Cheng Chumo felt that Qin Tian was a bit ruthless, and the betrothal gift he asked for was a bit too much.

Qin Huaiyu and the others also felt that it was a little too much, but Qin Tian shrugged: "Is it a lot? I don't think it's too much at all. The Zhenzhu Khan can still get it out."

Speaking of this, Qin Tian smiled again, and said, "Even if Zhenzhu Khan can't get it out, but his entire tribe of Xue Yantuo can get it out."

Qin Tian didn't explain too much, but they suddenly understood at that moment.

The envoys of Xue Yantuo hurried back to Xue Yantuo's royal city.

Zhenzhu Khan has been waiting for news.

"His Majesty Khan..."

Seeing that the envoy had returned, Zhenzhu Khan quickly asked, "How is it? Did Tang accept our surrender?"

"Your Majesty Khan, Datang accepted our surrender, and they also agreed to marry the princess to His Majesty."

Hearing this, Zhenzhu Khan breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then became a little excited. The matter of marrying Datang's princess was just a tentative mention. He was not sure whether Datang agreed or disagreed.

What he didn't expect was that Datang actually agreed.

This is a bit of a surprise and surprise.

However, when Zhenzhu Khan was very excited, the envoy said again: "Your Majesty Khan, although Datang agreed to marry the princess, they have conditions, and this condition is a bit difficult for us."

At this time, Zhenzhu Khan didn't care about these things. As long as Datang was willing to marry the princess to them, even if the conditions were not fulfilled, it didn't matter.

"What conditions does Datang want?"

"They want a dowry gift, and it's a lot, [-] cattle and sheep..."

The envoy told Zhenzhu Khan the list of betrothal gifts that Qin Tian said, and after saying this, Zhenzhu Khan couldn't help but take a cold breath.

"So much?"

He is His Majesty Khan, he can be regarded as a person who has seen a lot of wealth, but now he also feels a little too much after hearing the dowry that Datang wants.

The envoy stood by the side and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty Khan, if there are not many, how can they be willing to marry the princess, but in the view of my subordinates, if we don't marry Princess Datang, Datang should also accept us Those who have lowered the table, after all, Datang is fighting on both sides, and they can't afford it here."

Datang would definitely accept their surrender, but after thinking about it, Zhenzhu Khan shook his head: "No, the princess of Datang must marry."

If he can't marry the princess of Datang, then Zhenzhu Khan is no different from other tribal leaders and cannot get real support from Datang. If Datang says he supports other tribal leaders, he may support other tribal leaders.

Only when he married the princess and something really happened, Datang would be more partial to Zhenzhu Khan.

Datang asked for a lot of dowry, but he thought he could still raise it.

Maybe, he doesn't have enough here, but there are some in the leaders of other tribes. He can recruit from other tribes, and in this way, it can also consume the strength of other tribes.

After thinking about it this way, Zhenzhu Khan made arrangements, while asking the envoys to explain the situation to Qin Tian, ​​and at the same time, sending people to various tribes to collect cattle, sheep, horses and so on.

After the envoy made an agreement with Zhenzhu Khan, he hurried to Datang's barracks and told Qin Tian what His Majesty Zhenzhu Khan agreed to. After Qin Tian listened, he nodded: "Okay, Since you have agreed, then I will report to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you can rest assured that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will definitely agree."

Xue Yantuo's envoy did not have any objection to Qin Tian's words, because he was very clear about Qin Tian's position in Datang. If Qin Tian supported the marriage, many people in Datang would basically support it.

What's more, even if Li Shimin doesn't support it, it won't have much impact on them. Their betrothal gift must be delivered after Li Shimin agrees.

As long as Li Shimin agrees, the matter will be considered a success. Could it be possible that Li Shimin can still regret the marriage?
Therefore, they can have a perfect plan.

After the envoy Xue Yantuo finished talking to Qin Tian, ​​he hurried back again. Qin Tian showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and immediately wrote two memorials.

"Submit this memorial according to the normal situation, and give me the other memorial to the British Duke, so that he can take it and deliver it to the Holy Majesty himself."

Some memorials can be seen by others, some are more private and cannot be seen by others, and the memorial Qin Tian gave to Li Ji is not seen by others.

After Qin Tian gave such instructions, two messengers immediately rushed to Chang'an City with different memorials.

According to their speed, within eight hundred miles, they will be able to return to Chang'an City in about a few days.

And when Qin Tian's messenger returned to Chang'an City with the memorial, at Xue Yantuo's place, Zhenzhu Khan's people had already started searching tribe by tribe, which was definitely a very painful thing for those tribes.

But in terms of strength, they are not the opponents of Zhenzhu Khan, and Zhenzhu Khan is still their khan, he has this power.

So hate can only be a secret hate.
