Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 419 Lu Dongzan (1)
It is not too much to describe the emperor as "heavenly majestic". In Li Chengqian's opinion, apart from Emperor Guangwu, the "son of the plane", no emperor who rebelled has a more charismatic personality than him. .

Starting from Jinyang, he has occupied the world for several years. Needless to say, he has military accomplishments, and more importantly, he has continuously recruited a large number of civil servants and generals through his own charm.

In this regard, he can be said to be omnipotent, but in history, he, who is always victorious, would stumble on this Tubo barbarian. How could this not make Li Chengqian curious.

So when the emperor asked him to handle the coordination of the war between the two countries, Li Chengqian agreed without thinking about it, and he must meet this guy who left a strong mark in the history of both countries.

It is Li Chengqian's constant rule not to fight uncertain battles, so he specially found Feng Dexia, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. This old boy has been sent to Tubo and knows the national conditions and customs of Tubo. He must not grab a hot steamed bun with cold hands. At that time, not only will things not be done, but Lu Dongzan will underestimate the Crown Prince of Shang Kingdom.

Lu Dongzan is a Chinese name. This guy's original name was Gar Dongzan, and his family hereditaryly owned the fiefs in the Jiabu area.After Songtsan Gampo succeeded to the throne, he led the Tubo cavalry to conquer most of the Tubo plateau and established Tubo's dominance in the plateau.

At the same time when Tubo was powerful on the plateau, Songtsan Gampo sent Gar Dongzan and Thonmi Sambuza as envoys to Nibhara, and proposed marriage to King Guangzhou, hoping to marry Princess Bricuti (Princess Chizun) as his envoy. concubine.After three times of verbal battles, devious wits, and threats to send troops, King Guangzhou was forced to marry Princess Chizun to Songtsan Gampo.

Looking at this guy who saluted with the standard Chinese etiquette, Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile in his heart, what the hell, if you didn't know that you are a master of both carrots and big sticks, I would have really let you be fooled by your simple and honest appearance.

"Dongzan, I heard that Zanpu in your country is about the same age as Gu, and he is also a warrior who is skilled in bow and horse. He often leads troops in battle. Come, tell Gu what kind of person he is. As a brother of Youbang, Mr. Gu Can't be ignorant of him!"

If this question is asked by an ordinary Tang official, Lu Dongzan will definitely refuse it sternly. Regardless of the king, he must also ensure the mystery of Zanpu, so that the people of the Central Plains will always fear that there is a young and strong leader on the plateau. So that Datang, a powerful country in the east, would not dare to look west easily.

However, Lu Dongzan couldn't refuse Li Chengqian's question. First of all, the identities of the two were similar. In addition, the Tang Dynasty's pervasive caravans would always bring back some definite news, so he couldn't lie to this powerful country at all. Prince Chu.

Therefore, Lu Dongzan put down the teacup in his hand, and replied with a smile: "His Royal Highness, my family Zanpu is the only son of the late king, and he is deeply loved by the royal family and subjects. Since the beginning of Kaimeng, the king has invited many teachers for him. Crafts, calendars and martial arts.

When he succeeded Zanpu, he quelled the internal strife in Tubo with iron and blood, and then led the army to completely wipe out the old clan forces, so that all the tribes in our big Tubo returned to the kingship. It can be said that Zanpu is a rare hero in the plateau for hundreds of years. Under his rule, he achieved great victories year after year and was invincible. "

"It's not that I'm flattering you. In terms of the leaders of all countries, only my Zanpu and Your Highness are the only ones who can be called young heroes. The foreign ministers have heard the nobles from Tuyuhun talk about His Highness's heroic appearance on the battlefield. It's really not a loss. He is the son of Tian Khan!"

During the conversation, Lu Dongzan also raised his thumbs up and kept shaking his wrists, his expression of admiration was beyond words, as if not being so was not enough to express his admiration for the Crown Prince of Shang Kingdom.

"After entering Guanzhong, the foreign ministers learned from the officials and the people that His Highness is not only proficient in military affairs, but also good at governing the country. Many benevolent policies in the Tang Dynasty were completed under the auspices of His Highness. The foreign ministers' admiration for His Highness is even greater. After returning to the country, the foreign ministers must report to my family Zanpu, asking him to communicate with His Highness in terms of governance and administration, so that the two countries of Tang and Tubo can communicate with each other. Forever on good terms, in order to benefit the people of the two countries.”

In the Central Plains, there is a saying that people must ask for courtesy. The Tang Dynasty was deeply influenced by the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. Tang had no reason to intervene in the war between Tubo and Bolu.

What's more, the purpose of his trip is not only for the war between the two countries, but also to complete the marriage mission that has never been achieved, so how can he not make the father and son happy!
After hearing Lu Dongzan's compliment, Li Chengqian waved his hand immediately, and then said: "The Tang Dynasty established the country with martial arts, the great power won by Emperor Taiwu and His Majesty in hundreds of battles was hard-won, and Gu also followed suit tremblingly. I am not afraid of your jokes, There are so many things, but I just bite the bullet and cross the river by feeling the stones, like walking on thin ice, and I dare not slack off in the slightest.

Therefore, don't believe what other people say about the wealth of dragons and phoenixes, the appearance of the sun, and Gu is also an ordinary person with two shoulders and one head, not so mysterious. "

"This time, your majesty has ordered Gu to handle the mediation between you and Bolu. Before you come, Gu also summoned Feng Shilang and Bolu's envoys to learn about the customs of Tubo and Bolu.

In my opinion, don't fight this battle, don't talk about hurting the peace, but also waste the people and money, Datang is a middleman, you both stop fighting, the two countries get back together, and exchange what's good, wouldn't it be beautiful! "

kindness?After listening to Li Chengqian's words, Lu Dongzan's heart skipped a beat. This King Bolu is really amazing. Just sacrificed a princess so that such a powerful country like Datang can easily stand on their side. How can this be possible? Then Isn't Tubo's plan to dominate the plateau delayed?No, absolutely not!
"His Royal Highness, are you dissatisfied with the conditions offered by Tubo? If you think it is not enough, you can discuss it later. Foreign ministers can represent Zanpu with full authority." Lu Dongzan quickly stood up and expressed his opinion. Regarding Bolu's problem, his trip is If he is determined to win, no matter how much it costs, he will definitely turn this matter over, at least let Datang remain neutral.

"Foreign ministers don't think so. All the royal families who fled to our country from Tuyuhun were handed over to Datang, and sent troops to assist Datang to encircle and suppress those stragglers on the western front. At the same time, they returned the three cities west of Songzhou that were occupied by our country during the Sui Dynasty. What do you think? ?”

Hehe, while smiling politely, Li Chengqian also slammed Lu Dongzan in his heart, what are you thinking, ah, let you destroy all the small countries around you, and then go east after accumulating your strength?

The Tuyuhun royal family is nothing but a fart. Without land and troops, they are no better than toothless tigers. Why do I want them to come back? Wasting food?
The three cities are not bad, but I am not in a hurry, one day your land will be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty like Tuyuhun, now we only need to tie your legs and trap your hands and feet.

While Lu Dongzan was calm on the surface and anxiously waiting in his heart, Li Chengqian, as the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty, shook his head resolutely! .
