Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 425 Who told you not to explain clearly?

Smart people are always conceited. Seeing that Lu Dongzan had easily solved his two problems, the emperor became eager to win, so he revised the remaining four exam questions overnight. Look at this Tubo Zanpu's reliance on Is he really that powerful?

The third test: stipulate that the envoy and his entourage drink one hundred jars of wine and eat one hundred sheep within a day, and knead the sheep's skin well.The fourth test: Give the envoys [-] pieces of pine wood and let them distinguish the roots and shoots.The fifth test, after drinking heavily, can accurately walk from Gyeongsun Palace to Suncheon Gate at night without getting lost.

Sixth test: let a thousand beauties in palace costumes stand in the square, and let them identify who is the county head chosen by the emperor.The emperor's calculations were pretty good, especially the fifth and sixth rounds. This is almost impossible to complete the assessment. Take the route from Qingshan Palace to Shuntian Gate. If you don't go in and out of the palace often, you won't be able to get there. I understand, let alone an envoy who has only passed by two or three times.

However, this Lu Dongzan really deserves to be the most intelligent person on the plateau. The emperor's four exams were all broken, especially the last one, which can be called the finishing touch.Among thousands of people, this guy found the county lord in just one stick of incense.

Not to mention that civil and military officials and envoys from various countries couldn't figure it out, even the emperor who was the instigator was even more puzzled. Originally, he planned to use [-] court ladies to form this formation, but to make it more difficult, he increased it to [-] people. How did you do it?

To the emperor's question, Lu Dongzan answered in this way: Among the thousands of people present, only the county magistrate had piercing eyes, firmness and gentleness, and exuded nobility in every frown and smile, which shows the quality of his family background and upbringing. Not bad, this extraordinary palace lady is comparable.

Just when the emperor and his ministers were admiring Lu Dongzan's wisdom, Li Chengqian, who had been looking at him coldly, raised his mouth slightly, and glanced at the shift below, "You are so smart, but you are so smart." It's too much, can such a trick be deceived by the people of the world? .
Anyway, the county head is going to marry, who is not marrying? Lu Dongzan can solve so many problems, which shows that he is very talented. Accompanied by Brother Li You, the distance between Shuangfa was shortened in the form of family rituals.

After exchanging greetings and pushing glasses, Li Shimin put down the wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile: "Lu Qing, I have always heard that Tubo advocates Buddhism. Since Zanpu, he has been counseling Li Buddha every day. Is there any ten good things in this precious country?" As for the law, are there any high-level monasteries, and there are so many monks, are there any goods to supply?"

The Central Plains Dynasty was a secular society from the beginning to the end. The emperor and the gentry group controlled the discourse power, never a religious group. He was full of curiosity about such a country controlled by religion, so he wondered how the Zanpu on the plateau would deal with those The god stick is dictating.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Buddhism is only one of the many sects in Tubo. Because the teachings and scriptures are more able to educate the people than other sects, everyone in Tubo has been baptized. As for the monasteries and expenses, of course the royal family is responsible. Although I Zanpu is young, But for monks and Taoists, they are very respectful.

In particular, the monks who travel to the Central Plains must pay homage to them in person, and ask for advice on China's customs, teachings and classics. .”

Well, after nodding his head, Li Shimin smiled: "Lu Qing, you are a man of great talent. I love him very much. I want to marry you as the wife of the Duan family, the granddaughter of Princess Langya, and then worship you as the Great General of the Right Guard. Just stay in the Central Plains, as for the Lord of Tubo, I will greet him!"

ah?What I said, why did the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty abolish so many Zhou chapters? Feelings put his mind on Lao Tzu's head.

This is not okay, isn't this breaking my Zanpu's arm?So Lu Dongzan hurriedly got up from his seat, bowed down on the ground, and said in his mouth: "I have a wife in this country, hired by my parents, and I can't bear to be good, and Zanpu has not visited the county master. How dare I marry my accompanying minister? Kuang loyal minister Serve the second master, a good girl does not serve the second husband, even if the foreign ministers are barbarians, they don't care about being more polite!"

Look, I told you a long time ago that it is impossible for such a person to be used by the Tang Dynasty.Just when the emperor failed to recruit embarrassingly, Li Chengqian left the seat with a glass of wine, and glanced at Lu Dongzan who was pretending to be pitiful.

"My father loves talents, but he is also my favorite lord. As the saying goes, twisted melons are not sweet. Datang's talents are inexhaustible and inexhaustible, just like crucian carp crossing the river. Quan, why do you have to embarrass a loyal minister!

People with lofty ideals have always been valued by sages. With Lu Dongzan and the noble daughters of our dynasty, the great Tang and Tubo, the good of the Qin and Jin Dynasties, will surely benefit countless people in the two countries. I would like to congratulate my father! "

"That's right, what His Royal Highness said is very true. After the foreign ministers return to the country, they must report to Zanpu, pay tribute every year, and come to the court every year." After receiving Li Chengqian's words, Lu Dongzan hurriedly kowtowed on the ground to pay his respects. Please let the Emperor of Tang Dynasty change his holy will.

Well, well, after admiring, Li Shimin took a meaningful look at his son, this bastard has already seen everything through, that's all, since he is caressing, then why should I recruit this person.

"Hey, I won't force others to make things difficult for me, Lu Qing, I have given full power to the prince about the etiquette of the big wedding. If you have any requirements, you can go and talk to him. Well, I am also tired, today Just come here!".
Ten days later, after receiving the gift list provided by the Ministry of Rites, Lu Dongzan's brows became pimples. What are these? To put it this way, don't think that people from other countries are easy to fool.

"What's the problem with this? Gold, silver, jewelry and jade are all formulated according to the standards of His Majesty's eldest daughter, Princess Xiangcheng. I don't see anything wrong with it. Could it be that the number of things on it is wrong?"

The gift list given by the Ministry of Rites reads: 1 taels of gold, 3 taels of silver, 2000 boxes of jewelry and jade, [-] Confucian classics, and [-] books of various Buddhist and Taoist scriptures. Hundreds, three hundred guards, and [-] monks and priests.

"King Jiang Xia, do you princesses of the Tang Dynasty only need such things when they get married? Okay, I won't talk about gold and silver. What about craftsmen and technical books? Did I tell the prince of your country about these things?"

What's the matter, what is the difference between such a dowry gift and those married ladies from noble families? Is this the style of a great country in the Central Plains?Aren't you afraid of laughing at the big teeth of the countries if you spread the word?Besides, what do I want so much to do with bald donkeys and Taoist priests, is it a waste of food?
Seeing Lu Dongzan's angry appearance, Li Daozong chuckled, "Oh, you really don't have a long heart, who is the prince, you can still take advantage of him, so he said that the etiquette should be set for the princess of Xiangcheng." Li Daozong knew that his nephew was trying to cheat this guy.

At that time, what kind of national power was the Tang Dynasty? One copper coin had to be broken into two flowers. In addition, the East Palace did not send a message, which means that the crown prince is waiting for Tubo to get angry, so that he can use their hands to quell the opposition in the court. The voice, it's good to use your strength to fight.

"Oh, I said Lu Dongzan. That's why you don't understand the national conditions of the Tang Dynasty. Come and have a good talk with me." After speaking, Li Daozong made a gesture of invitation to Lu Dongzan, signaling Sit down first and speak slowly.

In the Tang Dynasty, the dowry of the princesses of the previous generation was not rich. When they got married, they either caught up with the turmoil in the country at the beginning of Wu Dechu, or after Li Yuan abdicated, so even if the dowry was wronged, they could not say anything. .

Among the princesses of the same generation, the richest one is Li Lizhi, but even her, the dowry gold and silver are not very much. This is specially ordered by Empress Changsun. She doesn't want people to say that she is a person who favors one another, so she just built a The mansion was increased by adding fiefdoms and rewarding several Zhuangzi.

The rest of the dowry is a gift list made by the East Palace alone. Rao Li Daozong is very knowledgeable, and he was speechless when he saw it. He once miscalculated that the dowry of Princess Changle was five times that of King Wei. From this, we can see Come out, the prince dotes on his little sister so much.

As for the county lord sent by the imperial court today, he has no blood relationship with him, so there is no need to accompany him to the East Palace, so I think it is normal to be less, and there is no such thing as forced buying and selling!
"Little brother, aren't you an expert in the Central Plains? You should know what it means not to be ashamed to ask. You should have made it clear to His Royal Highness that you want the same treatment as Princess Changle.

As for the craftsmen you mentioned, His Highness said that you are going back to build temples or something. These people usually do repair work in temples. It is absolutely no problem to build temples for you. of! ".
