The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 266 Whispering
don't know?Lu Dongzan smiled wryly in his heart, how could he not understand.

Lu Dongzan always felt that his love with that noble girl in Tubo was as pure as a lotus flower on a snow-capped mountain, but it was far away. He did not expect to see this silent guardian in the palace of the Tang Dynasty. love.

Although it is admiration, but for the sake of Tubo, and for the great cause of Songtsen Gampo, Lu Dongzan also had to ruthlessly smash this kind of love. Of course, he did not intend to let Xuan Shijing go. Xuan Shijing's existence is very important to Tubo Speaking, it may be a catastrophe.

"No matter what Dongshanhou talks about now, the truth is that the marriage between Datang and Tubo is also mutually beneficial. Although Dongshanhou is interested in Princess Jinyang, in front of the family, the country and the world, how should Dongshanhou choose? Tell me more about the truth." Lu Dongzan said with a smile.

"No, is it possible that the prime minister also has the habit of sending his beloved woman into other people's arms casually? I, Xuan Shijing, am a man of the sky, but I can't do such a thing. What's more, the marriage that the prime minister is talking about now is also It’s just that your majesty hasn’t agreed to it while you’re giving a speech, and my Tang courtiers haven’t published a single thing, so why are you obsessed with it yourself, it’s a bit rude.” Xuan Shijing laughed.

"Xiao Jing is right, Prime Minister, Jinyang is Gu's favorite young girl, she is still young, and Gu thinks it is not suitable to marry Zanpu of your country. If Prime Minister wants to promote the good relationship between Tubo and Tang, Qin and Jin, I'm afraid We still have to choose someone else," Li Chengqian said.

His Majesty Li Er looked at the people in the palace without saying a word. His Majesty Li Er was also uncertain about the marriage between Tubo and Datang. In this way, Hanzhou and the surrounding Datang border will no longer be invaded by Tubo.

But on the other hand, His Majesty Li Er is a person with deep pockets in his chest. Although marriage has many benefits, the word marriage can always become an uncomfortable lump in his heart if put here.

"His Royal Highness, I came from Tubo for thousands of miles. In order to marry my young sister, I specially brought many treasures from Tubo. If the Tang Dynasty agrees with my Tubo Songtsan Gampo to marry Princess Jinyang of your country, I, Tubo, would like to marry you." Offer a thousand cattle and sheep, five hundred BMWs, and a lot of gold and silver."

"The Prime Minister thinks that my Great Tang is short of thousands of cattle, sheep, hundreds of horses and BMWs, as well as those gold and silver treasures?" Li Tai said: "Jinyang is regarded as a priceless treasure in the eyes of my brothers and me. Let him go to Tubo to suffer."

What Li Tai said was not polite at all. If she married to Tubo as a princess of the Tang Dynasty and became the princess of Songtsan Gampo, how could her life be so bad, but no matter how good the life of a Tubo princess is, How is Datang's life as a princess?In Datang, there will be her father and brother who love her, and Xuan Shijing who dotes on her endlessly, but in Tubo, she is just a symbolic tool for friendly exchanges between Tubo and Datang , for Datang, perhaps what he got was only the stability of Hanzhou and the surrounding borders, but what about Tubo?What they get will be much more than what they paid.

To put it bluntly, this is a loss-making business, and it is a bloodletting loss-making business.

Seeing Li Chengqian and Li Tai's firm attitude, Lu Dongzan knew that the two of them were not making sense. It seems that if they want to achieve their goals on this trip, they will have to spend a lot of effort.

"That's right, it's not just the princes who love Princess Jinyang, even the rough people like me on the battlefield love the little princess very much. It's not that the old man said you, you Tubo people are all big and rough , the little princess will not be wronged by you when she comes to your Tubo, not to mention, Lu Dongzan, Songtsan Gambo has already married a wife." Cheng Yaojin said, glaring at Lu Dongzan.

Hearing this, Lu Dongzan thumped in his heart, afraid of what would happen, just thinking about Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty receiving the consecrated family, but he did not expect that among these princes and courtiers, there would be such a good reputation, and praise It is also true that Pu has married a wife.

"Your Majesty, if Princess Datang can marry me, Tubo."

"Why, Songtsan Gampo can still divorce Princess Chizun?" Cheng Yaojin said.

"I'm afraid the best result is just being a flat wife." Li Ke laughed.

The position of an equal wife is a kind of humiliation to the Tang royal family, especially to a princess like Jinyang.

Lu Dongzan's face was already sweating, so his proposal to marry Princess Jinyang for Songtsan Gampo turned into a humiliation to Datang, a kind of disdain.

"From what the prime minister said, it must be because I have been immersed in the culture of the Central Plains for a long time." Xuan Shijing laughed.

If Fang Yiai sees the expression on Xuan Shijing's face and the words he uttered at this time, she will cry in her heart if she sees the expression on Xuan Shijing's face again. This person will probably say his irrefutable fallacies again.
"The culture of the Central Plains is extensive and profound, and I only know a little bit about it." Lu Dongzan said modestly.

"Does Prime Minister know the story of Zhaojun going out of the fortress?"

The marriage between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu is also the most famous story about peace that has been passed down to date.

"Know a thing or two." Lu Dongzan nodded honestly.

"During the Han Dynasty, before Emperor Wu, the Wen and Jing dynasties had been invaded by the Huns in the north for a long time, and they had to make peace with the Huns. At the time of Emperor Wu, Wei Huo sealed the wolf and lived in Xu, abolished the policy of marriage, and Zhaojun went out, and it was Emperor Yuan who was in power. At that time, decades have passed, Emperor Wu has passed away, and there is no such thing as Wei Huo in the court. To be honest, I think that since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the great Han has begun to go downhill. In addition, the Huns entered Chang'an three times to ask for marriage. The national power of the great Han may not be enough to fight the Xiongnu again, so Wang Zhaojun was named a princess, and marrying the Xiongnu is only one thing."

"This is a beautiful story through the ages, and Lord Hou thinks so too?" Lu Dongzan looked at Xuan Shijing, feeling a little unhappy. Although Wang Zhaojun represented the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu in those days, his identity was essentially just that of a man. It's just a court lady, could it be that Xuan Shijing meant that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would find any court lady to be a princess and marry Zanpu?

"The Xiongnu is strong, but the big man is weak, so the marriage has kept the big man's peace for decades." Xuan Shijing said.

"What the hell is Dongshanhou trying to say?" Although Lu Dongzan was confused by what Xuan Shijing said, he felt that Xuan Shijing's words were probably aimed at him again.

Xuan Shijing played with the wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't you understand, Prime Minister? The Marquis then told the Prime Minister directly and clearly that the Tang Dynasty was not a great man in the period of Emperor Han Yuan, and Tubo was not the powerful Xiongnu in those days. This time, do you understand?"
