bastard seizes tang

Chapter 606
After Lu Dongzan and Li Ke exchanged their arms, Li Ke personally sent him out of the East Palace. After Lu Dongzan passed the gate of the East Palace, his head was still a little dazed.

After moving a box of jewelry, I waited from Si time to noon for most of the morning, drank a lot of water, and it was meal time. The hungry Lu Dongzan didn't even get the lunch in the East Palace, and Li Ke obviously There was no intention of entertaining him either.

But then again, Li Ke personally came forward to win over Lu Dongzan, and granted him the position of confidant of the prince's family order. Lu Dongzan refused Li Ke, and it was inconvenient for him to stay in the East Palace again, in front of Li Ke. dangled.

Lu Dongzan stood outside the gate of the East Palace, looking up at the bright sun above his head with dazzled eyes, he was in a daze for a while, and forgot why he was here.

"My lord Dongzan, what is the meaning of the Prince of the Tang Dynasty?" As soon as Lu Dongzan came out of the gate of the East Palace, Sangbuza rushed to meet him and asked Lu Dongzan eagerly.

Lu Dong sighed in admiration, shook his head and said, "The prince of the Tang Dynasty acts like a powerful and unconstrained style, and even more chaotic, what he means is really hard to figure out."

Lu Dongzan is also a cautious person, so naturally he would not tell Sangbuza about Li Ke's wooing him and wanting to ask him to be the prince's family order, so as not to cause trouble for nothing, and it would be troublesome if it reached Songtsan Gampo's ears.

Sang Buza watched Lu Dongzan come back with empty hands, so he continued: "The prince has accepted our gift, and he will not make things difficult for us again."

Datang is a country of etiquette, and etiquette is the most important thing. Lu Dongzan came to visit with a heavy gift. Since Li Ke has accepted the gift, he should follow the rules and stop embarrassing them.

This is true in common sense, but Lu Dongzan recalled Li Ke's attitude just now, but he was not very confident. Li Ke accepted the gift very simply, without the slightest sloppiness, but after Li Ke accepted the gift from Tubo, he backhandedly dug To get into the corner of Tubo, Lu Dongzan, the Tubo envoy, should be brought under the door of the East Palace. This is not something that the country of etiquette does.

Although Lu Dongzan is from Tubo, he has great admiration for the culture of the Central Plains. He was born in a rich and powerful family in Tubo. The works of hundreds of schools are even more precious, so Lu Dongzan was full of expectations for this trip to Chang'an.

Yesterday, Lu Dongzan first met Chang Sun Chong, the Minister of Rites. Chang Sun Chong was kind and courteous. It seems that the moon in Tang Dynasty is not rounder than that in Tubo.

Lu Dong praised: "The prince accepted the gift we gave, but the prince is really a bit arrogant, I'm afraid he may not see us in his eyes, we want to use him to exert force on the Tang court, I'm afraid we can't do it. "

Hearing this, Sang Buza worried and said: "The crown prince is the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty. If that's the case, what about the marriage marriage that Zanpu explained?"

In fact, this time when Sambuza and Lu Dongzan came to Datang, the tribute was only second. They also brought a more important thing, that is, marriage.

A few years ago, Tubo made a marriage proposal to the Tang Dynasty and asked to marry the princess, but was rejected by Li Shimin. Since then, the Battle of Songzhou started. Bu's desire to marry the princess did not die, and Lu Dongzan's mission this time was to ask Datang to marry the princess again.

Lu Dongzan thought for a while, and said to Sangbuza: "Li Ke is just a prince, not an emperor. What he means may not be what the emperor means. We don't have to pay too much attention to Li Ke's words. Let's wait until we meet the Tang emperor tomorrow."

Lu Dongzan left from the side hall of the East Palace. After leaving, the Crown Princess Wu Meiniang slowly came out from the back room of the side hall.

"It turns out that this is from Tubo, except that it is a little darker, but it is the same as our Tang people, and there is not much novelty." Wu Meiniang said to Li Ke when she came out.

Li Ke said: "The Tubo people are originally from the Qiang people who migrated from the Western Qiang. Except that their habits are different from our Tang people, there is nothing else."

It turned out that Wu Meiniang had never seen a Tubo person before, and she was curious, so when Li Ke received Lu Dongzan, she hid in the side hall and waited and waited until Lu Dongzan left.

Li Ke asked Wu Meiniang: "You have been watching in the hall for a long time, what did Meiniang think of what happened just now?"

Wu Meiniang joked: "I don't know about other Meiniangs, but just looking at the gifts they gave, I don't know much about Sanlang's preferences. If they ask Sanlang for something, they should do their homework earlier. Isn't it better to give beauty than to give money?" How are you here?"

Li Ke replied with a smile: "They come here from thousands of miles away, they are full of travel and dust, where did they bring the beauties, not to mention that no one in the world knows that the Crown Princess Mei Niang is born with stunning beauty, and this palace doesn't like others, who would dare to put people in the East Palace? "

The children of the Tang clan, whether they are princes or county kings, all adult kings have wives and concubines in groups, but Li Ke is the only one. Ke's Dan'er, Wu Meiniang and Li Ke have never accepted an outsider since they got married.

Wu Meiniang listened to Li Ke's words, the smile on her face became heavier, and she said to Li Ke: "Sanlang just did a very good job. The Tibetan wolf is ambitious. If he can invade my Tang once, he can invade the second time. Trouble, keep your tongue, Saburo is right not to have a deep friendship with them."

Li Ke said: "What Mei Niang said is exactly what I thought. Tubo tigers occupy the southwest and annex all the countries on the plateau. After he has a little more wings, he will fight my Tang Dynasty sooner or later. It is really inappropriate to have a close friendship with them."

When Wu Meiniang heard the words, she pointed to a box of treasures in the hall, and said to Li Ke in puzzlement: "Since Sanlang intends to alienate the Tubo envoys, why did he accept their things?"

Li Ke walked to the side of the box, knelt down and slowly opened the wooden box in front of him. Sure enough, what caught his eye was a box full of ivory carvings, gold, jade and jewelry, which were dazzling at first glance.If these things were given to other people, they would be ecstatic, but Li Ke and Wu Meiniang had seen too many treasures in the world, so these things were nothing special in their eyes.

Li Ke pointed to this box of jewels and asked Wu Meiniang: "You said that if I hand over this box of jewels to my father, what will my father think of Tubo and Lu Dongzan?"

When Wu Meiniang heard this, she didn't know what Lu Dongzan meant. Li Ke wanted Lu Dongzan to embarrass him in front of Li Shimin.

Wu Meiniang said with a smile: "Just now Sanlang was thinking of recruiting Lu Dongzan to serve in the East Palace, but now he turned around and turned his back on him?"

Li Ke said: "He has rejected me, and he can't be used by me, so why should I take care of him any more?"

Wu Meiniang asked curiously: "Just now Sanlang blocked his mouth about conscripting Lu Dongzan into the East Palace, isn't he afraid that he will take it seriously? How can such an important position as a prince's family order be easily granted to someone who doesn't know?" Deep and shallow Fanbang people."

What Wu Meiniang said is naturally reasonable, the prince's family order is very important, it would be inappropriate to use a foreigner, but Li Ke shook his head when he heard Wu Meiniang's words.

Li Ke said: "What I said about enlisting him is true. Ludong's talent is the best in Tubo, even in the Central Plains. If he is really for my use, why should I cherish a prince's family order, that is, to pay homage to the prime minister in the future?" It's all right."

Li Ke has always been accurate in knowing people, but Wu Meiniang did not expect that Li Ke's comments on Lu Dongzan would be so high, Wu Meiniang said in surprise: "Could it be that in Sanlang's eyes, Lu Dongzan can be compared to Fang and Du Erxiang?"

In fact, Lu Dongzan is a man of both culture and martial arts. Tubo established the country and opened its doors. Whether it is the stability of the court or the southern and northern wars, it all depends on Lu Dongzan. Without Lu Dongzan, there will be no Tubo that can compete with the Tang Dynasty in the future. .

Although Fang and Du are famous ministers in the world, in Li Ke's view, Lu Dong's contribution to Tubo is by no means comparable to that of Fang and Du Zhong. It should be Fang Du, Li Jing, and Changsun Wuji. Yes, but Li Ke would not discuss these things in detail with Wu Meiniang.

Li Ke just smiled and replied, "Maybe."
