bastard seizes tang

Chapter 610
The marriage was rejected, Lu Dongzan had no other thoughts, left Taiji Palace, and went straight back to Honglu Temple.

In the compound where the Tubo mission was housed in Honglu Temple, as soon as Lu Dongzan came back, the deputy envoy of the mission, Sang Buza, rushed to welcome him.

"My lord Dongzan, how about the marriage?" The two countries made peace, and asking Songtsen Gampo to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty was the biggest purpose of their trip, and Lu Dongzan entered the palace this time for this purpose, Sangbu Zha was naturally concerned, and Sang Buza asked immediately when he saw Lu Dongzan.

Lu Dongzan looked at Sangbuza's eager look, shook his head and said, "When I went to the palace to meet the Tang Emperor, the prince Li Ke was there, and the prince actually regarded Zanpu as a fact that he first married Princess Chizun and Concubine Mengsa and then raised troops to destroy the country." Seeing Emperor Tang's face trembling completely, now Emperor Tang is very dissatisfied with us Tubo because of this matter."

Listening to Lu Dongzan's words, Sangbuza became anxious. Ludongzan and Sangbuza knew exactly what Tubo and Datang were trying to get along with each other. If Tanghuang knew about these things, it would be reasonable to be dissatisfied with Tubo In the middle, and the Emperor Tang is already dissatisfied with Tubo, so where should we talk about the marriage?
Sang Buza asked: "Then have you ever explained it clearly to Emperor Tang?"

Lu Dongzan has always been eloquent and eloquent, and he has heard about it in Tubo, otherwise Songtsan Gampo would not have asked Lu Dongzan to be an envoy again and again, and would have entrusted him with such a big matter as asking to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty.

Lu Dongzan looked at Sangbuza's eager expression and felt the same, but he still sighed and said: "The Emperor Tang only listened to the prince and didn't give me a chance to speak up. How can I explain it?"

When Li Shimin talked to Li Ke, he never gave Lu Dongzan a chance to intervene, and when Lu Dongzan said something, the intention of Tubo to propose marriage had already been determined in Li Shimin's heart, even if Lu Dongzan was eloquent and ready All kinds of rhetoric are useless.

Sangbuza said worriedly: "If so, what about the marriage?"

Lu Dongzan frowned and replied: "Even though Emperor Tang didn't expressly refuse, he only said to put aside the discussion for now, but I think what Emperor Tang means, I'm afraid this matter will not come to fruition."

In front of Lu Dongzan, although Li Shimin was quite dissatisfied with Tubo's actions, and Li Shimin himself had long wanted to destroy Tubo, but after all, it was not the time to completely turn against Tubo, so Li Shimin did not directly reject Lu Dongzan. , but said that the matter should be put on hold for the time being, and Li Shimin's so-called putting off the discussion means not discussing it. Since there is no discussion, it is impossible to talk about the marriage.

Sang Buza looked distressed, and asked Lu Dongzan: "If Tang Ting refuses to marry, how can we explain to Zanpu after we return home?"

What Sang Buza said was exactly what Lu Dongzan was worried about. Songtsan Gambo had great expectations for this marriage, and even searched the treasury directly, and gathered more than ten boxes of treasures for Lu Dongzan as a betrothal gift. , but now that it is difficult to get married, is it possible that they have to transport these treasures back again?
From going out of the palace to Honglu Temple, it took more than a stick of incense. How could Lu Dongzan think of a good way in such a short time.

Lu Dong praised: "The previous method will not work. Tang Ting doesn't accept this method at all, so he can only think of another method."

Tubo ran rampant on the plateau. In the past, Tubo couldn't make a marriage proposal, so they forced a large army to force them, and then they could get what they wanted. Last year, Tubo tried to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty. I wanted to do the same trick again, but the Tang Dynasty is not Niboluo. From then on, the Tubo army was repulsed by the Tang army, and Tubo's previous path was naturally impassable.

Sang Buza complained: "I can only hate that the Tang army is powerful, and we are not as powerful as others, otherwise today they would be the Tang people who came to us in Tubo to ask for marriage."

Sangbuza was just complaining, and he didn't care much, but after hearing what Sangbuza said, Lu Dongzan's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered something.

Lu Dongzan said to Sang Buza: "You are right, the two countries are in harmony, why must Zanpu marry the Tang princess? Since the matter of asking to marry the Tang princess is unsuccessful, why don't we marry the Tubo princess to the Tang Dynasty? That’s what it means to be married.”

Lu Dongzan’s words were something that Sangbuza had never thought about before. All Sifang Kingdoms and Datang’s marriage marriages all wanted to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and there had never been anyone who wanted to marry a princess into the Tang Dynasty. It was unexpected.

Sangbuza said: "Zanpu is still in his prime and has no heirs. Where is the princess?"

Songtsan Gampo was one year older than Li Ke, he was already in his twenties, and he had already married a wife, but he had never given birth to an heir, let alone a princess who was old enough to marry.

But Lu Dongzan said: "Although Zanpu doesn't have a princess, the former king did, and the age is just right."

Tubo took office in Zanpu, Songtsen Gampo's father, Langri Songtsan, had two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Datsan Gampo died early, the second son is the current Tubo Zanpu Songtsan Gampo, and Ludongzan The Tubo princess in the mouth is Langri Songtsan's third daughter, Princess Dongjun Langri Linzhi.

Langri Lingzhi is the youngest daughter of Langri Songtsan, who is also loved by her elder brother Songtsan Gampo. Langri Lingzhi was born in the seventh year of Wude, six years younger than Songtsan Gampo, and is just twenty-eight years old, so it is said that Lu Dongzan said that she was just the right age.

After listening to Lu Dongzan's words, Sangbuza also understood what Lu Dongzan meant, but he still said: "Zanpu is much younger than the Tang Emperor, if you marry Princess Dongjun to the Tang Emperor, then how can the Tang Emperor marry her?" If you don’t want to call Zanpu your elder brother, wouldn’t that mess up your seniority, how could the Emperor Tang and the ministers of the Tang court agree to it.”

Lu Dongzan thought for a while, and replied: "It is impossible for a princess to marry the Emperor of Tang, but it is not necessarily necessary to marry the monarch. Li Ke, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, is only twenty-one years old, and he is one year younger than Zanpu. The princess married Li Ke. Isn't Ke just right? Not only is he married to the Tang Dynasty, but also appears to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

Hearing the words, Sangbuza nodded slowly. Now Li Shimin has rejected the request to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty. If he wants to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible. Then the next best thing is to marry the princess of Tubo to the crown prince Li Ke? It's not the same marriage, and Li Ke is the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so the significance is not weak at all.

Sangbuza said: "This is indeed a way. If this can be achieved, we will have an explanation with Zanpu, but I don't know what Zanpu and Tang Ting mean."

Lu Dong praised: "This is the only plan for today. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there will be a ceremony of congratulations from all nations. The Tang emperor must be in a good mood. It is best to propose this matter at that time. We must hurry up before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." Report this to Zampo in advance."

Sang Buza counted the days in his mind, and praised Lu Dong: "Today is still more than a month away from the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. If you move quickly, you should be able to make a round trip."

The distance between Luoxie and Chang'an City is thousands of miles. If a large group of people are on the road, they will naturally not be able to run back and forth, but if they ride lightly on fast horses and rush all the way, it will not be a big problem to come back within a month.

Lu Dongzan immediately said: "Okay, Sairu Gongdun is very good at bowing horses, so let him go and ask Zanpu about this matter face to face."
