Zhenguan's prosperity and fame

Chapter 244 Visiting at home, begging for favors

"Please inform me, Foreign Minister Lu Dongzan, please see Zhao Guogong!"

Outside Zhao Guogong's eldest Sun Wuji's mansion, Lu Dongzan came with a gift.

The steward reciprocated and then led him into the mansion, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

For example, Du Ruhui, Duke of Lai State, and Fang Xuanling, Duke of Liang State, he had already been there, and the other party refused to see them at all, and they were not even allowed to enter.

The servants drove them away with a look of disgust, completely treating them as plague gods.

"Thank you!"

Lu Dongzan didn't dare to look down on the steward of the Duke's mansion, and after thanking him, he handed over a piece of silver to the other party.

The steward's expression did not change, and it was in the bag.

"Your envoy, please, my master invites you to the side hall."

"Please lead the way."

Entering the hall, Lu Dongzan hurriedly saluted, "Foreign ministers pay homage to Zhao Guogong!"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "There is no need to be too polite, the envoy please sit down."

"Thank you Duke Zhao!"

After taking his seat, Lu Dongzan hurriedly asked someone to carry over the box he had prepared in advance. There were countless gold and silver treasures in it. As long as Zhao Guogong could help him, the loss would be worth it!
"You don't get rewarded for your merits, so I don't know what the envoys mean when they come here?"

Changsun Wuji was not blinded by the heavy gift. Compared with the heavy box, he was more curious about what the Tubo envoy would say when he came to find him.

Lu Dong praised with a smile: "This is a small gift, just to express my heart. The foreign ministers have long heard that Zhao Guogong is His Majesty's right-hand man, who has both ability and political integrity, as well as both civil and military skills. Seeing him today is really extraordinary, and people can't help being in awe."

Wear a thousand clothes, don't flatter yourself!
Not to mention, Changsun Wuji was really amused.

"Your emissary is joking, but if you have something to say, if the old man can help, feel free to speak up."

However, the old fox is always an old fox, and he never mentioned the word "certainly" at all.

Everyone is smart, and Lu Dongzan didn't intend to hide it. He knew very well that he was far behind the Dukes like Datang when it came to his thoughts.

"Mr. Zhao Guo didn't know that I came to Beijing this time with the intention of Tubo Zanpu. I intended to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty and repair the friendship between the two countries. But now I am the king of Qin. Alas, I really don't know how to explain to Zanpu after I go back."

Changsun Wuji's pupils narrowed slightly, "I don't know, what can I do for you?"

Lu Dongzan hurriedly got up and respectfully said: "I also invite Zhao Guogong to speak a few words of kindness for Tubo Zanpu in the court hall. Tubo only wants to make friends with the Tang Dynasty, and it is definitely not a wolf with ambition!"

Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and said with a smile, "That's all?"

"Of course!"

What Lu Dongzan said was categorical, it seemed that he just wanted to marry the princess.

As for the others, he didn't dare to mention them indiscriminately, in case people refused to agree, it would cause him some trouble for nothing.

"Since that's the case, it's easy to say, but your envoys know that it's hard for one person to accomplish anything. If I want the old man to order hundreds of officials, and go to Zanpu to ask for marriage for you, it seems that it is not polite enough?"

Lu Dongzan heaved a sigh of relief, and it's easy to say if he agreed, but how much will it cost?

Don't worry, when the princess gets married, she can always get it back from the dowry.

"Mr. Zhao is joking. Please rest assured. I have communicated with many courtiers. When I return to the court in a few days, as long as Mr. Zhao speaks a few words, Tubo will be very grateful!"

Changsun Wuji is the master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, how can it be possible to just be fooled like this.

After receiving the gift, you have to do things, but you can't be a fool by yourself.

"Your envoy was joking. If you don't make it clear, I'm a little afraid to accept it at the moment. After all, I'm old. Now I just want to live a stable life for a few days. When I turn around and hand over the booklet, I will be left with a duke." the title of honor."

Lu Dongzan's heart is not good, isn't this a duck with its mouth full?
After finally getting a leader, he wants to take advantage of his reputation to win over a few more!

"Duke Zhao is worrying too much. Lu Dongzan is definitely not a reckless person. How could he choose to push Mr. Guo to the front?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and shook his head, "I'm not worried about being used as a sword by you, but I'm worried about His Royal Highness King Qin."

As soon as this incident was mentioned, Lu Dongzan and the others turned dark in an instant, that man was simply their nemesis.

"Mr. Zhao, Lu Dongzan is unclear about one thing."

"Excuse me."

"Before coming, Lu Dongzan found out clearly that the King of Qin is not favored by His Majesty today. Why are the officials of the Tang Dynasty so afraid of him? Even Zhao Guogong, you don't want to have a bad relationship with him?"

Changsun Wuji looked slightly disgusted, "I really don't know who told you this news. Do you know how much the King of Qin has done for my Tang Dynasty? All the officials are not afraid, but feel ashamed."

"Oh? I'm ashamed? I only heard that King Qin had outstanding military exploits, but I really don't know what he did for the Tang Dynasty, but because of the side concubine of King Qin?"

Changsun Wuji sneered, "Of course you don't know. Most of the courtiers don't know. Those who really know will never touch King Qin's bad luck. As long as King Qin doesn't rebel, there will be no one in Chang'an." Dare to harm him!"

"It's possible to act so domineeringly, isn't it wrong?"

"Wrong? Lord Qin's killing and attacking, why is it wrong? Even if he disrespects the old man today, the old man will bear it. The merit is far greater than the fault, who dares to say that the King of Qin is wrong?"

That's right, Qin Wang Gong is too high, Li Shimin who is so high sometimes needs to think twice, how should he treat him?

Provide for it?Besides this, is there any other way?
With both civil and military skills, who would dare to destroy such a talented person who mounts a horse to take command and dismounts to rule the country?

It's just that people are taboo about their high skills nowadays, and all the officials have a steelyard in their hearts. Although it is against their will to say it, they all respect the King of Qin.They like to hear and see that they do something that will harm the prestige of King Qin, but if anyone wants King Qin's order, no one will dare to agree to it!
"Lu Dongzan doesn't understand, but Tubo has no second thoughts about the Tang Dynasty, so I invite Zhao Guogong to learn from him!"

Changsun Wuji saw that the other party knew each other, put away the anger on his face before, and said in a low voice: "You just need to know that King Qin and my Tang Dynasty are extremely important, even more important than Tubo. Court, you can also bring another ten thousand people into Tubo territory!"

"Yes!"

Lu Dongzan hastily straightened his body, not daring to speak nonsense anymore, and a wrong word from the King of Qin actually angered Zhao Guogong.

"Take your things, let's go, I can't entertain you here!"

"Zhao Guogong, don't"

There is only one chance, but unfortunately the other party is not willing to seize it.

After driving him out of the mansion, Changsun Wuji went around to the back door and drove towards the palace in a carriage.

After Miansheng, the first sentence was, "Your Majesty, the Tubo envoy has a different heart!"

Li Shimin sneered and said, "What's the matter, did you go to your house to give gifts again today?"

Changsun Wuji nodded in agreement, and replied: "There must be a plan for sending a heavy gift, and the veteran dare not accept it. What's more, the other party obviously intends to provoke the veteran and wants to oppose the King of Qin!"

Li Shimin felt a little bored, waved his hand and said: "Wait a few more days, I also want to know what they want to do! If they give you another gift next time, you can accept it."

"Yes, the old minister understands."

"Well, how's Chong'er doing recently?"

Seeing that Li Shimin cared about his eldest son, the tension in Changsun Wuji's heart eased slightly, and he said with a smile, "I follow Mr. all day long, and I have memorized all the four books and five classics. I can't compare with Huaiyu and Zhewei."

As far as the full length of An Guogong is concerned, Qin Qiong and Chai Shao are the most envious.

It is a sign of His Majesty's favor to have a successor, and to have a Marquis at such a young age!
In the future, even if the position of Duke is not there, relying on the Marquis will be enough to protect his heirs for a hundred years without any worries.
