Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 295 Playing Music
Lun Yan came in this tense and intense atmosphere, first he looked at Chidu Zanpu and smiled.

Shen Sanwen felt embarrassed at the side.

It can be said that Tubo is today thanks to Qinling and his son. Although Qinling is now a real powerful minister, is it really okay to make a fuss?Besides, Lun Yan is not a very powerful character, so finding such an opponent for Qin Ling, whose IQ is he insulting?

It's okay, he belongs to the Great Zhou, calm down, disunity within Tubo is good for him.

The three of them sat down, and then Zanpu asked Shen San who was next to him, "Why is the envoy here?"

Shen San asked with a faint smile, "I heard that Tubo Zanpu is young and promising, and intends to make friends with Da Zhou, so I came here to negotiate."

Chi replied casually without hesitation, "Da Zhou and Tubo signed a peace agreement in the early years. The envoys don't need to worry. Tubo loses troops and will be unable to compete for the Western Regions. Don't Da Zhou feel relieved? Speaking of which, Da Zhou also thanks Lun Qinling, brother."

As he spoke, he glanced at Lun Qinling meaningfully, and Lun Yan laughed together.

Qinling drank and ate vegetables calmly. These two idiots didn't know who they were facing, so they just spouted nonsense here. What's the use of talking and talking, Tubo still has the final say.

Shen Sanwen admired Qin Ling's indifference, and understood that this Zanpu is still a show.

However, flower shelves are also useful for flower shelves, Shen San asked and said. "The ancestors of the Western Regions have been operating for a long time, and the Holy One can't bear to ruin the foundation of the ancestors. It is a pity to hurt the friendship with Tubo."

Chidu laughed and said, "My father married Princess Wencheng, and he had a family with the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty and Tubo had the rites of a son-in-law. These disputes are trivial matters. I don't know when Ben Zanpu will have such a relationship with the Great Zhou." I heard that the daughter of the King of Luling looks like a fairy, so I would like to ask the envoy to convey to Da Zhou His Majesty Ben Zanpu's desire to befriend Da Zhou."

Shen San asked with a sneer, the current weather and conditions in Tubo, that great Zhou nobleman is willing to marry a daughter to come over, and still thinks about the granddaughter of His Majesty today, it's abominable.

Lun Qinling hurriedly stood up and toasted Shen Sanwen to make amends, asking him to forgive Zanpu for his rash remarks.Today's Tubo is no longer what it was when Songtsan Gampo was there, with strong soldiers and strong horses, dominating the plateau.The Great Zhou even rejected Tubo in the west and conquered the Turks in the north. Isn't it seeking abuse to compete with it at this time?

Shen Sanwen drank the wine toasted by Qinling, and tentatively said, "I heard that the envoys from other countries came from Tubo earlier, I don't know where they are from?"

Lun Qinling said calmly, "The envoy misunderstood, Tubo is high and cold, and it is not the season for envoys now. Occasionally, Neporo nobles visit, which is slightly different from Tubo."

Even though he said so, Shen Sanwen still saw the shock flashing across Chidu's face, it seemed that the envoy of Dashi had indeed arrived.

Shen San asked no more probing, and asked directly, "Now there is an army in the Western Regions, displaying the frontier, not coming all the way from the desert, but passing through Tubo, I wonder if Zanpu and Lunqinling know?"

Just as Chidu was about to speak, Lun Qinling directly stopped him, "It's a taboo for military strategists to use excuses to march, and Tubo is definitely not a place where other countries' troops can set foot. Envoys should worry too much."

Chi Du was dissatisfied and snorted, obviously wanting to say something else, but Lun Qinling stopped him directly, "Zanpu is so tired today, why don't he rest earlier."

Chi Du considered for a moment, and then left after saying goodbye to Shen San, obviously not planning to confront Lun Qinling directly.

Shen Sanwen glanced at Lun Qinling, he was so domineering, he didn't deserve to die.

Unconsciously, Lun Qinling introduced the features of Tubo and his admiration for Zhou, expressing his friendship.

Shen Sanwen listened without saying a word. Now they should have started to negotiate terms, but they haven't settled yet.Otherwise, there is no need for Lun Qinling to attach so much importance to the envoy Zhou. The old fox wants to use him to suppress the Arab envoys. If the talks fail, he still wants to make amends on his side.

However, there is no evidence now, and if Lun Qinling denies everything, he can't say anything.

Let Lun Qinling take the initiative to speak, whoever takes the initiative will be controlled by others first.

Maybe I have to talk to Xia Zanpu, the Tubo management will have to change sooner or later.

The meal was even more boring.

After leaving the banquet and returning to the embassy, ​​he actually saw Lun Yan!

come well.

Shen San asked Lun Yan, who was harmless to humans and animals, and smiled, "What advice does Zanpu have?"

Lun Yan saluted Shen Sanwen, full of flattery, and Shen Sanwen immediately began to complain about Lun Qinling again.

Lun Yan said, "Zanpu wants to negotiate a deal with the envoy. The envoy of Dashi has been here for three days, and Lun Qinling is arguing endlessly with him on the issue of ownership of the Western Regions, and Zanpu is also in a difficult situation."

Shen Sanwen had already expected this result, "Since Zanpu can't make a decision, wouldn't it be more appropriate for me to talk to Lun Qinling?"

Lun Yan said with a smile, "The envoy was joking. Lun Qinling only wants to make profits in the Western Regions. Dashi is not sure of winning the battle against Dazhou. In order to win over Tubo, he will definitely agree to his terms."

Shen San asked: "I don't think so. If he has the right to decide, he won't argue for three days. The matter is still pending."

This time, Lun Yan replied neither humble nor overbearing, "So, the envoy can decide the affairs of the Great Zhou? I heard that your Majesty the Empress has a strong grip on the military power. Which king and general on the Tubo border may not listen to you."

Shen San asked for some thought, "Does Lunyan think that at this moment, Her Majesty the Empress sent me to visit Tubo? The order from Her Majesty the Empress is that if Tubo stays out of the matter, the friendship between husband and wife will no longer exist. If Tubo colluded with Dashi to plot the Western Regions, Dazhou would fight on two fronts to eliminate the troubles in the West forever."

Lun Yan was startled, which meant that it was not enough for Tubo to stay out of the matter, "Tubo had already been injured in the last battle. Unless Dazhou was willing to help Tubo recover, Zanpu would not be able to explain to the Tubo people. To be honest, the Arab dispatched The person who came was a prince with the right to inherit, within two days, Lun Qinling will definitely be able to settle the matter."

"What exactly is Dashi's request, and what is Lun Qinling's condition?" Shen San asked a little curiously, Lun Qinling is definitely not willing to suffer, what kind of request can make the Arabs have a headache for so long.

Lun Yan was stunned for a moment, "This, without Zanpu's instruction, Lunyan can't disclose it. But Zanpu's condition is very simple, as long as Dazhou gives Tubo food for five years like supplying food to Turks, Tubo is willing to help Da Zhou defends the Western Regions."

Shen Sanwen sneered in his heart, five years of food is easy to say, Turkic is now the territory of the Great Zhou, and the Turkic subjects are members of the Great Zhou, and it has been a tradition since ancient times for a family to help each other, but why does Tubo ask for food? Year.

As for assisting in the defense, I'm afraid it's just a promise to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Just relying on the geographical location to stay out of the matter and ask for food for five years, are you embarrassed?

Moreover, isn't this breeding tigers?Talking about such conditions, His Majesty the Emperor can spray him to death with saliva when he goes back.

Shen San asked with a light smile, "Lun Yan was joking, Tubo is a great neighbor of the Zhou Dynasty, and it is the tradition of the state of etiquette in the Shang Kingdom to help each other."

Lun Yan was overjoyed, "If the envoy is willing to enter into a treaty of friendship with Tubo, Zanpu must keep his promise, drive the big cannibal out of the country immediately, and help Da Zhou to protect the Western Regions from falling into his hands."

Shen San asked: "Lunyan is joking again. Now all major issues in Tubo are determined by Lunqinling. Even if Zanpu agrees, I am afraid that this matter still needs to be discussed. Besides, at half past one on Monday, we will not be able to come up with a five-year agreement." Food and helping each other is a tradition, but there is no reason for the hungry people to help their neighbors."

Lun Yan immediately became nervous, "The Zanpu family is a family blessed by the gods of Tubo. Lun Qinling is just arrogant for a while. Sooner or later, Lun Qinling will return to Zanpu. Tubo's conditions are not too much."

Shen Sanwen didn't want to say more, "Then when Zanpu is in charge, I will definitely come to congratulate you again."

Do you think it's easy for him to talk because it's hard for a cannibal to talk?
Sending Lunyan away, Shen Sanwen began to think, where did Lunyan get the confidence to say that it can guarantee that the big cannibal will not win the Western Regions, and whether Lunqinling's last attack left any behind.However, Tubo is short of food, and the food is far away from the water but not close to the fire, and the Western Regions are not a place that produces food.Once a war starts, food and grass will become the key to victory.

If the trade between the two sides is restricted and the supply of grain in Dazhou is sufficient, this battle will definitely be won.

Just a matter of time.

Tubo is obviously unwilling to offend Dazhou prematurely because of this.

Shen Sanwen didn't intend to wait for their negotiation to end, he wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible.

After Lunyan left, the official in charge of the reception in Tubo entered the door and asked, "Did Lunyan disturb the envoy to rest, and the envoy should ignore him."

Shen San asked with a chuckle, "Don't worry, he just came to ask about the prosperity of Da Zhou, so you don't have to worry. But if your master thinks it's your negligence, it will be difficult to handle."

The receptionist panicked immediately, "I have neglected my duty, please forgive me."

Shen San asked again: "Perhaps Lun Qinling doesn't care about these things, but after coming here for so long, you didn't intend to entertain me well? I'm getting bored, let's prepare some singing and dancing."

The receptionist breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, the envoy, I will order people to prepare."

Shen Sanwen added, "The more musical instruments the better, I like to listen to big ensembles."

The receptionist also specially called many dancing girls. The Tubo singing and dancing had a special flavor, but the Tubo people's skin was slightly dark, and their thick eyebrows and big eyes did not meet Shen Sanwen's aesthetics. The language is not gorgeous enough, and a little dull.

After a reprimand, Shen Sanwen scolded the singer away and quietly enjoyed Tubo's music.In the end, he also personally played every instrument, and he knows a little bit about silk and bamboo orchestra.

In the end, he chose a stringed instrument similar to the erhu. This instrument is nothing special, but the sound is loud enough and clear.

"I want this thing, how much is it?"

The receptionist was very pleased with his satisfaction, "As long as the envoy likes it, let's treat it as a gift from Tubo to the distinguished guests of Dazhou."

Shen San asked, "Then I will play a piece of music as a gift, go, take me to the Tibetan market, I will play in a lively place, so that everyone can hear my music."

The receptionist hesitated for a while. I heard that the food envoys have been shopping at the market for the past few days. It seems that today is not over yet, but it will not be such a coincidence.

Shen Sanwen immediately pretended to be angry and stared at him, "Why, can't it?"

The receptionist replied with trepidation, "No, no, it's just that the market is messy and not worthy of your status."

Shen San asked with a smile, "Let's go, Da Zhou pays attention to having fun with the people, and the delicious and fun things should be shared with the people. This kind of thinking is not good."

When they arrived at the market, the receptionist stood aside all the time. Shen Sanwen played the tune by himself in the center of the market, from unfamiliarity to proficiency, the better he played.

At this time, the servant of the Arabian prince who was going out to play happened to hear this piece of music. The servant was pleasantly surprised that someone in a place far away from Allah, such as Tubo, was familiar with this tune. Since the expedition, he had never heard it again.

The happy servant immediately reported the news to the prince, "I just heard the church music in the market, it is the tune of an instrument I have never heard before."

I originally planned to buy some Tibetan specialties at the end of the day, so I would never come to this boring market again, and I had a pleasant surprise.

The prince was also very happy, there were actually believers of Allah here, "Go, take me to see."

Shen Sanwen played the music non-stop, his arms were numb, but after a long time, no one came over!

The nearby Tubo residents don't like the tone of his song, especially the Tubo nobles. When they pass by, they cover their ears to show their dislike. Even if the host stands aside, they don't shy away from it.

Shen San asked why the big cannibal didn't come yet, but the people he brought didn't know how to pull strings like this.

Shen San asked about the time of the stop, and the receptionist hurriedly stepped forward to praise, "The envoy is really amazing, are these sounds of nature the music of Da Zhou?"

From his smile, Shen Sanwen could tell that he was thinking in his heart, do people in Dazhou listen to this kind of stuff? It's really ugly.

Shen Sanwen snorted coldly, shook his numb arm, continued to play, and replied, "If you insult this song again, do you believe you will be killed?"

You must know that people with religious beliefs are somewhat repelled by heretics, thinking that they are people who have been abandoned by the gods or who have given up on themselves.You also insult other people's beliefs. The most noble thing in your heart is related to your desperate heart. Believe it or not.

Hearing what he said, the receptionist had no choice but to keep silent, and to give a compliment in good intentions, even if he didn't appreciate it, but threatened.

He seemed to have forgotten what he had thought before.

After waiting for a while, he saw some strange-looking people in the crowd.

Prince Dashi took a step forward, made a standard cross on his chest, and said, "Hello".

Finally he could stop playing this thing, Shen Sanwen happily put down the instrument, bowed the sign of the cross, "Hello".

He played a piece of music familiar to the big cannibals, a hymn of a certain religion, and he was worried that the big cannibals at the same time in the Great Zhou

Can't understand.

Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The prince stepped forward happily, "May I ask if you played the music just now? Where are you from?"

The receptionist recognized the visitor, and he felt suicidal. This market is as big as a city, so this prince has no choice but to come here!
Shen San asked for a while, "Jerusalem."

It seems to be called such a name.

The prince stepped forward immediately, holding Shen Sanwen's shoulder, "My God, you are from the holy city!"

Shen, expressionless, asked three times and took a step back, "Yes, in order to bathe the vast oriental world in the light of holiness, holiness, and God, I traveled thousands of miles to preach here, hoping that one day they will believe in the almighty God. Father, the Creator of heaven and earth, love the Lord with all your heart."

　Shen San asked: I haven't seen what the recommendation ticket looks like for a long time, and it has been gradually forgotten by readers, huh.
