Datang: Picking up a little Si Zi and accidentally admitting his kinship with blood?

Chapter 41 The envoy meets!Asking to marry the princess!
Near the imperial city of Chang'an City, in a palace used to house foreign envoys.

"Damn Guli, why haven't you come back for so long?" Tatu said with a dark face while sitting at the bottom.

Above, Lu Dongzan frowned tightly. It was already midnight and he had not heard any news from Gu Li. He had a bad feeling in his heart.

"This matter must not be made public. If King Tang knows about it, it will be difficult to complete what Zanpu has entrusted to us this time."

Lu Dongzan said in a deep voice.

As Songtsan Gampo's first-class minister, Ludongzan knew Zangpu's thoughts and the purpose of coming to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty.

Marry a princess?
It is just a channel to express worship.

At present, the Tibetan government is unified, and the country is full of wastes waiting to be renovated. What Songtsan Gampo needs more is the technology and craftsmen from the Tang Dynasty, as well as various cotton and linen seed crops.

Only in this way can we rapidly develop our national strength. Otherwise, among the complex forces of the Western Region countries, without strong strength, it would be difficult to guarantee safety.

"Then what should we do?" Tatu asked in a deep voice.

Gu Li left the team privately, and both of them knew what he was going to do, and there was no way they could talk about it.

Lu Dongzan shook his head and said: "Ignore him for now. I hope this guy doesn't cause any trouble. Otherwise, we are all responsible for affecting Zanpu's affairs. Everything will focus on tomorrow's morning meeting."

"It's getting late. Let's go and have some rest. We can talk about anything later after meeting with Prince Tang tomorrow."

After hearing this, Tatu respectfully said yes and went back to the house to sleep.

……

The second day, early in the morning.

In the Tai Chi Hall of the Imperial City, hundreds of civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty were lined up on the left and right sides, with serious expressions.

Not long after, Li Er took his eldest grandson Wugou up to the high platform and sat on the dragon chair.

Looking at the ministers below, everyone saluted above and said respectfully: "We see your majesty. May your majesty be safe!"

Li Er nodded slightly and said: "My dear friends, please excuse me. Where is the Tubo envoy?"

Changsun Wuji stood up from the side and saluted: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Tibetan envoy, Prime Minister Lu Dongzan and Minister Tatu are waiting outside the door, waiting to see them."

"Show them in!"

"Yes!"

Soon, Lu Dongzan and Tatu, dressed in Tibetan costumes, walked into the Taiji Hall hand in hand. When they got to the front, they performed a ritual unique to the Western Regions towards Li Er: "The Prime Minister of Tubo, Lu Dongzan, has been ordered by Zanpu to pay homage to Tang Dynasty." Your Majesty, your Majesty, be safe!"

"The Tubo Minister Tatu pays homage to His Majesty the King of Tang. May your Majesty be safe!"

Li Er looked at the two of them, stayed on Lu Dongzan for a moment, and said with a smile: "Songtsen Gampo Zampu is so polite, you two can forgive me!" Lu Dongzan then raised his head and looked at the King of Tang Dynasty. When Li Er saw the eldest grandson Wugu next to Li Er again, he suddenly felt familiar.

This is the Queen's eldest grandson Wugu. Why does he look familiar?

But at this moment, Lu Dongzan did not think too much, but continued to say respectfully: "Your Majesty the King of Tang, Zanpu has sent us as envoys to the Tang Dynasty to present my unique treasures of Tibet, and please ask the King of Tang to see them!"

"Spices from the Western Regions...Agate...Night Pearl..."

Not long after, several followers behind Lu Dongzan were announced into the Tai Chi Hall, each holding a large plate with various specialties from the Western Regions in their hands.

The ministers also looked over. These were rare things in the Tang Dynasty, and even they rarely saw them.

Li Er smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Zanpu is interested. When you go back this time, thank you Zanpu for me."

Changsun Wugou kept staring at Lu Dongzan and Tatu, especially when he saw that Gu Li didn't show up, he felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

Seeing that Li Er seemed to be very happy, Lu Dongzan felt reassured and saluted again, saying: "Your Majesty, our country Zanpu greatly respects the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and even worships His Majesty the King of Tang Dynasty. This time we are sent to visit him. Your Majesty, King Tang, I have one more thing to ask of you."

The main event is coming!
The officials below, those who knew about it, such as Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and others, turned their heads one by one at this time and looked at Lu Dongzan with inexplicable eyes.

Sure enough, it is impossible for Tubo to come for no reason and show such a low profile when they arrive.

Both offering treasures and praising him must have other motives.

Hearing this, Li Er pretended not to know and asked, "Oh, you can tell me if you have anything to say. As long as it doesn't embarrass me, everything is easy to tell."

The expression on his face remained the same, but Li Er was already sneering in his heart.

Sure enough, this Tubo is still evil-minded.

I have already written a reply rejecting his request, but I didn’t expect that I would mention this matter during my audience with him.

Lu Dongzan didn't know what happened during this period, so he continued to speak at this moment: "It is said that the women of the Tang Dynasty are virtuous and clever, and the children of His Majesty the King of Tang are even more first-class people. Zanpu hopes to marry a princess back home , to forge a lasting friendship between the two countries, and I also ask His Majesty the King of Tang for permission."

Marry a princess?

Changsun Wuji and others secretly thought that indeed, Songtsen Gampo had made a good plan.

If His Majesty hadn't already known Songtsen Gampo's little thoughts, he would have directly agreed to this request.

"This is interesting. Both of my daughters are not of marriageable age. Besides, your Zanpu proposed to me, shouldn't you come to Chang'an in person?"

On the dragon chair, Li Er smiled slightly and said lightly.
