Datang: Married Princess Changle at the beginning

Page 603

"Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for Datang, and deliberately provoking Datang? I think you can consider asking Datang again!"

Lu Dongzan said in a deep voice.

This person had been to Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty when the Allied Forces of the Four Nations were in power.

At that time, he also made a lot of limelight in Datang, which was praised by Yang Fei.

Now that I have been back in Tubo for a long time, I deliberately settled down again, looking more restrained than before.

"Propose again?" Songtsan Gampo frowned and said in a deep voice.

He was very dissatisfied when his marriage proposal was rejected last time.

Now he has to ask Datang again to marry him, which makes him not very happy.

"Yes, the advantages of marrying Datang outweigh the disadvantages."

"If Datang and the 36 countries of the Western Regions win against Xue Yantuo, it means that we, Tubo, are not Datang's opponents. For the sake of marriage, we will not target us too much against Tubo."

"If we lose, with our terrain and our strength, we don't have to pay too much attention to the countries of Xue Yantuo, why not do it?"

Lu Dongzan smiled and said.

He is the Prime Minister of Tubo, No.1 under Ganbu.

All the ministers present must listen carefully to what you say.

"The marriage proposal was rejected last time, and the marriage proposal may also be rejected this time. Has the Prime Minister thought it through?"

"When the time comes, it will be rejected, and it will be our Tubo Kingdom who will lose face."

A minister interrupted, who was Lu Dongzan's political opponent.

"It's better to lose face than to be targeted by Datang."

"Besides, we have asked Datang for marriage several times in a row. Perhaps the Emperor of Datang was moved by our sincerity and agreed?"

Lu Dongzan said in a deep voice.

Lu Dongzan hadn't thought about being rejected again.

But in the face of the increasingly powerful Datang, being rejected to propose marriage is nothing more than a small matter of face.

If it succeeds, at least he can get close to Datang to a large extent.

However, what Lu Dongzan considered was not what all the ministers of Tubo considered.

Thinking of something that would be embarrassing, many ministers objected, saying that they would have an in-depth discussion.

All of a sudden, there was a commotion in the court.

"Okay, this matter will be done according to the Prime Minister's instructions."

"Lu Dongzan, this time you still have to work hard to go to the Tang Dynasty. We will discuss the specific situation in detail after the court is over."

Songtsan Gampo looked at the ministers below one by one, who looked like aunts buying vegetables in the vegetable market, and his mood immediately became bad.

He stopped the ministers from making noise and agreed to Lu Dongzan's proposal.

There is no way, Songtsan Gampo is willing to lose face if he can get peace in Tubo by losing that little face.

"Ganbu Shengming!"

Lu Dongzan and others saluted.

……

More than half a month later.

The mission led by Lu Dongzan came to Chang'an City again.

Above the imperial court, Yang Fei and others are going to court, discussing national construction.

Coincidentally, the Tubo mission met them in this way.

"Lu Dongzan, envoy of Tubo, pays homage to His Majesty Tian Khan."

Lu Dongzan respectfully saluted Li Er on the Dragon Throne.

"Free gift!"

"Why did the envoy visit Datang this time?" Li Er said with a smile.

In the past few days, many neighboring countries have written letters to express their hearts, saying that they will never violate Datang.

Li Er can more or less guess what Lu Dongzan said came from here.

Looking at Lu Dongzan below and Yang Fei standing in front of the officials, Li Er was in a very good mood.

"Report to His Majesty Khan."

"I, Wang Songtsan Gampo, respect the culture of the Tang Dynasty and like the women of the Tang Dynasty."

"I am specially asked to bring you a precious gift, and solemnly ask His Majesty Tian Khan to marry a princess, please allow His Majesty Tian Khan." Lu Dongzan said respectfully.

The gifts brought this time are many times more than last time.

However, gifts were not allowed to be brought into the court and were kept outside for safekeeping.

"Is the messenger joking?"

"My Tang Dynasty women don't marry outsiders, I made it clear last time." Li Er said in a deep voice.

It has become a national policy of the Tang Dynasty not to make peace with each other.

It was listed by Li Er as the iron law that every emperor must abide by.

"Your Majesty Tian Khan, we don't have to marry the princess, we can marry others."

"Our two countries are married, and Tubo is willing to give a lot of tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year, and have a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty for generations." Lu Dongzan said flatteringly.

When he came, he expected to encounter such a situation.

But these things can be discussed, as long as it is in the interests of Datang, then they can be discussed.

Coupled with the tribute from Tubo, the recognition of Datang as the eldest brother in a disguised form, I think Datang will give me a chance.

"Pay tribute every year, and make good friends with the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Er said in a deep voice, looking at the minister below, and finally fell on Yang Fei.

It seems that it is not impossible to marry a random woman and get the tribute from Tubo every year.

Chapter 657 I Can't Propose Marriage, Let's Make Marriage

Dear friends, what do you think? "Li Er asked with a smile.

He didn't think it was impossible.

The main reason is that Datang gained more benefits.

Just find a good-looking woman and give her a title to marry her.

From then on, not only can he receive tribute from Tubo, but he also has reasons to intervene in Tubo's affairs.

"I think this is okay."

Changsun Wuji was the first to stand up.

He felt that it was possible to subdue the enemy without fighting, and it was in the interests of Datang.

And he also saw Li Er's inner thoughts, so he also expressed his own thoughts.

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Many ministers below are seconded.

"Yang Fei, what do you think?" Li Er smiled at Yang Fei and said.

Seeing that Yang Fei didn't speak the whole time, he frowned and asked specifically.

For a while, the discussions above the court gradually quieted down, and they all looked at Yang Fei.

Lu Dongzan was even more taken aback, and looked at Yang Fei with a flattering smile, feeling extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

The last time he rejected Tubo's proposal was a marriage proposal, Yang Fei immediately rejected it decisively.

This time he didn't dare to talk about getting married, but he was still worried that he would be rejected by Yang Fei.

In Datang, besides Li Er, Yang Fei was the person he feared the most.

"Why do you want to marry?"

"Your Majesty, work harder. Wouldn't it be better to marry a Tubo princess and other conditions remain the same?" Yang Fei said with a chuckle.

As soon as the words fell, the audience was silent.

Datang never seemed to have thought of marrying a king or princess.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, women were mostly married off in the form of marriage or other reasons.

It has never happened to marry women from other countries.

This may be because the Han people have been proud since ancient times, and it is possible that they would not marry those barbarian women.

Therefore, after Yang Fei spoke, the faces of the ministers present all had strange expressions.

"How can a barbarian's daughter marry our emperor?"

"No, this is absolutely not acceptable, I think it violates ethics."

An old official in the court blushed a little and objected to what Yang Fei said.

In his opinion, his own emperor is aloof, and marrying those barbarian princesses is a self-deprecation.

It is absolutely impossible!

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Many ministers objected.

Lu Dongzan, who was standing among the ministers, had an extremely ugly expression on his face.

It is a lie to say that you are not angry if you are called a barbarian to your face.

But in the face of the high-level officials of the entire Tang Dynasty, he pretended not to hear it.

"Quiet!"

"The goal of Datang is the world, the whole world."

"The Tang Dynasty should be inclusive of all rivers and rivers, so what if you marry a woman from another country? By then, it won't be our territory in the Tang Dynasty?"

Yang Fei spoke solemnly.

The calm voice resounded above the hall.

Especially the last sentence, the ministers present were so deafening that they almost forgot to think.

Datang should embrace all rivers!

The territory of other countries will also belong to Datang!

With such ambition, the ministers present were so excited that their breaths became short of breath.

However, compared to the excitement of the crowd, Lu Dongzan, who lowered his head, had a cold look in his eyes.

He thought to himself that Datang was indeed a wolf's ambition, thinking that one day he would annex the land of Tubo.

But...with me here, Datang's thoughts would never come to pass!

"Hanwang Highness, we Tubo have never thought of marrying a princess." Lu Dongzan said with a half-smile.

The purpose of his visit this time is to ask Datang to marry the princess.

Even if she is not a real princess, as long as she has a title.
