"In addition, there is another happy event in Tubo, hoping to get the permission of Tian Khan." Ludong Zan breathed a sigh of relief, which mentioned another purpose of this trip.
"Go ahead!" Li Shimin said in a loud voice.
"Tubo Zanpu Songzanganbu has always been eager to have the pure love of mohou and Princess Changle. She accidentally saved a Tang woman and fell in love at first sight. However, this Tang woman, Princess Wen, is the daughter of a merchant. She has low self-esteem and thinks she is not worthy of Zanpu. The foreign Minister begged her majesty to give Princess Wen a false name so that the lovers can get married and become a good marriage between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo Lu Dongzan's love story between Song Zan Ganbu and wen'er was exaggerated with both voice and emotion, and immediately won a lot of favor in the hearts of all the ministers. The king of a country even loved the daughter of the merchant of the Tang Dynasty, which made all the ministers feel a little more fond of Tubo.
Merton had to lament that Songzan Ganbu's move took seconds to change the image of Tubo in the hearts of the Tang people.
Li Shimin shook his head without hesitation and said, "the name of the princess is exempted. Datang has vowed not to marry again."
"It's just a false name. It's not a marriage. Please help your majesty to make this pair of bitter mandarin ducks."
Merton sneered in his heart. Although there was only one false name, it had a different meaning for Tubo. How could he let Songzan Ganbu succeed? This time, Merton took the initiative to retort before Li Shimin appeared: "Lu Daxiang may not know. There is a famous saying in my Datang Dynasty, that is, everyone is a princess. As long as I am a Datang woman, even if I come from a merchant, I still belong to the princess. Why should I give a name?"
"Everyone is a princess!" Lu Dongzan was stunned. He had studied the mojiazi deeply. Naturally, he knew that this sentence was written by mojiazi for Princess Changle to build a maternal and child hospital. At the moment, it has become the most perfect excuse for the Tang Dynasty to refuse Tubo.
Merton went on: "Not only that, even if concubine Wen is only the daughter of a merchant in the Tang Dynasty, Tubo must be treated with the highest etiquette. When Ben Hou married Princess Changle, he built a new house. Songzan ganbugui, as the head of the country, naturally wanted to build a new palace to marry concubine Wen, otherwise how could he deserve the sincere love between the two? Lu Daxiang said that he was right."
Ludong praised dryly and said, "that's nature, that's nature."
However, in Lu Dongzan's heart, it's like eating a fly. It's shameless for mojiazi. He not only doesn't want to give Princess Wen the false name of the princess, but also Tubo treats Princess Wen with the etiquette of the princess. It's called supporting women in the Tang Dynasty. It's just going to whore Tubo for nothing.
Merton laughed and said, "in that case, Ben Hou is just inspired and has a grand palace idea. Get a paper and pen."
At the instigation of Li Shimin, pound soon sent paper and brush. Merton picked up the brush and painted on the paper. Soon, a grand palace jumped onto the paper, which was the shape of the Potala Palace of later generations.
"Others are trying to change the track of history, but I am the only one trying to put history on the right track." Merton sighed when he wrote.
"Your Majesty, please look!" pound respectfully handed the drawing paper to Li Shimin.
When Li Shimin took it over, he couldn't help breaking his heart for this magnificent palace. He couldn't help being jealous. Why didn't Merton give him this drawing.
On second thought, this move of Mojia Zi is a consumption of Tubo's national strength. If it is really dedicated to him, I'm afraid he can't pass the ministerial level at all.
"It's really magnificent." the ministers circulated the drawings of the Potala Palace and couldn't help praising them again and again.
"Lu Daxiang is still satisfied. Merton's calligraphy and painting can be worth thousands of gold in the Tang Dynasty. This time, Tubo has made money?" Li Shimin said in a loud voice.
Lu Dongzan was bitter in his heart. The Mohist school made a big decision for imperial concubine Wen. I'm afraid it was to use this palace to consume Tubo's national strength!
However, although he knew that it was the yangmou of the Mohist school, Lu Dongzan had to accept it with a smile.
"Thank you for your picture."
Merton snorted coldly, "it's too early for Lu Daxiang to be happy. Although the sincerity of Tubo moved his majesty, your revenge against me has not been solved."
"Mohou is trying to kill all the foreign ministers!" Lu Dongzan smiled bitterly, which aroused the pity of many ministers.
"Killing people is nothing more than nodding. Marquis Mo has killed 5000 Tubo cavalry, and killed Lun Qinling. In front of him, Lu Dongzan is just a poor man who sends black hair to white hair." Yu Zhining said with an unbearable face.
"Taludongzan is a white haired man who sends black haired people. I don't know if the 180 families in the Tang Dynasty are not white haired people who send black haired people. Who has pity?" Merton sniffed.
Yu Zhining immediately concluded that he wanted to say that five thousand families in Tubo had lost their children, but he wisely didn't say it, otherwise it would certainly cause public anger.
"The two countries fight without killing envoys, and now Tubo has surrendered. If you commit suicide without authorization, ludongzan and provoke the crime of war without permission, you are duty bound to Merton." Yu Zhining pressed each other with great righteousness.
But Merton was not afraid and said, "if you want to blame ludongzan for provoking the dispute between Tubo and Tang Dynasty, he is to blame. However, seeing that he is an envoy, I can give him a way to live. It depends on whether he can grasp it."
"Please give me your advice."
Ludongzan understands that he has retreated. Tubo has passed this barrier, and whether he can pass depends on this level. "
Merton stared at Ludong and said, "I heard that Luda Xiang is a famous wise man in Tubo. Today, I will give Luda Xiang three questions. If you can answer them, you will save your life. If you can't answer them, you will blame your own life."
"Please give me a question!" ludongzan said simply. Now he has no way back.
"First, I have a peerless jade named Jiuqu Cong jade. If you pass it through with silk thread, even if you pass through." Merton said.
The ministers frowned. He also heard about the name of Jiuqu Congyu. It was Li Shimin's dowry for Merton and Changle's wedding. Jiuqu Congyu was like its name. The hole in the middle was Jiuqu ileum. How could a soft silk thread pass through these curved holes? However, although Merton's problem was tricky, it did not exceed Lu Dongzan's understanding, and they had nothing to say.
"Second, there are a hundred mares and a hundred foals in the horse circle. They are all mother son relationships. Lu Daxiang only needs to recognize the 100 mother and son." Merton said again.
All officials were stunned. In people's eyes, unless they scolded day and night, other horses looked the same, let alone let them recognize the pony, which was an impossible task for them.
"Third, it's the simplest. When you and other Tibetan envoys arrived in the Tang Dynasty, Ben Hou was responsible for receiving you, but he deliberately made trouble because of selfishness. This time, Ben Hou compensated 100 sheep and 100 jars of wine to the Tibetan envoys at one time."
"A hundred sheep, a hundred jars of wine." ludongzan couldn't help flashing a trace of dignity. He didn't believe Merton would be so kind. There must be fraud.
Sure enough, Merton continued, "you're going to kill the sheep. Within a day, peel, eat all the meat, knead the skin and drink the wine."
"Ah!" all the officials were in an uproar. Merton finally made a killing move. The Tubo mission only had a hundred people, but it was almost impossible to eat a sheep. What's more, it was also on the wine. At the moment, the wine of Datang is not the same as that of a thousand cups, but highly strong wine. I'm afraid no one can afford to be drunk with a jar of wine, Where can I finish the task assigned by Merton.
