Chapter 297: Tubo Regrets the Marriage
The next morning, Lu Dongzan, the prime minister of Tubo, asked to meet Wang Ning, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, and said that he had important matters to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Tang. Wang Ning hurriedly reported to Li Shimin.
Foreign ministers usually vassals at large dynasties. The Tubo minister suddenly asked for a meeting, which surprised Li Shimin a little. The next day was the small dynasty meeting every three days. Li Shimin was scheduled to meet Lu Dongzan at the small dynasty meeting tomorrow.
On the morning of August 23, the small dynasty meeting began. Li Shimin and Xuan Lu Dongzan entered Liangyi Hall to meet him. Lu Dongzan walked into Liangyi Hall alone and paid homage to Li Shimin.
After all the etiquette, Li Shimin asked, "What's the matter with the Tubo prime minister? I'm so anxious to see me?"
Lu Dongzan said slowly: "Return to His Majesty the Emperor of Tang, Gerdonzan just received a letter from Zanpu. Zanpu asked the strangers to calculate the fate of the country. The strangers said that if Tubo wants prosperity to continue, he should not enter the daughter of the East. Zanput sent a letter to order Gerdonzan to take back his marriage proposal."
"What?" Li Shimin frowned when he heard this, "You Zanpu want to regret the marriage?"
The officials in the hall were surprised, and Li Daozong was the most shocked. Unexpectedly, Tubo was really going to break off the engagement. Suddenly, he felt that Li Hao was so awesome. I really didn't know how he did it. It was incredible that Tubo could actually regret the marriage on his own initiative. He couldn't help but secretly glance at Li Hao.
Li Hao also came to attend the small dynasty meeting today. People who usually don’t even attend the big dynasty meeting actually came to attend the small dynasty meeting. This is too abnormal, but no one can find out the reason for his abnormality. At this moment, the old god Li Hao was standing in the queue, closing his eyes to rest, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
Although Lu Dongzan spoke very tactfully, he was revealed by Li Shimin. Yes, they just wanted to regret the marriage.
Lu Dongzan was not embarrassed either. After all, in his opinion, the Tang Dynasty had ulterior motives, so he said seriously: "Return to His Majesty the Emperor of Tang, for the sake of the fate of Tubo, Zanpu had to bear the pain of giving up. It should be noted that marrying a Tang Dynasty princess was Zanpu's lifelong wish."
"Absurd." Li Shimin glared and said angrily, "My golden mouth has been opened and the sage has been issued, but you want to break the engagement. Do you think I am easy to deceive?"
It was right for Li Shimin to get angry. In Lu Dongzan's opinion, Li Shimin got angry because the plan was broken. It would be abnormal if he didn't get angry. He slowly knelt down on the ground and shouted: "My family Zanpu knew that I was sorry for His Majesty Tang. I specially asked Gerdonzan to apologize to Emperor Tang on his behalf." After that, he kowtowed to Li Shimin.
When Li Hao heard this, he opened his eyes and saw Lu Dongzan kowtowing, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and thought to himself: "This Lu Dongzan is not only resourceful, but also has a high position without being arrogant, and can bend and stretch. Such a person can accomplish great things!"
Seeing Lu Dongzan like this, Li Shimin couldn't even get angry, but he was still very depressed and said impatiently: "Okay, okay! Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty Tang." Lu Dongzang stood up, and his expression did not change much from beginning to end.
Li Shimin said: "Since Songtsen Gampo wants to break off the engagement, I cannot force it, just submit the letter of the country."
Lu Dongzan did not have any national letters, it was decided by him temporarily. As for Songzan Gampo asking strangers to calculate the national fate, it was even more nonsense. So he continued to talk nonsense seriously: "When he returned to Emperor Tang, the messenger met the bandits on the way, and lost the national letter, and only sent a handwritten letter from my Zanpu."
"What! Even the letter of nationality was lost?" Li Shimin felt that today's things were a bit strange, but he couldn't say where the specific one was strange, so he could only say helplessly, "Then present the letter."
"Yes." Lu Dongzan took out a letter from his arms and raised it over his head.
The closest servant walked over to take the letter and submitted it to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin opened the envelope, opened it, and frowned: "Why is it Tubo literature!"
That's right, this letter was forged by Lu Dongzan. In order to prevent his flaws from being exposed, he wrote it in Tubo. Tubo Zanpu wrote to Tubo Daxiong. Doesn't it mean that Tubo's writing is made of Chinese characters? As for the seal, it is also a forged seal. Anyway, no one has seen Songzan Gampo's private seal, so who knows the authenticity?
Lu Dongzan said without changing his expression: "Reply to His Majesty the Emperor of Tang, this letter was written by Zanpu to Geerdongzan, so it was written in Tubo. If Your Majesty wants to read it, Geerdongzan can read it in court to His Majesty."
"Forget it." Li Shimin passed the letter to his servant in great pleasure and gave it to Lu Dongzan, saying, "No need to read it. Since Songzan Ganbu is going to regret the marriage, then regret the marriage. I, the princess of the Tang Dynasty, are you still worried about whether to marry?"
Anyway, Tubo has asked to break off the engagement, and letters from the country are nothing more important, but just a formality. Since there is not even a letter of the country, there is no need to leave the formality, so I will settle the matter directly.
At this time, the prince who was listening to the government suddenly said, "Father, this matter should not be so hasty. My sons think that there must be something strange about it."
"What's wrong?" Li Shimin turned to look at Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian suddenly became timid: "My son...my son is not aware of it, but this is too hasty and does not even have a letter of nationality. How can you suddenly regret the marriage?"
Li Shimin was unhappy. I would use you to teach me when doing things? But now in the court, he couldn't openly scold Li Chengqian and raised his hand and said, "I have decided on this matter, so don't talk about it."
Li Chengqian stopped depressed and looked at Li Hao angrily in a blink of an eye. Li Hao also looked at him with a faint smile. The eyes were full of ridicule. The two looked at each other and fired. Now it is not necessary to check. The fact that Li Ping was named Princess Wencheng must be the masterpiece of the princess.
Li Hao repeatedly tolerated Li Chengqian. He was not afraid of Li Chengqian, but he did not want to anger Li Shimin. This was Li Shimin's bottom line. Even Wei Zheng dared not easily overcome it. Li Hao asked himself that he was not that capable yet.
But Li Chengqian really angered Li Hao this time. Even my woman dares to move. She is tired of living, right? Let you let you jump for a while, and wait until the time is right, and settle the old and new revenge together. Prince? Haha, I can't kill you!
After the court scattered, the ministers left the imperial city. Lu Yun and Lin Dingkun were waiting in the distance, but Zhu Ruihuan did not come. Why? Because Li Hao was afraid that Basudo would fall into trouble when he saw Zhu Ruihuan, the matter would be exposed, so he asked Zhu Ruihuan to hide for a while, and then let Zhu Ruihuan come out and walk around after Basudo left Chang'an.
Li Hao walked towards Lu Yun, and Li Daozong suddenly rushed up from behind him, three meters away from him, and walked side by side. Li Daozong said calmly: "It's the prince." He was telling Li Hao that the prince encouraged Li Ping to marry Tubo.
"I know." Li Hao continued to walk and replied lightly. From a distance, the two of them seemed to be walking their own ways.
Li Daozong asked again: "How did you do it?" His meaning was obvious and asked Li Hao how he made Tubo repent his marriage on his own initiative.
"Secret." Li Hao replied briefly, speeded up and walked forward alone.
In the Eastern Palace, Li Chengqian was angry in the room, slammed the table and stool, making the room look like he was attacked by a missile. After venting, he collapsed on the ground and cried very sadly. He just wanted to take revenge and take revenge on Li Hao, but every time he ended in failure. He was so frustrated. As the crown prince of a country, he used all conspiracies and conspiracies. He couldn't even beat a little young man. If he couldn't beat it, he was just like this. But Li Hao was still so proud and was granted a marquis at the age of 21. On the other hand, he was a lame prince, so pitiful.
Not long after, a man with a beautiful appearance pushed the door and walked in. Why use the word Miaoli to describe a man? Because this man is so beautiful, if he changes into women's clothing, he will be a beautiful woman. This man is Li Chengqian's favorite musician of Taichang Temple - Chengxin. Where is Taichang Temple? It is a place that specializes in cultivating pity for people, various musicians, dancers, jugglers, etc. This is an entertainment department.
Chengxin came from Taichang Temple. When he was in Taichang Temple, it was like a pillar, both men and women, good at singing and dancing, and beautiful appearance. After Li Chengqian saw him, he fell in love with him and asked him to come to his side.
I was satisfied that I was used to hard life in Taichang Temple and was suddenly attracted by the prince, so I was naturally extremely happy. It just so happened that his mind and nature had changed because of years of dressing up as a woman, so I kept serving the prince obediently.
"Your Highness." He called out softly, his tone was weak and a little worried.
"Satisfied." Li Chengqian pulled him down, hugged him, and asked, "Do you think I am very incompetent?"
"Why did Your Highness say that?" Shuixin said in surprise when he heard this, "Your Highness is the prince, how could he be incompetent?"
"Isn't the prince incompetent?" Li Chengqian laughed at himself, "I can't even defeat Li Hao. I'm really incompetent. I'm just a waste."
"Your Highness, don't say that." Soo Xin reached out and gently covered Li Chengqian's mouth with his five fingers, and said slowly, "What's the problem with Your Highness to overthrow Li Hao? Just wait for Your Highness to ascend the throne, then the world will belong to Your Highness. At that time, Your Highness wants Li Hao to die, it will not be a matter of one sentence."
"Yes, you're right. The world will eventually be lonely, and Li Hao's life will be lonely." Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and murmured, suddenly pulled Xingxin up, walked out, and whispered loudly as he walked, "Come! Play music! Prepare wine!"
After experiencing failure, Li Chengqian could only numb himself with alcohol and do whatever he wanted in the East Palace. Perhaps this would relieve the pain in his heart.
The banquet was in full joy. The prince Zuo Shushou Zhang Xuansu suddenly broke in. After coming in, he saw the eunuchs and palace maids chasing and fighting here. Shuxinyi laughed in the prince's arms, while Shuxin was drinking.
"What kind of pride is it! What kind of pride is it!" Zhang Xuansu was so angry that his whole body trembled, shouted angrily, and the silk and bamboo wind music stopped immediately. The palace maids and eunuchs were so scared that they hid.
Zhang Xuansu walked up to Li Chengqian angrily and glared: "As the crown prince of a country, his highness should put national affairs first. How can he have such a banquet for the deep palace and have fun with eunuchs and palace maids? How can he be more or less adept at it!"
What he said about pity for others was naturally a reference to the meaning of satisfaction. This sentence immediately angered Li Chengqian. It was not the first time he had been wronged, nor was it the first time he was scolded. But before, he had basically disobeyed the situation, and the matter was over. But this time, Zhang Xuansu actually scolded the meaning of success, which angered his bottom line. The most important thing is... He is now half drunk, and there is a saying that makes the cowards brave.
Li Chengqian took advantage of the alcohol and slapped the table, stood up and drank: "What's wrong with me drinking and having fun with them? Has the state affairs been delayed?"
"You..." Zhang Xuansu didn't expect that Li Chengqian's attitude was so bad this time, and he said angrily, "Your Highness, you are the future king. You need to put state affairs first. You should introduce more palace ministers and set up more members to assist in wisdom and virtue..."
"Okay! Stop talking!" Li Chengqian waved his hand violently and said impatiently, "All day, it's all these things that are broken. I'm so annoying. I'm just drinking some wine and listening to some fun. What's wrong with you? Let me meet you more, okay, come and have a drink with me!"
"You...you..." Zhang Xuansu was so angry that his beard trembled. Unexpectedly, the prince said such a bastard. He felt so heartbroken that he felt that all the preachings of these years were wasted on the dog.
