After Fang Qi turned around, Wu Hao, who received the signal from Fang Yiai's eyes, nodded smartly and followed Fang Qi out of the house.
When the Tubo envoy came in, he saw that Sun Huan, Cheng Hualiang, Qin Huaiyu, Lu Yi and others were all there. Naturally, he was embarrassed to open his mouth directly. He chatted with everyone for a while, but his buttocks were still hot, but he always signaled Fang Yiai to avoid everyone in his words.
, want to chat privately.
Before Fang Yiai could react, Wu Hao came in to report that it was Chu Suiliang, Lord Chu, and His Highness Ninth Prince Jin Wang Li Zhi, who had arrived to congratulate Fang Yiai on the new house.
Fang Yiai naturally happily went out to welcome the person in.
"Hey, the Tubo envoy is here too?" Chu Suiliang entered the living room and saw the Tubo envoy present, and asked Fang Yiai pretending to be strange.
"Yes, this envoy is really too polite. Hearing that the emperor gave me a house, he enthusiastically came to congratulate me on my new house. It's really flattering." Fang Yiai said,
At the same time, Li Zhi and Chu Suiliang were brought in.
After people changed seats, everyone sat down again, talking about the local customs and romantic nights.
Until before the curfew, Fang Yiai shouted, "Everyone is in high spirits during happy events, and everyone gets drunk unless they are drunk." Then he held up a wine glass and lay on the table until he became unconscious. The Tibetan envoys could not find anyone who was almost the same as Fang Yiai.
Loves to talk alone.
Since the host is drunk, it is naturally inconvenient for the guests to stay longer.
The Tibetan envoy, who had not drunk much wine or eaten much food, finally gave away the generous gifts, but failed to achieve the expected purpose, so he could only return to the inn even more depressed.
As soon as the Tubo envoy left, Fang Yiai and the others who were drunk at the dinner table all sat up with smiles on their faces and looked unharmed.
"Do you still want to eat? I'll have someone prepare the banquet again?" Fang Yiai asked Chu Suiliang, the oldest, with no trace of drunkenness on his face.
"Living so close, I'm afraid I'll have to drink with you in the future. Let's stop here today. I have to go to court tomorrow." Chu Suiliang smiled and looked at the few people who were no longer drunk and in high spirits, shaking his head and saying.
Everyone saw off Chu Suiliang, who had to go to court. After they came back, they were noisy until midnight, and then they all rested in the guest room prepared by Fang Yiai's new house. Even Li Zhi, who lived next door, did not return to his house.
The next day, people from Honglu Temple came to send a message, saying that the Tibetan envoys wanted to negotiate as soon as possible to restore the good relationship between the two countries. They wanted to see when General Fang, who was responsible for the negotiations in the Tang Dynasty, would be convenient.
Fang Yiai and Du He were very happy and invited the Tibetan envoys to Honglu Temple for tea in the afternoon to discuss post-war compensation for Songzhou and the handling of prisoners.
"By the way, envoy from Zhisai Rudun, I heard that in Tubo, all prisoners captured in a victorious battle will become the slaves of the victor. I wonder if this is true?" After sitting down, Fang Yiai hurried to Zhisai Rudun.
Before opening his mouth to speak, he asked casually and curiously.
Zhi Sairuton's mind fluctuated, his pupils shrank, and he looked at Fang Yiai with a normal expression, trying to figure out what Fang Yiai meant from his face.
In Tubo, it is true that as Fang Yiai said, the defeated captives are the slaves of the victor. But if he said so, would Fang Yiai, as one of the victorious generals in the Battle of Songzhou, take Suolang
Prince Pubu is considered his slave? You know, the master has the power of life and death over the slave!
But if you say no, you are afraid that the other party will think that you represent Tubo, and you have no sincerity in the negotiation, and then you will be left aside? Please note that the slave matter is true. Send someone to inquire about it.
You can know the truth.
Thinking of the coming time, Master Zanpu abandoned his sect and Nongzan told him to make good friends with the Tang Dynasty no matter what, and bring Master Suolangpubu and other Tibetan warriors back smoothly!
Zhi Sai Rudun narrowed his eyes slightly, held the tea cup with his hand hard, then slowly relaxed it, took a breath quietly, nodded and said, "General Fang is really knowledgeable, in my case
Tubo has such a custom, which makes everyone in the Celestial Empire laugh."
Zhisai Rudun emphasized Tubo in order to remind Fang Yiai that we are in the Tang Dynasty now, not in their Tubo country, and everything should be done according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty.
Fang Yiai smiled, nodded, put down the tea cup in his hand, then looked at Zhisai Rudun and asked, "I wonder how Tibet plans to compensate the Tang Dynasty for its losses?"
"Five thousand taels of gold, fifty pairs of pearls, ten pairs of snow-tailed goshawks, two boxes of precious stones, five hundred pieces of silverware, and nearly a thousand yaks and other living animals, to compensate me for the loss caused by Tubo's offense to the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, I beg you
His Majesty the Khan of Heaven can agree to marry my king, and I also ask His Majesty the Khan of Heaven to be kind and let my son of Tibet back." Zhisai Rudun stood up and said, and at the same time presented the gift list.
"Stop!" Fang Yiai took the gift list, waved her hand and said, "I would like to ask, please give the envoy a more detailed answer."
Zhi Sairuton looked at Fang Yiai, waiting for his question.
"The gold, goshawks, pearls and other items on this gift list, I wonder if the envoy was sent by Tubo Zanpu as an apology for the Battle of Songzhou?" Fang Yiai glanced at the items on the gift list and asked Du
He winked, then pointed at the gift list and asked.
"That's true." Zhisayruton said.
"Are you sure it's correct? Did you remember it wrong?" Fang Yiai asked.
"That's right." Zhisairuton said.
"Master Zhou, Master Du, have you heard clearly what the envoy said?" Fang Yiai asked Zhou Zheng, the minister of Honglu Temple, and Du He, the minister of household affairs, who were beside him.
Du He put down his pen, dried the ink on it, and nodded to Fang Yiai.
Fang Yiai handed the gift list to Zhou Zheng for review. He took the words written by Du He and asked Zhi Sairuton to read them.
Please also sign and fingerprint it to avoid anything going wrong in the future."
Zhi Sairuton took the paper and looked at it. What was written on it was indeed what he had just said. He was a little confused about Fang Yiai's intention and looked at Fang Yiai and others hesitantly.
Fang Yiai and others were not in a hurry. They all looked at Zhi Sairuton with friendly smiles, drank tea to moisten their mouths, and made it clear that "there is no need to be anxious, just think about it slowly, we have plenty of time." Don't rush it.
He was anxiously awaiting Zhi Sairuton's next move.
Looking at Fang Yiai and others, and then at the piece of paper in his hand that looked like a confession, Zhisai Ruden really couldn't think of what kind of flowers Fang Yiai and others could turn out on such a piece of paper, but he was worried in his heart.
I felt vaguely that something was wrong, but I also understood that if I didn't sign and fingerprint this piece of paper, I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy to talk about it next.
His eyes changed, and he took a deep look at Fang Yiai. After that, Ruden signed and fingerprinted, handed the paper to Fang Yiai again, and waited for his next words.
"It seems that Tubo Zanpu still attaches great importance to the relationship between our two countries. Since Zanpu is so kind, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Du, shouldn't we refuse and inform the emperor as soon as possible to return the things to the treasury?
Isn't it to put the envoy at ease?" Fang Yiai said with a smile, and his tone was indescribably sincere.
Hearing this, Zhi Sai Ruden's eyes lit up, and joy suddenly appeared on his face. Then the joy faded away, and he looked at Fang Yiai inquiringly, thinking, could it be that the generous gift he gave yesterday really had an effect?
If this is the case, are you giving a generous gift to General Fang Yiai afterwards? After all, no one in the world will have trouble with money.
Zhou Zheng, the minister of Honglu Temple, looked at Fang Yiai with some confusion, not understanding what Fang Yiai meant. However, Du He already responded with a smile and stood up, so Zhou Zheng had no choice but to nod along and agreed to go to the palace and report the matter to the emperor.
Zhisai Rudun did not expect that things would go so smoothly. After Fang Yiai took the paper signed and fingerprinted by himself, he went directly into the palace with Zhou Zheng, Du He and others. Within half an hour, Du He took
The people from the Ministry of Household Affairs came and counted the tribute items brought by Zhisai Rudun according to the gift list and moved them into the Tang Dynasty's treasury.
Since others had given him such a convenient door, Zhi Sai Rudun would naturally not expose it so dryly. In the evening, he enthusiastically invited Fang Yiai, Zhou Zheng, Du He and others to a sumptuous dinner.
Early the next morning, Fang Yiai sent Hou Zanjun and Yuchi Baolin, whose marriage leave had expired, to go south. When they returned to Chang'an City from Shili Changting, they were invited by Zhisai Rudun to inquire about the marriage and the release of the prisoners.
"Marriage? The rule of the Tang Dynasty is to only marry but not to marry. This is the case in Tuyuhun." Fang Yiai looked at Zhisai Rudun seriously and said kindly, "I heard that your Zanpu has a sister who is from your plateau.
Beautiful flower, are you willing to let her marry far away?"
"No, it's us, Zampu, who wants to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty." Zhisai Rudun frowned slightly and explained.
"We in the Tang Dynasty never marry princesses out. If we want to get married, we can only marry one of yours into the Tang Dynasty." Fang Yiai said, "You see, Tuyuhun is my in-law in the Tang Dynasty. As a relative, something happened to Tuyuhun
, I, the Tang Dynasty, will naturally not stand idly by."
"Can't you make some concessions? Zampu really wants to marry the Tang princess." Zhisai Rudun said.
"Why not let Zanpu's sister marry over? You should know that the emperor's princes are all talented and outstanding." Fang Yiai said.
"Zanpu is just a compatriot sister, I'm afraid I won't be able to part with her." Zhisai Rudun shook his head and said, looking at Fang Yiai, hoping that Fang Yiai could go to Li Shimin to deal with her.
"Oh, Zanpu is reluctant to let his sister marry far away." Fang Yiai chuckled and said, "I heard that the envoy knows a lot about the words of the saints of the Tang Dynasty. I wonder if there is a sentence that the envoy has heard?"
"Please enlighten me." Zhisairuton said.
"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." Fang Yiai said.
Zhisai Rudun opened his mouth, then closed it wordlessly.
Yes, Zanpu was reluctant to let his sister marry far away, so how could the king of Tang be willing to let his own flesh and blood marry far away?
"I heard that Zanpu has asked Princess Chizun of Nibala to be his wife." After Fang Yiai finished speaking, he glanced at Zhisayruton with an unclear meaning, turned around and left.
