At this moment, in the Zichen Hall, on the surface, only Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling were in charge of summoning the Tibetan envoy, Budate.
In fact, it was right behind the main hall.
Li Shimin, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng sat there and listened.
Especially Li Shi Min, when he heard the word 'marriage' his face changed.
"Your Majesty, calm down and listen to what the Tibetan envoy has to say!”Du Ruhui quickly said in a low voice.
Li Shi Min nodded and didn't act rashly.
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling who were sitting in the main hall also recovered from their shock.
"Buda Special Envoy's Day, I didn't hear you clearly just now. What did you say you wanted to do?”Cheng Yaojin asked coldly.
"Hehe, to tell you the truth, I, Wang Songzan Gambo, and the other Zanps are still young. Moreover, our Tubo Kingdom has always been on good terms with the Great Tang. In order to strengthen our relationship, Songzan Zanpo hopes to strengthen our friendship through marriage and establish a peaceful dynasty together!”said Budate with a smile.
In the third year of Zhenguan, the situation in Tubo was worrying, and the surrounding tribes united against Tubo.
Helplessly, the Tibetan ministers elected the twelve-year-old Songzan Gambo as the new generation of Tsampo.
The word " Zanpu " was equivalent to the meaning of a king or a sovereign in the Tubo Empire.
Although the Tibetans were being attacked from all sides, the situation did not become very bad.
Especially in the past two months, Songzan Gambo had led the Tibetan army to win several battles and suppress the surrounding tribes.
Thus, they took this opportunity to send envoys to Chang 'an, hoping to get the Tang's aid through marriage.
Even if the Great Tang did not send troops, once the two sides made peace, they would be able to restrain the rebellious tribes to a certain extent.
This would give the Tibetans a chance to catch their breath.
He would definitely sweep away those tribes in one go and unify the entire plateau.
Of course, those present were not ordinary people.
Whether it was Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, or Du Ruhui, they immediately thought of this when they heard Budate's intentions.
"May I know who your country wishes to marry into the Great Tang?”Cheng Yaojin suppressed the anger in his heart and said.
"Hehe, the candidate has been decided. I heard that the emperor's eldest daughter, Princess Changle, is now sixteen years old, a good age to marry. If the Great Tang can betroth Princess Changle to me, Wang Songzan, then wouldn't that be…"
Pa!
Just as Budate was talking non-stop about his intentions for coming here.
The hot-tempered Cheng Yaojin slapped the table in front of him without any warning.
Instantly, the Yulin Royal Guards on both sides took out their sabers.
As long as they gave the order, the Yulin Royal Guards would not hesitate to kill these Tubo barbarians in the Purple Imperial Palace.
However, in the face of such a scene, Budate did not show any signs of panic.
The expression on his face didn't change. He was still smiling as he looked at the furious Cheng Yaojin.
"Is this how the Great Tang treats its guests?”Budate sneered.
"Humph, hospitality? How can we not know how to treat our guests? However, the way one treated a guest depended on who it was. A mere Tibetan barbarian actually wanted to marry the Eldest Princess of the Tang Empire? You must be dreaming!" Cheng Yaojin said angrily.
Fang Xuanling didn't say anything, but he seemed to be angry.
Not to mention Li Shi Min, who had been sitting at the back.
Princess Changle had always been the apple of his and Empress Zhangsun's eyes. She was only sixteen years old now.
Before this, he had never thought of marrying his precious daughter to a place as far away and difficult as Tibet.
Even if it was the worst case, he had to find a young talent of similar age in the Great Tang.
Li Shiming was furious. The Tibetan army was simply looking down on the Great Tang and him.
If it wasn't for Cheng Yaojin's slap that made a loud noise on the table, it wouldn't have been possible.
Li Shi Min couldn't suppress his anger and walked out from behind.
Time seemed to freeze as it passed bit by bit.
After an unknown amount of time, the Tibetan envoy, Budate, stood up with a smile.
"Today, the Japanese envoy has already conveyed his intentions to Duke Lu and Duke Liang. I hope that the two of you can discuss with His Majesty whether or not you want to marry him!”
"Tomorrow morning, I will bring three treasures with me. I, King Songzan Gambo, have a very simple meaning. In consideration of our many years of friendship with the Great Tang, as long as the Great Tang can pass these three tests, we will never break our promise. In addition, my Tubo will pay tribute every year and pay tribute every year. If the Great Tang is unable to pass these three tests, my king hopes to formally marry the Great Tang!”
"Oh, right, not long ago, the Turks sent people over, hoping to form an alliance with Tubo and share the world."
As soon as he finished speaking, just as Bu Da Te had yet to walk out of the Purple Mansion Hall.
Cheng Yaojin was so angry that he kicked the table in front of him."Barbarian Tubo, how dare you! Are you here to threaten the Tang Empire?”
"Do you really think that our Great Tang is afraid of the Turks and your Tubo?”
Cheng Yao Jin Xing Lie was originally dissatisfied with the Tibetan envoy.
Now that he heard such words, he could not control his temper even more.
If Fang Xuanling hadn't pulled him back, this guy might have rushed up and beat up Budate.
Budate didn't stop. He just turned his head slightly and looked at Cheng Yaojin coldly.
Sneering, he strode out of the Purple Mansion Hall and headed straight outside.
"Preposterous, this is simply going too far!”
Cheng Yaojin roared angrily, almost being thrown out by Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling grabbed him tightly and said,""Duke Lu, Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Zhijie, don't be angry, don't be angry. This Tubo has been lusting after our Great Tang for a long time. If we really let them ally with the Turks, it will be detrimental to our Great Tang.”
"Hmph, so be it. Do you think I'm afraid of them? At worst, I'll call my nephew Mu Chen and lead the eighteen Yan Cavalry to destroy the Turkic and Tubo barbarians. Let's see if they still dare to be so arrogant!”Cheng Yaojin was so angry that he was confused.
So was Fang Xuanling. However, he was much calmer than Cheng Yaojin.
"Old Cheng, don't be angry. There's still time for things to take a breather. It hasn't reached a point where it can't be stopped yet!”Fang Xuanling said.
"Wahhhh!"
Cheng Yaojin roared angrily, shaking the entire Purple Mansion Hall.
