Just as Li Ke was invincible in the Turkic army and changing the course of the battle…
The Chamberlain of Dependencies in Chang 'an welcomed a special guest.
The Great Minister of Tubo, Lu Dongzan, had personally led the Tibetan delegation to Chang 'an to ask for a marriage alliance princess from the Tang Empire!
Divine Dragon Palace.
Li Shimin, who was anxious about the Turkic war and the recent changes in the aristocratic families.
He angrily smashed the Tibetan letter to the ground and stepped on it twice before venting his anger.
At the side.
Empress Zhangsun, who still looked haggard, frowned and asked,""Second brother, what's wrong?"
Li Shi Min grabbed a cup of tea and took a big gulp."The Tubo barbarians took advantage of the situation and wanted to marry the Great Tang. However, they used the Turkic war as a threat and stationed their troops in Jinchuan, wanting to marry my daughter!”
Instantly!
Empress Zhangsun was furious.
"Tubo beast!"
Li Shimin's only daughters who had yet to be married were Princess Jinyang, who was less than a year old, and Princess Chengyang, who was just three or four years old.
Therefore, Empress Zhangsun was furious when she heard the Tibetan request.
The Tubo people went too far.
He requested to marry the daughter of the Tang Empire.
Could it be that she had to marry Princess Chang Le, who was already engaged to her nephew Zhangsun Chong?
Or perhaps…
Handing over the three or four-year-old Princess Cheng Yang to them?
"How preposterous!"
Empress Zhangsun was furious.
……
……
Second Emperor Li and Empress Zhangsun were angry in the palace.
The Great Minister of Tubo, Lu Dongzan, had already become an honored guest of the Lu family of Fanyang.
"Mister Lu, can your emperor really agree to our request?”
Lu Dongzan drank a cup of wine and asked with a slightly red face.
Opposite him.
The head of the Lu family in Fanyang, the Duke of Fanyang, Lu Chengqing, drank a cup of tea.
"Great Minister, don't worry. There won't be any problems."
Lu Dongzan, who was on his first diplomatic mission to the Great Tang, heaved a sigh of relief.
The Tubo Empire had yet to fully rise, but it already had the appearance of being the overlord of the plateau.
But Ludongzan and Songzan Gampo both felt that the Turks were barren, and while the Great Tang was at war with the Turks, they had decided to come to the Great Tang to take advantage of the situation.
As long as they obtained the massive dowry of the Great Tang, the Tubo would be able to sweep through the Tuyuhun Empire and unify the plateau.
Coincidentally.
When Lu Dongzan was studying in the Tang Empire, he had some interactions with the previous head of the Lu family in Fanyang, Lu Chisong. He could be considered half a disciple.
Therefore…
Naturally.
He begged Fan Yang and Lu shi.
After that.
That was why Lu Dongzan sent the letter of credence to the palace.
Lu Dongzan drank another cup of wine and asked worriedly,""Mister Lu, I heard that Your Majesty only has two daughters. The eldest daughter, Princess Changle, is already engaged to the eldest son of the Duke of Zhao, Zhangsun Wuji.
This…Could Zhangsun Wuji…"
Lu Chengqing glanced at him with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Barbarians were barbarians after all.
Even if he was talented and intelligent, the scale was still too small.
"Great Minister need not worry, just wait patiently.”
As he spoke.
A servant came in.
"Old Master, Duke Zhao is here to visit."
Instantly.
Lu Dongzan's expression changed.
Lu Chengqing glanced at him and waved his hand."Great Minister, come with me to welcome Duke Zhao.”
Very quickly.
They saw Zhangsun Wuji with a gloomy face.
The three of them pretended to exchange a few pleasantries before returning to the Lu family's living room.
He had just entered.
Zhangsun Wuji asked coldly,""Is Duke Lu deceiving my Zhangsun Clan?”
"Why do you say that, Duke Zhao?" Lu Chengqing asked with a smile.”
Zhangsun Wuji looked at him coldly and said,""Lu Gong, don't pretend to be ignorant.”
Lu Chengqing didn't say anything and gave Lu Dongzan a look.
Lu Dongzan took a deep breath.
"Duke of Zhao, it is my will to marry the princess of the Tang Empire on behalf of my family's Zanpu. It has nothing to do with Mister Lu."”
Zhangsun Wuji turned around.
His expression was cold.
"Do you know that His Majesty's princess has already been betrothed to my eldest son?”
Lu Dongzan smiled.
"Naturally I know."
Zhangsun Wuji became even more furious.
However, he quickly calmed down.
The Great Tang and the Turks were at war.
The situation was not good.
At this moment, the Tibetans had come to seize this opportunity to threaten him.
As for whether the princess was the emperor's princess, there was no difference.
They…
What he wanted was not a princess, but the massive dowry of a princess from the Great Tang!
"You don't have the qualifications to ask for the princess 'hand in marriage!
Tell me, what do you want?"
Zhangsun Wuji's eyes flashed coldly.
Lu Dongzan gave him a thumbs up.
The Central Plains of the Tang Empire was indeed a land of outstanding talents!
He had guessed their plan so quickly.
"There's no other reason. Duke Zhao wants me to give up on marrying the princess. He only needs to agree to my support for Duke Lu in the Imperial Court.”
Lu Dongzan directly stated his conditions.
Instantly.
Zhangsun Wuji's eyes flashed.
"Are you going to attack the King of Wu?"
Lu Chengqing did not say a word. He just lowered his head and drank his tea.
Ha!
Can't hold it in anymore?
However…
To attack the King of Wu.
It is in line with the interests of my Zhangsun Clan!
Zhangsun Wuji only thought for a moment before he decisively agreed.
"Sure! Just let me know when you want to make a move.”
After saying that.
He raised his head and sneered at Lu Dongzan.""Chang 'an has not been very peaceful recently. Great Minister, please be careful.”
Instantly.
Lu Dongzan's face darkened.
Was this considered a threat?
"Thank you for your reminder, Duke Zhao. I hope that you will support me in the court tomorrow.”
Humph!
Zhangsun Wuji snorted coldly.
He turned around and left.
