At this moment, in the Purple Palace Hall, only Cheng Sanfu and Xuan Ling were acting as hosts, summoning the Tibetan envoy, Budate.
In fact, it was right behind the main hall.
Li Er, Duke Du, and Wei Wei sat there and listened.
Especially Li Er. When he heard the words 'marriage,' his expression changed drastically.
"Your Majesty, calm down and listen to what the Tibetan envoy has to say!”Old Master Du quickly said in a low voice.
Li Er nodded and did not let himself appear too impulsive.
Cheng Sanfu and Xuan Ling, 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 Sanfu asked coldly with a dark face.
"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 Sanfu, Xuan Ling, or Duke Du, they immediately thought of this when they heard of Budate's intention to marry.
"May I know who your country wishes to marry into the Great Tang?”Cheng Sanfu suppressed the anger in his heart.
"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 Sanfu slapped the table in front of him without 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.
There was no change in his expression. He was still smiling as he looked at the furious Cheng Sanfu.
"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 Sanfu said furiously.
Although Xuan Ling didn't say anything, he seemed to be a little angry.
Not to mention Li Er, 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 Er was incomparably furious. The Tibetans were simply looking down on the Great Tang and him.
If it wasn't for Cheng Sanfu's slap, which had caused a loud bang on the table.
Li Er probably couldn't suppress the anger in his heart 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 Sanfu 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 Sanfu had a fierce personality and was originally dissatisfied with the Tibetan envoy.
Now that he heard such words, he could not control his temper even more.
If it wasn't for Xuan Ling pulling him, this guy might have directly rushed up and ruthlessly beat up Buda.
However, Budate did not stop. He only turned his head slightly and looked coldly at Cheng Sanfu.
Sneering, he strode out of the Purple Mansion Hall and headed straight outside.
"Preposterous, this is simply going too far!”
Cheng Sanfu roared angrily and almost got thrown out by Xuan Ling.
"Duke Lu, Cheng Sanfu and Cheng Zhijie, don't be angry, don't be angry. The Tubo people are full of courage and have been coveting the Tang Empire for a long time. If we really let them ally with the Turks, it will be detrimental to the Tang Empire. We have to consider this matter carefully!"”
"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 Sanfu was so angry that he was confused.
So was Xuan Ling. However, he was much calmer than Cheng Sanfu.
"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!”Xuan Ling said.
"Wahhhh!"
Cheng Sanfu roared angrily, shaking the entire Purple Mansion Hall.
