In Taiji Palace, Lu Dongzan's expression changed slightly when he heard this!
Rejected!
Moreover, the Tang Emperor's tone seemed to be mocking him and the Tibetans for overestimating themselves!
Let Zanpu come over personally?
How was this possible?
Putting aside the fact that the internal strife in Tubo had just subsided and that Songzan Gampo still needed to be in power to intimidate the villains, if he came to the Great Tang and the Great Tang suddenly launched an attack, wouldn't Tubo become scattered sand again?
" Your Majesty, Zanpu sincerely wants to propose marriage to Your Majesty. I heard that Your Majesty has agreed to Tuyuhun Fuyun Khan's request. I hope Your Majesty will be generous…"
Lu Dongzan still did not give up and insisted on marrying the Tang Empire.
Because if he couldn't marry the princess, then there was no way to talk about the rest of the matter!
That would truly be a tribute to the Great Tang, and they would not be able to reap any benefits!
"Impudent!"
"His Majesty did not reject your Zanpu's request. He also said that if he wanted to marry the princess, he would let your Zanpu come to Chang 'an personally.”
At this moment, Li Er looked down at Li Jing. The latter immediately understood and stepped forward to shout at Lu Dongzan.
Lu Dongzan's expression changed again!
Something's not right!
How did things turn out like this?
No matter how weak my Tubo is, I'm still much stronger than a Tuyuhun. Why can Tuyuhun marry a princess when he comes to Tang but not me?
And he was being treated like this?
Lu Dongzan's mind raced, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
"Alright, Apothecary, you can leave first." Li Er said lightly.
Li Jing bowed and retreated to the side.
Looking at the sweaty Lu Dongzan, Li Er chuckled and said,"" Lu Dongzan, I know Songzan Zanpu's kindness. Let's not talk about the marriage alliance for now. You've come from afar. Take a walk around Chang 'an these days. I'll order someone to show you around and take a look at the scenery of Chang' an.”
"When there is a suitable candidate in the future, your Zanpu will come personally and discuss this marriage alliance with Zhen.”
"Zhangsun Wuji, bring out the rewards and give them to these guests who have come from afar!”
Following Li Er's voice, Zhangsun Wuji looked outside the hall. Soon, guards came in with trays.
After opening it, there were gold and silver items, a box containing porcelain, and a calligraphy painting personally written by Li Er.
Lu Dongzan was dumbfounded.
Was this diplomatic mission to the Great Tang just to exchange gifts?
He had taken an ox cart and traveled for half a month to Chang 'an, and then returned with some gold, silver, soft porcelain, calligraphy, and paintings?
For a moment, Lu Dongzan's face turned red, but he didn't know what to say.
"Lu Dongzan thanks Your Majesty!"
……
After the Tibetan envoy left, the morning court session ended.
On the way back, Zhangsun Wugou and Li Er walked side by side and asked,""Your Majesty, why didn't you tell them about the change in route?”
Today's morning court was as usual. Zhangsun Wugou did not see that Li Er was angry because of last night's matter.
She secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
However, in the end, other than rejecting Lu Dongzan's proposal of a marriage alliance, he did not mention anything else.
This made Zhangsun Wugou's heart skip a beat.
If His Majesty knew that he had almost been humiliated, he was afraid that something big would happen!
Zhangsun Wugou was very clear in his heart that it was not worth it to start a war with Tubo because of this!
If it weren't for the pressure from the Turks, it would have been fine to start a war, but now that the Turkic Jie Li Khagan was constantly harassing the Great Tang, they truly didn't have the energy to spare!
"They bullied Si Zi, how can I let them off so easily?”
"No matter what, we have to let them suffer a little!”
"There's no need to say more. Zhen will go to the little doctor's place in a while and teach them a lesson. There won't be any big problems.”
Li Er smiled, but a cold glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.
How could the ruler of the Great Tang not say anything when his own daughter was bullied?
"Then…then alright, ChenQie has just returned, so I won't accompany Your Majesty this time. I'll go see Si Zi in a few days.”
Hearing that Li Er was going to Li Fei's place, Zhangsun Wugou knew that he could no longer hide the matter and could only give up.
He could only pray that His Majesty wouldn't be enraged and do something rash.
After sending Zhangsun Wugou back to the Dew Hall, Li Er went to the royal study.
Not long after he entered, he was about to change into casual clothes and go out when he heard the guard at the door report,"Your Majesty, the three High Dukes have been waiting for you outside for a long time.”
Three dukes?
"Summon him in."
Soon, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, and Qin Qiong entered the royal study and bowed to greet them.
"Your Majesty, the three of us have come to beg for forgiveness!”
"Your Majesty, my son failed to protect the Little Qin Village and frightened the Empress. This matter is the fault of the three of us.”
The three of them bowed in unison and said to Li Er.
"I already know about this matter. Cheng Chumo and the others are not at fault.”
Li Er waved his hand, feeling a little strange.
Hearing this, the three of them stood up. Seeing Li Er change into casual clothes, Qin Qiong's heart stirred.
"Your Majesty, are you preparing to go out?"
Li Er nodded slightly." That's right. It's such a good day. I also plan to go out and watch the wind…"
The three of them looked at each other. In the end, Cheng Yaojin scratched his head and said,"Your Majesty, the three of us don't have anything to do today. Can we go out with Your Majesty to watch the wind?”
Li Er was speechless.
