When people are greedy, they will inevitably become snobbish.
Li Qinzai never denied his greed. He was greedy openly, so he did not hide his snobbery.
Zan Xiruo's gift was too shabby and did not suit his liking, and the welcoming smile on Li Qinzai's face became a little stiff.
The Tubo people are too ignorant. We, the great Chinese people, are the descendants of the dragon. What does the dragon like most? Of course I like shiny gold jewelry. What do you mean by giving me these rags?
Li Qinzai even doubted whether he was deliberately humiliating himself.
Zan Xiruo obviously hadn't noticed the change in Li Qinzai's expression. Seeing him greet him personally, he suddenly felt more dignified.
So Zan Xiruo suddenly threw up his narrow robe and long sleeves, opened his mouth wide, and sang a song babblingly in front of the people outside the mansion and the people watching, and danced while singing. dance.
I don’t quite understand the lyrics, but they’re not meant to be insulting, and the dancing is very enchanting, with her hips and hips swaying, her eyebrows raised and raised, and her expressions are lively and engaging.
Singing and dancing in front of a large audience. Without some social skills, he really couldn't do this. At least Li Qinzai couldn't do it. As the host greeting guests, Li Qinzai was so embarrassed standing outside the door that he felt sick, and it was inconvenient to turn around and leave, so he had no choice but to do it. He forced a smile and silently prayed that this guy would finish dancing quickly.
The ethnic customs are different. The Tubo people are probably a nation that is good at singing and dancing. No matter what happens, they like to use singing and dancing to express their mood.
Li Qinzai didn't understand the lyrics, but he roughly understood that Zan Xiruo was expressing his gratitude to the host and that I was honored to be a guest at your home.
After finally waiting for him to finish the song, he finally flicked his long sleeves, hit the ground with his heels, and yelled "Bazahei".
Li Qinzai let out a long breath, and the surrounding people cheered loudly. Even the Li family was ready to dance. It seemed that he was planning to dance with this patient with deep social angst.
After Zan Xiruo finished dancing, she panted slightly and bowed with one hand on her chest to salute.
"The brightness of the sun also needs the decoration of the stars. The Prime Minister of Tubo praised Siruo and paid homage to His Excellency Duke Li, the most trusted minister of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. May the glory of the sun and stars..."
Before he finished speaking an incomprehensible metaphor, Li Qinzai grabbed his hand and walked towards the house.
"Don't worry about the sun and stars. Where's Guang Nima's Hui? Hurry in, have a feast, drink, and after drinking, go back to your home, you go!"
Zan Xiruo was astonished, struggled a few times, and held on to the door frame, refusing to come in: "Grandmaster Li, wait a minute, I have a dance to thank the guests and hosts that I haven't danced yet..."
"What about dancing? Are you crazy? You like to dance in public so much, why don't you strip naked and dance!" Li Qinzai dragged him through the door.
Unable to hold the door frame open, Zan Xiruo was finally dragged in through the door by Li Qinzai.
If Zan Xiruo is unhappy, Li Qinzai will be even more unhappy.
If Li Zhi hadn't asked me to talk to you about the end of the war and the reconciliation between the two countries, you would have been beaten up by me with a stick and sent to Wannian County Prison for indecency.
When Li Qinzai and Zan Xiruo entered, the door of the Duke's Mansion was closed, and Li Qinzai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was so embarrassing just now. He was singing and dancing in front of so many people. This guy is really not shy at all. Did he work in a cultural troupe before becoming the prime minister?
Entering the front hall, the guests and hosts sat down, and Li Qinzai immediately ordered the banquet to begin.
If Zan Xiruo behaves politely, he is too polite, a bit too much.
He saluted non-stop when he entered the door, and flattered him wildly after he was seated. He talked about all the great achievements in Li Qinzai's life. Even Li Qinzai was confused. He didn't know that he was so awesome.
After the servants brought the wine and food, Li Qinzai smiled and just raised his glass when he suddenly found Zan Xiruo standing up again and standing in the middle of the front hall with a full glass of wine.
That's right, he flicked his long sleeves again, put his heels on the ground, raised his toes, and started a standard Tubo dance.
After clearing his throat, Zan Xiruo was about to start singing when Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched and he decisively stopped him.
"Xiu'er, sit down!"
Zan Xiruo was stunned for a moment and looked at him without knowing why.
Li Qinzai had no choice but to put on a smile and personally drag him from the middle of the front hall back to behind the low table.
"Don't be busy singing and dancing. Our Tang Dynasty pays attention to reality. Eat the food while it is hot."
Zan Xiruo's face was full of reluctance. It was obvious that Li Qinzai had disturbed his interest and destroyed Tubo's drinking etiquette.
Li Qinzai ignored his displeasure. In my house, if it is a dragon, you have to coil up, if it is a tiger, you have to lie down, and if it is a dog, you have to lie down at the door. Singing, dancing, rapping and playing basketball are absolutely not allowed to exist.
Under Li Qinzai's strong restraint, Zan Xiruo had no choice but to follow the local customs and restrain himself.
After three drinks, the host and guest chatted and the atmosphere gradually became normal.
Facts have proved that it is not a good thing to have too good social skills. When Zan Xiruo restrains himself, it is still easy to make friends.
After chatting, Zan Xiruo gradually got to the point.
Sure enough, as Li Zhi and Li Qinzai guessed, Zan Xiruo's main purpose of coming to Chang'an was to stop the war and reconcile between the two countries.
There was a battle between the two countries for Tuyuhun. The final result was that Tang Dynasty won and Tubo withdrew its troops from Tuyuhun in disgrace.
Later, Lu Dongzan was unwilling to give in and sent a small group of Tibetan troops to sneak into Tuyuhun territory and pretend to be bandits to harass the Tang army and local herdsmen. In the end, they were defeated by the powerful military strength of the Tang Dynasty.
After that battle, the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo fell to the bottom. The decades of peace created by the marriage between Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng also fell apart with the Battle of Tuyuhun.
The relationship fell apart.
To this day, Datang and Tibet do not have any written agreement to prove that the two countries have reached a truce. In fact, the two countries are still at war.
So this is the reason why Zan Xiruo came to Chang'an, and Li Zhi also received Zan Xiruo beyond the standard. It is obvious that both countries intend to call a truce and restore old friendship.
Under such a tacit understanding, it actually doesn't matter whether he pays homage to Li Qinzai or not. Today is just a process.
A peace agreement between the two countries will definitely be signed. Datang has just experienced the Eastern Expedition and is in urgent need of recovery. The Tubo were frightened by the sharp firearms and invincible soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and they preferred to live in peace.
Facts are facts, but you still need to show off your arrogant attitude, otherwise others will think Datang is too cheap.
After listening to Zan Xiruo's words, Li Qinzai grinned, looking unhappy.
"Prime Minister, I fought against the Tibetan army back then. The combat power of your army is really not weak. I almost died under the sword of your army. We are obviously strong enough. Why do you want to have a truce all of a sudden?" Li Qinzai was puzzled.
"Ah?" Zan Xiruo was stunned. What does this mean? You don't seem to be happy with a truce between the two countries. What do you mean? Addicted to fighting?
