"Your Highness, please forgive me!"
"The foreign minister came to the Tang Dynasty for the first time. He is not familiar with the place and the language..."
After a long time, the young man laughed again, took a step forward, held Lu Dongzan's hand, and said with a smile: "No problem, no problem, the Tang Dynasty is tolerant of all corners of the world, my father is broad-minded, and the sea is tolerant of all rivers. "
"It is said that the prime minister's belly can support a boat, but I am the prince. The prime minister just doesn't know me. Those who don't know are not guilty."
Lu Dongzan held the hand of the young man in front of him, and the heart that was hanging in his heart finally fell into his chest.
He was really afraid that this young man would give him a big label and he might not be able to return to Tibet.
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."
"The king of Japan invited you here today because he wanted to communicate with you. I heard that the Prime Minister is very knowledgeable and is second to none in Tubo. I admire him extremely..."
Lu Dongzan sat down, but until now, he didn't know who the young man in front of him was?
Li Ke looked at the restless Lu Dongzan and said with a smile: "I will introduce myself first, so that the Prime Minister will not admit the wrong person next time."
"This king is Li Ke, the king of Shu."
"The Prime Minister should have heard of it..."
rub……
Lu Dongzhan stood up from his chair with a sigh of relief, with a look of horror on his face. Did he see a ghost today?
Isn’t the King of Shu already dead?
How can I stand here properly?
Lu Dongzan took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
"Hahaha, don't misunderstand me. I only died for others to see. Now that the people watching the show are dead, why am I still pretending?"
hiss!
Lu Dongzan finally figured it out, it turned out that he was acting.
It seems that the entire Tang Dynasty is not monolithic!
Lu Dongzan quickly bowed and said: "The foreign minister has met the King of Shu, and the King of Shu is safe."
"No gift!"
"I would like to propose a toast to the Prime Minister first..."
The two drank several glasses of wine, and Lu Dongzan's face turned red. He liked the strong wine from Tang Dynasty the most. It would be great if Tubo also had it.
Li Ke and Lu Dongzan started talking about the plateau, and he found that the King of Shu knew the plateau better than he did.
This made Lu Dongzan feel a little scared from the bottom of his heart.
Did the Tang Dynasty fully grasp the internal information of Tubo?
This is not a good thing!
"Prime Minister, Tubo is a big country on the plateau, and I, the Tang Dynasty, are in charge of the entire Central Plains, running Hexi and the desert. My father is called the Khan of Heaven by all countries."
"The strength of the Tang Dynasty is obvious to all, but my father has said that the Tang Dynasty has no intention of invading other countries or occupying their territory."
"The Prime Minister should also have seen that even though my king's father defeated the Turks who were the most hated by the Tang Dynasty, he did not kill them all. He also allowed their king to live in Chang'an, let him live in his old age, and provide for him until his death. .”
"The Turks are now all subjects of the Tang Dynasty."
"My father also said that this time the prime minister came to propose marriage. He originally agreed to this marriage for the sake of the peaceful development of the two countries, so that the Tang Dynasty and Tubo could get closer to each other. But Tuyuhun, a wallflower, openly surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Secretly do things that make people angry."
"This time your proposal failed because of Tuyuhun's fault."
"Tuyuhun is so abominable."
Lu Dongzan also nodded in agreement. This Tuyuhun was indeed too abominable.
"However, the Tang Dynasty has determined that if Tuyuhun, a wallflower, looks good, he will definitely destroy them this time."
"If they dare to challenge the authority of the Tang Dynasty, they will not be able to become a vassal state. Let them, like the Turks, become the subjects of the Tang Dynasty."
Lu Dongzan began to panic. This was not what the Tang Dynasty had said before. The Tang Dynasty sent a large army just to teach Tuyuhun a lesson. As for the destruction of the country, it was not mentioned at all.
If Tuyuhun is destroyed, Tubo will face the threat of the Tang Dynasty.
Big trouble!
Then, Li Ke sighed and said, "It's just that Datang currently doesn't have this ability!"
"The climate on the plateau is cold, the war horses on the Tuyuhun Plateau are excellent, and the people are fierce. When the Tang Dynasty went to fight them, they ran away. When the Tang army returned to the court, they came back..."
"Chaozhong also has a headache now!"
"Prime Minister, I have an immature suggestion. I don't know whether to take it seriously or not."
"Otherwise, Tubo sends troops to teach this rebellious son of Tang Dynasty a lesson, so that Tang Dynasty will not have to send troops." BIquGe.biz
Lu Dongzan frowned, and now he began to not believe this guy.
Just now, the power of the Tang Dynasty was blown to the sky, but now it is impossible to defeat Tuyuhun.
What about the liar?
"You are dissatisfied. If the Tang Dynasty really sends troops to capture Tuyuhun, what will happen to Tubo and the Tang Dynasty?"
"Is the Tang Dynasty fighting against Tubo, or is Tubo fighting against the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Ke added another sentence.
"I believe that Tuyuhun's existence is the best state."
Lu Dongzan immediately said: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable."
"The foreign minister will send a letter to my family, Zanpu, and ask them to teach Tuyuhun a lesson."
Li Ke grabbed Lu Dongzan and said with a smile: "What I am saying is that my little brother in the Tang Dynasty cannot be beaten by others, unless he is one of his own."
"If Tubo recognizes that it is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, it can beat this idiot."
In fact, Songtsen Gampo had long wanted to recognize Datang as his boss and wanted to use Datang to rise, but Li Shimin was not a fool and did not agree at all.
Now that he said this, Songtsen Gampo immediately sent envoys to recognize Datang as the suzerain state.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether you recognize it or not. The main thing is that Tubo wants to establish trade relations with Datang.
Especially after they saw other countries establishing trade relations with Datang, they became very rich. However, Tubo could only buy things from Datang at high prices from other countries, but could not buy them directly from Datang.
As long as you recognize the suzerainty, if you dare to go back on your word and send troops to Tibet from the Tang Dynasty, you will be beating your own son.
If Tubo could help the Tang Dynasty to fight Tuyuhun this time, the Tang Dynasty could easily take back the Tuyuhun and scold Tubo and ask them to compensate.
Little brother of the Tang Dynasty, do you dare to attack Tubo?
"Your Majesty, the foreign ministers dare not make the decision regarding the issue of this vassal state. They can only make a decision by going back and reporting it to Zampu personally."
Li Ke smiled and said: "After Tubo recognizes its status as a vassal state, it will be able to establish foreign trade relations with the Tang Dynasty. This is the best of both worlds. The Prime Minister can drink such strong liquor every day."
"Oh, by the way, I wonder if Zamp is interested in doing business?"
Lu Dongzan's eyes lit up and he asked, "May I ask the prince, what kind of business is this?"
"This is the wine and tea business. I have a branch in Liangzhou, which can continuously provide goods to the prime minister."
"The Prime Minister only needs to open a trade route and reach Liangzhou, and then he can transport fine wine and tea to all parts of the plateau."
“This could make a lot of money!”
Lu Dongzan's eyes were shining, but he also knew that pie would not fall from the sky. He asked with a smile: "May I ask the King of Shu, what are the conditions?"
"The profits earned are divided into 20% and 80%, and I only need 20%."
"Okay, the foreign minister agreed to this."
"Hahaha, happy to cooperate."
Li Ke turned to Haizhu and said: "From today on, all the food, drinks and entertainment of the Prime Minister will be recorded in my account."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
However, what Lu Dongzan didn't know was that several of his subordinates were also invited to drink, and they also concluded another more profitable business, and it was a micro-business model.
