Fu An took two gilded invitations, and the two of them quickly took them with both hands and put them into their sleeves, knowing that they would definitely be there to enjoy the King of Shu's wedding banquet.
Then, the three of them started drinking again.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Li Ke started to shake his head, and Tang Jian was even more confused. Bozan's drinking capacity was okay, and he tried to remind himself that he must not get drunk. If he was drunk, he might not be able to go back.
But he still couldn't resist the power of the strong drink and fell to the ground after all.
Fu An saw that Bo Zan was drunk, but whether he was pretending or really drunk, the young master had no ill intentions towards this person today.
So he asked them to carry Buzan back to his residence together.
Li Ke stood up slowly, as if nothing happened. In fact, what he drank was not strong wine at all, but mash water.
But what Buzan and Tang Jian drank was real liquor.
"Wake me up, Master Tang. How can I still be the Minister of Honglu Temple?"
Half an hour later, Tang Jian returned to the room tremblingly. As a result, the King of Shu was sitting on a futon drinking tea as if nothing had happened, while the young lady next to him was playing the melodious music of the piano.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu..."
"Master Tang, do you know what to do next?"
Tang Jian: "???"
How to do it? The King of Shu confused him. According to his usual thinking, the King of Shu should give Bozan a warning, or hold a Hongmen Banquet to force Bozan to agree to the Tang Dynasty's request.
No matter how bad it is, you can still argue with Buzan and talk to Buzan!
As a result, the King of Shu just drank and didn't mention a word about compensation.
Now ask him how to do it. How does he know how to do it?
"Your Highness, please make it clear, I am stupid!"
"Fu An, I'm leaving first, tell him..." Li Ke snorted, who is this?
You don’t know what you do. Negotiations must maximize interests. Don’t you even understand this?
Li Ke left, Tang Jian looked confused and almost went crazy in his heart.
Fu An stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master Tang, you are also a veteran in the negotiation field. Why have you forgotten the basic rules?"
"Please also ask Commander Fu to make it clear."
"Why did my Highness give you this invitation?"
"The people attending His Highness's wedding this time are either rich or noble. Those people are beyond your imagination. The gifts they brought are probably something Mr. Tang has never seen before in his life."
"To tell you the truth, His Highness is a little Taoist master, and several Buddhist masters are following His Highness to show their courtesy."
"Five surnames and seven looks, the wealthy royal families of Shandong, all want to use this wedding to give His Highness something to ease the conflict..."
"The great scholars from Shandong have also arrived in Chang'an City, accompanying the current head of the Kong family. They are living in the world of heaven and earth, waiting to attend His Highness's wedding!"
"The envoys sent by the countries in the Western Regions have arrived in Chang'an. It is said that the treasures brought this time are all peerless treasures. Even Songtsen Gampo on the plateau also sent envoys to bring very precious gifts."
"As for the other small neighboring countries, they all want to come, but they are probably not qualified to enter the wedding venue."
Tang Jian: "..."
Tang Jian kept swallowing his saliva. He really didn't expect that His Highness the King of Shu, who was harmless to humans and animals, was actually a little heavenly master of Taoism. He also didn't expect that Buddhist and Confucian people in charge would come in person.
No wonder there are rumors outside that the King of Shu is the Living King of Hell. Isn’t this the Living King of Hell?
These people want you to die at the third watch. Who can keep you until the fifth watch?
"Master Tang, do you understand what King Shu wants you to do?"
At this time, Tang Jian still didn't understand that the King of Shu wanted Bozan to give him a gift.
Before the negotiation, Buzan was deceived and bankrupted.
Buzan represents Tuyuhun and is the prince of Tuyuhun. With less money, how can he have face and not be laughed at by envoys from other countries?
Especially Tubo, who might directly press Buzan to the ground and rub him.
"Commander Fu, I understand. I will go find Bozan and continue drinking."
Tang Jian pondered for a moment, but he was still worried. He was the Minister of Honglu Temple, and he was in charge of this negotiation. The negotiation could not be concluded for a long time, and His Majesty asked him to blame him. It was him who was unlucky!
"Commander Fu, I would like to ask what His Highness the King of Shu thinks about compensation. I would also like to ask Commander Fu to tell me, so that I can have some confidence in my mind."
"Don't worry about this. His Highness has said that Tuyuhun will never take out his war horses easily, unless the Heavenly Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and Chen Bing are on the border."
"The plateau war horses are the lifeblood of Tuyuhun, and if they sacrifice the plateau war horses, Tubo will immediately go to war with Tuyuhun."
"Because Tang Dynasty got the plateau war horse, Tubo will definitely be in bad luck."
Tang Jian thought for a moment and felt sad. Could it be that he had been negotiating for so many days in vain?
"Master Tang, come here, the young master has an order for you..."
Tang Jian immediately turned over.
"Bozan is the most important person in Tuyuhun, even more important than Fu Yun, so His Highness means that he cannot be used by us. After the gift is given, we can send him to the West to see the Buddha."
"It is absolutely impossible for him to return to Tuyuhun alive."
Tang Jian took a breath and clenched his fists. He was shocked in his heart. His Highness the King of Shu was so cruel. It turned out that he didn't want to negotiate with Bozan at all, but was dragging Bozan with him.
But poor Prince Buzan is still stalling for time, waiting for things to turn around.
Ten minutes in the evening.
Buzan finally woke up and his subordinates gave him sobering soup, but his head was still dizzy.
However, seeing that the King of Shu did not make things difficult for him, he breathed a long sigh of relief. But what surprised him was that the King of Shu did not mention a word about compensation.
"Prince, Master Tang is here."
What is he here for?
But Buzan still got up and went out to greet him.
Tang Jian, holding the wine vat and smelling of alcohol, stumbled to Buzan: "Prince Buzan, you...are not a friend enough!"
"Our Highness is so hospitable, but you left early. After I woke up, I found you in trouble and came to drink..."
The boy who was following him looked embarrassed and apologized quickly: "My lord drank too much. Please forgive me, Prince."
Buzan's heart moved, and he immediately smiled and said: "Master Tang, I am too drunk to drink, and I am also drunk. Since Master Tang is here, I am here to entertain guests, so let's not get drunk tonight."
Bozan winked and asked someone to help Tang Jian into the house, and then dismissed the boy.
The two of them were sitting next to the table. Only the drunken Tang Jian and Buzan were in the room.
"Master Tang, you are drunk."
"I'm not drunk, I can still drink. Bozan, my drinking capacity... Hahaha, it's impossible to be drunk. Don't believe it. How about... let's go to Hualou and pick out a few girls. I'll go out. money……"
Tang Jian was usually cautious in his words and deeds. He was a serious Confucian disciple, and he would never say such things in front of others.
A smile appeared on Buzan's face.
"Lord Tang, I would like to ask, how many war horses does Tang want?"
Tang Jian raised his head and almost squinted his eyes: "This is a secret, it cannot be said or revealed..."
Buzan: "..."
"What's secret about this? No matter how many horses there are, I have to agree to it."
"It's not much. Your Majesty said, 60,000 horses, not one less. If one less, I'll send a large army to teach you Tuyuhun a lesson."
Buzan: "..."
"However, for the time being, the King of Shu is getting married. His Majesty is happy. He doesn't pay attention to your bad things. At the same time, he went to scold Songtsen Gampo."
"Do you know the true identity of my King of Shu? I was shocked when I heard that..."
Buzan quickly asked: "What is it?"
"Humph, I won't tell you. His Highness said that although we are friends, we must have different hearts if we are not of my race!"
Buzan wanted to pull out his dagger and draw blood from the old man.
"I never expected that His Highness would be a Taoist little heavenly master..."
"Those old bald donkeys from the Buddhist family, huh, still want our Highness to become a monk, there's no way..."
"This time His Highness's wedding is attended by noble people that I have never seen before. Those people are the real noble people!"
"Songtsen Gampo, he is nothing, but he dares to come and give gifts to His Highness? Are there any good things on the plateau..."
As Tang Jian talked, he really fell asleep and started snoring.
call!
Bozan stood up slowly, with a ferocious look on his face. He guessed that there must be a powerful force behind King Shu. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin's third son turned out to be a Taoist little heavenly master.
Taoism is a major religion in the Central Plains, with followers all over the world. Even in Tuyuhun, there are Taoist activities.
And listening to Tang Jian's wishes, the leaders of the Central Plains Buddhist School also wanted to follow the King of Shu.
The Buddhists in Tuyuhun and the Buddhists in the Central Plains are originally from the same family...
Songtsen Gampo even sent envoys and prepared gifts, but he didn't know about it until then.
"The day after tomorrow is the wedding of the King of Shu. This gift must be noble and even priceless, otherwise we really can't afford to lose this person."
"Especially if he is ridiculed by envoys from small countries, Tuyuhun's face will be lost, and everyone in the world will despise Tuyuhun..."
"Come on, come with this prince!"
