Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1971 The emperor finds fault, Jinyang is considerate

The wages of avarice is death.

People in the world are bustling with each other for fame and fortune. For fame and fortune, some people can kill their wives and abandon their children, and some people can sell their friends for glory.

As the Prime Minister of Tubo, Lu Dongzan is known as the number one wise man in Tubo, how can he solve this puzzle?
A secret recipe of highland barley wine caused a lot of money to flow into Tubo, not only the nobles of Tubo made a lot of money, but also the people at the bottom. Since he cut off the food storage in Tubo, he was resented by the nobles why he spread the secret recipe and failed to become a family fortune. He is also happy.

But if one tries to monopolize the profits of tea, then one is cutting off one's own foundation and standing on the opposite side of all Tubo. The crazy bonus is enough to make people take risks. Those Tubo nobles will definitely cut off his head and hang it on the Red Mountain in the Potala Palace. In front of the palace...

Lu Dongzan said with a wry smile: "Erlang don't want to harm me. If Erlang is really interested, you might as well cooperate with Zanpu for a while. When I was in love, Zanpu expressed his admiration and love for Erlang many times, and he only hated Tiangaolu In order to win the princess of the Tang Dynasty, Zanpu gathered almost all the craftsmen in Tubo and built a huge palace on the Red Mountain. It was beautiful, solemn and sacred. Datang categorically refused, but Zanpu spent all the money and food in the Tubo treasury, and now Zanpu's life is extremely difficult."

He looked at Fang Jun with a gloomy gaze, which inevitably contained resentment.

Tubo bet everything on marriage and moved the capital from Pibo City in the Shannan area to Luoxie. While integrating the various ministries of Tubo, it spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and built the huge Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, etc. The building, to demonstrate the supreme majesty of Zanpu, has almost spent the last grain and silk in the treasury...

As long as the marriage can be successful and the two countries form an alliance, they will naturally receive a generous gift from the Tang Dynasty. The dowry of the Princess of the Tang Dynasty is enough to enrich the Tubo treasury again. , Classified books will make Tubo's national power get a qualitative leap!
However, all the plans turned out to be in vain.

Datang refuses to marry...

Fang Jun smiled, noncommittal to Lu Dongzan's words.

Give the right to trade tea to Songtsen Gampo?
Help him unify Tubo, suppress various ministries, gain supreme authority, and then use a knife against Datang?
I want to drop the beauty...

Instead of giving Songtsan Gampo a chance to grow stronger, Fang Jun even intended to advise His Majesty Li Er to distribute the trading rights of tea, silk, and porcelain to the leaders of various tribes in Tubo. Only when these leaders have money can they recruit troops. Threat to Songtsen Gampo's rule.

In the Tang Dynasty, no one knows better than Fang Jun, a traveler, what a powerful and strategic monarch Songtsan Gampo is. It is he who has consolidated the foundation of Tubo and established the national policy of Tubo, making our ancestors live in the barren and bitter cold for generations. The Tubo people in the land, riding horses and carrying knives, rushed into the land of the Han people...

……

The two were chatting slowly, seeming to be the same, but they were testing each other. This is how smart people get together. They will never meet each other openly and honestly. pit.

As a result, before the food was served, a servant came to report that the emperor had arrived...

Fang Jun got up quickly and greeted him at the door, Lu Dongzan naturally did not dare to neglect, got up and straightened his robes, followed closely behind.

When he was about to reach the door, Fang Jun heard a clear and beautiful voice in his ear, and called out sweetly: "Brother-in-law!"

Fang Jun's heart trembled, and his whole body trembled...

Then I saw Princess Jinyang stepping into the hall briskly, wearing a splendid palace dress, her childish face was still young and beautiful. It looks lively and playful.

With her hands behind her back, her small body walked in with a bouncing bouncing...

Seeing Fang Jun, Princess Jinyang's eyes lit up, and a surge of joy from the heart surged up, which turned into an irresistible sweet smile, and then saw Lu Dongzan with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks behind Fang Jun, his smile froze, and immediately Squeeze away, the hired Tingting stood there with slightly lowered eyebrows, looking dignified and virtuous.

Fang Jun was amused, took two steps forward, and said, "I have seen His Highness Jinyang."

Lu Dongzan didn't know Princess Jinyang at first, but when he heard Fang Jun's name, he immediately knew that this beautiful and beautiful woman was the most beloved daughter of the Tang Emperor, so he didn't dare to neglect her, so he hurriedly paid respects, and the Chinese characters in his mouth were correct. The tone is round: "Foreign minister, Lu Dongzan, Prime Minister of Tubo, has an audience with His Royal Highness Princess Datang."

Regarding Fang Jun's salute, Princess Jinyang only gave a faint "hmm" from her straight and white Qiong's nose, but when it came to Lu Dongzan's big gift, she hurriedly held back Wanfu, and said: "This palace has also seen you." Your Majesty, your Majesty is very polite."

She has a slender figure and a bright face. Although she is a little younger, her etiquette is quite satisfactory, and she looks good, showing excellent royal etiquette.

Lu Dongzan smiled very kindly, and the creases on his face seemed to be flattened by an iron: "Your Highness, you are so polite, foreign ministers are ashamed, ashamed, ashamed."

At this time, a deep voice sounded from the door: "Hey, the prime minister is here?"

Immediately afterwards, His Majesty Li Er, wearing a set of royal blue brocade robes, walked into the hall and stood beside Princess Jinyang.

"My minister has seen His Majesty..."

"Lu Dongzan sees His Majesty the Emperor..."

Fang Jun and Lu Dongzan hurriedly saluted.

"Let's be flat. Hehe, as expected of Tubo Prime Minister, he has a broad mind. This stick is hated by people in Chang'an, and everyone avoids it. On the contrary, Chang'an is prosperous. It's really cool to come to this mountain to meet him. It's admirable."

Fang Jun was speechless and secretly rolled his eyes.

It is obvious that the emperor is here to find fault, but at least there are outsiders around, can we save some face?

Lu Dongzan still bowed his body slightly, his old face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile: "I am a foreign minister, and I am a barbarian who has transformed into a barbarian. Naturally, it is much worse than the Chang'an dignitaries who are knowledgeable and courteous. I dare not be your majesty with a broad mind. It's just that the dignitaries in Chang'an are too enthusiastic, and I can't stand it, so I have to go out of the city to take refuge and take advantage of Erlang's treasure to hide for leisure, Your Majesty laughed at me."

His Majesty Li Er laughed loudly, walked into the lobby, patted Lu Dongzan on the shoulder, and said: "The prime minister can still speak, but you need to be more careful. This kid is a ghost, sitting at home It can harm countless people, if he accidentally tricked him, wouldn't the Prime Minister blame me, Tang, for not knowing how to treat guests?"

After saying this, he went directly to the tea table and sat down cross-legged, without the majesty of an emperor, and he didn't even bother to pay attention to etiquette, and waved to Princess Jinyang: "Prince, come sit down and chat with me. Sis, come here Pour tea for the emperor and the great minister."

"Here!"

Princess Jinyang obediently responded, raised her eyes and glanced at the depressed Fang Jun, with a slight smile on the corners of her pink lips, she lifted her skirt and came to His Majesty Li Er, knelt down and sat down, The slender waist was straightened, and the slender hands were nimbly and gracefully brewing tea.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lu Dongzan thanked him, then stepped forward and knelt down opposite His Majesty Li Er.

Fang Jun touched his nose and looked at the beam, full of depression.The emperor didn't let him sit, he didn't dare to sit, he couldn't even leave, otherwise it would be a crime of disrespect, it might be fine in ordinary times, but at this moment, after all, with Lu Dongzan present, he couldn't make a joke of a barbarian...

Princess Jinyang made tea with slender hands like a saucer, and then lifted the teapot and poured the tea into the black pottery cups. One cup was brought to Li Erbi, and the other to Lu Dongzan, and then another cup was filled, and gently pushed Going to the side of the coffee table, raised his eyes, looked at Fang Jun with a smile, and said crisply: "Brother-in-law, please have some tea."

Fang Jun, who was still depressed at first, smiled instantly, and responded happily: "Oh!"

Then he went to the coffee table and knelt down, took a sip from the teacup, and praised: "Your Highness's skill in making tea is unmatched in the world! Your Majesty is blessed. It is really enviable to have His Highness serving you and Cheng Huan at your knees." world!"

His Majesty Li Er snorted dissatisfiedly, and scolded: "Full of flattery and no integrity, you are really a traitor!"

Fang Jun bowed his body slightly, and said happily: "My minister is guilty."

He said he was guilty, but there was no sign of guilt on his face, holding the teacup in his hand, sipping it in small sips, closing his eyes and showing a look of intoxication, he didn't care about the emperor's scolding.

Just saying "brother-in-law drinks tea" made His Majesty Li Er let his thoughts fall through, and resolved his depression. All these years, he has not hurt this sister-in-law in vain!

What are two words of flattery?
If it weren't for worrying about Princess Jinyang's thin skin, Fang Jun is confident that he can blow out a flower...
