Seeing that the other party didn't understand, Du Shaoqing deliberately showed a greedy face and gestured slightly: "This official was born as a businessman before he came out, so Your Majesty asked me to come mainly to discuss this wedding and dowry." ”Oh Lu Dongzan remembered for a moment, the intelligence said that this Du Shaoqing was born as a businessman, with a mercenary nature, and it was said that he also extorted a large sum of money from Goguryeo in Hebei Province, what?
This time, we are in Tibet, and we are second in Goguryeo?
Ready to blackmail us?"
Oh, this should be, we have already submitted the gift list of the dowry, I don't know what objections the Datang side has?
Do you think we are giving less dowry?
”Lu Dongzan asked.Du Shaoqing hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, this is not, Tubo is in the bitter cold land of the southwest, fifty truckloads of goods are transported thousands of miles, not to mention how much, this hard work is enough to see the sincerity, what I want to say is not the amount of your dowry, but our dowry, I don't know what the prime minister thinks?"
”Lu Dongzan shook his head with a reasonable look and said: "If the family affair is promoted, the dowry is your country's business, and your country, as the princess's mother's family, as long as the heart is there, don't let the surrounding small countries see the jokes, we will not mix in Tibet." ”This is really tactful, Du Shaoqing scolded secretly, on the one hand, he said not to interfere, and on the other hand, he said that he would not let the surrounding small countries see the jokes, is this not clear whether it is too little?
But what did Du Shaoqing do?
He deliberately came to dismantle the stage, so he also laughed and said: "That's not it, all the small countries around me respect my Datang, who dares to see our Datang's jokes?"
The fate of Goguryeo is proof of this, and it is very reassuring. ”"Hehe, I heard that Shaoqing also made a name for himself on the battlefield in Hebei, and there is a way to be a hero out of a young man, disrespectful and disrespectful!"
Lu Dongzan touted, scolding in his heart, we haven't blackmailed Datang yet, but you have already opened your mouth to warn?
Du Shaoqing said with a smile: "There is a habit in our hometown, that is, when the man marries, not only the dowry, but also the dowry. ”What, what?
Lu Dongzan was surprised: "Shaoqing is not wrong?
If I'm not mistaken, do you want us to buy a dowry for you?
How?
Datang is such a big country, can't afford his daughter's dowry?
”"That's not it, the main thing is that it's not easy for us to raise a daughter for more than ten years, and you are going to leave our daughter with empty words, which doesn't seem reasonable."
Du Shaoqing asked."
We brought a dowry, fifty carts of goods, and thirty percent of Tubo's income."
Lu Dongzan explained."
No, no, that's not how the account is calculated, you give us a dowry, if we take the dowry and send it back, don't you still spend nothing, and you have to leave the daughter we worked so hard to raise in vain?
If we have a rich dowry, maybe we will still give you money and daughters, and if such a thing spreads, I am afraid that the surrounding small countries will laugh to death.Everyone followed suit to ask for the princess, how many daughters and property of His Majesty the Emperor are not enough to share with the surrounding small countries, do you think this is the truth?
”Du Shaoqing directly stunned Lu Dongzan with a big truth, this kind of money-hungry mother-in-law in later generations was used on the Tubo barbarian, I don't know how he will dismantle it?
Lu Dongzan didn't expect this product to pull out such a crooked reason, it sounds like there is nothing wrong with it, back and forth, Tubo has indeed made money and women, but, but wasn't everyone like this before?
Relying on Datang to make a fortune, Datang also treats each other with courtesy, why is this product here today not like a Datang official, but like a businessman."
That's the truth, but, but marrying a daughter is not a trade in goods, let's join hands in an alliance and make the happy event grand is the key."
Lu Dongzan hesitated."
Of course, but we always have to see your sincerity, you can afford the dowry and dowry, in order to prove that you Tubo has the qualifications to serve the Tang Princess, otherwise the Tang Princess was born in the rich palace, and went to Tubo to suffer and suffer, it is absolutely not good, I am afraid that Your Majesty and the queen are reluctant to let their daughter suffer, and they will not agree to your marriage.Minister, you can't afford to pay the dowry, or you want to make money to covet our return gift, right?
”Du Shaoqing looked at Lu Dongzan playfully.was broken by Dao's scheming, Lu Dongzan immediately changed his face, "What did Shaoqing say?"
Everyone is here for state affairs, why is Shaoqing's mouth full of copper smell?
This matter has changed too much, and we need to discuss it and reply to His Majesty the Tang Emperor again. ”This is the eviction order, Lu Dongzan saw that Du Shaoqing was stirring up the situation, so he wanted to temporarily push this person away, and prepared to start from others, such an idea would definitely not be thought up by the Tang Emperor himself, or the Manchu Dynasty, those people were born in the scholar clan and attached importance to etiquette and despised wealth, and they couldn't let a small Honglu Temple Shaoqing take it down.Du Shaoqing left, and half a day later, Lu Dongzan spread the matter, mainly to the officials he had bribed, and when these people heard it, Datang couldn't even afford his daughter's dowry, so they expressed their dissatisfaction and participated in Du Shaoqing.At this time, Du Shaoqing was reporting to the emperor, Tang Jian knew what he didn't dare to say, Du Shaoqing said it to the emperor again, coupled with the ensuing pressure of public opinion, it just proved that Tubo came for the dowry, not to marry the princess, so it seems that the Tang Dynasty can't be fooled again knowing that it is a conspiracy.Li Er pondered for a moment, and then explained to Du Shaoqing: "Forget it, if you go back to Tubo, just say that Datang refuses to marry his daughter, don't mention this matter again."
Five years ago, they dared to take advantage of the situation to coerce Datang, I was not afraid of them at that time, and now that Datang is rich and strong, I am even more afraid of them. ”So half a day apart, Du Shaoqing saw Lu Dongzan again, this Tubo minister didn't expect that this young man in front of him was so trusted by the emperor, not only able to ignore the participation of many courtiers, but also to cross the Honglu Temple Zhengqing to convey the holy will, it seems that this person is not simple."
Shaoqing, I'm afraid that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has misunderstood, we have just discussed the result, and we are ready to agree to Datang's request, and agree that the dowry will also be paid by our side, as long as Datang can marry a princess to us."
Lu Dongzan changed his words.Now it's Du Shaoqing's turn to understand, all such conditions are agreed?
Could it be that I guessed wrong, these people didn't come for money?
But then Lu Dongzan said again: "In order to show our determination to marry the princess, we are ready to build a luxurious palace on the high mountain to serve the noble princess of the Tang Dynasty.It's just that although we have the people's power in Tibet, the craftsmen can't, so we still need the Tang Dynasty to send some skilled craftsmen to help guide the construction. ”Lu Dongzan calculated very well, the money can be out, if you can't get the princess's dowry, then use a pretense to change the way, as long as the Tang Dynasty agrees to help build the palace, then there are countless talents in it, and Tubo can also use it to strengthen the national strength.
