Hearing the palace, Du Shaoqing suddenly understood, it turned out that the legendary Potala Palace came from like this!
Regarding Lu Dongzan's request, Du Shaoqing was noncommittal, but asked with interest: "I don't know what the scale of the palace that the prime minister wants to build?"
How many skilled craftsmen are needed?
”"We are ready to use our national strength to build a giant palace with more than a dozen floors to show our sincerity, as for the craftsmen, I am afraid that all kinds of needs are needed, carpenters, stonemasons, blacksmiths, construction masters, etc., all need the guidance of the Tang Dynasty in the past."
Well, hearing this, Du Shaoqing finally figured out the true intention of these people, that is, they came to this, what kind of marriage building and so on are all pretexts, Tang Jian said that there were at least hundreds of entourage craftsmen who accompanied the marriage when he introduced the marriage, and he didn't care about it at the time, but now it seems that this Tubo monarch and minister have a good vision, unlike these rotten Confucian people in the Tang Dynasty who focus on etiquette and law, and despise science and technology, and people already know that science and technology are strong.Du Shaoqing directly rejected the other party, saying that he was here to convey the holy will and refuse to kiss, and after speaking, he turned around and left, went straight to the palace, explained the benefits, and suggested that the emperor closely investigate what the more than 1,000 people from Tubo have been doing for so many days, whether someone is secretly stealing the secrets of the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty.At this time, someone sent a message to Lu Dongzan, this old fox didn't expect to be tricked by a little boy Du Shaoqing, and he also felt that his old face was dull, so he designed a poisonous plan to deal with Du Shaoqing.In the Honglu Temple, a worship post was sent to Du Shaoqing, which said that Lu Dongzan invited Du Shaoqing, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, to talk about it in Chang'an Juxian Building.Tang Jian persuaded: "This guy knows that you can't be bought, this is a Hongmen banquet, it's better not to go." ”Du Shaoqing said confidently: "Now Your Majesty is investigating the traces of the Tubo group, you can't be too tough, you must stabilize them, I often go to Juxian Building, there is our home field, I am not afraid of their conspiracies." ”So Du Shaoqing still swaggered away, and he went to the banquet alone, and Lu Dongzan and the deputy envoy on the upper floor of Juxian had been waiting for a long time."
I don't know why you asked me out?
If it's still a matter of courtship, then there's no need to speak, I can't be the master. ”Du Shaoqing famously said.Lu Dongzan waved his hand and said: "No, no, I won't talk about business today, I am here for private affairs."
I heard that Shaoqing is a rare miracle doctor in the Tang Dynasty, and he also cured the plague in Hebei, and we have admired it for a long time.Although Tibet is a bitter cold place, we are rich in good medicines, and we have brought some today, and I want the divine doctor to taste one or two. ”The deputy envoy handed over two wooden boxes, Du Shaoqing opened them and took a look, good things, the best cordyceps, if this box is exchanged for the same gold, it will be a big profit.The other box is even more extraordinary, it turns out to be a snow lotus?
This thing is produced on the plateau at an altitude of 4,000 meters, and it is not easy to pick and store, so there are only two flowers in this box, both of which are good medicines."
It is indeed a good medicine that is blessed with abundant abundance in Tibet, and it is of the highest quality!"
Du Shaoqing praised."
Okay, I can get the praise of the divine doctor, it seems that I can get my hands on it, and these two boxes of things are given to the divine doctor."
Lu Dongzan said briskly.Du Shaoqing excused himself and said: "If you don't have any merit, please take it back." ”Lu Dongzan explained: "The noble character of the divine doctor is admirable, and we sent this out to ask for something.Because of the remote geography of Tibet, although there are good medicines produced, there are too few people with discerning eyes, so these things can only be wasted in the wilderness.I heard that the doctor is a businessman, so we want the doctor to help, if you can, you send someone to Tubo to buy these medicinal materials, not only can you use them here, but we people in Tubo can also benefit from this, killing two birds with one stone, I don't know how this matter?
”Du Shaoqing couldn't guess that these two guys were looking for themselves to drink to talk about business, but if what they said was true, then this business was really good, "In business, how do you say the price?"
”"One hundred pounds of cordyceps, one tael of silver for snow lotus."
The deputy envoy said."
It's too expensive, even if I buy it, we Datang people can't afford it, and the price will be halved."
Du Shaoqing bargained, he felt that he was not a doctor anymore, he was a full profiteer, one hundred and one catties of Cordyceps was equivalent to four hundred yuan a catty in later generations, you must know that the future generations sold Cordyceps were sold on grams, on pieces, on catties This is the price of cabbage, but he still has to bargain."
Deal!"
Lu Dongzan and the deputy envoy looked at each other and nodded in unison, so refreshing, Du Shaoqing felt that it was too fake?
Is there no cost for your herbs to be harvested by hand?"
Come on, come on, I have thanked the divine doctor on behalf of the people of Tibet, if no one buys it, our people will not see a penny for working in the mountains every day."
Lu Dongzan raised his glass of thanks.Du Shaoqing also accepted two boxes of medicinal materials, and the three of them really began to drink, but Du Shaoqing didn't drink, and the other party didn't force him, so he replaced the wine with tea, and they talked to each other very happily.Not to mention, this Lu Dongzan is a talent, although he came out of a small border country, but he is definitely not without knowledge, listening to his story of the deeds of the Xiangxiong country in the west of Tubo, Du Shaoqing was also very surprised.But when the wine was over three rounds and the five flavors of the dishes, something happened, Lu Dongzan suddenly foamed at the mouth, his face turned blue, and he fell to the ground and passed out.Du Shaoqing was stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to reach out to check the other party's situation, this was obviously highly poisoned, but what happened?
It's clear that the three of us are drinking, where did the poison come from?
Could it be that this product deliberately touched porcelain?
But did you eat it yourself with a strong poison?
The deputy envoy was also stunned, reached out and touched the small pill in his arms, and then looked at the big picture who fell to the ground, this is not right, the plan is not like this, isn't it discussed, when the time is ripe, I will eat the poison to frame Du Shaoqing?
Are you afraid that I will miss it?
Then he immediately began to cooperate and shout: "Killed, Du Shaoqing killed someone, Datang officials murdered people for money." ”Du Shaoqing kicked him to the ground, "Don't you want to die if you touch porcelain?"
If the treatment is delayed any longer, this thing will die. ”In just a few breaths, Lu Dongzan's breath became sluggish, and Du Shaoqing wanted to use a silver needle to detoxify it, but the silver needle immediately turned black when it was pierced, which showed the poison was fierce."
I'm so cruel to myself, I have to say admiration to you."
Du Shaoqing praised, and was about to take out a first-aid pill to feed the other party, Juxianlou rushed up a group of Wuhou, it turned out that a group of Wuhou happened to be passing by at this time, and heard the shouts upstairs.Coincidentally, this group of martial marquis came up to inquire and interrupted Du Shaoqing's diagnosis and treatment, and just at the stall where Du Shaoqing stood up and wanted to explain, the deputy envoy of Tubo pounced on Lu Dongzan, covertly groped for the antidote that had been prepared a long time ago, and quietly fed Lu Dongzan while crying.This antidote was originally intended to be poisoned by the deputy envoy, if Du Shaoqing couldn't save it, Lu Dongzan fed the deputy envoy to detoxify.But who knew that this medicine was useless, when Du Shaoqing and Wuhou revealed their identities, Lu Dongzan on the ground actually bled and died of poison, and his neck was crooked!
When the deputy envoy saw it, he didn't know where it was bad, and immediately yelled angrily: "You, you, the Tang Dynasty murdered our Tubo Xiangguo, you wait, I, Tubo, must find you for justice." ”At this time, Du Shaoqing also believed, this is not Lu Dongzan touching porcelain, but he and the Tubo envoys have been calculated, Tubo Xiangguo died in front of him, I am afraid that it will go to the court, and it is no different from dying in his own hands.
