The 852nd Songtsen Gampo's Jealousy
Songtsen Gampo looked at Li Chengqian silently. Whether it was because of the rebellious mentality of a young man or the reservedness of being the lord of a country, he wanted him to kneel on the ground like a dog and beg for mercy. He could not do this, and if Li Chengqian really asked him to do this, he would rather die calmly.
Tubo's national strength was lower than that of the Tang Dynasty, so he could put himself in a position lower than that of the Tang Dynasty. As a prisoner under the ranks, Songtsen Gampo also knew that he had no right to ask for anything, but he still knew that the saying that a soldier could kill but not be humiliated. Sometimes face is more important than life.
Li Chengqian saw stubbornness in Songtsen Ganbu's eyes. As smart as him, he would not force him too much. He just shook his head and smiled indifferently: "Songzan, I know you are a hero, and the environment of Tubo restricts your development. Of course, maybe you have other reasons, but I don't care about these things. I just want to know what you would do if I let you go."
However, Songzan Gampo's thoughts did not seem to be on Li Chengqian's question. He just hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, Songzan was fascinated by profit for a while, and even suffered a defeat today. Songzan had nothing to say about this. But no matter what, please consider Songzan's request. I still want to ask to marry the Princess of the Tang Dynasty."
I'm going there, how can I be so thief-hearted. I still want to marry a princess if I'm like this?
The old man's daughter is still young and is not yet at the age of getting married. If the old man's daughters, that is, their aunts, are of the age appropriate, but in this way, the bastard in front of him will be older than him?
Li Chengqian complained in his heart, but he was silent on the surface. He just shook his head and said, "It's not that the Tang Dynasty princess cannot marry, but the Tang Dynasty princess will never marry. If you want to marry the Tang Dynasty princess, then you can only stay in Chang'an in your life. Are you willing?"
Of course he didn't want to. Songtsen Gampo's eyes tightened. He never expected that Li Chengqian would have such an arrangement. For a woman he had never met before, he would stay in Chang'an forever for the rest of his life. This was definitely not what he wanted. The purpose of asking for a princess of the Tang Dynasty was actually for the sake of face, and Songtsen Gampo's own status in Tubo and Tubo's status in neighboring countries.
Of course, it would be even better if we could get some benefits from the dowry of the Tang Dynasty, which was advanced technology in agriculture and industry.
Looking at Songzan Gampo's expression, Li Chengqian smiled: "Everyone says that the royal family is ruthless, and royal women cannot have their own love. I think this sentence is wrong. Songzan, what do you think?"
As long as everyone knows, Songtsen Gampo could not stay in Chang'an for a Tang Dynasty princess, even if he married Changle to him. So Li Chengqian didn't expect Songtsen Gampo to agree to his conditions at all. Seeing that his expression changed a lot, he took the initiative to change the topic.
"It is a blessing for a princess of the Tang Dynasty to have a brother like Your Highness!" Songtsen Gampo looked at Li Chengqian seriously for a moment, and found that the prince of the Tang Dynasty seemed to be not lying to him, so he couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of his heart.
However, this admiration is not aimed at Li Chengqian's care for the royal woman, but his passion. Only when a country is so strong that it is not afraid of any threat from neighboring countries will it be confident that it will be said that I will not be in harmony!
Songtsen Gampo was very envious of Li Chengqian, envious of his good father, envious of his father's life. In his opinion, Li Chengqian was born in a honeypot and was born with a golden key in his mouth. When he caused trouble, his father wiped his butt, and relied on his father to act as a mighty man. If it weren't for Li Er, how could this kid sit high and talk to him like this?
But what can I do? They just have a good father, they were born in the rich and powerful Tang Dynasty. The fate is so unfair that they can't even be jealous. If they want to be jealous, they can't fight with their father; if they can't fight with their national strength, they can't fight with their abilities; if they can compete with their abilities, they may be able to compare with each other... A deep sense of powerlessness surged from the bottom of their hearts, making Songtsen Gampo feel bored at a certain moment.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about these things that make people feel boring. Why don't we talk about the topic just now? If I let you leave, what would you do?" After a circle, Li Chengqian rewindled the topic again.
"Does Your Highness mean to let everyone go?" Songtsen Gampo asked in a deep voice.
He didn't want to go back to Tubo alone to be a commander of a bare body, otherwise he would be better off dying in the Tang Dynasty.
"Of course, except for Geal Dongzan, you can choose the others. Whoever you choose will go back with you." Li Chengqian said meaningfully.
"Why?" Songtsen Gampo asked in confusion.
"Because...I like it!" Li Chengqian's answer almost made Songtsen Gampo vomit blood.
How awesome is to have a good father? If it weren't for Ruo Dajiangshan left by your father, why would you talk to me like this? The depressed Songtsen Gampo cursed in his heart and then asked: "Why did Your Highness leave Geer alone?"
"I like it again!" Li Chengqian smiled with a dog-loving expression on his face, "Tell me, what do you plan to do after you go back? I can give you the person, and I can give you the soldier, but what will you repay me? It's not a bite, right?"
"Songzan's promise, can your highness trust you?" Songzan Gampo thought of many answers in an instant, but finally chose the most unreliable rhetorical question.
"I respect you as a hero, so I will choose to believe you once. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't keep your promises. If I can defeat you the first time, I will definitely defeat you the second time. It's not so easy for you to go back again." Li Chengqian said confidently. He didn't believe Songtsen Gampo, but he had to force himself to believe him.
There was no one under his command, and a lot of plans were placed there, but no one was going to implement them. This was an embarrassing problem. In such a situation, he had to force himself to believe that Songtsen Gampo would keep his promise.
At this point when the conversation went on, Songtsen Gampo had already believed that Li Chengqian would not kill him, but despite this, he was still very curious about why this was happening. Based on his judgment of the prince of the Tang Dynasty, this person would never be someone who would let his enemies go so easily.
Thinking of this, Songzan Gampo couldn't help but feel curious and asked happily: "Your Highness won't let me go so easily, right? Can Songzan ask, what is your purpose?"
