Chapter 639
Lu Dongzan bent down and saluted, then said goodbye and left.
The remaining envoys from all over the country looked at each other and suddenly hurriedly bowed to Li Shimin and said loudly: "We must go back and think, and we will definitely answer the questions within six days."
Li Shimin shook his sleeves and said warmly again: "Everything is correct!"
The envoys hurriedly went out and hurriedly left the palace. They kept staring at Lu Dongzan, afraid that this person would escape to Chang'an. Now everyone is in a competitive relationship, and no one wants Lu Dongzan to find the answers.
After a moment, all the envoys bid farewell to each other.
At this time, only the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers were left in the main hall of the court. Fang Xuanling suddenly stepped out and bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty's question is from King Zhao. It's not like there is an answer to the problem. If Lu Dongzan and others cannot find a solution after six days, wouldn't it ruin your Majesty's plan to deceive Tubo and delay time?"
The ministers nodded secretly, all of them agreed. Shangguan Yi stroked his beard and pondered for a long time, and also reminded him: "Your Majesty still needs to make an idea to avoid giving up halfway. Lu Dongzan is a smart person who made a decision, so that he cannot notice that His Highness's army has entered Sichuan..."
But Li Shimin smiled but didn't say anything, and seemed not worried about this.
Queen Changsun suddenly laughed and said proudly: "Don't worry, my son has laid the groundwork. The bad guy is very bad, so he specially invited Teacher Yan..."
The ministers present were stunned and secretly thought about the queen's meaning.
Li Shimin suddenly laughed, swayed his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "Let's retreat, all the ministers, please go back."
The ministers were stunned again, and Fang Xuanling couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, what happened to Lu Dongzan?"
Li Shimin's face was leisurely and said lightly: "Don't do anything, just watch it quietly. If you are anxious in your heart, you can pay attention to watching the envoys of various countries play monkey plays."
The ministers gradually felt at ease and hurriedly bowed and bowed, and everyone respectfully sent the emperor out of the palace and prepared to leave the palace and go home.
Li Shimin took a few steps and suddenly turned around, pondered and said, "Order the left and right Wuwei not to shoot birds out of the city, so that Lu Dongzan will continue to send a letter with Songzan Gampo. This time I even took out the princess as a procrastination, and must not make mistakes in small matters..."
The two generals in the hall quickly agreed, and it was Yuchi Gong and Niu Jinda. One of them was in charge of the left military guard and the other was in charge of the right military guard. The emperor ordered them completely.
But after Lu Dongzan left the palace, he hurriedly returned to Honglu Temple. He closed the door, took out the silk and wrote it quickly, and then went out to call his chief secretary, rolled the written silk into a small scroll, and lowered his voice: "So quickly fly to pass the letter, please Songzan know about this."
The chief's eyes flashed a few times and asked tentatively: "What's the matter?"
Lu Dongzan breathed a sigh of relief and said with annoyance that the princess chose her son-in-law. The chief minister hurriedly said goodbye and hurriedly left and left.
Lu Dongzan also went out and walked all the way to Chang'an City.
On this day, he visited three or four famous scholars and said that Daguo Temple would ask for the famous host. Unfortunately, these people could not answer Mingzhu's difficult question, but instead thought that this question was deliberately making things difficult.
Lu Dongzan didn't think so and continued to visit and find people in Chang'an City. In fact, it was not just him, but also the envoys from various countries. Some even posted a list of recruitment at the entrance of Honglu Temple, saying that as long as someone could help solve the problem, he would definitely give tens of thousands of gold as a thank you.
So the entire Chang'an was inspired, and more and more people knew about the emperor's question of choosing a son-in-law.
Just as all the envoys were running around to find a solution, a team of envoys suddenly entered Chang'an. The team had submitted their letter of nationality four months ago, but it was not until today that they finally arrived in Chang'an.
This country is called Japan.
Four months ago, Han Yue's three guards in the Western Prefecture swept Goguryeo. In that month, two large Japanese ships landed from Silla. The landers traveled all the way north and then turned west. The huge group of envoys explored the appearance of the Tang Dynasty while walking. Hundreds of travel notes were recorded along the way. It took four months to finally arrive in Chang'an.
Along the way, they saw that Goguryeo was pacified by the Tang Dynasty and the prosperity and magic of Chenyang City. The street lights on the street made Japanese envoys envious and jealous, and the river-blocking power plant in the Liaohe River made them linger.
Now that we have arrived in Chang'an, we are in a more urgent mood. The envoys and leaders didn't even have time to go to Honglu Temple to register, so they were impatient to take people around Chang'an City.
When they met the people who were blowing candy on the street, someone immediately took out paper and wrote it down. When they met the mutton steamed bun shop set up a stall on the street, they also recorded it down with paper and notebooks.
They have to go in and go to the iron shop, and they have to buy some silk shops and analyze them carefully. If they meet a shop selling books, they will almost emptie them all, and they don’t care about the high or low money.
This is clearly a way to learn things.
At this time, envoys from various countries were still looking for people to solve problems in Chang'an, and the trend of the emperor using difficult problems to choose son-in-law has spread more and more widely. The news was soon discovered by envoys from Japan, and these people immediately summoned to discuss.
Shortly after the envoys of Japan suddenly visited Lu Dongzan and said in his stiff Chinese: "My envoys have a powerful internal memory and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, which can help you solve the problem.
Lu Dongzan was immediately overjoyed and said anxiously: "If your country can help each other, Tubo will definitely be rewarded."
The eyes of the Japanese envoys flashed. In fact, he also wanted to participate in the princess's son-in-law recruitment. The Tang Dynasty's dowry was enviable, but unfortunately they lost the opportunity when they came late.
This person is obviously greedy, but he refuses to express himself. Instead, he takes Lu Dongzan all the way back to the room and invites an extremely beautiful woman.
It turns out that he was not the envoy leader, the real leader was this woman.
This woman respectfully bowed to Lu Dongzan, but she spoke like a knife on her head, and said with a smile: "Tubo is a famous person of the world. Even if I am far away in Japan, I have heard of it. Unfortunately, you can't solve the problem of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Only the one who solves the problem can be solved. Japan has lost the opportunity to choose a son-in-law this time, but I can help Tubo win the princess, on the condition that the princess' dowry in Japan will be divided equally..."
Lu Dongzan was furious, but then he began to bargain and said proudly: "I only give you 10% of it, 10% is enough to eat in Japan."
The Japanese woman looked casual and said lightly: "If the big face is willing to divide half of it, Tubo can get a princess. If the big face is not willing to divide it, then Tubo will not get a single one. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty set four problems, but you can't even solve the first one. If Songtsen Ganbu cannot marry the Tang Dynasty princess, how can he say that he can get a dowry? If this matter is combined, both benefits will be beneficial, and if the division is shared, they will lose. Da Xiang is a smart person and should know how to choose."
Lu Dongzan stared at her with a deep look. After a long time, he snorted coldly and said, "Greed is too heavy, be careful to choke to death."
The Japanese girl chuckled and said, "No, it's not impossible, but I want to choose muskets and divine arm crossbows."
Lu Dongzan shook his head and snorted angrily: "Twenty percent, I can give you two hundred muskets and divine arm crossbows. As for books, dictionaries and other objects, as well as various technologies from the Tang Dynasty, I can make the decision to let you copy a copy."
The Japanese women's bottom line is obviously exactly like this. They nodded with a smile and said, "Then we will get a deal."
Lu Dongzan's eyes were burning, and suddenly he felt that he had suffered a great loss. He stared at the Japanese girl for a long time and suddenly tentatively said: "I haven't asked your name yet, it's very disrespectful to say."
The Japanese girl smiled but didn't answer. The man next to her who pretended to be the chief envoy and the leader hurriedly said, "This is my most wise woman in Japan, and she is from the blood of a noble man..."
Lu Dongzan's eyes flashed, and nodded meaningfully and said, "It turned out to be Jiahe Yaxiu."
He was the prime minister of Tubo, and his position was the same as Fang Xuanling, the chief minister of the Tang Dynasty. As the prime minister of a country, he had an understanding of the regimes of all countries in the world. Although Japan was far away from overseas, Lu Dongzan still knew some things.
This Japanese woman is indeed named Jiahe Yaxiu, and it is said that she is the smartest woman in Japan. Lu Dongzan suddenly had some expectations and couldn't help but say, "How can that problem be solved?"
Since the agreement was reached, Jiahe Yaxiu naturally would not refuse. Her expression suddenly turned on her face and said directly: "There are nine curves in the pearl, which cannot be passed through by human power. But I have an idea. I can use an ant to tie silk threads and put them next to the hole in the pearl, and then apply honey to the hole on the other side. When the ant hears breathing, it must carry silk threads to penetrate..."
Lu Dongzan thought while listening, suddenly slapped his thighs and said ecstaticly: "This plan is very wonderful, my Tubo has succeeded."
He said that, he hurriedly got up, obviously going to the palace to visit Li Shimin. Jiahe Yaxiu suddenly stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "If you don't want to answer questions, you must bring me with you. I also want to meet the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and listen to what the second problem is."
Lu Dongzan pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
At this time, the envoys from all countries also heard the wind and were all in a tangled face. They were guarding both sides of the gate of Honglu Temple. Lu Dongzan laughed loudly and walked past everyone, and Jiahe Yaxiu also looked proud.
The two went straight to the palace and seemed full of confidence.
Some of the envoys snorted angrily and suddenly said, "Let's follow us, and see how they solve the problem."
This resonated with all the envoys who rushed to the palace.
Unfortunately, after he arrived at the palace to ask for a meeting, Li Shimin suddenly burst into laughter. The emperor asked someone to bring the pearl and praised Lu Dong with a smile: "Look at Tubo clearly, see how small the hole of this pearl is? Do you want to use ants to pass through it. Are there such small ants in the world?"
Lu Dongzan was stunned. If the Japanese envoy was also stunned, the two turned to visit the house and Yaxiu at the same time, but saw that the woman ignored them. Instead, she knelt down in front of Li Shimin in a charming way, and giggled: "I often heard that the emperor is handsome and fell in love with him at first sight today. I would like to recommend myself to serve the pillow and mat, and go to the room with you..."
In front of everyone, this woman dared to hook up with Li Shimin, but Li Shimin was very moved and a gurgling sound came from his throat.
Everyone knows that Li Shimin is lustful. Although Jiahe Yaxiu is a Japanese woman, he seems to have a deep and accurate grasp of the temperament of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
