All countries in the world regard marrying a princess of the Tang Dynasty as a glory, and regard it as a rare political capital. If any subordinate of the Tang Dynasty cannot marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty for the king, it seems that it is a little bit bad and is inferior to others.

Marrying the Princess of the Tang Dynasty was not only a glorious face, but also a closeness to the Tang Dynasty for the country, at least a way to protect itself.

In order to marry the Tang Dynasty princess, Xueyantuo Yinan Khan asked for a betrothal gift regardless of Li Shimin's lion. He traveled thousands of miles, exhausting the people and causing money. This is a clear proof.

This was the case with Xue Yantuo in previous years, and the same is true for today's Tubo. Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan also admired the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and naturally they had long been eager to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty.

After hearing Lu Dongzan's words, Li Shimin first asked: "Last year, because of the unsuccessful marriage, Tubo started the war between the two countries, and today the old things are mentioned again. Why is it?"

Lu Dongzan replied: "Last year, when he was married, he used a war. Zanpu was instigated by a traitor. I, Tubo, had no intention of provoking the Tang Dynasty. I, I, hope your majesty will clearly observe. As for asking for a princess, I, Tubo, have been admired by the Tang Dynasty for a long time. If I can marry a princess in the Tang Dynasty, it is a blessing for my Tubo country. Therefore, foreign ministers are ordered by Zanpu to worship the Tang Dynasty again."

Li Shimin said: "In this way, Tubo invaded Songzhou southwest of the Tang Dynasty last year, was it not to force the princess to marry, or was there another reason?"

Lu Dong praised: "That is true. Foreign ministers regard the princess of the Tang Dynasty as treasures. How can they force them to marry? They can only move them with sincerity. If we can seek a princess in this country, our country and the whole country will be thrilled. Even foreign ministers feel honored."

Lu Dongzan, the character of the monarch and minister of the Tang Dynasty, has been clearly understood. The Tang Dynasty is no longer the Tang Dynasty at the beginning of its founding. Now the Tang Dynasty is strong and looks down on the world. The road to threatening will not be able to be done, which will only arouse the anger of the Tang Dynasty. If they want to get what they want and marry the Tang Dynasty princess, the only way is to lower their posture as much as possible and show their sincerity.

Li Shimin asked Li Ke on the side, "What do the prince think about the Tubo envoy?"

When Lu Dongzan heard Li Shimin asking about Li Ke’s meaning, he felt something was wrong. Li Ke seemed to be hostile to Tubo, and the marriage between the two countries was a matter of seeking peace, and Li Ke was afraid that he would interfere.

Sure enough, just as Lu Dongzan was worried, Li Ke did not reply to Li Shimin directly, but asked Li Shimin back: "Does Father know the name of Nipoluo?"

Li Ke's words came to Li Shimin's ears and also into Lu Dongzan's ears. When Lu Dongzan heard the three words "Ni Boluo", he felt a breaking heart and secretly complained that something was wrong. Sure enough, Li Ke was going to ruin his affairs.

Li Shimin was obviously very unfamiliar with the name Nipolo and asked Li Ke: "What country is Nipolo?"

Li Ke replied: "Nibolu lives in the southwest of the plateau and borders the southern border of Tubo. Princess Chizun, the daughter of the monarch of Nibolu, was Songtsen Gampo, who married in the eleventh year of Zhenguan. Tubo also took a lot of effort to marry this Princess Chizun. King Guangzhou did not want to marry his daughter, and it was the envoy of Lu Dongzan who paid three visits to his court to get what he wished."

When Li Shimin heard this, he showed curiosity on his face and asked Li Ke: "There is still something else? Since King Guangzhou doesn't want to marry, why did he marry again later?"

Lu Dongzan had already guessed what Li Ke wanted to say in his heart. He was very anxious and quickly spoke up and followed Li Shimin's words and said first: "Report to Your Majesty, this matter..."

"Well? I'm asking the prince, but I haven't asked you, how dare you say more?" Li Shimin was asking Li Ke. Before the prince Li Ke could speak, Lu Dongzan actually inserted his mouth first. Seeing this, Li Shimin snorted and said unhappy to Lu Dongzan.

Seeing this, Lu Dongzan knew that his behavior was a little inappropriate in his impatient situation. He hurriedly rested on the ground and apologized: "The foreign minister does not dare, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Li Shimin said: "My King of Tang Dynasty talks to the crown prince, how can others talk too much? Just listen."

In Li Shimin's view, the current kings of the Tang Dynasty and the future kings were talking. Before Li Ke could speak, there was no way Lu Dongzan, an envoy of a foreign country, interrupted.

Lu Dongzan replied: "Foreign ministers receive the order."

After Lu Dongzan responded, Li Ke continued to say to Li Shimin: "King Guangzhou loves his daughter very much and does not want to marry his daughter to Tubo, but he has no choice but to have a strong Tubo power and set up troops on the southwest border to attack the city. King Guangzhou's power is not as good as others, so he can only send Princess Chizun to the future."

Li Shimin listened to Li Ke's words and understood what Li Ke meant. Last year, Tubo's marriage was rejected, and he also soldiered to Songzhou, trying to force a princess of the Tang Dynasty. He even once said that the army came here to marry the princess. If the princess did not arrive, he would not retreat.

However, the Tang Dynasty was not Niboluo after all, and Li Shimin was not the King of Guangzhou. The 200,000 Tubo army was lined up in the southwest. Those who were waiting for the Tang Dynasty were not the princess, but the elite imperial guards of the Tang Dynasty. After several confrontations, the Tubo people knew that they could not defeat them, so they fled back to Tubo in shame.

Although the Tang Dynasty and Niboluo had different endings, the purpose and attitude of Tubo were the same. Li Shimin's face gradually became ugly when he listened to Li Ke's words.

Li Shimin then asked, "How is that Nipolo now?"

Li Ke replied: "After Songtsen Gampo, he raised troops to go south the following year, forcing the royal city to surrender to King Guangzhou. Now Nipolu is a vassal state of Tubo and is entrusted with tribute."

"Hmph! This is actually happening!"

As soon as Li Ke finished speaking, Li Shimin hummed softly, and his tone was already extremely dissatisfied with Tubo.

But it was not over yet, Li Ke continued: "Father Xu didn't know that this Princess Chizun is just one of them. Songtsen Gampo has another room as the concubine of Monsa. It was accepted by Songtsen Gampo when he first took over the position of Zampo in Tubo. In order to get the support of the neighboring country Monsa, but now that time has changed, Songtsen Gampo has firmly occupied the position of Zampo, and this country of Monsa has long been included in the Tubo territory and no longer exists."

Li Ke and Li Shimin said question and answer, Lu Dongzan in the hall was already sweating profusely. He didn't know why a prince of the Tang Dynasty, who should have been busy with trouble, was so familiar with Tubo, and investigated the matters of Songtsen Gampo and Tubo.

Li Ke's words were all false. In Songtsen Gampo's hands, marrying a wife and taking concubines had become a political means for him to firmly sit in Zanpu's position and annex other countries.

Songtsen Gampo is a special way to deal with his father-in-law. He first takes advantage of his power, and then destroys his family when the time is right, and then seizes his country. Can such a person still marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty? Does Li Shimin dare to marry a royal family daughter?

Li Shimin looked at Lu Dongzan, who was trembling in the hall and asked coldly: "Is what the prince said true?"

These things are all true, and Lu Dongzan did not dare to lie in front of Li Shimin, so he could only say: "Zanpu and I, Tubo, are the will of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no falsehood. I hope Your Majesty will understand clearly."

With Lu Dongzan, Li Shimin already knew the answer. Songzan Gampo did not want to marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty. It was clearly because he was attracted by the prosperity and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and wanted to use the same trick again.

Li Shimin said disgustedly: "You go back first, let's put the marriage on hold for the time being. You should go back to the country and ask Songtsen Gampo in Qing Dynasty, whether he wants to marry my Tang princess or take over my Tang country."
