Chapter 243: Visit the door and ask for a gift

"I'm sorry to inform you, the foreign minister Lu Dongzan, ask to see Duke Zhao!"

Outside the mansion of Duke Zhao, Changsun Wuji, Lu Dongzan came with gifts.

The manager gave him a reward and then led him into the mansion, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

He has been to Duke Lai Du Ruhui and Duke Liang Fang Xuanling, and he has not been able to see him at all, and he is not allowed to enter.

The servant drove them away with disgust and completely treated them like a plague god.

"Thank you!"

Lu Dongzan didn't dare to look down on the slightest part of the Duke's Mansion. After thanking him, he even stuffed a piece of silver into his hand.

The manager's face has not changed and he has taken it into his pocket.

"I invite you here, my master invites you to the side hall."

"Take a way."

After entering the hall, Lu Dongzan hurriedly greeted him, "Foreign ministers pay homage to Duke Zhao!"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "No need to be polite, please sit down by the messenger."

"Thank you, Duke Zhao!"

After taking the seat, Lu Dongzan hurriedly brought someone to the box prepared in advance, with countless gold, silver and treasures inside. As long as Duke Zhao could help him, the loss was worth it!

"I will not receive any reward without merit. I still don't know what the messenger is saying this time?"

Changsun Wuji was not lost in the eyes of the heavy gift. Compared to the heavy box, he was even more curious about what the Tubo envoy would say when he came to find out.

Lu Dong praised and said, "I will give you a gift to express my feelings. Foreign ministers have long heard that Duke Zhao is His Majesty's right-hand man, both moral and talented, and both civil and military. When I saw it today, I was indeed extremely arrogant, which made people feel awe."

Wear it thousands of times, but not flattery!

Not to mention, Changsun Wuji was really amused.

"The nobleman is joking, and if you have something to say, I will just speak up if I can help."

However, the old fox is always an old fox and has not mentioned the word "definite". It is just to read the food and not to let go until the critical moment.

Everyone is smart, and Lu Dongzan has no intention of hiding it. He is very clear that he is far inferior to the Dukes of the Tang Dynasty.

"Duke Zhao didn't know that this time I came to Beijing was because of my Tubo Zanpu, who intended to marry the Tang princess and repair the friendly countries of the two countries at the same time. Now I'm the King of Qin... Alas, I really don't know how to explain to Zanpu after I go back."

Changsun Wuji's pupils shrank slightly, "I wonder, what can I help you?"

Lu Dongzan hurriedly stood up and said respectfully: "I would like to ask Duke Zhao to speak a few beautiful words for me in the court. Tubo only wants to make friends with the Tang Dynasty, and is definitely not a person with ambition!"

Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and smiled and said, "That's all?"

"Of course!"

Lu Dongzan said it firmly, and it seemed that he just wanted to marry a princess.

As for the others, he dared not mention them randomly. If the person refuses to agree, he will cause some trouble for himself.

"Since that's the case, it's easy to say, but it's just that the noble envoy can't accomplish anything. If I want to set up all officials to ask for marriage for you, it seems that there is not enough courtesy?"

Lu Dongzan breathed a sigh of relief and agreed. As for how much it cost?

Don't worry, once the princess gets married, she will always be able to get her back from her dowry.

"Duke Zhao was joking, please rest assured about this. I have communicated with many court officials. When I go to court again in a few days, as long as Zhao says a few words publicly, Tubo will be grateful!"

Changsun Wuji is the master who doesn’t see a rabbit or an eagle. How can he fool it?

You have to do things when you receive gifts, and you can't be a fool by yourself.

"The noble envoy is joking. If I don't explain it clearly, I am a little afraid to accept it at this moment. After all, I am old and now I only want to live a few days of stable life. When I turn around and hand in the letter, I will only have the title of Duke."

Lu Dongzan thought it was not good, wasn’t this a duck flying to the mouth?

I finally got a leader and wanted to take advantage of his reputation to win over a few more companies!

"Duke Zhao was worried too much. Lu Dong praised him for not being a reckless person. How could he choose to push Duke to the front?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and shook his head, "I am not worried about being ordered by you as a knife, but I am worried about His Highness the King of Qin."

When they mentioned this, Lu Dongzan and others turned dark in an instant, and that person was simply their nemesis.

"Duke Zhao, Lu Dongzan has something unknown."

"Excuse me."

"Before coming, Lu Dongzan clearly found out that the King of Qin was not favored by His Majesty today. Why are all officials of the Tang Dynasty so afraid of him? Even Duke Zhao, do not want to get into evil with him?"

Changsun Wuji had a little disgusted in his eyes, "I really don't know who told you about this news. Do you know how much Qin King did for my Tang Dynasty? All the officials were not afraid, but felt guilty."

"Oh? I'm ashamed? I only heard that the King of Qin has made outstanding achievements in his military achievements. I really don't know what he did for the Tang Dynasty, but because of the King of Qin's concubine?"

Changsun Wuji sneered, "Of course you don't know. Most of the court officials don't know. Those who really know will never touch the bad intentions of the King of Qin. As long as the King of Qin does not rebel for a day, no one in Chang'an will dare to harm him!"

"Is it right to be so overbearing?"

"Wrong? The King of Qin is the one who is in charge of killing and attacking me. What's wrong with me? Even if he is disrespectful to me today, I have to take it forever. The merits are far greater than the fault. Who dares to say that the King of Qin is wrong?"

Yes, the King of Qin was too good to do, and the high-ranking Li Shimin sometimes needs to think twice about how to treat him?

To provide for it? Is there any other way besides this?

With both civil and military, he will be in charge of the horse and take the lead, and he will be dismounted to govern the country. Who dares to destroy such a talent?

But now that the great achievements are so great that all officials are avoiding it. Although it is against their will, they all respect the King of Qin. They like to do things that damage the King of Qin, but if anyone wants the King of Qin’s fate, no one dares to agree!

"Lu Dongzan doesn't understand, but Tubo has no intention of the Tang Dynasty. Please ask Duke Zhao to understand!"

Seeing that the other party knew each other, Changsun Wuji put away the fury that had his face before and whispered: "As long as you know, the King of Qin and my Tang Dynasty are extremely important, even far more important than Tubo. His Highness, the King of Qin, rode 7,000 horses on the royal court, and he could lead another ten thousand people into the territory of Tubo!"

"yes!"

Lu Dongzan quickly straightened his body and did not dare to speak nonsense anymore. A wrong word from the King of Qin actually angered Duke Zhao.

"Take your stuff and go, I can't treat you here!"

"Duke Zhao, don't..."

There is only one opportunity, but unfortunately the other party is not willing to seize it.

He drove him out of the mansion, and Changsun Wuji walked around the back door and headed towards the palace by carriage.

When facing the saint, the first sentence was, "Your Majesty, the Tubo envoy has different intentions!"

Li Shimin sneered: "What's wrong? I'm going to your house to give gifts again today?"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "The gift must be given to him, and the old minister dare not accept it. What's more, the other party obviously intends to provoke the old minister and wants to oppose the King of Qin!"

Li Shimin was a little bored and waved his hand and said, "Looking at it for a few more days, I also want to know what they want to do! If they give gifts again next time, you can accept them."

"Yes, the old minister understands."

"Well, how have you been in the rush recently?"

Seeing that Li Shimin cared about his eldest son, Changsun Wuji felt a little nervous and smiled and said, "I have me all day long, and I have memorized the Four Books and Five Classics. I can't compare with the two children of Huaiyu and Zhewei."

When it comes to the Duke of Chang'an, the ones whom he envied the most were Qin Qiong and Chai Shao.

There are successors, and a marquis is there at a young age. This is a manifestation of His Majesty’s favor!

In the future, even if the Duke of the Kingdom is not in his position, he will be able to protect his offspring for a hundred years without worries.
