There is a small temple at the junction west of Gyeonggi. In the past two days, this small temple welcomed a group of strange guests. They spent a lot of money to rent the entire temple, and the surroundings were guards with swords in the open and in the dark.

That night, in one of the wing rooms, three figures swaying on the wall, and two big men with a tiger back and bear waist were sitting at the table and chatting secretly.

The big man on the left said, "Da Xiang, we can obviously arrive in Chang'an with Nuo He Bo, why did Da Xiang suddenly stop? This made Nuo He Bo grab the initiative. What if the Emperor of Tang believed him?"

"If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty believed in Nuo Hobo so easily, then there was no need for us to go to Chang'an. This is not a trivial matter, nor can it be explained in a few words. As long as we have not arrived, then the Tang Dynasty would not be able to make a decision. After all, our Tubo has long been different from the past." The old man smiled softly, with a hint of pride in his voice, and said, "The reason why I deliberately asked Nuo Hobo to go to Chang'an first was to use him to test the Tang Dynasty's view on this matter. Although taking the initiative can certainly take the lead, but taking the latter can prescribe the right medicine. The initiative in this negotiation is based on our Tubo's strong national strength, which Tuyuhun cannot take away, so taking the latter is more suitable for us."

This person is Lu Dongzan, the great prime minister of Tubo.

The man on the right said, "Master, please forgive me for saying something inappropriate. You are too concerned about the Tang Dynasty. We are a feud with Tuyuhun, so how can the Tang Dynasty beside us? When the Tang Dynasty attacked the Western Turks, they did not send anyone to report to me."

These two people are the confidant generals under Lu Dongzan. The man on the left is called Suolang and the man on the right is called Zaba.

Lu Dongzan smiled slightly and said, "Whether we are willing to admit it or not, the Tang Dynasty is the most powerful empire in the world. Look at the Ashina Helu, who commanded the ten tribes, are all brave and good at fighting, but what is the result? You must know that the Tang Dynasty has not yet made all its efforts, but has just sent a small number of Guanzhong elites to go there. Therefore, we still have to look at the face of the Tang Dynasty. However, as far as I know, the Central Plains are all good at face, so when we go to Chang'an, we must bow our heads and make them look down on us. Remember not to let the Tang Dynasty be vigilant about us, and make them believe that we will never be enemies with the Tang Dynasty. Only when we eliminate Tuyuhun and occupy the Helong area, we can be on an equal footing with the Tang Dynasty, but before that, we must bow to the Tang Dynasty."

Just then, someone suddenly said outside the door: "Da Xiang, Shama is back."

Lu Dongzan hurriedly said, "Let him in."

Hearing a thrill, the door opened, and a Han man in his thirties walked in and said, "The villain has seen a great appearance."

Lu Dong praised: "Let me tell me, what is going on in Chang'an now?"

Shama said: "Everything is as expected. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not accept the gift of Nuohobo, and the ministers of the Tang Dynasty were not concerned about Nuohobo's request for help."

Lu Dongzan asked again: "What are the discussions about the arrival of Nuohobo?"

Shama was stunned and said, "The people of Chang'an are indifferent to this, and few people talk about this."

Solang asked, "Da Xiang, what are you asking about this?"

"The Tang Dynasty is different from our Tubo. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to the hearts of the people. Although the hearts of the people cannot control the wishes of the monarch, the hearts of the people are also very important. Tian Khan once said that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn the boat." Lu Dongzan said with a faint smile.

Zaba said: "It seems that the Tang Dynasty does not want to be enemies with us."

Lu Dongzan smiled and said, "The truth is actually the same. We don't want to be enemies with the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty will not want to be enemies with us, because the Tang Dynasty went to war with us Tubo, and no one can predict who will win or lose. The only thing that is certain is that both countries will definitely suffer losses. Go and ask the people below to prepare immediately, set off early tomorrow morning and rush to Chang'an."

In fact, Lu Dongzan guessed nothing wrong. As long as he didn't, Li Zhi would not make a decision. Although Chang'an was calm, everyone from the monarch to the minister was waiting for him.

Two days later, Lu Dongzan arrived in Chang'an.

Li Zhi also gave a grand reception and personally met Lu Dongzan in Tai Chi Hall.

"My minister Lu Dongzang met with the noble His Majesty of the Tang Dynasty."

Lu Dongzan bowed respectfully, and looked more sincere than Noh's bowl.

Han Yi looked at the man slightly and saw that his expression was respectful, and his every move was humble. To put it bluntly, it was a bit similar to a eunuch, but it gave people a very comfortable feeling. It was difficult to be vigilant about this kind of life, but there was a hint of wisdom in his eyes. He thought, this man was indeed not necessarily a great Tubo appearance, but he could condescend to this point. In this regard, I am far inferior to him!

"Great gifts are exempted!" Li Zhi smiled and said, "Great gifts come from afar, thank you all the hard work along the way."

Lu Dongzan replied: "I am flattered by Your Majesty's care and tears of gratitude. My lord sent me to Chang'an to say hello to His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, hoping that the Tubo of the Tang Dynasty will be able to be prosperous for generations."

Li Zhi smiled and nodded, saying, "The friendship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo is all due to the wisdom of his ancestors. It is hard to come by, so you should cherish it."

"Your Majesty's wise!"

Lu Dongzan shouted, saying, "I have brought one thousand taels of gold and ten carts of jewelry this time. I hope that I can ask my Lord for the princess of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, cultivate a marriage for generations, and create a story that has never been seen before."

Han Yi was almost asleep when he heard this, but when he heard this, he thought to himself that it was a marriage again. Is there anything else between the two countries to talk about except marriage?

But there is no way to do this. This is the ancient market! Not to mention China, Europe is the same. The countries are connected to each other. However, Europe pursues noble bloodlines. Their requirements for bloodlines are more radical than that of Chinese nobles. They are absolutely impossible to intermarry with civilians, but it is said that they can go to bed. The royal family of the British Empire also began to intermarry with civilians in the 21st century. The marriage of the Central Plains dynasty had more or less humiliating meaning, and used women for peace.

Li Zhi frowned unconsciously, and then smiled and said, "I appreciate the sincerity of the Tubo King, but my princess is still very young and is not as old as a marriage."

He refused in one sentence.

Lu Dongzan was stunned. He also heard Li Zhi's tone a little unhappy and thought to himself, "Am I said the wrong thing?"

In fact, he did say the wrong thing. Li Zhi really doesn't like the policy of marriage, because looking at Li Zhi's thirty-four years in power, there was no example of a princess marrying another country. Although Li Shimin was wise, when he was in power, there were many powerful enemies around him, he had to make concessions and all kinds of diplomatic means had to be used. However, when Li Zhi ascended the throne, the Tang Dynasty was the best in the world, and whether it was military, cultural, or financial, they were all the best. Of course, his mentality was different from Li Shimin. He felt that I was the boss now, so I didn't want to add such humiliating methods to my political heritage.

This is the same as the idea between Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Wen and Jing of Wen and Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Wu of Han was also very angry with the policy of marriage.

Lu Dongzan said in fear and fear: "I would like to ask Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty to forgive me. I really don't know the details of it. I rashly asked Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty to anger His Majesty, and I also asked Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty to surrender his crime."

Li Zhi felt a little embarrassed when he did this. I rejected you so directly and you were so humble, but I didn’t know what to say.

Han Yi was very supportive of Li Zhi. The thing about marriage was too shameful for their men. He stood up and said, "Tubo is also for the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo to be able to be improved. In fact, I, Datang, think so. It's just that we think between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo cannot be maintained by marriage alone. How reliable can the relationship maintained by a woman be. In fact, we should increase the exchanges between the ministers and the people of the two countries. Only by strengthening exchanges from top to bottom can the relationship between the two countries become more reliable!"

Li Zhi immediately said: "Well said, Han Aiqing said exactly what I was thinking."

Lu Dongzan looked at Han Yi and saw that this person was so young, he thought to himself, was it him? He bowed and said, "Your Excellency's wonderful argument, Dongzan has received teachings, so I dare to ask you for your name Gao."

The great prime minister of Tubo is so high in seniority and status than Han Yi, and he is so respectful in front of Han Yi, a young man.

Han Yi was not afraid of exercising acting skills with others, so he bowed repeatedly, "I dare not, I am not afraid, Han Yi is young and ignorant. If there is any offense in his words, please forgive me."

When Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu saw this, he looked at him and looked at him with all kinds of contempt. This kid was too snobbish and spoke to us, which was to kill his father's enemy, but in front of Lu Dongzan, he looked like a grandson.

They didn't think about how Lu Dongzan treated Han Yi, even if he pretended to be a grandson, it was mutual.

It was indeed him! Seeing Han Yi as young as the rumor, Lu Dongzan wiped out Ashinahelu's army with one person's strength, and made the tribes in Mobei surrender one after another. He thought to himself, the Central Plains are really outstanding! His eyes flashed slightly, and seeing that the ministers on the side looked strange to Han Yi, he complimented: "After walking next, Brother Han's name is well-known. I wonder if this Brother Han is your honor?"

It turns out that like me, I have done a survey! Han Yi said: "I dare not, I dare not, I am right."

"Disrespect! Disrespect!"

"Where! Where!"

It's hypocritical!

The minister beside him cursed in his heart.

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Grand Prime Minister, I have this love minister and Da Prime Minister. They are all heroes. I am planning to arrange for Han Aiqing to take you to Chang'an. I wonder what Da Prime thought?"

Lu Dongzan went to the Tang Dynasty at a young age, and prompted the marriage between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty. He was good at adapting to changes and was deeply loved by Li Shimin. He wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law, but Lu Dongzan was very loyal to Songzan Gampo and politely declined Li Shimin's kindness.

Oh! It turns out that it's in vain. Han Yi is very depressed.

Lu Dong praised: "Your Majesty is so concerned about me." He said to Han Yi, "Then I will have to do what Mr. Han."

"I dare not, I dare not."

Han Yi bowed and said, "If there is any inconspicuous hospitality, I hope the great general can be more tolerant."

After the two of them had false thoughts, Lu Dongzan suddenly said to Li Zhi again: "Your Majesty, in fact, I have another important matter to ask for help from the Tang Dynasty. I hope Your Majesty can be approved."

Li Zhi sounded like a familiar voice and said, "Oh? I don't know what happened?"

Lu Dong praised: "Report to Your Majesty, when my lord just ascended the throne, the Murong family in Tuyuhun bullied our lord at a young age. They repeatedly used troops to me, Tubo people, and robbed water sources. I beg Your Majesty to give us some assistance to my Tubo people, the loyalty of my Tubo subjects to His Majesty the Tang Dynasty."
