Chapter one hundred and eighty fifth
The official from the Honglu Temple next to him looked at Ashina Siyun sympathetically and secretly despised him.
An uncivilized barbarian wants to fight with the Marquis of Zhongyi. Isn’t this seeking abuse?
Besides, will Zhongyi Hou be afraid that you will sue?
This Zhongyi Hou was not afraid of impeachment from the imperial censorate, let alone a barbarian.
When he saw the teasing expression of the official of the Honglu Temple, Ashina Siyun was very ashamed and angry.
If you want to refute it, but you are afraid that you will really make the matter big. If you don’t refute, wouldn’t these officials think that the Turks are timid and afraid of things?
For a moment, Ashina Siyun was a little embarrassed. Just as she was about to speak out, she was stopped by a middle-aged man.
After the two of them spoke Turkic, Ashina Siyun glared at Yang Fan fiercely and stopped talking, and felt relieved.
Ashina Siyun was still a little guilty when arguing in the Tai Chi Hall, and her eyes looked full of gratitude when she looked at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and bowed to Yang Fan and said, "The Turkic envoys are used to being free and distracted. They do not know the etiquette and importance of speaking. They offended the Tang Dynasty. I hope you will forgive me."
This person is about thirty years old, with a face shape in the shape of Shen, a high nose bone, a large nose cavity, and a red face. A simple summary is high nose, deep eyes, wide forehead, and narrow cheeks.
It feels a bit weird just by looking at a certain part, but it has a soft meaning when combined.
He was wearing a black cloth robe, braided hair, divided it into two halves from the middle of his forehead, and tied tightly with a hair rope.
This is completely different from the Turkish dress, but it is quite different from the dressing styles of Tibetans in later generations.
Yang Fan felt good about his fluent Chinese, so he politely replied and asked, "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man was very calm and quickly replied: "The Tubo envoy Gardongzan has met the Minister of the Secretariat."
Gardongzan?
Yang Fan was shocked and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Gar Dongzan was a famous Tubo politician, military strategist and diplomat.
In Chinese historical books, the names of Lu Dongzan, Dongzan and the great remarks appear, among which the name Lu Dongzan is well-known to the Han people.
According to historical records, Lu Dongzan was a "serious and resolute person" and made many achievements in establishing Tubo politics and economic system during his administration.
This guy is a great discussion of Tubo, and he is a person below one person and above ten thousand people in Tubo.
Why did you come to the Tang Dynasty?
Soon, Yang Fan's face changed because he remembered a certain allusion, which was recorded in historical records.
?Dongzan was very appreciated by Li Shimin for his wit and eloquence during his mission to the Tang Dynasty.
In order to keep him, Li Shimin even used a beauty plan.
He wanted to marry Duan, the granddaughter of Princess Langya, to Gar Dongzan, and tempt him to serve the Tang Dynasty.
But Gardongzan politely declined Taizong's kindness on the grounds that "I have a wife in my country, and my parents hired her, and I can't bear to be kind. I'm sorry that I have not visited the princess, so how dare I marry her accompany me?" At the same time, Songtsen Gampo proposed to Li Shimin.
Unexpectedly, at that time, the countries of Tianzhu, Dashi, Zhonggesar and King Hall also sent envoys to propose marriage, and they all hoped to welcome the virtuous Princess Wencheng back to be the concubine of their king.
Because of this, Li Shimin was in great difficulty.
In order to be fair and reasonable, Li Shi decided to let the marriage envoys compete for wisdom. Whoever wins can welcome the princess. This is the "Six Trial Marriage Envoy" in history.
The Jokhang Temple in Lhasa and the Potala Palace have been preserved intact until now.
When Yang Fan of his previous life went to Tibet for a trip, he listened to a tour guide's careful explanation.
Lu Dongzan is famous for his wit and keenness, and he is a scholar. In the end, he won the "Six Trial Marriage Envoy".
No wonder this guy not only speaks fluent Chinese, but also speaks Turkic. He is indeed a great man.
However, in Yang Fan's opinion, this person's greatest achievement was to marry Princess Wencheng for Songtsen Gampo.
Because when the Tang Dynasty sent a wedding to Princess Wencheng, it not only sent a large amount of gold, silver and treasures, but more importantly, it brought a lot of precious classics and advanced production technology.
Princess Wencheng's entry into Tibet laid a solid foundation for the strength of Tubo.
Because these advanced technologies and cultures were inherited by the Central Plains dynasty for thousands of years, Tubo avoided the detours of hundreds of years and embarked on the road of prosperity.
However, the Tang Dynasty unknowingly established a powerful enemy for itself.
So much so that in the following hundreds of years, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo fought many wars, and they were indisputable every year.
Although Yang Fan couldn't remember the exact year that Princess Wencheng entered Tibet.
But since this Tubo prime minister came to the Tang Dynasty, I think it will not be too far away.
I just vaguely remember that it seemed that Lu Dongzan's first proposal for marriage did not succeed.
After Li Shimin refused the request for marriage, Songtsen Gampo was furious and rushed his troops to fight with the Tang Dynasty in Songzhou.
Although Tubo was defeated in the end, he gained a lot.
Because after two years Li Shimin agreed to let Princess Wencheng enter Tibet, it was obvious that Princess Wencheng wanted to appease Tubo.
In the Tang Dynasty, many things have changed due to Yang Fan's arrival, but unexpectedly, this Tubo prime minister came.
I don’t know if there will be any change in this marriage. After all, His Majesty Li Er still needs to be married to each other. It’s hard for you to predict!
Li Shimin's behavior will not be discussed for the time being, after all, it has not happened yet, but why did Lu Dongzan persuade the Turkic envoys just now?
Yang Fan didn't know that Lu Dongzan came to the Tang Dynasty with a mission, of course, because he was afraid that the Turkic envoys would disrupt the situation and aroused the dissatisfaction of Li Shimin.
If all the envoys were implicated because of the reckless behavior of the Turkic envoys, wouldn’t it be a good thing for Tubo?
So I just used Turkic dialect to persuade the Turkic envoys.
However, no matter how smart Lu Dongzan is, he would never have imagined that the biggest obstacle for the Tubo marriage is Yang Fan in front of him.
Although he admires Lu Dongzan's talent and wit, Yang Fan only cherishes his talent.
They really don’t have any good feelings for Lu Dongzan himself, after all, the two are destined to become enemies.
In the face of national interests, personal preferences seem insignificant.
In order to avoid the harassment of the Central Plains people from Tubo, Yang Fan would do his best to stop the marriage.
In Yang Fan's opinion, marriage is no different from the enemy. It is simply a naked meat bun to beat a dog without going back.
In the end, the Tang Dynasty had nothing to find, but instead made the other party become stronger quickly.
Yang Fan will never sit idly.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan narrowed his eyes and said harmlessly: "It turns out that it is Gardongzan's great thesis, I have long admired it!"
Gar Dongzan was shocked, and he didn't expect that the young minister would know his identity.
Because it was not long before departure that Songtsen Gampo decided to ascend himself to the Tubo Grand Priest.
The administrative order for office will not be announced after he goes back to the Tang Dynasty.
It is equivalent to the news that has not spread yet. How did Yang Fan, the Ministry of Rites, know?
Lu Dongzan had to reexamine the young minister of the Ministry of Rites in front of him.
No wonder this young man was able to stand out in the court.
In the Tai Chi Hall full of purple robes and official uniforms, Yang Fan's vermilion red official uniform looked particularly conspicuous.
In fact, before the mission to the Tang Dynasty, Tubo's spies had already collected some information about the officials of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, Lu Dongzan, the newly promoted minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty, also noticed it, but it did not attract attention at the beginning.
After all, those messages refer to the young minister of the Ministry of Rites as a reckless hammer and a lustful nobleman.
Now it seems that this information is incorrect.
After personal contact, I found that the young minister in front of me was completely different than the officials who spoke of benevolence, righteousness and morality that I had seen before.
Such people are even more terrifying because they will not care about worldly perspectives and will not follow rules and regulations.
It seems that we have to get along well with this young Ministry of Rites.
This person is the only one who has won the favor. If he could speak a few good words in front of Li Shimin, the purpose of this trip might be much simpler.
With this thought, Lu Dongzan smiled even more happily: "Tubo is a bitter and cold place, the size of an egg ball. Even if it is a big speech, there are only two or three people under his command. It is not like Zhongyibo who is in a high position at a young age. He is a model of our generation. When I see you today, I will be lucky in my three lives. Please give me some advice in the future."
Of course, Yang Fan didn't know that because his unintentional title just now shocked the Tubo magistrate, which was also an unexpected gain!
Yang Fan immediately became overjoyed when he was an extra. He grinned and patted Lu Dongzan's shoulder and said, "The Great Relationship is so humble, but I like it. This person likes to make friends the most. Since we hit it off at first sight, how about I recommend it to Your Majesty and let you stay in the Tang Dynasty as an official? I won't treat my friends badly!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Zhongyi Bo, for your kindness. You can't give up your homeland. Even if you are in a low position, it's hard to leave easily. If you need it, please ask Zhongyi Bo for help!" Lu Dongzan's heart was filled with MMP and he hurriedly refused.
Yang Fan looked at the guy with a smile and said, "I don't force you. My words will always be valid. I'll make a promise. I'll just report my name to Chang'an City in the future..."
The two of them stood shoulder to shoulder and had a great time talking, just like a confidant who had never seen each other for a long time.
