Smart people are always arrogant. Seeing that Lu Dongzan easily solved two of his problems, the emperor became eager to win, so he revised the remaining four questions overnight to see how much this Tubo Zanpu relied on.

Are these talented people really that powerful?

The third trial: Require the envoys and their hundreds of followers to drink one hundred jars of wine, eat one hundred sheep, and knead the sheep's skins within one day. The fourth trial: Give the envoys one hundred pieces of pine wood and ask them to

Distinguish its roots and tips. In the fifth test, after drinking heavily, you can accurately walk from Gyeongseon Palace to Suncheonmen Gate at night without getting lost.

The sixth trial: Let a thousand beauties in palace attire stand in the square and let them identify the county head chosen by the emperor. The emperor's abacus was very good, especially in the fifth and sixth scenes. This is almost

The impossible test, for example, is the route from Gyeongseon Palace to Suncheon Gate. People who frequent the palace would not be able to understand it, let alone envoys who only go there two or three times.

However, this Lu Dongzan is indeed the smartest man on the plateau. He failed all four of the emperor's exams, especially the last one, which can be called the finishing touch. Among thousands of people,

This guy found the county owner accurately in just one stick of incense.

Not to mention that the civil and military officials and envoys from various countries could not understand, even the emperor who was the initiator was even more puzzled. Originally, he planned to use 300 maids to set up this formation, but in order to make it more difficult, he increased the number to 1,000.

How is it done?

Regarding the emperor's question, Lu Dongzan responded this way: Among the thousands of people present, only the county master had bright eyes, resolute and gentle, and exuded nobility with every frown... From this we can see

Due to her excellent family background and upbringing, this extraordinary palace maid can be compared to her.

Just when the emperor and the ministers were sighing at Lu Dongzan's wisdom, Li Chengqian, who had been looking at him coldly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and glanced down at the place where the workers were on duty, "You, you are so smart, but you are so smart."

It's too much. Is it possible that such a trick can be hidden from everyone in the world?...

Anyway, the county lord is going to get married, so who should marry him? Lu Dongzan can solve so many problems, which shows that he has extraordinary intelligence. The emperor who loves talents specially held a banquet in Qingshan Palace for Li Chengqian.

Accompanied by brothers Li You, they used family gifts to shorten the distance between them.

After some pleasantries and changing glasses, Li Shimin put down the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Lu Qing, I have always heard that Tubo advocates Buddhism. From Zanpu down, I have not failed to pay tribute to Buddhism every day. It is valuable that the country has ten virtues."

As for Dharma, are there any high-quality monasteries? With so many monks, are there any supplies of goods?"

The Central Plains Dynasty was a secular society from beginning to end. It was the emperor and the gentry group who controlled the discourse, never the religious group. He was full of curiosity about such a religious-controlled country, so he wanted to know how the Zanpu on the plateau dealt with those people.

The arrogant and arrogant person.

"Your Majesty, Buddhism is only one of the many sects in Tubo. Because the teachings and scriptures can educate the people more than other sects, all the people in Tubo are baptized. As for the temples and expenses, of course the royal family is responsible for them. Although I, Zanpu, am young,

But they are very respectful to monks, laity and Taoists.

Especially the monks who travel to the Central Plains must pay homage in person and ask for advice on China's customs and religious classics. The purpose is also to enable our people to enjoy peace like the people of the Tang Dynasty..."

Well, after nodding, Li Shimin smiled: "Lu Qing, you are a man of great talent. I love you very much. I would like to marry you to the Duan family, the granddaughter of Princess Langya, and make you the right guard general from now on."

Just stay in the Central Plains. As for the Lord of Tubo, I will say hello to him!"

Ah? What I'm saying is, why did the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty abolish so many Zhou Zhangs? Emotions have turned the idea on my head. This deal is worth it. A county lord is exchanged for a Tibetan general.

This can't be done. Isn't this breaking my Zanpu's arm? So Lu Dongzan hurriedly got up from his seat, bowed to the ground, and said in his mouth: "I have a woman in my country who was hired by my parents. I can't bear to behave, so I praise you."

Pu Wei has not paid a visit to the county lord, but how dare his companions marry him? A loyal minister will not serve his two masters, a good girl will not serve her husband, and even though the foreign ministers are barbarians, they will not care about the etiquette!"

Look, I told you a long time ago that it is impossible for such a person to be used by the Tang Dynasty. Unless he does not believe in evil, this is a wrinkle. Just when the emperor's recruitment failed and he was embarrassed, Li Chengqian left the seat holding a wine glass.

He glanced at Lu Dongzan who was pretending to be pitiful.

"My father loves talents, but he also loves his favorite master. As the saying goes, the talents of the Tang Dynasty are endless and inexhaustible, just like the crucian carp crossing the river and the car fighting.

Hey, why do you bother a loyal minister?

People with lofty ideals have always been valued by wise kings. With Lu Dongzan and the noble daughter of our dynasty, the greatness of the Qin and Jin Dynasties between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo will definitely benefit countless people in the two countries. I would like to congratulate my father!"

"Yes, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is absolutely true. After the foreign ministers return to the country, they will definitely report to Zanpu, pay tribute every year, and come to court every year." After receiving Li Chengqian's words, Lu Dongzan quickly kowtowed on the ground and said:

Please let the Emperor of Tang Dynasty change his holy will.

Well, good. After sighing in admiration, Li Shimin glanced at his son meaningfully. This bastard has already seen everything clearly. That's all. Since he has a plan, then why should I recruit this person?

"Hey, I won't force anyone to do anything. Lu Qing, I have given full authority to the prince regarding the wedding etiquette. If you have any requests, just go and tell him. Okay, I am tired too. Today

Let’s stop here!”…

Ten days later, after receiving the gift list provided by the Ministry of Rites, Lu Dongzan's brows furrowed into knots. What is this? Why is the dowry for the princess level so light? So, he came to the lobby of the Ministry of Rites to ask Li Daozong, the minister, for the gift.

To put it another way, don’t think that your foreigners are easy to fool.

"What's the problem with this? The gold, silver, jewelry and jade are all made according to the standards of His Majesty's eldest daughter, Princess Xiangcheng. I don't see anything wrong. Isn't the quantity of the things on it wrong?"

The gift list given by the Ministry of Rites reads: 10,000 taels of gold, 30,000 taels of silver, 20 boxes of jewelry and jade, 3,000 Confucian classics, and a total of 10,000 Buddhist and Taoist scriptures..., among others

The dowry personnel include only 100 palace ladies, 300 guards, and 2,000 monks and Taoists.

"King Jiangxia, do you, the princess of the Tang Dynasty, only need this when she gets married? Okay, I won't talk about the gold and silver and other common things. Where are the craftsmen, the technical books... I will share these things with the prince of your country.

Did you say that?"

What the hell, what’s the difference between such a dowry and those young ladies from noble families? Is this the style of a big country in the Central Plains? Aren’t you afraid of making other countries laugh if word spreads about it? Besides, I want so many bald donkeys and

What do Taoist priests do, waste food?

Seeing Lu Dongzan's angry look, Li Daozong burst into laughter, "Oh, you are really careless. Who is the prince? You can still take advantage of him. Just say that the etiquette is set by Princess Xiangcheng."

Li Daozong knew that his nephew was trying to deceive this guy.

What kind of national power was the Tang Dynasty at that time? A copper coin had to be broken into two flowers. In addition, there was no message from the East Palace, which means that the prince was waiting for the Tubo to get angry, so that he could use their hands to quell the opposition in the court.

The voice is such a good one to use for strength.

"Oh, I said Lu Dongzan, this is because you don't understand the national conditions of the Tang Dynasty. Come and have a good talk with me." After speaking, Li Daozong made an invitation gesture to Lu Dongzan.

Sit down first and speak slowly.

In the Tang Dynasty, the dowries of the previous generation of princesses were not generous. When they got married, they either caught up with the country's turmoil in the early days of Wude, or after Li Yuan abdicated, so even if the dowry was a little unfair, they could not say anything.

.

Among the princesses of her generation, the richest one is Li Lizhi, but even for her, the amount of gold and silver she received as a dowry was not much. This was specially ordered by Empress Changsun. She didn’t want people to say that she was a person who favored one thing over another, so she just built a palace.

He built his mansion, added fiefs and rewarded several Zhuangzi.

The rest of the dowry was a gift list made by the East Palace alone. Rao Li Daozong was very knowledgeable and was shocked when he saw it. He once made a mistake and calculated that the dowry of Princess Changle was five times that of King Wei. From this we can see

Come out, the prince already dotes on his sister.

As for the county head sent by the court today, he has no blood relationship with him, so there is no need for the East Palace to accompany him, so I think it is normal to be young. There is no forced purchase or sale in this matter!...

...

"Little brother, aren't you a master of the Central Plains? You should know what it means not to be ashamed to ask. You should have made it clear to His Highness the Crown Prince that you require the same treatment as Princess Changle.

As for the craftsmen you mentioned, His Highness has said that if you want to go back and build a temple or something, these people usually do tinkering work in the temple. Building a temple for you in Tubo will definitely not be a problem.
