Li Xiang naturally could not say that he was here to sell grain. If he did, it would arouse hostility. So Li Xiang made up a lie and said that Lord Zeng and General Qin Qiong had gone too far last time. Since Li Xiang had already arrived at the border area, he had to say some soft words, and everyone continued to shake hands and make peace, and then jointly maintain peace on the border.
After hearing what Li Xiang said as relayed by the servants, the people in the tent had different expressions. The old nobles all thought that what Li Xiang said was true. After all, their Tubo was once a powerful country. If diplomatic relations became like this, it would not be a good thing for everyone.
But Lu Dongzan has dealt with Li Xiang before. If a person like that was so kind, would I have had so many frictions with him in the past?
"What do you think, Prime Minister?"
Songtsen Gampo's trip to the front line this time can be said to be a complete failure. Many things have not yet been set in motion, but now they have been declared over. Originally, he wanted to suppress the power of Lu Dongzan's faction. Even if there was no way to dismiss Lu Dongzan, some of his men had to be dismissed to let him know who is in charge in Tubo. However, because of Li Xiang's arrival, everything may have to end early.
"This statement is untenable. I fought him in Chang'an City. He is definitely not a simple person. But now he is the grandson of the Tang Dynasty's emperor. His status is noble, and we must give him due respect. Why not let the Zamp not show up? I will go in person and wait until everything is settled before leading him to the Holy City for an audience."
Lu Dongzan's arrangement can be said to be foolproof. Although Li Xiang's current status is not low, he is only the third most important person in the Tang Dynasty. Songtsen Gampo is the number one person in Tubo. If Songtsen Gampo goes out to greet him in person, it would seem a bit too cheap, and it would even be inappropriate to meet in such a military camp.
What's more, according to their thinking, perhaps Li Xiang doesn't know much about the things on the plateau. If Songtsen Gampo appeared in such a military camp, according to Li Xiang's thinking, he would be able to quickly deduce what was going on. When they buy food from the Tang Dynasty in the future, maybe this kid will interfere.
"Lu Dongzan, please don't go too far. The Zamp is clearly here. Do you really need to come forward?"
The old nobles have not yet woken up from Songtsen Gampo's original orders, so no matter what Lu Dongzan said, these people would stand up and shout a few times. When they saw Songtsen Gampo's cold eyes, these people finally shut their mouths. It seems that the film has been changed, and you guys are still staying in the original live broadcast room.
"Someone, change your clothes, you too."
Songtsen Gampo waved his hand. There was no time to think about it now. They all had to change into soldiers' clothes and listen here obediently. All matters were left to Lu Dongzan. According to Lu Dongzan's original idea, he was going to let these people go to the holy city, but he didn't expect Songtsen Gampo was unwilling to go back. In that case, let Songtsen Gampo stay here.
During the negotiations with Tuyuhun, Li Xiang once dressed up as a guard in order to be able to give remote commands from the side. Unexpectedly, Songtsen Gampo also had the same idea. The Khan of Tuyuhun did the same thing back then. It seems that the top leaders all had this idea.
It's just that some people succeeded, such as Li Xiang, but some people failed, such as Tuyuhun Khan. This is also very normal. No matter what kind of conspiracy and tricks you use, when your side is at a disadvantage, no matter how fast your brain works, in the end you can't turn the tide and can only face your failure.
Lu Dongzan gave General Huyan a look and he raised his sword, then followed Lu Dongzan out. Li Xiang was now the third most important person in the Tang Dynasty and was qualified to have Lu Dongzan go out of the camp to greet him.
Seeing the tacit understanding between the two, Songtsen Gampo felt a little uncomfortable. It seemed that General Huyan's wife had just died, and Songtsen Gampo had a cousin who was not married yet. If he could drive a wedge between them, that would be a good thing.
Of course, this is all a matter for the future. Now that the chieftain and Li Xiang are coming from both sides, even if Songtsen Gampo wants to reorganize the internal situation, now is not a good time. Everyone must play their role. If something happens to these people, the old nobles will not be able to take over.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I never expected that we would meet again. I thought it would be a long time before we met, but I didn't expect to see you again so soon. It's really presumptuous of me to come here without notifying you in advance."
Li Xiang greeted Lu Dongzan with a smile from afar. If Lu Dongzan had not been to Chang'an City, he would have felt that he and Li Xiang were old friends. However, they had countless arguments along the way. Lu Dongzan now wanted to kill Li Xiang with a knife, but he knew that Zamp was still standing next to him, and he could never do such a thing.
What's more, when he came back to report, he said that he had a very good relationship with Li Xiang, and that he had dug this pit himself. He had wanted to explain his efforts in Chang'an City to everyone, but he didn't expect that now he would have to swallow the bitter fruit himself.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince's presence is a great honor to our entire Tibetan nation. How dare we blame Your Highness? Please come in, Your Highness."
Lu Dongzan's acting skills are also very good. Li Xiang was worried that this guy would embarrass him, but he didn't expect that this guy would happily invite him in. After entering the tent, Li Xiang realized that if Songtsen Gampo was here, then he and Songtsen Gampo should sit in the main seat, and even if Lu Dongzan was the prime minister of a country, he would have to sit in the seat next to him.
But at this moment, Lu Dongzan walked towards the host's position, which meant that Songtsen Gampo was not here. However, what made Li Xiang feel suspicious was that there were a little more dignitaries here. After all, this was a military camp. If there were a large number of soldiers and generals, it would naturally be understandable. But with so many people in gorgeous clothes, what did they have to do with the war?
Looking at the generals at the door, their military ranks were already quite high, but they weren't even qualified to enter the tent. Instead, there were so many ordinary soldiers in the room...
broken……
There was no arrangement in a short time, and when Lu Dongzan saw Li Xiang's eyes, he immediately knew that he was exposed...
