Chapter 415: A Thousand Miles of Qiankun Passed Through the Pond, Fishing in Longhu Lake with One Rod
"Amitabha, I admit defeat. There is no need to compete anymore. Princess Changle is a true disciple, and it is unfortunate for us in Tubo to have a relationship with her."
Zhizang took a few deep breaths to calm his boiling blood, but his arms still felt a little sore.
That dagger is definitely not simple. It is very likely a magical treasure, and a magical treasure famous for its weight!
Li Daoxuan laughed and said nothing more.
Gongbu saw that his master had said this, and knew that it was impossible to marry Princess Changle, so he said: "Your Majesty, since Princess Changle cannot marry to Tubo, I wonder if I can marry Princess Xiangcheng?"
Li Shimin frowned slightly, because Princess Xiangcheng was also his favorite daughter, and she was the eldest daughter. Although she was born out of wedlock, she had a good reputation.
He couldn't bear the thought of letting his daughter marry into the bitter and cold land of Tubo.
At this time, Li Daoxuan's voice sounded again, and to Li Shimin it sounded like heavenly music.
"What a coincidence. I just counted with my fingers and found that Princess Xiangcheng and I actually have a master-disciple relationship."
Gongbu's body froze, he pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "What about Princess Nanping? She can't be the disciple of the real person, right?"
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Your Excellency is really amazing. You got it right again."
"you--"
Gongbu was furious and said angrily: "Master Li, are you determined to destroy the alliance between the two countries?"
He still remembered the task assigned to him by the Zamp, which was to take away much of the Tang Dynasty's knowledge and technology for free through marriage, in order to strengthen Tubo.
When Tubo becomes stronger than the Tang Dynasty in the future, we can advance step by step, gradually expand our territory, and obtain more fertile land and more wealth.
Li Daoxuan suddenly stopped smiling and his expression became somewhat solemn.
"The Han Dynasty married a woman, but still had the threat of the Xiongnu. This shows that the alliance between the two countries does not depend on a certain woman."
After a pause, Li Daoxuan looked at Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, I once heard a saying that Your Majesty might also like."
Li Shimin asked curiously, "What did you say?"
There was a look of reminiscence in Li Daoxuan's eyes, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.
"No marriage, no compensation, no cession of territory, no tribute. The emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies for the country!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers in the hall were shocked and the hall fell silent.
Li Shimin sat up straight, with an intense look in his eyes, as if he was savoring these words. Even with his great concentration, he could not calm down for a long time.
"Good! Good! Good!"
He said "good" three times in a row and praised: "What a good one, no marriage, no compensation, no cession of territory, no tribute!"
"What a great emperor guarding the country's gates, the king dies for the country!"
He stared at Li Daoxuan and asked excitedly, "Taichong, who said this?"
This statement was of extraordinary force , and Li Shimin's love for talent was aroused again. He was eager to know who had said this, and then invited the person into the palace for a long talk.
Li Daoxuan smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, this is just something I overheard accidentally. I don't remember who said it."
Li Shimin looked at him deeply.
He guessed in his heart that these words were most likely said by Taichong, and this was also Taichong's expectation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
At this moment, Li Shimin was suddenly very happy. He knew that Taichong cared more about state affairs and people's livelihood than ordinary Taoists, but he never thought that Taichong had such lofty ambitions and placed such high hopes on the Tang Dynasty!
As expected, he is the leader of the dormant dragons given to me by God!
"I agree with what Taichong said. Let's discuss the marriage later."
Li Shimin glanced at everyone and said lightly.
Gongbu frowned and looked at Li Daoxuan hatefully. If this man hadn't interfered today, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would obviously have agreed to the marriage.
"In that case, I'll take my leave now!"
"I will report today's events to the Zanpu in detail!"
Gongbu failed to complete the task assigned by the Zamp, and he was resentful, and his voice was slightly threatening.
"Wait a minute."
Li Daoxuan suddenly called out to him.
"Why, does Master Li want to kill me right here and now?"
He taunted, "I almost forgot how powerful Li Zhenren is. He doesn't even take Maha seriously, let alone a small Tibetan envoy like me. Well, you can beat me or kill me, I will do whatever you want!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin frowned.
Although Taichong convinced Zhizang and forcefully prevented the marriage, it also made the Tibetan envoys very angry. If they went back and exaggerated the situation, angering the Zamp and launching a surprise attack when the Tang Dynasty marched into the Turks, it would be troublesome.
Even if they couldn't do anything to Tai Chong, they could still vent their anger on the people of the Tang Dynasty on the border.
At this time, Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Your Excellency is joking. Your delegation is a guest from afar. Since you are leaving, I would like to give you a gift."
"The gift from the real person is too valuable. I'm afraid we can't afford it."
"Haha, you haven't even seen the gift yet, how can you say you can't afford it? Besides, I also want to give this gift to the king of your country."
After that, Li Daoxuan said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, please send someone to deliver a fishing rod."
Although Li Shimin didn't know what he was going to do, he knew it would definitely be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, so he asked Gao Quan to get a fishing rod.
Li Daoxuan walked out of the hall, as if he was looking for somewhere.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, his body soared into the air, and landed between a rockery and a stream. Then he sat cross-legged and fished, with no bait on the hook. His white clothes danced in the wind, but it was a pity that he did not have a white beard, otherwise he would have looked a bit like Jiang Taigong fishing.
Everyone followed him out of Anren Hall and looked at Li Daoxuan with great curiosity, not knowing what he wanted to do.
Only the lady in green's eyes moved, as if she had guessed his intention.
" Taichong , this pond is so clear that you can see the bottom, and there are no fish swimming around. What's your purpose in fishing here?"
Li Shimin asked.
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please be patient and look at this pond."
When everyone looked at it, they were all shocked to see that the originally clear pool water suddenly showed all kinds of scenes.
There is a clear blue sky, white and soft clouds, cattle and sheep eating green grass, an endless Gobi Desert, and cold and lonely snow-capped mountains...
Gongbu looked at the familiar scenes and said in a trembling voice: "This... This is Tubo!"
Even Zhizang, who had been secretly observing the Lady in Green, couldn't help but be attracted by the scene in the pool, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
The scene in the pool was indeed the Tibetan scenery, and his clairvoyance hadn't detected any traces of illusion!
Li Daoxuan didn't say anything. If someone looked closely, they would find that his temples and under his hair were covered with fine beads of sweat.
It was still the great magical power of moving stars and changing constellations, but compared to when he had just taken over the bronze tripod, Li Daoxuan had already given it his all at this moment, and he even had several elixirs in his mouth to restore his magic power.
Even so, his magic power quickly ran out .
"Holy Lake, it's a holy lake!"
"Look, it's really the Holy Lake, and there are dragon fish in it!"
Some Tibetan envoys were extremely excited, and some even knelt down devoutly.
I saw that in that small pond, there appeared the holy lake of Tubo, with waves as bright as a mirror and so clear that one could see schools of fish floating up and down in the water, nimble and agile.
Zhizang was shocked, he finally understood what Li Daoxuan wanted to do.
He wanted to fish in the holy lake of Tubo thousands of miles away from inside the Tang Dynasty Palace!
