    Lu Dongzan seemed to be thinking about it when he saw Li Shimin, and immediately saluted and said: "His Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who is so talented and resourceful, as the Khan of Heaven respected by the surrounding countries, don't you want to fulfill this small wish of the country that respects you the most?"  Really? I, Tubo, are willing to pay any price to marry the Princess of Tang Dynasty. If His Majesty the Tang Dynasty is not even willing to grant us this wish, it will definitely affect the image of His Majesty the Emperor as a talented and ambitious emperor."

    Lu Dongzan lowered his head: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty Mingjian, I, the King of Tubo, really long to marry a Princess of the Tang Dynasty."

    There was still some uproar in the main hall. Someone stood up and said: "That's not right, Your Majesty. How can the diplomatic relations between the two countries be tied to a woman?"

    But the ministers of the aristocratic families also came out and said: "Your Majesty, what the Tubo envoy said can be considered. If an alliance can be concluded, it will save a lot of energy for the Tang Dynasty."

    There was some noise in the main hall. Lu Dongzan stood there, watching the quarrels between these Tang officials, without any expression on his face.

    Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji: "Auxiliary machine, what do you think?"

    Changsun Wuji came out: "Your Majesty, we are not in a hurry. This matter is of great importance and we need to think about it carefully first. This Tubo envoy must have been tired of traveling and traveling. He just arrived in Datang yesterday. He might as well take a good rest in Chang'an first."  It will be easier for us to think about it."

    Changsun Wuji was still calm and prudent, neither saying yes nor saying bad. Instead, he used the procrastination technique first and took it slow before speaking, because from their point of view, if it was done properly, it was indeed the right thing to do.  Datang was profitable.

    Although it is not like what the Tibetan envoy said, Tubo paid tribute and surrendered, but if we can really get some real benefits, such as actually controlling the entire territory of Tuyuhun and controlling some transportation arteries, it would be best to open up the route to the Western Regions.  Road, this is not unacceptable to Datang.

    In short, just talk slowly.

    Li Shimin naturally knew it, and Lu Dongzan also said: "What this gentleman said is right. I don't want His Majesty the Tang Dynasty to give an answer now. His Majesty the Tang Dynasty can think about it. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, I, Tubo, will  It brings sincerity.¡±

    Lu Dongzan clapped his hands, and Chisang Yangdun asked someone to bring a box from behind. When he opened it, he saw that it was full of weird herbs.

    "These are the treasures of my medicine. This is ginseng, this is cordyceps, and this is saffron. Its value is no less than the night pearl."

    Lu Dongzan saluted again: "I only ask His Majesty the Tang Dynasty to give me a chance."

    Seeing that the Tibetan envoy was so sincere, Li Shimin was really embarrassed.

    He thought for a while: "Lu Dongzan, I heard that you are the most intelligent person in Tubo. So, I will ask you three questions. If you can answer them, I can give you this opportunity. But if you can't answer them, I will give you this opportunity."  No need to mention it again.¡±

    Lu Dongzan raised his head, his face full of confidence: "His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, please come up with the question."

    "Cheng Qian, go get that nine-curved exquisite bead that I had before."

    Li Chengqian said yes and stepped out. Not long after, he brought a large bead.

    "This thing is called the Nine-curved Exquisite Bead. It was made by the skilled craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty. This thing has two holes on each side. In this bead, there are nine curved holes. Only the most skilled in female red  Only with your dexterous hands can the thread pass through the nine-curved exquisite bead. You have two hours now."

    After Li Shimin finished speaking, the courtiers in the hall were all staring at the exquisite bead, which was the size of a fist.

    "There are really nine curved holes in this bead?"

    "It's so twists and turns, and the hole is so small, how can you get through it?"

    Cheng Yaojin was determined in his heart: "It seems that His Majesty wants Lu Dongzan to retreat when he is faced with difficulties. How can he answer this question?"

    The other ministers were also talking a lot, and many ministers were thinking hard. Even Fang Xuanling and the others were frowning.

    This is really too difficult, even a generation of famous figures cannot come up with a short-term solution.

    Ma Zhou asked quietly: "Wei Zheng, do you have any idea?"

    Wei Zheng shook his head.

    "It seems that Your Majesty is also making things difficult for the Tibetan envoys."

    There was a lot of discussion in the main hall, but Lu Dongzan took the nine-curved exquisite bead, just looked at it, turned the bead in his hand, then raised his head and said: "I beg your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, I want someone to dig it in the Imperial Garden.  When an anthill comes, it must be a complete anthill.¡±

    Ant nest?

    This request confused everyone around, but some eunuchs still wentJust do it.

    Soon the ant nest came, Lu Dongzan directly tied the queen ant to the entrance of a thin hole in the Jiuqu Linglong Bead, then tied another ant with a rope, and then put it in from the opposite entrance.

    Li Shimin frowned slightly and looked at Lu Dongzan. The nearby ministers stretched their necks to watch. After a while, they only saw the ant crawling out of the nine-curved exquisite bead.

    "Oh my God!"

    There were exclamations from the ministers.

    "It really climbed out, and the thread passed through the bead!"

    Ma Zhou looked at Lu Dongzan and said in a low voice: "This man is indeed very smart."

    "This method is perfect."

    Cheng Yaojin was shocked: "He actually figured it out?"

    Lu Dongzan saluted Li Shimin: "Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, I have solved the first question."

    The eunuch carried the exquisite pearl on a tray and brought it to the dragon chair. Li Shimin looked at it and his face was slightly ugly.

    "Second question, Taipu Temple just got a lot of foals recently. In total, there are hundreds of them, and the number of horses raised in Taipus Temple is probably several thousand. Ludong praises me.  The second question is how do you select mares and foals from these horses without making mistakes?"

    Taipu Temple and Jiabu Temple were institutions specialized in raising horses in the early Tang Dynasty. Taipu Temple was one of the nine temples, while Jiabu Temple was under the Ministry of War of the Sixth Department of Shangshu.  Taipu Temple focuses on the specific affairs of horse administration, while the Jiabu Temple focuses on the orders of horse administration.

    Li Shimin asked this second question because he really wanted to continue to make things difficult for Lu Dongzan.

    Unexpectedly, Lu Dongzan just smiled and bowed: "Please allow me one day, His Majesty the Tang Dynasty. I can find the mare and foal within one day."

    Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a while: "Is one day enough?"

    "enough."

    Li Shimin was silent for a while and asked directly: "What do you want to do?"

    Lu Dongzan said: "Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, you only need to lock up these horses for a day, then let them out, and the foals will find the mares, and they will be successfully found."

    There was some silence in the main hall. Changsun Wuji and Yu Shinan glanced at each other, and they all saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

    This Lu Dongzan is indeed a talent!

    And the talents of Tubo are a threat to the Tang Dynasty!

    There was silence in the main hall. This method is indeed feasible.

    Lu Dongzan saluted again: "His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, please ask the third question!"

    Li Shimin said calmly: "Lu Dongzan, you are indeed very smart. Please wait for the third question."

    Then, he looked directly at the eunuch next to him: "Why hasn't Mr. Zhao come yet?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
