Chapter 1082: The girl from Shu is really cruel
"Prime Minister, although I admit that the King of Chu is indeed powerful, but..." Songtsen Gampo was very dissatisfied when he saw Lu Dongzan scolding him so harshly: "Didn't the original issue we discussed was why Qiongbo Bangsai had lost contact?"
“Zanpu, there are some things that you can’t ignore just by covering your eyes.” Lu Dongzan looked at the stubborn Songtsen Gampo, his heart was filled with sadness and helplessness: “I know... if a large number of troops are mobilized to guard Luoshui City, there may be some turmoil in the country, but it is worth it!”
"How is it worth it? Just because of your inference?" Songtsen Gampo said coldly: "That's just an inference!"
"How did the Tang Dynasty win the battle against Goguryeo... Zanpu, don't you know what's going on?" Lu Dongzan was so angry that he almost wanted to draw his sword and chop someone down: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one!"
"I'm not afraid of this possibility! If the King of Chu really has the ability to capture the city of Lhasa and defeat the 50,000 defenders in the city, I will be willing to be his prisoner!" Songtsen Gampo didn't know why he said such a thing.
But by the time he realized he had spoken out of turn, Lu Dongzan had already turned and left: "Grand Prime Minister... Grand Prime Minister!"
Sang Suo, who was standing by, saw the Zamp trying to get the Prime Minister to stay, so he quickly chased out of the study and said, "Prime Minister, please stay!"
"I'll leave your mother's legs!" Lu Dongzan's roar made Sang Suo stop. Behind him, Songtsen Gampo, who had just arrived at the door of the study, also turned pale.
"Zanpu, I'm taking my leave!" Lu Dongzan saw the matter clearly. He understood that the reason why Songtsen Gampo refused to listen to his advice was, firstly, because he did not agree with his inference, and secondly, it was out of precaution.
After all, when Songtsen Gampo first ascended the throne, Tubo was plagued by internal and external troubles, and not many people in the top leadership took him, the king, seriously.
But with the help of ministers who supported him, such as Lu Dongzan and Sangsuo, Songtsen Gampo gradually took control of the entire Tubo from both political and military aspects.
It can be said that Songtsen Gampo was not a mediocre person, and he could even be said to be a wise leader.
A wise leader would naturally not allow half of a country's military force to enter the capital.
It's not like the enemy's army is approaching, so why make people panic for no reason?
Besides... the person who proposed this suggestion was Prime Minister Lu Dongzan...
The pinnacle of power is always the place that tests people's hearts the most.
It has always been like this...
In the study, Songtsen Gampo looked at Lu Dongzan's departing back with a complicated expression.
But even so, he had no intention of asking the other party to stay.
-------------------------------------
"Brother, can I ask you a question?"
After the fall, the weather was cool. The King of Chu was about to set foot on the Tubo territory to let the other side learn what "speed is the essence of war" meant. At this moment, he was strolling in Yizhou City with his third brother Li Ke. The latter took this opportunity to ask the question in his heart: "Are you really... willing to do this?"
"What do you mean by willing or not?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who was about to choose a restaurant to enjoy a meal, glanced at the other party after hearing this: "Are you trying to say... that you are disappointed that my second brother didn't open the Xuanwu Gate?"
"That's not what I meant." Li Ke shook his head. "I just think... you've done so much, brother... why... anyway, brother, as long as you want... whether it's in the future or now, I, Li Ke, will always go through fire and water for you, even if I die!"
"Are you free?" Although Li Kuan, as an elder brother, was very touched by his younger brother's words, he pretended to be disgusted: "You are still willing to go through fire and water - do you understand that playing with fire means wetting the bed?"
"Second brother...you are embarrassing me again..." Li Ke couldn't help but pursed his lips when he heard that. The elegant third son of the Li family naturally understood what his second brother was referring to - when he was a child, he was naughty and was scolded by his second brother, and finally scared to wet his pants by the other party.
"Second brother is not embarrassing you..." Li Kuan saw that the other party understood what he meant. He thought about it, then hugged the other party's neck: "We are brothers... Hey? Xiao Ke, that restaurant looks pretty good. Let's go! That's it!"
"Second brother... where did you open this good business?" Li Ke looked at the shabby signboard and... the pretty lady boss who was lying on the counter and counting the bills...
The King of Shu realized it.
"Madam, please prepare a table full of the most expensive dishes in the restaurant!" As soon as His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu entered the restaurant, he took out a thumb-sized gold ingot from his purse and placed it in front of the proprietress who was "dressed in blue silk and beautiful as a feast for the eyes."
"Hmm?" When the proprietress saw the gold ingot in front of her, she first raised her eyebrows, then made a prompt decision and put it into her sleeve, then looked up and looked at the visitor.
But when she saw that the distinguished guests were two handsome young men, even though she had been a widow for many years and her words were not restricted by food, she still unconsciously reached out to tidy up her hair, and her tone became extremely gentle: "You don't need so much..."
"The extra amount will be considered a reward." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu blinked when he heard this, then patted Li Ke beside him and said, "Madam Boss, my brother is born to be rich and noble. He is very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. So I would like to trouble you to ask the chef to spend more time on the cooking. Also, do you have any private rooms?"
"Ah? Don't worry, the taste of our food is absolutely guaranteed! As for the private rooms, we have them! My two guests, please follow me." After the proprietress said this, she began to walk towards the stairs.
"Thank you." His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded, then took his brother and followed the proprietress to the private room on the second floor facing the street.
After the two brothers sat down, it didn't take long for the proprietress to personally bring up the meals prepared in the kitchen one by one.
"Two distinguished guests, please use it with ease."
"Xiao Ke," after watching the proprietress leave, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who was sitting opposite his brother, suddenly stood up and pushed open the window on the other side of the room: "Come here."
"Second brother?" Li Ke was a little surprised by his brother's behavior, but still obediently stood up and walked to his side.
"Look." His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who was standing by the window, pointed at the long street in front of the two brothers and said leisurely, "Look over there, there is a little boy standing at the school gate, hugging his mother's waist, not letting her go to the teacher. That boy must have made a mistake in the school and didn't dare to let the adults at home know.
Over there, the father-in-law who made sugar figures handed the last two sugar figures in his hand to a brother and sister who came together.
Hey, which philandering young man is this, caught two-timing someone?
Yo...Wow!
The girls in Shu are so ruthless! And they are so united!"
"Second brother..." Although His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was laughing all the time, at this moment, Li Ke seemed to understand something.
