Chapter 408: Tubo Mission, Esoteric Lineage
Tai Chi Palace.
After Li Daoxuan showed off the imperial gold medal, the journey was smooth and he soon arrived outside Anren Hall.
Today, after Li Shimin left the court, he did not continue to deal with political affairs in the Ganlu Hall. Instead, he met with someone in the Anren Hall. The outside was heavily guarded and there were unscrupulous people guarding the door.
When they saw that it was Li Daoxuan who was asking for an audience, the bad guys' eyes lit up with admiration.
Li Daoxuan not only rescued their White Tiger Captain, but also chased and killed the evil Buddha Maha in the sky above the capital, which made the Tang Dynasty feel proud and proud.
They immediately went in to report.
One of them even took the initiative to reveal the news to Li Daoxuan, saying that His Majesty was entertaining Tibetan envoys inside, and among them was a Buddhist monk who seemed to be very powerful.
Li Daoxuan's heart moved. Tubo is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, southwest of the Tang Dynasty. Its current relationship with the Tang Dynasty is pretty good, and it is an ally.
However, Li Daoxuan knew that in the next three hundred years, many wars would break out between Tang Dynasty and Tubo. Although this country on the plateau was not as aggressive as the Turks, it would often show its fangs.
He claims to be a minister, but actually he has hidden ambitions.
For example, when Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, it was Songtsen Gampo's marriage proposal by force.
At that time, Songtsen Gampo failed to propose marriage, so he led an army of 200,000 to attack the western border of Songzhou in the Tang Dynasty, declaring, "If the princess doesn't come, I will go deeper."
Although the Tang Dynasty later won that war, in the end in order to appease Songtsan Gampo, he married Princess Wencheng.
In particular, it can be seen that Tubo, who appears obedient on the surface, is actually a hidden enemy.
However, the current Songtsen Gampo is only eleven years old and has not yet become a Zampu. His father, Nangri Songtsan, has only unified the plateau for a few years and maintains an alliance with the Tang Dynasty.
Not long after, the eunuch in charge, Gao Quan, hurriedly walked out of Anren Hall. When he saw Li Daoxuan's face was rosy and everything was normal, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zhenren Li, His Majesty has been very worried about you these days. He has sent people to visit you several times just because he is worried that you are injured."
Li Daoxuan smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am not seriously injured. By the way, what is the situation here?"
He vaguely felt that something was wrong with Gao Quan's expression.
After hearing what Li Daoxuan said, Gao Quan began to express his bitterness.
"Zhenren Li doesn't know something. The Tibetan envoys came to Beijing in the past few days. They heard about your victory over the evil Buddha. They said they admired you very much and asked your Majesty many times to see you."
After a pause, Gao Quan whispered: "I think they are not admiring you, but they want to test your strength, real person, or see if you are injured."
Li Daoxuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I understand, what does Your Majesty want me to do?"
Gao Quan came over and wanted to say something, but he glanced at the mediocre-looking maid behind Li Daoxuan.
The implication is that he wants the maid to leave first.
The empress in green looked indifferent. She bent down slightly, gave Li Daoxuan a Wanfu gift, and said, "Sir, I'll take my leave first."
A hand reached out and firmly grabbed her wrist.
Li Daoxuan held the slender white wrist and felt the soft and smooth touch under the thin clothes, and his heart swayed.
He smiled at Gao Quan and said: "Eunuch Gao, her name is Qing Ni, she is my... maid, and the person I trust most. There is no need to avoid her at all times."
The empress in green lowered her eyes and looked at her wrist held by Li Daoxuan. Wisps of divine light accumulated in her pupils, but in the end they disappeared. She sighed softly in her heart.
Anyway, since I said I would pretend to be his maid, as long as this little thief doesn't go too far, let him do it.
Just this once, never happen again.
Li Dao
Fortunately, the empress did not resist in the end.
Gao Quan looked at this ordinary-looking maid with surprise. His Majesty had given Li Zhenren so many beauties, but he was not interested in them. But now he was so protective of this maid, which showed that this girl had an extraordinary status in his heart.
"Zhenren Li, what your Majesty means is that if you are not injured, please go in and shock them later. Of course, if you are injured, please go back to recover first and there is no need to interfere in this matter. Your Majesty will
Take care of everything.”
Li Daoxuan's eyes moved and he said: "Your Majesty wants to use troops against the Turks."
Gao Quan's eyes were shocked, wondering: "How can our family know such a secret?"
Li Daoxuan nodded and smiled slightly.
Your Majesty must want to use troops against the Turks, if not now, then in the next few years. That is why he wants to frighten the Tibetan envoys and use both kindness and power to stabilize the southern part of the Tang Dynasty.
"It is said that the Tantric lineage of Tubo has been passed down from generation to generation. It is proficient in the method of initiation and can unlock the wisdom of the world. Today, I am a poor Taoist who has gained a lot of experience. Mr. Gao, please come."
"Oh, Mr. Li is so polite, please!"

place.
…
In the Anren Hall, there was great singing and dancing, and there were three rounds of wine.
The Tibetan envoys all sat in the banquet, watching the dancing girl singing and dancing, their eyes shining slightly.
It is rare to see such young women dancing in colorful clothes and wearing makeup among them.
There were only two people with clear eyes and one with a weathered face. He was in his forties or fifties and had a shrewd and capable temperament. Facing these charming dancers, he just admired them, not enthusiastically.
The other person is a Buddhist monk. He looks very young, in his twenties. He is handsome and handsome, with bright eyes that seem to be filled with spiritual light. The most eye-catching thing is the spiritual pattern on his eyebrows.
, faintly glowing with a strange luster.
At this moment, he had his hands clasped together, and there were all light vegetarian dishes on the table. The beauty was in front of him, and his expression was still calm. His eyes were neither shy nor active, as if he were looking at a group of red and pink skeletons.
Li Shimin sat at the top, quietly observing the group of Tubo envoys, his eyes constantly lingering on the monks and capable men.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty. The fine wines of the Tang Dynasty have made us intoxicated. The beauties of the Tang Dynasty have also opened our eyes. But I don't know when we will be able to meet the hero of the Tang Dynasty who defeated Maha."
The man with a vicissitudes of life and a capable temperament raised his glass and said respectfully to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin frowned slightly, this was the second time they mentioned this matter.
Seemingly aware of the Tang Emperor's displeasure, the young monk suddenly said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. Three years ago, when Maha went to Tibet as an envoy, his master was defeated by him. All the heroes of Tubo and I were defeated."
He is no match for Maha, so we have great respect for Zhenren Li, and please be kind to your majesty and allow us to meet Zhenren Li."
Li Shimin said calmly: "Taichong is practicing in seclusion. When he finishes his seclusion, you can naturally go and visit him."
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Haha, is it seclusion for cultivation or seclusion for healing?"
When everyone looked around, they saw a Tubo envoy with a beard, his face flushed, and he said drunkenly: "Master, I think that Mr. Li just doesn't dare to see you. Although he defeated Maha, it is said that he borrowed
The power of others has already been beaten back to its original shape at this moment."
After a pause, he burped and mocked: "If I see you...I'm afraid I won't even be able to hit you with one hand!"
