However, this first marriage proposal was not accepted by Emperor Taizong. There are many reasons for this. In addition to politics and military affairs, the marital status of Songtsan Gambu may also be one of them.
Songzan Gampo, as a Tubo Zambo, certainly has many women around him. He has three Tibetan wives: Mangfeizeng, Xiangxiong Princess Leto Man and Muyaru Feijiazeng. Although one of them, Mummy Fu Jia, gave birth to the only heir, Gongsong Gongzan, the three Tibetan princesses did not immediately get the official title of princess when they got married. Due to various factors, Songzan Gambu first gave his position as a princess to the Nepalese princess.
Dai Zun is the daughter of King Amsuvarma of Nepal, and her maiden name is Brikut Ti. When the king of Nepal married his daughter, he took the eight-year-old Buddha King Kong, Maitreya Buddha and Tancheng Tara as his daughter's dowry. After marriage, she lived in Rishan, Malpot, Lhasa. The princess's marriage was just concluded one year before the wedding of Emperor Taizong, that is, the ninth year of Zhenguan.
Of course, this is just a romantic guess. As an emperor, whether the object of political marriage has wives or concubines is almost a problem that is not worth considering. -The reasons recorded in historical records say that the reason why Emperor Taizong refused to get married was because King Tuyuhun made mischief. According to the Book House Yuan Gui, the messenger who proposed marriage repaid Songzan Gambu in this way: "When I first arrived, the powers treated me very well and promised to marry the princess. I will spit out the grain and enter the DPRK, and I will alienate each other. I am not allowed to marry because of courtesy. " Attacking from afar and attacking from near, Tuguhun certainly doesn't like Tubo, and he doesn't want Tubo to be Xu of the Tang Dynasty.
Songzan Gambo was very dissatisfied when he learned that Emperor Taizong refused to marry the princess, not only because he was ashamed, but also because this proposal entrusted his national plan: he longed for the princess to bring advanced Tang Wenhua into the snowy area. Finish his "sandwich" dream after martial arts. To this end, he adopted the old method of "marrying" the princess. -When the king of Nepal didn't want to marry the princess, Songzan Gambu threatened to crush Nepal with 50,000 military forces and successfully forced the marriage.
So Songzan Gambu immediately sent troops to attack Tuyuhun. On the one hand, he found that this guy would never let others think he was Xu of the Tang Dynasty. On the one hand, he showed his strength to the Tang Dynasty. Of course, on the other hand, he also tried to further expand his territory.
Soon, King Tuyuhun was defeated. Songzan Gambu, who won the flag, led 200,000 troops to attack Bailanqiang, Lijiang and other places and entered Songzhou, the territory of the Tang Dynasty. After being stationed, he sent messengers to Chang 'an to propose again. This time, the attitude is blunt, and it is straightforward to announce that you will "welcome" the princess immediately after you get married.
The princesses in the Tang Dynasty were married, not forced. How could Emperor Taizong take such a beating and refuse to agree? He ordered Han Wei, the governor of Songzhou, to attack the Tubo army on the spot. Unexpectedly, Songzhou's troops were a little less and were defeated by Tubo.
The news came out that Nanzhao and other Tang Dynasty governors became the mainstay, and they defected to join Tubo. Yanzhou secretariat didn't ambush in the jungle, while Zhou Nuo secretariat surrendered with Li Buli and them.
This time, I found myself really underestimating my opponent, so I officially sent my troops by imperial edict, taking Hou as the marching director, thinking that I would forget the general, taking Niu Jinda as the right Wuwei as the general manager of the wide waterway, and taking Liu Jian as the marching director of Taohe River, and led 50,000 troops to crusade against 200,000 Tibetan troops. This time, the troops and tactics were very appropriate, and the Tubo soldiers were defeated.
After Songtsan Gambo returned to Lhasa, he sent an envoy to apologize to the Tang King, and at the same time he persisted in proposing marriage. This time, Emperor Taizong finally nodded, appreciated the temperament of the young Zanpu, and admitted that the strength of Tubo was worthy of the princess's marriage.
Therefore, in the winter of the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, Lu Dongzan, the snow ambassador and minister of Songzan Gambu, became prime minister. Lu Dongzan led 100 many ministers and knights, and came to Chang 'an to meet the princess with a large number of golden treasures such as "first-class golden green satin clothes" and "glass armor inlaid with rubies".
With a series of previous storms, it is not difficult to understand why the story of "six difficulties in Tang Taizong's proposal" has spread.
According to the story, when Lu Dongzan met with Emperor Taizong, several countries came to propose marriage. Emperor Taizong gave them six puzzles. Finally, only Lu Dongzan answered them all, and finally the princess was married to Tubo.
Finally, Lu Dongzan successfully completed his task. In the early spring of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, publicly announced the news that Princess Wencheng, the daughter of the imperial clan, had married Princess Zagambo of Tubo before the envoys of India, Persia, Gesa and Tatar.
Probably because Lu Dongzan completed the task so successfully and answered intellectual questions so well, and he was also a great master of Tubo. Emperor Taizong appreciated him very much and made him the right-back general. Finally, he made his granddaughter Duan a princess and married Lu Dongzan. (Take history as a mirror. It is said that the reason for appreciation is "being good at coping". Is it really a crossword puzzle Even without intellectual problems, the two countries have already gone to war. As you can imagine, Minister Zhenguan's words to Tibetan envoys are all armed with sticks, and they really have to be able to cope. Another minor correction: Emperor Taizong cannot have a granddaughter named Duan. In the Tang Dynasty, only Princess Gaomi, the great ancestor of Li Yuan, married Minister Duan Lun. If there is a marriage, Duan should also be the granddaughter of Li Yuan.
