Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

On the vast plateau, Songtsen Gampo stood there quietly, his eyes solemn and deep, staring intently at Lu Dongzan and the wedding procession, walking slowly towards him step by step.

His heart felt as if it was weighed down by a heavy stone, and every breath became heavy. The wedding procession should have been full of joy and anticipation, but at this moment the air was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

He knew that things might not go as they wished, and this result might plunge the entire Tubo into an unprecedented crisis.

He silently prayed in his heart that it was not the worst possible outcome, but an ominous premonition lingered in his mind.

"Zanpu."

Lu Dongzan walked closer and lowered his head slightly. His voice was low and respectful, with a hint of imperceptible uneasiness.

His heart was filled with guilt. As a key figure in this wedding reception, he was well aware of the mission he shouldered.

But now it has not been completed. Facing the Zamp, he was afraid to see the disappointed eyes, and even more afraid that his failure would bring disaster to Tubo.

At this moment, the humiliation he suffered in the Tang Dynasty kept flashing through his mind, and every scene pierced his heart like a knife.

Songtsen Gampo looked at Lu Dongzan with his deep eyes, which were like a cold pond, making it difficult to understand.

In fact, his heart had already been in turmoil. The marriage was a major event he had been planning for Tubo for a long time, and it concerned the future of Tubo.

If they fail, the morale of Tubo will fall to the bottom.

Now such a grand decoration has become a complete joke.

But when he heard Lu Dongzan's low tone, he knew that things might have developed in the worst direction.

After a long moment, he slowly spoke, "Did the Tang Dynasty reject our marriage proposal?"

He tried to keep his voice calm, but his clenched fists revealed his inner anger and unwillingness.

Lu Dongzan nodded implicitly, his body trembling slightly, as if this result was an extremely heavy blow to him.

"Zanpu, I have failed in my mission. I beg you to punish me."

His voice became even lower, and he buried his head deeper, constantly blaming himself in his heart.

"But the most urgent task at this moment should be to disperse the crowd to prevent the Zamp's reputation from being damaged!"

As Lu Dongzan spoke, he looked up at Songtsen Gampo, his eyes full of anxiety. He knew very well how important the Zamp's reputation was to Tubo.

I must not be harmed by this failure, even if it means I have to bear more punishment.

Songtsen Gampo nodded expressionlessly. He gently patted Lu Dongzan's shoulder, his tone calm but with a different kind of majesty.

"No need."

Beneath his seemingly calm exterior, he was quickly weighing the pros and cons. Dispersing the crowd might preserve his reputation temporarily, but it was not a solution to the problem.

He needed to let the people of Tibet know the truth, and more importantly, he needed them to unite.

With that, he walked past Lu Dongzan with steady steps, heading towards the cheering crowd below. His posture was as straight as a pine tree, and every step seemed to tread on the hearts of the people, while in his heart he was thinking about how to guide the people to face this setback.

Songtsen Gampo walked to the edge of the platform and waved to the cheering crowd below.

The cheers of the crowd gradually died down as if an invisible hand slowly covered their mouths.

Until the whole scene was silent, everyone held their breath, and their eyes were all focused on Songtsen Gampo.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm his complicated emotions. He knew that every word he said next was crucial and would affect the direction of the entire Tubo.

Songtsen Gampo took a deep breath and then shouted loudly.

"Our marriage proposal failed! Our Prime Minister returned empty-handed! The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty looked down upon our small Tibetan Dynasty."

His voice echoed in the air, and every word struck people's hearts like a hammer.

When he shouted these words, he felt both anger at the Tang Dynasty's contempt for Tubo and worry about Tubo's future.

He hoped to arouse the people's fighting spirit in this way, but was afraid that this would trigger an uncontrollable war.

"Lu Dongzan!"

Songtsen Gampo called out to the Tibetan prime minister again.

"In, Zamp!"

Lu Dongzan hurriedly responded loudly, his voice sounding particularly loud in the silence.

He was both nervous and expectant. He was nervous because he didn't know what the Zamp would ask him to do next, but he was expectant because the Zamp might have a plan that would allow Tubo to find a way out of this crisis.

"Tell them how the Tang Dynasty rejected our Tibetan marriage proposal!"

Songtsen Gampo glanced at Lu Dongzan, and when their eyes met, he gave him a hidden look, which contained deep meaning.

Only by letting the people know the truth can they truly unite, and the spearhead must be directed outward.

All Lu Dongzan had to do was add fuel to the fire.

Songtsen Gampo believed that Lu Dongzan could understand what he meant.

Lu Dongzan was the person who knew what happened best. He believed in Lu Dongzan's ability and believed that he could arouse the emotions of the people.

Lu Dongzan immediately understood. He took a step forward, looked around at the people around him, and a trace of grief and anger flashed in his eyes.

He blurted out everything without reservation, from the difficult six marriage trials at the beginning, how he racked his brains and put in so much effort to pass the numerous tests.

During this process, he was looking forward to successfully completing the marriage and bringing peace and prosperity to Tubo. However, later on, the Tang Dynasty ruthlessly rejected the marriage, and those Tang Dynasty officials even ordered people to whip him.

The pain from the whip on his body seemed to still be there, and every scar was like a mark of shame. His heart was filled with resentment, resentment for the ruthlessness and arrogance of the Tang Dynasty.

Later, Tubo sent troops to inquire about the reasons, but was severely humiliated by the Tang Dynasty. He exaggerated the news and told the people of Tubo.

As he was telling this, Zhang Xianhuai's proud face kept appearing in his mind.

Resentment swirled in his heart, but his face was filled with sorrow.

He wanted to let the Tibetan people vent all their anger on the Tang Dynasty, and he wanted to save Songtsen Gampo's face.

As he spoke, he slowly knelt on the ground and pointed at the shocking scar on his face in front of all the Tibetan people.

"It's me, Lu Dongzan, who is useless! I made the Zamp lose face!"

Tears welled up in his eyes and flowed down his cheeks. They were tears of regret and self-blame.

He kept blaming himself.

"I have betrayed the Zamp's trust and have let down the people of Tibet."

He turned around and kowtowed to Songtsen Gampo repeatedly. The sound of his forehead hitting the ground was particularly clear in the silence.

"Zanpu, I am sorry for you! I, Lu Dongzan, only wish to die! To repay the Zanpu for his kindness in recognizing me!"

"Only by dying can I alleviate the guilt I feel towards the Zamp!"

"Zanpu!"

The Tibetan people below looked at Lu Dongzan's grief-stricken expression and felt extremely distressed.

Their Prime Minister, who had always been so wise and loyal, was now suffering such hardships.

Many people in the crowd even murmured "Great Prime Minister" unconsciously, their eyes full of respect and sympathy for Lu Dongzan.

They felt indignant for the Prime Minister in their hearts, and at the same time were extremely angry at the actions of the Tang Dynasty.

This anger continued to spread in my heart like a burning flame.

For a moment, the crowd was outraged and flames of anger burned in people's eyes.

Songtsen Gampo looked at Lu Dongzan, whose forehead was bleeding, with a look of heartache on his face. He walked quickly forward and gently but firmly helped Lu Dongzan up.

"Lu Dongzan, you don't have to feel guilty towards me. You've done a great job. No one can do better than you!"

His voice was full of comfort and admiration for Lu Dongzan. He knew that Lu Dongzan had tried his best and that this failure was not his sole responsibility.

"The Tang Dynasty is going too far!"

Songtsen Gampo gritted his teeth and spoke viciously, with anger flashing in his eyes. He secretly swore in his heart that he would make the Tang Dynasty pay the price for their actions.

When the people below heard this, their blood boiled. Many of them raised their weapons above their heads, and the weapons flashed coldly in the sunlight.

They waved loudly and shouted.

"Go to the Tang Dynasty!"

"Let the Tang Dynasty see how powerful our Tubo is!"

"Grab all the things from the Tang Dynasty!"

Their hearts were filled with anger and greed for plundering the Tang Dynasty.

They only wanted to restore Tubo's reputation and let the Tang Dynasty know that Tubo was not to be trifled with.

The voice rolled in like thunder, carrying endless anger and defense of dignity.

Chaotic sounds came from all directions, converging into a surging force.

Songtsen Gampo raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. His eyes swept over everyone, full of power.

He was thinking about how to guide the public's emotions and not let them just be blindly angry.

He hugged Lu Dongzan tightly, and that hug was full of trust and encouragement. He hoped that Lu Dongzan could feel his support, and also hoped that through this action the people would see their unity.

"Lu Dongzan! You did a great job! You are the pride of our Tubo!"

"I, Songtsen Gampo, swear here."

Songtsen Gampo let go of Lu Dongzan and said solemnly.

"As long as I, Songtsen Gampo, am the King of Tubo, you, Ludongzan, will be the Prime Minister of Tubo!"

He knew very well that at this critical moment, stabilizing the morale of the army and the people was the most important thing. Lu Dongzan was an important pillar of Tubo. He not only had to win the hearts of Tubo people, but also the hearts of this wise man.

When Lu Dongzan heard what Zamp said, his expression was extremely excited and his lips trembled slightly.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Songtsen Gampo was truly a rare great ruler of Tubo in a thousand years!

Being able to work under such a powerful leader is the greatest honor of Lu Dongzan's life!

What does the Tang Dynasty have to fear!

He rekindled his fighting spirit in his heart and decided to fight for the dignity of Tubo.

"Everyone in the wedding reception team has worked so hard! I don't blame you! You will still be able to receive your original rewards!"

Songtsen Gampo spoke loudly to the wedding party.

He knew that it had not been easy for the soldiers in the wedding party along the way, and they had also made a lot of sacrifices for Tubo, so he couldn't let them feel disappointed.

The wedding party walked along the way in fear, as they had thought that severe punishment would be waiting for them.

At this time, the Zamp not only did not punish them, but rewarded them instead.

All of a sudden, the soldiers in the wedding procession knelt down one after another, their eyes flashing with fanaticism, and they roared excitedly.

"I am willing to die for the Zamp!"

"Go to the Tang Dynasty! Vengeance for the Zamp!"

"Let those Tang people see how powerful my Tubo is!"

"Our Zamp should be the Heavenly Khan!"

Their hearts were filled with gratitude to the Zamp and anger towards the Tang Dynasty, and the sound echoed on the plateau for a long time.
