I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

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.
