Wu Zetian believed this very much. In order to be grateful to her mother, she decided to become a monk and be a Taoist priest and fulfill her filial piety. However, Wu Zetian was already the queen at that time, how could she become a monk? If she did this, what would the civil and military ministers in the court think? Emperor Gaozong would not agree. So Wu Zetian thought of a workaround and decided to let her daughter Princess Taiping become a monk and become a Taoist priest on her behalf, and fulfill her filial piety for her mother.

At that time, Princess Taiping was only seven or eight years old. She was just a Taoist priest. However, after she was given the Taoist name "Taiping", it became her name later.

Later, Tubo kept disrupting the border and waiting for an opportunity to invade the territory of the Tang Dynasty, which made Emperor Gaozong worried and restless, so he thought of using marriage to stabilize the border. The western border of the Tang Dynasty was barren and lacking supplies. Tubo invaded several times but did not get any benefits. In this case, he agreed to marry the marriage and appointed Princess Taiping to marry him.

At that time, Princess Taiping was twelve years old, and she could get married at this age, but Emperor Gaozong and Wu Zetian were reluctant to marry her daughter, but Tubo would not marry her unless Princess Taiping.

what to do?

Wu Zetian thought of a solution: let Princess Taiping become a monk and become a Taoist priest, and dispelled the idea of ​​Tubo marrying her. So she built a "Taiping Temple" in the capital, and regarded Princess Taiping as the "guide", so she moved in and became a Taoist priest again. In this way, Tubo had no choice but to suspend the marriage.

In the Tang Dynasty, Taoism was respected as the national religion, and Taoist priests were generally respected by the government. The spiritual beads were treated so well by Princess Taiping, of course, not because of the indissoluble bond between Princess Taiping and Taoist priests, but because of her plan for Princess Taiping and was deeply recognized by Princess Taiping.

"Alliance, marriage, it's interesting!" Princess Taiping muttered to herself, turned around and walked into the mansion.

...

Wang You, the Minister of Rites, stood respectfully in front of Princess Taiping, feeling a little uneasy. He didn't know what Princess Taiping meant to summon him into the mansion, but he knew one thing very well in his heart that the person in front of him could not afford to offend him.

Everyone knows that Empress Wei and Princess Taiping fight in the court, and it is hard to predict who will die in the end. If you offend any of them easily now, the future results will probably not be much better.

Princess Taiping certainly knew Wang You’s mood at this moment, but she enjoyed this condescending feeling.

After hanging Wang You for a long time, Princess Taiping changed into a smile and said, "Mr. Wang, I'm asking you for something today. I hope I can tell you the truth!"

Wang You said in a trepidated manner: "Your Highness, you are polite. If you have any questions, just give me instructions. The subordinates must do their best!"

Princess Taiping nodded and asked, "The Tubo envoy brought Zhudan to Chang'an this time, can he submit the letter of the country?"

Wang You didn't know why Princess Taiping asked about this, so he hurriedly said, "I submitted it. It was written by Qilixu, a Tubo Changben, and personally handed it to the Ministry of Rites!"

"What is their purpose in this trip?" Princess Taiping asked again.

"They want to form an alliance with me, the Tang Dynasty, and stop the war!"

"Associate?" Princess Taiping frowned, "Have they mentioned the marriage?"

Wang You was shocked and shook his head and said, "No!"

"I understand!" Princess Taiping said slowly, "You go back first!"

Wang You wanted to leave the princess's mansion quickly. After hearing what Princess Taiping said, he quickly bowed and said goodbye.

...

As night was approaching, lights were already on the guest room in Sifang Pavilion.

There was another table of wine and food in front of Qiuhenshui, and no one spoke, and the atmosphere in the room was a bit dull.

"Your Highness, it seems that we are thinking too simple!" Qili Xu glanced at the Crab Biaozhu Dan and said, "I don't know how Li Longji knew the cracking technique, and he could also play polo well!"

Chi Daizhudan took the wine glass and sipped: "The Tang Dynasty has a lot of talents, which is reasonable!"

Since last time he had a drink with Lu Xiaoxian, Chi Daizhudan no longer drank with a big bowl, but instead used a wine glass. From then on, he has stopped fighting with others, and that scene has become a shadow in his heart.

Of course, it was also at that time that the zidaizhudan understood a truth: the Tang Dynasty cannot be underestimated.

"We are so harassed by the Tang Dynasty. Will they not form an alliance with us?" Qilixu said with some concern.

Qiu Heshui interrupted, "Definitely not. They can't afford to fight for so many years. We proposed this alliance, which can give them enough face. They will not affect the alliance because of these trivial matters!"

Chi Daizhu Dan said angrily: "If it weren't for those traitors who rebel, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to form an alliance with them!"

Thinking of the turbulent situation in Tubo, Qilixu couldn't help but sigh.

Just then, a knock on the door suddenly came from outside the door.

Qilixu glanced at the ruler and the ruler and the ruler and the ruler nodded.

The Qiuhenshui went up to open the door, and the supervisor of the Sifang Pavilion appeared at the door. He politely said to the Qiuhenshui: "Your Highness Taiping is here to visit, so I will ask the officials to report it!"

"Princess Taiping?" Chi Daizhu Dan and Qili Xu were stunned at the same time.

The zidaizhudan has been on the Tang Dynasty twice and has some understanding of the Tang Dynasty.

He knew that Princess Taiping was the younger sister of the current Tang Dynasty, and her influence on the court was no less than that of Queen Wei.

But, so late, how could she come to pay homage to her?

Chi Dazhudan couldn't guess what Princess Taiping came, so she decided to meet Princess Taiping first, so she hurriedly said, "How dare you bother Your Highness the Princess? Qilixu, hurry up, let's welcome Your Highness the Princess!"

As soon as the words of Chi Daizhu Dan finished, Princess Taiping had already arrived at the door. She smiled and said, "No need to answer, I'll come uninvited. Just don't blame Your Highness!"

Princess Taiping sent away the supervisor of Sifang Pavilion and let her maid guard the door. She brought Zhudan and Qilixu into the house.

After the three of them sat down, Chidaizhudan asked tentatively: "I wonder what kind of teachings will be seen when His Highness comes?"

Princess Taiping asked without answering, "I heard that the prince and the prince came to form an alliance with our Tang Dynasty on behalf of Tubo?"

Chi Daizhudan's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know what Princess Taiping asked about this, but knew that Princess Taiping must have some more words, so Chi Dai Zhudan nodded but did not speak.

"I wonder how you plan to form an alliance?" asked Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping's question made Chi Daizhu Dan confused. Although Chi Daizhu Dan knew the cultural customs of the Tang Dynasty, he still had the straightforwardness of the Tubo people. He didn't want to go around with Princess Taiping anymore, so he asked directly: "I don't know His Highness the Princess."

If you have any advice, please speak out!"

"I heard that the Tubo minister Dairenbanonanza was rebelled, and the troops stationed on the border between Tubo and Datang had been transferred back to fight the rebels. Moreover, the Tubo vassal state Nipola also took the opportunity to start a rebellion, and Tubo faced an unfavorable situation of fighting on both sides!" Speaking of this, Princess Taiping smiled faintly, "If the Tang Dynasty sent troops to attack Tubo at this time, I wonder what His Royal Highness the Prince would think?"

Although the Pin Biaozhu Dan was still calm on the surface, he was shocked inside.

What Princess Taiping said is indeed the dilemma facing Tubo now. These things happened not long ago. His purpose of sending a mission to the Tang Dynasty was to avoid the Tang Dynasty from taking advantage of the situation.

But he couldn't understand how Princess Taiping knew the situation in Tubo so clearly in Chang'an, which was far away from Tubo.

Ji Daizhu Dan couldn't help but feel alert: The woman in front of her is not simple, it seems that she should be careful when dealing with her.

Chi Daizhudan glanced at Princess Taiping and said, "So the Tang Dynasty is unwilling to form an alliance with Tubo?"

Princess Taiping asked back, "If you were replaced, would you agree to form an alliance with such a good opportunity?"

Chi Daizhu Dan said nothing. Princess Taiping was right. If she had changed herself, she would definitely not agree to form an alliance.

He felt sad. It seemed that the Tang Dynasty was unable to achieve its goal when it was sent to the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty took this opportunity to really launch an attack on Tubo, Tubo would be attacked on three sides, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

The change in the expression of the C-Baizhu Dan fell into Princess Taiping's eyes, and a sly smile flashed across her face.

Princess Taiping didn't say anything. She wanted this effect. She only let Chi Daozhu Dan Chaozi fall into despair, and then gave him a life-saving straw so that he would completely surrender.

The hatred water on the side was circling with his eyes. He seemed to hear what Princess Taiping said, so he asked tentatively: "I wonder if Your Highness the Princess is willing to help us?"

Princess Taiping glanced at him and said slowly: "It's not impossible to help you, but why do you thank me?"

When Qiuhenshui heard that there was a show, he was overjoyed and quickly patted his chest and said, "If you have any requests, your princess, please ask, and we will do our best to do it!"

Compared to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo was high and cold and barren, so how could Princess Taiping see their things? She said this just to lay the groundwork for what she wanted to say next.

Princess Taiping nodded and said, "This matter is for me. I promise that the Tang Dynasty and Tubo will succeed in forming an alliance!"

Chidaizhu Dan seemed a little disbelief: "The Tang Dynasty had fought with Tubo for many years. Even if His Royal Highness helped, such a good opportunity was in sight. How could the Emperor and the court officials of the Tang Dynasty let go?"

Princess Taiping underestimated: "It's very simple, because I know the situation facing Tubo now, but His Majesty and the ministers don't know it, so they will definitely agree to form an alliance!"

"Ah?" Chi Daizhu Dan, Qili Xu and Qiu Heshui widened their eyes. They couldn't figure out how such a strange thing could have happened.

It was Princess Taiping who revealed the answer to them: "The Minister of War is my man, and I will let him suppress it first when I report it to the border. Your Majesty and the courtiers will naturally not know!"

The three of them suddenly realized and quickly stood up to salute Princess Taiping and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your strong help!"
