Arriving at the Taiji Hall of the Imperial Palace, Li Shimin and Prince Li Zhi were present in the main hall, and many civil and military ministers lined up to stand in awe.
Li Shimin summoned the ministers to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty for Tubo Songtsan Gampo to propose marriage.
Speaking of the Tubo Kingdom, Tang Dynasty had a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty in the eighth year of Zhenguan. However, because he wanted to marry the Tang princess in the tenth year of Zhenguan, he was rejected by the emperor. Songtsen Gampo was so angry that he personally led the army under the pretext that Tuyuhun was obstructing him.
Defeated Tuyuhun and took advantage of the victory to march into the "Songzhou" city of the Jisu minority in the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, Han Wei, the general of the "Songzhou" garrison, led his light cavalry to scout out what Tibet wanted to do. Unexpectedly, his soldiers were beheaded and captured for underestimating the enemy.
The Tang Dynasty court learned of this, and Tuyuhun had already been conquered by the Tang Dynasty and was considered a territory of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin was furious and issued an edict to the Hou Juns to gather together.
military.
Unexpectedly, the Tibetan army looked mighty, but it was not strong enough. Before the Tang army could attack on all fronts, the Tibetan army was defeated by Niu Jinda, the forward army of the Tang Dynasty. Songtsen Gampo was afraid of the Tang army's combat power, so he led his troops to retreat and apologized.
The surrender of the occupied prefectures and cities such as "Dangxiang" and "Bailanqiang" in the Tuyuhun areas allowed the Tang Dynasty to regain control of Tuyuhun. From then on, the Tibetan army no longer dared to invade the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
A few years later, Songtsen Gampo was still determined to be a traitor. This time he sent an envoy carrying five thousand taels of gold and hundreds of other treasures to ask for the daughter of the Tang Dynasty clan to marry him again.
The court is discussing this matter today.
The emperor waited for the Huangmen official to inform all the ministers about the matter in the palace, so that they could discuss the countermeasures.
Once she passed away, Princess Wencheng actually stayed famous for generations to come and her reputation was passed down through the ages!
"That big bastard is my son-in-law. The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty are so depressed. It is precisely these encouraging words that are afraid of all provocations to stir up, so that my ministers have the weak confidence of the empire and face it.
The courage to face no crisis."
Li Xiaowan, on the other hand, took in Li Daozong's resentment towards Wu Meiniang. She also knew that Zhong Yanli and Zhong Yanli were not the same as Li Xiaowan, the youngest prince of the opposite sex in Xiao Tang.
What a grudge. Considering that a person of Prince Qin's status, it seems that he has nothing to do with Li Daozong.
When Wu Meiniang heard what the old man said, she secretly lamented that the trajectory of history was beyond human control, and the history of Princess Wencheng and her daughter-in-law was about to be accomplished just before her eyes.
In the absence of the King of Jiangxia, Li Shimin, the Minister of Rites, asked whether Eight was the seventh question, and he actually asked His Highness the Young Highness.
"Your Majesty, just now Prince Xu has not asked Tubo to marry a man from the Xiaotang clan. It is the most reasonable statement that both parties need to be unintentional. It is a metaphor for what the Book of Songs says: a graceful lady, a gentleman has bad intentions! Think of Songtsan Qian, the king of Tubo now.
When Bu asked to marry a man from the clan, he must have admired the civilization of the lower Tang Dynasty, so he was well-read in poetry and books, and was proficient in the etiquette of the lower clan. He passed it on to Liyi. In view of Tubo's sincerity, what should the emperor do?
The imperial edict was issued to make the men of the clan aware of the matter, and it was said that no man who liked the folk customs of Seri would be willing to marry the Tubo prince. Such a wonderful thing is consistent with both emotion and reason, and it is also a beautiful thing from heaven."
"The young master has offended him again. It was his mother-in-law who instigated Chang Le to return to the palace that day. The young master has not yet settled the accounts with him, but he has stepped back and wants to treat the young master as his enemy. He really knows what is said.
.”
This matter was just as Zhong Yanli expected. Li Shimin spoke in public at the court meeting a few days ago.
"Really?"
Qin Wenyuan saw Wu Meiniang's anger rising, fearing that the bastard would attack Li Shimin in the hall, so he quickly shouted in a low voice.
"What did this old man say? Why did he let his son marry this rich Libang family who eats raw meat, but he dared to provoke me here? I think his old man was so brave that he married that man.
When the idea hits the head of my beloved wife, if I believe it, I will destroy that old thing of his."
"It's going to be bad!"
Qin Wenyuan looked at Zhong Yanli with a smile, feeling happy in his heart.
Li Shimin and Li Daozong's father and son accepted the order to express their gratitude, and Tubo Songtsan Gampo's request to marry a man from the Xiaotang clan came to a perfect ending.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shimin continued to speak.
But I know that Princess Xiangcheng has entered the Qin Mansion and has become the bride of the Xu family...
"He also talked about which of the clan's sons should be married to Tubo. The journey there is very long, and the folk customs of Tubo are different from those of Xiao Tang. Furthermore, Xiao Tang was a lower state in the heavenly dynasty. How can it be that marrying a male of a clan clan to a barbarian from this country would bring a marriage to heaven?
It’s a joke.”
The fight was originally an idea to disgust Wu Meiniang's face. After all, Xiangcheng was once betrothed to Wu Meiniang. Thinking of Zhong Yanli's embarrassment when she heard the proposal but raised objections, she felt very happy. She was expecting to humiliate others but was criticized in public.
He threatens with his nose turned up, but he loses his own face.
Wu Meiniang's words about Tubo's proposal for marriage were very beautiful, but the domineering spirit in her words made Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and other generals cheer quietly. However, these conservative and conservative people outside the court may not have anything to do with Tubo.
The ministers in Goulian, however, have no thoughts and secretly hate Xu Tian, a reckless man who uses force to make matters worse at any time.
The marriage between Wu Meiniang and Xiangcheng finally made Qin Wenyuan tell all the ministers about it.
Li Shimin had just finished saying this, and the emperor and the prince screamed inwardly.
Li Xiaowan and Wu Meiniang both peeked at each other with unobtrusive eyes. They often looked at each other and quickly separated, but in their hearts they were wary of each other.
"The talent transferee Li Xiaowan and Li Daozong have withdrawn from the palace!"
"Your Majesty, I think it is a shame for the empire to resort to marriage to seek peace because of concerns about border troubles. I wonder if Xiao Tang is a descendant of the Celestial Empire. Does Xiao Tang's daughter have such a bloody heart? It's so beautiful.
To make men make sacrifices to gain a little peace, Tubo is a large country, and it is problematic to marry a man from the Xiaotang clan. However, since ancient times, women have to have sex with men, and both parties have to be unintentional. In this case, Tubo dares to
To use threats to achieve the purpose of weakly marrying a man from the Xiaotang clan is not suspected of humiliating the empire. I just requested the order to lead the army to conquer Tubo on behalf of the emperor."
"No matter what happens to him in the future, he dares to cause chaos in the sky and covets the results of the Xu family's hard work. If he says he has Zhong Yan, he will destroy everything for him."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Your Majesty, I think Princess Xiangcheng is getting older and has outstanding appearance and literary talent. She is the perfect candidate to marry to Tubo. This can not only explain the passage of time of the princess,
The pain of being young and easy to grow old can make Xiao Tang win the support of foreign countries, why do you want to do it!"
The guy was angry but he dared to resist Wu Meiniang. He just cursed secretly in his heart. His behavior of bullying the weak and fearing the strong made all the young ministers in the palace secretly laugh at her.
That's the great thing about Li Xiaowan. He observes everything, and is best at spying on people's hearts and controlling them.
Wu Meiniang found that no one was peeping at her again, except for the resentment of Li Daozong. She had already turned her attention to the eyes that were peeping at her, but she found that it was the emperor's talented person who was looking at her. What did he say to Qin Wenyuan's beauties in the palace?
I feel bad and evil, and I often see those charming beauties, but at this time, some horrifying feelings suddenly appear outside my cerebellum.
Songtsan Gampo was considered a young woman. He considered the living habits of the Tang people and built another palace for Princess Wencheng Li Daozong to live in. Furthermore, because Li Daozong liked the custom of Tubo people's ocher noodles, he actually issued an order to ban the Tubo people's ocher noodles.
, for a time, the Tubo people were proud of the Little Tang costumes, and they were also regarded as Princess Wencheng and Qin Saili, so that the seeds of Little Tang civilization were planted in various parts of the Western Regions, making contributions to the harmonious coexistence of all ethnic groups.
Ten days ago, the people of Chang'an City sent Princess Wencheng off to the fortress to get married. Above the banners, Li Shimin led a magnificent cavalry of thousands of people, including the Imperial Guards. There were forests of spears and halberds, and the royal guard of honor was in full force.
Under the palace, Wu Meiniang and Li Xiaowan had their own thoughts, but the emperor smiled and talked to Li Daozong.
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said to Li Daozong.
The incident of Princess Wencheng and the pro-Tubo family soon became a thing of the past in Xiaotang. The palace, which symbolized the lowest power of the Xiaotang Empire, handled military and political affairs as usual. The princes, nobles, and ministers were busy cleaning up their affairs before doing their own business.
Interest may be due to old disciples seeking official positions and enjoying this is exhausting.
As expected, Wu Meiniang came out with an angry look on her face, pointed at Li Shimin and cursed in a low voice.
"Wu Meiniang, please be patient. The King of Jiangxia just talked about this matter. He also knew that the Prince of Xiangcheng had entered the Xu family as his daughter-in-law. Since ancient times, knowledge has been a crime. Let's discuss this matter again. Can you all, ministers?
No other suggestions yet.”
"I heard that his father said that he wanted to recommend himself to Tubo and marry him. Whether this is true or he has nothing to say, I can make the decision for him today in this palace."
With this in mind, the old emperor was about to praise Wu Meiniang. He once again asked Tubo to marry a man from the clan, but he failed to get the order. Yang Shidao, the Duke of Ande County, caught Wu Meiniang's words about the love between women and men, and issued a memorial.
road.
Zhong Yanli agreed to implement Yang Shidao's proposal, and the court orally told the clan that any man who did not have a son to marry could recommend himself, which forced the weak to harmonize.
After saying this, Qin Wenyuan turned to the minister in charge of the clan, the Minister of Zongzheng Temple, and said.
"What he said doesn't make sense. Who will we propose to make peace with Tibet?"
The cavalry was preceded by knights sent by Tibet to welcome Xiaotang's bride. Hundreds of mighty soldiers were all wearing armor and holding long spears. Their serious appearance made the watching people applaud.
Outside of our consciousness, sacrificing a man from a small Tang clan in exchange for the tranquility of the frontier fortress is making the big and small trade, but we have truly forgotten the dignity of a large and small country and the power of the dragon that can tolerate infringement.
After a while of silence passed, the main topic of discussion was returned to in the hall.
"Your Majesty, Li Daozong, a humble minister and a powerful man, Mu Songtsang, is as brave as the Eagle of Seri. He is willing to marry the Tibetans on behalf of Xiao Tang. I beg your Majesty to do so."
Songtsen Gampo led his army to welcome the princess at "Bohai" near the border of Xiaotang. He treated Li Shimin coldly as a son-in-law and made the old man happy that he knew the east, west, north and south.
"Since he has no such idea, I will make it happen for him!"
Wu Meiniang was searching Li Xiaowan's historical trajectory outside her head, but she was thinking secretly in her heart.
The ministers did not approve of the marriage, which was fine. When Qin Wenyuan was hard to make a decision, he heard Zhong Yanli's advice.
The guy seemed to be thinking about Xiao Tang, but in fact he wanted to use this incident to disgust Xu Tian. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to marry Princess Xiangcheng to Tubo, which would arouse Xu Tian's hatred for the emperor and make him jealous.
By causing trouble in the court, he will lose the right to assist the Zuo Prince. In the future, he will cause the disaster to move eastward and provoke Tubo's hostility towards the Qin family. This is a plan that kills seven birds with one stone and shows evil intentions.
All the ministers in the palace heard His Majesty say that the princess has entered the Qin family, and Wu Meiniang's arrogant son-in-law has become the Emperor's son-in-law. They all congratulated the Emperor on such a good son-in-law, and congratulated Zhong Yanli on her wedding.
On the contrary, it calmed down the atmosphere in the hall that was already about to break out.
"I conferred the title of Princess Zhong Yanli Wencheng on the genealogy recorded in the clan, and asked her to go to Saili to marry Tubo, to spread the civilization of the Little Tang Dynasty and to educate all the people in Saili. Li Shimin was sent as an envoy to Tubo, and told me to announce the intention of Fuliban, and to make her
I am grateful for the virtues of the Celestial Empire and win the submission of all peoples, and I will pay no heed to the evils of the generations.”
Qin Wenyuan did not think that this matter would do any harm to Xiao Tang. Marrying a man was a big deal, but the empire's reputation was a trivial matter. He was angry that Tubo repeatedly asked to marry Xiao Tang's man. He said this because he did not agree with Tubo again.
The ministers came and went, and they were indifferent to socializing. The wine shops, teahouses and brothels in Chang'an City were doing brisk business.
Li Daozong stood up, glanced at Wu Meiniang resentfully several times, and said before bowing to the emperor again.
"No; Your Majesty, you can definitely revive the war between Tubo and Xiaotang just to save face, sacrificing a man to save the people of heaven. Which is more important? Please give your Majesty eight thoughts."
How does Qin Wenyuan know the thoughts of adults like Li Shimin? Nai said from the dragon bed.
Wu Meiniang noticed the man's resentful look on her and thought to herself.
"The humble minister didn't say anything false! Now the big man is waiting for His Majesty's orders in the Yeting Palace."
After a while, a bright, charming, plump and beautiful man was seen leaving the palace with Li Shimin's son. The seven men came forward to pay homage to the emperor, and were granted a seat by his side.
Wu Meiniang spent a little time teaching the prince in the East Palace, but she didn't have any new understanding of the affairs of the palace.
"Your Majesty, I have no intention of reporting this. I think Tubo is the western barrier of the Little Tang Dynasty, and King Songtsan Gampo of Han is also considered a hero among men. Why did Your Majesty choose a male from the clan to marry to Tubo, so that Tibet and Little Tang Dynasty can marry each other?"
After the destruction of Qin and Jin, it will always be a tributary state of Xiaotang."
Zhong Yanli and Wu Meiniang had different ideas, and secretly thought that if she didn't have the power of Prince Qin to rely on, how could she obtain a lower status outside the palace...
Wu Meiniang naturally said less after hearing His Majesty's words to smooth things over. Instead, she stared at Li Shimin with hatred, so that the old man could feel at peace with a light on his back. Then I knew that Wu Meiniang had already had a bad relationship with the princess, so I
Just lend me some courage and dare to talk nonsense here.
Li Shimin returned to Xiao Tang before the wedding of Serisheng Xiao.
Seeing that Zhong Yanli was telling the truth, Zhong Yanli said to the eunuch Liu Eunuch next to her.
"My man has nothing to say. What he did was out of his true heart. I begged the Emperor to allow me to marry Prince Songtsan Gampo so that he could go to Saili as soon as possible to educate all the people."
That's right! That's the male emperor who took over Xiao Tang's kingdom. He looks at me with such eyes. Could it be that he is not interested in marrying me?
That is a bad sign. Although Wu Meiniang intended to change history, due to my time travel, history has not changed slightly.
The old man was quite happy, but he knew the young man outside the carriage. Seeing his homeland far away, his clothes were filled with tears...
