The emperor's imperial edict finally came down. That night, almost half of the people in Chang'an City knew that the emperor granted marriage to Changsun Pingting and Lu Dongzan, and that the Tubo Kingdom granted marriage to Linjiang King Li Yuancheng and Deji Yangzong.
.
Deji Yangzong is the biological sister of Lu Dongzan and a pearl of the Tubo Kingdom. This marriage between the two parties is of high standard. Linjiang King Li Yuancheng is Li Shimin's younger brother. He is the same age as Li Xiang this year, so he is considered Li Shimin's brother.
Like my grandparents.
This is also a very helpless thing. After the Xuanwumen Incident, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan was forced to abdicate, but he was not willing to be idle, so he could only work hard on women. During the years when Li Shimin was the emperor, he had constant problems
The new prince and princess are born. After all, they have the same status as Li Shimin. It would be unjustifiable if they are not crowned king.
When Lu Dongzan proposed marriage, Li Shimin went around the Zong family's descendants. Except for Linjiang King Li Yuancheng, everyone else had a marriage contract. How could it be said that Deji Yangzong was also Lu Dongzan's biological sister?
, if it is set up as a side room, it would be a bit too disdainful.
Li Xiang served as the imperial envoy for this marriage, escorting the eldest Sun Pingting to Tubo and bringing back Deji Yangzong at the same time.
Linjiang King Li Yuancheng should accompany him, but this guy's health has not been very good since he was born. When he heard that he was going to pick up his wife on the plateau, he couldn't stand up immediately. After the diagnosis by the imperial doctor, he said that it was because of his physical condition.
Too weak...
But if he did not come to pick up the bride, then this matter would not be justified, so Li Shimin ordered Li Yuancheng to follow the team to Tuyuhun and wait near the border between the two countries, and Li Xiang would escort him back from Tubo.
The people in Chang'an City don't have any objections to this. In the past, we only sent girls to get married, but now we exchange them one by one. It seems that we have not lost anything.
Li Xiang really wanted to give himself a slap in the face. If he had not made this suggestion at that time, he would have just relied on not getting married. Maybe it would be another result now. Who could let himself be so mean and insist on giving birth to a girl from Tubo?
If someone else makes a move, you won't be able to make a move.
When it was time to set off, according to the emperor's order, Li Xiang was supposed to take the Zuo Shenwu Army. However, the emperor thought that these people were Li Xiang's old subordinates, so he did not let him take these people. Instead, he took them from the three major camps in Gyeonggi Province.
He detached two thousand guards and went there, accompanied by Chang Sun Chong and Yuchi Jingde.
The Cheng Chumo brothers originally wanted to go, but these two brothers have become very ostentatious recently, so they have to give the opportunity to others. In addition to Changsun Chong and Yuchi Jingde, the noble families in Chang'an City also selected
There are more than twenty people, and they also want to follow and get some credit. As long as they can come back safely, these people can also get a small title.
Li Xiang had already gathered his men and were waiting outside the city. It took about half an hour before Lu Dongzan led his men out of the city. Except for Li Xiang, who didn't like him, there was no one else in the team.
Changsun Chong also realized it later and didn't have any good impression of this guy.
As the prime minister of the imperial court, Fang Xuanling bid farewell at the Ten Mile Pavilion outside Chang'an City. After all the complicated ceremonies, Lu Dongzan climbed onto his war horse very coquettishly, and then led the Tubo people to lead the way.
Li Xiang was about to ask his people to follow him, but Fang Xuanling stood next to Li Xiang. Li Xiang knew that the Prime Minister must have something to say, so he could only let his people follow him first, leaving only ten close men.
Wei was waiting nearby.
"Your Highness has forgotten everything. We are not friends. When you go to Tubo, be careful of their desperate measures."
There is a reason why Fang Xuanling said this. Although Lu Dongzan's performance was already very good, every time he saw Li Xiang, Lu Dongzan still had murderous intent in his eyes, and Fang Xuanling also
We understand what Lu Dongzan thinks, because these smart people all have the same idea. Take Fang Xuanling as an example, if the matter was not serious, he would even want to have Lu Dongzan's head kept.
After arriving in the Tubo Kingdom, it is outside our sphere of influence. If there are one or two reckless people in the Tubo Kingdom, if something happens to Li Xiang, he will regret it later, but we can deal with the matter of sending off the bride.
Others could take over the task of exploring the plateau, but no one could take over. Li Shimin had already made up his mind. If there was turmoil between the two countries in the future, Li Xiang would definitely take command and go on the expedition.
"Prime Minister, please rest assured that I am not a fool. If anyone cares about my head, I guarantee that I will not suffer any loss anywhere."
Li Xiang said very proudly, and Fang Xuanling next to him also admired him very much. A mere two thousand people dared to go deep into the tiger's den. This is indeed not the courage of ordinary people.
Of course, Li Xiang has his own credentials. You can only see these two thousand people, but there are tens of thousands of troops in our system space. And with the completion of various tasks, the number of troops is also increasing.
With continuous improvement, Tubo had better not have any troubles. If there are any, it's hard to say who will win and who will lose.
"It's getting late. Have a good trip, Your Highness."
Fang Xuanling also raised his hand. Li Xiang saw that the army in the distance was no longer close. He also said goodbye to those who were seeing him off, and then led more than ten of his men to catch up quickly.
Looking over from Fang Xuanling's position, these people were truly dragons among men, and their murderous aura was spreading even if they were not on the battlefield.
At the same time, Changsun Wuji's men also began to get busy. Li Xiang's trip to Tubo was no small matter. His men had spread all the details of Tubo. No matter what happened, they must ensure the safety of His Highness and do their best.
Exploring various conversations among the top Tibetan officials to see if they have done anything unfavorable to His Highness. If so, His Highness the Grand Sun's safety must be ensured even if the wedding is in the middle of the ceremony.
Changsun Wuji was standing outside his study at the moment. He had maintained this posture for half an hour. When his daughter got in the car, she did not go out. The female relatives in the house were already crying so much that they could not stand up. Everyone knew about this parting.
Just farewell...
That day Li Shimin came to visit in person. Changsun Wuji knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter, but he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly...
Changsun Wuji recalled his daughter's parting words, maybe she would be back in half a year...
Will the imperial edict issued by the emperor himself come back after half a year? Changsun Wuji shook his head helplessly, but there was still a trace of fantasy in his heart...
