As soon as the waiter finished speaking, the door of the hall was pushed open, and a beautiful girl rushed in.
Zhao Shen's face showed a bit of helplessness and love, and he waved to the waiter beside him, "Okay, you all can get off!"
"Who bullied Guangling!"
When his eyes fell on the girl, Zhao Shen's face suddenly showed a bit of anger, because there were tears on the girl's face that he had no time to wipe!
Yes, this girl is the princess of Guangling.
Once, Shen Tang met him once at the market during the New Year's Day the year before last, and later, he met him again in a teahouse.
However, Shen Tang obviously did not know the identity of the Guangling Princess.
Princess Guangling is not the daughter of the Supreme Emperor Zhao Gou, but the biological sister of Zhao Shen.
How could Zhao Shen not cherish his only sister?
Even saying that Princess Guangling is Zhao Shen's weakness is no exaggeration.
"Brother Emperor, let me ask you! Do you want me to marry Tubo?"
Princess Guangling asked with a hint of tears.
"Snapped!"
Zhao Shen slapped his hand on the table, "Who dares to spread such rumors!"
Turning around, he said softly to Princess Guangling, "Sister, how can I let you marry far away from Tubo? Even if my sister is marrying, she is also a talented person from our Song Dynasty. How can I let you marry in such a remote place?"
At this moment, Zhao Shen doesn't have the aura of an emperor. He looks like a madman who protects his sister!
"Wow!"
Feeling the tenderness in Zhao Shen's words, the aggrieved Guang Ling immediately threw himself into Zhao Shen's arms and burst into tears.
Zhao Shen stroked his sister's long hair, his face full of love.
This is his only sister. In comparison, even if he really loses a Chengdu mansion, it is far less important than his sister.
It took a while before Guangling's mood calmed down a bit.
She held Zhao Shen's arm and said aggrievedly, "They all said that our road to Chengdu was attacked by the Tubo people and was in danger.
The Tubo people proposed to marry the princess of the Song Dynasty.
However, Uncle Huang has no suitable daughter, so the only one is Guangling."
The imperial uncle she talks about is naturally the Supreme Emperor Zhao Gou.
Although Zhao Gou had concubines, he had no heirs.
Originally, Zhao Gou's heirs were also captured and taken to the Kingdom of Jin during the Jingkang Incident, but they did not have Zhao Gou's luck and did not return at all.
After returning, there has been no production in these years.
It is said that Zhao Gou suffered great humiliation in the Jin Kingdom and was unable to conceive offspring after his return.
Naturally, no one has confirmed the authenticity of this matter, but judging from the actual situation, it is probably true.
This is also the reason why Zhao Gou let Zhao Shen and another royal family member enter the palace a long time ago.
Therefore, after the Jingkang Incident, the number of current royal family members has become extremely rare.
The so-called princess is just a side branch of the royal family, and there is no suitable candidate at all.
If you really have to choose someone to marry, then the only one is Princess Guangling.
As for the so-called pretending to be a woman and marrying as a princess, this kind of thing is not impossible, but it is really too difficult.
After all, the Tubo tribe is not all fools. Whether a person is a princess can be found out with just a little inquiry.
"These long-tongued minions!"
Zhao Shen cursed secretly, and then comforted him again and said, "Guangling, don't worry.
No matter what, I will never let you marry a Tubo! Only Guangling and I can decide on Guangling's marriage, and no one else can interfere."
"Really? Brother Huang!"
Guangling looked at Zhao Shen aggrievedly.
Reaching out his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, Zhao Shen said firmly, "Once a word is spoken, it's hard to chase it back!"
"But didn't they say that our Chengdu Prefecture Road was going to be captured by the Tubo people?"
Guangling asked.
Zhao Shen laughed and said, "Now, the road to Chengdu is indeed a bit troublesome, but I, the Song Dynasty, have hundreds of thousands of soldiers. I have asked the court to mobilize the army. It won't take long for these things to be calmed down."
After receiving his brother's assurance, Guang Ling was naturally relieved, and a smile appeared on his originally crying face.
"Okay! Come on, what do you want to eat in Guangling? Brother Huang will accompany you to eat."
"Brother Emperor, I want to eat cloud cake!"
"Okay, let's eat whatever Guangling wants to eat!"
Although Zhao Shen had coaxed his sister, Princess Guangling, things were obviously not as simple as he said.
Otherwise, he, Zhang Jun and others would not have to worry so much! Sure enough, more than ten days later, news came again.
First, many state capitals on Chengdu Fulu Road were once again occupied by the Tibetans, and their armies were gathering towards Chengdu Fufucheng, obviously wanting to overcome this difficulty.
Secondly, the Song Dynasty's envoy was directly blocked on the road to Chengdu, but there was also a reply from the Tubo clan.
If you want to withdraw your troops, it is not impossible. You must first compensate the Tubo clan for six million taels of military supplies, as well as countless other cloths, ordnance, etc.! Secondly, from then on, Chengdu Prefecture became a commercial and trade area between the two countries, and the Song Dynasty did not allow soldiers to be stationed.
Thirdly, since you want to get married, you should show your sincerity and send the princess over directly.
When these three items are completed, the Tubo army will naturally return to Tubo territory.
Of these three, one is more ruthless than the other, and one is more vicious than the other.
Moreover, it directly broke the original plan of Zhao Shen and others.
Originally, they thought that it would take a month or two at the earliest for the mission to come and go.
By then, whether it is war or peace, the Song Dynasty will have complete preparations.
However, now the Tubo clan has obviously understood the Song Dynasty's intentions and does not want to give the Song Dynasty enough time.
Then, there were only two roads before the Song Dynasty.
The first one is to do exactly what the Tubo people say.
However, doing so is not without its worries.
Who knows if this Tubo tribe will keep their word?
If it is true that there are no troops stationed in Chengdu Prefecture, then wouldn’t Chengdu Prefecture belong to the Tubo people?
Moreover, even if you really want to get married, which princess should you choose?
Everyone knew about Zhao Shen's intentions towards Princess Guangling, so no one dared to bring it up.
The only way left is to dare not do anything else, gather all the troops that can be gathered, and directly fight Tibet to the death.
However, in this case, victory is easy to say. Although the Song Dynasty will definitely suffer a lot of damage, it can finally maintain the current situation for the time being.
But once defeated, I'm afraid it won't be a matter of losing the Chengdu Prefecture.
By then, not to mention the Tubo tribe, which of the surrounding countries would come to take a bite out of the Song Dynasty?
The difficult problem has been placed in front of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty. Now, the only thing left is how to make a choice!
