The Tubo people asked to marry the Tang Dynasty princess?

This matter...

This is not the first time. Since the Tang envoy went to Tubo once, he accidentally said that the Tang princess married Tuyuhun Khan.￥f.￥f

The Tubo people were unwilling to accept it. What is the small Tuyuhun? In the face of the powerful Tubo country, it is a world of difference. Why can they marry the Tang Dynasty princess, but Tubo has no?

No, absolutely not!

The Tubo people were very dissatisfied and immediately submitted a letter to Chang'an and asked the Emperor of Tang to marry the princess.

But unfortunately, Li Shimin refused, and he refused twice.

The Tubo people were very injured!

Although this invasion of Songzhou was caused by others, it was also a very important reason for not asking to marry the Tang princess again and again.

Many soldiers fought with the mentality of regaining face for Zanpu. The final result was to capture Songzhou City first, but unfortunately they did not defend it.

Perhaps the Tubo people were not good at defending the city at all, so when Niu Jinda's army arrived, they soon could not defend it.

But never retreated!

Instead, they confronted the Tang army in the west of Songzhou, which greatly meant to make a comeback at any time.

If the Tang Dynasty could have been consumed with them in normal times, the Jiannan Road in Shu was rich in resources and was not worried about the supply of food and grass. On the contrary, the Tubo Plateau had a rugged terrain, a severe cold climate, and inconvenient transportation, so it would be difficult to last for too long.

This was originally an advantage for the Tang army, but now it cannot be used.

When the Xueyantuo people were about to move in the north, the military strength of Guanzhong was empty, and the army needed to rush back to defend the capital as soon as possible, so it would not take too long.

So, the Tubo people now make this request, which is a bit like taking advantage of the situation.

Reject it?

This time, I'm afraid it's not the case. When facing many enemies, if they can separate and disintegrate and defeat them one by one, it will naturally be the best thing.

If a woman could stabilize the Tubo people, it seemed like a good thing that could not be obtained. Moreover, the battle between the two sides in Songzhou was a confrontation. The Tang Dynasty was not forced to marry, but the princess married.

It is not embarrassing to be honest. When there are major practical benefits, everything becomes unusual.

Of course, the key is still what His Majesty the Emperor thinks. After all, the one who got married was the princess, and the "daughter" of His Majesty Li Er.

Li Shimin pondered about this for a long time and said softly: "What do you think?"

"This... Your Majesty, it is a good thing to appease Tubo and make friends with each other. However, Tubo is far away and cold, and the princess will suffer if she descends..."

In short, marriage is beneficial, but it is necessary to make a grievance from the princess. How to deal with it depends on what you care more about.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and whispered: "Tubo is quite sincere in asking for marriage to the princess, and his great prime minister Lu Dongzan has set off. He is ready to come to Chang'an in person to propose marriage."

"Oh?" Everyone was shocked. Tubo was very similar to the prime minister, and it was the only prime minister under Zanpu and above ten thousand people, with great power. Lu Dongzan was even more amazing. Zanpu Songtsen Gampo succeeded to the throne at a young age, which was his support. It can be said that the power of Tubo in his early years was actually in his hands.

Such an important figure came to Chang'an in person, and his sincerity was really high.

Li Shimin said leisurely: "When I discuss with the concubine, I will see which princess is at the age of marriage. She can marry her."

There was no queen in the palace, and the affairs of the anus were mainly presided over by Concubine Wei. Li Shimin said this, but it seemed that he was moved and left room for him. Without him, how could the emperor be willing to marry his biological daughter to the unattainable and extremely bitter and cold plateau?

At this point, Li Chengqian's reaction was very fast. He was not concerned about Li Zhi in time before, so he let Li Tai take the lead. Naturally, he could not fall behind at this moment.

"Father, most of my sisters are engaged and not suitable for marriage. Now, the two sisters of Hengshan and Jinyang are not engaged yet. However, they are still young and are not at the age of marrying each other, so it is not suitable."

Li Chengqian said this very timely, and the court officials immediately realized the difficulties of the emperor. It was not that the emperor was unwilling to marry his daughter, but that all the suitable ones were allowed to marry, and those who were not allowed to marry were still young, so they were not suitable at all.

Especially the remaining two princesses of Hengshan and Jinyang are the daughters of Empress Changsun, and are the flesh of His Majesty the Emperor. How can they marry and marry each other?

What the emperor was not good at saying, the crown prince said it tactfully, and then he would think that the ministers would help find the steps.

"Your Majesty, since the princesses are not at the age of marriage, I wonder if there are suitable candidates in the royal family?" Fang Xuanling suggested in a low voice.

It's not a proposal at all, is it a convention? Princess Honghua, who had married Tuyuhun before, was also the daughter of the royal family.

After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "I don't know if there is a candidate for this, so I'd better ask the imperial concubine before talking about it."

Cen Wenben listened aside, feeling sad, and didn't know which princess in the royal family was in trouble.

Changsun Wuji, who was standing beside him, seemed to have thought of something and said, "Your Majesty, why not reply to Yunlu Dongzan first, and then discuss the marriage in detail after he comes to Chang'an."

After saying this, everyone's hearts moved. This is the reason!

Now I am anxious, so I will not refuse at first, but I will not agree. I will stabilize the Tubo people first. As for what Lu Dongzan said after he arrived in Chang'an, I will talk about it later.

This move can leave enough room for maneuver for the Tang Dynasty, and many things can be handled better. By the way, we can also test the intentions of the Tubo people, whether they really plan to truce the war or delay the war.

Of course, Changsun Wuji may have some other considerations, but others don’t know it!

The marriage with Tubo was decided to be big. Now people are really concerned about the situation on the grassland. What happened to Li Ji went to ambush Xue Yantuo?

Li Zhi and Xie Yi are in Dingxiang, but there is progress. Are they safe?

Not only was Li Shimin and the court very concerned about this, but the two wives in Wangchuan villa were also quite concerned about it.

Originally, Xie Yi wanted to hide it from them, but news in Chang'an City was flying everywhere, and Zheng Liwan was an extremely smart person, so it was not difficult to figure it out.

Xie Yi's trip to Hedong suddenly changed to a grassland adventure, which is inevitably worrying, especially with the precedents of the past year.

In the Wangchuan villa, Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan stood in a dry and warm yard, looking at the north, with a serious expression.

It is now November, and Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan have been pregnant for more than five months, and their stomachs have begun to show signs of pregnancy. They are getting bigger and bigger.

Because the weather is cold, Nanxun Pavilion is too wet and cold near the water, and it is no longer suitable for living, especially for the two pregnant women. Now it has changed to a dry place.

The slim lady Wu Er walked into the yard and saw the figures of the two. She hurriedly said, "Don't worry, two sisters. You know Alang's ability. He will not do things that are unsure. Don't worry, auspicious people will have their own appearance."

"Yeah!" Du Xijun gently stroked his lower abdomen and said leisurely: "Sanlang said that he will definitely come back before the child is born."

Zheng Liwan also said: "We believe in Sanlang. Don't be too worried now. The doctor said that depression will affect the fetus and childbirth."

"Well, the most important thing for us now is to raise our body well, and the children in our belly are the most important." It is related to the continuation of the Xie family's incense. Especially when Xie Yi is in danger, it is even more important.

Wu Er Madam smiled and said, "That's right, let's take it easy. If Alang comes back and sees his two sisters, I can't afford it."

"Does Sister Wu have to wait until Saburo comes back before changing her words?"

After Zheng Liwan asked this, Madam Wu Er blushed suddenly.

"In the next six months, our health will be inconvenient. Whenever Saburo comes back, his sister will be the favorite of a special room, and it will be too late to change his words."

Zheng Liwan echoed and flirted, making Mrs. Wu even more embarrassed...

She is no longer the ignorant little girl back then, and now she is not the young girl in love with the beginning of love. He has some hope and respect for certain things.

Since there was a misunderstanding in the New Year, some messy scenes often appear in her dreams. After waking up, she blushed.

Now seeing Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan holding big belly, she couldn't help but wonder what would it look like if she was pregnant one day?

Just when Wu Er Madam was fascinated, someone came to report: "Second Madam, Princess Jincheng is here. Please see the two ladies."

"This..." Du Xijun's condition was naturally inconvenient to go out to meet people. Although Princess Li Anning of Jincheng was also an acquaintance, she was still a little bit like that, so she had to go to meet Zheng Liwan and Wu Er Madam.

The moment she saw Zheng Liwan, Li Anning was a little surprised. She knew that Mrs. Zheng was pregnant and thought that it would be Du Xijun who came out to see her, but she didn't want to...

"I'm sorry to bother Sister Zheng."

Zheng Liwan smiled and said, "You are polite. Although you are pregnant and have heavier body, it is beneficial to walk a few steps appropriately."

"That's good." Li Anning said: "Why don't you see Sister Du?"

"She occasionally feels cold and is resting now, so it's not convenient to see guests."

"Is it serious? Do you need to visit?"

"It doesn't matter. She is resting now, so let's not disturb you first." Zheng Liwan quickly changed the subject and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the princess here?"

Li Anning immediately said aggrievedly: "I am avoiding disasters, and I don't know if I can escape."

"Uh, what happened?" Zheng Liwan was a little dazed and surprised. The princess of the Prince's Mansion of Jiangxia County said that there were many disasters, which was a bit incredible.

"Sister Zheng doesn't know anything. Tubo people asked the Tang Dynasty for marriage to marry the princess, but the princess has no suitable princess to marry. My age and identity in the royal family happened to be..." Li Anning felt very aggrieved and even looked a little desperate.

Zheng Liwan suddenly understood that he had heard Xie Yi talk about this and knew that the most feared thing these royal women in the royal family were marriage. Now it was Li Anning's turn to be in trouble.

"Are you sure?"

"Not yet, but it should be almost done. I heard that the court has invited Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan to come to Chang'an to discuss the marriage. If it is decided, I am afraid I will be unable to get over it."

Li Anning said helplessly: "Concubine Wei has already looked for my mother and has had hints, so... I don't want to stay in Chang'an City, run to my sister to hide for peace, and I also hope to get an idea from my sister to see if there is a way to escape this disaster."

"This..." Zheng Liwan pondered for a moment and said leisurely: "The daughter of the royal family is already among the alternatives for marriage. Once Your Majesty issues an order, it is indeed difficult for the princess to avoid it. If you use means to escape, how can you know if Your Majesty will be angry? What should you do if you implicate Ling Zun and Brother Ling?"

Li Anning was silent. It was true. She was not alone. She could not live for herself. She had to consider the family of Jiangxia County Prince's Mansion.

"Then there is nothing we can do?"

"It's not that there is no one, but I just can't imagine that if Sanlang was in Chang'an, he might be able to give advice to the princess, but he is not here now." Zheng Liwan may not have no choice but to do so, but she just dare not make decisions without authorization. On the one hand, she is afraid of implicating the Xie family, and on the other hand, she is afraid of having any bad impact on the Prince's Mansion of Jiangxia County.

"Yes, what should I do? Unfortunately, Xie Changshi is not here." The little princess agreed with this very much. In her impression, Xie Yi was versatile and had a right idea. There must be a way, but unfortunately he is not here now.

"I wonder when will Changshi return to Chang'an?"

Zheng Liwan shook her head gently and said, "I don't know. I'm still in Dingxiang now, so I don't know when I will come back."

"Dingxiang?" The little princess also looked up north, and in an instant, another person was looking forward to Xie Yi's return as soon as possible.
