The road to technology

Chapter 482 Princess Wencheng
After Li Er finished speaking, Ye Liangchen stood there in a daze, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

This Li Er really dared to think, the princess dared to seal it casually.

Ye Liangchen never thought that such a day would come to her, she really wanted to kill all these people in the main hall in one go, but she couldn't.

She quickly said: "Your Majesty, the princess is the title of the daughter of the clan. How can I be named a monk with a foreign surname? Besides, if Tubo finds out about it, wouldn't it damage the majesty of the Tang Dynasty?"

Ye Liangchen quickly refused, it's fine for him to meow into this body, after all, she has been used to it for more than a year, anyway, according to the system, it won't change in the short term, as for some things in life, she has also changed. Very skilled.

But Li Shimin's behavior is taking advantage of her in Ye Liangchen's eyes, isn't it? Isn't the princess just a generation younger than Li Er, how can she agree.

"Sir, I don't know. This is a policy I discussed with you." Li Shimin explained: "If you wait for the army to attack, because of altitude sickness, it may take a long time, but I don't know how many people will be displaced during the period. Originally, waiting for a while It doesn't matter, it's just that the small country of Tubo uses this as a threat to repeatedly violate our territory, it is really unbearable!"

"Besides, there are Turks in the north who are the powerful enemies of the empire. With our current strength in the two-front battle, we are still weak, so we made this bad strategy."

"As for what Mr. Ye is worried about, you can rest assured that the court is now a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, and will definitely not leak this matter. At that time, no one will know whether Mr. Ye is the daughter of the clan."

"And when the Tubo Zanpu boy knew about it, it was the day when Tubo fell. I also heard that Mr. Ye is a practitioner who has the means to move mountains and seas. Expand the living space and expand the territory for the empire."

Well, Li Shimin first explained the difficulties of the empire, then boasted about Ye Liangchen's ability, and finally defined this matter as the expansion of the living space of the human race. I dare say that his definition of the human race is a bit narrow.

But Ye Liangchen didn't refute him, instead she felt that Li Shimin should be like this, and she didn't know if it was the reason for becoming a woman, and now she hated marrying a woman in exchange for peace even more.

But after thinking about it, if she hadn't appeared by herself, maybe this time or in the future, it might be the real Princess Wencheng who went to Tubo, and most likely she would go there with a large number of craftsmen and advanced technology.

At this time, Ye Liangchen remembered the history of Princess Wencheng in his memory.

In fact, Princess Wencheng is not Li Shimin's daughter, she is only the daughter of a clan in the Tang Dynasty, who was temporarily named Princess Wencheng by Li Shimin to fool Songtsen Gampo.

Ye Liangchen secretly thought: The history is so similar now, but this person has been replaced by himself.

If it is the daughter of the original clan, it is estimated that it will be the same as in history. After a long journey, she will arrive in Tubo and marry Songtsen Gampo. Then, in order to show the status of the Tang Dynasty, she will be named queen.

Don't think that Songtsan Gampo built the Potala Palace later because he doted on Princess Wencheng. In fact, this Tubo Zanpu now has six famous wives, and Wencheng is just one of them.And no one thinks that the Potala Palace could have been built without the large quantities of craftsmen and books brought by Princess Wencheng.

Later records further showed that Princess Wencheng's marriage to Tubo was probably just a decoration. Songtsan Gampo only built the Ramoche Temple for Princess Wencheng, while the Jokhang Temple was built for Princess Chizun of Nepal. The statue of Sakyamuni brought as a dowry is placed in the Jokhang Temple.

And nine years later, Songtsan Gampo died, and Princess Wencheng lived in Tubo for 30 years, and finally died of smallpox.

It is undeniable that Princess Wencheng and Songtsan Gampo made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty and Tubo at that time. Because the Tang Dynasty had strong Turkic enemies and no Tubo harassment in the rear, the Tang Dynasty could concentrate on dealing with the Turks, and Tubo benefited The biggest, after all, it is the craftsman and books of the most outstanding country in the world.

However, no matter how his historical achievements are praised by future generations, this is a political marriage after all, and Princess Wencheng, who is the victim of a political marriage, is only temporarily appointed by Li Shimin from his clan, so who cares about the happiness of such a person.

The method of using the daughter of the clan or other women to pretend to be a princess to marry another country was not invented by Li Er, it existed as early as the Han Dynasty.

After all, the emperor is still a human being, and he does not want his daughter to marry far away to drink the northwest wind and eat the soil. After all, in a foreign country, the customs are very different from the Central Plains, and the ethics and morals are even more inhuman. Marrying the daughter of an enemy country is often not a good life.

For example, the customs of the Huns, basically after marrying, if the husband dies, he will marry his son or brother. In a word, the general statement is, "When the father dies, marry the mother, and when the brother dies, marry the sister-in-law." "Wang Zhaojun actually faced this kind of situation. At that time, the Xiongnu Shanyu whom Wang Zhaojun married was very old, so after Wang Zhaojun gave birth to him a daughter, the Shanyu was fine. He thought that he could return to the Han Dynasty after his husband died, but unexpectedly, the son of his husband Hu Hanxie wrote a letter to Emperor Han to marry him.

The results naturally speak for themselves.

Of course, Wang Zhaojun is just a microcosm that everyone is more familiar with. In the Han Dynasty, there was also Princess Xijun, who died of depression after her second marriage.There is also Princess Jieyou, she married three times, but she was old and homesick in the end, and with the consent of the Han Emperor, she returned to the Han Dynasty alive.

This shows how cruel history is.

These people's experiences are of course epic and famous in history, but it is not good to make a TV series to deceive future generations.

So time travel is actually very dangerous, if you accidentally change your hairstyle, you may turn into a money rattail, or be like Ye Liangchen.
But fortunately, Ye Liangchen is not an ordinary person, so she is not afraid, besides, the current Li Er did not ask her to marry Songtsan Gampo, if it was true, she would definitely leave immediately.

Ye Liangchen thought for a long time, and everyone in the Xuanzheng Hall didn't bother her. After all, no one can force her to do this, and they can't force her at present with the methods of practitioners.

Li Er and the others were just making an opinion based on her idea of ​​going west with Master Xuanzang.

At this time, above the quiet hall, a sigh as thin as a gossamer suddenly came out.

Then a voice with the same tone as a sigh came out, and everyone knew it was Ye Liangchen's voice when they heard it: "If that's the case, I will take a country for your majesty, just the accompanying Tiance and Cangyun army. Does your majesty have a plan?"

Li Shimin first walked up to Ye Liangchen and gave her a big gift, and then said: "Thank you so much, sir. Three days later will be a good time, and I will hold a princess canonization ceremony for Mr. Ye at that time, and the westward journey will be in half a year. At that time, after the empire took Tubo, Mr. will continue to travel westward with Master Xuanzang under the pretext of escorting him."

Li Shimin immediately made a decision. For the sake of Tubo, it's okay to delay for some time to learn from the Western Paradise.He also said: "As for the guards, I think that if there are too many, it will arouse the suspicion of the Tubo children, so I want to choose 150 of the best soldiers from the two armies to form a team of 300 people, and wait for the master to send."
