Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 837: Eyes!heart!

"Duh! Lead the way."

Arriving at the Taiji Hall of the Imperial Palace, Li Shimin and Prince Li Zhi were present in the main hall, and many ministers, civil and military, stood in line.

Li Shimin summoned all the ministers to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty to propose marriage for Tubo Songtsan Gampo.

Speaking of the Tubo Kingdom, Tang Zhenguan established good relations with the Tang Dynasty in the eighth year of Zhenguan, but because the emperor refused to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty in the tenth year of Zhenguan, Songtsan Gampo was furious, using the excuse of Tuyuhun as a hindrance, and personally led the army Defeat Tuyuhun and take advantage of the victory to march into the city of "Songzhou" where the ethnic minorities in the Tang Dynasty were.

At that time, General Han Wei of the "Songzhou" garrison led Qingqi to investigate what Tubo wanted to do, but unexpectedly, his soldiers were beheaded and captured because he underestimated the enemy.

The court of the Tang Dynasty learned of this, and Tuyuhun was already conquered by the Tang Dynasty at that time, and it was regarded as a territory of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin was furious, and ordered Hou Junji, Zhili Sili, and Niu Jinda to lead the army against Tubo. military.

Unexpectedly, the Tubo army looks mighty, but its strength is weak. The Tang army has not attacked the whole line, and the Tubo army has been defeated by Niu Jinda, the forward army of the Tang Dynasty. Handing over the occupied Tuyuhun jurisdiction "Dangxiang" and "Bailanqiang" and other prefectures allowed Datang to restore control over Tuyuhun. Since then, the Tubo army has never dared to invade the land of Datang.

After a few years, Songtsan Gampo was actually not dead. This time, he sent an envoy to bring 5000 taels of gold and hundreds of other treasures, and once again asked to marry the daughter of the Tang clan.

Today the imperial court is discussing this matter.

The emperor waited for the officials of the Huangmen to inform all the ministers about the matter in the hall, so that they could discuss the countermeasures.

There was King Jiangxia and Li Daozong, Minister of Rites, who asked three questions but did not ask four questions, and actually played the Tao in the hall.

"Your Majesty, I have a mission to play. I think that Tubo is the barrier to the west of the Tang Dynasty, and Songtsan Gampo, the king of Han Dynasty, is also considered a hero. Why doesn't the Emperor choose a daughter of the clan to marry to Tubo, so that Tubo and Tang can become good friends of Qin and Jin?" , will always be a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty."

"Tell me about the daughter of the clan's family marrying to Tubo. It's a long way to go. The folk customs of Tubo are different from those of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty is the celestial dynasty of the state. Wouldn't marrying the daughter of the clan's family to this foreign barbarian make the whole world miserable?" people joke."

Li Shimin didn't think that this matter would be of any benefit to Datang. Marrying a daughter was a small matter, but the face of the empire was a big deal. He was angry with Tubo and asked to marry Datang's daughter again and again, saying these words meant to reject Tubo again.

As soon as this remark fell, Li Daozong continued to speak.

"No; Your Majesty must not renew the war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty for the sake of saving face, and give up a daughter to save the people of the world. Please think twice about which is more important."

This guy seems to be thinking about the Tang Dynasty, but in fact he wants to take this opportunity to disgust Xu Tian. He wants to take this opportunity to let the princess of Xiangcheng marry Tubo, which will arouse Xu Tian's hatred for the emperor and make a big fuss in the court. To make it lose the right to assist the prince, and secondly, to make the disaster move eastward and stir up Tubo's hostility towards the Qin family.

He didn't know that Princess Xiangcheng had already entered Qin's residence and became Xu's bride...

How did Li Shimin know the thoughts of such a villain as Li Daozong, the dragon couch said impatiently.

"There is some truth in what you said. Let's talk about who will marry Tubo?"

"Your majesty looks good; I think that the princess of Xiangcheng is getting older and has outstanding appearance and literary talent. She is the best candidate to marry Tubo. This can not only relieve the princess's pain of passing years and youth and aging, but also make the Tang Dynasty win the support of the foreign kingdoms." , why not do it!"

Just after Li Daozong finished speaking, the emperor and the prince cried out inwardly.

"It's going to be bad!"

Sure enough, but seeing Qin Wenyuan come out with an angry face, he pointed at Li Daozong and cursed loudly.

"What are you talking about, you old man? Why don't you marry your daughter to that foreign tribe who eats raw meat, but you dare to provoke this king here? When the idea hits the head of my beloved wife, believe it or not, this king will destroy you old bastard."

Li Shimin saw Qin Wenyuan's anger rising, fearing that this bastard would fight Li Daozong in the hall, he quickly shouted.

"Qin Wenyuan, don't be impatient. King Jiang Xia is just talking about this matter. He didn't know that the prince of Xiangcheng had entered Xu's family as his daughter-in-law. He didn't know it since ancient times and it was not a crime. Let's discuss this matter again. Ministers, do you have other ideas? proposal."

Qin Wenyuan didn't need to say much when he heard the words of the emperor, but he fixed his eyes on Li Daozong bitterly, making this old thing restless like a light on his back. A few dare not speak nonsense here.

This fight was originally an idea that disgusted Qin Wenyuan's face. After all, Xiangcheng had betrothed Qin Wenyuan, and thinking of Qin Wenyuan's embarrassment when he heard this proposal but was inconvenient to raise objections, he was happy. What he lost was his own face.

This guy was annoyed but he didn't dare to confront Qin Wenyuan head-on, he just cursed in his heart, this kind of deceitful behavior made many ministers in the hall secretly laugh.

The marriage between Qin Wenyuan and Xiangcheng finally made Li Shimin tell the ministers in the hall.

All the ministers in the hall heard the emperor's words that the princess had entered the Qin family, and the silent Qin Wenyuan, a bastard, had become the emperor's son-in-law. They all congratulated the emperor for his good son-in-law. The atmosphere that knocked out sparks eased.

After a lot of excitement, the hall returned to the topic of discussion.

The ministers were in favor or against the marriage, but when Li Shimin was having difficulty making a decision, he listened to Qin Wenyuan's statement.

"Your Majesty, my humble servant thinks that it is a shame for the empire to seek peace through the method of marriage because of scruples about border troubles. Thinking that the Tang Dynasty is the kingdom of heaven, are the men of the Tang Dynasty so bloody? They are so weak that they make women To make sacrifices to gain a corner of peace, Tubo is only a small country, and it is no problem to marry a daughter of the Tang clan. However, since ancient times, love between a man and a woman requires both parties to be willing. If so, Tubo dared to use threats. To achieve the purpose of forcibly marrying the daughter of the Great Tang clan, there is no doubt that there is a suspicion of humiliating the empire, so I request an order to lead the army to pacify Tubo for the emperor."

Qin Wenyuan said the matter of Tubo's marriage proposal easily and normally, but the arrogance in his words made Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and other generals applaud loudly, while those in the court who were conservative or had various connections with Tubo But the ministers have their own ideas, secretly hating Xu Tian and other reckless people who always use force to talk things out.

In their minds, giving up a daughter of the great Tang clan in exchange for the tranquility of the frontier fortress would not make a big business, but truly forget the dignity of a great country and the inviolable dragon prestige.

Li Shimin looked at Qin Wenyuan with a smile on his face, feeling very happy.

"This little bastard is worthy of being Lao Tzu's son-in-law. The sluggishness of the civil and military courts in the court just needs such uplifting words that are not afraid of all provocations to stir up, so that my subjects will have the strong confidence of the empire and deal with all crises. courage."

Thinking so, the old man of the emperor was about to praise Qin Wenyuan, and once again rejected Tubo's proposal to marry the daughter of the clan. .

"Your Majesty, just now, Prince Xu said that Tubo asked to marry the daughter of the Tang clan. It is the most reasonable statement in the world that both parties need to be willing. Marrying a daughter of the clan must be admiring the civilization of the Tang Dynasty and making them well-read poems and books and proficient in the etiquette of the clan. Knowing about it, there might be a woman who loves the folk customs outside the Great Wall and is willing to marry the Tubo prince, such a wonderful thing, both emotionally and rationally, is also a good talk in the world."

Qin Wenyuan heard the old man's words, and secretly lamented that the trajectory of history cannot be moved by manpower, and the history of Princess Wencheng and the pro-Fortress is likely to be achieved in sight.

Li Shimin agreed to implement Yang Shidao's proposal, and the court ordered that all daughters in the clan who are about to marry can recommend themselves, and they are not allowed to make a forced reconciliation.

As expected by Qin Wenyuan, at the Xiaochao meeting a few days later, Li Daozong spoke in public.

"Report to the emperor; Li Xiaowan, the little girl of my courtier, Mu Songtsan Gampo has the might of an eagle beyond the Great Wall, and is willing to make peace with Tubo on behalf of the Tang Dynasty. I implore the emperor to do it."

"Really?"

"My minister did not say anything in vain! Now the little girl is waiting for the emperor's orders in the Yeting Palace."

Seeing what Li Daozong said was true, Li Shimin spoke to the eunuch Liu Gonggong beside him.

"Wu Meiniang, the talented person, brings Li Xiaowan into the palace!"

After a while, a beautiful, plump and beautiful woman brought Li Daozong's daughter into the palace. After the two daughters visited the emperor, they were given a seat by the emperor's side.

Li Shimin smiled and said to Li Xiaowan.

"I heard your father said that you want to recommend yourself to go to Tubo for marriage. Whether this is true or whether you have something difficult to say, I can make decisions for you in the palace today."

Li Xiaowan stood up, traced Qin Wenyuan several times with resentful eyes, and said after paying homage to the emperor.

"There is nothing embarrassing about the courtier's daughter. What she did was out of her heart. She begged the emperor to allow the courtier's daughter to marry Prince Songtsan Gampo, so that she could go abroad to practice the ideal of educating the people as soon as possible."

Qin Wenyuan noticed that the woman resented his gaze, and thought to himself.

"Young master has never offended you, but you, a naughty brat, provoked Changle to return to the palace that day, and my young master has not settled with you yet, but you have made an inch of it to make my young master your enemy. I really don't know what it means."

On the other hand, Wu Meiniang took in Li Xiaowan's eyes of resentment against Qin Wenyuan. For Datang, the youngest prince of the opposite sex, who is as smart as Wu Meiniang, who can be called a monster, she doesn't know how much grievance Qin Wenyuan has with Li Xiaowan. It seems that people with the status of Prince Qin should not have any intersection with Li Xiaowan.

This is the strength of Wu Meiniang, who observes words and expressions in everything, and is best at spying on people's hearts and controlling them.

Qin Wenyuan found that someone was looking at him, and got rid of the resentment of disdain for Li Xiaowan. He had already searched for his gaze, but found that it was the emperor's talent who was looking at him. , and, it is rare to see these charming beauties, but at this moment, some feelings of horror suddenly popped up in my brain.

Yes!This is the empress who took over the Great Tang Dynasty. If she looks at the young master with such eyes, is it possible that she is also interested in the young master?
Both Wu Meiniang and Qin Wenyuan peeped at each other with unnoticed eyes, and occasionally the two people's eyes collided and they quickly separated, but the seeds of mutual vigilance were planted in their hearts.

This is not a good sign, although Qin Wenyuan has no intention of changing history, but because of his time travel, history has changed slightly.

Qin Wenyuan searched for Wu Meiniang's historical trajectory in his brain, but secretly thought about it in his heart.

"No matter what happens to you in the future, if you dare to bring chaos to the world and covet the result of the Xu family's hard work, I might as well destroy everything about you first."

However, Wu Meiniang and Qin Wenyuan had different ideas, thinking to herself that if she had Lord Qin's strong support, wouldn't she be able to gain a higher status in the palace...

In the hall, Qin Wenyuan and Wu Meiniang had their own thoughts, but the emperor smiled and talked to Li Xiaowan.

"Since you have such an idea, I will help you!"

After saying this, Li Shimin was the minister in charge of the clan, the Minister of Zongzhengsi said.

"Princess Li Xiaowan was conferred the title of Princess Li Xiaowan, and the clan recorded in the genealogy, so that she could go to Tubo outside the Great Wall to get married, to spread the Tang civilization and educate the people outside the Great Wall. The virtue of this will win the submission of all peoples and be a good friend to all generations."

Li Daozong and Li Xiaowan's father and daughter received an order to thank each other, and Tubo Songtsan Gampo's proposal to marry the daughter of the Tang clan had a perfect ending.

More than ten days later, the people of Chang'an City send Princess Wencheng out of the fortress to get married. Under the banner, Li Daozong led a magnificent cavalry team of thousands of people including the imperial imperial guards.

Behind the cavalry were the knights sent by Tubo to the Tang Dynasty to greet the bride. Hundreds of mighty soldiers were fully armored and held long spears. Their solemn appearance made the watching people applaud.

After this time, Princess Wencheng will live forever and pass down her reputation through the ages!
Songtsan Gampo led the army to meet the princess in the "Bohai" near the border of the Tang Dynasty, and warmly received Li Daozong as a son-in-law, and made the old man so happy that he didn't know where he was.

The old man was very happy, but he didn't know that the daughter in the carriage, looking away from her homeland, had already burst into tears...

After the grand wedding outside the Great Wall, Li Daozong returned to Tang Dynasty.

Songtsan Gampo was considered a sentimental man. Considering the living habits of the Tang people, he built another palace for Princess Wencheng Li Xiaowan to live in, and because Li Xiaowan didn't like the custom of Tibetan ocher noodles, he actually ordered the prohibition of Tibetan ocher noodles. , Tubo people are proud of the costumes of the Tang Dynasty, and they can be regarded as Princess Wencheng and her relatives outside the Great Wall, so that the Tang civilization planted seeds in various parts of the Western Regions and contributed to the harmonious coexistence of all ethnic groups.

Princess Wencheng's relationship with Tubo soon became a thing of the past in the Tang Dynasty. The imperial palace, which symbolizes the highest power of the Tang Empire, handles military and political affairs as before. Or the disciples are always happy to seek official positions.

All the ministers come and go, keen to socialize, the restaurants, teahouses, and brothels in Chang'an City are full of business, and most of the people who come in and out are high-ranking officials and many aristocratic princes and playboys.

Qin Wenyuan spends most of his time teaching the crown prince in the East Palace, and he has some new understanding of the affairs of the palace.
