Emperor Zhenguan

An hour later, Tang Yi finished talking about the glory of the Tang Empire over the years.As the audience, Songtsan Gampo was completely confused. Thinking about the tens of thousands of Tang Yi's enemies, he was beyond shocked.

Thinking about the vast and boundless territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the bright and prosperous culture, he yearned for it even more.

So, he asked: "I would like to ask His Majesty the emperor of your country to marry the princess, so that Tubo and the Tang Dynasty can become good friends. What do you think?"

Tang Yi and the others were taken aback for a moment, then sneered inwardly.

Ask to marry the princess?

You deserve it too?
"Dear Zanpu, we are just businessmen, not our country's envoys. We don't know this kind of thing."

"Okay." Songtsan Gampo was slightly disappointed, and did not make things difficult for the three Tang people.

After chatting for a while, Songtsan Gampo asked them to go back.

After the Tang people left, Songtsan Gambo said to Lu Dongzan: "If I can marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, we can gain a powerful ally. At the same time, we can also learn the powerful culture of the Tang Dynasty and change the status of Tubo. What do you think of your own situation?"

Lu Dongzan thought for a while and said, "Although this is feasible, I don't think so."

"why?"

"Because, if the Tang Dynasty is really that powerful, they won't be willing to form an alliance with us."

"That's true." Songtsan Gampo said thoughtfully: "Forget it, it's not the time to think about those things yet. We must first deal with the enemies around us, and then consider the affairs of the Tang Dynasty. By the way, this mission Tang Chao, are you willing?"

"Yes." Lu Dong praised: "I want to visit the Tang Dynasty and see if that country is really that powerful."

Songtsan Gampo nodded and said, "If possible, you can test whether Emperor Tang wants to marry us."

"Yes."

Let's say that Tang Yi and the three returned to the guest house and immediately closed the door.

"This little king of Tubo is wishful thinking. He actually wants to marry Princess Chao. Doesn't he know that since His Majesty ascended the throne, we have not made any alliances or marriages?" Tang Er said disdainfully.

"Maybe he really doesn't know." Tang San said, "After all, he may have never left Tubo since he grew up."

"It's true." Tang Er sneered.

Tang Yi took out a pen and paper from the box and interrupted them, "Stop chatting, and quickly record what you have seen and heard today. These are for His Majesty."

"Yes."

The three quickly got busy.

Of course they are not ordinary Tang merchants. Those who dare to come to Tubo to do business at this stage will not be those private merchants, only the imperial court's elite merchants.On the surface, they came to Tubo to do business, but in fact they were recording everything in Tubo.

From the basic topographic map to language, humanistic customs, to the political structure of Tubo, domestic ministers, the number of soldiers and horses, etc.

Everything about Tubo must be recorded and handed over to His Majesty the Emperor.

Generally speaking, at present, Tubo is mainly engaged in animal husbandry and concurrently engaged in agriculture.Their animal husbandry is very distinctive, with yaks and dromedaries as special products.Yaks are resistant to cold and hard work, and they are good at walking in mountains. They are mostly pack animals. Their skin is hard and thick and can be used to make armor.Tubo horses are of good breed and large in number, and they are heavily armed with leather, so their cavalry is very powerful.

...

In terms of agriculture in Tibet, there is no rice but only wheat.Wheat is the highland barley wheat cultivated by their ancestors. This kind of wheat is resistant to high and cold temperatures and has a high yield. It is also called black grain and is the staple food of the Tubo people.

A few days later, Tang Yi and others completed the transaction in Tubo and embarked on the journey back to Chang'an.Together with them is Lu Dongzan.

This Lu Dongzan was very eager to learn, and he did not hesitate to bribe Tang Yi with a lot of money, hoping that Tang Yi would teach him Chinese.Tang Yi did not refuse, because he also needed to get more news about Tubo from Lu Dongzan.

Then there is the process of torturing each other.

Changan.

Datang has not had many affairs recently, because everything is very harmonious.

Li Zhiyun instructed a letter from the Governor's Mansion of Fuqi, asking them to train soldiers to familiarize themselves with the plateau climate early, and sent them [-] shi of grain for their training.

Regarding Tubo, Li Zhiyun has already begun to collect information. In his plan, he must send troops within five years.Because he won't sit back and watch Tubo become stronger, and then wait for Songtsan Gampo to play the trick of fighting first and then saluting.

Even if it is not necessary to take down the barren land of Tubo, he will not let Tubo rise.

But how could it be really useless? Taking down Tubo is equivalent to opening up a fast track to Tianzhu, and a fool would not do it.

After dealing with government affairs, Li Zhiyun breathed lightly, got up and stretched his muscles.

Strolling in the palace has become a daily pastime for His Majesty the Emperor.On the other side of the harem, Li Zhiyun really wants to be drunk, but considering sustainable development, he pays more attention to his own health now.

After turning around, Li Zhiyun casually said, "Go to Zheng Cairen's place tonight."

"Yes."

Zheng Cairen, one of the concubines of Emperor Xinna, whose father is Tongshisheren Zheng Renji.To be honest, this woman was not for him, but for him by the queen.

Sometimes Li Zhiyun is also very emotional, his wife is really getting more and more virtuous.

Zheng Cairen actually has a history.Historically, Li Shimin wanted to marry the Zheng family, but Wei Zheng said that Zheng Cairen already had a marriage contract, and then Li Shimin gave up.

Whether there is a marriage contract or not, I don't know.

Anyway, Li Zhiyun now knows that the Zheng family has no engagement for the time being.He didn't know where his wife found such a stunning gift for him, anyway, he was very happy.

Changle Hall.

Yu'er walked up to Empress Yang and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty has gone to Zheng Cairen's place."

Empress Yang nodded and smiled knowingly.

It's not bad for a husband to like young girls. Young ones are better than those old ones.As a queen, she must have the demeanor of a big woman.Nothing could be more right than to help my husband find some young and beautiful girls.

"understood."

Yu'er stepped back slowly.

Jin Yang walked over slowly, leaning against his mother.

"Mother, shouldn't you be angry if your father doesn't come?"

She is still young and doesn't understand very well.

Empress Yang didn't intend to say anything at first, but after thinking about it, she felt that her daughter was about to grow up, and she needed to teach her something, so she said, "Your father often said that you must prescribe the right medicine."

"Ah?" Jinyang was cute, not quite understanding.

The daughter didn't understand, and she didn't explain carefully, instead she asked: "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to embroider a cloak for your father, how is it?"

Speaking of this, Jin Yang said embarrassedly: "Mother, I."

"Forgot?" Queen Yang asked angrily.

"No." She defended in a low voice, and then said, "It's done, but it doesn't look good."

"It doesn't matter." Empress Yang said: "Your father, I love you the most. Even if you make the same thing as a dog, he will think that yours is really good-looking, and maybe he will wear it to show off."

"Really?" The little girl blushed, very happy.

"When did my mother lie to you?" After Queen Yang finished speaking, she added: "However, you are going to grow up now, and you can no longer be as self-willed as before, do you know?"

"My daughter is not self-willed." She mumbled.

Empress Yang sighed: "You have to remember, your father is the emperor first, and then the father. Just because he spoils you, doesn't mean you can do anything wrong. Last month, you rode a horse at school and ran into the teacher. This is wrong. It's your father who is bearing the name for you, do you understand?"

"Oh." Jin Yang said: "Then next time I don't ride a horse at school."

"Ah."

Then, Empress Yang rambled on a lot to teach Jinyang.
