Great Tang princess

Chapter 152 New Year's Diplomatic Event
Seeing the other party start to kneel on the ground begging for mercy, Li Zhi's face instantly became gloomy.

As the emperor, at this moment, he felt that he was being played like a monkey.Wu Zetian next to him also looked bad.

Li Yuechen turned around, smiled sweetly, handed the sword in his hand to Qianniuwei, and then said: "Mother, don't be angry about this, there are always some secrets in the sect that are not known to outsiders, it's normal!"

In this era, inheritance is still more important. Even the emperor will not easily ask others to contribute the skills passed down from his family.

Hearing his daughter's explanation, Li Zhi's complexion improved a bit: "Today is the Lantern Festival, I don't want to kill people! Get lost!"

"Thank the Emperor! Thank the Queen! Thank you, Your Highness!" The other party kowtowed several times in gratitude, and then got up to leave.

"Wait!" Li Yuechen said suddenly.

The other party had already breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard this sound, he stopped suddenly, turned his head a little stiffly, and put a smile on his face that was uglier than crying: "What else do you want, Your Highness?"

Li Yuechen took two steps forward: "As long as your sect develops, as long as you abide by the laws and regulations of our Great Tang, the Palace will not care about it. But in the future, you must absolutely not use this kind of illusion to deceive the people of our Great Tang. Except for sacrifices, you must not demonstrate it at will."

"Yes! The villain remembers it!" The other party replied with a simple salute, and then ran down the tower without stopping.

Seeing the man go down and lead the disciples away in desperation, Li Hong suddenly grinned and murmured as if talking to himself: "I still thought it was some kind of supernatural power, so it was just an illusion... Cough cough cough..."

Pei Qingwan touched his chest while comforting him: "Your Highness, you don't have to doubt yourself because of this, the princess is a Taoist, it's normal to be able to see through it..."

Li Hong coughed for a while, and after recovering, he patted her hand lightly: "Yes, I know."

On the contrary, it was Li Zhi and Wu Zetian who looked at each other, and their appreciation for their daughter increased again.

This daughter's way of thinking has been different from ordinary people since she was a child. She is better at observing the essence of problems and then finding ways to solve them, rather than looking for immortals and ghosts.

Although it is a bit outrageous to disrespect ghosts and gods in this era, it is different for the royal family.

If you can find a way to solve everything, it will definitely be better than relying on ghosts and gods in terms of results.

……

Once the Lantern Festival is over, the year will be over.

But even if the new year is over, according to the experience of previous years, there will not be too many things in the first month.

However, this year seems to be different. Less than three days after the Shangyuan Festival, Li Zhi announced in the court hall that Khotan would set up the Bisha Protectorate, and Khotan King Yuchi Fujaxiong would be the governor.

The location is located two thousand miles southwest of Anxi Protectorate's Mansion, and it is also under the jurisdiction of Anxi Protectorate's Mansion.

In this way, it means that Datang's territory has expanded a lot.

Of course, the good news is that there is no need to send people to guard it. In essence, it is still the territory of King Khotan, but it is under the jurisdiction of Datang in name.

Li Yuechen felt that Yuchi Fujiaxiong's declaration of surrender should be because he saw that Datang had developed a method to increase grain production. In this way, the soldiers would not be short of food, and their combat effectiveness would naturally be improved to a higher level.

Of course, since this method of increasing grain production has been decided to spread across the country, it means that it is impossible to keep it secret. As long as they want to, they can also imitate it.

At the end of the first lunar month, both Qiuci and Tubo came to Datang one after the other.

The only difference is that the king personally came to Kucha, while Tubo only sent an envoy.

King Qiuci's name is Bai Suji. When Li Yuechen first heard this name, he always had a strong sense of disobedience, and he didn't know what relationship he had with Bai Suzhen.

The next day was just about to go to court, so Li Yuechen came to the front of the hall early and met the unshaven King of Kucha.

Originally, Li Yuechen thought that since Qiuci had already been captured by Tubo in the first year of Xianheng, the end should be miserable now.

However, after a lot of ups and downs, he found that although he had a sad look on his brows, he didn't seem to have been abused. It seemed that Tubo hadn't completely captured Kucha yet.

Tuhunmi, the envoy of Tubo, was standing beside him, and even a big beard couldn't hide the two spots of plateau red on his face.

Seeing Li Yuechen coming, the ministers all saluted.

At the same time, I also have some doubts in my heart. Although this princess is an official of the household department, she basically never goes to court. How did she come here today for an unprecedented time?
King Bai Suji of Kucha and Tubo envoy Tuhunmi also saluted.

"Exemption."

Li Yuechen raised his hand, came to Bai Suji, and looked him up and down.

Being stared at by an extremely beautiful little girl, Bai Suji moved his shoulders a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, is there something wrong with Xiao Wang?"

Li Yuechen shook his head slightly, took a step forward, came to him, looked into his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Odds change and even stay the same!"

When she finished saying this, she stared at Bai Suji in front of her, to see if she could find something in his eyes.

However, in his eyes, there was nothing but bewilderment.

After a few seconds of silence between the two, Bai Suji asked cautiously: "What does Your Highness mean? Xiao Wang didn't understand..."

"never mind……"

Seeing his reaction, Li Yuechen also knew that he was probably thinking too much, so he waved his hand, turned and left.

Most people don't know that she usually listens to politics in the passage, so it's better not to enter through the gate.

When they came to the back door of Xuanzheng Hall, Shangguan Wan'er was already waiting here.

"Where did your Highness go?"

"It's okay, the front door turned around." Li Yuechen stretched vigorously, and the bones all over his body "cracked", making Shangguan Wan'er next to him feel a little scary.

Li Yuechen's body was quite different from ordinary people's. Clenching his fist a little bit would cause a burst of bones to explode, making no secret of the powerful power contained in his body.

After chatting for a few more words, two eunuchs came over and opened the door, and then entered the passage one after the other.

After Shangguan Wan'er came in, she sat down behind the table and was about to start grinding ink.

However, with a sudden shaking of the hand, the ink stick was not held firmly, and it fell on the table with a "click".

Li Yuechen, who was about to lean against the wall for a rest, turned his head to look, and found that she was covering her chest with her hands.

"What's wrong?" Li Yuechen walked over worriedly, and asked while holding her shoulder.

Shangguan Wan'er blushed slightly and shook her head: "It's nothing, it's just that my chest has been swollen and painful these days, and Aunt said it's a normal phenomenon..."

"Oh, it looks like you've started too..." Li Yuechen patted her on the shoulder with the expression of someone who came here: "It's okay, I'll get used to it in a few days."

Seeing her expression, Shangguan Wan'er almost couldn't help laughing out loud: "Your Highness has gotten used to it."

"It's okay, how about I write it for you today."

"It's okay, let's do it, Wan'er." Shangguan Wan'er smiled, straightened up and continued grinding the ink.

Li Yuechen didn't say much, according to Xiao He, his mother and other people who had been there, this kind of pain was not unbearable even for normal people.

At this time, the front door opened, all the officials entered, and Li Zhi and his wife also entered the passage.

Li Yuechen and Shangguan Wan'er saluted silently, Li Zhi nodded with a smile, and sat down on the high platform with Wu Zetian side by side.

With Zhang Chengxin's announcement of going to court, today's court meeting officially began.

Although they all knew what the topic of today was, the ministers reported a few news in a casual way.

Then it was officially announced that Bai Suji, king of Kucha, would go to the hall to have an audience.

Li Yuechen in the passage crossed his arms in front of his chest, leaning against the wall and listening to what was going on in the court hall.

Now that Bai Suji has come, it should mean that Tubo's control over Kucha is not so smooth.

Sure enough, in Bai Suji's congratulatory speech to Li Zhi in the court hall, there were various connotations of nutrition and weirdness both in the open and in the dark.

Li Yuechen squatted down slightly, looked out through the gap in the middle of the screen, and found that Tubo envoy Tuhunmi was still expressionless, as if he couldn't hear him.

If you think about it, it is never a simple person who can be a diplomat.

After Bai Suji presented the gift, it was the turn of the Tubo envoy to speak.

Tuhunmi saluted very respectfully, and then said in a loud voice: "To the Emperor, I, Tubo, have always had good relations with the Tang Dynasty..."

Hearing the first sentence, Li Yuechen couldn't help but rolled his eyes. He was going to fight at the border every now and then, and this kind of words could really be said.

After listening to a lot of nonsense, Li Yuechen also understood what the other party meant.

To put it bluntly, I know that Datang has survived the drought, so I don't want to fight anymore, and I want to repair the relationship with Tuyuhun.

Li Yuechen leaned against the wall and shook his head slightly, Tuyuhun was fucking gone, and he even repaired a woolen thread.

Li Zhi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was not angry at all: "Since the Xianheng years, you have taken advantage of the disasters in my Tang Dynasty to capture the four towns of Anxi and dominate the Western Regions... Now you are here to seek peace, it is really a wolf's ambition!"

Li Zhi yelled at the court, but he didn't get angry when he spit Hunmi, and just listened respectfully below.

Anyway, as the old saying goes, the two countries are at war without killing each other.Let Li Zhi scold him if he wants to scold him, and when he finishes scolding, he can go back and return to his life.

Li Yuechen behind the screen was thinking about how to deal with Tubo in the future.

After all, after more than a thousand years, Tibetans are also compatriots. The sooner the unification is completed, the sooner they can be stabilized.

But at present, it is impossible to let Datang hit the plateau.

Therefore, the easiest way is to develop professional soldiers, station them for a long time, and stabilize them after adapting to altitude sickness.

After a long time, Tubo will naturally be included in the bag.

It's just that this method cannot be put into use immediately, and it is still a very time-consuming thing.

Only later.

On the other side, Tuhunmi, who was listening to Li Zhi's scolding in the hall, was thinking in his heart.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was already so angry, so why don't you ask Zanpu to invite Princess Shang Taiping before you came here?
After all, I haven't said anything yet, the emperor has already sprayed it to this extent, if I say it, I might die here today...

Even if he is a foreigner, when he comes to Datang, he only needs to ask a little bit to know how favored Princess Taiping is.

Such a princess may not be able to marry even a country that really has a good relationship, let alone the relationship between Tubo and Tang Dynasty has reached a freezing point.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was February. According to the past, the couple should have brought the prince Li Hong and Li Yuechen to participate.

But this year, because Li Hong's condition got worse, the couple couldn't bear to let him run around, so they only took Li Yuechen with them.

Now with the Princess Plow and the brand-new fertilizer formula, farming has become a joyful thing, so this year's spring plowing ceremony was held very smoothly.

After returning to the palace, Li Zhi still looked very happy: "This new plow invented by Chen'er is extraordinary, and I don't feel tired until now."

Li Yuechen was helping to make tea at the side: "It's a pity that the child can't make a plow that works automatically, otherwise it will be easier."

To be honest, although Li Yuechen is not sure about developing electricity in this era, at least there is still a direction to try.

But the biggest problem is that she doesn't even have a direction for the battery thing, and she doesn't know how to start.

So even if she is lucky and can research power generation equipment, but can't research batteries, it still won't be of much use.

As for the internal combustion engine, don't even think about it. With my own ability and the productivity of this era, it is absolutely impossible to do it.

"A plow that plows the ground automatically?" Mom turned her head and smiled, "Chen'er really dares to think about it."

Li Zhi just smiled and touched his daughter's head, obviously not taking her statement seriously.

Li Yuechen stood up and helped to make tea without paying attention: "My child is just thinking about it, what if I really make it someday?"

"Well, it's good to think about it." Li Zhi smiled and touched the beard on his chin, "Maybe it will help to study other new artifacts."

Although saying this sounded like a consolation, at least it was important to support her daughter's thoughts.

Li Yuechen didn't get up to leave until noon after eating in Yanying Hall.

I don't have to go to class for the children today, I plan to go back to the Chengxiang Temple to rest, and at the same time plan to tell my father when I will let the ministers bring their children to the palace to play, and hold another blind date event at the same time, publicize Get on your own roller skates.

Back in the Chengxiang Hall, Li Yuechen sat down and suddenly thought about the tea, so he beckoned for Fulai to come over: "Go to the craftsman to make another iron pot, and then bring it to the workshop to find someone to try frying tea... "

Li Yuechen danced and talked about the theory he knew, and then added: "You let them try it on their own, it's still the same sentence, it doesn't matter if it can't be done, if it is done, I will reward you a lot!"

"Here!" Fulai agreed with a salute.

Although I wonder if the tea can still be drunk after being roasted, but since His Highness has proposed it, it is natural to spare no effort to complete it.

After Fulai left, Li Yuechen began to calculate how many bearings he had and how much he could sell for a pair of roller skates...
