Great Tang princess

Chapter 286
The view of peace in this era is not the same as that in the future. In this era, peace is regarded as a normal diplomatic method.

But Li Yuechen didn't like it. No matter what the purpose was, equal communication between the two countries would definitely not be resolved by sending a woman there.

What she wants is not that she or her two older sisters will not be sent to be married, but that the future royal princesses will not be sent to be married!

The ministers may not understand what the princess said. Why do you have to go to war when you can obviously send a woman there?

But now that the order has been issued and the emperor has expressed his support, this discussion can be concluded.

The next day, the Tubo envoy received a reply from Datang: My Princess Datang will never get married in the future, if you don't accept it, let's try to fight.

In the Hall of Renshou, Wu Zetian leaned on the back of the chair, looked at the teacup in front of him and said, "Marrying your relatives is the duty of a royal princess, so..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Yuechen: "Aniang, if you really want to fulfill the responsibility of the royal family, you should be like me, go to the battlefield to make contributions, and personally shoulder the important task of defending the family and the country!"

"It's nice to say, if every member of the royal family is like the late emperor or you, the royal family will probably be in complete chaos!" Wu Zetian said, casting her a glance.

"So, this is a problem of system and education." Li Yuechen twisted his index finger around a lock of his hair, "The situation of the late emperor at that time was hard to say, even if you don't think about it! If the emperor himself will be fine, it may not be against..."

It stands to reason that this kind of topic is forbidden to talk about, but now that the whole family is sitting here, no one thinks that this topic should not be talked about.

Li Zhi also had a calm smile on his face, listening to his daughter's eloquent talk, and then asked: "But from the perspective of Prince Yin, how can you ensure that you will not be restricted by the late emperor after you ascend the throne?"

"So, the system!" Li Yuechen replied, "Gaozu gave too much reward to the late emperor, resulting in no seal in the end, and the power is even greater than the crown prince... There is a problem in itself!"

Hearing that his daughter connoted Gaozu, Li Zhi didn't say anything. Anyway, there is only one family chatting now, and there are no historians around, so there is no need to worry about it being leaked.

Li Yuechen picked up his teacup and took a sip: "Actually, taking a step back, it doesn't matter if you are more powerful than the prince, but the premise is to gain the trust of the prince. But in the end, it ended up with a brother-in-law, regardless of family relationship, which shows that there is something wrong with education. !"

"Then tell me, how do you plan to change?" Wu Zetian asked with raised eyebrows.

"Build a school exclusively for the royal family, and all members of the royal family will study in it in the future."

After chatting in this way, there was no time or order, and it didn't end until late at night.

But through this chat, Wu Zetian understood why her husband insisted on letting her inherit the throne.

However, Wu Zetian is more supportive of her daughter's own ideas. She wants to make major reforms. In fact, not being an emperor is the best choice.

As an emperor, you can't do whatever you want in many things, but if you are not an emperor, you will not be restricted by your status, and you can naturally do what you want to do drastically.

But the premise is... the emperor must fully support and cooperate with her.

……

The Tubo envoy went back after getting the answer. Although he didn't express his attitude on the spot, Li Yuechen knew that the war between Tang Dynasty and Tubo was not over yet.

That place must be merged into the territory of Datang!Even if they don't take the initiative to attack because of this, Li Yuechen will take the initiative to complete this matter one day.

Recently, the production of the second hot air balloon is about to be completed, and when the number increases to more than fifty, Li Yuechen will start to set up a training air assault company.

The air assault company is not a full-time paratrooper, but is responsible for flying hot air balloons, throwing weapons at high altitude, using semaphore to communicate, and transporting soldiers and so on.

At the same time, the number of prisoners trained by Li Xian was almost the same. Li Yuechen planned to divide these people into two waves and form logistics and engineering units respectively.

The reform of the army is very easy, because now this army belongs to Li Yuechen, and he can change it as he wants.

After the sewing machine appeared, I am afraid that Qianniuwei has changed the most. Now all Qianniuwei have changed into black military uniforms. Every day, a battalion of soldiers is responsible for protecting the safety of the emperor and his children.

These soldiers were all in high spirits. Watching them line up and walk around the imperial city in neat steps every day, I felt that the security level of the imperial city had improved a lot in an instant.

When they occasionally appeared outside the imperial city, they would attract the attention of other people around them. Many teenagers and girls would look at them in surprise, with envy shining in their eyes.

Perhaps, in the future, these boys and girls will also enter the barracks and become part of the defense of Datang.

……

In a blink of an eye, the time came to the end of September.

Li Yuechen rode his tall horse and galloped all the way back to the palace.

Although today is not a festival, almost everyone in the palace is busy, because almost all the beauties from all over the world have arrived, and they are about to start choosing concubines for the prince.

During this period of time, Li Yuechen has been waiting for this day. If this kind of big melon is not shared, it will definitely leave regrets in life.

That is to say, I have become a woman, otherwise, I have to come here to experience the joy of the feudal era!

I can't experience it myself now, but it doesn't prevent me from seeing how my brother chooses.

The horseshoes with iron palms knocked out a crisp rhythm on the newly paved hardened road in the palace. Li Yuechen entered the palace from Xuanwu Gate and trotted all the way to Renshou Hall.

In the hall, not only the husband and wife, but also the brothers and sisters were there.

As soon as Li Yuechen came in, he put his shoulder on the third brother's shoulder: "Brother, how do you feel for the beauty contest for you today?"

"No way..." Li Xian drooped his eyelids, looking like a sage who was not interested, "I might as well play by myself in the East Palace with all this time..."

When I said this, my voice was very low, and I looked at my mother from time to time, as if I was afraid of being discovered.

Li Yuechen smiled lightly: "It's okay, I'll be here today, and I'll let my brother observe by the way."

"Speaking of which, does the prince have any requirements?" Princess Yiyang, who was also called to observe (watch the fun), asked.

"As long as you don't bother me on weekdays..." Li Xian replied silently with a cold look.

After all, he has no shortage of women now, and those concubines, Li Yuechen, have also seen them. To be honest, they are really good-looking!
In this day and age, it is almost unnecessary to expect women who are more beautiful than those in the court.

After all, the folks can't even eat enough to eat, so how can they afford beautiful women?The women in the court and nobles are basically at the peak of this era.

And Li Yuechen is currently recognized as the number one beauty in the Tang Dynasty, not only because of her status, but because she is really good-looking.

In Li Zhi's eyes, his daughter still maintains the cuteness of her childhood.

But in the eyes of outsiders, Li Yuechen is now tall and well-proportioned, like a walking clothes rack.On a face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, while there is a sense of heroism, the appearance is becoming more and more similar to that of Wu Zetian when he was young, and the proportion of the facial features is very harmonious.

If she didn't wear a ponytail, but put her hair down, she would even exude a coquettish attitude.

……

In this day and age, beauty pageants are also a very troublesome thing, not only depends on looks, but also talents such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even activities such as riding a horse and throwing pots. It takes several days to complete.

In the morning, seven or eight hundred beauties were gathered in Ming Fuyuan, standing in two squares on both sides.

At this moment, neither the father nor the two elder brothers will come, so only the queen and a few daughters are watching.

Li Yuechen stood on the high platform in the middle, looked up and saw the darkness.

Even if she has good eyesight, it is difficult to tell which one is good-looking and which one is not.Especially since these people are all wearing the same clothes, it is even more difficult to identify.

This draft is similar to that in TV dramas. These women are all wearing tulle clothes, showing their figures.

Anyway, the judges are all women, so there is no need to worry about fame.

Wu Zetian was even more exaggerated, holding a binoculars in his hand and started to look at them one by one, while Zhang Chengxin, the chief executive, was waiting beside him. If the queen asked about something, he would immediately report the other party's information.

Including a few feet in height, weight, age, family background and other information.

Not to mention, Zhang Chengxin, the general manager, is really not for nothing, and his work ability is excellent.

Li Yuechen walked in the middle of the phalanx, turning back and forth to look at the beauties around him.

After seeing her, these beauties didn't dare to look at her, and all lowered their heads.

This is not only because of the status of the princess, but more because the princess is indeed much stronger than them both in appearance and temperament.

But one of them was obviously different. When Li Yuechen came in front of her, she bowed her head to show respect, and then continued to look forward.

Li Yuechen looked at it carefully with some curiosity, and when he saw it this way, he was immediately astonished.

Among other things, this woman is really good-looking, unlike my two older sisters or sister-in-law, their beauty is more or less restrained.

But the beauty in front of me is different. She is like a blooming peony. She obviously doesn't wear much makeup, but she just looks brightly colored.

She has big eyes, curved willow-leaf eyebrows, high bridge of the nose... Every facial feature looks good, but when put together on her face, it can still make people feel another kind of unique beauty.

Different from Li Yuechen's heroic beauty, this woman is the kind of beauty that you want to have at first glance, just like the big brother's woman in many Hong Kong movies, it seems to be able to arouse the possessive desire in people's hearts.

If this woman is placed in the future for more than a thousand years, she will definitely be a first-line popular actress. No matter how bad her acting skills are, countless people will be willing to pay for her.

Seeing that she didn't dodge him, Li Yuechen couldn't help but smile slightly.

The current Li Yuechen may still behave like a man in terms of personality, but she is also a woman after all, and the other party's mind can be guessed nine out of ten.

Immediately he asked, "What's your name?"

"Return to Your Highness, the little girl's name is Wei Lian'er." Her manners were in place, and there was nothing wrong with her.

Li Yuechen nodded, turned and left without saying anything.

After returning to the high platform, Wu Zetian asked in a low voice: "Is there anything strange about the woman Chen'er just asked?"

"It's just that I feel outstanding in appearance, and I haven't paid attention to other aspects." Li Yuechen replied with a smile.

Hearing this sentence, Wu Zetian smiled slightly: "Nowadays, in this Tang Dynasty, the beauty is comparable to that of Chen'er, so it is worthy of my attention..."

Don't look at Wu Zetian who always looks serious, but she is also full of confidence in her daughter.

At least for now, among the aristocratic women in the capital, there is indeed no one who can compare with Li Yuechen in appearance.

Hearing this sentence, Zhang Chengxin next to him immediately reported with great eyes: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, this girl's name is Wei Lian'er, and she was born in Jingzhao Webster. She is seven feet five inches long... (Note)"

Wu Zetian waved his hand slightly: "These, let's talk about this if she can pass the next few levels."

But then he turned his head and said: "If Chen'er likes it, why not..."

"Aniang, you don't have to care about my opinion. This is to choose a concubine for my brother, not for me... just follow the normal process." Li Yuechen smiled.

After all, Li Yuechen was just curious about her, and didn't know her well, so there was no need to open this back door for her.

"That's good, but since she has such good looks, it shouldn't be too bad in other aspects..." Wu Zetian nodded.

Li Yuechen wanted to complain a little bit, but thinking about it carefully, in this era, such logic seems to make sense...

"I don't care how good-looking she is, no matter how good-looking she is, she's not as good-looking as A Niang!" Li Yuechen flattered her.

"Chen'er is good at talking as always." Everyone likes to hear good things, including the queen.Hearing her daughter's flattery, Wu Zetian showed a slight smile on her face.

And in all honesty, Li Yuechen feels that from the current face of his mother, he can roughly infer that she also had a first-class appearance when she was young, but now that she is older, she has been a queen for so many years, and her power is getting worse day by day. Strong and powerful, so there is a trace of majesty exclusive to the emperor.

But if you think about it carefully, since she was given the title "Wu Meiniang" instead of "Wu Ritian" or "Wu Ganglie" by Emperor Taizong, it is enough to show that she was also a first-class beauty when she was young.

It was already noon after the first round of the draft, and Li Yuechen and his mother went back to Renshou Hall for dinner.

As soon as he entered the hall, Li Lun couldn't wait to run over: "How is it? Is there someone who is compatible with brother?"

"Don't worry, there will always be." Li Yuechen smiled, "If seven or eight hundred people can't be found, then they will die alone!"

"Chen'er, don't talk nonsense! How can the crown prince die alone?" Li Zhi taught with a smile.

Li Yuechen curled his lips and said nothing, the absence of a crown princess does not mean that there are no women...

But if you think about it carefully, with the character of the third brother, it should not be easy to find a princess who can get along with him...

　　In the Tang Dynasty, one foot should be thirty centimeters.However, based on the information found by the author, if it is to describe the height of a person, this ruler should be 23 centimeters in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

　　After all, the records at that time often used the description of "nine feet tall". If one foot was thirty centimeters, then nine feet was more than two meters seven.

　　But if you change to a 23cm ruler, the nine-foot height is just over two meters, which is acceptable.

　　This book adopts such a setting!
