The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 267
The Tang Dynasty was not the great Han Dynasty in the period of Emperor Han Yuan, Tubo, nor the powerful Xiongnu in those days.

In a word, all the military generals here are refreshed, yes, Datang is Datang, not the great Han in the weak period of the year, and the battle veterans of the Manchu Dynasty, although they cannot all be compared with Wei Huo, but Datang The pride is that when you meet the strong, you will be strong. The Turks back then were comparable to the Huns in the Han Dynasty. Li Jing, Chai Shao, Li Xiaogong, etc. were not settled in the first battle. Even with the advantages of the terrain, it's not that he lost his temper after being beaten.

"Please also ask Dongshanhou's famous words, I, Tubo, sincerely married Datang, why did Dongshanhou insult me ​​Tubo again and again." Lu Dongzan looked at Xuan Shijing with an unfriendly expression.

"No, no, no, I didn't mean to insult Tubo, I was just expressing an opinion." Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "According to the example of the previous dynasty, it is usually the defeated country that sends the princess out for marriage. Why did it come to my Tang Dynasty?" , whether you win or lose, you have to pay for a princess? Why? The Prime Minister thinks that I, Datang, is easy to bully? Someone Xuan can say something today, if your country is really sincere with me, Datang Marriage and marriage, and please ask the Prime Minister to return to the country and bring a princess over."

"Hahahahahahaha" Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda and other generals couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing this.

"You!" Lu Dongzan was so angry that he couldn't speak.

On the other hand, some civil servants sitting here felt that what Xuan Shijing said was correct.

Why is it always the Central Plains Dynasty who sent the princess out for marriage no matter whether they won or lost?Wouldn’t it be enough to just send the princess to keep peace?
Therefore, it is absurd to say that the Prime Minister of Tubo proposed to marry him this time!
Sitting below, Chu Suiliang, Changsun Wuji and the others were taken aback, looked at the many courtiers whispering beside them, and smiled.

This Dongshanhou, heresy is a set of fallacies, the key is that it can still confuse people's hearts, so that people can't find faults without listening carefully.

Changsun Wuji sighed, and smiled in his heart, so it is not for no reason that His Majesty dotes on Marquis Dongshan for no reason. With such cleverness, it is no wonder that his children and a group of young people are sitting on the porch, and Xuan Shijing can sit on the porch. in this temple
"Your Majesty is holding a banquet in the Linde Palace today. All the envoys who came from afar, don't talk about anything else. Regarding the marriage, although it is not possible for this palace to participate, it has something to do with the harem after all. I will stop here today. So far, no matter whether it is my Tang Dynasty, Tubo, or other envoys, I am afraid that they will have to wait for careful consideration before making a final decision. As for today, let's enjoy watching the performance." Empress Changsun turned her face slightly, and saw Li The Second Majesty's eyes seemed to have deep meaning, so he interrupted the conversation between Lu Dongzan and Xuan Shijing. If Jinyang was said to be the object of marriage, even the virtuous Empress Changsun would be unhappy. Having said that, I feel even more displeased. If Datang's direct princess is to be the wife of the King of Fanbang, wouldn't Datang be inferior.

Although what Xuan Shijing said may be regarded as heresy, it is not unreasonable. I am afraid that after today, His Majesty Li Er really has to go back and think carefully. In this Linde Hall, between Xuan Shijing and Lu Dongzan On the topic, His Majesty Li Er should not speak too much. Although he is partial to Xuan Shijing in his heart, he cannot directly refute Lu Dong's praise in front of everyone.

"What the queen said is very true. I think it's not too early now. There are still a few polo games outside the palace. Everyone, come with me." His Majesty Li Er calmly put the wine glass in his hand. on the case.

Before His Majesty Li Er has decided to get married, he can only practice Tai Chi in this way. If he really makes up his mind not to get married with these foreign countries, then His Majesty Li Er will definitely call Changsun Wuji and other ministers to discuss in advance, to ventilate, and to go to court. In the classroom, these ministers can always come up with many satisfactory reasons to make these foreign envoys speechless, instead of relying on some "fallacies and heresies" like Xuan Shijing at this time.

As for the matter of getting married, His Majesty Li Er also needs to calm down and think about it when it really comes to the present.

At today's banquet, none of the courtiers spoke, even Wei Zheng, who has always dared to speak out, and Fang Xuanling, who had a great strategy, did not speak, and Changsun Wuji still had some resistance in his heart to letting Princess Jinyang go to marry him , Princess Jinyang is his niece, and is deeply loved by His Majesty. Changsun Wuji guessed in his heart that neither His Majesty nor the Queen would be willing to send Princess Jinyang away, so he also remained silent.

The big bosses in the court didn't speak, and the people below couldn't guess the meaning of the above, so they could only stay silent.

On the contrary, there are quite a few generals who agree with Xuan Shijing's point of view, especially Cheng Yaojin, who is completely a person who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement. At Xiao Jing'er's age, even if something goes wrong, he can use his youth to make up for it. It's not fooling the past, anyway, the crown prince Rongliu has said that Xuanhou is still young.

Sure enough, it is like this kind of banquet in the palace, and it will definitely not let people have a good meal.Xuan Shijing pursed his lips, glanced at the food on the table, ignored Sun Simiao's order not to eat more meat, tore a chicken leg from the plate, and walked out with Li Chengqian, Li Ke and others.

At this time, the young people in the hallway of Linde Palace had already had enough to eat, and gathered together in disorder, discussing the upcoming polo match.

The young people in Chang'an City don't have many places to go for recreation, so naturally there are such a group of young people who like to play polo.

It has to be said that only these nobles can play polo in the Tang Dynasty. The cost of a good horse and a suitable venue may be the living expenses of an ordinary family of a hundred people for several years.

For this kind of sport, Xuan Shijing was naturally not interested. If someone who is not good at equestrianism plays this polo, if he falls off the horse, he may become disabled. If he has the skills to play polo, he might as well play Cuju.

Speaking of polo, Li Ke and Li Chengqian are both masters, but Li Tai, like Xuan Shijing, is not interested in polo at all. Xuan Shijing found that Li Tai is now developing more and more into an otaku. All kinds of movement are worse than stillness.

Walking out of the hall, Xuan Shijing immediately saw Cheng Chumo who was riding around on a horse in the distance, Qin Ying and Chai Lingwu were also there, and all three were members of Datang's polo team.

The other teams are the polo teams belonging to Tubo, Turkic, and Goguryeo. Of course, several small countries in the Western Regions also sent a team.

Goguryeo was able to set up a polo team in Datang?When did the Goguryeo people have such a leisurely mood?
"Your Majesty the Emperor, how about a match between the two teams of Datang and Tubo?" Lu Dongzan said. Xuan Shijing's scolding face has lost face, but he hopes to severely defeat Datang's team on this court, and let them see how majestic and mighty the Tubo boys are.
