The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 703 Princess Wencheng
Qin Bingyue nodded and said: "That's right, if you send out the news tonight, you will still have time to receive the sent out news during the day tomorrow. If you send out the news tomorrow, it may be too late."

Xuan Shijing and Fang Yiai looked at each other, and then said: "That is to say, tonight, Gao Jun and Chang Le may have something to gain."

When the voice fell, everyone fell silent.

Xuan Shijing exhaled heavily and laughed: "The matter is coming to an end, comrades, the darkness before dawn, after this busy period, everyone should take a rest, give yourself two days off, and work harder Bar."

Before the matter is completed, this tone cannot be relaxed. After Xuan Shijing cheered everyone up, let a few people disperse first. Qin Bingyue and Jiang Muqing should also go to finish their meal. Let's deal with it early tomorrow morning.

In the evening, I stayed in the Shenhou Mansion again. Anyway, Xuan Shijing is lonely now and doesn't care. What is rare is that Xuan Shijing changed into an official robe when he got up early in the morning, and rode the pure-blooded horse that Jinyang gave him. Went to the palace.

Xuan Shijing is also an official now, although he has the permission of His Majesty Li Er not to go to court every day, but he can't stop going all the time, right? The most important thing is that Xuan Shijing wants to ask His Majesty Li Er what How to deal with people after they are caught,

At the beginning of the court meeting, after all the officials sang the ceremony, the first one to stand up was not Changsun Wuji, nor the censor of Yushitai, but Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia who usually didn't talk much in the court hall.

"Qizou Your Majesty, years ago, Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan asked Datang to marry a daughter of the Tang family on behalf of Zanpu Songtsan Gampo. His Majesty entrusted the minister with a heavy responsibility to find candidates among the clan daughters. Now, the minister has If you have a suitable candidate, please take a look at it." While speaking, Li Daozong handed over the memorial he was holding in his hand.

Seeing Li Daozong holding the memorial in his hand and standing beside His Majesty Li Er, Deyi understood it, walked down the steps, walked to Li Daozong, took the memorial in Li Daozong's hand, and returned to His Majesty Li Er, The memorial was submitted to His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er opened the memorial and took a rough look. Li Daozong's candidate has been decided, and the rest is on His Majesty Li Er's side. If a clan girl marries Tubo, she can't marry in the name of the princess. The Ministry of Internal Affairs Also prepare a corresponding dowry items.

The selection of candidates is only the first step in the marriage between Datang and Tubo.

Putting down the memorial in his hand, His Majesty Li Er sat on his seat and thought for a while, and then he said: "Decree, there is a daughter of the Tang clan, Xueyan Li, named Princess Wencheng, to marry Songtsen Gampo of Tubo, Qin Tianjian set an auspicious date, Jiangxia King Li Daozong escorted her, and the Ministry of Rites quickly drafted all the dowry items for Princess Wencheng and sent them to the palace for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange."

Listening to His Majesty Li Er talking about the marriage between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo in the court hall, Xuan Shijing always felt a little like a world away. That kind of feeling was like a spectator of history, rather than living in the real world. Datang is average.

The fact that the Tang Dynasty and Tubo were married is still the same, and the person who went to Tubo to marry is still Li Daozong's daughter, and the title is still Princess Wencheng. Xuan Shijing can't change this history, because now the Tang Dynasty and Tubo are married It is a matter of strong and weak, but a political need, a political need that cannot be changed by individuals alone.

In fact, after Xuan Shijing knew the history of Princess Wencheng's entry into Tibet, she really wanted to ask that Princess Wencheng, are you happy?
But now, in the court hall, Xuan Shijing saw and experienced this incident with his own eyes, but his heart was inexplicably complicated, but what could be done?Feeling powerless in the general environment, he can only stand in the Tai Chi Hall in a daze.

Above the early court, there were a lot of scattered things. The marriage between Tang and Tubo has now become a foregone conclusion, and the rest are some etiquette precautions. Immerse yourself in your own thoughts.

Out of the Tai Chi Hall, Cheng Yaojin walked up to Xuan Shijing, and slapped Xuan Shijing on the shoulder, which shocked Xuan Shijing, and also took Xuan Shijing out of his own "small world". " Pulled out.

"Ah, Uncle Cheng." Xuan Shijing was not lighthearted when he was frightened by Cheng Yaojin's slap, not only that, Cheng Yaojin's big hand slapped Xuan Shijing's thin and small shoulders, which was really faint ache.

"What are you thinking, kid? When I saw you in the Tai Chi Hall, I thought something was wrong with you kid. Why did you come out? I lost all energy." Cheng Yaojin looked at Xuan Shijing with a rough voice and asked .

Xuan Shijing laughed dryly, and said: "What can my nephew do? Besides, Uncle Cheng, look at these things in the court, that has something to do with my nephew, and my nephew didn't cause trouble."

Cheng Yaojin thought about it carefully, and it was also true that what was discussed at the court today had nothing to do with Xuan Shijing.

But since it doesn't matter, why is this kid so lost?

Cheng Yaojin couldn't hide this kind of question, so he asked it directly.

"My nephew just thinks, what is the purpose of Tubo's marriage with our Tang Dynasty? Is it true that their Zanpu wants to strengthen their relationship with our Tang Dynasty through the marriage?" Xuan Shijing laughed.

"Otherwise? Last year, Tubo was defeated on two battlefields on the border between Longxi and Hanzhou. If Tubo hadn't taken advantage of the geographical advantages, Tang's army would have already approached the city. If Tubo didn't come to surrender at this time, Longxi Together with His Majesty at the border of Hanzhou, he ordered to cut off the communication channel between Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and Tubo’s hard days are coming, those princes and nobles in Tubo have enjoyed it, do you think they will be willing to offend Tangbo?” Cheng Yao Kim explained.

The nobles in Tubo also like to enjoy it. They like to enjoy the salt, silk, tea, and exquisite meals of the Tang Dynasty, rather than the rough meat and barley cakes that are eaten three times a day on the Tubo plateau.

"To put it bluntly, I'm still greedy for a comfortable and comfortable life." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "So, Tubo and Datang got married, in fact, to ask for something from Datang. My nephew said that, right."

"Boy, this old man finds out about you, why is he thinking like this?"

"No, Uncle Cheng, you have misunderstood my nephew. What my nephew is talking about is not a ready-made item, but the root of our Great Tang's prosperity! Pay attention to these two words, Uncle Cheng, fundamental! "Xuan Shijing stretched out his hand, raised two fingers and shook them in front of Cheng Yaojin.

"What's the point? When Princess Wencheng got married, it's not a matter of course for our Tang Dynasty to give the dowry. Our Tang Dynasty is also a big country now, so we can't be stingy anymore." Cheng Yaojin said.
