"What? That Uighur envoy, the princess who asked to marry is related to King Jianning?"

When the emperor heard the report from Honglu Temple Minister, he stood up all of a sudden.

The minister of Honglusi lowered his head, the previous court had just agreed to marry the princess, but he didn't expect that this Uighur courtship envoy would make another fool.

Sitting on the throne, Li Heng said: "King Jianning is a prince, but the emperor is in the right veins. If King Jianning adopts a daughter, isn't it the same as marrying a princess?"

Li Heng was a little angry, obviously dissatisfied with the Uighur envoy's tricks.

The Minister of Honglu Temple lowered his head and said: "Saint, this Anda envoy said that he only wants to marry the daughter of the county king, and he just hopes that the princess can become a brother and sister with King Jianning."

"What does it mean?"

Li Heng was a little puzzled, what kind of coquettish operation is this Uyghur man?

The Minister of Honglu Temple said: "Sage, please ask a royal family member to adopt a righteous daughter and bestow the title of princess. Then invite this princess to go to Longyou to make a sworn brother and sister with King Jianning, and then send it to Uighur to get married. gone."

"What's the point of this?"

Li Heng's mind was a little confused. The princess of the imperial family was originally his son's cousin, so why did he want to make a vow with King Jianning.

The minister of Honglu Temple said: "The Uyghur envoys are firm in their attitude, and I ask the sage to judge!"

After thinking about it for a while, Li Heng found that this marriage deal didn't seem to be a bad deal.

Originally, King Guangping and Uighur Prince Yehu became sworn brothers, and in the future, Prince Yehu became Uighur Khan, so that the goodwill relationship between Datang and Uighur could be guaranteed.

Unexpectedly, there was an internal change in the Uighur, and Prince Yehu's younger brother Yidijian succeeded the Khan.

If you can marry as a princess, you can establish an in-law relationship with Uighur, which is also good for the Northern Defense of the Tang Dynasty.

It's just to let the married Princess take a detour to Longyou, Li Heng finally nodded and agreed to my Daxie's request for a haircut.

Which clan's daughter will marry?
Because the rebellious gene of the Li Tang royal family is too strong, almost all the clan members live in the ten king's house.

When the two capitals fell, most of the clan members in the Ten Kings' House were captured by the puppet Yan.

Some of them followed the emperor to Shu, and there was no princess around Li Heng to marry.

However, the imperial court will never lack ministers who help the emperor relieve his worries.

After the news of Tang Dynasty's decision to marry the princess and go to Uyghur to get married spread throughout the government and the public, Shuofang Army Wu Feng envoy Pu Gu Huai'en, who was in the capital to reorganize his troops and prepare for combat martial arts, wrote to the court.

"I have a daughter who married a foreign barbarian far away to make peace for the country and pacify the enemy."

Pugu Huai'en, who asked to write a letter to get married, was naturally rewarded by the emperor, and then Queen Zhang met Pugu Huai'en's daughter behind, and reported to the emperor that she was "beautiful and can be a royal lineage."

For this result, I Daxie Haircut also recognized it.

The Pugu family was originally one of the nine surnames of Uighur.

Pugu Huai'en was the general under the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, and the main family of the Pugu clan in the Tang Dynasty.

Pugu Huai'en's daughter got married, not only strengthening the relationship with Datang in terms of patriarchal clan.

It can also help Mou Yu Khan win over the Pugu clan on the grassland.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

This time the Tang court acted very quickly, the emperor decreed that Gu Huai'en, the servant, be made the Duke of Fengguo, and promoted him to be the servant of the Ministry of War and the envoy of the Shuofang army.

Then the emperor adopted Pugu Guangqin as his daughter in the name of the dead Yongwang. After that, Puguguangqin was renamed Li Guangqin and became the princess of Yongwang's line.

The emperor designated Li Guangqin as the princess of Ningguo, inheriting the lineage of King Yong.

After the rebellion of King Yong was put down, although the emperor executed King Yong, he still retained the title of King Yong.

After all, King Yong was brought up by Li Heng himself. If King Yong was buried with the etiquette of a prince, it would be the last bit of royal family affection.

Since Yongwang's lineage has not been abolished, it is a matter of the emperor's word to let Puguguang adopt him to Yongwang's lineage.

A series of ceremonies can be said to have been completed in one go. Less than seven days later, Li Heng issued an edict.

Li Guangqin, the princess of Ningguo, ordered to make peace with Uighur.

From the [-] miscellaneous animals that King Jianning paid tribute to, the emperor selected [-] as the princess's dowry.

Twenty medical officers and forty craftsmen were also sent to Uighur as dowry.

Pugu Huai'en's son, Pugu Yu, joined Zuo Xiaowei as a guerrilla general, and escorted Li Guangqin, the princess of Ningguo, to return to the Uighur with his relatives.

The peace mission set off grandly, but the eunuch who saw them off read another order to Pugu.

"What? Let's make a detour to Longyou first, let the princess and King Jianning sworn obeisance before going to marry?"

Hearing this strange order, Pugu Ju looked at the eunuch delivering the order suspiciously.

Originally, if you go north along Fengxiang Mansion, pass Lingwu and then go north to Yinshan Mountain, you will be able to reach Uighur Yazhang City.

Now I have to detour to Longyou, isn't it a waste of time to walk a lot?

Besides, Li Guangqin is now the daughter of King Yong, who is the younger brother of the emperor.

Li Guangqin was originally the cousin of King Jianning, why did he still have to marry siblings?
Isn't this a brain problem?
Pugu was about to ask again, but he heard Li Guangqin in the carriage say:
"Brother...General Pugu, since the sage has an order, let's detour to Longyou. Guangqin also wants to meet this brother Jianning."

Only then did Pugu remember his father's teachings, and he took the imperial decree to escort the convoy of marriage to set off.

My Daxie Barber will also return to Uighur with the marriage team, and Li Daoyuan and him can be regarded as acquainted, and they also came to see him off outside the city gate.

After seeing off the old man, Zhou Shi couldn't help but say:

"And kissing and kissing, I didn't expect Datang to do such a thing!"

Zhang Duanyang said: "Marriage is an indispensable thing in ancient and modern China and abroad."

Yu Xiaoxiao sighed and said: "It's a poor married woman, if she marries Uighur this time, I'm afraid she won't be able to return to the Central Plains in her life."

Everyone nodded. The princesses of Datang and his relatives were not able to return to the Central Plains.

The result of this marriage marriage seems to be very satisfactory to the whole court.

The imperial court was finally free to get down to business.

After garrisoning troops in Guo Ziyi's department in Wugong City, after a while, they began to launch a tentative attack on Xijing again.

This time, in Wugong, Datang once again assembled the Shuofang defeated army, Qinwang army from all over the country, and the army recruited in Guanzhong, a total of 10 people, known as an army of 20, and put on a posture to attack Xijing.

On the side of Pseudo-Yan, since the victory of the last Battle of Qingqu, the General of Puppet Yan, An Shouzhong, who was in charge of the Battle of Qingqu, was greatly rewarded by the Emperor of Puppet Yan, An Qingxu.

Now An Shouzhong is the general of the puppet Yan, Sikong, and Zhongshu's disciples are in peace.

An Qingxu also had considerable trust in this veteran, and handed over 6 people from the two capitals and reinforcements recruited from the rear to An Shouzhong's command.

An Shouzhong garrisoned Xiangji Temple, and still adopted the strategy of defeating the Tang army last time, occupying the main road with ease and waiting for the Tang army to attack.

Guo Ziyi originally wrote to the imperial court, and marched after the weather was cooler in late September and early October.

However, Zhang Xun in Suiyang seemed to be unable to hold on. If the water transportation of the Wei River was cut off, the supplies from the Jianghuai River would no longer be able to be sent to Guanzhong.

The emperor and Zhengshitang ordered several times to inquire about the situation of martial arts preparations, so Guo Ziyi had no choice but to send troops to recover Chang'an.

This time, in addition to Datang's [-] troops, there were also [-] Uighur elite cavalry to help out.

Datang showed all his cards. This time, the emperor did not appoint an eunuch to oversee the army, and handed over all the command to Guo Ziyi.

After King Guangping arrived at Wugong with Uighur Prince Yehu, he also stated that sitting in Wugong would not interfere with Guo Ziyi's decision-making.

It seems that this time the emperor learned the lesson of the Battle of Qingqu and handed over the full power of the army to Guo Ziyi.

This is true for Datang, and it is also true for Pseudo-Yan.

An Qingxu also searched for all the troops in Gyeonggi, and all the men near the two capitals were transferred to the battlefield by him.

This battle can be said to be a battle that will determine the fate of Datang and Pseudo-Yan.

Those who know the course of history in future generations will feel that the outcome of this battle is doomed.

Datang defeated the puppet Yan, and finally quelled the Anshi Rebellion.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Datang has survived for more than 100 years.

But this is a conclusion drawn after knowing the historical process. For Datang today, this battle is also an unprecedentedly tense battle.

What Guo Ziyi has is all the elites of Datang.

If this battle is lost, the court of Fengxiang Mansion will flee back to Lingwu again.

However, the current Lingwu army has been withdrawn, and it will be difficult to make a comeback if they escape back to Lingwu.

If this battle is defeated, the last trace of authority of the Tang court will be gone.

So whether it is Datang or Pseudo-Yan, this is a fate-determining battle.

Moreover, whether it is military strength or record, the two sides are also split [-]-[-].

Fengxiang Mansion was also caught in turmoil, and many ministers asked their family members to pack their luggage. If they failed to attack Chang'an this time, they would really flee for their lives.

In such a tense atmosphere, Shang Bo and his party, besieged by travel and dust, finally arrived at Fengxiang Mansion.

"I'm looking forward to your coming! We've been idle in Fengxiang Mansion for half a month!" After Li Daoyuan saw Shangbo, he seemed to see relatives who had been separated for many years. up.

Shang Bo also traveled all the way, traveling day and night and finally arrived at Fengxiang Mansion.

Li Daoyuan started a few days ago and asked about the location of Shangbo every day.

He had already packed up the things left in the backyard, waiting for Shangbo to come and receive them.

"I've already packed my things, and there's nothing left in the backyard. Apart from the land deed of this house, there's also the money rewarded by the emperor. The ledgers are all here."

Li Daoyuan said with relief: "I really can't do this job, professional things should be done professionally!"

Shang Bo accepted what Li Daoyuan handed over, and then said:
"Leader Li, is your "Eastern Journey" still being updated? I'm your fan!"

"Journey to the East" is a series of programs uploaded by Li Daoyuan in the real world. It records the scenery along the way of the eastbound tour group. It has been stopped since entering Fengxiang Mansion.

Speaking of "A Journey to the East", Li Daoyuan became interested, but he quickly said: "I'm afraid it will be a while longer, the King of Jianning has sent us a new task, and the donkeys of the production team don't bring such Use it!"
