Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

hiss….
Li Xiaogong's chest exploded. He really didn't know what to do. At this moment, he suddenly felt that there was no point in sticking to Hebei Road for so many years! ! !
He persisted until the end, and even failed to protect his most precious daughter. What did he protect? What do you insist on?
Moreover, if you still use the word "persistence" to describe it, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's too insulting.

If you hold on, will your daughter suffer?
Hahaha!
Li Xiaogong seemed to be laughing.

However, his throat felt like it was clogged with dirt, and he couldn't laugh at all.

Li Xiaogong also wanted to cry. He felt extremely wronged and helpless towards his daughter.

However, he couldn't cry, he really didn't know what to do.

For more than ten years, I have been guarding Hebei Road. For many years, I have never returned to Chang'an.

He knew that he couldn't live without him here, and in Chang'an, his identity was also very sensitive.

After all, when the prince who was guarding the outside returned to Chang'an, he would attract the attention and use of some interested people.

Therefore, he was considerate of His Majesty and the court, and took it upon himself to bear all the burdens.

Anyway, this is all for the people, and also for the children to live peacefully in Chang'an.

But now?

Gone!

Broken!

Blasted!

It’s also cracked!
There is nothing left, nothing left.

Li Xiaogong's teeth were clenching up and down uncontrollably.

He really couldn't stand it anymore.

Li Xiaogong swallowed hard, but his throat seemed to be cut with endless knives!

call….
Li Xiaogong took out two more forceful breaths, feeling a little suffocated.

Outside the door, his cronies and generals from Hebei Province were all standing outside. They looked at the appearance of their prince, and they were all heartbroken.

Of course they knew about this.

Originally, this edict was issued to all the people in the world.

"Your Highness, we...we will follow you! Tell us what to do. Otherwise, let's go back to Chang'an to pick up the princess."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we listen to you. The Princess is so unfair and Your Majesty acts so recklessly. It is unacceptable. It is unacceptable, Your Majesty! Let's go to His Majesty to reason with you. Your Majesty will definitely reconsider!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been so unjust to us, Your Majesty, we, we... Your Majesty, we listen to you!"

"Your Highness the Princess is smart and smart. If she marries far away from Tubo, this... Your Highness the Princess will never agree to it. Your Highness, how about we return to Chang'an secretly and snatch the Princess away!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we work hard to guard Hebei Road. If we can't even protect our family and children, why don't we guard it for nothing, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty..."

The group of generals outside the door were all filled with righteous indignation.

Their hearts were really going to explode.

Without any deliberation or any psychological preparation, Chang'an made all decisions directly under the edict, which was unacceptable to them.

Don't ask what the princess means.

Don't ask what the prince means.

After discussing with Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and others, His Majesty dared to make such a decision directly. They could not accept it!
These frontier generals cannot accept it!

Li Xiaogong clutched the edict tightly with both hands, his eyes were cold and his face was a little twisted. He wanted to tear up the edict, but after a long time, he finally let go.

Li Xiaogong took another long breath, his eyes were gloomy, his breathing was intermittent, and his face showed deep bitterness.

"You all, please step back."

"I feel a little uncomfortable and want to take a rest."

"And help me, close the door..."

Li Xiaogong dropped the edict, held the table with both hands, and stood up slowly. His steps suddenly faltered a lot, and his expression seemed to have aged by more than ten years.

Li Xiaogong lay on the bed with difficulty.

Cover your face with a quilt.

This undefeated legend who had been on the battlefield for decades actually shed tears.

Hot tears.
.
….….….….….
Tang Dynasty, Chang'an.

The Tibetan delegation entered the city.

He had already entered the city a few days ago.

The people in Chang'an City have known this news for a long time.

After all, Chang'an has been somewhat peaceful recently, and the arrival of the Tibetan mission is like dropping a pebble on a calm lake, causing ripples.

Not to mention, His Majesty also issued an edict.

It was said that he wanted to form an eternal alliance with Tubo, and in order to express his determination to form an alliance, His Majesty decided to marry Li Xueyan, the princess of Hejian County, to Songtsen Gampo!

As soon as the news came out, Chang'an exploded.

It's been three or four days and it still can't calm down.

It attracted countless people to discuss, and at the same time, the people were extremely depressed.

Are you going to give the princess to a foreigner again?

"Damn it, just count the time. Your Majesty, in the past few years, something like this seems to happen every year. The first time he sent away His Highness the Second Prince, the second time he sent away His Highness Princess Changle, and then the third time We’ve just started sending them to the Princess of Hejian. Hey… will your Majesty’s children be enough? If we keep sending them away like this, will we still have princes and princesses in the Tang Dynasty in a few years?”

"Who says otherwise? Moreover, the environment in Tubo is more difficult than that of the Turks, right? I heard that ordinary people like us would be dizzy if we went up there!"

"Yes, I have been to the cities of Tubo once. My nose started to bleed when I went up. I couldn't stop the bleeding. Fortunately, I came down quickly. Otherwise, I would have died there."

"Damn it, our Majesty... Hey... when will our Majesty be tougher? This time, Tubo didn't send troops yet, so it took the initiative to send a princess. Since it is an alliance, why can't Tubo send a princess? No. Is it the same? Why do we deliver it outside every time?”

"Who knows, grandma, to be honest, I can't bear it anymore. I heard that this matter hasn't been discussed with the King of Hejian yet?"

"I don't know! However, I know that King Hejian loves His Royal Highness the Princess very much. Now, His Majesty is doing his best to please Tubo. Aren't you afraid of hurting the hearts of our Tang soldiers?"

"Hey, I can't say. I heard that Your Highness the Princess is very sad now?"

"Isn't that true? It is said that she sheds tears all day long. The poor princess is so distressed."

"...."

Every common person in Chang'an would always shake his head and sigh with regret whenever this matter was mentioned, with helplessness and deep helplessness on his face.

However, even if they wanted to help Li Xueyan, they were all powerless.

after all. This is a decision made by His Majesty and discussed by all officials of the imperial court.

However, with so many people discussing it, no one thought to discuss it with Li Xueyan and the parties involved.
.
….….…….….….
Imperial City.

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin sat on it, his eyebrows furrowed and his face a little ugly.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Pei Ji, Qin Qiong and many other pillars of the Tang Dynasty were standing below.

Although it is not a court meeting, the current situation is almost the same as a court meeting.

"You must have heard of the words that have been talked about among the people recently."

"Did I do something wrong?"

"Ah…."

"No matter how you look at it, this is the best way for me, Datang."

Li Shimin's voice was a little low: "It's just a marriage. As long as Princess Hejian leaves, Tubo and Tang Dynasty will be reconciled forever." "Now, Dayan is pressing so hard, and Tubo has traveled thousands of miles to come to me. Datang is very sincere, and my decision is absolutely right!”

"It's just a marriage, and we will get Tubo's great help to our Tang Dynasty. This kind of business is extremely cost-effective."

"You should know better!"

Li Shimin's voice was filled with determination.

Since the promulgation of this edict, some remarks in Chang'an City made him quite unhappy.

Everyone looks at me and I look at you.

Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, and Cheng Yaojin did not speak.

To be honest, they didn't agree with this matter and had refuted it before.

However, it cannot stop the strong support from the family like Pei Ji.

Their thoughts are the same as His Majesty's. This kind of business is a great deal.

You don't have to pay any price, you just need to marry someone and you can get support.

So, who wouldn't be happy?
"His Majesty."

Changsun Wuji stood up.

"Your Majesty, you are right!"

"After all, the common people are too ignorant. They cannot understand His Majesty's good intentions. Moreover, in my opinion, this matter is absolutely beneficial and harmless!"

"Moreover, I don't think so myself. Master Pei, Master Xiao, and almost all the officials in the court think so. Your Majesty, you are right!"

"Our Tang Dynasty is currently surrounded by crises. If we have the support of Tubo, our life in the Tang Dynasty will be much easier."

"Furthermore, Her Royal Highness the Princess is already quite old. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, she should have gotten married a long time ago, but she has been delaying it. Prince Hejian is far away in Hebei Province, concentrating on guarding the border, and he probably has no time to worry about his family. My daughter’s affairs.”

"Now His Majesty is helping King Hejian to preside over the wedding of His Royal Highness the Princess. I believe King Hejian is also extremely happy."

"Besides, this is the King of Tubo. Your Majesty, with such a family background, he is worthy of being the princess."

"So, no matter from that aspect, it's a good thing."

"Isn't that right, Your Majesty?"

"So, the common people are ignorant and do not understand the long-term plan after all. They only focus on the current one-third of an acre. Haha, I believe that in a few years, the common people will understand your majesty's good intentions!"

Changsun Wuji said with a smile.

Indeed, this matter, from their perspective, is really good.

Li Shimin's eyes were deep.

He also nodded: "Good!"

A smile appeared on Li Shimin's face.

"People don't understand, so let time... help me to vindicate myself."

Li Shimin was in a much better mood.

Below, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and the others smiled bitterly when they saw each other.

This means that the King of Hejian has no time to worry about family affairs?
Damn it, who doesn't know that King Hejian loves the princess very much. He only wants to make the princess happy, and he doesn't think about anything else.

"His Majesty!"

"When we do this, do we have to say hello to the King of Hejian before we do this?"

"After all, King Hejian has been away all the time. If this incident causes a gap in King Hejian's feelings toward His Majesty, the court, and the Tang Dynasty, it will be more of a loss than a gain."

"I think we should send someone to invite the King of Hejian and discuss it together."

Fang Xuanling thought for a while, walked out and shouted in a deep voice.

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin's originally sunny eyes suddenly changed again.

His face also darkened.

"Your Majesty, no need!"

At this time, Pei Ji walked out.

"Master Fang, what you said is wrong. Time is urgent, and King Hejian has no time to worry about Chang'an!"

"It's really inappropriate for us to disturb the King of Hejian. Besides, the King of Hejian guards Hebei Road. Now the Great Yan is ready to move in the northeast. The King of Hejian cannot leave there."

"Your Majesty, King Hejian is devoted to the Tang Dynasty. He can definitely understand your Majesty's decision. I think he will definitely support your Majesty's decision!"

"The King of Hejian guards Hebei Road, isn't it just for His Majesty, for the Tang Dynasty, and for the people?"

"Now, as long as we get married, our Tang Dynasty will get a big help. I believe that the King of Hejian will be very happy when he knows the news."

"No matter how you look at the marriage with Tubo, we, the Tang Dynasty, have taken advantage..."

"After all, we are just sending out a princess, and she is still the princess."

"And the Tubo side will become our rear area. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who once stationed in the Tubo side can also be freed to join the ranks of resisting the Great Flame!"

"This is really a great good thing for me, Datang, a great good thing, Your Majesty!"

"What Mr. Fang said is a bit short-sighted."

"Use the heart of a villain to cross the heart of the King of Hejian, hahaha..."

Pei Ji refuted it directly and looked at Fang Xuanling with a smile.

Fang Xuanling opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

According to their thinking, it is.

After all, what they like most is to send others to "sacrifice" and then seek benefits for themselves. They also say it in a high-sounding way. They seem to think that it is wrong for others to disagree, and they are sorry for the people of the world. They are obviously forcing others, but they still put themselves at risk. Put it on the moral high ground.

Hey….
Fang Xuanling sighed inwardly.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry or think too much."

"I, all ministers, agree to this marriage."

"The King of Tubo is said to be a wise and powerful man. He is a perfect match for His Royal Highness the Princess!"

"I believe that Your Majesty, Your Majesty, will understand His Majesty's feelings after a while, and you will definitely not bear any grudge against Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yu followed the trend and echoed.

Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and others looked at each other in confusion.

Really, no matter what they said, they had finished speaking.

But, who has thought about Her Majesty the Princess?
Just like I didn't think about His Royal Highness King Chu and Princess Changle at the beginning, now, they are walking on the same path.

Could it be that the previous lessons were not enough?
Moreover, Dayan has perfectly stated that he wants to make a country stronger.

To completely stabilize the country, no fancy tricks will work.

Only by strengthening oneself, only by developing one's own people, and only by thinking about the world can one succeed!

Besides, with this kind of marriage, if one day Great Yan really launches troops against Tang Dynasty, will Tubo really come to help? Are you really not going to add insult to injury?

Do not!
This is absolutely impossible!

Profit is everything after all!
As long as the Tang Dynasty is about to die, Tubo will definitely march eastward and take the opportunity to take a big bite.

This possibility is far greater than the so-called alliance between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, and it is also far greater than the so-called ten thousand years of reconciliation.
