Road to science and technology

After Li Er finished speaking, Ye Liangchen stood there stunned, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

This Li Er really dares to think that the princess dares to seal him casually.

Ye Liangchen didn't expect that such a day would come to her. She really wanted to kill all the people in the hall in one go, but she couldn't.

She quickly said: "Your Majesty, princess is a title for a daughter of the clan. How can I, a monk with a foreign surname, be given the title? Besides, if Tubo knew about it, wouldn't it undermine the majesty of the Tang Dynasty?"

Ye Liangchen hurriedly refused. It was okay for him to travel to this body. After all, she had been used to it for more than a year. Anyway, according to the system, it would not change in the short term. As for some things in life, she had also become Very skilled.

But Li Shimin's behavior seemed to Ye Liangchen to take advantage of her, wasn't it? The princess was just a generation younger than Li Er, so how could she agree.

"Sir, I don't know. This is a policy that I discussed with you." Li Shimin explained: "If we wait for the army to attack, it will take a long time due to altitude sickness, but we don't know how many people will be displaced during this period. It would have taken a while to wait. It’s okay, but it’s just that the small country of Tubo uses this as a threat and repeatedly invades our territory. I really can’t bear it!”

"Besides, there are Turks in the north who are the empire's powerful enemies. With our current strength in fighting on two fronts, our power is still strong, so we came up with this strategy."

"As for what Mr. Ye is worried about, you can rest assured. There are loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty who are above the court. They will never leak this matter. No one will know whether Mr. Ye is the daughter of the clan."

"And when he knew about the Tubo Zanpu child, it was the day Tubo fell. I also heard that Mr. Ye was a spiritual practitioner and had the ability to soar in the clouds, ride on the mist, and move mountains and seas. I wonder if Mr. Ye has the confidence to take down Songtsen Gampo in one fell swoop and become the leader of the human race. Expand the living space and expand the territory for the empire.”

Well, Li Shimin first explained the difficulties of the empire, then boasted about Ye Liangchen's abilities, and finally defined the matter as the expansion of the human race's living space. I bet his definition of the human race is a bit narrow.

However, Ye Liangchen did not refute him. Instead, she felt that Li Shimin should be like this. She didn't know if it was because he turned into a woman. Now she hated marrying a woman in exchange for peace even more.

But then I thought about it, if I hadn't appeared, maybe this time or in the future, the real Princess Wencheng might have gone to Tubo, and she would most likely go with a large number of craftsmen and advanced technology, which would really be an enemy.

At this time, Ye Liangchen thought of the history of Princess Wencheng in his memory.

In fact, Princess Wencheng was not Li Shimin's daughter. She was just the daughter of a clan in the Tang Dynasty. She was temporarily named Princess Wencheng by Li Shimin to fool Songtsen Gampo.

Ye Liangchen thought to himself: The history is so similar now, except that this person has been replaced by himself.

If she were the daughter of the original clan, she would probably have traveled a long way to Tubo to marry Songtsen Gampo, as in history, and then, in order to show her status in the Tang Dynasty, she would have been named queen.

Don't think that after Songtsen Gampo built the Potala Palace, he thought he was doting on Princess Wencheng. In fact, this Tubo Zampo now has six famous wives, and Wencheng is just one of them. And no one thinks that the Potala Palace could have been built without the large number of craftsmen and books brought by Princess Wencheng.

Later records further explained that Princess Wencheng was probably just a decoration after marrying the Tibetan people. Songtsen Gampo only built the Ramoche Temple for Princess Wencheng, while the Jokhang Temple was built for Princess Chizun of Nepal, and also included Princess Wencheng. The statue of Sakyamuni brought as a dowry was placed in the Jokhang Temple.

Moreover, Songtsen Gampo died nine years later, and Princess Wencheng lived in Tubo for another thirty years, and finally died of smallpox.

It is undeniable that Princess Wencheng and Songtsan Gampo made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty and Tubo at that time. Because the Tang Dynasty had strong Turkic enemies and no Tubo harassment in the rear, the Tang Dynasty could concentrate on dealing with the Turks, and Tubo benefited The biggest, after all, it is the best country in the world with craftsmen and books.

However, no matter how her historical achievements are praised by future generations, this is a political marriage after all. Princess Wencheng, who was the victim of the political marriage, was only selected by Li Shimin from her clan and given a temporary title, so who cares about the happiness of such a person.

The method of using a clan daughter or other woman to pretend to be a princess and marry into another country was not invented by Li Er. It existed as early as the Han Dynasty.

After all, the emperor is also a human being, and he does not want his daughter to marry far away in a cold land to drink from the northwest wind and eat the soil. After all, in a foreign country, the customs are very different from those in the Central Plains, and the ethics and morals are even more inhuman. Daughters who marry far away from an enemy country often do not have a good life.

For example, according to the custom of the Xiongnu, basically after marrying, if the husband dies, then he will marry his son or brother. In one sentence, he will marry his mother after his father dies, and his sister-in-law after his brother dies. 'Wang Zhaojun actually faced this situation. At that time, the Xiongnu Chanyu whom Wang Zhaojun married was very old, so after Wang Zhaojun gave birth to a daughter for him, the Chanyu was the one. At that time, Wang Zhaojun was still She thought that after her husband died, she could return to the Han Dynasty, but she didn't expect that her husband Hu Hanxie's son would write to the Han Emperor to marry him.

The results speak for themselves.

Of course, Wang Zhaojun is just a microcosm that everyone is familiar with. There was also Princess Xijun in the Han Dynasty, who died of depression after her second marriage. There is also Princess Jieyou. She was married three times, but she finally returned to the Han Dynasty alive with the consent of the Han Emperor on the grounds that she was old and homesick.

This shows how cruel history is.

Of course, these people's experiences are worth singing and crying, and their names will go down in history, but it would be bad if they were made into a TV series to deceive future generations.

Therefore, it is actually very dangerous to travel through time. If you don't wear your hair carelessly, you may turn into a money rat tail, or just like Ye Liangchen.

Fortunately, Ye Liangchen was not an ordinary person, so she was not afraid. Moreover, Li Er did not really want her to marry Songtsen Gampo. If it was true, she would definitely leave immediately.

Ye Liangchen thought for a long time, and no one in the Xuanzheng Hall bothered her. After all, no one can force her on this matter, and the practitioners' methods currently cannot force her.

Li Er and everyone just gave her some advice based on her idea of ​​traveling westward with Master Xuanzang.

At this time, in the quiet hall, a sigh as thin as a gossamer suddenly came out.

Then a voice with the same tone as a sigh came out, and everyone knew it was Ye Liangchen's voice: "In that case, I will take a country for your majesty, but I will be accompanied by Tiance and Cangyun Army. Does your majesty have a plan?"

Li Shimin first walked up to Ye Liangchen and gave her a big salute, and then said: "Thank you very much, sir. In three days, it will be an auspicious time. At that time, I will hold a princess title ceremony for Mr. Ye, and the time for the westward journey is set in half a year." , after the empire takes over Tubo, I will continue to travel westward with Master Xuanzang on the pretext of escorting him."

Li Shimin immediately made a decision. For the sake of Tubo, it would be okay to delay the journey to the west for some time. He added: "As for the escort and entourage, I think that if there are too many, it will arouse the suspicion of the Tubo children, so I want to select the best 150 people from the two armies to form a team of 300 people, and wait for your orders."
