Chapter 247 Another kind of marriage

When envoys come from afar, as long as the things they mention are not excessive, the court will usually agree. This also shows my great ambition for the heavenly kingdom. But this matter is not possible. Li Shimin has already said personally that he is not in harmony, and you still have to do it. If you work hard on this matter, it's your fault.

Songtsen Gampo's letter was also sincere and he wanted to marry the Tang Dynasty as a good friend of the Qin and Jin Dynasties. Li Shimin didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, we Zanpu have a pious heart and just want to become good neighbors with the Tang Dynasty. We also want to maintain eternal friendship with the Tang Dynasty. We hope that His Majesty the Emperor can agree."

Lu Dongzan has never told anyone before. He still has a letter from Songtsan Gampo in his hand. He has just taken it out now. It is clearly to force us to express our position. If it is not possible, then there will be conflicts between the two countries. , but if you say it's okay, it's like letting the emperor slap you in the face.

Li Shimin glanced at the ministers below. No one knew how to solve this matter. The main reason was that no one dared to take this responsibility. If this matter caused a dispute between the two countries, who would be responsible? When they discussed it before, no one mentioned that he still had Songtsen Gampo's autographed letter in his hand.

"To inform my father, I think this matter was brought up by Prince Taiping. Why not let him come out and explain it to the Prime Minister of Tubo?"

Just when everyone didn't know how to deal with it, Li Tai stepped forward. Li Shimin also knew that Li Tai did not have the ability to handle this matter, but what he said was still very right. The matter itself was What Li Xiang proposed, now that you are implementing your strategy, you can't stand behind everyone, right?

"Qing Que is right, Xiang'er, come and give it..."

Li Shimin has been trying to punish Li Xiang recently, but he has been hurt the most. Now he has finally found an opportunity, and of course he has to pull Li Xiang out. The lofty words you talked about at the beginning, now, Now the problem in front of you is left to you.

Li Xiang was in a state of fugue and trance. He always felt that things in the court could be solved. But he didn't expect that you two would just kick the ball to me. Lu Dongzan didn't object when he heard this. He also wanted to see it. Let’s see if Li Xiang is as rumored.

Li Xiang looked at the civil and military people in the dynasty looking at him. Since you have handed this matter over to me, I have the final say on how to solve it later. Anyway, there will be someone high to support it.

"Prime Minister, I don't need to introduce myself. We have met before at Changting Pavilion ten miles outside the city. Regarding the matter of never getting married, that is the national policy set by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. No one is allowed to be an exception. , We are very considerate of the feeling of Tibet and the Tang Dynasty getting married. I have another idea here. I don’t know if you think it is feasible. If you nod, then our two countries can also get married. "

For people in ancient times, such a problem may be difficult to solve, but for a modern person like Li Xiang, who has read so much knowledge on the Internet, if he cannot solve this small matter, then I would really feel sorry for myself. Save money to go to Internet cafes to surf the Internet when you are in school.

"Please enlighten me, Your Highness. I am all ears."

Lu Dongzan couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Li Xiang's gourd, but from the twinkling look in Li Xiang's eyes, he could tell that this must be a trick. But in front of so many people in the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't help but Let Li Xiang speak, not to mention that this was also proposed by the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.

"I heard that there are currently 17 princesses in Tubo. Four of them are married and three are underage. Then there are still ten princesses waiting to be married. If you want to form a good relationship between Qin and Jin with our country, In fact, it is very easy. Our country is not willing to marry a princess out of the country, but your Tubo country does not have this rule. You can definitely marry the princess from the Tubo country to Chang'an City, and we can also get married."

After Li Xiang finished speaking, many people present almost laughed out loud. You are really a talent. If none of your daughters goes out, they have to send all the princesses.

After hearing this, Li Shimin didn't know what to say. You really have more ideas than anyone else. Why didn't we think of this? Since Songtsan Gampo wants to get married to the Tang Dynasty so much, you can definitely send your sister and daughter. There are many royal children of the right age in the Tang Dynasty, and they can definitely make arrangements for you.

"this……"

Ludongzan didn't know what to say for a moment. If he said it was impossible, wouldn't it mean that what Songtsan Gambo said in his autograph letter was false? But if it is possible, it goes against the policies previously formulated by the Tubo Kingdom. Lu Dongzan does not have that much power to make changes. The princess's marriage is a big event for any country, even if he is a Tubo country. The prime minister of the country was not qualified to decide this matter privately, let alone marrying to the distant Tang Dynasty.

"Prime Minister, there is no need to worry. I have hundreds of descendants from the Tang Dynasty royal family, and there are also twenty or thirty people who are not yet married. If the Prime Minister feels that he is not worthy, he can only search among the princes and grandsons. There should be no problem with more than a dozen people. of……"

Li Xiang looked like he wanted to be beaten, but what he said finally made Yuchi Jingde next to him unable to bear it any longer. Your shameless appearance is really awesome. If we were Lu Dongzan, how could we do it in this moment? It can make you so angry that you vomit blood.

"Your Highness, I have no control over this matter. Our country is sincere in marrying the Tang Dynasty..."

Lu Dongzan wanted to explain and then return to his previous request to marry the princess, but how could Li Xiang let him go back?

"What the Prime Minister said is that even if your prince is here, I'm afraid he can't decide this matter. Why don't we put this matter aside for the time being. The Tang Dynasty will not send any princess to foreign countries. This is what we have just decided It is an iron rule that anyone who dares to have any thoughts on this matter is guilty of deceiving the emperor. Why don’t we wait until the Prime Minister returns and send someone to deal with this matter. Let’s not talk about it for the time being. Your country The princess doesn’t want to come to Tang Dynasty, which is thousands of miles away, and our princess doesn’t want to go to Tubo, which is thousands of miles away.”

When Li Xiang finished speaking, the smile from before was no longer in his eyes, and his face turned serious. At the same time, he announced to everyone in the court that no one would be able to think about this from now on. Otherwise, it would be the crime of deceiving the emperor. The crime of deceiving the emperor would be punishable by the nine clans...
