Chapter 310 Marriage without negotiation
Looking at the position of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin also sighed. He took the opportunity of being drunk that day to express his inner arrangements. In the past few days, Li Shimin had basically determined that by sacrificing one eldest grandson Pingting, he could make everyone happy. Tang and Tubo maintained the status quo, which should be the lowest cost.
You say that marrying a princess is a loss of power and humiliation to the country. Doesn't it mean that ordinary folk women can't do it too?
What's more, Li Shimin had already sent an envoy over and told Li Xiang all about it. Lu Dongzan also showed great cooperation and planned to select a beautiful one among the noble women of Tubo, and then marry the royal family of Chang'an. Children get married.
From that time on, Li Shimin had no intention of refusing. If you continue to make trouble on this matter, it means that you do not want to normalize diplomatic relations with Tubo. The two places are now directly bordering each other. If If the two sides often clashed in the border area, Datang would not be able to afford it.
Fang Xuanling has nothing to say on this matter. For old politicians like them, they will not consider the life of one girl. Even the life of a hundred girls is nothing to them. Son, as long as it can ensure the current status of Datang, it is okay to sacrifice these.
"It won't help that brat to go there. It's better for you to go there in person... No, it's better for me to change my clothes and let's go there together."
Li Shimin values Changsun Wuji very much. If it had been anyone else, an imperial edict would have been issued directly. Do I still need to communicate with you about this matter? Now that Li Shimin and the Prime Minister are going together, it can be seen that they attach great importance to this matter. Fang Xuanling nodded beside him and went outside to wait.
Both of them are very wise people. They have analyzed everything. Ludongzan is very important in Tubo. Songtsan Gambo wrote two autographed letters for him. From this we can see When you come out, Datang has no reason to refuse. You asked someone to marry a girl before, but they are willing now. If you continue to find fault, Tubo is also a big country, and they will never allow you to continue to do this.
In addition, there is another more important thing. Li Shimin hopes that Li Xiang will go to the plateau to find out everything about the situation there. Li Shimin is worried about sending others there. As long as Li Xiang can find out everything about the situation there, in the future If there was a war between the two countries, Li Shimin would not mind sending Li Xiang to expedition against Tibet.
East Palace.
Li Xiang has also been thinking hard these days and handed over all the buying and selling matters to Zhou Huairen. He no longer has the time to deal with such nonsense. He just hopes to come up with a solution, but in the end he finds that there is no solution except bringing him with him. The soldiers killed Lu Dongzan, but if this was the case, then a war would be inevitable.
Li Xiang never thought before that Lu Dongzan was so cruel that he handed over his right and left hands and a bunch of subordinates. The ultimate goal was to extract him. Don't those people count as lives? ?
While Li Xiang was thinking hard, Qian Ping ran in from the outside and must have heard some news.
Both the emperor and the prime minister went to Lord Changsun's house...
Hearing Qian Ping say these words, Li Xiang knew what it meant. But he had promised his eldest son Pingting that day, was he going to regret it now?
"You haven't even eaten breakfast. I know you are reluctant to let go of your cousin, but your own body is also very important. If this matter comes to an end, you will have to go to the plateau. Without a good body, how can you do this? Finished the bowl of porridge."
Li Chengqian pushed the door in from the outside, and the little maid behind him came in with a bowl of porridge. Li Xiang was indeed not in the mood to eat, but it was Li Chengqian's wish. After taking the porridge, he stuffed it into his stomach like chewing rice. Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly, this matter was indeed very difficult to handle.
Li Chengqian grew up with his eldest grandson Pingting, but Li Chengqian is much older than his eldest grandson Pingting. Although the relationship between the two is not very good, they are still full cousins, so Li Chengqian is not willing to let his eldest grandson Pingting. Ting went to the plateau, but there were some things that he could not decide. Let alone the eldest grandson Pingting, even a princess of a country could not make the decision sometimes.
Li Xiang regrets it now. When he returned to Tuyuhun last time, he should have released all the troops and let them adapt to the plateau. Now they may be able to fight on the plateau, but at that time Li Xiang considered that the time was not ripe, so Instead of releasing these troops, they still stayed in the system space. Now it seems that they have given up the last chance.
"Reporting to Your Highness, the Prime Minister of Tubo, Lu Dongzan, asked for an audience."
The two men were upset here. Who knew that Lu Dongzan came to visit.
No matter how much Li Xiang didn't want to see him in his heart, he had already arrived at his house, not to mention that he was the prime minister of Tubo. The two of them had to go out to meet each other out of love and reason, otherwise they would say that he was the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. Both he and his great-grandson are petty-minded.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince, and I have met His Highness the Grand Sun."
Lu Dongzan is still dressed handsomely, but in Li Xiang's mind, he is not worthy of Changsun Pingting. You can almost become a father, and you are still dressed in such gaudy clothes, with old cucumbers painted green, That's not young anymore.
"Prime Minister, no need to be polite, please sit down!"
Li Chengqian was still very generous in dealing with others. Li Chengqian and Lu Dongzan were sitting, and Li Xiang could only stand behind Li Chengqian. This was the rule. How could you sit with your father in the same seat?
"It's really my fault to have the temerity to disturb your two highnesses. However, I am about to return to Tubo. I came here to pay a visit before leaving. This is to express my admiration for your highnesses."
Hearing Lu Dongzan's words, Li Xiang immediately became interested. I haven't heard of any imperial edict from the emperor. Are you ready to go back? It seems that the domestic chaos in Tubo is not small, and Songtsen Gampo can no longer withstand it.
"Prime Minister, are you going back now? The time you spent in Datang was too short. We had a great conversation. We should stay longer."
Li Chengqian's face showed great regret, and there was a question mark in his heart. Did this guy get the news somewhere else? Impossible. Who can have more accurate news than us?
Suddenly Li Xiang thought of something, Li Shimin's reply to Songtsen Gampo...
