Chapter 1305: Marry Princess Changle
With a pot of sake and two plates of vegetarian dishes, His Majesty Li Er didn't have the slightest air of being the supreme king in the world. He was dressed in comfortable casual clothes. His hair was loosely tied behind his head and tied with a plain belt. He was sitting on the floor of Shujing Hall's study room, very relaxed. .
Princess Changle knelt beside her, with a small wine cup placed in front of her, and drank slowly with the emperor.
Outside the open window, you can see the lake and the willow trees along the bank. The bright yellow branches and slender willows sway gently with the evening breeze, giving you a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere...
The arrival of Fang Jun, the "evil guest", broke the quiet and warm atmosphere.
So His Majesty Li Er glared at him displeased.
Fang Jun was stared at inexplicably...
Although you are the emperor and the biggest, you still have to give a reason even if you behead your head, right? What's going on with us being rejected without even understanding what's going on?
He glanced at Princess Changle, who was sitting upright and looking dignified and virtuous, and blinked, hoping that Princess Changle would give some tips. Unexpectedly, Her Royal Highness the Princess's eyelashes trembled, her eyebrows lowered, her eyes lowered, and she glanced at Fang Jun from the end of her eyes...
There was no other way, so Fang Jun had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "I have met your majesty, I have met your highness."
His Majesty Li Er snorted and said in a bad tone: "Is something wrong?"
"Uh..."
Isn't this nonsense? It's almost curfew. Why should we go to the palace if we have nothing to do?
But looking at the unhappy look on His Majesty Li Er's face, even though he didn't know the reason, he could not help but feel uneasy. This man's habit of being fickle was not a good thing. Rolling his eyes, Fang Jun said: "Ah, actually nothing happened... Well, how about Wei Chen resign first?"
His Majesty Li Er glared at him: "If you have something to say, say it, and if you have something to say, let it go."
Fang Jun was speechless.
Is this what the emperor can say?
Where is the dignity?
What about decency?
Fang Jun quickly told what he had just seen Lu Dongzan, but his words only brought out Li Xiaogong slightly, without making too many comments. Although Fang Jun was dissatisfied with Li Xiaogong's matter, he still took good care of himself, and Fang Jun couldn't do such things as talking about people behind their backs.
Princess Changle stood up and took a wine cup from the side, placed it in front of Fang Jun, and silently filled the wine glass for him, her movements were very natural.
Fang Jun quickly thanked him, but his eyes slipped around those slender hands as white as jade...
His Majesty Li Er didn't pay attention to this. He picked up the wine cup and took a sip. He sneered and said, "Did you shoot yourself in the foot? Humph, I thought I had a plan, but now I'm being threatened. Am I saying you are ignorant, or are you arrogant?”
Fang Jun was sweating a little.
In fact, he took this matter for granted at first...
The profits brought by highland barley wine were enough to make Tubo nobles flock to it. The result was a shortage of food in Tubo, and then it was controlled by the Tang Dynasty. When a country’s food lifeline is controlled by another country, the consequences can be imagined.
But how could he have imagined that Songtsen Gampo would be so courageous that he would use this to threaten the Tang Dynasty. If he did not help him unify the opposition forces within Tibet, he would simply launch an army to go to war with the Tang Dynasty in the name of grabbing land and people... …
How could the generation of monarchs who were able to unify Tubo and establish Tubo's strong power in history be an easy generation?
It is conceivable that when Songtsan Gampo launched a war under the banner of "grabbing land and robbing people", the Tibetan nobles who were so excited by the profits from highland barley wine must have responded and given strong support. The scale of the war was absolutely No small matter.
As for the sales of highland barley wine after the war with Datang, there is actually no need to worry. Although the Tang Dynasty had a large population and had huge sales, if the Tang Dynasty cut off the sales of highland barley wine, Tubo could still go north and sell the highland barley wine to the Western Regions, and then sell it to Dashi and other places farther west via the Silk Road.
It is indeed not an exaggeration to say that Fang Jun "shot himself in the foot"...
Fang Jun was a little stunned and a little ashamed, and didn't know what to say.
His Majesty Li Er said: "In the past, you persuaded me to refuse the marriage, and even came up with the saying that 'no land will be ceded without the marriage', which made me become passionate for a moment. I believed your nonsense and posted it on Shenlong. In the palace of the palace... How are you now? Do you regret it? In fact, this matter is very important. Simple, as long as Tubo agrees to marry, everything will be settled. The "Eastern Datang Company" can continue to make huge wealth from highland barley wine. With the support of Datang, Songtsen Gampo can control the internal affairs of Tubo. At least Datang can control the internal affairs of Tubo. You can get decades of peace, why not?”
This is true historically.
Songtsen Gampo had a profound admiration for the prosperous Tang Dynasty. In the eighth year of Zhenguan, he sent an envoy to Chang'an to express his greetings to the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty Li Er also attached great importance to the first envoy to Tibet and immediately sent envoy Feng Dexia to express his greetings with a letter. Returning the gift. Songtsan Gampo "was greatly delighted when he saw virtue. Hearing about the Tudian Hall and Tugu Princess Hundu Shang sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to follow Deya, and gave her a lot of gold and treasures to propose marriage." However, His Majesty Li Er did not agree at that time. Songtsen Gampo sent people to the Tang Dynasty several times to propose marriage, but failed to do so. They decided to use force to intermarry, and the first war between the Tibetan and Tang Dynasties broke out in the twelfth year of Zhenguan.
However, the war could not solve the problem in the end. In the 14th year of Zhenguan, Songtsen Gampo sent Prime Minister Gar Dongtsen to prepare a generous gift - five thousand taels of gold and hundreds of treasures and treasures, and went to Chang'an to propose marriage to His Majesty Li Er again. The following year, His Majesty Li Er agreed to marry Songtsen Gampo to Princess Wencheng, the daughter of the clan...
During his reign, he regarded insisting on developing close relations with the Tang Dynasty as the basic national policy to create a strong and prosperous Tubo Dynasty, making the relationship between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty extremely harmonious. In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er returned from an expedition to Liaodong. The war was not going well and he was unhappy. Songtsan Gampo immediately sent Ludongzan to Chang'an to present a memorial and presented a golden goose made of gold, "seven feet high, with three dendrobiums of solid wine in it" as an expression of Tubo's friendship with the Tang Dynasty. He also wrote a letter saying: "Your Majesty has pacified the four directions, illuminated by the sun and moon, and ruled them together. Goryeo relied on its distance and was not led by etiquette. The emperor himself will cross the Liao Dynasty and seize the city. He will triumphantly point to the sun. Although the geese are flying in the sky, there is no such thing. Speed. My husband's goose is like a wild goose, and I would like to make gold for the goose. "
In the 22nd year of Zhenguan, Youwei led the governor Shi Wang Xuance on a mission to the Western Regions, but was almost killed by Zhong Tianzhu. It was Songtsan Gampo who sent elite soldiers from Wang Xuance to defeat him, creating the eternal legend of Wang Xuance that "one man destroyed a country" ……
It can be said that Songtsen Gampo was extremely close to the Tang Dynasty. Regardless of whether he had to do it because of the power of the country or because he truly admired the Tang Dynasty, in short, this is indeed the case.
But it was precisely because of Datang's support in medical, agricultural, cultural, institutional and other aspects that Tubo gradually became stronger and stronger, which eventually led to Tubo's ambition to build up and took away the four towns of Anxi from Datang, completely destroying the Central Plains dynasty. Cut off the control of the Western Region...
There is no eternal peace between countries, only eternal interests.
Want peace?
Then the only way is to suppress the enemy country fiercely, not giving it a chance to rise, and letting it always be attached to you and surrender to you.
Therefore, getting married is absolutely not possible...
Fang Jun was stabbed a few times by His Majesty Li Er, and he was a little unsure whether His Majesty Li Er was making fun of him or whether he was seriously considering getting married. After all, in the heart of His Majesty Li Er, the eternal pursuit is to defeat Goguryeo, permanently include the peninsula under the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and create his own grand hegemony as an emperor for eternity. Tubo may not be in his eyes at all...
What if His Majesty Li Er really has this idea? As a person who can "see" the future, how can he allow such a tiger-raising thing to happen in front of his eyes?
Fang Jun nodded and said: "Your Majesty's words make sense. It's just that none of your princesses are of the right age... But fortunately, this arduous task can be entrusted to Her Royal Highness Princess Changle... Her Royal Highness is beautiful and smart. Zhong Lingyu Xiu is a hero among women, and she will definitely be able to perfectly complete the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo from generation to generation, making Tubo become the barrier of the Tang Dynasty, rather than the tiger lying on the bed."
His Majesty Li Er sneered and looked at Fang Jun unkindly.
Princess Changle remained silent, but silently stood up and quietly took away the wine cup in front of Fang Jun before he had a chance to drink... took it away...
In fact, Fang Jun, His Majesty Li Er and even Princess Changle who are here know very well that even if His Majesty Li Er marries someone to Tubo, it cannot be Princess Changle! It's obvious that Fang Jun's words are stimulating His Majesty Li Er. If you want to get married, then first think about the difficulties and hardships of marrying your daughter to a foreign country and living with the foreigners.
How can it be so easy to accept peace bought with one's own daughter?
The truth is correct, and the method is good, but this is what Princess Changle hears... That is to say, Princess Changle has a virtuous temperament, and His Majesty Li Er is present, otherwise Fang Jun will be tickled with peach blossoms all over his face!
Can you speak a human word?
There will be another chapter later...
