Later, Princess Xinxing, accompanied by Yuan Ziyan, came to see Li Shimin together, and was very surprised to see the change in her daughter, and looked at Yuan Ziyan suspiciously, and asked uncertainly: "Xinxing, do you understand?" ”

"Hmm!" Xinxing nodded, and said, "But the child has some requests, and I hope my father will agree." ”

Li Shimin glanced at Yuan Ziyan again, needless to say, she must have taught it, "Say it." ”

"Father, as a princess of the Tang Dynasty, the child naturally can't lose etiquette. If Yi Nan, the leader of Xue Yantuo, wants to marry a child, he should go to Beijing to greet him in person. "The emerging princess put forward the first condition.

Li Shimin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "This is natural, one can show the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, and the other can also test its sincerity." ”

"In addition, Xue Yantuo is rich in miscellaneous animal resources, so let him pay a tribute of 100,000 heads!" The emerging princess pouted and said again.

Li Shimin laughed, feeling that these words were purely childish, "Don't be willful, these 100,000 miscellaneous animals are not as easy to take care of as an army of 100,000, don't embarrass Xue Yantuo Khan." ”

"No, the child has to be like this, otherwise I'd rather die than get married!" The emerging princess said angrily.

Li Shimin sighed slightly, feeling that these children were spoiled by himself, and finally thought about it, thinking that it was the little girl's family's thoughts, bringing 100,000 livestock, the journey must be very slow, and the delay is a day.

Hey, it's okay, it's not easy to see Xue Yantuo again, so let your daughter stay by your side for a few more days. Later, Li Shimin instructed the palace to prepare the dowry, and many princes and princesses also came to give gifts to the emerging princess to say goodbye.

Everyone feels that the emerging princess is not scared silly, she is still so happy to marry away from home, well, it must be because she has never been married, I think it is fun.

Yuan Ziyan noticed that the eldest grandson Xi had been lonely and silent, and even fell ill, it turned out that this kid also had a princess in his heart. It's just that I don't dare to express it.

It took more than two months, and when the flowers bloomed in the coming year, Yi Nan, the leader of Xue Yantuo, led everyone to rush to the court and the opposition. At this time, Yi Nan was close to fifty years old, and he had a sideways face. With a big belly, thinking that her flower-like daughter is going to marry such a person, not to mention Li Shimin's toothache when he looks at it, even the ministers are a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

"Zhenzhu Viga Khan, why did it take so long to arrive in Jingshi?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice in displeasure.

"Your Majesty. happened to encounter a snowstorm and the road was blocked, and while cleaning up, I rushed to Beijing, and I never dared to delay, and I hope that Your Majesty will see it. Zhenzhu Viga Khan bowed slightly, and did not bow down, Li Shimin was already unhappy, and did not speak with a cold face.

The scene was a little cold, and the ministers didn't know what to say, and several old ministers couldn't help but look at Yuan Ziyan. Yuan Ziyan smiled slightly. stepped forward and said: "The Khan has come from afar, sincerity can be seen, since he is here to marry the princess, let's not talk more nonsense, let's go straight to the point!" ”

Everyone was stunned, Li Shimin was even more unhappy, and gave Yuan Ziyan a fierce look, she just pretended not to see it.

Hey, Li Shimin sighed secretly, only to blame for being impulsive. actually married his daughter to this stout and old man, he knew that this was the case, it was better not to let him enter Beijing, out of sight and out of mind.

The news also quickly spread to the court. The princesses are very sad, if the emerging princess can marry Ruyi Langjun, the distance can be ignored, but I didn't expect it to be such a person.

It was still unexpected, the emerging princess was full of joy and didn't care about it at all. Mei Zizi took care of the dowry, and compared the new wedding dress on her body. Occasionally, the princess will be stunned for a moment, and Xia Fei's cheeks will be as if she is really a delicate bride to be married.

The concubines and princesses were speechless, and the princess was glad that there was nothing to worry about, so she wished her well. The relatively disadvantaged groups will always be loved by everyone, and the second batch of gifts was sent over, all of which were treasures at the bottom of the box, which was rare to see, and the pearls in the room of the emerging princess were brilliant, even if it was a concubine of the four palaces, it was difficult to have such a collection as her.

The emerging princess blossomed happily and kept thanking her, although everyone was in pain, they felt that they might not see each other in the future, and they would never give enough.

Besides, on the court, if a new palace is built in Xue Yantuo and furnished like the princess's boudoir, she will also be appointed as the queen of the main family, and the child she gave birth to will be the crown prince, etc.

These are all superficial phenomena, whether the Pearl Viga Khan can give birth at such an age is a question, even if the princess gives birth to a boy, there are several adult brothers above, who will put him young in his eyes.

Xue Yantuo Mountain is far away, and who is appointed as the new khan is not something that the Tang Dynasty can control, so no one agrees with this.

"The Khan is really sincere, we are Xinxing to the Khan, Your Majesty should be able to rest assured." Yuan Ziyan said happily, attracting the contempt of all the ministers, a woman who has never given birth to a child does not understand the misery of her daughter marrying far away.

"Thank you, National Teacher!" Zhenzhu Viga Khan kept grinning happily, "Xue Yantuo still has a lot of complicated things, and it is inconvenient for me to wait, so I can leave for my return tomorrow." ”

"Why don't you stay a few more days after the long journey?" Li Shimin frowned and asked.

"Xue Yantuo will be loyal to the Tang Dynasty in the future, and he will come and go often, not for a while." The true pearl Viga Khan arched his hand and said.

"I think it's okay, in fact, the Khan understands us, this time the Khan brought a lot of troops, and they were stationed outside Chang'an City, afraid that everyone would worry, so he offered to leave as soon as possible." Yuan Ziyan seems to be empathetic.

"What the national teacher said is extremely true!" Zhenzhu Viga Khan was very happy, waved his hand and ordered someone to present the gift list, Li Shimin was too lazy to look at it, threw it aside, and sat on the dragon chair sulking.

Yuan Ziyan smiled and held it in his hand, "The princess is extremely noble, and these gift lists cannot be ignored." Well, these are good, well, these animal skins are also practical, hehe, and what about herbs, Khan really bothered. ”

Yuan Ziyan commented while watching, Li Shimin hated so much that his teeth gurgled, but he was speechless.

"Hey, Khan, how come the 100,000 miscellaneous animals that were said to be good have only become 30,000?"

Suddenly, Yuan Ziyan's face sank, and he threw the gift slip to the True Pearl Viga Khan, the Khan's face was cold, and he quickly explained: "Shicai said that when I encountered a snowstorm that I haven't encountered in ten years, more than half of the livestock froze to death and were lost, and I will definitely make up for it in the future!" ”

"Hmph, why didn't you mention this matter just now, I only answered when I saw that I asked you, if you don't ask, will you have to be fooled?" Yuan Ziyan's face was full of displeasure, and the True Pearl Viga Khan was sweating profusely, this national teacher changed his face so quickly!

"Master Mingjian, the national teacher, has no such intention, but I don't know how to speak to His Majesty's national teacher." The True Pearl Viga Khan hurriedly explained.

"Since the dowry is insufficient, the marriage naturally can't be counted!" Yuan Ziyan's words were amazing.

The ministers secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Shimin was also secretly happy, and immediately echoed: "Zhenzhu Viga Khan, you are not sincere in marrying a princess, don't say that I will not give you a chance." ”

"I have traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to meet Your Majesty, how can I say that I am not sincere enough? It's a natural disaster, and manpower is irresistible, so it's not that I'm not sincere? Zhenzhu Viga Khan said anxiously.

"Does the Khan think we mean to make things difficult?" Yuan Ziyan's face sank, and he asked unhappily.

"This, this, hey, it's all my fault!" Zhenzhu Viga Khan was very annoyed, and had always fantasized about marrying a beautiful and noble little daughter-in-law, but it was delayed because of the ghost weather.

"The marriage is not successful, but the friendship is still there. I have heard that you have two sons, both of whom are brave generals, Your Majesty, and your ministers have the courage to ask for a reward on behalf of the Khan of Zhenzhu Viga. Yuan Ziyan stepped forward and said.

"Since it is the national teacher who intercedes, then he will be generously set up, and Tuli will be a little khan, and each will be given a thousand taels of gold and a hundred horses of silk." Li Shimin said slowly.

Look at the people of the Tang Dynasty Tianzi doing things is really bright, the idea of the true pearl Viga Khan is simple and happy, of course Li Shimin will not let him run in vain, sign a covenant with him, reward countless gold and silver treasures, and have several stunning beauties.

Somewhat making up for the regret of not marrying the princess, the Khan of Zhenzhu Viga happily went back, and it didn't take long to discover the drawbacks. The two sons were named Little Khan, which means that they will be their own kings in the future, and they will fight against each other, isn't it invisibly that the Tang Dynasty has reduced Xue Yantuo's power?

In fact, after the death of Yi Nan, the struggle between the sons also began, the eldest son established himself as a khan, and there were many unconvinced people, and he did not forget to harass the border of the Tang Dynasty, internal and external troubles, and finally destroyed the country.

For Xue Yantuo, Li Shimin canceled the marriage contract with insufficient dowry, which is a broken promise, this is the advantage of the strong, Xue Yantuo dares to be angry and dare not speak.

So how should the emerging princess be placed, after all, she has reached the age to be married. Some people also suggested that after Yi Nan died of illness, his son would succeed to the throne, and the princess could be married to his son, and he could enjoy his old age in peace.

But Li Shimin was determined to disagree, and asked Yuan Ziyan and said: "Xinxing has announced to the world that she is about to get married, and the people know it, so it is better to remarry the princess as soon as possible, so as to avoid Xue Yantuo's thoughts." ”

"Your Majesty, there are many young talents in Chang'an, and it is necessary to choose one who wishes." Yuan Ziyan added with a smile: "I can recommend someone for Xinxing, I don't know what Your Majesty wants?" ”

"Although."

"The eldest grandson's nephew, Sun Xi, is rich in five cars, elegant and steady, and his age is as good as a princess, I think he is suitable." Yuan Ziyan said with a smile.

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned, but he didn't expect Yuan Ziyan to marry another princess into their eldest grandson's family. Although this princess has experienced some ups and downs, she is also a princess, who is not happy?

Thinking so in his heart, Eldest Sun Wuji still stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, the national teacher for recognizing Eldest Sun Xi." Xi'er, I have grown up since I was a child, and I have an excellent character, but I have a quiet temperament, I don't like words, and my status is not enough, I am afraid that I am not worthy of the princess. ”

"My lord, the others are secondary, and as for not liking to talk, I guess I don't like to talk to you. Perhaps, this child has endless topics to talk about with the princess! Yuan Ziyan said. (To be continued.) )
