Even Li Shimin couldn't help admiring Wu Mei's eyes, although there were not many people left in the end, but all of them were tall and beautiful, and the rare ones were very stable, calm as water, and had the bearing of a royal princess.

Li Shimin was very satisfied with a few people, and said with a smile: "These seven are all good, maybe any one of them can take on the heavy responsibility." ”

"The women of the clan have cultivated etiquette, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, these are nothing." Yuan Ziyan disagreed.

"Bollywood has also tested the talents of these people, they are all good people."

"The key is the connotation, only a girl who can move people can stabilize the heart of Songtsen Gampo."

"Hehe, then it's up to you to take the test." Li Shimin let go, Yuan Ziyan glanced at him, and he didn't need others to interfere, and said: "Several county lords, county lords, first of all, congratulations to you, after layers of screening, you have come to the present. Regardless of whether you can marry Tubo far away, your good reputation will also spread in Chang'an, and you don't have to worry about finding a good in-law. ”

Several girls couldn't help but laugh, and then they all relaxed.

"I know you're all tired, let's hurry up, I'll only ask three questions, of course, only the selected ones will be asked the third question. After that, everyone went back to their own homes and looked for their mothers. ”

There was another giggle, and it sounded like a silver bell, very pleasant.

"So, let me ask the first question." Yuan Ziyan cleared her throat and asked, "If you marry Songtsan Gampo, is Datang important or your husband important in your heart?" ”

The seven of them were stunned, they didn't expect this to be the problem. In order to prepare for today's interview, they also made up some knowledge, but they didn't expect it to be beyond their control.

"Datang is more important. If the courtiers can marry Tubo, they should use the Tang Dynasty to benefit from the Tang Dynasty, spread the essence of the Tang Dynasty to Tubo, and demonstrate His Majesty's might. One of the girls stepped forward and said.

Well, Yuan Ziyan nodded, and another girl also made a statement, which is roughly what it means. The remaining five did not speak. After a long time, a big-eyed girl stepped forward and said, "The courtier thinks that her husband is more important. ”

The people present disagreed, including Li Shimin, but Yuan Ziyan smiled. He asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

The courtiers thought that when a woman marries, she should treat each other with all her heart in order to gain her husband's trust and favor. Harmony between husband and wife. Qin Se and Ming. Therefore, everything is smooth, if you are too domineering and persistent, husband and wife are different, and they are entangled in quarrels and jealousy every day, nothing can be accomplished. The big-eyed girl said calmly.

The other four girls who didn't speak also nodded, and they thought the same way, following their fathers at home and their husbands when they went out. It's rightly true.

"Okay, you five stay. These two can leave. Yuan Ziyan said.

The two girls who said that Datang was more important couldn't believe their ears, Yuan Ziyan's explanation was that family and everything is prosperous, only the love of husband and wife, many things can be said and discussed, and it is natural for a girl to rely on her husband after marriage, but it is exaggerated and not sincere enough.

"Second question, I know that you have all been well-read since childhood, and I want to ask, which saint is the most worthy of respect in your mind?" Yuan Ziyan asked again.

This question should belong to professional knowledge, a girl thought about it and stepped forward and said: "My father advocates Confucianism and Taoism, so in the eyes of his courtiers, the two sages of Confucius and Mencius are the most worthy of respect." ”

Li Shimin nodded and expressed his approval, this is also the keynote of the national cultural melody, and he is right.

There are also two who said that they were the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, Yuan Ziyan noticed that a girl was timid and didn't dare to speak, so she smiled and said, "Tell me, who do you admire the most?" ”

The girl looked a little nervous, and said crampedly: "The courtier doesn't know. ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and Yuan Ziyan asked again: "Since you have read many books, why don't you even know who you respect the most?" ”

"This, this?" The girl couldn't speak, and the big-eyed girl spoke again: "Your Majesty, the national teacher, in fact, the courtiers don't know. ”

"Tell me your reasoning."

"The ancient sages are naturally role models for future generations, which is understandable, but the sea of books is vast, and the courtiers have read no more than a hundred books, and they all worship it tightly, I am afraid that it is to exhaust their lives and taste it with their hearts, so that we can know which sage has the deepest influence on them." The big-eyed girl said seriously.

"Well said!" Li Shimin couldn't help but praise one, and the rest of the girls pouted, needless to say, the two who entered the final finals didn't know.

No answer is the best answer, although the eliminated girl was not convinced, but the emperor approved it, and could only retreat aside. Although there are still two places left, everyone can already see who will be the final winner.

"Among the ancient women, there were also heroines. The third question I would like to ask is, which ancient woman made a lasting impression on you? Yuan Ziyan asked.

The timid girl took the initiative this time, blinked her eyes and said, "I like a woman like the national teacher the most!" ”

"Hehe, it's a pity that I'm not ancient, I'm modern." After Yuan Ziyan finished speaking, she focused her eyes on the big-eyed girl, she bent her knees with tears, and said sincerely: "Back to Your Majesty, the national teacher, there is indeed one woman who is most admired by the courtiers, and that is Wang Zhaojun, the concubine of the Western Han Dynasty." Zhaojun went out of the fortress, married the Huns, and Fanning Hu, served the second husband, died lonely, no war for more than 60 years, and the attack was comparable to the famous general. Outside the plug is sad and sad, but its name will always remain in the annals of history, if the concubine knows under the spring, he should also be relieved and smile. ”

"Son, not all harmony is a tragedy, and I believe that with your intelligence, you will be able to change this situation." Yuan Ziyan was moved and stepped forward to help the girl.

"Xie Guoshi." The girl wiped her tears, and at this point, the clan girl who was close to her finally came to the fore.

"What's your name?" Li Shimin asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the courtier's daughter Li Xueyan, the king of Jiangxia County is the father." Li Xueyan replied.

"It turned out to be the daughter of my cousin Li Daozong, no wonder she was so outstanding. Snow Goose, I came to ask you, are you willing to let your family go to Tibet and kiss? Li Shimin asked solemnly.

"Snow geese are honored!" Li Xueyan said firmly.

"Okay, immediately canonize Li Xueyan as Princess Wencheng and marry Tubo." Li Shimin finally knocked on the board.

"Congratulations to Princess Wencheng, congratulations to Princess Wencheng!" The rest of the people congratulated together, and Li Xueyan returned the ceremony elegantly and calmly.

Although Li Daozong was extremely reluctant, his daughter was already a princess at this time, and of course she had to live in the palace before she got married, and from then on. Li Shimin regarded the princess as if she was her own child, and she also brought experts from all walks of life, such as textiles, ceramics, papermaking, winemaking and other crafts, and Princess Wencheng brought poems, agricultural books, Buddhist scriptures, medical books, calendars and other classics, which played a great role in promoting the economic and cultural development of Tibet.

Because Princess Wencheng is knowledgeable, beautiful and virtuous, and Songtsen Gamplang is talented and beautiful, she is very affectionate, and her life is very happy. Songtsen Gampo built a city and a palace for her, and the local people respected the queen as if she were a god. In the past two hundred years, whenever a new Zampu ascends the throne, he must ask the Tang Dynasty royal family to ordain.

To this day, the golden Buddha statues worshipped by the Tibetan people are all brought by Princess Wencheng from the Tang Dynasty at that time, and they are sacred relics for the Tibetan people.

In later generations, there was a poem describing "Since the noble lord and the queen, half of the Hu style is like the Han family," which shows that Princess Wencheng has a huge influence on the local area.

The women of the Houting Court did not pay attention to the economic, cultural and agricultural issues, and when they learned that Princess Wencheng was regarded as a treasure by Songtsen Gampo and lived an extremely luxurious life, they were not a taste in their hearts, and they were sour. Women, isn't she trying to marry a good husband who knows cold and hot, and then live a life of material wealth like gold, Li Xueyan, as a clan girl, can be regarded as having all the opportunities.

Although you can't go back to your home, it's difficult for a woman from any family to go back to her parents' home at any time after she gets married.

After Princess Gaoyang learned about it, she was even more embarrassed, and Yuan Ziyan opposed her marriage to Fang Zhizhi before, Princess Gaoyang felt more and more that Yuan Ziyan deliberately made things difficult for her. Therefore, at this point, the relationship between Princess Gaoyang and Yuan Ziyan began to become rusty.

Tang Fan and his relatives also made the nomads become a plate of scattered sand, and it was difficult to form a large-scale strength, and the rule of Zhenguan was talked about by the world.

"Aunt Yan, I think Princess Gaoyang seems to have a lot of opinions about you." Wu Mei reminded cautiously.

"This child has been spoiled by His Majesty, and what is good for her is thought to be bad." Yuan Ziyan sighed slightly, and asked again: "She shouldn't be very good to you?" ”

Wu Mei's face showed a look of embarrassment, but she still said: "Bao Lai is careful everywhere, and with the protection of His Majesty, the princess has never been very embarrassed. ”

"That's good, try to avoid her, now that she's older, I think Your Majesty will marry her off soon, so that we can both be clean." Yuan Ziyan comforted.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Li Shimin to finally mention Princess Gaoyang's marriage again, at a family banquet.

"Father, the child doesn't want to leave his father yet." Princess Gaoyang said coquettishly.

"When a man gets married, a woman gets married, it delays your time, and your mother knows about it, and she will complain." Li Shimin waved his hand.

"If you can't marry a good husband, won't your life be boring?" Princess Gao Yang said with a pout.

"My sister has a crush?" Li Chengqian smiled: "Let's talk about it first, maybe the eldest brother can help you with something." ”

"Father and emperor can't be the master of their daughter, big brother, don't ask for your own hardship."

Gao Yang's words were there, and they were aimed at Yuan Ziyan, Li Shimin glared at his daughter a few times, but Gao Yang seemed to be invisible, and he was a little gloating.

"Hehe, Gao Yang, there are some things that you are still young and won't understand." Yuan Ziyan hinted: "Some people and some things must be put down when they need to be released. ”

"Aunt Yan, I didn't say who I was obsessed with? It's just that the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, so she can only marry, and leaving her father, she has a lot of constraints, and she feels bored when she thinks about it. Princess Gao Yang said. (To be continued......)
