?? Li Zhan left the Ganlu Hall and returned to his palace.

?? Seeing Li Zhan coming back, the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Fang Xuanling, Yu Wenshi, Qin Qiong and others all came over, and the eldest grandson Wuji took the lead in asking, "Did you quarrel?" ”

?? Li Zhan laughed: "No... Why be noisy? ”

??“ Don't hide it from us... We all know His Majesty's thoughts, he is more inclined to be friendly? The eldest grandson Wuji directly told the matter.

??“ I know... But in addition to harmony, the Tang Dynasty also needs the prestige, after all, the father is the Heavenly Khan, and the little barbarians in Tubo united with the Tuyuhun rebels to attack my Suzhou.

?? That's right... We lack military funds in the Tang Dynasty, but if we don't fight, we will declare peace, and in the future, as long as there are barbarians to attack us, we will make peace, there are many princesses in the Tang Dynasty, but none of them are forced to make peace. ”

??“ Yes... So that's how it was... His Royal Highness the King of Qin can see it thoroughly! Fang Xuanling nodded slightly.

?? However, after Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Yu Wenshi on the side said: "It's just that we really don't have military funds to support another war, and Tubo is not a simple barbarian... They are very strong. ”

?? Not only did Yu Wenshi think so, but in fact, Qin Qiong and other famous generals were also timid towards Tubo.

?? The Tang Dynasty was considered one of the most powerful empires in China. The Tang Emperor was at its peak, strong in battle, and was in a strong position most of the time in foreign wars, and its territory reached more than 12.3 million square kilometers in its heyday, which was the peak of the territory of the Han Dynasty.

?? Even the powerful nomadic Turks and Goguryeo, the overlord of Northeast Asia, were wiped out in years of entanglement with the Tang Dynasty, which shows how powerful it was.

?? However, when the Tang Dynasty swept through the surrounding countries, it encountered a strong enemy, Tibet, and the two countries fought peacefully until the Tang Dynasty destroyed the country.

?? Why was the Tang Dynasty, which was so powerful that even the Turks and Goguryeo were not opponents, that it could not conquer Tibet? In fact, the strength of Tibet at that time was beyond the imagination of many people, and the reason why it was powerful was because Tibet at that time encountered the following factors to become powerful.

?? One is much wetter than the current humid climatic conditions

?? The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the Tang Dynasty was far from being as barren and uninhabited as it is today. At that time, the climate of the plateau region was temperate, and the excellent climatic conditions contributed to the first large-scale agricultural development in the history of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The birthplace of the Tibetan Dynasty, the Yalong River Valley in Shannan, is a rare rich land with abundant water and grass on the plateau.

?? In addition, the vast grasslands of northern Tibet provide unique conditions for the development of animal husbandry, and cattle, sheep, and war horses can be obtained from here. All of the above have become a powerful material support for the Tubo Dynasty.

?? The second is the powerful strength condensed by the great unification regime

?? Before the Tang Dynasty, the Tibetan Plateau was still in a state of constant chaos with various forces, and this situation was completely reversed after the succession of its illustrious monarch Songtsen Gampo. Songtsen Gampo completed the great cause of basically unifying all the Tibetan tribes and laid a strong foundation for Tibet.

?? The third is the continuous influx of new technologies

?? At the same time as the unification of Tibet, the horizons have also been broadened, and successive generations of Zampu have paid attention to the introduction of advanced technology. Although the most technologically advanced Tang Dynasty forbade the export of technology, the Tibetans at that time found a different way, mastering many advanced technologies such as iron smelting and smelting from Central Asia and Indians, which promoted the military power.

?? Fourth, there is a huge reserve of military strength

?? Due to the great development of agriculture and animal husbandry, Tibet was able to feed a large enough population at that time. At its peak, the number of Tibetans reached more than 3 million, and if you add other ethnic groups in the areas under their control, there were nearly 10 million people. This was simply a superpower at that time, you know, during the Zhenguan period of Tang Taizong, because of the wars of the previous hundreds of years, the population of the country only recovered to more than 15 million.

?? The huge population provided Tibet with enough military reserves to cope with the constant attrition of the war. According to historical records, the Tubo people invaded the Tang Dynasty many times, and the army was able to have 400,000. You know, it was the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which was cold and oxygen-deficient, and it was already very terrifying that the army could have such a number at that time.

?? It is precisely these conditions that made Tibet a major threat to the west in the Tang Dynasty, and it was also one of the few forces that were difficult to defeat in the Tang Dynasty in the past 300 years, which shows how strong and difficult its strength is.

?? It is also because of these reasons that Li Shimin is afraid of Tibet, and just because Suzhou is besieged, he has the intention of wanting to make peace.

??“ Hehe...! Just when everyone had some respect for Tubo, Li Zhan smiled faintly and said: "Tubo is very strong, I admit this, but I have the ability to destroy Tubo, although I can't catch up with the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but no matter how many people come from Tubo, I, Li Zhan, can also lead the Tiger Army and the Tiger Army to drive Tubo out of my Tang Dynasty." ”

??“ Zhan'er... You know, there are less than 16,000 people in the Tiger Army and the Tiger Army? The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Zhan worriedly.

?? Li Zhan looked at Cheng Chumo and the others on the side and shouted, "Are you afraid? ”

?? As soon as the words were finished, Cheng Chumo, Hou Guangliang... The group knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Swear to follow Your Highness to the death...!" ”

?? This scene made Li Dafu come over and smile: "Oops... It's just a light meal, don't be like this, get up, get up, today is a good day for His Highness to be a father, don't talk about things in the court, come... I'll raise a glass to all of you. ”

?? Li Dafu came over to play a round, and finally everyone finally remembered the important things that came to Li Zhan's mansion today, and then the eating and drinking started again, and Li Zhan still drank too much tonight.

?? Looking at Li Zhan, who drank too much and didn't care about Tubo at all, Changsun Wuji and the others didn't know what to say, according to Changsun Wuji's understanding of Li Zhan, Li Zhan should be confident, otherwise he wouldn't care so much about Tubo.

?? ..............................

?? At noon the next day, the drunk Li Zhan woke up from his bed faintly, and when he opened his eyes, Li Zhan saw Xiao Yue'er and Hua Gu wiping their bodies.

?? Probably threw up last night.

?? Li Zhan asked with an 'um' sound, "What time is it?" ”

??“ Oh... His Highness is awake. Yue'er hurriedly replied happily: "It's already noon, everyone has had lunch, is Your Highness hungry?" ”

??“ I'm not hungry yet... By the way, how are the ladies and the children? Li Zhan asked his wife and children.

??“ It's all good... Your Highness, rest assured... The little masters are all full, I just went to see it, and I slept soundly. Yue'er grinned.

?? Then I heard Hua Gu suddenly ask: "Your Highness, Miss Yi will not really be married to Tibet, I heard that the people in Tibet are barbarians, eat raw meat, and drink blood." ”

?? Hua Gu's words made Li Zhan laugh, and then touched the little girl's head dotingly: "Who did you listen to?" ”

??“ A lot of people... That's what I said, and I saw Madame crying, but Madame wouldn't let us not tell you. Hua Gu tilted her little head and looked at Li Zhan.

?? Li Zhan nodded slightly, he also knew that his mother Yue Niang was reluctant to marry her daughter to Tubo, but Yue Niang did not tell her son that if Yue Niang begged Li Zhan, Li Zhan would definitely listen to Yue Niang, and it was precisely because of this that Yue Niang was afraid of causing trouble to her son, so she hid her pain in her heart.

?? For Yue Niang, not embarrassing Li Zhan is the biggest thing.

??“ I know...! Li Zhan smiled: "You can rest assured, whether it is a child or you, Lone will protect you, you must be willing to marry, and Lone will prepare a dowry for each of you." ”

??“ I don't want to...! ”

?? Hua Gu and Yue'er said in unison.

??“ Forehead...! This made Li Zhan stunned, and just when Li Zhan wanted to ask why, the voice of the old man came from outside: "Your Highness, has it risen, the prince has been waiting outside for a while." ”

??“ Oh...! Li Zhan immediately replied: "Get up, let Cheng Qian stay a little longer, and I'll go right away." ”

?? After Li Zhan finished speaking, he said to Hua Gu and Yue'er: "Come, serve me and dress, you can't let our Royal Highness the Crown Prince wait for a long time...!" ”

??“ Yes, sir...! Hua Gu and Yue'er hurriedly moved up a little faster.

?? After a while, Li Zhan was served, walked out of his room, and followed behind Li Zhan, Yue'er asked, "Does Your Highness want to bring you some food?" ”

??“ Well... It would be nice to send some soup cakes. ”

??“ Yes, sir...! ”

?? In this way, Li Zhan walked into the room where Li Chengqian was staying, and what surprised Li Zhan was that in the room at this time, the atmosphere was not very good, Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Changle and Gao Yang stayed inside, and Gao Yang was still anxious and kept walking back and forth.

??“ What's wrong with you guys? Li Zhan walked in with a smile.

?? Just after letting Li Zhan walk into the room, Gao Yang immediately rushed to Li Zhan's side and shouted, "Big brother... Hurry up and save Sister Sui'an...! ”

?? Sister Sui'an in Gao Yang's mouth is actually Li Shimin's fourth daughter Princess Sui'an, this Princess Sui'an is a hard-working person, she married twice at the beginning, the previous concubine Dou Kui, from the family of Queen Taimu, is the son of Dou Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the male of Xindu. The princess and the concubine should have a son, named Dou Songtao.

?? But who knows, that one. Dou Kui died early, and the atmosphere in Datang at this time was that a woman could remarry if her husband died.

?? So Li Shimin let his fourth daughter remarry Wang Dali.

?? Wang Dali, from a low background, once served as the captain of Xuanjie and the right Qianniu when he was Zhenguan. Wang Dali's great-grandfather Wang De and grandfather Wang Rui both served as high-ranking officials, but his father Wang Lang only served as the county Peng and writer of Longxi County of Sui.

?? Later, Wang Dali was appreciated by Li Shimin, and he was able to become a princess of Shangsui'an.

?? I heard Gao Yang say save Sister Sui'an... Li Zhan's brows furrowed, "What happened?" ”

?? followed Changle and said, "Big brother... Sister Sui'an is so pitiful, he was bullied too badly by the Wang family, just because Sister Sui'an insisted on taking Songtao with her.

?? The Wang family has always been bad to Sister Sui'an! ”

??“ Does Wang Dali want to die? Li Zhan shouted angrily.

??“ It's not Wang Dali, Wang Dali is not in Chang'an now, he was sent to other places by his father, in fact, Wang Dali is very good to Sister Sui'an, and it is the old mother of the Wang family who is not good to Sister Sui'an, as well as Wang Dali's brother and sister-in-law.

?? Sister Sui'an had some dowries in her hands, but these were all given to Songtao in the future, but the Wang family thought that Sister Sui'an's property should be the Wang family, so the family forced to give all the dowries in Sister Sui'an's hands to the Wang family.

?? But Sister Sui'an refused, just now we learned that Sister Sui'an was about to give birth, but the Wang family deliberately did not find a stable wife for Sister Sui'an, I went to a trip, but was blocked by the Wang family. ”

??“ Li Chengqian... What are you eating, is your East Palace Six Rate an ornament? Li Zhan turned his head and glared at Li Chengqian.

?? At this time, Li Chengqian stepped back, lowered his head and said: "Big brother forgive the sin, the East Palace does not dare to use the sword soldiers, after all, the Wang family is a noble, if the sword soldiers are used, it will make other nobles feel cold...!" ”

?? The latter words were not said, and Li Zhan scolded: "Bastard, my sister's life is in danger, and I still care about Xungui, my Li family's royal family does not bully others, but whoever dares to bully my Li family's royal family, my Li family's heat will be killed...!"

?? Li Chengqian...! ”

??“ Brother is in...! Li Chengqian immediately bowed down.

??“ Give me Li Tai, Li You, Li Su, Li Yun, Li Zhen, Li Zhi, Li Shen.... All of them called me to Wang Dali's mansion, my sister had an accident, my younger brother didn't go up to anyone, take my Longquan sword, who dared to resign, cut me off...! Labor and management gave them half an hour, if anyone did not arrive in front of Wang Dali's house for half an hour, don't blame labor and management for not treating him as a brother. ”

??“ Yes, sir...! Li Chengqian hurriedly ran out, he wanted to go to various palaces and palaces immediately to inform the news, Li Zhan was really angry this time.

?? Just after Li Chengqian left, Li Zhan looked at Li Ke, Changle, and Gao Yang and said, "Let's go... Go to Wang Dali's house, today I will not send troops as the king of Qin, my identity is the brother of Sister Sui'an, who dares to touch my family, I Li Zhan will definitely not give up. ”

?? ..........................

??“ Get out of the way... Get out of the way...! ”

?? Li Chengqian rode a horse and galloped, the first time the prince lost his former dignity, all the way kept beating horses forward, the first stop was the palace of Li You, the king of Qi, came to the door, the palace guards of Li You, the king of Qi, just about to give a salute to Li Chengqian.

?? Li Chengqian didn't say a word, and rushed into Li You's mansion without grace at all.

?? At this time, Li You was watching the dance with his uncle Yin Hongzhi, and at this time, Li Chengqian ran in and shouted: "Sixth brother... Sixth Brother...! ”

?? Li You was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Chengqian and asked in surprise: "Why is the prince here, please come up and drink a glass of water and wine." ”

??“ Don't drink anymore.... The eldest brother has an order, and he arrives at Wang Dali's mansion in half an hour, if anyone is overdue, the eldest brother says don't blame labor and management for not treating him as a brother. Li Chengqian finished shouting loudly.

?? Li You, who was still relaxed, jumped up from the chair and shouted, "De Ling, I'll go right away... By the way, Prince, are you going with me? ”

??“ I'm going to go to the other brothers' places, you go quickly, the eldest brother is very angry this time, don't go too late! Li Chengqian said.

?? On the other hand, Li You said again and again: I know...! ”

?? That respectful attitude is really rare.
