The sun hung hot in the air, radiating light and heat without hesitation.

Xu Qilin was so hot that he abandoned his horse and rode in the car, and he felt a lot more comfortable in the carriage with ice cubes to cool down.

Xiaobo has always been silent, Chang'an, or North Lane, is not a good memory for her. The closer she got, the more worried and heavy she became.

Of course, Xiaobo will not only worry, but will only reluctantly live that painful life. And the change of expectation began to be tested after she lived in the village courtyard for a day.

saw that Xu Qilin also got into the carriage, but he did not lie cross-legged or lying, but sat on a soft chair fixed in the carriage to rest.

Xiaobo hurriedly went up to wipe his sweat and hand over drinks, and then fanned Xu Qilin to cool off, serving him attentively and thoughtfully.

Xu Qilin is also accustomed to being served, and enjoys the treatment of this little master very much.

Xiaobo looked at Xu Qilin very comfortable and enjoyable, and felt that if he didn't say it at this time, he was afraid that he would never have a chance.

"When the fake mother bought the slave's house, it was just a few expenses." Xiaobo said in a low voice: "If Xu Lang wants to buy a maid, it will be about the same price. In the past few days, Xu Lang thinks the slave family has served well? ”

Xu Qilin looked at Xiaobo and understood what she meant: people are not expensive, just a few dollars. If you want to buy a maid, won't it cost you the same money? Do you think I've served well these days?

Xiaobo looked at Xu Qilin expectantly, pitifully waiting for his reply.

A few dollars to buy a maid is really not expensive, but it is not cheap. If you catch up with the disaster and buy it from the refugees, it will be more economical.

But Xu Qilin felt that if he could buy it and let her out of the sea of suffering, no amount of money would be nothing. Besides, getting along with myself for a few days is also a little emotional, and the service is considerate, and I am quite used to it.

Xu Qilin reached out and touched Xiaobo's head and said, "If that fake mother is willing to sell, money is not a problem." ”

Xiaobo landed on the ground with a stone, and immediately showed a happy expression, and said in a loud voice: "Willing to sell, willing to sell, anyway, the slave family is so stupid, and he can't learn the words." ”

After a pause, she added: "There is also Sister Yiyi, who will also help the slave family speak." She's the number one in the yard, and the fake mother often wants to please her! ”

To please Tang Yiyi, it is just to let her pick up more guests and make more money.

But when Xu Qilin heard Xiaobo say this, he also felt a lot of hope. Even if he was knocked out of the money by the fake mother, he could bear it.

"When I arrived in Chang'an, I sent someone to invite Tang Yiyi to discuss it privately, so I know what to expect." Xu Qilin still has reservations, and he is not very sure.

"Okay, that's the best way to do it." Xiaobo was happy in his heart, and the massage worked harder, and he kept thanking: "Xu Lang, you are so good." In the future, the slave family will definitely serve you well, and you can let the slave family do anything. ”

Well, I'm such a good person. But you are so grateful, it is easy for me to have that bad idea.

Xu Qilin smiled, reached out and touched Xiaobo's face.

……………

Tibet, with a vast area, hundreds of thousands of victorious soldiers, and the neighbors are afraid. Its king is called "Zampu", the minister is called "Shang", and the royal family is called "Theory".

Although Songtsen Gampo sent an envoy to reconcile with the Tang Dynasty in the eighth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty also sent his ministers to Tibet. However, the Tang Dynasty's monarchs and ministers had a very superficial understanding of Tibet.

In the tenth year of Zhenguan, Songtsen Gampo sent a special envoy to Chang'an to ask for marriage, but Li Er did not allow it.

In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, harmony was originally a common thing, and it was also a common strategy for the imperial court to appease the surrounding vassal states. Like Tuyuhun, Turkic, Khitan, Hui, Xi, etc., there were princesses and relatives of the Tang Dynasty.

According to statistics, there were 16 princesses who married into ethnic minority areas in the Tang Dynasty. Six of them were the emperor's own daughters, and the others were the daughters of the emperor's relatives or meritorious officials.

For harmony, different times have different views and conclusions; There are different perspectives and different understandings and evaluations.

Like the Tang Dynasty, why didn't they regard harmony as humiliation? The reason is also very simple, that is, there is strength. It was to defeat the opponent, let the opponent run around to show surrender and friendliness, and took the initiative to propose marriage to ensure that Tang Jun would not beat him.

Therefore, in the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty, it was a condescending marriage, and the nature was different, so it was naturally not shameful at all.

Like the early Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was not strong enough and had to use women to alleviate the conflict and fight for security. In that way, it is called harmony, which is humiliating and compromised.

But the refusal to marry humiliated Songtsen Gampo's pride, and he was angry and unconvinced.

The rising Tubo is much stronger than Tuyuhun, and Tuyuhun has princesses, so why can't I? Why, why?

Because of this, Songtsen Gampo showed his strength to marry a princess in order to compete for his breath. He led the Tubo army to defeat Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, and Bailan Zhuqiang, and attacked Songzhou in the Tang Dynasty, and caused the Qiang chieftains in Yanzhou and Nuozhou to rebel.

Then, when this guy sent an envoy to bring a heavy gift to ask for relatives again, the opinions of the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers were highly unified, that is, "fighting".

Okay, you led your troops to attack our city, and you sent an envoy to ask for your relatives? What is this called, is it especially called forced marriage? If I say yes now, won't I be afraid of you? Replacing a woman for your retirement, this face is embarrassing.

Even if I might marry in the future, I have to defeat you first. Otherwise, don't talk about it.

Look, this is the ambition of the people of the Tang Dynasty at that time, and it is the basis of strength and confidence. Asking for relatives can be considered, but you have to ask, the attitude must be humble, and the bride price must be generous, then it is possible.

If a person like Songtsen Gampo feels that he is not ambiguous and dares to come to the door, then he must be beaten up first, and then talk about the marriage proposal.

In front of the sand table, His Majesty Li Er summoned Li Tao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to study how to fight back against Tubo's "forced marriage", so that this guy knew how many catties and taels he had.

Datang has two of the top founding generals, and later generations collectively called them "Er Li". One is the "Tota Heavenly King" Li Jing, and the other is Li Tao.

Li Jingnan Ping Xiao Milling, Fu Gong Qi, the north to destroy the Eastern Turks, the west to break the Tuguhun, can be described as the Tang Dynasty military god. Moreover, he is not only capable of fighting, but also has excellent military ideas and theories, and can be called a military strategist.

He is the author of "Li Jing's Six Military Mirrors" and other volumes of the art of war, which have been lost in later generations, and only the descendants edited "Tang Taizong Li Weigong Asks the Right", which was included in the "Seven Books of Wujing" in the Northern Song Dynasty, which is a representative work of ancient military science.

However, since the ninth year of Zhenguan, after Li Jing conquered Tuyuhun, he was falsely accused of rebellion by Gao Yongsheng, the governor of Yanze Province. Although the truth was ascertained, Li Jing was fine.

But since then, he has also sensed Li Er's suspicions, so he "closed the door and guarded himself" and became an otaku, not to mention guests, even relatives could not enter casually.
