Chapter 34: Fallacies and Heresies
The Tang Dynasty was not the Han Dynasty during the Yuan Emperor period, nor was it the powerful Xiongnu of the year.
In a word, all the generals here are refreshed, that's right, the Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty, not the Han Dynasty in the weak period, the battlefield generals of the Manchu Dynasty, although they can't all be compared with Wei Huo, but the pride of the Tang Dynasty is strong when it is strong, the Turks of the year are comparable to the Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty, Li Jing, Chai Shao, Li Xiaogong, etc. are not the first war to decide, Gaochang is not a minister, and it is not that Hou Jun gathered a large army to directly destroy the country, and Tubo has the advantage of the terrain, and it is not that he has no temper to be beaten.
"Please also ask the Marquis of Dongshan to say that I Tubo sincerely married and kissed the Tang Dynasty, why did the Marquis of Dongshan insult me Tubo three times and twice." Lu Dongzan looked at Xuan Shijing with an unkind face.
"No, no, no, I don't mean to insult Tibet, I'm just expressing an opinion." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "According to the example of the previous dynasty, it is generally the defeated country that sends the princess out to make peace, why is it that when it comes to my Tang Dynasty, whether it is won or lost, it has to be compensated for a princess?" How? Daxiang thinks I'm a bully? Xuan can say a word today, if your country is really sincere in marrying and marrying with my Tang Dynasty, please ask the prime minister to return to China and bring a princess over. ”
"Hahahahaha" Cheng Biting Jin, Niu Jinda and other generals couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
"You!" When Lu Dongzan heard this, he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
However, when some of the ministers present heard it, they felt that what Xuan Shijing said was right.
Why is it that whether it is won or lost, it is always the Central Plains Dynasty that sends the princess out to make peace, so what is the strength of such a fight? Isn't it enough to send the princess directly to keep peace, there are thousands of royal princesses, and if it is not enough, let Your Majesty work hard, so that the Tang Dynasty can last for thousands of years?
Therefore, it is ridiculous to say that the Tibetan minister proposed to marry this time!
Chu Suiliang, the eldest grandson Wuji and the others who were sitting below were stunned for a moment, looked at the many courtiers whispering around them, and smiled slightly.
The key is that it can still deceive people's minds, so that people can't find fault without listening carefully.
The eldest grandson Wuji sighed and smiled in his heart, so Ah, His Majesty's favor for Dongshan Hou is not unprovoked, and it is no wonder that his own children and a group of young people are sitting under the corridor, and Xuan Shijing can sit in this hall
"Today, Your Majesty held a banquet in this Lin De Palace, all the envoys who came from afar, don't talk about the side, about the harmony, although it is not the palace can participate, but after all, it also has some relationship with the harem, today is the end of it, whether it is my Tang Dynasty or Tubo or other envoys, I am afraid that we have to wait for careful consideration before the final decision, as for today, or to watch the performance to the fullest." Empress Changsun turned her face slightly, seeing that His Majesty Li Er's gaze seemed to have a deep meaning, she interrupted the conversation between Lu Dongzan and Xuan Shijing, if you say that Jinyang is the object of harmony, even the eldest grandson queen, who has always been virtuous, is unhappy in her heart.
Although what Xuan Shijing said can be regarded as a fallacy and heresy, it is not without a little truth, I am afraid that after today, His Majesty Li Er really has to go back and think about it carefully, in this Lin De Palace, on the topic between Xuan Shijing and Lu Dongzan, His Majesty Li Er should not say more, although he is partial to Xuan Shijing in his heart, but in front of everyone, he cannot directly refute Lu Dongzan.
"What the queen said is extreme, I see that it is not too early now, there are still a few polo games on the field outside the palace, everyone, come with me." His Majesty Li Er calmed his voice and put the wine glass in his hand on the table.
If he really makes up his mind not to make peace with these Fanbangs, then His Majesty Li Er will definitely convene Changsun Wuji and other ministers to discuss in advance, and ventilate, and when they arrive at the court, these ministers can always come up with many satisfactory reasons to make these Fanbang envoys speechless, instead of being like Xuan Shijing at this time, relying on a "fallacy and heresy." ”
As for the matter of harmony, it is really in front of him, and His Majesty Li Er also has to calm down and think about it.
At today's banquet, the courtiers did not speak, even Wei Zheng, who has always dared to admonish, and Fang Xuanling, who is strategic, did not speak, and the eldest grandson Wuji still had some resistance to letting Princess Jinyang go to kiss, Princess Jinyang is his niece, and he is deeply loved by His Majesty, and the eldest grandson Wuji guessed in his heart that neither His Majesty nor the queen would be willing to send Princess Jinyang out, so he was also silent.
The bigwigs in the court didn't speak, and the people below couldn't guess the meaning of it, so they could only be silent.
It's the generals, there are a lot of people who agree with Xuan Shijing's point of view, especially Cheng Yanjin, who is completely a person who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, Xiao Jing'er is at this age, even if something goes wrong, you can use your youth to fool the past, anyway, everyone has said that the crown prince has said that Xuanhou is still young.
Sure enough, this kind of banquet in the palace will definitely not make people eat well. Xuan Shijing pursed his lips, glanced at the food on the table, ignored Sun Simiao's instructions not to eat more meat, tore off a chicken leg from the plate, and walked out with Li Chengqian, Li Ke and others.
At this time, the young people under the corridor of the Lin De Hall had already eaten enough, and they gathered together to discuss the upcoming polo game.
There are not many places for young people in Chang'an City to have fun, and naturally there are such a group of young people who love to play polo.
I have to say that polo is a sport in Datang, and only these nobles can play, and the cost of a good horse and a suitable venue may be the living expenses of hundreds of families for several years.
For this kind of sport, Xuan Shijing is naturally lacking in interest, if people who are not good at equestrian play this polo, in case of falling off the horse, it is possible to fall disabled, there is a kung fu of playing polo, it is better to play Keju.
Speaking of polo, Li Ke and Li Chengqian are both masters in this, but Li Tai is the same as Xuan Shijing, who is not interested in polo at all.
Walking out of the hall, Xuan Shijing saw Cheng Chumo riding a horse in the distance and walking in circles in the field, Qin Ying and Chai Lingwu were also there, and the three of them were all members of the Datang polo team.
The other teams were Polo teams belonging to Tibet, Turks and Goguryeo, and of course, several small countries in the Western Regions also sent a team each.
Goguryeo was still able to form a polo team in Datang? When did the Goguryeo people have this kind of leisure?
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I saw that the talents of Datang were heroic, how about a fight between the two teams of Datang and Tubo?" Lu Dongzan said that in the Lin De Hall just now, the face that was really counted by Xuan Shijing has lost face, but he hopes to defeat the Datang team on this court, so that they can see how majestic and mighty the sons and daughters of Tubo are.
