It's been a long time since the New Year!

After the first day of the first lunar month, Li Xian was not allowed to give red envelopes to his children. ＆

Although it is useless to ask for money when you were born in the emperor's house, but pinching the heavy New Year's money, a group of children still happily took it, and then went to compare how many of them, and they were still there to discuss what kind of good things to exchange.

In particular, the eldest Mo'er, after counting the gold and silver coins one by one, shouted in surprise and joy: "I have money, I can buy gifts and bring them to my mother!" ”

The New Year's money of ordinary people's families is just a few copper plates, and Li Xian naturally will not be so stingy. In these years, all kinds of gold and silver bills were not popular, and most of the gold and silver shops in the market also made gold and silver into coins, and the selling style was very similar to copper coins, but they were more shiny and valuable. Li Xian's New Year's money for his children is five gold and silver coins, and it is a lot of wealth when they are put in their purses, and they jingle outside.

The family gathered around the charcoal fire and looked at the children jumping around them, Li Xian couldn't help but touch his beard and sighed: "I'm going to run for three in this moment, this day is really fast!" ”

As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted a lot of shouting and scolding, especially Helan Yanqu Tushen, who was bigger than Li Xian, and Ruo Aluo couldn't wait to tear this guy's mouth. Helan patted the handrail with a puff and said angrily: "You are only twenty-six after the New Year, what kind of bastard are you talking about!" This father's fiftieth birthday this year, not to mention that the old mother has already passed her fiftieth birthday, and she is still in good spirits, what do you feel at such a young age! ”

Li Xian regretted it before he spoke, what this woman was most afraid of was that Shaohua was getting old. I inadvertently said that I offended my wives. In the following time, he tried his best to gag, and suffered countless cold eyes to make the atmosphere lively. And that's not even counting him, the twin daughters laughed and climbed on his lap and sat there, scratching their cheeks with their fingers.

"Daddy is stupid and said the wrong thing again!"

yes, yes. He, Li Xian, is really a big idiot! Having said that, Li Xian still flicked two fingers on the two smooth little cerebellum. Next, ignoring the two little girls who shouted at their father and bullied them, they opened the door and breathed in the cold air outside.

It's cold! Of course there is such a cold weather. It can bring out the warmth of the house, like the warmth of spring. Isn't it?

There were several small battles in the northwest in winter, and before the official conflict broke out, no long-eyed Tibetan nobleman dared to take more than 100,000 people to attack it once without his life. For Datang, the unorganized attack is basically sent to people to eat, and before Su Dingfang's feat of breaking 100,000 land with 8,000 in the past, it has always been common to win more battles with less. Lin Lei

It is no longer a day or two for Tubo to covet the four towns of Anxi and Tuyuhun, the vast and fertile climate of the four towns of Anxi is suitable for Tuyuhun's proximity to the Central Plains. These are all feelings they can't let go. If the whole country was united, I was afraid that Tubo would have started a big war long ago. However, when he thought that if he won a big victory, the Gar family would have no way to control the number of people who were holding back, and naturally there were as many people as they wanted.

When the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate in Liangzhou and Qiuzi Town was replaced by two famous generals, it was not just one person whose ambitions were curbed. It's a group of people. Thereupon. Princess Wencheng, who has almost no political status, has had a lot of people visiting in front of her tent since the beginning of the year.

In fact. When the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was replaced by Li Hong, Princess Wencheng's title became the eldest princess of Wencheng, but this did not mean anything to her, so the maids and attendants she brought from the Tang Dynasty still only called her princess. Compared with the eldest princess Honghua, who married earlier than her, she has had no happiness at all since the day she got married.

Songtsen Gampo was a male lord, but when she married him, Songtsen Gampo was already thirty-four years old. Although the age disparity is not so big, her married life is only nine years. She has been a widow in this snowy ice field for twenty-eight years now.

After the death of her husband, Princess Wencheng still has countless cattle and sheep, still has countless slaves, and there are still gifts and rewards from the Tang Emperor in her big tent, and the Tubo nobles will still salute respectfully when they see her, and the people will respect her from the bottom of their hearts. But that's all there is to it. She had no political power, her likes and dislikes could not control this ancient and barbaric dynasty, and she did not give birth to a son who could change all that.

She can meet with the people, teach them the medical classics from the Central Plains, wine-making techniques, and even wine-making techniques, build temples, and accept the worship of the people. But she could only do this, she could only watch the war on the frontier day after day, and could only look at the distant Central Plains from the high mountain peaks. She is not the eldest princess of Honghua, she can't go back, from the day she left, she said goodbye to Chang'an, Luoyang, her parents, and everything in the Central Plains.

Tubo Luoqi is already her home.

Princess Wencheng lay there, looking at the top of the tent stupidly, recalling her ups and downs in the past few decades. Like Wang Zhaojun in the past, she was willing and pro-Tibetan, otherwise there were so many clan daughters, why did she have to be her? It was precisely because of the tenacious thought in her heart that she took root in this foreign land and was not defeated by the cold weather. However, she was old after all.

"The princess didn't ask to see her."

"Please let her in."

Princess Wencheng motioned for the maid to help her up and sit up straight. Although she is not dressed up, although her head is no longer as dark and shiny as it used to be, she still has an outstanding look when she is seriously ill. As long as it is not the last day, she is still the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and she can't meet people with a tired face. Chi Malun opened the curtain and came in, and at a glance he saw Princess Wencheng sitting there, and he couldn't help but have a trace of admiration in his heart. She is a native of this snowy plateau, and she has always had an indescribable rejection of outsiders. However, when I saw this Tang princess at first glance. She sensed a sincerity and clarity, so she often came here even after marrying Mangsong Mangtsen.

Even if she doesn't come here to visit, there will never be a shortage of people.

According to the generation, Princess Wencheng is Mangsong, and Mangzan's grandmother, Chi Ma Lun, is the granddaughter-in-law. So Akamaren first saluted respectfully. After sitting down, I exchanged a few words of greetings before saying that the days were counted. The letter to Datang should have arrived.

It was from Princess Wencheng that the letter was written, and although she hadn't read it, she knew what Chi Malen had written on it. From the bottom of her heart, she admired the envoy who went to the Tang Dynasty in the past. Even when the other side is planning to start a war. That admiration has not diminished either—even though it was that person who undermined the hard-won peace between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet.

As for the more ambitious Qinling brothers, she only felt sorry for them. Although Tibet is large, the relationship between the nobles is intertwined and extremely complicated, even if the Gar family already has a strong foundation, but even if it is strong now, I am afraid that it will inevitably be liquidated in the future. Even if Mangsong Mangzan could tolerate the land represented by the granddaughter-in-law Chi Ma Lun in front of her, the Di Bulu family and other great nobles, I am afraid that they will not tolerate it indefinitely.

That's why I had the letter sent to Datang to tell her about her "illness".

"The Tang court has always been very concerned about my grandmother's condition. I will definitely send a doctor over, and my grandmother can rest assured. ”

Hearing this, Princess Wencheng only smiled slightly. Her own body knew that when she entered Tibet, she was accompanied by a large number of attendants and craftsmen. There are also doctors. He is still good at curing diseases. And in the construction of the Jokhang Temple and the Jokhang Temple, she has taken refuge in Buddhism. There is no desire for immortality.

"If Chi Ma Lun is in power, what kind of relationship do you want Tubo to maintain with the Tang Dynasty?"

For this unexpected question, Chi Maren was suddenly stunned. If it were a woman in another place, she would definitely shake her head at this time and say that women can't interfere in a man's world, but she just hesitated for a moment and then smiled heartily: "Grandmother, if it's just to make you happy, of course I should say that Tubo should never fight with the Tang Dynasty, but this is impossible." Although we have always lived in this snowy ice field, there are still more people who look forward to seeing the green mountains and green waters. ”

"Tubo does not have the ability to advance eastward, so I don't expect to be able to reach the Central Plains, but the vast Western Regions is where our hands can reach, and Tuyuhun is the feud of our Tubo people! It's a pity that although the Tang Dynasty didn't have any garrisons in the Western Regions before, they didn't pay much attention to it, but now more and more troops have been gathered there, and even those horse thieves in Tocharian are afraid that it is not so simple. Grandmother, although you are the princess of the Tang Dynasty and the Zanmeng of Tubo, you can't stop the ambitions of the two countries. Even if peace can be maintained for a while, there will be wars in the future. ”

This was the answer that Princess Wencheng expected, but even so, she couldn't help but feel a deep disappointment. She taught the Tibetans how to mill, weave, and make pottery...... But even if she taught them more, what good was that?

War is never avoidable, the more things they master, the more they will envy the prosperity and vastness of the Tang Dynasty, the more their ambitions will swell, and how can the Tang Dynasty allow others to touch the land under their rule? She never interfered in politics when she was Zanmon, but Chimaren was different.

"Chi Ma Lun, I know that after you take down Qin Ling, you will follow his old path. However, if you really take charge of Tibet in the future, don't start a war lightly. It's not because Datang is my homeland, but because ......," she sighed softly, remembering the news from the Central Plains over the years, "Now I am also a Tibetan after all, and I don't want so many people to die in vain." ”

Grandmother Chimaren, who stared at her eyes closed, bent down deeply and quietly withdrew from the tent. She knew that what Princess Wencheng needed was by no means a simple answer.
