Chapter 705: The Emperor Proposes

Zhao Ziliang handed the chapter to the little eunuch next to him and put it back, and said to Xuanzong Zhengse: "Your Majesty, the views of the ministers are exactly the opposite of those of the ministers!" ”

Xuanzong couldn't help but glance at Yang Yuhuan when he heard Zhao Ziliang's words, Yang Yuhuan smiled and said: "Ziliang, this is strange, can you tell me the reason?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Let's talk about the first article first, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, I have had two peace with Tubo, one is Princess Wencheng, the other is Princess Jincheng, these two peace relations were political needs at that time, it can also be said that the military strength of our dynasty in Longyou and Hexi was weak, and I had to use peace to ease the relationship with Tubo!" ”

Xuanzong nodded and said, "Yes, but this time it's the same!" Why didn't Zhao Qing agree to make peace with Tubo? ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "The situation is indeed roughly the same as the previous two, but the difference is that the first two Tubo people are at war with our dynasty, they know our virtual reality, and this time the Tibetan people do not know the virtual reality of our dynasty in Longyou and Hexi, if I marry the princess in Tubo Zanpu, it will arouse the suspicion of the Tibetan monarchs and ministers, in this negotiation, the court should clearly tell Yan Zhenqing that the negotiation process can not let their momentum be at a disadvantage, but the attitude should be tougher, this diplomatic negotiation is also the same as the use of the art of war, virtual reality, Real and virtual, so that the opponent can't figure it out! And Weichen is not against the pro, but this is different from the last two pros! ”

Yang Yuhuan said curiously: "What's the difference? ”

"It's not that I marry the princess to Tubo Zampu, but that Tubo marries the princess to the prince of my dynasty!"

Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan looked at each other, stunned for a while, and then Xuanzong came back to his senses and asked, "Can this work?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Who said no? Who stipulates that the peace between the two countries can only be for me to marry the princess, not for my court to take a daughter-in-law? Only in this way can we dispel the doubts of the Tibetan monarchs and ministers, it has always been me who married the princess, and we will also marry a princess from a foreign country! ”

Xuanzong thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Zhao Ziliang said made sense, and he couldn't help but nod happily: "Haha, not bad, not bad, reasonable!" ”

Yang Yuhuan asked again: "Why does Ziliang not agree to the second clause, but agree with the third clause?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Weichen opposes the second article, but he does not agree with the third article, but if the Tubo people insist, the third article is negotiable!" ”

Yang Yuhuan thought that Zhao Ziliang's idea was very strange, after all, it was completely different from today's mainstream thinking, which made her extremely curious and interested, and if it was other political affairs, she didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Zhao Ziliang said: "Weichen makes an analogy, if Niangniang is a skilled craftsman, relying on this craft, not only does he live a very rich life, but also makes his family live well, but if one day you have an excellent friend who has no source of livelihood and comes to you to borrow money, or to learn the craft from you, do you lend him money, or teach him the craft?" ”

Yang Yuhuan thought for a while and said: "If it's an excellent friend, I think I'll hand him over the craft, after all, it won't take long for him to lend him money." But if he learns my craft, won't he compete with me? Well, I guess I'd better lend him money, but I can't always lend him money, right? ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled: "He is just your friend, not your family, even if he is your brother and sister, can you help him once or twice, can you help him for a lifetime?" What's more, it's just a friend? He has his life, you have your family, and you have done your best to help him once or twice. You also know that even a good friend can only borrow money and not teach you skills, otherwise he will rob you of your work, not to mention that he is still your enemy? This is the same as the principle between Tibet and our country, and now we want to stabilize Tibet, if we agree to the conditions of Tibet, and carry a large number of medical books, smelting, forging, farming, and building books and craftsmen in the dowry, it is equivalent to being an enemy! They have learned these skills, the national strength will be stronger, they have the skills of smelting and forging can make their own sharper weapons and strong armor, they have learned the method of farming, the grain production will increase, they have learned the method of building, they can build houses, the number of people who freeze to death will be reduced, they have learned the method of seeing and treating the sick in the medical books, there will be fewer people dying of diseases every year, they are our enemies, our country wishes to destroy Tibet, why send them these things? Isn't that stupid what is? ”

When Princess Wencheng got married, there were a large number of books on medicine, smelting, forging, agriculture and other books among the dowries, which seemed to be in the era of great unification and peace in later generations, Princess Wencheng married to Tubo to greatly improve the living standards of the Tibetan people, and the degree of civilization was also improved, and the cultural exchanges between the two places were strengthened, which was of great significance! But in the era of the Tang Dynasty, its consequences were the enemy, not anything else!

After all, Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan are people of this era, including other ministers and people, they are limited by the times, and their thinking can't jump out, thinking that giving these things to Tubo is a kind of grace and gift, but after Zhao Ziliang's analysis, the minds of the two of them suddenly opened up.

Xuanzong sighed: "Ziliang's words are very good, why couldn't I figure this out before and the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces? ”

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is not strange, Your Majesty and the ministers of the court and the central government are mostly influenced by the ideas of the ancients and the ancestors of their predecessors, and it is normal that they can't see through it!" So Weichen thinks that if it really doesn't work, we would rather sell them some iron tools to them and get them to agree to sign a covenant, iron tools are consumables, they don't have superb casting skills to create armor that is not as tough and sharp as the armor of our dynasty, and it is also not the opponent of our army, and the weapons and armor are easy to damage and consume! However, if the Tibetans are allowed to learn the skills of mining, smelting and blacksmithing, it will be difficult for us to contain them, so the skills must not be easily learned by foreign countries! ”

Xuanzong nodded and said to Zhao Ziliang: "I will discuss this matter with the ministers tomorrow." Bringing Ziliang here today, there is another matter! ”

After speaking, Xuanzong gave Yang Guifei a color, and Yang Guifei said to Zhao Ziliang with a smile: "That day in Ma Weiyi, Your Majesty and I have both met Ziliang's second son, and he was born a talent, I don't know how old he is this year?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Zhao Ting, the second son of Weichen, is sixteen this year!" ”

Yang Yuhuan said with a smile: "That's the case, Your Majesty likes Zhao Ting very much, and wants to marry the Lord of Yining to Zhao Ting, what do you think?" ”

The county lord of Yining is the daughter of Li Heng and one of the granddaughters of Xuanzong, and at present, the direct county lord of the royal family is only the same age as the county lord of Yining and Zhao Ting, and he has not yet married.

"Huh?" Zhao Ziliang was stunned.

Yang Yuhuan saw Zhao Ziliang like this, and asked, "What, Ziliang is unwilling?" ”

Zhao Ziliang came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "No, no, Weichen just thinks it's too sudden, and the dog Zhao Ting didn't mention to Weichen that he wanted to get married." Although it is said that the marriage is the order of the parents, it is always inappropriate to completely ignore the feelings and thoughts of the children, and if the man and woman do not get along, even after marriage, they will not be able to survive. His Majesty wants to marry the county lord to the dog, but Weichen thinks that he is high, how can there be any reason to be unwilling? However, Weichen has a suggestion, find a way to let the county lord and the dog meet, don't tell them about the marriage first, if they can talk about it, the eyes are right, this family matter can be decided, Weichen and His Majesty are happy to see it, if they can't talk, then just give up, Your Majesty doesn't want his county lord to marry into Weichen's family and be wronged, right? ”

Xuanzong saw that although Zhao Ziliang did not directly agree, he did not shirk it directly, but thought it through very thoroughly, so he was very happy, and immediately agreed: "This is good!" In this case, today is the nineteenth day of the lunar month, and it is not a few days before the New Year, and after the New Year, next year's Shangyuan Festival is a good day, Ziliang brought Zhao Ting to Chang'an before the Shangyuan Festival, and then I will arrange this matter, what do you think? ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Your Majesty Shengming, Weichen wants to ask, who is the biological mother of this Yining County Lord?"

Xuanzong said with a smile: "The biological mother of the county lord of Yining is the palace man Zhang!" ”

Zhao Ziliang suddenly realized: "Oh! ”

The next day, after some deliberation between Xuanzong and the ministers, the edict Shangshu Province replied to Yan Zhenqing, vetoing the second article, modifying the first article to let Tubo marry the princess to the Tang Dynasty, as for the third article to be vetoed at the beginning of the negotiations, as the negotiations progressed, a slight concession could be made, and it was agreed to export 10,000 catties of iron to Tubo every year, so that although Tubo could buy iron tools from the Tang Dynasty, the number of iron tools obtained each year was limited, and it could not be made into weapons and armor equipment for the army on a large scale.

Zhao Ziliang came out of Huaqing Palace, returned to his home in Chang'an, and immediately wrote a letter to Chen Qingying and Nie Sanniang, in a letter to Chen Qingying, saying that the emperor had taken a fancy to Zhao Ting and wanted to marry the lord of Yining to Zhao Ting, but I don't know if this matter can be done, all in all, since Zhao Ting's marriage is almost eyebrow-raising, and Zhao Lei's marriage as the boss should also be put on the agenda immediately, and he can't let his younger brother marry in front of his brother, right? So he told Chen Qingying in the letter, let Zhao Lei quickly find a woman he liked, don't pay attention to the identity of the woman, as long as Zhao Lei likes it, if Zhao Lei can't find it himself, then let her, a mother, find one for her son, the first choice is the daughter of the Beiting official general's family, if he really can't find it, he will find him here in Chang'an, Chang'an is where the imperial court is located after all, there are many famous families and scholars, and it is easy to find a woman who is knowledgeable and reasonable, and the right age is still easy to find!

Zhao Ziliang's letter to Nie Sanniang mentioned that Zhao Ting was favored by the emperor and wanted to marry the county lord to her son, although this matter has not been skimmed yet, but she still made her mentally prepared, so as not to be a mother-in-law and grandmother in the future and not adapt to her identity.
