Chapter 490: Trust
Sheena said: "Harold, your brother-in-law is very kind to me, I will not betray him, you go back first, I want to think about it." ”
Seeing Harold away, Sheena felt so bad that she locked herself in her room and thought about it all day.
Will she choose to be faithful to her marriage or to her people?
At the beginning, Li Ke's side concubine, Princess Mingzhu of Tubo, chose to flee back to Tubo, how did Xina choose?
If Xina makes the same choice as Princess Mingzhu, Li Su will face betrayal.
This kind of betrayal, for other kings, is nothing more than the loss of a woman, and they will even feel glad that there is one less spy by their side.
Li Su pays attention to family affection, and this incident will deal a heavy blow to him emotionally.
In the office of the Taiji Palace, Li Su, who was in his spare time, was also thinking about this problem.
In Chang'an in winter, twilight fell early, and the lights in the room were held early.
Sheena was still thinking blankly.
Husband, Datang, mother, father, brother, Arabia, one question after another, as if the marquee was circling in her mind.
Sheena was dizzy and felt like vomiting.
Sheena looked out the dim window and subconsciously walked out of the room.
The winter in Chang'an is very cold, and Sheina's pretty face is exposed to the cold wind, and it is bitterly cold.
But she didn't know it, and a scorching flame burned in her chest.
She stood at the door of the East Palace, looking in the direction of the Taiji Palace, and stood for a long time.
When she saw Li Su's tall and majestic figure, she was already in tears.
When Li Su's kind smile appeared in front of Shena, she rushed over desperately and threw herself into Li Su's generous and warm arms.
At this moment, Li Su also felt warm in his heart, and he hugged Xina's delicate body lovingly, feeling relieved.
Li Su hugged Hina and came to his study.
Hina told Li Su all her troubles without reservation, and her heart was relieved.
Li Su looked at the delicate woman in front of him, and also felt trusted and trusted, and his heart was extremely happy.
Li Su said: "The only way to solve this matter is to let Harold leave Chang'an and return to Damascus.
Otherwise, the situation continues to develop to the point of no return, and you will really face the pain of losing a loved one.
Your mother will not be implicated, and the caliph will not do anything to her.
As for Harold, he may face some difficulties, but he is a man, and the difficulties he faces are of his own making, and he should face them bravely. ”
Xina nodded and said, "The concubine knows that she will arrange for him to leave Chang'an as soon as possible." ”
Li Su said: "In this way, in order to let him go back and have an explanation, I will ask the queen to sort out some scientific and technological materials and let Harold bring them back to Damascus." ”
Sheena was extremely moved, and her heart was filled with a feeling of happiness.
The Spring Festival of 643 has arrived.
In the blink of an eye, it has been 10 years since Li Su came to this era.
Li Su visited Concubine Yang, and then set up a banquet in the East Palace.
East Palace.
In the expanded banquet hall of the East Palace, Princess An Ning, Changsun Chong, Li Dan, Du He, and their wives and concubines gathered together lively.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Su remembered the way they gathered back then, and it was like a dream.
In the past 10 years, it is these little partners who have supported each other in the wind and rain and have come to this day step by step.
Li Su was both happy and very proud. Among these people, no one betrayed each other, trusted each other, and went through countless trials for ten years, which is really commendable.
Everyone talked about the past and drank happily.
Li Ning'er said: "Back then, Brother Liang Wang competed with Mr. Kong in class, but I sweated. ”
Li Su smiled: "Li Dan and Du He, the two guys, stabbed my ass and forced me to intercede for them, and my legs and stomachs also turned tendons at that time."
Now that I think about it, I'm still a little scared. ”
Li Dan smiled: "At that time, Du He and I envied that you could not go to school, so we could only count on you." Who made you timid and afraid to come out? ”
Duhe said: "It's just that we thought you would come forward, but who would have thought that you would shrink back?"
However, if the two of us hadn't forced you, you wouldn't have been in the limelight. ”
Li Ning'er said: "That time, I helped a lot, not only Brother Liang Wang, but also the two of you, who also owe me favors." ”
Li Zhi and Cheng Chumo came back for the Spring Festival and were invited to the banquet.
Li Zhi said: "At that time, I was very strange, the sixth brother usually stammered when he memorized a book, but he was so powerful that day, he actually endorsed the book backwards. ”
Li Ning'er said: "It's still me, you didn't hear it at the time, Li You that guy also said that Brother Liang Wang's back was wrong." Or did I stand up and reprimand him? ”
Qibi Wuyun, Narcissus, Sheena and others, they didn't know that Li Su still had such a story back then, and they listened to it with relish one by one.
Li Zhi said: "Sixth brother seems to have suddenly become smarter, can you tell me what's going on?" ”
Cai Sha said: "I was the first to notice the change in the prince. On the day the prince woke up, I wanted to help the prince get dressed, but he didn't let him, and said that he would be a good young man in the Tang Dynasty from now on, but I was scared. ”
Li Su once read an article that said that the more friends a person has, the higher his happiness index. He felt it deeply now.
Li Su was very glad that he did not become a loner like other emperors. He has family, love, and friendship, which did not become indifferent because he became the emperor.
Among all the emperors in history, Genghis Khan is the only one who has not betrayed his subordinates.
Li was proud that he was more fortunate than Genghis Khan, at least he had more friends than him.
The party lasted until late at night, and then ended with joy.
At this moment, on the plateau of northern Tibet, Gao Xianzhi and Xue Rengui met. At this moment, in the valley of the Brahmaputra River, an army of 300,000 Tang Dynasty gathered.
In Gao Xianzhi's headquarters, Xue Rengui announced Li Jing's order to set up an expeditionary force southward corps, with Xue Rengui as the commander-in-chief and Gao Xianzhi as the deputy commander-in-chief.
The main task of the southward corps was to crush the army of the Jieri Kingdom that had entered Tibet, completely block the border between the western part of Tibet and the Jieri Kingdom, and cut off the aid from the southwestern countries of Tibet.
Gao Xianzhi introduced the current situation:
There were 30,000 Tubo troops in the city of Caoze, 200 miles to the southeast of the Tang army, 20,000 troops from the Kingdom of Jieri in Nabucheng, 160 miles to the southwest, and 14,000 troops from the Kingdom of Jieri in Ritu City, 220 miles to the west.
Gao Xianzhi said: "It is not difficult to defeat the armies of these two Ring Kingdom of the Sun, but it is very difficult for us to block the border, the army of the Ring Kingdom has come to help in a big way, and there will be a large-scale battle, and our logistics support may not be able to keep up." ”
Xue Rengui smiled and said something that surprised Gao Xianzhi.
