Chapter 428: Standing and Talking Without Back Pain
Later generations praised Princess Wencheng and pro-Tubo as flowers.
said that Princess Wencheng knew the righteousness of Ming Lixiao, and was willing to go to Tubo with her relatives, married Songtsan Gampo, and said that her relatives made many contributions to the stability of the Tang Frontier, so that the Tubo people how to develop. He also said how happy Princess Wencheng's life in Tubo was, and so on.
But is that the case, bullshit.
Is the stability of the Tang Frontier because of Princess Wencheng's affinity? Definitely not. It was only because the Tang Dynasty was strong enough that Tubo did not provoke lightly.
When the Tang Dynasty had always been in an advantageous position, Tubo behaved very honestly, but when Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty in his later years was the Anshi Rebellion when the Tang Dynasty fell into the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, due to the Tang Dynasty dispatching a large number of troops to deal with the Tubo to quell the chaos, the western defense was empty, and the Tubo immediately seized the opportunity to occupy a large area of Longyou and the Tang Dynasty in Hexi. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Later, the north to Helan Mountain in Ningxia, and the south to Nanzhao were also occupied by Tubo, and finally even the two prefectures of Beiting and Anxi were occupied by Tubo.
When the national strength of Tubo weakened, from prosperity to decline, and could no longer expand outward, Tubo once again asked the Tang Dynasty for peace.
This is Tibet, this is harmony, when you are strong, others are afraid of you and dare not provoke you, when you are weak, what is friendly, what kind of relatives are all left behind.
Let's talk about it, how can Princess Wencheng's life in Tubo be good from the golden branches and jade leaves of the Tang Dynasty to the nomadic and remote land, the language barrier, and the Hu people who are not accustomed to the water and soil.
Let's not say whether Songtsen Gampo is good or bad for Princess Wencheng, just say that Princess Wencheng has been in Tibet for 40 years, and she has been widowed for the last 30 years, you can imagine how miserable a lonely and helpless Han princess lived in Tubo, which is full of barbarians.
Not to mention that it is in a barbarian land like Tubo, even in the Tang Dynasty, a woman without a husband is bullied, how can Princess Wencheng be an exception.
said that her mother's family is very strong, and Datang is very strong, but no matter how strong you are, you can't control Tubo, even if Princess Wencheng is bullied in Tubo, can you still raise troops to give her anger. It's impossible, it can only be said that it is a matter of getting married and obeying the husband.
Therefore, those who said in later generations how great Princess Wencheng was and what contributions she made were all masters who stood and spoke without backache.
Princess Wencheng must have spat on her face in front of her.
And when it comes to Princess Wencheng and her relatives, or when it comes to Tubo courting the Tang Dynasty, you can't fail to mention a person.
If Li Shimin is the culprit who decided the princess and relatives, then this person is the culprit who provoked this matter.
This person is Feng Deyao.
The only thing Feng Deyao has seen in the history books is in the marriage proposal of Songtsen Gampo.
The original history is strikingly similar to Li Shimin's dispatch of Feng Deyao to Tibet this time, both to appease, but the purpose of consolation in the original history is definitely not as clear as it is now.
In other words, in the original history, Feng Deyao went to Tubo as an envoy to comfort him, and it was also the first time that the Tibetan envoy hired the Tang Dynasty.
This Feng Deyao went to Tubo, and he was warmly received by Songtsan Gampo, and the reception was nothing more than eating, drinking barley wine, and watching the Tubo dance danced by the Tubo women.
This is nothing normal entertainment in the officialdom, but if you don't say that Feng Deyao is a woman with a big mouth and a long tongue, after drinking too much, she will talk more, and when the wine is familiar, she will brag about it, how good my Central Plains country is, good no, no, no, no, so that you foreigners are envious. One or two are Mu Huafeng, begging for my Han princess, you see Tuyuhun, Turkic these have taken our princess.
Well, as soon as he said this, Songtsen Gampo remembered that these countries have married Han princesses, so I am young, and the king of such a big country can't help but marry a Han princess.
Yes, I want to marry the princess, and I want to send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to ask for a princess.
Since then, Songtsen Gampo has had a heart to marry a princess.
If you want to say that Songtsen Gampo misunderstood, Feng Deyao is talking about Tuyuhun, the Turks have all married my Han princess, and the Turks and Tuyuhun are both princesses, not married my Tang princess.
Because at this time of the Tang Dynasty, whether it was to the Turks or Tuyuhun, he had never married a princess.
And the princess of the Han family that Feng Deyao said, this range is very wide, and there are many dynasties. He was referring to the recent Sui Dynasty, where Princess Anyi and Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty were married to the Turkic Qimin Khan, and Princess Guanghua was married to King Fu of Tuyuhun.
But Songtsan Ganbu, only two years older than Li Chengqian, at most at this time, he is a little older child, how can he understand this, when the Sui Dynasty was destroyed, he was just a milk baby, and he didn't care about the change of the Central Plains Dynasty.
Moreover, the name of the Central Plains Dynasty in Tibet, which is called by the Tibetan language, is actually translated as the meaning of Han and Central Plains.
That is to say, for the Tubo people, whether it is called the Tang Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, or the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the North and the South, all have the same meaning, and they are all called by one word. Therefore, in their opinion, the princess of the Han family that Feng Deyao said is actually the princess of the Tang family, and the princess of the Tang family is the princess of the Han family.
They equated the princess of the Han family with the princess of the Tang Dynasty.
So, Songtsan Gampo, who realized that Tuyuhun and Turkic could marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and I could also marry it, sent an envoy to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty when Feng Deyao returned, and met Li Shimin to ask for marriage.
Everyone basically knows what happened after that, no matter what happened in the middle, Princess Wencheng finally went to Tubo with her relatives, and then lived a happy (sad) and happy (miserable) life in a foreign country.
Wu Yuanqing never thought that the cause of the incident was different, and the purpose of sending envoys to Tubo to comfort him was also very different, so why did the envoys sent not change at all.
Originally, there was no bloody conflict between the Tubo and Tuyuhun envoys in history, and there was no Chen Bing Tuyuhun border that came much earlier.
Feng Deyao went to Tubo and couldn't change it, Wu Yuanqing only hoped that this guy could keep his mouth shut in this time and space and not be nonsense.
It is estimated that the envoys sent to Tubo to comfort them are only halfway there, and the envoys from Tuyuhun have returned to the Tang Dynasty with the envoys sent by Li Shimin to reprimand.
In the face of Li Shimin's recall, Fu Yun once again refused to claim that he was sick and couldn't come. This guy was thick-skinned, not only refused to come to wipe Li Shimin's face, but also asked the envoy to propose marriage to his son in front of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's lungs were about to explode at that time, but maybe it was out of the intention of confusing the Tuyuhun people, or he had other ideas, and finally he agreed to the proposal of the Tuyuhun envoy.
It's just that the conditions for agreeing to the marriage proposal are very simple, let the king come to marry in person.
