Li Zhi asked strangely, "What's wrong with a few of you?" ”

Xiao Wu has been very fond of this little daughter since she was a child, and it is normal for her to lose her temper. But why did Liu Renliang, Pei Xingjian and Di Renjie also lose their temper?

The Tibetans were not excessive. That is gentle and elegant, not serious, but her own daughter, it is reasonable for Tubo to want to ask for marriage. No, Yicheng, the little queen mother has more right to speak. My daughter has also reached the age of waiting, and it is normal for a family to adopt a daughter from a hundred families. It's a big deal to disagree.

Of course, none of these people could answer the real reason.

However, it is also a very person, first of all, Pei Xingjian was the first to wake up, and squeezed Li Wei with a look.

Don't take it seriously.

Hu people do not abide by the Central Plains etiquette system, sometimes marriage likes Hu Lai, but the Lu family has liked Han culture since childhood, this etiquette is still known, and relatives can be, but not with the little princess, what kind of concubines are these two?

To say this is to advance and retreat. Just like doing business, the price is high first, so that there is room for counteroffer.

Li Wei also gradually came back to his senses, still angry in his heart, and said: "Nonsense, nonsense!" You guys, don't say anything else, there will be eight ......"

endured it and didn't report the age of the Lu family, not only to increase the possibility of courtship, but also to have the intention of being afraid that his father would have some cranky thoughts. Oh, Tubo Zampu is young, only two or three years old, and he is just a big soldier. It's hard to say, including the Dongyan riots, my father has already begun to point fingers.

Suddenly, he had an idea and said: "It's not a coincidence, a few days ago, in order to repay her father's vows, the little princess became a woman and became a woman, called Taiping. Let me ...... you down."

Li Zhi nodded, his son's trick is good, it is inappropriate to refuse directly, but after leaving home, this family business will definitely not be achieved, and he doesn't want his most beloved daughter to marry to Tubo to suffer. His Majesty said: "Exactly." Although your queen mother is well-intentioned, she is a step late. ”

The hand dragged back, through the curtain, and pinched Wu Zetian's leg, Wu Zetian understood, and whispered twice to the eunuch next to him, and the eunuch immediately went down, the son said so, but it is very easy to check, saying that the family is the Tao, there must be a Taoist temple. Therefore, it has to be arranged immediately, and it is a foregone conclusion, and the Tubo people have nothing to complain about.

After this pause, Li Wei's anger gradually subsided.

And then I saw this mess of life......

I can't help but see the meeting with the Wulu clan again and again. In Yaozhou, he was still very young, and his wisdom had not grown, and that day he stood under the camellia and said something that made him feel very funny in his heart. The second time was in Chang'an, and we met again. Growing up a little, there are still many deficiencies, and if she is replaced by the current Wulu clan, maybe she will get her wish and cooperate with the Tang Dynasty that time. Later, when he arrived in Qinghai, his wisdom was not much better than his own, and he might even be surpassed.

Maybe now it's a step up again.

I couldn't help but think of the picture outside Mado City, in the dim moonlight, she tied the red extreme wind to herself.

I don't know what she has become in Luoqi City, whether she will be a friend or an enemy in the future, it is difficult to distinguish, and she actually has a pull.

But it's better to be better with the Wulu family, or better with the mother, the biggest benefit is that you can learn a lot from them...... For example, this time, there is no Lu clan's speculation on everyone's psychology.

Just thinking about it, he said again: "If the little princess is a monk, can you choose another one, princess." ”

It's a retreat. Your own daughter is reluctant, you may choose one of the children of the clan, just like Princess Wencheng, and become a family, so the ministers and nobles of the Wulu clan and the pro-Tang family also have the right to speak.

This is probably what the Wulu clan wants the most, and many arrangements have been made, but Li Wei will not agree. It is true that the Wulu family likes the Han culture, but in the end, she is the little princess of the sheep and the Lubu, and she likes not to be proficient, so that her son and the little sister will marry, and she will not come nonsense. But the latter will not have such scruples.

But doesn't it work? The Tang Dynasty clearly stipulated that the same surname could not be married, and this same surname was not necessarily all surnamed Li, and the Li family in Longxi, the Li family in Zhaozhou and the royal family were not the same surname. But that's it, I usually have some scruples, just like the daughters of Tang Gaozu, some are married to the Cui family, some are married to the Zheng family, and some are married to the Pei family, but are there any princesses who marry two Li families?

Unless the identity of the son of the Wulu family is kept secret forever, once it is revealed, where will the royal face be?

Immediately interrupted the words of the critic and said: "You Zampu are young, and it is too early to talk about marriage. But this time you have come with sincerity, and I applaud you as well. In a few days, we will discuss and select an envoy to go to the city of Luo to mourn for you, and we will bring 100,000 volumes of Buddhist scriptures to show that your Queen Mother of Tibet will promote the good intentions of Buddhism. Not only that, since your queen mother likes Han culture, she also published 10,000 copies of "Analects", "Book of Rites", "Book of Songs", "Mencius", "Zhou Li", "Etiquette", "Zilin" and "Laozi", and presented them to you in Tibet. At the same time, 5,000 gold was allocated from the national treasury to build temples and promote Buddhism. as well as some cloth silk porcelain tea. As for the ...... of harmony, Li Wei is very opposed to harmony, but this time the nature is different, it is his own son, as a father, he must also take care of it."

Besides, he still has a dream in his heart, to see if he can use some means to bring the mother and son to live in Chang'an after killing the Gar family. I can also reunite as a family. Even if you can't, you have to dilute Zampu's bloodline step by step.

So he said: "In a few years, when he is a little older, I will choose a princess with outstanding appearance and virtuous character to make peace with you." But not now, it's too young, I'm afraid there will be criticism. ”

can only learn from Wang Zhaojun, and then pick a good woman with a different surname to come out and pretend to be a princess to marry.

"......"

"I don't know how to talk, as for what the reason, I will write a letter to explain to your queen mother, don't say much."

"Yes......" had to be answered. It was not as good as I imagined, but I got so many books, some gold silk, and at the same time sent an envoy to Tibet to mourn and celebrate, and there was a promise of peace in the future, which was better than the worst I expected.

"You have come from a long distance, and it is very hard, so go down and rest first."

"Huh."

Maybe he didn't respect Li Zhi, but he was a little chilly to Li Wei, and immediately retreated.

Guo Zhengyi: "Your Majesty, it seems that there is no need to ......"

Li Wei just looked at him, without even an explanation. He didn't come so far to show his goodwill, he didn't talk about the Western Regions and Qinghai, he didn't immediately promise peace, and if he didn't pay heavy profits, he couldn't explain to Tubo.

There is a deeper reason, Li Wei did not say. Driven by the Qinling Tomb, the Tubo people became a peaceful atmosphere of martial arts, so the soldiers were fierce. So he took out a huge sum of money, repaired temples, and sent books. At this time, the cost of the book has dropped, but it is still a copper movable type cast from the small tips written by a brush, and there are not many words printed on a piece of paper. The cost of paper ink is also higher than that of later generations, and there are also typesetting methods behind the nose, such as a thin booklet of the Analects, which can be bought for ten yuan in later generations. But at this time, there is no forty or fifty pennies that cannot be taken down. It can only be said that it is much cheaper than the original engraving printing and manual copying.

So many books are also a lot of money.

But what kind of book? They are all Confucian books of reasoning, benevolence, moderation, filial piety, loyalty, and friendship, which happen to be in conflict with the habits of Tibet, coupled with the Buddhist inaction and the brainwashing of karma, what impact will it have on Tibet? See, the Tang Dynasty spent a lot of money in order to repay the Wulu clan. But in this era, how many people can see the brainwashing effect of culture on a nation? Even if such a far-sighted person sees it, what evidence is there to prove it?

Moreover, Li Wei was very careful, the "Book of Changes", which contains the dialectical view of vitexin, and the "Spring and Autumn", which talks about the rise and fall, are not among these books.

Li Zhi didn't see it either, and said, "That's it." ”

Spent some money to buy an an. Otherwise, if the Tang Dynasty fights on both sides, it will not be beneficial to the people of the country, and in addition, let the Zampu party system grow, it seems that Tubo can form a constraint, which will be beneficial and harmless to the Tang Dynasty, and that's all I can think of.

"Big brother, why am I a monk?" Li Lingyue asked angrily.

You were going to become a monk, but I just restored the history. It was inconvenient to explain, so he touched her little head and said, "Little sister, that's fake." If you leave a home temporarily, you should open an outer hall for you. When the matter is over, let your father find a good family for you, and you will also get married. ”

"I can't get married."

"It's nonsense, when a girl grows up, she will eventually get married."

"It's good to marry, but at least you have to have the talent of a big brother, both civil and military. It's really not good, it's okay to have a talented young talent like Pei Shilang. ”

Yang Min and the others just laughed. Like the emperor, where to find it?

Li Wei didn't laugh, but was stunned.

I used to think that it was small, and I neglected it. This little sister likes it, but it seems to have a brother-in-law complex. Well, it's a bit troublesome, to be both civil and military, and to have particularly good sleeves, it seems that I haven't encountered it yet. Maybe there is, but it's not ugly and handsome, you can see it at a glance. You have to have a growth process, and you have to have a considerable family background to be worthy of your little sister, where to find it?

I had to say, "What talent do I have?" text, only occasionally wrote a few good words. People who write good poetry are talented? Why are the four heroes rumored outside, the father, the queen mother, and me not reused? Martial arts, on the battlefield, real swords and guns, I can beat a few people. As for Wu Luo, that was the result of me using a few tiger generals, and most of them were making ideas. It's just that I'm the crown prince, and the brilliance covers them...... The common people are rumoring, but you are the most noble princess of the royal family, can you believe it? "Big brother, it's hypocrisy."

"Don't fight, I want you to like it when the time comes." Li Wei didn't want to go on on this topic.

used the means of harmony to coax Li Lingyue back.

Yang Min said: "Your Majesty, you are too spoiled to be a little princess. ”

"It's not that you're in trouble......," Li Wei said with a headache.

As he was talking, the eunuch outside came in to report that he was begging to see him.

"Let him in."

Brought Qi Lixu in and let Wan'er and them go down. This time Wan'er finally felt a little weird, no, no matter what happened in the past, the emperor didn't shy away from listening to himself, but Tubo negotiated peace, why did he let himself go out every time? Of course, she would not believe that His Majesty would betray the country, but she felt that something was wrong. I didn't dare to ask, and retreated.

After seeing it very dissatisfied, Qili Xu asked, "Your Majesty, why is it not allowed for the Queen Mother to come to make peace?" ”

I don't know the truth, and I think I'm very satisfied. But Kilixu is not satisfied, although it is our new Zampu in Tibet, it is also your own son. For that alone, you have to agree and kiss.

Li Wei was not angry, the Central Plains people were gradually civilized, and there were very few cases of chaos like Zoroastrians, or Japanese people, or Turkic people. Just like his father, his mother is only a talented son of Taizong, not his biological mother, otherwise he would not have done it. However, there are many tribes around that are very backward, and they can even do anything for the sake of blood............"

Even if the Lu family really wants to ask his little sister to be his daughter-in-law, don't make a fuss in this sad era. Many backward tribes have done just that.

said: "In Shangyang Palace, I have something that I haven't said, and this is also for your queen mother, and Zampu." Otherwise, we Datang really need to make peace with you Tubo? At least I have the means of ten peace, weaken your Tubo within a few decades, and then divide it step by step, and then let the Su ...... and Zhangxiong tribes completely divide your Tubo. For the sake of your Tibetan Empress Dowager and Zampu, I have made many concessions. If you don't believe it, you Tubo troops will try it. Yes, there was an Eastern Turkic rebellion in the north of our Tang Dynasty, and the Western Turks may not be stable. Even if you negotiate peace, you will continue to send people to instigate them to rebel. But do you Tibetans have the ability to draw out a large army and cooperate with them this year? Can you pull out supplies and prepare for a fierce battle? ”

It's not as easy to say either.

But Qinghai fought a battle, gained the upper hand, and had the confidence to speak. It's kind of intimidation.

He also said: "If it is your Tibetan bloodline, I don't care, but you Zampu have me...... It must be done in accordance with the etiquette of the Central Plains. He was only three years old. Still young, busy with what kind of relatives? If you ask for a kiss in Tibet, if you don't ask for it, I will also arrange for him to find a woman from a good family. But what do you want? It has to be the princess and the county lord, yes, but have you ever thought that this is the same surname and the same bloodline. In case it is leaked, how will the history books evaluate me and your queen mother? Besides, being friendly is just a gesture. When Princess Wencheng married into such a bitter place in your Tubo, what did you do in Tubo? What did Zampu say about welcoming Baihai, really? What did you say about building the Potala Palace for Princess Wencheng, really? (I took a look at my nephew's textbook, and actually compiled this legend in the textbook as a historical fact, very speechless) Our Tang Dynasty not only married a daughter, but also gave you how much dowry, wealth, and craftsmen in Tubo. However, you Tubo have received such great benefits, how can you repay our Tang Dynasty? Negotiate peace, do you have to be close? It is just a form of expression of friendship between the two countries. Your queen mother is not asking for harmony, but for this and form. Do you understand? Did I give you this form? ”

"That, that......"

"No need for that, since your queen mother sent you here, she is also her confidant. Her wisdom is beyond your imagination. I will help her consolidate her power and bring down the Gar family. Zampu's family affairs, I am ten times more cautious than you, the woman of the clan can't, but I will find the best good family for him. However, he is still young, and he will discuss the matter in a few years. ”

As he was talking, Shangyang Palace sent someone over to invite Li Wei to Shangyang Palace.

I don't know what happened, let Qili Xu go back to the Sifang Pavilion. When I came to Shangyang Palace, I knew that a very bad thing had happened in Shangyang Palace.

The members of the envoy group from Tibet were complicated, including people from the Lu clan and people from the Qin Tomb, who were nominally protected, but in fact they were a kind of supervision. Including the deputy envoy Du Tingsong, he was also a close confidant sent by the Qinling. This line of work came with the mentality of watching jokes. But I didn't expect that this time the envoy discussed it, and it was really discussed. Although the Tang Dynasty dragged Heqin down, it showed great goodwill. I was very unhappy in my heart, and I couldn't have a seizure. So at the time of the banquet, he proposed to compare polo with the Tang Dynasty.

Polo originated in the Han Dynasty and became powerful in the Tang Dynasty, from the court nobles to the chalk team, all loved this activity. Among Li Wei's four brothers, Li Xian was the favorite, and Li Wei also occasionally participated. Li Zhi has always been in poor health, and he often watches the polo matches of the Yulin Army, and even personally rewards the winners.

The other is Keju, which is similar to football, which is also popular with activities, which is kicked with feet, and each side has two goals, and the rules are very different from later football.

Li Zhi didn't think of anything else, entertainment activities, so he agreed.

As a result of the development of the memory, it is no longer an entertainment activity.

After the polo spread to the West, there were gradually many measures to protect the players, and the Tang Dynasty also had them, such as the punishment according to the right to attack, the player could not intentionally hit another player and his mount with the club, and was only allowed to hold the club in his right hand. A foul, or a man falls, or a Marken breaks, the player's helmet falls, the ball rolls out of bounds, and the referee can call a timeout. But as in later generations, players change horses and equipment during the game, and the game is played in the same way.

But there are many differences. For example, there are sometimes as many as 20 contestants, 10 people per side, which is more than the number of contestants in later generations, and it is more impressive, of course, there are more people, and the danger is also increased. The rules are also very loose, unlike later generations, in order to protect the player and the horse, many rules are restricted, such as the point of contact between the horse and the hip and shoulder, otherwise it will be a violation. Not yet.

in order to

So let this game be covered with a layer of blood.

times

The Tubo guards who came over this time stepped over the excellent horses, and also benefited from ruling Tuyuhun for many years, and obtained a large number of excellent war horses. The guards are also very fierce. However, it was polo, not a battle, and it didn't take long for the game to let the Tang Dynasty Yulin Army score a goal with the Glaive Staff.

That's when the situation suddenly changed. The ten horsemen of Tubo began to deliberately turn their horses and collided with the war horses of the horse players of the Tang Dynasty. In the high-speed chalk, most of the people rolled over in this collision. In the past, polo matches in the Tang Dynasty would also occur, and in this situation, the players deliberately turned the horses out of the way, stopped the game, and helped the horses up to see if the players were injured. But after Du Yansong's malicious authorization, the nature has changed.

I didn't think of it, Tubo was bent on negotiating peace, and winning or losing the game may be related to face, but it won't be too bad. But something terrible happened. The linesman saw that the Tang Dynasty player had been knocked over, so he called a stop. also stopped, but deliberately turned the horse and trampled on the body of the Tang Dynasty player!

In fact, horses are higher animals, and they also have their spirituality. After getting along with people for a long time, knowing that humans are its partners, unless it is a big battlefield and all the situation is out of control, when you see someone lying on the ground, you generally take the initiative to raise your hooves and jump over (Lao Wu once had such a personal experience). But it eventually took away from animals, and the Tibetan people did it intentionally. After a while, danger arose, and a Tang Dynasty player was finally trampled on the stomach by a horse's hooves. The bloody belly of a place......

Many of them immediately screamed and vomited.

Li Zhi frowned.

If you don't understand military affairs, you can still see this situation. After hesitating for a moment, seeing that the Tubo people were fierce, the Yulin army of the Tang Dynasty was in good shape, after all, they were used to being pampered, maybe they played polo well, but how many people had the soldiers deliberately selected by Tubo to be fierce? Let Tubo break two balls in a row.

Li Zhi stopped the game and reprimanded the leader Du Yansong.

Du Yansong replied calmly: "Emperor Taishang, Tubo is all competing like this, although it is entertainment, it is also a way to train the army. This kind of competition can train soldiers to know how to reasonably collide and avoid in the real battlefield. Playing polo like the Tang Dynasty, we Tubo people don't. ”

It means that the polo of your Tang Dynasty people is not a man's chalk, but a woman's chalk, and a thing of pleasure for the children of the concubines.

Li Zhi was speechless, Wu Zetian sat on the side, stabbed the eunuch beside him, and asked him to call Li Wei to the East Palace. It's not good to compare again, and if you compare again, you will lose again, and you will be embarrassed again.

Li Wei listened to the situation and looked at this Du Yansong, who was in his thirties, very burly, with a big fat face that was swarthy, and a beard growing underneath, very fierce. Looking at the polo players on the sidelines again, the players in the Tang Dynasty were very depressed, is this playing ball, or playing with their lives? I don't understand. The players on the Tibetan side were as if nothing had happened, and even chatted happily

Li Wei said: "Du Yansong, we Central Plains people have a saying, call guests as they please.

But considering that you have come from afar, in order to test respect, I will compare according to the rules you say. ”

Li Zhi was stunned.

Li Wei continued: "Not only should it be compared, but the weather is fine, in order to let more people see, there is a large chalk field in the south of Tianjin Qiaonan, which can be used as a court, you might as well go to which open space to play, so that more people in Luoyang can see the skills of your Tubo warriors, how about it?" ”

"Okay."

When the group left Shangyang Palace, Li Wei whispered a few words to a guard beside him. The guards left and came to Qiaonan, Tianjin, where they heard that the two countries were playing polo openly in public. It happened that the weather was cold and there were few affairs, and many people came at once.

When the monarch and the players all arrived, Li Wei waved his hand again and said, "Wait a minute, father, let the sons pick some players to come over." ”

I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in my son's gourd, and Li Zhi also acquiesces.

After a while, more than a dozen guards were brought over.

Looking at these people, everyone knows that Li Wei brought them from Qinghai, leaving a total of more than 200 people. I usually play polo, but my skills are rough. However, Li Wei didn't want ball skills, and said solemnly: "Back then, at the foot of Jishi Mountain, I had a chance to escape, but why didn't I escape?" ”

"Your Majesty can't bear to leave the soldiers ......behind," replied Hu Kuntang, the schoolhouse.

"Yes and no. Throughout the past thousands of years, our Tang Dynasty has the most extensive territory, and its cultural and martial arts have been rare in previous dynasties. Why did Hu Ying send an envoy to the West, so far away, as soon as he heard that it was our envoys from the Tang Dynasty who arrived, they all asked to follow him and pay homage to our Tang people? This is one and glory. Even if I die in battle, I will die standing instead of being a turtle with a shrunken head and living on my knees. Glory is my life! ”

"Glory is my life!" More than a dozen people beat their chests with their fists in unison and replied enthusiastically.

"Go, let this talk about the Tubo people, let us Luoyang's folks and elders, let the Empress Dowager, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, see how you defend the glory of our Tang Dynasty!"

"Huh." More than a dozen guards replied in unison and walked into the middle of the field...... (To be continued.)
