Shangguan Wan'er didn't know what Li Xian meant by summoning herself into the palace, she took the letter of state, and after a few glances, she understood. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, a face involuntarily flashed in Shangguan Wan'er's mind, it was Princess Taiping's charming face with a slight coldness.

Shangguan Wan'er immediately made her own judgment: That's right, this matter must be the masterpiece of Princess Taiping, Empress Wei doesn't have such a deep scheming, and it won't do her any benefit to do so.

However, what is the purpose of Princess Taiping's doing?

Shangguan Wan'er's face did not change at all, her eyes were still looking at the national letter, as if she was reading it seriously, but her brain was running rapidly.

It must be because of Zhang Bao'er, Shangguan Wan'er is worthy of the title of "women's prime minister", and she figured out the joint in a moment: Princess Taiping was very jealous of Zhang Bao'er, she didn't want Zhang Bao'er and Li Zhiying to marry, and was afraid that Li Longji would benefit from it, so she would encourage the Tubo people to ask Li Zhiying for marriage, completely breaking the thoughts of Zhang Baoer and Li Longji.

After thinking about the reason, Shangguan Wan'er raised her head.

"Wan'er, tell me, what should I do about this?" Li Xian asked.

"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks this is a good thing!" Shangguan Wan'er smiled faintly.

"How?"

"The Tang Dynasty and Tubo have been at war for many years, both the court and the people hope to calm the war and recuperate. Therefore, this harmony is at least a great thing for Datang! ”

Li Xian couldn't help but nod when he heard this, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he still understood this truth.

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Li Xian and said casually: "However, Your Majesty still has to be cautious about this matter!" ”

"Be cautious?" Li Xian was puzzled: "Wan'er, what do you mean by this!" ”

"The concubine heard that King Xiang has already intended to marry the county lord of Yuzhen to Zhang Bao'er!"

Li Xian was taken aback: "What? Is there such a thing? ”

Shangguan Wan'er continued: "As far as the concubine knows, Zhang Bao'er and His Majesty are also ministers and friends, loyal to Your Majesty, and if Your Majesty has any problems, Zhang Bao'er will consider them for Your Majesty and try her best to help Your Majesty solve them, and Your Majesty is also very dependent on him." But now, the king of Xiang promised to marry first, and Tubo proposed to be in the second, Zhang Bao'er and the county lord of Yuzhen are in love, if His Majesty does not consider Zhang Bao'er's feelings, and marries the county lord of Yuzhen to the Tubo people, I am afraid it will not be reasonable, at least I can't explain it to Zhang Bao'er. Therefore, the concubine thinks that this matter should be cautious! ”

This is where Shangguan Wan'er is smart, she first affirmed that it is a good thing to be close to her, and then said the relationship between Zhang Baoer and Li Zhiying. She knew that Li Xian was a person who valued feelings, and using the relationship between Zhang Baoer and Li Xian to persuade Li Xian was a magic weapon that was tried and tested.

Sure enough, Li Xian listened to Shangguan Wan'er's words, and said with a slight bow: "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about Bao'er and Ying'er, since this is the case, I really have to be cautious about this matter!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er said to Li Xian: "Your Majesty, it is clearly written in the national document of Tubo, let us reply within five days, and we will marry the county lord and return to Tubo within ten days, there is still some time, Your Majesty has time to think about it!" ”

came out of the palace, Shangguan Wan'er immediately returned to the house, asked someone to call Cui Xiang, and told him about Tubo's submission of credentials.

Of course, Shangguan Wan'er did not tell Cui Yu about her guess, after all, Princess Taiping's participation in this matter was only her own analysis, and there was no evidence.

Cui Xiang was also secretly surprised when he heard this, he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly came to find Zhang Bao'er.

"What? It's true? Zhang Baoer and Wei Xianyun were also taken aback when they heard the news.

"That's right, Bao'er, you have to be prepared to deal with it, I still have something to do, so I'll go first!" Cui Xiang hurriedly said.

After sending Cui Xiang away, Zhang Bao'er looked annoyed, got up and paced, and asked for a long time: "Sir, how can this be?" ”

"I think there's something wrong with this!" Wei Xianyun said categorically.

"What's wrong, sir, hurry up and talk about it!" Zhang Baoer stopped.

It stands to reason that the Tibetan envoy should have mentioned this matter when he first arrived in Chang'an to submit his credentials, but in these days, no one has heard of it. Listening to Cui Shilang, His Majesty also knew about this, what does this mean? ”

Zhang Bao'er's heart moved: "Sir, do you mean that the Tubo people are temporary?" ”

"That's right, they are improvised, not only temporary, but also against you, Bao'er!"

"Against me?" Zhang Bao'er seemed to understand a little, and he said to himself: "Didn't someone say something to the Tubo people? ”

"Harmony is not something that only happened to my Tang Dynasty, it was there as early as the Han Dynasty. Generally speaking, the party who asks for harmony only needs to make a request for harmony, and as for the identity of the princess and the princess, it is decided by the other party through consultation, and there is rarely a reason to designate which princess and princess is the princess when making peace. Speaking of this, Wei Xianyun glanced at Zhang Bao'er: "Harmony is actually a way to form an alliance between countries, even if the Tubo people want to form an alliance more stable and designate a candidate for harmony, then they should also designate the county lord of Jincheng, not the county lord of Yuzhen." Because the county lord of Jincheng is the adopted daughter of His Majesty, and the county lord of Yuzhen is only the niece of His Majesty, in terms of identity, the county lord of Jincheng is more noble than the county lord of Yuzhen, but they don't mention the county lord of Jincheng, but they want to mention the county lord of Yuzhen. So, there's definitely something wrong with that! ”

"Who did that?" Zhang Bao'er began to pace again, asking as she walked, "Could it be Empress Wei?" ”

"I don't think so!" Wei Xianyun shook his head.

"Could it be Princess Taiping?"

Wei Xianyun sighed: "Now there is no evidence, everything we can only guess!" ”

"Evidence?" Zhang Bao'er stopped again, and he suddenly shouted outside the door: "Uncle Hua, Uncle Hua!" ”

Uncle Hua hurriedly ran into the house, looked at the angry Zhang Bao'er in surprise, he rarely saw Zhang Bao'er's appearance, he didn't know what was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what's wrong?" ”

"You go to Gu'er immediately, and ask him to find out who has gone to the Sifang Pavilion to see the Tubo people in the past two days, no matter what method he uses, in short, no one who has passed through the Sifang Pavilion can be left behind, and reply to me in the shortest possible time!"

"Got it, uncle!" Uncle Hua didn't ask why, and turned around directly.

After Uncle Hua left, Zhang Bao'er sat down, picked up the tea bowl and drank two sips, still feeling restless, he couldn't help but ask Wei Xianyun, "Sir, what should we do now?" ”

Wei Xianyun said lightly: "I can't do anything, I can only wait!" ”
