Songtsan Gampo and Datang are close to each other, how could Zhu Dan and Qili Xu not know, they glanced at each other, their faces showed joy, this is indeed a good idea, if this thing can really be done, then the crisis in Tibet will be resolved for the most part.

Looking at Zhu Dan and Qi Li Xu, Princess Taiping couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

To be honest, Princess Taiping was actually very disgusted and kissed in her heart, because she had encountered such a thing when she was young.

When Gaozong was in power, Tubo asked for peace with the Tang Dynasty. Gaozong has three daughters, the first two have been married, and only the youngest daughter, Princess Taiping, is twelve or thirteen years old, according to the standards of the Tang Dynasty, she has reached the age of marriage. The Tubo people had already figured out the situation in advance, and their tone was very loud, and they asked Princess Taiping and their relatives when they opened their mouths. At this time, Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian were in trouble. It stands to reason that it is a good thing to be friendly, the frontier can be peaceful, and the warriors can go home, which is what everyone wants to see. But Tubo is too far away, how could Wu Zetian be willing to let his only biological daughter marry so far away? But it's not good for the Tibetan side to refuse directly, what should I do? When Princess Taiping was a child, didn't she be a female Taoist priest with half-truths? Just let her officially enter the Tao. Taoism advocates religious celibacy, and female Taoists should not be required to marry. So Wu Zetian ordered to immediately build a Taoist temple for Princess Taiping, called Taiping Temple, and let her move in. So the teenage Xiao Taiping became a god, and fulfilled the ordination ceremony decently and became a monk. In this way, Tubo has nothing to say, and the matter of harmony is no longer mentioned. Of course, after Tubo died, Princess Taiping returned to the vulgar.

It is precisely because of such an experience that Princess Taiping is extremely disgusted with the Tubo people or for her relatives, and if it were not for her own goals, she would not have dealt with the Tubo people.

Knowing the intentions of Princess Taiping, the ruler with Zhu Dan and Qi Li Xu had a bottom in their hearts, and the ruler with Zhu Dan glanced at Qi Li Xu, Qi Li Xu comprehended, and he respectfully asked Princess Taiping for advice: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I don't know which princess we should ask to be close to?" ”

"Of course it's the Yuzhen County Lord!" Princess Taiping blurted out.

"Lord Yuzhen?" Zhu Dan frowned.

At that time, Emperor Taizong married Princess Wencheng to Songtsen Gampo, although Princess Wencheng became the queen of Tubo Zanpu Songtsan Gampo, she was only the daughter of the distant branch of the Tang Dynasty. If Zhu Dan is reconciled with the Tang Dynasty, he doesn't want to marry just a clan girl. Although the county lord of Yuzhen is the daughter of King Xiang and Li Xian's niece, he is not Li Xian's daughter after all.

Thinking of this, Zhu Dan said to Princess Taiping: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I heard that the county lord of Jincheng is the adopted daughter of His Majesty, and Ruo Heqin should also be the county lord of Jincheng, not the county lord of Yuzhen!" ”

Princess Taiping recommended Li Zhiying to the ruler belt Zhudan, in order to break up Zhang Baoer and Li Zhiying, so that Li Longjida would not marry Zhang Baoer. If the ruler took Zhu Dan to Li Xian and proposed to make peace with Li Nunu, wouldn't her calculations be in vain, of course she couldn't let such a thing happen.

Princess Taiping shook her head at the ruler belt Zhu Dan and said, "If you want to make peace with the county lord of Jincheng, this is impossible!" ”

"Why can't it be?" Ruler Belt Zhudan asked puzzled.

"Although the county lord of Jincheng is the adopted daughter of His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely not agree to her if she is his own daughter. If Your Majesty objects, your relationship will be in vain. Therefore, I suggest that you propose to make peace with the county lord of Yuzhen, so that Your Majesty will not object, plus I will help you plan now, and this matter will be done nine times out of ten! ”

Zhu Dan didn't say anything, but Princess Taiping could see that he was not satisfied, she smiled faintly and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are going to Datang this time to form an alliance with Datang, if you still want to pick fat and thin, I'm afraid this alliance will be difficult to say." Whether your face is important, or the national fortune of Tibet, I hope you still think about it carefully! ”

Listening to Princess Taiping's words, Hou Huai'an suddenly got up, pulled the ruler with Zhu Dan to the side, and said something to him, the ruler with Zhu Dan looked very excited, and the two sides seemed to have an argument.

Princess Taiping could see that Hou Huai'an was trying her best to persuade the ruler to take Zhudan. Princess Taiping looked at the two of them leisurely, and she followed the mirror in her heart, and the current situation in Tubo decided that they had no way to refuse their proposal.

Sure enough, the conversation between the two finally stopped, and Hou Huai'an said to Princess Taiping: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Her Royal Highness the Prince has agreed to make peace with the Lord of Yuzhen, and tomorrow I will submit the letter of marriage to the Ministry of Rites, hoping that Her Royal Highness the Princess will help us mediate, and Tubo will thank you for your great kindness!" ”

Princess Taiping glanced at the dejected ruler with Zhu Dan, stood up and nodded to Hou Huai'an and said, "I know that His Royal Highness the Prince is a person who understands the general situation, well, this matter is settled, I will leave first, you just wait to hear the good news!" ”

……

The ruler belt Zhu Dan handed over the letter of state to the Ministry of Rites early the next morning, the Ministry of Rites waiter Wang You saw the letter of state of Tubo and was stunned, he remembered that yesterday Princess Taiping suddenly summoned himself, only to ask about the matter of marriage, today the Tibetan envoy handed over the letter of state, but it is involved in the struggle for power, thinking of this he couldn't help but tremble, and secretly said in his heart: I will never mix this matter.

Therefore, Wang You presented the credentials submitted by Tubo to the Ministry of Rites and asked him to come up with ideas.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu is in a high position, and he can stand in the imperial court for so many years without falling, so he naturally has his superiority, he immediately sniffed out the unusualness in this, and without thinking about it, he ordered Wang You to present the national letter directly to His Majesty, so that His Majesty could get the idea.

It stands to reason that any important affairs of the six ministries should be submitted to the government hall first, and the prime ministers should discuss and then report to His Majesty. But the matter of harmony involves the royal family, and it is not wrong to present it directly to His Majesty. In desperation, Wang You had no choice but to enter the palace to ask to see His Majesty, and handed over the Tubo State Letter directly to Li Xian.

Li Xian received the letter of state, and he was also a little dumbfounded, it was the first time he had encountered such a thing since he became the emperor. After thinking about it for a long time, Li Xian didn't come up with a reason, and finally had to ask Yang Siqiao to invite Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er won Li Xian's trust, and after Li Xian became the emperor, he not only worshiped Shangguan Wan'er as Zhaorong and named his mother Zheng as Mrs. Peiguo, but also ordered Shangguan Wan'er to be in charge of drafting edicts, assisting him in handling the Baisi Concert and participating in government affairs. Now, Li Xian has encountered a tricky matter, and the first thing that comes to mind is naturally Shangguan Wan'er.

It didn't take long for Shangguan Wan'er to enter the palace, and when she saw Shangguan Wan'er, Li Xian hurriedly handed the Tubo State Book to Wan'er and said, "Concubine Ai, you take a look at this first!" ”
