Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Qi Li Xu glanced at the ruler belt bead pill, and the ruler belt bead pill nodded.

Hou Huai'an stepped forward to open the door, and the supervisor of the Sifang Pavilion appeared at the door, and he said to Hou Huai'an very politely: "Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping has come to visit, and I will let the lower officials come to report!" ”

"Princess Taiping?" The ruler belt Zhu Dan and Qi Li Xu were stunned at the same time.

It has been two envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and he also knows a little about the Tang court. He knew that Princess Taiping was the sister of the current Tang Dynasty Emperor, and her influence on the court was no less than that of Empress Wei. However, how could she come to see her at such a late hour?

Zhu Dan couldn't guess the meaning of Princess Taiping, so he decided to meet Princess Taiping first, so he hurriedly said: "How dare you bother Her Royal Highness the Princess, Qi Lixu, hurry up, let's go to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

As soon as the words of the ruler with Zhu Dan fell, Princess Taiping had already arrived at the door, and she smiled and said: "No need to answer, I am uninvited, His Royal Highness the prince is not strange!" ”

Princess Taiping sent the supervisor of the Sifang Pavilion away, let her maids guard the door, and entered the house with Zhu Dan, Qi Lixu, and Hou Huai'an.

After the three of them sat down, they asked tentatively, "I wonder what Her Royal Highness the princess has to say?" ”

Princess Taiping didn't answer, but asked: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince Prince came to form an alliance with my Tang Dynasty on behalf of Tubo?" ”

He didn't know what Princess Taiping meant by asking, but he knew that Princess Taiping must have something to do, so he nodded, but didn't speak.

"I wonder how you're going to form an alliance?" Princess Taiping asked.

Princess Taiping's question made the ruler belt Zhudan confused, although the ruler belt Zhudan is more familiar with the Tang Dynasty culture and customs, but he still has the straightforwardness of the Tubo people in his bones, he didn't want to go around in circles with Princess Taiping anymore, so he asked directly: "I don't know what Her Royal Highness the princess has to say, please speak up!" ”

"I heard that the Tibetan ministers Dairen Banunangzha and Kaigui Duosang rebelled, and the troops stationed on the border between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty have been transferred back to fight a decisive battle with the rebels. At the same time, Tubo's vassal state Nibra also began to rebel when he saw the opportunity, and Tubo faced an unfavorable situation of fighting on both sides! Speaking of this, Princess Taiping smiled faintly and said: "If the Tang Dynasty sends an army to attack Tubo at this time, I don't know how His Royal Highness the Prince feels?" ”

Although the ruler belt bead pill was still calm on the surface, he was shocked inside. What Princess Taiping said is indeed the predicament that Tubo is facing now, these things happened not long ago, and the purpose of his envoy to the Tang Dynasty was to prevent the Tang Dynasty from falling into the ground. It's just that he can't understand how Princess Taiping can know the situation in Tubo so clearly in Chang'an, which is far away from the mountains and rivers of Tubo. Qi Dai Zhudan couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart: the woman in front of him is not simple, and it seems that he has to be careful in dealing with it.

Zhu Dan glanced at Princess Taiping and said, "So the Tang Dynasty is unwilling to form an alliance with Tubo?" ”

Princess Taiping asked rhetorically, "If you were replaced, would you agree to form an alliance with such a good opportunity?" ”

The ruler belt Zhudan was silent, Princess Taiping was right, if she changed herself, she would definitely not agree to form an alliance. His heart suddenly gloomy, it seems that this time the envoy to Datang will not achieve the goal, if Datang takes this opportunity to really attack Tubo, Tubo will be attacked on three sides, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

The changes in Zhu Dan's expression all fell in Princess Taiping's eyes, and a sly smile flashed across her face. Princess Taiping didn't speak, what she wanted was this effect, only to let the ruler take Zhu Dan into despair for a few more times, and then give him a life-saving straw, and he would completely comply.

Hou Huai'an's eyes on the side rolled, he seemed to hear what Princess Taiping said, so he asked tentatively: "I wonder if Her Royal Highness the Princess is willing to help us?" ”

Princess Taiping glanced at him and said slowly: "It's not impossible to help you, but how can you thank me?" ”

When Hou Huai'an heard that there was a play, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly patted his chest and said: "If there is any request for Her Royal Highness the Princess, just put it forward, we will do our best to do it!" ”

Compared with the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo is cold and barren, how can Princess Taiping see their things in her eyes, she said this just to pave the way for what she wants to say next.

Princess Taiping nodded and said: "This matter is up to me, I guarantee that the alliance between Datang and Tubo will be successful this time!" ”

Qi Dai Zhu Dan seemed to be a little unconvinced: "The Tang Dynasty and Tubo have been at war for many years, even if Her Royal Highness the Princess helps, but such a good opportunity is in the eyes, how can the Tang Dynasty and the courtiers let it go?" ”

Princess Taiping said lightly: "It's very simple, because I am very clear about the situation that Tubo is facing now, but His Majesty and the ministers do not know it, so they will definitely agree to form an alliance!" ”

"Huh?" The eyes of the three of them, Zhu Dan, Qi Li Xu and Hou Huai'an, they couldn't understand how such a strange thing could happen.

It was Princess Taiping who uncovered the mystery for them: "The squire of the military department is my person, and I asked him to suppress the palace report on the border first, so Your Majesty and the courtiers will naturally not know!" ”

The three of them suddenly realized, and hurriedly got up and saluted Princess Taiping: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Princess, for your great help!" ”

Princess Taiping waved her hand and said: "This matter can't be suppressed for long, only ten days at most, which means that you must form an alliance with Datang within ten days, if it exceeds ten days, this matter is not easy to say!" ”

Kilixu nodded and said, "Ten days is enough, we will facilitate the alliance as quickly as possible!" ”

Princess Taiping suddenly said: "I have a suggestion, I don't know if you two can listen to it!" ”

Qi Dai Zhudan hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please speak!" ”

Princess Taiping said eloquently: "If you just sign an alliance, this matter is not safe. Afterwards, if the imperial court knows that the situation in Tibet has deteriorated, maybe it will still break the contract and send troops to attack Tibet, so you have to think of a perfect plan! ”

Qi Dai Zhudan also knew that a paper covenant could not be counted at all, he was just delaying the army, and now when he heard Princess Taiping say this, he knew that she already had an idea in her heart.

Zhu Dan said cautiously: "Please give advice to Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

Princess Taiping raised her eyes and said, "Has His Royal Highness forgotten how your great-grandfather Songtsen Gampo formed an alliance with the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"And pro?" Zhu Dan and Qi Li Xu said in unison.

In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Songtsen Gampo sent an envoy to Chang'an, gave more gold treasures, and proposed marriage, but Taizong did not agree. Later, Songtsen Gampo led the Tubo army to attack Songzhou in the Tang Dynasty, and Taizong sent the Shangshu Hou Junji of the Ministry of Officials to be the general manager of the camp of Dangmi Dao, and led 50,000 cavalry to attack it and defeat the Tubo army. Songtsen Gampo was afraid, and led his troops to quit the party, Bailanqiang and sent an envoy to apologize. Because of the remarriage, Taizong allowed it. Songtsen Gampo sent his Xianglu Dongzan to give a gift, offering 5,000 taels of gold, and playing hundreds of things since Yu Bao, Taizong married Princess Wencheng to Songtsan Gampo.
