"She agreed?" Zhang Baoer's eyes were full of longing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wei Xianyun told Zhang Bao'er about his meeting with Princess Taiping, and after speaking, he was a little worried: "Bao'er, Princess Taiping is extremely powerful, and she is ruthless and unscrupulous in her actions, I am afraid that my decision today will affect you in the future!" ”
Zhang Bao'er patted Wei Xianyun's shoulder and said proudly: "What is not involved, thanks to Mr. can afford it, I don't want the glory and wealth in my hands, but I am willing to follow me, when else can I say?" Princess Taiping is right, I was originally born in a gangster, and I don't know a single big character, if I can have a husband to help me move forward, even if I confess in this Chang'an City, I have no regrets! ”
Wei Xianyun's eyes moistened, he knew that his decision was right, if it weren't for Zhang Bao'er's affection and righteousness, how could he fight with his life not to fall out with Princess Taiping.
"Besides, who will have the last laugh in the future is not certain!" Zhang Baoer said coldly: "With her shameless approach, she won't be able to become a climate, even if she is willing to cut her body, I will pull her off the horse!" Sir, we are barefoot, she wears shoes, I will let her know that we are not easy to mess with, do you believe me? ”
Wei Xianyun nodded and said, "I believe in you, and I believe in you in this life, just like you believe in me!" ”
Zhang Baoer stretched out her hand, and her two hands were tightly clasped together.
"By the way, Bao'er, when you see Your Majesty, what did Your Majesty say?" Wei Xianyun asked.
"Your Majesty also wants to help me, but this is a major matter that must be decided by the court, Your Majesty said that as long as I can convince the courtiers, I will not let Yingying marry to Tubo!"
"I see this thing!" Wei Xianyun pondered: "The last time you were able to refute Zong Chuke to the fullest, on the one hand, it was because you were reasonable, and on the other hand, because those henchmen of Princess Taiping were also helping you. But this time is different, after all, your relationship with Princess Yuzhen has been made public, you don't have enough confidence to speak, and Princess Taiping is determined to destroy your marriage with Princess Yuzhen this time, so you have to have a bottom in your heart! ”
Wei Xianyun told Zhang Bao'er about his encounter with Wang Hufeng in Princess Taiping's mansion, Zhang Bao'er nodded and said: "I know this matter is difficult, but I will do my best, even if the court really decides on this matter, I will think of another way, in short, I will not accept my fate, and I will not let them succeed!" ”
……
On the second day after receiving the letter of state from Tubo, Li Xian specially convened a temporary court meeting to discuss the matter of peace and affinity.
The news that Tubo submitted its credentials to ask for peace has long been spread in Chang'an City, not only the ministers have long known about it, but even the people have known about it, and it has become a topic of conversation on the streets.
As soon as Li Xian finished talking about the matter, the courtiers were divided into two factions and began to debate.
It is said that there are two factions, but in fact, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides.
On one side were Zhang Bao'er, Cui Xiang, and a few ministers who sympathized with and supported King Xiang, while on the other side were all the courtiers except for a few of them.
"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty has to rely on a weak woman to make friends with foreigners, how despicable and pathetic it is, and you can't get along!"
"Your Majesty, harmony is not a manifestation of weakness and compromise, but a measure of the Tang Dynasty to take the initiative to establish friendly relations with Fanguo, Emperor Taizong married Princess Wencheng to Songtsan Gampo that year, if it weren't for Emperor Taizong's equal emphasis on Fanguo's grace and power, how could he win the title of Heavenly Khan?"
"Your Majesty, Tubo and my Tang Dynasty are feuds, and to promote the prestige of my Tang Dynasty, we should reject the enemy from the country, or expand the territory, instead of going to make peace!"
"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo have been at war for many years, the treasury has been empty, the people are complaining, Lord Zhang opposes peace for his own selfishness, Your Majesty must not be confused by it......"
“……”
With the support of many ministers, Zong Chuke was impassioned and aggressive, and he went toe-to-toe with Zhang Baoer.
Although Zhang Baoer did not show weakness, this time she did not have the scenery of last time, and she was quickly defeated.
Zong Chuke worked so hard, of course, not because he was thinking about the Tang Dynasty, but to save the face he lost in the last confrontation with Zhang Baoer, and more importantly, the 150,000 taels of silver sent by Wang Hufeng played a role. Even if Zong Chuke is not in every possible way, his consciousness of taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others is still quite high.
The ministers who are in favor of harmony are not all because Zong Chuke greeted Princess Taiping, or to oppose Zhang Baoer, many of them are really thinking about Datang, judging from the current situation faced by Datang, harmony is indeed a good choice.
The courtiers' debate was one-sided, which made Li Xian quite helpless, and he set his sights on Li Dan and Princess Taiping.
On weekdays, Li Dan and Princess Taiping generally do not participate, because it involves Li Zhiying, the lord of Yuzhen, so Li Xian specially invited the two of them.
Li Xian first asked Li Dan, who lowered his head: "Brother Huang, what should you do if you look at this matter?" ”
Among several children, Li Dan's favorite is Li Zhiying, how could he be willing to let his beloved daughter marry to a bitter cold place thousands of miles away to get married? But he is also a descendant of the Li family, in front of so many court ministers, Li Dan can't say his true thoughts, and he is going crazy from this kind of pain and torture.
After being silent for a long time, Li Dan spit out an ambiguous sentence: "The younger brother has no opinion, it is all up to His Majesty to decide!" ”
Li Xian looked at Princess Taiping again: "Imperial sister, what do you think?" ”
"Ying'er was raised by watching her, and to be honest, I can't bear it!" Princess Taiping first had a compassionate expression, and then said in a changed voice: "But no matter what, she is also a royal bloodline, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, she should go to make peace, I think Ying Ying can understand His Majesty's hard work, and at the same time be able to take on this heavy responsibility!" ”
Hearing Princess Taiping's words, Li Dan raised his head suddenly, stared at Princess Taiping for a while, and then lowered his head.
Li Xian knew that this matter had basically become a foregone conclusion, so he still wanted to fight for Zhang Bao'er for the last chance, so he asked the courtiers again: "Everyone, Aiqing, I wonder if you can follow the example of Princess Wencheng and choose a princess from other clans?" ”
"Your Majesty, by all means!" Zong Chuke spoke again: "If Tubo did not mention the matter of peace with the county lord of Yuzhen in the national letter, it is forgivable to do so. However, the letter of state clearly specifies that he will be reconciled with the lord of Yuzhen, and it will be insincere for us to do this again, and it may also anger Tubo, causing the border to be restless. ”
Li Xian sighed and said, "Let me think about it again, and then we will discuss it tomorrow, and let's stop here today!" ”
