Like Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng back then, Princess Zhudan and Princess Jincheng are also separated from the main hall on both sides of the copper bridge. However, unlike Princess Wencheng, who was sixteen years old when she entered Tibet, and had studied etiquette and various training in the Tang Palace for several years, and was praised by Taizong Li Shimin, Princess Jincheng was allowed to marry Tubo during the Zhongzong period, and she was only fourteen years old at that time.

Everyone said that she was sent to Shiping by the Zhongzong relatives back then, and said that she was the adopted daughter of the Son of Heaven, but it is conceivable that she also knows that Empress Wei has two daughters in Changning Anle, and there are other high-flying princesses in the palace, what is she a clan daughter? When she was young, she just married to Tibet in a daze. In her opinion, this magnificent but empty hall was not her residence, but her prison!

And now, the hall once again welcomes people from their hometown. That is, after the Tang Dynasty and Tubo gradually became friendly in recent years, such envoys have increased day by day, bringing all kinds of fabrics and all kinds of gadgets that are only in her memory. At this moment, thinking of the embarrassment of Zhu Dan before her, she couldn't help but feel a little happy, and she was naturally kind to Zhang Xing and Feng Changqing, not as alienated as when they first met. As for Li Jingzhong, he has not yet recovered from his illness, even if he does not rely on his own ability to climb the high Potala Palace, but he can't bear it anymore after seeing Zampu just now, and he has no choice but to let people send him back to the post house.

"The envoys from the Tang Dynasty to Tubo, some of them are eloquent, some are impassioned, some are good at bowing and horse martial arts, and some are brilliant in poetry and songs, but you are still the first to make Zampu suddenly so caught off guard." Princess Jincheng looked at Zhang Xing thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "I heard the maid say, you are the famous secretary of Longyouhei?" ”

"It's an honor to have a little fame known to your lord." Zhang Xing owed, and after thinking about the sentence, he said sincerely, "This is to come to Tibet, one is that Your Majesty is planning for your master's heirs, so he sent a famous hand from the Imperial Physician's Department in the palace to come to treat your lord." Second, it was because the commander of Longyou Du heard that Tubo was plotting against Xiao Bolu, so he made me come, hoping to surrender the army without a fight. ”

Envoys have always visited, all of them are superficial, and what they say is how the Son of Heaven is favored, and how the noble lord can promote friendship between the two countries in Tubo, and other real things are gone, if it weren't for the fact that they can talk about the pain of homesickness when they see the clothes of their homeland, plus they can bring their most expected things from their homeland, Princess Jincheng is not even bothering to perfunctory these beautiful people. Therefore, Zhang Xing was so honest with herself, and at the same time as she was surprised, a heart as silent as ashes couldn't help but cause a little ripple, both nervous, touching, and some indescribable joy.

Someone is willing to express sincerity and kindness to her, the vain princess Hefan, and also tell the true purpose of this trip?

And even more shocked was Feng Changqing. If he hadn't been worried that this was in front of the noble princess of Jincheng of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo Zanmeng, his mouth would have almost opened wide to put an egg - this kind of thing is said frankly, and he is not afraid that someone will overhear it and tell him to take Zhu Dan, then all his previous gestures will be in vain?

"I'm not a leaky Tang Palace here, your words will be heard."

Facing Princess Jincheng's answer, Zhang Xing suddenly smiled: "Your lord doesn't need to worry, what I said, there is nothing to hide." Before my trip, the marshal once instructed that the virtual is real, and the real is virtual. Now that the two countries have stopped fighting, it does not mean that the border can really be peaceful for ten thousand years. There should be no slackening in the garrison, so it is urgent to recruit troops to strengthen the defensive line. As for the parade in Hexi and Longyou, actual combat drills will also be added, so that the generals will not forget how to go into battle in comfort! It is best to be able to surrender without a fight, if it is really a war, the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses are not afraid of anyone! ”

"When you say that, I'm relieved." Princess Jincheng finally showed a real smile other than the ceremonial smile she had before, and after bowing her head slightly, she spoke, "As for the heir you said, I have already seen it, and I can't force it. Don't say it's me, the other concubines in the Zampu Palace, no one has heard good news so far. ”

"In that case, please take care of your body." Zhang Xing once again bowed deeply, and when he saw that Princess Jincheng was surprised, he continued, "Your lord should know that after your great-grandmother Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, she did not die until she was fifty out of six directions, even exceeding the holy life of Emperor Taizong, and when she died, the Zampu Songtsen Gampo she married had been dead for thirty years. After I entered Tibet, I have heard a lot of folk legends about Princess Wencheng, from planting, craftsman skills to medicine, all of which make the people grateful to Dade. I don't want to compare the merits of the two noble lords, but I want to say that your lord entered Tibet when he was young, and once had the heart to return to China, but since he can't do it, why not try to find what he can do in Tibet, so that he can be more comfortable? ”

As soon as these words came out, he saw that Princess Jincheng's face changed uncertainly, as if he wanted to reprimand himself for being rude, and wanted to ask further, at that moment, he simply stood up and saluted: "Dashuai tasted it, since the Tang Dynasty, there have been many princesses of Hefan, but in terms of importance, no one can surpass the two princesses of Hebo and Tibet." Please also ask your lord to think about it, although Princess Wencheng was highly respected back then, but during the reign of Tubo on Qinling, he once fought with the Tang Dynasty repeatedly, and the two countries were already at odds with each other, but Princess Wencheng was still highly respected, what is the reason? The Tang Dynasty, the kingdom of the Celestial Empire; Tibet, a big country. Although the two countries fought against each other, they still did not hurt the princess's dignity, which shows that the Tubo monarchs and ministers are civilized, unlike the Turks, Xi and even Khitan and other tiger and wolf countries, which often harm the princess. Therefore, I also ask the princess to relax a lot, and mediate the dispute between the two countries with the respect of the princess of the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo Zanmeng. ”

It was said that Princess Jincheng and Tang Envoy would meet alone, but where could Zhu Dan rest assured, he had already taken Shang Qing outside to listen to the corner. When Shang Qing translated Zhang Xing's words to him sentence by sentence, he was sometimes solemn and sometimes sneered, but when he heard the Tang envoy call Tibet a great country and think that it could not be compared with the Turks, Xi, and Khitan, he couldn't help but show a trace of pride.

This time, Tang Envoy really doesn't just talk about it, but his views are accurate! How can Tubo be compared with the Turks, Xi, and Khitan!

"Zhang Lang deserves his reputation." Princess Jincheng gently spit out a few words, thinking of these lonely days, she couldn't hide her sorrow after all, "It's not that I don't want to learn from Princess Wencheng back then, but I'm a woman, I'm isolated here, what can I do?" ”

"Why do you say that? Datang is your lord's biggest backup! To say something that I don't like to hear, if the princess comes from a small country such as Xiao Bolu, which is precarious and will be annexed anytime and anywhere, can An live in such a magnificent hall and be saluted by the subjects of Tibet? The marriage between the two countries, your lord is the link, I heard that in the past, the lord used to teach Chinese characters and poems in the palace, so when the Nang clan Shangqing was sent to the Tang Dynasty before, he was able to win the praise of His Majesty, which is the merit of your lord! I am in Longyou, the west of the Tang River, and I don't know how many people know the Tibetan language and writing, but among the Tubo nobles, such as Lu Dongzan back then, and now there are very few people who are proficient in Sinology.

If your lord did this back then, why should he continue to do so in the future? Wouldn't someone be able to communicate with your lord in the language of your hometown, in the words of your hometown, to relieve your loneliness? As long as you have your own life, as long as you live your own brilliance, the rest of your troubles will always disappear! ”

Speaking of which, Princess Jincheng only felt that the haze that had shrouded her head for many years had dissipated a lot, and an indescribable spirit seemed to have been injected into her body from the top of her head. She pushed the handrail and stood up, and said happily to Zhang Xing: "Zhang Lang's words are better than other people's words of comfort. Thanks to you for coming to Tibet this time, when you come to visit Your Majesty, I will definitely ask for credit for you! ”

"This is a matter of Zhang Xing's responsibility, and your lord's words are serious."

Hearing that there was no substantive content in it, but began to exchange the customs and customs of the two capitals, etc., the ruler took Zhu Dan and continued to listen, and turned around and left with Shang Qing with a complicated face. When he arrived at the bronze bridge connecting the two halls, he suddenly stopped and said to Shang Qing: "This Tang envoy is different from the last emperor. When Huangfu Weiming came, it was when I didn't want to continue the war with the Tang Dynasty, and he saw through my intentions, so he was able to make peace between the two countries. And this Zhang Xing...... What he can penetrate is the deepest part of the human heart. ”

Unconsciously, he thought that he was still very young, and when his grandmother was in power, he saw Princess Jincheng for the first time on the day he welcomed his relatives. Her skin was as white as goat's milk, her hair was as smooth and shiny as silk, and her eyes were as starry...... He had never seen such a delicate and beautiful woman. However, more than 20 years have passed in a flash, and the little girl seems to have disappeared into his memory with the passing years. But looking back now, that memory is as vivid as ever.

Shang Qing was a little unsure of the true intention of the ruler with Zhu Dan, and some didn't know how to interface with the Dao. But he soon didn't have to worry about it, because Zamp in front of him once again regained his usual coldness.

"Since the princess is very convinced of the Tang envoy this time, then stay with them for a while longer, no matter what method is used! During this period, there is no need to mention Anxi's side, Helong's movements must be investigated! I want to see if the Tang envoy is just talking! ”
