"Pass you?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "Cheng Qian, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Father, this question is still up to the sons and daughters to answer!" At this moment, Li Su finally struggled to stand up, slowly paced to Li Chengqian's side and said, "Father, whether it is the eldest brother or the sons and daughters and other brothers, they all have a bad impression of Tubo, especially the last time the Tubo envoy also spoke disrespectfully to my Tang princess, which made the sons angry in their hearts, although this time the Tubo lord came to ask for marriage in person, showing enough sincerity, but it is not so easy to marry our imperial sister, so the sons and daughters thought of two test conditions, only the other party completed these two tests, Then a few of us will agree to marry my sister to him! ”

Li Shimin listened to Li Su's words, but looked up and down the two sons standing together with great interest, as an emperor and father, he knew best what happened between his sons, in Li Chengqian's opinion, Li Su should be his biggest competitor, but now the two of them are working together to find trouble in Tubo, there must be an inside story that he doesn't know!

And Li Tai next to him was even more confused, he really didn't expect that the eldest brother would collude with the sixth brother, could they really just target Tubo?

"Liulang, what two test conditions have you set for Tubo?" Li Shimin's interest was completely aroused, and it was rare for several sons to work together, although there must be something greasy in it, but the reason why Li Su said was also sufficient, the princess of the Tang Dynasty was not only his daughter, but also Li Su's sister, worried about her sister's marriage. can be regarded as having a heart, just for this thought, he, as a father, is really not easy to refuse, and he actually has a little anger towards Tubo in his heart, and he just borrowed the hands of several sons to vent his anger for him.

"Father, my Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette. Naturally, there will be some barbaric and unreasonable questions! Li Su held his sick body strongly, but there was an excited smile on his face, which was known to those who were familiar with him. This is Li Su is going to calculate people again.

I saw Li Su perk up his spirits and spoke again: "Father, the son and the third brother a few days ago. And some friends are ready to organize a sports event in Datang, temporarily named the Datang Winter Games, there will be many competitions, and the two topics of Erchen are from this Datang Winter Games. ”

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this, of course he knew that Li Su and Li Ke were engaged in the Winter Games, after all, he himself was a sports maniac, and he usually liked to hunt and play polo the most, so when the news of the Winter Games reached his ears, it really made him excited. After all, even if you can't play in person, it's good to have a good time.

"Liulang, tell your father quickly, how do you want to solve the problem at the Winter Games then?" Li Shimin asked with great interest.

"Qi Qi's father, sons, and brothers thought so. If Tubo wants to come to court, then show their strength, so they must send people to participate in this Winter Games, and in the early competition, they must win at least three championships, and then at the end of the competition. There will also be a bicycle race around the city, and then the sons will also participate, if that Songtsen Gampo is really sincere, then he will personally go into battle and compete with the sons, if he can defeat the sons in the game, then we will be convinced! ”

As soon as Li Su's two topics came out, Li Zhen, Li Zhen and several other young people next to him began to cover their mouths and snicker, Li Ke also smiled, but Li Tai next to him was fascinated. In the back, Fang Xuanling and a group of civil and military officials all whispered, and Li Chengqian and Li Su were embarrassed by Tibet under the banner of family affairs from the beginning, so they couldn't intervene at all. …,

After Li Shimin listened, he walked back and forth on the jade steps a few times, talking about psychology, and the two requests put forward by Li Su were not difficult, and it was not easy to say that it was easy. As far as Li Shimin knows, because of the hasty preparation for the Winter Games, the number of participants is small, and there are more than 20 competitions alone. Moreover, there are more than 1,000 Tibetan people who came this time, and it is not difficult to win only three championships from so many competitions.

In addition, the cycling race around the city is even simpler, plus Li Shen, who is only eight years old, almost all of Li Shimin's sons who can participate in the race are here, but counting from Li Zhen down, the three of them are too young to make up a number at all, and Li Chengqian's leg is disabled, and even walking is a problem, let alone riding. Li Tai is obese, and it is estimated that he is a little stronger than Li Chengqian, so he is also excluded, so calculated, in the end, only Li Ke, Li Su and Li Yun are left, but Li Su is sick, and I don't know if he can participate at that time, Li Yun is timid and cowardly, and Li Shimin is very optimistic about him, so in the end, Songtsen Gampo's opponent is only Li Ke, as long as he wins him, then no one will stop him.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin finally made up his mind, although he was dissatisfied with Tubo, but as a monarch, he naturally had to have a tolerance for people, judging from the current situation, making peace with Tubo is indeed a good and harmless thing, so he is still very much in favor of peace in his heart.

"Well, it's rare for your brothers to work together and make such a request, then I will meet your request as a father, but I also have one condition!" Li Shimin's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he said with a smile, "You can compete with the Tubo people if you want to, but you are absolutely not allowed to do anything behind your back, otherwise if I find out, then this agreement will be invalidated, and the matter of harmony will still be carried out as usual!" ”

"Father Xie agreed!" Seeing that Li Shimin agreed, Li Ke and Li Zhen, who were sitting in the back, also hurriedly stood up, walked to Li Su's side and bowed down. And although Li Tai hasn't figured out anything yet, seven of the eight princes have already gone up, and if he is still sitting, he can only seem to be isolated by the other brothers, so in desperation, he has to follow and thank him at the end.

Finally got the thing done, and Li Su breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After retiring from the dynasty, he was supported by Li Ke and was about to return home, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Fang Xuanling and Li Jing, the two civil and military leaders, with the two of them understanding Li Su, the other party would definitely not play this kind of game with the Tubo people for no reason!

In the face of the questioning of the two, Li Su really didn't know how to answer, because the other party's attitude was obviously similar to Li Shimin's, they were all in favor of harmony, after all, from their position and perspective, they could only see the benefits that harmony brought to Datang for the time being. Fortunately, Li was in a hurry, and suddenly pretended to be sick and coughed loudly. And Li Ke was even more aware of the opportunity, while playing haha with the two, he put Li Su on the carriage, and then the two brothers immediately beat their horses and left, leaving only Fang Xuanling and Li Jing angry and stunned.

persuaded Li Shimin, and there was no need for Li Su to worry about the Tibetan side. The next day, Li Shimin personally summoned Songtsen Gampo and then put forward his sons' requests.

Songtsen Gampo is only twenty-one years old this year, he has received a good education of Tibetan nobles since he was a child, and at the age of thirteen, his father was poisoned, and the country was torn apart.

As soon as he heard that the other party agreed, he immediately launched all the newspapers directly or indirectly controlled by him, and reported a large number of articles on the affairs of Tubo and relatives, and under the instruction of Li Su, he also specially mentioned the battle of Songzhou two years ago, greatly exaggerating the arrogance and rudeness of Tubo and insulting the princess of the Tang Dynasty, which led to the failure of the courtship, and took the lead in invading the Tang Dynasty, which caused a war between the two countries to break out, and thousands of Tang men died in southern Xinjiang. …,

For the battle of Songzhou, although the newspaper reports are slightly exaggerated, but most of them are indeed facts, and even many family members of the war dead stood up and scolded the Tubo people in the newspapers, provoking disputes for no reason, so that their sons or husbands died in the war, and there were even well-written newspaper gentlemen, who greatly described the scenes of some orphans crying and shouting for their fathers, and did their best to tear and sensationalize.

As soon as these reports came out, the reputation of the Tubo people in the Tang Dynasty fell again and again, and even the Tubo people had to be careful when they went to the streets, because they were likely to be besieged by the excited people of Chang'an, so for a while, the Tubo merchants fled one after another, and they didn't dare to stay in Chang'an for a moment, and even the Dongnu Kingdom and the party businessmen who were closer to Tubo were also implicated, after all, in the eyes of the Chang'an people, their appearance and habits were really similar.

With the decline of the reputation of Tibet, the corresponding prestige of the princes led by Li Chengqian has soared. This is mainly because Li Su made some small changes and exaggerations to the content when he asked people to report, removed some political and identity factors, and simply emphasized that their brother could not bear to let his younger sister marry far away, so he stepped forward and launched a civilized race with the Tubo people to save his sister. It can be said that from the very beginning, Li Su portrayed his brothers as a group of positive characters.

Chang'an is one acre and three points of land for Li Su and his brothers, and the newspaper is also controlled by Li Su, so in terms of public opinion, the Tubo people can only be scolded, and they can't pay it back if they want to. As for Li Shimin, anyway, the newspaper didn't dare to say that he was not, and he scolded and scolded the immortal, so he was too lazy to care, not to mention other civil and military officials, no one would go against the entire princely group for the sake of a small country.

Just when Chang'an City was shouting and shouting to kill the Tubo people, on the main road east of Chang'an City, a convoy was slowly coming. The scale of this convoy is not large, and the style of the carriage looks very ordinary, but if you look closely, you will find that the carriage in front of you is very exquisite and meticulous, and even the materials are made of fine mahogany, so you can see that the people sitting on the carriage are definitely not ordinary people.

Just when the convoy was about to arrive at Chunming Gate, I saw that the window of the carriage at the front was opened, revealing an old face inside, only to see the other party look at the Chang'an city wall with those cloudy eyes, and then said to himself helplessly: "Li Su, Li Su, the old man is here, I hope your conditions can satisfy us all!" (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
