Chapter 56: Princess Wencheng

Husband!

That's right, the eldest grandson queen did call her husband!

The rumors are true, at this banquet, Queen Changsun wants to take this opportunity to find a wishful husband for Princess Changle.

It's just that the characters have already been locked.

This person is naturally Duhe!

Through observation and temptation, Duhe's performance made her very satisfied.

Princess Changle likes it, Li Shimin appreciates it, and he is very satisfied. Empress Changsun also settled down and regarded Du He as her son-in-law.

As for Duho's opinion, it is not up to Duho to decide.

After all, it is the feudal era, who can refuse Li Shimin's holy decree of marriage.

Empress Eldest Sun wanted to stop Du He, but she didn't know what to call it. Directly calling the name Du He seems to be raw, it is not appropriate to call Du Erlang, and it is also inappropriate to call Qinglian. remembered that Princess Changle said that Du He's nickname was "husband".

Anyway, Du He is about to be his own fast son-in-law, so it is appropriate to call him a nickname.

So, the tragedy of Duhe!

He stopped, and his face showed a shocked look, and he completely fell to the thunder, and his body shook, and he almost couldn't stand on his feet.

O heaven, O earth, who am I provoking to provoke whom?

It's okay to take advantage of Li Xueyan and Princess Changle, why did Queen Changsun also shout?

That's a big joke!

If you let Li Shimin, the supreme ruler of the Tang Empire, know that he will not break his body into thousands of pieces and feed it to the dogs to eliminate the hatred in his heart?

No, you must not let anyone know the true meaning of this husband.

Du He forced himself to be calm, looking back at the eldest grandson queen who called him "husband", he was worried in his heart, and he felt like a thief.

Empress Eldest Sun paused, and stopped Du He who wanted to accompany Li Chengqian's actions today, but he was homesick and ugly, so he sighed secretly and said: "Nothing, you go down!" ”

"Uh......" Did you call me, just for a "husband", Du He shuddered slightly and left in a hurry.

For Du He, this banquet was just a small episode of his life in Datang.

Not long after the banquet ended, the new semester of Hongbunkan began again.

In the school, Du He and Li Xueyan quarreled, and from time to time teased Changle mm, and it was also delicious. These two beautiful girls reached an agreement and secretly competed with each other, and Duhe can be said to enjoy the blessings of all people.

As for the polo game, Duhe has not pulled it down, and Luo Tong already has the style of a general and can take charge of it alone. When they encountered the competition, the two of them took turns to skip class, and still maintained the momentum of winning constantly, and the points were firmly at the top of the leaderboard.

It didn't take long for the leisurely day to happen, and something that was enough to affect Du He's body happened.

This is said to be a ten-day vacation in Hongwenguan, and Du He made an appointment with Luo Tong, Li Yesi, and Li Yexu to go to the stadium to watch the game together.

Today's game is a match between Prince Li Chengqian's Royal Guard and a team called Wind and Snow Drifting.

Li Chengqian's preferences are somewhat special, and in Du He's words, he is psychopathic.

As the crown prince, what does he have? He likes to pretend to be thieves and robbers to steal people's cattle to cook and eat in a cauldron, and he also likes to play a game of fake death, lying motionless on the ground, and letting his subordinates cry for him with a Turkic funeral.

He didn't like the local culture of the Tang Dynasty at all, but respected the Turkic culture, and there were a large number of Turkic people with high martial arts in the East Palace, all of whom grew up on horseback and were skilled in bow horses.

The Royal Guard is also made up of them, so the results are quite good. It's just that this team representing the royal family is all Turkic, which has to be regarded as a great irony.

The strength of the Wind and Snow Drifting Team is also quite good, and the game is evenly matched, which is quite exciting.

As the first half drew to a close, the Royal Guard finally scored a goal.

"Good!" There was a shout from the VIP seat! A smug laugh ensued.

Du He, Luo Tong and others looked over, but saw Li Chengqian laughing proudly at the top.

Luo Tong pursed his lips and snorted: "What is there to be proud of, if you meet our iron-blooded overlord team, it will be too late to make him cry!" It seems that Li Chengqian is not very popular.

Du He's eyes noticed a few people beside Li Chengqian. They are all dressed strangely, especially their hair, all of which are braided, there are dozens of them, like twisted flowers, hanging on their heads, they are not Tang Dynasty people, nor are they common Western Regions people and Turkic people.

"Look at the people next to the prince!" Li Yexu also noticed those people, and said in a low voice: "Looking at their outfits, they should be Tubo." My grandfather has been studying Tibetan materials recently, and he once said that Tibet now has a great king. If they are not restricted, they will definitely become a fierce rival of our Tang Dynasty Western Regions in the future. This should be their envoy, and he was accompanied by the prince, and it seems that the other party is not a small person. ”

Du He also secretly praised Li Yexu's words, this Li Jing is worthy of being the god of the Tang Dynasty. With a long-term vision and unique insights, everything is as he expected.

The rise of Tibet became the most powerful enemy of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, and in the post-martial period of the Supreme Sect, in terms of military strength, Tubo was not inferior to the Tang Dynasty. Especially after the Anshi Rebellion broke out in the Tang Dynasty, Tubo took the opportunity to seize Shanzhou, Huitong, Taideng, and Kunming and threaten the western Sichuan Plain. Then he waved his troops into Chang'an and occupied the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

If the Tang Dynasty was able to level Tibet in one fell swoop when it was strong, why was it so humiliating?

However, it is by no means easy to pacify Tibet, and the plateau climate will be a nightmare for the Tang generals.

Thinking so, I saw that the group of people in Tibet also looked at them.

There were two people in their group, and Du He was particularly concerned.

One is a middle-aged man in his forties, he is dressed in a strange outfit, with a fat head and big ears, looking at the figure of no less than two hundred and fifty pounds, with a simple appearance, sitting next to Li Chengqian.

This man looks ordinary, but he gives Du He a sense of wisdom and foolishness.

There is also a man who is no more than twenty years old, dressed as a guard, standing behind the big fat man with full spirit, his eyes do not squint, and he has an indescribable temperament, this kind of temperament Du He has seen in Li Shimin.

It's just that compared to Li Shimin, the guard is much inferior.

Who are they?

What is the purpose of coming to Datang?

Du He pondered.

************

Tang Palace, Ganlu Palace.

Li Shimin was discussing with his eldest grandson Wuji about the news of the Tibetan envoy.

"Mowgli, this time, the Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan was ordered by their Zanpu Songtsan Gampo to come to my Datang to marry my Datang. What do you think about this! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji is Li Shimin's most trusted minister and his brother-in-law, so it is very appropriate to discuss this kind of matter with him.

The eldest grandson Wuji said in a deep voice: "Tubo Weichen has paid more attention in recent years, ten years ago, Tubo was not worth mentioning at all, but seven years ago, after the thirteen-year-old Tubo Songtsan Gampo ascended the throne of Zampu, he worked hard to govern the country, learned my Tang culture, and the national strength became stronger and stronger, pacified the civil strife, conquered Zhuqiang, and faintly became the overlord of the southwest. In terms of national strength, Tuyuhun is far from being their opponent. ”

"In this way, Mowgli is in favor of marriage?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.

The eldest grandson Wuji replied: "The emperor is bent on attacking the northern frontier, and this intention to go north must appease the southern forces, and the ministers will make peace for the sake of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"You have a point!" Li Shimin stood up, "But the princesses, either they are not yet of the age of marriage, or they have already promised the minister's son, and only Changle is suitable." Changle is the treasure in my heart! How could I bear to marry her off in a remote barbarian land? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji laughed: "The minister has a law, Princess Changle can't, but Your Majesty can allow the daughter of the clan." As far as the minister knows, Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, has a little girl named Li Xueyan, who is just fifteen years old, like a flower and jade, and has not yet promised to marry. The emperor can canonize her as a princess, at the request of Tubo. ”

"That's a good idea!" Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he said: "Quickly recruit the king of Rencheng to come to Beijing to see me, if he agrees, I will canonize Li Xueyan as Princess Wencheng and make peace with Tubo." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji heard Li Shimin's promise, and a yin sneer appeared on his harmless face!
