Chapter 184: Never let a Tang woman marry Tibet
Since the Han Dynasty, in order to ease the relationship between neighboring countries, especially the northern grassland peoples, the Central Plains Dynasty has sent Central Plains women out in the name of harmony countless times to ensure the short-term peace on the border. Although countless literati and writers have whitewashed the harmony, they still cannot hide the shame caused by this behavior.
From the Western Han Dynasty to marry the first daughter in the name of the princess to Mao Dunshan Yu, until the early Tang Dynasty, there have been dozens of princesses married to the grassland, these poor women for the so-called national righteousness, not only to marry away from home, to serve the rough grassland barbarians, but also to put down all self-esteem, endure the vice of the father and son, and finally under the blow of the grassland wind and sand, a flower-like Han woman, just withered away from home thousands of miles away from home.
Although the Tang Dynasty was strong, it has never been broken off for the matter of harmony, but compared with other dynasties, the Tang Dynasty, especially the early Tang Dynasty, was even stronger, for example, the harmony of the Han Dynasty was generally because it could not beat others, so it offered women to pray for peace, while the early Tang Dynasty was completely different, which is also related to Li Shimin's character.
Li Shimin is an arrogant and even somewhat arrogant emperor, his character determines that Datang will never exchange women for peace, so Datang generally cripples the other party, subdues it, and even directly destroys the other party, and then Li Shimin will come forward and marry the daughter of the sect to the other party in the name of the princess, such as Tuyuhun and Turkic, but now it is likely to add a Tubo.
"Bah~, I will never let my Tang Dynasty woman marry to Tubo!" Li Su in the palace slapped the table. He stood up with an angry face and said.
"Rokuro, don't be in too much of a hurry. There is still time, people are just here to ask for marriage. Although there are signs of agreement from the father, at least it has not been decided, and we still have a chance! Li Ke stood up and pressed Li Su to the chair again, and persuaded patiently.
In fact, in Li Ke's view, it is nothing to make peace with Tubo, after all, this kind of thing has existed since ancient times. And it will also deepen the ties between the two countries, so it is not worth the fuss at all. But unexpectedly, as soon as Li Su heard this, he immediately lost his usual reason, and began to shout and kill Tubo on the way. And when the person sent out to inquire about the news came back to report it, Li Su was even more furious, and he couldn't wait to run to Honglu Temple now, and then kill that Songtsen Gampo with his own hands.
Songtsen Gampo did come for peace, to be precise, in the name of peace, hoping to repair the rift between the two countries caused by the battle of Songzhou. Moreover, after the news that he sent someone to inquire about just now, Li Shimin was very moved by this peace, and he had already discussed it with Fang Xuanling and others, and did not get too many objections. Even now they are already considering the candidate for harmony.
"Third brother, you don't understand, Tubo is a plateau wolf, and he can't be familiar with it at all, now that I am powerful in the Tang Dynasty, naturally I don't need to be afraid of them, but today you have also seen that Songtsan Gampo, you can see it with only those eyes, and the other party must be a rare male master. If you are friendly now and give the other party a chance to breathe, then I dare to assert that in less than twenty years, Tubo will definitely become my Datang's henchman! Li Su couldn't sit down at all, and as soon as he was pressed down by Li Ke, he immediately began to move around the room again.
What he said is not unfounded, during the reign of Li Shimin, the Tang Dynasty was indeed a great military achievement, except for Goguryeo, there was hardly any big record of failure, and even Goguryeo could not be said to be defeated, it can only be said that the ultimate strategic goal was not achieved, and Liaodong was recovered, laying the foundation for Li Zhi's destruction of Goguryeo in the future.
However, during Li Shimin's reign, he made a fatal mistake in diplomacy, that is, he allowed the development of Tibet, coupled with Princess Wencheng's entry into Tibet, bringing a lot of advanced technology in agriculture and industry, which made Tibet's productivity rise sharply, and soon grew into the most powerful opponent of the Tang Dynasty. …,
During the reign of Li Zhi, the Tubo, whose minions had been sharpened, began to compete with the Tang Dynasty for control of the Western Regions, and even threatened the security of the Silk Road on land, which directly led to the second war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, but contrary to the result of the Battle of Songzhou, this war with Tubo was the biggest defeat in the foreign war since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and this is the famous Battle of Dafeichuan in history.
The battle of Dafeichuan not only made the Tang Dynasty lose the four towns of Anxi, but also lost control of Tuyuhun, making Tuyuhun become another part of Tubo, which greatly increased the strength of Tubo, and then although the Tang army recaptured the four towns of Anxi, but during the period, it was also stopped and stopped with Tubo, which greatly consumed the national strength, and even later, even Chang'an had a record of being captured by Tubo.
"No, I'm going to see my father, and I must let him dispel the idea of making peace!" Li Su was also confused, he didn't have the calmness and wisdom of the past at all, he just wanted to mess up the matter of harmony as soon as possible, but he didn't think about a way at all.
Fortunately, there was a calm Li Ke next to him, and when he saw Li Su walking out, he immediately grabbed him and said: "Liulang, it's okay for you to sober up, although I don't know why you don't want to make peace with Tubo, but at least you have to pay attention to the method, if you go to the palace to see your father like this, and then your father asks you why you can't get married, how should you answer?" ”
"This ......" Li was stunned for a moment, and his head, which had been dizzy just now, finally regained some consciousness. The matter of harmony has existed since ancient times, and in the eyes of his emperor father, Tubo is already a defeated general under the Tang Dynasty, and this time he is courting with a humble attitude, and this is just in line with Li Shimin's arrogant mentality, if he goes to persuade not to make peace now, but he can't even find a reason to take it out, after all, he knows the direction of future history, but others don't know?
"Sixth brother, you are more familiar with the affairs of the court than me, help me think about it, how can I stop the peace with Tubo?" Li Su was drenched in the rain outside and suffered from the cold, at this time he felt a mess in his brain, and his temples were also swollen and painful, and he couldn't think of any good way at all, so he had to ask Li Ke for help.
However, his question stopped Li Ke, because in his opinion, no matter from which point of view, making peace with Tubo is a thing that has a hundred benefits and no harm, so Li Ke lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "Liulang, I don't know why you are so wary of Tubo, but from the perspective of my father, no matter whether you are at war with Tubo in the future, you can only appease it now, after all, since last year, the Tang Dynasty has destroyed Goguryeo and Gaochang in a row, and has hit the Western Turks hard, Although the treasury is very full because of you, don't forget, fighting a war is not only a fight for logistics, but also a lot of consumption of the army, so in the next few years, it is very likely that there will be no more major wars in my Datang! ”
Li Ke's analysis of the current situation is very clear, indeed, after a series of wars, even if the treasury is rich, but the materials stored in the country have been almost consumed, and even the domestic prices have begun to rise.
After Li Su listened, he felt that the temples on both sides of his head were even more swollen, and at the same time, his brain was buzzing like a train, and even his whole body felt a chill approaching, and it seemed that the wind chill from the rain was about to get worse.
At this time, Li Ke also noticed Li Su's strange appearance, reached out and touched his forehead, but found that his hands were a little hot, and at the same time, Li Su's face was also flushed with an unnatural flush, and he didn't dare to delay anymore, and directly called Gao Zhong to call the imperial doctor in the palace and quickly treat Li Su.
After the imperial doctor prescribed medicine to Li Su, Wen Xin of the inner house got the news and hurried over, commanding the people in the house to place the husband, and then asked Gao Chongdai to thank Li Ke and send the other party back to the house, and then personally boiled the medicine to feed Li Su. …,
"Wen Xin, don't let Xijun come, I have a cold, it's contagious!" Li Su was about to be burned into a daze, and he didn't think if Wen Xin could understand what a cold was, so he closed his eyes and said weakly.
"Don't worry, my sister is precious now, I have already told her not to come!" Wen Xin now has a bit of a woman's demeanor, although she is a little flustered because of Li Su's illness, but she also handles everything in a comprehensive way and is very organized.
"That's good, then it's ......" Li Su's heart was relieved after hearing this, and he muttered for a while, and slowly fell asleep.
The so-called illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread! Li Yu responded to this sentence this time, the illness that only occurred in the afternoon was already very serious at night, his body burned like a soldering iron, and the skin of his whole body was glowing with an unnatural red. Seeing this situation, Wen Xin was frightened and confused, and he didn't know what to do at all, but fortunately, Wen'er reminded him and hurriedly sent someone to invite Sun Simiao over, but the other party saw Li Su's situation but smiled abnormally, and then sent someone to fetch the alcohol for disinfection, stripped Li Su and wiped it with alcohol, so as to lower Li Su's body temperature.
This method was still talked to by the other party when he was chatting with Li Su a few days ago, but he didn't expect to use it on Li Su today, so this also made Sun Simiao sigh at the wonder of the world.
With the evaporation of alcohol, Li Su's body temperature really lowered, and then Sun Simiao made a little modification to the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor before, and poured it into Li Su after boiling, and it really worked, and Li Su's body temperature never rebounded greatly. Before dawn, Li Shimin took Concubine Yang, who had just come out of confinement, to see his son, but he saw that Li Su had fallen asleep, and after listening to Sun Simiao's condition under control, he was relieved.
At this time, Concubine Yang couldn't care about her dissatisfaction with Wen Xin, and took her hand for a long time, nothing more than asking her to take good care of Li Su and something like that, and finally Concubine Yang reluctantly returned to the palace, after all, there was a little Shengping in the palace who asked her to take care of it.
Li Ke's illness came by coincidence, not to mention the Winter Games for the time being, Li Ke could find someone to top, but for the matter of stopping Tubo and his relatives, he was delayed all of a sudden. And on the third day of Li Su's illness, Li Jingheng suddenly came to the door crying with a little girl! (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
