Chapter 301: The Opportunity to Refuse Marriage
Li Anning had come to ask for help before, claiming that he might go to Tibet and kiss.
Xie Yi knew about this, and after coming back, he heard Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan talk about it.
But Xie Yi didn't think so, the one who was close to her was Princess Wencheng, and she had a woolen relationship with Li Anning, the lord of Jincheng? Li Anning's worries are purely overwhelmed.
However, at this moment......
When Li Anning said that the title that the imperial court had drawn up for him, but it was still clear that the holy decree was exactly the word "Wencheng", Xie Yi was a little uneasy.
It is customary for the daughter of the clan who marries to marry far away to get the title of "princess", so the little county lord in front of him, Li Anning, is a famous princess in history - Princess Wencheng?
This is ......
Xie Yi was speechless for a long time, first, he was surprised by the identity of the little county lord; The second is that he hates dogmatism and harms people, and he concludes that Princess Wencheng and Li Anning are not the same person based on just one title.
That's a bit naïve!
I don't want to think about it, can the title be fixed? A prince is the king of Shu today, and tomorrow it may be the king of Zhou or the king of Wu, and it is too common to change the title.
The same is true for the title of the princess, and it is normal to change it, especially when the princess is given by the daughter of the clan. Partial to his own thinking solidified, he even ignored this matter.
Li Anning said it herself, as the daughter of the county king, it stands to reason that she can only be canonized as the "county lord", and she can have the title of the county lord, which is completely the emperor's special favor to the Jiangxia County Palace. Now let yourself marry and kiss, you can't refuse, but ...... In the bitter cold land of the Tibetan Plateau, she really didn't want to go. Xie Changshi has always been resourceful, and he doesn't know if there is a way to stop this matter and save himself from this catastrophe.
This......
Xie Yi couldn't help but groan, the little county lord was pitiful, and his red-eyed crying was really distressing. In the past, most of the people who came to ask for help were her own initiatives, but now that Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, has returned to Chang'an, I am afraid that the little county lord came not only because of her own meaning.
Li Daozong himself also had the intention of asking for help. Although he is in a high position, when it comes to his daughter, he can't speak, so he acts in a roundabout way.
In this way, whether it is Li Daozong's favor or the happiness of the little county lord, it is difficult to refuse.
To put it mildly, with his relatives, the little county lord's every move is estimated to be watched by many people, Li Anning is in and out of the Rimchuan villa like this today. I'm afraid that it will be misunderstood, or even deliberately miscommunicated.
The rumors that the little county lord has a personal affair with him are likely to spread, and to some extent, Xie Yi is now involved in the matter, and he can't get rid of it if he wants to.
From the perspective of the essence of the matter, Princess Wencheng and her relatives have been praised in various ways in the history books of later generations, which is of great significance. There may be some, but ......
At the time, was it really that big? It seems to be waiting for Tubo to have a confrontation with the Tang Dynasty in the Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions. Xue Rengui later suffered defeat at the hands of the Tubo people. The Tibetan army threatened the security of the Silk Road many times, and even threatened the land of the Tang Dynasty in Guanzhong.
Expecting a woman to be able to buy peace? This is naïve. Many times, this is a stopgap measure when the opponent is defeated, and the party who accepts the peace is often unable to do so. Walking down this step to avoid unpleasantness between the two sides is actually a way to compromise with each other.
When there are real contradictions and conflicts of interest, the two sides will still not hesitate to go to war. As for the princess who is kind? Will the emperor and the leader of the steppe take it to heart?
So, in the eyes of later generations, it was a matter of historical significance, but under the circumstances of the time. In fact, it is the result of compromise.
In a word, the strength is not as good as the people, the army man is defeated, and then let a woman go to calm the war, which is somewhat humiliating.
The Ming Dynasty may not have been as prosperous in history as the Han and Tang dynasties, but one thing that the Ming Dynasty has always been proud of is that there has never been a matter of harmony. Although the Song Dynasty often lost to Liao and Western Xia in foreign wars, there were no examples of marrying princesses and relatives.
On the contrary, it is the so-called prosperous era of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and such examples are not uncommon. It is said that since Princess Wencheng, Tubo Zampu has to ask for the "canonization" of the Tang Dynasty after he ascended the throne.
But such canonization is often just a false ceremony, don't you Tang Emperor admit it, and people won't be Tubo Zampu? Can your Tang Emperor's edict count on the plateau? It's just a false name, and if you take it seriously, you'll lose.
And the princess who marries out often has a very different life, from the Central Plains with fine clothes and jade food to the bitter cold land of the grassland, the climate and diet are completely different.
If life is not satisfactory, it often does not last long, or life is sad. Princess Xijun of the Han Dynasty married Wusun for five years and died, and Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty married the Turks very unsatisfactory.
As for Princess Wencheng, there are not many records of her deeds after entering Tibet, and it is said that Songtsen Gampo was very good to her, and her status was very high.
But Songtsen Gampo died young at the age of thirty-three, and he and Princess Wencheng had no children.
On the plateau thousands of miles away, far from her hometown, without her husband and children, is her life really easy? Especially now, when Li Anning was standing in front of him alive, Xie Yi was asking himself like this in his heart.
God knows what kind of torture the heroic, lively and lovely little county lord will be in such a situation?
I can't bear it!
Thinking of this, Xie Yi really wanted to help the little county lord!
Just what to do? It is definitely useless to intercede, otherwise it should be more useful in Li Daozong's identity. Again, unless you can find another replacement for the "princess", who will you not go to?
Well, beyond that......
"County Lord, did Ling Zun say a feasible way?"
Li Anning said in a low voice: "Father said that unless the matter of harmony is stopped......"
"This is a matter of kinship...... His Majesty only promised to discuss after the arrival of the Tibetan Prime Minister Lu Dongzan in Chang'an, but did not give a definite agreement. ”
Xie Yidao; "So there is still a chance, but His Majesty seems to have a tendency to agree......"
"So I implore Xie Changshi to think of a way......" Li Anning was indeed a little anxious, she didn't want to accept her fate until she tried all the methods.
"That's it!" Xie Yi nodded, lost in thought. Previously promised to make peace with Tubo, a very important reason is that the battle of Songzhou is evenly matched, Tubo Yin has the upper hand, and the northern steppe has Xue Yantuo and Turkic calamity, so it is necessary to appease this powerful neighbor in the southwest.
However, at this time and at that time, now that Xue Yantuo has been destroyed and the Turks are stable, do you still need to be so gentle with Tubo? In this case, is the necessity of harmony still so high?
Perhaps, that's where the opportunity lies! (To be continued.) )
