If it comes to being smart and wise, Xiaoman, Anu and Gu Zhuting are not inferior to Wan'er, but they are not in their position and do not seek their politics, they do not have Wan'er's experience in serving the emperor since the age of fourteen and immersing themselves in officialdom, so they will not even be accustomed to analyzing weddings and funerals from the perspective of political changes and shili competition.

And Wan'er was different from them, so Wan'er immediately thought of the various influences of Tubo and his generals on the political situation of the Great Zhou. The Turks once refused to marry their daughter on the grounds that the concubine surnamed Wu was not surnamed Li, and Wu Yanxiu was still herding horses on the prairie until now, and the princess who was married to Tubo and his relatives could only be from the Li family.

Now that the emperor has decided to return to Li, this is well known at home and abroad, so it is even more unlikely that the object of Tubo and his relatives will become a member of the martial family. But how many princesses are there in the Li Tang clan that are suitable to marry now?

Although the crown prince Li Dan has six daughters, they are not very old, but after Li Xian returned to the dynasty, in order to consolidate his position, he adopted the strategy of winning over the family and befriending the martial family through marriage.

Li Dan has more heirs than his seventh brother Li Xian, he has five sons and eleven daughters, the eldest of whom is less than twenty years old, and the youngest daughter is only seven years old, of which there are several unmarried and marriageable.

In this way, the question arises, what is the real purpose of the Tibetan harmony? For peace? No way! There has never been a case in history where harmony has ever really played this role, and it has always been proposed as a dignified means to end a conflict when one side is unable to fight again and the other side is unable to fight again and the other side has more to gain than to lose.

Sometimes, after the two countries have made peace with each other, they have calmed down the conflict for a few years, more than a decade, or even decades, not because they have married a daughter, but because neither side has the ability to continue to provoke war, or they do not think that they will gain more benefits by continuing to provoke war at this stage.

So Tubo and his relatives want to stop fighting and recuperate because of the infighting between the kings and the exhaustion of national strength? If so, Da Zhou may agree to make peace. You recharge your batteries. I also need to recuperate, and in a few decades, who will be stronger and who will be weak, then it will depend on who has recuperated better in these decades.

However, now the object of Tubo and relatives can only be the daughter of King Xiang, and Li Xian is a prince in vain, but because of the power of the Wu family, once he ascends the throne, he will also be destined to become a weak emperor's prince, after Tubo and King Xiang become in-laws, will it not encourage King Xiang to win the emperor's throne, and then reasonably interfere in the internal affairs of the Great Zhou? ?

The crown prince Li Xian and the prime minister Li Dan were originally decided. But these two brothers have both been crown princes and emperors, once there is a foreign shili to make trouble, will the court have another turmoil in the future, making the future political situation of the Great Zhou more confusing?

Since the eradication of the military god of Qinling, the military strength of Tubo has been greatly damaged. The battle against the Great Zhou began to lose more and win less, and after Wu Zetian moved the capital to Chang'an. It also strengthened the border defense in the Guanzhong area. The pressure on the Tibetan side has doubled, which should also be an important reason for them to choose harmony.

But just like the discussion just now that Misa was going to dig a pit for Yang Fan to jump, their harmony could not have any good intentions, as long as they were given a chance, they would not give up splitting the Great Zhou and weakening the Central Plains. Furthermore, consider it from the aspect of the Great Zhou Empire. Will the marriage between Tubo and King Xiang cause the suspicion of the crown prince?

For the Wu family, Li Tang is one, Tubo and King Xiang are married, and the Li family of the strong Li family. How will the Wu clan react? Wu Zetian has been preparing for the aftermath in recent years, will the political balance she worked hard to create be broken because of her harmony? What will she choose?

All these unknown choices may have an extremely far-reaching impact on the political situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future, even if Yang Fan is just a simple general, standing in such a sensitive position as him, it is inevitable to get involved in disputes, not to mention that he secretly has another identity.

If you feel that it is not your business today, it will be too late to think about it when the disaster affects you, a far-sighted person will not do such a short-sighted thing, so although Yang Fan does not know what he can do in this matter, he must go, he must know what happened as soon as possible, and take precautions.

Half an hour after Qizhou Sima Zhang Yu escorted the envoy team of Misa away, Yang Fan's family's car also left Wuzhangyuan. In the twilight, the convoy walked beside a treacherous deep ditch. It is a deep ditch formed by tens of millions of years of river erosion, and the great power of nature has carved out desolate and tragic traces of the loess cliff and the river.

Wan'er and Yang Fan sat side by side on the loess hanging wall, looking at the deep and strange deep valley. The evening breeze blew Wan'er's sideburns, and the setting sun gilded her hair and head with a layer of gold, like a beautiful statue.

"In that year, Zhuge Liang set out from Hanzhong, took the Baochuan Road, and entered Wuzhangyuan through the Qinling Mountains. Here with the Wei general Sima Yi held on, with a plan to lead the Wei soldiers into the gourd ditch, set fire to the valley mouth, but unexpectedly a heavy rain made the Wei army turn the danger into safety, Zhuge Liang I is eloquent, and can only sigh: 'The plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky.'" ’”

Yang Fan immediately climbed to the top of the cliff, listening to Wan'er's soft voice, as if he saw the golden iron horse and the banner in the sky, as if he heard the sound of the horn and the rumbling of war drums. Yang Fan said with emotion: "Not only Zhuge Liang will have this feeling, no one can do what he wants, even if he is a high emperor!" Don't worry, I'm just trying to make a difference, not against the sky! ”

The first attack launched by Yushitai on Er Zhang successfully removed Zhang Tongxiu, Zhang Changyi, and Zhang Changqi from their official positions, and fined Zhang Changzong 20 catties of copper, which was a small gain, but Er Zhang's vitality was not injured. A few days later, at the behest of the two Zhangs, the three brothers Zhang Tongxiu became officials again.

Wu Zetianxia appointed Zhang Tongxiu as Fangzhou Cheng, Zhang Changyi as Bowangcheng, and Zhang Changqi as Qizhou Cheng. The three of them are all demoted to a county and county, this is the first deputy of the official in a county, compared to the original Beijing position, it is a degraded official, but when it comes to real power, it is open and dark.

There are two backings in the capital, and their county is enough to suppress the county order and become the de facto lord of a county; And the three of them said that they were degrading officials, but they never left the ground in Guanzhong, and they were all officials in Guanzhong, and the imperial capital was in Guanzhong at the moment; Again. The original official positions of the three were idle positions with no real power, but now they have real power.

This is a strong counterattack by Erzhang, and it is also a strong counterattack by Wu Zetian, Erzhang proves that the emperor loves them as before, Wu Zetian uses this to show that the power is still in her hands, although Yushitai can use the rules of the law to attack Erzhang, she can also use the rules of power to turn the tide.

Prime Minister Wei Yuanzhong and Song Jing heard that Zhang Tongxiu had been reactivated, and they both rushed to the front of the palace to argue with reason, but they returned in vain. Wei Yuanzhong was furious, and was about to launch another wave of offensive against Erzhang. The Tibetan envoy on the Misa suddenly came to Chang'an.

Wei Yuanzhong and the others' attack on Erzhang this time is really not the right time, place, and people, this sudden accident made the court's attention completely diverted, and in the face of this far-reaching major state event, they could not continue to entangle themselves in the embezzlement case of the Zhang brothers without knowing the times.

The Tibetan envoy commented on Misa's arrival in Beijing and paid tribute to the Great Zhou court with 1,000 horses and 2,000 taels of gold. With a letter of state, he asked the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty to marry the princess of the clan to Zanpu in Tubo, and the thousands of horses of Liangju could not be brought into Beijing, so they were handed over to the Qizhou local government to receive them.

Compared to the stinginess that the Turkic Khan had always been when he silently proposed marriage. The tribute of Tibet is very grand. However, after the marriage, they received a more generous dowry. Even if the affinity is not allowed, the reward of the Great Zhou will be doubled, and the Central Plains Empire has always been thick and thin.

Wu Zetian received the letter of state, announcing that the next day in the Daming Palace Linde Hall to entertain the Tibetan envoys, after the officials of the Ministry of Rites brought the Tibetan envoys down to settle down, Wu Zetian immediately discussed with the ministers whether the Great Zhou would agree to the request of Tubo's relatives.

For a while, the ministers were dissatisfied. Turning heads and ears, the hall was buzzing, Wu Zetian frowned when he saw this, and glanced at the prime minister's class. Lang Sheng asked, "Wei Qing, what do you think?" ”

Wei Yuanzhong walked out of class slowly, gave Wu Zetian a long look, and said thoughtfully: "The minister remembers that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once said: 'Beidi customs, more internal affairs, that is, to have children, then my grandson, do not invade China, it can be known, in this regard, the border has been fine for thirty years'. ”

Although the name of the country in the world today is called the Great Zhou, Wu Zetian was enthroned as the emperor by his son "Zen throne to give up the country", which belongs to peaceful evolution. And Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty is her father-in-law, so Da Zhou is not too taboo about the affairs of the previous dynasty, and Wu Zetian himself often talks about how Taizong was doing, so Wei Yuanzhong is nothing to answer with Tang Taizong's words.

Wu Zetian stared at him and asked, "So, is Wei Xiang in favor of harmony?" ”

Wei Yuanzhong hesitated slightly, and replied, "Yes!" The minister thought that since Tibet had the sincerity of peace, why not marry it as a country of sons-in-law, and the people would be very fortunate if the two countries turned hostility into friendship. ”

Wei Yuanzhong is a princeling and loyal to the current crown prince Li Xian, but he also has a close relationship with Li Dan, the prime minister. He didn't hesitate because of this relationship.

He felt that if he wanted to make peace with Tubo, he could only marry the daughter of the prince, which would be detrimental to consolidating the position of the crown prince, but the marriage between the Li Tang clan and Tubo was conducive to the competition between the Li Tang clan and the Wu family, so it was difficult to choose for a while. But the emperor had already inquired, and he couldn't allow him to weigh it slowly, so he had to answer hastily.

"Wei Xiang's words are wrong!"

As soon as Wei Yuanzhong's voice fell, a tall civil official came out of the crowd, impassioned, and made a sound of killing: "In the third year of Zhenguan, Songtsen Gampo succeeded to the throne of Zampu, and then fought hard to quell rebellions in various places, and successively conquered the Subi, Duomi, and Yangtong tribes, trying to unify Tibet.

In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Songtsen Gampo was in the civil strife, in order to seek the support of our Middle Earth powers, he asked Emperor Taizong for marriage, but was refused! Not long after, he proposed again, but he was not approved! Songtsen Gampo then resorted to force and sent troops to Songzhou, but was defeated by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and the discussion of peace with relatives was no longer mentioned.

In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, Songtsen Gampo unified Tibet by force, and after the chaos, he urgently needed to be governed, and if he wanted to rule heavily, he needed to borrow the power of my Middle Earth, so he sent an envoy to the border again, and listed the help of craftsmen, agricultural books, culture, education, and political system as a dowry.

At that time, the Tang Empire was on an expedition to Goryeo, and due to the civil strife between the Eastern and Western Turks, the Tang Dynasty took this excellent opportunity to send troops to fight, and there was no spare strength to start a war on three sides, and then to fight with the Tubo who had just unified the army, and had to agree to make peace. According to this, those remarks are really a cover-up, Wei Xiangbo is through the past and the present, An Neng doesn't know? ”
