Chapter 169: It's Empty
"Your Highness Princess, don't we really have to think of a way to stop Zampu?" Hongfu's eyes were full of anxiety.
Datang is her homeland and her foundation, and when she sees Tubo encroaching on the motherland, she always feels very uncomfortable. But now, she married Tubo with the princess, to a certain extent, she is also half a Tubo, if Tubo is not good, she and the princess will also be implicated because of this, so the so-called prevention has become an empty talk. Alas, it was really a dilemma, and she completely understood why all the gods and nobles should regard and kiss each other like beasts.
"Even if I can stop him alone, what will the rest of the Tibetan nobles say?" Using a small pair of scissors to slowly cut the heart of the candle, Taoyao's beautiful silhouette is reflected in a blurred silhouette by the dim dancing candle flame, looking lonely and lonely. The ruler took Zhu Dan to the army to discuss matters, and he will definitely not come back tonight, but it is convenient for her to talk to Hongfu: "Besides, the queen mother surnamed Wulu is still in power, as long as she doesn't let go for a day, Zampu will be restrained for a day, and I, a foreign race, can be tun, but I am far less influential than her." β
"That'...... Then can we only watch the two countries go to war? In fact, Hongfu is also clear about the internal situation in Tibet, but she just feels that she can't do nothing. Didn't they come for the purpose of peace and friendship? Why can't it change in the end? This situation is inevitably too powerless and simply frustrating.
"Sister Hongfu, in fact, the situation in Tubo is also very poor, and the livelihood of the people is far more difficult than that of the Tang Dynasty." Tao Yao's voice was as calm as ever, different from Hongfu's anxiety and confusion, her mood didn't seem to be affected at all: "The war was launched to meet the needs of survival, and Tubo is too barren, even if we come, we can't save too much." Plundering and encroachment is the way out they can think of, and this is also justice in their eyes, if we really stop it, we will be at a loss to the people of Tibet. After a long time, you will also have a troubled conscience. "Moreover, her Royal Highness, a foreign princess, will be even more ostracized, not to mention that she will push the ruler belt Zhudan far away, I am afraid that it will be good to save her life.
Hongfu thought of the sights she had seen these days when she went out with Taoyao, the hungry homeless people, the scrawny children, and the herdsmen who were constantly moving and living in search of abundant water and grass...... Yes, even the small traders who can step on anyone in the gods seem to be a little more glamorous than them. If she forcibly stopped the war, it would be equivalent to ruining these hopes of life, and wouldn't she be about to cause a new tragedy.
When I think about it, it seems that everything I did was wrong. Hongfu's brain was a mess, and she could only look at Tao Yao with a blank eye: "Then what should we do?" Isn't it okay to leave it alone? β
"I'll still talk to Zamp." Tao Yao's mind came to the handsome man's language and demeanor, which was always particularly flattering, and his eyebrows couldn't help but be a little funny: "In addition, while repairing books for the Tang Dynasty and begging for more blessings and help, I tried to let the people of Tubo learn to cultivate and weave." There is some suffering in stopping war, but there is always nothing wrong with working for their well-being, and as long as the hearts of people are gathered and they know that there are other viable ways of life, there is still hope for change. β
A two-pronged approach is indeed a good way to address the root causes. It's just that not long after Tao Yao's letter was sent, he didn't even get a specific reply, and the sky of Shendu changed again.
In August of the first year of Xiantian, the comet passed through the world, and Li Dan, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, responded to the mandate of heaven, and Chan was located in the crown prince Li Longji, and retired to the position of the emperor, but he held the supreme ruling power, and there were great restrictions on Li Longji. Based on this, Princess Taiping's desire for power is becoming more and more vigorous, and she has openly proposed to abolish the emperor several times, but it has not been implemented because Prime Minister Lu Xiangxian resolutely opposed it and argued with reason. But at this point, the pair of aunts and nephews also completely turned their faces. The original secret fight in private was directly turned to the surface, and the two factions fought against each other, quite a never-ending posture.
And this struggle reached its climax in July of the second year of the first year. In order to regain the power that belonged to him, and also out of curbing Princess Taiping's ambitions, Li Longji led the Yulin army to launch a congenital coup d'Γ©tat, exterminated Princess Taiping's henchmen and killed them all. After seeing his son's style of acting so quickly and ruthlessly, Li Dan was also very interested, and when he obediently returned to politics, he also officially retired to the Baifu Palace, and since then he has been recuperating for many years, and has not appeared until the day he died of illness, which made people remember that there was such a emperor in this part of the palace.
His Majesty the newly ascended emperor is very different from the previous ones, and he is quite like Taizong and Emperor Wu. Not only set things right, sweeping away the extravagant and depressed wind of the previous generation, but also forging ahead, selecting talents and talents, and making great efforts, creating another glory of the Tang Dynasty and pushing the Celestial Empire into a very prosperous world. It is precisely because of this that Li Longji's attitude towards Fanbang is more open-minded and open-minded. He attached great importance to Princess Jincheng's letters, and not only responded to many pleas from this imperial sister, but also always left a line for Tubo.
As for the ruler belt Zhudan himself, after being repeatedly persuaded by his wife, he accepted the kind care from the Tang Dynasty, that is, no matter how much the Empress Dowager Wulu and other nobles persecuted, he only insisted on adopting gentle methods against the Tang Dynasty, and even made a covenant of friendship between the two sides and non-interference with each other. Therefore, due to the mediation of Princess Jincheng, in the more than 30 years since she married to Tubo, although there were frictions between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty due to various reasons, she never stopped peaceful and friendly exchanges. In this regard, Li Nunu, the princess of Jincheng, is a well-deserved hero of the Tang Dynasty.
In November of the 28th year of Kaiyuan, the princess of Tubo Zanmeng Jincheng passed away at the age of 42. When she was dying, Her Royal Highness the princess held a silk handkerchief that only half of "The Evil One" had been written, and her face was relieved. Zampu mourned, was sick for more than ten months, and ordered his wife to be buried in a grand manner. When the news reached the capital, His Majesty Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty left the dynasty for three days and mourned for the princess. In the Gao Mansion, Gao Xianzhi, who was then the general of the Right Yu Lin Wei, relapsed from his old illness, repeatedly vomited blood, and was in a coma for a long time.
After many years, probably finally lost the bond of Princess Jincheng, the long-dormant Tubo revived, began to invade on a large scale, and repeatedly launched a desperate battle with **, competing for the green ridge and the south of the region, and once occupied the big and small Bolu. And Gao Xianzhi was ordered to go out when the Tang Dynasty was repeatedly defeated, and was named the envoy of the camp festival by Li Longji, leading an army of 10,000 people to crusade against Xiao Bolu. In this battle, Gao Xianzhi used his troops like a god and strategized, not only swept away the decline caused by many previous defeats, but also broke the law of Xiao Bo, captured his king and the princess of Tubo who married him, and also shocked the seventy-two kingdoms of Zhuhu, including Da Shi, so that they all surrendered and did not dare to make waves again.
After this battle, the Tang Dynasty inflicted heavy losses on the Tibetan army, making it unable to compete with it, and also made the territory of the Celestial Empire unprecedentedly expanded, and truly entered the prosperous scene. And Gao Xianzhi was also famous because of this, and was respected as the king of the mountains by Tubo and other countries, and since then he has been afraid, and even when he hears his name, he has to retreat, which is almost to the extent that he can stop children crying at night.
Relying on this deterrent power, Gao Xianzhi stayed at the station near Tubo for many years, during which he repeatedly quietly left at night to pay respects to the tombs of the Tubo royal family. And the name of the person on the tombstone was something he was not familiar with but he missed deeply.
Li Nunu. He used to stand there for a long time, but he never called the name. In his memory, he remembered the woman he had for most of his life with eyes like peach blossoms, peerless appearance, and a smile like a blooming flower, which infected his heart on every warm spring day.
"Brother Huai Jin......" Only when he was standing here could he hear the girl calling him with a smile.
"Xiao'er, I miss you so much......" No matter how young he is, his face is full of wind and frost nicks, but the man is still as handsome as ever, and the corners of his lips are hooked up like the gentle young man under the peach blossom tree in Chang'an City: "Xiao'er......"
The girl in a wedding dress smiled like a flower: "Brother Huaijin, do you remember the song "The Evil"? β
Remember, what he engraved in his bones and dripping in his blood, how could he not remember? Gao Xianzhi smiled slightly, watching the woman slowly open her lips, as if she wanted to re-chant the oath she made when she was young.
"Break with you, and don't meet again in the next life." The girl's beautiful smile suddenly had the power to sting people's hearts at this moment.
yes, don't meet me. In that vast passing year, he lost her after all, then, never again.
A lonely man whipped his horse and disappeared into the yellow sand.
A song of the Tang Dynasty, like a poem and a dream, became empty in an instant.
