A few days later, in the afternoon, Li Tiantu, who was sitting in the study of the Commander's Mansion, couldn't help but sigh with his hands on his cheeks. Since returning to Beijing and entering the court, he has not been able to think much about the affairs of his family and country, but the time for practicing has become less and less.

Su Ling'er had nothing to do, walked lightly to the back of Li Tiantu, and relieved Li Tiantu's troubled thoughts with a loose technique.

After pressing her ten fingers for a long time, the little girl with a clear mind finally couldn't help but ask: "Childe, I heard your sigh from afar, are you still worried about the war in the west?" ”

Li Tiantu felt that Su Ling'er's cultivation had improved again, and he was embarrassed and said, "Ling'er, this time you look down on your son-in-law." Childe, I sigh that my own cultivation has been stagnant, but Ling'er, your kung fu is a thousand miles a day. ”

After receiving Li Tiantu's praise, Su Ling'er pursed her lips and chuckled lightly as always, and said after a long time: "Gongzi cultivates the way of heaven, and Ling'er practices martial arts, how can they be compared?" ”

Li Tiantu suddenly wanted to catch something from Su Ling'er's words, but he never caught it. When he was trying to think deeply, the fat man Zhu with a panicked look on his face went straight in with a heart full of worries.

The first thing Zhu Fatzi did when he came to the study was not to ridicule Li Tiantu, but to kneel beside the desk with a "poof", and said sadly: "Big brother, please save the ninth princess." ”

Li Tiantu couldn't care about enjoying the gentleness of Su Ling'er's fingertips, Huo Ran got up and said, "What's going on?" ”

Zhu Fatzi, who had long lost his former demeanor, lost his soul and said: "The envoy of Tubo brought a dowry to marry the ninth princess for the new king of Tubo. ”

The Tibetan envoy arrived yesterday, Li Tiantu knew about it, and at that time, he received the will of Tianxuandu to lead the Tibetan envoy into the palace in the West White Tiger Gate of the Beijing Division. But what he never expected was that the purpose of the Tibetan envoy was to marry the princess of the Heavenly Empire.

After a short period of consternation, Li Tiantu sat down again, held his forehead and asked, "The emperor agreed?" ”

After seeing Li Tiantu, Zhu Fatzi seemed to calm down a lot, and shook his head when he heard the words: "Although the emperor has not expressed his position, the attitude of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military is very clear, I am afraid that it will not leave ten." ”

Li Tiantu is clear, what Zhu Fatzi said is right.

From ancient times to the present, the family of emperors has never lacked ruthless people. Although Tianxuan loves the ninth princess Tian Yixuan very much, if it is placed before Jiangshan Sheji and the supreme kingship, no matter how hot the father-daughter relationship is, it is nothing. Under the pressure of the heavy army of Tibet, if the Celestial Empire does not want to continue to move troops, there is only a way to make peace with relatives, which has a precedent at the time of the opening of the dynasty, and the peace of the recent half of Jiazi is the princess Heshuo of the Celestial Dynasty at the beginning of the dynasty in exchange for marrying the king of Tubo.

Seeing that Li Tiantu was silent, Zhu Fatzi said anxiously: "Big brother, only you can save the Ninth Princess, if you wait until tomorrow morning to make the emperor's holy decree, everything will be over." ”

Li Tiantu's mind was spinning, but he felt that this matter was tricky, and he was helpless, so he asked rhetorically: "Fatty, do you think that if I go to ask the emperor at this time, he will be extrajudicial to the ninth princess for me?" The ninth princess is not as good as me as a foreign courtier in his heart? ”

Zhu Fatzi was stunned, and immediately understood what Li Tiantu meant, he was concerned and messed up.

Li Tiantu said calmly: "Tubo moved 300,000 iron horsemen this time, and repaired the plank road to secretly Chen Cang, and changed the commander on the spot, do you really think that it is for the half-grown new king of Tubo to marry a princess of the Celestial Dynasty, if this is the case, Tubo will not confront the lord of the Central Plains for hundreds of years." ”

Zhu Fatzi sat down quietly, pondered, and said with a bitter face for a long time: "But what if we know, will the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty believe it?" ”

Li Tiantu said in a deep voice: "Not only will they believe it, but I'm afraid they have already thought of it." It's just that now Tianxuan doesn't dare to gamble, internal and external troubles. ”

Zhu Fatzi's face was full of doubts.

Li Tiantu said again: "After the Celestial Empire annexed Goryeo, it hurt its vitality. The Heavenly Demon Sect, which has emerged from top masters, has colluded with important ministers in the court, and compared to the Xuanji Gate back then, it is not much more reckless, which is an internal worry. As for external troubles, I don't need to say more. ”

Zhu Fatzi looked incredulous, and said in a low voice: "A Heavenly Demon Sect without military power can really shake the foundation of a country?" ”

Li Tiantu smiled indifferently and said, "Have you forgotten Xue Qianxun back then?" ”

Zhu Fatzi said disapprovingly: "The Xuanji Gate Snow Palm Order is different, after all, more than half of the Heavenly Family's ability to establish the country back then was the work of the Xuanji Gate, and the backbone of the army from the court to the third rank or above, down to the seventh grade or so, half of the military backbone was the Xuanji Gate, and the Snow Palm Order was able to be taken and requested in the palace at that time, which is not unrelated." ”

Li Tiantu knocked on the desk leisurely, noncommittal.

He was not a party to the matter back then, and it is difficult to consider the details. And now, no one knows better than him the terrifying Heavenly Demon Sect.

The Heavenly Demon Sect Leader Heavenly Demon injured General Ding in advance, and Ding was nowhere to be found.

The mysterious high priest also hit Kunlun Nu Agui again, causing his soul to return to Kunlun Mountain.

Tianxuan reused him, not without his intention to fight against the Heavenly Demon Sect. The Kunlun Temple and the Heavenly Demon Sect represented by his powerful Tiantu will not be able to escape the fate of your death and my death.

Li Tiantu's fingertips, which kept hitting the table, suddenly stopped, and said to himself: "The current Celestial Empire can only withstand a local war, such as the Battle of Xiliang, but it can't withstand any greater turmoil." Therefore, this time I am afraid that this time is only the first step, and Tubo's appetite is even greater, and he is aiming for the Western Regions! ”

Li Tiantu was shocked, this unconscious but logical speculation actually startled him.

At this time, Zhu Fatzi didn't care whether it was a full-scale war or the loss of the Western Regions, but he said dejectedly: "Big brother, do you mean that no matter what, no matter whether there is a big effect or not, as long as it can be alleviated for a while, it is a foregone conclusion that the Ninth Princess and the pro-Tubo will be in Tibet?" ”

Li Tiantu suddenly got up and paced back and forth in the room without saying a word.

When he walked to the window, he looked up at the sky, it was already the middle of the day, and no one had come to the palace yet, it seemed that tomorrow's morning Chao Tianxuan was deliberately avoiding himself who had always had a good relationship with Zhu Wenwu.

Li Tiantu, who was standing in front of the window, secretly made the decision to break into the early dynasty tomorrow.

In any case, the affairs of a country should not be left to a weak woman to resist. Otherwise, what is the use of asking these great men to stand against the wind? What's more, this woman is still the most beloved woman of his only brother in Beijing, Zhu Wenwu.

Li Tiantu turned around suddenly and said indifferently: "Fatty, you go back first." I will also go to the court tomorrow morning, and I will not sit and watch those old men of the full dynasty say high-sounding reasons, but take a weak woman in exchange for their own safety. ”

After Zhu Fatzi left, Li Tiantu thought about it repeatedly in his heart, and decided to meet someone.
