Chapter 683: Nanzhao Asks for Marriage

"It's almost ready, it's a long way to the Western Regions, and there is a shortage of supplies there, if you don't bring all the things, there is no place to buy them when you get there."

After Mrs. went out, Cheng Yanjin's face immediately became stiff, this era pays attention to strict fathers and mothers, especially when facing their own sons, fathers are not smiling, Cheng Yanjin is like a killing god at the moment, in fact, he is also a little worried.

If he was five years younger, Cheng Yanjin would not worry about his sons, let them go to the army but beat them hard, without the tempering of the war, how could their sons become talents?

But as he grew older, Cheng Yanjin slowly understood that he was now old, and his future dependence would be on these two sons, so when these two sons went to the battlefield, Cheng Yanjin thought of the cruelty on the battlefield again, the sword in the northwest battlefield was eyeless, and these two sons ......

"Back to my father's words are already ready, although Lord Zhao's letter did not say it explicitly, but there is no general guarding the border of my Datang Dynasty, which is also a very dangerous thing, so after discussing it with my second brother, the two of us brothers thought about setting off overnight and arriving at the Gaochang border as quickly as possible."

Although Cheng Chumo is speaking to his father, it is like being in a big camp in the army, which is also a habit developed since childhood, Cheng Yanjin has regarded these two sons as his generals since he was a child, which also allows these two sons to better integrate into the life of the army.

"There is nothing wrong with the ideas of the two of you, our father and son are deeply favored by Jun, so we have the current Guogong Mansion, everything must be based on the interests of the Tang Dynasty, I have nothing to explain to you, after arriving on the battlefield, fight bravely to kill the enemy, remember that you are the people who went out of my Cheng family, and you can't give me Cheng to bite the gold and be ashamed."

Cheng Yanjin originally wanted to tell his two sons to pay attention to safety, but he couldn't say the words when he came to his mouth, and finally said these words, and the two sons didn't feel anything wrong, after all, when they were on any task before, their father was all these words, and both of them were about to memorize them, and it was precisely because of this that the two of them had nothing to be nervous about, but had some expectations in their hearts.

Every time I led my troops to the front line, I had some promotions after I came back, and now the two of them are not too high in the ranking among the sons and brothers in Chang'an City, and I am a little sorry for Cheng Biting Jin's name, but fortunately I got the opportunity this time, and the two of them are ready to seize the time to brush up some experience.

"Follow your father's teachings."

The two brothers knelt in front of Cheng Yanjin.

Cheng Yanjin also wanted to explain some other things, but he instantly thought of himself, why was he such a mother-in-law, when he went to the battlefield, he was not as old as these two guys, and no one explained to him that he would come over before he could say anything like that.

"Then you can go, and I wish my son a smooth journey."

Cheng Biting Jin waved his hand, the old housekeeper brought three bowls of wine, the three of them didn't drink for the first time, they drank the bowl as soon as they picked it up, the two brothers arched their hands at Cheng Biting Jin, turned around and prepared to leave.

Regarding the fact that the two brothers set off overnight, after the generals of Chang'an City knew about it, they all said that Cheng Yanjin's two sons were characters, including Li Shimin, and they were all praised.

The next day, the imperial court also issued a holy decree and handed over all the affairs in the northwest to Li Xiang, and the holy decree did not say anything else, but just let Li Xiang handle it at his discretion.

After the ministers heard this holy decree, they all frowned one by one, this is tantamount to delegating power, but it is not necessarily a good thing for Li Xiang, if you deal with it, this is the emperor who has the courage to use you.

If you don't handle it well, then you have betrayed the emperor's trust, how can you handle things like this? When the time comes, it is normal for you to be guilty of negligence.

But this is all the emperor's operation, the ministers except for kneeling down the mountain and shouting long live, they don't have any opinions, not to mention that the holy decree has been written, which represents the emperor's strongest will, if you have an opinion, aren't you looking for excitement for yourself and the Qian family?

When he was about to retreat from the court, Li Shimin glanced at it, Li Ke, the king of Wu, did come to the court, but because he knelt in the temple for a night, the whole person had no spirit.

After coming to the study, most of the people went out, the prime minister and the eldest grandson Wuji stayed here, and the other was Cui Daozhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

He came here to have important things, Nanzhao sent an envoy, hoping to marry the Tang Dynasty, of course, people are not here to marry the princess, people have long known the national policy of the Tang Dynasty, the three princesses in the country have just come of age, and they hope to be able to choose a prince and grandson to complete the marriage.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu came here to stop, the relationship between Nanzhao and the Tang Dynasty has always been very good, the border between the two countries is almost the same as the unfortified, and people will send tribute every year, which is different from the countries of the Western Regions, and the tribute sent by people is still valuable.

"It just so happens that both of you are here, and you both share your opinions."

Li Shimin thought about his sons and grandchildren, there are indeed a lot of adults, who should be asked to marry this daughter-in-law?

"If you go back to the emperor, although there are many princes and grandchildren of the right age, they have already married their wives, although Nanzhao is a small country, but it has a good relationship with my Tang Dynasty, if you don't make it a wife, you can't say it."

Fang Xuanling, as the prime minister of the dynasty, has the right to speak no matter what kind of thing, he thought carefully about Li Shimin's sons and grandsons, there are indeed many people at this age, but because Li Shimin wants to spread the leaves, he has a wife at a young age.

What Fang Xuanling said also makes sense, how can people also be princesses of a country, if you marry someone back as a concubine, it will be a bit too much, then it is not two families who are married, but two families who have a feud.

"Is it possible to find a clan man of the right age..."

The eldest grandson Wuji thought of Tang Gaozu's son, since the abdication, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan has not been idle, he has been sown hard in the harem, there are a lot of sons, and there are many that have not been clarified, speaking of which, this is Li Shimin's half-brother, and the marriage between the two countries that should also be crowned princes in the Tang Dynasty can also be said.

"No."

After the eldest grandson Wuji's words came out, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling jointly denied it, after all, those people are separated by a layer, and it is already very face-saving to be able to give them an empty prince, and let them marry on behalf of the Tang Dynasty?
