In June, Yin Shen sent an envoy to Tibet and finally returned to Beijing.

In order to show his sincerity, he specially sent the fourth prince Tsering Nyima to send a letter of state, and sent an envoy to Chang'an with Yin Shen, the young secretary of the Honglu Temple of the Great Zhou, to sign a truce and peace agreement with the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty on behalf of Tubo Zanpu.

Although Yin Shen's victory this time stemmed from the premise that the two countries were at war and the Tubo was defeated, the faction headed by the eldest prince among the Tubo royal family and nobles was still ambitious and unwilling to agree to the peace conditions of the Great Zhou Dynasty and completely break with the Turks. After weighing it for a long time, and seeing that the Turkic momentum was like a rainbow, he decided to listen to the advice of the Great Prince's faction.

In addition, although in the battle of Chiling, the Tubo lost troops and lost Shanzhou and Songzhou, but the eldest prince's faction fell behind in the battle for the storage position in order to prevent the mistake of taking on the fallacy, and still advocated that it would not stand with the Great Zhou, maintain the previous alliance, and cooperate with the Turkic army that had concentrated its main forces in Shengzhou, and attacked Chiling again, and the shame of the defeat of Yixue.

Yin Shen sent an envoy to Tibet, although he was allowed to pass and received by Solang Pingcuo, but if Tubo Zampu finally listened to the advice of the anti-Zhou faction, Mo said that it was very likely that he would return with a feather, and he might even be taken hostage, of course he would not let Tubo succeed, threaten the Son of Heaven with himself, and agree to conditions that were unfavorable to the monarchy, and he was ready to die for the country.

However, because Ju Shinan entered Tibet in the early stage, he has gained the trust of many nobles, and with his news and matchmaking, Yin Shen has of course also learned a lot about the inside affairs of Tubo.

For example, although the competition between the crown princes of Tubo is not as fierce as that of Northern Liao, the storage position is vacant, and the factions behind several princes will certainly not humble each other - the queen is the third prince, but a serious illness caused deaf and dumb when she was a child, and she no longer has the qualifications to compete for the crown, although there are two princes in the ninth and twelfth, one is born dull, and the other is still young, and they are not favored by Solang Phuntso, and the eldest prince's biological mother is the queen's in-law family, similar to the concubine of the Great Zhou, and the queen is helpless, so she naturally hopes to push the eldest prince to the throne first.

The second prince and the fourth prince are compatriots of the same mother, and the foreign family is a Tibetan noble, and his maternal father and uncle are deeply valued by Solang Pingcuo, although Solang Pingcuo is more fond of the fourth prince Cima, but Cima and his brother are in harmony and have always supported the second prince to compete for the crown.

Yin Shen also learned that although Cima was fighting for power with the eldest prince's faction, he opposed his political views of uniting with the Turks to invade the Zhou State, and for another reason, Cima did admire Chinese culture and did not think that expanding the territory beyond the Chiling Mountains could make Tubo rich and strong and become the hegemon of the world.

Yin Shen took Cima as a breakthrough, and after several mediations, he finally persuaded Suo Lang Pingcuo to abandon the Turks and make peace with the Great Zhou, and Cima sent an envoy to the Zhou State this time, in addition to signing an alliance, in order to show the sincerity of the peace negotiation between Tibet, the four princes of the dignified palace are likely to become the heirs of the future crown prince's brother, and even voluntarily stay in Chang'an, such as one of the many envoys sent to Zhou, but there is an extra layer of meaning as a hostage.

As soon as Cimafu entered Beijing, on behalf of Tubo Zanpu, that is, his father, he once again expressed to the Zhou State that Shan Zeng Ngawang and other Tibetan soldiers had insulted and killed the subjects of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and submitted a confession, confirming to He Ye that behind the atrocities of the Tibetan soldiers was the instigation and instigation of Dongying's envoy Kurita Mayang.

Regarding this Dongying nobleman who was once very trusted by Empress Dowager Wei, he was not executed together with Chai Tatori and others, but of course he will no longer be treated as an envoy, he is already in prison, He Ye has already asked Dongying for his guilt, and he needs to wait for Dongying's response before determining how to execute.

However, of course, He Ye will not hide the crime for Awata Mayang, he announced to the world - Dongying's envoys have sinister intentions, and they are the key accomplices who caused the barbarian soldiers to kill innocents, and he was not executed for the time being, not because the Great Zhou was afraid of Dongying, but because this was by no means Awada Mayang's own personal behavior, allowing him to live, but to condemn Dongying, slaughtering the city and humiliating and other atrocities, Dongying must bear the responsibility.

And for the reconciliation between the monarchy and Tibet, driven by many clans and scholars, public opinion will naturally tend to be tolerant - war needs to pay a price, and the people will often bear the brunt, since Tubo has surrendered to the Zhou to negotiate peace, and is willing to send troops to fight against the first evil Turks, and even the heirs of the Tubo kings have sincerely apologized to the subjects of the Great Zhou, although those women who have suffered humiliation, as well as the people who died tragically under the butcher's knife, can neither completely heal the pain nor come back from the dead, but the murderers of violence have compensated with their lives, Even the Tibetan royal family bowed their heads and admitted their crimes, which was considered to be a return to justice, and the people did not embarrass the Tubo prince Cima who was willing to form an alliance with the Great Zhou, and they hoped that under the leadership of the empire, such as the Turks, such as Tiele, and Dongying, these initiators would one day pay the price for the atrocities.

However, among the people who have never been involved in the struggle for power, there are gradually discussions, and some people realize that the initiators are not only foreigners, but the culprits who caused the disaster are Empress Dowager Wei and her followers, but these people, who are neither imprisoned nor admit their crimes, still enjoy the glory and glory, and even want to assassinate the emperor and queen and take power again.

Even since the promulgation of the new policy, Wei, Xie, Yuan and other cronies of the Empress Dowager did not dare to openly disobey, and even took the initiative to return the land they had occupied over the years, and the tenants who were forcibly accepted, the people did not tolerate these gates, such as Wei Yuanping and Xie Raoping, and even encountered the "attack" of blocking the road and even rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves - although Yuan Dezhi was spared, it was because he had been deposed, and he had been a man with his tail between his legs for two years, and he even did not dare to travel behind closed doors.

Contrary to the treatment of Wei and Xie Erxiang, Yin Shen, as one of the heroes who contributed to the Tubo Zhou, since the day of returning to Beijing, the people spontaneously greeted each other, and heard that Yin Shaoqing was promoted to a free rider because of his merits, and the people were even more celebrating, respectfully calling him Yin Gong, these days, causing the family members in Yin's mansion to purchase fruits, vegetables, grains, millet, etc. in the city, the vendors actually refused to accept money, and the people who were humiliated by the female relatives of the family, there was no lack of initiative to eat the accumulated chicken eggs and silkworm pupa, etc., and chose the best ones to give to them, Mrs. Ruan politely refused several times, The people refused to give up, but quietly left them outside the door like thieves, and turned and hurried away.

The princess's mansion was built with high-rise buildings.

At the beginning of the morning gathering, Tong'an was on the top of the tall building, looking at the officials who entered the court, riding this must pass through one by one, although the distance was far away, but she could always accurately locate Yin Shen's figure in the crowd, she watched him dressed in a purple robe, and went to Danfeng Gate in high spirits, she thought, it turns out that this is the real reason why you abandoned me?

Sometimes she would also go to the amusement garden outside the Zichen Palace, stay in the pavilion with a slightly higher position, and at a closer distance, look at Yin Shen after the face of the saint and discuss the government, the black gauze and purple robe, passing by in the gap between the flowers and leaves, he seemed to have never noticed that she was watching here, but Tong An believed that he knew.

But he chose to ignore it after all, just as she didn't dare to be serious and stubborn, and abandoned everything to burn the boat and break the cauldron to stand side by side with him.

Sometimes Tong'an is also extremely resentful of not being resolute enough.

You can't move forward resolutely, and you can't turn around resolutely.

So she was depressed day after day, watching him go straight forward, hiding aside and suffering.

She is obviously a princess of a country, but everything she wants, God is so stingy that she refuses to give even half of it. Because she is a princess, she must be amined; Because she is a princess, the people she loves have to abandon her; Because she is a princess, she can't even admit that she has a late encounter with her lover.

Why was she born into the royal family, and why did she become this golden branch and jade leaf with nothing?

Tong An is also impulsive sometimes, she wants to rush into the Zichen Hall again, beg her uncle, tell him that she repented, she doesn't want to fulfill anyone, she just wants to get what she wants.

In this world, no one really cares about her in the first place, so why does she need to care about the ridicule of others?

But such an impulse has not yet condensed into a brave decision, so a drop of morning dew on the blade of grass in this season, when it encounters a sunny and smoky wind, will be shattered without a trace.

obviously has nothing, but there are still too many people and things to care about, which are all invisible shackles that bind her and make it difficult for her to move an inch.

Sometimes I can't sleep all night, even if I don't live in the palace for a long time, Tong'an can't really be happy.

Yin Shen is like a spell to her, the more determined she is to ignore it, the more she will grow into vines, and even grow sharp thorns, entwined and clinging to her body, stabbing every inch of pain.

Tong An likes to listen more and more to those idlers, talking about Yin Shaoqing's anecdotes, as if as long as he sits and listens, this person will not be like reality, and he is not familiar with her.

In particular, how Yin Shen contributed to the "great achievements" of Tubo's surrender was even more attractive to her.

Tong'an promised the Son of Heaven and would no longer entangle, and at this time she was no longer willing to be with Ruan Yu, so she couldn't go to Yin's house anymore, and it was even more impossible for her to take the initiative to invite Yin Shen to talk.

Fortunately, there are people who can satisfy her curiosity.

It is the Tibetan prince Cima.

Therefore, Cima became a frequent visitor to the princess's mansion, and this matter did not attract the attention of idlers, and even when He Ye heard about it, he just laughed at it.

Because His Majesty the Emperor has a good impression of Cima.

This heir of the Tubo king, not only rode and shot, but also dabbled in poetry and songs, put on a white robe, hand-cranked folding fan, although the complexion and facial profile are still different from the Zhou people, but the graceful bearing, more than the cultivation of conversation, far better than how many gentlemen - even Xue Xuanzhi also sighed at Cima's knowledge, especially the skill of qin rhyme, the most important thing is that Cima has not yet married a wife, and has also expressed many times that he is willing to stay in Dazhou for a long time, set an example, and show that the two countries will always repair the alliance.

Although there is a hostage meaning, but in order to show the demeanor of a great country, He Ye will of course show courtesy to Cima, and will not treat him as a hostage.

His Majesty the Emperor is worried about Princess Tong'an's life's life, and he heard that Tong'an favors Cima, and Cima obviously has the sincerity of marriage, but he thinks that if the two can fall in love, it will be the best of both worlds.

But He Ye was not in a hurry to promote this, because he was not sure whether Tong'an was really emotional, and secondly, Tubo's sincerity also needed to be confirmed by his actual actions.

If Suolang Phuntsok did not send troops as agreed, and even the crown prince of Tubo was finally selected as the eldest prince, then it would be impossible to really reconcile between the two countries, of course He Ye did not want Tong'an to be involved, and his niece was already ill-fated and could no longer withstand any trauma.

He Ye still had a wait-and-see attitude, and he didn't even make another move to tell Shi Niang in advance, because Tong'an's marriage could only be decided by him, the emperor, so as not to lead to the deepening of the contradictions.

But!

There are so many ill-intentioned people who get in the way.
