Hiss....

Li Xiaogong's chest exploded, he really didn't know what to do, at this moment he suddenly felt that he had been sticking to Hebei Road for so many years, it seemed that there was no point at all!!

Stick to the end, even your most responsible daughter didn't protect her, what did you protect? Yourself, what did you stick to?

And, if you still use the word "stick" to describe it, I'm afraid it is.... I'm afraid it's too insulting.

Stick to it yourself, and your daughter suffers?

Hahaha!

Li Xiaogong seemed to laugh.

However, his throat felt like it was stuffed with mud, and he couldn't laugh at all.

Li Xiaogong also wanted to cry, he felt a great grievance and powerlessness for his daughter.

However, he couldn't cry either, he really didn't know what to do.

For more than ten years, he has guarded Hebei Road, and he has never returned to Chang'an for many years.

He knows that he can't do without himself here, and Chang'an, his identity is also very sensitive.

After all, when the prince who was guarding outside returned to Chang'an, he would attract the attention and use of some well-intentioned people.

Therefore, he was considerate of His Majesty and the court, and he took it all on himself.

Anyway, this is all for the people, and it is also for the children to live with peace of mind in Chang'an.

But now?

Gone!

Shattered!

Exploded!

It's cracked too!

There is nothing left, nothing left.

Li Xiaogong's teeth were biting up and down uncontrollably.

He really couldn't stand it completely.

Li Xiaogong swallowed his saliva with difficulty, but in his throat, there seemed to be endless knives cutting!

Call....

Li Xiaogong exhaled two more breaths, and he felt a little suffocated.

Outside the door, his cronies, the generals of Hebei Province, were all standing outside, and they looked at the appearance of their prince, and their hearts were also like knives.

Naturally, they also knew about it.

Originally, this edict was issued to all the people of the whole world.

"Lord Wang, we....we follow you! You say, what should we do, or let's go back to Chang'an and take the county lord over. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, we listen to you, the county lord is so unfair, His Majesty is so reckless, it is unacceptable, unacceptable, Lord! Let's go to Your Majesty's theory, Your Majesty, you will definitely reconsider! ”

"Lord, Lord, Your Majesty is so unjust to us, Lord, we, we....Lord, let's listen to you!"

"His Royal Highness the county lord is smart and clever, if he marries far away in Tubo, this....His Royal Highness the county lord will definitely not agree, lord, or we will quietly go back to Chang'an and snatch the county lord!"

"Yes, Lord Wang, we are conscientiously guarding Hebei Road, if we can't even protect our family and children, we still guard a fart, Lord Wang!"

"Lord Wang...."

The group of generals outside the door were filled with righteous indignation.

Their hearts are really going to be fried.

Without any deliberation or any psychological preparation, the edict issued by Chang'an directly made all decisions, which made them unacceptable.

I don't ask what the county lord means.

Don't ask what the prince means.

After His Majesty and the eldest grandson Wuji Fang Xuanling Li Jing discussed, they dared to make such a decision directly, they couldn't accept it!

These border army generals can't accept it!

Li Xiaogong clutched the edict with both hands, his eyes were cold, and his face was a little distorted, he wanted to tear up the edict, but, after a long time, he finally let go of his hand.

Li Xiaogong let out another long breath, his eyes, gloomy, breathing, intermittent, and his face also showed a thick bitterness.

"Stand down, all of you."

"I'm feeling a little unwell and want to take a break."

"Also, help me, close the door...."

Li Xiaogong dropped the edict, held the table with both hands, got up slowly, and his steps staggered a lot at once, and his demeanor was as if he was more than ten years old.

Li Xiaogong lay on the bed with difficulty.

Cover your face with a quilt.

This undefeated legend who has been fighting on the battlefield for decades actually shed tears.

Hot tears.

….….….…….….

Datang, Chang'an.

The Tibetan mission entered the city.

A few days ago, I had already entered the city.

The people in Chang'an City have known this news for a long time.

After all, Chang'an has been somewhat calm recently, and the arrival of the Tibetan mission is like throwing a pebble on the calm surface of the lake, setting off ripples.

Not to mention, His Majesty also issued an edict.

It is said that he wants to build an alliance with Tubo for thousands of years, and in order to express his determination to form this alliance, His Majesty decided to marry Li Xueyan, the lord of Hejian County, to Songtsen Gampo!

As soon as this news came out, Chang'an exploded in an instant.

It's been three or four days, and it can't be calmed down.

It attracted hundreds of people to discuss, and at the same time, the people were extremely depressed.

Do you want to give the princess to a foreigner?

"Damn, calculate the time, Your Majesty has been around for the past few years, it seems that there will be some such moths every year, the first time I sent away His Royal Highness the Second Prince, the second time I sent Her Royal Highness Princess Changle, and then the third time I started to send the Lord of Hejian County, hiss.... Is Your Majesty's children enough? If you send it like this, in a few years, will we still have a prince and princess in Datang? “

"Who's to say it's not, besides, the environment in Tibet is even more difficult than that of the Turks, right? I heard that over there, if we ordinary people go up, we will be dizzy! “

"That's right, I've been to some cities in Tubo once, and my nose bleeds when I go up, and I can't stop bleeding, but in the end, fortunately, I came down quickly, otherwise, I would have died there."

"Damn, our Majesty......hey....when will our Majesty be hard? This time, Tubo didn't send troops, so he took the initiative to send the princess, since it was an alliance, why couldn't Tubo send a princess over? Isn't it different? Why do we send it out every time? ”

"Who knows, grandma, to be honest, I can't bear it anymore, I heard that this matter has not been discussed with the king of Hejian?"

"I don't know! However, do I know that the King of Hejian loves His Royal Highness the county lord very much, and now, Your Majesty is using all his resources to please Tubo, isn't he afraid of hurting the hearts of our Tang Dynasty soldiers? ”

"Hey, I can't say it, I heard that His Royal Highness the County Lord is very sad now?"

"But isn't it, it is said that all day long with tears on his face, poor His Royal Highness the county lord, is too distressed."

“….….”

Every person in Chang'an, as long as he mentions this matter, he constantly shakes his head and sighs with regret, with helplessness and deep helplessness on his face.

However, even if they wanted to help Li Xueyan, they were all powerless.

After all. This is a decision made by His Majesty, and it is discussed by hundreds of officials of the imperial court.

It's just that so many people discussed, and no one thought about discussing it with Li Xueyan and the parties.

.

….….…….….….

Imperial.

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin sat on it, his eyebrows furrowed, and his face was a little unpleasant.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Pei Lian, Qin Qiong and a large number of Tang Guozhu were all standing below.

Although it is not a court meeting, the current situation is similar to that of the court meeting.

"Recently, you should have heard all the words that the people talked about among themselves."

"Isn't it wrong to do so?"

"Heh...."

"No matter how you look at it, this is also the best way for my Datang."

Li Shimin's voice was a little low: "It's just a kiss, as long as the county lord of Hejian goes, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty will be reconciled forever." ”

"Now, Da Yan's side is pressing so tightly, and Tubo has come to my Datang from thousands of miles away, and the sincerity is already full, my decision is definitely right!"

"It's just a kiss, and it will be exchanged for Tubo's great help to my Datang, such a business is extremely cost-effective."

"You guys, you should know!"

Li Shimin's voice was full of determination.

Since the promulgation of this edict, some remarks in Chang'an City have made him quite unhappy.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you.

Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, and Cheng Yanjin didn't speak.

This matter, to be honest, they also disagree in their hearts, and they have also refuted it.

However, it can't stop the strong support of Pei Lian's clans.

Their ideas are the same as His Majesty's, such a business is too cost-effective.

You don't have to pay any price, you just need to marry someone in the past, and you can get support.

Who does not rejoice in this?

"Your Majesty."

The eldest grandson, Wuji, stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, you are right!"

"After all, the people are much more ignorant, they can't understand Your Majesty's good intentions, and in the eyes of the ministers, this matter is also harmless!"

"Moreover, it's not that the minister himself thinks so, Lord Pei, Lord Xiao, and almost the entire court and hundreds of officials think so, Your Majesty, that's right!"

"My Datang is in crisis now, if there is the support of Tubo, our Datang life will be much better."

"Moreover, and His Royal Highness the county lord is not young, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, it should have been married a long time ago, but it has been delayed, and the king of Hejian is far away in Hebei Province to guard the border passes, and it is estimated that he has no heart to worry about the affairs of the daughters in the family."

"Now that Your Majesty is helping the King of Hejian and presiding over the wedding of His Royal Highness the County Lord, I believe that the King of Hejian is also extremely happy."

"Besides, this is the King of Tubo, Your Majesty, such a family background is worthy of His Royal Highness the County Lord."

"So, in that way, it's a good thing."

"Isn't it, Your Majesty?"

"Therefore, the people are ignorant, after all, they don't know how to plan for the long term, and they only stare at the current one-third of an acre, hehe, I believe that in a few years, the people will understand His Majesty's good intentions!"

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

Indeed, this matter, from their point of view, is really good.

Li Shimin's eyes are deep.

He also nodded: "Good! ”

A smile appeared on Li Shimin's face.

"The people don't understand, so let time....help me rehabilitate."

Li Shimin was in a much better mood.

Below, Fang Xuanling and Li Jing glanced at each other, and they all smiled bitterly.

In this way, the king of the river has no time to worry about the affairs of the family?

Thinking about it, who doesn't know that the king of the river is extremely fond of the county lord, he just wants to make His Royal Highness the county lord happy, and he won't think about anything else.

"Your Majesty!"

"Let's do this, don't we want to say hello to the King of the River before."

"After all, the King of Hejian has always been outside, if this incident makes the King of Hejian feel a gap in His Majesty, the court, and the Tang Dynasty, it will be worth the loss."

"The minister thinks that he should send someone to invite the king of Hejian and discuss it together."

Fang Xuanling thought about it, walked out, and drank in a low voice.

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin's originally sunny eyes suddenly changed again.

His face was also gloomy.

"Your Majesty, no!"

At this time, Pei Lin walked out.

"Lord Fang, what you said is wrong, time is urgent, and the King of Hejian has no time to care about Chang'an!"

"It's really inappropriate for us to disturb the King of Hejian, besides, the King of Hejian is guarding Hebei Road, and now Da Yan is ready to move in the northeast, King Hejian can't leave there."

"Your Majesty, the King of Hejian is dedicated to the Tang Dynasty, he can definitely understand His Majesty's decision, and the minister thinks that he will definitely support His Majesty's decision!"

"The king of Hejian guards Hebei Road, isn't it for Your Majesty, for the Tang Dynasty, and for the people?"

"Now, as long as we are close, our Datang will have a big help, and I believe that the king of Hejian will be very happy when he learns the news."

"And Tubo and kin, no matter how you look at it, my Datang is taking advantage of it...."

"After all, we're just sending out a princess, or the county lord."

"And the Tubo side will become our rear, and the Tang soldiers who were once stationed in the Tubo side can also be freed to join the ranks of resisting the Great Yan!"

"This is really a great thing for my Datang, a great good thing, Your Majesty!"

"What Master Fang said is also a little short-sighted."

"With the heart of a villain, the heart of the king of the river, hehehe...."

Pei Lin refuted directly, smiled and glanced at Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

According to their ideas, it does.

After all, what they like the most is to send others to "sacrifice", and then seek benefits for themselves, and they also say that they are high-sounding, and they seem to think that it is wrong for others to disagree, that is, they are sorry for the world, and it is obvious that they are forcing others to put themselves on the moral high ground.

Ay....

Fang Xuanling sighed in his heart.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry or think about it."

"The ministers and others all agree to this marriage."

"The King of Tubo is also said to be a wise and martial artist, and His Royal Highness the county lord is really a perfect match!"

"I believe that His Royal Highness the county lord will be able to understand His Majesty's mind after a while, and he will definitely not hold a grudge against His Majesty!"

Xiao Yu echoed the situation.

Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and others looked at each other.

It really didn't matter what they said, they said it.

However, who ever thought about His Royal Highness the County Lord?

It's like they didn't think about His Royal Highness the King of Chu and Princess Changle at the beginning, and now, they are walking on the same path.

Isn't the previous lesson enough?

Moreover, Da Yan has perfectly shown that he wants to make a country strong.

Let the country be completely stable, and any fancy tricks are useless.

Only by strengthening oneself, only by developing one's own people, and only by thinking about the world in one's heart, can we succeed!

Besides, such a friendly family, if one day Dayan really moves troops towards the Tang Dynasty, will Tubo really help? Really won't fall into the ground?

No!

It's absolutely impossible!

Profit, in the end, is everything!

As long as Datang is about to die, Tubo will definitely go east and take the opportunity to eat a big bite.

Such a possibility is far greater than the so-called Tang Dynasty and Tubo Alliance, and it is also far greater than the so-called 10,000-year repair.
