Chiling is today's Sun Moon Mountain, it looks like a breath of fire from a distance, and it looks like blood up close, and it is named because it looks at the high mountain from afar, "the soil and stones are all red, and the red land is hairless".

It is located on the border between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, and is one of the important roads into Tibet.

If you choose to be in the market, it is indeed a good place to be here.

"Your Majesty, if it is a mutual market, there is a lot involved, and it seems that the old minister still has to discuss it." Fang Xuanling said to Li Shimin.

After all, the Tibetan envoy is here, and there are some things that cannot be said in front of him.

Li Shimin also felt that this was the truth, so he said:

"Tibetan envoys, this matter is indeed too involved, and I will make a decision after discussing it with the ministers."

"Your Majesty the Emperor, this time I came to Tibet with sincerity, and we Zampu are willing to reconcile with the Tang Dynasty and not invade each other.

Moreover, Zampu said that if His Majesty the Emperor could agree, Zampu was willing to marry Princess Samga to His Royal Highness King Ji and marry the Tang Dynasty. ”

Sanyang Donne said.

As soon as these words came out, the hall was quiet, and Li Shimin frowned and looked at Sangyang Donne.

Marry Samga to King Ji?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks this is a good thing, Tubo has been wanting to marry my Tang Dynasty for many years,

Now that we are willing to marry the princess of Tubo to our Royal Highness King Ji, this will help the peaceful coexistence between our Tang Dynasty and Tubo.

It's a good story. Shangshu Zuo Cheng Zheng Jingsi stood up and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the opening of the mutual market is beneficial to both of our countries, and it can also stabilize the border gates.

If there is no more war between the two countries, why not? Lu Chengqing, the waiter of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, also agreed.

"It's just that this matter involves King Ji, and the minister thinks that he will be making plans after asking King Ji." Fang Xuanling once again wanted to wait for the envoys of Tubo to leave and discuss privately.

"King Ji is the prince, and the matter of harmony is for the Tang Dynasty, and the minister thinks that as long as His Majesty agrees, it is enough." A Lang Zhong of the Pei family in Hedong stood up and retorted.

Next, the officials of the five surnames and seven wangguan and the eight families began to stand up and approve of the opening of the mutual market and marriage.

And the old faction led by Fang Xuanling's eldest grandson Wuji advocated that they could not agree immediately, and they needed to be decided after deliberation, and they did not agree to the marriage.

Li Shimin frowned as he looked at the arguing scene below, he was thinking about what the purpose of Tubo was.

It is not difficult to guess that the mutual market can be married, but the marriage is also named to marry King Ji, which is difficult to figure out.

"Okay, since you want to marry King Ji, let's listen to his opinion.

Come and summon King Ji into the palace. Li Shimin interrupted the argument between the two groups.

At the critical moment, you have to ask for this-stirring stick,

In fact, whether the mutual market can be opened or not is a dispensable thing for Li Shimin or for Datang.

And it doesn't matter if you marry or not, this is the embodiment of strength as a strong country.

Soon Li Shen hurried with a eunuch,

I saw Li Shen's hair messy and yawning, and he looked like he was being dragged out of the bed.

"Son, see Ayah. I don't know what Aya commanded when he summoned his son. After Li Shen gave Li Shimin a salute, he yawned again.

Li Shimin looked at Li Shen's appearance unchanged from when he was a child, and he was still so casual.

"King Ji, just now the Tibetan envoy said that he wants to make peace with my Tang Dynasty and cultivate the good of Qin and Jin, I don't know what you think." Li Shimin asked.

"Ha puppet~~~" Li Shen snorted again.

"Haya, are they going to sacrifice their princess, or are they going to marry our princess?

I don't think it's necessary to marry our princess, and it doesn't matter if you offer a princess. ”

Li Shen's eyes were half-squinted, his spirit wandered out of the sky, and he was now in a half-asleep state.

"His Royal Highness King Ji, Tubo is ready to marry Princess Samga to His Royal Highness." Wei Chi Jingde reminded.

"Well, that's good." Li Shen nodded, but soon felt that something was wrong.

"What, who's married to whom." Li Shen opened his eyes and asked loudly.

"Tubo Zampu asks to open a mutual market with my Tang Dynasty in Chiling, and for the sake of peace and stability between the two countries, he wants to marry Samga to you.

What do you think? Li Shimin sat on it and asked Li Shen.

"Marry me? No! How can this king be virtuous, how can he be worthy of the princess of Tibet,

Vice-minister, I bother you to go back and tell you that this king is not worthy, and you say to you Zampu,

Sorry, he's a good guy. Li Shen turned his head and said to Sangyang Donne with deep feeling.

Li Shen's words caught Sangyang Dune a little off guard, and also made the ministers present a little speechless.

His Royal Highness King Ji still spoke so incoherently, and even said that he was not worthy of being a princess of Tubo.

Everyone knows that Li Shen is refusing, but he shouldn't belittle himself so much.

Li Shimin's head was big for a while, and this son had entered the Ji King's tune.

"His Royal Highness King Ji, this is also to promote the mutual market between our two countries,

Mutual markets are beneficial to both our countries, not only to increase our interests, but also to enhance the friendly relations between our two countries, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Sangyang Donne persuaded.

"Oh, it turned out to be for the opening of the mutual market." Li Shen suddenly realized, and then continued.

"Well, there are indeed great benefits in opening a mutual market, and this king also thinks that opening a mutual market is good.

But forget about marrying a princess, let's only talk about opening a mutual market. Li Shen nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Ji also agreed that my Tang Dynasty and Tubo should open a mutual market, as we all know, His Royal Highness King Ji has made great achievements in business." Zheng Jingsi admonished.

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that you can listen to the opinions of His Royal Highness King Ji." The scheming Fang Xuanling surprisingly did not refute,

He knew that as long as King Ji was involved, then this matter would definitely not be so simple.

He also wanted to hear some of Li Shen's insights on the mutual market.

"Old Ten, since you also agree, let's talk about your thoughts." Li Shimin nodded.

"Aye, I don't have any idea of opening a mutual market, isn't it just to find a place on the border and exchange things for the two gangs of people?"

"That's true." Li Shimin nodded.

After hearing this, Li Shen asked Sangyang Donne:

"We can agree to open the mutual market, but you have to show some sincerity."

"Sincerity? What sincerity is His Royal Highness King Ji talking about? Sang Yang was stunned.

"Sincerity! You don't understand sincerity, how can you be a deputy minister?

It is the benefits, the benefits, what benefits can you give us when you open the mutual market. Li Shen looked at Sangyang Dunne with disdain.

"His Royal Highness King Ji, the opening of the mutual market is the interest of both countries, why should I give benefits to the Tang Dynasty?" Sanyang Donne was a little puzzled.

"If you don't give benefits, why should we open a mutual market with you? Do you Zamp think you're smart? Li Shen said disdainfully.

"This.... His Royal Highness King Ji, the mutual market is a matter of fair trade, and it is also a matter that can promote friendship between our two countries. Why...."

"Because you need us, and we don't need you." Li Shen interrupted Sangyang Donne's words.
