Sun Wuji, the uncle of the country, walked into the small courtyard where Tubo lived. When he saw it, he really wanted to cover his eyes. It was so miserable. It was a mess. This kid, Xiao Changle, really killed him!
"Prime Minister, I need to explain one thing first. Your Majesty did not know about the fact that Princess Changle brought people to fight. In addition..."
Lu Dongzan couldn't bear the humiliation and asked angrily: "You princesses of the Tang Dynasty, you are not strict in controlling them, and you still say you don't know anything? No, I don't accept this explanation! People beat and oppress us. Is this how the Tang Dynasty treats small countries like us? This is unreasonable!"
Changsun Wuji did not continue, but continued his speech, "In addition, the Prime Minister should have thought of today's matter."
What? ? ?
Have you thought of it a long time ago?
Why? I don’t know your princess...
What do you mean?
Lu Dongzan stared at Changsun Wuji with a puzzled expression, as if to say, if you don't give a reasonable explanation today, don't even think about leaving.
Changsun Wuji asked in astonishment: "What? Doesn't the Prime Minister recognize our Princess Changle?"
Lu Dongzan snorted: "I have been in Tubo all year round. This is my first time in Chang'an. How can I recognize your princess?"
"Then no one in Tubo recognizes you? Have you even heard of Princess Changle's deeds?"
"I have heard some stories, saying that Princess Changle is the Queen's biological daughter and the favorite daughter of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is the most gentle and virtuous."
puff……
Before he finished speaking, Changsun Wuji burst out laughing, holding his stomach.
"It's true, it's true... I don't know who told you, it's just a different story! Although as the uncle of Princess Changle, I am not suitable to say this, but the diplomatic relations between the two countries dare not deceive the actual situation. Yes, this kid Changle has nothing to do with what you mentioned above."
ah? ? ?
What does it mean? Aren't the princesses of the Tang Dynasty aristocrats raised in a boudoir all day long and pampered?
Changsun Wuji spread his hands and said, "What does it look like? You just saw it with your own eyes. Have you ever seen a princess riding a tiger to fight?"
Lu Dongzan shook his head.
Changsun Wuji asked in confusion: "You don't know anything, so you dare to come and ask for the princess? And you asked for Changle by name?"
"I remember that it was clearly written in your national certificate that the King of Tibet has admired Changle for a long time... You have been making trouble for a long time, and you are all trying to deceive us?"
Lu Dongzan quickly waved his hand and explained: "Misunderstanding, I have indeed admired her for a long time. I heard people say that Princess Changle is the most outstanding and virtuous princess in the Tang Dynasty, so I have admired her for a long time. It's a pity that I only heard about her virtuousness and never met her in person."
oh……
Changsun Wuji didn't bother with this, of course he knew that the other party had bad intentions.
"Haha, what about now? Changle is not what you imagined. Do you still want to marry me?"
"Of course, if you say it out loud, how can you go back on your word?"
"What if Changle's mount accidentally hurts the leader of your family?"
Forehead……
Lu Dongzan asked carefully: "Uncle Guo, I don't know why, why Princess Changle...she is so, so different?"
Changsun Wuji laughed loudly and said: "As the saying goes, the nine sons of a dragon are different! Among your Majesty's children, some like to study literature and some like to practice martial arts. The most gentle and virtuous among them is undoubtedly the eldest daughter Xiangcheng. Married to the talented champion of the Tang Dynasty. And Princess Changle is the one who doesn’t like red makeup and prefers armed weapons.”
"I don't like chess, calligraphy, painting, and embroidery. I prefer to practice martial arts, archery, and hunting. I am also good at taming animals. I especially like to collect exotic animals as pets. His Majesty loves her so much that he follows her. He invites famous teachers to teach her, and he usually follows her." Master lives in the mountains and is not in the palace. This is why she acted privately today and His Majesty did not know."
Hiss... Actually, there is such a thing?
"But, I have never heard that women can also practice martial arts and lead soldiers. Why?" Lu Dongzan was even more puzzled.
Changsun Wuji laughed loudly and said: "That's other people, or small countries like you. Not ours in the Tang Dynasty. There has been a precedent of female generals leading troops in the Tang Dynasty since the Wude period. The late Princess Pingyang Zhao of the Tang Dynasty was Changle's biological aunt. , that is the most famous and ever-victorious female general in the world."
"Changle has been influenced by this aunt since he was a child, and has always aspired to inherit her aunt's legacy. Your Majesty is also very fond of her, and has made a promise that when Changle comes of age, he will give Changle the women's army that Princess Pingyang Zhao once trained, so that she can Lead the Detachment of Women to return to its past glory."
What? ? ?
Changsun Wuji chuckled and said: "Xiangguo, what do you think? Under such circumstances, is Your Majesty willing to marry Changle to the head of your family? That is a general in the army that our Tang Dynasty has already scheduled!"
This this……
"I don't know if it's true!" Lu Dongzan also backed down, knowing in his heart that Princess Changle might not have any chance at all.
However, the matter of Tubo marrying a Tang princess is related to the development of Tubo in the next hundred years. If anything can be accomplished, how can it be a waste of time? The problem is, if I changed my vows and said it was another princess now, wouldn't it look bad-intentioned? Insincere intentions?
How to break this situation? Lu Dongzan's face looked ugly.
After thinking again and again, Lu Dongzan apologized and said: "Uncle, please tell His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty that we misunderstood the traitor's rumors and made mistakes. We really did not deliberately want to ruin Princess Changle's future. We Tubo sincerely wanted to marry the Tang Dynasty with good intentions."
"As for the matter of marrying the princess, I can no longer decide. I need to send someone back to ask my king for a decision."
Changsun Wuji advised: "It doesn't hurt to convey to you that our Majesty will not care about you."
"But, I have something to remind you. Among our current princesses, only Princess Changle is of the right age. The other princesses are less than ten years old and cannot marry away from relatives. Instead of spending time here, the Prime Minister might as well go back temporarily. Come back in a few years. You won’t have to waste your time here, and if word spreads about Changle, it will have a bad reputation in Tubo.”
this……
Lu Dongzan looked struggling, hesitated for a long time, and finally adopted Changsun Wuji's suggestion. After all, what they said is true. No matter how anxious Tubo is to develop, it should be done step by step. If things are done in a hurry and offends the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't it be self-defeating?
"Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Guo. In that case, I will bid farewell to His Majesty the Emperor tomorrow."
Changsun Wuji returned to the palace with a smile on his face. The emperor was overjoyed after hearing this, "As expected, the auxiliary machine is a very capable man. Tubo is a group of flies that can't get away, but it's hard to get out. I didn't expect to be persuaded by your few words." Return."
Changsun Wuji said modestly: "It's all thanks to His Majesty's great blessing. In fact, even if we keep them, they won't be able to make much trouble."
"You don't know that when I told Chang Le that he likes to practice martial arts and tame animals, Na Lu Dongzan's expression was frightening."
The emperor smiled and said: "You should tell him that the best thing in Changle is not martial arts, but the use of poison. If one day we are unhappy and kill that Songtsen Gampo with poison..."
"Ahem... Your Majesty, how can you say this? Changle is my niece. If the news spreads to the Tibetan people, who will dare to marry Changle in the future?" Changsun Wuji hurriedly interrupted.
When Li Er heard this, he immediately felt worried, "Yeah, it's not a good thing. Even if it doesn't spread, Changle's current reputation doesn't seem to be much better. Who dares to want it?"
"That's weird! I remember how well-behaved Chang Le was when she was little. When did she start to become so active? I can't stop worrying about her! I'm worried about her all day long."
…
I'm afraid I need to ask Xiao Rui about this question, because he is the culprit.
At this time, Changle had already arrived at Xiaojiazhuang on a tiger. Master finally gave him a day off to go out. This girl did not go back to the palace to visit her parents, but came to Xiaojiazhuang.
