"Father, if you are so heartless, I will be very sad. The map was found by me, and the compass and telescope were also figured out by me. I have made so many preparations for the voyage, but my father is so cruel. Can you really bear with the results of your son?"
Li Sixu tugged on Xuanzong's sleeves and said coquettishly: "Father, think about it, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty sent his most beloved princess and his son-in-law who killed the Tibetan commander to go to various countries as envoys to establish friendly alliances. Isn't this better than sending Are ordinary envoys more sincere? Can they shock people's hearts more?"
"When big countries like Tianzhu and Dashi feel the sincerity of the Tang Dynasty, will they be more willing to form alliances and exchange their needs?"
Li Sixu winked and smiled coquettishly: "Father, please think about your wise and mighty conscience, does what I said make sense?"
A wise and wise conscience?
Xuanzong almost laughed out of anger at her!
But when I heard that she meant to let Li Linhuai accompany him on missions to various countries, Xuanzong's eyes lit up.
He was worried about what to do with Li Linhuai, who had made great achievements.
If the Tubo commander was killed and his military achievements were wiped out because he was granted a marriage to the princess, he would obviously be sorry for the generals who fought for the Tang Dynasty.
And if he was allowed to successfully advance to the rank of general, he would not want his princess to be wronged.
Do you have to have both?
Not to mention that the General's Mansion cannot be preserved, Yu'er and his prince are really being feared, and may have a difficult time in the future.
After he agreed to Li Linhuai, he still refused to marry him, precisely because he had so many concerns in his heart.
Now that his princess has handed him a ladder, all the problems seem to be solved.
On the vast sea, if she is not careful, she may never return. She is going to sail, and Xuanzong is naturally extremely reluctant to do so. But if Li Linhuai accompanies her, the plan to form an alliance with Dashi and Tianzhu can come true.
Also, the most powerful thing about this girl is that she hits his vitals.
It is true that when he governs the world, he always pursues the goal of benefiting the people. With Yu Wenrong sent to Ruzhou, the national treasury is likely to be stretched for some time to come.
And if the navigation matter can proceed smoothly and we can do business with coastal countries in the name of the imperial court, why worry that the national treasury will not be full?
"You just said that the person who killed the Tubo commander was my son-in-law. When did I promise to marry you and Li Linhuai?"
Xuanzong calmly pressed down the map and played with the compass in his hand: "I haven't granted you a marriage yet, but you regard the boy from the Li family as your husband. Are you ashamed?"
"What are you ashamed of? He is a son-in-law!"
Li Sixu winked and smiled delicately: "Erchen is a very handsome man in his life, and he is one of the most handsome men in a million. He has always been the big koi carp raised in Erchen's fish pond."
"Father, don't always think that he is plotting against his son. It is his son who has been plotting against him since he was a child!"
What kind of bold statement is this?
Eunuch Yang and King Anxin suppressed their laughter. Xuanzong felt that the shameless girl in front of him had lost his sight.
"How long have you been back in the capital and you want to run away again?"
Xuanzong chased her away angrily: "Go away, don't let me worry one by one. I will make a decision after discussing with your mother and concubine later."
"Father, my son and Li Linhuai are really the better candidates to form an alliance as envoys. With the lucky star of my son, it will definitely come true."
Seeing that Xuanzong was so angry that he almost threw her out of the imperial study room, Li Sixu quietly made a face at King Anxin: "Well, father and uncle Wang can continue to discuss things. My son is very obedient and will return to Ganlu Hall obediently." Waiting for the good news from my father."
When Li Sixu left, Xuanzong was very angry: "Look, people who look good are actually the ones who make me the most angry."
"What a careless girl!"
He complained to King Anxin: "This girl just returned to Chang'an, and she wants to leave me and Yu'er again."
After seeing the way their father and daughter got along, King Anxin realized that this was how Shi Yatou got along with her father.
King Anxin was a little sad: "You are so inconsiderate. I can't ask for anything I want."
King Anxin said, "If you feel uncomfortable, you might as well give it to me."
Xuanzong looked at the things placed in the wooden box on the royal table and suddenly felt proud again. He ordered Eunuch Yang: "Come up an edict for me. Li Linhuai has meritorious service in killing the Tibetan commander. I will grant him the title of overseas economic envoy. Choose a day." Marry my tenth princess."
Although the economic envoy is a temporary official position, when war breaks out, it is equivalent to the position of commander-in-chief, a second-rank position.
The little girl's operation was equivalent to preserving Li Linhuai's military exploits in killing the Tubo commander, and at the same time, the emperor was willing to grant a marriage to her and Li Linhuai.
During this period of time, he and Li Kailuo had felt sorry for this affectionate couple. Unexpectedly, because the little girl presented the map and compass, things would actually take a turn for the better.
Only then did King Anxin realize that from the very beginning when he returned to Beijing and dealt with Yu Wenrong, this girl had been planning step by step for today's marriage and to keep Li Linhuai's military exploits.
What a human spirit!
The emperor's plan to form an alliance with Tianzhu and Dashi must be carried out quietly in secret. Everyone thought that this strategic envoy was just a second-level official, but they didn't know that one day, he would become a blockbuster and shock the entire Tang Dynasty.
The key is that such an arrangement will only make people think that she wants to do business overseas.
It will not cause turmoil in the court situation, and it can divert the former court's harem's fear of Concubine Yu and the young prince, and at the same time ensure the interests of the general's palace.
This move of chess can be said to kill three birds with one stone!
She is worthy of being someone who has played chess with him. This little girl is really a master that makes him ashamed...
After Li Sixu left the imperial study, Liu Yunying, who was following her, was puzzled. Because Liu Yunying was too silent all the way back to the Ganlu Palace, Li Sixu had to stop and look at her.
Only then did Liu Yunying ask her doubts: "Did the young master really send people to Quanzhou to get the map he presented to the emperor? The young master has never told Yunying about this matter."
"Of course not, I was lying to my father."
Li Sixu winked at her and smiled: "That map was drawn by Sisi!"
"Then little master..."
It was just a map, and Liu Yunying would not think about it for so long.
The question is, if this map was drawn by her princess, even though the princess has traveled and practiced medicine over the years and is well-informed, she has only been to Shu and the border fortress. Why are the coastal countries on the map so clearly marked?
As the head of a country, the emperor's royal study must have maps of border countries.
Neither the emperor nor King Anxin questioned the map drawn by his young master, which proved that there was nothing wrong with the map drawn by the princess.
Liu Yunying was full of doubts: "Then why does the young master insist on saying that the map was obtained from Quanzhou?"
