Chapter 36 Marriage

3days ago traverse Novels 3
The imperial court exchanged two letters of nationality with Tubo, and invasions occurred in both the Western Regions and Jiannan.

The Tubo king Chidezanbu claimed to be young and defended himself in his letter: My nephew, who is aware of the superiority and inferiority of the princess Wencheng and the present-day princess Jincheng, dares not be rude.He was also young and was in vain to be slandered by the border generals, which made his uncle accused him of being a little surprised.

The Tang Dynasty had decided to send Jincheng into the foreign country in mid-April, so she replied: Princess Jincheng, my biological daughter, has long been in the palace, and she said it is far away, so why don’t she recite it!

But as a parent, I am grateful to Li Yuan. If I pray sincerely and make peace, I will be at the edge of Ning Yan and rest in the military service.

He then gave up Shen Ci, and for the national plan, he was built outside the building, received the honorary ceremony, and surrendered to the Tubo and praised the Pu.

Princess Jincheng is the daughter of Emperor Li Shoulisheng, but she was adopted by Emperor Zhongzong of Tang and was considered the adopted daughter of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang. According to her nominal generation, she turned out to be the younger sister of her biological father.

But since Li Shouli became the emperor, no matter how he calculated it, the princess Jincheng was a real princess, which was unquestionable.

So Li Shouli also felt a little sad.

Princess Wencheng, who used to be married to Tubo, was actually just a royal family girl; now she wants to give her real princess.

Out of father-daughter relationship, Li Shouli personally summoned Jincheng, rewarded many gifts, and issued an order to make a dish of red worms for Jincheng to practice.

Jin Cheng was also unfamiliar with his biological father, and he couldn't even understand his generation, so he could only call him Your Majesty.

The father in Penglai Palace was having a relationship, but Taiping in Zichen Palace was discussing major events with the ministers.

As soon as he received an urgent report from Longyou, a Tubo department set out from Shicheng Castle to attack the border, burned, killed and robbed along the way, and the Hexi Corridor was also threatened by him.

The ministers in the court were talking a lot, and the Minister of War Zhang Shuo suggested that the new Hexi Jiedushi Cheng Qianli be the chief marching manager to launch an army to fight.

However, most court officials did not support it, because since the late Wu Zetian period, all the powerful generals who were good at fighting were cleaned up, and the new group of generals had not yet grown up and there was no one available. In addition, the military system of the government was severely damaged due to land annexation and severely weakened. In the past, the moon was flown to the Moon, but now due to insufficient troops, many soldiers have not returned home for several years or even ten years.

The most important reason why several prime ministers did not say it was because the political situation was unstable. The new regime should have been consolidated during this period. If a war broke out, it would definitely affect the stability of the court's structure.

Xue Chongxun was also present during the court discussion. Today he was calm and did not raise any objection.

Dou Huaizhen stood up and said: The national policy of reconciliation cannot be changed for the time being. Use Jincheng to enter the foreign countries and try his best to promote peace and win time. After our country stabilizes the dynasty and reforms the recruit system, it will not be too late to fight again.During this period, we only need to try our best to maintain the system of the four Anxi towns and prevent the expansion of Tubo from the east, and the situation can still be controlled.

Xiao Zhizhong, who has a close relationship with Dou Huaizhen, also supported his suggestion. He said: Tubo Zanpu succeeded to the throne for more than ten years, but he has been unable to control the country because he was young. Now he also needs time to rectify his internal affairs. He has so many proposals for marriage in recent years.Therefore, Tubo has no desire to attack our country in a large scale for the time being, and stopping the troops will be beneficial to both sides.

Taiping pondered for a long time before saying: Yesterday, Your Majesty told me that he was reluctant to part with Jincheng and wanted to send him to him in person.Now there are dangers in Longyou and Guanzhong. We must protect His Majesty's safety. I decided to let the Minister of War Zhang Shuo lead the soldiers of the Southern Yamen to protect him. The itinerary on April 15th will not change.

At this moment, Xue Chongxun held a polite manners and said: My mother, my son, please lead the Flying Tiger Regiment to defend His Majesty's side and side... and also send Princess Jincheng to see him off.

Taiping glanced at Zhang and said, hesitated for a while and said: OK, Your Majesty should also bring the imperial guards when he goes abroad, so you can go.

Xue Chongxun said: My son is determined to be a mission.

After the group broke up, he came out of Zichen Hall and went straight to the imperial guards' residence at Xuanwu Gate to find Zhang Wulang, asking him to prepare his itinerary and escort the emperor to see the bride.

On April 15, the first year of Changyuan, the emperor personally sent the marriage team to set off from Chang'an and sent many dowry. In addition to tens of thousands of pieces of silk, there were also jumbled craftsmen and Kucha band. Among the entourages, many of them belonged to technicians, carrying the most advanced agricultural and industrial technology of the Tang Dynasty.

It really conforms to Xue Chongxun's view that marriage once is equivalent to significantly improving the social productivity of Tubo.

A team of more than 2,000 people left Chang'an in a mighty manner and arrived in Guanzhong Shiping.

At this time, they received news that Longyoudao had entered Chang'an, and the Tubo noble Lang family led their troops to break through Shanzhou and destroy the city.

When Li Shouli found out, he was very worried and decided not to continue traveling west and to return to Chang'an.

After he stopped, he felt that the road to Jincheng was uneven, so he told Zhang to protect him at the San.

Zhang Shuo said with a stern face: The things from the marriage team were originally given to Tubo. They would not rob their own things if they wanted to rob them. Your Majesty was at ease.

Li Shouli said with a slutty bow on his back: It was given to Zampo from Tubo. Who knows whether those below listen to Zampo?

When everyone heard this, they looked strange and thought to themselves that he was talking about himself?

Zhang Shuo said: The civil strife in Tubo has ended for ten years. Qinling (the general in the Battle of Dafeichuan) family was slaughtered by Zanpu. Now no one can disobey Zanpu's wishes, let alone stealing his people and things. Your Majesty should not be confused by the letters of the Tubo people.

At this time, Xue Chongxun noticed that the curtain of Jincheng's carriage moved gently and opened a corner.Xue Chongxun felt sad. She must be blaming herself for not saying a word and watching her enter the tiger's den.

However, Xue Chongxun did not act recklessly because of this.

According to the established method, he clasped his fists at Li Shouli and said: I asked the soldiers of the Southern Yamen to escort Your Majesty back to Beijing, and asked me to escort the princess through the eastern section of the ancient road, and then go back after entering the Tubo border.

Zhang Shuo was a little unhappy and said: I have led my army to protect His Majesty.

Li Shouli thought for a while and said: The inner city is still peaceful, there is no need to worry about my safety. However, Jincheng is very worried... As the King of Hedong asked him to send him a while, it would be better to have more people.

After all, he was nominally the emperor, and no one disobeyed his wishes in such a thing, and Zhang Shuo said nothing.After Li Shouli finished giving the instructions, he watched the team travel west, and he himself was about to hide back to the capital.

Zhang said that after the group split the road, there were more than a thousand people and horses, carrying tens of thousands of silk, gold, silver, jewelry, and various objects, and walking very slowly.

At this speed, it will take less than several months to reach the city of Lusa (now Lhasa).

The journey is long and hard, and no one wants to live such a life. Jincheng, who grew up in the palace, is suffering too much.

The route is to follow the ancient road, a road that was found a hundred years ago.

Follow the north bank of the Wei River and cross the Longshan Mountain to Qinzhou, and continue to go west to the Niaoshi Mountain to Linzhou; travel northwest from Lintao, cross the Yellow River through Hezhou and enter Qinghai; then go northwest through Longzhicheng to Shanzhou.

When everyone arrived at Shanzhou City, they could have taken a break to replenish their supplies, but they saw that Shanzhou was ruined by the war.

I saw many officers, soldiers and people inside and outside the city were transporting bodies with chariots, and some were digging holes outside the city.

When everyone walked to the city gate, they saw a civil servant in red robe walking out with a team of cavalry. The civil servant looked at the people on Xue Chongxun's side, dressed in luxury, took out a piece of paper, and said: Are you the team of Zhang Ge Lao, the Minister of War?

Zhang Shuo came forward and shouted: Is it my official?Who are you and what are you doing?

The official dismounted and said, "Liu Ne, the governor of Liangzhou, is... summoning the people to bury their bodies."

Zhang Shuo said angrily: Where is the governor of Longyou Dao? Where is Tao Anmin?

Liu Ne said in a deep voice: Shanzhou has fallen, and the envoy Tao feels that he is not effective in fighting and has committed suicide and apologized.

Damn mediocre!Zhang Shuo cursed angrily, "A such a major city was actually captured like a person who took a puppet, and he could not escape the death penalty!"

Liu Ne was named after her, and she was slim and expressionless, but she said angrily: The official has received the document, is Zhang Ge always going to send the princess to Tubo to marry?

Zhang Shuo looked back at the messy city, and he was a little embarrassed and said a word.

Just then, a shout came over: To move the ladder, you go find the secondary ladder and take the child off.

When everyone heard this, they looked back and saw a spear stuck in half of the city wall. A child who was still in cradle was nailed there. I really don’t know how it was hung up.

After the army was overwhelmed, the round-headed general Li Kuiyong beside Xue Chongxun had the loudest voice and shouted: "Dear to a baby!"Send the princess back to Chang'an, let's find the Tubo army to decide the outcome!

The generals said angrily: I've hit the door, why are you talking about? Just fight!

Zhang Shuo said coldly: What's the use of just shouting?If you fight, why didn’t Tao Jun win?How can the court sit and watch? Everything must be arranged, and wars and major plans cannot be said by you!

Xue Chongxun said: Although Shanzhou is destroyed, the road ahead is far away. Let’s go to the city to rest first.

Zhang said that he agreed and summoned the governor Liu Ne to find a slightly intact house in the city, prepare food, etc.

Everyone followed the miserable streets to the city. Xue Chongxun said to Zhang Wulang: Let everyone see what the foreign races did to us. When they fight in the future, don’t worry about your own fear of death!

Everyone walked around the collapsed houses and corpses, and they were silent.

The corpses of those people were basically not worn, and they were all humiliated before being killed.

It is the most miserable that there is a female corpse in the corner of the wall. Her intestines are pulled out from her lower body, but she doesn't know what kind of adultery they have encountered, which makes it so miserable.

This medieval war had no humanitarianism at all. Once defeated, the civilians would be the ones who suffered the most.

Zhang Wulang said angrily: I think it’s so fucking cowardly. Isn’t it all going to marry and negotiate? War is still happening. What’s the sincerity of Tubo?

Liu Ne, a civil servant who brought them into the city, took the speech and said: The border conflicts have never stopped in recent years. The Tubo people called "Beat Qiufeng". They came in and grabbed a handful of them when they had nothing to do. Especially in the autumn, when there were fat horses, there were enemies almost every day, and Zhucheng in Longyou also closed the city gate during the day... We heard that we wanted to marry each other and thought that they could be safe for several months, but we didn't expect that others would not give face to this critical moment.

Xue Chongxun said calmly: They knew that the Tang Dynasty was in a civil turmoil and were fearless, so naturally they could not control it for a moment.
