Datang Library

Chapter 234
In Chang'an City, the Tai Chi Hall of the Imperial Palace once again has a big court meeting!

The minister of Honglu Temple went out to the class and played: "Your Majesty, the envoys of Western Turks handed over the letter of credence to Honglu Temple a few days ago, claiming that they want to propose marriage for their little prince, and they are asking for the daughter of Ren Chengwang Li Daozong!"

"You mean, Western Turkic wants to marry me, Princess Datang?"

"Exactly!"

Li Er said dissatisfiedly, "No, although my Tang Dynasty has trade relations with the Western Turks, the two sides are enemy countries. They killed my Xuanjia soldiers the day before yesterday, and now they want to marry my daughter of the Tang Dynasty, my daughter of the Tang Dynasty. , do not marry the enemy!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" A group of generals shouted in unison!
At this time, Cui Junsu, Minister of Rites, said, "Your Majesty, no! The two countries still have trade relations. How can we talk about an enemy country if war has not been declared?

And since ancient times, barbarian countries have admired our Central Plains culture, and it is a good thing for barbarian barbarian kings to marry my Central Plains princess and get married. This is exactly what they want to make friends with us. The old minister thinks that this is feasible! "

"Your Majesty, ministers and others!" All civil servants echoed in unison!

Li Er frowned, and said slightly angrily, "Marriage? All marriages in the past were forced to get married to avoid the disaster of war!
Now that my Tang Dynasty is strong and prosperous, Siyi dare not look directly at me and wait for Daofeng, so why should she marry her daughter?

He is a barbarian who has no etiquette and no education. How can he marry my daughter of the Tang Dynasty?

And sooner or later my Tang Dynasty will have a battle with the Western Turks, why should I send my daughter to the opponent? "

Cui Junsu stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, since ancient times, those who are warlike will surely die! Don't start a war lightly, as the war will surely bring disaster to the people. Regardless of victory or defeat, my Tang people will surely suffer countless casualties!
The ancient wise kings all ruled the world with benevolence, how can your majesty take war with others as normal?
Although the Western Turks have enmity with us, but now they are willing to make friends with us, that is, they want to put down their hostility and no longer use weapons. The Central Plains is a country of etiquette, so it should be treated with courtesy. From now on, we will be in-laws and we will no longer suffer from wars. This is a great thing, and the blessings of the common people! "

"You!" There was anger in Li Er's eyes!

I saw Wang Yushi came out of the class and said, "Your Majesty, it has been possible to exchange marriage between the two countries for an end to war since ancient times, and this time is different from previous marriages. Why don't we make it a good thing, and it can be regarded as a good talk!"

Cheng Yaojin said angrily, "You old man, whose daughter is willing to marry a prairie barbarian? If you think so, it will be a good idea, marry your daughter!"

"Hmph! The little prince of the Western Turkic court proposes. His status is not low, and he married a daughter of the Great Tang clan as his main wife, not a princess of the Tang Dynasty. His attitude is low enough, why not?
You reckless man, do you know how to speak rudely?

It's a pity that people look down on the old man's daughter. If he wants to marry the old man's daughter, who can contribute to the peace of the Tang Dynasty, the old man will naturally be willing, but what he wants is the daughter of King Ren Cheng! "

All of a sudden, the military generals became noisy, who would like to make a kiss?Whether it is to exchange women for peace or not, it is an insult to the general!But the civil servant must insist on using the ancient method to promote a good talk, so the two groups began to fight!
Li Er looked at the chaotic court from above, and said angrily, "Enough! Since this matter involves King Ren Cheng, then I can't just tell the Western Turkic envoys to discuss it after King Ren Cheng returns to Chang'an!
Retreat! "

Li Er, who was furious, flicked his sleeves and walked towards the harem, still thinking in his heart, how to explain to Li Daozong when such things happened!

Not long after, news spread in Chang'an City that the Western Turks came to ask for relatives. It was not the princess who asked, but the princess who was the king of the Tang Dynasty, as if the princess was more precious than the princess!For a while, everyone became interested in this little princess who had never seen him before!

In Rencheng Prince's Mansion, Li Daozong's wife rushed to the palace to see the queen after hearing the news. After learning that it was true, she burst into tears. How could she marry a prairie barbarian with only one daughter?It's too far to be tied to your feet, absolutely not!
But as a woman, it is not up to her to decide such a big event. The queen's eldest grandson said that the court has quickly passed on the trust that the city king is back!
The news quickly spread to Zhongnan Academy!
Bai Fan looked at the secret report in his hand and started to shoot the case!

This is obviously because the Western Turks came here for Shuofang's wool business, and Li Daozong was stuck in their wool business because he instructed him. After such a calculation, he actually got Li Daozong involved. Otherwise, even if the Western Turks came to propose marriage, it would only be I beg Princess Datang, she will not be an unknown princess!
After some contemplation, Bai Fan wrote a secret letter and handed it to the disciples of the Beggar Gang to bring it back to the chief rudder elder!
He sneered and said, "Marriage? Use a woman to buy peace with you? That's the past tense. With me, Bai Fan, if a daughter of the Tang Dynasty marries a foreign country, I will be considered incompetent!"

Early the next morning, there was a rumor in the city of Chang'an, saying that the imperial court was extremely disgusted with the marriage, and His Majesty also said: No marriage, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies!

Li Er looked at the imperial censor's memorial in his hand, and was still thinking in his heart that he had never said these words, although he thought so too, but in the face of the pressure from the court, what he said was in vain. They are most willing to do this kind of marriage in exchange for peace, and they will agree to it even if they crash into the court!
"Bai Fan did this, right?" Li Er asked without looking up.

Who to ask?There is no one else, so naturally it is Lao Gao, the servant!

"Returning to Your Majesty, it was indeed reported by the disciples of the Beggar Clan. Hou Lantian has already handed over the memorial, which is on your case!"

Li Er searched for it, and finally found it!

After carefully reading Bai Fan's writing, he nodded. This kid has a clear understanding of foreign marriages. Since you are the one who harmed Daozong, then you should solve the matter. If you can't solve it, go and talk Daozong apologize!Li Er replied a secret letter to Bai Fan!

After Bai Fan received Li Er's instructions, he became more daring. He quickly sent a letter to Li Daozong, slowed down his schedule, and gave himself time to solve the problem. Once Li Daozong came back, it would not be Bai Fan's turn to call the shots!
Send out disciples of the Beggar Clan again to publicize that the little prince of the Western Turks is born stupid, his limbs are incomplete but disabled, and he is not worthy to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty!
The common people exploded in an instant, can a cripple and a fool marry our princess?How unreasonable!

Public indignation is the most frightening thing. Several Western Turkic envoys who lived in Honglu Temple felt the deep malice all around them!

The Zhenzhu messenger hurriedly asked someone to help draw a picture of the prince of Western Turkic, and watched it all over Chang'an, which calmed down the anger of the people!

Ten days later, there was another court meeting, this time Bai Fan also came to court, although he did not enter the court hall, but the rank of Lantian Hou is not low, and he is still under Wei Zheng's name!

Shady tricks won't work, you can't break the marriage, you can only be upright, can't these veterans say it?Then let's have a verbal battle against the Confucians!

"Your Majesty, the envoys of the Western Turks are urging again on the matter of asking for marriage, and they still suspect that our King Ren Cheng is deliberately delaying and neglecting!"

"Your Majesty, since King Ren Cheng won't be able to come back for a while, His Majesty can make the decision. The reconciliation of the two countries is a state matter, and since they are the daughters of the clan, His Majesty can make a decision with one word!

The veteran thought that in order to show his sincerity, His Majesty could also confer the title of the little princess who is the king of the city as a princess, so that it would also appear that my Tang Dynasty is not bullying a small foreign country! "

Li Er was about to get angry, but Bai Fan had already yelled in advance, "Old man, are you a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, or a lackey of the Western Turks?"
