Capital Datang

Since the Han Dynasty, in order to ease the relationship between neighboring countries, especially the northern prairie people, the Central Plains dynasty sent the Central Plains women out countless times in the name of marriage to ensure the temporary peace of the border.Although countless literati and inkmen have whitewashed the marriage, they still cannot conceal the shame brought about by this behavior.

From the Western Han Dynasty when the first daughter-in-law was married to Maodun Shanyu in the name of a princess, until the early Tang Dynasty, dozens of princesses had been married to the grasslands. Marry far away, serve the rough prairie barbarians, put down all self-esteem, endure the bad habit of father's death and son attack, and finally, under the blow of the grassland wind and sand, a Han woman like a flower just withered away from home Thousands of miles beyond the Great Wall.

Although the Tang Dynasty was strong and prosperous, it never stopped marriages. However, compared with other dynasties, marriages in the Tang Dynasty, especially in the early Tang Dynasty, were stronger. For example, marriages in the Han Dynasty were generally because they could not beat others. So offering women to pray for peace, and the early Tang Dynasty is completely different, this is also related to Li Shimin's character.

Li Shimin is an arrogant and even a little arrogant emperor. His "character" determines that Datang will never trade women for peace, so Datang usually cripples, subdues, or even If the other party is directly destroyed, then Li Shimin will come forward and marry the clan daughter to the other party in the name of a princess. For example, this is the case with Tuyuhun and Turkic, but now it is very likely that a Tubo will be added.

"Hey~, I will never let my daughter from Tang Dynasty marry into Tubo!" Li Yin in the palace slapped the table.He stood up with an angry face and said.Capital Datang 184

"Liulang, don't worry too much. There is still time, he is just here to ask for marriage. Although there is a sign of consent from the father, at least it has not been finalized. We still have a chance!" Li Ke stood up and held Li Min back. He was pushed down on the chair again, and persuaded patiently.

In fact, in Li Ke's view, there is nothing wrong with getting married with Tubo, after all, such things have existed since ancient times.And it can also deepen the relationship between the two countries, so it is not worth making a fuss at all.But I didn't expect that when Li Yin heard about this, he immediately lost his usual rationality, and started shouting at Tubo on the road.And when the person sent out to inquire about the news came back to report, Li Min was furious, wishing he could run to Honglu Temple now, and kill that Songtsan Gambo with his own hands.

Songtsan Gampo did come here for peace, to be precise, in the name of peace, hoping to repair the rift between the two countries due to the Songzhou War.And after sending people to inquire about the news just now, Li Shimin was very moved by this marriage, and had already discussed it with Fang Xuanling and others, and did not get too many objections.Even now, they are already considering the candidates for marriage.

"Third brother, you don't understand. Tubo is a plateau wolf, and he is not familiar with it at all. Now that I am powerful in the Tang Dynasty, naturally I don't need to be afraid of them, but you also saw Songtsan Gambo today. Only those eyes It can be seen that the other party must also be a rare hero. If we get married now and give the other party a chance to breathe, then I dare to say that within 20 years, Tubo will definitely become my confidant of the Tang Dynasty!" He couldn't sit still, and as soon as he was pressed down by Li Ke, he immediately started wandering around the room again.

What he said is not groundless. During Li Shimin's reign, Datang did have great military exploits. Except for Goguryeo, there is almost no record of major failures. Even Goguryeo cannot be said to be defeated. It can only be said that it has not reached the final stage Its strategic purpose, and regained Liaodong, laid the foundation for Li Zhi to destroy Goguryeo in the future.

However, during Li Shimin's reign, he made a fatal mistake in diplomacy, which was to allow the development of Tubo, and Princess Wencheng's entry into Tibet brought a lot of advanced agricultural and industrial technologies, which made Tubo's productivity straight Rise, and soon grow into Datang's strongest opponent.

When Li Zhi was in power, Tubo, whose minions had been sharpened, began to compete with Datang for control of the Western Regions, and even threatened the safety of the Silk Road on land, which directly led to the second war between Datang and Tubo. However, contrary to the result of the Battle of Songzhou, this war with Tubo was the biggest defeat in a foreign war since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and this was the famous Battle of Dafeichuan in history.

The Battle of Dafeichuan not only caused Datang to lose the four towns of Anxi, but also lost control of Tuyuhun, making Tuyuhun a separate division of Tubo, which greatly increased the strength of Tubo. Although the Tang army recaptured the four towns of Anxi, It was also fighting with Tubo, which greatly consumed the country's power. Even later, even Chang'an was recorded as being captured by Tubo. Such a shame and humiliation were almost all caused by Li Shimin's marriage policy.

"No, I'm going to see my father, and I must make him give up the idea of ​​a marriage!" Li Yin was also in a mess, without the calmness and wisdom of the past, and only wanted to mess up the marriage as soon as possible. But he didn't think about the method at all.

Fortunately, there was a calm Li Ke beside him. Seeing Li Yin walking out, he immediately grabbed him and said, "Liulang, can you wake up, although I don't know why you don't want to make peace with Tubo, but at least you have to pay attention to it." Let’s figure out how to do it, if you go to the palace to meet your father, and your father asks you why you can’t get married, how should you answer?”

"This..." Li Yin was stunned for a moment, his head that had been knocked out just now finally regained some clarity.Marriage marriages have existed since ancient times, and in his emperor's father's opinion, Tubo was already defeated by the Tang Dynasty, and this time he proposed marriage in a humble manner, which was also in line with Li Shimin's arrogant mentality. If he tries to persuade him not to get married now, he can't even find a reason to do so. After all, he knows the future direction of history, but others don't?

"Sixth brother, you are more familiar with the affairs of the court than I am, so help me think about it, how can we stop the marriage with Tubo?" Li Yin felt that his mind was in a mess when he was soaked in the rain outside and caught the wind and cold. , The temples were also swollen and painful, and I couldn't think of any good way, so I had to ask Li Ke for help.

However, his question stopped Li Ke from asking, because in his opinion, no matter how you look at it, getting married with Tubo is a matter of great benefit and no harm, so Li Ke bowed his head and thought. After a long while, he finally said helplessly: "Liulang, I don't know why you are so wary of Tubo, but from the point of view of father, no matter whether you will fight or make peace with Tubo in the future, you can only fight against Tubo now." Appease, after all, since last year, Datang has wiped out Goguryeo and Gaochang in a row, and severely damaged the Western Turks. Although because of you, the treasury is very full, but don't forget, war is not only about logistics, but also a large number of troops. Consumption, so in the next few years, my Tang Dynasty will probably not have any major wars!"

Li Ke's analysis of the current situation is very clear. Indeed, after repeated wars in the Tang Dynasty, even if the treasury has money, the materials stored in the country have almost been consumed, and even domestic prices have begun to rise. If the fight continues, It is likely to cause domestic instability due to high prices.

After Li Yin finished listening, he felt his temples on both sides of his head swell even more. At the same time, his mind was buzzing like a train was passing, and he even felt a chill approaching all over his body. It seemed that he was suffering from the rain. The wind chill is getting worse.

At this time, Li Ke also noticed Li Yin's strangeness, and reached out to touch his forehead, only to find that it was a little hot, and at the same time, an unnatural flush appeared on Li Yin's face. Not daring to delay, he directly asked Gao Zhong to call the imperial doctor in the palace to give Li Yin a diagnosis and treatment.

After the imperial doctor prescribed the "medicine" for Li Yin, Wen Xin from the inner house hurried over after receiving the news, and ordered the servants in the mansion to settle her husband, and then asked Gao Zhong to thank Li Ke on his behalf, and sent him back to the mansion. Then he personally boiled the "medicine" and fed it to Li Yin.

"Wen Xin, please don't let Xi Jun come. I have a cold and it's contagious!" Li Min was so burned that he didn't know whether Wen Xin could understand what a cold is. He closed his eyes and felt weak. Said.

"Husband, don't worry, sister Xijun is in good health now, I have already had someone tell her not to come!" Wen Xin now has a bit of a womanly demeanor, although she is a little flustered because of Li Min's illness, However, it was handled in a comprehensive and orderly manner.Capital Datang 184

"That's good, then..." Li Yin felt relieved after hearing this, muttered for a while, and then slowly fell asleep.

The so-called sickness comes like a mountain, and goes away like a spinning thread!Li Yin responded to this sentence this time. The illness that occurred in the afternoon was already very serious at night. His body was burned like a soldering iron, and the skin all over his body was glowing with an unnatural red color.Seeing this situation, Wen Xin was frightened into chaos, and didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Jing Wen'er reminded him, and hurriedly sent someone to invite Sun Simiao over, but the other party saw Li Yin's situation abnormally. Hehe laughed straight, and then sent someone to fetch the alcohol for disinfection, stripped Li Yin and wiped it with alcohol, so as to lower Li Yin's body temperature.

This method was something he had heard from Li Yin when he was chatting with him a few days ago, but he didn't expect to use it on Li Yin today, so Sun Simiao lamented the wonder of the world.

As the alcohol evaporated, Li Yin's body temperature really dropped, and then Sun Simiao modified the "medicine" prescribed by the imperial physician a little bit. There was no big rebound in body temperature.Before dawn, Li Shimin brought Concubine Yang, who had just conceived, to the Qi Palace to see his son, only to find that Li Min had fallen asleep, and after hearing Sun Simiao's statement that his illness was under control, he felt relieved.

At this time, Concubine Yang didn't care about her dissatisfaction with Wen Xin, and took her hand and told her for a long time, nothing more than asking her to take good care of Li Yin, etc. Finally, Concubine Yang reluctantly returned to the palace. Xiao Shengping asked her to take care of her.

It was a coincidence that Li Min's illness happened. Leaving aside the matter of the Winter Games, Li Ke could find someone to help him, but he delayed the matter of preventing Tubo from getting married.But on the third day after Li Yin fell ill, Li Jingheng suddenly came to the door with a little girl crying!
