Chapter 388: Elephant

In the Imperial Study.

The oil lamp is flashing.

Li Shimin, Li Tai, Changsun Wuji and others are all there.

Li Shimin's henchmen are basically here.

Except for Wei Zheng.

Li Shimin sat on the first place, looked at Li Tai, and asked: "Qingque, now it is rumored that you have taken a fancy to the princesses of Tubo, Zhangxiong, and Nibora, what do you mean?" ”

"Father, father-in-law and future father-in-law, in fact, I passed on this matter." Li Tai smiled slightly, and there was a hint of mystery on his face.

"Qingque, everyone has this love for beauty, but your story is boiling, and for ordinary scholars, it is just a romantic affair." The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Tai and said, "However, you are the prince, which is not good for your reputation." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji has consciously stood on Li Tai's side.

Therefore, it is very important to maintain Li Tai's reputation.

"What the eldest grandson Shangshu said is right, King Wei is the prince and the son of His Majesty, and the rumor of this matter is boiling and detrimental to the majesty of the royal family." Du Ruhui said.

"Your Highness, it's not appropriate at this time."

"Nowadays, many scholars in Chang'an are saying that His Royal Highness is a prodigal."

“……”

The ministers said one after another.

"You don't know about it, I don't think it's fun enough." Li Taile said hehehe: "I also want the whole world to know, so that many tribes on the snowy plateau know." ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin's eyes showed a hint of curiosity, and said: "Qingque, you are the smartest prince in the Tang Dynasty, I believe you have your own reasons for doing this, while everyone is here today, you can tell everyone why this is." ”

"Father, fathers-in-law and future fathers-in-law, the snowy plateau is a mysterious place, and the people on the plateau are the ancient Qiang people." Li Tai began: "The Qiang people are a branch of China and have lived on the snowy plateau for many years. ”

"The environment of the snowy plateau is harsh, compared to the Central Plains, it is a wilderness, and many tribes living in this wild land have one characteristic - warlike and warlike."

"Aggressive, like the ancient Xiongnu, the modern Turks, and Goguryeo. The place where they are poor is poor, and if they are poor, they will think of getting rich, so how can they get rich as quickly as possible? ”

"Plunder! The Central Plains has been rich since ancient times, and naturally it has become the object of plunder. Since Songtsen Gampo unified Tibet, he has fought a lot of battles with the Tang Dynasty. ”

I have to say that the Tang Dynasty and Tubo are really a pair of families who love each other, from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Tang Dynasty, the war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty has not stopped.

"Nowadays, the snowy plateau is divided into various tribes, the most powerful of which is Tubo, followed by Yangtong and Zhangxiong, and then the Subi tribes. There is often a scuffle, and the war is not like this. ”

"Even so, Songtsen Gampo's Tubo army still goes down to Dafeichuan from time to time to quarrel with the Tang soldiers, if one day Tubo dominates the snowy plateau, it will be a big enemy of the Tang Dynasty." Li Tai sighed.

Then, he said: "And what I want to do now is to let the three kingdoms of the snowy plateau stand together, or the four countries will fight, the five countries will fight, and the seven countries will fight." ”

"As far as I know, Songtsen Gampo wants to marry the princess of Nibhara, wants to use the forces of Nibhara to dominate the snowy plateau, and at the same time wants to marry his sister to Li Mixia of Zhangxiong Kingdom, and then marry Li Mixia's sister, through marriage, devour Zhangzhung little by little."

"And what I did was to sabotage his plan, which is a hundred-year plan for my Datang." Li Tai said with a deep look: "Compared with the interests of Datang, what is my grievance, this loss of reputation?" ”

"King Wei Gaoyi!"

"For the vanguard of the princes."

"Gao Yiya."

“……”

Many ministers whispered one after another.

Li Shimin was also touched by his son's sanctimonious appearance, and he dared to move so much that he almost shed tears.

"This ...... How did Wei Wangtai know? Gao Shilian's brows furrowed slightly: "The Tang Dynasty and Tubo are thousands of miles apart, how does His Highness know?" ”

"Oh, I ordered someone to find out about it." Li Shimin hurriedly said.

The things of bad people can't be made public to the world for the time being.

Li Shimin has to wait until the bad people have developed to moisten things silently, and there can be bad people everywhere before announcing it, and even if he wants to oppose the ministers at that time, it will be too late.

Li Shimin thought that what Li Tai knew was the news he got from Shang Nang and others.

"In this case, then let's meet the envoys of Yang Tong and Zhangxiong." Li Shimin said with a smile.

It seems that his son is really unprofitable and can't afford to be early.

"Tomorrow, I will order someone to go to the Three Kingdoms to ask for marriage, what are the names of those three princesses?" Li Shimin happily stroked his beard and said.

"Saimaga, the sister of the Tibetan Zanpo Songtsen Gampo, the sister of the Zhangxiong monarch Li Mixia, and the daughter of the king of the mud bhara, the princess of Ruler Zun, Brikuti." The smile on Li Tai's face was quite bright, and he said, "Dad, you must distinguish it clearly." ”

"Don't worry, do things for the father, and you will be your bridegroom with peace of mind." Li Shimin laughed, quite happy.

Princesses of various countries can be regarded as the right ones to be concubines for their sons.

In this era, even if you are the monarch of Fanbang, the people of the Tang Dynasty still look down on you.

"Dad, you have to hurry." Li Tai was a little anxious, who knows if that guy from Songtsen Gampo would act in advance.

Although it has only been seven years now.

"Hmph, who dares to disagree with the envoy of my mission to ask for marriage?" Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "If you are not satisfied, I will go to the Tang army and snatch the princess for you!" ”

"Didn't Songtsen Gampo want to marry my Datang? This time it really suited him, hahaha......"

Li Shimin is extremely domineering.

"Your Majesty, it's okay to propose, but how can this be divided?" Yan Liben stood up and asked.

After all, his niece is Princess Wei, and her future son will inherit the title.

If you marry a foreign princess, it will be quite bad for your niece.

"Hey, you don't have to worry about this, Nibora, Tubo, and Zhangxiong are all indistinguishable." Li Tai said with a smile.

"In this way, tomorrow I will form a delegation and go to the three countries to ask to marry the princess of the three countries." Li Shimin smiled slightly.

"This matter, but!"

"So, it works!"

"It seems that I want to congratulate Your Highness again and be a groom again."

“……”

Li Tai is rarely brilliant.

These three princesses are well-known beauties.

"I don't have any other expectations in this life, I just hope that when I am young, I will have more relationships with the princesses of various countries, and I will have a few beautiful women while I am young." Li Tai is extremely rippling.

Life is wonderful.

No wonder when I woke up early this morning, I heard magpies chirping one after another.

Going to work at night, just sneaky codewords.
