Chapter 156 Distant Marriage Tufan
Zhen Qian suddenly had the urge to tell Li Huang about the direction of history, and suddenly heard Li Huang say loudly: "...... Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. I am born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone. β¦β¦ Zhen Lang, life is a life, grass and trees are autumn, the flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year, you young people think about the dynasty for Tian Shelang and the twilight of Tianzitang, what is the use of being sentimental all day long, it is better to be happy! β
Li Huang had a little alcohol on his head, and his tongue began to curl, pointing at Zhen Qian, and suddenly said: "Even people like you know the hidden world, how can those of us who are princes not know the ...... to avoid suspicion!" β
Zhen Qian and Fujiwara Shuxiong glanced at each other, and realized that something would happen if they drank it any longer, so they beckoned the maid to help Li Huang back to the room, and the two of them exited the room with interest.
"Fujiwara-kun, but you have something to say?"
Zhen Qian found that Fujiwara Shuxiong opened his mouth and swallowed the words back, and when he saw Fujiwara Shuxiong shaking his head, he didn't bother to ask any more. I secretly sighed in my heart that the atmosphere of extravagance and decadence had become a reality, and I saw the whole picture at a glance, Li Huang was like this, and others were not like this.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day the rooster crowed three times, the sky had not cleared, and the gray sky was like a thick quilt over the county seat.
The house was already full of people, the sound of cars and horses was endless, Feng Wannian and the county Sanzuo also came early to see off Li Huang, Zhen Qian set up the carriage and horses and Feng Wannian chatted without a word, seeing Li Huang's carriage and horse coming out of the door and stepping forward to salute, but seeing Li Huang waved his hand and said: "Don't send it, send you a thousand miles away and there will be a farewell, and there will be a chance to see you in the capital again!" β
Zhen Qian was about to say something, Feng Wannian pulled Zhen Qian's sleeve and reminded in a whisper: "It is forbidden for kings, princesses, and concubines to come out of the court, except for close relatives, and speak in vain!" Don't you understand? β
"This is for the ministers of the DPRK and China, and I am not one of the people!"
Feng Wannian stopped talking, arched his hand towards Li Huang and turned to leave.
"Lord Wang, I'll send you out of the city!"
"No need, didn't you just say something to you?" Although I didn't hear what Feng Wannian said, it didn't matter anymore, Li Huang stretched out his hand and patted Zhen Qian's shoulder and said, "I've been bothering in your house for the past few days, and I found that you are clean and calm, and you are quite organized, but it's a pity...... If you can become an official, you will be in a high position within ten years, even if you are on the stage to worship the prime minister, since you have no intention of nostalgia for officialdom, here is the king in Hengzhou has not yet sold some shop title deeds to you! As he spoke, he handed a wooden box to Zhen Qian.
Zhen Qian was stunned and said, "Lord Wang! You're not going back to Hengzhou? β
"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back, I have sold some of them when I left Hengzhou, and the rest of these are not cared about for the time being, I thought I would deal with it later, and it was also your and my fate to meet you, so I should treat Wan'er as a medical fee, don't postpone!"
Soon after Tang Xuanzong ascended the throne, he set up the Ten Princes' Mansion and the Hundred Grandchildren's Courtyard, which is called **, just like what Feng Wannian said just now: "It is forbidden for kings, princesses, and concubines to be relatives, except for close relatives, they are not allowed to go out of the court, and speak in vain!" "Apparently on guard against the royal family and from a repeat of the coup d'Γ©tat.
Zhen Qian was stunned, he was still eating and drinking with Li Huang and his group of people in his own house just now, and he also took two carts of his gifts when he left, and he didn't even have any news about the medical fee for the treatment of Jinyuan County, but he didn't expect that he was wrong to blame Li Huang.
"Lord Wang......!"
"Gift from the elderly, can't resign!" Saying that, Li Huang pointed out something: "What difficulties can I go to the capital to find this king in the future, and this king is still waiting for you to surprise me?" β
After speaking, Li Huang boarded the car and glanced at Zhen Qian meaningfully, "Go back!" Although you have not been conferred, but you have an official body, you will still be an official one day, if someone takes advantage of this matter to make a big fuss, the future career is unpredictable! β
The carriage and horses started slowly, looking at the direction where Li Huang disappeared at the end of the long street, Zhen Qian suddenly felt a little lost, and after a few days with Li Huang, he found that Li Huang did not have the frame of the prince at all, he was approachable and friendly, less domineering and domineering of the royal family, and did not use his power to bully others, but helped himself to resist a catastrophe, and couldn't help but think of making the emperor feel infinitely emotional.
To be honest, I don't have a good impression of the feudal bureaucracy, this may be the usual view of later generations, Zhen Qian is particularly serious, in his previous life, he had dealt with bureaucrats at all levels, on the surface, he called a brother and a brother, a high-end restaurant and his own canteen are almost the same, and all kinds of entertainment venues are ushered in and sent to the palace, under the offensive of money and beauty, but more and more yearning for a peaceful life, tired of exchanging interests to please and flatter, every late at night a restless heart is proudly calmed down.
Maybe you know how to cherish it after experiencing it, but the reality has once again pushed Zhen Qian to the forefront, and the peaceful life is about to be broken, the Anshi Rebellion is just a text in a history textbook for him, Zhen Qian just wants his relatives and friends to escape the catastrophe, as for other things, it is not much different from the past in his memory.
"Let's go, let's go back to Sendai Village!"
"Drive!" Wang You whipped and drove Zhen Qian, Xiaohe, and Lucia out of Luquan County.
The sky was overcast, and the remnants of winter were not yet far away, and the north wind swept up the remnants of snow on the ground and flew wantonly, making a whimpering and crying sound through the cracks in the carriage.
Li Wan'er was wrapped in fur, holding a copper kettle in her arms, her eyes were lowered, as if she was contemplating and wanted to pretend to sleep.
"Wan'er...... What are you thinking? β
Li Huang rubbed his hands and leaned closer to the brazier, this ghost weather is really not a taste.
"Didn't think anything?" Li Wan'er said silently.
"Father knows that you have been wronged, and when I go back, I will talk to the emperor and see if I can push off the matter of getting married!"
Two lines of tears rolled down Li Wan'er's face, and muttered: "Why don't you let me die, once I die, I don't have to marry Chide Zuzan if I die!" β
Li Huang was sad, looking at his daughter's haggard face like a knife, just a little more than a month ago, Tufan Chide Zuzan sent an envoy to talk about the friendly relations between the two countries, advocating the peace brought to the two countries by Princess Wencheng and Princess Jincheng after entering Tibet, hoping that Tang Xuanzong would send another princess to Tibet and relatives, and the preliminarily selected and relatives were the county lord of Jinyuan.
Li Huang didn't want his daughter to marry Tufan, but once it was confirmed, the emperor's order was difficult to do, as long as he didn't die, he must be like Tufan, and he agreed to marry Chi Dezu, who was in his fifties.
Where is this harmony, obviously blackmailing the Tang Dynasty, Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, bringing a large number of handicrafts and a variety of production techniques, medical books, which is greatly conducive to the economic and cultural development of Tibet. Then there was the princess of Jincheng into Tufan, who also brought a large amount of property, and the so-called peace alliance was just a temporary peace, which was used to paralyze the Tang Dynasty.
In history, Songtsan Gampo used both soft and hard, and finally forced Tang Taizong to send the princess, which inevitably made the Tang court feel disgraced, so the historians tried their best to downplay the "compulsion" of this harmony, and at the same time, they also touted the status and influence of Princess Wencheng after entering Tibet, trying to create the illusion that the Tang princess was respected in Fanbang and admired by all barbarians. This false history has been tacitly used by successive historians.
In fact, Princess Wencheng has been in Tibet for many years, has no children and no favors, has a mediocre status, and serves Songtsan Gampo's diet and daily life like a maid, which is very different from the image of the mother of the country who is high, graceful and noble, and deeply respected by the Tubo people. Princess Wencheng's life is quite unfortunate, she has lived in the distant Fanbang for 40 years, but she has been widowed for 31 years, and most of her youth has been buried in the snowy plateau. Even in the 9 years before Songtsen Gampo's death, her marriage was by no means happy, and the elderly Songtsen Gampo had a total of 6 women with reputation, and countless unnamed women, how much can she take care of Princess Wencheng? Princess Wencheng has been married to Songtsen Gampo for 9 years, but she has only intersected for 3 years, and most of the time she has been neglected and forgotten, obviously not favored.
Although Princess Wencheng's dowry at that time was unusually rich, not only had a large amount of property, but also a large number of craftsmen, and introduced advanced agricultural and handicraft production technology to Tibet, according to the records of Dunhuang documents, the Tubo people regarded these as tributes to the Tang Dynasty for fear of the Tibetan soldiers, and it can also be seen that it is an indisputable fact that Tang Taizong had exchanged women and property for peace.
In addition, Songtsen Gampo did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build the Jokhang Temple for the princess from Nepal, and enshrined the 8-year-old statue of Sakyamuni brought by the princess; Although Princess Wencheng from the Tang Dynasty brought the 12-year-old statue of the Buddhist family treasure and Sakyamuni, Songtsen Gampo only built a small Jokhang Temple for her to settle, and the gap between the status of the two can be seen. Later, the princess of Jincheng entered Tibet as the wife of the lord of Tubo, and the two Buddha statues were exchanged, which has continued to this day.
It can be seen that there is really no way for Datang to agree to make peace, but some historians insist on saving face, insisting on showing weakness as showing grace, and fabricating the story of Songtsen Gampo asking for marriage several times and Datang feeling his sincere marriage. But no matter how conclusive the statement is, it cannot change the true history.
There is a big gap between the description in the history books and the reality, and after Tang Xuanzong ascended the throne, there were constant wars with Tufan.
In the second year of Kaiyuan, Xue Ne and Tubo fought in Wujie and broke it.
In the third year of Kaiyuan, Tubo and Dashi jointly established Alida as the king, and sent troops to attack the Tang Dynasty's vassal state of Bakhana.
In the fourth year of Kaiyuan, Tubo turned to attack Songzhou, but encountered the counterattack of Sun Renxian, the governor of Songzhou, and was defeated under the city of Songzhou.
In the fifth year of Kaiyuan, Tuqi Shi united with Tubo and Dashi to attack the four towns, and was defeated again by the Tang Dynasty.
In the sixth year of Kaiyuan, Guo Zhiyun once again led the Tang army to attack Tubo. Tubo Zampu sued for peace, hoping that the monarchs of the two countries would personally sign the oath, and asked the prime ministers of the two countries to sign the oath as well. In June of the following year, the Tang Dynasty reached a reconciliation with Tibet. After this reconciliation, the Tang Dynasty and Tibet maintained a relatively peaceful situation for nearly a decade.
In September of the tenth year of Kaiyuan, Tubo attacked Xiao Bolu, Xiao Bolu asked the Tang Dynasty for help, and Zhang Xiaosong was defeated by Beiting Jiedu.
In the sixteenth year of Kaiyuan, Tubo once again harassed Guazhou and Changle in an attempt to cut off the communication between Tang and the Western Regions.
The war between the middle and Tufan has been continuous, stop and stop, as long as Tufan finds that there is an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity will send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, at this time the Tang Dynasty is strong, but it is also tireless to be Tufan, in December of the ninth year of Tianbao, Tang Guanxi Youyi made Wang rare to lead the troops to attack the Tubo army, Kewuqiao, occupied Shudun City.
Tufan saw that the military operation could not be victorious, so he thought of his relatives again, and sent someone to ask Tang Xuanzong to ask a daughter of the clan to enter Tufan. It was in this case that the lord of Jinyuan was chosen as the daughter of the clan of Tufan, and once the two sides reached an agreement, it was likely that the lord of Jinyuan would marry Tufan next year. Li Huang was willing to let his daughter marry Tufan, so he naturally decided to return to the dynasty to persuade Tang Xuanzong, but unfortunately Li Huang had no confidence in whether he could persuade Tang Xuanzong.
