Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

According to the process one by one, Wen Yanbo, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, also announced the tribute from Gaochang Kingdom and Turks.

The gift from Gaochang Kingdom still has the characteristics of the Western Regions.

Presented to Taizong several rare black fox furs, a set of ornaments, a pair of precious jade plates, and a wide variety of gifts.

Among them, the most special one is Fushi dog, a pair of male and female.

This Fushu dog is six inches tall and more than a foot long. It has a very intelligent nature and can pull a horse and hold a candle.

It can be regarded as the ancestor of pet dogs in the history of China.

Li Shimin didn't care much about the other gifts.

Only this pair of dogs is quite different.

Just a while ago, didn't Gao Yang make a big fuss in Furong Garden because of a pet dog?

It's good now, when I turn around, I will directly reward the pair of Fushi dogs to Gao Yang.

It can also be regarded as a kind of compensation for her daughter.

Afterwards, Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang Kingdom, paid homage to Li Shimin and expressed his admiration in his heart.

At the same time, it is also for his wife, the Yuwen clan.

For his request, Li Shimin was naturally happy to agree, and then he granted the title of Princess Lechang to the Li family, and issued an imperial edict to comfort him.

After the Gaochang Kingdom, the Ministry of Rites announced the Turkic tribute.

Because almost all the precious cultural relics and gold, silver and jewelry were taken away by Li Jing and Li Qiu.

Therefore, the Turkic gifts are mainly cattle, sheep, livestock, and horses.

Afterwards, Yi Shiyinan saluted Li Shimin very respectfully.

"Your Majesty the Tang Emperor, I, Yi Shi Yi Nan, come here to pay homage this time to express the hearts of all the tribes in our grassland to submit to His Majesty and the Tang Dynasty."

Seeing Yi Shiyi's attitude and respect, Li Shimin was naturally delighted and overjoyed.

What he wants most subconsciously is this kind of honor, this kind of aura, and this kind of political achievement.

But when he heard Yi Shiyinan's next words, Li Shimin couldn't be happier.

"Your Majesty the Tang Emperor, all the tribes in our grasslands are willing to respect you as the Heavenly Khan."

"All living beings in this world are under the control of Tian Khan."

"As for me, Yi, a barbarian man, I'm in my twenties this year, and I don't have a wife or daughter."

"I am also willing to be your son-in-law."

"I also ask Your Majesty to betroth the most beautiful pearl in Chang'an City, Princess Youle, to me as my wife."

"This is the eternal friendship between our grassland and the Tang Dynasty!"

After finishing speaking, this Yi Shiyi man actually took the initiative to bow down to Li Shimin and salute him.

There was a feeling that Li Shimin would not get up if Li Shimin didn't agree to him.

Upon hearing his words, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji's expressions changed instantly.

The other civil and military officials also couldn't help frowning.

At this time, Li Shimin on the dragon chair took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Zhenzhu Khan, I also think what you mentioned is very good."

"There have been hundreds of years of fighting between Hu and Han."

"I don't know how many soldiers and people on both sides died tragically."

"As for your request for marriage, I agree to you."

"It's just that this Princess Youle is already engaged and betrothed to someone else."

"Besides Youle, I have many princesses by my side, and I will marry you to another one."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, and seeing the expressions of Li Shimin and the people around him, Yi Shiyi was secretly delighted.

It seems that I made the right bet this time.

"God Khan, in my vast grassland, there has never been a marriage contract."

"As long as the girl is not married, she is eligible to be pursued by any warrior."

"The most beautiful Princess Youle, the Pearl of the Tang Dynasty cherished by even Tian Khan, should be the wife of my son Yi Shiyi and the mistress of my grassland."

"This time, I, Mr. Yi Shiyi, came to meet His Majesty, and I almost brought all the respect and devotion of all the tribes in my grassland."

"If you can't even agree to such a small request, it means that you never intend to treat us grassland people as your people."

"Wouldn't it be too chilling for thousands of creatures in my grassland?"

"So I once again implore Your Majesty to betroth Princess Youle to me."

"The day Princess Youle married into my grassland, that is when all the tribes in my grassland migrated to Shuofang."

At this moment, even Li Shimin, who was quite well established in the city, completely changed his face.

The hand grasping the dragon chair couldn't help trembling slightly.

He knew too well that if he married his favorite daughter to Turkic.

How will youle spend this life.

However, in the current situation, this Yi Shiyi man begged so much in front of so many people.

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he simply had to agree!

At this time, Li Qiu, who was standing in the crowd and resisting the drowsiness with all his strength, also frowned and looked at Yi Shiyi in the center of the Tai Chi Hall.

He snorted coldly in his heart, and there was a faint killing intent in his eyes.

It's obvious, this Yi Shiyi man didn't go after Princess Youle at all.

All he wanted was to tie up one of Li Shimin's most beloved princesses and make things difficult for Li Shimin.

Then tie the date of the southward migration of the grassland to the date of the princess's marriage.

Just procrastinating.

Anyway, in this way, they have nothing to lose, and they can get their wish and continue to live on the grassland.

It's Datang's fault, it's not that the grasslands didn't move south, it's just that your princess didn't get married.

We obeyed those who should submit, and paid tribute to those who should pay tribute. You Tang Dynasty can't be unreasonable and send troops to beat me again, can't you?

What Yi Shiyinan did was a conspiracy. Everyone can understand it, but they can't point it out.

Everyone can only look at Li Shimin, waiting for His Majesty to make a decision.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji, whose complexion was a little pale and clenched his teeth, suddenly stepped out.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I feel that Zhenzhu Khan is right."

"As long as Princess Youle is not officially married for a day, there will be countless so-called engagements."

"Minister! I beg your Majesty to agree to Zhenzhu Khan's request and marry the princess to the grassland."

"Don't delay the southward migration of the grassland, my Great Tang plan!"

Chapter 495 Why are you still making fun of me?

Princess Youle is one of the favorite daughters of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

Temperament docile, knowledgeable and reasonable.

She is also the most ideal daughter-in-law of the eldest grandson Wuji's family.

It also represents the favor of the royal family to the eldest grandson family.

At this moment, when he heard Yi Shiyi Nan's trick to force Princess Youle to marry Turkic.

Changsun Wuji's heart was even more angry than Li Shimin's, reluctant and uncomfortable.

However, for the benefit of Datang, Changsun Wuji, who is the prime minister of Datang, could only be the first to come out and persuade Li Shimin to agree to the request of Yi Shiyinan.

In any case, the Turks cannot be allowed to use Princess Youle as an excuse to refuse to move south to Shuofang.

Thus leaving a great legacy for future generations of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing Changsun Wuji like this, and listening to his unhesitating and extremely firm words, Li Shimin gritted his teeth.

I still made up my mind.

"Okay, I promise to marry Princess Youle to the Turkic Grassland with you, and make peace!"

……

For Li Shimin, for Changsun Wuji, and for the entire Tang Dynasty.

Internal worries have been resolved, and external troubles have been eliminated.

This was supposed to be a quiet, peaceful New Year.

But all of a sudden, the rat shit of Yi Shiyinan ruined everyone's good mood.

In the palace, when he heard that he was going to be married off to the Turkic Grassland to get married, You Le's first reaction was disbelief.

But when Li Shimin and Empress Changsun told her about it, Princess Youle finally confirmed that it was true.

Afterwards, Princess Youle cried out in fear and disbelief.

"Father and mother, isn't Youle going to marry into your uncle's house?"

"Why do you want to marry Youle to Turkic again?!"

"I won't go, Youle doesn't want to go to Turkic, let alone marry some Turkic Khan..."

Seeing my most beloved daughter being frightened like this, terrified like this, crying so sadly.

Empress Changsun also had red eye circles, hugging her daughter tightly, weeping together.

As for Li Shimin, he could only be secretly anxious and heartbroken.

However, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he could only follow the general trend, sacrifice his daughter, and put the country first.

……

On the other side, Changsun Wuji's residence.

When Chang Sun Chong heard about this, he was also like a bolt from the blue.

I couldn't believe it.

"Father!"

"Didn't Princess Youle have a marriage contract with Hai'er?"

"Why did His Majesty suddenly want to give You Le Xu to that Turkic Lao Shizi Khan?!"

"Could it be that my Tang Dynasty has no other princesses to marry?!"

At this time, Changsun Wuji was also extremely angry and anxious. Seeing his son like this, he also took a deep breath.

Explain to him as calmly as possible.

"It was today in the Tai Chi Hall that the Turkic Khan Yi Shiyi offered to marry You Le and have a close relationship."

"In front of the country, His Majesty has no choice in this matter."

"It's also for my father, I take the initiative to persuade Your Majesty to agree to the Turkic request."

"As for your marriage, when Youle is married, His Majesty and Empress will naturally promise you another princess."

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Changsun couldn't help shaking his head, his anxious teeth chattering.

"No, I don't want other princesses, I just want to have fun!"

"Father, why do you take the initiative to persuade His Majesty to do this? You have to think about it for me!"

"If there is no Youle, I would rather not marry for the rest of my life!"

The marriage between Changsun Chong and You Le was settled long ago.

So in the process of growing up, the emotional changes between the two of them are also very different from others.

Chang Sun Chong likes You Le's beauty, cuteness and gentleness.
