Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

"Anyway, I'll tell you." Li Yan simply played tricks.

Li Xin: "..."

After the arranged place to live, on the second day, Li Yan came to visit directly for the meal, saying that she naturally wanted to come for the meal.

Li Ke had nothing to do with Li Yan's visit, but he could tell that this girl should have something to say.

Coming here, Li Ke's meals are naturally relatively simple.

However, cooking is still possible.

Although she had heard about it before, Li Yan was still a little dazed after eating it. This... is really delicious.

"How is it? It tastes good, right?" Li Ke asked with a smile.

"Well, the rumors are indeed true." Li Yan nodded seriously.

"Come and have some tea." Li Ke smiled and asked Yang Anning to pour a cup of tea for each of them.

"Thank you." When Yang Anning served her tea, Li Yan thanked her.

"Young lady, you are being polite." Yang Anning said with a smile.

"Brother, in fact, my younger sister came here today because she has something to say to my brother." Li Yan paused for a moment, and then said directly.

"Oh, you said?" Li Ke was a little curious.

"Brother, I want to ask you one thing." Li Yan paused for a moment, and then spoke directly.

"You said, I will definitely help if I can." Li Ke nodded and smiled.

"If one day Datang needs a marriage, and His Majesty finds my father again, I hope His Highness can help persuade His Majesty to let me make a marriage." Li Yan said softly.

Li Ke was stunned by her for a moment, this...you speak so directly, in my style.But make love?Who told you to make a kiss?

"Marriage? Who said you want to marry? Someone told you?" Li Ke was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he really didn't know these things. This kind of thing was decided after discussion between his father and the officials of the Ministry of Rites.At this time, has someone already mentioned that they want to make peace with Tubo?

"No." Li Yan shook her head lightly.

"Then why did you say that?" Li Ke was really curious, and sat up straight.

"I guessed it myself." Li Yan said directly, "In the third year of Zhenguan, after His Majesty canonized the current Xue Yantuo Khan Yi Shiyi as Zhenzhu Khan, Jieli knew that the end was coming, so he asked for an order and wanted to do it. Son-in-law, please marry me, Princess Datang. Since the time was ripe for Datang to use troops against the Eastern Turks, His Majesty did not agree."

"But after taking down the Eastern Turks, in order to stabilize the relationship with Xue Yantuo, the Tang Dynasty canonized a clan woman as the county head and married Xue Yantuo."

Li Ke was silent for a moment. He knew about this. That's right, Datang had married a long time ago, but it was only a county head who was also a canonized clan daughter. She made her own contribution to the stability of Datang. However, because she didn't even get the title of princess, she didn't even have the right to enter the history books, and just disappeared into the vast history.

Li Yan continued, "In May of the eighth year of Zhenguan, Murong Fuyun, the leader of Tuyuhun, was severely reprimanded by His Majesty when he "condemned envoys to pay tribute" and "looted wantonly". Your Majesty wrote a letter asking for marriage, asking to marry Princess Datang."

"Your Majesty agreed to Murong Fuyun's request and told him that it is fine to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but he must go to Chang'an in person. Later, Murong Fuyun did not dare to go to the Tang Dynasty because of excessive fear, so he will end up today."

"But if Murong Fuyun goes to Chang'an in person, His Highness will definitely not kill him. He may be the same as Jieli at that time, and His Majesty will definitely give Murong Shun a marriage, and at that time, the clan daughter will definitely be conferred as the Princess of the Tang Dynasty , because Tuyuhun has a vast area, it is impossible to be just a county lord like Zhenzhu Khan."

"My little sister has learned about the clan situation. Apart from the real princess of the Tang Dynasty, there are not many clan girls who are of the right age, and my sister Xin'er and I are two of them, but it is impossible for His Majesty to let us both go to marry each other." , that's too unkind, so one of Xin'er and I must go to get married, but I can't let Xin'er go, so it can only be me."

"And there are still many small countries around the Tang Dynasty, such as Tubo, Goguryeo, Gaochang, and Yanqi. With the growth of Xueyantuo's tribe, His Majesty may strengthen the relationship with Xueyantuo, and I also heard that in the eighth year of Zhenguan, Zanpu Songzan, the current Tubo Ganbu also asked Datang to marry a princess."

"To tell you the truth, brother, the prescription I gave him was not something I searched for, but I prepared it over the years. I took the initiative to learn some of the languages, cultures, and needs of their people from the relatively powerful vassal states around me. Think about it. But if I go to marry, what should I bring with me, what should I learn. Because only in this way can I help Datang stabilize a vassal state to the greatest extent."

Speaking of this, Li Yan smiled wryly, she didn't say a word, in fact, Xin'er is the same as her, she is also actively learning these things, and even learns better!Because she couldn't guarantee whether His Majesty would send both of them out to marry each other.

It’s good if you don’t need to get married and get married, but if you have to get married, as the daughters of the Tang royal family, then they can’t fall into the reputation of the Tang Dynasty, and they always have to make some contributions to these countries to reflect Their value has more right to speak.Let them live a better life in a foreign land with no relatives, and also make a little contribution to maintaining the relationship between Datang and the vassal state.

If you have no choice, you can only enrich yourself, make yourself stronger, and adapt to this choice.

Looking at the eloquent young girl, Li Ke was in a daze. She was only fifteen or sixteen years old, while Li Xin was only twelve or thirteen years old. However, Li Ke was admirable for her grand appearance and broad mind. , but apart from admiration, he could also hear the grievance in her tone.

Undoubtedly, whether it is Li Yan or Li Xin, both of them belong to the kind of women with high intelligence and intelligence, but this is a feudal society, and in such a society, it is very difficult for women to come forward.

From the perspective of future generations, looking at the 5000 years, how few women can leave their names and deeds in the official history by virtue of their own ability instead of their status?Leaving aside the empress, these high-status women who have left their names because of the emperor, don't talk about it.

Li Ke can know, besides Cai Wenji, Li Qingzhao and other talented literary women, there are only Wu Zetian, Wang Zhaojun, Princess Wencheng, Princess Pingyangzhao, Qin Liangyu and these very few women who know through history books.

Like Diao Chan, there is no such person in history.Li Ke knew all about Mi Yue from watching TV dramas, otherwise he wouldn't have known about it.

Li Ke suddenly thought of the evaluation of Princess Wencheng in history: erudite and versatile, she had a great influence on the civilization of Tubo, not only consolidated the frontier defense of the Tang Dynasty, but also spread Han culture to Tibet. He continued to live in Tubo for 30 years, committed to strengthening the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and was deeply loved by Tubo people.

And she can also say that she did it, truly strengthening the relationship between Datang and Tubo.It's not like the East Turks, who have been raised for decades, feel that they are strong, and feel that they can do it, so they start to rebel.

In Tibetan Buddhism, she is considered to be the incarnation of Green Tara.

Looking at the pretty and quiet girl in front of him, Li Ke seemed to see the shadow in the history book on her.

Those who can leave a name in history must have something extraordinary.
