After the prosperous Tang Dynasty

Xiao Yansui sat there leaning back, her eyes fell on the words on the letter paper that Xiao Heng obviously emphasized on purpose, and after a long while, she asked her grandfather Xiao Song unexpectedly, "Ah, what happened between the concubine Shou Wang and Shou Wang back then?" , and no heirs?"

Xiao Song didn't answer directly, but rather tactfully found a reason, and helped to explain: "At the beginning... the former birthday princess and birthday king Li Mao were married for five years, but they were not too old. It is normal for the heir to come later..."

"Understood." Xiao Yansui nodded.

Regardless of the reason, anyway, these two people did not have children at the beginning.

Then, Concubine Wu Hui passed away, Concubine Shou became a Taoist priestess, and then she transformed into Concubine Yang Guifei, which has nothing to do with Shou Wang...

"..." Can't help but look at Xiao Yansui twice, in fact Xiao Song really wants to ask his granddaughter, what do you understand.However, this topic is somewhat delicate. My granddaughter is a young girl who is not yet married. Xiao Song also felt that it doesn't matter what she thinks. It seems that it is better not to ask...

Xiao Yansui took the letter paper in his hand, glanced at it again, and couldn't help but began to think about the ages of Shou Wang Li Mao, Concubine Yang Gui, and Xuanzong.

Among them, Xuanzong's age is not young to be honest, it is hard to say whether he can give birth, but referring to some dispute cases that have appeared on various family mediation programs in later generations, it seems that "being old and getting a son" is not too much As for the strange things, let’s assume that Xuanzong himself is fine...

As for Shouwang Li Mao, he and the former Shouwang Concubine have never had a child. It is hard to say whether it has caused criticism. However, it seems that the new Shouwang Concubine has been married for a while. Moreover, Shouwang is actually wanting a child at his current age. It's almost the same. After a while, I will see if there are any children born in Shouwang's mansion and I will know the situation.

It's the same with Concubine Yang, except that according to Xiao Yansui's rather one-sided historical knowledge, she still tends to believe that Concubine Yang should have no heirs, whether it is with the longevity king Li Mao or the current Xuanzong.

——After all, she was regarded as one of the four beauties in ancient China in later generations. No one ever seemed to mention that any of them had children...

Perhaps it is because women who have children are not easily recognized as peerless beauties by the world?

The more Xiao Yansui thought about it, the more she felt a little puzzled, and the ends of her beautiful eyes were slightly twitched. She hadn't paid much attention to this before, but it was when she was talking about Concubine Yang today that she suddenly thought of this.

It's so weird...

Seeing that Xiao Yansui obviously didn't know what to associate with, Xiao Song didn't care. For the time being, he put away the thoughts that were interrupted by his granddaughter before, and followed Xiao Heng's original intention, and began to think about the recent situation in Chang'an City. The movement is coming.

The sage deliberately re-selected a woman with status as Prince Liangdi for the prince. This move was obviously to appease the East Palace. It can be seen that although there were frequent accidents before, Prince Li Heng did not lose Xuanzong's trust because of this.

Liu Tan, the second son of the Liu family from the Liu family in Hedong, seems to like Li Wenning, the daughter of the prince. According to Mrs. Qin's reaction, it is obvious that both the Liu family and the Yang family are happy to see the marriage.

If Concubine Yang Guifei has always been childless, this move can be seen as her intention to get close to the East Palace, but it is not yet known how the East Palace will respond.

Sure enough, the water in Chang'an City is really getting muddier...

Xiao Song was still feeling emotional, and suddenly heard Xiao Yansui asking again, "Ah Weng, tell me, if Li Wenning is really with Liu Tan, how will this seniority be counted?"

"What?" Xiao Song was stunned for a moment subconsciously, almost unable to react.

On the other side, Xiao Yansui was still fingering the relationship between these people, "Mrs. Qin is Liu Tan's sister-in-law and Yang Guifei's sister. If Li Wenning and Liu Tan are together, Mrs. Qin will She is also Li Wenning's sister-in-law—"

As he spoke, Xiao Yansui himself was shocked.

She originally thought that if there was no such thing as Xuanzong and Concubine Yang, if Concubine Yang was still Princess Shou, her seniority would be no problem. Prince Li Heng's daughter, Shou Wang Li Mao and Prince Li Heng are brothers, plus two brothers from the Hedong Liu family, they are already different generations from here.

Replacing Shouwang Concubine and Shouwang Li Mao with Concubine Yang Gui and Xuanzong is just turning one generation behind into two generations. Anyway, the difference is all bad, so I probably don't care how much the difference is...

Xiao Song: "..."

The grandparent and grandson looked at each other for a while, Xiao Yansui blinked, his face was completely full of innocence.

In the Hexi camp, Wang Zhongsi frowned as he watched the recent battle reports from Longyou.

Sitting next to him, Wang Sili also lowered his brows and closed his eyes, looking quite serious.

"The battle in Longyou is safe?" Seeing that Wang Zhongsi was still unable to let go, Wang Sili asked softly.

Wang Zhongsi frowned deeply, "Shibao City has been unable to attack for a long time, the saint is furious, and there is an edict ordering a strong attack..."

Wang Sili snorted lightly, "I don't know what it means."

Wang Zhongsi immediately slapped him on the head, and scolded: "Nonsense! You can say that?"

Wang Sili immediately shut up quietly.

In Wei Jian's case, Huangfu Weiming was demoted, and Wang Zhongsi, who rarely returned to Chang'an City, became the biggest winner.However, shortly after serving as the Jiedu envoys of Longyou, Hexi, and Hedong, Xuanzong once again issued an edict to appoint one of Wang Zhongsi's generals, Ge Shuhan, as the Jiedu envoy of Longyou because of the changes in the war situation with Tubo. envoy, and started a series of fortified battles with Tubo around Shibao City.

Wang Zhongsi looked at Wang Sili, who didn't hold grudges after being slapped by himself, and even showed a foolish look on his face, who didn't know what he was thinking. He couldn't stop saying to him: "The battle situation in Shibao City is probably not good..."

Wang Sili glanced at the map, and said softly: "The terrain around Shibao City is dangerous, and there is only one dangerous mountain road to walk along. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Between Tang and Tubo, there have never been many wars around this city. Gained and lost again and again.”

After a pause, Wang Sili continued: "Back then, Mr. Xiao made frequent schemes and dragged the Tubo royal city into a difficult situation in Hexi, and Longyou took advantage of the trend and captured Shibao City. Later, the internal disputes and The conflict has been resolved, and the sudden counterattack will cause Longyou to lose Shibao City—”

Wang Zhongsi was a little confused when he heard it, so he simply interrupted Wang Sili's talk about ancient times, and said bluntly: "Of course I know these things. I asked you about the battle situation in Shibao City. Why did you suddenly mention this?"

Wang Sili snorted, couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and then continued to say indifferently: "How long has it been since Tubo took Shibao City? It was originally a revenge for revenge, and morale is high. Now Ge Shuhan can only come from Huangshui Sending troops in the area will inevitably suffer from the disadvantages of the terrain. As long as the dangerous mountain road is guarded in Shibao City, the Longyou army will be helpless. The Tubo army is now occupying the right time, place and people. Hexi, Shuofang, and Hedong want to fight Which battlefield can't be fought, why do you have to go to the stone castle mountain road filled with human lives to tell them off at this time?"

Wang Zhongsi was speechless for a moment.

In fact, it wasn't just Wang Sili, as generals, Wang Zhongsi and Ge Shuhan naturally knew the current battle situation in Shibao City in their hearts.

However, the sage's decree has been issued, and the new Longyou Jiedu envoy Ge Shuhan commanded the troops of Longyou, Hexi, Shuofang and tens of thousands of troops from the Turkic Absi tribe to enter the palace, and must take Shibao City To put it bluntly, Ge Shuhan, who was directly in charge of this war, is now being roasted on the fire.

Wang Sili was still sneering, "It is true that Shibao City is a battleground for military strategists, but looking at the several changes of ownership in this place in the past century, almost all of them followed the trend. How many times were they taken by force with heavy troops? It’s because the strong attack really worked, and the lives filled in during this period, even if the entire Stone Fortress is filled up, it won’t be able to let it go!”

Wang Zhongsi had a difficult look on his face, and he was speechless about it.

If the battle situation was at a critical moment, there would naturally be a reason why the generals would not accept the order of the emperor. However, in the battle of Shibao City, Xuanzong ordered the surrounding troops to attack early in the morning, and Ge Shuhan had no way of refusing.

After a long time, after venting, Wang Sili's eyes were sharp and dark, but he murmured in a low voice: "It's crazy..."

Only focusing on victory or defeat in one corner, but ignoring the overall situation, this is a real taboo for military strategists.

Today, Hexi and Hedong are all in the hands of the Tang Dynasty. Under such circumstances, Shibao City is relatively isolated and helpless. As a stronghold for Tubo to attack Hehuang and other places, although it is important, it is far from important enough to make the Tang army pay any price... …

Chang'an West Market has a wide street of more than [-] paces, surrounded by nearly a thousand businesses of all kinds, and treasures from all directions, all of which are accumulated, known as the "Golden Market".Even on weekdays, businessmen from the Western Regions with different appearances who came from afar via the Silk Road appeared here to do business, which shows its bustling scene.

Li Tan, who came out with his elder sister Li Wenning, was walking unhurriedly. When he glanced at a jewelry store run by a businessman from the Western Regions, his footsteps paused slightly.

Following his gaze, Li Wenning's gaze also swept over there quickly, seeing that it was a hairpin inlaid with several very angular gemstones from the Western Regions, she couldn't help being a little surprised, and asked Li Tan curiously, "What are you looking at?"

Although this hairpin can be called beautiful, how can these goods sold in the market outside compare with the rare treasures that the envoys presented in front of the saints of Xingqing Palace?

Among the things that the sage bestowed on the Eastern Palace, they were naturally exquisite treasures. If Li Wenning were to say, at most, it was because the third younger brother Li Tan had not married a wife yet, so such female accessories would naturally not appear in front of him, so, could it be Did he suddenly feel curious today?
