"Retreat!"

Wang Wang left a word and walked out of the Great Hall angrily.

Empress Changsun followed behind King Tang, her beautiful eyes uncertain.

Earlier, the Tubo had already sent envoys to Datang twice.

Without exception, although the two Tubo envoys were courteous and modest, they also revealed that they wanted to make peace with Datang and that the two countries would marry for a hundred years.

Tubo and Chang'an are far apart, and it will take as long as 10 months to come and go.

These Tubo envoys seem to be full of sincerity and not afraid of hardships, and they came to Chang'an again a year later.

Empress Changsun supported King Tang and looked at King Tang's gloomy face. She tried to speak several times, but she endured it.

Stayed at the Lizheng Hall.

Wang Wang collapsed on his ass and said nothing, preoccupied.

Empress Changsun didn't bother, so she made a pot of tea and placed it on the desk in front of the king of Tang.

In the entire Great Hall, the fragrance of tea was lingering, and behind the rising heat, Wang Wang slowly spoke.

"Guanyin maid, in your opinion, what news did this Tubo envoy bring to me at this time?"

Unable to hear the sound of sorrow and joy lingering in the ear, Empress Changsun sighed and said.

"It seems that Yichen concubine is definitely not good news."

Hearing this, Tang Wang narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes flickering, and slowly said.

"At this time, the kingdom on the plateau of Tubo has already been unified under the leadership of cadres Sun Zan."

"Now is the period of development of Tubo, this person has some means."

Empress Changsun stared at the heat rising in the teacup and said.

"If this person only has some means, I'm afraid this person is not too ambitious."

"Today, the entire Tubo is waiting to be revived, and the agricultural affairs have also stabilized, with a fixed grain reserve."

"In recent years, the future newspaper guarding Tubo seems to have discovered an iron ore, even if they are also developing iron smelting in private."

"This is directly related to the development of armaments. Tubo should not be underestimated."

Tang Wang faintly clenched his fists, a cold light flashed across his eyes, and said slowly.

"Even though the East Turks are brave, they have no fixed grain output. This is their biggest weakness. On the contrary, these brave peoples are not terrible."

"It is really difficult to contain this embryonic Tubo."

Empress Changsun stroked that big hand with bare hands, sighed and said.

"Hey! It is a big goal to reach all over the world, and it is not that easy. For Tubo, it may be the best strategy to calm down now."

"What's more, the Nanri Songzan of the previous Tubo Dynasty, who had made great achievements but died of poisoning, maybe this cadre Sun Zan is afraid that he has followed in his father's footsteps and wants to rely on Datang as his backing force. That's why he showed such respect for Datang. Bar."

Wang Wang slowly leaned on the soft couch, closed his eyes, rubbed his forehead, and said.

"I hope so!"

silence.

The whole Lizheng Hall was silent.

Perhaps it was the curling incense, or perhaps the calming and refreshing effect of the tea, and the confused king of Tang gradually calmed down.

Everything that has been messy in recent days seems to gradually have a clue.

a long time.

Empress Changsun exhaled a sullen breath, hesitated for a moment, said.

"Your Majesty, if Tubo mentions marriage proposal this time..."

And dear.

Hearing these two words, Wang Wang moved his heart, opened his eyes suddenly, and shouted.

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Even if I was at war with Tubo, I would never allow my spouse to marry into that small country!"

"Quality is a princess of the Tang Dynasty, a daughter of a thousand gold, so noble, marrying to a barbarian, it is idiotic to dream!"

This shout was like a strong wind, humming the entire empty Lizheng Hall.

Although the voice fell, the lingering sound echoed in the hall.

Tang Wang's anger, on the contrary, showed his distress for Princess Changle.

The empress Changsun next to her was indeed filled with joy.

Just before this roar, Empress Changsun had even imagined the scene of Princess Changle marrying away from home.

After all, now, Datang Si is facing an enemy.

It is not easy to treat an Eastern Turk, let alone Tubo and Western Turk.

If it were the situation where the war started at the same time, even if Datang were to win, I am afraid it would only end up with a deficit in the national treasury and a weak national strength.

Between the princess's marrying away and the survival of the Tang Dynasty, it is already very clear which is lighter and heavier.

Jia Tang Wang was so determined, the Empress Changsun was completely relieved, and turned to comfort the Tang Wang.

"What are you doing? The quality is the flesh and blood of your majesty and your concubine, but with your heart, your concubine is just a guess. Why do you have such a big fire."

Having said that, the eldest grandson raised a teacup from the back and handed it to the king of Tang, said.

"When you see the Tubo envoy tomorrow, no matter what, you must not be angry anymore. Now when Datang is stalemate, your Majesty must pay attention to the dragon body!"

The tea enters the throat, and the fresh and light fragrance from nature lingers between the lips and teeth for a long time.

The hot tea went down his throat, washed away the fatigue for a few days, and also eased the melancholy in Tang Wang's heart.

King Tang's big hand stroked that slender jade hand, revealing a smile that was hard to see in the past few days, said.

"Don't worry, I have a decision regarding the Tubo envoy."
