Martial Sage

The autumn wind was rustling, the leaves rustled, and a leaf struggled for a long time and slowly fell down.

Several children were playing naughty, watching the fluttering leaves suddenly became interested, rushing to grab the fluttering leaves.

The six or seven adults behind him glanced at the child from time to time and then turned their gazes back.

A middle-aged woman dressed in Chinese clothes, with a mysterious face, said in a low voice.

"I heard my husband return to the mansion to say that this morning the Tubo noodle saint came not only for peace, but also for the northern border of the Tang Dynasty."

The woman in plain clothes next to her answered.

"Oh! Unexpectedly, in the end, this loyal Tubo could think of our Datang, this time it is really a great help to Datang."

The woman in the Chinese clothes said with a curl of her mouth.

"The Tubo envoy is not a good person. As Princess Changle wants to invite, if she is good for marriage, she is willing to send troops to help Tang, and ah..."

Speaking of this, the woman leaned forward two steps, looked around, and whispered.

"It is not Songtsen Gampo who wants to marry Princess Changle, but Songtsen Gampo's son, who is very lowly."

As soon as the voice fell, the woman looked disgusted before, where there was still a half of joy before, she screamed.

"Unexpectedly, this country of bullets still has such thoughts? Isn't that just taking advantage of the fire?"

The voice was high-pitched, and it happened to fall in the ears of a passing jade-faced scholar.

Hearing this sentence, I knew what the women were talking about, and couldn't help but snorted coldly, then continued.

"The act of making a relationship is nothing more than a concealment by Tubo. This Tubo wolf ambition is obvious."

Seeing that Xiucai was elegant and walking slowly, the woman in Huafu greeted him.

"Come on, Li Xiucai, as a doorman at Master Jia's mansion, you must know the inside story, so you might as well tell us about it."

The scholar walked over slowly, with a slight complacency in his expression. After all, Master Jia was from the early dynasty, and his message was also the latest news.

After clearing his throat, Xiucai whispered.

"This Tubo turned back and forth, and now he has come up with some kind of son. Although he is a bit talented, he was born in the countryside after all."

Having said this, the Xiucai slowly bowed and whispered.

"This righteous son is about the same age as Songtsen Gampo, but he is willing to recognize Songtsen Gampo as his adoptive father. This shows that this person is shameless and extremely powerful."

"Furthermore, although this person is a prince of Tubo, he has no royal blood. If Songtsen Gampo has an heir again in a few years, how can this person be a prince!"

"It looks like a good relationship, but in fact, Tubo took advantage of the war in the northern border to humiliate the Tang Dynasty!"

After that, the scholar straightened up and was quite satisfied with own analysis.

Several women said ‘oh’, as if their understanding of the whole thing ascending to another level.

The woman in Huafu nodded slightly, looking like she had realized it, and then asked.

"Then Wang Wang didn't say more about this matter?"

Hearing this, the Xiucai paused for a while, and said with a cupped hands towards the imperial city.

"His Majesty definitely understood the stakes and did not reply to Tubo, but rushed him to Honglu Temple."

Speaking of this, the Xiucai looked dreadfully, and stood with his head up, looking righteous and awe-inspiring, said.

"The Tang Dynasty is a nation of etiquette. As a king of a country, he must embrace all rivers."

"Although the request of Tubo is extremely insidious, it is only a request. If the king of Tang is angry in the court because of this, he will lose the style of a great country."

The other woman took the conversation.

"Then the Lord of the Tang Dynasty is not angry, but treats each other with courtesy. Doesn't it fuel the arrogance of these unruly embassies?"

"Should we Datang endure this way?"

Hearing this, the scholar laughed and said, referring to these women.

"The doorways of officialdom can actually be seen through by you women?"

Xiucai spread out his left hand and preached with fingers.

"First, as we all know, Princess Changle is the jewel in your majesty's palm. The dusty pearl is not only something that your majesty does not want to see, but it is also something that the officials and people of the Tang Dynasty do not want to see."

"The good of the in-laws is a major matter if they are classified as a state affairs. If they are only classified as in-laws, it is a trivial matter compared to Jiangshan Sheji."

"The reason why your Majesty received the Tubo envoys was based on state affairs. As a hundred officials of the Tang Dynasty, the people should share the worries of the monarch and make this matter of in-laws small."

After listening, the woman in Huafu's eyes lit up and said happily.

"Li Xiucai, what do you mean is that the reason why your Majesty does not give a reply is that he needs the ministers to intervene and start the concert jointly. Your Majesty can be a good person to push the boat down the river, and throw away this marriage?"

Li Xiucai laughed and clapped his hands.

"Russ can be taught!"

This kind of dialogue spread quickly not only in this small street, but also in the imperial city.

In just half a day, the city that was originally singing and dancing seemed to calm down and began to think about its own future.

Those who are still spending time and drink, were suddenly inspired by Mr. Pingshu's words, tracing the Tang Dynasty, and going to the country together.

The ignorant vendors seem to feel a bit of crisis from foreigners in this bustling area.

The people of the imperial city are no longer talking about trivial matters such as trivial matters and oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, but more about the comments made by the Tibetans.

The literati flocked to the streets one after another, to the gates of the rich and powerful families, tens of thousands of people wrote in blood, and tearfully rebuked the Tubo envoys as unworthy to marry Princess Changle.

It seems that at this moment, the muddled people in this ancient capital were awakened, united and unanimously outside.
