Chapter 861: [Meet the Princess]
...
As soon as these words came out, the messengers' eyes lit up again.
As long as the prince is handsome, he can come to Chang'an to get the favor of the princess. As long as he falls in love with the princess, he can marry the princess.
This is a great thing!
Although the Tang Dynasty has always been in mingling with other countries, there are still various conditions and restrictions to want to mingle with. The princess of the Tang Dynasty is not a bargain, nor is it garbage. She throws it to whoever she wants to. Those who can mingle with the Tang Dynasty recognize their national strength and have to make friends with him in order to get married. However, some countries without strength have no way to want it. It is difficult for them to speak out if they want to raise it.
Like Tubo, they only came to propose marriage to the Tang Dynasty when their national strength was at its peak.
In this way, it will cause unequal treatment to other countries.
Now that Li Chengqian said this, he said to them that everyone is equal, it depends on your prince’s own ability.
After hearing this, the messengers were considering sending a message back to China and asking them to send a handsome prince to Chang'an. What are you doing? Pick up girls and pick up white and rich beauty! As long as you go, your status will not only rise, but also bring benefits to the country.
When the messengers were excited, Old Li looked at Li Chengqian accidentally, and the fool was making a fool of himself again. He could tell him something that Huang had never discussed with him.
However, thinking that the exercises that Li Chengqian just organized were very good, and he had made contributions, and he felt that his personality was much more reliable, so he felt a little relieved about him. Another thing was that the matter he said was not bad, it was within a controllable range. So Lao Li did not say anything to stop him.
Li Chengqian was sweating coldly on his forehead at this time. Of course, he felt the look that Old Li looked at him.
However, he did this with a purpose.
First of all, of course, it is to open a relatively free environment for the sisters. If they can let them fall in love freely, then their happiness will be in their own hands. There is no way to count how many unhappy princesses in the Tang Dynasty in history, but the most famous one is Princess Gaoyang. In order to reward Fang Xuanling for his responsibility, Li Shimin married Princess Gaoyang to Fang Xuanling's second son, Fang Yiai, who has developed limbs and simple minds. Princess Gaoyang, who has elegant temperament, fell in love with Bian Ji and cuckolded Fang Yiai. After Li Shimin discovered it, he cut Bian Ji in half. Princess Gaoyang lost love and rebelled, and in the end, Gao Yang and Fang Er were both killed. It must be said that it was a tragedy.
Princess Gaoyang in history is Li Chengqian's current sister Xiao Laohu. Well, this blind sister obviously gave her a chance to marry Fang Er, and she had already escaped from the clutches of the devil. This dead girl actually found Fang Er by herself. She said that Fang Er is easy to bully, and she often looked for him because she could bully him. But others are not blind, can't tell what she is thinking? Okay, let's not talk about this dead girl. Li Chengqian has such a group of cute sisters. No matter how hard Li Chengqian wants to create a good and free environment for them and prevent tragedy from happening to them.
So, Li Chengqian saw that the opportunity was good, so he told him.
Speaking of such an occasion, as a prince, what he said is of course worthwhile. Lao Li would never stand up and object. After it spread, he became a public intellectual and then became a trend. A free environment was formed.
The second purpose is to marry late. Li Chengqian said just now that no princess is at the age of marriage, which is to calculate according to the standard of seventeen. This means that the late marriage habits formed in the aristocratic circle have spread out to the outside and let these foreign envoys know. Even foreigners know that women in the Tang Dynasty got married at the age of seventeen. Did the Tang Dynasty not do it?
The third purpose is to attract bees and butterflies. Well, this word is a bit evil when it comes to it, as if the princesses are treated as bait. In other words, it is to attract talents and attract investment.
As we all know, if you can soak up the princess of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an, it will definitely attract powerful princes from all countries to come to Chang'an to soak up the princess. In addition to those top-notch princes, other powerful figures, as well as the prince's second heir, and the prince's son, such figures will come to Chang'an.
What are these characters? They are the second generation of kings in this world and the best group of people in the world. Such people can make Chang'an more powerful as an international capital and increase the value of Chang'an. With so many princes, then any force will take these princes into consideration when they dare to take on Chang'an in the future. If one does not do well, it will offend all countries.
Picking up girls is not something that can be done in one or two days. What's more, it's a princess who wants to meet, and it's a longer time.
Let’s not talk about the rest, let’s talk about the prince’s living expenses first, but they are all consumed in Chang’an, which increases Chang’an’s economic vitality and prospers Chang’an’s business.
In addition, when these princes come to Chang'an, they only guard the princess and don't do anything else? This is obviously impossible. Even if it is like this at the beginning, someone will definitely learn to be good at it later. That is, they learn to manage their business. They come to Chang'an to manage their connections and business.
No matter what you manage, you can bring vitality to Chang'an. Management will bring talents. Even if these talents are not people from Chang'an, they will still have a great effect like a stone, which will bring waves of a lake. In addition, business also requires money, so it will play a role in attracting investment.
So many benefits were only thought of after Li Chengqian said it.
This is to wait for a while to tell Lao Li. If there is such a thing as killing three birds with one stone, Lao Li will never refuse to agree.
Of course, it would be even better if the stone could be returned intact after being thrown out.
For example, these princes can meet princesses in Chang'an and achieve good things. But which princess will fall in love with foreigners? Life in Chang'an is so good, who will live as a country bumpkin?
Not to mention, the princess rarely leaves the palace, and she will not leave alone when she leaves the palace. There are people around her, so others will not be able to get close to her easily. In this way, she will have very few opportunities to meet the princess. In addition, the princess’ wishes mentioned above, the chance is even smaller.
If in the end, a princess still falls in love with a certain prince, then follow her and act as a role model for other countries.
Of course, this was decided only after considering political reasons.
