Chapter 806 The mantra is touching
Like Songzan Yubu and Princess Wencheng, Chidaizhudan and Princess Jincheng also lived in the main halls on both sides of the copper bridge. However, unlike the one who was sixteen years old when she entered Tibet, and had studied etiquette and various trainings in the Tang Dynasty Palace for several years before, Princess Wencheng, who was praised by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, Princess Jincheng promised to marry Tubo during the Zhongzong period. At that time, she was only fourteen years old. In the palace, Empress Wei, Princess Anle, was busy fighting for power and profit with Princess Taiping, the prime minister. No one really valued her, the marriage princess.
Everyone said that she was sent to Shiping by the Zhongzong family, and said that she was the adopted daughter of the emperor. I imagine that Empress Wei had two legitimate daughters of Changning Anle, and there were other domineering princesses in the palace. What is her clan daughter? She was young, but she married far away to Tubo in a daze. In her opinion, this magnificent but empty and deep hall was not her residence, but her prisoner.
Now, people from her hometown have been welcomed in the hall again. In recent years, after the Tang Dynasty and Tubo gradually became more and more envoys, bringing various fabrics and gadgets that were only in her memory. At this moment, thinking about the unexpected embarrassment of the previous zidaizhudan, she couldn't help but feel a little happy. She was naturally kind of happy to Zhang Xing and Feng Changqing, unlike the alienation she had when they first met. As for Li Jingzhong, she had not recovered from the illness. Even if she didn't rely on her own ability to climb the tall Potala Palace, Zanpu could no longer bear it and could not help but send her back to the inn.
"Some of the envoys from the Tang Dynasty to Tubo were eloquent, some were passionate, some were good at archery, horses and martial arts, and some were very talented in poetry, songs and essays. However, you are the first group who caught Zanpu off guard suddenly." Princess Jincheng looked at Zhang Xing thoughtfully and suddenly asked, "I heard from the maid, you are the famous Secretary of the Longyou Hei?"
"It is a great honor to have some reputations known to you." Zhang Xing bowed, and after considering the sentences, he said sincerely, "This is coming to Tubo. First, because Your Majesty is planning for the descendants of the Lord, he sent a famous teacher from the Imperial Medical Office in the palace to treat you. Second, because General Du of Longyou heard that Tubo planned Xiao Bolu, he asked me to come, hoping to defeat the enemy without fighting."
All the past are superficial skills, and what they say is how the emperor is so kind to the emperor. The empty words of Tubo can promote the two countries to be friendly, and other things will be gone. If it weren't for the clothes and clothes of the homeland that they could relieve the pain of homesickness, and they could bring the things they most hoped for, Princess Jincheng would not even bother with these beautiful people. Therefore, Zhang Xing was so honest to herself. While she was surprised, a heart that was as quiet as ashes involuntarily caused a few ripples, both nervous and touched, and some unexplained joy.
Someone was willing to express sincerity and kindness to her, Princess Hefan, who had a false reputation, and also expressed the true purpose of this trip?
What was even more shocking was Feng Changqing. If he hadn't been worried that this was in front of the noble Princess Jincheng of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo Zan's mask, his mouth could almost have opened an egg. This kind of thing was said frankly, and wouldn't anyone report to the ruler and bring the pearl pill after eavesdropping, then would all the previous acts be wasted?
"I am not a perfect Tang Dynasty palace, you will hear your words."
Facing Princess Jincheng's answer, Zhang Xing immediately smiled: "Your lord doesn't need to worry. What I said does not need to hide. Before my departure, the general once told me that if it is empty, it is real, and if it is real, it is empty. Now the two countries have stopped fighting and resting their troops, but it does not mean that the border can really be peaceful for thousands of years. The defenses that should be available cannot be relaxed at all, so it is urgent to recruit troops to enrich the defense line. As for the army in Hexi and Longyou, they will also join the practical exercises so that the soldiers will not forget how to fight in peace and can defeat others without fighting. If they really fight, the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty will not be afraid of anyone."
"I'll be relieved if you say that." Princess Jincheng finally showed the true smile beyond the previous polite smile. After nodding slightly, she said, "As for the offspring you mentioned, I have long been able to see it and cannot force it. Not to mention me, no one in the other concubines in Zanpu Palace has ever heard of good news so far."
"Since that's the case, please take care of your health." Zhang Xing bowed deeply again. Seeing Princess Jincheng was surprised, he continued, "Your Lord should know that your great-grandfather, Princess Wencheng, did not die until fifty days after entering Tubo, even surpassing the holy life of Emperor Taizong. When she died, Zanpu Songzan Yubu, whom she married, had passed away for thirty years. After I entered Tubo, I had heard many legends about Princess Wencheng, from planting, craftsmanship to medicine, all kinds of things, which made the people grateful. I didn't want to compare the achievements of the two noble masters, but I wanted to say that the noble master entered Tibet when he was young and had once been determined to return to China. But since I couldn't do it, why not try to find what I could do in Tubo to make myself more comfortable?"
As soon as he said this, he saw that Princess Jincheng's face changed, as if she wanted to scold him for being rude and asked further. At that moment, he simply stood up and bowed and said, "The General has said that there have been many princesses with Fans throughout the Tang Dynasty. However, no one can surpass the two princesses of Fans and Tubo. Please think about it. Although Princess Wencheng was highly respected, Tubo had once been reigned during the reign of Lu Qinling.
Once in a row with the Tang Dynasty, the two countries had already become evil, but Princess Wencheng was still highly respected. What is the reason? The Tang Dynasty is the country of the Celestial Empire; Tubo is a great country. Although the two countries fought, they still did not hurt the princess's honor, which shows that the Tubo monarchy and ministers were enlightened, not like the Turks, Xi and even the Khitan and other tiger and wolf countries, which often harmed the princess. Therefore, please relax and mediate the dispute between the two countries with the princess of the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo praised Meng.
He said that Princess Jincheng and the Tang Envoy met alone, but how could Chi Biaozhu Dan be relieved? He had already taken Shang Qing to the corner of the wall. When Shang Qing translated Zhang Xing's words to him one by one, he was sometimes solemn and sometimes sneered. But when he heard that the Tang Envoy called Tubo a great country and believed that it was incomparable to the Turks, Xi, and Khitans, he couldn't help but show a hint of arrogant.
The Tang envoy this time is really not just talking, but his opinion is precise, how can Tubo be compared with Turks? Xi and Khitan?
"Zhang Lang deserves his reputation." Princess Jincheng said a few words gently. Thinking of the lonely days of these years, she could not hide her misery. "I don't want to learn from Princess Wencheng of that year, but I am a woman who is alone here, so what can I do?"
"Why did the Lord say this? The Tang Dynasty is the greatest supporter of the Lord. Say a dissatisfied word. If the princess came from a small country that was in danger of protection and could be annexed by others anytime and anywhere, how could she live in such a grand hall and be treated by Tubo's subjects? The marriage between the two countries is the link. I heard that the Lord once taught Chinese characters and poetry in the palace in the past. Therefore, when the Lord Shang Qing was sent to the Tang Dynasty, he was able to deeply appreciate his majesty's praise. This is the master's merit. I, the Lord, who is well-versed in the language and writing of Tubo, is unknown. Among the Tubo nobles, such as Lu Dongzan, and now the Lord Shang Qing, who is familiar with the Chinese language and writing of the Tang Dynasty, is very few.
Since your master did this back then, why not continue to do this in the future? If someone can communicate with your master in the language and writing of his hometown, can you relieve loneliness? As long as you have your own life and live your own glory, the rest of your worries will always be reduced."
Speaking of this, Princess Jincheng felt that the haze that had been shrouded on her head for many years had been dissolved a lot, and an unspeakable spirit seemed to have injected into her body from the top of her head. She pushed the handrail and stood up happily and said to Zhang Xing: "Zhang Lang's words are better than others' comfort. Thanks to you this time, you came to Tubo, and I will definitely ask for merit for you when I pay my respects to His Majesty the next day."
"The matters of Zhang Xing's duties are so important to you."
Hearing that there was no substantive content in it, but began to exchange the customs and customs of the two capitals, he had no interest in continuing to listen. Shang Qing, with a complicated expression, turned around and left. When he arrived at the copper bridge connecting the two halls, he suddenly stopped and said to Shang Qing: "This time, the Tang envoy was different from the last time Huangfu Weiming. When Huangfu Weiming came, it was when I didn't want to continue fighting with the Tang Dynasty. He saw through my intentions, so the two countries could negotiate peace. And Zhang Xing... what he could penetrate was the deepest part of the human heart."
Before he knew it, Chi Daizhudan thought that he was still very young and was the first time he saw Princess Jincheng on the day of the wedding when his grandmother was in power. Her skin was as white as goat's milk, her hair was as smooth and shiny as silk, and her eyes were like stars... He had never seen such exquisite and beautiful woman. However, more than twenty years passed, and the little girl of that year seemed to have disappeared into his memory with her old age. But now looking back, the memory is as vivid as the past.
Shang Qing was not sure about the true intention of bringing the pearl pill, and some didn't know how to interface. But he soon didn't have to worry because Zamp in front of him had once again recovered his usual coldness.
