"That's not true. Our defense is weak. The Southwest has insufficient troops. We can only barely expel the opponent. If we want to fight to get revenge, we can't. Our soldiers will soon lose Tubo's territory. If it weren't for this, I would have thought about it five years ago. Lead troops to destroy the opponent."

Du Shaoqing understood that it was because the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty couldn't handle the altitude sickness, "I am a doctor, but I can't cure the disease that the soldiers can't go to Tubo, that kind of disease must let the soldiers go to high places for a long time to train and get used to it, isn't it? It will be fine if you take medicine."

"You mean, you know how to train troops to adapt to the climate in Tubo? Haha, there is an unexpected surprise. I wanted you to be the young minister of Honglu Temple. You can talk to people here. After all, you are in Hebei with Goguryeo. It was a good talk, I didn't expect you to know a lot." Li Er said pleasantly.

The Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, from a senior member of the fourth rank, such a position is not low. Although he is only in charge of receiving foreign guests and other things, his official position is real. It can be seen that Li Er really intends to reuse him.

Chapter 178 A Marriage Again

As Wei Zheng said, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Just when Du Shaoqing entered the palace to face the saint, Changsun Wuji also learned about the murderer outside Youzhou City. This time the old fox was really angry, so vicious Du Shaoqing , time and time again, this time Chong'er was actually made sterile. Is this to make our eldest grandson's family have no descendants?

Will the eldest grandson's family die?Of course not, Changsun Chong still has two younger brothers, not counting the two who are born, there are also two younger brothers who were born in the concubine. Changsun Wuji is just holding a grudge. The prime minister Guojiu said that it is true that he is talented , but when it comes to the heart, it has to be divided into who, no one can guess.

Du Shaoqing took the position of Shaoqing of Honghe Temple, and promised the emperor to find time to meet the Tubo envoys for a while, and then went home from the palace. Li Er is quite interesting, the new mansion is really big. Du Shaoqing himself felt ashamed. He brought so much dowry when he married his daughter. It seems that the emperor's father-in-law is also a kind person.

He probably forgot that it was time for him to scold the emperor as Zhou's skinny, and it was even more unexpected to him that Princess Changle had passed the age of marriage long ago, and she had already become an old girl left, unable to get married.

In the harem, the queen hadn't seen her daughter and granddaughter for many days, and the Lizheng Hall became lively again.

Seeing her daughter's frowning, the queen comforted her and said, "Don't worry about that boy, your father asked him to come here this time to help, this boy has always had some crooked ideas, the last time he dealt with Goguryeo made your father They are all applauded, I don’t know if they can deal with Tubo this time.”

The princess took her mother's hand and said: "Mother, my daughter's marriage is always troublesome. Why don't you discuss it with the emperor and give us a marriage earlier, so as to save those irrelevant people from trouble."

Seeing her daughter's radiant glory, the queen patted the other's hand like a mirror in her heart, jokingly said, "How many days have you been since you came back to accompany your mother? Are you in such a hurry to get married? Turn your elbows out."

"Oh, mother, the child is not married far away. The emperor has already given him a mansion in Chang'an. Can I promise you to bring the child to accompany you every day?" the princess coquettishly said.

"Hahahaha, this is what you promised.

I have already discussed with your royal father, and I have recently issued a decree to give you a marriage, just considering the influence of the girl from the Wu family, so your royal father is still hesitating, you can't let people say us behind your back, say that our royal family is snobbish Now, seeing that Du Shaoqing is promising, he rushes to marry his daughter, which is not good. "

Hearing her mother's explanation, the princess said anxiously: "My daughter has already promised my husband to marry another younger sister from the Wu family. You and the emperor should not ruin that good thing again, or my husband will blame me."

What did you say?The queen immediately turned her face, "The concubine of the Tang Dynasty still wants to marry another wife? Where did the rules come from? This bastard, did he bully you? If that kid dares to like the new and dislike the old and despise you, I will never forgive him."

"No, Empress, you misunderstood, listen to my explanation."

The princess patiently explained the matter of Hebei Road to her mother. The queen was still frowning after hearing this, and watched her daughter intercede for the man time and time again. The queen sighed: "You silly child, your heart is too kind. It doesn't matter if you let him marry a younger one, and when you get older and old, won't you be afraid that the young and beautiful girl will steal your position?"

The princess shook her head and said: "My husband is not that kind of person. Besides, father is different. He has married many young and beautiful women, but doesn't he still love his mother the most?"

Well, if you say that, the queen really has nothing to refute.

"And my daughter thinks that we don't need to destroy the previous marriage contract. We can announce our affairs. There is nothing shameful. As long as the people approve, we don't have to worry about damaging the royal family's reputation. Maybe it will become a good story. You and the emperor don't have to think hard and cover up everywhere anymore. It can be said that killing three birds with one stone."

"Let me think about it. This matter involves too much and cannot be taken lightly." The queen waved her hand quickly, and she was dazzled by her daughter's words. Needless to say, these ideas must be that unscrupulous Du Shaoqingjiao of.

I don't know how the princess told the emperor. Anyway, two days later, the emperor decreed that Princess Changle be married to the new Shaoqing of Honglu Temple and Bodu Shaoqing of Zheng County. At the same time, he sent people to publicize their acquaintance and love The deeds say that five years ago the princess went out in distress and was accidentally rescued by Du Shaoqing.

This incident immediately became a hot spot in Chang'an City. With Du Shaoqing's secret operations, it was even sung as a love classic between the two, and was sought after by countless boys and girls who had just started their love affairs. Du Shaoqing became angry.

Such a strong public opinion, even those stubborn people who want to point out the faults of the etiquette and law, do not dare to make too many complaints. The whole Chang'an is touting, and the emperor and empress are moved to tears by it. Who would dare Go up and pour cold water?

But there are always people who are not happy, that is, Tubo came to envoy Lu Dongzan and his party. In the guest house post of Honglu Temple, Lu Dongzan was so angry that he slapped the table.

The deputy envoy of Tubo complained: "We are here to beg Princess Changle on behalf of the lord. Datang deliberately let us not say anything. What do you mean by betrotting the princess to someone else at this time? Are you bullying our small country? How can we explain to the king when we go back?"

Lu Dongzan asked: "Immediately draw up a letter to question Datang's rudeness and negligence."

"The book has already been handed in, but Tang Jian, the minister of the Honglu Temple, is very arrogant, and I am afraid it will have little effect.

Prime Minister, now that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is so tough, it is a done deal, Princess Changle should be missed, what shall we do?go back? "The deputy envoy is not sure.

A group of Tubo envoys in the house all looked at Lu Dongzan. It can be said that Tubo worked hard this time, and the person sent was Lu Dongzan, the most trusted minister of the king.

"Or the general said, let's go back and send troops to attack Datang, and see if they dare to treat us Tubo so rudely?" a Tubo general said angrily.

Lu Dongzan scolded sharply: "Shut up, a reckless man who only knows how to fight, can he beat Tang Dynasty in war? Don't you know why we are asking for marriage?"

The deputy envoy explained: "We came here for the most honorable Princess Changle in the Tang Dynasty. Now that the princess is gone, it seems that the operation has failed."

"A group of idiots can't marry Princess Changle, isn't there other princesses? The ruler of the country is a hero, so how can he stare at a woman?" Lu Dongzan reprimanded, only he knew in his heart that the purpose of the marriage is not to marry someone , but the dowry belongings that followed the princess to Tubo, which can make Tubo truly powerful.

Chapter 179 Du Shaoqing's Dowry Gift

"Special envoy, someone from Honglu Temple sent a message saying that the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple has invited us to meet in three days." The servant came to report.

Lu Dongzan opened it, frowned and said, "Young Minister of Honglu Temple? Du Shaoqing? Isn't this the one who is engaged to Princess Changle? What does it mean that he wants to meet us now?

Come, quickly investigate in the city and find out everything about this Du Shaoqing. "

After all, he is the Prime Minister of Tubo, and it is a good plan to join forces with Songtsan Gampo to dominate the plateau. Lu Dongzan is well aware of the truth of knowing himself and the enemy, but the results of the investigation shocked him a little. He thought that Du Shaoqing was just a diplomat, but he did not expect The other party turned out to be very capable, not counting mining and medical skills, but he still had military exploits in Hebei?When did Datang produce another young figure with all-round talents?

No wonder the emperor was so anxious to marry his daughter to him, it was obvious that he wanted to tie her to Datang's chariot and reuse him.

As Lu Dongzan said, after Du Shaoqing received the marriage gift, he went to the palace to visit his wife and children, and at the same time thanked the emperor and his wife.

In the Lizheng Palace, the princess smiled and asked her husband: "Husband, the emperor father and the queen mother are so reasonable and have already agreed to your marriage with sister Wu. How are you going to thank them?"

Du Shaoqing took out a small box from his bosom and said to himself: "I have prepared it long ago. The Du family inherited the secret system, and the three-day life-saving pill, no matter how serious the injury is internally or externally, taking this pill can temporarily protect you." Life, although saving life for three days is an exaggeration, but at least there is time to go to the doctor.

This thing is a family heirloom, so I won’t take it lightly.”

The princess grabbed the box and scolded, "No, how much pressure did the empress father put on you? You just took this one pill to settle the matter?"

Seeing his wife's rare girlish temper, Du Shaoqing was amused, "Then how do you say I want to repay? Our family is poor and we only have a newly built mansion. In addition, the 3000 taels of silver rewarded by His Majesty before will be sent to me." gone."

"You, your husband, don't pretend to be confused, you must know that the father is so kind to you, don't you just want you to go to the court to help him?

In the past, it was fine if you didn't want to, but now that you are the son-in-law of the emperor, even for the sake of the concubine and the children, you can't just let your father-in-law suffer and suffer. "Li Lizhi pointed at Du Shaoqing and shouted.

Du Shaoqing laughed loudly, who said that the married daughter splashed the water?It doesn't seem to work, the princess wants to push her husband forward for the sake of her natal family.

Stretching out his hand to grab Princess Yubai's finger, Du Shaoqing nodded with a smile and said: "Madam has given orders, so naturally I dare not do nothing as a husband, I just hope that my father-in-law can be more magnanimous, in case I make a mistake or something, don't punish Mrs. ruthless.

Hey, it's just a pity that the family's inn in Luoxia Town is missing. "

Flirting with her husband in the Lizheng Palace, the princess shyly pulled her finger back, and said comfortingly: "The inn is still here, and it would be great if we can go to live in seclusion in the countryside when we get old."

Du Shaoqing stretched out his right hand and said: "Since I was asked to dedicate myself to the court to thank you, should Madam return the elixir to me? It is a precious family heirloom."

The princess hugged the medicine box in her arms, and cursed with a smile: "It's beautiful, you should respect the elders for such a precious thing, don't think I don't know, there is another one in the sister of Wu's sister, what kind of heirloom, you use it to deceive It belongs to a girl."

At this moment, the queen came from the bedroom with the child, and said to Du Shaoqing: "You kid took such a big advantage of us, and you sent us away with a single pill? Absolutely not.

You go out and ask, don't talk about the Tang Dynasty, even in the past dynasties, which son-in-law can still have polygamy? "

Du Shaoqing's foot slipped, and he thought to himself, our husband and wife are flirting and cursing, and you are doing something bad again.
