I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Chiling is today's Riyue Mountain. It looks like spitting fire from a distance, and looks like stained with blood when looking up close. It got its name because when you look at the mountains from a distance, "the earth and rocks are all red, and the red ground is hairless."

It is located on the border between Tang Dynasty and Tubo and is one of the important roads into Tubo.

This is indeed a good place to choose for mutual trading.

"Your Majesty, if there is a mutual trade, there will be a lot involved. It seems that I still need to discuss it." Fang Xuanling said to Li Shimin.

After all, the Tubo envoy is here, and there are certain things that cannot be said in front of him.

Li Shimin also felt that this was true, so he said:

"Tubo envoy, this matter does involve too much. I will make a decision after discussing it with the ministers."

"Your Majesty the Emperor, this time I, Tubo, have come with sincerity. We, Zampu, are willing to make peace with the Tang Dynasty and not invade each other.

Moreover, Zanpu said that if His Majesty the Emperor can agree, Zanpu is willing to marry Princess Samga to His Highness King Ji and marry him with the Tang Dynasty. "

Sangyang Dunye said.

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent, and Li Shimin frowned and looked at Sangyang Dunie.

Marry Samgar to King Ji?

"Your Majesty, I think this is a good thing. Tubo has been wanting to marry me, Tang Dynasty, for many years.

Now that we are willing to marry the princess of Tubo to our Highness Prince Ji, this will help the peaceful coexistence between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.

It can also be regarded as a good story. "Shang Shuzuo Cheng Zheng Jingsi stood up and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, opening a mutual trade will benefit both our countries, and it will also stabilize the border.

There is no more war between the two countries, so why not? "Lu Chengqing, Minister of Civil Affairs, also agreed.

"It's just that this matter involves King Ji. I thought I would make plans after asking King Ji." Fang Xuanling once again wanted to wait for the Tibetan envoy to leave and discuss it privately.

"Prince Ji is a prince, and the marriage is for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. I think it is enough as long as His Majesty agrees." A doctor from the Pei family in Hedong stood up and retorted.

Next, officials from the five surnames, the seven surnames, and the eight families began to come forward to support the opening of mutual markets and marriages.

The older group, headed by Fang Xuanling's eldest son, Sun Wuji, argued that they could not agree immediately but needed to make a decision after deliberation, and they did not agree with the marriage.

Li Shimin frowned as he watched the endless debate below. He was wondering what Tibet's purpose was.

It is not difficult to guess the opening of the mutual market, but the marriage and the marriage with Prince Ji by name are even more difficult to figure out.

"Well, since we want to marry King Ji, let's listen to his opinion.

Someone comes and summons King Ji into the palace. "Li Shimin interrupted the argument between the two groups.

At the critical moment, we have to bring out this troublemaker.

In fact, whether or not to open a mutual market is a dispensable matter for Li Shimin or Datang.

It doesn't matter whether they are united or not, this is the embodiment of the strength of a powerful country.

Soon Li Shen hurried over with a eunuch.

Li Shen's hair was messy, he was yawning, and he was pulled out of the bed.

"My son, see Aye. I don't know what Aye's orders were for summoning my son so early." After Li Shen greeted Li Shimin, he yawned again.

When Li Shimin looked at Li Shen, his appearance had not changed at all from when he was a child, he was still so casual.

"Prince Ji, just now the Tubo envoy said that he wants to make peace with me, the Tang Dynasty, and build a good relationship between Qin and Jin Dynasty. I wonder what you think." Li Shimin asked.

"Haha~~~" Li Shen breathed again.

"Haye, are they going to sacrifice the princess, or are they going to marry our princess.

The princess who marries us doesn't feel the need to get married. It doesn't matter if she offers her as a gift. "

Li Shen half-squinted his eyes, his mind drifting away from the sky. He was now in a half-asleep and half-awake state.

"His Royal Highness King Ji, Tubo is planning to marry Princess Samgar to you, Your Highness." Yuchi Jingde reminded.

"Well, that's good." Li Shen nodded, but soon felt something was wrong.

"What, who is marrying whom?" Li Shen opened his eyes and asked loudly.

"Tubo Zanpu requested to open a mutual trade with the Tang Dynasty in Chiling, and for the sake of peace and stability between the two countries, he wants to marry Samga to you.

What do you think? Li Shimin asked Li Shen while sitting on it.

"Marry me? No! How could this king be worthy of the princess of Tubo?

Deputy Prime Minister, could you please go back and tell your Zanpu that I am not worthy? Tell your Zanpu,

Sorry, he's a good guy. "Li Shen turned his head and said to Sangyang Dunie affectionately.

Li Shen's words caught Sangyang Dunne off guard and left the ministers present speechless.

His Highness Prince Ji's words were still so far-fetched that he even said that he, a majestic prince, was not worthy of the Tubo princess.

Everyone knew that Li Shen was refusing, but they shouldn't belittle themselves like this.

Li Shimin had a headache for a while, and his son was as out of character as ever.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, this is also to promote mutual trade between our two countries.

Mutual trade is beneficial to both our countries. It can not only increase interests, but also enhance the friendly relations between our two countries, killing two birds with one stone. "

Sangyang Dunie advised.

"Oh, it turns out it's to open a mutual market." Li Shen suddenly realized, and then continued.

"Well, there are indeed great benefits to opening a mutual market, and I also think it is good to open a mutual market.

But forget about marrying the princess, we only talk about opening the stock market. "Li Shen nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Ji also agrees to the opening of mutual trade between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. As we all know, His Highness Prince Ji has made great achievements among merchants." Zheng Jingsi advised.

"Your Majesty, I also think we can listen to His Highness Prince Ji's opinion." The scheming Fang Xuanling surprisingly did not refute.

He knew that as long as King Ji was involved in something, it would definitely not be that simple.

He also wanted to hear some of Li Shen's opinions on the mutual market.

"Old Shi, since you agree, tell me what you think." Li Shimin nodded.

"Aye, I don't have any ideas for opening a mutual market. Isn't it just to find a place on the border where two groups of people can exchange things with each other?"

"Indeed." Li Shimin nodded.

After hearing this, Li Shen asked Sangyang Dune:

"We can agree to open a mutual market, but you have to show some sincerity."

"Sincerity? What kind of sincerity is His Highness Prince Ji talking about?" Sangyang Dune was stunned.

"Sincerity! You don't understand sincerity, how can you be the deputy prime minister?

It’s about benefits, benefits, what benefits can you give us by opening a mutual market. "Li Shen looked at Sangyang Dune with disdain.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, opening a mutual trade is beneficial to both countries. Why should we, Tubo, give benefits to the Tang Dynasty?" Sangyang Dunie was a little confused.

"Why should we open a trade with you if you don't give us any benefits? Do you think you are very smart?" Li Shen said disdainfully.

"This...Your Highness Prince Ji, mutual trading is a matter of fair trade, and it is also something that can promote good relations between our two countries. Why..."

"Because you need us, but we don't need you." Li Shen interrupted Sangyang Dune's words.
