Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

"Congratulations to King Yan for being promoted to the Sixth Disposal of the Western Regions. Once you sign an alliance with Tubo, you will have another great addition to your merit list."

After the court was over, Yao Chong caught up from behind and said with a smile.

Glancing at him, Fan Xin smiled lightly and said meaningfully.

"I dare to ask Prime Minister Yao, has Fengge Luantai received any news about such a big thing as the friendship between the two countries?"

Yao Chong was stunned, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he frowned.

"Fengge Luantai doesn't know about this matter. What King Yan means is..."

Having been in officialdom for many years, Fan Xin's words immediately made him notice something unusual.

Yes, such a big deal as the alliance between Tubo and Datang was actually communicated through personal letters, which shows that the Tubo court did not reach a consensus...

Seeing that Yao Chong understood what he meant, Fan Xin glanced around.

"The truce with her relatives was only the intention of the Tubo Queen Mother, and those warring factions did not agree."

"Once the marriage team enters Tubo without permission, do you think they will quietly watch the alliance between the two countries?"

Yao Chong was suddenly startled and stared at Fan Xin in disbelief.

"You mean His Majesty sent you and Princess Jincheng to die on purpose?"

"It's not that I'm going to die, but we are sending powerful ministers like us who have our own power to die together. If you don't believe it, just watch. Your seal will come soon."

After taking a look at Yao Chong who was sweating coldly, Fan Xin patted him on the shoulder, mounted the donkey and left the palace.

The trip to Tubo was bound to be dangerous and dangerous, so he had to prepare in advance.

Li Longji wanted to use this trick to get rid of him, but he was a little too naive.

Looking at the retreating figure, Yao Chong wiped his cold sweat and took a long breath. Just as he was about to get on the sedan and leave, a sharp voice sounded.

"Hold on, Prime Minister Yao, your Majesty has a decree to convey to you."

With a bang, Yao Chong froze on the spot, his heart suddenly turned cold.

Fan Xin was right, the emperor was really going to take action against him.

"Yao Xiang?"

"What's wrong with you?" Gao Lishi's questioning voice sounded in his ears.

After coming back to his senses, Yao Chong cheered up and forced a smile.

"I'm sorry, Eunuch Gao, I've been feeling a little unwell lately. It's okay."

"It's okay. You are His Majesty's most trusted minister. Jiangshan Sheji still relies on you to help take care of it."

Gao Lishi laughed twice, took out the imperial edict from his arms and unfolded it slowly.

"Your Majesty has a decree that the alliance between the two countries will benefit the country, the country, and the country. It cannot be expressed in words without being an important official of the country. Therefore, Yao Chong is appointed as the envoy of the Six Paths of the Western Regions. He rushes to Tubo with King Yan to express his gratitude..."

"Prime Minister Yao, would you please accept the order?"

Looking at Gao Lishi with a smile on his face, Yao Chong endured the sadness in his heart and took the imperial edict with trembling hands.

"Old minister, thank you for your grace!"

After bowing, Yao Chong got into the sedan chair and left the palace gate with a sad look on his face.

It wasn't until he disappeared at the end of the street that Gao Lishi returned to the Wanxiang Shrine.

"How's it going? How did Yao Chong react?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Prime Minister Yao didn't say anything. He took the imperial edict and left. I thought he didn't know his intention."

Li Longji sneered, walked to the rooftop with his hands behind his back, and looked at the land of China in the distance, with a look of solemnity on his brows.

"You underestimate Yao Chong too much. How can he be a mediocre person if he can become a prime minister?"

"But it doesn't matter even if I know. I am the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. As long as they don't rebel, I must accept this conspiracy!

……

In the early morning of the next day, as the sun slowly climbed up to the horizon, Yingtian Gate slowly opened.

Two thousand armored Habayashi guards lined up holding the imperial flag.

Behind them a golden carriage followed.

The person sitting inside was Princess Jincheng who got married again.

Since it was King Yan and Prime Minister Yao who escorted the marriage, two thousand more guards were sent to the back of the team.

"King Yan, Prime Minister Yao, this marriage is related to the alliance between the two countries. I leave it to you!"

At the gate of the city, Li Longji, wearing a five-clawed golden dragon suit, bowed to the two of them.

“Your Majesty, don’t worry, we will definitely send Princess Jincheng to Luoxie (Lhasa) safely.

Fan Xin and Yao Chong hugged the emperor, mounted their horses and followed the team away.

When the team left Luoyang, Yao Chong said with a smile on his face.

"It's better to leave Luoyang for a while, so as not to be burdened with state affairs all day long."

Hearing this, Fan Xin was a little surprised. The old guy was worried yesterday. Why has his temper changed today?

As if he knew what he was thinking, Yao Chong laughed.

"You don't have to look at me like this. Who in the world doesn't know that you, Prince Yan, like to prepare for rainy days."

"Tell me, how to deal with the impending death?"

Fan Xin didn't expect that the old man would actually plot against him, and he felt angry.

"There's no way to prepare for a rainy day. It's just the soldiers coming to cover up the water and the earth. Come on!"

"Do you think I will believe you?"

Yao Chong shook his head, flicked his whip and followed.

This trip to Tubo was the same as when Princess Wencheng married Songtsen Gampo, and she followed the ancient Tang-Fan Road.

There are many built inns and towns on the way westward.

When night fell, the team stopped at a village called Mahuaipo.

The old guy was probably tired after a long day's journey, so he ate some solid food and went to catch up on his sleep.

Fan Xin inspected the village as usual and was about to take a rest when a resentful flute sound suddenly came from the river.

"You go patrol the camp first, and I'll go take a look." He signaled the eighteen personal guards to patrol on their own, and Fan Xin came to the river alone.

Quietly looking at the woman in front of her, fate made her embark on the same path as Princess Wencheng.

This road spans six thousand miles. Going from the prosperous Tang Dynasty to a barren and barren plateau would probably be scary for anyone.

Not to mention living there for decades.

After playing the song, Princess Jincheng sighed and looked back at Fan Xin.

"King Yan, this is the second time you and I have met. I didn't expect the ending to be the same."

Sensing the sadness in Princess Jincheng's tone, Fan Xin frowned slightly.

"Your Highness, aren't you willing to marry Chide Zuzan?"

"You must know that he is the king of Tubo. If you marry him, you will be Ketun (Queen)."

Princess Jincheng smiled, with a hint of sadness in her expression.

"It doesn't matter if you want it or not? I'm just a lowly adopted daughter. Isn't the reason why I was named a princess just for marriage?"

"If I don't go, do you think the court can still let me live?"

Strictly speaking, this was Fan Xin's first time alone with Princess Jincheng.

I didn't understand this woman's thoughts before, but now it seems that Princess Jincheng is not willing to marry to the Tubo Plateau.

"Since you don't want to go, I have a way to get you out of your fate."

"Oh, please tell me what you can do?" Princess Jincheng's beautiful eyes lit up and she stared at Fan Xin closely, clenching her little hands and breathing quickly.

"This method is..." Fan Xin leaned into Princess Jincheng's ear and said a few words.
