"Sister Yingrao, don't cry anymore, don't worry, my elder brother will definitely help you." Wang Xue wiped Zhu Yingrao's face sympathetically.

Zhao Lianer also comforted her: "Yes, my brother will definitely not let you marry to Yunnan, and you will marry an old man!"

"I really don't understand why we girls should let us kiss you? What did we girls do wrong... Just because we are girls, we have to become other people's playthings?" Xu Miaojin pinched her waist and started to fight directly.

Zhu Lang looked at Zhu Yingrao who was crying miserably, so he touched the other party's head and said, "Okay, Yingrao, don't cry anymore. I will help you negotiate with your father about this matter, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

"Brother Lang... would you like to help me?" Zhu Yingrao stopped her voice and looked at Zhu Lang and asked pitifully.

"Will..." Zhu Lang looked at Zhu Yingrao and smiled: "Because the glory of the Ming Dynasty cannot be placed on women." After saying that, Zhu Lang shouted outside: "Prepare a carriage, I want to enter the palace."

"Yes..." Zhao Ling bowed quickly and went to prepare the carriage.

....................................

"A quarter of an hour ago Yingrao arrived at the Narcissus Village, and now Langdi has come to the palace."

Zhu Biao stood beside Zhu Yuanzhang and bowed slightly.

"Oh...Is Ying Rao asking Lang'er?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and asked slightly, "Biao'er, what would he do when Lang'er comes here? Should he persuade us to marry, or to give up?"

"Langdi is a person who takes the overall situation into consideration, but I can't guess what Langdi thinks." Zhu Biao didn't know how to answer.

"What about you... are you willing or unwilling to marry this time?" Zhu Yuanzhang threw the question to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said, "The marriage was used by Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, to consolidate the relationship between the Central Plains and ethnic minorities after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, thus ushering in an opportunity for development for himself.

The main reason is that when facing the dilapidated historic situation, the country no longer had too much funds and troops to devote itself to the war of force, so it had to reconcile with the ethnic minorities in such a compromise way, thus bringing corresponding breathing time to its own development.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, he completely defeated the Huns with the powerful military strength of the Han Dynasty. At this moment, the Huns also understood the gap between the two. In order to be able to hold the Han Dynasty tightly, they took the initiative to show weakness to the Han Dynasty by marriage.

During the Tang Dynasty, marriage kins reached their peak. During the 289 years of the Tang Dynasty's existence, there were 28 marriage kins. Most of them were women with meritorious officials, or princesses in the royal family.

The benefits these women's efforts brought countless benefits to the rulers of the Tang Dynasty. Gradually, many rulers of the Tang Dynasty also used this system as their life-saving talisman, thereby improving their relationship with ethnic minorities.

To a certain extent, the marriage system brought many benefits to the Tang Dynasty, greatly stabilized the Tang Dynasty's Central Plains regime, and also obtained a series of benefits for the Tang Dynasty.

First of all, for a ruler, in his ruling career, the people of the world must be kept in a harmonious state of peace and prosperity. Only by reducing war can the country's development be promoted and the country's military strength be enhanced.

Therefore, it is best to sacrifice a woman's happiness to ease the war and bring harmony to the other side. In addition, in the eyes of other ethnic minorities, it would be extremely honorable if the leader of his own tribe could marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, only by building a good and intimate relationship with the princess of marriage can we promote the close connection between ethnic minorities and the Tang Dynasty. We can not only obtain a series of rich benefits from the Tang Dynasty, but also change the economic development trend of the tribe and create a stable life situation.

It’s like Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo.”

"You mean to agree to the marriage!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded at Zhu Biao.

"I mean, maybe Ying Rao can be used to change to a royal family or a woman who is willing to go to Yunnan. This is also the case. After all, Ying Rao has already had a marriage contract and the other sisters are still young, so this is not caused by us." Zhu Biao said lightly.

"Well... what you said is also a solution. If you can sacrifice a woman, you can switch to Yunnan. We are still willing. But I don't know what your Langdi is. I always feel that he will strongly oppose it." Zhu Yuanzhang picked up his Yu Ruyi and scratched his back and said, "Yunhuan, we like Yunxuan very much.

When these two little guys come, they will tickle us.

Logically, Langer should like it very much, but Langer only loves Yunhuan. Don’t forget that Langer once disdained the Tang Dynasty’s marriage.”

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Erhu outside reported: "Your Majesty, Prince Taiping will meet you."

"Okay..." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Then Zhu Lang walked in in a princely garment, his eyes were scary. After looking at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, Zhu Lang changed his previous expressions and bowed respectfully with a serious face: "My minister Zhu Lang met Your Majesty, and the Crown Prince."

"Stand up, give me a seat..." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly.

Zhu Biao was a little surprised: "Brother Lang, what are you doing?"

Zhu Lang sat in his position and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao and said, "The purpose of my visit this time is very simple, I hope Your Majesty will not marry you. Of course, I admit that marriage has many benefits, but the recoil brought by marriage is also very strong.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the 15th year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin ordered the 17-year-old Princess Wencheng to marry far away. Princess Wencheng bid farewell to her parents, left her hometown, and embarked on the journey of marrying from Tubo far away. The marriage team set off from Chang'an, passed through Xining, crossed the Sun and Moon Mountain, and finally arrived in Lhasa.

At the age of 17, she is young and in her youth, but Wencheng is also a ignorant little girl, but her weak shoulders are already carrying the burden of marriage.

To put it bluntly, the woman who married her is a hostage. Fortunately, Princess Wencheng is behind the prosperous Tang Dynasty. If she could guide and regulate it well, then the Tubo royal family would not and dare not make things difficult for Princess Wencheng.

Moreover, Princess Wencheng is a virtuous woman. She not only helped Songtsen Gampo in governing the country, but also the dowry she brought when she was married was also very "luxury".

"The Hereditary Mingjian of the Tubo Dynasty" records that Princess Wencheng's dowry included "Shi Ying Buddha statues, treasures, gold and jade bookcases, 360 volumes of classics, various gold and jade ornaments", and there were many cooking skills, various beverages, various patterns and patterns of brocade quilts, 300 divination classics, 60 creation and craftsmanship works, 100 medical prescriptions for treating 404 diseases, 4 medical treatises, 5 diagnostic methods, and 6 medical devices. She also brought Wu Jing Seeds and others to the collection.

It has to be said that Princess Wencheng went to marry Tubo Songtsen Gampo, creating a new era of friendship between the Tang and the Tubo.

Wencheng's entry into Tibet to get along with relatives has benefited the Tubo people a lot, and at the same time promoted cultural exchanges between Han and Tibet, which played an important role in promoting ethnic integration. The Tubo people called Wen Cheng "Jamusa" (in Tibetan, "Jamusa" means "Han", "Mu" means "female", and "Sa" means gods and immortals), which shows Wen Cheng's status in their hearts.

All of this seems to be developing in a good direction, but the nine-year marriage and all the beauty came to an abrupt end with the death of Songtsen Gampo.

In 650 AD, the second year after Li Shimin died, Songtsen Gampo suddenly died. At this time, Princess Wencheng was only 26 years old and in her prime.

Although the records about Princess Wencheng gradually decreased since then, we can judge Wencheng's difficult situation from the subtle relationship between the Tang and the Turkish Republic.

Since Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng did not give birth to children, the new Emperor of Tubo was Songtsen Gampo's young grandson Mang Songmangzan.

Because of his young age, the power fell into the hands of Prime Minister Lu Dongzan. Under the leadership of Lu Dongzan, the relationship between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty gradually became rigid. More than ten years later, the power of Tubo reached its peak. In order to satisfy his expansion ambitions, the ambitious Lu Dongzan sent troops to eliminate Tuyuhun, who had become an affiliation of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Princess Wencheng was 39 years old.

Faced with the provocation of Tubo, Emperor Gaozong of Tang could not bear it anymore. He sent Xue Rengui, who was good at fighting, to fight west to face the enemy. He attacked Tubo several times, and then broke up. This made Princess Wencheng, who stayed in Tubo's widow, very sad. Although Wencheng tried his best to reconcile, she, a weak woman, had no power in her hands and could only be secretly hurt.

In 680 AD, Wen Cheng died lonely in Lhasa due to infection with smallpox at the age of 56.

Your Majesty, what does this matter tell us... It's very simple. Marrying the princess over will not solve the problem. Although when Songtsen Gampo was alive, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo maintained temporary peace, once Songtsen Gampo died, the relationship between Tubo and Tang Dynasty was directly reversed, and the Hundred Years War began.

We need to understand that the relationship between two countries is not because one or two of them can change. The real decisive factor is the real interests of the country.

What's even more terrifying is that when Princess Wencheng went to Tubo, she brought a lot of dowry, including many handicrafts, seeds of grains, seeds of vegetables, medicinal materials, tea, calendars, some production books, some technical production books, and other cultural classics. Then the introduction of these technologies greatly promoted the economic and cultural development and progress of Tubo.

In the following time, the Tubo Dynasty first digested and absorbed this technical knowledge for a period of time (it happened to be the peace period of Songtsen Gampo). When these technologies were almost digested, they showed their majestic fangs and began to bite the Tang Empire.

When the Tang Empire began to decline, and later the Anshi Rebellion, Tubo's strength was too strong, and it once occupied Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty. If it weren't for the rumors that Tubo people were drunk with oxygen (anton of non-plateau people would have hypoxia on the plateau), the consequences might have been even more serious.

Your Majesty, what we can accomplish in this generation does not need to be left to the next generation. The so-called marriage required by Yunnan is just to delay time and to survive. If you want peace, don’t have any threats.

They want to rest and leave the problem to the next generation. Will you do this, Your Majesty?"

"No... This generation of things will end this generation, and we must never leave the matter to the next generation. Lang'er, we understand what you said. The marriage only delays the problem. If Ying Rao really marrys King Liang, then King Liang is almost dead. If another king comes up, the other party will tear down the promise. Yes... You are right. We thought about it and you are right. Why not go back to the messenger of Yunnan tomorrow and tell him that if you want to fight, the moment he leaves, it is the time when my Ming Dynasty attacks Yunnan."

"Dad is wise..." Zhu Lang smiled at this time and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"You... say whatever you have, and give us this one..." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled at Zhu Lang.

"Dad...I suggest that we don't talk about the marriage between Yunnan and delay time before telling the Yunnan envoy, "Give me some time, and fifty Flang machine cannons can be completed. We can hold a military parade to bring together the Yunnan envoys and other countries.

Let them see our new artillery and let these foreign envoys know the military power of our Ming Dynasty."

"Haha... this is good... OK... Lang'er, just do it as you said, hold a military parade, just like the last maritime inspection team, we must let those people know that the combat power of our Ming Dynasty is not what these guys want to have bad ideas...!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed haha.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the matter to Zhu Biao and Zhu Lang. Zhu Yuanzhang, who had removed a thought, had a physical and mental pleasure and continued to work hard.

Walking out of the hall, Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Lang and said, "Brother Lang, you are more suitable to be the prince than me..."

"Brother... I'm not suitable to be the prince, because I have never thought of being the prince, and it's even more impossible to be the prince. The prince is yours, so don't have any burden. Remember, I, Zhu Lang, always stand by your side..." As he said that, Zhu Lang looked at Zhu Biao and smiled: "When you say one day, Brother Lang, I don't want your assistance. At that time, I will go to Baodao, where there is a place called Kenting, and I want to surf there.

Then I will keep guarding there, so it will be no vain for me to come to the Ming Dynasty.”

"Clam...what were you saying?" Zhu Lang said something lightly, so Zhu Biao didn't hear it. At this time, Zhu Lang looked into the distance.

Zhu Lang's heart was also complicated at this time. While he adapted to his current life, he was also unforgettable about modern things. These things remained in Zhu Lang's heart forever.

At the same time, Zheng Jiucheng found the Minister of Justice and handed Duan Ying the portrait to the Minister of Justice. Soon, the arresting document was brought down, and Duan Ying was about to be exposed!
