"The second couplet of me is called "Tao Qiang Jinjiang Dike". I wonder how the emperor thinks this second couplet is paired with." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

In fact, the couplet "Smoke Locking the Willows in the pond" has been linked to many lower couplets, but Zhang Nan's favorite is the lower couplet "Tao Rises the Jinjiang Dike". Although the parallelism is not very neat, for example, the radicals above are not all neat, but the artistic conception is better.

When he heard Zhang Nan just match the couplet that stumped him, Comrade Li Er's face was naturally a bit bad, but since Zhang Nan was right, and this second couplet seemed to be excellent in Li Er's opinion, Li Er had nothing to say.

Li Er waved his hand and then said, "Okay, this pair is right. I wonder what Qingquan, you want this Master Danqing to do? Yan Aiqing has been waiting here for a long time."

In order to hide his embarrassment, Li Er had to call him and let him go.

"This is simple. You only need Lord Yan to draw their heroic figures for the two generals, and then you are sticking the portrait at the door. In this way, aren't the two generals standing guard for the emperor all the time?" Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"Hey, yes, why didn't I expect it? Come on, Yan Aiqing quickly painted for the two generals." Li Er agreed with Zhang Nan's method very much. In Li Er's opinion, if this method was used, the effect was the same as the two of them standing guard for him.

When Yan Liben heard Li Er's order, he felt that he had bowed his hand. Then Yan Liben began to spread red paper to paint. Before long, the painting was done. Li Er also asked Liu Bing to paste the painting at the door of his bedroom.

After Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong and Yu Shinan and Yan Liben left, Li Er let Zhang Nan sit in front of him.

"By the way, Qingquan, I have been in poor health in the past two days and have accumulated a lot of political affairs. But I still have to say that Tubo sent an envoy to propose marriage to our Tang Dynasty, hoping that our Tang Dynasty could marry a princess to build the good things of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. What do you think?"

This incident was already informed when Li Er returned to the Tang Dynasty, but Li Er fell ill after returning to the Tang Dynasty, so this incident was temporarily put on hold.

When Zhang Nan heard this, a sneer passed through his face, and then said, "This matter is mainly about you, Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"I? I think it's not bad. I'll marry a royal family girl to not only appease Tubo, but also reflect the style of my Tang Dynasty. Why not do it?" Li Er stroked his beard and said.

When Zhang Nan heard Li Er say this, he knew that his guess was correct.

Li Er is indeed the same as his historical ideas. Even though Zhang Nan helped the Tang Dynasty improve its national strength so much, Li Er's ideas still remain unchanged.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Li Er having this idea.

The main reason is that the Tang Dynasty's current territory is too large, and whether the Tang Dynasty has enough population to manage these places. It consumes huge national strength to mobilize Tubo, and Tubo itself has strong military capabilities and natural terrain advantages.

Moreover, Tubo did not firmly oppose the Tang Dynasty, so the Tang Dynasty and Tubo have always been in a state of separation and reunion.

Even if the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has increased now, Comrade Li Er is not very interested in Tubo. In Li Er's eyes, Tubo is a bitter and cold place. Without a large population, there will be no taxes. Without a tax, there will be no taxes. Without a tax, there will be no use for Li Er. If Tubo is captured, Li Er will still send troops to guard the border and guard a place where chickens cannot lay eggs and birds cannot poop, which is absolutely undeserved.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty has successively conquered the Turks and Goguryeo, and Li Er needs to digest them. Before these two pieces of land have been eaten, Li Er does not want to use troops anymore, so Li Er is willing to marry a royal family girl and use a woman to comfort the border in exchange for border stability. Li Er is still willing to do this business.

"Your Majesty, you actually have nothing to do with saying this." Zhang Nan said.

"Yes, it seems that you and I have the same idea." Li Er nodded, feeling that a hero had a similar feeling.

"Since you are afraid of it, what else can I say?" Zhang Nan continued.

"Are I afraid? What are you afraid of?" Li Er asked with a strange look. Although Li Er didn't like to listen to what Zhang Nan said, Li Er still asked patiently.

"Your Majesty, you are going to have a marriage tribute, so what else can I say? Since the emperor has placed the stability of the border on a woman, then I naturally support it." Zhang Nan spread his hands.

Zhang Nan said this and wanted to change Li Er's idea. Zhang Nan's idea was very simple. With him, it would definitely be impossible to continue the marriage. For Zhang Nan, marriage is a manifestation of incompetence. Although from some perspectives, this is the most suitable national policy, Zhang Nan does not agree with this method.

"What do you mean?" Li Er frowned. Li Er was very dissatisfied with what Zhang Nan said. After all, Zhang Nan's attitude was not very good.

"What I mean is that since your thoughts have not changed until now, then we might as well change the military academy and stop training troops. From then on, swords and swords are put into the warehouse, and horses are put into Nanshan. Someone will come to beat us. We will marry a woman and get married. Wouldn't we get married? What military system should we make? Let's ask the Tiangong Ministry to clean up and retreat. It's better to build a few big houses, and then everyone will build people every day, so that there will be no enough daughters in the future."

"Rareless!" Li Er was angry when he heard Zhang Nan say this.

"Did you say it wrong? I think you are not wrong." Zhang Nan still looked smiling.

Zhang Nan just wanted to make Li Er angry so that Li Er could stop the idea of ​​marriage. There will be a second such thing, and Zhang Nan doesn't want to start this.

"Qingquan, you are too presumptuous. Is this your attitude to talk to me?" Li Er had a cold face. It seemed that not only what Zhang Nan said made Li Er annoyed, but Zhang Nan's attitude also made Comrade Li Er unhappy.

"The emperor is worse than this. Since you think marriage is useful, it is better to call all the adults in the court tomorrow. Let's have a meeting to see if it is a marriage or a marriage is not good. What do you think?" Zhang Nan said.

When Li Er heard Zhang Nan say this, he began to think about it. Generally speaking, he and Zhang Nan always think about their ideas together, but this time there was a disagreement, and Li Er didn't want to make a conclusion, so Li Er decided that it would be better to ask the ministers to discuss together tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Li Er waved his hand and asked Zhang Nan to retreat. Zhang Nan also bowed and did not stay in the palace for too long, so he went back to the mansion.
