"Your Majesty, are you really willing to make Chang Le the Saintess of the Tang Empire?”
Empress Zhangsun was a little surprised. At first, she thought that Li Shimin might not agree.
After all, this idea was too novel and illogical.
Moreover, there was a group of Confucian scholars in the court who abided by etiquette and law. They would probably object.
"Of course I won't object! Changle has also grown up. If she doesn't get married, we should give her a title and let her be the Saintess of our Great Tang!”
Li Shimin listened to Empress Zhangsun's suggestion,
He decided to announce to the civil and military officials at the morning court tomorrow,
Princess Changle was conferred the title of Saintess of the Tang Empire!
This would not only solve the problem of Princess Changle's status, but also reject the request of the Tubo. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
"Give me another bowl of rice. I'm in a good mood today. Not only did I see the Thunderbolt Bullet, but I also found a way out for Changle.”
Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun ate happily.
Time passed slowly. Late at night…
Honglu Temple
This was the agency responsible for receiving foreign envoys.
The Tibetan envoy, Gar Dongzan, was staying in one of the guest rooms, having a secret discussion with his subordinates.
"No one is eavesdropping outside. Tell me, what was the explosion in Chang 'an this morning?”Gardonzan asked.
A scout with both Tibetan and Han blood said,"
" Lord Gaar, we've already sent people to investigate. The explosion came from inside the Chang 'an Fortress military camp. Although it's an important military area, our people have also infiltrated it."”
"Military camp! Could it be that the Tang army had created a terrifying new weapon?”Gardonzan asked.
He had a deep understanding of the Great Tang, which was why Zampsonzan Gambo had sent him as a diplomatic envoy.
"Lord Gaar, that's right! The Tang army had indeed created a new weapon called Thunderbolt Bullet.”The scout said,"
"I don't know what this weapon is made of, but it's extremely powerful. As long as it's thrown out, it will cause a large-scale explosion.”
Gardonzan said worriedly,"
"This is not good news. Our army is preparing to invade the Four Garrisons of Anxi, and these thunderbolts will cause many casualties.”
"Oh right, Lord Gaar, we also found out that this Thunderbolt Bullet seems to have been made by that little imperial grandson, Li Yu.”the scout said.
"It really is him!" Gardonzan's eyes were like wolves as he said,"
"This Li Yu was born with a strange phenomenon. Not only did he alleviate the drought in the Guanzhong area of the Great Tang, but it was also said that he alleviated the snow disaster in the Guanzhong area.
Moreover, Tuyuhun's demise was also related to him.
If the snow had not suddenly stopped, the Great Tang would never have been able to send three armies to occupy the capital of Tuyuhun.”
Three years ago, when Li Yu was born, Tuyuhun, a foreign tribe from the Western Regions, invaded Liangzhou.
It was Li Yu's birth that stopped the snow.
He had alleviated the drought in Guanzhong, allowed the Great Tang to accumulate food, destroyed Tuyuhun in one fell swoop, and killed the Tuyuhun Khan Murong Fuyun.
"The target of our tribute to the Great Tang this time is this Li Yu!”
Gardonzan's eyes were like fire, and his voice was a little excited."
"It's said that he was born to speak, to know, and to know everything in the world. He's a heaven-bestowed qilin son. If our Tubo can obtain him, we can soar in the future and seize the entire world.”
This was why they wanted to marry the Great Tang and specifically requested to marry Princess Chang Le.
If he got Princess Chang Le, he would get Li Yu.
The mother and son were inseparable.
"But…Lord Gaar." The scout questioned,
"In the court today, the Tang Emperor, Li Shimin, doesn't seem to have any intention of marrying the Changle Princess to our Tubo. What if he falls out with us and even finds an excuse to disagree?”
Gardonzan smiled confidently and said,"
"Don't worry, I have my own plans. This time, I'm fully prepared. If Li Shiming doesn't give it to us, we'll take it from him!”
The Tibetan scout was shocked. He didn't expect Gardong Zan to be so bold!
In Chang 'an, the capital of the Great Tang, snatching the grandson of the Great Tang was simply impossible!
"Lord Gaar, are you really confident?”"If we fail and are captured by the Tang army, we will really die for our country here," the scout reminded.”
"Don't worry, we don't have to do it ourselves. Someone will help us.”Gardonzan smiled and whispered,"
" Do you know that other than us, there is another foreign force lurking in Chang 'an? If we can use them..."
"Lord Gaar is really smart! This subordinate admires you!" The scout praised,"He is indeed worthy of being the most valued person of King Zanpu. Please promote him in the future."”
" Alright, alright. Continue to lurk in Chang 'an Fortress and gather information.”"You'll get a lot of benefits in the future," said Gardonzan.”
The spy left in a hurry under the cover of the night.
……
The next morning, at court,
After the civil and military officials discussed,
Li Shi Min was about to tell the ministers about the shocking event.
However, he was not in a hurry to say it directly. Instead, he took a detour.
"Dear ministers, Princess Chang Le has already become an adult.
In these three years, the Great Tang could be said to have been blessed with good fortune and no disasters.
Changle and Li Yu also played a part in this grand era. Do you all agree?”
The officials praised him.
"Your Majesty, Princess Changle and His Royal Highness are indeed meritorious officials of the Great Tang. They deserve to be rewarded!”Zhangsun Wuji was the first to figure out Li Shiming's thoughts and stood out to agree.
Wei Zheng also stood up and said,"I agree!" Your Highness, the Imperial Sun, has contributed greatly to the creation of the new laws of the Great Tang. He deserves to be rewarded!”
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
Crown Prince Li Chengqian was a little stunned.
What…what was going on?
Didn't he discuss with his mother to find a marriage agreement for Princess Chang Le and let her leave the palace?
Li Chengqian was still in the dark.
"Alright, since no one has any objections, then I will reward Princess Chang Le.”Li Shiming smiled and said,
"I hereby announce that Princess Changle is the Saintess of the Great Tang! The emperor's grandson, Li, is known as the Holy Son of the Country!"
When the officials heard this reward, they were all stunned.
Nation Protecting Saintess? Nation Protecting Holy Son?
What kind of official position was this!
