Empress Zhangsun left the palace alone today.
Li Shimin and his ministers were having a meeting. It was said that a group of Japanese was about to arrive at the Great Tang from the sea.
He came to the Great Tang to learn the Han culture.
Empress Zhangsun was waiting for Xiao Fan in the Xiao residence.
Ever since perfume became a trend in the harem, Empress Zhangsun had been preparing to order this perfume in large quantities.
In the future, he would not need to use the treasury's money to reward the concubines. He could directly reward the perfume and save a lot of expenses.
"This child has been out for half a day. Why hasn't he returned yet?”
Empress Zhangsun was a little curious.
The door to the backyard was pushed open.
Empress Zhangsun chuckled." Xiao County Nan has returned…Uh, I'm sorry. I got the wrong person."”
Xiao Fan was also stunned.
He never thought that his father's old flame would come uninvited.
Xiao Fan covered his face and wanted to leave.
"Wait a moment."
Empress Zhangsun sensed that something was wrong. She looked at the crossdresser Xiao and asked suspiciously,"Xiao Fan?"
"Cough cough!"
Empress Zhangsun's gaze became more and more strange.
No wonder this kid liked to make things for women…Eh!
Empress Zhangsun's worldview was shattered.
"Wait, don't go!"”
After saying that, Xiao Fan quickly returned to his room to change his clothes and appeared in front of Empress Zhangsun again.
"Phew!"
Xiao Fan looked at Empress Zhangsun awkwardly and hurriedly explained,"You might have misunderstood. Just now, I…Well…Anyway, it's not what you think!”
Empress Zhangsun's eyes had a hint of understanding.
It was as if he had seen through everything.
"Don't worry, this is a secret between you and YiNiang. YiNiang won't speak nonsense.”
What secret? What nonsense are you talking about!
Xiao Fan said anxiously,"I'm telling you, it's really not what you think."”
Empress Zhangsun nodded." I understand, I understand. Actually, I noticed that you were under too much pressure last time. Sometimes, it's not impossible to relax…Hmm, do you still need clothes? The style of my clothes is not bad.”
F * ck!
Xiao Fan was speechless.
Li Xinlan! Not 500 strings! This wasn't over!
"Is there something you need from me?" Xiao Fan quickly changed the topic.
"Oh, oh." "I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it," Empress Zhangsun said."I'm here to buy some perfume. The more, the better.”
Xiao Fan said,"The order is already full. If you want to buy it, you can only delay it. Is that okay?"”
"It's fine, as long as there's one," Empress Zhangsun said nonchalantly.”
Xiao Fan nodded.
Empress Zhangsun smiled." You don't have to say it. You have to make more of this thing as soon as possible."”
"Why?" Xiao Fan was puzzled.
"I heard that Chang 'an is about to send a group of Wei Nation envoys to the Tang Dynasty. You can sell the perfume to them when the time comes."”
Send Tang envoys?
Xiao Fan sighed and said,"It seems that our culture will be learned again."”
This was a race that had developed very late, but they had started off as thieves. All of their economic culture had been inherited from the Great Tang.
Who would have thought that such a small place would cause such a huge disaster for China in the future?
Empress Zhangsun smiled." This means that our Great Tang is now at the peak of the world's culture. All the small barbarian countries are competing to come to the Great Tang to learn. This is a good thing. Why are you sighing?”
Xiao Fan grinned and sneered,"Do you think it's a good thing?"”
"Isn't that so?" Empress Zhangsun was puzzled.”
Xiao Fan shook his head, his gaze somewhat deep.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Fan asked Empress Zhangsun,"What do you think of Tubo's current national strength?”
Empress Zhangsun nodded and said," After the rebellion was quelled, the Tubo Zanpu, Songzan Gambo, unified the Tubo. In order to meet the needs of the economy and politics, the Tubo Zanpu adopted the calendar and stipulated a unified system of weights and measures. He created the Tubo language based on the characters of Yutian and Tianzhu, and also formulated cruel laws..."
Xiao Fan asked,"Do you feel that this history is very familiar?"”
Empress Zhangsun blurted out,"They are imitating the pre-Qin period.”
Xiao Fan nodded and said,"That's right. Look, Tubo is imitating the politics and national conditions of the pre-Qin Dynasty. In just a few years, the national strength has risen by a level."”
"In just a few years, he has become a threat to the Great Tang.”
"What if we give the Wei Nation some time to develop?”
Hearing this, Empress Zhangsun suddenly stopped and looked at Xiao Fan thoughtfully.
Xiao Fan sighed and said,"So, after these Tang envoys from the Wei Nation entered our dynasty, they learned all of our Han culture and used our Han culture and military technology to backfire on our Han family. Wouldn't that be a loss?"”
"Do you still think that sending Tang envoys to Tang is a glorious thing?”
Empress Zhangsun had never thought of this.
He had the same thoughts as Li Shimin. Sending an envoy to the Tang Empire meant that the Tang Empire was at its peak, and foreign countries were scrambling to imitate it. Without a doubt, this unprecedented grand occasion of the Tang Empire coming to court would be recorded in history.
But who would have thought that behind this glory, there would be so many unpredictable risks for the Han people?
The Tibetans were a living example!
During the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen and Emperor Yang did not pay much attention to Xicui. Instead, they fixed their eyes on Liaodong.
It was also because of this that the Tibetans had a chance to develop, and now, the Great Tang was struggling to deal with the Tibetans.
At this point, Empress Zhangsun looked deeply at Xiao Fan, her eyes carrying a complicated light.
She nodded without batting an eyelid.”
"But the Great Tang can't keep people a thousand li away, and the technologies of the bent plow, porcelain, and ironware can't be hidden even if they want to. It seems to be an unsolvable situation.”
These crafts and smelting industries were all exposed on paper, and everyone knew about them.
As long as the emissary of the Tang Dynasty was willing to learn, this could not stop him.
Xiao Fan shook his head and said,"It's better to let them go than to block them. The reason is very simple. Before they set their sights on other technologies, we just need to..."
"Uh, why am I telling you this?”
Empress Zhangsun had an expectant look on her face, and her heart was beating wildly, but Xiao Fan suddenly stopped.
She was stunned." Tell me!"
Xiao Fan shook his head.”
Empress Zhangsun was speechless.
……
When he returned to Taiji Palace.
Empress Zhangsun still had lingering fears.
Xiao Fan's words lingered in her mind like a thorn that she could not forget for a long time.
He had thought that sending Tang envoys to Tang would be a glorious thing, but who knew what kind of disaster it would bring to the Great Tang if he did not manage this glory well?
No!
Empress Zhangsun didn't go to the inner palace either. She went straight to Chuigong Hall.
She knew that Li Shimin was discussing with Fang Xuanling and the others about receiving the Tang envoy.
She also knew that the harem could not interfere with politics.
But today, she had no choice but to risk being impeached. She had to tell Li Shiming about the impact of this matter as soon as possible!
