In the magnificent hall, Yang Chen's expression was indifferent and uninterested.
Although his rank wasn't high, as a supervisory censor, he naturally had the qualifications to go to court.
The noise of the surrounding officials did not interrupt his thoughts.
This was a parallel world of the Great Tang, and everything was different from what he remembered.
A few years ago, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, suddenly died. Several princes immediately rebelled and fought for the throne. The Great Tang was once again in turmoil, and the people were in dire straits.
After the chaos lasted for several years, the Empress Wu Ling appeared and led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to rebel in Jingzhou. They suppressed the chaos and ascended the throne! The Founding of the Nation was Zhou!
Yang Chen sighed in his heart. This was completely different from the history in his memory. The course of history was disrupted, which meant that his foresight was completely useless.
Although he was proud of his broad horizons, as a small official in the court, the waves and political struggles in the court were not something he could deal with.
Just as he was deep in thought, the surrounding noise suddenly quieted down.
Yang Chen was stunned. Then, he heard a voice sing.
"His Majesty has arrived…"
He looked up and saw a woman in a bright yellow dragon robe slowly walking to the dragon throne and sitting down under the escort of a group of people.
The surrounding officials immediately bowed their heads.
"Greetings, Your Majesty…"
Yang Chen followed suit and bowed along with the crowd.
He was standing at the back, so he couldn't even see the empress's face clearly.
A pleasant voice sounded.
"Everyone, please excuse the formalities."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the ministers bowed, Yang Chen looked at the empress from afar.
Our empress is still in her twenties, which is when a woman is at her most charming. Her methods are decisive and cold. She relied on the army in her hands to forcefully seize the country and beat the Li Imperial Family into fleeing like rats. It was amazing.
Of course, even though this was partly due to the split among the princes of the Li family, the empress's foresight and great talent were unquestionable.
Wu Ling seemed to have sensed something and swept his gaze over, causing Yang Chen to be shocked and quickly lower his head.
"Your Majesty, the Tibetan emissaries have brought a large number of treasures to congratulate Your Majesty on your ascension to the throne…" The Minister of Rites, Xu Zhaozong, said respectfully.
Wu Ling raised her eyebrows." Tibetan envoy? When I ascended the throne, I didn't see them. What are they doing here now?”
She had already ascended the throne for some time, and the Tibetan emissary was probably not here to congratulate her sincerely.
The relationship between Tubo and the Central Plains had always been rather delicate.
Xu Zhaozong muttered," The Tibetan emissaries are waiting outside the palace. Why don't Your Majesty summon them into the palace? Then, you'll naturally know what the Tibetan people's purpose is."”
Wu Ling nodded slightly." Let the Tibetan envoy come for an audience."
"Yes…" Xu Zhaozong cupped his hands.
After a while.
An official from the Ministry of Rites led a group of Tibetan envoys dressed differently from the Han people in.
Yang Chen couldn't help but take a few more glances. These Tubo people's hair was tied into several braids. They wore hats on their heads and shawls. They looked extremely strange.
These Tibetan envoys bowed to Wu Ling." Greetings, His Majesty the Emperor of Great Zhou…"
"No need for formalities," Wu Ling said indifferently.
The leader of the Tibetan envoys said in a deep voice,"Esteemed Emperor of Great Zhou, envoy Gaer Dongzan has been ordered by Zampu Mangsong Mangzan to bring treasures to congratulate the Emperor of Great Zhou on his ascension to the throne."
"I appreciate Mang Song's praise.”Wu Ling's phoenix eyes flashed.
Although she had calmed the situation in the Central Plains with lightning speed, there were still many internal conflicts in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Outside, there were still enemies like the Tubo Turks who were eyeing them covetously.
The Tibetan emissaries were not here just to congratulate him.
As expected.
The emissary Gardonzan quickly said,"Great Zhou Emperor, I, Tibetan Zanpu Mangsong Mangzan, have a presumptuous request. I hope Your Majesty will grant it."
The hall instantly fell silent, and everyone's gaze fell on Gardonzan.
Wu Ling narrowed her eyes." What's the matter, Zampu?"”
"Zanpu hopes that the Great Zhou can marry our Tubo and exchange what they need. The two countries will form an alliance and form a good relationship between Qin and Jin."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall immediately became strange.
When Taizong and the Tubo were married, the relationship between the Great Tang and the Tubo gradually stabilized.
He did not expect that now that Wu Ling had established the Great Zhou, the Tubo would want to marry the Great Zhou?
And the marriage partner was…?
The ministers began to speculate.
Their emperor was still young and had yet to start a family. Could it be that the Tubo Zanpu had designs on Wu Ling?
Wu Ling was also stunned. She was silent for a moment.”
Gardonzan smiled." That's right. Zanpu hopes to marry the Great Zhou's Princess Fenyang, the Emperor's younger sister. This is a testament to the friendship between the two countries and can continue the friendship between the two countries.”
Princess Fenyang?
Everyone was shocked and immediately understood.
Yang Chen also nodded his head secretly. Empress Wu Ling was still young and was the emperor of a generation. Although she was currently single, it was impossible for Tubo Zanpu to marry the empress.
However, Zanpu of Tubo had proposed a marriage alliance with the empress's sister. This way, it would be difficult to reject.
After all, Wu Ling was the Emperor of Great Zhou, so he had to consider things from the perspective of Great Zhou.
As expected.
Wu Ling fell into deep thought.
After Li Shi Min's death, the Li family's Prince had been embroiled in a series of wars, causing chaos in the Central Plains.
Although Wu Ling had ended the turmoil, the impact of the turmoil was not over yet.
Moreover, the Great Zhou was surrounded by wolves. If they were to marry, it might be able to alleviate some of the pressure on the Great Zhou.
The hall fell silent.
Yang Chen stroked his chin. According to his understanding, the empress seemed to have a younger sister and an older sister. This Princess Fenyang was Wu Sanniang.
Just as he was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a ding.
"Ding! Check the surrounding environment…"
" The Strongest Defiant Official System is loading…"
Yang Chen was speechless.
