"Your son is willing to share Imperial Father's burden and take on the important task of marrying Great Qin into the Great Tang!”
When Ying Zheng asked, Ying Che immediately agreed.
Ying Zheng's arrangement of a marriage alliance between him and the Great Tang was actually a good thing that benefited many parties, and it was also very beneficial to Ying Che.
If he did not agree to his father Ying Zheng's request, Ying Zheng might not force Ying Che with his prideful personality, but he would definitely be disappointed in Ying Che from then on, which would be detrimental to Ying Che's future plans.
"Che 'er, you agree?"
Ying Che's choice to agree was not out of Ying Zheng's expectation, but he did not expect Ying Che to agree so quickly.
"Che 'er, if you have any grievances in your heart, you can tell me.”
"The alliance between Qin and Tang requires you to sacrifice your future happiness!”
To a certain extent, choosing Ying Che and the princess of the Tang Empire as the candidates for the marriage alliance between the Qin and Tang Empire made Ying Che and the princess of the Tang Empire the sacrificial victims of the political situation.
Ying Che instantly thought of the words of the Marquis Champion Huo Qubing and said directly,
"If the Xiongnu are not destroyed, what will we do?"
"A marriage alliance will only sacrifice my own future happiness, but it won't be able to destroy the Xiongnu. The happiness of millions of people at the border of Great Qin will be destroyed.”
"If you can sacrifice my happiness in exchange for the stability of the Great Qin border for generations and the people living in peace and contentment, Che 'er is willing!”
"If the Xiongnu are not destroyed, what will we do?"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng looked at Ying Che, who was standing tall and straight, and a trace of gratification flashed across his eyes.
"Very good, Che 'er!"
"Father will not treat you unfairly. I heard that the most beloved daughter of Tang Emperor Li Shimin, Li Lizhi, is a natural beauty who can topple a country. She is a peerless beauty and is just a perfect match for you.”
" I will write a letter of credentials and send it to the Tang Dynasty to propose marriage to Emperor Li Shimin. If he agrees to the alliance between Qin and Tang, you will follow the diplomatic mission to Chang 'an in half a month.”
"Also, after we head to the Great Tang Empire, try to exchange for the new secret techniques developed by the Great Tang Empire, such as stirrups and saddles. These secret techniques will be of great use to the Great Qin Cavalry.”
Knowing that Ying Che was willing to sacrifice himself for the marriage, Ying Zheng naturally would not let his son suffer.
Ying Zheng was very confident that the Great Tang Empire would choose to ally with the Great Qin Empire and agree to marry Princess Li Lizhi of Changle.
This was because the Tang Empire's Turkic border was more dangerous than the Great Qin Empire's Xiongnu border.
The Xiongnu could only invade the borders of the Great Qin Empire, while the Turks had once invaded Chang 'an, the capital of the Great Tang Empire, forcing the Tang Emperor Li Shimin to sign an alliance with the Turks at the Wei River.
.........
Several days later.
The letter from the Great Qin State was sent to Chang 'an City by a fast horse.
As soon as the letter of credence from the Great Qin Empire arrived in Chang 'an, it caused a huge commotion in the Tang Imperial Court.
Imperial Palace, Taiji Palace.
In the magnificent palace, the civil and military officials waited quietly on both sides, occasionally looking at Tang Emperor Li Shimin who was sitting on the dragon throne and laughing.
"Hahahahaha-"
Looking at Great Qin's letter of credence, Li Shiming's smile gradually turned into a wild smile.
The officials of the Great Tang looked at each other in confusion. They couldn't understand why Li Shimin was smiling so happily.
"Your Majesty, why are you so happy?”
Prime Minister Zhangsun Wuji stepped forward and asked,""But because Jiannan Road has quelled the flood!”
"No, it's good news that the flood has been quelled, but it's far from worth my joy. This news is far more worth my joy than the flood in Jiannan Road.”
Li Shi Min shook his head and replied.
"Is it related to the Turks? The Great Qin Empire has sent a letter of credence. Could it be that the Great Qin Empire wants to form an alliance with our Great Tang Empire?”Sikong Fang Xuanling asked.
"Xuan Ling is indeed good at scheming!"
Li Shimin nodded and said," That's right. The Qin Emperor, Ying Zheng, wants to form an alliance with the Tang Empire to fight against the foreign invasion of the Xiongnu and Turks.”
All the officials of the Great Tang court were delighted.
In recent years, although the Great Tang had prospered and the four seas were at peace, it had been repeatedly harassed by the Turks. A few years ago, the Turks had even forced it to sign an alliance at the Wei River.
Now that the Great Tang had repaired its weapons and readied its soldiers, even though the pressure from the Turks had lessened, the northwest was still plagued by the Turks.
If the Great Tang could form an alliance with Great Qin and fight against the foreign tribes, the Great Tang would have a chance to completely resolve the border problems of the Turks!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Zhangsun Wuji congratulated," Although the Great Qin Empire is not as strong as the Great Tang in terms of national strength and economy, they are slightly stronger than the Great Tang in terms of military strength. If the Great Qin Empire can form an alliance with the Great Tang to fight against the foreign border, it will be a blessing for the Great Tang!”
"Our Great Tang can also use this opportunity to wipe out the Turks and wash away the shame of the alliance at the Wei River!”
"It's just a verbal alliance, but the Great Qin and Great Tang will find it difficult to trust each other. Your Majesty, can the Qin Emperor's letter of credence contain the details?”
"For example, a mutually beneficial treaty." Fang Xuanling frowned.”
"Xuanling's strategy is unparalleled, and the Qin Emperor's credence does indeed have a treaty of mutual benefit between Great Qin and Great Tang.”
"One of the main reasons why our Great Tang is unable to resolve the Turkic border crisis is because we lack horses, especially good horses."”
"Great Qin produces horses, and Great Qin's Cavalry is known throughout the world, shocking the various countries.”
"Qin Emperor Ying Zheng promised that if Qin and Tang formed an alliance, Great Qin would allow Great Tang to trade B-grade warhorses, but Great Tang would have to trade the new secret techniques that we developed, the stirrups and saddles, as well as the secret techniques, armor, and knives!”
After thinking about Great Qin's conditions, the Great Tang official lightly nodded.
In order to resolve the border problems of the Turks, Great Tang had once asked Great Qin for horses, but Great Qin had rejected them. Now, Great Qin was willing to open up the trade for horses. Even though they were not B grade warhorses, it was clear that Great Qin was sincere.
The Great Tang's secret weapons and armors were of the highest quality among the various countries, so Great Qin did not suffer any losses.
"The terms of the alliance offered by the Great Qin Empire are indeed fair and beneficial to both our countries. But how can we ensure that the alliance will continue without being broken?”
"Although Great Qin and Great Tang are distant neighbors and there are no disputes over land, the Great Qin Empire is still in the Great Tang Empire.”
"However, with the appearance of the Golden Roll and the arrival of the Great War, if Great Qin and Great Tang clash in the future, Great Qin will cancel the warhorse trade and Great Qin will break the Great Tang's Secret Technique.”
Li Shi Min shook his head and smiled,
"Don't worry too much. The Qin Emperor, Ying Zheng, is far-sighted and has already thought of a mutual guarantee between Great Qin and Great Tang!”
"Could it be a marriage alliance?" Zhangsun Wuji guessed.
"It is indeed a marriage alliance. The marriage alliance between Great Qin and Great Tang is a guarantee of the alliance between the two countries!”
Zhangsun Wuji nodded his head. A marriage alliance was indeed the best way to ensure the alliance between the two countries. He continued to ask,
"Who is the candidate for the Great Qin's marriage alliance and the Great Tang's marriage alliance?”
