Afterwards, Li Yuanying settled down a lot, and has been busy working on the sunflower garden stockade. From time to time, he would go over to check on the progress, express condolences to the people who came from Gaochang, and see how they picked places to plant grapes in the sunflower garden.
During this period, Tang Sui was successfully admitted to the Guozijian, but unfortunately, because Li Yuanying ran to the back door, Kong Yingda specially ordered someone to "take care" of Tang Sui. Therefore, every time Li Yuanying went to play with Tang Sui, he would see Tang Sui studying hard and writing hard.
Li Yuanying clicked his tongue secretly: Is the Imperial College working so hard
It was also the first time for Tang Sui to enter the Imperial College. Of course, he didn't know what the normal supervisor's schoolwork was like. He completed the tasks assigned by the masters without saying a word, and never complained of hardship or tiredness. After a period of time, Tang Sui won the approval of many people with his intelligence and diligence, and he successfully entered the Imperial College!
At the end of this year, a new companion came to the palace. It was Princess Wencheng who was promised by His Majesty Li Er to Songtsan Gampo, the king of Tubo.
This marriage was agreed by His Majesty Li Er earlier.
His Majesty Li Er has a habit. If he wins a battle with someone, and the other party comes to plead guilty, he will give the other party a daughter of the clan to show the mighty virtue of the Tang Dynasty. Last year His Majesty Li Er married Princess Honghua to Tuyuhun, and this year when someone from Tubo came, His Majesty Li Er also made a promise to the candidate from the clan who had already been selected as Princess Wencheng.
Princess Wencheng is only fifteen years old this year. She looks pretty and behaves generously, very much like a Princess of the Tian Family.
Compared with the dying Tuyuhun, Tubo occupies a larger area and has more troops. It is the country most in need of friendship in the west. His Majesty Li Er had personally met Princess Wencheng, and felt that the choice was very good, so he let Princess Wencheng live with Gao Yang and the others in the palace. attention to this matter.
Li Yuanying heard Gao Yang say that Wencheng was going to marry Tubo, so he took Li Zhi to study for a while where Tubo was, and how far Songtsan Gampo lived from Chang'an.
After the research was over, Li Yuanying felt that it was too far away.
After Li Yuanying sighed, he urged Gao Yang to ask Wencheng to come out to play, how boring it is to be bored in the room all day!
Wen Ben wasn't a stuffy gourd, so Gao Yang slipped out to play with Li Yuanying and the others as soon as he greeted him. Hearing that Wencheng was going to Tubo to get married in the first lunar month, Li Yuanying was still a little ready to move: "I heard from Master Sun that Tubo is very different from Chang'an. To the west there are continuous snow-capped mountains, which are tall and beautiful, but it is not easy to go. Ordinary people can't stand it in the past. I'm not an ordinary person, maybe I can go and see it!"
Wen Cheng grew up in Chang'an, and he was very reluctant to part with Chang'an. Hearing Li Yuanying's words, he was curious about what the snow-capped mountains that had not melted for years looked like.
Seeing that Wen Cheng's wedding was approaching, Li Yuanying mobilized his friends again, and assigned them tasks to learn what it was like in Tubo.
The task distribution is as follows: Gao Yang and the others are in charge of playing with Wen Cheng; Li Yuanying and Li Zhi go to meet Lu Dongzan and his party; Dai Ting is responsible for collecting information from all parties; The Tubo known to readers.
Dai Ting and Mei Niang acted quickly, and Li Yuanying and Li Zhi also found an excuse to visit Lu Dongzan.
Knowing that it was the emperor's son who came to look for him, Lu Dongzan naturally greeted him happily. Lu Dongzan was tall and tall, and his appearance was more refined than Li Yuanying imagined, but the Tubo people had a habit of painting some red paint on their faces, which made their complexion red, forcibly ruining a handsome and good-looking face.
Li Yuanying was an acquaintance, and since he couldn't drink alcohol, he asked Dai Ting to bring tea, and chatted with Lu Dongzan while making tea.
This Lu Dongzan came from a low background, but he was very capable. With his extraordinary ingenuity, he became the Prime Minister of Tubo. He went to the Tang Dynasty several times, and gradually learned the language of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the communication with Li Yuanying was even smoother than those of the Gaochang people.
Seeing the beautiful Dai Ting sitting quietly making tea, with a kind of elegance and grace that Tubo people can't imitate in his gestures, Lu Dongzan couldn't help asking: "What is this? It smells really good."
Li Yuanying and Lu Dongzan talked about their Qianjin tea, boasting that it sold 800 Guan a catty last year, it is very expensive, and there is no market for the price, many people can't buy it if they want to.
Li Yuanying talked so and so, and the tea was ready, and the fragrance of the tea filled the room, and Lu Dongzan's spirit was lifted by the smell. Tea is definitely a good thing for grassland people. They eat meat all year round, which is not easy to digest. If they can eat a bowl of tea every day, it will definitely be much more refreshing.
Lu Dongzan ate a bowl and praised: "It's really good, no wonder it's so expensive!"
Li Yuanying said: "Not all of them are so expensive, the first-class ones are so expensive, the second- and third-class ones are much cheaper, and the last-class ones can be afforded by ordinary people!" Li Yuanying can boast to anyone, "Wait In the future, there will be more tea in the Tang Dynasty, and everyone in the world will surely be able to drink tea."
Lu Dongzan liked this grand statement, and felt that the young prince was very appetizing to him, so he said immediately: "Then you have to sell me some, I'll take it back and let our king have a taste."
Li Yuanying readily agreed, saying that it happened that a batch of tea was delivered to Chang'an this winter. This is an unfortunate timing. If you come earlier next time, you may be able to catch up with the best spring tea. When spring comes and everything recovers, it is the season for the best growth of tea. At that time, the tea is like a treasure bred by heaven and earth. Drink it to leave a fragrance on your lips and teeth!
Lu Dongzan was eager to hear it, and said that he could stay two people until the spring tea was delivered before leaving. Looking at Dai Ting who was making tea so elegantly, Lu Dongzan also said: "If you want good tea, you need someone who can cook it. I wonder if you can ask someone to teach the people I keep?"
Seeing that Lu Dongzan's eyes fell on Dai Ting, Li Yuanying said, "That's definitely fine, but Dai Ting is not acceptable." He introduced Dai Ting to Lu Dongzan again, and told Lu Dongzan about Dai Ting again. During the trip to Gaochang, I greatly praised Dai Ting's power.
Lu Dongzan originally thought that this was just a small servant next to Li Yuanying, at most it was just more eye-catching, but he didn't expect Dai Ting to have such a great ability. What shocked Lu Dongzan even more was that such a person was willing to stay by Li Yuanying's side to cook tea and serve food!
For such a big matter, if you send someone out to inquire about it, you can know the truth. Li Yuanying should not tell such a lie!
Are all Tang people so outstanding
Lu Dongzan was in doubt.
Dai Ting's complexion did not change, and he still respectfully poured freshly brewed tea for everyone present.
Next, Li Yuanying completely controlled the Huatou, and asked Li Zhi about the customs and customs of Tubo one by one. At the end, Li Yuanying secretly asked Lu Dongzan: "Does your king look like you?"
How dare Lu Dongzan say it looks like him? Of course it doesn't look like it.
Li Yuanying asked again, is your king fatter or thinner than you? Taller or shorter than you? Do you like to blush
Lu Dongzan gave Li Yuanying a general description of Songtsan Gampo's appearance with gestures and gestures, and also took Li Yuanying to see the portrait he brought to court.
Li Yuanying took a look and felt that the artist's level was not very good, so he continued to question and fine-tune the original painting, and finally repainted a portrait of Songtsan Gampo for Lu Dongzan on the spot.
Lu Dongzan was shocked when he saw Li Yuanying's achievements, and he didn't dare to underestimate Li Yuanying, the most beloved younger brother of the emperor.
Others said that this person was extremely stubborn, and he was the most famous playboy in the royal family. If all the playboys in Datang were like Li Yuanying, then Tubo should have surrendered to Datang early to protect themselves!
No matter how shocked Lu Dongzan was, Li Yuanying succeeded in getting the portrait of Songtsan Gampo which was approved by Lu Dongzan, found out the height, weight and sole size of the other party, and also developed a tea market by the way, he was very happy.
On the way back, Li Yuanying also taught Li Zhi: "Why did you talk so little just now? You should talk more. Wencheng is now a princess, and she is your sister. You have to do something for her!"
Li Zhi said: "I let you talk, what else can I say?" He had never seen Li Yuanying so chatty, who would ask other people what kind of clothes and shoes the king wears
Li Zhi complained to Li Yuanying a lot, thinking that Li Yuanying's actions were too abrupt.
Li Yuanying looked serious: "What's so abrupt? It's not easy for Wen Cheng to ask these words. We elders are much more worried."
Li Zhi said: "You just said she is my elder sister." Can my younger brother still be an elder
Li Yuanying didn't bother with this question, and said earnestly and kindly: "I asked this to let the accompanying embroiderer start preparing clothes and boots for Songtsen Gampo, all according to Wen Cheng's liking. Think about it, she didn't There is no way to pick someone, so I can only find a way to transform it, so that the other party will wear it according to their liking, and it will look more pleasing to the eye, right?"
Li Zhi didn't expect that Li Yuanying went to see Lu Dongzan for this reason, so he didn't know what to say after hearing it.
Before getting other materials, Li Yuanying took the portrait and various sizes to find Wencheng, and told Wencheng his thoughts.
When Wen Cheng thought of staying away from his homeland during this period of time, he felt very reluctant, and he couldn't laugh or cry when Li Yuanying made such a fuss.
Gao Yang and Cheng Yang all came over to see Wen Cheng's future husband-in-law.
An ordinary person would have been blushed long ago, but Wen Cheng was different. She generously took the portrait, stared at the heroic Tubo king on the painting, and boasted to Li Yuanying: "Look, he is a hero."
Li Yuanying said: "I think it's good too." He told Wen Cheng about Lu Dongzan's blushing, "I think you'll ask him to wash his face after you go, it's more pleasing to the eye."
Wen Cheng nodded.
A few days later, Dai Ting put together a volume of Tubo customs and customs collected by himself and the library and sent them to Li Yuanying, so that Wencheng could learn about the situation in Tubo in advance.
In a blink of an eye, the first month of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan came.
On the Lantern Festival, Li Yuanying took a group of friends to the Lantern Festival, and Wen Cheng was among them.
Looking at the brightly lit Chang'an City, Wen Cheng's heart felt sour, and he burst into tears unknowingly. After the Lantern Festival, she will be married under the escort of her father, and she will be far away from Chang'an, and she will never have the chance to see the Lantern Festival in Chang'an again.
Seeing Wen Cheng crying while looking at the lantern, Li Yuanying remained silent.
After Wencheng finished crying, Li Yuanying said, "If you don't want to go, I'll help you find a way."
Wen Cheng wiped away his tears, opened his hands and gave Uncle Yao Li Yuanying a hug, and said, "I want to go, and I want to help Uncle Yao to see if the contiguous snow-capped mountains are really permanent."
Li Yuanying was ignorant in his heart, and he didn't know what it was like. He stretched out his hand to gently hug Wencheng back, raised his head and said to Wencheng seriously: "If someone in Tubo bullies you, just write to me. No matter how far Tubo is, I will take someone there to beat them up for you!"
Wen Cheng smiled at Li Yuanying, his bright eyes were full of smiles, brighter than the lights.
"it is good."
She also seriously agreed.
The author has something to say:
Little prince: Song, is Songtsen Gampo
Little Prince: Nephew and son-in-law, do you want some tea? Homemade, quality assurance!
The weakening of the relationship line mentioned in the last chapter does not mean that there is no CP, don’t get me wrong, those who have CP mean that they will get married and have children when they grow up. Generally speaking, in terms of real historical background, I don't accept familiar historical figures really going to stir up foundations, and the road to stirring up foundations is difficult and dangerous! There is no motivation to take such a difficult road! _(:3∠)_
