The entire palace was in an uproar. It was unbelievable that the third prince would be so interested in a woman who was ten years older than him, not to mention that this woman had such a difficult past.
But no one dared to speak out. Although the canonization ceremony had not yet been held, it was obvious that this woman was the new queen of Tubo. The third prince treated her like this and was not afraid of them writing a letter. Besides, there was Dali Northwest Army stationed outside the city. Who could Do you have the guts to say anything

study.
"Brother Zhao, the third prince has taken the princess into the palace today," Mu Nanshan came in holding up the curtain and saw Zhao Jingting and Xie Lun discussing something head to head. The atmosphere was a bit intense, and Xie Lun blushed and his neck became thick. , like an irritated little rooster, Mu Nanshan came in with a smile, "Brother Zhao, Brother Xie, what are you doing? What are you discussing?"
"Don't mention it, I'm so angry, I just said a few words without thinking," Xie Lun angrily sat back on the soft couch, drank a large cup of tea, and said to Mu Nanshan, "Nanshan , you sit down and listen to your opinions.”
Mu Nanshan sat over and refilled Xie Lun's cup of tea while curiously asking: "What's going on?"
"Nanshan, tell me how to deal with the Tubo army." Zhao Jingting also took a sip of tea and looked at Mu Nanshan, "Tell me what you think."
Mu Nanshan was startled: "Is it the surviving Tibetan army in southern Xinjiang?"
"Well," Zhao Jingting nodded and said, "General Zhennan wrote a letter stating that he could rescue 20,000 Tibetan troops from the Siamese and follow our wishes. Xie Lun meant not to allow the Tibetan army to return to Tibet. I think This is inappropriate, and I want to hear what you mean now.”
"What's wrong? Do you still want to let the tiger go back to the mountain?" Xie Lun said angrily, while giving Zhao Jingting a look, "The Tubo people finally reunited with us in Dali. This is the most obedient time. Why are we so obedient? Okay? It’s just that they don’t have an army in the country. Do we still want to send the army back to them?”
"Xie Lun, I know what you mean. In the past, we Dali suffered a lot from Siam and Tubo. At this time, we naturally want to control Tubo to the maximum extent. However, Tubo is not a vassal state of Dali. How we treat Tubo must be cautious. Be careful," Zhao Jingting said in a deep voice, took a sip of tea, and continued, "What's more, the general never meant to annex Tubo. It would be good for Dali to have Tubo as a buffer and barrier between Dali and Siam. There are plenty of them.”
"What Brother Zhao said makes sense," Mu Nanshan understood. He just looked at Xie Lun glaring at him fiercely and said with a busy smile, "Of course what Brother Xie said makes sense."
"I knew you were a loser," Xie Lun glanced at Mu Nanshan, paused, and then looked at Zhao Jingting, "What does the third prince mean?"
"I haven't discussed this matter with the third prince yet, but in order to show his sincerity and friendship towards Dali, the third prince once hinted that the remaining Tibetan army is willing to obey Dali's disposal, and that he is also willing to establish a general mansion in Qinghai in the future. When the Tubo royal family has needs, General Qinghai can order a large army to enter Tubo," Zhao Jingting said, holding the tea lid while looking at Xie Lun, "Look at how sincere they are, if you can't even fight with a mere 20,000 troops. If you are still scheming, doesn’t it seem that we, Dali, are too stingy?”
