After May, Chang'an became busy again. In addition to the busyness of the industry and the industry, it also prepared for the Holy Driving East to Luoyang.

This time, the sage journey east was not a hasty meal driven by natural disasters and man-made disasters. The direct involvement with the people was not very big, and there were not many civil matters to follow. The escorts were basically officials in Beijing and nobles from all courts.

But at this time, even if the households travel far away, they must prepare carefully, let alone such a big relocation. Although Zhidun had already sent out of Beijing to prepare for the driving between the two capitals as early as early April, so many people with the driving staff were concerned about the powerful families in Beijing and they also had to rely on the people's strength.

Especially for some industries in the two Beijing markets that specialize in high-end luxury goods, the largest consumer groups will go to Luoyang. Of course, they cannot defend Chang'an and waste their time. They must follow closely.

Therefore, the most prosperous industry in Beijing was the chariot shop. The chariots and boats were mobilized one after another, transporting all kinds of personnel to the east. The prosperity of the industry also made a small fortune for a group of practitioners.

Under such a background, no matter how important other matters are, they will not occupy too much of the people's daily thoughts.

However, as time entered the middle and late month, one thing caused heated discussions among the public, that is, Tubo sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty and requested marriage.

In previous years, Tubo was strong and dominated the West. All kinds of information about it were sensitive topics that could arouse public and private heart nerves. However, in recent years, as the Tubo country's national power declined, the attention paid to the matters related to it has been getting smaller and smaller.

Even if the official still remains vigilant, for the people, the conquered opponents are not worthy of more attention. The news of Tubo can no longer arouse their curiosity and concern. However, the current price of cordyceps, medicines, fur, gold and silver in the foreign market is even more touching.

Although it is always a matter of exhaling arousal when Tubo sent envoys to the court to show weakness, it is always a matter of exhaling. At present, the envoys of the Boris are still waiting to be arranged in Xikang, and have not even arrived in Shuzhong. The matters related to marriage are not included in the matters that need to be prepared for the court and the southern province, but they are suddenly spread so widely among the public, which is really strange.

However, it always takes a process to report the discussions in the streets and alleys to the saint's desk. After all, there are new hot topics in the public opinion every day. The saint is involved in military affairs, so he cannot care about everything.

During this period, in addition to the military conduct of the Northern Expedition and the relocation of the imperial court, there were also urgent rectifications among the Tang Hu people, etc. Although the affairs were entrusted to various departments, Li Tong also had to keep a close eye on it, so he was very busy.

When the Tubo letter was handed over to the court, although he organized a Yanying Palace review, he mainly summarized the recent changes in the situation in Tubo, and planned to leave the subsequent related matters to Dongdu before handling and responding.

Originally, he thought that this matter was temporarily put on hold, but he didn't want to chat with his wife when he was leaving the palace and entering the yard to explain the matter of accompanying the Dongdu. He learned that the public had already talked a lot about it.

"People say that the court wants to write essays to enter the country again. I wonder which family Sanlang wants to pick up women from close relatives?"

Shangguan Wan'er was not just curious about this, and there was still hidden information in her.

Li Tong was stunned when he heard this. Before he could think deeper, he just smiled and said, "After seeing Mr. Li, his wife's friendship became wider and the news was very well-informed. The foreign envoys had not yet entered Sichuan, and there was no way to discuss the marriage. Where did they reach the point of choosing clan relatives?

Besides, it is not up to the other side to ask for help, how can my good children of the Tang family be easily allowed to be outside? The two sons of the foreign lord are both naive. They have not yet agreed to whom they will succeed to the throne, so they will come to visit our Tang Dynasty for protection, which is ridiculous!"

Shangguan Wan'er was stunned when she heard this answer, and then sighed: "The eldest princess came to visit a few days ago. When talking about this, she had a very meaning of recommendation. I also said that this matter has been decided and I just wait for the selection of employees."

"Why is the Zong family's choice of spouse and marriage not enough to satisfy her enthusiasm. She is so attentive that she wants to decide on a new matter for Fanjun?"

After hearing this, Li Tong smiled slightly and then said, "If she brings up the old things again, you might as well tell her not to take care of it anymore. The court will most likely not agree to this request. Regarding virtue and situation, the foreign countries are not worthy of being relatives and friends of my nephews, and the national conditions are in chaos, so a woman can calm down if she surrenders."

Since the Han Dynasty, marriage has been a very mature and effective foreign affairs method, and Li Tong has no repulsion about this.

In order to maintain its influence and control over the surrounding states, a prosperous and powerful regime must adopt various rich and flexible means, and marriage is also an option that does not need to be deliberately avoided. But the premise is that the time for use of this means should be appropriate and does not need to be deliberately done.

At present, the situation in the Tubo country is like a burning furnace. The British Lord has been dead for several months, and the official heir has not yet been confirmed.

One of his two sons was born by the concubine of the clan of Xiangxiong, who was born in the family of the queen mother, and was personally adopted by his queen mother, Molu, in Yunarakang, north of Lu City. The other was born by the concubine of the Chen family, who was born in Ye Ali, and was raised by Zanpu himself in the Hongshan Palace.

The two boys, the older one is already seven years old, and the younger one is five years old. They are still at the age of needing support for both food and clothing, and they are even more completely undecisive. No matter which one inherits the throne of Zamp, they will inevitably be held hostage by powerful figures behind their backs.

The young master country suspected that it was an unhealthy national situation. Although such a situation is not unfamiliar to Tubo and has rich experience in dealing with it. But the problem is that to deal with such a situation, the people in power in the middle of the country need to have the power and prestige of being a one-word example. It is obvious that Tubo does not have such conditions at present.

Among the national letters submitted by Tubo this time, Zanpu's two sons were listed among them. In other words, if the Tang Dynasty chose which one to marry a marriage, then that one would definitely be Zanpu, the next one from Tubo.

Such a situation can only be said that the situation in Tubo has reached an extreme stalemate, and the disputes between them have no longer been avoided to let outsiders know that it is up to the Tang Dynasty, the old enemy, to give a decision to suppress the dispute.

In this case, choosing a marriage kinship will inevitably lead to a stronger and closer compliance relationship with Zampo in Tubo, which is more solid and close to the previous marriage kinship. But the question is, what's the use of such a relationship? Didn't Zampo be defeated by someone in the previous generation?

Before he was in charge of the Tang Dynasty, Li Tong did not intend to talk to Tubo as a whole. For him, a split plateau was very beautiful.

Without directly sending troops to destroy the country and directly occupying the plateau, everything he did was to divide and disintegrate the unified situation reached on the plateau starting from Songtsen Gampo.

At present, the Zanpu royal family's momentum has weakened to the extreme, and even needs to rely on the Tang Dynasty to determine the succession. Of course, Li Tong will not give any form of solidarity and support.

Only when such disputes last longer can we further destroy the unification formed by Tubo and increase the centrifugal force of the forces of various states on the plateau.

Therefore, on the issue of Tubo, the strategy of marriage and Li Tong was completely contrary to each other. He didn't even need a docile Tubo royal family, and the tribes of the state were noisy and quarreled, and it would be good to have a fight to vent the excess energy.

As for Princess Taiping’s occasional whimsy and to participate in this matter, it even blew the pillow wind, Li Tong quickly realized his intentions.

His aunt and her two stepdaughters were not matched at the age of old age. Instead of forming a family in Beijing, she would rather send them to Tubo to serve as a princess. They would echo each other's internal and external momentum, and they would also have a certain right to speak if they had any national interactions with Tubo in the future.

Such a plan is nothing. After all, everything is not decided at the moment, and Princess Taiping's enthusiasm only provides a choice. It is not considered as having the intention to touch the holy, but it is not sensitive enough to understand the saint's strategy of the sutra.

Li Tong was not angry about this, but just told his wife to tell his aunt not to waste her time, so he quickly found a family to marry his stepdaughter. If he didn't marry, he would have to go through menopause.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded after hearing this. She was not enthusiastic about such things. She was a little impatient by Princess Taiping's harassment every few days, so she mentioned it casually. Now she learned that the husband had no intention of getting married at all, and she also lost Princess Taiping's idea from the root, which was an explanation.

However, Shangguan Wan'er later said: "Sanlang has no such a plan, it is better to make it public as soon as possible. Because there are many people who are talking about it. Although I don't often go to the market, I have also heard the public saying that marriage is a virtue. Otherwise, before the Turks were destroyed, they would raise another war and recruit brave men to come out to settle down in Tubo. Many people heard such rumors and were worried that they might be severely punished this year!"

"What happened?"

When Li Tong heard this, he finally felt a little vigilant. He realized that such public opinion was not easy to build, so he couldn't sit still in the residence. He quickly explained the various matters of living with Dongdu after accompanying him, and then hurried back to Da Nei overnight.

After returning to the Great Inner Palace, Li Tong did not enter the bedroom, but summoned the inner guard Tian Shaoan in the side hall next to Yanying Hall. While waiting, the officer took the recent secret script and started reading it.

The night was already very deep. Tian Shaoan was pulled out of the quilt and hurried into the palace. When he entered the palace, he was still a little sleepy. However, seeing that the saint's face was a little serious, his sleepiness suddenly became mostly awake, so he hurriedly went in front of him and listened to the question.

There are also records of public opinion on Heqian in the secret volume, but they are only recorded and no systematic investigation is carried out. The larger part is still related to the people's sentiment of Yijiadongdu.

Seeing that the inner guard had not missed anything, Li Tong did not take his anger. He just drew out the relevant content on the case, threw the secret scroll back to Tian Shaoan and ordered: "All the relevant matters will be thoroughly investigated! Before leaving Beijing, you must clearly distinguish the beginning and end!"
