Chapter 342

As soon as Li Xueyan's hand stopped pouring tea, he looked at Qin mubai and said curiously, "how to say it?"

"Is that the second question?"

"Xueyan is just boiling a pot of new tea for the general. How about learning?"

Qin mubai can't help laughing. How can he refuse such a request?

"All right! Today, Qin is shameful and shameful. He talked with the princess once. "

"General Xie Qin!" Li Xueyan immediately took a new brick and began to grind it. He was a little excited and said, "general, sit down and drink old tea. New tea will be ready in a moment. "

Qin Mu nodded and took the tea in his hand. He took a sip of it and couldn't help gazing at Li Xueyan.

To be fair, her appearance is not as good as Wu Meiniang's, not as noble as Princess Gaoyang's, not as fierce and flying as Chen Yan's, not as gentle as Yao Er's.

However, if the advantages of these four women are concentrated in one, it would be too perfect.

That's right. Li Xueyan, who is only 15 years old.

At first glance, she has no bright spots and defects. She gives the impression of a gentle and generous beauty.

But some people tend to be of this type. They are not conspicuous when they are thrown into the crowd. After they get along with each other, they just feel that they are different.

Just like an ordinary dish that can be seen on the table of thousands of families, it won't make people feel amazing and vulgar. But. Only the chef with superb craftsmanship can cook it with extraordinary unique flavor.

Li Xueyan is probably such a woman. Her inner talent and characteristics are completely beyond her appearance and family background. Obviously, plain faced, gentle and low-key, she did not take appearance and family background as the capital to show off.

If the inner world is not enriched to a certain level, can she?

For a moment, Qin mubai had a different interest in the little girl in front of her, and decided that the little girl was not as simple as she looked.

An ordinary family woman. How can you sit alone with a strange man pin Ming in such a late night to discuss the headache of the monarchs and prime ministers?

In this way, Li Xueyan, a little girl dressed in snow white, is really a wonderful person.

……

Li Xueyan took a brand-new tile pot and boiled the tea. With a satisfied smile, she said, "listen to my father, the general loves the bright green moon. This kind of good tea should be simmered in the spring mud pot of huyangyue kiln. It's just that the skill of snow geese is crude. Don't make fun of them, general. "

"The princess is too modest." Qin mubai couldn't help laughing. "Among the tea Qin had drunk, only his royal highness Wu's craftsmanship could be compared with that of the princess. The skill of the princess is definitely not inferior to that of GONGZHONG Tea Museum. "

"Yes? The general needs to drink more. " Thousands of wear, thousands of wear fart don't wear, Li Xueyan happily smile, face dew blush, turn and way, "just now we talk to where?"

"Should, should not."

"Hee hee Li Xueyan actually a smile, smile and a bit mischievous, said, "that general, please teach me quickly, talk about why snow goose should not go to Tubo and relatives?"

Now Qin mubai is puzzled.

Is it really fun to get married? Is she really not afraid of tigers, or is she confused and ignorant?

Tubo people are similar to "barbarians" in the eyes of Tang people nowadays. The Tang people believed that they were uncivilized and looked like wild animals. Women were even more disrespectful, just like cattle and sheep, and were trampled by men. In a family, it is common for father and son to share one daughter.

In the view of the Han people with moral education, it's not only to break the customs. And for women, it's even more difficult to accept.

What's more, the Tibetan Plateau is covered with ice and snow for more than half of the year. Thousands of miles are covered with ice and snow. Is it such a fairyland on earth as Chang'an? Although Li Xueyan is not an orthodox princess, she is also a respectable princess. How can she survive in the barren land of Tubo plateau? Homesickness alone can make people collapse!

Qin Mu Bai shook his head and asked: "look at the situation, the princess is willing to marry Tubo?"

"I took the initiative to ask for orders to marry Tubo." Li Xueyan's words are astonishing, but indifferent.

Qin mubai couldn't help but be surprised. His hand holding the cup stopped and asked naturally, "why?"

"How can we cherish the snow goose and her daughter when we fight for 100000 yuan?" Li Xueyan chuckled and said, "a general is a leader. He should know the horror and cruelty of war. How many people have left their homes and lost their relatives? How many families have been separated and their families have been destroyed. If you can use a snow goose to compensate for all this, isn't it worthwhile? "

Qin mubai was silent and speechless.

"The general has a good mind and a good mind. He is a hero for a while in running the army and the country. It's not necessary for snow geese to talk about this Li Xueyan said, "Xueyan knows that she is young and has little knowledge, so she only wants the general's advice. Why can't she go to Tubo?"

Qin mubai pondered for a long time, but he didn't really know how to answer this question.Li Xueyan was not worried. She said with a faint smile: "is the general thinking about why Xueyan is so great, but he is deliberately undermining the dignity of your seven foot man? Don't get me wrong, general. Xueyan doesn't mean it. Snow goose just sincerely ask for advice. "

"Well, let's chat and talk freely, and you don't have to take it seriously." Qin Mu Bai said with a slight smile, "in private, it's unnecessary to say. Your background is far away from home and married in the barren land of Tubo. It's hard to predict the fate of life and death. It's just one of them. Second, the harsh natural environment of Tubo is hard for the strong men of Han and Tang Dynasties to adapt to, let alone you? Therefore, if you go to Tubo, you will face all the unknown fears and imaginable sufferings. "

"This snow goose knows naturally." Li Xueyan said with a smile, "please talk about the deep reasons."

Qin Mu Bai said with a smile, "it's about the state affairs and the nation. It's not easy for Qin to talk about it. In a nutshell, if peace can bring true peace, what is the use of the army? Since ancient times, how can there be a war? "

"If the marriage is successful, Xueyan will say it without shame. It can bring at least 30 years of peace between Tang and Tibet. " Li Xueyan said, "isn't it worth it?"

Qin mubai said with a smile: "what about 30 years later? Send another princess, don't you go on fighting? "

"Snow geese are incompetent and can only take on the task in front of them. If you go to the plateau, do your best to civilize the Tubo people and minimize friction and war. " Li Xueyan said, "without civilization, there is no enlightenment; without enlightenment, there is no virtue; without virtue, there is no war."

After listening, Qin Mu Bai had a smile on his face. Smile, there is appreciation, there is moved, there is a trace of sadness.

Li Xueyan is really an unusual woman.

If you use a rather vulgar but shocking word to describe her, she is great.

Women are not men, they can be heroes!

"General, is Xueyan wrong?"

"You're right. If you can really do this, you will give up your own body to save thousands of people, and later generations will erect a monument for you. No matter Han people or Tubo people, they will certainly respect you and cherish your memory. Your name will be handed down from generation to generation. " Qin mubai said.

"So, how can the general not let snow geese go to Tibet to make peace?" Li Xueyan asked, more confused than a hint of interrogation.

Qin mubai could not help but smile and said, "I didn't refuse you to go. I just don't think you need to go."

"Please, general."

"It's not much to give advice, it's just a fool's opinion." Qin mubai said, "at this time, or even 30 years later, it is reasonable and cost-effective for the princess to marry Tubo. Only one of you has been sacrificed, the reunion of a family has been hurt, and tens of thousands of people's blood and sorrows have been saved. Standing on the position of the nation. Of course, this is much more cost-effective than the bloody expedition of a million troops. But From the perspective of a hundred years, a thousand years and even history, and from the perspective of the nation, it's of little significance for you to do so. "

"What do you say?"

"Because the contradiction and opposition between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo were almost innate. It's just like two tigers in one mountain. Sooner or later, they will fight each other. " Qin mubai said, "to marry you down to Tubo is like a tiger giving a piece of his own prey to a tiger, so that the other party won't bite him. But. This situation has not been changed in the slightest. Between the two, sooner or later, we have to fight to the death. At this time, give the prey to the other side, but let the other side keep strong and strong enough, even worse. Tiger nature is hard to change. Tomorrow, he will not remember that you gave him prey one day. He will only remember that he still wants more prey and wants to occupy this mountain. Give it or not. It will only treat you as an enemy. "

"Xueyan doesn't agree with the general's words." Li Xueyan said softly, but she insisted on the meaning. She said, "the metaphor of erhu is appropriate, but Xueyan married Tubo, but she didn't send her prey."

"Why not?" Qin mubai said with a light smile, "the Central Plains have always given marriage to the Hu people. All of them take away a lot of gold and silver wealth and civilization technology in agriculture, mulberry weaving, astronomy and geography. Hu people learn from our Han masters, eat our clothes, learn from us, and then use these things to teach our teachers. If you say you are not a prey, how can you tell us what preparations the court has made for you in settling down and offering marriage? "

Li Xueyan's expression suddenly stagnated for a moment, and her face was a little gloomy. She said, "Your Majesty is going to take me as her adopted daughter and grant her Princess Wencheng. My father will be sent to the Tibetan Plateau as his wedding envoy. The other party abandoned the sect and praised him personally. I can't really remember that the dowry for the accompanying wedding is quite rich. About There are nearly ten thousand pieces of gold, silver and jade, several Buddha statues of Sakyamuni, many treasures, and hundreds of volumes of gold and jade bookcases. In addition, there were thousands of musicians, technicians and craftsmen accompanying them. They also provided a variety of cooking food, brocade quilts with various patterns, and hundreds of divination classics. There are dozens of construction and engineering works, many medical classics and prescriptions, and many seeds of cattle, sheep, horses and grain turnips. I vaguely heard from the people in the household department that these people lined up with cars, which was about a hundred miles long. "

"Oh Qin Mu Bai couldn't help laughing, "I'm generous in Tang Dynasty. When I marry a daughter, I want to empty my family. I'm afraid I can't show the grand trend of Tang Dynasty. I'm afraid other people will say we're stingy. ""General, I also know that this dowry is not only rich. Gold and silver utensils came second, mainly ancient books, medicine and seed farming tools, which were enough to civilize the Tubo people within 20 years. Isn't that a good thing? Although the Tubo people are enemies to us, they are also people! " Li Xueyan said.

"It's a good thing to educate people and get rid of ignorance, which I have never denied. Although you are a woman, you are broad-minded and can be treated equally even though you are an enemy. In this regard, I, Mr. Qin, sigh for myself Qin mubai said, "but if you educate them in this way, it's just like when the two armies confront each other, you inform the enemy of our army's formation and deployment. If you are compassionate and worried about the heavy casualties of the enemy troops, are you not afraid that your own troops will suffer a great loss because of this? "

"Ah That's it Li Xueyan exclaimed, and the flower lost its color. She said, "Xueyan. That's not the point! "

"The princess is frightened. It's a crime of some people." Qin Mu Bai quickly arched a hand and said, "my analogy is a little too much, and my words are a little heavy, but that's the truth. The princess has the kindness of the princess, great and pure, admirable. Qin is a military man and a soldier. But the soldiers also have the kindness of the soldiers. "

"Soldiers' benevolence? This What do you say? " Li Xueyan asked in surprise.

Qin Mu Bai opened his mouth and was about to say that the sound of footsteps came from the door. At the same time, there was a loud voice like a bell: "the kindness of the soldiers is to stop the killing by killing. It's OK to kill!"

"Father

"Lord!"

They got up in a hurry, and Li daozong walked in high spirited, laughing: "Yan'er, you are too rude! Asking these many naughty questions annoyed general Qin. Throw you into the pond. "

"The Lord has spoken." Qin mubai said with a smile, "Princess Bing Xueming is very clever, and she is kind, pure, loyal and righteous. Qin is ashamed of herself."

"All right, all right." Li daozong laughs and pulls them to sit down on the stove and says, "I wake up after sleeping to ask for tea, but I don't see geese waiting on my bed. Looking for someone to ask, it turned out that he was pestering Qin Sanlang here to say something irrelevant. "

"Father. You prefer to make fun of your daughter in front of others. " Li Xueyan smiles and makes tea for her father.

Li daozong laughed and licked his calf. He said, "mubai, you are not an outsider. I have something to talk with you for a long time. Yan'er is very righteous. I heard that her majesty chose her daughter to marry Tubo, but she was willing to go. This makes me feel and hurt. Fortunately, now the issue of marriage has been suspended. But I don't know what to think. Originally, I couldn't do anything in Youzhou, but it was a matter of national affairs, so I had to wait for your Majesty's call and take Yaner to come from Youzhou to discuss the marriage to Tubo. More than 70% of the people in the court support marriage, and most of them are generals with troops. I've heard that you've always opposed giving marriage. What's more, your opinions have a great influence on your majesty. At this moment, it is public and private. I don't know if I should be grateful to you, ha ha! "

"Why is it so? Qin is just right about things, not people. For Tubo, Qin's opinions have always been clear-cut and firm. The two are like two tigers on the same mountain. Unless one side falls down, the war will never be extinguished. " Qin mubai said, "it's not wrong for the princess to let the Tubo people accept the idea of civilization. However, I can be very responsible to say that they will only accept our civilization, but will not receive any enlightenment. They will always treat our Central Plains Datang with a hostile attitude. Therefore, we can only think of a way to fundamentally solve the problem, that is, to step on the plateau to accept Tubo, to accept them into our Han nationality, and to completely assimilate and integrate them. This is the only way to solve the problem. Since ancient times, who has ever seen such a thing happen? It's nothing more than wars, peace and kinship, wars. After losing my wife, I lose my soldiers. The dignity, honor and disgrace of a big country depend on sending out its daughter. What kind of dignity, honor and disgrace is it? How can I be ashamed of my husband and my husband? How should the posterity comment? They will say that we only think about what is in front of us. If we live without war or bloodshed, we will have no sense of hardship, and we will leave the troubles and the difficult things and the war we will face sooner or later to our future generations. Is this not a great irresponsibility? ——Our ministers who plan to run our country and army are like little cowards. What kind of features should we leave in the history of the Qing Dynasty to see future generations

The sonorous voice fell. There was an instant silence in the room. Li Xueyan's face turned red, and she stared at Qin mubai, holding her breath.

"Magnificent." Li daozong, seemingly unmoved, just raised his eyebrows slightly. His target was like a torch on Qin mubai's face. It seemed like a few words were understated, but it was like a sharp arrow penetrating Qin mubai's heart -

"remember what you said, Qin mubai. With these words, you are either a great hero or a hero in history. He's a big liar. "
