"How about it?"

"I'm afraid it won't work."

“How to say it?”

"Zhang Changzong looked young, but the Tang people had many problems. He talked about so-called etiquette and was very smart and difficult to fool. I only dared to click until I didn't dare to talk too deeply, for fear that he would be suspicious."

"In this way... Zhang Changzong is a great general in the Tang Dynasty court. He has a high prestige. Tang people like good reputations. It is not surprising that they cherish their feathers. Don't be afraid. He is not the only minister of the Tang Dynasty. If Zhang Changzong doesn't work, he will find something else. It is a good thing to be able to catch the Xue Chongjian line."

"What my brother is talking about is. However, my brother, the Tang Dynasty's court is afraid that it has ulterior motives for us. Zhang Changzong not only has the national conditions and geography of the Tang Dynasty's northern borders, but also the Western Regions, Tubo, Nanzhao, Goryeo, Fusang and other countries. I am afraid he is a person with a heart, so he must be careful!"

"It's like this? I know, and I'll report it later."

***************

"Xiu'er!"

"What's wrong?"

As soon as Zhang Changzong went in and shouted, Xue Chongxiu walked out quickly from inside. Seeing his face, he immediately asked with concern: "Who made you angry? Could it be Erlang?"

As he said that, his face changed, and his eyebrows were cold and cold: "Is this kid itchy!"

Zhang Changzong nodded in agreement: "It's just that my skin is itchy. My vision of knowing people has never improved. I don't look at who they are, so I really should be tight-fitting!"

Xue Chongxiu paused and asked in confusion: "Is there any problem with the person who came with him today?"

Zhang Changzong said: "Something is wrong. Ask the people from the Ministry of Commerce to check it out, see who he interacts with, how he interacts with, etc. Take this Munideji as the point and deal with everything he has to do with him."

"But, I'll give orders tomorrow."

Xue Chongxiu didn't ask why, and immediately agreed. After agreeing, she asked: "What did you say just now, making you so angry?"

Zhang Changzong sighed and briefly said the conversation just now, saying: "The Nine Curved Land is the Hequ generation in later generations. The junction of Shaanxi, Gansu and Mongolia provinces is not a suitable place for farming, but it is possible to herd horses and station troops. The geographical location is extremely important. If it is occupied by Tubo, it will be the bridgehead for Tubo to invade the Tang Dynasty in the future. How can such a strategic location be granted the princess' fief? Those who make this suggestion either have ulterior motives or are not engaged in military affairs. Now I don't know what Munideji is about!"

Speaking of geography, Xue Chongxiu was a little confused and could not specifically connect with the map in her head. Seeing this, Zhang Changzong found paper and pen, and immediately drew it for her, and then clicked it on the map for her to show it-

Due to the current transportation conditions, Tubo could only walk from the Western Regions to enter the Central Plains. It was obviously impossible to get from Sichuan. The road to Shu was difficult, and it was not that simple. As long as Tubo occupied the nine-curve land, it would be smooth to enter and exit the Western Regions.

Xue Chongxiu frowned and said, "This place of nine curves must not be lost."

Zhang Changzong nodded: "It's good that you understand. Remember to tell the person to check it out carefully. Also, if you have a mother-in-law, don't forget to beat the edge drum to let her understand the geographical location and importance of the Nine Curves."

"I understand, I will go to my mother's side tomorrow."

Xue Chongxiu nodded immediately. Zhang Changzong also reminded: "Just in case, it is best to explain to Tubo envoys before they arrive in Chang'an. It is best to be mentally prepared."

"Don't worry, I will explain it to my mother clearly, don't be angry."

As he said that, his hand gently stroked Zhang Changzong's eyebrows and rubbed his frown open.

Zhang Changzong only realized that his wife was rubbing his eyebrows. His anger was boring. He was just talking about it. There was no need to be so angry. He smiled hoarsely, and the anger in his stomach disappeared in an instant. He hugged the person over and arched his head to his neck. The faint fragrance of his nose couldn't help but kiss him again.

Xue Chongxiu felt itchy in her neck, and couldn't help laughing, and reached out to push someone: "What are you doing? Itchy!"

Zhang Changzong raised his head and smiled: "Happy, it's great to have a wife! Especially a wife like Teacher Xue, it's even better."

Xue Chongxiu smiled softly, held his face in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Did you eat honey today? Your mouth is so sweet!"

Zhang Changzong smiled wickedly: "You'll know if you try it?"

Not only did they talk, but they even acted very hooligan, which caused his wife's coquettishness. The couple laughed and jokingly for a while, but there was no more anger. They had long disappeared, leaving only a heart full of affection.

When Zhang Changzong got up the next day, he went to the office. Xue Chongxiu first sent the task to the Yu part. Seeing that the time was almost over, he took his daughter to the Princess's Mansion in Zhenguo. Today was not a court meeting. Princess Taiping did not attend court, so he was in the mansion.

"Mother."

Princess Taiping has been quite busy since the Tanglong coup, especially after Enko announced that there were many Confucian scholars who gave her the book. Even if the chiefs of the mansion screened it and handed her the papers, there were still many. When Xue Chongxiu came, she was happy and said, "My son is here just right. Come and help Wei Mother take a look and choose some handsome guys."

"Here."

Xue Chongxiu responded, asked her daughter to come forward to pay tribute to her grandmother, and handed her over to her maid to play with her brother's children. She sat down and watched the papers with her mother.

After sifting through rough screening, Xue Chongxiu said to report yesterday to Princess Taiping, and focused on Zhang Changzong's doubts. Then, he looked at Princess Taiping and waited for her reaction.

Princess Taiping looked solemn and asked her: "Liulang said so... Can't you lose the land of Nine Curves?"

Xue Chongxiu focused on the key point: "You can't lose it! The ambition of Tubo wolf, it seems to be good friends with my Tang Dynasty, but it is only due to the power of the Tang Dynasty. It's better to be done when the Tang Dynasty is strong. If one day, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty will be damaged, the one who has ambitions will definitely be Tubo. If the land of Jiuqu is occupied by Tubo, the future is too great, and if you want to get it back, it will be a matter of one soldier and one soldier."

"Is this what Liulang said?"

"Back to mother, yes."

Princess Taiping pondered for a moment and said, "I trust Liulang's eyes. Forget it, I will pay attention to this matter. If the Tubo people really have this plan, it will not be too late for me to object. Now, it is not easy to talk to Your Majesty if they don't have the beginning or end."

Xue Chongxiu said: "My daughter understands that she came here today and only reported her mother to her, so that she can know what she wants to be deceived in the future."

After talking about the important work, the mother and daughter continued to read the papers. This was just the papers of Confucian scholars from nearby prefectures and counties. When the spring of the next year comes, there will be more papers to be submitted to the Princess’ Mansion in Zhenguo, and it will definitely be busier by then.

After a few days, the envoy who welcomed the bride of Tubo finally arrived in Chang'an and prepared to welcome Princess Feng Jincheng to Tibet. At this time, General Yang Ju of the Left Wu Guard wrote a letter and asked to choose the place of the Nine Qu to be the bathing place of Princess Jincheng, and add it to the princess's fief to accompany Princess Jincheng.
