The Tang Dynasty married a princess and married a princess. Tubo asked for a princess first, but Li Shimin refused relatives. Tubo attacked Tang in a large scale. If Li Shimin married a princess like this, he would have the intention of being forced to marry a princess by Tubo. Li Shimin should not be good-looking.

But marrying a princess is different. Tubo defeated the Tang army and then married the princess to seek peace and surrender. This is a martial arts. It is also very nice to have it been passed down or recorded in history. And only when the northwest is stable can the Longyou Army Mansion be rectified, which is also in line with Li Shimin's political intention to first move the Guanlong family and rectify the military system.

Li Shimin first asked Yang family around him: "Tubo Zanpu wants to marry his sister Yu Ke'er, what do you think?"

Yang knew what Li Shimin meant and replied with a smile: "This is a national matter, and Your Majesty will decide the right way."

After Yang finished speaking, Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and Wu Meiniang beside him again. After all, the Eastern Palace where the Tubo Prince married, he had to ask the prince. Li Shimin seemed to be asking for their opinions, but at the same time he also expressed his own meaning.

Wu Meiniang had such a smart mind. As soon as she looked at Li Shimin and looked at her, she knew that Li Shimin intended to agree to this matter, otherwise Li Shimin would probably refuse directly.

In this moment, countless thoughts flashed quickly in Wu Meiniang's mind. Wu Meiniang's first consideration was whether the Tubo princess' marriage into the Eastern Palace was a threat to Li Ke's position as prince, secondly, whether the marriage between the two countries threatened the Tang Dynasty, and finally whether Li Ke accepted the title of concubine as her position as princess.

First of all, the marriage of the princess of a great country into the Eastern Palace was undoubtedly a little more helpful to Li Ke. Even if Tubo and the Eastern Palace were in disagreement, this help was only for face;

Secondly, as Li Ke himself said, Tubo was in full swing and was in a position of advantage. It would not take three or five years to destroy Tubo. First, it would be a good thing to make peace with Tubo, and prepare for the future. It would not be a bad thing;

Finally, and most importantly, Wu Meiniang is most concerned about it. As the prince, it is inappropriate for Li Ke to be so thin in the inner court. He will sooner or later accept the concubine. Instead of asking Li Ke to accept the daughters of aristocratic families or powerful people who threaten his position as the crown princess, it is better to ask Li Ke to marry the Tubo princess.

After all, there will be a war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo sooner or later. Li Ke will not have a relationship with this Tubo princess, and the Tubo princess will not threaten Wu Meiniang's favor and status.

There is another reason why Wu Meiniang has to agree with this matter, that is, although Wu Meiniang gave birth to the eldest son for Li Ke, and Li Ke has a successor, Li Ke’s inner courtyard is really thin and his descendants are not prosperous. If Wu Meiniang refuses to allow this matter here today, it would be a bit arrogant.

Wu Meiniang looked up at Li Ke and asked Li Ke in a low voice: "The father is in a good mood at the moment, and he cannot defeat his father's interest. If I think so, I should do this. How about it?"

Li Ke was not in a scruple or support for marrying a Tubo princess. The so-called marriage between the two countries was just a political means of face. Once the time was ripe, neither the Tang Dynasty nor the Tubo would even be slutty to the other party because of this marriage.

Li Ke himself knew very well that he would have a battle with Tubo sooner or later. Even if he married this Tubo princess, it would be just a decoration when he came back, and it would be harmless.

Li Ke smiled and replied, "This matter is okay for me, I will listen to your opinion."

Wu Meiniang got Li Ke's words and then stood up and said, "Report to my father, my son, I think this matter is very good. It can promote marriage between the two countries and peace on the border, and add people to our Eastern Palace."

Wu Meiniang was exactly the answer Li Shimin wanted. Li Shimin listened to Wu Meiniang's words and nodded slowly.

Li Shimin praised Lu Dong: "Since that's the case, then let's settle the matter. You can send an envoy back to inform Songzan Ganbu, and say that I have agreed to this matter. At that time, the ritual officials of the two countries will choose the best period and marry the princess to the Tang Dynasty."

"External minister thanks Your Majesty for your grace." Lu Dongzan smiled and immediately responded.

Although Tubo failed to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, he married the princess of the Tang Dynasty to the princess of the Tang Dynasty, which was a contributing marriage. Lu Dongzan finally completed Songtsen Gampo's explanation to him.

At this time, Li Ke, who was sitting below, looked at Lu Dongzan standing in front of him, and thought about marriage, but suddenly had a thought in his mind.

Lu Dongzan is both civil and military. If he is let go back to Tubo, he will be a big trouble sooner or later. Now the two countries are discussing marriage, isn’t it a good time to take the opportunity to keep Lu Dongzan?

Before Lu Dongzan was about to return to the banquet, Li Ke immediately stood up and said to Lu Dongzan: "The envoy is here to stay for the time being."

Then, Li Ke turned to Li Shimin and said, "You have to report to your father and emperor, and your son has something to report to you."

Li Shimin was in a good mood, so he smiled and said, "What's wrong with the prince?"

Li Ke replied: "I was married to Tubo in the Tang Dynasty. The Tubo princess married into the Tang Dynasty. She was inevitably confused and unfamiliar with everything. This caused an unnecessarily misunderstanding in life, causing unnecessary disputes between the two countries. My son thought that a capable minister could be sent by Tubo as an envoy to stay in the Tang Dynasty as a dowry envoy."

Lu Dongzan seemed to be defeated by Li Ke. Whenever there was anything related to Li Ke, Lu Dongzan could not get it. Just now, Lu Dongzan felt a little confused when he saw Li Ke suddenly appearing out. Sure enough, as soon as Li Ke spoke, Lu Dongzan secretly called in his heart that he was not good.

Others may not know about Li Ke's words, but Lu Dongzan knew very well that the so-called dowry envoy who stayed in Chang'an was definitely for him, and Li Ke's words later confirmed Lu Dongzan's conjecture.

Li Shimin said to Li Ke: "What Ke'er said is very true. If a princess is dowry, it is necessary to have a dowry envoy to stay in Chang'an together."

Li Ke glanced at Lu Dongzan and said to Li Shimin: "Lu Dongzan had a great time talking to his sons, and he was quite familiar with the language and customs of our Tang Dynasty. He was the best candidate for the dowry envoy."

When Lu Dongzan heard this, he was very anxious, afraid that after Li Shimin heard Li Ke's words, he asked Songzan Gampo to stay in Chang'an. Songzan Gampo should not be, nor should he not be.

Lu Dongzan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the foreign ministers admire the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty for a long time. It would be a blessing if they could stay in the Tang Dynasty. However, the foreign ministers were born in Tubo and were the eldest son, family, ancestral property, and parents in Tubo. They should not only take into account the family business, but also be filial to their parents. If they stay in Chang'an, we may not be able to explain our Gar family in Zanpu's side. We hope that Your Majesty and the Crown Prince will choose other virtuous people."

As Lu Dongzan said, Lu Dongzan is the eldest son of Tubo Daxiang Mangxiang Songsang. It is necessary to leave Lu Dongzan to inherit the family business. It is indeed inappropriate to leave the prime minister's eldest son in another country. At that time, it may be difficult for Mangxiang Songsang to be in Songzan Gampo. It is really difficult for people to do it.

At this time, Li Shimin didn't know the significance of Lu Dongzan to Tubo in the future, and Li Ke could not have told Li Shimin without any idea that Li Shimin only thought Lu Dongzan was just a child of a powerful Tubo with some talent and did not pay much attention to it.

So Li Shimin also agreed: "What the envoy said is, sending envoys to dowry is a good thing between the two countries, but it is not convenient to force others to do anything."

Since Li Shimin had allowed Lu Dongzan to stay in Chang'an without having to send a letter to the Dongjun Gonglangri for marriage, Li Ke was not inconvenient to insist on it anymore, otherwise it would make people think that Li Ke was mean.

But Lu Dongzan and his son were too valuable to Tubo, and they would be the biggest confidant of the Tang Dynasty in the future. It would be a pity to let it go. Li Ke thought about it and suddenly another thought came to his mind.
