Li Xueyan's hand was stagnant while pouring tea, and she looked at Qin Mubai with a look of surprise, and curiously asked: "How to say?"

"Is this the second question?"

"Xueyan will make a new pot of tea for the general. How about teaching?"

Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing. How to refuse such a request?

"Okay! Today, Qin was embarrassed and brazen, and discussed the truth with the princess."

"General Xie Qin!" Li Xueyan immediately fetched a new tea brick and began to grind it. It was a bit of excitement, and he said while grinding, "The general sits for a while and drinks old tea. New tea will be good soon. "

Qin Mubai nodded and took the tea in his hand, sipping a sip and couldn't help but stare at Li Xueyan.

In all fairness, her appearance can't match Wu Meiniang, she is not as noble as Princess Gaoyang, and she is not as fierce and flying as Chen Yan, nor is she as gentle as water to feminine and soft like a demon.

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

Yes, that's Li Xueyan, a young woman who is less than fifteen years old.

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

But some people are of this type. They are not conspicuous when they are thrown into the crowd. Only after getting along do they feel that they are different.

Just like an ordinary dish that can be seen on the tables of thousands of households, it will not make people feel amazing and vulgar. However, only chefs with superb craftsmanship can fry it into an unusually unique flavor.

Li Xueyan is probably such a woman. Her inner talent and traits completely surpass her appearance and family background. Obviously, the gentle and low-key face of her, she did not regard her appearance and family background as capital to show off.

If it weren't for the inner world to be fulfilled to a certain level, could she be so?

For a while, Qin Mubai had no interest in the little girl in front of him, and decisively believed that this little girl was definitely not as simple as she looked.

Why would an ordinary girl near the house sit so calmly and naturally with a strange man Pinming in such a late night to discuss the headaches of the monarchs?

So, this little woman, Li Xueyan, who wears a snow-white robe, is really a wonderful person.

……

Li Xueyan took a brand new earthenware pot and boiled tea, and smiled contentedly: "I heard my father said that the general loves Birun and Mingyue. This kind of good tea should be made in the spring water green clay pot specially made by Huyangyue Kiln. Come and simmer. It's just that the snow goose's skills are crude, and the general should not make fun of it."

"The princess is too humble." Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing. "In the tea that Qin drank, only the craftsmanship of His Royal Highness Wu can compare with the princess. The craftsmanship of the princess is definitely not Lost to the Palace Tea Expo."

"Really? The general would like to drink more." Li Xueyan smiled happily and said, "Where did we talk just now?"

"That, and shouldn't."

"Hehe!" Li Xueyan laughed unexpectedly, still a bit mischievous, and said, "The general, please enlighten me, tell me why Xueyan should not go to Tubo to make peace?"

Qin Mubai was puzzled now.

Is it really fun to "marry someone"? Is she really a new-born calf not afraid of tigers, or is she confused and ignorant?

The Tubo people are similar to "barbarians" in the eyes of the Tang people. The Tang people believed that they were uncivilized and shaped like wild beasts drinking blood. Women were even more disrespectful, and they were tortured by men like sacrificing cattle and sheep. In a family, it is common for father and son to share a daughter.

In the eyes of the morally enlightened Han people, this is not just as simple as vulgarity. And for women, it is even more difficult to accept.

Furthermore, the Tubo Plateau is covered with snow and ice for more than half a year, and thousands of miles of ice are covered with snow. Is it a fairyland like Chang'an? Although she is not an orthodox princess, Li Xueyan is also a pampered princess. How can she survive in the barren land of the Tubo Plateau? Just the pain of homesickness can make people collapse!

Qin Mubai shook his head and asked, "Depending on the situation, the princess is happy to marry Tubo?"

"I took the initiative to ask for orders to marry Tubo." Li Xueyan said astonishingly, but calmly as before.

Qin Mubai couldn't help being stunned, his hand holding the teacup stopped, and naturally asked: "Why?"

"He Xixueyan is a daughter?" Li Xueyan smiled and said, "The general is the leader of the army. You should know the horror and cruelty of war. How many people left their homes and lost their relatives, how many wives? It’s a broken family. Wouldn’t it be worthwhile to use Xueyan and a daughter to compensate for all this?"

Qin Mubai was silent for a while, speechless.

"The general has a good mind and a good plan. It is a short-term hero to run the army and the country. This simple truth is definitely not necessary for Xueyan to speak to the general." Li Xueyan said, "Xueyan knows herself well. He was so young and short-sighted, so he only hoped that the general would give him instruction. But how could Xueyan not go to Tubo?"

Qin Mubai pondered for a long time, but for a moment he really didn't know how to answer this question.

Li Xueyan was not in a hurry, and smiled faintly: "Is the general thinking why Xue Yan behaved so great, but deliberately undermined your dignity as a man of seven feet? Don’t misunderstand the general, Xue Yan has nothing to do. Yi. Xueyan is just asking for advice sincerely."

"Well, let's just chat, talk freely, and you don't have to take it seriously." Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "Yu Shi, don't need to say. Your background is far from home and married in the barren land of Tubo. Life and death, misfortune, and good fortune are unpredictable. This is just one. Second, the harsh natural environment of Tubo, even though it is a strong man from Han and Tang Dynasties, it is difficult to adapt, let alone you? Therefore, you go to Tubo, We will face all unknown fears and imaginable pains."

"This Snow Goose naturally knows." Li Xueyan chuckled dismissively, and said, "Please tell me the deep reasons."

Qin Mubai smiled slightly, and said: "It's about the state and the nation. Qin is not good to talk about it. In general terms, if marriage can bring real peace, what is the use of the army? Throughout the ages, how can war come?"

"If the marriage is successful, Xueyan said without embarrassment, it can bring peace between Tang and Tibet for at least 30 years." Li Xueyan said, "Isn't it cost-effective?"

Qin Mubai smiled slightly: "What about thirty years from now? Sending another princess to the war?"

"Snow Goose is incompetent and can only take care of the things in front of him. If you go to the plateau, do your best to teach the Tubo people in a civilized way to minimize friction and war." Li Xueyan said, "Uncivilized, no enlightenment; no enlightenment, There is no way to cultivate morality; if you don't cultivate morality, there is no way to avoid war."

After listening to Qin Mubai, a smile appeared on his face. In the smile, there is appreciation, touch, and sadness.

Li Xueyan is indeed an unusual woman.

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

Women don’t let their beards and eyebrows, they deserve to be heroes!

"General, is Xueyan wrong?"

"You are right. If you can do this, you will save yourself and save thousands of people from fire and water. Later generations will set up a monument for you. Whether Han people or Tubo people, they will definitely respect you and miss you. It's a good story. Your name will be passed on from generation to generation." Qin Mubai said.

"So, why didn't the general let Xueyan go to Tubo to make peace with each other?" Li Xueyan asked, a hint of interrogation when he was confused.

Qin Mubai couldn't help but smiled slightly, and said: "I didn't let you go, but I didn't think you had to go."

"Please enlighten us."

"I can't talk about enlightenment, just my own ignorance." Qin Mubai said, "At this time, or even thirty years later, it is reasonable and cost-effective for the princess to marry Tubo. Only sacrifice You alone hurt the reunion of the family, and saved thousands of people from bleeding and sorrow. From the standpoint of the state, this is of course much more cost-effective than the expedition and bloodshed of a million army. But...stand for a century, a thousand years Even from the perspective of history, from the perspective of the nation, what you do does not make much sense."

"How to say?"

"Because of the contradiction and opposition between Datang and Tubo, it is almost innate. It is like a mountain and two tigers. Sooner or later, we will be divided into life and death." Qin Mubai said, "Marrying you to Tubo is like Jiahu gave a piece of his prey to Yihu, and temporarily eased the contradiction so that the other party would not come to bite. However, the situation of this mountain and two tigers has not been changed in the slightest. Between the two, sooner or later, you will have to fight to the death. Victory. At this time, giving the prey to the opponent will make the opponent grow stronger and more troublesome. A tiger’s temperament is hard to change. Tomorrow, he will not remember that you gave him a prey one day, he will only remember, He still wants more prey and wants to occupy the top of the mountain. If you don’t send prey to it, it will only treat you as an enemy."

"Xueyan dare not agree with the general's words." Li Xueyan said softly, but she insisted on the meaning, she said, "The metaphor of two tigers is appropriate, but Xueyan married Tubo, but it is not a prey."

"Why not?" Qin Mubai smiled lightly and said, "The Central Plains has always given marriages to the Hu nationality, and all of them have taken away a large amount of gold and silver wealth and the civilization technology of mulberry weaving, astronomy and geography. Hu people are like us. The Han master learns art, eats ours and wears ours and learns from us, and then uses these things to teach us teachers. If you say that you are not a prey, how can you say that the imperial court has done everything for you to give you a marriage? Ready?"

Li Xueyan’s expression lags for a moment, and the color on her face is a little bit gloomy. He said: “Your Majesty is going to adopt me as an adopted daughter to give Princess Feng Wencheng to the Tubo Plateau. Abandoned Zong Nongchan personally greeted him. The dowry given by the accompanying wedding is richer, I don't remember very true. There are about 10,000 pieces of gold, silver and jade, several Buddha statues of Sakyamuni, many treasures, and hundreds of volumes of gold and jade bookcases." In addition, thousands of musicians, technicians, and artisans accompanied various cooking foods, brocade cushions with various patterns, hundreds of divination classics, a clear guide to identifying good and evil, and dozens of works on construction and engineering. There are many kinds, medical books and prescriptions of healers, as well as many seeds of cattle, sheep, horses and cereals. Vaguely heard from the people in the household department, these people and cars lined up, about a hundred miles long. "

"Heh!" Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing, "I'm generous in Datang. Marrying a daughter, I can’t wait to emptied my family. I'm afraid that I won't be able to show the trend of my Datang. Stingy."

"General, I also know that this dowry is not just so rich. The gold and silver artifacts are only second, mainly those ancient medicines and seed farming tools, which are enough to allow the Tubo people to accept civilized education within 20 years. Is this possible? Isn't it a good thing? Although the Tubo people are our enemies, they are also human!" Li Xueyan said.

"Cultivating ignorance, this is naturally a good thing. I have never denied it. Although you are a woman, you are very broad-minded, and can be treated equally even if you are an enemy country. I also sigh for this. Furu." Qin Mubai said, "But if you teach them this way, it's like when the two armies are facing each other, you tell the enemy of our army's formation and deployment. You are compassionate and worry about the enemy's heavy casualties, so you are not afraid of your own army. Because of this, did you lose the blood and lose the blood?"

"Ah!...this!" Li Xueyan exclaimed, Hua Yan paled in shock and said, "Xueyan, I have no intention of this!"

"The princess is frightened, because of a certain sin." Qin Mubai arched his hand hurriedly and said, "My analogy is a bit too far, and the words are a little harder, but the truth is that. The princess has the princess's. Kindness, greatness and innocence, admirable. Qin is a martial artist and soldier. However, soldiers also have the kindness of soldiers."

"The benevolent soldier? What...how do you say it?" Li Xueyan asked in surprise.

Qin Mubai opened his mouth and was about to say, footsteps came from the door, and at the same time a loud bell sounded: "The mercy of a soldier is to kill to stop killing, and to kill!"

"Father!"

"Lord!"

The two hurriedly got up, Li Daozong entered in a hurry, laughing: "Yan'er, you are too rude! Asking these many naughty questions, annoyed General Qin, and threw you into the water. In the pond."

"The prince has spoken." Qin Mubai hurriedly said with a smile, "The princess Bingxue is very clever, and he is kind, pure and loyal, so Qin is embarrassed."

"Okay, all sit down." Li Daozong smiled and pulled the two of them to sit down on the stove, and said, "I slept and woke up to beg for tea to drink, but I didn't see the always behaved geese in me. Waiting on the bedside. Asking someone to ask, it turns out that Qin Saburo is here to say something infinite."

"Father, you prefer to make fun of your daughter in front of others." Li Xueyan smiled sweetly and made tea for his father.

Li Daozong laughed, and the feeling of licking the calf was beyond words, and said: "Mubai, you are not an outsider. I have something to say to you for a long time. The Yan'er can be regarded as righteousness. I heard that your Majesty is in the clan Among them, she chose her beloved daughter to marry Tubo, and she actually took the initiative to go. This made this king both sentimental and sad. Fortunately, the gift of marriage is temporarily stranded, but I don’t know what to think about in my heart. In Youzhou, I don’t want to work, but it’s a matter of national importance. I had to listen to your Majesty’s summons and rushed from Youzhou with Yan'er to discuss the marriage of Tubo. In the DPRK, more than 70% of the people support the gift. Marriage is one of the few, most of which are generals with soldiers. I heard that you have always opposed marriage. Moreover, your opinion has a great influence on the emperor. At this moment in public and private, I don’t know whether I should be grateful to you, haha!"

"Why is the prince like this? Qin is only right about things and not people. To Tubo, Qin always has a clear and firm opinion. The two are like two tigers on the same mountain. Unless one of them falls, they will never be extinct. War.” Qin Mubai said, “The princess wants to let the Tubo people accept the idea of ​​civilization and education. This is not wrong. However, I can say very responsibly that they will only accept our civilization, but they will not receive anything. Enlightenment will always treat our Central Plains Datang with a hostile attitude. Therefore, we can only think of a way to solve the problem fundamentally, which is to flatten the plateau and conquer the Tubo and incorporate them into our Han nation. , To completely assimilate and integrate them. This is the only way to cure the symptoms. Throughout the ages, who has ever seen such a thing as peacemaking? It is nothing more than endless wars, peacemaking, and wars, losing his wife and breaking down. One The dignity and honor and disgrace of a great country must be maintained by sending out daughters. What kind of dignity and honor and disgrace are I and martial arts and men like me? How should we comment on future generations of history? They will say that we only consider ourselves in front of us. In this matter, when we are alive, there is no war or blood and death, so how can we live without a half-minded sense of anxiety, throwing troubles and tricks and wars that will sooner or later to our children and grandchildren. Isn’t this great? Are you irresponsible? —— I will be like a little coward when I am waiting for the country to govern the army. How should I stay in the history to see future generations!!!"

As soon as the sonorous voice fell, there was no sound in the room. Li Xueyan's face flushed red, her eyes widened as she looked at Qin Mubai, holding her breath.

"Zhuangzai." Li Daozong only raised his eyebrows slightly, seemingly unmoved, and the target was thrown on Qin Mubai's face like a torch, like a few words understatement, but like a sharp arrow inserted into Qin In Mu Bai's heart——

"Remember what you said, Qin Mubai. With these words, you are either a big hero or a big liar in the history of youth."
