Chapter 156 Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng
Princess Gaoyang seemed to be crazy.
With that blow from Monk Bian Ji, her attachment to the human world was completely severed.
Since her lover wants to kill her, is there any need to keep the illegitimate offspring between her and her lover?
But Fang Yiai was shocked!
The child is not yours, not yours, not yours...
His sky is falling!
At this time, Fang Xuanling also walked in from outside.
After paying respect to Li Chengqian, he slapped Fang Yiai on the face and said, "Get out of here! Isn't this embarrassing enough?"
Fang Yiai covered his face with his hands, tears streaming down his face: "Dad, that child is not mine, not mine..."
"Nonsense, how could it be yours? Can't you calculate the date? When you have sex, when you get pregnant, and when you give birth a few months after pregnancy, isn't that obvious?"
"But...."
Fang Xuanling's face was stern: "There's nothing to worry about. Go and get rid of the child yourself. Remember, family disgrace should not be made public!!"
Fang Yiai held his head and knelt on the ground in pain.
Fang Xuanling was so disappointed with him that he stepped forward, pulled him up, and slapped him a few times.
"Wake up, you are still young, you can have children in the future, don't be confused by what you see, cheer up, do you hear me!!"
Fang Xuanling looked at his father, nodded silently, and left with tired steps.
Fang Xuanling glanced at Princess Gaoyang again, then bowed to Li Chengqian and asked, "How does Your Highness plan to deal with the princess?"
"Don't worry, Lord Fang. I will announce to the public that Gao Yang is devoted to Buddhism and has taken the initiative to request to separate from Fang Yiai. This will definitely not damage Lord Fang's reputation."
Fang Xuanling sighed heavily and bowed deeply: "Thank you Your Highness for your help. From now on, if you have any problems, please don't hesitate to come to me. I will tell you everything I know!!"
Li Chengqian quickly helped him up: "Master Fang, you are too kind."
"Someone is coming!!"
Six original guards ran in again and said, "Behead all the palace maids and eunuchs present. No one is allowed to reveal a word of what happened today."
“It’s Your Highness!!”
At this time, someone came from the palace and said that Li Shimin asked the Crown Prince to return to the palace, saying that the Tubo King Songtsen Gampo escorted Princess Wencheng back to Chang'an.
Songtsen Gampo!!
Li Chengqian took one last look at Princess Gaoyang, handed the matter over to the eunuch accompanying the Eastern Palace, and returned to the palace with his men.
Inside the carriage, Li Chengqian was thinking about how to tell Li Shimin about Princess Gaoyang. After all, she was one of Li Shimin's most beloved daughters.
The key point is that that bastard, even if he was the son of Monk Bian Ji, was still the emperor's grandson.
Fang Xuanling dared to take the initiative to let Fang Yiai deal with this evil child, which was actually a token of his loyalty.
He took the initiative to hand over a handle to him so that the prince would feel at ease to use him.
This also shows that Fang Xuanling will completely follow the prince's lead in the future.
As expected of an old fox, he did things flawlessly!
I don't know if Li Shimin will blame Fang Xuanling for this...
Who cares? Li Shimin already has many children and grandchildren, so one less bastard is one less!
As for Songtsen Gampo...
Haha, since you’re already in Chang’an, don’t go back.
When we arrived at the Wude Hall, we saw Li Shimin enthusiastically pulling a man wearing characteristic plateau clothing and talking to him about something.
On the other side is a gorgeously dressed woman, and below her is a heroic middle-aged minister.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived~~"
Following the eunuch's high-pitched voice, several people turned their heads and looked over.
Li Chengqian just casually bowed to Li Shimin, which was considered a greeting.
We are all acquaintances, so there is no need to worry about the red tape.
But in the eyes of the other three, this is treason! !
The etiquette between father and son can be casual, but they cannot be impolite when meeting the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Highness, Li Daozong, pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Chengqian quickly stepped forward to help him up: "Uncle, please get up quickly."
Li Daozon was Li Shimin's cousin, and Princess Wencheng's father.
In other words, the person who married Songtsen Gampo was not Li Shimin's daughter, but his niece.
But if you think about it carefully, they are all of royal blood, so it is not an insult to Songtsen Gampo.
At least Songtsen Gampo had no objection because Princess Wencheng was very beautiful and virtuous.
The key point is that during the wedding, Li Shimin bestowed a lot of Tang Dynasty technology and even craftsmen.
These are what Songtsen Gampo wanted.
It was precisely because of the output of these technologies that, under the leadership of Songtsen Gampo, Tubo evolved from a loose alliance of plateau tribes into a powerful plateau empire, and eventually became a sword hanging over the head of the Tang Dynasty.
After the An-Shi Rebellion, Chang'an was captured several times, causing harm for a hundred years.
These are the roots of evil planted by Li Shimin.
But now Li Shimin has realized the importance of the plateau and the harm that Tubo posed to the Tang Dynasty.
He now has the same idea as Li Chengqian, which is to keep Songtsen Gampo here, or even find an excuse to kill him.
But how to deal with it specifically depends on Li Chengqian...
"Your humble servant greets my brother, the Crown Prince."
Li Chengqian looked at Princess Wencheng and said, "Sister, you don't have to be so polite. You married into Tubo for the peace of the Tang Dynasty. You are a hero of the Tang Dynasty. It should be your brother who pays respect to you."
As he spoke, Li Chengqian bowed to Princess Wencheng sincerely, which frightened Li Daozon and Princess Wencheng so much that they hurried forward to stop him.
"Your Highness can't!"
"Brother, please get up quickly!"
Li Shimin just looked on without any expression.
Instead, Songtsen Gampo looked at the Crown Prince with great interest.
He had spies in Chang'an. As soon as he arrived in Chang'an today, the spies told him what had happened during this period.
He knew that the Crown Prince in front of him was a ruthless man, a wise ruler and tyrant who was no worse than Li Shimin! !
You have to deal with it carefully.
Moreover, this time the Tang Emperor suddenly ordered him to escort Princess Wencheng back to Chang'an, which was most likely the idea of this prince.
Is there any conspiracy here?
"The foreign minister Songtsen Gampo greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Chengqian then turned his attention to Songtsen Gampo: "Songtsen Gampo..."
"Get up. Since you are in Chang'an, stay a little longer and enjoy the scenery of the Tang Dynasty."
"Yes, I thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
After a meaningless conversation, Li Shimin waved his hand and asked Songtsen Gampo to leave.
Now everyone in the palace is our own people.
"Sister, what do you think of Songtsen Gampo? I mean, do you have feelings for him?"
Princess Wencheng smiled bitterly: "I've already given birth to a child for him, so what does it matter if I have feelings for him or not?"
This is blaming the royal family, blaming Li Shimin!
Li Dao Zong quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Your Majesty, the princess..."
Li Shimin waved his hand nonchalantly: "I was wrong back then, and I must correct my mistakes. Wencheng, just tell me directly, do you have any feelings for Songtsen Gampo?"
