Hanjing.

In the Shangdong District, the Tubo King's Mansion, the Donghui King's Mansion, the Xiangxiong King's Mansion, the Yangtong King's Mansion, the Nibau King's Mansion, the Subi King's Mansion, the Xichang King's Mansion, all of them were on the same street.

Because there are more than ten royal palaces scattered on this street, and they are also commonly known as the Ten Princes Mansions by the people of Hanjing.

In the Tubo royal palace, the Tubo king was dressed in a big red dress, and today he was the groom.

Songtsen Gampo had always fantasized about marrying a Dahua princess.

Today, he married a princess in Hanjing and he did marry a Dahua princess. However, this princess is not the emperor's daughter, this princess is just an adopted daughter of the emperor. She is said to be an adopted daughter, but in fact she is just a palace maid next to the queen.

The emperor accepted the palace maid as his adopted daughter, gave Princess Wencheng the title, and gave her marriage to Tubo Zanpu and the abdicated Zongnong.

The wedding was still very grand. As the end of the year, lords from all over the country arrived in Beijing one after another, and officials from various places also entered Beijing. There were also many missions from foreign countries and foreign tribes.

"Zanpu, be happy, today is your happy day." A Tubo guard said to Qi Zongnong.

Qi Zongnong looked at himself in the mirror, and he could no longer recognize him. He had only been in Hanjing for a few months, and he had changed a lot. He tied his long hair, held his Han crown, and his felt fur was replaced with a Han family robe.

Today I was married, and I wore a big red robe and a hibiscus flower was inserted in my ear.

The plateau redness on my face also faded a lot, and the sun-tanned skin on the plateau seemed to have turned a little white.

"Danzhu, Lu Dongzan's Prime Minister is probably already leading his troops across the Daxue Mountains and heading to Jieji Country?"

The warrior named Danzhu thought for a while, "If you calculate the time, it's almost done."

"I regret not coming to the Central Plains, not coming to see the Han Emperor. As soon as I saw him, I knew I would never go back to Tubo. I underestimated Zhang Chao, this man was unfathomable. I succeeded to the throne at the age of eleven. I worked hard for more than ten years, but I didn't expect that I would lose so badly in the end."

Although the Central Plains is good, no matter how prosperous Hanjing is, it is not his own country after all. Now, he is trapped in Hanjing by Zhang Chao, and now he has become the emperor's son-in-law.

What princess is just a palace maid.

In the past, he tried every means to marry Princess Dahua, but he was not allowed to marry Princess Dahua before he settled for the second best. He married Princess Chizun of King Niponi. Now he really married a Princess Dahua, but he was not happy at all.

Emperor Dahua married a "princess" to him, but took his Tubo Kingdom.

Another warrior came in.

"Zamp, His Majesty the Emperor has arrived."

Qi Zongnong tried hard to squeeze out a little smile in front of the mirror, "Let's go and welcome the Holy Driving."

There is a precedent that the Uighur Khan once failed to escape from Hanjing and was killed, and the entire Yaoge Luo family was eliminated. The chaotic Zongnong did not dare to act rashly in Hanjing.

The emperor kept his life just to enter Tubo in just right and slowly take over Tubo. If he did not cooperate, Dahua would have countless reasons to kill him quietly and then support a Tubo noble to succeed him.

"I am the king of the devastated country!"

"Today is Zamp's day." Danzhu said with a wry smile.

"What a happy day? Today is the day when my country is destroyed."

The front hall of the Tubo royal palace.

Emperor Zhang Chao was sitting and drinking tea with a group of prime ministers and princes.

Princess Wencheng, the Tubo princess, dressed in a green dress, serving tea to the emperor.

Zhang Chao took a palace maid as a princess and then gave it to the Tubo king. He really wanted to solve the Tubo country more gently. He put Qi Zongnong under house arrest in Beijing and married a Han girl to him. When the two of them gave birth to a son, Qi Zongnong would have no effect. Then he asked the prince to return to ascend the throne. Or let Qi Zongnong have more children, and then each prince would be sent back to enfeoff a place in Tubo.

In name, these princes were nominally named kings and marquis, but in fact, because of their young state affairs and military affairs, they were all left to the prime ministers and generals sent by Dahua to the responsibility of the past, so they could turn Tubo into the sky as simple as possible.

This Princess Wencheng also voluntarily married the absconded Zongnong, and changed from a palace maid to a princess, and then a princess. This change is still a big deal. If an ordinary palace maid cannot be favored by the emperor, at most, if he has to leave the palace and return home in a few years, most of them will marry a man from a fellow countryman.

Or because of their experience in the palace, they may be taken as concubines by a wealthy businessman. Generally speaking, girls who can enter the palace still look good, but they will come from a relatively ordinary family. After staying in the palace for a few years, their horizons must be completely different.

Some people are willing to go back to their hometown to get married, and then have children to take care of their husbands and children.

But some people are not willing to live a dull life again, just like many maids in big houses who would rather be an unnamed and unpaid house for the masters and young men in their families than marry a male servant of the same status.

After the palace maid knew that she would live in Hanjing forever and did not need to go back to the distant Tubo city, she happily agreed. In fact, she had only competed for this opportunity from several companions.

She became a princess, princesses, and even her family benefited from it.

The emperor and the empress gave her and her family a lot of property and land, and the Tubo king Qi Zongnong also took out a good dowry.

He used to work in front of the queen and was selected as the princess of Tubo. This palace maid also looks very good and has a good conversation.

In front of the emperor and the princes and prime ministers, he was also generous.

Those princes from Donghui Kingdom, Yang Tong Kingdom, etc., all envied the good fortune of Qi Zongnong, who could actually marry a princess of Dahua.

Zhang Chao waved his hand and an eunuch brought four gifts.

"Japans produce osmanthus!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Tubo king Qi Zongnong made a big move, "I pay homage to Your Majesty, I will be late to receive the emperor and die."

Zhang Chao laughed, "From today, you are going to change your words. You are my son-in-law and Dahua's son-in-law. Today is your happy day, so I'll just give you three glasses of wine."

Princess Wencheng immediately brought the wine pot to the wine glass. Qi Zongnong looked at his beautiful wife with a smile, and smiled and reached out to take the full wine glass and drank three glasses in a row.

The wine was so hot when he entered his throat, but at this moment, he just wanted to stop drunk.

········

At the Himalayas Pass, Lu Dongzan led 20,000 Tubo cavalry to the pass. In front, he passed the pass and entered Nibharu.

For a long time, there were many tribes on the plateau and were relatively backward. In the past, there was no real unity on the plateau. The tribes drove cattle and sheep to Nibharu for sale and purchased many commercial goods from there. The relationship between the two sides has always been stable.

Nibharata was a country that worshipped Buddhism and was also good at doing business. There was not much land in the country and the people were good at doing business. Decades ago, the king of Nibharata was Shivadva I, but this king was not good at governing the country, and the state affairs were all handed over to Prime Minister Amsuvarma. Later, after his death, the Prime Minister proclaimed himself king.

This prime minister who proclaimed himself king is the current king Amsuvalma, also known as Yangshu Famo by the Han people.

After Yangshu Famo succeeded to the throne, in order to consolidate his position, he grabbed domestic nobles while actively alliance with the neighboring Tubo and Jieji Kingdom. He even married his daughter Brikuti to Tubo Zamp, the princess, who was the Chizun.

Yangshu Famo's strategy is pretty good. At least after the Nipola and Tubo alliance, the two neighbors did not have conflicts, but instead they took what they needed.

The Tubo people resold the Central Plains merchant goods obtained from the north to Nipola, and also sold many of the spoils they obtained from conquering other tribes to Nipola people. The Nipo people's handmade manufacturing and construction technologies were relatively developed. The Nipola people built cities and forts for the Tubo people, and even built palaces for them.

In the past, Lu Dongzan has been here more than once, the last time he passed through this mountain pass.

He brought 50,000 Dahua gold coins and many gems to marry Princess Chizun for Zamp. Now, he brought 20,000 troops.

"Right Prime Minister, after passing the mountain pass, it is Nibura. I have sent someone to notify the Nibura king Yangshu Famo in advance, and they should send someone to greet him."

The one who was called the Right Prime Minister by Lu Dongzan was the right prime minister appointed by Dahua, Li Yibiao, an official from Dahua.

Originally, there was only one prime minister for a country, but there were two Tubo. The left prime minister was Lu Dongzan, the former prime minister of the country, and the right prime minister was Li Yibiao, the sanctuary of the Dahua Dynasty. There were even two generals in Tubo now, one was the original general of Tubo, the subject matter of the subject, that is, Qi Zongnong's uncle. The other general was Jiang Shiren sent by the court, and a veteran general of the imperial guards.

"Left Prime Minister, do you think Yangshu Famo will really come to greet him?"

Li Yibiao asked with a smile, but there was a knife hidden in this sentence.

Li Yibiao and Jiang Shiren, two Dahua officials, did not come alone. They were surrounded by a whole group of people from the reinforcement regiment, with a total of 3,000 people. If the logistics support force was added, it would be eight thousand soldiers.

The regiment commander was very young and didn't speak, just said that his name was Zhang Jun. The Right Prime Minister and the Right General did not bother with this person. However, with these eight thousand people there, Lu Dongzan was still very polite to the two.

Because he could see that the eight thousand people were not ordinary troops. When they marched all the way, they were not afraid of the plateau climate or the severe cold. Even when they marched and camped, there was still a sense of well-trained everywhere, and he could still feel the smell of iron blood from them. This was an elite force that had truly seen blood.

Especially the commander named Zhang Jun, who had a small position, could control these 8,000 people at one time, and ignored Li Yibiao and Jiang Shiren, which made Lu Dongzan feel more and more extraordinary.

He knew very well that he had brought troops here this time, and that it was one of the things he had to go to the Qakami Kingdom to help the Queen quell the rebellion.
