Under Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's contemptuous gazes towards the politics, economy, and military of other countries, a letter for Princess Jincheng to return to the Great Tang was delivered to Zu Zan of Childe. Furthermore, the letter deliberately emphasized the problem of the supply of many people and the lack of livestock.
After Zu Zan saw the letter, he drank a lot of tea and felt like he was dreaming.
The letter was not written by either Zhang Xiaobao or Wang Juan, nor was it written by an important minister of the Tang Dynasty. It had nothing to do with Li Longji.
"Nuu, someone wrote you a letter asking you to go back. Take a look." Zu Zan drank a pot of tea and found that his stomach could not hold it anymore. He ordered someone to find Princess Jincheng and handed the letter to her.
Seeing the ugly words on the letter, Princess Jincheng was stunned at first, and then she did not care about Zu Zan and praised him.
"Aunt Princess Jincheng, I heard that there are many strange things in Tibet, but I haven't seen them yet. I want to go, but I can't go. Or it is autumn. Aunt Princess has lived in Tibet for nine years, so I know about it. Xiaoyuan said, 'I am not ashamed to ask, so I ask Aunt Princess to come to the north to lie down, enjoy the boundless snow, and talk about prosperity.
In the north, there is peeling, and there is grass in Ula La's family. Aunt Princess, come and build a snowman. I have prepared carrots, brooms, basins, and countless coal. You must come, otherwise, will the snowman be so scared? Gu Dan.
Zhang Xiao Bei, one ninth of the Imperial Scholar. Present. "
After Princess Jincheng finished reading the misspelled letter, she was confused. What was this mess? And that official, the Imperial Censor is a fifth rank official. What is one ninth of the Imperial Censor? Who is Zhang Xiaobei? Only these three words are better written. It should be a general practice.
Princess Jincheng, who was confused after reading the letter, looked at Zu Zan, "Zan Pu, where did this letter come from? Does someone dare to make fun of me? "
"It's not making fun of you, it's making fun of me. Zhang Xiaobei, Zhang Xiaobao's younger sister, five years old this year. I invite you to Jili Province to make a snowman, tell stories, tell stories about my Tubo. Look at the days, if you don't leave now, you will miss the first snow."
Ancestor Chi De's face was gloomy. This was the first time he had heard that a married princess could go back. This was too much of a bully. It was not Li Longji who summoned her back, nor was it an official letter. It was actually a little brat who wrote the letter. This was looking down on him.
Zu Zan Chi really wanted to slap Princess Jincheng a few times. This was all because of her, but he didn't dare to do so. Now that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were pressuring him with their troops, even the slightest provocation would affect his entire body.
Only then did Princess Jincheng know who Zhang Xiaobei was. So it was like this. It seemed that her letter had worked. If she didn't use the official language, others couldn't use the official language to speak. En, not bad, the handwriting was really good. Even if there were a few wrong places, it could be forgiven.
"Zan Pu, what should I do?" Princess Jincheng was both expectant and worried. She wanted to go back to the Tang Empire to have a look, but she was afraid that Zu Zan would not agree.
"Yes, what should I do? What should I do? " Zu Zan did not have a good idea. He did not want to agree, but he was worried that Wang Juan would find an excuse. Her younger sister asked someone to make a snowman and tell a story. Do you want to put a child's behavior into politics?
This excuse should be enough for Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao. When the time came, the forty thousand soldiers would move and stop the food exchange, and they would be able to bully them all the way home. No, they had already bullied them all the way.
Princess Jincheng was very clear that her current status was all because of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. She did not expect that a five-year-old child would be a fifth-rank official. Even if it was a third-rank official, it was still a fifth-rank official. It seemed that the Emperor was really good to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Family.
Many officials could not enter the fifth-rank in their lifetime, but a child could enter the fifth-rank. A fifth-rank official could enter the imperial court.
"Zan Pu, what kind of official is the ninth-rank official of the Imperial Censor?" Princess Jincheng suppressed the excitement in her heart and changed the topic. She did not want to force Zu Zan to express his opinion.
Zu Zan also knew that Princess Jincheng did not know enough about the Tang Empire. To be precise, she did not know enough about the Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Family.
He sighed and explained, "The so-called ninth-rank official of the Imperial Censor is actually more powerful than the third-rank official. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan now have nine younger brothers and sisters. It is useless to take one out, but as long as the nine of them work together, they can impeach any official in the Tang Empire.
They have already taken care of an official. Many Great Tang officials avoid them because they are still children and don't use the compromises and concessions of the bureaucracy. It is precisely because of this that the Great Tang Emperor believes that they have no selfish motives when they impeach him. Being targeted by them is even more unlucky than being targeted by the censorate. "
"Ah?" Princess Jincheng covered her mouth with a look of disbelief. A fifth-rank official was already scary enough. She did not expect that he also had real power. "How is this power given to the nine children? It is clearly a sword given to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan."
"Wrong, this is the power given to the nine children. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan do not need to use impeachment means. If they want to do something to someone, they will do it directly. I heard that the nine children are different from others. They are smart and clever. Nuu Nuu, do you want to go back?"
Zu Zan Pu knew very well about the Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Family. He had to know. His place was occupied by others. Although it felt that the Tang Empire was a little chaotic with the Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Family, it was the truth.
Princess Jincheng wanted to nod. He said that she was going to Jili Province. Could it be that she was not allowed to go back and take a look when she passed by the capital? Good method. She did not write a letter in vain.
Thinking like this, Princess Jincheng did not dare to say. She lowered her head and said to Zu Zan Pu, "If Zan Pu wants me to go back, I will go back. If Zan Pu does not want me to go, I will not go."
When Zu Zan Pu heard this, he knew that Princess Jincheng wanted to go back. He was angry. Just as he was about to think of a way to stop her from going back, someone came in from outside.
This time, it was a sword and a big envelope.
'What is the meaning of this? Why did Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan send a sword? Is it going to war? ' Zu Zan Pu forgot to stop Princess Jincheng from going back to the Tang Empire in an instant. His eyes were filled with horror. He carefully picked up the sword and looked at it. It was a very ordinary sword. It had not been sharpened yet.
Putting down the sword, he picked up the big envelope and looked at it with Princess Jincheng. First, a letter fell out. The other things were papers with numbers written on them. The papers were very beautiful and there were complicated patterns on them.
"Great Tang Bank, worth one million coins, Li Longji." Princess Jincheng read the words on the paper and asked puzzledly, "What does it mean?"
"It means that this piece of paper is worth one thousand strings of coins. One thousand strings of coins, one million is one thousand strings of coins. They want to use this kind of money to pay the bill. This … how are they going to spend it after they get it?"
Zu Zan Pu was depressed again.
"Flying money?" Princess Jincheng asked again.
Zu Zan Pu nodded and then shook his head twice. "It is better than flying money. Flying money can only be used in a certain area. This money can be used in the Tang Empire. Look, this is to prevent others from counterfeiting. At least in the Tubo Empire, it cannot be counterfeited."
Zu Zan Pu introduced the paper and pointed out in detail to Princess Jincheng. However, his heart was cold. No matter what, he was the ruler of a country. He would not just look at the surface of things. To be able to create such money, it meant that the technology of the Tang Empire had improved. To dare to let people use paper money, it meant that the foundation of the Tang Empire was very solid.
"This paper money is sharper than the sword." Zu Zan Pu added and picked up the letter to read.
Princess Jincheng read it together. After reading it, she not only wanted to cover her mouth, she also wanted to cover her eyes. It would be best if she could wrap herself tighter with the quilt.
The words in the letter were too arrogant.
'West meets Brahma, North is full of grass. Yazhou hangs, Penglai is full of immortals. Four barbarians come to court, eight sides share joy. I invite you to visit Mount Hua to discuss the sword. '
"Zan Pu, I want you to go to the capital. It seems that you are not the only one invited. Are you going?" Princess Jincheng was even happier. If Zan Pu was going, he would have to bring her along. Mount Hua was in Huayin County, Huazhou, next to the capital.
But she did not know what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan meant. Inviting people from all over the country, did they want to catch them all in one go?
Zu Zan Pu was also frightened, especially the words at the end of the sentence. It was actually not Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan using their own names, but Li Longji's name.
Regardless of whether Li Longji gave the two of them this authority, if the two of them dared to use it, they would naturally discuss it with Li Longji. Moreover, Li Longji seemed to value the two of them very much.
To go or not to go, this was the problem.
In the past, who would foolishly go to Tang Dynasty's capital and be afraid that they would not become a hostage? But now, it was not about whether they would become hostages or not, but the consequences of not going. This excuse to start a war was more sufficient than the previous one.
What did Mount Hua mean? Was it a provocation or a threat?
Zu Zan Pu thought about many things. In the end, he felt that it was better to go than not going. If he went, Tubo would still be Tubo. Li Longji would not think that he could swallow Tubo by killing him. If he did not go, Tubo might not be Tubo. Devilish Cuckoo seemed to have been silent for a long time.
More importantly, if others went and he did not go, who knew what they were talking about? When the time came, they would all join forces and attack Tubo together. With Tubo's current strength, they would not be able to deal with it.
"Wait for me to write a letter and ask clearly. If I go, Nuu, you can accompany Xiao Bei to build a snowman." Zu Zan Pu said what Princess Jincheng wanted to hear the most.
