As a celestial state, Datang never worried about the requests of smaller neighboring countries.
After all, the land is vast and the resources are abundant. As long as these small countries are dominated by the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin does not mind giving them more benefits.
As for the so-called help, it is nothing but easy things.
"Your Majesty, it's like this. Last year, my wife died suddenly, and now the Gaochang Kingdom has no heir. Therefore, I would like to ask His Majesty's permission to marry a Tang Dynasty woman as my wife."
"Also for me, Queen Gaochang." Qu Wentai said as he cupped his hands with the emperor.
The emperor had heard of the news of Queen Quwentai's death before.
But he didn't take it to heart.
After all, whether King Gaochang's queen died or not had nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty.
But what the emperor did not expect was that Qu Wentai came to Datang this time to seek to marry a Tang woman.
Although Qu Wentai did not say which woman he wanted to marry, the emperor knew that this woman was at least a woman from a high-ranking prince's family.
Otherwise, Qu Wentai must think that he despises him.
The geographical location of Gaochang State is critical, and the emperor will not conflict with Gaochang State unless it is absolutely necessary.
But the emperor knew better that no one would be willing to marry the daughter of a prince or a high-ranking official to Gaochang Kingdom.
Gaochang State basically means the same thing as Tubo.
No woman wants to go there!
"King Gaochang, our Tang Dynasty may be able to agree to other things, but I'm afraid we can't agree to your marriage proposal."
"His Royal Highness the King of Han has always been firmly opposed to my Tang Dynasty women marrying to other countries, of course, except for the mutual consent of both parties."
"But if King Gaochang asks for marriage like this..." Fang Xuanling said.
His original intention was to remind the emperor that if Qu Wentai wanted to ask a Tang Dynasty woman to be his queen, Zhao Chen would not agree.
But the emperor thought of what Empress Changsun said to him two days ago.
"Prime Minister, I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty." The emperor frowned and said to Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling was stunned for a moment and stepped back.
"King Gaochang, there is a woman named Wu Jue from the King of Han. Her country is beautiful and fragrant, and she has reached the age of leaving the imperial court."
"I will issue an edict to give her to King Gaochang." The emperor said with a smile.
"His Majesty……"
"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor." Fang Xuanling was about to speak when he saw Qu Wentai saluting the Emperor.
Fang Xuanling felt extremely strange.
Zhao Chen was originally the most opposed to marrying a Tang Dynasty woman to another country, but now the emperor wants to marry Zhao Chen's Wu Jue to Gaochang.
Wu Jue followed Zhao Chen when he was eleven years old.
Zhao Chen is like a father and a brother to her.
When the emperor did this, wasn't he deliberately targeting Zhao Chen?
Fang Xuanling began to feel uneasy.
Thinking that Chang'an, which has finally settled down, will fall into a new turmoil again?
After leaving Ganquan Hall, Fang Xuanling did not go directly to find Zhao Chen, but went to Wei Zheng's mansion.
Wei Zheng, the old guy, was still angry with Zhao Chen for not putting Li Tai to death.
When they saw Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng was still lying on a deck chair and hiding in the shade of a tree to enjoy the cool air.
"Xuancheng, you still have time to rest."
"Chang'an will be in chaos soon!" When Fang Xuanling saw Wei Zheng, his face was full of anxiety.
He looked like this when he came up, but he couldn't fix Wei Zheng!
"What happened?" Wei Zheng sat up and asked Fang Xuanling.
It's rare to see Fang Xuanling look so anxious.
Wei Zheng inevitably began to pay attention to it.
"Today Gaochangguo..." Fang Xuanling informed Wei Zheng about what happened in Ganquan Palace today.
"You said, didn't His Majesty target Zhao Chen deliberately?" After finishing speaking, Fang Xuanling asked Wei Zheng again.
Isn't this targeting Zhao Chen?
Not only must the Tang Dynasty woman be married to Qu Wentai, but Wu Jue who is next to Zhao Chen must also be married to her.
This is all just to clean up Zhao Chen openly!
Zhao Chen will definitely not agree.
But is Zhao Chen going to confront the emperor?
But with Zhao Chen's temper, he would agree?
This is obviously impossible for both parties!
"Why?" Wei Zheng asked anxiously.
The Tang Dynasty finally became a little more stable, if the emperor started to fight with Zhao Chen again.
I'm afraid it will be more terrifying than any conflict in the past.
Do these people support Zhao Chen or the emperor?
With Zhao Chen's character, he will definitely create a situation that is difficult to deal with.
By then, Datang will really be finished!
"I don't know why either."
"Obviously, Zhao Chen has not met with His Majesty even once in the past few months, how could they do this?" Fang Xuanling shook his head.
He couldn't understand that Zhao Chen and the emperor hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Why did the emperor target Zhao Chen this time?
"Then what should we do now?" Wei Zheng asked.
At this moment, he was worried about Zhao Chen and the future of Datang.
If Zhao Chen gets into trouble with the emperor, the people of the Tang Dynasty will be the ones who get hurt in the end.
If this matter is not handled properly, it may harm the future of Datang.
"Go and see the Queen, she should know what happened!" Fang Xuanling was silent for a moment and said.
…
Cheng Chumo felt like his butt was about to break into two pieces.
Fortunately, after a whole morning of hard work, he finally learned to ride a bicycle successfully.
Riding a bicycle around the school grounds made all the students envious.
All the students looked at Cheng Chumo eagerly.
"Dean, can you give each of us a bicycle?" Li Zhi and Zhao Chen asked.
Zhao Chen glanced at Li Zhi and said, "Bicycles are a commuting tool for the gentlemen of the college."
"If you want it, it's not impossible."
"In the monthly assessment, the top five with comprehensive scores will be rewarded with a bicycle."
"Top five?"
"There are three hundred of us."
"This is too little. How can we get in the top five?"
"Dean, this is too cruel. If I were to pick a hundred, I think I would still be in the top five..."
When many students heard Zhao Chen's words, their previous high expectations suddenly died down.
Being among the top five of 300 people is definitely not a simple matter.
Zhao Chen didn't care, the conditions had already been given.
Who can get the reward depends on their own ability!
"Cheng Er, it's almost done, let them train." Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo, who were still walking around, shouted silently.
The novel things created in the college soon attracted the attention of many gentlemen and the medical students of the Western College.
Bicycle, a novelty that I have never heard of before.
They are naturally very interested.
For example, Niu Jinda came to Zhao Chen that afternoon.
I have to take away that first bicycle at all costs.
Cheng Chu watched helplessly as his bicycle was pushed away by Niu Jinda, and he almost punched Niu Jinda and knocked him over.
Niu Jinda pushed his bicycle away triumphantly, attracting everyone's attention on the way.
After falling for two hours, Niu Jinda took advantage of the evening and rode his bicycle along the official road back to Chang'an.
Along the way, the people on the road looked at the bicycle under Niu Jinda in surprise.
The strange thing moved faster than an ox cart, and the news spread throughout Chang'an early the next morning.?
