    "Can you pass this test?" Li Shimin was stunned after hearing this, "Chengqian, what do you mean?"

    "Father, please let me answer this question!" At this moment, Li Min finally struggled to stand up, walked slowly to Li Chengqian's side and said, "Father, whether it is the eldest brother or the son, who are you waiting for?"  Both brothers have a bad impression of Tubo. Especially last time, the Tubo envoy spoke rudely to me, the Princess of Tang Dynasty, which made my son very angry. Although this time the Tubo king came to propose marriage in person, showing enough sincerity, but I want to  It is not that easy to marry our imperial sister, so the sons and ministers thought of two test conditions. Only if the other party completes these two tests, then we will agree to marry our sister to him!"

    After listening to Li Min's words, Li Shimin looked at the two sons standing together with great interest. As an emperor and father, he knew the things between his sons best. In Li Chengqian's opinion, Li Min should be  His biggest rival, but now the two of them are joining hands to bring trouble to Tubo. There must be some inside story that he doesn't know!

    And Li Tai next to him was even more confused. He really didn't expect that the eldest brother and the sixth brother were actually colluding together. Are they really just targeting Tubo?

    "Liu Lang, what two test conditions have you set for Tubo?" Li Shimin's interest was completely aroused. It was rare for several sons to work together. Although there must be something fishy in it, the reasons Li Min said were also very sufficient.  The princess of Tang Dynasty was not only his daughter, but also Li Min's sister. She was worried about her sister's marriage.  //Baidu search See the latest chapter//It can be considered as a serious intention, just for this thought, as a father, it is really difficult for him to refuse, and besides, he actually has some anger towards Tubo in his heart, and he just happened to borrow a few sons.  The hand vented his anger for him.

    "Father, the Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette. Naturally, we will not ask some barbaric and unreasonable questions!" Li Minqiang supported his sick body, but there was an excited sinister smile on his face, as everyone who knows him knows.  This is Li Min trying to scheme against someone again.

    Li Min cheered up and spoke again: "Father, my son, my third brother, and some friends worked together to organize a sports event in the Tang Dynasty, temporarily named the Tang Dynasty Winter Games.  There will be many competitions, and the two questions that Erchen presented are both from this Datang Winter Games."

    Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this. Of course he knew about the Winter Games that Li Min and Li Ke were organizing. After all, he was a sports fanatic himself and liked hunting and polo the most. So when the news of the Winter Games came to  When he heard it in his ears, it really excited him.  After all, even if you can't play the game in person, it's still good to have an eye-opening experience.

    "Liu Lang, please tell your father quickly how you want to present the question at the Winter Games?" Li Shimin asked enthusiastically.

    "This is what my father, son, ministers and several brothers think. If Tubo comes to propose marriage, it must show its strength, so they must send people to participate in this Winter Games, and in the early games, they must  You have to win the championship in at least three events, and then at the end of the game, there will be a bicycle race around the city, and the ministers will also participate. If that Songtsan Gambo is really sincere, then he will go to battle in person with the ministers.  Let¡¯s compare, if he can defeat all his subordinates in the competition, then we will be convinced!¡±

    As soon as Li Min¡¯s two questions came out, Li Zhen, Li Zhen and the other younger ones started covering their mouths and laughing. Li Ke also smiled, but Li Tai next to him was even more fascinated.  Behind them, Fang Xuanling and other civil and military officials were all whispering. Li Chengqian and Li Min had been embarrassing Tubo under the pretext of family affairs from the beginning, so they officials could not get in the conversation at all.

    After Li Shimin listened, he walked back and forth on the jade steps several times, talking psychologically about whether the two requests Li Min made were difficult or easy.  As far as Li Shimin knew, due to the hasty preparations for the Winter Games, not many people participated, and there were more than 20 competitions alone.  Moreover, there are more than a thousand Tubo people coming this time. It is not difficult to win only three championships from so many competitions.

    In addition, the round-the-city cycling race is even simpler. With Li Shen, who is only eight years old, almost all of Li Shimin¡¯s sons who can participate in the race are here. However, counting from Li Zhen down, the three of them are too young to be able to compete at all.  I can only make up the number, and Li Chengqian has a disabled leg, which makes it difficult to even walk, let alone ride a bicycle.  Li Tai was obese and probably just a little stronger than Li Chengqian, so he was also excluded. After all, only Li Ke, Li Min and Li Yun were left. However, Li Min was sick and he didn't know if he would be able to participate.  Li Yun was timid and cowardly, and Li Shimin was not very optimistic about him, so in the end, Songtsan Gambo's only opponent was Li Ke. As long as he defeated him, then the marriage would beNo one can stop things anymore.

    Thinking of this, Li Shimin finally made up his mind. Although he was dissatisfied with Tubo, as a ruler, he must be tolerant. Judging from the current situation, getting married with Tubo is indeed a matter of great benefit and no harm.  , so he was very much in favor of the marriage.

    "Well, it's rare for you brothers to work together and make such a request. As a father, I will satisfy your request, but I also have a condition!" Li Shimin's footsteps suddenly stopped and he said with a smile, "You can compete with the Tubo people.  , but you are absolutely not allowed to do anything behind the scenes, otherwise if you are discovered by me, then this agreement will be invalidated and the marriage will still proceed as usual!"

    "Thank you, Father, for agreeing!" Seeing Li Shimin agree, Li Ke and Li Zhen, who were sitting behind them, stood up quickly, walked to Li Min and bowed.  Although Li Tai hadn't figured out what was going on, seven of the eight princes had already gone up. If he was still sitting, it would only appear that he was isolated by the other brothers, so he had no choice but to follow in the end to thank him.

    Finally, the matter was done, and Li Min breathed a sigh of relief.  After retreating from the court, he was supported by Li Ke and was about to return home. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by two civil and military leaders, Fang Xuanling and Li Jing. Based on their understanding of Li Min, the other party would never make peace without reason.  The Tubo people play this kind of game!

    Faced with the two people's questions, Li Min really didn't know how to answer, because the other party's attitude was obviously similar to Li Shimin's, both of them were in favor of marriage. After all, from their standpoints and perspectives, for the time being, they could only see marriage as the best option.  Don brings benefits.  Fortunately, Li Min got wise in his haste and suddenly pretended to be sick and coughed loudly.  And Li Ke knew the opportunity, and while fighting with the two, he put Li Min on the carriage, and then the two brothers immediately rode away, leaving only Fang Xuanling and Li Jing who stamped their feet in anger.

    Having convinced Li Shimin, Li Min no longer has to worry about Tubo.  The next day Li Shimin personally summoned Songtsen Gampo and put forward his sons' requests.

    Songtsen Gampo is only twenty-one years old this year. He has received a good education from the Tubo aristocracy since he was a child. Moreover, when he was thirteen years old, his father was poisoned to death and the country was torn apart. It was he who succeeded his father at a young age and organized the army to conquer the East.  After the expedition to the west, the internal rebellion was put down and Tubo was unified. It can be said that he is a hero of his generation in both literary and martial arts. He is also very proud. So when he heard that the Tang prince wanted to compete with him, he immediately agreed without hesitation.  Come down.

    As for Li Min, he had been waiting for the news of Songtsen Gampo for a long time. As soon as he heard the other party's promise, he immediately mobilized all the newspapers under his direct or indirect control to report the Tubo marriage in a large amount of space. Under Li Min's instruction, he also  Special mention was made of the Battle of Songzhou two years ago, which greatly exaggerated the arrogance and rudeness of Tibet. It insulted the Tang princess with arrogant words, which led to the failure of the marriage proposal. It also took the lead in launching troops to invade the Tang Dynasty, which led to the outbreak of war between the two countries. Thousands of people were killed.  Tang Man'er died in southern Xinjiang.

    Regarding the Battle of Songzhou, although the newspaper reports were slightly exaggerated, most of them were indeed true. Many family members of those who died in the war even came forward and cursed the Tibetans in the newspapers, provoking disputes for no reason.  That's why their sons or husbands died in the war, and some newspaper men with good writing skills even described scenes of orphans crying for their fathers, doing their best to stir up tears and stir up emotion.

    As soon as these reports came out, the reputation of the Tubo people in the Tang Dynasty naturally dropped again and again. The Tubo people even had to be careful when taking to the streets, because they were likely to be besieged by the excited people of Chang'an. So for a while, the Tubo merchants fled one after another.  They didn't dare to stay in Chang'an for too long. What's more, even the Dongnu Kingdom and Dangxiang merchants who were relatively close to Tubo were also implicated. After all, in the eyes of the people of Chang'an, their appearance and habits were really similar.

    As the reputation of Tubo declined, the reputation of the princes headed by Li Chengqian rose sharply.  This is mainly because when Li Min was reported, he made some small modifications and exaggerations to the content, removed some political and identity factors, and simply emphasized that their brothers could not bear to let their younger sister marry far away, so they came forward to  He came out and started a civilized competition with the Tubo people to save his sister.  It can be said that from the beginning, Li Min portrayed his brothers as a group of positive characters.

    Chang'an is one-third of an acre owned by Li Min and his brothers, and Li Min controls most of the newspapers. Therefore, in terms of public opinion, the Tubo people can only be scolded, and there is no way to retaliate even if they want to.  As for Li Shimin, the newspapers didn't dare to say anything wrong about him anyway, and he couldn't get rid of anyone by scolding him, so he didn't bother to care, let alone other civil and military officials. No one would fight with the entire prince group for the sake of a small foreign country.  Get it right.

    ¡°While Chang¡¯an City was shouting to kill the Tibetans, a convoy was slowly approaching on the road east of Chang¡¯an City.  This convoy is not large in size, and the style of the carriage looks very ordinary. However, if you look carefully, you will find that there is a horse in front of it with a person on it.The workmanship of the car is very exquisite and meticulous, and even the materials used are high-quality mahogany. You can tell at a glance that the person sitting in the car is definitely not an ordinary person.

    Just when the convoy was about to arrive at Chunming Gate, the window of the carriage at the front was opened, revealing an old face inside. The other party looked at the Chang'an City Wall with his cloudy eyes, and then felt helpless.  He muttered to himself: "Li Min, Li Min, I'm here. I hope your conditions will satisfy us all!"
