Zhao Ziliang handed the memorial to the young eunuch next to him and put it back, and said seriously to Xuanzong: "Your Majesty, the humble minister's views happen to be opposite to those of the ministers."
After hearing Zhao Ziliang's words, Xuanzong couldn't help but look at Yang Yuhuan.
Yang Yuhuan smiled and said: "Ziliang, this is strange.
Can you tell me the reason?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "Let's talk about the first point first.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, we have made two marriages with Tubo.
One was Princess Wencheng and the other was Princess Jincheng.
These two marriages were political needs at the time.
It can be said that At that time, our military power in Longyou and Hexi was weak, so we had to use the marriage proposal to ease the relationship with Tubo."
Xuanzong nodded and said: "Yes, but it is the same this time.
Why doesn't Zhao Qing agree to make peace with Tubo?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "The situation is indeed roughly the same as the previous two times, but the difference is that the Tubo people were at war with our country in the previous two times, and they knew our true and false situation, but this time the Tubo people did not know our true and false situation in Longyou and Hexi , if I marry the princess to Tubo Zanpu, it will arouse the suspicion of Tubo monarchs and ministers.
In this negotiation , the imperial court must clearly tell Yan Zhenqing that during the negotiation process, he cannot let his momentum be at a disadvantage, but his attitude must be tougher.
This diplomatic negotiation is also the same as using the art of war.
Use virtual reality to be realistic, real reality to be virtual, and make the opponent confused.
And Wei Chen is not against the marriage, but this marriage is different from the last two marriages."
Yang Yuhuan wondered: "What's the difference?"
"It's not that my court married the princess to Tubo Zampu, but that Tubo married the princess to my court's prince."
Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan looked at each other in confusion for a long time before Xuanzong came back to his senses and asked: "Is this possible?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "Who says it's not possible?
Who stipulates that for the marriage between the two countries, I can only marry the princess from the court, but not my wife?
Only in this way can we dispel the doubts of the Tubo monarchs and ministers.
It has always been me who married the princess.
We are here."
I will also marry a princess from a foreign country."
Xuanzong thought about it.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Zhao Ziliang said made sense.
He couldn't help but nodded happily and said: "Haha, not bad, not bad, reasonable."
Yang Yuhuan asked again: "Why does Ziliang not agree to the second clause, but agree to the third clause?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "Wei Chen objects to the second item, but does not agree with the third item.
However, if the Tubo people insist on it, the third item can be discussed."
Yang Yuhuan thought Zhao Ziliang's idea was strange.
After all, it was completely different from today's mainstream ideas.
This made her extremely curious and interested.
If it was other political affairs, she would not bother to pay attention.
Zhao Ziliang said: "We can use an analogy.
If the empress is a skilled craftsman, she will not only live a rich life by relying on this craft, but also make her family live a good life.
But if one day you have a wonderful A friend who has no source of income comes to you to borrow money or learn a craft from you.
Should you lend him money or teach him a craft?"
Yang Yuhuan thought for a while and said: "If he is a very good friend, I think I will give him my skills.
After all, if I lend him money, he won't be able to use it for long.
However, if he learns my skills, wouldn't he If he wants to work with me, I think I'd better lend him money, but I can't always lend him money."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "He is just your friend, not your family.
Even if you are your brother or sister, you can help him once or twice.
How can you help him for a lifetime, let alone just a friend?

He has his life, and you have your family.
If you help him once or twice, you have done your best.
You also know that even kindness is enough.
A friend can only lend money but cannot teach you skills, otherwise he will take your work, not to mention he is your enemy.
This is the same as the truth between Tubo and our country.
Now we want to stabilize Tubo, if Agree to Tubo's conditions and include a large number of medical books, smelting, and forging in the dowry Books and craftsmen on farming, construction, and construction are equivalent to helping the enemy.
If they learn these skills, the national power will be stronger.
With the skills of smelting and forging, they can make sharper weapons and stronger armors themselves.
They have learned Farming methods, food production increased, they learned If you know how to build, you can build houses, and fewer people will freeze to death.
If they learn the methods of treating diseases in medical books, many people will die of illness every year.
They are our enemies, and our country is eager to destroy Tubo.
That’s great, why give them these things?
Isn’t this stupid?”
When Princess Wencheng got married, her dowry included a large number of medical books, smelting, forging, farming and other books.
From the perspective of later generations in the unified and peaceful era, Princess Wencheng's marriage to Tubo greatly improved the living standards of the Tibetan people.
Improvement, the level of civilization has also been improved, and cultural exchanges between the two places have been strengthened, which is of great significance.
However, in the era of the Tang Dynasty, its consequence was to capitalize on the enemy, not anything else.
After all, Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan were from this era, as were other ministers and civilians.
Due to the limitations of the times, they could not think outside the box and believed that giving these things to Tubo was a kind of grace and gift.
However, after Zhao Ziliang's analysis, the two People's minds feel suddenly enlightened.
Xuanzong sighed: "Ziliang's words are so good.
Why couldn't I and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty figure this out before?"
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is not surprising.
Your Majesty and the ministers in the court are mostly influenced by the ideas of the ancients and predecessors.
It is normal for them not to see through them.
So Wei Chen thinks that if it is not possible, we would rather sell some ironware to them.
They also need to agree to sign a covenant.
Iron tools are consumables and they do not have superb casting skills.
The armor made with this skill is not as tough and sharp as the armor of our dynasty.
It is also no match for our army, and the armor is easily damaged and consumed.
But if the Tubo people learn the skills of mining, smelting and forging, we will want to contain them.
It’s difficult, so skills must not be easily learned by foreigners.”
Xuanzong nodded and said to Zhao Ziliang: "I will discuss this matter with the ministers tomorrow.
There is another matter to come to Ziliang today."
After saying that, Xuanzong gave Yang Guifei a thumbs up, and Yang Guifei smiled and said to Zhao Ziliang: "That day in Maweiyi, your majesty and I both met Ziliang's second son.
He is a very talented person.
I don't know how old he is this year."
Zhao Ziliang said: "Zhao Ting, the second son of Weichen, is sixteen this year."
Yang Yuhuan smiled and said: "That's right.
Your Majesty likes Zhao Ting very much and wants to betroth Princess Yining to Zhao Ting.
What do you think?"
Princess Yining is Li Heng's daughter and one of Xuanzong's granddaughters.
Currently, the only princess in the royal family's direct lineage is the same age as Zhao Ting, and she is not married yet.
"Uh" Zhao Ziliang was stunned.
Seeing Zhao Ziliang's appearance, Yang Yuhuan asked, "Why, Ziliang doesn't want to?"

Zhao Ziliang came back to his senses and said quickly: "No, no, Wei Chen just thought it was too sudden, and Zhao Ting, the dog, never mentioned the idea of getting married to Wei Chen.
Although marriage is a matter of parents' order, the matchmaker said, But it is always wrong to completely ignore the feelings and thoughts of the children.
If the man and woman cannot get along, they will not be able to survive even after they get married.
Wei Chen feels that His Majesty wants to marry the princess to Quanzi.
There's no reason why you wouldn't want to be a high-ranking person.
However, Wei Chen has a suggestion.
Find a way for the princess and Quanzi to meet each other without telling them about the marriage.
If they can get along well and fall in love, This marriage can be finalized.
Both Wei Chen and His Majesty the Queen are happy to see it happen.
If they can't negotiate, then let it go.
Your Majesty doesn't want his princess to marry into Wei Chen's family and suffer injustice, right?"
Xuanzong was very happy when he saw that although Zhao Ziliang did not agree directly, he did not shirk it directly.
Instead, he had considered it carefully.
He immediately agreed: "That's good.
Since it is like this, today is already the 19th of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year is only a few days away.
After the Chinese New Year, the Lantern Festival next year will be a good day.
Ziliang will bring Zhao Ting to Chang'an before the Lantern Festival.
Then I will arrange this matter.
What do you think?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask, who is the biological mother of Princess Yining?"
Xuanzong smiled and said: "The biological mother of Princess Yining is the palace lady Zhang" Zhao Ziliang suddenly realized: "Oh" The next day, after some discussions between Xuanzong and his ministers, he ordered Shangshu Sheng to write a reply to Yan Zhenqing, rejecting the second article and modifying the first article to allow Tubo to marry the princess to the Tang Dynasty.
As for the third article, it was required at the beginning of the negotiation.
Vetoed, as negotiations progressed To proceed, we can make some concessions and agree to export 10,000 kilograms of iron to Tubo every year.
In this way, although Tubo can purchase iron from the Tang Dynasty, the amount of iron it gets every year is limited and cannot be made into weapons and armor on a large scale for the army.
Zhao Ziliang came out of Huaqing Palace and returned home to Chang'an and immediately wrote a letter to Chen Qingying and Nie Sanniang respectively.
In the letter to Chen Qingying, he said that the emperor fell in love with Zhao Ting and wanted to betroth Princess Yining to Zhao Ting.
Ting, but I don’t know about this yet.
Whether it can be done, in short, since Zhao Ting's marriage is almost in sight, and as the eldest, Zhao Lei's marriage should be put on the agenda immediately.
We can't let the younger brother get married before the older brother.
So he told Chen Qingying in the letter , let Zhao Lei quickly find a woman he likes.
Don't pay attention to the woman's identity, as long as Zhao Lei likes it.
If Zhao Lei can't find it, let her, a mother, find one for her son.
The first choice is Beiting.
If he couldn't find the daughter of an official general's family, he would look for him in Chang'an.
After all, Chang'an was the seat of the imperial court, and there were many famous and scholarly families.
It was easy to find a girl who was well-educated and of the right age. of Zhao Ziliang's letter to Nie Sanniang mentioned that Zhao Ting was favored by the emperor and wanted to marry the princess to her son.
Although this matter has not been revealed yet, he still asked her to be mentally prepared to avoid doing it in the future.
