The leaves rustled outside the window, and the light and shadow were mottled on the letter.


    Li Hui slowly put the letter he had just written into the envelope and sealed the wax.


    The old housekeeper next to him took the envelope, clubbed in place and asked carefully.


    "Little prince, what''s the status of the barbarians? Don''t we surrender our status when we hand over a war letter to such lowly people as them?"


    Li Hui walked slowly to the window. Through the window, he looked at the fallen leaves in the yard and said.


    "It doesn''t matter. It''s about the marriage of Princess Changle. This grievance is nothing. I just hope your majesty can understand my hardship and don''t reduce my crime of not knowing etiquette."


    After that, Li Hui''s handsome face showed a sneer.


    "It''s fun to humiliate these barbarian thieves in front of all the people in Chang''an."


    The old housekeeper said with a smile.


    "Little prince, your victory this time has won a sigh of relief for Datang. It''s more eye-catching than winning the first prize at the poetry fair."


    The chill on Li Hui''s face gradually dissipated. Instead, his face was warm. When he turned around again, he was already full of spring breeze.


    Since Tang Hao won the first place at the last poetry meeting, Li Hui has not been much interested in the poetry meeting.


    However, this poetry meeting for Tubo has rekindled new hope for him.


    As the old housekeeper said, if you defeat the Tibetans, you will not only win a face for Datang, but also be proud.


    Thinking of this, Li Hui''s long silent heart was a little excited.


    "Well, go and be busy. Send the letter to the Yamen as soon as possible and send more people to build a platform. Don''t delay."


    The old housekeeper answered and hurried out.


    Not long ago, a large number of domestic servants poured out of the princess''s house.


    On several carriages, holding colored flags, big drums and tables, they drove slowly towards Zhuque street.


    "The civil and military war has begun."


    Neat shouts came all the way from the prince''s house.


    When many people heard of this event, the whole street burst open in an instant.


    Those who rush to tell the news and join in the fun follow the motorcade one after another and rush towards Zhuque street.


    Half a month later, the long silent Chang''an city was stirred up by this novelty.


    On Zhuque street, the servants of the prefectural palace carried down a pile of materials, and all the people talked about it one after another.


    "Do the Tubo barbarians still know some poems and want to compete with Childe Li without shame?"


    "I heard that the Tubo barbarians wanted to marry Princess Changle. It''s also good for childe Li to beat them at the poetry meeting."


    "That''s right! I also heard that Tubo was embarrassed by the Northern Territory. It''s really shameful."


    ……


    King Tang''s bedroom.


    In the incense burner, the incense rose and drifted away slowly. Several stacks of memorials were placed on the table.


    The king of the Tang Dynasty slowly folded, rubbed his forehead and leaned slowly against the soft collapse.


    The eldest sun empress next to her took a fur cloak, slowly wrapped her neck around the king of Tang and said softly.


    "Your Majesty has been watching for several hours. Take a break."


    The slightly tired king of Tang, holding his head, slowly closed his eyes and sighed.


    "These ministers really don''t let me worry."


    Empress Chang sun got up and slowly stood behind the king of Tang. She kneaded the king''s shoulder blades with her bare hands and said.


    "Alas! Your majesty doesn''t have to care. Now the war in the north is stuck, and these ministers are just worried about the safety of Datang."


    After a slight pause, empress Chang sun looked at the neatly combed bun and said.


    "In case of erosion in the north, in this way, Tubo will succeed."


    After listening, the king of Tang pondered for a moment and said.


    "Really, when was the Tang Dynasty coerced? If it hadn''t been for the Tubo''s work in recent years, I would have had the Tubo envoy beheaded and displayed in public."


    "I can''t sell women for glory! Datang can''t do it!"


    "Your majesty!"


    A cry came from far and near outside the temple.


    The king of the Tang Dynasty slowly opened his eyes, and father-in-law Rong hurried into the hall and bowed his hands respectfully.


    "Li Hui, the prince''s son, has set up a challenge arena in Zhuque street, saying he wants to compete with the Tubo prince in literature and martial arts."


    Hearing the speech, the king of Tang frowned slightly and shouted.


    "Nonsense! Let''s have a private competition. How can there be such a competition?"


    "Tubo has come all the way. The Tang Dynasty is a land of etiquette. Isn''t it humiliating to compete like this?"


    "Find me that bastard!"


    Father-in-law Rong stepped forward two steps, came to the Dragon seat and whispered.


    "The old slave heard that the next afternoon was agreed by the Tubo prince. It must have been settled between the two."


    Empress changsun''s heart flashed a suspicious color and said.


    "Why did Li Hui suddenly find the Tubo prince?"


    Father Rong smiled mysteriously and said.


    "Childe Changle is the posture of heaven and man. He admires the country and the city. Why is it strange that some dignitaries in Chang''an admire him?"


    Tang Wang''s originally sullen face gradually calmed down and said in a deep voice.


    "I''ve heard that Tubo has produced two immortal materials. One is Songzanganbu, which has considerable means to unify the divided Qinghai Tibet Plateau."


    "The second is Lu Anzan, who is good at national politics. He has made a lot of efforts under Songzan Ganbu."


    "I didn''t expect that the adopted son of Songzan Ganbu had the courage to fight."


    Grandpa Rong smiled.


    "Your Majesty, since Songzan Ganbu of Tubo can make this person of status become an adopted son, he must have some ability."


    "But childe Li is the first talent in the Tang Dynasty. I think he can win the competition without suspense."


    The king of Tang touched his chin and said with a faint smile.


    "It''s very good to let the talents of the Tang Dynasty and the talents of Tubo meet and compete for victory."


    Father-in-law Rong bowed slightly and reminded him.


    "Your Majesty, if childe Li wins this time, it''s better for your majesty to completely break the thoughts of those Tubo people."


    The king of Tang thought for a moment, smiled, nodded slightly and said.


    "It''s a way not to hurt harmony."


    "Send orders and let Jin Wuwei go to maintain order and ensure the safety of the competition."
