Chapter 45

Pride that he could possess a rare, young, heroic ruler!

Tibet—no, Great Qin—under the leadership of His Majesty, will surely unify the four seas.

A mere Great Tang, His Majesty will surely take it into his pocket sooner or later!

"Hahaha, everyone, taking advantage of this occasion of universal celebration, I will announce two more pieces of good news."

After Li Chengqian finished toasting, Li Er smiled again with a flushed face.

"May I ask the Great Tang Emperor, what is the good news?"

One of the Western Region envoys asked curiously.

Everyone nodded one after another, listening carefully.

"The first piece of good news is for you countries of the Western Regions."

"I have already issued a decree: Princess Wencheng, Li Xueyan, will be the alliance princess, and I will bestow her in marriage to one of your countries!"

Li Er explained further.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall was in an uproar.

"The Great Tang Emperor is truly generous and magnanimous; this is truly great!"

"This diplomatic mission to the Great Tang truly lived up to the task! If I can win this marriage for my monarch, wouldn't that be a great merit?"

"Princess must belong to our Gao Chang Kingdom!"

"Hehehe, thinking too beautifully; our Yuezhi Kingdom is not to be trifled with either!"

"It must belong to us!"

The noise from the envoys of the various countries grew louder and louder; everyone was arguing until their faces were red and their necks were thick, wishing they could fight on the spot.

"Your Majesty, there is only one princess. May I ask how Your Majesty intends to bestow the princess?"

Gar Tongtsen, who had been silent, stood out from the crowd and asked a key question.

After he raised this question, the envoys finally quieted down.

"Well asked. Since I promised to bestow her, I must naturally be fair and just."

"I have already thought of three difficult problems for you, and I will give you one day. Whichever country's envoy can answer these three problems most perfectly, that country will marry the princess."

Saying this, Li Er had his attendants distribute the problems to all the envoys present.

The envoys carefully collected the problems, planning to think of every possible way to solve the riddles after returning.

"May I ask Your Majesty, what is the second piece of good news?"

After the envoys finished collecting the problems, Zhangsun Wuji asked loudly.

There was a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes, as if he had already known this good news.
