Chapter 818 Princess Wencheng Enters Tibet
In the barrage, those dynasties that had never experienced marriage alliances began to mock, saying that their dynasties had no princesses who were married to foreign countries.
This made other dynasties very dissatisfied. What's the big deal? They would never have a marriage alliance again in the future!

"In 641 AD, Emperor Taizong of Tang married Princess Wencheng to Songtsen Gampo and ordered King Jiangxia Li Daojiang to escort her.
Starting from Chang'an, Princess Wencheng, you embarked on a journey to marry far away, a journey where you didn't know what the outcome would be.
Princess Wencheng and her entourage passed through Xining, crossed the Sun and Moon Mountains, and after a long journey, finally arrived at their destination, Lhasa.
There is also a record in the Tibetan book "The Feast of the Sages": Songtsen Gampo ascended the throne of celebration, crowned Princess Wencheng and made her queen.
By marrying Princess Wencheng, Songtsen Gampo has gotten a great deal, and he is so happy," Li Wu stared at Princess Wencheng. After all, Princess Wencheng was a member of the royal family, so she was naturally brought up in pampered conditions.
Going to marry a princess would naturally mean suffering. During the Tang Dynasty, many small countries wanted to apply to join the Tang Dynasty and were proud to be part of it.
Moreover, Princess Wencheng was so beautiful. Alas, the princesses who were married off to other countries suffered so much.
When Princess Wencheng heard what the immortal said, she couldn't help laughing. The immortal said that this was too funny. After all, Songtsen Gampo was the king of Tubo. Although she was not very happy about marrying him, she had no choice.
Fortunately, after the marriage, she did not suffer much grievance. It was just that in the beginning, she had some problems with the climate and environment, but these hardships could be overcome.
The purpose of a marriage alliance is to promote friendship between the two countries, so it must be done well.
"You are right, little immortal," Princess Wencheng agreed. Songtsen Gampo really got a great deal by marrying him.
Nowadays, as for marriage alliance, no small country dares to propose these things to the Tang Dynasty. If they dared, the Tang Dynasty would have attacked them long ago.
Their Tang Dynasty now is no longer the same as before!
Although the Tang Dynasty was also very powerful and prosperous, it is completely incomparable to today.
Emperor Taizong of Tang in front of the sky curtain also nodded with satisfaction. That was exactly the case. He married the princess to Tubo, and Tubo got a great advantage.
The ancestors in the barrage were discussing this matter. For them, being able to marry the princess to those foreigners was not something that could only be achieved with great success.

"Princess Wencheng, you are also very capable. Not only did you help Songtsen Gampo in governing the country, but you also brought a huge and generous dowry.
After all, it's a marriage of peace, and you were given the title of princess, so the dowry is naturally very large.
There were statues of Sakyamuni Buddha, treasures, gold and jade bookcases, 360 volumes of Buddhist scriptures, various gold and jade ornaments, a lot of culinary foods, brocade mattresses with various patterns, and 300 kinds of divination scriptures to distinguish between good and evil.
60 works on construction and engineering technology, 404 prescriptions for 100 diseases, 4 medical treatises, 5 diagnostic methods, 6 medical devices, and turnip seeds were also brought into Tibet. Wow, Tang Taizong was really generous," Li Wu shook her head and clicked her tongue a few times, which made her envious. He was really generous.
Princess Jieyou and Princess Rongxian looked at Princess Wencheng with sparkling eyes after listening to this. Although their dowries were naturally large, especially Princess Rongxian, she was Kangxi's most beloved daughter, so needless to say her dowry was naturally very large.
But if you don’t have something, you will definitely envy others for having it.
In the barrage, many ancestors praised Emperor Taizong of Tang for giving good things to others for free.
However, some people also think that since the marriage has been planned to be resolved, then one should not be too stingy and let others look down on him.
In short, our ancestors have their own opinions, but most emperors would not be stingy if they married a princess.

"Wow, Emperor Taizong of Tang is so generous," Princess Rongxian said as she looked at Princess Wencheng. Among all the princesses who were married off to foreign countries, the one she had heard the most was Princess Wencheng.
She had never thought that she would become a princess who was married to a foreign country. After all, her father loved her so much at that time. She thought her father would be reluctant to let her marry. Unexpectedly, in the end, she could not escape the fate of marrying to a foreign country.
Princess Wencheng smiled gently and said that this was not so bad.
Because I brought a lot of things with me, I didn't dare to look down on her. Although she was far away, I didn't dare to bully her.
Moreover, Tubo was defeated by the Tang Dynasty at that time, and Songtsen Gampo also knew the strength of the Tang Dynasty. If a war really broke out, Tubo would not suffer. She brought so many good things with her when she married, so naturally no one dared to offend her easily.
That's what it feels like to have a strong backer.
Princess Jieyou looked at Princess Wencheng with some envy.
It’s not that the Han Dynasty doesn’t care about her, it’s just inevitable that the princess who married into the Han Dynasty would suffer some grievances.
There is no marriage that does not involve feeling wronged. Even in modern times, there are still many people who feel wronged.
Li Wu couldn't help but feel scared again. No matter whether she married far away or near, she would be wronged. If she had the support of her natal family, it would be fine. But if she didn't, it would be miserable. Of course, the biggest one had to stand up for herself so that others would not dare to bully her!
Li Wu shook her head. She was overthinking it. These things would never happen to her.
“And Princess Wencheng, you are a great believer in Buddhism. During the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism was prevalent and many people believed in it.
So Princess Wencheng, you brought Chinese Buddhism to Tubo.
The golden life-size statue of Sakyamuni Buddha that you brought from Chang'an became a sacred object worshipped by the Tibetan people.
Princess Wencheng's marriage to Songtsen Gampo ushered in a new era of friendly relations between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.
From then on, envoys and merchants frequently traveled between the Central Plains and Tubo, and the relationship between the two sides was extremely friendly.
Songtsen Gampo himself took off his Tibetan clothes and wore silk instead, and sent the children of Tibetan nobles to Chang'an to study.
Princess Wencheng, you brought prosperity and peace to the Tibetans. You also promoted cultural exchanges between Han and Tibetans, and the Tibetan people benefited greatly.
They also affectionately called Princess Wencheng "Jiamusa", which means "female fairy" in Tibetan.
Princess Wencheng, you are actually called a goddess fairy, not bad, not bad, a goddess fairy, it suits you very well," Li Wu joked. Princess Wencheng's face suddenly turned red, but she was also very happy. Being liked by many people is naturally a happy thing.
"Goddess, we have a little fairy here, and also a goddess. I have entered the fairy's nest," Princess Rongxian said with a smile. She took Princess Wencheng's hand and put her head on it, looking very intimate.
"That's right," Princess Jieyou also smiled and looked at Princess Rongxian. Princess Rongxian was quirky and she liked girls with this kind of personality very much, they were lively and lovely.
Princess Wencheng was being leaned against so intimately that she just looked at Princess Rongxian and laughed. Princess Rongxian was very cute and she liked her very much.
"Yes, Princess Rongxian, you have finally arrived in the fairyland," Li Wu said with a smile, picking up some food for the three of them, "Eat more."
