Yang Shuang was observing the situation in the hall, but he suddenly heard a tribute behind him: "Your Highness, you are polite!"

The voice was cheerful and straightforward. Yang Shuang looked at it and found a young man standing behind her.

I saw him wearing a light blue long gown, buckled deerskin boots, a ring-hanging pants, and a hairband crown. He was not young, but his appearance was handsome.

"So it's your boy." Yang Shuang immediately smiled.

The person who came was also an acquaintance, Qin Xianyu's younger brother, Qin Xianzhi.

The two met naturally as well as the poetry party held by Princess Huilan. He had a deep relationship with Qin Xianyu, so he naturally knew his sister’s thoughts, so he intended to make friends with Yang Shuang to see Yang Shuang’s character.

Qin Xianzhi has the kind of straightforward temperament. After communicating with Yang Shuang before, he became friends.

Qin Xianzong replied: "I just returned to Beijing a few days ago. When I came back, I heard that you were deposed as the crown prince. I was so scared that I ate three bowls of rice in a row. I originally wanted to go see you, but my sister stopped me. She said that you are good at peace and not move now, so I didn't go to visit you."

"Your sister is right. If you go to see me, Kyoto will be known. I have run away for so long? Where have you been?" Yang Shuang asked curiously.

Qin Xianzong sighed and said, "You must have heard that when my father was a child, his family was famine and his whole family fled. At that time, the war was in chaos, which led to the separation of my father and his brother. Over the years, my father never gave up looking for my uncle. I heard the news some time ago and met people from the same village. According to that person, my uncle crossed the Yellow River with the refugees and went to the Tang Dynasty. So this time I went out, I went to the Tang Dynasty to see if I could find my uncle, but unfortunately there was no clue."

Yang Shuang comforted: "Your uncle is a lucky person, so don't worry too much!"

"See Your Highness's auspicious words!" Qin Xianzhi said with a smile.

The two found a place to sit down and chat.

"What are some interesting experiences about this trip to the Tang Dynasty? What is the appearance of the Tang Dynasty?" Yang Shuang was very curious.

Qin Xianzhi sighed: "It is said that the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is booming. I didn't believe it at first, but this time, I found that the rumors were true. The various policies of the Tang Dynasty court were for the people, lightening taxes and reducing taxes, promoting the economy, and the people were united, and the government and the country worked together. The entire Tang Dynasty exuded a kind of vitality."

Yang Shuang nodded and sighed: "I want to go and see what you said. By the way, what is the relationship between Li Jiancheng, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin, the King of Qin?"

Qin Xianzhi immediately smiled and replied, "What does your highness think about the relationship? Although Li Jiancheng is the prince and is in charge of the Eastern Palace, his strategy is inferior to Li Shimin, in addition to the Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Yuan's permission to open the mansion and join the three departments, giving him the military power of the Xuanwu Army, which made Li Shimin even more powerful and could compete with Li Jiancheng in the court. Although there is the meaning of the Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Yuan's balance, with Li Shimin's continuous rise, the balance has become tilted."

Li Shimin's ability cannot be underestimated. The change in Xuanwu Sect in his previous life was a bloody truth. Could it be repeated in this life?

However, for Yang Shuang, Li Shimin's rise to power is not a good thing.

Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's Zhenguan rule was a prosperous era, and his economy and military continued to become stronger, which was definitely a challenge for the Sui Dynasty, so it was better to let Li Jiancheng be the crown prince.

"By the way, Your Highness, I heard a message when I was in the Tang Dynasty." Qin Xianzhi suddenly remembered something.

Yang Shuang came back to her senses and asked, "What's the matter?"

Qin Xianzhi replied: "I heard that the Tang Dynasty intends to form an alliance with the Sui Dynasty."

"Assembly?" Yang Shuang was slightly surprised.

North of the Yangtze River, the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty divided the world into two parts.

On the northern continent, the Yellow River stretches into the shape of a "Ji", and the decomposition line between the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty is divided by the Yellow River.

To the east of Chang'an, the direction of the Yellow River began to transform from north to south to flow eastward. Therefore, from the turning point, that is, the location of Puzhou, it became the dividing line between the two countries.

To the west is the Tang Dynasty, to the east is the Sui Dynasty.

The two countries have natural river channels as the boundary. Although the well water does not violate the river water, there are grudges after all. It is rare to reduce the war and recuperate with each other in recent years. It is difficult to form an alliance.

How long has it been since Yang Shuang been deposed? He has never heard of an alliance before. It was not that His Majesty Yang Jian intended to hide it from Yang Shuang, but that even His Majesty did not know about the alliance.

So it is likely that the Tang Dynasty's unilateral idea is the alliance.

Qin Xianzhi smiled and said, "I know that Your Highness is surprised. In fact, even when I first heard this. Moreover, when I first arrived in Chang'an, I heard such news. It is conceivable that the discussion about alliances has been in full swing in Chang'an City. After I asked carefully, I realized that the alliance was a game between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty."

"Your Highness should have received the news that the Eastern Turks began to annex the Western Turks and their scattered tribes, and were about to usher in unification and form a new royal court. Once the Turkish royal court was established, it would inevitably pose a serious threat to the Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty in the south. Every early spring, foreign tribes would go south to plunder. In the past, they were scattered and disorderly, and once they were united, the invasion would inevitably be like a blazing wave."

"Although the Great Sui and the Great Tang Dynasty are two countries, they are both descendants of Yan and Huang, and they should share the same hatred of the enemy when facing foreign tribes. So this matter was exploited by Li Jiancheng. He believed that he should establish an alliance with our Great Sui Dynasty and resist foreign tribes together. And this matter was naturally imposed on Li Shimin. Once the Tang Emperor Li Yuan agreed, then the letter of state and envoys of the Tang Dynasty should come."

"Your Highness, do you think if the Tang Dynasty came to envoy, His Majesty would agree to an alliance between the two countries?"

After hearing Qin Xianzhi's inquiry, Yang Shuang thought carefully and said: "If the Tang Dynasty really sent envoys, Your Majesty should consider forming an alliance. Establishing a royal court was a major event, and it was a difficult matter for the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. If it was combined, it would benefit both parties and naturally agree. However, it would not be easy for the two countries to form a complete alliance. It would not only cause foreigners such as the Turks and the Khitan to panic, but also include the Wei and Shu countries in the south."

"At that time, Wei and Shu are likely to be restless and want to cross the river to make trouble."

"So although alliances are a good thing, they can affect the whole body and need to be planned carefully."

Yang Shuang truthfully revealed her considerations.

Qin Xianzong agreed: "Your Highness is very much. Actually, I still agree with the alliance. As the descendants of Yan and Huang, what is the point of fighting? Eliminating foreign races is an invincible achievement. Unfortunately, my mother didn't let me go to the border, ah..."

Mingguang Hou only has Qin Xianzhi one son. If he goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy, the Qin family will be defeated.

"I've heard that as long as you marry and have children and continue the bloodline of the Qin family, your mother will not stop you. You are too old, do you have someone you like?" Yang Shuang asked curiously.

Qin Xianzhi blushed rarely and nodded.

Yang Shuang was even more shocked and asked, "Who is it? Tell me quickly."

Qin Xianling sighed and said, "I have feelings, but no one wants to do it, and even people don't know me. He is not from our Sui Dynasty, but the princess of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiuning. Your Highness, you have never seen her. After seeing her, I think other women in the world cannot be compared with her. She is a unique existence."
