When did Princess Wencheng marry Songzan Gambu for the sake of national stability?

Princess Wencheng married Songzan Gambu in the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Taizong.

In the eighth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (634), Songzan Gambu sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong sent pedestrians Feng Dexia to Tibet. Songzan Gambu learned that both Turks and Tuguhun had married the princess of the Tang Dynasty, so he sent people to the Tang Dynasty again and proposed to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, which was rejected by Emperor Taizong.

King Tuyuhun entered the Tang Dynasty, and the Tibetan envoy told Songzan Gambu when he came back, claiming that the Tang Dynasty refused to get engaged because King Tuyuhun was in the way. In 638, Songzan Gambu used Tuguhun as an excuse to get in the way, sent troops to defeat Tuguhun, Tangut and Bai Lanqiang, and pushed Songzhou (now Songpan, Sichuan) in the Tang Dynasty, threatening to lead a large-scale invasion of the Tang Dynasty if he didn't kiss.

Niu Jin led the Tang Jun vanguard to defeat the Tubo army, and Songzan Gambu was afraid. Before the arrival of Tang Jun's main force, Songzan Gambu withdrew from Tuyuhun, Tangut and Blanchard, sent a letter of apology and invited her to get married again. He boasted that Xue Ludong had brought 5,200 gold and the same amount of other treasures as a formal betrothal gift.

On the 15th day of the first month in the 15th year of Zhenguan (64 1), Emperor Taizong named Li Princess Wencheng, married Princess Wencheng, praised her and ordered Wang Daozong of Jiangxia to hold a memorial ceremony. Although Princess Wencheng and Princess Jincheng are imperial daughters, not the emperor's own daughters, they have a high status in Tubo. The Tibetan Mkas-pavi-dgav-ston records the celebration of Songtsan Gambu's accession to the throne, crowning Princess Wencheng and making her queen.
