Li Shimin and Zhangsun Wuji plotted from noon until night.
After the meal in King Qin's Mansion, Zhangsun Wuji said before he left,""There are Shadow Guards in the Heavenly Policy Manor to monitor every move in the capital on behalf of the Heavenly Policy General.
Now we can only plot in the mansion. The King of Qin must not be too hasty and take action early, thus revealing his tracks.
General Tian Ce was extremely brave and regarded all the heroes in the world as nothing. His 80,000 white-robed soldiers swept through Guanzhong and were invincible. He would definitely not hide in the city when he went to Youzhou. He would definitely fight the Turkic army.
The King of Qin can quickly send spies to Youzhou to make arrangements in advance and report every move of the Heavenly Strategy General at any time.
Once he starts a large-scale war with the Turks, it will be the perfect opportunity for us to force him to abdicate.
Other than that, they were not allowed to move at any time.”
Li Shi Min nodded," I understand.”
Zhangsun Wuji then bowed to Li Shimin and left Prince Qin's mansion.
……
On the first day of October, it was an auspicious day to welcome the bride.
The Heavenly Policy Residence was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and it was a joyous occasion.
Today was the wedding day of the Great Tang's Heavenly Strategy General, and there was an endless stream of guests.
Outside the Heavenly Policy Office, there was a heavy traffic. All the officials of the Imperial Court rushed over with gifts.
Troops of white-robed soldiers wearing armor and holding spears stood vigilantly outside the manor.
Due to the fiendish aura of these soldiers, the commoners did not dare to approach. They only stuck their heads out and looked from afar.
At the same time, they clicked their tongues in wonder and discussed animatedly.
"It's too terrifying. Their eyes seem to want to devour someone. I, a seven-foot-tall man, actually don't dare to look them in the eye.”
"This is the Great Tang's most elite white-robed army, and all of them are killing their enemies with ease. The ones in front of them were just ordinary soldiers. If they saw the Dragon Cavalry Guards, they would be scared out of their wits and wet their pants on the spot.”
"The White-robed Army is the best of the Great Tang. Just the ordinary soldiers are enough to give off such an oppressive feeling. Wouldn't the generals in the army be even more powerful and terrifying?”
"Needless to say, Yuchi Gong, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Yaojin, the three generals under the Heavenly Strategy General, are all fiendish and can stop a child from crying. When the enemy saw this, they became timid before they even fought. Many people in Chang 'an had pasted portraits of Yuchi Gong and Qin Qiong at their doors to suppress evil.”
"Tsk tsk, with such fierce soldiers under him, how graceful must General Tian Ce be?”
"General Tian Ce is the number one fierce general in the world. He once killed Yuwen Cheng with three halberds, charged into the formation alone, and beheaded Li Mi of the Wagang Stronghold in the midst of thousands of troops.”
While the people were discussing, the sound of ritual music suddenly came from afar.
Everyone turned their heads and saw a handsome man in a red robe and a nine-tasseled crown riding a tall horse.
Behind him, hundreds of bridal escorts carried a bridal sedan chair towards the Heavenly Policy Manor.
The commoners on both sides of the road cheered and cheered excitedly.
……
In the Heavenly Policy Manor, Li Yuan wore a ceremonial robe and a crown, sitting high in the main seat with a smile.
Li Changqing and Zhangsun Wugou stood side by side.
Zhangsun Wugou wore a phoenix crown and a cape. Her figure was graceful. Even though her face was covered, one could still see her peerless beauty.
The civil and military officials were arranged according to their ranks, from first grade to fifth grade.
Below the fifth grade, outside the hall.
After a series of complicated formalities, it was finally the last step.
Under the witness of all the officials, the Minister of Rites shouted,""Bow to heaven and earth."
Li Changqing held Zhangsun Wugou's hand and turned around to bow to heaven and earth.
"Second bow!"
The two of them turned around and kowtowed to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh like an ordinary farmer.
"Husband and wife bow!"
The two of them stood facing each other and bowed.
At this point, the ceremony was completed!
Li Yuan laughed and said," Today, my six sons are getting married. The whole world is celebrating. We will not return until we are drunk!"”
The banquet began, and the monarch and his subjects were happy.
Only Li Shi Min and Li Xiu Ning were absent-minded, their faces filled with sorrow.
……
At night, the ministers dispersed.
Li Changqing and Zhangsun Wugou sat in the bridal chamber.
The two of them were at a loss and sat silently for a long time.
In the end, Zhangsun Wugou said gently,""Husband, please remove my veil.”
Hearing this, Li Changqing suddenly came back to his senses.
He had been absent-minded just now and had been thinking about Li Xiu Ning, but he had neglected the woman in front of him who had already become his wife.
He picked up the wedding scale from the table and slowly lifted Zhangsun Wugou's head.
A timid face appeared in front of him.
It was said that women were especially beautiful when they were newly married.
Zhangsun Wugou, who was wearing a phoenix coronet and a cape, stunned Li Changqing.
His face was like a silver plate, his eyes like water apricot, his cheeks like new litchi, and his nose like goose fat.
Her eyes were shy as she sat there quietly, giving off an orchid aura.
She was really afraid of the rain and shy of the clouds, her actions were so charming.
Li Changqing's originally calm heart started to beat faster uncontrollably.
Zhangsun Wugou lowered his head and mustered up his courage to look at Li Changqing."Husband, it's time to drink the cross-cupped wine."
On the table were two cups of rice wine.
The two of them toasted each other. They could clearly feel each other's breathing and see the pores on each other's faces.
After drinking the wine, both of their faces were slightly red.
He didn't know if it was the wine or the person who was intoxicating.
After finishing the cross-goblet wine, there was still the final ceremony to close the temples.
This time, even without Zhangsun Wugou's reminder, Li Changqing already understood his responsibility as a man.
Since he had married Zhangsun Wugou, even if he didn't love her, he had to treat her with respect.
As for Li Xiu Ning, after pacifying the Turks and wiping out the Tubo, she had fulfilled her life's ambition. She had disregarded all worldly ethics and wanted to be with her.
And before that, he could not be cursed and ridiculed by the world, damaging his reputation.
He urgently needed a world-shaking technique as armor to block all words for himself and Li Xiu Ning.
He looked at a round plate on the table. There was a pair of scissors on the round plate.
Under the scissors was a piece of red paper. On the red paper were the words: Silk knot dragon and phoenix, carved color knot clouds, an inch of the same thread, a hundred years of longevity flowers.
It meant that when they were newlyweds, the husband and wife had to cut off a lock of each other's hair and then tie the two locks of hair together to swear that they were of the same heart and that they would be together in life and death.
After the two of them cut off a lock of each other's hair, Zhangsun Wugou tied it up and carefully put it into a red box.
After the ceremony was completed, the two of them became husband and wife.
After that, Li Changqing married other women, but they were not considered husband and wife.
