Tang, Zhenguan first year, Chang 'an City.
Taiji Palace, the Hall of Political Affairs.
"Your Majesty, how can you betroth my royal daughter to someone else like this?”
Empress Zhangsun Wugou's pretty face was ashen, and her phoenix eyes were filled with anger.
The faces of the servant girls and eunuchs serving on both sides of the Political Hall turned pale.
Usually, the Empress was gentle and wise, but now, the Empress was enraged and her authority was on full display.
They hurriedly knelt on the ground and trembled.
......
Today, when the Emperor of the Great Tang, Li Shimin, came down from the court, Zhangsun Wugou had already ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare food and welcome him with a smile.
Who would have thought that Li Er would mention the marriage of the princesses around him? This made Zhangsun Wugou curious. After repeated questioning, he actually learned that Li Shimin had already made the decision to marry the princesses around him, which was why Empress Zhangsun was so furious.
The Tang Emperor Li Shimin scratched his head awkwardly, as if he had already expected Zhangsun Wugou's reaction. He sighed and began to explain,"Guanyin maid, don't be angry!"
"When I was still the King of Qin, I once fought with Dou Jiande in Hebei. I was defeated and returned. On my way back, I was chased by Dou Jiande's subordinates. At the moment of life and death, I was lucky enough to be saved by a brave warrior surnamed Bai. He hid me in a grass hut in the countryside and escaped from the tiger's mouth.”
" After that, I was grateful for the kindness of the Bai family, so I made a promise and wrote a marriage contract. If I have a daughter in the future, I will marry her to the Langjun of the Bai family."
"Now that Gao Yang and Chang Le have reached the age of marriage, this one can be considered to be preparing for a rainy day.”
"Haha!"
"Ha!"
Zhangsun Wugou's cold voice rang out.
As if he had sensed something, his pupils suddenly constricted, and he shouted as if his hair was standing on end,"Your Majesty, what did you say just now?”
"You, you actually betrothed the daughter of my royal family to a poor family disciple?”
"And a commoner?"
"Your Majesty, you're muddle-headed ~"
The Tang Emperor Li Shi Min's face twitched as he said,"Guanyin maid, how could I not know that the Humble Class is an insurmountable chasm between the aristocratic families of the world? But I was only the King of Qin back then. I only wanted to set an example for my followers and let the Humble Class have lofty aspirations to come and seek refuge. That's why I set this marriage contract with the Bai Family.”
"But who knew that the times would create heroes? I have already become the ruler of the Great Tang.”
Li Shi Min, the Emperor of the Great Tang, said as he held his forehead.
Zhangsun Wugou opened his mouth and said after a while,""Your Majesty, can we change it now?”
Li Shi Min shook his head and said,"It cannot be changed. Now that I am the Emperor of the Great Tang, my words are like an imperial edict and cannot be taken back."
"Moreover, back then, Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Zhijie, these two great generals, were also witnesses. How can I be a person who goes back on his word?”
"Zhen can't let the good generals 'hearts turn cold because of this matter."
When Zhangsun Wugou heard this, his expression flickered. Finally, he sighed, and his eyes turned slightly red."Then what should we do? What should we do?"
Seeing Zhangsun Wugou's sorrow, Li Shiming sighed in his heart.
He, Li Shi Min, was the Emperor of the Tang Empire. Although he had a marriage agreement with the Bai Family, he could break off the engagement with his own face.
But most importantly, he had just ascended the throne, and the Tang court was in chaos. Now he still needed to form alliances and rope in the humble courtiers to work for him, which was why he remembered such a thing from the past.
And with a clap of his hand, he even put it on the agenda.
Therefore, he quickly advised,"Goddess of Mercy, don't worry. I've already sent secret guards to investigate the Bai family. Now, the Bai family has a place in Ying Province."”
"Ahem."
"It is said that Bai Liesheng of the Bai Family is handsome and can even wield a three-foot-long sword. He can be considered a hero.”
"That won't do."
Zhangsun Wugou's phoenix eyes widened as he said hurriedly,""Gao Yang is arrogant and the gentle beauty of Chang Le may not be interested in this Bai family's little Langjun.”
Actually, she had another hidden meaning in her heart: "These two princesses are both in my hands. I can't bear to marry this poor family's little Langjun.”
"Sigh."
Li Er sighed.
At this moment, just as Li Er was fretting endlessly.
A clamor suddenly came from outside the Administrative Hall.
Then,
Li Er's personal eunuch hurried over with a panicked expression. After seeing Li Er and Zhangsun Wugou, he shouted before he could catch his breath,"Your Majesty, Empress, urgent news has come from the border!”
"Your Majesty, Ying Province is lost!"
Li Er's pupils constricted when he heard that. He took the battle report and took a look at it. His expression changed drastically."The Turkic army has come with great momentum and Ying Prefecture has fallen.”
"Peng!"
Li Eryi slammed his palm on the table.
"Quick, order Youzhou Governor Yuchi Jingde to assist Ying Province and take it back for me.”
He looked into the distance and muttered to himself,"Bai Lie, the young master of the Bai family, is he still alive in Ying Province?”
