Chang 'an.
Dew Palace.
Li Er and Zhangsun Wuji were in the middle of a meeting.
"Wuji, counting the days, those two children should be back from the Langya Wang family by now, right?”
Li Lizhi thought that she had secretly left the palace.
In fact, how could her little tricks really fool Li Er?
Li Er did not stop Li Lizhi because he wanted to use her to test the Langya Wang family.
It was easy to conquer the country, but difficult to sit on it.
In this era, if the Li Consortium wanted to stabilize their empire, they had to obtain the recognition and support of the aristocratic families of the world.
The Langya Wang family, which was known as the most prestigious family in China and the number one aristocratic family in the world, was undoubtedly the most important.
After all, not only was the Langya Wang family powerful, but they also had the ability to summon hundreds of people in the aristocratic families.
Therefore, when Li Er was still the King of Qin, he went to the Wang family of Langya to ask for a marriage agreement for his daughter.
The other party was the most outstanding child of the Langya Wang family's Yang generation, Wang Yangping.
Li Er thought that this was the most successful deal he had ever made in his life.
But the weather was unpredictable.
Not long after Wang Yangping and Li Lizhi got engaged, Wang Yangping suddenly " fell ill ".
From then on, he was unable to recover. The once proud son of heaven had now disappeared into the masses.
Furthermore, he had a sickly body.
Poor parents all over the world.
Honestly speaking, Li Er did not want his daughter to marry such a person.
However, he was not only a father, but also an emperor.
As an emperor, he had his own considerations.
The Langya Wang Clan had a significant influence on the stability of the new regime of the Great Tang.
Therefore, it was impossible for Li Er to break off the engagement with the Wang family of Langya.
However, when Li Lizhi secretly left Chang 'an and went to the Wang family of Langya to cancel the engagement, Li Er pretended not to know.
Li Lizhi's actions were indeed a little reckless.
However, Li Er also wanted to take this opportunity to test the Langya Wang family and the reaction of the aristocratic families in the world.
Li Er was very displeased with those aristocratic families.
However, the aristocratic families had been around for thousands of years and had deep roots. They were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the world today.
Although Li Er was the emperor, he couldn't do anything to them for a while.
The only way was to break the monopoly of the aristocratic families on talents through the imperial examination and slowly weaken the status and influence of these aristocratic families.
This was destined to be a long-term process, not something that could be accomplished overnight.
Hearing Li Er's question, Zhangsun Wuji quickly replied.
"Your Majesty, according to the scouts, Princess Changle is expected to return to the Great Mercy Temple tomorrow morning and should be back in the palace in the afternoon.”
Li Er asked about " two children ", which naturally included Zhangsun Wuji's son, Zhangsun Chong.
But when Zhangsun Wuji answered, he deliberately only mentioned Princess Changle to highlight the princess's high status and his dedication to the subject.
This was Zhangsun Wuji's ability, always flattering without leaving a trace.
"Langya Wang Clan, what brilliant methods.”
Li Er sighed again.
Thousands of miles away, the secret agents had already reported everything that had happened in the Langya Wang family.
Wang Yangping of the Langya Wang family divorced Princess Changle first.
After that, Wang Guangwei kicked Wang Yangping out of the Wang Family, pushing all responsibility away.
As expected of a thousand-year-old family.
Old fox!
Princess Chang Le's probing not only failed, but also caused a lot of trouble.
Zhangsun Wuji smiled.
"No matter how powerful the Langya Wang family is, they can't escape from Your Majesty.”
Li Er laughed.
"Wang Yangping, who was chased out by the Wang Clan, is also heading to Chang 'an, right?”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
A cunning glint flashed in Li Er's eyes.
"Get someone to watch him carefully. Don't let anything happen to him.”
Li Er paused, his tone seemed to have a deeper meaning.
"He is the Prince Consort that Zhen has set his eyes on, the fiancé of Princess Chang Le. Nothing must go wrong.”
All along, it was rumored that Wang Yangping had contracted a strange illness at the age of eight and was bedridden all day.
But this time, Princess Changle came to break off the engagement and Wang Yangping stepped forward, which made Li Er look at him in a different light.
Moreover, according to the information sent back by the secret agents, Wang Yangping's body was also quite healthy, and was not the sickly and sickly person that was rumored.
Although he had been kicked out of the Langya Wang family, he was still in a daze.
However, in Li Er's eyes, Wang Yangping's value was even greater.
No matter what, Wang Yangping was a descendant of the Langya Wang family.
Wang Guang Wei could expel him from the Wang Family, but he couldn't change Wang Yangping's bloodline.
If it was possible, Li Er was willing to give it a try and let Wang Yangping, who had been chased out by the Wang Family, establish another Wang Family.
In this way, Li Er could take the opportunity to greatly weaken the power of the Wang family in Langya and attack the aristocratic families in the world without shaking the foundation of the Tang Empire.
Zhangsun Wuji was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Li Er to want Princess Chang Le to marry Wang Yangping.
This made him feel a little unhappy.
Zhangsun Wuji knew that Zhangsun Chong liked Princess Chang Le.
He also hoped that Zhangsun Chong could marry Princess Changle.
In this way, he and Li Er were even closer.
He thought that after Princess Changle was divorced by Wang Yangping, Zhangsun Chong would be safe.
Unexpectedly, Li Er still did not change his mind.
"Your Majesty, Wang Yangping wrote a divorce letter for the princess.”
Zhangsun Wuji carefully reminded.
The princess was divorced and the royal family was humiliated.
When Li Er heard this, a sharp light flashed across his eyes.
"Does he just divorce her?"
"Zhen's daughter, the Great Tang's Princess Chang Le, is also someone that Wang Yangping can divorce?”
"Wang Yangping wants to be the prince consort.
"Even if I don't want to, I have to!"
