"Li Shi Min!"
"You're creating an opportunity for Chai Shao!”
Hearing this, Li Jiancheng's heart flashed with a fierce look.
In the current court.
The battle for the throne was starting to take shape.
As the eldest son and the crown prince, Li Jiancheng had been helping the gradually aging Li Yuan handle state affairs. It was only natural that he had a good relationship with the officials in the court.
And the military affairs, mostly by Li Shimin control.
For example, when the Great Tang had destroyed Xue Ju before it was established, the generals and soldiers of the Great Tang army had mostly relied on Li Shimin, and he had won the hearts of the soldiers.
This!
Li Jiancheng was filled with a sense of crisis.
Obviously.
Li Shimin had proposed to let Li Xiu Ning and Chai Shao go on an diplomatic mission together in order to matchmake the two of them. After all, Li Xiu Ning's military merits were enough to be on par with Chai Shao.
This Chai Shao was born in the Chai family and was extremely wealthy.
In the present day.
To conquer the world, to be an emperor, to fight wars, all of these required a large amount of money and food.
The Chai family had provided the majority of the money for the Li family to be able to raise an army from Taiyuan, invade Chang 'an, and establish the Great Tang.
Thus, Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor and made Chai Shao the Great General of the Left Yi Guards.
This Chai Shao was on good terms with Li Shiming, and he also liked Li Xiu Ning. This was not a secret in the court. If it wasn't for Li Xiu Ning's many military achievements,
At the thought of this.
Li Jiancheng wanted to stop him, but Li Yuan, who was sitting on the dragon throne, laughed loudly.
"Good!"
"Alright!"
"Shi Min's suggestion is not bad. With Xiu Ning and Chai Shao's identity, status, and ability, they are more than enough to take on this important task!”
To Li Yuan.
Right now, the world had yet to be pacified, and there would be a great war in the future.
Therefore, he had no choice.
As the Emperor of the Great Tang, Li Yuan naturally wanted to become Chai Shao's family. In this way, the Great Tang would be able to obtain countless amounts of money and grain.
However, Li Xiu Ning didn't nod.
With her reputation in the Great Tang and her prestige in the army, Li Yuan couldn't force her to give the edict. This was an opportunity to improve their relationship.
"Eh!"
Hearing this.
The words that Li Jiancheng was about to say were forced back.
At this moment.
Fearing that Li Xiu Ning would refuse, Li Yuan immediately issued an imperial edict,"
"Xiu Ning, Chai Shao."
"Then I'll leave the missions of Li Mi, Yang Dong, Wang Shichong, and Xiao Xi to you. Don't disappoint Us.”
After Li Yuan's words.
Immediately, Chai Shao stood up and said happily,
"Yes, I understand!"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will definitely assist Princess Ping Yang and not disappoint Your Majesty!”
At this point.
Chai Shao stole a glance at Li Xiu Ning, who was dressed in armor, valiant, noble, and extraordinary. His eyes flashed with deep admiration.
To countless men.
If they could marry the valiant and valiant Li Xiu Ning, who had outstanding military achievements, it was something they dreamed of, and Chai Shao was no exception.
Especially!
This Li Xiu Ning was Princess Ping Yang!
If he married her, the Chai clan's position in the court and the Great Tang would be further strengthened.
At this moment.
Hearing Li Yuan's order, Li Xiu Ning did not object. She said indifferently,
"Xiu Ning, as you wish."
After saying that.
Li Xiu Ning glanced at Li Shi Min, who had suggested that she and Chai Shao go to the south together. She felt an inexplicable disgust for this younger brother who had once fought side by side with her.
With Li Xiu Ning's intelligence, how could she not understand Li Shi Min's plan?
However!
She hated being used!
She hated being used as a tool for marriage!
But her second brother, for some purpose, actually wanted to get her and Chai Shao together.
....
"Success!"
Seeing this, Li Shi Min was overjoyed.
As long as Chai Shao could marry his third sister, Li Xiu Ning, then the Tang army would be under his influence.
With the army in hand, he could completely turn the tables!
Hence, he decided to do it.
In a good mood, Li Shiming told Li Yuan his second step,"
"Reporting to Imperial Father."
"This son's second step is to destroy Li Gui of Liangzhou.”
"After we destroyed Xue Ju, the Great Tang was left with only Li Gui in the rear. As a result, the Great Tang still had to divide its forces in two areas and was unable to send its full force to the Central Plains.”
"Thus, in order to have a stable rear, we must eliminate Li Gui!”
On the dragon throne, Li Yuan nodded."
"Not bad."
"This Li Gui must be destroyed. When I ascended the throne and proclaimed myself emperor, I even sent people to recruit him and promised him a high position and a generous salary.”
"Not only that, he even dared to ascend the throne and call himself the Emperor of Great Liang, he is truly hateful!”
At this point.
Li Yuan frowned."
"But Li Gui has more than 100,000 troops. In addition, Wuwei is far away, and there are many mountains in the middle. If we fight, it will be difficult to supply the army alone.”
How can others sleep beside the couch?
However, if Li Gui defended the Great Tang, the Great Tang would be stuck in a long-term battle with Liangzhou, which would drag down the strength of the Great Tang.
To Li Yuan, it was not worth it.
"I am willing to go to Liangzhou alone to pacify Li Gui for Your Majesty.”
