Li Shi Min was undoubtedly a wise ruler. Kong Yan had not been mocking him when he had described him as a man of great talent and bold vision.
A great man once said: Since ancient times, there has been no one better than Li Shimin, followed by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Li Shiming had contributed greatly to the establishment of the Great Tang!
He also had a heart that yearned for a wise king.
But in some aspects, he still had his own thoughts.
For example, women!
As the Emperor of Tang, it seemed to be no problem for him to build three palaces and six courtyards. Moreover, he was very loving with Empress Zhangsun. In this era, no one would think that he was a scumbag.
Naturally, some women had special identities, and even he could not force them.
For example, the former Consort Qi and the current Consort Yang.
She was a woman that Li Shi Min wanted at first glance, but unfortunately, she was once his sister-in-law!
Now that Li Yuanji had been killed and all his sons had been executed, Li Shimin was very close to his sister-in-law.
He had plenty of time to slowly conquer it.
And now, someone wanted to take advantage of this Consort Chao!
Everyone was waiting for Li Shiming's decision.
He was caught in a dilemma.
The daughter he doted on the most and the dream he had kept in his heart kept appearing in his mind.
Your Majesty, it's time to make a decision." Kong Yan reminded.
Li Shiming sighed secretly. He thought that there would be more chances for the beauty in the future, but this was the only chance for his daughter.
" Hmm," he answered Kong Yan with an unfriendly expression.
Kong Yan smiled and turned to Princess Chang Le, giving her a reassuring look.
"Wait a minute." Li Wanshun suddenly said," How can you guarantee that he won't go back on his word?”
"Don't joke around!" Kong Yan paused and said. As a ruler, you have a golden mouth and jade words!"
"Do you…believe it yourself?" Li Wanshun glanced sideways at Kong Yan.
"What are you saying? His Majesty has always had the image of a sage king in the hearts of the commoners. How could he go back on his word?”Kong Yan's face was full of sincerity. He thought for a moment and reminded," There's not much time left. Once the birthday banquet ends, the civil and military officials in the court will find out about the situation here. They'll probably remonstrate with His Majesty and won't stop until they kill you.”
"I don't trust him." Li Wanshun said directly.
Li Shi Min's face was as dark as water, he was silent.
Kong Yan narrowed his eyes. Li Wanshun's worry was understandable. The most heartless of them all was the imperial family. Li Shiming might give in to Princess Changle for a moment, but he might turn hostile.
After all, what Li Wanshun was doing now was equivalent to provoking Huang Yan!
It seemed that Li Shi Min could do anything.
Looking at the generals behind Li Shiming, Kong Yan pondered for a moment before he chuckled,"Can you please tell me your names so that I can get to know you?”
"What do you want to do?" Li Shi Min frowned and asked.”
"Princess Chang Le is a precious daughter, it is not good for her to be held hostage. I suggest that one of the ministers behind His Majesty go and exchange Princess Chang Le.”Kong Yan analyzed seriously," If that's the case, Princess Changle's danger will be lifted, and the officials in the court will be held hostage. In order not to disappoint the other officials, His Majesty will definitely not go back on his words…Of course, in the hearts of the common people, His Majesty has always been a sage king whose words carry weight. This is only for Miss An's sake.”
Li Jing was speechless.
Cheng Yaojin was speechless.
Yuchi Jingde was speechless.
Hou Junji was speechless.
Qin Qiong was speechless.
“……”
The faces of the generals behind Li Shiming darkened.
"Use one of the ministers to exchange for Princess Chang Le first, then arrange a time to exchange the hostages. At that time, you can choose the location.”Kong Yan turned around to look at Li Wanshun and said," This is your only chance!”
"Sure!" Li Wanshun thought for a moment and said lightly," But you have to be included!”
"What?" Kong Yan was stunned, thinking that he had misheard.
"You were the one who came up with the idea. If he goes back on his word, he'll kill you first to warn others!”Li Wanshun said coldly.
"Young Lady is thinking too much, I am just a passerby.”Kong Yan laughed dryly, feeling a little guilty. He turned around and looked at Li Shiming, only to find that Li Shiming and the general behind him were all looking at him with a sinister expression.
"Cough cough…Your Majesty, are you really going to listen to her?”Kong Yan's voice trembled.
"What do you think?" Li Shi Min sneered.
Kong Yan stopped talking. He saw the generals behind Li Shiming laughing and said," How can you laugh?”
" Uh…" The laughter of the generals came to an abrupt halt, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
It seemed that one of them was going to become the other party's hostage!
Li Shi Min turned around and said with a gentle face,""You guys watched Lizhi grow up…See?”
"Your Majesty, I participated in the Black Tortoise Sect incident and even killed Li Yuanji with my own hands. If I fall into her hands, I will definitely lose my life.”
"Your Majesty, I also participated in the Black Tortoise Sect incident…"
"Your Majesty, I killed many of the hidden crown prince's men!”
"Your Majesty, this subject's body…cough cough, is useless.”
“……”
Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji, Qin Qiong, and the others all spoke up, and then they automatically pulled away from Li Jing.
Li Jing's old face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Among the generals present, he was the only one who did not participate in the Black Tortoise Sect's coup. In the past, his relationship with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji was average, and they had not had any conflicts.
"Apothecary." Li Shi Min sighed.
Li Jing's eyelids twitched violently as he said in a deep voice,""Your Majesty, isn't this too childish?”
Li Shiming naturally felt that it was too childish, but his beloved daughter was being held at the throat with a knife. What could he do?
It was not that he had not thought of sending someone to kill Li Wanshun with arrows, but if anything went wrong, Li Zhi would definitely die.
Moreover, the two men behind Li Wanshun had been protecting her with their bodies.
"Do you trust me?"
Li Shi Min looked at Li Jing with a solemn expression.
Li Jing's face twitched." Since Your Majesty has already said so, what else can I say?" he said faintly.”
The process of exchanging hostages was thrilling.
Li Jing's face darkened as he walked straight towards Li Wanshun. He did not make a move rashly.
The cold blade was pressed against his neck, causing his hatred for Kong Yan to reach its peak.
"Father!" Princess Chang Le threw herself into Li Shi Min's arms, tears streaming down her face.
Li Shi Min heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that with Li Jing's agility, he would be able to escape easily.
There was naturally no need to hand over the dream in his heart.
Thinking of this, he looked at Li Wanshun with a mocking gaze.
"You're still too young." Li Shi Min pondered.
"Knock him out." Li Wanshun said coldly.
"What?" Li Jing was dumbfounded.
" Who doesn't know that you're the Great Tang's God of War?" Li Wanshun said calmly." You're good at fighting. I'll only be at ease if I knock you unconscious!"”
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The hilt of the saber struck Li Jing's neck three times in a row, and Li Jing was knocked unconscious uncontrollably.
Li Shi Min's face twitched and his expression turned gloomy!
"Young Master Kong, why are you still standing there?”Li Wanshun looked at Kong Yan and smiled." We should go."”
"Kong Yan." Princess Chang Le looked at Kong Yan and bit her lip. Her face was full of worry.
