Zhangsun Wuji was extremely furious when faced with the whispers of the commoners and their strange gazes!
He knew that Cheng Yaojin had done all of this on purpose.
He had underestimated this bandit. He was deliberately making things difficult for him.
That was true, the Imperial Brother-in-law had a hand that covered the sky in the court, and his power was overwhelming. At the same time, they were also the main pillar to suppress the Tile Gang Faction.
It was a rare opportunity, and it made sense for Cheng Yaojin to not give him face.
Endure, endure what ordinary people can't endure, only then can one achieve unparalleled great things!
Haha!
"Old Qian Sui is still so energetic!”
Zhangsun Wuji was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he could still call out 'old thousands'. This honey-mouthed ability was also one of the abilities to achieve great things.
Cheng Yaojin frowned. Old fox, why aren't you angry?
"Someone come!"
"Bring the fine and the money to buy people in.”
Zhangsun Wuji's mouth was wide open. How could he say this? He really wanted to slap this Stinky Calamity Dao to death right now.
Forget it!
Saving his son was more important.
"That, country uncle, don't be so polite in the future.”
"Your son is a regular customer, and he pays so much money every time. Aren't you poor?”
"You…"
"Let's go to court."
Drive!
Just like that, this stinking robber still didn't do anything after receiving the money.
He only said to bring the money in, but the soldiers did not receive any orders to let them go!
"Cheng Yaojin, why aren't you letting him go?"
Zhangsun Wuji couldn't hold back his anger anymore and roared.
Cheng Yaojin turned his head." Let's go to court first. Do you want to go together?"”
Drive!
Zhangsun Wuji cursed Cheng Yaojin's 39 generations of ancestors in his heart. In the end, he still chased after him.
The two of them rode side by side and headed straight for the Imperial Palace.
Zhangsun Wuji saw that there was no one else and he had given enough face. It was time to lay his cards on the table.
Cough cough!
"Cheng Yaojin, I've given you the money."
"One can't be dishonest. We're courtiers in the same hall, so we'll see each other frequently. Hurry up and release her.”
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he actually dared to challenge her?
He was venting his anger for his brother. If he said it clearly, he would not forgive him!
Haha!
Cheng Yaojin didn't care about his face anymore and said loudly,""Your son did this."
"To be honest, we are extremely unwilling for the Empress to marry the Princess to your son.”
"Who is your son?"
Zhangsun Wuji flew into a rage. Wasn't this scolding him for not being a thing?!
"Cheng Yaojin!"
"You dare to scold the Empress, you dare to disrespect the Empress, I will definitely take revenge on you.”
"Whatever!" Cheng Yaojin said disapprovingly.”
"He came to get engaged to you, but your son actually wants to do things in advance.”
"You must know that the princess has a body of a thousand pounds, and her reputation is important.”
"It's an engagement, not a marriage. You can't do what you shouldn't do.”
"My brother risked his life to protect his master, but your son still wanted to kill him.”
"Besides, your son's skills are not even as good as my brother, a eunuch!”
"If I, Old Cheng, had been a step late, your son would have gone to see the King of Hell.”
"You motherf * cker, you really are a dog biting Zhuge Liang. You don't know how to appreciate a good person's heart!”
Zhangsun Wuji gritted his teeth in anger. Yu Huatian, this Yu Huatian again.
No wonder he dared to be so impudent. It turned out that there was an old thousand-year-old behind him!
Actually, he didn't know how Cheng Yaojin and Yu Huatian became brothers. Cheng Yaojin was still regretting it!
It was a pity that his brother was reincarnated into the wrong family. He had a good face, but he was a eunuch.
Humph!
"You'd better let him go," Zhangsun Wuji said disapprovingly.”
"Even if I do it, His Majesty will not blame me.”
"It was originally an engagement, but the young man was hot-blooded and drank two more glasses.”
"This is obviously a good thing!"
"That brother of yours used a chicken feather as an arrow and insisted on making a mountain out of a molehill.”
"Cheng Yaojin, who do you think is more important, the country brother-in-law or a mere eunuch?”
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, Zhangsun Wuji was still the same. He used his status to judge people and insisted on dividing them into three, six, and nine grades!
The views of the aristocrats were serious and pedantic!
No, he had to learn a good lesson. He had to be tough to the end!
Cheng Yaojin glared at him and said loudly,""The Son of Heaven breaks the law and is punished the same as the commoners.”
"Let's see if it's your mouth that talks or my mouth that talks.”
Humph!
"Is there going to be a battle in the imperial court?" Zhangsun Wuji said indifferently.”
"Do you really want to be my enemy?"
Cheng Yaojin smiled faintly." Fight to the end. I can't let a villain like you get away with it."”
"Just wait and see!" Zhangsun Wuji's fox-like eyes revealed his killing intent.
"Please!" Cheng Yaojin said domineeringly.”
Drive!
The two of them immediately separated and walked on the street, one on the left and one on the right, towards the Imperial Palace.
Three quarters of an hour!
In Taiji Palace's Taiji Palace, the civil and military officials lined up on both sides!
In the Tang Dynasty, martial arts were respected, and the left was respected.
The leader of the generals, Li Jing, had led his troops to attack Tuyuhun and had yet to return.
Now, the person standing in the first place was the Great General of the Left Military Guard and the temporary Minister of War, Su Lie!
The first person on the right was the Imperial Censor, Wei Zheng!
Cheng Yaojin and Zhangsun Wuji were second on the left and second on the right respectively.
In the imperial court, they were discussing important matters.
The two of them just stared at each other. They were waiting for the court to discuss the important matters before starting the war!
On the dragon throne was Li Shi Min, who was in his prime!
He was wearing a black dragon robe and a nine-curtain crown. At this moment, he already had two strands of beard. He looked less vicious than when he was young and more mature like a king.
"Your Majesty, there's good news from the front!"
Li Shi Min smiled arrogantly. A mere Tuyuhun dared to offend the Celestial Empire. His crime was not to be punished.
Ever since the destruction of the Eastern Turks in the 4th year of Zhenguan, the Eastern Turks had been in a state of chaos. The Great Tang had long been revered as the Heavenly Dynasty, and Li Shimin had been revered as the Heavenly Khan by the various kingdoms.
He was very confident in the battle with Tuyuhun.
Haha!
"Beloved Minister, come quickly and let everyone hear how the Celestial War God attacked and destroyed the enemy country.”
Su Lie stood up and cupped his hands while holding the jade board."Teacher Li Jing is already sixty-three years old, but he still chose elite cavalry to pursue the enemy for over two thousand li.”
"It was snowing heavily there. They overcame the difficulties and defeated the Fuyun Army in Luozhen Valley, Hanku Mountain, Xingxiu River, Baihai and other places.”
"Then Hou Junji and Li Daozong led the army to pursue them all the way to Jiyu Mountain.”
"Since then, the cavalry of our Great Tang have trampled over Tuyuhun.”
"The two armies are currently converging on Dafei River and preparing to return to the court!”
When the ministers heard this, they were extremely excited.
Especially those civil officials, when they heard that the generals had lost the battle, they would mock them.
When he heard that the general had won the battle,
"That's great, that's great!"
"Great General Li's martial arts are truly peerless and his art of war is monstrous!”
"Isn't that so?"
"Even young people can't stand the weather. The old man in his sixties actually used Huo Qubing's thousand-mile attack. It was truly unbelievable.”
"Alright, the Great Tang's cavalry is a heavenly army descending to the mortal world!”
Li Shi Min was really happy to hear this.
He slapped the dragon throne and said loudly,""When the Heavenly Army returns to court, the officials will come out of the city to welcome them.”
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
" Your Majesty is wise!"
Three shouts echoed in Taiji Palace.
Li Shiming felt good. However, he thought of another problem.
Money!
First, he had destroyed the Eastern Turks, then Tuyuhun. After these two battles, the treasury was almost empty.
The Great Tang was only at its peak on the surface.
After two great battles, his reputation had spread far and wide. However, the domestic economy could no longer afford a third war.
But who knew when the third war would come!
To the west was the powerful Tubo, to the northwest was the powerful Western Turks, and to the east was the tough Goguryeo.
These three fellows were ready to take a bite out of the Great Tang at any moment.
It would take at least five years to develop the economy and recuperate before they could fight again.
Right now, there was a shortcut, a shortcut that could earn the least amount of income in one go, the total amount of taxes in the country for ten years.
"Where is the Minister of Judicial Review?"
The Head of the Supreme Court was Gao Xing, the eldest son of the Empress 'uncle, Gao Shilian.
Gao Xing was afraid to call him. The front line had won a great battle, but he had lost soldiers and generals.
"Minister Gao Xing of the Supreme Court is here.”
Gao Xing wiped his cold sweat and cupped his hands.
"How is the Loulan Kingdom's treasure going?”
"Have you found the last princess of Loulan?”Li Shi Min asked seriously.
Loulan was a small country in the Western Region. It was also the wealthiest country in the Western Region and the country that produced the most gold.
The Loulan Kingdom was founded in 176 B.C., but it mysteriously disappeared in the fourth year of Zhenguan.
In the past few years, there had been all sorts of rumors!
However, there was one thing that was not a legend. It was based on history.
During the Han Dynasty, the Loulan Kingdom sometimes became the eyes and ears of the Xiongnu and sometimes submitted to the Han Dynasty. Between the Han and Xiongnu forces, it was cleverly maintaining its life.
Since Loulan was located in the transportation fortress between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions, the Han Dynasty could not cross this area to attack the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu could not threaten the Han Dynasty without borrowing the strength of Loulan.
The Han and Xiongnu had tried their best to implement a policy of appeasement towards Loulan!
Not only did Loulan produce a lot of gold, but the Han and Xiongnu also gave some benefits from time to time due to their policy of appeasement.
Coupled with the fact that it was located on the main trade route between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions, it was extremely rich.
Loulan was a small country, and they were afraid of being robbed, so they hid all their gold and wealth underground.
The treasure map was divided into two parts, which were managed by the king and the prince. Of course, the prince was the prince who was going to inherit the throne. This was the rule.
Before the old king died, he would give his copy of the treasure map to the new king, and the new king would give his copy to the next heir.
A hundred years ago, the Loulan Kingdom implemented a queen system, and the treasure map was managed by the princess.
The princess could be the queen's daughter or sister.
As early as the fourth year of Zhenguan, the officials sent by the Chamberlain of Dependencies to the Western Regions reported that the Loulan Kingdom had disappeared overnight.
He only said that the sandstorm and tornado blew the entire night.
Before the Loulan Kingdom disappeared, the last princess, who was also one of the managers of the treasure map, was sent to Chang 'an as a hostage when she was young.
After knowing that Lou Lan had disappeared, Li Shiming sent the Supreme Court to protect her. At the same time, she asked the old palace maids in the palace to accompany her like an elder sister and mother to do some mental work.
For example, if Lou Lan wasn't here, the Great Tang would be your home. Hand over the treasure map and you will be the princess of the Tang Empire.
In the end, he ran away when he was not careful!
