The atmosphere in the royal court became subtle.
Lu Bei's words seemed to have enlightened many officials who were hoping to use the marriage alliance to exchange for a breather.
"The Lu Clan's brat is right. If our Great Tang relies on a woman to retreat, what use do we have for all of you? Where is our face? What face did the Great Tang have? Even the princess lost. This was the first time I, Old Cheng, would not accept this!”
Cheng Yaojin jumped out and shouted.
"Old Cheng is right. Everyone here, touch your own hands and your conscience. How can you tolerate such a marriage?”
Yuchi Gong, whose face had turned black with anger, also stood up and waved his palm-leaf-fan-sized palm, scolding loudly.
Many of the officials of the Guanlong Corporation turned pale.
"Hmph, what can we use to fight such a brave man? With the 3,000 palace guards of Chang 'an Marquis?”
Zhangsun Wuji glanced at Lu Bei with his nose in the air and said disdainfully.
"That's right, with my three thousand palace guards!”
Lu Bei shouted in a deep voice.
"Three thousand against three hundred thousand? Are you dreaming?"
Zhangsun Wuji said again.
"Yeah, 3,000 against 300,000. It's too unbelievable.”
"What are the consequences if we lose? I can't afford to gamble!"
The ministers looked at each other and were momentarily undecided.
A troubled expression filled the entire hall!
"His Majesty had already considered the Turkic crimes, so he ordered me to form three thousand palace guards. Now that a strong army has been trained, why should you be in a dilemma and worry about gains and losses because you have already prepared for it? 3,000 against 300,000. Haven't I done it before?”
Lu Bei's words made everyone's eyes burn.
They once again thought of Lu Bei's figure by the bank of the Wei River.
Laughing proudly on the battlefield, a real man should be like this!
A fearless fire burned in everyone's hearts.
"Hmph, what makes you think that this time will be as smooth as the last time? If you don't marry, do you want the entire Great Tang to be your stake?”
Zhangsun Wuji once again insisted on the necessity of the marriage alliance and accused Lu Bei of taking a risk.
"Based on the fact that I dare to make a military pledge, if I can't win, I'm willing to be beheaded!”
Lu Bei said without changing his expression.
"Hiss…"
Gasps sounded in the court once again.
Lu Bei did not intend to leave any way out for himself.
Either win or die, there was no other way!
The way they looked at Lu Bei instantly became filled with admiration.
To do this for the safety of the people of Youzhou, for the face of the Great Tang, and for Princess Changle.
Lu Bei's loyalty and bravery could be seen by heaven and earth!
"What an iron-willed Chang An Marquis!”
It was unknown who shouted, but all the civil and military officials present, regardless of their stance, all looked at Lu Bei with admiration!
"How can your life compare to the entire Great Tang? He's simply a bastard!"
Zhangsun Wuji scolded angrily, then cupped his hands at Li Shiming and said,"Your Majesty, please accept the marriage as soon as possible. Lu Bei is greedy and has harmed the country. He should be killed!”
Li Shi Min sat on the dragon throne expressionlessly, as if he had not heard Zhangsun Wuji's words.
He was waiting, waiting for Lu Bei to make the final decision!
The ministers also cast expectant gazes over.
There were even many officials of the Guanlong Group among them. At this moment, they also hoped that Lu Bei could suppress Zhangsun Wuji!
"It's true that I'm not worth the Great Tang's fate, but what about you, Zhangsun Wuji?”
Lu Bei smiled coldly and asked loudly,"This marquis has already made a military pledge. Do you, Zhangsun Wuji, dare to guarantee with your life that after the marriage, the Turks will not make another mistake for at least three years? Wait until the Great Tang recovers its strength, sharpen its weapons, and take revenge, then chop off their heads?”
"Hiss…"
Zhangsun Wuji gasped and widened his eyes.
The Turks had gone back on their word many times, and only someone with a hole in their head would dare to bet their lives that the Turks would change their attitude and become trustworthy.
" Hmph, I'm not a general. My status is noble…"
Zhangsun Wuji still wanted to be stubborn, but he was rudely interrupted by Lu Bei.
"Lord Zhangsun, don't talk nonsense. I'm asking you if you dare or not. Just answer me if you dare or not!”
Lu Bei quickly approached and shouted aggressively.
Shua!
The ministers also looked at Zhangsun Wuji with provocative gazes.
"This official naturally cannot vouch for the Turks.”
Zhangsun Wuji finally lowered his head.
The Turkic people were notorious and could not be cleansed!
"Your Majesty, please reject the marriage!"
Lu Bei no longer paid attention to Zhangsun Wuji's flushed face and turned to Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, please reject the marriage!"
Other than the members of the Guanlong Group, the rest of the officials all bowed and agreed.
Instantly, a large number of people in the imperial court prostrated themselves.
"En, the marriage alliance has no restrictions on the Turks. Don't mention it again in the future. Everyone, prepare for war!"
Li Shi Min's voice was filled with unquestionable dominance as he made the final decision.
And that was to fight!
