Li Shi Min walked out of the restaurant.
He took a deep breath, and his originally easy-going face became extremely dignified, completely unlike the relaxed Lord Yue Fu who was chatting with Yang Chen.
The Imperial Army hidden in the dark followed Li Shiming, and they all returned to the palace along Xuanwu Street.
On the way, they encountered three patrolling Golden Guards. Imperial Army Marshal Li Junxian flashed his token, allowing them to pass through without any obstruction.
If Yang Chen saw this scene, he would definitely exclaim in shock that Lord Yue Fu was awesome!
The gates of Taiji Palace were opened for Li Shiming.
When they entered the rear palace, there were already several eunuchs and palace maids waiting by the side of the road.
Li Shi Min could tell that these palace servants were very familiar.
"This servant attends, Your Majesty." The eunuchs and serving girls bowed together.
"Get up."
Li Shi Min waved his hand and asked,"What are you doing here?"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yang is in bed tonight. Is Your Majesty preparing to go over?”A leading eunuch stepped forward and said in a low voice.
Concubine Yang?
Li Shimin thought of Yang Chen, who also had the surname Yang. Yang Chen had scolded me a lot just now, so he said lightly,"Zhen is a little tired. Tell Concubine Yang to do it next time.”
Li Shi Min ordered the others.
"Return to the palace!"
The eunuchs and serving girls were all stunned. Didn't His Majesty like Concubine Yang to sleep with him the most?
Concubine Yang would never have thought that she would be innocently shot because she had the same surname as a certain someone.
Li Shimin returned to his bedroom and stayed in the study. Soon, Empress Zhangsun asked to see him.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
After Empress Zhangsun entered the study, she smelled the alcohol in the room and immediately ordered someone to prepare a hangover tea.
"Guanyin maid, why are you here?"
Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were husband and wife, so they called each other by their small names. It could be seen that Empress Zhangsun had a high status in his heart.
"ChenQie heard that His Majesty didn't go to Yang Fei's younger sister's place and seemed a little tired. ChenQie saw the light in the study room and came over.”
As soon as Empress Zhangsun spoke, Li Shimin snapped,"
"It's all because someone called me a fatuous ruler. They even called me stupid and called me weak in the kidney.”
When he said the last sentence, Li Shimin gave Empress Zhangsun an expression, meaning that his kidneys were not weak.
"Preposterous!"
Even the mild-tempered Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but fly into a rage."It must be Wei Zheng. His Majesty's achievements are obvious to all. How could he say that His Majesty is a fatuous ruler?"
Empress Zhangsun was too embarrassed to say the last two sentences. It felt like the words of a commoner scolding someone, not something a remonstrant like Wei Zheng would say.
"Not Wei Zheng, but your good son-in-law.”
Li Shi Min took the tea from the palace maid and took a sip. His thoughts were not as chaotic as before.
Empress Zhangsun had many sons-in-law, and the first person she thought of was a certain someone.
Yang Chen.
Only Yang Chen did not know that his father-in-law was the emperor, so he could say such offensive words.
"Sigh, who asked me to be snubbed and take the initiative to ask him what his evaluation of the current Emperor is.”
"At the beginning, he even said that I am a wise ruler, a famous ruler of the ages. However, when he heard that I wanted to marry, he scolded me for being a fatuous ruler and having water in his brain.”
"Zhen was scolded so badly, but there was no way to refute.”
Empress Zhangsun listened to Li Shimin's nagging and found that he was only angry on the surface.
Li Shimin was provoked by Yang Chen today, so he asked Empress Zhangsun to grind him.
The fine Xuan paper was spread out on the table.
He dipped the brush in ink and wrote two sentences in an instant.
"No marriage, no land."
"All of our Turkic territory is Tang territory!”
Empress Zhangsun stepped forward to take a closer look and muttered,""No marriage alliance, no marriage alliance."
After reading it twice, his entire body trembled.
Her eyes were slightly red.
As a woman, she could see the unyielding attitude in these two sentences.
"Your Majesty, these two words of yours are ambitious. ChenQie thanks you on behalf of QiuYan.”
Empress Zhangsun crossed her arms and bowed to Li Shimin.
Li Qiuyan was the daughter of Li Daozong, and she would replace Princess Xinxing to go to the north of the desert for a marriage alliance.
Li Shimin was shocked when he saw these two sentences for the first time, let alone Empress Zhangsun.
Compared to men, women hated marriage alliances even more. Not a single Tang woman was willing to serve those barbarians.
"What kind of uncle would give his niece to bandits?”
Li Shimin was Li Qiuyan's uncle. Yesterday, Li Daozong pleaded with him, but he rejected him on the grounds of the safety of the kingdom.
Sending someone else's daughter for a marriage alliance and adding on a high-sounding reason was indeed very cheap.
"Today, if I hadn't been scolded by Yang Chen, I'm afraid I wouldn't have realized it.”
Li Shimin revealed a guilty expression and then told Empress Zhangsun the origin of these two sentences.
Yang Chen again?
Empress Zhangsun had thought that these two sentences came from His Majesty, but she did not expect it to come from Yang Chen.
No wonder His Majesty didn't pursue Yang Chen's offense.
"Lizhi has chosen a good son-in-law and also a good son-in-law for Zhen.”
"Sigh, Lizhi has good taste.”
"After confirming Yang Chen's identity as the Prince Consort, this Yang Chen will definitely be the pillar and backbone of the Great Tang in the future and will serve Us.”
Speaking up to this point, Li Shi Min couldn't help but feel a headache. That Yang Chen didn't have the slightest desire for fame and fortune.
All of a sudden, Li Shimin was a little reluctant to lay his cards on the table with Yang Chen. His son-in-law had a good relationship with him now, and he was drinking and bragging.
This was the first time Empress Zhangsun had seen the Emperor speak so highly of the younger generation.
The last time she saw Yang Chen, she also felt that his temperament was quite good. After that, the big red eagle searched for the king's tent and even killed the enemy, which made her marvel.
Now, his bold insight of " not marrying and not ceding territory " had refreshed her impression of Yang Chen.
However, Yang Chen and Chang Le's identities were awkward.
