"Your Majesty, when will you announce the return of Changle? In these two months, when Chengqian, Qingque, Chengyang, and Chong-er heard that Changle had been captured by the Turks, they could not eat and would come crying to Chenqie every day.”
"Chong-er is Changle's fiancé, but he still spends his days getting drunk and only returns in the evening.”
"They don't know that Changle is in Chang 'an.”
Empress Zhangsun said in a very awkward manner.
Li Shiming frowned slightly when he heard the prince and princess 'behavior and Zhangsun Chong's drunkenness. He was very dissatisfied.
In comparison, Yang Chen, who was of similar age, was much more mature. It was said that he could kill a dozen Turkic mounted gangsters with a single bow, and the Red Eagle he trained was even given the title of General Shen Ying.
"Don't tell them. The less people know about Chang Le and Yang Chen, the better.”
......
In Taiji Palace.
The bell rang and echoed in all directions.
The civil and military officials stepped on the white jade stairs and entered Taiji Palace.
Everyone was wearing official robes and hats, holding jade and silk in their hands. They stood in two rows in the hall, left civil and right martial.
Today was the day Xue Yantuo's envoy set off to return to the north of the desert.
It was also the day they took away the princess.
The marriage policy won the support of most people.
This move could ensure 30 years of peace at the border.
Although most of the civil and military officials supported this decision, their expressions were still very humiliated. The one who felt the most aggrieved was King Jiang Xia, Li Daozong.
His daughter, Li Qiuyan, was going to be conferred the title of the new princess today and would follow Xue Yantuo's diplomatic mission to the north of the desert.
Li Daozong couldn't refuse, and he had to object to this matter.
"Your Majesty has arrived." The eunuch in charge of the court meeting shouted.
Li Shi Min walked out of the back hall and sat on the throne, observing the expressions of all the officials.
What kind of show was His Majesty playing?
Li Shiming was wearing a battle robe. All the ministers who had fought with him on the battlefield could recognize that it was the King of Qin's battle robe. Li Shimin had once worn it to battle and made great achievements.
"E-envoy Xue Yantuo is auspicious."
"E-envoy Xue Yantuo is auspicious."
......
His voice echoed.
Not long after, a burly man wearing a wolf hat and a goat robe stepped into Taiji Palace.
When he saw Li Shi Min, his arrogant steps were restrained.
"Foreign minister Ji Li greets Tang Emperor!"
"Rise!"
Li Shi Min stared at Ji Li with a burning gaze. Three days ago, he was the one who came to Taiji Palace and asked Li Shi Min to marry the princess.
"Reporting to the Tang Emperor, Ji Li and the diplomatic group will be returning to Mobei today. I wonder which princess the Tang Emperor will marry to my king?”
Ji Li cupped his hands and said.
He was one of the few people from Xue Yantuo who had assimilated into Han, so he knew the importance of this marriage alliance to Xue Yantuo.
A marriage alliance would definitely bring a large dowry, and the Great Tang's seed planting techniques, ironware smelting techniques, and countless books would flow into Mobei.
Ji Li couldn't help but feel excited.
Xue Yantuo's Divine Kingdom was about to rise up and become another Turkic Empire. They would dominate the northern desert and take the opportunity to go south and swallow the Tang Empire.
"Zhen has already decided."
When Li Daozong heard this, he closed his eyes. Daughter, daddy has let you down.
Ji Li's eyes were filled with fanaticism.
"I will never marry my children to outsiders."
"Whether it is a princess of the royal family or a commoner woman, they are all my children. I cannot bear to see them.”
Lucky's smile gradually stiffened.
The civil and military officials were in an uproar. What was His Majesty doing? Did he want to start a war between the two countries?
Li Daozong looked in shock at the man on the dragon throne who was wearing a battle robe and a sword today, as if he had understood something.
The King of Qin's battle robe had already made his stance clear.
"Ji Li, if you want to go back to Mo Bei, then go back to Mo Bei.”
Li Shimin's fingers touched the Sword of the Emperor Qin on the Dragon Book table, as if he had the hot-bloodedness of the past.
Ji Li took a deep breath and said angrily,
"Xue Yantuo was only willing to help Tang destroy the Turks because of your marriage alliance.”
"I broke the contract. What can you do?”
Li Shi Min had already deeply understood Yang Chen's shamelessness. For the sake of the Great Tang, he didn't care about his own reputation.
The future generations can scold me however they want. I've already killed my brothers anyway.
"You…"
"How dare you! How dare I call you Your Majesty?"
Li Junxian angrily pointed his sword at Ji Li.
Zhangsun Wuji's heart was about to jump out of his chest. What kind of stimulation had His Majesty received!
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were dumbstruck. Neither of them had received the news.
Yang Shidao, the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, also raised his eyebrows. This was not the Emperor's style of doing things. It was more like the style of a street scoundrel.
"Your Majesty, we've promised Xue Yantuo. It's not good to go back on our word like this.”
The Confucian minister, Kong Yingda, stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting.
Her tone was very conflicted. She clearly did not want to marry him, but she still wanted to say it.
Seeing that someone was helping, Ji Li placed his hopes on Kong Yingda.
"Lord Kong, I heard that you have a granddaughter. Why don't you send her to the north of the desert?”
Li Shi Min said with a smile.
Kong Yingda's face instantly stiffened. However, he was a 60-year-old wily fox, so he naturally had a countermeasure.
He dug his ears and looked around in confusion. He said loudly,
"This subject is already old, can Your Majesty speak louder?!”
"Since Lord Kong can't hear clearly, please invite him to the Imperial Physician Department.”
After Li Shimin finished speaking, two eunuchs came to Kong Yingda's side and helped him out of Taiji Palace.
Ji Li glared at the ministers and said helplessly,"
"Since the Tang Emperor doesn't want to marry, then forget it. However, the Tang Emperor needed to confirm the territory of the Turks to prevent disputes between the two countries.”
"North of the Altaic Mountains, three hundred miles in circumference. This place is far away from the Tang Empire, and it is difficult for the Tang Empire to control it.”
Ji Li then took out a map from his bosom. This was the territory of the Turks, stretching from the Altaic Mountains in the west to the Great Xing 'an Mountains in the east.
"Ridiculous! This is the territory of the Great Tang, are you dreaming?”
Li Shi Min suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with killing intent.
If it wasn't for Yang Chen's reminder, he would have given away the land that the Tang army had obtained through blood in exchange for Xue Yantuo's loyalty.
But Xue Yantuo was no different from the Turks, like a meat bun beating a dog.
