The Imperial Palace, the royal study.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty recently purchased a batch of Yizhou Shu brocade to buy spring clothes for the concubines in the harem?"”

Li Shimin was puzzled." Wei Zheng, ah, Wei Zheng. You control the heavens and the earth. Why do you care when I buy clothes for my wife?"”

Wei Zheng: " No, but Your Majesty, Shu brocade is extremely expensive. The production of Shu brocade in Yizhou is not too much. I heard that Your Majesty ordered thousands of strings of cloth at once?”

"Wei Zheng, what are you trying to say?" Li Shiming's face turned serious.”

Wei Zheng lowered his head.”

Li Shiming was stunned for a moment and was about to scold Wei Zheng.

Cheng Yaojin stepped forward." Wei Zheng, His Majesty took the money from his private treasury."”

Wei Zheng was a little stunned." His Majesty is usually extremely thrifty. I heard that he doesn't have much money in his private treasury. Why…"

Li Shimin: " Hehe, I see that many of the people are doing business. I sent a few people to do business and earn money. Don't tell me they won't allow me to use it?”

"I see, then it's fine…"

"Wei Zheng, His Majesty recently sent over two thousand catties of refined steel from the palace treasury to the Ministry of War. How could His Majesty be a poor person?"”

Wei Zheng was dumbfounded. 2000 catties of steel, how much money would that cost?

If I, Wei Zheng, become ten and become an official together, I won't be able to earn 2,000 catties of refined steel in my lifetime.

"Cough cough, so His Majesty is so rich. It seems that the rumors are all false.”

Li Shi Min waved his hand." I set the rules myself. Of course, I can't break them myself. I won't touch the things in the national treasury. Because of the construction of the Great Ming Palace, my private treasury is also empty."”

"So I opened an ironworks, a winery, and dozens of restaurants. It can be considered a small profit.”

Wei Zheng was stunned.”

"That's right."

"Hiss ~ I heard that it's a business that earns a lot of money every day. Your Majesty is really amazing.”

Li Shimin blushed." Cough cough, let's not talk about this anymore. Wei Zheng, you're not thinking of getting a discount, are you?"”

"If I say no, you're eating to support me in changing the equipment of the Tang army, do you understand?”

"Ahem, Your Majesty, I can still afford mutton…"

"Alright, Uncle, tell everyone."”

"Everyone, Tuyuhun has sent another envoy to Chang 'an." Zhangsun Wuji's expression was solemn.”

Everyone's expression changed." This is outrageous!" Wei Zheng said." General Hou Junji and General Li Jing have just returned to Chang 'an, and they want to use the same trick again?"”

Zhangsun Wuji replied," It's not that they're using the same old trick and continuing to plunder. This time, Tuyuhun's people came mainly to propose marriage to their prince."”

"Tuyuhun's envoy said that Tuyuhun is willing to marry into the Great Tang.”

Everyone had different expressions.

"This matter doesn't seem right."”

Fang Yang had mentioned this to Fang Xuanling before, but he did not go into detail, so Fang Xuanling felt that it was strange.

Fang Yang only said that Tuyuhun would have a marriage alliance to stall for time, but he did not talk about the specifics.

"What do you think?"

"It's best if you refuse."

Zhangsun Wuji nodded." Although a marriage alliance sounds good, it doesn't feel right."”

Qin Qiong coughed.

Qin Shubao's coughing was not because he was embarrassed, but because he had a back injury and often coughed.

Qin Qiong: " Your Majesty, I don't think there's too much of a problem with this matter. Marriage has always been one of the symbols of a small country's loyalty to the dynasty of the Central Plains since ancient times.”

This was the difference between a marriage alliance and a marriage alliance.

Marrying a princess to a rival king was different from marrying a royal family to a prince of a small country.

A marriage alliance was to let the princess become a concubine.

And for a marriage alliance, one had to be the wife of the main wife. After a hundred years, the king of a small country would officially become the queen.

"No!" "Your Majesty, there's a trap. It's the Tuyuhun people's plan."”

"Oh?" Li Shimin asked knowingly. Cheng Zhijie, go ahead."

Cheng Yaojin took a step forward and said,"

"Our Great Tang has been at war with Tuyuhun for two months.”

"A small group of Tuyuhun cavalrymen invaded the border and looted. They were defeated by General Li Jing, who was patrolling the River Province, and were driven away.”

"Then, the Tuyuhun envoys used trade as an excuse to reach Chang 'an. On their way back, they looted.”

"This matter was seen through by His Majesty and Lord Fang Xuanling.”

"Right now, Tuyuhun is short of food, but it hasn't reached the point of collapse and famine. Thus, they can't go south on a large scale. They can only think of ways to tamper with the border of the Great Tang.”

"This time, it's nothing more than a plan.”

"Cheng Yaojin, when did you become smart?"”

"Hehe, I've always been smart, but I don't usually express my opinions."”

"This time, the marriage alliance is fake. The Tuyuhun people want to delay us with the marriage alliance so that we can release the detained Tuyuhun envoys.”

"Then, when the envoys from both sides go back and forth to discuss the marriage, they will send people to rob River Province and Tao Province again.”

"Did they eat leopard guts?" Again? Aren't you afraid that we'll counterattack?"

Cheng Yaojin: " They really aren't afraid. It's very simple. This time, they're planning to plunder during the marriage alliance. Then, Tuyuhun Khan Fu Yun will use the robbery as an excuse to write a letter of sin to His Majesty.”

"Admit that you are incompetent in governing your subordinates and have no face to talk about marriage.”

"In this way, His Majesty won't be able to attack Tuyuhun, nor will he be able to pursue the matter of Tuyuhun standing us up.”

Zhangsun Wuji suddenly realized,"This is a serial scheme. With Fu Yun's character, he would do such a thing."”

"Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao is right. When did you become smart?”
