Chu Wen's Shocking Words
During the banquet.
Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were very friendly and asked this and that.
Chu Wen couldn't help but think.
It was said that the emperor was dignified, but it didn't seem to be the case.
At least, Li Shi Min was different.
He was like a neighbor's uncle.
As for Empress Zhangsun, she was like a mature sister next door.
On the other hand, Li Chengqian could make his own decisions after Li Shimin left the palace, perhaps because he was in front of his father and mother, and his current identity was the Crown Prince.
Therefore, he seemed rather restrained.
It looked very orderly.
However, Li Lizhi was different. She kept talking to Li Xue Yan.
She looked like a porcelain doll and was very beautiful.
She was definitely a beauty.
It was similar to Li Xue Yan.
After lunch.
The palace maids served tea and everyone continued to chat.
It was not much different from the few uncles and aunties in the future.
Li Shi Min suddenly looked at Chu Wen.
"Chu Junma, I want to talk to you alone."”
Chu Wen couldn't help but feel surprised.
What was going on?
Could it be that his father-in-law had ruined Li Shiming's plans, and Li Shiming was so angry that he had set up an ambush outside the hall?
His thoughts were wild and unrestrained.
He had directly transmigrated to the Three Kingdoms.
However, he was just thinking about it. After all, Li Shiming did not have such a motive, nor was he so despicable.
Therefore, he was confident and bold.
"Your Majesty is famous," he said respectfully.”
Li Shi Min smiled.
Then, he stood up and walked out of the hall.
Chu Wen followed behind him.
Before he left, he even winked at Li Xue Yan and made an inconspicuous face.
Li Xue Yan's ears turned red and she lowered her head.
After Chu Wen walked out of the hall, he followed Li Shi Min to another hall.
He raised his head and saw the large horizontal board above his head with the words "Taiji Palace" written on it.
Chu Wen stuck out his tongue.
Oh my god.
He actually came here.
Ever since the founding of the Great Tang, Taiji Palace had been the main hall of the Imperial Palace, where all state affairs were handled.
It could be said to be solemn.
Chu Wen couldn't help but find it strange. Why was it so formal?
He did not know what the Emperor wanted to talk to him about.
At this moment, Li Shi Min turned around and smiled at Chu Wen.
"Chu County's Ma is a handsome man.”
"Your Majesty, you flatter me." Chu Wen smiled humbly.”
Li Shi Min changed the topic.
"A few days ago, I had the intention to marry the princess to the Tubo Empire so that we could form a good relationship with the Tubo Empire and ensure the peace of the southwest.”
Then, Li Shi Min's eyes lit up as he stared at Chu Wen and said,""If I really do this, will you blame me?”
Chu Wen was speechless.
He thought it was some serious business.
So it was just a family matter. It was too beneath the status of an emperor.
Chu Wen didn't even think about it when he saw Li Shiming's gaze.
Then he answered firmly,"Yes!"”
Li Shi Min almost staggered.
A dumbfounded expression appeared on his face.
She didn't expect Chu Wen to give her an answer so quickly.
What was even more unexpected was that…
This answer was too direct.
He couldn't help but size up the young man in front of him again, and a sense of admiration rose in his heart.
There were only a few people in the world who dared to speak to him like this.
Suddenly, he had a thought and asked,""Why?"
There was no sign of anger on his face.
He looked unfathomable.
Seeing this, Chu Wen couldn't help but hesitate.
In the history books, it was said that Li Shimin was broad-minded.
He did not know if it was true or not.
After thinking about it, he decided not to care.
Since they had already contradicted each other, they might as well go a little overboard.
Moreover, Li Shi Min might really be magnanimous and not care about such trivial matters.
Therefore, he said directly,"Pardon me for being blunt, but even if Madam did not marry me, I do not think much of Your Majesty's method of marriage."”
Li Shi Min frowned.
These words were too rash.
However, Chu Wen continued,"
"If we blindly use methods like marriage, we can only win over these barbarians for a while at most, not forever. If the current ruler of Tubo died, would His Majesty and his descendants have to marry a princess every time?”
He had already gone all out anyway.
Therefore, he did not hold back when he spoke.
Li Shi Min was deep in thought.
Chu Wen observed Li Shi Min's expression and knew that Li Shi Min also had this worry.
It seemed that he had made the right bet.
Perhaps Li Shimin would have to ask him for advice.
As expected, before he could finish thinking, Li Shi Min had already spoken.
"These words are quite reasonable. You are now a member of my Li Clan, so why don't you share your opinion?”
Chu Wen laughed in his heart.
He was right.
Fortunately, he already had a countermeasure.
He cleared his throat." Surrounding the Great Tang, the barbarians, the Rong Di, are one after another. They can be said to be insatiable. For such a person, one could not give him sweet fruits. Instead, one had to beat him down, beat him into submission, beat him until he had no temper, beat him until he bowed his head and was willing to be a horse back then. This is the way to go."
Li Shi Min was deep in thought, but he kept nodding.
Obviously, they agreed with him.
However, there were also doubts in his heart.
After all, as the ruler of a country, he didn't want to go to war for years.
If the people were in dire straits, it would probably backfire on his regime.
This was also the reason why Li Shi Min chose to marry.
"I don't know much about these national affairs, but when I was young, I traveled the world and saw a country called the Ming Dynasty.”
"In terms of national strength, the Ming Dynasty is no match for the Great Tang's golden age. However, whether it was the mobs pressing down on the city, the enemy besieging the capital, or the emperor being captured, the Ming Dynasty would never admit defeat.”
"Its founding creed is: No marriage, no tribute, no ceding of land, no reparations, only death. At most, the emperor would guard the country gate and the king would guard the country. If you can't do it, just do it."
In his excitement, coupled with the fact that he had just transmigrated, many terms were used in his previous life.
Of course, some words were intentionally said to provoke Li Shimin.
Chu Wen looked at Li Shimin.
Li Shi Min's face revealed a trace of joy.
His eyes were filled with admiration.
She was obviously moved by Chu Wen's words.
Especially the last sentence," Take life lightly. If you can't do it, just do it." Although it was rough, it was very impactful.
And 'the Son of Heaven guards the gates of the country, and the King guards the land' shocked him even more.
It was simply too violent and domineering.
