--
It was just a bestowment of marriage, and it was actually said to be arbitrary.
This made Li Shiming furious!
"Unfilial son! This is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. How can you say that I am the one who decides everything!”
Li Chengqian waved his hand.
"Zhangsun Xue 'er and I don't know each other. How can we get married so quickly? Anyway, I definitely won't agree to this marriage.”
Li Chengqian refuted in such a manner in the Imperial Court. This made Zhangsun Wuji's expression turn ugly.
"Humph! Do you really think I'm giving you face? Even if you don't agree to this marriage, you have to accept it!”Li Shiming was indeed angry.
After all, he was the Emperor of the Great Tang. There was no reason for him to take back what he had said and done!
Originally, he was still worried about Li Chengqian's identity as the Crown Prince.
Li Shimin gave him some face!
Now that he saw that Li Chengqian did not give his father any face at all,
This made Li Shi Min furious!
"If I don't agree, no one can say anything. Including you." Li Chengqian looked at Li Shiming, who was in the upper position, and said calmly.
After saying that, Li Chengqian flicked his sleeves and left Taiji Palace.
Looking at Li Chengqian's back as he left.
The entire Taiji Palace fell silent.
The ministers did not know how to respond.
This Crown Prince…was too bold.
He actually didn't give the emperor any face!
Li Shi Min was so angry that his entire body was trembling.
Ever since the incident at Xuanwu Gate, Li Shiming had been the highest ruler of the empire. Although there were voices of opposition from time to time, no one dared to show him any disrespect.
Now, Li Chengqian actually turned hostile on the spot!
"Unfilial son! What an unfilial son!" Li Shi Min clenched his fists tightly.
Seeing the Emperor's rage, Wang Gui thought that his chance had come. He hurried forward and said,
" Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is so arrogant that he actually disobeyed the orders of the Emperor. This is a crime of great disrespect. According to the laws of the Great Tang…"
Before Wang Gui could finish, Li Shimin roared,
"According to your Great Tang Law!"
Wang Gui was speechless.
Wang Gui swallowed hard, not daring to speak anymore.
The Emperor had already cursed. This matter was really serious.
Li Shimin stared at Wang Gui. He had already been bullied by Li Chengqian, but due to Li Chengqian's recent outstanding achievements, it was not appropriate to directly vent his anger on him. Now that Wang Gui had sent himself up, Li Shimin finally found a punching bag!
"Men! Drag Wang Gui out! Give me fifty strokes first!" Li Shi Min waved his hand, and several Golden Guards poured into the hall.
" Your Highness, what crime have I committed…?" Wang Gui was completely flustered.
With these 50 strokes, his butt would definitely explode, and he wouldn't have to attend morning court for half a month.
"Humph! What sin is there? You maliciously instigated the relationship between me and the Crown Prince. What crime do you think you have?”Li Shi Min said coldly.
The Golden Guards had already dragged Wang Gui out of the hall.
Pa!
Pa! Pa! Pa!
The sound of the cane accompanied by Wang Gui's wails entered the hall.
The ministers were trembling.
"Alright, if you have something to report, then withdraw.”Li Shi Min waved his hand.
The ministers were all smart people. They knew that the Emperor was very annoyed and quickly said in unison,"It's fine."
Soon after, the morning assembly ended on bad terms.
Only Wang Gui was left there to be beaten.
When Zhangsun Wuji left the court, he passed by Wang Gui. Wang Gui endured the pain and wailed,""Duke Qi, since His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't agree, why don't you betroth Ling Yuan to His Highness the King of Wei?？”
Wang Gui's words made Zhangsun Wuji even angrier!
Did he really think that no one wanted his daughter?
"Bah! Didn't you guys eat? Hit him hard!" Zhangsun Wuji berated the Golden Guards who were beating him up!
The Golden Guard's expression changed, and he couldn't help but increase his strength.
"Ouch, ouch, it hurts.”Wang Gui, who was in his sixties, suddenly felt that his tailbone was about to be flattened.
Fortunately, Li Shimin's anger gradually subsided after the court session ended. He changed Wang Gui's 50 strokes of the cane to 20 strokes of the cane, allowing Wang Gui to survive.
……
Zhangsun Manor.
Her eldest grandson Xue 'er was eating snacks with her mother in the back garden.
"Mother, this is the Imperial Concubine Red that this child personally made.”Xue 'er, the eldest grandson, picked up a piece of red pastry and handed it to her mother.
Madam Zhangsun took a sip and smiled.""This taste is really good. If you join the Eastern Palace in the future, the Crown Prince will definitely be impressed by your craftsmanship.
In the past, the Emperor loved your aunt's 'Fire Prawn Roast' and 'Tonghua Soft Cow Sausage' the most!”
Zhangsun Xue 'er quickly shook her head shyly.""Mother, don't say anymore. The matter with the Crown Prince is still uncertain.”
"How could it not be?" Madam Zhangsun asked. Your father and your aunt have discussed long ago that you will be married off to the Crown Prince, and your brother Zhangsun Chong will marry Princess Changle. "This is called adding kinship. It will also make the relationship between our family and the imperial family even closer!”
Madam Zhangsun's words made Zhangsun Xue 'er even more embarrassed.
However, she was happy in her heart.
Actually, under the influence of her parents, Zhangsun Xue 'er had long since determined that she would marry the Crown Prince.
After witnessing the Crown Prince's many abilities, the eldest grandson Xue 'er, who had originally held a high position, gradually lowered her stance.
She felt that if she could really marry into the Eastern Palace, it might really be a great thing!
As for whether she could marry into the family.
This was not something that Zhangsun Xue 'er would worry about.
After all, whether it was her family background, appearance, or talent, Eldest Sun Xue 'er thought that she was the top in Chang' an.
If Li Chengqian did not marry her, then he would be blind.
Just as Zhangsun Xue 'er and her mother were chatting happily, Zhangsun Wuji walked in with a cold expression!
