Zhangsun Wugou's words made Li Shiming very unhappy. He frowned and said,"The auxiliary army is contributing to the country. This is a loyal act and will definitely become a good story.”
"Lizhi is my daughter, the Eldest Princess of the Great Tang. Naturally, she has to bear the responsibility of enjoying the honor!”
"That Young Master Qin, Fu Su, is the son of the King of Qin, the future King of Qin. If I don't let Lizhi marry him, do you think I can find a random princess?”
"Then there's no need to talk about the alliance.”
The bolder a ruler was, the less he would care about personal matters when it came to national interests.
Just like the King of Qin Ying Zheng.
He had chosen to send his most favored son to the Tang Empire through marriage, just to form an alliance with the Tang Empire and obtain the ironware and equipment of the Tang Empire.
Li Shi Min was the same. For the future of the Great Tang, he chose to let his beloved daughter marry into the distant Qin.
This was the temperament of a ruler!
Hearing Li Shiming's words, Zhangsun Wugou was speechless and could only sigh.
The children of the royal family had always had no choice in marriage.
Not to mention the members of the royal family, even the children of the great clans could not make their own decisions in this regard.
Seeing his beloved wife like this, Li Shimin felt a little guilty, so he comforted her,
"I have sent people to investigate. Young Master Qin, Fu Su, is a generous and kind person. His character and appearance are excellent. He has a good reputation in the court.”
"In another ten days, the Qin diplomatic mission will arrive in Chang 'an.”
"I won't forget the cost of the auxiliary machines.”
Li Shimin had only proposed the marriage after investigating Fu Su.
If Fu Su was extremely unbearable in all aspects, he would not have agreed to such a marriage. After all, a marriage alliance was also related to the country's reputation.
As for the Zhangsun Clan's sacrifice, he would naturally remember it.
Hearing this, Zhangsun Wugou finally relaxed.
……
Outside the Eldest Princess's residence.
A gorgeous carriage was parked at the entrance. The eye-catching Eastern Palace token hung on the carriage, showing the noble status of the owner of the carriage.
In the backyard of the manor, there were two people focused on playing chess.
They were a young man in a bright yellow python robe and a beautiful young girl in a plain dress.
"Sigh, I lost again."
The young man stared at the chessboard for a long time before he finally threw the chess piece back into the box and sighed dejectedly.
The black dragon on the chessboard flew into the sky, and the white dragon was defeated.
"Big brother, your chess skills have regressed too much.”
The girl in the plain dress smiled and covered her mouth,""Let's play another round. I'll give you two stones.”
The young man rolled his eyes and said,""You're already a big shot, how can you bully big brother like this?”
"I won't play anymore, I won't play anymore.”
It wasn't that his chess skills weren't good, but that the girl in front of him was too strong.
The eldest daughter of the King of Tang had been very intelligent since she was a child. At the age of ten, she was familiar with the Four Books, at the age of thirteen, she was familiar with the Five Classics, at the age of fourteen, she entered chess, and at the age of seventeen, she defeated all the national players in the capital.
The girl in plain dress was Princess Chang Le.
The young man in the python robe who was playing chess with her was none other than the son of the Tang Emperor, the Crown Prince's heir apparent, Li Chengqian!
Hearing that Li Chengqian wasn't going to play anymore, Li Lizhi lost interest and said lightly,""In that case, Brother Wang, please return.”
"Didn't father ask you to enter the royal study to participate in politics? I'm sure you must be busy, so I won't stay.”
Li Chengqian:
Are you going to chase me away if I don't play chess with you?!
After taking a deep breath to suppress the depression in his heart, Li Chengqian said seriously,"Lizhi, I'm here today because of the marriage.”
"Tell Eldest Brother the truth, are you really willing to marry to the State of Qin and that Young Master Qin, Fu Su?”
Li Chengqian looked at Li Lizhi and asked seriously.
Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Lizhi had the same mother, and they were the closest siblings.
He had a bad relationship with Li Tai, but he doted on his little sister Li Lizhi. He was the first to object to Li Lizhi's marriage with Qin.
In his view, how noble and outstanding was his younger sister? How could she marry into a barren land like the Qin country?
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Lizhi's expression did not change as she kept the chess pieces one by one.
"What difference does it make whether I'm willing or not?”
"As a member of the royal family, marriage cannot be decided by oneself. To me, marrying Chong Biaoge is no different from marrying to the Qin country.”
Li Lizhi said indifferently.
However, Li Chengqian was a little anxious when he heard this. He said,"You will definitely suffer if you go to a remote and desolate place like the Qin country.”
"I don't know what kind of person Young Master Qin Fusu is. He can't be compared with Huaiyuan.”
Huaiyuan was Zhangsun Chong's surname.
At this point, Li Chengqian said to Li Lizhi with a serious expression,"As long as you are unwilling, then big brother can go and beg father to let him change the marriage candidate.”
"Our Great Tang is a majestic kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and the only one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with our Great Tang is the Great Han!”
"It is already the honor of the Qin country to be able to marry the princess of the Great Tang. Why should I let you lower yourself?”
Li Chengqian's tone was filled with pride.
However, his words were not unreasonable. The difference between Qin and Tang was simply too great.
"Pa-!"
With a crisp sound, Li Lizhi closed the box and looked at Li Chengqian with a frown.
"Big brother, do you know why father always reprimands you from time to time? It's because you're too impulsive and arrogant. You don't think before you do anything.”
"In this aspect, Second Brother is more than ten times better than you.”
Hearing Li Lizhi compare Li Tai to himself, Li Chengqian was instantly displeased."What's so amazing about the Qin country, did I say anything wrong?”
"Big mistake!"
Li Lizhi shook her head and said,""Although the Qin Country is barren, its army is extremely strong. The Qin Country's infantry is invincible!”
"The King of Qin, Ying Zheng, was wise and courageous. He was the overlord of a generation and ended the civil strife in Qin.
They had Wei Yang, Zhang Yi, Li Si, Su Qin, and other wise ministers to govern the country. Wu has Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Meng Tian and other famous generals, with 800,000 troops!”
"The Turks are a headache for the Great Tang, but the Qin State is facing the even more powerful Xiongnu. They were located at the border, and their national strength had become stronger and stronger over the years!”
"None of their six generations of kings were fatuous!”
"How can our Great Tang underestimate a country like this?”
Li Lizhi looked at Li Chengqian calmly. Her words made him speechless.
Only now did Li Chengqian discover that he indeed did not understand the State of Qin too well. The State of Qin was far more powerful than he imagined.
After a moment of silence, Li Chengqian sighed and said,"I just…don't want you to marry someone you don't want to marry.”
This was the favor and importance an elder brother had for his younger sister. There was no selfishness.
Li Lizhi smiled faintly when she heard that. She was beautiful and moving.
"How would Big Brother know that I'm really willing to marry Big Brother Chong? It's just your wishful thinking."
"I've said it before, it doesn't matter to me who I marry.”
Li Chengqian raised his head in shock.
Li Lizhi had already stood up and walked out of the garden. Her exquisite figure was bathed in the sun, beautiful and beautiful.
She had been intelligent since she was a child and knew what the fate of the royal family was.
At the very least, it was not up to her to marry, so she never objected to her father and mother's arrangements for her marriage.
She looked up at the blue sky and narrowed her eyes slightly.
What kind of person was Young Master Qin, Fu Su?
I hope it's not too boring.
