In the imperial garden of the Tang Palace.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the silver light scattered all over the floor tiles.
Ying Che and Li Shi Min walked in the middle, not speaking to each other.
"Ying Che, you surprised me!”
"Changle is my beloved daughter. If it weren't for the alliance between Qin and Tang, I wouldn't want him to marry you."”
"Especially when I found out that you were ranked last on the Noble Roll, I was even more dissatisfied.”
"It's human nature. If I had a daughter, I wouldn't want her to marry someone I don't like.”
Ying Che smiled, his face calm.
"Hahaha!" Li Shi Min laughed for a while, then stopped laughing and looked at Ying Che with appreciation.
"It's good that you can understand me. As a father, why wouldn't he want his daughter to marry an outstanding person?”
"Let's not talk about this for now. I have a question to ask you now. You can tell me the truth.”
Ying Che knew what Li Shiming wanted to ask, so he asked directly,""Is it the same problem as the Mercy Boathouse?”
"That's right, you're not wrong."
"The position of the Crown Prince of Qin State has been vacant for a long time, and your father Ying Zheng has yet to appoint a Crown Prince. Ying Che, are you not interested in the position of the Crown Prince of Qin State?”
Li Shi Min stared at Ying Che with his fierce eyes. His eyes seemed to be able to see through any thoughts.
"Back then, before the coup of Xuanwu Sect, was Your Majesty interested in the position of Emperor of Tang?”Ying Che asked.
"Hahaha." Li Shi Min burst into laughter, his eyes suddenly turning cold. He rushed towards Ying Che with the imposing aura of an emperor and said coldly,
"Ying Che, do you know that the incident at the Xuanwu Gate is a taboo in the Tang Empire? No official of the Tang Empire has ever dared to mention it in front of me.”
"Ying Che is not a subject of the Great Tang!" Ying Che said calmly without fear.
"Haha, very good, very good!" Li Shi Min restrained his overbearing aura and patted Ying Che's shoulder affectionately,"
"If you want to become the Crown Prince of Great Qin, if you have any requests in the future, We can do our best to help you.”
Smart people didn't need to be too straightforward. When Li Shiming heard Ying Che mention the incident at Black Tortoise Gate, he understood that Ying Che was interested in the Crown Prince of Great Qin.
This answer was not unexpected to Li Shiming.
If Ying Che really wasn't interested in the position of Crown Prince, he wouldn't have to hide his strength in Qin and improve his talent and martial strength for a long time.
Moreover, after Ying Che revealed his talent and martial arts in the Yonghe Temple, he was shocked.
Li Shiming gradually realized that he and the other Great Tang officials were testing Ying Che, and Ying Che was also testing him to show his strength.
If Ying Che really didn't want to show himself, there were too many ways to refuse.
One could imagine.
If Ying Che's news was sent back to the Great Qin Empire, it would definitely cause an uproar in the court, and Ying Zheng would take it seriously.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ying Che smiled faintly and didn't reject Li Shiming's good intentions.
Even though Li Shi Min's kindness was dispensable to him, the fact that he was able to make a promise to him as an emperor showed his concern for him.
"Your Majesty?" Li Shi Min glared at Ying Che, pretending to be angry.
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
Ying Che didn't feel any pressure calling Li Shiming father-in-law. After all, Li Shiming was a legendary emperor, not to mention that Changle was his unwed wife.
"This father-in-law sounds comfortable!"
Li Shi Min stroked his beard and smiled. He pondered for a moment and said,
"I didn't think it through when the incident at the Yonghe Temple happened tonight!”
"If it weren't for your extraordinary martial arts, I'm afraid that the alliance between Qin and Tang would have encountered some setbacks.”
"In order to express my apology, I will present 3,000 Dark Night Bright Light Armor, 3,000 Mo Sabers, and many secret techniques in the gift list that was originally sent to Great Qin!”
The promise he made to Ying Che earlier was a personal compensation.
This was a Mysterious Martial Weapon given to Great Qin as an apology for the Turks.
"Che 'er, in three months, I will send a diplomatic mission to the Great Tang to bring Fengguang of Changle to Great Qin to marry you.
"At that time, Changle will be your wife. I don't want her to be affected by Great Qin's political situation or be in danger from your political enemies.”
Li Shi Min's subtext was to let Ying Che gain a firm foothold in the Great Qin Dynasty Hall and control power. Ying Che nodded and said,
"Father-in-law, don't worry. Ying Che will protect Changle and won't let her suffer any harm!”
"I hope you can do it!"
Li Shi Min nodded,
"If you return to the State of Qin, your father, Ying Zheng, will definitely list you as a candidate to be the Crown Prince.
If I'm not wrong, the test will definitely be between the Xiongnu, the remnants of the six dynasties, the Hundred Schools of Power, and the three difficult problems of governing the country. You'd better be mentally prepared and not disappoint him.”
Ying Che naturally knew what Li Shi Min was talking about.
After the two of them had a secret conversation, Li Shiming held back his curiosity as he watched Ying Che's figure disappear into the distance.
How strong was Ying Che's martial arts? How much was he hiding?
The Noble Ranking on the Golden Ranking was too much of a scam. It didn't accurately judge Ying Che's potential and strength.
Perhaps the next ranking would reveal more of Ying Che's background.
Li Shi Min had a feeling that the next ranking would be even higher, and Ying Che would definitely be on it.
........
Five days later.
Ying Che led Great Qin's diplomatic group back to Great Qin.
On this day, the people of Chang 'an City lined the streets to send each other off. The whole city was chanting the Spring River Moonlit Night.
Li Shimin sent Crown Prince Li Chengqian and the civil and military officials to send him off.
On the city wall of Chang 'an, Li Lizhi looked at Ying Che's carriage, her eyes full of longing and reluctance.
Far away from Chang 'an's city gate, two beautiful women were also staring at the departing carriage with different expressions.
At the same time.
Everything that happened to Ying Che in the Tang Palace was sent back to the Xianyang Palace of the Great Qin Dynasty through secret memorials, and to Ying Zheng, who was holding the court meeting.
