Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

Chang'an,

royal palace,

In Tai Chi Hall,

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, everyone except Li Daozon and Li Xiaogong who knew the situation were all confused.

"Wang De, bring up the gifts I prepared for the Turkic envoys." Li Shimin said with a smile on his face.

"Yes." As Li Shimin's number one follower, Wang De had already prepared everything.

He then came to Zhilisili holding a square box and said with a smile: "Hello, envoy. Please accept the gift that His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty prepared for you."

Zhilisi said to Li Shimin: "This envoy is here on behalf of Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan to thank His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair with a smile on his face, and said with interest: "Messenger, why don't you open the box and see what gift I gave you?"

Zhili Sili nodded and happily opened the box. When he saw what was inside, he took two steps back tremblingly, pointing his finger at Li Shimin and unable to speak.

"Is the envoy quite satisfied with my gift?" Li Shimin said with a smile, but this smile was no different from that of a devil.

Zhilisili could hardly believe his eyes. The head of the young Khan, Jie Li Khan's son, Die Luozhi was actually in the box.

At this time, Changsun Wuji said angrily: "How dare you disrespect your majesty. Please order your majesty to detain the Turkic envoy in the Tianlao Prison and retry him on another day."

Li Shimin said: "OK."

The imperial guards then entered the court, subdued him in an instant, and led him out of the court.

"Last night, I received a victory report from Jingyang. Twenty thousand Turkic troops were preparing to attack Jingyang, but were completely wiped out by our Tang army. The leader, Jie Li Khan's son, Die Luozhi, has been beheaded." Li Shimin said.

Feng Deyi stood up and said, "But your majesty, the Turkic army claims to have a million troops this time, but in fact they only have 200,000 soldiers and horses. If the Turkic Khan Jie Li knew about this and showed Die Luozhi's head to Zhilisili, he would probably not let it go!"

Li Shimin asked: "What do you think about this matter?"

"I think the culprit who beheaded Dieluzhi should be handed over to Jie Li Khan for punishment. This will help to calm Jie Li Khan's anger." Feng Deyi's words won the approval of many people.

Especially the group of Confucian scholars, led by Kong Yingda, after all, in their philosophy, harmony is the most important thing. They all seconded the proposal.

"Fuck them." Cheng Zhijie rolled up his sleeves and wanted to rush forward and punch each of those people.

Qin Qiong quickly pulled Cheng Zhijie, and Li Xiaogong also helped: "Don't worry, your majesty is a wise ruler, it won't happen." Li Xiaogong knew very well that Zheng Zhengjin killed 20,000 people easily. He still thinks that it's too exaggerated.

The people of the Five Surnames and Seven Clans are all waiting and watching. Anyway, it doesn't matter to them whether the country is destroyed or not. They are aristocratic families. Dynasties come and go, but aristocratic families remain forever. This is not just talk.

Wei Zheng thought that Li Shimin was about to be persuaded, so he immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this is the behavior of a tyrant. Your Majesty must not listen to the slander of treacherous people."

Li Shimin had actually already made a note of Feng Deyi in his heart. After all, Feng Deyi was really a good guy. If he really did that, I'm afraid Zheng Zhengjin would stab him in the first place.

"Shut up, everyone. Do you treat the court as a vegetable market?" Li Shimin angrily slammed the dragon table, scaring the ministers below to bow their heads.

Pei Ji then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think we can follow the previous dynasty's policy of marriage. Of course, the daughter of a royal family can also be accepted."

Li Dao Zong immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have a good suggestion." Li Shimin smiled and said, "Please tell me what you suggest, my dear minister."

"Lord Pei just mentioned a marriage alliance. I happen to know that Lord Pei has a legitimate granddaughter who has just reached the age of marriage and is very beautiful. Your Majesty can consider it." Li Daozon was not afraid of offending Pei Ji. Besides, Pei Ji had made his goal so clear. Didn't he just think that his daughter was a member of the royal family?
Pei Ji was numb.

Li Daozon's move made his head buzz.

Pei Ji didn't actually say that he needed Li Xueyan to marry, but he said everything. In the court, only Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong were members of the royal family, and Li Xiaogong obviously didn't meet the requirements. So only Li Daozong was left.

Li Shimin held back his laughter, and his beard kept shaking.

"Lord Pei, what do you think?" Li Shimin asked.

Cold sweat began to drip down Pei Ji's forehead. He struggled and said, "Your Majesty, my granddaughter has been spoiled since she was a child and has a domineering personality. Therefore, I think it is inappropriate."

"Okay, let's end this matter here. As for the marriage, the Turkic princess is worthy of my Tang Dynasty." It was obvious that Li Shimin's words showed his contempt for Pei Ji.

"Keming, Hou Junji, Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, you guys arrange for the people to guard the city gates. Also, if anyone in the city dares to spread rumors or cause trouble, arrest them and punish them severely. Do you understand?" After Li Shimin finished speaking, he said again: "Dismiss the court."

At this time, Wei Zheng became anxious. He wanted to say to Li Shimin, today's important events have not been decided yet, why did you adjourn the court?

Li Daozon immediately pulled Wei Zheng and walked out of the hall, as they had already adjourned the court session.

When they got outside, Li Daozong whispered in Wei Zheng's ear: "Zheng's son, yesterday he single-handedly killed 20,000 Turkic soldiers and horses. Wherever he passed, the soldiers and horses were shattered. And today, he will kill his way to the Wei River, so he is your majesty's trump card, you just need to know this."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for telling me." Wei Zheng was shocked. If this was the case, it must be the work of immortals. No wonder His Majesty had to hide it from his ministers.

Afterwards, Wei Zheng parted ways with Li Daozon and others.

On the way back, Wei Zheng thought about it and felt that there was a problem, so he went to the palace to meet Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was happy to meet Wei Zheng.

"Xuancheng, what's the matter?" In the imperial study, Li Shimin was handling government affairs at the moment.

Wei Zheng said, "Your Majesty, I impeach Feng Deyi. He proposed that the Tang Dynasty hand over the son-in-law to the Turks in exchange for peace. He wants to put Your Majesty in an unjust position and put the Tang Dynasty in dire straits. Your Majesty, please treat this matter with caution."

"Xuancheng, I now know about this old guy Feng Deyi. Don't worry, I know my limits and will never disappoint the meritorious officials of the Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin said solemnly.

"In that case, I will take my leave." Wei Zheng bowed and left the imperial study.

Li Shimin patted his chest and felt relieved after seeing Wei Zheng leave. He thought to himself: "I was scared to death. I thought he was here to scold me. So that's it."

At this moment, the Turkic army of 200,000 was stationed on the north bank of the Wei River, a huge crowd.
Jie Li Khan looked at Chang'an City with greedy eyes. He wanted to rule the Central Plains and coveted its wealth.

He asked a general in the tent, "Dieluozhi hasn't arrived yet? Didn't the Khan give him 10,000 elite soldiers? He can't even capture a small Jingyang? Isn't he a waste?"

Ashina said, "Khan, I don't know either."

Jie Li Khan said: "Take 10,000 elite troops to attack from the south gate of Jingyang. After entering the city, massacre the inhabitants and leave no one alive."

Ashina replied, "Yes, Khan." Then he left the tent and went to inspect the troops.
