Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

"My Prince Wei's Mansion is your home, Your Highness. You can come as you like. You... serve Your Highness well."

Li Tai also did not forget to give instructions to the two Tang Dynasty singers beside Jie Li Langya.

"Hahaha, good! Good, good, good!"

The Turkic prince laughed loudly.

"Your Highness, I'm sure all the generals have worked hard on this journey. Come, come, let's drink this cup first to welcome you all."

An official was sitting in a side seat, holding a glass of wine, and said with a smile.

"Wait, don't worry about drinking, King Wei, Princess Changle, do you know?"

Jie Li Lang Ya held the wine glass and glanced at Li Tai beside him.

Li Tai was slightly stunned, but then he nodded repeatedly and said, "I know her. She is my elder sister."

Really? That’s easy.”

Jie Li Lang Ya suddenly perked up and sat up straighter.

"What's wrong? Your Highness, did Changle do something to make you angry? Don't worry, I will bring her here tomorrow and will definitely apologize to Your Highness."

Li Tai said quickly.

"No, no, no, there's no need to apologize. What I want you to do is to send her to me. Hmm, how about that? Not difficult, right?"

Jie Li Lang Ya showed an evil smile at the corner of his mouth.

There was boundless desire in his eyes.

When Li Tai heard this, his eyebrows trembled slightly, but after a few breaths, a bright smile appeared on his face.

"This... I really never thought that His Royal Highness would fall in love with Changle. Great, great, if Changle can serve His Royal Highness in the future, it will definitely be her blessing. I agree, of course I agree."

Li Tai's eyes became deep, like a fox hiding a specific meaning.

Next to him, his think tank Wei Ting and several other people glanced at each other and there were smiles in their eyes.

It would be great if we could serve the Turks well and send Changle away if he was not on their side.

Immediately, everyone started to offer suggestions.

"Your Highness, it is Princess Changle's blessing to be in your eyes. However, Changle is a princess of the Tang Dynasty after all. If you want to use tricks like kidnapping her, it may be a bit difficult." Wei Ting said in a deep voice.

"That's right. We still have to think about this matter carefully and come up with a way to allow His Royal Highness the Prince to visit Princess Changle at any time without any obstacles or troubles."

"After all, kidnapping is a risky method that is not worth it. If it is discovered, it will bring trouble to His Royal Highness the Prince."

Chai Lingwu echoed softly.

Jie Li Lang Ya also nodded and said, "I don't know, is there any way?"

Jie Li Liuming drank up the wine in the glass, his rough face full of confusion.

He couldn't think of any plan that could allow Princess Changle to serve Jie Li Langya anytime and anywhere.

It's okay to ask him to kill enemies and fight, but it's a bit difficult for him to think of this method.

The Turks all looked at Li Tai, and Chai Lingwu Wei supported them.

"Oh, I remember now. This time His Highness Langya has also come to our Tang Dynasty. Why don't we... file a petition with the court, saying that he wants to make peace with our Tang Dynasty and marry Princess Changle."

"So... when Princess Changle follows His Royal Highness the Prince to the grassland, won't it be..."

Wei Ting's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was also surprised by his own idea.

He slammed the table so hard that it almost broke.

That's great!
This method is really amazing!!
After these words were spoken, everyone around took a breath and then nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, this method is good, this method is good, hahahaha... In this way, Princess Changle can only be a bird in the cage of His Majesty Langya from now on."

"That's right. Moreover, Li Shimin has no reason not to agree to this request. He will definitely agree to it!!"

"Yes, that's right. The Turks are powerful. Li Shimin dare not act rashly. Even if he is unwilling, he has to admit it!!"

They said with some excitement.

Li Tai also nodded heavily.

"Correct!"

He narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "Your Highness, I wonder...what do you think of this idea?"

After being silent for a few breaths, Jie Li Lang Ya grinned and raised the wine glass in his hand high.

"Okay, hahahaha... In that case, let's follow the plan of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei and everyone else."

"Come, have a drink. This prince is waiting for you to send Princess Changle to me!!"

Jie Li Lang Ya shouted loudly.

Wei Ting and others who were a little nervous and waiting for Jie Li Langya's reply, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing these words. The worried smiles on their faces immediately became extremely bright and relaxed.

"Come on, come on, Your Highness, drink, drink, drink!!"

"Yes, yes, yes. If our Turkic side needs anything this time, please feel free to tell us. We will help in any way we can."

"Yes, yes, we are all family, there is no need to be polite. Come on, General Liu Ming, I toast to you!!"

Wei Ting and Chai Lingwu also spoke politely.

Jie Li Liuming and Jie Li Langya both laughed a few times, then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Okay, everyone's words are enough!!"

"This time, we Turks will probably want a lot of things."

Jie Li Liuming said, his fingers gently rubbing the wine glass: "More than the previous years, your Great Tang Emperor may not agree, I really need your help."

"No problem, leave it all to me!"

Wei Ting replied.

Although it was not the host who replied, the natural look on Li Tai's face next to him obviously touched his heart.

Everyone exchanged cups.

They began to discuss the tribute that the Turks needed this time.

…….…….…….
Du Fu.

Princess Changle and others were sitting in the back garden, looking a little panicked and frightened.

"Damn Turks! Sooner or later, my Tang Dynasty will lead a large army to defeat the Turks! Kill them all!!"

Li Junxian took a deep breath and growled angrily.

After receiving the news from Suzaku Street, he was sent by Li Shimin to personally protect Princess Changle.

With him was a little kid named Xiao Sizi.

"Yes, yes! Kill them all. They dared to tease me!"

Little Sizi hummed twice and continued to demonstrate his mediocre boxing skills.

The originally serious atmosphere was ruined by this little idiot's antics.

"Little sister, you, you are so young, but you keep talking about fighting and killing all the time. Really."

Princess Changle chuckled, then hugged little Sizi in her arms, tapping his little head with her fingers.

"Wow, sister, you've been wronged! Sizi can't stand it!"

Little Sizi pouted, feeling very aggrieved.

"It's okay, it's okay, sister."

Princess Changle felt very warm in her heart, and she put her face next to little Sizi's face and rubbed it continuously.

"It's you, you didn't sleep well this morning, did you? Go back and get some sleep."

"But, but but, sister..."

"Ok?"

Princess Changle pretended to be angry.

Little Sizi didn't realize it and was frightened at once. He quickly said that he was listening to his elder sister, and then he was taken away by Li Junxian and several palace servants.

Before leaving, Xiao Sizi did not forget to look back at her elder sister every five steps, with a worried look on her face. But in the end, she left.

After Xiao Sizi left, they were able to talk freely.

Fang Miaozhu sat down gently beside Princess Changle and grabbed her hands.

"Your Highness, don't worry. The man on Suzaku Street just now, including his followers, are just a group of Turkic barbarians. At most, they made some arrogant remarks. This is Chang'an, and we cannot tolerate them to act wildly."

Fang Miaozhu comforted.

Princess Changle smiled slightly and nodded.

Seemingly not taking it to heart.

But for some reason, deep down in her heart, she felt uneasy.

Thinking of the arrogance and arrogance of the Turks, she felt uncomfortable.

This is Chang'an.

Not Turkic.

But they actually dared to do this... This is a blatant slap in the face of the Tang Dynasty!

Princess Changle took a deep breath, nodded, smiled at Fang Miaozhu, and said, "Miaozhu, Changle is fine. Changle is the princess of the Tang Dynasty. They dare not do anything to Changle, and the emperor will not agree."

She said.

Fang Miaozhu nodded repeatedly and replied, "Yes, that's right. I didn't expect the Turks to be so arrogant. They don't take our Tang Dynasty seriously at all. I really don't know when our Tang Dynasty will be able to counterattack."

Fang Miaozhu sighed.

Speaking of this issue, there is some silence in the garden.

In their hearts, they really hope that the imperial court can be like the Han Dynasty and conquer the Wolf and the Lair.

Yes… … .
too difficult!
In other words, it’s already very early.

This year, the Tang Dynasty barely survived a locust plague, and the treasury had long been empty. Now the Turks are coming to collect this year's tribute.

To make matters worse!

Everyone lowered their heads.

Worry about the country.

At the same time, I am also worried about the people of the world.

They hate!
I hate that I’m a girl and can’t go on the battlefield to kill the enemy.

They sat for a while and then went home.

The good mood I had for shopping today is completely gone.

All are melancholy.

…….……….….
Prince Wei's Mansion.

Jie Li Lang Ya and Jie Li Liu Ming both opened their eyes with hazy eyes.

The two of them had drunk almost three jars of wine.

The two of them could be said to have completely let go. The prosperity of Chang'an still far exceeded that of the grassland.

This wine!

This dish!

And these dancers!

Each one makes them want more!!

"Okay, we will present everything the respected Turkish guest said to your majesty. In order to show our respect for the Turks and our welcome to your Highness, we will add 30% to the tribute from the Tang Dynasty!"

"Although it's not much, but to make the distinguished Turkic guests happy, we are already extremely satisfied."

Wei Ting said with a grin.

"Yes, this 30% is an additional amount given after we discussed with His Royal Highness the King of Wei."

Chai Lingwu also nodded.

"Hahaha, okay, okay."

Jie Li Lang Ya opened his hazy eyes, his speech was already a little unclear, and he continued: "Still...still you are filial, Li Tai, you...you are very kind, when I inherit the position of Khan, I will definitely make you...make you the Khan, hahahaha..."

Jie Li Lang Ya shouted loudly.

When Li Tai heard this, he showed no sadness or joy, and his face was calm.

This was mainly because Jie Li Langya and Jie Li Liuming were both drunk and could not see him clearly, whereas if Li Tai were sober, he would have looked extremely excited.

"Well, it's getting late, Your Highness, let's go back."

Jie Li Liuming patted his head and continued, "Li Tai, are the places you have prepared for us ready?"

"It's settled. I'll send someone to take you back." Li Tai said with a smile.

"it is good!"

Jie Li Lang Ya struggled to stand up.

He reached out and pinched the chins of the two dancers serving him, and said with a smile: "Li Tai, I'll take these two back."

“Right…right, Li Tai, your sister is…Gudong…Princess Changle. Hurry up and arrange for her to be taken care of for me. This prince can’t wait any longer. Hahahaha!”

After saying that, Jie Li Lang Ya staggered out.

Jie Li Liuming and other Turkic people followed one after another.

Li Tai followed behind, bowed, and said loudly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, don't worry, I'm sure everything will be arranged properly. You all have a good rest, and there will be a reply tomorrow."

"Hahaha……."

Jie Li Lang Ya raised his head and laughed loudly. He walked out of the Prince of Wei's mansion feeling extremely comfortable, got on the carriage and left.

Li Tai stood at the door and looked in the direction where the carriage left, his eyes slightly narrowed, with a dangerous light in them.

"Jie Li Lang Ya came to my residence today. I'm afraid that my father and the others all know about it. Hehe... So what if they know?"

"Isn't Li Kuan also eyeing the throne in his own way? I just adopted another method to make father pay more attention to me."

Li Tai laughed happily.

Wei Ting beside him nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness, Jie Li Langya has arrived today. I'm sure the Five Surnames and Seven Families all know about it. We can start our plan now."

"It's getting late, Your Highness. I want to go to them now."

Li Tai waved his hand.

"Go ahead, Li Chengqian. We don't need the power of the Five Surnames and Seven Families. Let them serve me, Li Tai."

After saying this, he went back to sleep without even looking at it, supported by his servants.

Wei Ting and Chai Lingwu got on the carriage and headed towards the Li family villa in Longxi.

Li Tai openly agreed to the Turkic gifts, but his words were not enough to convince Li Shimin to agree as well, so he needed to unite the forces of the officials of the Five Surnames and Seven Families, and wait until the morning court tomorrow to cooperate in getting Li Shimin to agree.

…….…….…….
The Longxi Li family is in charge of the palace.

The heads of the Longxi Li family, the Qinghe Cui family, the Xingyang Zheng family and others had already been waiting here after hearing the news.

When Wei Ting and Chai Lingwu arrived, all three family heads were there.

The three of them took their seats.

"I can't believe, haha, that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei would have such ambitions."

The head of the Longxi Li family said with a smile.

When the Turks entered the Prince of Wei's mansion in the afternoon, the Five Surnames and Seven Clans were also confused and were about to send people to inquire about the situation, but then people from the Prince of Wei's mansion came over.

He told them that Li Tai also wanted the throne and needed their help.

He also promised that when Li Tai ascended the throne, the power of the Five Surnames and Seven Aristocrats would reach an unprecedented peak.
