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

At this moment, the sky outside the window began to slowly turn white.

Before I knew it, it was the Mao hour.

Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin and nodded heavily.

She took out the dragon robe and changed Li Shimin's clothes with her own hands.

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, stood in front of the bronze mirror, and solemnly, dignifiedly, and carefully put the letter written by Qin Changye close to his body.

"Guanyin maid, I am leaving now."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he left the Lizheng Hall without looking back.

Jinying and Li Junxian, who were waiting in front of the door, hurried to follow.

Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin's back and let out a long sigh.

"Mr. Qin, you, you..."

"If there is no marriage, no indemnity, no land ceding, no tribute, the emperor will guard the country, and the king will die in the country."

“Okay, hahahaha…”

When Empress Chang Sun repeated this sentence again, she felt the blood in her body boiling. She stood up and clenched her fists, her heart surging with excitement.

When Li Shimin's back disappeared completely, Empress Changsun had the door closed.

"Oh my... I didn't expect His Majesty to have such a side. He cries so much, like a little woman."

She wants to change her clothes.

Just now, Li Shimin cried so hard that her entire back was soaked with tears.

…….……….….
main hall.

Li Tai glanced at Wei Ting, Chai Lingwu and others beside him.

He nodded slightly.

He went to court today.

This morning court session will be thoroughly recorded in the history books.

He was told what Wei Ting, Chai Lingwu and others had said yesterday. In addition to Princess Changle, the Turkic side wanted a few more princesses.

In this way, if this matter is pushed forward, it is bound to go down in history.

So, here he comes.

Li Tai rolled up his sleeves.

He must fight hard for the Turks, and when the time comes, the Turks will surely be extremely grateful to him.

"Your Highness, wait a moment. I will definitely cooperate with you to the best of my ability." Wei Ting said in a low voice.

"Yes, Your Highness, you don't need to worry. After all, the Turks are so powerful that they are unparalleled in the world. Our Tang Dynasty is no match for them. Your Majesty will definitely meet their demands." Chai Lingwu also said.

"Who says it's not true? By then, the Turks will definitely form the closest alliance with Your Highness. We will no longer have any worries. Even the Crown Prince and the King of Chu will not be our opponents!!"

Wei Ting agreed.

"That's right, the Turks are so powerful that they need our unstinting help!"

Chai Lingwu also said something later.

Li Tai let out a long breath, listened to what everyone said, and nodded with a smile.

Yesterday, when I proposed to marry Princess Changle, there was almost no resistance from my father and the court.

This time, if I ask myself and ask the Tang Dynasty to send a few more princesses or something, in order to establish a deeper connection with the Turks, I am sure that my father will not refuse.

This will be of great benefit to the world and to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Tai smiled lightly, feeling at ease.

This time, he must be clear and realize that he will definitely become another new miracle in the history of the Tang Dynasty and seize the throne with a weak force.

Hahaha…….
Li Tai smiled secretly.

Changsun Wuji glanced at Li Taiwei, Ting Chai Lingwu and others who were whispering to each other, and sighed in his heart.

Du Ruhui and others beside him also looked unhappy.

Although I don't know what they are talking about, I still feel a little uncomfortable about yesterday's marriage.

Although everyone knows that this marriage will bring endless benefits to the Tang Dynasty.

Yes… … .
but…….
Why…….
Thinking back to what happened yesterday when my daughter was crying and begging me to help with Changle, I felt even more depressed.

However, no matter how depressed they were, they knew that the matter was a done deal.

No one can change it.

The Turks all know about it.

How to change it?!

Could it be that...we really have to turn against the Turks completely?
Several people shook their heads.

Quietly waiting for His Majesty to ascend the throne.

When the eunuch said "Your Majesty has arrived", all the officials were shocked.

Look ahead.

Li Shimin has already walked up.

They were all a little surprised to see Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and others.

Although His Majesty is in good spirits, his complexion and bloodshot eyes look very ugly.

Could it be that something happened?
They were confused.

However, it’s not a good time to ask.

Why…….
I guess Your Majesty must be feeling very uncomfortable.

Several people lowered their heads.

I was also absent-minded during the morning court.

I just wanted to find a place to get drunk after this was over.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon throne and glanced at the officials below.

Li Tai, Wei Ting, Chai Lingwu and others all looked up at Li Shimin above them.

Everyone looked at each other.

"Is there anything going on during this morning's court session? If not, then we can leave."

Li Shimin waved his dragon robe and shouted loudly.

His voice was still a little hoarse from crying so hard.

It sounds quite majestic.

When Li Shimin said this, he certainly did not mean to withdraw from the court. The marriage had been agreed upon yesterday, but the court had not yet issued an edict. Wei Ting and others would certainly urge it today.

this matter.

Li Shimin was just waiting for them to bring it up themselves.

"Father, I have something to report."

However, Wei Ting and others had not yet stepped out, but Li Tai bowed and walked out first.

The eyes are bright.

Looks excited.

Even my hands were shaking a little.

When he thought about what he was going to say and the future consequences it would cause, he felt his blood boiling uncontrollably.

Li Shimin frowned, but relaxed again in an instant.

King Wei...
it is good! !

They are also my own children.

Last night, the King of Chu had already said everything he needed to say.

Now, it is the turn of the King of Wei or the Crown Prince.

I didn't expect that my children can see farther than I do, ah...
This situation... huh... From a side view, this can be considered as a result of my good teaching.

Hahaha…….
Li Shimin still felt somewhat relieved.

He thought that Li Tai would say something explosive like Qin Changye did and stop him from getting married.

"King of Wei?"

Li Shimin nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead."

Li Shimin looked at him with some expectation in his eyes.

But he overthought it.

When he heard Li Tai's words, he almost couldn't breathe and died right there.

"Father, yesterday Father agreed to the marriage and betrothed Changle to Jie Li Langya."

"This matter has caused great rejoicing throughout the world and has been praised by people. It is extremely important not only to our Great Tang, but also to the Turks!"

"From now on, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks will become one family. The Tang Dynasty can finally develop with peace of mind, without having to worry about the threat from the Turks."

"Here, I, your son, would like to congratulate you, father, for making such a correct decision."

"And now... I have another suggestion."

Li Tai said a lot in one breath, his voice was loud and clear, his facial features were like flying dragons and phoenixes, extremely excited. Wei Ting, Chai Lingwu and others looked at him approvingly from behind.

Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and the rest of the people also turned their heads and stared at Li Tai.

But his expression was a little solemn.

Li Shimin sat on it, his fists clenched.

"Say!"

His voice was low and trembling.

"Father, I beg you to do this. Since the marriage has already been concluded, why doesn't the Tang Dynasty send more princesses?"

"This is double happiness, it will surely be a great story. The Tang Dynasty and the Turks will surely be like fish and water, and no one can live without the other."

"At this time, our Tang Dynasty will enjoy eternal peace for thousands of years!!!"

"Father, what do you think?!"

After Li Tai finished speaking, his eyes were so excited that they seemed to be on fire.

He looked at Li Shimin with confidence on his face.

I guess other officials haven't thought of this proposal.

Even Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui probably didn't expect this.

Hahaha…….
Looking at my father, he has been shocked by my plan. I guess he will reward me soon.

Qin Changye, ah Qin Changye, and Prince, let's see how you are going to fight me this time!

Li Tai was feeling elated.

I felt like I was about to fly into the sky.

Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and others were all filled with fear.

Oh my God!
They were really frightened. They had never thought of sending a few more princesses to the Turks! ?
this…….
this…….
this…….
Those who don’t know might think that this is a poor family selling their daughter to pay off their debts.

Wei Ting, Chai Lingwu and others looked at each other and stepped out one after another.

"Yes, Your Majesty, since this matter has been confirmed, why not double the happiness and make peace with the Turks? Not only do we want peace, but we also want to completely wipe out the Turks!!"

"So many princesses have joined the Turks. This is truly the glory of our Tang Dynasty. The prosperity of our Tang Dynasty is just around the corner!!"

"Your Majesty, do not hesitate. Where can we find such a good thing? The Turks are powerful, but they are willing to make peace with our Tang Dynasty. We should be grateful!!"

Wei Ting laughed and said loudly.

"That's right, that's right, Your Majesty, I second the motion!" Chai Lingwu shouted, "Your Majesty, the world is in turmoil, but such things have happened in every dynasty. Our Tang Dynasty will go down in history!!"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei is right, and what the other gentlemen said is also right. I second the motion!!"

"Your Majesty, I second the motion! This is a great thing, it is really a lucky thing for our Tang Dynasty. Since the Turks agree, why should we disagree?!"

"I second your proposal...Sending a few more princesses over there will be enough to keep our Tang Dynasty going for a thousand years!"

"......."

All the gentlemen came out and shouted one by one.

They looked relaxed.

In their view, sending a few princesses would solve the threat posed by the Turks, so what was there to hesitate about?

A few women for peace.

Just agree to it!!

Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Qin Qiong and others all had sweat on their foreheads.

My back was also soaked.

this…….
They stared at Li Tai and the others, and were so shocked that they were completely speechless.

This group of people is really amazing!!
How can you even say such a thing?

but!

But they couldn't say anything to refute it!!

The final decision-making power on this matter lies in Li Shimin's hands.

They all looked at Li Shimin.

In the hall, there was sudden silence.

Li Shimin looked down at them.

His fingers gently tapped the dragon throne.

No words were spoken.

But those two pairs of blood-red eyes seemed to be covered with frost at this moment.

King of Wei, Li Tai!!

How could they say such things?

Send more princesses to the Turks!
Just to exchange for a day of peace.

that's nice!

Bull hide!!
Li Shimin originally felt that it was shameful enough for him to be a foreign marriage candidate, and after being scolded by the King of Chu last night, he wished he could crawl into a hole in the ground.

But, this group of people...actually thought one was not enough and sent one more!
No, not just one, but several!!
Great!

It’s really amazing!
If I had not been awakened by the scolding of the King of Chu yesterday, who knows, I would have done something foolish today, and thus, I would have been infamous for eternity and become a disgrace to this land!!!

"Your Majesty, what do you think? Are you surprised by this plan?"

Seeing that Li Shimin had remained silent, Wei Ting couldn't help but raise his voice a little and shouted again.

"hiss……."

Li Shimin took a deep breath.

He looked at the guys.

"I often wonder about one question. If I... die, King Wei, will you... secretly give away all my Tang Dynasty foundation? Well, is it true or not?"

Li Shimin stared at Li Tai.

The back is slightly arched.

His facial features were ferocious.

It was as if he wanted to kill Li Tai alive.

His voice was not high.

However, it was hoarse with a bloodthirsty tone, and everyone shuddered violently, with horror on their faces.

Upon hearing this, Li Tai's habit of being afraid of Li Shimin since childhood was fully demonstrated at this moment. He was a little at a loss and subconsciously knelt on the ground.

"Father, how is this possible!"

He said in a clear voice: "Father, your son's starting point is for the safety of the Tang Dynasty, for the country of the Tang Dynasty!!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Highness the Prince of Wei, this is also for the sake of the court!"

Wei Ting shouted repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei cares about the world and the people. I think he is right!" Chai Lingwu quickly agreed.

"Bullshit!"

Li Shimin roared.

This time, in an instant, the hall became like an ice cellar.

All the air froze together.

The pupils of all officials suddenly contracted.

"His Majesty!!"

Hulala…….
The emperor was furious and all officials knelt down.

Zhangsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and others also knelt down.

The guards, eunuchs, and palace maids on both sides also knelt down.

I dare not look at Li Shimin.

"You all... have such a good idea, using the girls of the Great Tang Dynasty to win the hearts of the Turks!"

"You... ask yourselves, are you... qualified to serve as an official of the Tang Dynasty and help me govern the ten regions of the world? Hmm?!"

At this moment, Li Shimin's eyes were like an eagle's, as if they could kill people.

Sweeping every corner of the hall fiercely.

It was as if something had awakened inside his body.

After seeing this scene, Li Shimin really understood everything.

I finally understood why Qin Changye was so angry.

compromise!

Give in!
What we got in return was not peace, but more and more excessive demands from the other side! !

A marriage alliance can bring peace of mind for a day, but when the sun rises, you will see them coming again!!
At that time, we will have to give in and compromise, and maybe it won’t be a marriage of peace next time.

Instead, he would exchange it for the entire Tang Dynasty! !
At this moment, Li Shimin finally understood how important what Li Kuan said was.
