People in the Tang Dynasty, Jian'an style

The military generals, on the other hand, just stood there watching the fun with their shoulders crossed. They had no say in what was happening in the court unless there was a war to be fought. That was when they had the chance to show their skills.

Li Yuan was also torn between the opinions of the two groups. In fact, he also had his own plans. After repelling the invasion of the Turks, the internal situation of the Tang Dynasty was what worried him most.

If they wanted to deal with the Turks, they would still have to rely on Qin Wang Li Shimin, but in this way, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng's strategy of suppressing Li Shimin would be useless.

But if the marriage is to be arranged, what Fang Xuanling said is very reasonable. The Turks have always been afraid of power but not virtue. If we agree to the marriage now, it will be seen as a sign of weakness in the eyes of others.

It will not only encourage the arrogance of the Turks, but also damage the reputation of the Tang Dynasty.

As a proud emperor, Li Yuan would never want to exchange his daughter for peace.

Just when he was hesitating, the eunuch outside the palace suddenly came in and reported that King Qi Li Wenbin wanted to see him.

"Let him in!" Li Shimin said, suppressing his doubts.

As soon as Li Wenbin and his companions entered the hall, they immediately frightened all the civil and military officials in the court. The ministers who were arguing around also stopped and looked at him in shock.

Li Wenbin was seen being carried in, holding his stomach and groaning in pain. He was dressed in beggar's clothes, with bloodstains on his exposed skin, looking very scary.

"Grandfather, please make the decision for your grandson!"

Li Wenbin was a very professional actor, crying loudly while lying on a stretcher. Su Dingfang and others also cooperated well, howling and begging Li Yuan to avenge them.

Li Wenbin was "crying loudly" while laughing secretly.

Originally, he was worried that Su Dingfang and the others' acting was too fake, but he didn't expect that they were all movie star-level figures. Even the few people who looked dull on weekdays actually had tears flowing from their eyes when they cried, and they didn't need any eye drops or other things to help.

This is definitely a good actor with great potential, and we need to explore more of him in the future.

"You bastard, look at what you have become, get up and answer me!" Li Shimin was also frightened by his son's miserable appearance. He felt pain and anger in his heart. He also saw that Li Wenbin, who was usually full of energy and looked most like himself, was just lying on a stretcher and crying, not looking like a prince at all. His anger grew even stronger, and he could not help but shout angrily.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I and your sons are disrespectful. It's really that those Turks are too bullying. Not only did they insult my sisters with rude words, they were also rude and unreasonably the first to beat me and my sons. Although I tried my best to resist, I was still outnumbered and was beaten like this by them. I had no choice but to ask Grandfather and Father to make the decision and seek justice for me and my sons."

Li Wenbin was crying with tears streaming down his face, but he spoke very clearly and put all the blame on the Turks.

Su Dingfang and others also shouted loudly, and even rolled up their clothes to let the ministers around them see their injuries in order to win sympathy from others, causing chaos in the hall.

The faces of those military generals were also filled with anger, but due to the need to save face, they could not show it in the court.

"Shut up! What is going on? Wenbin, report the details to me!" Li Shimin shouted at the people below who were in chaos. Only then did they quiet down and turned to ask Li Wenbin.

Li Wenbin felt that the effect was almost there, so he forced himself to sit up, wiped away his tears, and recounted the whole story in detail. Of course, he made some minor changes, such as deliberately emphasizing the description of the Turks' arrogant attitude, and the Turks were the first to take action.

In particular, the insulting words about the Tang princess that triggered the group fight turned into a loud provocation in Chinese directly spoken by the Turks in his mouth, with no regard for the majesty of the Tang Dynasty at all.

"Bang~" Li Yuan angrily punched the dragon table in front of him and roared like thunder: "Turkic brat, how dare you look down on our Great Tang like this? Do you really think that our Great Tang is weak and can be bullied?"

Chapter 129: Late Night Encounter (Seeking Tickets)

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the fierce army of the Tang Dynasty to defeat the Turks in one fell swoop and capture that little Jie Li Khan alive and present him to Your Majesty."

Cheng Yaojin and his gang of generals who were only afraid of chaos in the world started clamoring - they had not moved for a long time, their bones were almost rusted, and they were eager to fight a big battle right now.

"Your Majesty, calm down. Although the Turks are disrespectful to our Tang Dynasty, now is not a good time to start a war!" Seeing that group of generals went crazy, several ministers who advocated peace were afraid that Li Yuan would also go crazy, so they hurriedly jumped out to persuade him.

"Last year's battle with the Turks consumed most of the Tang Dynasty's treasury. Now our Tang Dynasty has a large army but no money or food to support it. It is not easy to start a war!" Wei Zheng also stood up and said.

Other ministers also gave their advice, and except for the military generals, almost no one agreed to go to war.

After roaring a few times, Li Yuan knew that now was not the time to go to war with the Turks, but he could not vent his anger and said angrily: "The Turkic brats are too bullying. Don't mention the marriage again. In addition, cancel the border market with the Turks and prohibit the Turks from entering our Tang territory!"

The peace advocates saw that Li Yuan had given up the idea of ​​going to war, so they no longer insisted.

Although the cancellation of trade also caused losses to the Tang Dynasty, the losses were greater for the Turks who could not even provide themselves with ironware, so it was a way to vent their anger.

What was supposed to be a good morning court session was turned into a mess by Li Wenbin.

Li Yuan no longer had the heart to discuss the matter and waved his hand to dismiss the court.

But at this moment, the Jinwu Guards came to report that the Turkic ambassador was causing trouble in the city and had now been captured by them. They came to ask how to deal with him.

However, they did not mention a word about the tragic situation in which all the Turks were beaten unconscious.

Li Yuan was furious, and he shouted that all the Turks should be taken to the prison. The captain of the Jinwu Guard responded loudly, and then walked out backwards, but he did not forget to steal a glance at Li Wenbin as he walked out.

Li Wenbin secretly gave him a thumbs up.

After dealing with the Turks, the morning court was dispersed. Li Yuan named Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and several important civil and military officials to stay.

Li Wenbin was carried back to Prince Qi's Mansion to recuperate.

……

The fight with the Turkic envoys seemed to be in the past, and no one knew how it was resolved. Anyway, when Li Shimin came to visit Li Wenbin later, he said meaningfully - little bastard, you have really grown up.

What? Do you think my shameless aura is quite similar to you when you were young?

Knowing that Li Shimin had seen through his tricks, Li Wenbin was not embarrassed.

As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

But in the end, Li Shimin still gave an order - His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi was beaten and injured, and he could not go out for at least a month, and he must rest well in the mansion.

He had already made up his mind that after Li Wenbin "recovered from his injuries", he would put him in the Zuowuwei and then let him go to Longyou to roam around.

Anyway, by that time, even if there is harm, it will be to the Qiang people, and it will have nothing to do with him.

Knowing that this was a disguised form of house arrest, Li Wenbin agreed with a smile.

At first, he didn't think much of it, but later he found it really boring.

Not being able to leave the house for a month is almost suffocating.

One day, Li Wenbin drank some wine and felt a little drunk in the evening breeze. He felt suffocated in his chest, so he simply climbed over the wall and strolled around the market.

The Tang Dynasty implemented a curfew, even in Chang'an and Luoyang.

There were not many people on the road late at night, but Li Wenbin, who had been bored at home for a long time, still felt very happy.

But at this moment, a melodious flute sound was heard.

The sound of the flute is gentle and mournful. Although it is just a few simple tunes, it can fully reveal the sorrow in the music.

"I don't know which hungry and resentful woman this is, longing to be moistened by a man."

After listening for a while, Li Wenbin discovered that the flute sound came from a house in front.

The walls of the house are high and thick, obviously it belongs to a wealthy family.

When passing by the house, listening to the sound of the flute, Li Wenbin couldn't help but recite a poem of boudoir resentment.

"The beauty rolled up the pearl curtain, and sat deep in thought with her eyebrows furrowed."

"I only see the wet traces of tears, but I don't know who I hate in my heart."

Li Wenbin had drunk some wine, and it was already late at night, with everything quiet. His voice was a little loud, so it was heard in the courtyard, and the sound of the flute stopped immediately.

With a creaking sound, a corner door on the courtyard wall opened. Li Wenbin suddenly heard a surprised cry, and then someone called out, "Your Highness, Prince Qi, is that you?"

Li Wenbin turned his head in surprise and saw that the corner door was split to the left and right. Inside the door stood a pretty person holding a candlestick in her hand.

The candlelight reflected her colorful clothes like clouds and mist, and her graceful figure was also looming in the light, which was extremely tempting. It was the wife of Duke Ying, Wu Yang, whom he had met before.

When he turned around, Wu Yang couldn't help but say with a smile: "It is indeed His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. Please come over and talk to him!"

Li Wenbin walked over and bowed, saying, "Meet the Madam of Duke Ying."

"Haha, what Duke's wife? She's just a pitiful person..."

Wu Yangshi showed a look of resentment on her face, but she quickly suppressed it and asked, "May I ask what poem the Prince of Qi just read?"

Li Wenbin scratched his head. He didn't want to be a plagiarist either.

"I read it, but... but I didn't write it."

"It is indeed a good poem. Does Your Highness the Prince of Qi know who wrote it?" Wu Yang asked.

"I forgot--" Li Wenbin said very calmly.

Wu Yangshi: "...If that's the case, then I won't ask any more questions."

She saw Li Wenbin walking unsteadily and smelled the alcohol on him, so she asked with concern, "Your Highness Prince Qi, would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

Li Wenbin was a little confused now. He didn't think about anything else after hearing it, nor did he consider that there was anything wrong. He just nodded.

"In that case, I am sorry to bother you so much."

"Your Highness, please come in."

After entering the yard, Li Wenbin realized that this was a side yard, which looked quite desolate.

As Wu Yang entered the room, under the bright candlelight, he saw that Wu Yang was wearing a bright red peony shirt, a white gauze dress on the outside, and a pink skirt with daffodil flowers and green leaves, with pleated skirt.

The hem of her skirt cascaded to the ground like the light of snow and moon, making her graceful and soft figure even more sexy and attractive.

Although the room is not big, it is fully furnished and very comfortably decorated.

There was also a wine jug and a wine glass on the table. There was half a glass of wine in the glass, which was obviously what Wu Yang had left.

Li Wenbin was thirsty at the time, so he didn't pay attention and drank it all in one gulp.

Chapter 130 Madam, You Don’t Want to…

"Good wine!"

After drinking, Li Wenbin praised.

This wine has a refreshing taste, and the most rare thing is that it does not have the slightly sour feeling of ordinary wines. It really deserves his praise.

After drinking, Li Wenbin was about to speak when he suddenly saw a blush on Wu Yang's face.

He didn't react at first, but when he looked down and saw the wine glass in his hand, he remembered.

There is only one wine glass on the table, and there is only half a glass of wine left. There is no need to say who was drinking before.

And looking at the edge of the wine glass, there is a hint of crimson, which seems to be the same color as the rouge on Wu Yang's lips...

This is so fucking embarrassing.

Soon, Wu Yang's face turned the same red as her lips.

"Ahem, Madam Wu, this..." Li Wenbin didn't know what to say for a moment.

He sat in the chair, not knowing where to put his hands.

Hey, what is this?

Li Wenbin felt like he had touched something cylindrical. He took it out and saw that it was more than half a foot long and warm to the touch, just like...

"Ah——" At this moment, Wu Yang let out a scream and her body was shaking.

Li Wenbin understood. Isn't this the legendary...

Mr. Jiao?

It seems that Wu Yang is lonely in her boudoir and has to comfort herself in this way, not caring that there is no one else in the small courtyard and it looks like a deserted place.

To do this kind of thing, you really need a quiet place.

"Mrs. Wu, I'm really sorry, it's already late at night, I still..."

"Your Highness the Prince of Qi, have you already regarded me as a fickle woman?" Wu Yang covered her face and did not dare to look at Li Wenbin at all.

"Well, that's not the case." Li Wenbin scratched his head. "This is Madam's own choice. It has not affected others, let alone me. Naturally, I have no right to point fingers at Madam or make irresponsible remarks."

Before he traveled through time, Li Wenbin adhered to the principle of - it's none of your business and it's none of my business.

He felt that as long as it didn't affect him, it had nothing to do with others.

Li Wenbin's words had some effect, and Wu Yangshi's emotions stabilized a little: "Your Highness Prince Qi, are you speaking from your heart? Are you trying to please me on purpose?"

"Of course not, ahem..." Li Wenbin always felt that it would be risky to stay any longer, so he stood up and prepared to leave, "Madam, I'm leaving now."

"My lord, stay."

"Well, Madam Wu, you don't have to see me off. I can find my own way out."

Li Wenbin waved his hand and opened the door.

"No, I mean, Your Majesty, please stay."

Wu Yang's panicked voice sounded behind him.

"Oh? Madam Wu, do you have any other advice for me?" Li Wenbin then realized that Madam Wu Yang wanted him to wait a moment.
