Datang: Abducting the eldest princess at the beginning

Chapter 19 19. Let the princess get married? How unreasonable!
  Imperial City, Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Li Shimin's face was gloomy and worried.

It is not that she is worried about why Li Lizhi has not returned yet. Li Lizhi carries a golden dragon token, and all the governors who pass by must obey her words.

Moreover, there are three strong men accompanying her, so there will naturally be no problems.

What he was most worried about at the moment were those hard-to-gnaw bones, those bones with spikes.

Tuyuhun.

On the left hand side, there are Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Li Daozong, Su Lie, and other Han noble families.

On the right hand side, Gao Shilian, Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Imperial Scholar Lu Ji, and other representatives of the Cartilage Sect are all here.

Li Shimin frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Everyone, let's talk about the incident where Murong Fuyun, the Khan of Tuyuhun, sent envoys to pay tribute and secretly plundered our Langzhou."

Li Jing cupped his hands and said: "Although the veteran is over sixty years old, he still has some power left. He is willing to wear armor and fight again and lead the army to the expedition."

Gao Shilian on the side smiled and said: "Lian Po is old, can he still make a living?"

Li Jing smiled slightly, bit down the jujube, and spit out the jujube core.

Whoosh!
  The date seeds flew past Gao Shilian's head like flying needles.

Gao Shilian shuddered, covered his head with the hat, and found a long scratch on it.

"you……"

Li Jing smiled slightly and said: "Although Tuyuhun is located on a plateau, my body is still strong and I can defeat it with one blow!"

Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong also stroked their beards with confidence, clasped their fists and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to follow the general, lead the army, and conquer the world."

Li Shimin was so happy when he saw that Li Jing was already sixty-three years old and still had such momentum!

"Li Aiqing, you are indeed the military god of our Tang Dynasty, the god general of the Tang Dynasty, you are really..."

At this time, Changsun Wuji, the emperor's uncle, always liked to interrupt.

Changsun Wuji clasped his fists and said, "Let me tell you, Your Majesty, what Li Jing did is really disrespectful to my uncle!"

Li Shimin frowned and said coldly: "Auxiliary machine, what you said is wrong."

"This is business now. The general is doing this in response to Mr. Gao. How old is Lian Po? He can still eat three big bowls of rice."

Hahaha!
  Li Shimin's words made everyone laugh.

That's right!

If he can't even eat three bowls of rice, where does his anger come from?

Gao Shilian was so angry that he almost cursed. Li Shimin had already married off his niece, but he still didn't help his uncle. This was too outrageous.

Fight, fight, they only know how to fight!
  This fight means spending money and exerting effort, and all he loses is his interests!
  Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, the last time we wiped out the Eastern Turks, we spent a lot of money."

"Three years, it's only been three years!"

"The commander has great martial arts skills and is not afraid of plateaus, but aren't those soldiers afraid too!"

"Not to mention soldiers, even our horses are panting!"

"Moreover, just three years is not enough to support a long-distance war."

"I think it is feasible for Murong Fuyun to propose a marriage between his son and me, the Princess of the Tang Dynasty."

"A marriage is worth a million lions!"

In the past two years, due to Tuyuhun's plunder of the Silk Trade Road, commercial trade in the Tang Dynasty could not be guaranteed, which caused a great obstacle to the development of trade! This incident had a serious impact on Datang's plan to earn money from the barbarians and support his own army!

Li Shimin received memorials from several countries, severely reprimanded Murong Fuyun, and threatened them with force to stop plundering.

He also talked to them a lot and told them that if they wanted to develop, they had to stop doing beastly things and get them on the right track.

However, barbarians are barbarians, how could they know so much.

Murong Fuyun was so angry that he still sent people to Chang'an to pay tribute to show his loyalty.

If they paid tribute to the court, it would prove that they had recognized the fact that they were a tributary of the Tang Dynasty.

But I didn't expect that as soon as my envoy returned from Langzhou, Tuyuhun's army attacked Langzhou again.

Although we called them back and there was no big loss, their behavior still made people very unhappy!

If the Tang Dynasty had not just experienced a war and had just rested for three years, and were short of supplies, they would have been killed long ago.

Murong Fuyun knew the situation of the Tang Dynasty very well, so he actually dared to declare a challenge!

It's okay to let them abandon the Silk Road and not harass the border, but only if he asks to marry a Tang princess to his son!
  But now, Changsun Wuji has revealed the dilemma of the Tang Dynasty and made it clear that he wants to be a weakling!

When Changsun Wuji finished these words, Cheng Yaojin was already jumping up and down in anger!
  "Haha, then let your daughter go."

"Do you have any humanity left?"

"The country has been owned by the gentlemen since ancient times, so naturally the country should be protected by the gentlemen, even if it involves bloodshed."

"I, Cheng, can't do it with a woman in exchange for peace."

Chu Suiliang narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile: "You are right, but what they want is the princess, not my daughter."

"This is not a good idea!"

"I……"

Although Cheng Yaojin was not a fool, he felt that what he just said was a bit excessive.

If Li Shimin is narrow-minded and not smart enough, I am afraid he will be charged with "treason".

If your daughter can become a princess, does that mean she wants to be an emperor?

Changsun Wuji sneered. He hated Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong.

How did Princess Changle escape?
  Princess Changle and a former female guard commander can go out and make a career in the world?
  Why don't these two old immortals let their sons be bodyguards?
  This clearly ruined the plan of their eldest grandson's family, and he deserved death!
  Changsun Wuji laughed sinisterly, then showed a kind smile and said: "I hope Your Majesty won't be offended. Brother Zhijie is straightforward and has no intention of overstepping his bounds."

Cheng Yaojin glared, didn't this remind Li Shimin to think in this direction?

This bastard really has no good intentions!

Cheng Yaojin cursed: "You bastard..."

Gao Shilian added: "His mother is also the queen's mother, and she is also the emperor's mother-in-law..."

cough cough.

Qin Qiong cleared her throat and looked at Cheng Yaojin. He was usually sharp-tongued, but today he suffered a big loss.

That’s right, what he’s best at is seeing people with an axe, how can he possibly argue with these professionals!

Qin Qiong cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you know best what kind of person knows what is right."
