Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

The banquet location of the Taiji Hall is Li Shimin's position in the north, with the seats for the concubines on the next row on both sides of him.Then in the next row of seats from the concubines, the position of the clan and royal relatives.The position of the envoys is in the first row on the left side of the main hall, followed by the West Turks, Tuyuhun, Goryeo and Fusang, and then on the right is the seat of the cabinet ministers of the Tang Dynasty. The remaining courtiers and ministers can only sit in the main hall The position of the left and right second row.

"The emperor is here!" Wang De's slender voice made the noise of the Taiji Hall disappear, and at this moment, Li Shimin arrived, accompanied by his concubines, including Empress Changsun, Concubine Yang, Concubine De, and Concubine Shu. Tai Chi Hall.

Li Shimin sat down with all the concubines, Li Ke and all the ministers stood up to salute Li Shimin, shouting long live.Li Shimin waved his sleeves and said that everyone loves you without courtesy.Then the envoys of the four countries came forward to salute Li Shimin again, and Li Shimin also asked them to sit without courtesy.

The envoys of the four countries sat down, and Li Shimin began his speech before the meal. As the king of the horse god, he is only in his early thirties, and he can be said to be in the prime of life. After going through the most difficult two years, people's lives are becoming richer now, and the entire Tang Dynasty is showing prosperity. I am very happy to be able to win Zipheasu at this time. Therefore, today, I will hold a banquet in the Hall of Taiji Waiting for the ministers, hoping to enjoy the joy with the people!"

"Long live the emperor! Long live the Tang Dynasty!" Everyone shouted facing Li Shimin at the same time.

"En..." Li Shimin was very happy today, and enjoyed the chanting, "The banquet is about to start?" He said with a happy glance at Empress Changsun next to him.

"En..." Empress Changsun nodded slightly, indicating that the banquet can begin.

The sound of bells and drums sounded, and the national music of the Tang Dynasty was played in the main hall. The battle on the battlefield was played by cymbals, bells, chime, pipa, etc. The tragic and generous voice was very pleasant. Slowly savoring the fine wine in the glass in the spiritual music, he couldn't help thinking of a masterpiece "Men's Walk" that made him feel impassioned when he read it.

But Li Ke and all the ministers first toasted Li Shimin three glasses of wine in a row, and then Li Chengqian's clan children toasted Li Shimin again. Li Shimin was in a very good mood, and he drank six glasses without changing his face.Of course, the envoys from the four countries would not miss this moment to please Li Shimin. They also practiced toasting to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin only ordered as much as he wanted, and did not drink as dryly as the previous six glasses of wine.It's just that his actions are not exaggerated in anyone's eyes, but seeing Prince Murong Shun of Tuyuhun is an insult to him.Therefore, when everyone was drinking, the voice of Prince Tuyuhun Murong Shun suddenly came from the hall, "To the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, I, Murong Shun Tuyuhun, have something to tell you." Murong Shun walked out of his seat, facing Said arrogantly to Li Shimin.

"I don't know what the prince wants to tell me?" Although Li Shimin was extremely dissatisfied with Murong Shun in front of him, he concealed his displeasure and said with a smile.

"Xiao Wang heard that the Western Turkic Khan wanted the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty to show that the two countries can live in peace. I wonder if the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has such a thing?" Murong Shun asked extremely arrogantly.

"Bold Murong Shun dares to be so rude to the emperor, why don't you hurry up and kneel down to apologize!" General Wei Chi Jingde, seeing Murong Shun's arrogant attitude, scolded angrily.

"What's wrong with Xiao Wang? I just want to ask the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty if there is such a thing?" Murong Shun continued to ask.

"Dang Tang is still deliberating on this matter, and it is difficult for me to give you a definite answer at the moment, but the Western Turkic Khan proposed marriage to me to show that the two countries are living in peace." Li Shimin said as he tried his best to suppress his inner anger.

"Since the emperor of the Tang Dynasty said so, Xiao Wang also wants to propose marriage to the princess of your country today to show me that Tuyuhun and the Tang Dynasty can live in peace." Murong Shun said with a smile, "I wonder if the emperor will agree?"

As soon as Murong Shun said these words, the hall was suddenly terribly quiet, no one thought that he would propose to marry the princess in front of Li Shimin and threaten him.Li Shimin was extremely angry. As a soldier and horse, he had experienced countless battles, big and small. Today, he was irritated by Murong Shun, and for the first time he showed a killing intent that he could only show on the battlefield.

Murong Shun's heart was a little chilled by Li Shimin's stare, but he did not continue to look at Li Shimin's eyes, but turned his eyes to Li Chengqian, the crown prince in the clan. Seeing Li Chengqian's cowardly and incompetent appearance, he immediately found a copy Confident, with a plan in mind, then he thought of the powerful cavalry of Tuyuhun, took a deep breath, and continued, "I don't know what the prince of the Tang Dynasty thinks about Xiao Wang's proposal?"

Li Ke has noticed Murong Shun since he toasted Li Shimin. Murong Shun's eyes have been wandering among the family members. He guessed that Murong Shun must have the intention of marrying the princess, but Li Ke didn't expect him to be so arrogant to face to face. Threatening Li Shimin.At this time, when he heard that Murong Shun had shifted his target to Li Chengqian, he couldn't help admiring his strategy. He felt that it was not a reckless act for him to ask Li Shimin to marry the princess face to face. On such occasions, coercion was used to force Li Shimin to agree to his request.He knew that the Western Turkic Khan also wanted to welcome the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and at this time he put forward the request to welcome the princess in front of Li Shimin, which was equivalent to adding weight to the Western Turkic Khan's proposal to marry the princess. Will support, because as long as Li Shimin agrees to Tuyuhun, he will definitely not reject the Western Turks.Another reason why he was so bold was that it was very difficult to deal with the Turks with the current strength of the Tang Dynasty. He was sure that Li Shimin would never kill him at this time. Even if his proposal to marry the princess was rejected, he would be unscathed.And he asked Li Chengqian because he diverted his attention because of Li Shimin's murderous intent, because he saw Li Chengqian's cowardly side.

Li Chengqian was startled. He didn't expect Murong Shun to ask him. He wanted to answer Murong Shun's question. His father had the final say. As a son, he himself had to listen to his father. Changed his words, "I don't know which princess the prince wants to marry?"

As soon as Li Chengqian's voice fell, Li Shimin's face changed slightly. He didn't expect Li Chengqian to say such a sentence, so he couldn't help but glance at Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian was awakened by Li Shimin's faint gaze, so he knew he had said something wrong, but now he can't change his words. It was too late, so I could only bow my head in silence.Empress Changsun and all the ministers did not expect Li Chengqian to answer like this, especially Empress Changsun, she saw a murderous intent in Li Shimin's eyes when Li Chengqian finished saying this sentence, she couldn't help but wow. 258o's heart skipped a beat, but as a woman, she knew that she could not interfere in the government affairs, so she could only look at Li Chengqian worriedly.

Murong Shun knew that his scheme was successful, and when he was about to speak, his elder grandson Wuji took the lead, "His Royal Highness means that the princesses of the Tang Dynasty are very young, and it is not the right time for the prince to marry her now."

Murong Shun was missed by Changsun Wuji, and now Changsun Wuji said this again, obviously meaning to evade, instead of being angry, he smiled, "Shang Shupu was too worried, and Xiao Wang didn't say that now Just marry the princess, just propose to the emperor, and then choose one among the princesses, and it will not be too late to marry the princess when she is married."

Murong Shun's words were very artistic. He caught the loophole in Changsun Wuji's words, and did not object to Changsun Wuji's words, but followed his wishes and said that he would not marry now, but would marry the princess when she was old.His words undoubtedly showed everyone that Datang had agreed to his request, only because the princess was too young to marry. Datang meant that I would marry the princess when she was old enough to marry.

Indeed, Murong Shun's words made it difficult for Changsun Wuji to refute, and everyone in the hall was even more angry at Murong Shun's arrogance, just because it was not easy to curse in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's expression was displeased, and he didn't say anything. If he objected, Murong Shun would say that Datang had no credibility, and he would turn his back on what he said. What's more, the words of Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji were already tantamount to agreeing to Murong Shun's request. Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji were slapped in front of the officials.Not only that, if he really objected, it would affect Li Chengqian's position among the officials, and the prestige of Prince Li Chengqian would plummet among the officials.Therefore, although he was angry and unwilling, he could only choose to remain silent.

Murong Shun wanted this effect. Seeing that Li Shimin didn't speak, he knew that he would not oppose him, which further fueled his arrogance. He saluted Li Shimin, "Since the emperor does not object to the decision of the crown prince and Shang Shupushe, Then Xiao Wang will now choose a future princess of Tuyuhun from among the princesses sitting next!"

After Murong Shun finished speaking, he unscrupulously cast his eyes on the position of the family members. When he searched for the princess, Li Ke noticed Concubine Yang's nervous expression.Li Ke was a little puzzled by Concubine Yang's nervousness at first, but then he was relieved, because among all the princesses, the oldest unmarried princess is Li Rong, the princess of Gaoyang, but Li Rong is like Concubine Yang in temperament and appearance, definitely The most beautiful princess in the Tang Dynasty.Therefore, Concubine Yang was afraid that Murong Shun would choose Li Rong.

And just as Concubine Yang expected, Murong Shun's eyes were fixed on Princess Gaoyang Li Rong.Seeing this scene, Concubine Yang couldn't help showing a painful expression on her face. Her own girl knew that letting her marry to Tuyuhun would be more sad than letting her die, but now that Murong Shun has chosen you, what do I have? how?Who told you to be born in the emperor's family!
