"What do you mean, brother?" Empress Eldest Sun asked puzzled.

"Princess Yuzhang's biological mother died in childbirth at the time of her birth, and Princess Gaoyang's biological mother was originally the concubine of Yuanji, the king of Qi, who went crazy after entering the palace, and collided with His Majesty several times, and these two daughters can be raised by the queen herself. Not only can you share your Majesty's worries, but you can choose the horse used by the prince in the future, which is a perfect strategy! The eldest grandson Wuji suggested.

Empress Changsun nodded frequently, the children she gave birth to were all favored by Li Shimin, and the two princesses in the mouth of Changsun Wuji were also concerned by Li Shimin among many children because of their pitiful backgrounds.

Without further ado, there are many childless women in the palace, and they are all looking forward to adopting one, even if it is a princess, it is also in demand, so Empress Changsun found Li Shimin on the same day and asked to adopt the two daughters.

Li Shimin praised Empress Changsun for her tolerance and kindness, and hinted to her that the cannibalism of the Xuanwu brothers would never happen again. Empress Eldest Sun burst into tears of excitement, which was tantamount to Li Shimin's assurance to her that she would never depose the crown prince.

In order to protect his position in the palace, Yuan Ziyan made friends with many officials in private, and at the same time took advantage of his convenience to go out of the palace, and also did a lot of good things for the benefit of the country and the people, and his position in the hearts of the people was increasingly consolidated.

Empress Changsun is weaker in this regard, but on the one hand, her brother Changsun Wuji is also promoting his own officials, and on the other hand, Empress Changsun still selected a few wishful concubines for Li Shimin.

Yuan Ziyan's power and influence have swelled unprecedentedly, but her enemies are also indistinguishable from the court and the court. Men or women. Above the court, a good relationship with Yuan Ziyan is only a good relationship. Including Wei Chi Gong Cheng Biting Jin and others, it is also a feudal thought in the bones, women, when they get mixed with Yuan Ziyan, they should be content, and they can't have other ideas. And the women of the back court are one-sided and form an alliance with the eldest grandson queen, who knows that Yuan Ziyan will clean up the back court next time. Will you drive those childless concubines out of the palace!

Yuan Ziyan's publicity made Li Shimin feel a little uncomfortable, and many people reacted that she was swaggering and too sharp. The long companion is on the side of the king, and it is insulting to the king. So Li Shimin called Yuan Ziyan to talk.

"Ziyan, there are a lot of rumors about you in the outside world, so you should restrain yourself." Li Shimin frowned and said.

"You don't go out of the palace all day. Where can I hear the truth? Shimin. Where there are crowds, there are contradictions, either you kick me out of the palace, or don't listen to those with long tongues. Yuan Ziyan didn't care.

"Purple Smoke, I always feel like you've changed......"

"Do you think I have the right to care?" Yuan Ziyan took over the conversation disapprerovingly: "Shimin, from the moment I was put on death row, I really figured out a lot of things. I used to be a girl from a small family, and I was inevitably timid and humble in doing things. Be kind, but what do you get in exchange? Anyone can step on my head. Even if you treat others with your heart and lungs, you will only get chilling suspicion. Since this is the case, why should I embarrass myself, I can do what I want to do, say what I want to say, and people can't let their grievances suffocate to death. ”

"Hehe, I know that you are still jealous of your eldest grandson brother and sister, but it is not too much to put yourself in their shoes. I have a good idea, and if you can say yes, all these problems will be solved. Li Shimin leaned forward and said with a wicked smile.

As soon as he saw this, he knew that there were no good words, Yuan Ziyan pursed his lips and said, "Then let's hear it." ”

"Ziyan, if you are willing to marry me, I will add another imperial concubine on top of the four concubines, and I have even thought of the title, called Chen, like a star in the sky, after the same side, in addition to the queen, you have the highest status among the women in the court, what do you think?" Li Shimin asked with a grin.

Yuan Ziyan was stunned, her heart was furious, it was really father and son, in the next few years, in order to please Wu Zetian, Li Zhi would make her Concubine Chen. Seeing that Yuan Ziyan was stunned, Li Shimin added: "I will also explain, if you make any mistakes again, you can only interrogate me, and the rest of the people cannot interfere, including the queen." Purple smoke, this is the biggest concession I can make for you. ”

Yuan Ziyan blinked, came back from the fugue, and also leaned over, looked at Li Shimin with a smile and asked, "What if I give birth to a son for you?" ”

Li Shimin was suddenly excited, hurriedly held Yuan Ziyan's hand, and swore a promise: "I will definitely let him favor the kings and be a supreme minister." ”

"What if he is as good as you and makes the prince uneasy?" Yuan Ziyan asked.

"With me, I will never allow such a thing to happen."

Yuan Ziyan looked at Li Shimin's confident appearance, and finally held back the next question, if there is no you, who will restrain them? Yuan Ziyan sighed, retracted his hand, and said dejectedly: "What woman doesn't want to have her own family, have a husband who loves each other, and smart and clever children." But Shimin, if I had become your imperial concubine and given birth to a prince, I am afraid that there would have been more contradictions at that time. The reason why no one has impeached me so far is probably because I have no heirs, there will be no turmoil in the court, and there will be no one to inherit my unwarranted position as a national teacher. ”

Hey, after speaking, Yuan Ziyan said gloomily: "Many people are looking forward to my death, and I don't have any troubles." I also want to die completely, but I still live inexplicably. ”

"Ziyan, I can't understand what you're talking anymore......"

Li Shimin just wanted to appease, but at this time there was an urgent military report, which had been returned to the Tang Dynasty, and at this time the Tuli Khan, who was guarding in the north, sent a request for help, saying that the Jieli Khan had treacherously gathered troops again and attacked the interior of the Tang Dynasty.

"Presumptuous!" Li Shimin was furious and said: "It must be Princess Yicheng who is instigating behind her back, otherwise an alliance has been reached, and she will turn her face so soon!" ”

"The people of the world, the Turkic barbarians, defeat is inevitable. Can I have a reluctant request? Yuan Ziyan discussed.

"Do you want me to let that Princess Yicheng go?"

"Yes, Princess Yicheng is loyal to the Sui Dynasty and has a strong temperament, which is really a rare person." Yuan Ziyan said earnestly.

"If Yicheng is sincere and obedient to my Datang, I will naturally leave her a way to live. But she is a thief, and she is bent on supporting the Sui Dynasty, which is really intolerable. ”

"Shimin, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, and Princess Yicheng can be regarded as my benefactor. Yanmen was trapped at the beginning, and if it weren't for her, it would have been difficult for me to escape. Yuan Ziyan softened his tone and said.

"But ......"

"No, I can watch her for you. Shimin, if such an appealing woman can be used by Datang, it can be regarded as a blessing, right? Yuan Ziyan blinked, as if she was coquettish.

Li Shimin finally nodded, and after the generals learned the news, they were excited, and they asked for orders to conquer the Turks, which was not unexpected. What is tangled is that Du Ruhui, who is ill, is also among them, and his words are sincere, which is actually a hint to Li Shimin that his time is running out and he wants to do his part for Datang again.

Li Shimin politely refused this, although the Turkic battle had a good chance of winning, but the road was bumpy and it was a rapid march, I was afraid that Du Ruhui's body could not stand it.

However, Du Ruhui insisted on his opinion, if His Majesty did not agree, he could only tell the old man in advance and ask Li Shimin for his one acre of thin land.

In desperation, Li Shimin had to nod his head in agreement, and at the same time ordered Qin Qiong and others to be deputy generals and fight together. This war lasted for about a year and a half, and the Turks were already in turmoil due to natural disasters, and Princess Yicheng reused the Han people, including her younger brother, so she also suffered a lot of criticism.

Du Ruhui led his troops to the expedition, and soon curbed the momentum of the Turks, after which, Li Shimin had the support of Li Tao, and Jieli Khan was beaten to the point that his family moved, and he once wanted to negotiate peace. But Princess Yicheng gritted her teeth and never gave up, she regarded Datang as an aggressor, and it was impossible to compromise if she dealt with it quickly.

It is worth mentioning that Li Shimin did not talk to anyone about capturing Princess Yicheng alive. The emperor was suspicious, Li Shimin didn't think that a princess Yicheng, who was over half a hundred years old, would bring any benefits to the talented Tang Dynasty, but he was suspicious of whether Yuan Ziyan wanted to develop and expand his own women's army.

In the first month of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin inexplicably persuaded Yuan Ziyan to be too tired on this day, so he could take a few days off, and he didn't have to go to court these days.

Yuan Ziyan was extremely happy, and couldn't wait to jump over and kiss Li Shimin for a few bites, I don't know how many days, Yuan Ziyan rarely slept lazy, he was too tired, and he just slept early at night, and he had long forgotten what the holiday was, of course, he was happy to hum a little song all day long.

"Miss, I think Your Majesty seems to have something to hide from you, right?" The clever Yuzhu found out the news and came back to report to Yuan Ziyan.

Yuan Ziyan's face sank, and it didn't seem normal to think about it when he looked back, the palace was very lively, as if he was welcoming VIPs, and the queen was also busy coming in and out, but he was a great teacher, so he could be at home?

"What did you find?"

"I heard that General Li Tao won the battle and brought back Jieli Khan."

"It's inevitable, I've already gotten military intelligence." Yuan Ziyan said casually.

"It is said that he also brought back a woman, who is not young, but it is said that she is extremely beautiful." Yuzhu said mysteriously.

"Haha, it should be Princess Yicheng. The people of the world really spoke of their credibility and brought people back. Let's visit the famous princess of the Sui Dynasty another day, and let's prepare some gifts, preferably one that can arouse her good memories......"

"Miss, this woman is very mysterious, and no one knows her identity so far. But it's definitely not Princess Yicheng, I heard that she refused to surrender and has been killed by General Li Tao himself! ”

What the?! Yuan Ziyan stood up suddenly, his face was also gloomy, it seemed that there was not just one person hiding from him! (To be continued......)
