Chapter 64: Marriage, the First Meeting
Li Tai hurriedly walked over and said, "Uncle, don't worry! With me, I wouldn't have let Li Zheng become an official for the Turks. ”
Li Daxiong is still a little skeptical.
Li Tai sat down and said, "You Li Zheng is hot now. ”
"If I go to be an official for the Turks, your father will not have to skin me and cramp me."
Li Tai smiled: "How can my father be so terrible as you say. ”
can't be used for yourself or by others, if he really went to the Turks, Li Shimin might really be able to do it.
Maybe this Ah Shi is coming to Jingyang for a trip, but I don't know what the intention is.
Want to arouse Li Shimin's suspicion?
Thinking about it like this, Li Zheng sighed with emotion: "Sure enough, people's hearts are sinister. ”
Chang'an, the palace of government.
Li Lizhi snuggled up to her mother's side and said, "Mother, my daughter doesn't want to get married. ”
Empress Changsun straightened her hair bun and said, "How can there be a daughter who doesn't marry." ”
Li Lizhi lowered her head and endured her grievances and said: "My daughter knows that my father wants to marry his daughter to the powerful, so as to stabilize the hearts of the powerful." ”
Looking at her lost expression, and listening to Lizhi say this, Empress Changsun was very distressed.
Lizhi is too sensible, she understands Li Shimin's thoughts very well in her heart.
Mothers also don't want their daughters to fall victim to power.
Comforting Li Liqing, Empress Changsun said: "My father will not let you marry very far, you can often enter the palace to visit your mother and your father." ”
Seeing that she was silent, Empress Changsun sighed and said, "Do you like Li Zheng very much?" ”
Li Li stubbornly turned her head, "Li Zheng is a fool who wants money!" My daughter doesn't like him. ”
Seeing that she had regained her willful expression, Empress Eldest Sun straightened the hem of her dress and skirt again, "Actually, your father values Li Zheng very much, as long as he makes enough contributions to become a powerful person, maybe your father is really willing to let you marry Li Zheng, it depends on whether Li Zheng has this heart." ”
"Really?"
Li Lizhen's eyes regained their brightness.
"Look, didn't you just say that you don't like Li Zheng?"
Covering her flushed face, Li Lizhi stomped her feet and turned around, "Queen Mother!" ”
Empress Changsun said earnestly: "Your father already has a few candidates in his heart, but your status is noble and a small county is really not qualified, it depends on whether he has the ability." ”
Li Lizhi asked in a low voice, "Who are the candidates in my father's heart?" ”
"As a mother, I don't want you to trust someone else, and I don't want you to have a bad time in the future, of course I will watch a few more."
Looking at her daughter's expression, Empress Changsun knew her thoughts and asked, "Recently, a lot of Turks have come to Chang'an, so don't leave the palace these days." ”
"Hmm."
Li Lizhi nodded obediently.
In the Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin immediately learned the news that Ashina had gone to Jingyang.
Fang Xuanlingyu reported: "According to Su Dingfang, when he went, Ashina was arrested by the villagers of Jingyang, thinking that it was a Turkic work, and after the misunderstanding was resolved, he went to see Li Zheng the next day. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji also said: "Your Majesty, do you need to interrogate what Ashina and Li Zheng said." ”
Du Ruhui said: "Zhao Guogong's words are wrong, the minister thinks that Li Zheng will not serve the Turks, and the original Yinshan strategy was written by Li Zheng, if he went to interrogate, he fell into the hands of Ashina." ”
Li Shimin asked in a low voice: "What are you doing with your stubborn thinking?" ”
"Eat, drink and be merry in Chang'an City all day long."
Fang Xuanling continued: "It's not just Li Zheng, this Ashina is still walking among the various magnates in Chang'an, but he has been rejected many times. ”
Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked: "This Ashina is a thoughtful person. ”
Fang Xuanling nodded slightly.
"Now it seems that it would be better to convince who first?"
Fang Xuanling bowed down and said, "The minister thinks it's better to persuade the stubborn thinking power first. ”
Li Shimin stood on the platform of the palace, and from here he could see the scenery of Chang'an City at a glance.
Seeing that Li Shimin didn't speak for a while, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the eldest grandson Wuji also fell silent.
After being quiet for a long time, Li Shimin said: "Let's arrange it according to what the prime minister said." ”
"Whoa!"
The three of them saluted in unison.
Li Chengqian, the official who arranged the conversation in Zhongshu Province, prepared manpower as soon as possible.
Li Chengqian, who was in the East Palace, was about to leave, and the subordinate officials of the East Palace came to report: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness King Wu has come down." ”
After thinking about why Li Ke came at this time, Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said, "Let him in." ”
Li Ke walked into the East Palace and said, "Brother Huang, this time with the Turkic Khan's lobbying, the courtiers also want to contribute. ”
Observing Li Ke suspiciously, Li Chengqian hesitated.
Li Ke said again: "The younger brother has been in the army for a long time, and he can't sit still when he is idle, so he is willing to be the escort of the imperial brother on this trip." ”
Li Chengqian hurriedly stepped forward, "How can you be a guard, you just follow Lonely, so that you can have a strategy." ”
Li Ke saluted, "Thank you, Brother Huang." ”
Led people out of the East Palace to meet Fang Xuanling and others, Li Chengqian really didn't expect Li Ke to come for a while, this is like taking refuge in himself, although Li Ke's biological mother, the princess of Qiansui, is resistant to Li Ke in her heart, and winning over Li Ke can increase the strength of his own camp to fight against Li Tai.
The first round of negotiations took place at Taijoji Temple.
Stubbornness is an old acquaintance of the Tang Dynasty, and he was Jieli's lobbyist when he was in the Weishui Alliance.
Li Chengqian also sat down and said: "Lone is ordered by my father to preside over this alliance between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks. ”
After some introduction, the rest of the conversation was dealt with by Fang Xuanling.
Both sides expressed their demands, and they insisted that Datang could give them grain and grass weapons to deal with Ashina.
After a few conversations, I wanted the Turks to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and the lion opened his mouth to ask for 100,000 stones, grain and grass!
This made Li Chengqian's face also ugly, where could Datang get 100,000 grains and grass.
The first meeting broke up unhappily on the condition that Datang could not agree to the loss of thinking power.
After the others left, Li Chengqian said angrily: "Obsessed with losing his thinking power, what an arrogant person!" ”
Fang Xuanling could see that he was deliberately embarrassed by his obsession.
After the end of the alliance, Li Ke came to Jingyang County again.
Li Zheng, who was playing backgammon with Li Tai, said weakly: "His Royal Highness King Wu, why are you here again?" ”
"Blue Sparrow, why are you here?" Li Ke was surprised to see Li Tai.
Li Tai was also a little stunned.
"Don't get in the way, King Wei is here to escape the summer at my house." Li Zheng made a round.
Li Ke told Li Zheng everything about this conversation.
Li Tai was also annoyed when he heard this, "Where did Datang get 100,000 stone grain for them!" ”
Li Ke also said: "100,000 stones is indeed too much. ”
After the two finished speaking, they looked at Li Zheng in unison.
Li Zheng fell and said, "Ha! Five sons in a row, you lost again! Owe me ten times! Dead fat people are not allowed to repay their debts! ”
