Chapter Eighty-Eight: Li Yang Alliance

"I wonder if there is a marriage contract?" In order to gain Yang Xuangan's trust, Li Shimin proposed to cancel his doubts by marriage. Of course, these are just words he just said, anyway, there is no evidence, and he Li Shimin only has the eldest grandson Wujian in his heart, where can he see that he has never met, who knows if it is the daughter of Yang Xuangan at the level of Sister Feng and Sister Furong.

"Oh~, this king heard that Yang Guang is very optimistic about his virtuous nephew, and he is ready to recruit Shimin as a concubine, I don't know if this is really the case?" Political marriages were not uncommon among the aristocratic scholars and doctors in the feudal era, although they all knew that this political marriage was vulnerable in the face of real interests, but it was indeed effective as a temporary basis for cooperation.

"Uncle said with a smile, Yang Guang can't wait to put my Li family to death, how can he have the heart to recruit his little nephew as a colt? With his uncle's eyes, he didn't know that this was the fog released by Yang Guang, in order to show the ministers that he killed all the people who deserved to die, and those who were obedient would be rewarded. Li Shimin copes with ease, although Yang Xuangan is an old fritter in politics, but he has a rough personality, although he is the first leader in diplomacy of the Ministry of Rites, but he is only a name, he is really recognized by his body of force and military merits, so although he has been in the officialdom for decades, he is really not good at intrigues.

"In that case, I don't know if the virtuous nephew can represent the meaning of Ling Zun?" Yang Xuangan said that the marriage between the two families is not just a matter of two people, it can only be effective if the top leaders of the two families decide, otherwise it is just empty talk.

"Now Jinyang is all in charge of the little nephew." Li Shimin replied, what he meant was to say that the current Li family is in charge of me, and I can act on behalf of the head of the family. Of course, it is unknown whether Li Yuan will admit it after he comes back, but at least this relationship was established before Li Yuan came back, and Yang Xuangan only needs to be able to break the siege, and after the siege is lifted, he will not admit it or not.

"Well, since that's the case, then this king will ......"

"Duke Chu can't!" Just when Yang Xuangan was about to agree, a voice came, interrupting Yang Xuangan's words, of course, Yang Xuangan didn't need to think about it to know who it was, except for Li Mi, no one could enter and exit here at will, let alone interrupt his words. However, Li Shimin was not happy, and almost fooled Yang Xuangan, but he killed such a person.

"Oh, Fa Xuan came just in time, let me introduce you, this is Li Shimin, Li Yuan's son."

"Li Shimin, Mi just knows a thing or two, it is said that he is quite ambitious, and he is also known as the talent of helping the world and the people, Mi has always been curious, what kind of person can be called the talent of the people of the world? Judging from what I just said, it is indeed not simple, but it is too simple to let you and me cooperate with just such words. As soon as Li Mi came, he pointed out Li Shimin's extraordinary, the purpose was to remind Yang Xuangan to be careful, and he said that the basis of cooperation was too simple, which meant that all the losses were on their side, and since it was cooperation, it had to be a win-win situation.

"The people of the world have seen the prince of Pushan County, and the people of the county often hear their father talk about it, and it is a blessing for the people to see it today." Li Shimin's compliments were sent, of course, but he hated it in his heart, it seems that Li Mi appeared, this matter is difficult to do, and it is no wonder that Yang Xuangan has such a talent on his side, it is no wonder that Yang Xuangan has been able to escape to this day, and he can still take Hongnong Palace, it seems that he still underestimated Yang Xuangan before, and it seems that it is impossible to achieve the goal without paying some price today.

"I forgot to tell Fa Xuan, thanks to the arrival of the virtuous nephew, this king knows that he can no longer call himself the Duke of Chu, so it will be as if we really betrayed Yang Guang, from today on, this king will be the king of Chu. With this reputation, I don't believe that the people don't support us and so on. Yang Xuangan seems to be showing off, indeed, all those who can be called kings and hegemons are bulls, they call themselves the king of Chu, maybe they can be called emperors in the future, Yang Xuangan is happy in his heart.

"Congratulations to the king, with this title, we really have the capital to confront Yang Guang, at least morally speaking, we won't lose again." Li Mi also felt that it was better for him to be the king, and the people who started the incident in history all claimed to be kings under the banner, and with this banner, then someone would respond, because this flag was a directional sign, and it was a huge bait, and whoever wanted to be the king and hegemon should have an incident. Of course, Li Mi also has careful thoughts, Yang Xuangan is the king, then he can give himself an official position, although he has the title of county duke, but he has no official position, just Yang Xuangan's think tank, although the soldiers below are still convinced of themselves, but there is no official position always feels that there is no right in general, and the empty hands are particularly unhappy.

"That's right, with this name, when this king gets through this difficulty, then he can slaughter the world for a great cause."

"Ahem! Uncle, I don't know what the little nephew just proposed? ~"Li Shimin had to interrupt Yang Xuangan's daydream, if you want to dream, you have to see if it's time, it's too early to do it now.

"Oh, this...... What does Fa Xuan think? Yang Xuangan couldn't pay attention to it now, so he asked Li Mi, who made Li Mi obstruct it just now.

"The matter of marriage is not indispensable, and the matter is secret, why do the people of the world give us such a good thing? I wonder what price we have to pay? Li Mi asked, the reason why he blocked it was not because the marriage was harmful to them, but because Li Shimin didn't mention what he wanted to get at all, and Yang Xuangan was just confused by the snacks he threw to Li Shimin, and he didn't ask what price he had to pay, after all, no one would be good to you for no reason, he must have asked for something, just asking for more and asking for less.

"I can't hide anything from the county prince, and the people have nothing else to ask for, but Jinyang is now Yang Guang's lackeys look at it closely, and the people want to develop their power but can't, but they just heard that the king of Chu got the Hongnong Palace, and the grain and grass in the palace are quite abundant, and the people think that if they can help the king of Chu get out of trouble, can they get a part of the grain and grass in the Hongnong Palace for the development of the people." Li Shimin said, Okay, although I am also worried about your grain and grass, but compared to your two heads, grain and grass are nothing, just some employment fees for the Turks.

"That's all?" Li Mi asked.

"That's all."

"If that's the case, then why don't you join Yuwenshu's side, isn't that a guarantee? After my king is defeated, won't the grain and grass in Hongnong Palace be available? Li Mi refused to believe it easily.

"Having said that, compared to Shimin and Yuwenshu, it is not worth mentioning at all, will he give me the grain and grass for nothing? It is obviously impossible, and, if the king of Chu is defeated, will he leave these grains and grass for Yuwen Shu? Also, the purpose of Shimin's visit this time is to 'encircle and suppress' the king of Chu. Li Shimin's series of rhetorical questions revealed all the doubts in Li Mi's heart one by one, and also showed that he came with sincerity this time.

"Even so, then how can you guarantee that my king will not be defeated?!"

"This, Shimin doesn't dare to guarantee, Shimin only has more than 10,000 men and horses in his hands, but as long as the King of Chu can't hold on, then Shimin will accept the King of Chu to get out of danger, and Shimin is preparing to enter Yuwenshu's army, and he can also create some chaos for him at that time. As long as the King of Chu escapes, then there is a chance! Li Shimin said, do you want me to guarantee that you are undefeated? How can it be? Unless Yang Guang forgives you, you will not be able to escape this fate.

"Uncle don't hope for Han Xiangguo's 100,000 horses, even if he can take Xiangcheng, then his own strength will definitely be damaged, even if he barely waves his army to save it, but the 100,000 horses in the south of Tu Qu Tong are blocked, presumably Han Xiangguo's talent is impossible to beat Tu Qu Tong, so uncle should not be too hopeful." Li Shimin said to Yang Xuangan again.

"This~" Yang Xuangan looked at Li Mi, obviously both of them knew this very well, although they didn't know who was blocking the south, but with Yu Wenshu's old spicy, it was impossible for Han Xiangguo to come to the rescue, and now that he knew that it was Tu Qu Tong guarding the south, there was no need to think about it.

"Okay, I agree to marry and form an alliance, but I have to announce it to the world!" In the end, Li Mi was still worried that Li Shimin would deceive them, so he wanted to restrain Li Shimin by announcing the world.

"The county is confused? Shimin also wants to break into the interior of Yuwenshu this time, and once the marriage relationship between me and the King of Chu is announced, then Shimin's arrangement will be all nullified. Li Shimin felt a burst of disdain in his heart, it would be good if the usual marriage was announced, but he was working with his head up, didn't this announcement want me to die early.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's not announce it first, and wait until we get out of danger before we announce it to the public." Yang Xuangan decided.

"Wait until you get out of danger before announcing it? Maybe you won't have a chance to talk after you get off the line! Li Shimin laughed in his heart, but this alliance can be regarded as established, but this is just a profitable alliance.
