Chapter 257: Tricks of the Rivers and Lakes

In Li Shimin's impression, Dongyang is the most inconspicuous of all his children, because her personality is too gentle, and she never rushes to him like other princes and princesses in order to compete for favor.

After a long time, Li Shimin has also gotten used to it, like her mother, who used to be a palace maid, she has never been good at fighting for anything, except for being quiet, that is, waiting, her mother has been waiting for him for half her life. Even when he died, he died quietly, and he didn't know the news until several days after his death.

And Dongyang seems to have completely inherited her mother's character, what Li Shimin gives her, she will accept what she gives, she never wants, she has been raised in the deep palace since she was a child, and she has never even walked out of the palace gate.

How could such a gentle woman look at him with such a terrible gaze?

Li Shimin only felt a buzzing sound in his ears, and a marriage arranged for her became the evil cause of hatred between father and daughter.

He suddenly realized that his father had failed to do well.

Dongyang stood at the door of the hall, looking at Li Shimin quietly, looking at her only relative in this world, and also the relative who broke up the best marriage in her life.

"Father, is imperial power really that important? Even a daughter can be sacrificed for the sake of it? โ€

Li Shimin was stunned, he was not used to Dongyang's tone becoming so sharp and aggressive.

Immediately, Li Shimin's face quickly became gloomy: "You are my daughter, how can I sacrifice you?" What's bad about high fulfillment? Whether it is character or literary talent and martial arts, they are all the best matches, and I am the best person I choose for you, is it to push you into the fire pit? โ€

Dongyang smiled sadly: "No matter how good Gao is performed, he is not the person his daughter wants after all." What is not a fire pit entrusted to a person in this life? โ€

Li Shimin was furious: "You ...... So presumptuous! Who gave you the courage to speak to me like this! โ€

Dongyang smiled sadly: "There is nothing to love in life, and you will naturally be bold." โ€

Li Shimin said angrily: "I know that you are unwilling, you want to marry Li Su's muddy boy, what's so good about that kid?" Look at Sven Erya. In fact, with a smooth head and a bad stomach, such a person is a good match for you? โ€

Dongyang took a deep breath and said: "Li Su is good or bad, I know best, even if others are good, in my eyes, they are not even worthy of lifting shoes for Li Su!" โ€

Li Shimin was furious and narrowed his eyes slightly. There was a wisp of anger in his eyes, and he said, "Li Su is good at everything, so, how are you doing?" โ€

Having said this, Dongyang simply completely abandoned his previous reserve and cowardice, raised his neck fiercely, glared at Li Shimin, and said loudly: "My daughter will not marry Li Su in this life!" โ€

Li Shimin stared at her silently. The hall was inexplicably filled with a cold air for a long time. Li Shimin said gloomily: "If it is not Li Su, I will not marry...... Good ambition, I have a good daughter! I ask you, if Li Su suddenly becomes a dead man, who will you marry? โ€

*************************************************************

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Chang'an City is now full of rumors, all say that the marriage between the royal family and the Gao family will have retribution, I heard that this morning even the imperial historians of the Imperial History Observatory have been involved in this matter. Many courtiers also questioned the appropriateness of the marriage between the royal family and the Gao family, and Gao Shilian was so angry that his nose was crooked......"

Under the ginkgo tree at the entrance of the village, Wang Zhi told Li Su in detail about the rumors of Chang'an City, and his expression was quite proud.

An ordinary son of a Zhuang family can actually arouse the topic of the court. Let the monarchs and ministers of the court quarrel with each other, which can be regarded as glory for Wang Zhi.

Li Su squatted on the ground, nodding absentmindedly, but his eyes were staring at the ant nest in the tree hole, his mind was not on Wang Zhi's topic at all, and the ant nest in front of him seemed to be much more interesting than the so-called court monarchs.

Seeing that Li Su did not react, and the expected praise was delayed, Wang Zhi couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"Hey, Li Su, you said that the marriage between the two families will have retribution, is it true or false? Is there really retribution? โ€

Li Su snorted and said, "Of course there is retribution." โ€

Wang Zhi lowered his voice and asked quietly, "Is there really retribution?" Daojun or Bodhisattva? โ€

Li Su cocked his thumb and pointed to his chest: "I'll report it." โ€

"How do you report it?"

Li Su didn't answer, how to retribution is the most critical part of all plans, and it can't be leaked out yet, and neither can Wang Zhi.

"Have you ever seen a juggler?" Li Su suddenly changed the subject.

Wang Zhi nodded hurriedly: "I've seen it, in the past, there were monks or Taoist priests from the traveling side who passed by our village to turn into a fate, and they usually had to change a trick to turn into a fate, and the monks and Taoists who couldn't do tricks must be fake." โ€

"What has the monk and Taoist become?"

Wang Zhi was energetic, his eyes lit up: "They will be a lot, the old people in the village said that it was a fairy art, and they were so scared that they kowtowed after reading it, I think it is a trick, such as slashing demons with a sword, reciting a few verses casually, and then a sword slashes towards the white paper, and there is a shadow of a demon on the paper, and there is blood, and it is like a fireball to subdue the demon, the yellow rune paper is crumpled into a ball and thrown into the sky, and it turns into a big fireball with a bang, and you can hear the squeaky cry of the demon, and for example, ......"

Speaking of tricks, Wang Zhi gushed in detail, and his expression revealed a sense of admiration and awe for the unknown.

Li Su sighed and muttered: "For more than a thousand years, these charlatan tricks have not grown at all, and they are still so clumsy......"

"Huh? Poor? What's clumsy? Wang Zhi heard the disdain in Li Su's words.

Li Su looked at him and said with a smile: "Actually, I also know immortal arts, do you believe it or not?" โ€

"Faith!" Wang Zhi nodded without hesitation, he has developed a habit for a long time, what Li Su said will definitely not be false, he said that he knows immortal arts, then he will definitely do immortal arts.

Pulling Li Su's sleeve, Wang Zhiyang begged: "You change one, the last time I saw a Taoist priest do tricks was five or six years ago......

Li Su looked up at the sky, and suddenly changed the topic again, and said, "How many days have the rumors been circulating in Chang'an City?" โ€

Wang Zhi counted the days with his fingers and said, "It's been three days, and today is the second day of the new year." On the seventh day of the new year, Princess Dongyang will marry the son of the Gao family......"

Li Su was silent, lowered his head and deduced his plan again from beginning to end, and after making sure that it was correct, he raised his head and said: "The rumor is just a foreshadowing, since it has been spread for three days, and it has already made trouble in the court." It is estimated that the fire is almost over, and now both the courtiers and the people in Chang'an City have at least heard that the marriage of the two families will be retributed, right? โ€

Wang Zhi patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, you can't be wrong, it's one thing for them to believe this rumor or not, but I can guarantee that all the people in Chang'an know this rumor, otherwise there will be no Lord Yushi to play this matter to the court this morning, the court." It is a place where state affairs are played, and those who are in charge of the people and the army can make trouble in the court, so it can be seen that rumors have also become a state affair......"

Wang Zhi's ugly face was full of sรจ and an inexplicable sense of admiration for himself.

A strange smile appeared at the corner of Li Su's mouth, and there was an eerie taste in his smile.

"In this way, the marriage between the royal family and the Gao family is afraid that it will be yellow, and tomorrow will be the third day of the new year. In the evening, let them see what retribution is and what a dilemma is. โ€

Li Su's smile sent a chill down Wang Zhi's back. After being stunned for a long time, he said sneeringly: "The Gao family can't marry Princess Dongyang, will Your Majesty marry her to you?" โ€

Li Su's smile dimmed instantly, and he shook his head and said bitterly: "With His Majesty's temperament, even if the Gao family can't marry Dongyang, he will definitely not marry her to me." Even if Dongyang is lonely and old, he will never allow it to me. โ€

Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then raised his voice angrily: "Why? Isn't it pleasing to your eyes when you look at it like this? What the hell are you messing with him? โ€

Li Su said coldly: "Because the majesty and face of the emperor are very important, more important than the happiness of his own daughter and even life and death, so he is the emperor." And we, just subjects. โ€

Wang Zhi didn't understand, but he understood the general meaning, hung his head in frustration, and sighed: "In this way, you and Dongyang will not be able to marry in this life?" โ€

Li Su looked up at the gloomy haze in the sky, was silent for a long time, and suddenly grinned.

"There will always be hope, as long as we are all alive."

***********************************************************

There are not many people around Li Su who can be used, because there are too few people who can be trusted.

It is not easy to get Li Su's trust, he is too suspicious, more suspicious than Cao Cao, in this strange era, it is too easy to believe that others are undoubtedly digging their own graves, so Li Su has always maintained a high degree of vigilance after coming to this era.

There are too few people who trust, and when the director wants to use people, he finds that there are too few people who can use them, Daddy Li Daozheng naturally trusts unconditionally, Dongyang also trusts unconditionally, and so do the Wang brothers and Zheng Xiaolou, but Li Su is about to do this, Dad and Dongyang naturally can't get involved, and the only people left who can use it are the Wang brothers and Zheng Xiaolou.

Wang Zhi must always pay attention to rumors and movements in Chang'an City, so Wang Zhu was pulled out of his home by Li Su.

Wang Zhu is very righteous towards his friends, but what Li Su asked him to do today made him very incomprehensible, not only did he not understand, but he was also disgusted and disgusted.

"Collect...... Urine? This is the tenth time Wang Zhu asked Li Su, and every time he asked very unwillingly, every time he questioned his hearing.

Li Su replied to him for the tenth time: "Yes, collect urine, human urine, about ten buckets." โ€

The same answer for the tenth time finally made Wang Zhu die.

"And then?"

And then ...... Set up a pot on high heat, boil urine, and boil ten buckets of urine. โ€

Wang Zhu stopped talking, his face was glowing with a faint green light, and his eyes gradually changed when he looked at Li Su, this good brother and his beloved woman seemed to be a little abnormal since he was separated by His Majesty, many years ago, there was a madman wandering around in Taiping Village, smirking when he saw people, and taking off his pants when he saw a girl, and carefully recalling, the expression of that madman is very similar to the current Li Su......
