Chapter 433: Li Zhi's marriage

When Li Shimin summoned the Silla delegation to the Taiji Hall and announced the decision of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Yunwen clearly saw a trace of disappointment flashing on Park Zhengyin's face.

However, in the face of Li Shimin's unquestionable words, these envoys wisely chose to remain silent.

Thus, this matter about Silla Goryeo was decided. And the whereabouts mission also continued to stay in Chang'an, waiting for the envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty to send back the news.

And they also saw the busy scene in Chang'an City with their own eyes. Truckloads of grain and grass and truckloads of large black wooden boxes were continuously transported out of Chang'an City, and a team of soldiers arrived outside the city from inside the city to build a large camp. Scattered soldiers gathered in Chang'an from all over the city, and also entered several large camps outside the city.

In just over half a month, at least 150,000 troops gathered outside Chang'an City.

In the face of such a troop strength and the speed of assembly, even the Silla envoys who had already heard of the strong appearance of the Tang Army could not help but be deeply impressed when they saw such strict military discipline and such sophisticated equipment of the Tang Army. At the same time, I am also very pleased with the troop dispatch posture shown by Datang.

During this period of time, although Zhang Yunwen was busy preparing for the war, the court still went to the meeting every once in a while.

At a court meeting, Chu Suiliang wrote a book, stating that when Wei Zheng was directly admonishing Li Shimin, he had privately recorded those words of direct advice and bound them into a book, saying that this move was to let him leave his name for future generations.

After Li Shimin heard this, he was furious, and in addition, Wei Zheng said that Du Zhenglun and Hou Junji had the talent of prime ministers, and recommended the two to Li Shimin as prime ministers. However, in the case of Li Chengqian's rebellion, Hou Junji was beheaded and Du Zhenglun was demoted.

Now this Chu Suiliang gave an admonition, which immediately aroused Li Shimin's anger. At that moment, Li Shimin was going to order the removal of the marriage between Wei Shuyu and Princess Hengshan, and at the same time remove the stele he wrote for Wei Zheng with his own hands.

Looking around at the ministers of the court, no one stood up for Wei Zheng, which made Zhang Yunwen feel sad that everyone was going to tea.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Yunwen took a step forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Your Majesty's move is very inappropriate!" ”

Li Shimin, who was on the top of his anger, looked at Zhang Yunwen and said coldly: "What's wrong? ”

Zhang Yunwen said: "Before the death of Duke Wei, Your Majesty once referred to Princess Hengshan and matched her to Shuyu, the son of Duke Wei, and now he wants to retract his previous words, isn't it untrustworthy?" How could Your Majesty, as the king of a nation, do such unbelieving? ”

As soon as Zhang Yunwen's words fell, Chu Suiliang said: "Your Majesty was deceived by Wei Zheng before, so he gave the marriage. Now, this Wei Zheng first recommended two people suspected of rebellion, and then privately compiled the admonitions, His Majesty saw his face clearly, and retracted his previous words, what's wrong? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yunwen's heart suddenly became angry, these literati distorted the facts, it was a set of things, and it was really shameless. At the moment, he said coldly: "Hmph, Lord Chu, how can Wei Zheng be able to deceive His Majesty for more than ten years!" Even if His Majesty was blinded, but these hundreds of ministers were also deceived by it, and only today did they discover Wei Zheng's face? ”

"This ......" Chu Suiliang was speechless for a moment.

Zhang Yunwen said coldly again: "Lord Chu, I have heard that since the death of Duke Wei, Lord Chu, you have often compared yourself to the first minister after Wei Zheng, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"You ......" Chu Suiliang was about to refute, Li Shimin said fiercely: "Enough!" Fight any more! ”

Zhang Yunwen and Chu Suiliang immediately shut up and stopped talking.

Li Shimin glanced at the two of them: "Wei Zheng has followed me since the first year of Zhenguan, and he has been conscientious for more than ten years!" Yunwen is right, this matter is indeed inappropriate for me! Okay, Chu Aiqing, Zhang Aiqing, this matter will be stopped for the time being, you can go down first! ”

"Whoa!" The two of them shook at the same time. However, at the moment when he bowed his waist, Zhang Yunwen clearly saw the resentment in Chu Suiliang's eyes.

Facing Chu Suiliang, Zhang Yunwen didn't have anything to worry about. Although Chu Suiliang is more favored in front of Li Shimin, he is not bad. In addition, Zhang Yunwen believes that it is difficult to compare the pen with a fist!

After this incident, Zhang Yunwen also realized Li Shimin's impermanence, and he became more cautious.

"Hehe, brother-in-law, you are really powerful in the court, and you have spoken twice in a row that Chu Suiliang is speechless!" After the court meeting ended, Li Zhi ran over and pulled Zhang Yunwen and said.

Zhang Yunwen waved his hand and said, "Alas, don't mention this, I'm still worried about it now!" After this incident, I guess I offended that Chu Suiliang! Damn, these literati's hearts are as small as needles, but they just argue with him, and most of them will hold grudges! ”

Li Zhi immediately patted his chest: "It's okay, watch Xiaozhi protect you!" I also can't get used to Chu Suiliang and that group of old sour Confucians, one by one nagging in front of me all day long about benevolence, benevolence and the like, and I have to keep a strained face all day long, and I am usually reprimanded for misbehavior when I usually laugh. It's so depressing! ”

When Zhang Yunwen heard this, he said solemnly: "Xiaozhi, the only thing my brother-in-law can teach you is to fight and the like, but you will take the throne in the future, and if you take over this big empire, you can't just rely on war, you have to listen to their words." Well, of course, when you listen to this, you should also pay attention, don't listen to everything, learn to distinguish by yourself! ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he immediately bowed his head solemnly and said, "Xiaozhi has written down this matter!" ”

After saying that, the two fell silent and walked quietly along the marble paved road.

Suddenly, Li Zhi grabbed Zhang Yunwen's sleeve and said pleadingly: "Brother-in-law, Xiaozhi begs you for something!" ”

Zhang Yunwen looked at Li Zhi suspiciously, not knowing what else this prince asked of him.

Li Zhi glanced around and said in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, in another month, my father will order the draft for the East Palace!" ”

When Zhang Yunwen heard this, he knew that there was something to say below, so he said perfunctorily: "Draft? All right! I see that there are indeed fewer palace maids in your East Palace! ”

Li Zhi hurriedly shook his head and said: "Brother-in-law, I don't know immediately, this draft is not only about selecting palace maids, but also about selecting the main concubine and side concubine for me!" ”

"Heh, you're going to get married? Not bad! It's time to find someone to discipline you! So as not to mess with a few of your personal maids all day long! Zhang Yunwen immediately laughed when he heard this.

"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? Where is Xiaozhi messing around with them all day long? Li Zhi's white face suddenly flushed, and Zhang Yunwen shook his head. Alas, this kid's skin is still too thin, and he has to continue to practice!

"Isn't it? I went to the East Palace several times to look for you, and I saw you and the plump maid flirting with each other! Zhang Yunwen continued to laugh.

Li Zhi put away his smile, looked at Zhang Yunwen, and said in his mouth: "But brother-in-law, Xiaozhi already has someone in his heart!" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Yunwen became more and more curious, "Could it be the maid in the East Palace?" ”

Li Zhi shook his head, with an embarrassed smile on his face: "It's not in the East Palace, it's the maid next to the sister of Jinyang!" ”

"Oh! ...... beside Princess Jinyang What did you say? Who? Zhang Yunwen reacted suddenly, isn't the maid next to Princess Jinyang that Wu Meiniang? Could it be that this is the legendary fate?

"Wu Meiniang, Wu Clan! You sent her to Jinyang girl in the first place! Li Zhi saw Zhang Yunwen's stunned expression and said suspiciously.

Zhang Yunwen hurriedly pulled Li Zhi to a secluded place: "Xiaozhi, let me ask you, you have to answer honestly!" ”

"Hmm!"

"What do you really like about the Wu Clan?"

"Well, I don't know! When facing the Nawu clan, it was like being in front of a sister next door. During the time when she was guarding the mausoleum, she was mostly taking care of me, boiling water and ......washing clothes for me," said Li Zhi, who was already confused.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but pat his head violently, it seems that this guy Li Zhi has completely fallen in.

"Brother-in-law, I just beg you to think of a way so that I can marry Navu!" Li Zhi lowered his head, blushed, didn't see Zhang Yunwen's expression on his forehead, and said in a low voice.

When Zhang Yunwen heard this, he couldn't help but think about it. It seems that this Li Zhi is really in love with Wu Meiniang. Should I do this a favor or not? After helping, will Wu Meiniang become a female emperor like in history?

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Yunwen raised his head violently, and his mind was decided. In Li Zhi's expectant gaze, Zhang Yunwen said softly: "Okay, I'll try it!" ”
