Li Xiaogong's sudden question really made Lu Xin a little overwhelmed. Why should a high-ranking county king care about his marriage? Although Lu Xin didn't understand Li Xiaogong's intentions, he couldn't say that his real age was actually only eleven years old. At this age, a normal child is not yet mature.

was helpless in his heart, but Lu Xin also had to smile and said: "Thank you for the prince's care, the grass people have no marriage contract yet." At the moment, I just want to follow the master and practice, and I don't want to do anything with men and women. ”

"Hahahaha, it's fine. Since ancient times, this hero has been sad to pass the beauty pass. Emperor Xin is like this, and so is the overlord Xiang Yu. Those who have passed the beauty pass are all immortals. You Taoist onmyoji often say that the love of men and women is the most poisonous poison in the world. But this king, I just like to drink this poison, it's really a layman, ahhahahaha......"

Li Xiaogong turned his head and laughed, but his eyes were always staring at the three princes beside Li Shimin. It seems that the words in his mouth are not for Lu Xin. Seeing this, Li Chunfeng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and patted Lu Xin's shoulder, telling him not to think about it.

At the same time, the Turkic princess Ashnanami began to take the seat, and the seat was to the left of Li Shimin, almost in the same straight line as the three princes. The rest of the Turkic soldiers all stood behind the princess and had no seats.

Before the banquet began, Li Shimin first said a few congratulatory words and congratulated the top three of the new science and technology scholars. Then he expressed his expectations for the hundred officials, and said it with emotion and great incendiary power. In the end, Li Shimin officially announced that the Tang Emperor agreed to the peace request of the Turkic Jieli Khan. And at this banquet, let Princess Ashnanami choose a like-minded prince as her husband, to show the openness of the Tang Dynasty and respect for the Turkic country.

Li Shimin's words were immediately applauded by the Turkic mission. On the Datang side, although a few old ministers felt that it was inappropriate, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others had no opinions, and no one stood up to say anything. With the shouting of the chief eunuch beside Li Shimin, ninety-nine eighty-one brightly dressed dancers entered one after another. The feast began in a burst of singing and dancing vocal music.

Because it was a banquet for the Turkic princess, the imperial court specially made some special delicacies of the Turkic country. There are more than a dozen kinds of alcohol alone. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin naturally wanted to exhaust his ways in front of the Turks to show the richness and strength of the Tang Dynasty. But Lu Xin, as an outsider, has nothing to do with the imperial court, but he can't let go of his hands and feet to eat and drink.

Looking at the scholar not far away, this Tanhua ate very happily, with a mouth full of big fish and meat, like a demon who had not eaten for three days and three nights. Although Lu Xin felt a little embarrassed, it was not the first day he knew him, so he didn't feel strange. The scholar, if he hadn't pretended to have some talent in his stomach, would be no different from the ruffians on the street. However, such a true temperament is the reason why Lu Xin is willing to make friends with scholars.

What a person looks like on the outside can never replace his heart. Just like Tu Chengli, on the surface, he looks timid, poor, lustful, greedy for money, greedy, and verbose. But the heart is actually very kind, and there is a great sense of justice. Maybe at first glance, you think it's a scoundrel and want to stay away from him. But after getting to know each other, you will feel very comfortable and comfortable staying with such a person. And some people, on the bright side, are righteous and awe-inspiring, worrying about the worries of the world first, and happy after the world's joys. But behind the scenes, he has done all the bad things, and he can calculate everyone.

"Alas, once you enter the court, although you are a freshly dressed and angry horse, you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day. But what you have to face in the future is intrigue and deceit. Brother Tu, I hope you can always keep your heart and have smooth sailing! ”

With emotion in his heart, Lu Xin couldn't help but raise his glass in the direction of the scholar and take a sip of mare's milk wine. I only felt a hot current rushing into my throat, and the fragrance was refreshing. But when he put down his glass and was about to eat some fruit, his heart shook violently, and he felt that an incomparably sharp gaze was watching him. Looking up, about twenty meters away, Lu Tingfang, who was sitting opposite, was bypassing the back of the eldest grandson Wuji and looking at him with a very complicated gaze.

The two brothers said goodbye to Hongwen Pavilion and looked at each other again. One is the champion of the dynasty, a master of the sevenfold or more realm. The other is just a little-known cloth cloth and grass people. Lu Xin didn't know why his cousin, who loved him back then, became what he is now. But he is no longer the ignorant and crying child he was back then.

The two sides looked at each other for a moment, and there was no change in expression on their faces. Shortly thereafter, the sound of the music slowly faded away, and the dancers retreated one after another. Immediately, Li Shimin coughed dryly, and the audience instantly fell silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since I ascended the throne, although the world has been stable, there is no shortage of opposition in various places. The wealthy families in the state capitals, some feudal kings left over from the previous dynasty, and some Taoist demon sects, all want to take the head of my Li Shimin and kill me in the Tang ......Dynasty."

Li Shimin's sudden words instantly made the ministers below panic. The eldest grandson Wuji immediately stood up, his face changed greatly, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty's martial arts is a hero who will immediately fight the world. Without Your Majesty, there would be no national peace and security in my Datang. The people of the state capitals will not have a peaceful life. Your Majesty is a wise monarch, and he will definitely be able to convince the Quartet. If someone wants to hurt His Majesty, it is also some vicious rebel and thief, so there is no need to worry. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said impassionedly, and as he spoke, his eyes turned on the side of the Turkic Mission many times. Li Shimin naturally understood what the eldest grandson Wuji was worried about, and immediately waved his hand and laughed.

"I know what the auxiliary machine said in my heart, and you Aiqing don't have to make a fuss. I just want to say a few words from my heart to you Aiqing through the wine. Although there are Turkic envoys here, the third princess is about to become my daughter-in-law, so she is naturally a family, and there is no need to be taboo. In fact, among the kings of all dynasties, which one has no enemies? Let's just say that my old opponent of the Tang Dynasty, Jieli Khan, has not also fought with me for so many years? But in this world, there is no eternal enmity. As long as we wait for the monarchs and ministers to work hard to make the people of the world strong, why can't I worry about the Tang Dynasty and make the Quartet convinced? ”

"Your Majesty is wise and martial, and the ministers are willing to smear your Majesty's liver and brain, and never give up."

As soon as Li Shimin's words spoke, all the ministers got up one after another to toast and slapped their ass. When Li Shimin saw it, he was naturally extremely useful, and his expression became more and more happy. His words, as long as anyone who is not stupid, can hear the overtones, and they are clearly for the Turkic mission. Moreover, this shrewd emperor wants to express much more than that.

"Okay, okay, all of you Aiqing sit down. Something happened in Chang'an City last night, and some of the Aiqing here must have heard about it. Fortunately, my Datang spirit is not exhausted, and I have to be helped by many masters to save the day. Here, I would like to pour wine for two people in person as a token of gratitude. ”

When Li Shimin said this, he suddenly stood up from his seat, and then walked off the high platform with a pot of wine in his hand. He first went in the direction of the eldest grandson Wuji, and when he walked back, he whispered a few words to Yuan Tiangang's side and poured him a glass of wine. Immediately, Li Shimin walked to Lu Xin's master and apprentice again, said a few words of thanks to Li Chunfeng, and also filled him with a wine glass. The emperor's move instantly sparked discussions among the ministers. The emperor poured the wine himself, but no one here had such a big face.

"These two immortal masters are Taoist masters and have supreme mana. If it weren't for the help of the two immortal masters last night, my people in Chang'an would probably be more auspicious. Today, I want to seal the two immortal masters as my Tang Dynasty national teachers, reward a thousand taels of silver, and seal the marquis of the country and the marquis of the town. At the same time, the two immortal masters were in charge of the Taibu Department and stayed in Chang'an for inquiries. I did this to tell the people of the world that although I in the Tang Dynasty admired Confucianism and respected Confucius, the imperial court also respected Buddhism and Taoism. I hope to create an enlightened and prosperous world. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any objections? ”

"Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, knows people well, and the ministers must follow Your Majesty, do their best, and die."

The eldest grandson Wuji was the first to speak in agreement with Li Shimin's decision, and immediately, the two prime ministers, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, also stood up to praise him. Seeing that these three people have no objections, how can the rest of the ministers dare to say nothing? So they stood up one after another and shouted "Your Majesty Shengming".

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lu Xin couldn't help but be a little shocked. Even Li Xiaogong in front of him was very surprised.

The title of this national teacher is not something that everyone can get. Although there is no rank and no real power, it is an existence that even the emperor must respect. Moreover, Li Shimin not only let Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng take charge of the Taibu Administration, but also awarded the titles of the two, which shows the intention of solicitation. The marquis, in the Tang Dynasty, is at least a title from the third grade, which is already very high.

"Master, what kind of place is this Taibu Bureau?"

"Taichang Temple placed a suburban social office in Beijing, in charge of the law of divination. Your Majesty's move is too profound. ”

"What does the master mean?"

"Hahaha, Emperor Chrysostom said that the master's meaning is not important. What matters is what the other person is thinking. ”

Li Chunfeng took a sip of wine, his eyes were like torches, and he looked at Yuan Tiangang opposite and smiled lightly. Lu Xin didn't understand what his master was thinking, but at this time, there were many people with mixed eyes, and it was not easy to ask too much. Seeing that no one objected to his decision, Li Shimin walked back to his position and sat down very happily. I saw that he said a few words to the crown prince Li Chengqian next to him, and looked at the Turkic mission with a smile.

"Su Wen Jieli Khan has a personal army under his command, named "Wolf Tu". The people inside are all brave and good at fighting, and their swordsmanship is skillful. Today, I wonder if I can open my eyes? ”

"Since Your Majesty wants to see the sword technique, General Ale, how about you perform for Your Majesty?"

In the face of Li Shimin's request, Princess Ashnanami seemed to have expected it, and almost without hesitation, she turned her head to look at the Turkic general behind her.
