That night, after Wei Zheng proposed to obtain the cooperation of the Tubo State in a friendly way, the matter was not decided. The ministers, Yeji no longer spoke, after all, this is a royal matter. It is a royal family, and he wants to marry his daughter to a foreigner thousands of miles away.

This kind of thing, whoever puts it on it, everyone has to feel distressed like a knife, and the emperor is also extremely difficult. Therefore, the matter was temporarily postponed. You have to wait for the emperor to do the work, and the emperor himself has to say it, so that this matter can be done.

Indeed, Li Shimin is very reluctant to be close at such a time. For him, there is always a taste of bowing to others, and he doesn't like this feeling of asking for help. On the contrary, he is more willing to take it as a kind of grace to others.

What's more, this is a relative, then he has to marry a clan girl, although he is the emperor, but he has to take into account some clan affection. It is also not easy to open such an opening. However, what Wei Zheng said is right, this method is the most effective and the most beneficial.

However, he never expected that just when he was in a dilemma, such rumors would appear outside overnight. In the past, what he hoped for and enjoyed the most was to hear the voices of the common people praising him. However, this time, although the praise was thunderous, it made him feel extremely sad in his heart.

He was extremely depressed, and he no longer had the heart to stay in the Manna Palace, but walked out of the palace door and slowly walked towards the Lizheng Palace.

"Your Majesty...... You ......"

In the Lizheng Palace, Empress Changsun saw Li Shimin, her eyes were bloodshot. His face was also very bad, and his whole body was full of a tired color, and he suddenly felt a burst of distress. But. She also knew that whenever the emperor encountered a major event in the court, he would always be like this. So, for a while. I don't know what to say.

"It's okay, I'm just tired, I'll just lie down on the couch for a while"

Seeing Empress Changsun's distressed and anxious look, Li Shimin suddenly felt a burst of warmth, and then, with a slight smile, said to Empress Changsun.

"Well, well, come to Your Majesty. The concubine helped you lie down. Look at these two days. I'm going to tire you out. Well, Your Majesty must be hungry, the concubine will prepare some food for you."

Empress Eldest Sun. After helping Li Shimin to slowly lie down on the couch, he immediately got up. I'm going to get him something to eat. After being a husband and wife for so many years, she really knows Li Shimin too well, and she knows that at this time, he must still be hungry.

"No, I'm not hungry and I don't have an appetite, so you can sit here with me for a while."

Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson empress who was about to go to Zhang Luo, and hurriedly waved his hand, saying no, and then asked her to sit beside him. At this moment, he did feel very tired, a kind of exhaustion from the depths of his heart. You need to have someone by your side.

"Well, okay then, then wait until Your Majesty is hungry before eating, see that you are tired, hey, the concubine will rub your shoulders"

Looking at the haggard Li Shimin, the eyes of the eldest grandson queen flashed with great tenderness. Then, she helped Li Shimin up, sat on the couch by herself, and then let Li Shimin's head rest on her lap and began to massage Li Shimin slowly. In this regard, Li Shimin was slightly stunned, but then he smiled and didn't say anything.

At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly felt a burst of comfort. This kind of comfort comes from the body, but also from the mind. Only with Empress Changsun can he experience the kind of warmth that belongs to the husband and wife. In other concubines, it is often just a pleasure.

"Okay, it's much more comfortable now, the queen is not in good health, don't be tired"

Not long after, Li Shimin sat up directly, and then said to Empress Changsun with a face full of love. After all, Empress Eldest Sun is not in good health.

"Look at what Your Majesty said, it seems that the concubine is so weak and can't help it. The concubine is tired, what is it, compared to Your Majesty, it is a world of difference. ”

Empress Changsun also knew that Li Shimin was worried about his body. Indeed, this only gave Li Shimin a pinch of his shoulder, and Empress Changsun was also sweating slightly on her forehead.

"Hehe, the queen seems to be much bolder than usual today."

After getting up, Li Shimin sat on the couch, and then, holding the hand of Empress Changsun, looked at Empress Changsun with a smile on his face and said.

"Your Majesty is making fun of your concubines again, and this is not something I learned from my younger siblings. In the fourth brother's house, I don't pay attention to any etiquette or anything like that, especially when eating, it can be lively, but it is very warm. Especially the last time I went, I went to get the picnic, but I ate all the concubines. ”

Li Shimin's words made Empress Changsun stunned for a moment, and then she understood that Li Shimin meant that he had just let him pilllow on his lap and help him rub his shoulders. However, according to the past, Empress Eldest Sun would definitely not do such an unseemly thing. However, there was no way, she went to the craftsman village to see the situation at Li Feng's house. Compared with that over there, it was a trivial matter, and even, Li Feng pulled Rou Niang, and the two of them walked slowly on the road.

"Hey, it's a pity, we don't have the life of the fourth brother. Don't you know, two days earlier, I almost didn't die of anger by him, and I sent someone to send him a letter about sending troops to Tuyuhun. The queen knows how he replied to me. ”

As soon as he talked about Li Feng, Li Shimin immediately became depressed, especially remembering that a few days ago, Li Feng replied to him, which made him even more depressed.

"Hehe, this concubine can't guess."

Hearing Li Shimin's question, Empress Eldest Sun smiled slightly, and then said. Actually, it's not that she can't guess what Li Feng's temperament is, and she doesn't know, how can she not guess it. Anyway, there must be no good words, and it can't be as the emperor wishes.

"Just four words, what's the matter with me, those four words are still ghostwritten by Yaya. But fortunately, it was written by Yaya, if it was written by him himself, ten have, then it is not about me, but about my. ”

Li Shimin said while viciously guessing the original words in Li Feng's heart.

"Hehe, this fourth brother, that's all."

Even if Empress Changsun had already guessed a little, Li Feng's reply would probably say something. However, after hearing Li Shimin's words, it still made her feel happy for a while. Looking at the world, only this fourth brother dares to reply to the emperor like this.

"Hey, it seems that the fourth brother has really changed, unlike before, when he was crazy at the mention of going to war. I really can't do anything about him now, if this time, he is willing to come out to help me, why should I be so bothered. What's more, there is no need for today's incident that makes it difficult for me to ride a tiger. If this time, he can go into battle with a shawl and go to the Turkic side, why should I ...... Forget it, forget it, it's a headache"

As soon as he talked about these things, Li Shimin suddenly felt a headache. Indeed, in his mind, there was a better way than to borrow troops. That is, directly get Li Feng to the border. With Li Feng in charge there, even if he can't drive the Turks back, he can ensure that the Turks can't advance in the slightest.

Li Shimin, who personally followed Li Yuanba on the battlefield, understands better than anyone what the battlefield with this fourth brother is like. Not to mention other things, just the way of killing people like harvesting wheat can make your own side morale soaring, and on the contrary, make the other party tremble.

This morale is empty, invisible and intangible, but it is real. Just like how many old and shoddy generals are in the Tang Army now. Bi Ruo said, Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Chigong and others, it was completely based on their martial arts and hard work.

It's a pity that Li Shimin, who has talked to Li Feng several times, knows Li Feng better than anyone else. He didn't have that self-confidence, so he invited Li Feng out of Jianghu Village, what kind of national righteousness and the like, it wouldn't work with Li Feng. If Li Feng had that awareness, he would have come out to do things a long time ago.

Therefore, this is the reason why Li Shimin did not mention Li Feng. Because, it is useless to mention it, but it will only cause endless trouble. When the time comes, please not, if you don't invite, you can't do it, so you have a headache.

"Your Majesty, is something happening again, can you tell the concubine?"

Seeing Li Shimin's brows furrowed again, Empress Eldest Sun felt even more distressed, she could understand the suffering of the man in front of her better than anyone else. Therefore, I couldn't help it anymore and asked.

"Hey, indeed, I really have to let you help think about what to do, this time I was really forced into a corner, I was in a dilemma, and it was difficult to ride a tiger."

After a sigh, Li Shimin began to tell Empress Changsun in detail about the rumors outside that he got today.

"What a sinister intention."

After listening, Empress Eldest Sun also gasped. Now, the word has spread outside, and many people have taken this matter seriously and began to praise the emperor. Either when the time comes, they will not get along and say that this is just a rumor. As long as you really want to get along, it's really difficult.

Choose a daughter of the clan and marry her as a princess. So, how will the people of the world view him as an emperor? I only care about the life or death of my own daughter, and I don't care about the life or death of other people's daughters? Also, how will the people of the clan see him as the emperor, I am afraid that they will hate the emperor to death in their hearts.

If there is no such rumor, then it is better to say, after all, this is what the foundation used to do. Now, according to the old method, no one can say anything. However, after this rumor, it has already given everyone a good image. When the time comes, a sudden reversal will be too unbearable. Moreover, such a thing, even an explanation, cannot be explained.

"If you don't have sinister intentions, you deserve death"

As soon as he thought of the person who deliberately spread these rumors, Li Shimin suddenly became angry again.
