Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

After getting engaged, Sujiazhuang is building a house.

The queen was embroidering her wedding dress, and Li Shimin was thinking about how to showdown.

Calculating the time, the day of passing the door is approaching, and Li Shimin is going to have a showdown with the ministers.

above the court,

Eunuch Gao yelled: "The emperor has a decree. If there is something to do, he will play it, and if there is nothing to do, he will leave the court."

Li Shimin sat high on the dragon chair, looked down at the ministers, and said with a slight smile: "My loves, what's the matter?"

The ministers below muttered, they also heard the wind recently, saying that the princess is going to get married.

This was leaked by Li Shimin on purpose, so that they could be mentally prepared.

However, this is gossip between the court and the public, and it cannot be said above the court.

Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, came out to pay homage: "Qizou the emperor, recently Youzhou came to report that Goguryeo in Liaodong is restless and violates borders from time to time."

"It turns out that the Xue Yantuo tribe that belonged to our dynasty is also about to make a move. I think that you should strengthen the defense of Youzhou to prevent accidents."

At this time, Yuangai Suwen of Goguryeo killed the king Rongliu, claimed to be Damozhili, took charge of the Goguryeo government, attacked Silla, and fought against the Tang Dynasty.

The army also ran out from time to time to invade the border of Youzhou, and instigated Xue Yantuo to rebel.

It made Youzhou uneasy.

Li Shimin was a little annoyed when he heard this, and said, "Little Goguryeo, who dares to rebel, is really asking for death."

"When I'm done with what I'm doing, I'll kill them."

Li Shimin said this with confidence.

Su Yu marries Chang Le, that is the son-in-law.

Even if he doesn't want to fight, it's always okay to give him guidance.

Coupled with the dowry gift from Su Yu, Li Shimin will be rich and powerful at that time, so he can fight as he wants.

When the ministers of the DPRK and China heard that Li Shimin was going to destroy Goguryeo, there were a lot of discussions.

The censor Zhang Xuansu paid homage: "Please appease the emperor, Goguryeo is a small country, don't bother Tianwei."

"Besides, the land in Liaodong is bitter and cold. It is useless to obtain it, and it is useless to send troops."

"I think it's enough to defend Youzhou and prevent them from attacking the Central Plains."

Other ministers seconded the proposal and believed that Goguryeo should not be attacked.

Li Shimin said coldly: "My Tang Dynasty is now powerful and prosperous, and the people are abundant."

"The first season of hybrid rice in the south of the Yangtze River has been harvested. I heard that the granary in Yangzhou is full, and every household has a year's surplus of grain."

"When the second season of rice is harvested, the people in the south of the Yangtze River will have enough food for two years."

"People in the Central Plains have three major crops, and the granaries are full."

"At this time, Goguryeo dared to violate the frontier. This is seeking death. How can it not be destroyed."

After Li Shimin returned to Chang'an City, he sent people to inquire about rice from time to time.

I just received the news that the first season of rice has been harvested, and the people in Jiangdong have food in every household.

The government's granary is even more full.

Large ships and large ships of rice were transported to Luoyang and Chang'an.

Li Shimin has already eaten white rice.

Kui Guo Gong Liu Hongji came out to pay homage: "Your Majesty, Goguryeo is a small country, but it is difficult to attack."

"The land of Liaodong is bitter and cold, thousands of miles away from Chang'an. Knowing that it is not beneficial to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, sending troops to attack is a waste of national power."

"At that time, Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, was so rejoicing that he attacked Goguryeo, causing rebellion all over the world."

"The minister thought that Goguryeo should not be attacked."

Other ministers thought so too.

Back then, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty sent troops to attack Goguryeo, fighting back and forth and causing chaos in the world, and the Sui Dynasty was finished by him.

Li Shimin was not happy to hear that.

He actually compared him with Yang Guang.

But what they said was also true. The scope of Goguryeo's activities at this time was the three northeastern provinces.

Occupied the area of ​​Liucheng and Anshi.

These places are often cold and have insufficient light and heat, so they are only suitable for nomads.

For Datang Farming, it is of little significance.

If troops are sent to attack, the transportation of food will be very difficult.

It consumes a lot of national power.

"Okay, is there anything else?"

Li Shimin didn't want to talk about it.

The ministers are also aware of the interest and will not mention this matter any more.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stood at the bottom, knowing Li Shimin's true purpose in court today.

The two of them said something wrong some time ago and wanted to make up for it.

"Your Majesty, I heard some rumors and said..."

Fang Xuanling came out, hesitating to speak.

Li Shimin watched Fang Xuanling and changed the subject, slightly happy.

"What have you heard, let's hear it."

Li Shimin said.

Fang Xuanling paid homage: "I heard that Princess Changle is about to get married."

Everyone has heard the news.

When Fang Xuanling mentioned it in the court hall, everyone was very surprised.

"This old house, why are you talking about these gossips in the hall?"

Cheng Yaojin muttered.

"Yeah, it's not appropriate to ask this question."

Qin Qiong was also surprised that Fang Xuanling shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake.

Why would you ask this question.

The focus of other ministers is whether Princess Changle is really going to get married.

The ministers were talking.

"Please also ask the emperor to clarify this matter, so as to avoid gossip from the government and the public."

Du Ruhui came out to pray.

The ministers all said yes, the eldest princess's marriage is no joke.

The ministers were all discussing, and Li Shimin felt that the time had come.

Li Shimin coughed, and the court became quiet.

"Xing Guogong, where did you hear the news?"

Li Shimin asked.

Fang Xuanling said: "I don't know about it, it seems that it came from the palace."

"Rumors say that the princess is going to marry an unpredictable local tyrant and romantic son."

Fang Xuanling praised Su Yu to the sky.

The officials below were discussing one after another.

"What ghosts and gods are unpredictable? Could it be that Kong Ming is reborn?"

"Local and romantic son? Is this man the reincarnation of the God of Wealth? Dare to speak of a local tyrant in front of the emperor."

"That's right, Princess Changle is the jewel in the Emperor's palm, what a rich and romantic son, nonsense."

"Young Master Merry, I don't know how romantic he is, he is worthy of Princess Changle."

"This Xing Guogong, has he learned to talk nonsense?"

The minister gave Fang Xuanling a bad meal.

"Your Majesty, the rumors are too much, please clarify the rumors."

Du Ruhui also paid homage.

Wei Zheng came out and said: "Your Majesty, Princess Changle is the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, and marriage is not a trivial matter."

"The person who marries Princess Changle must have both character, appearance, family background, talent and money."

"I see that there are no such children in the government and the public, so the marriage of Princess Changle is pure nonsense."

What Wei Zheng said was reasonable and well-founded, and the ministers nodded in praise.

"What Zheng Guogong said is reasonable."

I also feel that Wei Zheng is too demanding.

Cheng Yaojin said: "Old man Wei, according to what you said, the princess will not be able to get married."

"You also need character, appearance, family background, talent, and money. Where can you find them?"

"If the eldest princess does not get married and becomes an old girl, it will be up to the emperor to deal with you."

What Cheng Yaojin said was right, and the ministers all agreed with Cheng Yaojin's statement.

Princess Changle's marriage made the ministers of the court look like grass, and the wind blew on both sides.

For a while it is reasonable to say this, and for a while it is reasonable to say that.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Shimin smiled secretly: These three guys did a good job today.

"My dear gentlemen."

When Li Shimin spoke, the ministers stopped and listened quietly.

"That's right, Changle is getting married."

Li Shimin's voice echoed in the hall.

The ministers were shocked.

It turns out that this is not a rumor, it is actually true.

The ministers stretched their necks, waiting for Li Shimin to continue.

"Tomorrow, Princess Changle will get married, and the son-in-law will come to welcome her."

"All lovers gather in front of the Tai Chi Hall to participate in this wedding."

Li Shimin's words dropped a bombshell on the ministers of the DPRK and China, and their heads were buzzing.

Not only is it true, but the wedding is tomorrow.

The emperor's work is really interesting, and we can do everything without telling us.

Li Xiaogong came out and said, "Your Majesty, who is the son-in-law?"

The other ministers also wanted to know.

They had previously heard that Changsun Chong coveted Princess Changle.

But everyone knows what happened afterwards.

Changsun Chong and Yu Chang were beaten when they were visiting Pingkangfang, stripped naked and hung on the window.

Since then, Chang Sun Chong has no face to face people.

Later, I never heard of anyone who dared to approach Princess Changle.

Everyone thought about it for a long time, and it seems that there is no young man in Chang'an City who is suitable to be a son-in-law.

"Hejian King, you will find out tomorrow."

"There is no need to ask more questions today, you just need to go back and prepare well, and you can participate on time tomorrow."

Li Shimin smiled slightly.

"Okay, step back."

Li Shimin got up and left, leaving a group of ministers in a daze.

"Why did you suddenly get married?"

"Whose kid actually married Princess Changle?"

"I'm afraid Zhao Guogong is very concerned."

"I don't know, it was suddenly announced that we were going to get married."

"It happened suddenly without warning."

The ministers stayed in the hall, and a group of people discussed noisyly.

Fang Xuanling laughed and said, "My lords, go back and prepare presents. The eldest princess is married, we can't lose courtesy."

Cheng Yaojin asked Fang Xuanling: "Old Fang, tell the truth, did the three of you know this beforehand?"

Fang Xuanling pretended to say: "Cheng Zhijie, I don't know either."

"If I knew, why did I ask the emperor to refute the rumor just now?"

Cheng Yaojin sneered and said: "You guys are singing together, and the thief is calling for a thief."

Fang Xuanling said seriously: "Duke Lu, who do you say is a thief? Me, or the emperor?"

Cheng Yaojin realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he turned around and left.

All the ministers also dispersed.
