The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 469 Kind Changle
"Your Majesty, if you can't bear it, you can make a big mess! Think about it, how much food, grass and military pay are needed to mobilize tens of thousands of troops, how much is the pension after the war, and now we still need Xue Yantuo to control the grassland tribes. If Xue Yantuo is wiped out , More than a dozen tribes will fight, and border violations will occur frequently, if that happens, how will we deal with it!"

Wei Zheng's words are not unreasonable. In theory, marriage is indeed the most time-saving and labor-saving method. If troops are sent to fight, regardless of who will start first, the huge military expenditure will make people feel distressed.

But although what Wei Zheng said was reasonable, Li Daozong didn't think so. As a military general, this old guy has a bad temper, so there's no room for Xue Yantuo to run out and act wildly: "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate to make a marriage. Now that I'm giving you a marriage, where will I put my Tang Dynasty's face!"

Wei Zheng and Li Daozong insisted on their own opinions, Li Shimin was a little hesitant, what they both said made sense, and emotionally speaking, he still leaned towards Li Daozong.

While Li Shimin was hesitating, Wei Zheng turned to Li Daozong: "The face of my Tang Dynasty is more important than the people of my Tang Dynasty? Fighting kills people. Does the king of Rencheng think that face is more important than the people? In Chang'an City, there are How many orphans and widows, how many disabled soldiers, can't you see the city king?"

Li Daozong took two steps forward and stood in front of Wei Zheng, almost face to face with him: "It is because of those disabled soldiers that this old man would not choose to get married. My Tang Dynasty was brought back by those soldiers with their lives. It’s not about letting Datang not be plundered by foreign enemies, they guard Datang with their loyalty, not by marriage!”

"Ren Chengwang, who doesn't have wives and children, who doesn't have parents and brothers, the problems that can be solved by marriage, but you have to use the lives of countless soldiers to solve them, you have a little bit of compassion!"

Although Li Shimin just clamored to go to war, this kind of matter is not something he can decide alone. He must consider the will of the people and balance the forces of all parties in the court. Only when everything is coordinated can he make a decision.

Now that Wei Zheng and Li Daozong have their own opinions, it was difficult for him to judge for a while, and the more he listened, the more angry he became, and finally he patted the armrest of the chair: "Enough, don't quarrel! Let's put this matter aside for now, and discuss it tomorrow! Nothing Ji and Xuanling stay here, everyone else should step back."

Wei Zheng obviously wanted to say something else, but when he looked up and saw Li Shimin's gloomy face, he hesitated for a moment and replied, "No! I will leave!"

"Resign!" Li Daozong, Li Xiaogong and others also bowed in unison, and retreated one by one.

When all the people had retreated, Li Er took a deep breath: "Xuanling, Wuji, tell me your thoughts. What do you think about this incident?"

Changsun Wuji thought for a while: "Your Majesty, apart from other influences, getting married is indeed the best solution! It's just that all my lords of the right age have already married, and some of them are underage. It's hard to say. "

Fang Xuanling thought about the problem a bit deeper, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Your Majesty, getting married can indeed save a lot of trouble, and even get the stability of the border for ten to 20 years. It's just that Xue Yantuo has the potential to replace Turkic. Will it make it stronger again and become the second Turkic?"

This is a problem, but what Lao Fang said is almost the same as if he didn't say it. He said both the pros and cons. Although the opinions he put forward are very pertinent, they are not of any decisive use. Still unable to make a decision, he couldn't help but waved his hands to let Changsun Wuji and the two back down.

However, although Li Er didn't make a decision, the news spread uncontrollably. There was an uproar in Taiyuan City, and all kinds of gossip were flying all over the sky.

The princesses in the palace naturally also received the news, but these little girls are too young, and the marriage has nothing to do with them, so most of them just listen to it.

Only Changle felt the inexplicable crisis. There were not many unmarried princesses in the Tang Dynasty, and she could be regarded as the older one. If she really wanted to get married, she might be the first to bear the brunt.

Thinking of this, the little girl immediately panicked. Although the grassland was said to be so beautiful by Li Muyun, it made people yearn for it, but it was another matter to marry into the grassland.

So after thinking about it all night, the girl sneaked to Old Li Yuan's garden the next day, wanting to ask Grandpa Huang for advice.

After returning to Taiyuan, Li Yuan has been living in seclusion, usually hiding in the garden, drinking and drinking, dazed, seeing Chang Le coming, and vaguely guessing what she wants to do.

Li Lizhi is also witty. She knows that these old men are all treacherous and cunning, so she didn't go around when she saw Li Yuan. She touched her tears and shouted: "Grandpa Huang, Grandpa Huang, please save Changle! Don't let Father The emperor will marry me to the grassland, okay?!"

Although Li Yuan had already guessed what Changle meant, he felt a little pity for the little girl crying, so he patted her on the head and said, "Silly girl, who said that you are going to be married to the grassland? This is your royal father. Haven't made a decision yet?"

"But Grandpa, I am the only princess of the right age in the palace. If the royal father agrees to marry, wouldn't I want...to..." Li Lizhi was very wronged, she pulled Li Yuan's sleeve, tears and snot all the way up wipe.

"Who said you are the only one who is suitable, but there is actually another princess of the right age." Li Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a deep light flashed in them.

"Also? Who, who?!" Li Lizhi was taken aback by the words, and counted all the sisters she knew from beginning to end, even counting her aunt's generation, only to find that she was the most possible.

"The newly promoted Princess Lieyang, have you forgotten?" Old Li Yuan's voice was a little cold.

But Chang Le, who was so worried, didn't hear it, but raised his head in a daze: "Lie Yang? Su Wanqing? She, isn't she..."

"Li Muyun's fiancée, isn't she?" Li Yuan nodded, "But it's a good thing, don't you girl always miss that kid? If that girl Su married into the grassland, most of your affairs will be ruined. "

But at this time, Chang Le didn't seem to hear what Li Yuan said behind, but frowned and muttered to himself: "How can it be, Su Wanqing belongs to Li Muyun... No, this must not happen, Su Wanqing You must not marry into the grassland, I, I want to inform Li Muyun that he must come to Taiyuan immediately!"
