Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 145: Li Shimin shakes!All benefits and no harm!
"Really? Then I'll wait and see."

The Patriarch of the Li family in Longxi laughed.

This is a big cake, I didn't expect that at this age, I could still be painted a big cake.

Shaking his head, he continued: "Okay, let's stop gossip, how about it? His Royal Highness King Wei has already arranged for the Turkic mission?"

The strength of the Turks is obvious to all.

The issue that their aristocratic family considers is to continue their own inheritance. Naturally, they attach more importance to the Turks than to the Tang Dynasty.

They must be fully prepared to make their relationship with Turks closer.

Only in this way, if one day the Turks break through the Tang Dynasty and go all the way south, the family will have greater confidence in protecting their own inheritance.

As for the people or something.

It's just a bunch of building ants, something they can throw away at any time.

"It has been arranged. We have also negotiated with the Turkic mission. Everything is going well."

Wei Ting took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

Hearing this, the Patriarch of the Li family in Longxi and the others let out a long sigh of relief.

"That's good, that's good, I don't know... What are the conditions for Turks this year?"

Qinghe Cui's Patriarch asked.

Everyone also looked at Wei Ting, they were still more concerned about this matter.

After all, the imperial court has issued, and their aristocratic clan will also issue some things.

The Turkic people are coming, how can their aristocratic clan not show it?
Wei Ting spoke out the Turkic request one by one.

The Patriarch of the Li Clan in Longxi nodded lightly, and said: "Not too much, not too much, even adding another [-]% is not harmful, as long as you can coax the Turks well."

"It's a big deal, no matter how hard it is for the common people, hehehe....For those issued by the imperial court, our aristocratic family will also give a copy to the Turks, in the name of our aristocratic family."

Patriarch Cui of Qinghe said with a smile: "That's right, the primary purpose now is to appease the Turks. This is not much."

He is also very satisfied.

"However, didn't the Turkic prince follow this time? He has a request."

Chai Lingwu said with a smile beside him.

"Prince Turkic? What does he want?"

The Patriarch of the Li family in Longxi frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "How much gold does he want?" 1
"No, no gold."

Chai Lingwu shook his head.

"Food? Or silk?"

"neither."

"what is that?"

Everyone stared at Chai Lingwu with serious eyes.

"He wants... Princess Changle."

Princess Changle? !
As soon as these words came out, cheerful laughter resounded in the lobby.

"A woman, hahaha, then give it to him."

"Let that Turkic prince prostrate himself on the belly of our Tang princess."

The Patriarch of the Li family in Longxi waved his sleeves disapprovingly.

"Tell Li Jia Erlang about this request. We will add fuel to the flames, and he will definitely agree."

"Small things, all of you, get ready. Although it's not Li Chengqian who is preparing the tribute this time, it doesn't matter if it's not him."

"Tomorrow morning, tell Li Jia Erlang about this, hehehe... Li Jia Erlang. It seems that this time he will have a headache again. I really don't know how he can get out so many tributes."

The Patriarch of the Li family in Longxi grinned.

"If you can't give it, then don't be the emperor. It just so happens that with the support of the Turks and our support, even the king of Wei, Li Tai, is...qualified."

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed happily.

………………….
The Turks have entered the city.

The news spread like a plague in Chang'an City.

After all, it's not a small thing.

The people in Chang'an all know that their country will give a large sum of money to others again.

They are reluctant.

But if you don't want to, what can you do?

Not to mention, when they first entered the city, the Turkic people were so disrespectful to Princess Changle, which really annoyed the common people!Aggrieved! !
However, they have nothing to do.

This feeling made the people extremely depressed.

"This time, Turkic came with a fierce attack. That so-called Turkic prince really went too far. He even provoked my Princess Datang in public!!"

"Who said no, mother, I was standing by the side at that time. These guys are so irritating. If it weren't for the daughter of the Du Mansion by his side, Princess Changle would have been forcibly taken away by him."

"Damn it, why didn't this group of Turks get beaten to death, and they dared to come to my Tang Dynasty to do such rude things!!"

"Hey... who can come and cure them, I've seen them upset for a long time, it's really..."

"Treatment? How to cure it? Unless one day, our Tang Dynasty can defeat them, but why do I feel that this time is so far away?"

"Difficult, difficult, Turkic cavalry, invincible in the world, the horror of three years ago is still vivid in my memory, damn it, damn it!"

"......."

In Chang'an, every commoner has helplessness on his face, deep helplessness.

They are unwilling.

But…….
Their strength is too weak.

It cannot be compared with the Turks at all.

We can only pin our hopes on the imperial court.

……………….
Changan.

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin sat at the top, and Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui stood below, all frowning.

They received the news that after the Turkic mission entered Chang'an, they did not go to the Ministry of Rites to rest, nor did they come directly to the imperial city to meet His Majesty.

Instead... Instead, he went straight to Wei Wangfu.

"Your Majesty, this matter... Maybe it's because the Turkic people who came to Tang Dynasty have been very close to the King of Wei in the past few years, and they think that the King of Wei is the one who receives them, so... this time they came to Chang'an, they just Go directly to His Royal Highness King Wei."

Changsun Wuji thought for a while, then said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, this is not surprising. His Royal Highness the King of Wei has helped to deal with the Turks in the past few years, and he is even more enthusiastic than His Highness the Crown Prince. He often deals with Turks, so when the Turks came, he went directly to the Wei Palace. "

Wei Zheng also agreed.

After all, they are both Dukes of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Tai was born of Li Shimin.

At this time, it is absolutely impossible to add insult to injury, but try to excuse Li Tai.

To be honest, this time, Prince Wei's Mansion has crossed the line a bit.

A prince actually meddled in state-level affairs.

His interview with the Turks represented Datang's face, and Li Tai did not have the qualifications yet.

Li Shimin nodded when he heard the words, waved his hands casually, and didn't bother to argue on this issue.

The reason why he was unhappy was not because Li Tai received the Turkic mission privately, but because he received the Turkic mission together with Wei Ting, Chai Lingwu and the others.

King Wei has also started forming cliques, and the relationship with Wei Ting and the others is already so close?

This is called blindness.

Coupled with the information from the secret investigation by the Jinwu Guard...
Forget it.

Li Shimin shook his head, too lazy to think about it.

"The Turkic people are here, think of a way, how to beat them well."

"Such a beautiful glass shape, they can't just be so cheap."

Li Shimin looked at the three of them.

Empty glove white wolf!
Not only must the Turkic people not be able to take away a single grain of Datang, but on the contrary, they must pay a price.In exchange for such a "baby".

This requires careful planning
"Your Majesty, this... Hahaha, I have been racking my brains these days, and finally, I have a plan."

Wei Zheng's eyes flickered slightly, his brows were wide open, and a cunning look appeared on his old face.

Li Shimin regained his spirits instantly.

"Oh? How to say?!"

he asked quickly.

Wei Zheng pursed his lips, and ran to Li Shimin's table with Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui. The four of them gathered their heads together and started discussing.

Silent all night.

When the fish-belly white in the east slowly lit up, Li Shimin walked into the hall with a calm face.

All the officials are already waiting.

All eyes followed Li Shimin, staring.

Li Shimin's eyes were indifferent, and he scanned the lower part lightly, and finally landed on Wei Ting and Chai Lingwu.

"Zhen, I heard that the Turkic mission entered the city yesterday? Wei Aiqing, is there such a thing?!"

Li Shimin asked.

Wei Ting's eyes jumped, he hurried out of the queue, bowed slightly, and placed the jade tablet horizontally in his hand.

"Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing. The Turkic mission entered the city and went straight to the Wei Palace. We were also unexpected. We had no choice but to accompany them first."

Wei Ting replied.

Li Shimin nodded.

"Is that so, then I don't know, what did the Turkic mission say to King Wei? This time, the Turkic mission came to Chang'an, what do you want?"

"If Wei Aiqing knows, let me reveal a thing or two first, and I will think about it when the Turkic mission formally submits the credentials."

Li Shimin said calmly.

This time, Li Chengqian's right to dispatch Turkic supplies was cancelled. Naturally, if the amount of Turkic supplies to be dispatched was to be formally determined, it would not be confirmed until the Turks officially reported the amount to Li Shimin and Li Shimin agreed.

In the past, Li Chengqian could be directly determined.

Li Shimin only knows a thing or two.

But this year, Li Shimin has to arrange everything by himself.

Wei Ting was slightly shocked.

coming!

He thought softly!
But don't panic.

Yesterday, in the main residence of the Li family in Longxi, all the strategies had been discussed.

"Your Majesty, the Turkic mission didn't know that it was His Majesty who presided over this time, so when they learned that it was not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they thought it was His Royal Highness King Wei, so they directly told His Highness Wei King what they needed."

"I'm here, and I've also heard that this time, the Turkic mission is asking for more."

Wei Ting spoke up.

But this time, he directly increased the amount by [-]%! ! !
Li Shimin frowned slightly.

these numbers...
Far more than ever.

This year, the Turkic appetite is too big.

"Wei Aiqing, do you agree to this?"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

"Of course not. Your Majesty, the ministers argued hard with His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and finally forced him to reduce it by as much as [-]%. Moreover, it brought a great thing to His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, this is the list of numbers left by the Turkic Mission. Please have a look at your Majesty."

Wei Ting took out a folder from his sleeve, and presented it respectfully.

Li Shimin opened it, looked at it and said, "Other than that, what's the big deal?"

"Your Majesty, the Turkic mission came here, and Jieli Langya, the son of Jieli Khan, is among them. He wants to get married with me in the Tang Dynasty and marry His Royal Highness Princess Changle of the Tang Dynasty. Isn't this... a big deal? Good thing!!"

Wei Ting narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.

boom…….
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was in chaos.

Marriage? !
And Turks? !

Except for Chai Lingwu and a few senior officials from the aristocratic family, the other officials were shocked.

Even Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui all had wide-eyed eyes and furrowed brows.

This incident was too sudden.

The notebook in Li Shimin's hand trembled, his eyes moved away from the notebook, and looked at Wei Ting again, with deep eyes.

"Your Majesty, in my view, this matter is nothing but beneficial."

"My Tang Dynasty, the treasury is weak now, and I don't have any power to fight the Turks, and Her Royal Highness Princess Changle is not too young. If I can make peace with the Turks, let alone other things, there will be no war for at least ten years. There is no need to worry that the Turks will suddenly go south.”

"In this way, I bought a lot of time for my Tang Dynasty. From a close point of view, the Turks of the Tang Dynasty will be a family in the future, and the Weishui alliance will no longer exist. As long as your majesty asks, there is no need to give supplies or anything. , isn’t it Your Majesty? Think about the reason.”

"Besides, if the Tang Dynasty and the Turks join forces, wouldn't it be invincible? Who would dare to be our opponent?"

Wei Ting was persuasive and guided slowly.

At the same time, the conditions thrown out are more attractive than the last one.

Of course, whether it works or not, it sounds very reasonable anyway.

Li Shimin's eyes were deep.

At this time, Chai Lingwu also came out.

"Your Majesty, I also feel that Wei Shangshu's words are correct. No matter how you look at it, I, the Tang Dynasty, took advantage of the marriage with the Turks."

"Currently, the Turkic Turks have been fertilized year after year, and their strength has far surpassed that of three years ago. However, in the Tang Dynasty, our national strength has not only increased, but not decreased, thanks to the continuous disasters."

"Getting married now can be said to have completely cleared away all worries and obstacles for my Great Tang. This is really a great thing for my Great Tang!!"

The voice fell.

Hearing that this news is indeed beneficial to Datang, it is beneficial to the interests of the aristocratic family, Pei Ji also came out again and again, crazily echoing.

"Your Majesty, yes, don't hesitate. The marriage is really harmful to my Tang Dynasty, and I implore your Majesty to agree to this marriage."

"Also, Prince Xieli has seen it before. He is a good-looking talent, and he is a perfect match with Princess Changle."

Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and the others, you look at me, I look at you, for a while they didn't know what to say.

this problem.

too suddenly.

Li Shimin is completely in the mood to look at the number in his hand now.

Marriage? !
He swallowed, lost in thought.

"Your Majesty, this matter... still needs to be carefully considered."

Wei Zheng stepped out and spoke.

"That's right, Your Majesty, the marriage was too sudden to have a direct result." Changsun Wuji echoed.

"Wei Zhongshu, eldest grandson Pushe, this statement is wrong."

Wei Ting cast a sideways glance at the two of them, and continued: "Since the Turkic Regiment has entrusted me to raise this matter in the early court, the sooner a decision is made, the better."

"If it is delayed, even a good thing will turn into a bad thing at that time, two, I would like to ask you, can you say anything bad about this matter?"
