Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 73 Li Shimin was attacked!

"Your Majesty, what are you doing!"

After learning that Lin Heng was going on a mission to the Western Turks, Changsun Wugou came to question him. This was the first time in so many years that Changsun Wugou had done such a big job.

Seeing that his usually gentle and generous queen was so angry, Li Shimin didn't know how to explain it for a while. Li Ningxi also came with him.

The eldest grandson Wugou said displeasedly: "Now that Heng'er has just been granted the title of Prince Consort, Your Majesty is going to let him go to a place like the Turks. Your Majesty has been dealing with the grasslands for so many years. Don't you know the temperament of those people?"

"What if something happens to Heng'er, what will Ning Xi do? It's not easy for her to find someone who is attracted to her."

Changsun Wugu's brows were furrowed, and his face was obviously ugly. Although Li Ningxi said nothing, her hands were trembling, as if she wanted her father to explain this.

Li Shimin had no choice but to say: "I just gave Heng'er a choice regarding the mission, and he agreed to it himself."

In order to prevent Changsun Wugao from being so angry, Li Shimin also changed the title to what Changsun Wugou often called. However, Changsun Wugou obviously would not change the story because of this incident.

Changsun Wugou took a deep breath and said, "I know that Your Majesty is in a dilemma. You don't know who to send as envoy to the Western Regions. But there are so many people in the court. Why do you choose Heng'er among those ministers?"

"He is still young and has never been involved in officialdom. Not to mention whether he can deal with the Turks, even his own personal safety cannot be guaranteed."

Changsun Wugou was very angry that Li Shimin went to see Lin Heng without consulting him in advance. What was even more angry was that he thought Li Shimin did not fully recognize Lin Heng.

After all, Lin Heng came from a humble background and was a merchant. Even though he had done some things, she was afraid that Li Shimin would still have a grudge against Lin Heng.

It would be nonsense to ask Lin Heng to go on a mission to gain fame with such an attitude!

Seeing this, Li Shimin explained: "What Heng'er means is that now everyone in the court seems to have no objection to him, but in fact they are still secretly dissatisfied with him and Ning Xi. He told me personally that he is going to the Turks." , in order to calm the public opinion in the court."

Changsun Wugou looked at Li Shimin and said expressionlessly: "No matter what the reason is, what if something really happens?"

Li Shimin quickly said: "The Turks are our allies of the Tang Dynasty, and our envoys from the Tang Dynasty are only sent to consider subsequent assistance. It is beneficial to the Turks. Naturally, they will not have any thoughts on this kind of thing. "

"Besides, Heng'er has a bright mind and is very measured in everything he does. Since he agreed, he must have a reason to ensure his own safety."

Before Li Shimin could finish speaking, Changsun Wugou asked again: "What if something really happens?"

"I promise, I will dispatch."

"What if something happens?"

Changsun Wugou asked again.

Li Shimin was silent. Reasoning with a woman often doesn't have much effect on this kind of matter. We have to wait for the eldest grandson Wugu to calm down before talking.

Then he looked at Li Ningxi. At this moment, she lowered her head, her eyes were slightly red, and her hands were holding the corners of her skirt tightly, as if she wanted to say something.

"Ning Xi, Heng'er told me that he wanted to stop you from being criticized behind your back by some people, so he must go there. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Li Ningxi couldn't stop trembling, and tried her best to suppress the emotions in her heart: "Father, I want to go to the palace now. Is it okay?" After hearing the last three words, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel There was a moment of heart palpitations.

The relationship between their father and daughter has eased a lot recently, and Li Ningxi has become more lively in front of him. If she is just leaving the palace, why bother asking like this?
I'm afraid that the relationship between the two of them will become estranged again.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, nodded slightly, then bowed and left.

Changsun Wugou also had an unhappy expression on his face. He looked at Li Shimin without saying a word for a long time. When Li Ningxi left, Changsun Wugou also left immediately.

Li Shimin, who stayed where he was, smiled bitterly.

If Lin Heng can really do this well, I'm afraid there won't be any discussion in the court about Lin Heng's background. He always has to think about the future of the two of them, so he naturally takes Lin Heng's life into consideration. Regarding safety issues, Lin Heng's opinions have also been considered, and he has already nodded in agreement.

Li Shimin shook his head. Next time, he should talk to his eldest grandson Wugou in advance, Li Ningxi.
We should always find time to chat.

After leaving the palace, Li Ningxi finally couldn't help but collapse emotionally, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

Although she has no contact with matters in the court, she has been in the palace for many years and has the ability to observe people's hearts.

When the news that Changsun Wuji proposed to send Lin Heng as an envoy reached her ears in the court, she had already guessed that the matter would not be that simple. Changsun Wuji must have other ideas.

She immediately thought of what Lin Heng told her father about the incest marriage that day when he didn't know his father's identity.

When my father learns about this matter, he will never treat it as if he didn't hear it or call it a joke. He will definitely send someone to investigate, and the authenticity of the investigation will determine his attitude.

Therefore, his father would definitely tell Changsun Wuji about this matter, and Changsun Wuji's subsequent attitude towards Lin Heng also confirmed this.

Lin Heng's words shook Changsun Wuji's interests.

Li Ningxi knows very well who Changsun Wuji is. He is a deep-seated person. Very few people can guess what he is thinking. Otherwise, he would not be able to stand as the second-largest civil servant with a humble background. He has the vague ability to command hundreds of officials. posture.

Lin Heng had shaken Changsun Wuji's interests, so Changsun Wuji would never let Lin Heng go easily. This time sending Lin Heng as an envoy to the Turks was Changsun Wuji's plan.

She originally wanted to tell Lin Heng the next day, but before she could do so, her father had already summoned him.

She said it was for her own consideration, but she didn't know that her father's move was selfish.

No one is willing to go on a mission to the Turks. Those grassland people have a bad temper and will not be as easy to reason as the people from the Central Plains.

Once something really goes wrong, how can we get Lin Heng back safely unless we send troops from the border?
Father's promise, what can he guarantee?
Lin Heng naturally had his own considerations when sending an envoy to the Turks, otherwise he would not have been able to go even if his father forced him to.

But she didn't need Lin Heng to earn any fame for herself, or even risk her own safety. All she wanted was for Lin Heng to be well.

That's it. Lin Heng doesn't lack any reputation or money, so he can stay in Chang'an peacefully and the two of them can get married in the future.

Why do you do this?
