Datang: Eight-year-old general

Chapter 214

"His Majesty..."

"enough."

Just when Li Linfu was about to say something more, Li Longji slammed the dragon chair, interrupting his words, and stared at Li Linfu and the others with his cloudy eyes.

He asked sullenly, "The four of you, are you the ministers of the Tang Dynasty, or the Turks or the Tubo ministers?"

Li Linfu and the others were stunned, and quickly replied, "Of course we are ministers of the Tang Dynasty."

"Since you are a minister of the Tang Dynasty, why do you speak in favor of Turks and Tubo?"

Li Longji's tone was faint, and then he shouted angrily, "Are you afraid of them?!"

"Your Majesty calm down, how could the ministers be afraid of Turks and Tubo?"

"Your Majesty and others are all dedicated to the good of the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty, please be careful."

Li Longji was angry again.

But this time they can't scare Li Linfu and others.

Because they have an excuse, that is, the safety of the subjects of the Tang Dynasty.

The war between Turks and Tubo in the Tang Dynasty will inevitably cause the soldiers to shed blood, the people will be slaughtered, and the Tang Dynasty will be plunged into the flames of war.

Thus dragging down the prosperity of the entire Datang.

They also know Li Longji very well.

He did not want Datang to decline.

"All for the good of Datang?"

Li Longji smiled inwardly.

The four old foxes finally took the bait.

So he said with a serious face, "Since you wait for Qi Yan to be good for Datang, you will also take care of the face of the emperor, will you?"

"Yes."

The four were a little taken aback.

Li Longji said again, "Since you will take care of the face of the emperor, how can you let me be that unkind king, knowing that Li Yi has a big attack on Datang, how can you revoke the marriage certificate after his death? ! "

"If this is spread, how will you let the people of the world treat me?!"

At this time, the four of them knew well that Li Longji was determined to betroth the fifteenth princess to Li Yi, the dead ghost.

But they won't give up.

So, with a look of concern for the country and the people, he said sadly, "Your Majesty, if this is the case, how can you reply to them about the marriage between Turks and Tubo?"

"If one is not handled well, it may cause soldiers from the two countries to invade Datang."

"In this regard, I have an idea, I wonder if you will listen to it?"

Li Longji touched the dragon chair, waiting for all the officials to enter the pit.

"Your Majesty has a good plan, and the ministers are naturally willing to listen."

All the ministers shouted.

I wondered in my heart, what can Li Longji do?
Could it be that the princesses whose husbands died were allowed to marry into Turks or Tubo?
Impossible!
Isn't Li Yi dead?

Didn't Li Longji not want to break the engagement?
Li Longji didn't speak immediately, but asked again, "Are you all my humerus?"

"The ministers are ashamed and dare not be ashamed, and swear allegiance to the Tang Dynasty to the death."

Although the officials are really confused.

But this is the time to show your loyalty, and you should not be careless.

Who knows if Li Longji is testing them?
"Okay, I am indeed a loyal minister."

Li Longji showed relief.

Just when the officials were delighted that Li Longji was really testing them, Li Longji spoke up.

"You are all my humerus, so my troubles are also your troubles."

"So, I think about it again and again, my daughters are married, and those who are not married still have marriage contracts."

"So, I thought, there seems to be a girl waiting in your boudoir in your family."

"Then why not replace the princess and make peace with that Turk and Tubo?"

boom!
After these words fell, the ministers were shocked physically and mentally.

Your Majesty's move is sinister enough!

They all kowtowed in panic and shouted, "Your Majesty, you can't, how can I replace the noble princess with the ministers and other girls."

"It's like how a chick can match up with a phoenix, it's detrimental to Datang's face."

"It's okay."

Li Longji waved his hand, "As long as the Tubo and Turkic princes take a fancy to your daughter, I will grant her the title of princess, enough to match the Tubo and Turkic princes."

"And without losing your identity."

"That's the end of the story. I remember that in your Li Linfu's house, there seem to be two girls waiting in your boudoir?"

"You, Yu Wenrong, seem to have a daughter in your family."

"By the way, Yang Guozhong, you also have a daughter, right?"

"Although there is no daughter in An'er's family, there is a son, and he can marry Princess Fanbang."

"If you have unmarried children in your family, then I will announce that a face-to-face meeting will be held, and you will lead your children to meet the Tubo and Turkic princes. As long as you meet each other, I will confer the princess on the spot."

Li Longji finished speaking.

Scanning the ugly-faced ministers below, he said, "If the marriage is successful, if you can keep the frontier free from war for ten years, you will have made great achievements, and I will reward you generously."

"But if we get married, and the Tubo and Turkic soldiers invade the Tang Dynasty, then they will be punished as treason, the barbarians!!"

"Okay, let's discuss it later, when and where this meeting will be made."

Li Longji successfully pulled the group of officials into the pit, and bloodily presented the facts in front of them.

It depends on the choice of the ministers.

If he agrees, Li Longji will follow his previous promise.

Anyway, she is the daughter of a group of officials, not the daughter of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, so it is not considered a marriage relationship, nor is it considered that the Tang Dynasty showed weakness and was afraid of Tubo and Turks.

Not to mention Datang's face.

If they do not agree, it is the business of these ministers.

When the officials heard this, their faces turned green.

Who can guarantee that Tubo and Turks will not invade the Tang Dynasty within ten years?

And sending one's own children to get married, wouldn't it be sending them to a pit of fire?

Still have to worry about it every day, the Yi tribe?

Immediately, the officials hurriedly said,

"Your Majesty, I've thought over and over again that making a marriage can only damage the majesty of my Tang Dynasty, so I don't agree to make a marriage."

"Your Majesty, what Lord Wang said is very true. How can our Tang Dynasty make peace with Fanbang? If they dare to invade the Tang Dynasty, I ask you to go to the front and fight them to the death!"

"Your Majesty, how can my Great Tang weaken the strength of the Great Tang? If the Turks and Tubo want to get married, they are also worthy?!"

"Your Majesty, the ministers and others seconded the proposal and disagreed with the marriage."

Now the officials don't care so much, compared to sending a woman into a fire pit, it is a crime against the barbarians.

They would rather go into battle in armor and fight Turks and Tubo to the death.

Because of this, he was the only one who died, to protect the family, and earned the reputation of being loyal and defending the country.

Li Longji was also speechless when he saw the ministers turning their faces like turning over a book.

Sure enough, it was all said by that boy Li Yi.

As long as their own life and death interests are involved, these ministers are more excited than anyone else.

In their eyes, the royal princess is like a stranger.

Li Longji did not make a decision on the spot, but turned to look at Li Linfu and the others, and asked quietly, "What do you and the other four think?"

The four of them, Li Linfu, were asked alone.

I have the heart to cry.

If you agree, you will be on the opposite side of the officials.

Those ministers who are close to themselves will also resent them in their hearts.

At this time, they are like eating Coptis chinensis, but they want to say it is very sweet.

His face turned red, green and white, and he said at the same time, "I think about it carefully, this marriage is really a bit inappropriate."

"Hey, you guys, I have good intentions, but you make it so clear, I am extremely disappointed."

Li Longji shook his head and sighed, and then said, "Since all the ministers are against it, let's let go of the marriage."

"As for how to explain it like Tubo and Turks, it depends on you and the other four."

"The ministers obey the order."

The officials breathed a sigh of relief, while the four of Li Linfu were so angry that their beards trembled, and there was even a look of gratitude on the surface, which really blocked their hearts.
