Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 234 Marriage Conditions (1)

"What do you think about the Western Turkic Khan asking for a marriage, what do you two think about Auxiliary Machine and Xuanling?"

"Chengqian, Zhinu, you two listen carefully, and then think about it carefully, it will be very beneficial to you." Li Er asked his eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling at the same time, he did not forget to ask Li Chengqian and his brothers.

"Promise!" Li Chengqian and Li Zhi saluted.

Li Er is teaching and cultivating his son's political ability all the time, just like the Western Turks send envoys to Beijing to ask for marriage, Li Er must seize this opportunity to teach his two sons.

At the same time, they instilled into the Li Chengqian brothers Datang's foreign strategic policy, as well as Datang's attitude towards surrounding ethnic groups.

The main purpose is to teach Li Zhi's political ability. In any case, the prince has more than ten years of political experience, so Li Er doesn't need to deliberately indoctrinate him.

On the contrary, Jin Wang Li Zhi is still a blank mouse in politics, and Li Zhi still needs Li Er's good training.

Only with enough political experience and excellent political ability, Li Zhi can better assist the prince after his death in the future.

Li Er believes that as long as their brothers are of one mind, they will surely make Datang more prosperous.

"Your Majesty! I think you should not agree to the marriage proposal of the Western Turkic Khan. The Yibi Shekui Khan is getting more and more restless."

"If we agree to his marriage request, Yibi Shekui will definitely take advantage of my Tang Dynasty's prestige to achieve his ulterior motives." Changsun Wuji strongly objected.

Li Er nodded, if it was true what Changsun Wuji said, then he could not agree to Yibi Shekui's marriage proposal, lest he use the banner of the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty to do mischief.

Li Er did not express his opinion immediately, but asked Fang Xuanling: "Xuanling, what about you?"

"I thought I could agree to Yibi Shekui Khan's marriage proposal. Now Datang has just gone through the expedition to Goguryeo and the battle to eliminate Xue Yantuo."

"It was the time when my vitality was seriously injured in the Tang Dynasty. If I agreed to Yibi Shekui Khan's marriage proposal, at least I could gain peace temporarily."

"Our soldiers have been given a chance to breathe. It's not too late to make plans after our Tang Dynasty's strength is restored." Fang Xuanling supported the marriage proposal of the Western Turks.

Fang Xuanling has always advocated peace in exchange for peace.

There is nothing wrong with being able to exchange marriage for peace. Now Datang still has a lot of things to do, and one thing more is worse than one thing less.

Li Er glanced at the two of them, then asked Chu Suiliang, Yang Shidao, and Ma Zhou.

Except for Yang Shidao who didn't say anything, the other two also disagreed, debating whether to agree or disagree with West Turk's request.

Yang Shidao's reticence was due to his personality. To put it mildly, he was naturally cautious, but to put it mildly, he was timid.

Chu Suiliang and Changsun Wuji were in the same group, so Chu Suiliang naturally strongly supported Changsun Wuji's proposition.

Although Ma Zhou didn't quite support Changsun Wuji's opinion, he also had a different view on Fang Xuanling's opinion.

"Is this what you think? What the auxiliary machine said is not unreasonable, and what Xuan Ling said is also right. Although Datang is flourishing now, it still cannot stand the toss."

"If you make a fuss about it, it is very likely that like Emperor Sui Yang, it will cause people's grievances to boil, and finally destroy my country in the Tang Dynasty!" Li Er said.

Li Er's words were ambiguous, he neither supported Changsun Wuji's claim nor Fang Xuanling's claim, and at the same time, he did not oppose their opinion.

This made them wonder what Li Er meant, and what attitude he had towards Western Turk's marriage proposal.

"Zhongshu ordered Yang Shidao, what do you think about the Western Turkic marriage proposal, you might as well tell everyone." Li Er asked Yang Shidao, who was sitting upright.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty can decide on this matter arbitrarily, and I will follow suit. I dare not criticize such important matters." Yang Shidao said bravely.

Yang Shidao's answer naturally did not satisfy Li Er. Li Er had been dissatisfied with Yang Shidao for a long time. He wanted to revoke his position as Zhongshu Ling, but he never found a suitable opportunity.

Now the opportunity is coming!

Li Er will naturally not let it go, Yang Shidao is destined to be beaten by Li Er.

"Eat the king's salary, take care of the king's worries! Yang Shidao, as the order of Zhongshu, that's how you share my worries!"

"You are simply a vegetarian in the corpse. It is extremely hateful. I don't think you need to be a Zhongshu Ling anymore."

"From today onwards, Yang Shidao will be appointed Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the position of Zhongshu Ling will be held by Ma Zhou, who will also be the prince Zuo Shuzi, and he will be removed from the post of Ma Zhou and Jin Wangfu's chief history." Li Er instantly said to Yang Shidao and Ma Tuesday. Some personnel transfers.

From today, Yang Shidao is no longer the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, but has become the top official.

Ma Zhou resigned from his official position in the Jin Palace, was directly promoted to prime minister, and became a subordinate official of the East Palace at the same time.

I'm afraid that Li Er had already made up his mind about the change of positions of these two people, and he just took this opportunity to solve it together today.

"I obey the order!" Yang Shidao and Ma Zhou saluted.

Li Er originally planned to let Yang Shidao go home after this, but he thought that Yang Shidao was his brother-in-law, and he should give his sister some face instead of looking at the monk's face and the Buddha's face.

What's more, Yang Shidao has been in office for these years, and he has worked hard without credit, so he just let go of the grind and kill the donkey directly, and the impact is not good.

It has to be said that the older Li Er was, the more he valued fame.

"Who has a different opinion on the Western Turks asking for marriage?" Li Er asked.

"Father! My son has some ideas, I don't know if I should say it or not!" Li Chengqian said.

Li Er did not expect that Li Chengqian would speak at this time, he really wanted to see what the crown prince thought about this matter.

It doesn't matter if you have a bad opinion, Li Er can still take the opportunity to teach his two sons.

"Oh! If the prince has any ideas, feel free to tell them, so that everyone here can listen to them. If there is anything wrong, I can correct you." Li Er said, strongly encouraging Li Chengqian to express himself idea.

"I thought I could agree to the marriage proposal from Western Turks..."

"So, the crown prince agrees with Fang Xuanling's opinion and opposes the old minister's suggestion." Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, he was interrupted by Changsun Wuji.

Originally, when Fang Xuanling heard that Li Chengqian agreed with Western Turk's marriage proposal, he was naturally flattered. Even the crown prince supported him, three to two, and Fang Xuanling had a better chance of winning.

But he didn't expect that the eldest grandson Wuji would take the opportunity to interrupt the prince, which made Fang Xuanling a little dissatisfied.

Li Chengqian was also dissatisfied with Changsun Wuji. He spoke well, but Changsun Wuji interrupted his words.

"May I ask in what capacity are you interrupting me?"

"Is it my uncle, or Situ from Datang?" Li Chengqian asked back.

It depends on what Changsun Wuji says, if he dares to interrupt his speech, this is absolutely intolerable.
