Chapter 208: Digging a Pit

"Use yourself as bait, it seems that my cheap brother is really fighting hard for my business!"

A trace of emotion rose in Li Yuanba's heart, although he knew that Li Shimin would definitely not fight an uncertain battle, but Li Yuanba still felt an inexplicable emotion surging.

"It's natural for you to go to De'er's wedding, but don't disturb De'er's family affairs!" Li Yuan's brows furrowed, and he continued: "That's it! I remember that on Chinese New Year's Eve, you once said that Xue Yantuo's temporary enemy Khan wanted to ask to marry a princess of my Great Tang, is there such a thing? ”

"It's true!" Li Shimin wondered why Li Yuan suddenly asked this question, and continued: "But I have already decided to push their harmony!" ”

"Isn't that it?" Li Yuan drank the wine in the cup and said, "Anyway, Xue Yantuo, the son of Nalaosh, will have to fight with my Tang Dynasty sooner or later, you can make an order to disagree with peace now, and then make a big announcement to provoke Xue Yantuo!" In this case, the rest of the foreign races of the various states will definitely make a move, and those white-eyed wolves lurking in Chang'an City will definitely choose to do it! As long as they move...... I don't need to teach you anything after that, right? ”

Li Yuanba glanced up at Li Yuan, and found that this old man was now full of coldness, and there was even a trace of blood-colored edge in the depths of his eyes.

This Li Yuan is worthy of being a person who once served as the emperor, decisive in killing, and murderous!

Li Yuanba suddenly underestimated himself in his heart: "Hit the grass and scare the snake, the lion opens his mouth!" offended the two foreign races, how could he be so confident in the strength of the Tang Dynasty? ”

In fact, how did Li Yuanba know that Li Yuan did not have confidence in the strength of the Tang Dynasty, but in his two sons, one of them was a natural male lord comparable to Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and the other was a fierce beast comparable to Wen Hou Lu Bu.

……

This night. Li Yuanba came out of the Cuihua Hall very late, and no one knew what the father and son had discussed in the palace, but they felt that from that day on, the atmosphere in the palace had been depressed.

The palace is slightly depressed, but Chang'an City is full of joyful atmosphere, as for the reason, there is only one, that is, His Royal Highness King Wu is going to get married, and the marriage is still the goddaughter of the emperor, it is said that this woman looks like a fairy. has a graceful body, and she is also one of the best beauties in Chang'an City.

In addition, the identity of the princess herself is not low, her father is the grandfather of the country, and he has contributed to the Tang Dynasty, which can be described as an outstanding meritorious service, and the people of the entire Chang'an City are happy.

Up and down the Wuwang Mansion, it has begun to put up lights, and up and down the mansion, everyone's face is full of joyful smiles.

And this is the moment. Emperor Li Shimin suddenly rejected Xue Yantuo's request for peace with great fanfare, and told them very strongly and sternly: If you want to fight, you will fight, and you want to marry the princess of our Tang Dynasty. That's a pipe dream!

When this holy decree was promulgated, the entire Tang Dynasty was in an uproar.

Those families and scholars who claim to be humble gentlemen are naturally furious in their hearts, whether this emperor has lost his mind and gone crazy. At the moment, it is clear that the enemy is strong and I am weak, and Datang's own strength alone is not enough to resist Xue Yantuo's crazy attack.

At this time, you have rejected the only way to resolve the matter peacefully. It's a clear idea to start a war.

Compared with most of the big families, a small number of people in the big families, as well as more than 90 percent of the ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty, are extremely supportive of Li Shimin's decision.

Thinking about the thousands of years of history of China, how can you give up the dignity of the Heavenly Empire because of a few small barbarians, compromise and seek perfection, and exchange a weak woman for the peace of the country? Doesn't this mean that the dignity of China has been completely lost?

The two different arguments set off an unparalleled storm in Datang, but no matter how they discussed, they still couldn't stop Li Shimin's decision.

Xue Yantuo, the pearl khan of Xue Yantuo, who received an accurate reply from Datang, was furious and threatened to completely destroy Datang within a year.

's arrogant and shameless face makes people disgusted to watch.

Li Shimin scoffed at the clamor of Yi Yiyinan, and didn't pay attention to him at all, but moved to the top of Mount Tai Jade Emperor to sacrifice to heaven and earth, first listed Xue Yantuo's various sins, and then ordered to crusade half a month later.

From now on, the huge war plane of the Tang Dynasty was completely operational, and Li Shimin, who returned to Chang'an City from the top of the Jade Emperor, was not in a hurry, but began to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.

The civil and military officials in Chang'an City, those famous generals and ministers in history and legends, all followed Li Shimin's side and participated in this Jade Emperor's top sacrifice.

Li Yuanba is still in a sky-blue regular clothes, with messy hair and a shawl, but the blue clothes are already new, and the short sword on his waist is only the size of a palm, which is the sword in the palm given by King Zhaojun.

Li Yuanba found that the sword in his palm was very strange, not only sharpening iron like clay, dividing gold and silver, but also not breaking the blade, no problem.

As a big man, whoever wants to say that he doesn't like this kind of magic weapon, it is simply a lie, and Li Yuanba specially ordered someone to make a durable scabbard out of fish skin, put it in, and wear it on his body.

After all, Li Yuanba is the prince, and his status is extremely respectful, so although he is very low-key and mixed in the crowd, there can be people who keep talking to him and blessing him.

He is also annoyed by these people, but as the younger brother of Emperor Laozi, this face project still has to be done.

Seeing Li Yuanba, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, Cheng Biting Jin, this time he fell into blood mold, and after coming down from the top of the Jade Emperor, he was in the same column as Li Yuanba.

When he saw Li Yuanba, this old man obediently rode his horse closer, bowed and saluted with a smile: "Hehe, Lord Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Seeing this guy, Li Yuanba grinned and said, "Yo, who did I say?" Isn't this the famous Lu Guogong? What's the matter, do you come to guide the soldiers under this king in training? Do you want them to take off their armor first? ”

When Cheng Biting Jin heard this, his face twitched fiercely a few times, and then he said: "The prince said that he laughed, with your ability, it is not a piece of cake to train the soldiers. Compared to you, it is a world of difference! ”

After that, Cheng Biting Jinna glanced at Li Yuanba cautiously from the corner of his eye, and continued: "I heard that the prince is going to get married in the near future? ”

Li Yuanba rolled his eyes, and said in his heart: "Lao Tzu asked people to beat gongs and drums, and lit firecrackers to spread all over the world. ”

Thinking of this, Li Yuanba glared at Cheng Yanjin angrily and said, "Exactly!" What, do you want to give this king a big red envelope? ”

Cheng Biting Jin was stunned for a moment and said, "Red envelope, what is a red envelope?" Why do you want to seal red envelopes? ”

Li Yuanba was Spartan in an instant when he heard this, and he didn't like to get married in this year? That's a good feeling, how much money you have to save!

"Cheng Laoyou, are you stupid? A red envelope is a congratulatory gift, and a congratulatory gift is a red envelope! The prince means that when he gets married, you will send a big congratulatory gift to the prince! ”

Cheng Yanjin was stunned with this pretending to be stupid, but there were people who understood, Wei Chigong jumped out like a big horse monkey and slapped Cheng Yanjin on the shoulder.

"Oops! Wei Chi Lao Hei, are you so heavy? Lao Tzu's arms are dislocated! ”

Cheng Yanjin, who was sitting on horseback, was almost slapped off the horse by Yu Chigong, and couldn't help but turn his head and scolded Wei Chigong viciously.

Li Yuanba looked at his heart and said, "General Cheng, just respect the virtue of Fang Cai, I'm afraid that I didn't hurt you, but hurt his hand, right?" ”

"Hahaha, what the prince said is very true! The skin on this old man's body is very thick, even if he uses a horizontal knife to stab, I'm afraid that even the blade will collapse! ”

Niu Jinda also rode over, and did not hesitate to use his taunting skills.

"Old Niu, you're itchy too, aren't you?" Cheng bites Jin's anger, it's really a tiger falling into Pingyang and being ...... by dogs Bullied by wolves!

A group of veteran ruffians rode their horses giggling, and Li Yuanba chatted with these old fellows without a ride, but he didn't notice that in a carriage not far from them, there was a pair of resentful eyes locked on him.

This carriage looks no worse than Li Yuanba's, and there are some princes and princesses riding in it.

And the owner of these eyes is Li Yuanba's own nephew and Li Tai, Li Shimin's fourth son.

Twice in a row was blocked, this fourth prince Li Tai, who was benevolent and moral on the surface, but was actually a male thief and a prostitute, had already been angry with hatred, and now seeing Li Yuanba's appearance like a spring breeze, he was very unwilling!

But even if you are unwilling, what about it? He didn't understand why his father, who liked him very much before, suddenly treated him coldly half a month ago.

Not only did he not let him go to the Lizheng Palace to see his mother, but he also inexplicably forbade him for ten days and did not let him leave his palace.

Isn't this a clear intention to send him into the cold palace?

So he didn't dare to touch Li Yuanba, the titular fourth uncle, he buried all his resentment deep in his heart, waiting for the day when he could take revenge!

……

It took three days for the civil and military attachΓ©s to return to their respective homes.

After taking a short nap in the Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin, who was slightly tired, seemed to remember something, and said, "Sanshui, what is happening in Chang'an City right now?" ”

Liu Sanshui frowned and thought about it, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, there has been no major incident in Chang'an City recently, but I heard from the guards in the palace that there are many more people in Chang'an City. (To be continued......)
