Jingwen left the palace immediately, he didn't know that this Li Shimin had taken the wrong medicine today, and actually asked Jingwen to propose marriage to the Cui family. This is obviously against common sense, so Jingwen doesn't know who to ask. However, Jingwen soon came to the south of the city and found Yin Yue'e's house. As soon as they entered the door, the two rolled onto the bed, and after about an hour, they finally stopped out of breath.

"Say it! Did something happen? Yin Yue'e asked.

"How do you know I'm okay?" Jingwen asked rhetorically.

Yin Yue'e snorted, "If you don't have anything, how can you come to me?" Moreover, if it weren't for the urgency, would you leave your newlywed Yan'er's wife on the second night of your wedding and come to me, a lover who can't be made public? ”

"Sure enough, I'm smart, so I won't say more. Here's how it happened......" Jingwen said.

After hearing this, Yin Yue'e suddenly burst out laughing.

"What the hell is going on, why is the emperor so weird today!" Jingwen asked.

Yin Yue'e said: "Li Shimin was probably deflated a few days ago! ”

"Oh? Who can make the emperor deflated? Jingwen asked.

"It's Fan Yang Lu's family! A few days ago, I received news from the palace that the emperor had negotiated with the representative of the Fan Yang Lu family in Chang'an and wanted to accept a concubine from the Fan Yang Lu family, but the Fan Yang Lu family refused very directly. And Lu Jian, the head of the Lu family, also said that he would never marry the Li family, who had Hu blood. They said that marrying the Li family is a loss of identity! This time, Li Shimin didn't even get a concubine of the Lu family, of course, he was very angry in his heart. This is simply a slap in the face of Li Shimin. Do you think he can be convinced? Yin Yue'e said.

"So what does this have to do with me?" Jingwen asked.

Yin Yue'e immediately said: "Who is Li Shimin? He's not the kind of person who gets slapped in the face and then pinches his nose so easily to recognize him. He was afraid of revenge. And since the Lu family dared to refuse, Li Shimin dared to disturb their master's marriage. Isn't Cui Ying, the eldest granddaughter of the Cui family, ready to marry Lu Jian, the head of the Lu family? So this time, Li Shimin is going to mess up their marriage. As revenge! Therefore, he chose you and chose you, a-stirring stick, to mess up the marriage of the head of the Lu family. ”

"Then wouldn't the emperor just go and order Cui Ying to be accepted as a concubine? Isn't that a more direct slap in the face? Isn't it more capable of revenge? Jingwen asked.

Yin Yue'e replied: "Things are not so simple, if you give an order directly, it will completely raise the contradiction." If the order is issued directly, then the emperor and the Lu family will no longer have a chance to ease relations. Although Li Shimin wanted revenge, it was only a limited retaliation, and he did not want an all-out war. If the Li Tang royal family and the Lu family went to war in an all-out way, it would be almost equivalent to a war with all the scholars in the world. The Lu family is also one of the seven clans and five surnames. Through all kinds of marriage methods, it is the same as other families, so once one family is in danger, the other families cannot be left alone. In this case, the emperor must let others take action, so that he can advance or retreat, and he can also take limited revenge, and you are the one who Li Shimin pushed to the front. ”

"Damn, this is the so-called proxy war!" Jingwen thought secretly.

The so-called proxy war. It is also the concept of the Cold War era. The United States and the Soviet Union were both superpowers, each possessing nuclear weapons, and there were many of them. Although the United States and the Soviet Union were both in the Cold War, they both knew very well that the two countries could not directly start a war. If once the fight is directly started. That is the result of a world war, and even nuclear weapons can destroy the world. No one wanted to bear this outcome, so they chose another approach. That is to prop up small countries. to conduct wars, so as to pass the wars of these supported small countries. Strengthen their respective influences.

Although proxy wars were only used during the Cold War, in fact, they have been practiced in all dynasties. Middle Tang Dynasty. It supported the Persian and Arab wars, and the early Tang Dynasty also supported the Silla and Goguryeo wars. And many times there is this kind of shì, even when China was in turmoil in the Republic of China, foreigners also supported warlords to carry out the Chinese civil war, which is also a model of proxy warfare. This kind of proxy war does not allow the two great powers to fight directly, and even if it fails, the losses will not be large. Moreover, it can avoid direct desperate efforts between the two major forces, resulting in consequences that no one can afford.

Now Li Shimin's idea is like this, hoping that Guò Jingwen will rob the future woman of Lu Jian, the head of the Lu family, and then slap the Lu family hard. But because Li Shimin did not come forward in person, this could avoid the situation that Li Shimin was directly opposed to the Shi clan in the world. Jingwen is Li Shimin's agent, letting Jingwen charge ahead, and Li Shimin is responsible for providing "logistics materials" for remote command, which is also the so-called proxy war.

And this is why Li Shimin forced Jingwen to admit that he liked Cui Ying, and forced Jingwen to propose to the Cui family. Although it seems that Li Shimin's target is the Cui family, in fact, the target is the Lu family, because Cui Ying is already the woman appointed by the head of the Lu family. At that time, this may be the first tentative attack by Li Shimin and the Shi clan, so that the Shi clan will be suppressed.

"Am I in some danger?" Jingwen asked.

"The danger won't be great, because as long as those old subordinates of the Snow Shame Army are still there, they can't do anything about you. Anyway, you are not a real civil official, if you are a civil official, you may be afraid, but you are based on military force, so they can't really hit your core! Yin Yue'e said.

Jing Wen then remembered that his real strength was mainly in the army, that is, relying on the old subordinates of the shameful army. In terms of civil officials, in fact, Jingwen's strength is not strong. There are also advantages of not being strong if you are not strong, that is, others can't suppress if they want to, because you can't follow it, how can you suppress it? The power of the Seven Sects and Five Surnames is mainly in the civil and military officials, but the military attachés are not very good, and they cannot affect the foundation of Jingwen. So Jingwen is not afraid of them, since Li Shimin wants to make himself an agent, then do a good job.

"You have a bonus, though!" Yin Yue'e said.

"What's the benefit?" Jingwen asked.

"If this plan succeeds, you can get a big beauty, and she is also the eldest granddaughter of the Cui family with seven sects and five surnames, but you earned it!" Yin Yue'e said.

"......" Jingwen was speechless. (To be continued......)
