Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

As soon as these words came out, it was Li Shimin's turn to be dumbfounded.

He never expected that Changsun Wuji would be so thick-skinned, and would tell the story in such a high-sounding way, leaving him wanting to blame but unable to find an excuse.

What's more, I still don't know how many back-ups he has secretly laid out relying on his trust in him.

If he turned against him now, he might not even be able to get out of this camp, and he would die suddenly.

Taking a deep breath, Li Shimin grinned, barely showing a smile and said:

“The auxiliary machine’s intentions are so deep, I’m a little surprised.”

"The parents in the world are pitiful. Chong'er is lucky to have you as his father to worry about."

Faced with Li Shimin's words of sincere praise or deliberate ridicule, Changsun Wuji looked like he accepted it calmly and sighed deliberately:

"Then only with the support of Your Majesty, a wise king, can I have the honor to send Chong'er to the Xuanjia Army for training. I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

After saying that, he bowed to Li Shimin and prepared to salute.

When Li Shimin saw this, he hurriedly supported Changsun Wuji:

"Auxiliary machine, why are you doing this? Why have I ever blamed you?"

Seeing Li Shimin like this, Changsun Wuji twisted a few times, and finally looked like he couldn't resist Li Shimin, and then he reluctantly stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to ask of you, and I ask your Majesty to grant it."

"If the auxiliary machine has anything to say, just say it."

At this time, Li Shimin already wanted to cut Changsun Wuji into pieces, but he had to pretend to be friendly on the outside.

"Your Majesty, it's like this. Chong'er has been with Li Zhi's childhood sweetheart since he was a child. Now he has reached the age where he should start a family. Therefore, I have the courage to ask for a marriage from Your Majesty."

Hearing that the other party was interested in his daughter, Li Shimin didn't even think about it and roared angrily:

"No !!!!"

"Your Majesty, why is this? But my Chong'er is not worthy of Princess Changle?"

Changsun Wuji did not flinch at all from Li Shimin's rage, but instead looked at him with a playful expression.

At this time, he already understood that his majesty, the emperor in front of him, should have already thought of his plan.

The reason why Li Shimin was asked to grant the marriage was not only because his son coveted the beauty of the eldest princess, but also because he was tempted.

At this time, Li Shimin had begun to regret it since he said the words of rejection.

Now when he heard what Changsun Wuji said, his eyes suddenly turned and he said:

"The auxiliary machine has misunderstood. I have watched Chong'er grow up. If there is anyone in this world who is worthy of my daughter, it is only Chong'er."

"It's just that, as you know, auxiliary machine, now that the Queen and Gao Ming are captured, and their life or death is uncertain, how can I still think about the matter of my beloved daughter here."

"Besides, Lady Guanyin has always watched her grow up. If you want to marry Lady, you must have Lady Guanyin's approval. I really can't make the decision."

Seeing that Li Shimin had moved the queen and his wife out, Changsun Wuji couldn't continue to force him.

And his original intention was to test Li Shimin's attitude. Now that he saw that he was giving in, he couldn't force himself too much.

Then he nodded and said:

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Such a major marriage matter must be made with the Queen in mind before making a decision."

After saying that, the conversation changed again and he resumed the previous topic:

"Then I wonder what His Majesty's attitude towards the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes is. Should he continue to pursue them, or should he order all the troops along the way to encircle and suppress them with all their strength?"

After hearing Changsun Wuji's attitude toward the five surnames and Qiwang, who wanted to kill them all, Li Shimin looked at each other with burning eyes.

Haha, I haven't expressed my position yet, but the other party has already made a decision for me.

In this case, let your dogs eat dogs.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly looked solemn, turned around and returned to his seat, then looked at Changsun Wuji and said:

"Changsun Wuji listens to the order."

When Changsun Wuji saw Li Shimin announcing the decree, he immediately knelt on the ground with a plop:

"The minister accepts the order."

"I order you to take 3000 black armor troops and 10000 imperial guards and set off immediately. Cooperate with all the troops along the way to hunt down the rebels. You can only win, not lose."

After hearing Li Shimin's will, Changsun Wuji was overjoyed. Does this mean that he can seize military power in an honest and fair manner?

But thinking that he only got 3000 Xuanjia troops and 10000 Imperial Guards, and that there were still 20000 soldiers in the camp who were not allocated to him, Changsun Wuji suddenly became a little dissatisfied.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard Li Shimin speak again:

"Auxiliary machine, this journey is difficult and dangerous. I hope you can return triumphantly,"

"I will personally lead the remaining 20000 soldiers to pursue the traitor Chu Mo and recover Guanyin and Gao Ming."

"I can promise you that as long as Maid Guanyin returns to the court, I will talk to the queen about Chong'er and Lizhi's marriage."

Hearing that Li Shimin said he was going to chase Chu Mo, a look of confusion flashed across Changsun Wuji's face.

After so many days, not to mention the shadow of Chu Mo, I have never even heard his name a few times. Is His Majesty the Emperor really going to chase that shit stirrup?Does he know the whereabouts of the other party?

However, seeing Li Shimin's determined look, Changsun Wuji couldn't say anything else.

After all, I have got what I want now. If I continue to push, it may be counterproductive.

By then, if Li Shimin is forced into a desperate situation and has a life-and-death fight with him, then his plan will be in vain.

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji bowed respectfully to Li Shimin, then stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely live up to the divine grace. I will definitely wipe out all the rebellious ministers and traitors with five surnames and seven hopes. Your Majesty will just wait for good news."

After saying that, he said goodbye and turned to leave.

Looking at Changsun Wuji's leaving figure, Li Shimin's eyes were filled with murderous intent, but he could only watch the other person leave.

Not long after, a close servant came to deliver a message, saying that Changsun Wuji and Changsun Chong had led 3000 Xuanjia troops and 10000 Imperial Guards in pursuit along Shannan Road.

After hearing the report, Li Shimin pondered for a moment, then immediately ordered the tent to be raised, and then directly ordered the team to get ready and move quickly towards Shaanxi Guoguan.

After all, he had boasted about Haikou before and said that he was going to capture Chu Mo. If he continued to stay where he was or returned to Chang'an, it would definitely make Changsun Wuji suspicious.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to patrol around Shaanxi and Guoguan and fix the border defense to prevent Da Zhou from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
