Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Seeing that Li Chengqian had no objection and directly agreed, Cui Yingying smiled and said again:

"In addition, I have one more request, that is, before your father's imperial edict is issued and before you marry the daughter of my Cui family, I don't want the alliance between our two families to be leaked."

"If this matter is revealed in advance, or someone from His Highness the Crown Prince's side informs."

"Then I'm sorry. For the benefit of my Cui family, not only will I not admit this, I will even bite back and say that you, Li Chengqian, took advantage of your status as the prince to forcibly marry the daughter of my Cui family."

After hearing Cui Yingying's words, Li Chengqian suddenly felt bad.

"Master Cui, what do you mean?"

"Do you really think that I, Li Chengqian, is easy to bully, or do you think that I am a fool?"

"As soon as the news of our marriage comes out, who can't guess that our two families have already formed an alliance?"

"You want me to publicize the marriage between our two families, and you are worried about being mentioned about our alliance. Isn't this deceiving myself?"

Facing Li Chengqian's question, Cui Yingying was not embarrassed at all, and then smiled slightly and said:

"Your Highness, do you know why I want you to publicize it before the imperial edict is issued and before His Majesty the Emperor gives a reply?"

"This is to paralyze the princes and ministers in Chang'an City, as well as your good brothers."

"You should know that our fifth surname Qiwang and your Li family have long been at loggerheads, and your father has strictly ordered your royal family to marry my fifth surname Qiwang."

"If you spread the news now, it will only make those people think who is secretly spreading rumors, or make people say that you are at the end of the road. Now you want to rely on public opinion and let the matter ferment to the point of no return, so my Cui family has to agree. This matter."

"And the more intense this matter is publicized, as long as your father's imperial edict is not issued for a day, then you, Li Chengqian, will be the laughing stock of the entire Chang'an, and even the entire Tang Dynasty."

Hearing what Cui Yingying said, Li Chengqian stood up from his seat for a moment, then looked at Cui Yingying with a livid face and said:

"Master Cui, what do you mean by this? Do you really think that I, Li Chengqian, am easy to tease? Or do you think that the face of my Li family can be ruined by you so easily?"

Seeing Li Chengqian getting angry, Cui Yingying didn't care at all. Instead, she picked up the tea at hand, took a sip, and then said slowly:

"Your Highness, if you want to achieve great things, you must first calm down your anger."

"You just see the surface of it, but you don't see the true meaning."

As soon as these words came out, Li Chengqian calmed down instantly.

He also understood that if the other party analyzed the matter to him so straightforwardly, it would not be as simple as he thought.

Thinking of the woman in front of him, who took advantage of his father's personal conquest and took control of the entire Tang Dynasty's business lifeline. Thinking of her outrageous methods, Li Chengqian took a deep breath, looked at Cui Yingying solemnly and said:

"Please also ask Master Cui for advice."

Cui Yingying's eyes quickly flashed with contempt, and then she slowly said:

"Let me ask you, is the marriage between our two families true?"

Li Chengqian nodded:

"Of course it's true. I don't think Mr. Cui would deceive Yu Gu on such a matter."

"Then let me ask you again, under what circumstances were those rumors based? Those who ridiculed you, what reasons did they use to ridicule you?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian suddenly felt enlightened. He looked at Cui Yingying excitedly and said:

"What does Mr. Cui mean?"

Cui Yingying nodded:

"They are just some clowns. What's more, these rumors are spread by you and me. As long as the imperial decree comes and our families are truly married, then these rumors will naturally be self-defeating."

"And those who slander you and ridicule you, will they become the jokes of others? And can we take advantage of this opportunity to find your enemies one by one, and then kill them all?"

"I think, with the strength of my Cui family and the fifth surname Qiwang, even if I can't completely defeat them, it shouldn't be difficult to make them injured, right?"

"As long as I get rid of these people who are blocking your way, then who else can shake the position of His Highness the Crown Prince?"

After listening to Cui Yingying's analysis, Li Chengqian's face turned red with excitement, and his eyes shone with a strange light.

"The talent of the Cui family leader is beyond my reach, Li Chengqian. Being able to form an alliance with the family leader is the best gift that I have received in three days."

Seeing that she had successfully fooled Li Chengqian, Cui Yingying smiled slightly, did not answer, and just said lightly:

"Since His Highness the Crown Prince understands the importance of this matter, please take action as soon as possible."

"In addition, the matter of obtaining the imperial edict is also urgent. I hope there will be no delay."

"After all, it will take time for your father to agree to the marriage, when to agree to it, and the wedding date of the two families."

Hearing Cui Yingying's reminder, Li Chengqian nodded hurriedly:

"Don't worry, Master Cui, Gu will have people spread the news. Now he will go to the palace in person to find his father and ask for his orders face to face."

Cui Yingying nodded with satisfaction, and then told Li Chengqian some details to pay attention to before leaving the Prince's Mansion with Butler Cui.

Sure enough, Cui Yingying came out of the Prince's Mansion.

A large group of people rushed out of the prince's residence and rushed to various cities and towns in Chang'an.

And Li Chengqian's driver went straight to the palace to find Li Shimin.

When Cui Yingying heard the news about the Prince's Mansion reported by the housekeeper, her beautiful eyes were filled with anger and she directly ordered:

"Let our people also spread the news, saying that the prince wanted to forcefully marry the daughter of my Cui family, but my daughter of the Cui family refused to obey and has hanged herself to death."

As he spoke, he paused and ordered again:

"You can find a random maid and dress her up as the daughter of my Cui family. You don't need me to teach you the rest, right?"

Butler Cui felt a chill down his spine, but he did not dare to show any disobedience. He immediately nodded and said:

"Little understands."

After saying that, he immediately ran outside.

Seeing Butler Cui leaving in a panic, Cui Yingying's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Old guy, if you hadn't stayed in the Cui family for so long and were relatively easy to use, I would have buried you alive just because you made the decision without permission today and almost brought the Cui family into catastrophe.

However, on second thought, although this is a big crisis for the Cui family, it is not a big opportunity. If Li Shimin can be grasped through this, then the Cui family will reach a higher level.

Li Shimin, who didn't know that he and his son had been plotted, looked at Wei Zheng kneeling in front of him, and the three waist cards and a document placed on his imperial case. He almost drew his sword and rushed into the prince's mansion. Cut Li Chengqian down to 18 yuan.
