Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

"What did you say! I didn't hear you clearly, please explain it to me again!"

When Li Chengqian said that he wanted to marry the Cui family, Li Shimin felt like his head was buzzing.

If he had maintained a trace of rationality before, he believed that his good prince was probably bewitched or deceived by someone into giving away his belt. There might be some hidden secret that he didn't know about.

But now, I heard with my own ears that the other party wanted to marry the daughter of the Cui family. Looking at it, it didn't look like a temporary decision, but it looked like it had been planned in advance.

Li Shimin felt that the news conveyed by Wei Zheng must be true. He, a good prince, really no longer took his father seriously.

When Li Chengqian heard Li Shimin's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then said excitedly again:

"Father, my son and I have fallen in love with a young lady from the Cui family. I want to stay with her for the rest of my life. I would like to ask my father to issue an edict to make this happen."

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian intently, at the Tang prince who had high hopes for him.

Taking a deep breath, he resisted the urge to kill it directly, and the expression on his face gradually calmed down.

"Do you know that since I came to the throne, I have warned you and other brothers that there will never be any marriage between the royal family and the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. How long has it passed and you have completely forgotten my warning?"

"If you are the only elder brother like this, what will your younger brothers think in their minds? And you are still the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, the future successor to the throne. If you are so close to Qiwang of the Five Surnames, then what will happen to the future of the Tang Dynasty? Tang, can I still trust you to take charge?"

Li Shimin's words were very serious, and they were full of warning and threat.

However, at this time, Li Chengqian's mind was completely dazzled by the huge benefits and benefits that the marriage with the Cui family could bring, and he directly ignored the meaning of Li Shimin's words.

He ignored Wei Zheng who was still standing by with his eyebrows lowered and his head lowered. Instead, he directly looked into Li Shimin's eyes that were almost predatory and defended loudly:

"Father, my son and the daughter of the Cui family are in love, why can't you make my son happy?"

"Besides, now that the Cui family is so powerful, it has become the leader of the smugglers, even you don't dare to offend easily."

"If I can become the Cui family's son-in-law, then in the future, after I ascend to the throne of God, who else do you think can shake my position?"

Li Chengqian blurted out his thoughts directly without any thought, just to increase the bargaining chip in his hand and to force Li Shimin to accept the marriage.

However, what he didn't know was that his words completely touched Li Shimin's inner self.

Li Shimin's eyes widened and he stared at Li Chengqian in front of him.

He never expected that his good son, the majestic prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the future heir to the throne, would actually say such words.

He covered his chest with one hand, pointed at Li Chengqian with the other, and roared:

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Do you know who you are?"

"You, the majestic crown prince of a country, actually went to flatter the stinky feet of the five surnames and seven lords for your own selfish desires. Are you worthy of me, your mother, and the people of the entire world!!!"

Facing Li Shimin's questioning, Li Chengqian finally realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

But now, he doesn't care much.

If he fails to seize the opportunity this time and climb onto the big ship of the Cui family, death will be the only thing waiting for him.

Therefore, he decided to seize this opportunity regardless of everything, abandon everything.

"Father, I know what I am doing and the consequences of doing so. I also know that it is inappropriate and that I am disobeying you."

"But you have to understand my son's painstaking efforts."

"I know that the Tang Dynasty is currently suffering from internal and external troubles. There is the Great Zhou Dynasty in the north, Lingnan has ulterior motives in the south, and there are pirates causing trouble along the coast."

"It is precisely because of this that I guess the marriage with the Cui family is imminent."

"Father, think about it, if our royal family can marry with the Cui family, then we can tie the Cui family, and even the five surnames and Qiwang to our warships."

"And even if we can't win them over, we can't make them work for us."

"But as long as the marriage between Erchen and the Cui family is successful, breaking the ice on the surface and making a start, then our royal family can continue to marry with other families."

"I don't think that the other families will always watch the Cui family grow bigger and control the five surnames and seven looks."

"Before, it was because you had been suppressing the other families so that they could not compete with the Cui family. But now, as long as we marry them, we will have the opportunity to win over them, and then we can divide them."

"In this way, we will not only gain the resources and support of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, but also divide them. Father, don't you think your plan is feasible?"

Li Chengqian's thoughts were racing in his mind, and he quickly made up a reason for himself, hoping to persuade Li Shimin.

After listening to Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin also became silent.

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Wei Zheng, who was standing in the corner but had no air.

The old man learned so many royal scandals today and also heard Gao Ming's strategy. Should he kill people and silence them now?

As if he could feel Li Shimin's unkind gaze, Wei Zheng felt so miserable that he couldn't even tell.

But now, no matter what he said, it was already too late. He could only continue to stand motionless and pretend to be airy.

Seeing that Wei Zheng didn't move or express any opinions, Li Shimin's eyes flashed. He finally looked at the several pieces of evidence on the table, sighed, and decided to spare this old guy.

After all, if he can take out these things, there must be others out there. If they can't all be silenced, things will only get worse.

Since you are not prepared to silence the other party, you cannot let him just stand there and say nothing.

After coughing, Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng and said:

"Xuancheng, you heard what Gao Ming just said. I don't know if you have any opinions or suggestions. Please tell me for reference."

This statement is clear, and it is a knock on Wei Zheng.

Tell the other party, old guy, after hearing so many secrets from our father and son, it is impossible to pretend that you don’t know anything now.

Now I am going to drag you into this quagmire. It is your choice whether to jump or not.

Wei Zheng knew that if he continued to act stupid, he would definitely be pulled out and punished.

Exhaling slowly, he glanced at Li Chengqian, who was already flushed with excitement, and then looked at Li Shimin, who was looking at him with deep eyes in front of the imperial case, and opened his mouth and said slowly:

"Your Majesty, I feel that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is reasonable, but this matter must be considered in the long run. Is this matter too hasty?"
