Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Facing Queen Changsun's ridicule, Cui Yingying's eyes flashed with contempt.

Then he looked at Li Shimin mockingly and slowly asked:

"Your Majesty, do you want to know why your great son is so confident? What does he rely on?"

Without waiting for Li Shimin to answer, Cui Yingying said to herself:

"You must have received the alliance letters from us before and read them carefully, right?"

"I don't know, what do you think of the Marco Polo above?"

"Do you know his origins and his background?"

Speaking of this, Cui Yingying paused deliberately, and then continued to mock:

"Haha, no one here must know his identity. The only one who knows is that he is an envoy from Lingnan, right?"

The people present were all human beings. When they heard Cui Yingying mentioning the person from the foreign country who was still extremely mysterious and could not find any clues at all, they knew that there must be something fishy in it.

"Don't you know how much Master Cui knows about Mr. Marco Polo? According to you, could it be that this person's identity is not that simple at all?"

Wang Gui stepped forward and took the initiative to ask.

"Simple? Haha, not only is it not simple, I am afraid that when I say it, I won't scare you into pissing your pants."

Facing Cui Yingying's repeated taunts, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth kept twitching, as if he was about to lose control of his emotions.

Queen Changsun, on the other hand, does not have so many scruples.

She changed from her previous dignified, virtuous, gentle and gentle self, and glared at the other party again, mockingly saying:

"Master Cui, so you know the other party's background? Then Bufan tell us and let us open our eyes."

Cui Yingying ignored Queen Changsun, but looked at Li Shimin and said:

"Li Er, do you still remember that Chu Mo who caused chaos in Chang'an five years ago?"

As soon as these words came out, the place fell silent for an instant.

I have a profound memory of that shit stirrer.

At this time, when Cui Yingying suddenly mentioned the other party's name, her mind was filled with thoughts.

Before everyone could think about it, Cui Yingying said again:

"Yes, that Marco Polo, he is not only an envoy of the Yang family in Lingnan, but also a subordinate of Chu Mo."

"Do you know about the extremely rampant pirates along the coast now? Do you know about the sudden appearance of a force of unknown origin in the northern peninsula of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"Yes, you guessed it right, it was all caused by that shit stick. Not only did he occupy the peninsula and defeat the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he still has the energy and power to make the Great Tang Dynasty restless."

"More than that, now he has reconciled with Yang Hongyu. According to the news our Cui family has received, he will declare war on Datang within a few days."

"And your good prince and son formed an alliance with such a powerful troublemaker. He wants to be like you and replace his father."

After saying that, Cui Yingying looked at everyone present with a joking look on her face. The shocked mouths could stuff a whole egg into their mouths, and said again:

"The main reason why I tell you this is because, as you know, there was some rift between me and Chu Mo back then. According to his character of vengeance, I was worried that he would take revenge on me after returning to Chang'an. Therefore, I have never said anything before. Agree to this alliance."

"It's just that your good eldest son, your good prince, used some means to deceive a steward of our Cui Mansion into signing the alliance letter, and dragged our Cui family into this muddy water. , for this, I had to come out and deal with it directly.”

"Now, you who know the truth still think that I am being aggressive? Am I making trouble unreasonably?"

At this moment, everyone was silent.

They never expected that there was such an unknown secret behind this incident.

Even Queen Changsun, who wanted to muddy the waters, fell silent at this time.

She also didn't expect that her son would be so ambitious. Not only did he want to ascend the throne, he would foolishly cooperate with Chu Mo. How was that different from seeking death?

Li Shimin, who had been listening quietly the whole time without expressing any opinion, sighed lightly. He knew it was time to make a decision.

Facing the teasing look on Cui Yingying's face, Li Shimin spoke:

"Master Cui, according to what you said, Chu Mo now has a lot of power in his hands. He can even start a war with the Tang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty at the same time without falling behind?"

"But I still have a doubt in my mind, and I hope Master Cui can clear it up."

Cui Yingying raised her eyebrows and looked directly at Li Shimin:

"Your Majesty, it's okay."

Li Shimin took a deep breath and asked with a trembling voice:

"Master Cui, do you know where Chu Mo got such power? Where is his Chinese army camp? Where is Chu Mo now?"

Hearing Li Shimin's question, Cui Yingying looked at him with mocking eyes again:

"Your Majesty the Emperor, do you think too highly of this little girl like me?"

"According to Chu Mo's wretched character, do you think he can reveal his hiding place?"

"However, I did get a lot of information from Marco Polo."

"First of all, I know that he is currently overseas. It is said that he is on a piece of land very far away from our country, the Tang Dynasty."

"You should also know that those pirates and the armies that attacked the Great Zhou came from the sea, right?"

"Secondly, the opponent's purpose this time is not to seize the territory of the Tang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty. His main purpose is simply to have fun and kill."

"This is also the reason why your stupid son is so eager to form an alliance with the other party."

"Finally, and most importantly, Chu Mo not only holds the idea to subvert the entire Tang Dynasty, but he is also hostile to you, Li Shimin. Unless I have to, I don't want to be an enemy of him. "

After saying that, Cui Yingying pretended to be weak, which made people feel distressed.

However, this look was ignored by everyone present.

Especially Empress Changsun, she snorted coldly and stood aside without saying a word.

At this time, she already understood that Li Chengqian could not be saved today, and the current situation had developed to the point where she could not intervene.

As for Li Shimin, facing such a sudden and powerful enemy, his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

He knew that at this point, there was no retreat at all. The only thing to do was to prepare for war as soon as possible.

However, most of the supplies in the entire Tang Dynasty are now in the hands of the Cui family and Qiwang of the fifth surname. If he wants to purchase and allocate large quantities, he will definitely not be able to bypass them.

When he was in a dilemma, Wang Gui took the initiative to step forward and said:

"Cui Family Master, now we are all in the same boat. I wonder what Cui Family Master's next plans are?"
