Surprised, Yang Fan fell into silence.

Why did Li Shimin choose to get married under such good circumstances? This is a behavior that is hard to understand.

In order to conquer Goguryeo, would we rather raise tigers and cultivate a powerful enemy like Tibet?

And why did Li Ji reveal Li Shimin's thoughts to himself?

Each one of them seemed a bit strange, and it was obviously impossible for him to dissuade Li Shimin from getting married.

In terms of reliance, the words of Li Ji and other important officials in the court were obviously better than Yang Fan.

No matter in terms of official position, age or seniority, it is not your turn. This is the eternal truth of the officialdom of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Li Ji made such an obvious point, obviously he had other motives.

What is it about him that can attract this famous general known as Little Zhuge?

Yang Fan was a little confused!

However, since Li Ji said this, Yang Fan certainly had to understand why Li Shimin had such a huge change.

He slowly raised his head and stared at Li Ji and asked, "Uncle Li, why does His Majesty's attitude change so drastically..."

When Yang Fan walked out of the British government's mansion, he was still a little confused, and could even be said to be dumbfounded.

It turns out that the reason why Li Shimin changed so much before and after.

On the one hand, the Tubo envoy Lu Dongzan expressed strong dissatisfaction after discovering that he had been cheated.

On the other hand, Li Shimin was a little afraid of Songtsan Gampo, the Tubo Zampo.

Tubo Zanpu emphasized that his power came from heaven, which is the so-called "divine right of kings". He emphasized that Zanpu's bloodline belonged to the divine system and his monarchy came from the gods.

The geographical conditions of Tubo have given Songtsen Gampo, the magic stick, a layer of mystery.

Because most people or troops from the Tang Dynasty would become dizzy or even die after arriving in Tubo.

Due to historical limitations, people in this era did not understand the reasons, so they were regarded as Tubo people and were favored by the gods.

Therefore, Li Shimin was so afraid of Tubo.

Li Shimin believed that since Tubo was favored by God, it was impossible for the Tang army to defeat Songtsen Gampo, who was favored by the gods, in Tubo.

It would be better to get married earlier to settle the matter, which would lead to inconsistent behavior.

After learning the reason, Yang Fan couldn't laugh or cry. He also really admired Lu Dongzan for being such a big deceiver. He was so good at making it up.

If in future generations, 80 to 90 percent of people would know this, what kind of divine favor is this?

Obviously, the altitude of Tubo is too high and the oxygen is relatively thin. People who have lived in low-altitude areas for a long time are prone to altitude sickness if they venture there.

Altitude sickness, to put it bluntly, is a lack of oxygen in the brain, resulting in insufficient oxygen and blood supply. In mild cases, it can lead to dizziness, dizziness, and weakness. In severe cases, it can lead to death.

Unexpectedly, the Tubo people forcibly gave it a layer of apotheosis.

No wonder that in the original Tang Dynasty, after defeating the Tubo army in Songzhou, Li Shimin won the battle and agreed to Tubo's request for a marriage.

This is so ridiculous!

The reason why Li Ji mentioned Yang Fan so much was because he wanted Yang Fan to find a suitable military position to participate in His Majesty Li Er's Eastern Expedition.

Although Yang Fan has been knighted and given an official position by His Majesty Li Er, and he has also provided many opinions to the court.

For example: he presented methods for preventing and controlling the smallpox epidemic, proposed reforms to the imperial examination system, and earned Li Er a lot of money...

It seems that he has a lot of merit, but in fact it is very vain.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was only one resounding achievement that could make a person stand proudly in the court, and that was the military exploits of opening up borders and splitting the land.

Once His Majesty Li Er conquers Goguryeo, it will be a golden opportunity to gain military exploits!

If His Majesty Li Er personally conquered Goguryeo and used the Tang Dynasty's hundreds of battles to destroy Goguryeo in one fell swoop, as long as he could participate in this battle, his military achievements would not be easy.

Although it is impossible for Yang Fan to serve as a pioneer officer and win the first achievement due to his age and qualifications.

But after all, Yang Fan was deeply favored at this time.

If you work hard, even if you are escorting food and grass, or maintaining military discipline, it is a rare achievement.

Today is the eleventh year of Zhenguan.

Although it cannot be said that all nations came to court, there were really few countries that dared to confront the Tang Dynasty.

The Turks were driven far away from the grasslands, and Tubo and Gaochang were also isolated.

Although these countries only surrendered superficially, in Li Ji's view, the Tang Dynasty did not have many battles to fight.

In a few years, there will be no place to fight a war, let alone gain military exploits.

If Goryeo is destroyed, Yang Fan doesn't know when and how long he will be able to win military exploits. This is why Li Ji deliberately reminded Yang Fan.

As for why Yang Fan was favored by Li Ji.

Of course it’s because of Li Siwen’s ‘son’!

As a descendant of Li Siwen's good friend, Li Ji certainly didn't want her to be kicked away after a hundred years.

Li Siwen fell in love with Yang Fan, although Yang Fan didn't know that Li Siwen was disguised as a man.

But in Li Ji's eyes, Yang Fan had already been regarded as Li Siwen's future husband.

It can even be said that Yang Fan was the shelter Li Ji found for Li Siwen.

That’s why I made the point just now.

The purpose is of course to enable Yang Fan to obtain military exploits as soon as possible and lay a solid foundation.

However, Li Ji never expected that even though Yang Fan seemed to be relying on Li Shimin's power.

The reason why Yang Fan dared to act boldly was because of his own strength, not because of Li Shimin's favor.

Yang Fan's confidence lies in the salted fish system and the trained special forces.

Walking on Zhuque Street, the cold wind blew, which made Yang Fan clear-headed.

Thinking that Li Ji had just asked him to take care of Li Siwen more in the future, Yang Fan was a little confused.

In Yang Fan's view, as Li Siwen is his brother, if he is in trouble, he will certainly help him without hesitation.

Besides, doesn’t he also have an old fox like Li Ji?

If you remember correctly, Li Ji didn't seem to have made any big mistakes in his life, and he was enjoying his old age peacefully. There should be no time when he had to take action himself.

What's more, Li Siwen's skills are much higher than those of Cheng Chumo and others, so there is no need for his own protection.

But Yang Fan couldn't even imagine that the kind of care Li Ji said would last a lifetime, let alone that Li Siwen would be a woman.

He shook his head, sorted out his thoughts, and secretly thought about how to persuade and explain the court meeting in the next few days.

I looked up at the busy street market. Red lanterns were hung on both sides of the street, and the people wandering around were filled with happy smiles.

Yang Fan secretly decided that he would do his best to prevent the marriage from being completed.

This kind of marriage would do a lot of harm to the Tang Dynasty without any benefit, and it was really undesirable.

I wandered back to the house, and when I walked to the door, I met a pretty little maid, with long legs and slim waist, and a pretty face. This is the little maid Xing'er.

Even in the cold winter, her pretty face is so delicate that it is almost dripping with water.

But at this time, he frowned slightly, looking a little anxious, and kept walking back and forth with his little feet.

When I saw Yang Fan at the door of the front yard, I was immediately overjoyed and trotted up to Yang Fan with brisk steps.

He raised his little head in excitement and said, "Sir, you are finally back!"

Yang Fan smiled slightly, stroked the little girl's bun, and found that the little girl had actually grown half a head taller.

Because I have been busy in the past few months, I have not bothered to observe, and now it has gradually grown.

Seeing that Yang Fan still liked to touch his little head as before, Xing'er closed her mouth and squinted her eyes slightly, as well-behaved as a kitten.

Ever since he officially brought Wu Meiniang into the room, Yang Fan hadn't stroked her head so affectionately for a long time.

It's not that Wu Meiniang is jealous and won't allow it, but the house is busy with affairs, and personal maids like Xing'er and others are also assigned tasks by Wu Meiniang.

However, Yang Fan didn't say anything to these, but was very supportive.

As a woman, it’s actually good to do something to relieve boredom, as long as it’s not too hard.

Seeing that this little girl Xing'er was acting coquettishly, Yang Fan smiled slightly and asked, "Why are you so anxious? Is there something wrong?"

Only then did Xing'er realize that she had forgotten the important matter. She stuck out her little tongue playfully and said anxiously: "Oh, it's all your fault, sir, I almost forgot the important matter;"
