Li Shimin was in a good mood after being praised by the stubborn old man Wei Zheng and couldn't help but grin.

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji thought it was not good, after all, the prince's faction was the backbone of the advocate of marriage.

If a marriage agreement suddenly changes, this represents the emperor's denial of the prince's claim.

For the crown prince of a country, this is not a good signal!

As a leader in the Prince's line, Changsun Wuji certainly didn't want to see this happen. He stood up and said:

"The marriage is a tradition in history and a strategy for the Central Plains dynasty to deal with foreign foreign countries."

"Border peace can be exchanged for peace on the border, keep the people on the border free from harassment, and make the soldiers bleeding. The strategy of marriage can bring peace for a period of time, allowing the country to cultivate and rest, prepare for war, and make the country truly powerful."

"Besides, taking on the burden of the country with a daughter is the supreme glory. Otherwise, once wars arise, many men are buried in the battlefield, many people cry, and many families are separated, please think twice."

His Majesty Li Er turned to Wei Zheng and said, "What do you think, my dear friends?"

Wei Zheng tilted his head slightly and said with his fist: "The old minister thinks that the Minister of Rites said it well. Once the integrity is thrown away, it will be difficult to pick up again!"

Fang Xuanling and Li Ji also jumped out to express their support.

The disagreement of opinions from the ministers in the court gave Li Shimin a headache.

However, His Majesty Li Er still has a vision and directly decided to discuss the possible consequences of refusing to marry.

Just as the court officials were discussing endlessly, there was a storm in the county and prince's palace.

Prince Li Daozong of Jiangxia sat in the first place, looking at his daughter kneeling in front of him and sobbing, his heart hurt like a needle.

The originally funny face was expressionless.

Li Daozong did not expect that Li Shimin, the cousin, actually wanted his daughter to marry Tubo, which was really hard to say.

Unlike the world who prefers boys over girls, Li Dao regards his daughter as the pearl in his hand, and everyone knows her doting feelings.

Seeing that his daughter had just arrived at the siege, she was already graceful and beautiful, and had a beautiful appearance, Li Daozong became more and more pampered.

I usually speak softly and never want to say a harsh word, and the person who asks for marriage has even broken through the threshold of the royal palace.

Now seeing her gentle and well-educated daughter crying in the rain, how can she not make Li Daozong feel heartbroken?

As a father, Li Daozong could only watch this way and could not say a word of comfort.

As the emperor, Li Shimin did not issue an order, but he had already suggested that, so Li Daozong had no room for resistance.

He didn't even dare to give his daughter a false promise!

"Father, my daughter doesn't want to marry into Tubo. My daughter is willing to never get married in this life. Just stay in front of my father's knees and be filial. Will she succeed?"

Li Xueyan's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and tears slid across her clear and white face like a broken pearl, crying heartbrokenly, begging with a sound of swallowing.

Seeing his daughter's grievance, Prince Li Daozong of Jiangxia felt like a knife cut, and his mouth squirmed a few times, but no sound was made.

If you want to ask His Majesty Li Er?

Of course!

Not to mention asking for help, he would not frown even if he wanted to die for his daughter.

But the question is that it is useless to ask for it.

Now he is being suspicious of Li Shimin, and the position of Minister of Rites is about to be removed, but he has no complaints.

But when Li Daozong thought of letting his daughter marry far away in the cold and bitter place, he had no choice but to feel his incompetence.

I thought I was never weaker than others, but I had no power to resist the imperial power, and I couldn't help but feel a little resentment towards Li Shimin.

Since the news that his Majesty planned to agree to Tubo's proposal two days ago, Li Daozong felt something was wrong.

If there is no princess who is suitable for marriage in the palace of His Majesty Li Er, according to the rules, he will find a woman of the right age and still not married in the royal family to give the princess a title of marriage and marriage.

Who in the royal family would like their daughter to marry far away to a cold place and go to the wind and eat the soil?

So a strange phenomenon occurred two days ago.

If there is a daughter of appropriate age in the royal family, they hurriedly chose a son-in-law for their daughter.

Even if they cannot get married immediately, they will quickly make a marriage just to make a illusion of having a family in-laws.

In this way, even if His Majesty Li Er is shameless, he cannot let his relatives give up the marriage, right?

There was even a wave of engagement in Chang'an City.

Others can do this, but Li Daozong can't do it!

Two days ago, His Majesty summoned him into the palace, saying that he was commending his achievements and showing his relatives' affection.

At that time, Li Daozong didn't understand. Didn't he always suspect him? Why did he suddenly become intimate now?

When he was about to leave, His Majesty Li Er asked inadvertently: "Is the niece Xueyan already in the hairpin?"

At first, Li Daozong thought Li Shimin was concerned about his daughter, and he was quite happy.

I thought that even if I alienated myself, I would still miss the family relationship for my daughter.

But how could he know that it was not long before the palace was reported that His Majesty wanted to agree to the Tubo marriage.

At this time, Li Daozong suddenly realized that His Majesty Li Er obviously wanted to marry his daughter far away to Tubo.

If it weren't for Yang Fan's trouble yesterday, Li Daozong believed that the edict to enthrone his daughter as a princess would probably have been issued.

Even though Yang Fan's offense caused a lot of controversy yesterday, those few rebellious words made the city full of storms.

But Li Daozong did not believe that His Majesty Li Er would obey Yang Fan's advice and dispel the marriage.

Because Li Daozong knew Li Shimin's character in particular and had a deep understanding of the situation in the court.

He was also a great general of the Tang Dynasty, so it was naturally obvious that His Majesty Li Er agreed to marry Tubo, which was obviously to plan Goguryeo.

Compared with His Majesty Li Er's ambition, everything has to be given way and no one can stop it.

But looking at the daughter in front of him, Li Daozong felt really distressed!

If possible, I want to marry Tubo by myself instead of my daughter!

Li Xueyan naturally understood the difficulties of her father. After venting for a while, she knew that things could not be changed, so she wiped away her tears and showed a sad smile.

He swallowed and said, "Father, my daughter is not willful, but she really does not want to stay away from her parents. I also ask my father not to worry about her daughter anymore. If His Majesty gives an order, her daughter will assume the responsibility of marriage!"

Looking at his well-behaved and charming daughter, Li Daozong's heart seemed to have been drained from his heart, and he was so painful that he couldn't breathe!

A dignified man charges and takes the lead. Killing the enemy is like cutting melons and vegetables, but now he can't even protect his daughter.

So sad!

If you want to marry your daughter to Tubo, you will die first!

I used to be cautious in everything, but now I should be impulsive.

Thinking of this, Li Daozong suddenly stood up, showed a kind smile to his daughter, and comforted softly: "Don't worry, Yan'er, for your father, come to the palace to meet Your Majesty. If Your Majesty insists on choosing your marriage, let Your Majesty chop off the head of your father first."

After saying that, he swung his robe and clothes, Li Daozong walked out of the door as bravely as if he was brave and righteous, shouting: "Come here, prepare a sedan chair and enter the palace..."

When they arrived at the palace, Li Shimin was discussing affairs with several ministers Fang Xuanling and several other ministers in the Tai Chi Hall.

When he heard that Li Daozong, the Prince of Jiangxia, asked for a meeting, His Majesty Li frowned slightly and announced that he would enter the palace.

When he walked into the hall, Li Daozong was slightly shocked when he saw the ministers present, but he no longer hesitated and bowed and said:

"Li Daozong begs His Majesty to send his humble ministers to guard Songzhou. If he has a breath, he will not let the Tubo barbarians step into the territory of our Tang Dynasty. He begs His Majesty to take back the order of marriage."

The ministers in the hall were quiet. Unexpectedly, Li Daozong dared to offend the naive advice, which was completely different from his usual low-key and obscureness.

His Majesty Li Er was also quite surprised and comforted him: "You and I are both clans and are my brothers. How can I harm you? I have made arrangements in Songzhou. You can do your duty and responsibility in the court."

His Majesty Li Er really had the means, and this call of my brother made Li Daozong feel warm.

Before Li Shimin ascended the throne, he often called this name to show closeness.

Of course, Li Daozong also understood that His Majesty Li Er called out the title that he had never used for many years, just to make him obedient.

However, Li Daozong was risking his life to give advice today, and he knelt down and asked loudly, "Please accept your kindness!"

This time I decided to give my best for my daughter Li Daozong!

If it were in the past, with his cautious personality, he would never dare to contradict him like this.

Obviously, the situation has changed now. After Yang Fan’s trouble, there have been calls for refusal to marry, both in the court and in the court.

Let’s look at the people in the hall, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Li Ji...

With so many important officials on the list, I am afraid that it is also discussing marriage.

As long as His Majesty Li Er has not issued an imperial edict, things will turn around.

Seeing Li Daozong pestering him all the time, although His Majesty Li Er was not happy, he couldn't do anything about him.

The two were brothers of the same clan. When conquering the world, Li Daozong led the way and made countless contributions.

Now I want his daughter to go and have a marriage tribute, so it’s normal for me to be in trouble.

What’s even more rare is that this cousin is loyal to him from beginning to end!

His Majesty Li Er took a deep breath and said patiently: "You are here to listen for the time being, this matter is being discussed."
