Crossover Martial Arts: Oh my god! I'm actually a major villain!

Li Shimin slammed his fist on the table in anger and roared.

"Damn it, has Goryeo gone mad? Three hundred thousand troops, is Goryeo mobilizing its entire army to fight the Tang Dynasty to the death?"

Du Ruhui hurriedly bowed to Li Shimin and said,

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to send the 200,000 troops from Jingzhou to rescue Youzhou as soon as possible."

Li Shimin shouted with a cold face.

"Can the 200,000 troops in Jingzhou and Xiangyang be mobilized? The Sui Dynasty's Fancheng has been continuously reinforcing its troops. Now, Fancheng has 230,000 troops, but the Sui Dynasty's Feng Army is still sending more troops to Fancheng. This is clearly a prelude to launching a war against our Tang Empire."

Wei Zheng stepped forward and said with a serious expression,

"Your Majesty, we can only write a letter to the Sui Empire to make peace. Otherwise, if the Sui and Goryeo attack the Tang Empire at the same time, our Tang Empire will not be able to stop them at all."

"Damn it, the Tang Dynasty was also a Central Plains Empire, why don't those other Central Plains Empires recognize it?"

Li Shimin was extremely angry.

The Tang Empire was clearly a Central Plains Empire, but other Central Plains Empires simply did not recognize it. If those Central Plains Empires had recognized it, the Sui Empire would never have attacked the Tang Empire when foreign tribes invaded.

The officials in the main hall all lowered their heads.

The officials here were also very helpless. They were all from the Central Plains, but Emperor Li Shimin had non-Han ancestry.

Even Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate Incident,

Killing brothers

He took his brother's wife as a concubine.

All of this led to other Central Plains empires looking down on the Tang Dynasty, and they refused to accept the Tang Dynasty as a Central Plains empire. All of this was caused by Li Shimin.

"Wei Zheng, do you have a way to prevent the Sui Empire from waging war against the Tang Empire?"

Wei Zheng had no choice but to speak up.

"Your Majesty, let's arrange a marriage alliance!"

"A marriage alliance? With whom?"

"Marquis Su Chen of Wuwei!"

Li Shimin was furious when he heard Wei Zheng's words.

He wished he could kill Marquis Wuwei, Su Chen; how could he possibly still agree to a marriage alliance with him?

Li Shimin glared at him and refused.

"No, I absolutely cannot agree to a marriage alliance with Marquis Wuwei. Besides, the princesses are all very young, and there are no suitable candidates for such an alliance."

"Princess Li Xiuning!"

"Wei Zheng, do you want to die?"

After hearing Wei Zheng's words, Chai Shao

He was so angry that he wanted to kill Wei Zheng with a single blow.

Chai Shao was deeply in love with Li Xiuning, a fact known to all the ministers in the court. Wei Zheng knew perfectly well that he loved Princess Li Xiuning, yet this old scoundrel still dared to suggest that Li Xiuning be sent to marry a foreign ruler. Now, Chai Shao wished he could kill Wei Zheng.

·· ····Requesting flowers····· ···

Wei Zheng ignored Chai Shao.

He continued speaking to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, at present, only a marriage alliance can prevent the Sui Dynasty from launching a war. Marquis Wuwei is not yet married, and the Princess will be his principal wife after she marries him. This is of great importance to the future recuperation of our Tang Empire."

"Your subject agrees with Lord Wei's proposal."

"Your subject also agrees with Lord Wei's proposal!"

"Your subject agrees with Lord Wei's proposal."

........

All the ministers in the main hall agreed with Wei Zheng's proposal.

Chai Shao clenched his fists in anger. These colleagues, in order to prevent the Sui Dynasty from waging war, disregarded his feelings and agreed to let Li Xiuning go for a marriage alliance.

...

Chai Shao knelt down before Li Shimin and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Princess cannot be married off. Please do not agree to the marriage."

Li Shimin glanced at the ministers in the main hall.

He was also very angry, forcing his sister Li Xiuning to go on a marriage alliance was a slap in his face.

suddenly,

Li Shimin saw Li Zongdao, a cousin of the imperial clan.

He thought that Li Zongdao's daughter, Li Xueyan, was eighteen years old and not yet engaged or married, so Li Shimin decided to send Li Xueyan to marry the Marquis of Wuwei.

"The imperial decree states that Li Xueyan, daughter of Prince Li Zongdao of Rencheng, is intelligent, clever, gentle, and virtuous. She shall be granted the title of Princess Wencheng and shall be married off to Su Chen, Marquis of Wuwei of the Great Sui Empire."

After Li Shimin announced his decision

He looked at Wei Zheng and gave the order.

"Wei Zheng, this time you will be the envoy for the marriage alliance, and you will personally take Princess Wencheng to the capital of the Sui Dynasty. The marriage alliance must be completed, and the Sui Empire must also give up launching a war against the Tang Empire."

The officials in the main hall were all dumbfounded.

They hadn't expected Li Shimin to pull this stunt. Wasn't this a classic case of "switching the crown prince for a cat"? A member of the imperial family was being given the title of princess and sent to marry a foreign ruler—did Li Shimin think all the officials of the Sui Dynasty were fools?

After hearing Li Shimin's decree, Chai Shao

He felt relieved.

As long as it's not Li Xiuning who goes to the marriage alliance, Chai Shaocai doesn't care who the chosen person is.

"The minister obeys the order!"

At this time,

After realizing what was happening, Wei Zheng hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes."

Chapter 326 A Chance Encounter at the Teahouse: Yu Jia and Su Chen Clash!

Inside the main hall of the palace,

After making a few more announcements, Li Shimin adjourned the court session.

After Li Shimin left,

The ministers in the hall looked at each other, completely bewildered by Li Shimin's series of actions.

The Sui Empire was not like those foreign states where a mere princess could persuade the Marquis of Wuwei to abandon his attack on the Tang Empire.

is it possible?

Chai Shao happily congratulated Li Zongdao.

"Lord Li, congratulations! Your daughter may become the Empress of the Sui Dynasty in the future."

Upon hearing Chai Shao's words, Li Zongdao turned away with a cold expression.

He doesn't want to talk to Chai Shao right now.

Li Zongdao never expected that Li Shimin would use his woman for a political marriage.

He only has one daughter.

Li Shimin made the decision without even consulting him, which made Li Zongdao very disheartened by Li Shimin's actions.

Wei Zheng sighed as he approached Li Zongdao.

"Lord Li, alas! You should have your daughter prepare. I will be setting off for the Great Sui Empire tomorrow."

Li Zongdao nodded helplessly and said,

"I understand, Lord Wei. I will trouble you to take good care of my daughter along the way."

"It should, it should!"

Luoyang

Su Chen strolled along the street with Liu Sheng Piaoxu and Liu Sheng Xueji.

There was still no news from the person he was waiting for.

That person did not arrive.

Su Chen didn't dare to venture into Jingnian Temple on his own. He didn't want to risk his life by rushing into Jingnian Temple to save people, especially since there was an old bald monk in the Celestial Realm or even a pair of immortal beings in the Celestial Realm.

“Master, look, those seem to be some Turks over there.”

When Liu Sheng Piaoxu saw some Turks enter a teahouse, she hurriedly reminded Su Chen.

Su Chen glanced at them and said to the Liu sisters, "Let's go have some tea!"

"Yes, Master!"

In the teahouse,
