Chapter 102
In the early morning of the second day, Changsun Wuji went to the palace to go to court. Originally, he wanted to find out Li Shimin's tone first after the court.

But for some reason, Li Shimin kept avoiding him, which made Changsun Wuji quite puzzled. When he wanted to find a private time, he went to Li Shimin's imperial study to ask, but Hu Po, the concubine's maid, blocked his way.

"Duke Qi, the imperial concubine is here to invite you!"

Changsun Wuji noticed Hu Po's dignified expression, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurried to the empress dowager's bedroom.

When the imperial concubine met Changsun Wuji, she didn't exchange pleasantries, and directly told him what happened to her yesterday.

"What? Your Majesty opposes Chong'er and Changle's marriage, and even got angry with the concubine? This, this is unreasonable!"

Changsun Wuji looked surprised and couldn't believe it, and the Empress Dowager also looked puzzled.

"Aijia also finds it strange, Wuji, Aijia thought about it last night, could it be that you unintentionally offended His Majesty?"

Changsun Wuji frowned, pondered for a while, and shook his head again and again, "This matter is absolutely impossible. During this time, I have always been loyal to my duties, and when I get along with Your Majesty, I also abide by my duties as a monarch and minister."

"When I was in the imperial study yesterday, I was chatting and laughing with His Majesty. At that time, Fang Xuanling and others were also there. I can't..."

Changsun Wuji thought carefully about his interactions with Li Shimin in recent days, and he never imagined where he might offend Li Shimin.

The concubine's eyes became more puzzled, "The Ai family believes in you, but His Majesty's actions are really unpredictable."

Not only was it difficult to guess, it was simply incomprehensible. For the first time, Changsun Wuji felt that the emperor's heart was unpredictable.

In fact, Li Shimin is not as unpredictable as his grandson Wuji, it is only because of Li Fu, and Li Shimin really has important matters to deal with today.

Tubo sent their prime minister as an envoy to propose marriage to the Tang Dynasty on behalf of their great king Songtsan Gampo.

Li Shimin wanted to hear Li Fu's thoughts on the matter of proposing marriage with Tubo, so after he came down to court, Li Shimin summoned the crown prince Li Fu. As usual, Li Fu didn't express any constructive opinions, but he complained in his heart .

[This time is wrong, why did Lu Dongzan come to Datang to propose marriage so early?Could it be that history has changed! 】

【Well, no matter, anyway, that idiot Li Er will definitely agree to the marriage, thus kicking off the prelude to the marriage between Datang and foreign countries. 】

[By the way, what is the name of Princess Wencheng who married Songtsan Gampo in the end?It seems to be Li Chengtong, yes, the daughter of Jiangxia County King Li Daozong, it is absolutely impossible for Li Er, an old man, to marry his daughter into Tubo. 】

[Poor father and daughter, Li Daozong seems to have personally sent Li Chengtong to Tubo, and then started Princess Wencheng's hard life, and Tubo began to benefit from this marriage just like Dongying. 】

【Hey, Li Er is an old bastard who always doesn't do human affairs, and always likes to cause trouble for thousands of years. I really don't know why later generations say that he is an emperor through the ages. In my opinion, it is right to cause harm through the ages! 】

What am I doing again?How could it harm the millennium?Li Shimin had a black line on his forehead.

He found that in the eyes of the crown prince Li Fu, he was always doing wrong things, and what he did was the kind of big mistakes that would last forever!

But at the same time, Li Shimin was very shocked, because it was indeed as Li Fu thought, he decided to marry Tubo, and the candidate had already been booked, and even this morning he finally finalized the princess name of the pardon, which was Wencheng.

In response to Tubo's marriage proposal, Li Shimin specially selected a beautiful and beautiful princess of the right age from the clan, who was Li Chengtong, the daughter of Jiangxia County King Li Daozong.

But the whole matter has been kept top secret until now, Li Shimin didn't even mention it to Fang Xuanling and others, but only secretly told Jiangxia County King Li Daozong in the early court.

Li Shimin believed that Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, could not pass the news to Li Fu so quickly, because Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, was the most low-key and almost never had any contact with the clan.

But the problem is now exposed by Li Fu. The princess he is going to marry is Li Chengtong, the daughter of Jiangxia County King Li Daozong, and he also knows the title Wencheng, which makes Li Shimin very shocked.

"Prince, do you have any opinion on Tubo's intercession?" Li Shimin asked Li Fu, holding back his excitement.

He had a purpose in asking this question. After Dongying sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty last time, Li Shimin knew that he had to ask this question in order to find out what kind of wolfish ambition Tubo had for the Tang Dynasty.

"This is a major national event, and everything can be decided solely by the emperor's plan!" Li Fu looked humble and obedient.

He is the prince now and has no decision-making power over the country's affairs. There is no need to offend Li Shimin for this. Li Shimin can marry Li Shimin if he likes it. Anyway, as long as he doesn't marry Li Mingda, he doesn't care.

When Li Shimin wanted to ask something, Li Junxian rushed over suddenly, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Fang and Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan are waiting in the side hall."

Hearing this, Li Shimin frowned slightly. It seemed that Tubo was very determined this time. Lu Dongzan probably went to Fang Xuanling directly instead of finding the principal of Honglu Temple.

From Baiqi, Li Shimin already knew that Songtsan Gambo sent his prime minister this time, offering him 5000 taels of gold and countless treasures, and he asked to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty.

Originally, based on state affairs and the current situation of Datang, he agreed to Songtsen Gampo's marriage proposal and agreed with Datang's strategic needs. After all, the future strategies of Datang will all develop eastward.

But what Li Shimin heard from Li Fu's voice today made Li Shimin hesitate.

"Go, let Duke Wei and Duke Ying come to the side hall together." Li Shimin waved his hand, and Li Junxian went immediately.

Seeing that Li Shimin had something to do, Li Fu hurriedly cupped his hands: "Father, since you have something important to do, the minister will step down."

"No need." Li Shimin had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and grabbed Li Fu who wanted to slip away, "You are the head of the Honglu Temple, and you just happened to meet the Tubo Prime Minister with me, and help me out with ideas."

"Ah?" When Li Fu heard that he wanted to follow, he suddenly looked sad. He couldn't figure out what Li Shimin was doing with him, and what idea could he come up with!
When they arrived at the side hall, Li Shimin and Li Fu stepped into the main hall. The Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan, who was dressed in a foreign land and looked thin and dark, immediately bowed to Li Shimin.

Li Fu saw at a glance the disdainful light in Lu Dongzan's eyes when he was saluting, and he understood it immediately.

At this time, Tubo actually looked down on Datang from the bottom of their hearts, and their courtship was also for strategic needs. Their understanding of Datang was still in the early years of Zhenguan, because at that time, Datang was almost wiped out by the Turks. up.

Although Li Shimin destroyed the Turks afterwards, the battle was very dangerous. If Li Jing hadn't commanded it properly, it is still unclear who would win and who would lose.
