Just like the original Yan State, although it was attacked by the Qin State, if there was no Prince Dan to assassinate Qin, the national quintessence of the Yan State could last for a while longer.
But because of Prince Dan's wrong actions, the Qin army attacked aggressively.In order to keep his throne, Yan Wangxi had no choice but to sacrifice his son to the Qin army.
Li Shimin kept thinking in his mind, if he also failed, how would Li Yuan treat himself?
"Your Highness, this matter needs to be discussed in the long term!" Changsun Wuji glanced at Lu Xun, with a look of distrust flashing across his brows and eyes.
"His Royal Highness Qin, time does not wait for us, I hope His Highness will make a decision." Seeing that Li Shimin was still hesitating, Lu Xun said again.
Li Shimin immediately made a decision: "If it's an assassination, how should we get close? Cao Anmin is not an ordinary person. You and I know his martial arts. Even if an ordinary assassin can pass many inspections, it is difficult for him to succeed in one blow."
Lu Xun seemed to have made up his mind a long time ago. Seeing Li Shimin's question, he said, "I heard that Cao Anmin is a lustful man, and his wives are all beauties. Why don't we gain Cao Anmin's trust in the name of offering beauty? Then wait for the opportunity to assassinate."
"Presenting beauty? Where do you go to find some beautiful women in such a hurry?" Du Ruhui was a little confused.
"Ordinary beauty is difficult to catch Cao Anmin's eyes. The woman we present must not only have beauty, but also family status. I think Princess Pingyang is the most suitable."
Lu Xun's words completely stirred up waves.
Everyone glanced at him first, but soon all turned to Li Shimin.
Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang is Li Yuan's most beloved daughter.
When I was a child, this princess didn't like red makeup and armed forces, but she liked to dance with spears and sticks, and learned a good martial arts.
When Li Yuan raised troops from Jiaozhou, Princess Pingyang volunteered to go to the prefectures and counties to recruit soldiers.Relying on his personal charm, he pulled up a team of thousands of people within a few days.
In order to win over the Chai clan in Jiaozhou, Li Yuan betrothed Li Xiuning to Chai Shao, the young master of the Chai clan.Unexpectedly, Chai Shao was also a short-lived ghost, and died of illness suddenly on the night of their marriage.
If he wanted to use other younger sisters as bait to go deep into the wolf's den and assassinate Cao Anmin, Li Shimin had no idea.But Li Xiuning had a close relationship with him since he was a child, so he couldn't bear to use her as bait.
"Why must it be Xiu Ning? There are many daughters of the Emperor Father, and Xiu Ning is not the most beautiful. Since it is seduction, why not choose the most beautiful one?"
Lu Xun shook his head: "Rich people often eat minced meat and get tired of eating it, let alone a master of the world like Cao Anmin. I have heard that his favorite concubines are all talented women who are outstanding in learning and famous for a while. Princess Pingyang, the talent Outstanding and good at martial arts, it just fits Cao Anmin's hobby of hunting for novelties."
Li Shimin seemed a little anxious, pacing back and forth in the big tent, stopping to think from time to time.
The surrounding civil and military forces also held their breath, waiting for Li Shimin's final decision.
Li Shimin thought for a quarter of an hour, and finally made a decision.
Between the country and the family, he chose the country.
Because only when Li Tang's country is stable can they keep their family relationship.
"After this matter is done, I will go to Jiankang in person immediately. Whether I agree or not depends on the decision of my father."
Lu Xun saluted and said, "If it succeeds, there is hope for the revival of our Tang Dynasty."
In Xiling City, after Cao Anmin returned from Changsha, he has been staying in Jiangxia, an important city.
The war has not yet broken out, and the generals and soldiers of the two countries are sharpening their swords and making final preparations.And this is also the time when Cao Anmin is most leisurely. Reading and traveling have almost become his whole life.
There was a sound of footsteps, and the Sanbao eunuch Zheng He walked in quickly.In front of Cao Anmin, he said: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, Cai Jing, is here to see you."
Cai Jing.
Cao Anmin was a little surprised.There is no need for any peace talks between the two countries up to now, and the butcher's knife of Qi State is hanging by his neck. If Tang State still ignorantly seeks peace, I am afraid there will be tricks in it.
But he didn't expect that the person who came was actually Cai Jing.
Li Jiancheng's people were generally in charge of Tang's foreign affairs. Even if it wasn't someone like Yu Shinan, he must be a well-known master of Confucian classics.
Although Cai Jing holds a high position, he cannot be regarded as a qualified envoy.
Sending him now, is it really difficult for Nan Tang to have no one to use?
"Where did the person go?"
"Landing from the riverside, the patrolling soldiers escorted them over, and they are now in the hall."
Cao Anmin quickly arrived near the hall, tidied his clothes at the door, and walked in quickly.
Inside the hall, Cai Jing sat kneeling there with a look of anxiety on his face.
In the Southern Tang Dynasty, he was Li Yuan's confidant and an important minister of a country.But here, he was a spy lurking in the empire from beginning to end.
The difference in status made him remind himself all the time.
Just as he was thinking, seeing Cao Anmin come in, he quickly stood up and bowed to Cao Anmin, "I see Your Majesty!"
"Excuse me!" Cao Anmin took a few steps forward, knelt down on the first seat, and nodded to Zheng He with a smile.
Zheng He walked out of the hall and withdrew all the attendants around him to ensure that the things discussed in the hall would never be known to outsiders.
"Why did thousands of miles suddenly come to Jiangxia? Is there any emergency in Nantang?"
Cai Jing took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands.
"Your Majesty, here is Li Yuan's marriage letter."
Marriage letter?
Cao Anmin took the letter, quickly scanned it, and immediately showed a faint smile on his face.
It seems that old man Li Yuan was really scared, and actually thought of exchanging his daughter for peace.
"The war between the two countries is inevitable, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, old man Li Yuan?"
Seeing Cao Anmin's initiative to ask questions, Cai Jing lowered his voice and said, "Li Yuan intends to assassinate a woman, Your Majesty must guard against it!"
"Assassination? I wonder what good idea old Li Yuan has. He originally intended to imitate Jing Ke, but did he think I was Ying Zheng? Since he is willing to send his daughter here, go back and tell him that I agree to this marriage!"
Seeing that Cao Anmin agreed so readily, Cai Jing continued: "Your Majesty, I have often heard that Princess Pingyang is very skilled in martial arts. Even though Your Majesty's martial arts skills are world-class, you have to guard against them!"
Cao Anmin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have my own opinion. After you go back, find a way to continue to drive a wedge between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, and force them to fight among themselves."
How dare Cai Jing refuse to follow Cao Anmin's instructions. After answering several times, Cai Jing hurried back to Jiankang.
Chapter 903 The Righteousness of the Country
The Qi and Tang countries had their own ghosts, and a marriage that would determine the fate of the two countries was reached within a few days.
As if his tail had been burned, the Lord Tang seemed impatient to marry his daughter. On the third day after Cao Anmin's letter arrived in Jiankang, the wedding procession had already set off.
There are no three books and six rituals, and there are no good days and auspicious days.As Li Yuan's most beloved daughter, Princess Pingyang went to the tiger's den with a heavy mission.
Cao Anmin, with Sima Yi as his envoy, waited halfway for Tang's marriage team.
