LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 12
Something big happened at home, and the author was busy until late at night and had no time to write. I would write until five in the morning and try to write as much as I could. It is expected to be updated during the day the day after tomorrow. Book friends, please forgive me during these two days!
……
In Taiji Palace, Li Yuan took a rest after Gao Shilian left.
Wang Chengren, the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, secretly sent his confidant eunuch out of the palace to contact Li Shimin at the Prince of Qin's Mansion.
The young eunuch dictated to Li Shimin what Wang Chengren told him:"Today, His Majesty suddenly murmured to himself that he once had the idea of accomplishing General Tiance and Princess Pingyang and making their heirs the emperor's grandson. At night, he summoned
Zhongshu Ling Gao Shilian. The old slave was shunned at that time. I don’t know what exactly His Majesty and Zhongshu Ling were talking about."
After listening to the little eunuch’s dictation, Li Shimin’s expression suddenly changed.
Accomplish Li Changqing and Li Xiuning, and establish the emperor's grandson!
This news was like a thunder exploding in his head, making him feel extremely frightened.
Today, during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Jiancheng failed to ambush Li Changqing, but was deposed as crown prince instead.
This has basically established his position as crown prince!
Of Li Yuan's four legitimate sons, two died and one was crippled. In terms of family background and talent, no other concubine could compare with Li Shimin. The position of prince can only fall to him.
But he never expected that Li Yuan would have the idea of overstepping him and directly establishing the emperor's grandson!
After sending the young eunuch away, Li Shimin sat alone in the study, with an uncertain expression on his face. No one knew what he was thinking.
After a long time, he suddenly stood up and said,"Come here, prepare your horses and go to Changsun Mansion.""
……
Late at night, the people in Chang'an City had already turned off their lights and fell asleep.
The lights in Changsun Mansion were brightly lit, and Gao Shilian was talking with Changsun Wuji and Changsun Wugao brother and sister in the high hall.
The servants in the mansion were about to report the arrival of King Qin, but were stopped by Li Shimin.
Because he heard Gao Shilian talking about Changsun Wugou's marriage.
Li Shimin did not disturb the three uncles and nephews. He stood behind the pillar and listened silently in the darkness.
"Maid Guanyin, two years ago, I wanted to arrange a marriage for you and betroth you to the current King of Qin, Li Shimin. But you insisted on refusing, saying that you had someone in mind. I love you so much that I won’t force you."
Hearing this, Li Shimin's expression changed greatly.
No wonder that when he was not the King of Qin, he once tactfully told Changsun Wuji that he hoped to marry Changsun Wuji.
As a result, he never got a reply from Changsun Wuji. It turned out that Gao Shilian had already She wanted to betroth her eldest grandson Wugou to herself, but she refused!
It turned out that eldest grandson Wugou had already fallen in love with someone!
His face was ashen, but he remained calm and continued to listen.
Gao Shilian continued:"Today, your majesty wants to give God a gift." General Ce chooses a wife and asks me to recommend her. My first recommendation was Wu Shun, the daughter of the warrior Yun, but His Majesty rejected it.
Then he recommended Qinghe Cui's daughter. His Majesty hesitated and listed them as candidates. Finally, I recommended you, Guanyin Maid.
Two years ago you said you had a sweetheart and didn't like King Qin, so I let you have your way. But now, you are no longer young, you are a fifteen-year-old girl. Your so-called sweetheart is best forgotten by me.
Tomorrow morning, please dress up quickly and follow me to the palace to meet His Majesty. If His Majesty is satisfied, you will be the wife of Admiral Tiance."
Behind the pillar, Li Shimin's expression changed again and became extremely gloomy.
He had been in love with his eldest grandson Wugao for a long time, and wanted to find an opportunity to marry her when he was free.
However, due to the great unification war to eliminate the separatist warlords and various princes, He wasted time and never found the opportunity.
Now he heard the news that Changsun Wugou was likely to become Li Changqing's wife. How could he not be furious!
Changsun Wugou, who was kneeling next to the case, was not as good as Gao Shilian had imagined. Instead of feeling repulsive, his pretty face turned red and his eyes showed shyness.
This surprised him.
Gao Shilian still clearly remembered that two years ago, when his eldest grandson Wugu was thirteen years old, he saw that Li Shimin was very talented and potential. , so he planned to betroth his eldest grandson
Wukuo to him. However, as soon as he mentioned this idea to his eldest grandson, he met with fierce resistance and opposition.
The eldest grandson’s voice was as loud as a mosquito’s fly, he lowered his head and said timidly:"Uncle , the niece's lover is none other than General Tiance.
Two years ago, Admiral Tiance held a challenge in Luoyang City to challenge the world's masters.
He defeated Yang Lin with one move, defeated Pei Yuanqing with two halberds, and killed Wu Tianxi with three moves with his bare hands. In the end, he fought with His Majesty's third son, the late King of Zhao Li Yuanba, for a day and a night. Winning the title of the best hero in the world.
Since then, the demeanor of Admiral Tiance has been lingering in my mind.
If she can be favored by His Majesty and become the wife of General Tiance, her niece will naturally be happy, so how can she disobey her uncle again."
After saying this, she was so ashamed that she covered her face with her long sleeves and left the high hall as if she was running away, heading to the boudoir.
Only the stunned Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian with a happy face were left behind.
After Changsun Wugou left, Gao Shilian told Changsun Wuji a few words and left.
After Gao Shilian left the house, Li Shimin, who was hiding behind a pillar at night, walked up to Changsun Wuji.
Seeing Li Shimin suddenly appear, Changsun Wuji was shocked. He quickly stood up and saluted, and asked,"I wonder why His Highness the King of Qin came here late at night? Li
Shimin said with a livid face:"I had something to discuss with the auxiliary machine. I didn't expect that Zhongshu Ling was still there, so he didn't show up." Changsun
Wuji's expression changed, knowing that Li Shimin must have heard the conversation between Gao Shilian and Changsun Wugou.
Before he could speak, Li Shimin said again:"Wuji, you are the think tank of my Prince Qin's Palace, and also my king." The person you trust and rely on the most. You also know that I have long wanted to marry Guanyin, but I just haven’t had the time.
Wuji, go and explain to Maid Guanyin the pros and cons of the marriage between the Changsun family and the Qin Palace, and persuade her to marry me.
As for my father, it's easy to deal with. I only need to tell my father that I am in love with Guanyin, and he will not forcefully recruit Guanyin as his sixth brother's wife."
Changsun Wuji sighed. Why didn't he want to marry his sister to Li Shimin and become a brother-in-law with the Prince of Qin?
If the King of Qin ascends the throne in the future, he will be a minister. By then, he will be a very popular minister, and it will be no problem! The Changsun family, It can still stand.
If Li Shimin came first, Gao Shilian might be able to convince the eldest grandson Wugou.
But now the eldest grandson Wugou is full of joy and is waiting to meet Li Yuan tomorrow so that he can marry Li Changqing. Even if he tells the truth It was useless.
After sighing, Changsun Wuji quickly changed the subject and asked:"The King of Qin is here late at night, but is there something urgent?
Li Shimin's face became solemn and he said:"Today, Wang Chengren sent a message." It is said that the father was mumbling to himself alone in the Tai Chi Hall, and had the idea of establishing an emperor's grandson."
"The emperor's grandson? Changsun Wuji was shocked and asked quickly:"Which prince does your Majesty want to appoint as the grandson of the emperor?""
Li Shimin raised his head, looked at the direction of Tiance Mansion, and said slowly:"Li Changqing's son!"
There was deep jealousy and hatred on his face.
A parent-child is not as good as an adopted son. He is in exactly the same mood as Li Jiancheng at that time.
Sadness, anger, jealousy, all kinds of emotions are intertwined.
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji's eyes suddenly opened. He stared wide-eyed and said with a face full of horror:"Your Majesty wants to fulfill Admiral Tiance and Princess Pingyang!"
He has an exquisite heart. Li Shimin only said half of what he said before he inferred what was behind it.
"exactly!"Li Shimin's voice was very deep.
"In this way, not only could King Qin not be able to prevent the marriage between General Tiance and Maid Guanyin, but he would also try his best to facilitate it!"Changsun Wuji began to analyze for Li Shimin
"Your Majesty had the idea of accomplishing Admiral Tiance and Princess Pingyang, but this incident was shocking, would be reviled by the world, and would harm the royal family's face, so he finally gave up.
In order to cut off the thoughts between Admiral Tiance and Princess Pingyang, His Majesty made a marriage promise to Admiral Tiance in such a hurry.
Admiral Tiance's marriage to the Guanyin Maid will end the relationship between Admiral Tiance and Princess Pingyang as far as His Majesty is concerned. As far as the King of Qin was concerned, it prevented the birth of the emperor's grandson. Changsun
Wuji looked at Li Shimin with extremely hot eyes and said:"Your Highness, King Qin, a real man should aspire to the world, so what does it mean to have an affair between children?"
Under such circumstances, not only can you not prevent His Majesty from betrothing Guanyin to General Tiance, on the contrary, you can promote this matter! Otherwise, changes will occur later, and there will be some unpredictable changes."
Li Shimin chewed Changsun Wuji's words carefully. After chewing, he fell silent. He didn't say a word and returned to Prince Qin's Mansion with an expressionless face.
That night, he drank all night.
