Qin Huaidao was not timid in the face of Li Er's scolding. Instead, he took two steps forward and solemnly said: "Your Majesty, if we get married and entrust peace to a woman, the blood of the Tang Dynasty will be trampled to the ground from now on, and millions of soldiers will be shameless.
, morale has plummeted, how to protect the border? Since ancient times, peace has been achieved through fighting, not through marriage. Are there still too few marriages in the past dynasties?"
"That's right, since ancient times, peace has been achieved through fighting, not through marriage." Li Jing agreed.
Qin Huaidao continued: "Your Majesty, ministers, all the men in the Tang Dynasty should be ashamed to die of shame by relying on a woman to buy peace. They should all go back to wash and cook, abdicate the throne and let women govern the court."
"That's easy to say. If we fight, where will the food and grass come from?" Xiao Yu asked coldly.
Li Jing was at a loss for words for a while, so he contacted Li Jing to clear the door, but the food and grass were in trouble.
Qin Huaidao would not be used to it. How old is he? He said unceremoniously: "Master Xiao, if we can't get food and grass, what use is the household department, and what use are the civil servants?"
Knock down everyone with one shot.
All civil servants in the court were immediately angry and looked at Qin Huaidao with cold eyes.
But Li Er smiled - is this the Qin Huaidao who unreasonably disturbs the situation in his mind?
Qin Huaidao calmly faced the angry looks of many civil servants and continued to argue: "What are you looking at? If you have the guts to come and fight, you will admit defeat if you promise not to fight back. You will also imitate the Tubo King and take silver compensation and ask for a marriage. Who will come first?"
"Hahaha!" the generals laughed.
Li Jing, who has always been rigorous and unsmiling, couldn't help but laugh and said: "Hahaha, Your Majesty, if the King of Tubo loses the battle, he will pay compensation and make a marriage. If Lord Qin loses the battle, he will also pay compensation. The marriage is reasonable and reasonable. I think it is feasible."
"That's right, whoever comes first, I promise Qin Huaidao won't fight back." Cheng Yaojin also coaxed.
Yuchi Gong also shouted: "You can get a good son-in-law without spending a single silver or a millet and paying compensation. Why don't you hurry up and get such a good thing?"
The civil servants were stunned, why are these words so familiar?
Li Er suppressed a smile, his eyes full of approval. If he really wanted to get married, he would lose his own daughter. Who would be a father? He couldn't help but joked: "My dear friends, I think this proposal is good. Qin Aiqing, I lost the fight."
Remember to compensate. If the money is not enough, I will lend you some. You must propose a marriage. Who dares not to agree, I will make the decision for you."
"Your Majesty, my family is not well-off, but I can still borrow a few taels to support my family." Cheng Yaojin laughed.
"I am also willing!"
Several princes said one after another that they were afraid that the world would not be in chaos.
Qin Huaidao was really afraid that these civil servants would be shameless and take advantage of him, so he quickly said: "Your Majesty, it is best for them to choose beautiful women and give them a larger dowry, otherwise the civil servants will not agree and will follow the example of the Tubo King and come to his door every day and cause trouble.
His family is restless."
"I think it's okay." Li Er's face turned cold, and his gaze on everyone was a little more meaningful.
Everyone suddenly realized that when they persuaded Li Er to get married just now, he also asked Li Er to choose beautiful women and give more dowries to appease the Tibetan king and prevent the Tibetan army from marching eastward and causing unrest on the border.
At this moment, everyone's faces were burning and their expressions were extremely complicated.
Qin Huaidao stared at the crowd and sneered: "Why, you can't bear to part with your daughter? You can't bear to let her go, so you can let the Holy One marry her? It's not your daughter who is co-arranging the marriage, so it doesn't matter, just give it away to anyone else, right?"
His words were shocking and enlightening, and touched people's hearts directly.
This said that Li Er was upset, but Li Er was the Holy One, and the Holy One had nothing to do with himself, so he could not say the same thing. He shouted happily at this moment, and saw that Qin Huaidao was even more satisfied. He thought that there would be more disputes in the future, so he let this son disturb the situation.
Qin Huaidao was also angered by the marriage talks. How could a good man rely on a woman to protect his safety? He couldn't hold back his anger for a moment and continued to argue: "Your Majesty, I suggest that from now on, if anyone proposes a marriage, please ask Your Majesty to accept it."
His legitimate daughter is an adopted daughter, she is made a princess, and she is sent to marry him. I believe millions of soldiers will understand and become more loyal and brave."
"Yes, I second the proposal!"
The military generals became excited again when they heard this. In the past, they had been silenced by civil servants every time they met at court. At this moment, they were as if they had been beaten to death. They shouted happily and came out to second their opinions one after another.
Li Er's eyes also lit up and he said with satisfaction: "This is a good idea."
At this point, the ministers who had just agreed to the marriage would be fools if they didn't know that Li Er was opposed to the marriage. They all dared not answer the question and hated Qin Huaidao in their hearts.
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Huaidao with a bit of resentment. He originally thought that the highlight moment had come, but he didn't expect to become a clown. This was unacceptable to Xiao Yu, a veteran of two dynasties.
The court meeting ended with the complete defeat of the civil servants, which was unprecedented. The generals were excited and looked at Qin Huaidao with eager eyes. The marriage proposal also ended in an incredible way, and no one dared to mention it again.
Cheng Yaojin pulled Qin Huaidao and laughed and said, "Yes, I didn't disgrace your father."
"Who was yelling just now and has no patience at all?" Li Jing sneered and looked at Qin Huaidao: "First lure the enemy deeper, and then use his own methods to retaliate. It will be decided in one battle, and in the end it will be the bottom of the cauldron.
Let’s see who dares to get married in the future and has mastered the art of war.”
"I don't dare, I'm just being willful and fooling around. I don't deserve Uncle Li's praise."
Cheng Yaojin said nonchalantly: "Regardless of nonsense or military skills, in short, we won a big victory today. I didn't expect that you are so good at talking and talking, and you actually made those civil servants who only know how to talk speechless. I am so happy. Today, I will win a big victory."
It suddenly dawned on me that a cow died of illness in my house yesterday, so it would be a perfect accompaniment to the wine."
During the Zhenguan period, agriculture was emphasized and cattle were not allowed to be slaughtered. Cheng Laohei was the only one who dared to openly eat beef. Everyone was not surprised by this and nodded and laughed.
A chamberlain ran over and whispered: "Master Qin, your Majesty has summoned you."
Qin Huaidao was mentally prepared and followed his chamberlain to the Manlu Hall. Seeing that there was only Li Er and no other ministers, he stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen your Majesty!"
"Sit down and chat, what happened just now was a bit nonsense." Li Er pointed to the seat next to him, his eyes full of joyful smile, how could he mean to blame at all?
He offered to sit down when he came up, an honor that only close ministers such as Fang Xuanling had in the dynasty.
It's a pity that Qin Huaidao didn't have so much respect for superiors and subordinates, and he didn't have the awe of the imperial power. He believed that people should respect me once, and I should respect others as much as one foot.
Next, he asked bluntly: "Your Majesty, what's the matter? Please tell me clearly!"
"He has a resolute and resolute temperament. He is a bit like your father. But do you still remember the reward outside the city?"
"Has anyone reported it?" Qin Huaidao asked in surprise.
"Someone told the shopkeeper of Jufulou that he couldn't find you, so he informed Duke Lu of the news. Duke Lu then transferred it to me and said that the person who reported the report did not know the deceased outside the city, but he saw someone assassinating the driver when he went to collect firewood outside the city.
I asked Duke Lu to secretly investigate the person who transported the coal and soil. The perpetrator is a brother of the Boling Cui family. He has been entrenched in water transportation in the East City for many years. He has hundreds of thugs under his command. I asked Duke Lu to keep it until you can deal with it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Huai said thank you, but doubts arose in his heart. It was not surprising that it was Cui, but in this case, why did King Wei suddenly reach out?
The King of Wei was involved too much, so he couldn't talk nonsense until he understood it clearly. Qin Huaidao asked: "Your Majesty, do you have any information about this person? If you take action, do you need to avoid the Cui family?"
