Wei Zheng secretly glanced at Li Shimin, and sure enough, his face was like pig liver, alternating between green and red!
Now, Li Shimin felt as if he had eaten a dead child, and his chest began to rise and fall slightly.
"puff!"
Seeing His Majesty Li Er deflated, Empress Changsun who had never made a sound beside her could not help but cover her mouth and chuckle!
For some reason, she found it very interesting when she saw His Majesty Li Er wanting to be angry but trying his best to control it!
"Su Xiaoyou, why are you always so dissatisfied with the current Saint?"
His Majesty Li Er suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, the people have been healthy and the officials have been diligent."
"To the outside world, fight against the enemy!"
"Domestically, help people live and work in peace and contentment!"
"Everyone in the Tang Dynasty has great respect for the Holy One!"
"But why do you seem so miserable when you are here?!"
Facing Lao Li's soul torture, Su Chen was particularly surprised!
I really didn't realize that this old Li was actually a stupid fan, and he actually defended Li Er like this!
As early as the last time, His Majesty Li Er had asked him what kind of person he thought the current emperor Li Shimin was.
To this day, His Majesty Li Er still clearly remembers what Su Chen said.
He said that although Li Shimin was not a good person, he was a good emperor!
At that time, His Majesty Li Er was very confused.
Since he is said to be a good emperor, why not become an official in the court and assist a good emperor?!
When he thought of this, His Majesty Li Er became more and more depressed, and continued: "Could it be that the current Holy Emperor has some misconduct that makes you feel that he is not a sage and worthy of your help?!"
It is no exaggeration to say that since His Majesty Li Er came to the throne, who among the civil servants and generals in the court would not say that he is open-minded and generous?!
Especially the one next to him, Wei Zheng, was a member of Prince Li Jiancheng's lineage back then, and had once attempted to murder him. However, His Majesty Li Er did not hold any grudge against him because of this. Instead, he appreciated his talent and took him into his own hands.
Moreover, even though Wei Zheng liked to contradict him, he never got angry and instead often listened to his opinions!
Let me ask, among all the emperors in the past, who could achieve this?
Li Shimin has always had a clear conscience for Datang!
"Old Li, to be fair, the current sage is indeed a sage and wise king who is rare to see in a hundred years!"
"The current Holy Lord's broad-mindedness really makes me admire him!"
Su Chen took a sip of wine, looked around carefully, and then said to Li Er: "I want to tell you something. You have to promise me that this matter will never be spread to anyone!"
"Otherwise, I'm just afraid that my job will be ruined!"
Hearing this, the corner of Wei Zheng's mouth couldn't help but twitch, and his eyes were speechless.
Co-author, are you also afraid of death?
Are you worried about external rumors?
The emperor himself is right in front of you!
Just watch it yourself, if you say something wrong, I will be executed by everyone!
"Okay!" Li Shimin nodded solemnly.
Seeing that Lao Li agreed, Su Chen said, "Do you know? Ever since we, the Tang Dynasty, defeated the Eastern Turks and captured Jieli Khan, do you know what heinous things he has done?"
"Logically speaking, the elimination of the Eastern Turks is a great event, but you know that Li Er actually wanted to marry the daughter of the clan, the head of Dingxiang County, to Ashina Sunisi's son, in order to stabilize the situation after the war.
The surrendered Eastern Turks!"
"Moreover, since he came to the throne, he has sent countless gold and silver treasures to the Turks every year in order to seek peace."
"But what's the result? Is there peace in the East Turks?!"
"No, they didn't! Instead, they did not abide by the covenant and invaded across the border every now and then!"
"I just wonder why they, a group of prisoners of war, can continue to enjoy glory and wealth after losing the war, and why they want to marry me, the noble daughter of the Tang Dynasty!"
"I'm just asking you, can you bear to watch the things he did?!"
"As a Tang Dynasty person, don't you feel aggrieved?!"
"What's the difference between this and selling a girl for glory?!"
The more Su Chen talked, the more angry he became, and he almost wanted to slam the table!
If we want to say that Li Shimin's biggest shortcoming in history is definitely not his act of killing his brother and imprisoning his father during the Xuanwumen Incident, but his attitude towards foreign countries!
The Tang Dynasty was the most prosperous era in Chinese history!
The foreign guests are in submission, and all nations are coming to court!
The land area has reached an unprecedented level of more than 13 million square kilometers!
Yes, the Tang Dynasty at this time was indeed the most powerful empire in the world!
But, what did Li Shimin do?
Marry a princess!
It was Li Shimin who pioneered the precedent of marrying a princess in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and exchanging marriage for peace!
Su Chen drank the wine in the cup, his eyes were full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said: "You have been beaten to the ground, and you still want to rape my daughter of the Tang Dynasty. I ask you, isn't this okay?
Is it embarrassing?!”
At the end of the sentence, Su Chen almost roared in a low voice!
This shows how much Su Chen hates Li Shimin marrying a noble daughter!
After he finished speaking, Li Shimin and Wei Zheng looked at each other, dumbfounded, like two bumpkins, dumbfounded!
No...no, what the hell is this?!
Li Shimin and Wei Zheng were in a mess on the spot!
You know, the discussion about out-marriage just took shape yesterday, and only a few people know about it.
It is impossible to spread it among the people!
How could Su Chen know about this!
So detailed!
Could it be that he is a god?!
"Come on, Lao Li, tell me, is there something wrong with such an emperor that I don't want to see him?!"
"Really, how can I be the emperor and be so aggrieved!"
"If it were me! Just beat all those barbarians until they surrendered, why would I stick my daughter outside!"
"With such an emperor, I can't wait to give him a few slaps in the face to make him sober up!"
The more Su Chen talked, the more energetic he became. He was unreasonable and criticized the emperor Li Shimin severely!
Listening to Su Chen's various abuses, His Majesty Li Er suppressed the shock and anger in his heart and reluctantly said: "No, Su Xiaoyou, you may have some misunderstanding about this matter!"
"If the Holy Emperor really does this today, he is completely forced to do so!"
"Now that the Tang Dynasty has just been established, national strength and people's livelihood are still in the construction stage."
"Marriage is the best way, otherwise the Tang Dynasty will fall apart due to internal and external troubles."
"Moreover, there are many precedents for marriage, so why don't you want to see the current Holy Emperor?"
Su Chen sneered at His Majesty Li Er's words and smiled disdainfully.
If he hadn't been a time traveler and knew China's five thousand years of history, he might have been convinced.
Yes, after the marriage of the Lord of Dingxiang County, he indeed brought a lot of benefits to the entire Tang Dynasty!
However, why did Li Shimin dare to adopt the policy of peace and marriage in Tubo and Goguryeo later?!
