"If you don't study hard on how to make money and usurp the position of the head of the family, why are you still studying the affairs of the court every day?"
"If you had put your mind on usurping the throne, I think you would have become the head of the family long ago!"
"Ahem..."
Hearing what Su Chen said, His Majesty Li Er almost choked to death on the mutton. He took a sip of tea to feel better.
Seeing him like this, Su Chen ignored him, greeted Si Zi and Princess Changle with a smile, and said, "Eat, little Si Zi must eat more meat, so that he can be healthy and not get sick."
"When we leave later, Brother Su asked Lao Xu to bring you some pears to take home and eat slowly."
"And you are beautiful, too. You are already so thin now, not much more. Too thin is not good-looking."
Xiao Sizi's mouth was full and he could only nod his head.
Princess Changle on the side blushed, her beautiful eyes were lowered, and she did not dare to look directly at Su Chen. She just whispered: "Okay, thank you for your concern, brother Su Chen."
"Isn't this the end of the conversation? I know you have a lot of good ideas, so I just want to hear what you have to say." His Majesty Li Er did not give up and continued to ask.
Neither Changsun Wuji nor Wei Zheng were here today, so he had no choice but to show up in person himself.
From now on when you come to Wannian County, you must bring a minister with you no matter what!
"Yes, I heard that the Tubo people are extremely fierce. If they attack the pass that day, we may not have a good life." Empress Changsun added fuel to the fire and helped Her Majesty Li Er find out what Su Chen was saying.
She knew His Majesty Li Er very well. If he couldn't get the answer from Su Chen today, he would definitely have trouble sleeping and eating when he goes back, and it would be difficult to get a good night's sleep.
After Empress Changsun finished speaking, His Majesty Li Er cast a grateful look at her. She was indeed his virtuous wife and good wife!
"Mrs. Li, don't worry. No matter how much war we fight in the Tang Dynasty, it will not affect our lives." Su Chen said with a smile.
In the Tang Dynasty during this period, although large and small wars continued, if you pay a little attention, you will find that most of these wars were fought on the borders of the Tang Dynasty, without any impact on the people in the country.
Regarding this point, Su Chen had to reluctantly express his admiration to Li Er!
Because of this, the wars in these years did not affect the agricultural production in Datang, and the people's property was not lost.
In this way, Datang could not only expand its territory, but also improve its national strength and economic development.
I have to say that His Majesty Li Er is still very smart in some aspects.
If things go on like this, Datang will only become more and more prosperous!
"Besides, Ye Fan can't protect himself now, so he still has time to start a war." Su Chen continued while eating vegetables.
"Unable to help themselves?"
His Majesty Li Er's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked: "Aren't they living a good life? So suddenly they can't protect themselves?"
Su Chen poured himself a glass of wine and said slowly: "It's very simple, because Tubo has a coup now!"
"With such a big problem, it's impossible for them to go to war. They might even send someone to make peace."
Su Chen said it very casually, but after His Majesty Li Er heard it, he felt like he was struck by lightning!
Because apart from the uncertainty about the coup, the marriage Su Chen mentioned seems really possible!
The Tibetan envoy is already on his way!
This time, without His Majesty Li Er asking questions, Su Chen went on to say, "Now the Tubo prince is still young, and the former regent's mother, Lu, has just died, so the regent was handed over to Prime Minister Wei Qili Xu Shangnian.
.”
"But this change of power was not smooth. Kili Xu Shangnian's prestige was not as good as Lu Di's, and many people expressed dissatisfaction."
"They are having a huge quarrel. How could they start a war with the Tang Dynasty at this juncture?"
"It would be nice if we didn't fight them!"
Su Chen had a smile on his face, but he didn't notice that His Majesty Li Er's hand under the table was already shaking uncontrollably!
His Majesty Li Er's breathing became a little rapid.
If everything goes like Su Chen, it will be a godsend!
Sensing the strangeness of His Majesty Li Er, Empress Changsun patted the back of his hand gently, signaling His Majesty Li Er to calm down, and then said: "How did you know? It seems that there is no similar news among the people, otherwise it would have spread throughout Chang'an.
Already."
Queen Changsun's question is not only what she wants to know, but also what His Majesty Li Er wants to know.
If it is true as Su Chen said, it would be really terrible!
Tubo is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, how could the news be transmitted so quickly!
"This is what my elders told me."
Su Chen took a sip of wine and said very naturally: "He likes to travel around the world on weekdays. When he came back last time, he had a chat with me."
"It was probably three years ago. At that time, Hui Lu's family had already exhausted all treatments, so it was probably almost done.
"Given the age of the Tubo prince, he will definitely need a regent to preside over government affairs, and Kili Xu Shangnian is the most likely.
"Of course, this is all my guess, but it's almost the same."
After hearing his words, His Majesty Li Er was a little frightened and asked hurriedly: "Where is your elder now?"
"have no idea."
Su Chen shrugged and said: "His old man is basically not in the Tang Dynasty. It is not unusual for him to appear on a certain island country now."
Su Chen had already thought of countermeasures for Lao Li's various problems. If anything was too outrageous, my elders would be blamed!
Sure enough, after Su Chen finished speaking, His Majesty Li Er had an expression of "I see."
He didn't think there was anything wrong with Su Chen's words. After all, there are still many hidden masters in the Tang Dynasty, such as the old immortal Sun Simiao, Guiguzi's disciple Yuan Tiangang, and the mysterious descendant of the Mohist family.
So he didn't have any doubts about the elders Su Chen mentioned.
As early as the last poem, His Majesty Li Er could appreciate the elegance of that elder. The person who can write such a majestic poem is definitely not an ordinary person.
Moreover, His Majesty Li Er is very confused right now and has no energy to think about this matter.
What he cares about most now is Tubo!
"That's really great. In this way, the people of the Tang Dynasty can live and work in peace and contentment."
Empress Changsun nodded first, and then sighed: "About the Tubo people, I heard my elders talk about them when I was very young. It can be said that they do all kinds of evil on the border."
"I just hope that now that they are in civil strife, the people on the border can live a peaceful life for a few more years."
On the side, His Majesty Li Er felt very uncomfortable after hearing these words.
He was the emperor of those people, but he failed to protect them.
Speaking of which, this is also my own incompetence.
