"Mu Aiqing, you have made great contributions, tell me, what reward do you want?
I won’t allow anything!”
At the celebration banquet, Li Shimin was so happy that he even temporarily forgot about the tragedy of the prince's assassination.
Compared with the death of several sons, being able to stop the plague is a great achievement.
Li Shimin could even imagine that a hundred years later, he would be recorded in the history books as a wise king and holy lord!
After all, being able to stop a great plague saved countless lives and was a great blessing!
Therefore, Li Shimin was quite generous when facing Muchuan, a great hero.
The ministers also looked at Muchuan one after another. Some of them were happy for Muchuan, and they were Muchuan's friends; some were gnashing their teeth, and they were Muchuan's enemies.
Among them, Changsun Wuji was the most angry.
He knew very well that Muchuan had obtained a gold medal for immunity from death by making such great contributions to the world. In a short period of time, no matter what tricks he used, Li Shimin would not be able to kill Muchuan.
The scale of this celebration banquet was very large, and many concubines from the harem were also present, including Queen Changsun and Concubine Yang. Naturally, they were indispensable.
Concubine Yang's beautiful eyes turned to Muchuan, her eyes full of charm and ambiguity.
Muchuan was not nervous about being stared at by so many pairs of eyes.
He has experienced bigger scenes, what does this mean?
Muchuan bowed to Li Shimin and said sternly: "This is what the humble minister should do. If it weren't for your Majesty's leadership, the humble minister would be just a headless fly without a way to do anything. Therefore, the first contribution this time should belong to your Majesty."
"It is indeed the great fortune of the Tang Dynasty to have a wise king and holy master like Your Majesty in the Tang Dynasty, and the luck of the people in the world!"
What a level Muchuan is, even if he is trying to flatter him, he is still the best in the world.
Li Shimin was elated when he heard this, and he was even more happy.
"Hahaha, what a great Muchuan, your little mouth looks like it's been covered with honey! The reward must be a big one!"
Hearing this, Muchuan got a black line.
The little mouth is covered with honey, this is not a compliment.
Of course, the meaning changed only in later generations. Now, it should still be a compliment.
Muchuan knew that it was almost time, so he no longer shied away and expressed his wish.
"Thank you for your majesty's great love. In this case, I am no longer polite to you."
"I have nothing to ask for, but I have been in love with Princess Changle for a long time. I hope that Your Majesty will betroth Princess Changle to me!"
As soon as these words came out, the originally cheerful atmosphere froze.
Empress Changsun looked at Muchuan with a displeased expression, and even Li Shimin looked difficult to deal with.
He didn't mind marrying his daughter to Muchuan. In this way, Muchuan would become his own family, and he would be able to use Muchuan to a greater extent in the future.
However, Empress Changsun was extremely disgusted with Muchuan, and Li Shimin knew this very well.
Furthermore, Li Shimin had previously betrothed Princess Wencheng to Muchuan. Although the marriage has not been officially settled yet, it is still a certainty.
However, if he refused on the spot, Li Shimin was afraid of chilling the hearts of all the ministers.
After all, Muchuan has made such a huge contribution. If he cannot meet even this small request, I am afraid that no one will work hard for Li Tang in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin pondered for a moment, but then he said: "I really want to marry Changle to Mu Aiqing, but marriage is not a trivial matter. I will discuss it with the queen afterwards and I will definitely give Mu Aiqing an explanation.
"
Hearing this, Muchuan's heart couldn't help but sink.
He knew very well that if he asked the queen about this matter, he would definitely get it wrong.
However, before Muchuan could express his stance, one person spoke first.
Changsun Wuji suddenly stood up and bowed to Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Li Shimin nodded and motioned for Changsun Wuji to continue speaking.
Changsun Wuji glanced at Muchuan, then withdrew his gaze and said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Princess Changle has already made a marriage agreement with the King of Tubo. Even the palace in Tubo has almost been built. If Princess Changle is
If you marry Lord Mu, I'm afraid it will damage the friendship between the two countries, so I hope your Majesty will think twice!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and many ministers stood up and agreed.
Faced with this situation, even though Li Shimin was the emperor, he couldn't say anything more and could only reject Muchuan's request on the spot.
Regarding this, Muchuan gritted his teeth with hatred, wishing he could give this old boy Changsun Wuji a knife on the spot.
Although Li Shimin was hesitant before, there is still room for change. As long as he handles the matter of Guangming Church, Li Shimin will definitely promise Li Lizhi to him no matter what.
But now it's better. After Changsun Wuji interfered with it, Muchuan didn't even have the slightest chance.
Muchuan couldn't help but cut Changsun Wuji in half, but he saw Changsun Wuji looking at him with a sneer.
Old fox, I will reunite your father and son sooner or later!
Changsun Wuji's only son, Changsun Chong, had already gone to the sea to feed the fish. Muchuan wanted to reunite father and son, so he naturally had murderous intentions.
At this point, Muchuan even seriously considered whether to cooperate with Concubine Yang.
If we could get rid of the eldest grandson's lineage, even if it would make Li Lizhi sad, she would not marry far away in Tubo.
"Mu Aiqing, aside from this matter, if you make another request, I will grant it to you!"
Li Shimin coughed dryly and said.
Muchuan smiled and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, I have a heavy responsibility. Why don't you just wait until the case is investigated and your Majesty will discuss the merits and reward you?"
"That's okay, it's up to you."
Li Shimin quickly agreed.
Now the situation is a little embarrassing, and Li Shimin eagerly hopes that this matter can come to an end.
Afterwards, Muchuan kept drinking wine during the banquet.
He knew very well that if he could not think of a way, Li Lizhi would soon go to Tubo.
Muchuan's depressed look while drinking was clearly visible to Concubine Yang.
She called her personal maid and whispered a few words.
When the banquet was over and Muchuan was leaving, he suddenly bumped into a palace maid.
Muchuan had such a good physique that he could not move at all, but this palace maid was completely knocked out.
Muchuan was already depressed. He was hit like this. Although he did not suffer any substantial damage, he was still quite unhappy.
"Don't you have eyes?"
Muchuan said angrily.
Furious, Muchuan, adhering to his usual gentlemanly style, still reached out to pull the palace maid.
When the palace maid was pulled up, she suddenly leaned into Muchuan's ear and whispered a few words.
Muchuan, who was originally unhappy, suddenly became surprised.
"really?"
"Absolutely true."
After the palace maid finished ordering, she stopped talking and left immediately.
After all, there are many people here, and if someone is paying attention, there may be some problems.
Muchuan was sorting through the information he had just obtained, feeling extremely tangled in his heart.
