Seeing Li Shimin staring at him, Meng Xinghe broke out in a cold sweat. He was not an encyclopedia. He knew everything. Whether Goryeo was conquered or not had nothing to do with him. Anyway, he didn't have to go to the front line to fight. Even if the place was overthrown, it didn't matter to him. It's just that Li Shimin's strange gaze fell on him at this moment. Meng Xinghe felt really uncomfortable. But he couldn't think of a feasible solution in his head. The two adults have said what should be said. If he wanted to add something. I'm afraid they are just flattering words about a successful start and a triumphant return as soon as possible.
I really can't stand Meng Xinghe's lazy personality. If he hadn't seen him as useful, Li Shimin would have exiled him to the northwest or southern Xinjiang long ago. Let him suffer a little bit before he can hone and grow. He wouldn't be in the state he is now. He holds an important position but doesn’t know what he means.
"Meng Xinghe. The two adults just expressed their opinions. I want to hear what you have to say. Please tell me." Seeing that Meng Xinghe and he had not yet reached a consensus, Li Shimin had no choice but to ask.
Being nominated by Li Shimin was not a good thing. Meng Xinghe walked out with a forced smile and said: "I and the two adults have the same idea. Korea can be conquered, but it must not cooperate with Japan. Tolerating adultery is to breed tigers. But the Holy Spirit can I once thought that if I, the Tang Dynasty, sent troops to conquer Goryeo alone, it would be unjust and unjust. I would be criticized if I sent troops rashly. On the contrary, Japan has the power to win over Goryeo. With Goryeo's military strength, it will definitely not be able to resist Japan for a long time. We will wait and see what happens when the Japanese invade the capital of Korea. When the Japanese troops arrive at the capital of Korea, the King of Korea will be anxious and will definitely seek help from the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the Holy Spirit can also use the excuse of sending troops to Korea to force the King of Korea to issue an edict. All the land of Goryeo will be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. At this moment, we, the Tang Dynasty, can raise troops to go into Goryeo under the banner of resisting foreign enemies and defending our country, and put an end to the chaos in Goryeo. At that time, all the land occupied by the Japanese in Goryeo will be taken back. In the face of national subjugation , or the species will be extinct. The King of Korea will definitely agree. Isn’t it the best strategy to subjugate the enemy without fighting? The only solution now is to encourage Japan to attack Korea as soon as possible. Then we will be halfway done."
Meng Xinghe didn't know where he learned so many weird ideas. Anyway, it was impossible for him to cooperate with the Japanese. He thought that it would be a fight between two tigers, and the Tang Dynasty would benefit. When the time comes, not only can it invade Goryeo The country could even defeat Japan's military power. With this battle, Japan would not be able to recover for several years. During this period, the Tang Dynasty had already been deeply entrenched in Goryeo. As Lord Fang said, it could send its army eastward and regain Japan in one fell swoop. .Always maintain peace along the east coast for eternity.
His lengthy analysis was extremely detailed. Li Shimin burst out laughing after hearing this. When Yuan Tiangang performed divination for Li Shimin, he said that Meng Xinghe was the person related to the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. He solved the problem for himself again and again. Now, He also offered a plan to seize Goryeo. This person is really a rare talent. This minister deserves to be worthy of his name.
He had already imagined the day when the King of Korea issued an order to ask for help. Li Shimin directly called Meng Xinghe to him: "Since you came up with such a clever plan, how to prompt Japan to raise troops to attack Korea? I will entrust him with full authority on you. By the way, since the Japanese people are willing to offer Japanese treasures, you can accept them all regardless of whether you want them or not. I think receiving gifts should be your specialty, Meng Xinghe."
Li Shimin's words made him speechless. His feelings were corrupted this time.
"Your Majesty, nothing happened. I'm going back first."
"Wait. You wait first." Li Shimin stopped Meng Xinghe directly. Then he said to the other three people: "You all go down. I have something to say to Meng Aiqing alone."
Everyone retreated. Meng Xinghe stood in front of Li Shimin at a loss. Damn, he shouted so kindly. He must have asked me for something. He glanced sideways at Li Shimin's sinister old face, and wondered in his heart whether Old Man Li had something else. You have to take care of things yourself.
Li Shimin and he stood opposite each other. Neither of them spoke. This atmosphere made Meng Xinghe feel that he was very close to Li Shimin. It was definitely a test of his heart's endurance. Facing this Emperor Taizong, who was of medium build and did not have many outstanding features, he became more and more excited. Without saying a word, it proves that a huge storm is brewing and is ready to break out at any time.
Sure enough, after receiving a unique tranquility, Li Shimin took his steady steps and sat back on the dragon throne. Looking at Meng Xinghe below, he said with a condescending attitude of looking down on the common people, almost sneering: "Before, I felt that I might have wronged my most precious daughter by marrying you. Now I have changed my mind. If I can really win over Goryeo this time, I will immediately issue an order for you to marry the princess."
"What." Meng Xinghe took a few steps back: "Your Majesty, you have secured a match for me and Miss Du. Now you ask me to marry a princess. Doesn't that mean that I have to live up to Miss Du's kindness? And you also know it. After marrying the princess, I can no longer take wives and concubines. Isn’t this clearly pushing me into the fire pit? However, if you always allow me to continue to marry other women after marrying the princess, then I have no objection. ."
In the last few sentences, Meng Xinghe returned to his playful and smiling face. As a result, Li Shimin killed him with one sentence: "I want the princess and those folk women to serve the same husband. I have never set such a precedent since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Don't even think so. As for those women who have a close relationship with you, when you marry the princess, I will make good arrangements for their whereabouts for you. From now on, you will treat my precious daughter wholeheartedly. I will never treat you badly. I am a high-ranking official and well-paid. Whatever you want, I will give it to you one by one."
Bewitched by Li Shimin's power and money, Meng Xinghe remained unmoved. There was no such thing as glory and wealth. He just learned from Mr. Chai a few days ago that his whitewashed sales in Jiangdu had already earned him enough money to last him several lifetimes. .And he is now serving as the minister. Apart from being the king, he is the biggest official. What else can tempt him, Meng Xinghe. Of course, women, especially beauties, Meng Xinghe will fall into the land of gentleness if he is not careful. Who told him to be more affectionate by nature?
Looking at his expression, Li Shimin knew that Meng Xinghe would never go as he wished. He almost wanted to smash the dragon case in front of him with one palm to punish Meng Xinghe for his crime of disrespect. But he thought of his eldest grandson and her mother. The queen's little daughter, who had exactly the same heart and appearance, had long warned not to give orders to Meng Xinghe on her own. With Li Shimin's character, Meng Xinghe refused three times. I was afraid that even if he didn't chop off his head, he would suffer. Li Shimin decided to do it. I don’t understand why such a smart person like Meng Xinghe doesn’t know that Xiao Sizi is a princess and even has fun with her. Could it be that this person is a geek who is confused in trivial matters but smart in big things.
Regardless of whether he was a geek or a fool, Li Shimin was filled with grief and anger. He thought about how noble and obedient the little Sizi he had always been by his side was. But now he has changed because of this. He doesn’t even come to Liangyi Palace very often. He is there all day long. What kind of arithmetic and science are practiced in Ganquan Palace? Xiao Sizi is not the only one who is so obsessed with it. Even his niece Xijia is the same as Xiao Sizi. She stays in Chai Mansion all day without leaving the house, and she does not even go to the palace often. Come on, these two women are lovesick for Meng Xinghe. Although Li Shimin sees it, he doesn't know what to do.
Do they want the two of them to follow the example of Empress E and marry the man in front of them? Li Shimin will definitely not be so easy on Meng Xinghe. With such a nerve-wracking problem, Li Shimin, even with his talents and strategies, cannot solve the problem of long-term love between his children. .Just now he asked Meng Xinghe to marry Xiao Sizi, which was a last resort. Now he felt that doing so might break Xi Jia's heart. Such a troublesome decision was really a dilemma.
"Please step back. I don't want to see you." Li Shimin covered his wrinkled forehead with his hand. He leaned against the dragon table and meditated. With his other hand free, he was already calling Meng Xinghe to step back.
Meng Xinghe wanted to leave a long time ago. He said "Wei Chen, please leave" and quickly left the Liangyi Palace.
He went out in a hurry. He didn't even have time to look at the road in front of him. As soon as he left the gate of Liangyi Palace, he bumped into two soft objects. He looked up in a hurry and saw that it was the feeding party at Shanglin Garden that day. Empress Xiao is a fish. Fortunately, Empress Xiao does not have the eunuch Gong E around her at the moment. Otherwise, Meng Xinghe would have just eaten the tofu of the empress. If those unscrupulous little characters made a fuss about it, Li Shimin was inside. He heard that he had no intention of molesting his beloved. The concubine chopped off Meng Xinghe's head without getting angry.
Meng Xinghe reacted quickly. He immediately took a few steps back. As if nothing happened, he said calmly: "Why do you have time to come to Liangyi Hall to see the Holy Master today?"
Empress Xiao didn't dare to bet her innocence on Meng Xinghe's head. Even if she knew that she had been in close contact with him just now and had been eaten by Meng Xinghe, she still had to treat it as nothing happened. She smiled faintly, and there was a hint of desire to say something on that charming little face. Still blushing with embarrassment, she pushed up her long skirt and passed by Meng Xinghe. She walked into the Liangyi Hall without saying a word to him.
That's a good thing. Meng Xinghe saved a lot of time to organize the explanation.
He came out of the palace, followed the Chang'an neighborhood, and headed west to return home. The carriage passed through the East City section. I wonder if the wheels came apart. The whole carriage shook. Meng Xinghe, who was sitting inside, seemed to be taking off. He asked hurriedly What happened to the driver driving the carriage outside? Does it need to come down to repair the carriage?
The carriage did not dare to hide anything and said: "My lord, someone was trying to fight for the road here. He accidentally hit the rear wheel of our carriage and knocked it down."
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Xinghe lifted up the curtain and prepared to take a look. The bumps just now were enough for him. He originally just stretched out his head to watch out of curiosity, but he saw a somewhat funny scene. It turned out that there was trouble here. Cars and horses. It passed frequently. The tremor just now was caused by a carriage fighting for the road. Fortunately, his inconspicuous carriage entering and exiting the palace was as solid as a rock. Although it was involved, it was not knocked to the ground. .It’s simply gratifying.
Looking at the carriage that had rolled over on the ground, wondering if there were any casualties, Meng Xinghe immediately jumped out of the carriage. The coachman also hurried over and followed Meng Xinghe to find out.
Who knows. He and the coachman had just approached the knocked down carriage. Inside the messy carriage that had changed its shape, a handsome young man crawled out. The young man looked quite embarrassed with his messy hair. He must have been extremely frightened just now. That's why he looked like he was in a daze and had narrowly escaped death.
"This is your carriage." He waited for a long time. He stared at the non-luxurious carriage behind Meng Xinghe. He was knocked over by this carriage just now. Now that he saw the culprit, how could the young master endure it? His tone and eyes They are all aggressive. They seem to want to eat Meng Xinghe, the horse owner, alive in order to satisfy his hatred for making a fool of himself in such a troubled world.
Meng Xinghe was not frightened by his bad words. He said calmly: "Yes, it's mine. But the master who drove the horse just now said that this matter has nothing to do with us." He said this, waved to the coachman, and walked back to the carriage. Said: "You can go."
"You are such a bastard. Why don't you open your eyes and see who this young master is? My father is Yang Shidao, the current Zhongshu Ling. If you dare to offend this young master, you will definitely die a bad death." The young master blocked Meng Xinghe's path and stood in the middle of his carriage. He looked like a high-level dandy from Chang'an. He said, "Today, if you don't kneel down and kowtow three times to my young master, you won't be able to pass through here. "
Meng Xinghe thought that he was already a rogue enough. He didn't expect to meet a master today. He spread his hands and said helplessly to the coachman: "Just drive over to me. I will be responsible for running him over. I can Regardless of whether your father is in charge of the book order or the order of the order, in short, in front of me, he is nothing."
I am the minister. I am still afraid of your father. Meng Xinghe waved his sleeves and said, "Let's go." The coachman did not dare to disobey. He drove the carriage skillfully. Regardless of the fact that there was a dandy in front of him blocking the road, he rushed over. And the man who claimed to be his father was The young master of Zhongshu Ling saw that the carriage was really running towards him. He still had the courage to intercept it. He very spinelessly stepped aside. Looking at the carriage running past him, the young master almost felt so humiliated. It was really hard to believe. Accept it. Meng Xinghe slapped him on the face in public. He even slapped his own father on the face. He would hold a grudge. He said: "If you have the guts, just report it. One day, I will definitely ask you to get out of my crotch." Only by drilling through can you relieve your hatred."
"Haha." Meng Xinghe laughed loudly and said from a distance: "If you want to know my name, go home and ask your mother."
