Chapter 249
Jiang Xia Wang Li Daozong sat on the couch, looking at the eldest daughter kneeling in front of him and weeping, Fang Zheng's dark face was expressionless, but his heart hurt like a needle.
Different from the world's preference of sons over daughters, Li Daozong has always disciplined his two sons strictly and must not cause trouble outside. Once he makes a mistake, he will be severely punished.However, he regards his two daughters as the jewel in his palm, and everyone loves and spoils them, and treats them as treasures.
Seeing that the eldest daughter Xueyan has just reached the age of Ji, and she is already slim and beautiful, with a beautiful face and beautiful appearance, Li Daozong naturally loves her more and more. She usually speaks softly and is not willing to say a serious word.The matchmaker begging for marriage almost broke through the threshold of the Jiangxia Prince's Mansion, but Li Daozong declined them one by one. He had to think carefully about finding a steady and stable husband-in-law for his daughter.
How could Li Daozong not feel sorry for his daughter who is usually gentle and knowledgeable?
However, Li Daozong could only look at it like this, without saying a word.
He didn't dare to make even a false promise to his daughter!
"Father, please go and intercede with His Majesty, okay? My daughter doesn't want to marry in Tuyuhun, let alone Tubo! My daughter will become a monk immediately, and she will never marry in this life, so she will be filial at her father's knee, okay? "
Li Xueyan's eyes were filled with tears, like broken pearls sliding across her clear and fair cheeks, crying heartbreakingly, mournfully...
The corner of Li Daozong's mouth twitched, his heart was cut like a knife, but he remained silent.
Can he ask His Majesty Li Er?can!Not to mention begging, even if he was asked to die for his daughter, he would never frown.
But the question is, is it useful to ask for it?
Ever since it was rumored that His Majesty planned to agree to the marriage proposal of Tuguhun and Tubo, Li Daozong felt bad.There is no marriageable princess in His Majesty's family. According to the old practice, he will find an unmarried woman of the right age in the clan, give the title of princess, marry and get married.
Who would want their pampered daughter married to the desert outside the Great Wall to blow the north wind and eat sand?
Therefore, if there are unmarried girls of the right age in the family, they will ask the matchmaker to find someone else in a hurry. Even if they can't get married immediately, they have to make a marriage quickly to create an established fact.No matter how overbearing your majesty is, he can't let us resign the marriage and get married, right?
In Chang'an City, there was a wave of marriage marriage, every day there were marriage team beating gongs and drums to parade in the street...
But other people can do this, but Li Daozong can't!
A few days ago, His Majesty summoned him into the palace and reprimanded him, talking about the fact that he was impeached by Yushitai for corruption back then, and thus he was dismissed from office and eliminated the fiefdom.Li Daozong didn't understand at the time, it's been several years, and he's been punished, so you turned it up and said, is that interesting?
When he was about to leave, His Majesty asked seemingly unintentionally: "You Xueyan, are you old enough?" Li Daozong thought that His Majesty was planning to marry his own daughter, and he was quite happy, which proves that His Majesty did not because of this. Alienate yourself from the matter of corruption.
But immediately, it was reported in the palace that His Majesty wanted to agree to Tuyuhun and Tubo's marriage proposal.
Only then did Li Daozong suddenly realize that he was going to marry off his daughter!
If Fang Jun hadn't made such a fuss, Li Daozong believed that the edict to confer Xueyan as a princess would have been issued long ago!
Who can change His Majesty Li Er's decision?Even though the matter of Fang Jun's remonstrance caused a lot of uproar, Li Daozong did not believe that His Majesty Li Er would listen to the remonstrance and give up the plan of getting married.Li Daozong himself was one of the most famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, so he couldn't fail to see that His Majesty Li Er was holding on to Tuguhun and Tubo, but he was aiming at Goguryeo's plan!
Compared with His Majesty Li Er's ambition, everything has to give way, and no one can stop it!
But looking at his own daughter... He really hurts!
If possible, he would like to marry a barbarian instead of his daughter...
Li Xueyan naturally understood his father's difficulties, cried for a while, and vented, knowing that this matter was probably irreversible, so she wiped away her tears, showed a sad smile, and said with sobs: "My daughter is not self-willed, but she really doesn't want to. Stay away from the father, and please don't worry about the daughter, the daughter will obediently marry the barbarians and take on the important task of marriage!"
Li Daozong looked at his well-behaved and charming daughter, his heart seemed to be pulled by something, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe!
My Li Daozong is a man of seven feet, it is useless to charge into the battle and kill the enemy. Could it be that he can't even protect his daughter?
If you want to marry my daughter off, unless... let me die!
Li Daozong suddenly got up, showed a kind smile to Li Xueyan, and said softly: "Don't worry, my son, I will enter the palace as my father. If His Majesty insists on choosing you as a marriage mate, let him take the head of a certain person first!"
After saying that, he shook his brocade robe, strode out of the door, and shouted: "Come on, prepare your horse!"
Fuchu Buqu immediately became busy.
When Li Daozong arrived at the Taiji Palace, His Majesty Li Er was discussing matters with several ministers in the Taiji Palace. Hearing that Jiangxia King Li Daozong asked to see him, His Majesty Li Er frowned slightly, and still announced him into the palace.
Li Daozong strode into the hall, seeing all the ministers present, he was slightly startled, but without hesitation, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "My minister Li Daozong, I implore your majesty to send someone to Songzhou. I would rather die in Songzhou than die in Songzhou." With one breath, the Tubo barbarians will not be allowed to step into our Great Tang!"
The hall was silent.
His Majesty Li Er said softly: "Why did my brother say that? I have already made arrangements for Songzhou. You can recuperate in the mansion..."
This "my brother" warmed Li Daozong's heart. In the past, when he followed His Majesty and charged into battle, His Majesty often called him this to show his closeness.Li Daozong understood that His Majesty called out the title that he hadn't used for many years to make him obedient. Although he was punished for being corrupt for a while, he would not suffer in the end.
But Li Daozong still stubbornly stamped his head on the ground, and said loudly: "My lord, I beg you!"
For the sake of his daughter, he also went all out!
If it was in the past, he would never have dared to confront His Majesty Li Er like this, but now the situation has changed, Fang Jun has made such a disturbance, whether it is in the court or in the public opinion, the public opinion has already begun to refuse to lean toward the marriage.
Look in front of you again, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Li Ji, Ma Zhou... so many important ministers are here, maybe they are also discussing marriage matters?
Sure enough, His Majesty has not yet made up his final decision, and there is still a chance for this matter!
His Majesty Li Er was angry, but he couldn't do anything about Li Daozong.It is the limit to remove him from office because of corruption, what else can he do?The two are brothers of the same clan. When Li Daozong was in his teens, he fought behind him. He defeated Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, and the Eastern Turks.
What's even more rare is that this cousin has an extremely firm stand and is loyal to Li Er from the beginning to the end!
His Majesty Li Er held back his anger, and said calmly: "Stay aside, I will talk about it later."
Li Daozong knew that the opportunity was fleeting, even if he gave up his head, he had to force His Majesty Li Er to agree to him, otherwise once the ministers agreed, there would be no way to return to heaven...
Once again, he stamped his head on the ground and said, "My lord..."
Seeing the blue veins on His Majesty Li Er's forehead popping out, Fang Xuanling said hastily: "King Jiang Xia is safe, don't be impatient, and sit down to discuss state affairs."
Li Ji also laughed and said, "Come and sit here."
"This..." Li Daozong hesitated for a moment, he was not a fool, he wanted to try his best to anger His Majesty, but he had to dispel his idea of marrying his daughter, but seeing Fang Xuanling's protection and Li Ji's change, He also knew that something was wrong, so he quickly looked at His Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er snorted and ignored him.
Li Daozong heaved a sigh of relief, got up quickly and went to Li Ji's side, not forgetting to send Fang Xuanling a grateful look...
His Majesty Li Er has nothing to do with Li Daozong's uninvited visit.
Although Li Daozong's status is not enough, he is also a member of the royal family, and he is extremely loyal, so it doesn't hurt to listen.
But I heard Li Ji say: "With the current military strength and military food reserves, it is not a big problem to maintain the status quo of the border between Tuguhun and Tubo. Moreover, as long as the conquest of Gaochang goes smoothly, it will definitely cause damage to all the Hulu. Shocking, the Hulu must not dare to move. It's just..."
Speaking of this, he glanced at His Majesty Li Er, and continued softly: "The matter of the Eastern Expedition has to be put on hold for the time being, and there will be no three to five years when the weather will be good and the grain will be harvested, so it cannot be put on the agenda."
All in all, there are insufficient troops, insufficient food and grass, and it is impossible to gather large-scale corps on the east and west fronts at the same time.
His Majesty Li Er let out a sigh of relief, and said in a muffled voice, "Eastern Expedition... put it on hold for now!"
Just when the officials were all relieved, His Majesty Li Er remembered the guy who pushed him into a corner, gritted his teeth and asked, "Did Fang Jun go to the Military Weapons Supervision to report?"
