Li Tai himself did not realize that he was stepping into the trap set by the aristocratic family. Instead, he felt complacent that he had found a good helper and felt deeply convinced Zheng Qiulin's proposal. He lowered his head and thought for a moment and asked again: "Brother Zheng is very good, but I don't know what the benefits Brother Zheng said are?"

Zheng Qiulin is also a scholar. How can he know what the interests of the country are?

So I had to talk about the complaints I usually heard from my elders: "Xue Yantuo opened up free trade and allowed the merchants of the Tang Dynasty to do business freely. This is the second one. The total tribute of cattle and horses is 100,000 per year; the other is to continue to lower the prices of wool and goat milk."

I believe everyone still remembers that a few years ago, Li Chengqian once proposed to establish a border trade zone on the border, and many families also "worked unremittingly" for it, but in the end it was discovered that this was just a trap. After jumping in, I realized that there was no money to make in it, and the real money-making things were always in the hands of Li Chengqian, which made the major families a little angry.

Later, the Turks became history almost overnight, and this kind of border trade naturally disappeared in name only, and the aristocratic families even lost their last hope.

The feeling that the fooled family could only watch the nobles make a fortune from wool products and goat milk, but they were isolated from this circle.

So when Zheng Qiulin felt the opportunity, he naturally thought of the "complaints" he heard at the beginning. Based on the principle of killing the wrong person and not letting go, he casually mentioned it, preparing that if Li Tai succeeded, the Zheng family could also take this opportunity to get a share of the pie.

As for Li Tai, this guy was originally a person who was stupid in his studies. Not only did he say that his emotional intelligence was getting less and less, but his enthusiasm for scholars was getting stronger and stronger. He had never shamed to mention things like interests. Although he was forced to be "shamed" by the situation, he didn't like it very much. He always felt that this would taint his ears.

Therefore, after listening to Zheng Qiulin's proposal, he said without thinking: "When I talked with Xue Yantuo for a while, would Mr. Zheng accompany me?"

"I really want to ask for it!" Zheng Qiulin replied with a smile.

"Yes!" Li Tai nodded happily, as if he had solved a heart disease.

But soon he thought about the fact that he was about to be kicked out of the Wude Hall, and began to worry again, always feeling that the Zheng surnamed was a bit unreliable.

After all, he also said that the last time he came to the door, Xue Yantuo's affairs should have been delayed like this, but now it is time to delay. If he delays again, it is very likely that his status will be lost (he scares himself), so how can he not be anxious?

However, before he could express his concerns, he heard Mr. Zheng say again: "Your Highness, when the young master came, he heard something. It seemed that His Majesty had accepted Miss Yanran from the royal family as his adopted daughter. In the morning court today, he even gave a marriage to a Tubo barbarian."

"What?! Is this happening?" Li Tai was stunned after hearing this, feeling that things seemed to be out of control.

Because when he was thinking about marrying Xue Yantuo, he was going to let Li Yanran go, because there was no longer a woman of the right age in the royal family.

But now that Li Yanran was actually given a marriage, wouldn’t this mean that he had cut off his retreat?

"Does Your Highness even know?" Zheng Qiulin had already seen the clues from Li Tai's performance, but Di still asked.

"What should I do? Without that Li Yanran, who will let him marry?" Li Tai was in a silence and couldn't extricate himself from the mistakes, shook his head in annoyance.

I had known that this would have been the morning court this year. If I had gone there, I would not have let such a thing happen. A Tubo barbarian ruined his good deeds, which was unexpected.

"Ah! Did Your Highness plan to let Miss Yanran marry?" Following Li Tai's murmuring, Zheng Qiulin pretended to be surprised and said, "But Miss Yanran has been given a marriage by His Majesty, so it is even more difficult to save it!"

"I know!" Li Tai, who was upset, glared at Zheng Qiulin with anger. It was this time that the fat man Li Si found that the face of Zheng seemed to be smiling.

At the beginning, Li Tai thought that the surname Zheng was laughing at him, but he was about to have an attack but heard the surname Zheng speak: "Your Highness's annoyance is for no reason. Don't you know that Your Majesty has an adopted daughter? This girl is the best candidate for this marriage."

"Hmm?" Li Tai nodded in confusion, thinking about all the old man's daughters and his sisters in his mind, and found that there seemed to be nothing missing. He couldn't help but ask in wonder: "Who are you talking about?"

Zheng Qiulin looked around mysteriously, lowered his voice and said almost word by word: "Princess Xinyang, Wu Mei!"

In an instant, Li Tai's face changed. Even if he was stunned, he knew that Wu Mei was not an ordinary person, but Li Chengqian brought it back from outside in person.

It can even be said that Wu Mei is Li Chengqian's ban on corruption and marry her out. Isn't this causing trouble for herself?

Thinking of this, Li Tai's face turned gloomy and his voice was cold, "Brother Zheng, do you want to harm me?"

"Your Highness has said it." Zheng Qiulin shook his head: "As far as the young master knows, Wu Mei has never appeared again since she returned to the Wu family. I guess King Hengshan always took her with her back then, so he should have wanted to be fresh for a while, but now he is probably tired of it."

Is this really the case? If Li Chengqian was present, he would probably be able to slap Zheng Qiulin to death.

The reason why he never brought Xiaowu out was because he wanted to hide her and didn't want her to come into contact with too many things, so as not to be difficult for this girl to control in the future. Now when he comes to the boy named Zheng, he has become tired of playing. He is really a villain's heart to judge a gentleman, but he is really a gentleman.

However, this is just a thought that Li Chengqian cannot be told to others, and Li Tai is not aware of it. Therefore, under Zheng Qiulin's analysis, Li Si's fat man felt that the eldest brother should no longer like the little girl and planned to let the little girl fend for herself.

As the saying goes, one step is wrong, every step is wrong. Li Tai, who did not realize the sinister intentions of the aristocratic family, only felt that he suddenly realized that all the problems were no longer a problem. He discussed with Zheng Qiulin and agreed to report this to the old man when he went to court tomorrow.

...

In the afternoon, Zheng Qiulin, who had left Kongguan Temple, proudly got on the carriage and planned to find a place to drink wine.

Most of the tasks assigned by the old men have been completed, as long as that guy Li Tai reports the matter to the court tomorrow...

"Haha..." Thinking that Li Tai asked Li Er to marry Xiaowu and would completely break up with Li Chengqian, then the Li brothers turned against each other and fought to the death, Zheng Qiulin gave him thirty-two praises.

Li Chengqian's external claim is to be disagreement, and he even never compromised in the face of the threat of war.

Xiao Wu was brought back to Chang'an from Henan in the second year of Zhenguan. He lived in the palace for several years. How could the relationship between the two be as simple as playing? Even if they were not brothers and sisters, the bond would probably not be much worse.

Just in these two points, if Li Tai requests a marriage kinship, he will immediately be retaliated by Li Chengqian. As for whether he will succeed in marriage in the end, this is no longer important.

As long as the Li brothers turn against each other, the purpose of the aristocratic family has been achieved, and what will happen in the future is no longer important to the aristocratic family.

Thinking of the irreconcilable scene between Li Chengqian and Li Tai, Mr. Zheng was in a very comfortable mood. He sat in the carriage and let out a smug laugh from time to time, and the folding fan swayed, as if he regarded himself as a person like Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms.

However, Mr. Zheng, who was overjoyed, forgot that there is another idiom in this world called "Extreme joy leads to sorrow", and there is also an adjective called "Extreme things will turn against each other."

Just when he felt that he had reached the peak of his life, the carriage he was riding in suddenly shook and suddenly stopped amid the huge impact.

In the fierce neighing of the horse, "Oh!" "Bang..." "Ao..." A series of strange sounds, the young master of the Zheng family, who was extremely sad, opened the curtain of the carriage with a big bag on his head. He didn't even look at the situation outside and shouted: "Bastard, how did you drive the car? I want it..."

"My surname is Zheng, who are you scolding?" Before Zheng Qiulin could finish his words, another voice interrupted him.

Hum? As the eldest son of the Zheng family, Zheng Qiulin didn't remember anyone in Chang'an City who dared to scold him like this. He looked in anger at the direction of the voice: "I'm just cursing..." Mr. Zheng, who covered his head, suddenly stopped talking halfway, and his face turned extremely ugly.

"Tell me, who are you scolding me?" Another arrogant voice did not let him go because Zheng Qiulin shut up, and continued to push forward step by step.

However, Zheng Qiulin no longer had the anger he had just said. After cursing in his heart, he first bowed his hand, then bit his back teeth and said, "Your Highness King Qi, it seems that your carriage has hit Xiaosheng's carriage!"

"You are pretending to be confused, right? I asked you who you were just scolding."

On the spacious street, Li You's carriage and Zheng Qiulin's carriage were entangled. According to modern traffic laws, this is what he was going against the road or deliberately "drawing dragons" on the road, which caused both sides to collide.

But this guy didn't tell Zheng Qiulin who was hitting anyone, he just bit Mr. Zheng and scolded him, as if he had suffered so much grievance.

As a playboy in Chang'an City, Zheng Qiulin knew that Li You was looking for trouble depending on the situation. If this kind of thing happened in a place where no one was around, he would be careful to accompany him and pretend to be a grandson and fool him.
