Chapter 41 painstaking efforts
Ashinayun's words suddenly came completely beyond the expectations of Li Shimin and Li Ke, but they saw Li Shimin a completely different path.
There are many ways to win over the hearts of the Turks, and it is more than just a way to marry. The same is true if Li Shimin accepted Ashinayun as his adopted daughter.
Now that the Turks have been destroyed, the Turkic tribes have entered the Tang Dynasty to claim their posts. The Turks and the Han people have no borders. If Li Shimin accepted Ashinayun as his adopted daughter, wouldn’t it be a telling Turks that in his eyes, Li Shimin, the Turks are like Han people, and they love them the same as the people of the Tang Dynasty?
As soon as Ashinayun's words came to his ears, Li Shimin was moved. While ordering Li Ke and Ashinayun to return home first, he also recruited the ministers of the eunuchs from the Central Government to discuss the matter and drafted an imperial edict.
When Li Ke was ordered by Li Shimin to establish himself in the Zheng Palace, he seemed to be still trapped in a dream.
Li Ke stood under the steps of the Lizheng Hall, looking at the colorful clouds in the sky from afar. The Lizheng Hall behind him looked magnificent with the light golden sunlight. He also had a very unreal feeling.
It is natural for Ashi Nayun to not want to marry Li Yuanchang. It would be fine if she had a bad temper and didn't want to marry herself, but why did she ask for the fate of recognizing Li Shimin as her adoptive father and becoming his sister?
Li Shimin ordered him to enter the palace, and originally wanted to make a marriage for him, but when he came out of the palace again, he had an extra sister.
"Why did you say that before your father just now?" After leaving the Lizheng Hall, Li Ke and Asunayun walked out of the palace together. Li Ke thought for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask Asunayun beside him.
Ashinayun replied: "Didn't I explain it to Your Majesty? I don't want to marry you, let alone marry Li Yuanchang."
"But you must know that I am different from Li Yuanchang. I am not that kind of person." Li Ke said anxiously when he heard this.
Asunayun naturally knew Li Ke's nature. If Li Ke was a lustful person, then he would have been exploited by Jie Li when he was in the Turks. How could he have such a reputation today?
But Ashinayun was inconvenient to explain everything to Li Ke, and she also agreed to Wang Xuance and would never tell Li Ke about it.
Ashinayun did not reply to Li Ke's words, but asked, "Can you marry me willingly today if I didn't say that?"
Li Ke was stunned when he heard Ashinayun's words.
By the way, Li Ke did think about how to postpone this matter without causing Li Shimin to doubt it.
Asunayun really asked him what he said.
Li Ke walked, and after a while, he asked again: "Did you ask for such a plea for me?"
Li Ke said, a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes, hoping to get the answer he wanted from Asunayun's mouth.
However, Li Ke is destined to be disappointed today. Asuna Yun shook his head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. My father is not feeling well. What he is most worried about every day is the attitude of the Tang Dynasty towards the Turks. If I worship Your Majesty as my adoptive father, the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks will naturally be closer. I did this for my father."
Li Ke had to nod his head when he heard Ashinayun's words.
Ashin Yun's words have their own reasons. Now that Jie Li is infected, it is unknown whether he can survive the coming year. All things in the world are the most worrying people, except his children, and the Turkic people. If Ashin Yun did this to make Jie Li rest assured, it would be understandable.
Li Ke is not the worm in Ashinayun's belly. Naturally, he doesn't know what Ashinayun is thinking, nor does he know how Ashinayun's painstaking efforts, nor who taught her Ashinayun's words. But he knows that no matter how Ashinayun denies it, she will think about it for him after all.
Li Ke said: "No matter what you say, you have helped me solve the current difficulties. I still need to thank you in person."
Ashinayun glanced at Li Ke and said, "I don't have to thank me anymore. But if you get what you wish in the future, don't forget what you promised me."
If I were in charge of the court, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks would be as close as brothers and the same family.
Four years ago, outside the hunting ground at the foot of Jinshan Mountain, Li Ke once told Ashinayun that now, after four years, Ashinayun mentioned it again, how could Li Ke forget it?
Li Ke was not stupid. Through Ashinayun's pretended cold eyes, he could still see the passionate heart of the Turkic girl in front of him. However, now it is indeed not the time for him to act willfully.
Li Ke suddenly looked down at Ashinayun, with stars flashing in his eyes and said to Ashinayun: "I will never forget what I have said, nor will I forget every word I have said. Please wait for me, and I will definitely give you an explanation when my ambitions are rewarded."
——————————————
Although the matter of Li Shimin's acceptance of Ashinayun as his adopted daughter has not been completely finalized, it has not changed much. At this time, Li Chengqian in the Eastern Palace was already furious.
"I told you that this matter is not urgent. Just wait for the arrangements of this palace. You are in a hurry to enter the palace and ask for your order. Now, my father is angry. What should you do now?" After coming out of the Zilizheng Hall, Li Yuanchang did not return to the mansion, but took some roads and headed straight to the Eastern Palace. Li Chengqian learned the news from Li Yuanchang and immediately said angrily.
Li Yuanchang and Li Chengqian are about the same age. In terms of seniority, Li Yuanchang is still Li Chengqian's uncle, but in the face of Li Chengqian's scolding, Li Yuanchang could only bear it.
This incident was indeed caused by Li Yuanchang. If Li Yuanchang was eager to achieve success and entered the palace with Li Chengqian on his back, how could Li Ke have seized the opportunity so easily and resolved the crisis?
After seeing Li Chengqian say this, Li Yuanchang said: "Although this matter is my fault, I am indeed wronged by others in the matter of Caishang. I hope the prince will plead for me because of your past relationship."
Li Chengqian glanced at Li Yuanchang beside him and asked, "You really think that your father is confused, so you can't see the strangeness of this matter at all?"
Li Yuanchang heard this and asked in confusion: "What does the prince mean?"
Li Chengqian said: "How wise the father is, how could he not see the clues of this matter? It's just that you have always acted presumptuously because of the favor of the emperor and grandfather. The father pretended to be unclear and deliberately used this matter to hit you. The father would not take your life in the matter, but you still can't escape the hardships."
Li Yuanchang used to rely on Li Yuan's preference for him and acted quite arrogantly in Chang'an City. Li Shimin had long been dissatisfied. Today, Li Shimin naturally saw that the matter was unusual, but Li Shimin wanted to use this matter to beat Li Yuanchang, so he never delved into the authenticity of the matter.
Li Yuanchang gritted his teeth and said, "Those who frame me must be sent by Li Ke. When this matter is over, I will not forgive them."
