Gu Tianya stood at the door with his hands behind his hands and said slowly: "First of all, it's Li Chengqian."

"Li Chengqian?"

Everyone looked at each other and frowned: "What does the head of the family mean? Are you determined to give benefits to outsiders? Li Chengqian is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and has been canonized as the crown prince of the East Palace... Let him follow him to Goguryeo.

If you gain fame, won't you have the opportunity to get involved in government affairs in the future?"

Gu Tianya remained silent and did not answer.

And at this moment, I heard a sudden laugh, saying: "How about I answer your concerns?"

Amidst the laughter, a figure flashed at the door, and Li Shimin and Empress Changsun came hand in hand. They looked at everyone with a smile and said: "Li Chengqian is my eldest son, but he is also the nephew of Gu family in Youyun.

.”

Several retainers in the room were silent for a moment, and suddenly they all raised their hands and retorted: "Your Majesty should understand that what we are discussing tonight are family matters. Although Your Majesty is the king of the Tang Dynasty, the king cannot meddle in the household affairs of his ministers at will."

"That's right, that's the truth!" Li Shimin nodded, his tone was extremely calm, and he said with a smile: "Although the king claims to have a vast territory, he cannot dictate to his ministers about their household chores. However, have you ever thought about it?

Can your Youyun Gu family's family affairs be considered family affairs?"

Everyone was obviously shocked.

Li Shimin breathed out slowly and said solemnly: "The Youyun Gu family established a vassal state, so family affairs are national affairs."

The emperor paused for a moment and then continued: "We, the Tang Dynasty, are the suzerain states. Whether it is from the perspective of the laws of the country or in accordance with the rules passed down from ancient times, the suzerain states have certain rights and interests in all government affairs of the vassal states.

He has the qualifications and the right to intervene."

Everyone was silent.

At this time, Empress Changsun opened her mouth to smooth things over, and said in a gentle voice: "This is just official rhetoric. In fact, our two families don't care too much about each other. I am a woman and don't know much about state affairs, so I only care about the two sides."

The children of our family can be close friends for a lifetime, and they will still be good brothers even when they are old in the future..."

The queen paused and said in a gentler voice: "Maybe you will say that the tiger cub will marry Li Mingzhu in the future. This is already a marriage, which is enough to continue the relationship between the two families for another generation. However, our Li family confirms

Because, it’s not enough for Baby Tiger to just marry Li Mingzhu..."

The queen paused again while speaking, and her tone finally became solemn, saying: "Because even if the tiger cub marries Li Mingzhu, it will only be a continued marriage with the first branch of the royal family. For the other branches of the royal family, they are all relatives of each other."

It has not been continued.”

Ma Sanbao couldn't help but argue and said: "My young master and Prince Li Chengqian are cousins. This relationship is quite good, right?"

The queen shook her head slightly and said: "Not enough, far from enough. The relationship between cousins ​​will eventually be diluted by interests one day. Therefore, there must be a closer relationship so that the younger generation can work together for a lifetime, such as..."

At this time, Gu Tianya answered the conversation and explained on his behalf: "For example, let the children do big things together to form an interest group that cannot be severed. Your interests are related to me, and my interests are also related to you. Only in this way can we

Help and support each other, and face the whole world together."

Everyone had a vague understanding.

Gu Tianya said in a deep voice: "No matter where the Gu family goes in the future, we must always remember where we come from. The blood of the Han family has the same origin. The world is very big, and there is a lot of wealth in the world.

It’s very clear that if you want to acquire that kind of wealth, you must have support behind you.”

Li Shimin took the opportunity to take over the conversation and said solemnly: "When the Youyun Gu family expands its territory, the Tang Dynasty will be the Gu family's strongest support. This will be the case in my life, and the same will be true for Li Chengqian's generation.

"

Gu Tianya spoke again and solemnly said: "When the Tang Dynasty expanded to the outside world, I, the Youyun Gu family, were also the strongest backers. For example, in the common people's home, the children can separate when they grow up, although they can go their own way.

Live their own lives, but brothers must help and support each other."

Several retainers present were silent, obviously still somewhat reluctant in their hearts.

Gu Tianya's tone suddenly became tough and he said in a deep voice: "Li Chengqian's matter is settled. Whether you agree or disagree, he will definitely go to Liaodong with Tiger Baby."

This shows the authority of the family head and directly decides on a clan decision.

Ma Sanbao suddenly spoke, looking at Li Shimin without any timidity, and argued with reason: "Your Majesty has made such a huge profit, shouldn't you show some respect?"

Li Shimin nodded happily and said with a smile: "This is reasonable and I should adopt it. When the children set off, the Li family will definitely express their opinions."

Ma Sanbao immediately asked, "What does it mean?"

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, slowly stretched out three fingers and said: "First of all, I will issue an imperial edict. Secondly, the Queen will send a team of maids. Thirdly, Datang will send a Duke to follow. This Duke will

Leading five thousand black armor cavalry to show the majesty of the children on patrol."

The emperor paused slightly while speaking, and then said with deep eyes: "The imperial edict is used to block the eyes of outsiders, and the palace maids are used to take care of the children. As for the five thousand black armor cavalry used to show their majesty, the real intention is to help you secretly

The Yun Gu family went to fight..."

Fight?

The emperor is talking about fighting!

It was clear that Goguryeo had been defeated, but the emperor said the word "fight", which was obviously a hidden meaning, and everyone present understood it clearly.

Today, rebels are still hiding in the mountains and forests all over Goguryeo.

The emperor looked at everyone with a smile and asked: "How do you feel about my expression?"

Ma Sanbao and several retainers looked at each other, raised their hands in a solemn salute and said: "Your Majesty is very generous. Thank you for sending troops to help."

Li Shimin accepted the courtesy from everyone, but looked at Gu Tianya, and suddenly asked: "Besides my Li Chengqian, which other child will follow?"

This is asking about the rest of the arrangements.

Gu Tianya breathed out gently and said: "Although Li Mingzhu is a girl, she needs to follow her."

Li Shimin nodded solemnly and said: "This girl will be Tiger Baby's wife in the future, and will be the mistress of the Gu family's back house in the future. Therefore, she should definitely go with her."

Gu Tianya slowly added: "Among my disciples, Xiao Wang Bo will also follow."

Li Shimin was startled at first, then thoughtfully, and nodded again: "Wang Bo was born in poverty and has no maternal ties. This little guy has been raised by you and Xiuning since he was a child. He can almost be regarded as a biological son...

...So if we can support him vigorously, he will be a good helper for the tiger cubs in the future.”

Gu Tianya smiled and said: "I don't really care about this. The main thing is that Wang Bo and the tiger baby are the closest. If the two little guys don't see each other for a day, the tiger baby will definitely cry and fuss and refuse to sleep."

Li Shimin looked solemn and said: "Such affectionate feelings are even more worthy of support."

After the emperor finished speaking, he seemed to ponder for a while, and suddenly said: "In this way, the team is already very large."

The implication is self-explanatory, it is to dissuade Gu Tianya from giving other children opportunities.

Gu Tianya hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly and said, "Okay, just these dolls."
