Chapter 510 Marriage?

"Destroy the Turks within three years?" Li Shimin couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard Li Xiu's words. Even though he was already very optimistic, he never dared to think about destroying the Turks within three years. Even if such words were said in the court, they would probably only receive endless ridicule, and no one would believe them.

"Yes, within three years, the Turks will be destroyed!" Li Xiu said with great affirmation at this time. Although his arrival affected history, it had mostly had a positive impact on the Tang Dynasty, causing the strength of the Tang Dynasty to soar, while the strength of the Turks dropped rapidly, so the Turks would only perish faster by then!

"You are so confident in yourself?" Li Shimin asked again in surprise. Last time, Li Xiu assured him that the Western Turks would be in chaos within a few years. Although the Western Turks are not in chaos now, with the information he collected, it will be a matter of time before chaos begins. However, Li Xiu had concluded that Jie Li's Eastern Turks would be destroyed within three years, which makes people feel a little unbelievable.

"Your Majesty, I am not confident in myself, but in my strength of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Xiu bowed to Li Shimin at this time. Of course, this sentence was a bit suspicious of flattery, but now Li Xiu is asking for help, so it is appropriate to lower his posture, not to mention what he said is the truth.

Looking at the confident expression on Li Xiu's face, Li Shimin also showed a meditative expression again. If he could destroy the Turks in just three years, then the throne would be completely firm, leaving Empress Xiao and Wang Fan with the former Sui royal family, which was a good thing. Moreover, Wang Fan is just a child now, and no one knows his identity, which is even more intimidating to him.

"Your Majesty, I only ask Your Majesty to give Wang Fan this child three years. If the Turks are not destroyed in three years, everything will be left to Your Majesty!" Li Xiu saw that Li Shimin was a little shaken, and immediately added another force to persuade him.

"Okay, for your sake, I will give Wang Fan three years. Three years later, if the Turks are destroyed, I can restore his identity and even give him a title, so that he can reunite with his cousin and his son!" Li Shimin finally nodded at this time and said that he could wait for three years. Of course, this is why Li Xiu has such a great face. If someone else was the case, he would probably not let Wang Fan go.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and immediately thanked Li Shimin. With Li Shimin's words, Princess Guanghua and his son finally explained the matter. Of course, he also heard that Li Shimin only said half of what he said, and the remaining half was that if the Turks were not destroyed in three years and Wang Fan still threatened his throne, then he would be polite.

"By the way, since my cousin is back, I will take time to see her. In addition, she is not very old. If my cousin doesn't dislike me, I can choose a few unmarried couples from the ministers, and have a few more children at that time, so I will have a future where I can have a settlement!" Li Shimin suddenly smiled again and suggested.

What does shamelessness mean? Li Shimin in front of him is a shameless person. He just threatened to get rid of Princess Guanghua's son, but after a turn of his face, he actually wanted to give Princess Guanghua's husband the first husband. I'm afraid that people who can train their faces to this level are unlikely to be seen in the entire Tang Dynasty.

"This... the princess and the eldest princess have just reunited. I'm afraid she hasn't had the heart to talk about marriage yet. Why don't I let the princess find out about her words? If the princess has this meaning, it's not too late for Your Majesty to get along again!" Li Xiu also showed a embarrassed expression when he heard this, and then he spoke. In fact, he was sure that Princess Guanghua would definitely not have the intention to start a family again, otherwise she would not have stayed in Luoyang as a Taoist nun.

"It's good that this is the case. The third sister and cousin have a relationship since childhood. It's convenient for their women to talk about these things!" Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, and then talked to Li Xiu a few more about the affairs in the court. Of course, it was mainly the locust plague that might come next year.

In fact, Li Shimin was not very afraid of the locust plague itself. After all, he had done everything he should do. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty has achieved good harvests in recent years and has prepared almost all the food for disaster relief. However, what he was afraid of was other problems that the locust plague might cause. For example, someone might attack him by using the locust plague. After all, he had an incorrect position.

In fact, when smallpox just broke out, someone was already preparing to use smallpox to attack Li Shimin. At that time, someone was quietly spreading news in Chang'an and other places that the outbreak of smallpox was because Li Shimin killed his brother and imprisoned his father, and did not cultivate kindness and thus caused a disaster to God. Fortunately, Li Xiu later came up with a solution to vaccinate acne, which suppressed this rumor. But if the locust plague broke out next year, rumors might spread again.

Li Xiu was also helpless about Li Shimin's concerns, because he had done everything he could, and Li Shimin was not such a vulnerable person. It would probably not be so easy for others to shake his throne by natural disasters, so there was no need for him to get involved, otherwise what would he have to do with Changsun Wuji?

After the chat, Li Xiu said goodbye to Li Shimin and left. When he returned home, Princess Pingyang immediately came to see him and asked, "How is it, has your cousin done your business?"

Originally, Princess Pingyang's temper definitely didn't like to ask Li Shimin, even if Li Xiu went, it wouldn't work. However, this time the matter was related to Princess Guanghua and his son, so she didn't care about this.

"Don't worry, the matter has been done, and in three years, if Princess Guanghua is willing, she can take the child back. Even if she is given a title, she can continue generously, and there is no need to worry anymore!" Li Xiu patted his chest and promised.

"That's great, I'll tell my cousin now that she can finally sleep well!" Princess Pingyang immediately stood up happily when she heard this. She didn't ask about the incident, nor did she ask why it was three years later, this is the trust between husband and wife.

"Wait a minute!" But at this moment, Li Xiu suddenly called Princess Pingyang, then hesitated for a while and finally said, "Xiu Ning, today His Majesty said he wanted to match Princess Guanghua, and I was blocked back. But I think the princess is not very old. If she could marry a good husband, she would be better?"

Princess Guanghua was actually in her early thirties, so in later generations, she could only say that she was a late marriage, and her appearance and background were not bad. Although Li Shimin's proposal today was somewhat selfish, such as using Princess Guanghua to win over the ministers, it was not completely unreasonable, so Li Xiu mentioned it to Princess Pingyang.

"This..." Princess Pingyang frowned when she heard this, pondered for a while before she spoke, "From my understanding of my cousin, I'm afraid she wouldn't consider remarrying. After all, she's all her mind now on her own son."
