Chapter 117

Only Ying Ying Ziyu saw it clearly.

"Even the most powerful Emperor, having established so many great achievements."

"In his heart, he still longs to be able to talk to his children."

Ying Ying Ziyu thought to himself.

He understood Ying Zheng's mood at this moment.

Because he needed to maintain majesty, Ying Zheng had to maintain a cold appearance year-round, which led to his character becoming increasingly cold.

The people around him feared him more and more.

At this moment, he suddenly discovered someone who was not afraid of him.

And it was his own son.

Ying Zheng naturally felt differently.

"You don't need to answer."

"I have decided that the Ninth Prince, Ying Ying Ziyu, will form a marriage alliance with the Great Tang."

"Alright, you may withdraw!"

Ying Zheng returned to his cold tone and expression.

Upon hearing this decision, Hu Hai was very happy; he had completed the task his teacher gave him, and he hadn't left a bad impression on His Majesty.

The other princes also breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Zhao Gao felt that His Majesty's decision was very unusual.

Clearly, Ying Ying Ziyu had already piqued His Majesty's interest and could join the ranks of those being assessed.

As long as he qualified, he would have the right to compete for the throne.

How could His Majesty be willing to take such an excellent descendant and use him for a marriage alliance with the Great Tang?

"Could it be that everything I inferred before was wrong?"

Zhao Gao felt doubt in his heart.

After confirming the candidate, Ying Zheng had someone send a return state letter to Li Shimin.

Great Tang Imperial Palace.

"Master Yuan, have you ever learned about this Ninth Prince of the Great Qin?"

Li Shimin asked with a frown.

He truly had no impression of Ying Ying Ziyu at all.

"This subject is also hearing of him for the first time."

Yuan Yuan Tiangang shook his head.

He had indeed never heard of this Ninth Prince, Ying Ying Ziyu, before.

What Yuan Yuan Tiangang knew most about the Great Qin princes were Prince Fusu and Hu Hai.

After all, these two were the most likely to inherit the Great Qin throne and had to be given extra attention.

"Could Ying Zheng be using just any prince to fool me?"

"If that is truly the case, I will absolutely not marry Li Lizhi to this Ying Ying Ziyu!"

Li Shimin said, filled with anger.

The daughter he loved most was Li Li Lizhi, his eldest legitimate daughter.

If she were marrying a famous prince of the Great Qin, Li Shimin naturally wouldn't care, but this Ninth Prince Ying Ying Ziyu had popped out of nowhere, completely unknown.

Li Shimin found this somewhat unacceptable.

You must know, after he sent the state letter to the Southern Song, they were begging to form a marriage alliance with the Great Tang.

Yet when it came to the Great Qin, Ying Zheng didn't take it seriously at all.

Just thinking about it made Li Shimin furious.

"Your Majesty, calm your anger."

"It is too early to draw conclusions."

"We have already explained the pros and cons to Ying Zheng."

"With Ying Zheng's vision and wisdom, he will absolutely not fail to take this seriously."

"If he dares to use this Ninth Prince for the marriage alliance, presumably this Ninth Prince must have extraordinary qualities."

Yuan Yuan Tiangang said patiently.

He understood Ying Zheng's character.

Destroying the Great Ming martial arts world, thereby keeping the Great Ming in constant chaos, was a way to eliminate a potential strong rival.

For such an important matter, Ying Zheng would not deal with it casually.

"I hope it is as you say, Master Yuan."

"If this Ying Ying Ziyu truly has no ability, I will not let Li Lizhi suffer any grievances."

Li Shimin's attitude was very firm.

The news of the marriage alliance between the Great Qin and the Great Tang quickly spread throughout the Nine Provinces.

The one with the biggest reaction was the Great Sui.

Great Sui Imperial Palace.

After learning the news of the marriage alliance between the Great Qin and the Great Tang, Yang Guang was so angry that he started cursing in the imperial court.

"That damn brat Li Shimin, actually wanting a marriage alliance with the Great Qin!"

"That brat Ying Zheng is also a fool, actually agreeing to Li Shimin's request."

"I must kill these two people!"

Yang Guang's eyes were red as he cursed loudly.

It scared the officials below into lowering their heads, not daring to look at Yang Guang.

"Dismiss the court, dismiss the court!"

Yang Guang said impatiently.

The officials, as if granted amnesty, hurriedly left the hall.

After the officials left, Yuwen Tuo came before Yang Guang.

"After the marriage alliance with the Great Qin, the Great Tang's strength will increase, which is very unfavorable for our Great Sui."

"Your Majesty must prepare and plan early!"

Yuwen Tuo said with a serious expression.

He had never underestimated Li Shimin.

Being able to carve out vast territories from the Great Sui and defeat numerous regional powers was enough to prove Li Shimin's military talent was very strong.

After becoming Emperor following the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he governed the Great Tang in an orderly fashion.

This also proved that Li Shimin was a good Emperor who could lead the Great Tang toward prosperity.

According to seniority, Yang Guang was actually Li Shimin's cousin-uncle.

Li Shimin's grandmother and Yang Guang's mother were sisters, both daughters of Senior Dugu Xin.

Despite having blood relations, there was a huge gap between the two when it came to being Emperor.

Yuwen Tuo very much wanted Yang Guang to return to the time when he had just become Emperor.

Ambitious, wise, and martial!

However, all of that could not be returned to.

"Have the people of the Left Cavalry Guard returned?" Yang Guang asked after calming down.

He remembered that Dao Ma of the Left Cavalry Guard had ascended the Grandmaster List of the Heaven's Pride List, which was a good thing for the Great Sui.

"It will take another two days to return to Luoyang!"

Yuwen Tuo said.

"Good, very good, convey my decree."

"After the Left Cavalry Guard returns, hold a grand banquet in the palace."

"Properly celebrate our Great Sui producing a martial artist who has ascended the Grandmaster List!"

Yang Guang said with a loud laugh. ===== CHAPTER 118 =====

Yang Guang laughed loudly and said.
