    "Brothers, you are very good!" Li Chengqian said to them in front of the Duobao team.

    He added: "After you defeated the Tibetan team, the biggest foreign enemy, you lived up to your mission and won the championship. It's very good!"

    He paused and said: "This moment of victory, especially after leading the Teller team by ten points, I, as the boss, should take you to have a good celebration!"

    "However, we will have a duel match with the Tubo team tomorrow, so this celebration cannot be held now because we have learned from the pasthere, Team Teller!" Li Chengqian said to the annoyed Teller over there  The team worked their chin.

    As soon as these words came out, everyone in Team Duobao laughed.

    "Okay, this is just a joke among our own comrades. Tomorrow we will face the Tubo team, so we are no longer comrades. We must use all our strength!" Li Chengqian raised his fist and said.

    "Of course, only some of the selected brothers will participate in the competition in Mingyao, but the others can't run away and have to go over to watch the competition. If the competition is too fierce, then someone can step in immediately!" Li Chengqian ordered  .

    "Here!" said Duobao team member.

    "Ahem!" A voice sounded behind Li Chengqian.  Li Chengqian looked back and saw that it was Cui philanthropist.  It seemed that he had been here for a while, but Li Chengqian was talking, so he didn't interrupt.

    Li Chengqian asked Coach Lin to continue explaining to the players what Mingyao should pay attention to, and then he walked over to talk to Cui Philanthropist.

    After Cui Philanthropist saluted, he congratulated Li Chengqian for winning the championship.

    How did this championship come about? I'm afraid Cui Philanthropist knows all too well. Even if the Duobao team is really strong, it still relied on external forces to beat the Teller team today.

    "Uncle Cui praised me, and I have to thank you for that" Li Chengqian paused, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Team Cheng Guan, for your great help!"

    Philanthropist Cui laughed.

    The two of them laughed a few times in unison, and the atmosphere became more intense. Cui Charity said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Tibetan Prime Minister Lu Dongzan came to my door yesterday."

    When Li Chengqian heard this, it was obvious that what the philanthropist Cui said had profound meaning, and it was also related to the fact that Lu Dongzan came to the Cui family recently when Tubo proposed marriage.

    He looked at Cui Philanthropist, expecting him to continue.

    As expected, it was not what Li Chengqian expected. Cui Philanthropist obviously wanted to reveal something to Li Chengqian through these words.  He said: "Lu Dongzan first proposed that our Cui family's caravan can enter Lu Dongzan's tribal territory freely, and there are several tribal territories of the Lu Dongzan Alliance, allowing us to enter there to do business!"

    It turns out that Lu Dongzan wants to open foreign trade privileges to the Cui family!

    The Cui family is a big business family. They have been doing this for hundreds of years. They are a very large consortium, and foreign trade is one of their main incomes.

    Now that Lu Dongzan has spoken, most places in Tubo can be used by the Cui family to do business, so the Cui family should be happy!

    But in the current situation, Cui Philanthropist is doing good deeds again. Jingran took the initiative to tell Li Chengqian about his private communication with Lu Dongzan.

    Choi Philanthropist continued: "Lu Dongzan's only request is that I support their marriage."

    Li Chengqian was stunned, it turned out that Lu Dongzan used this method!

    What else was going through his mind, such as the eldest son¡¯s family?

    Cui philanthropist said: "I heard that Lu Dongzan went to Changsun's house before, and I'm afraid the conditions are much better than mine. I wonder if your highness has heard about it?"

    This last question was just a cover-up for the information he wanted to reveal to Li Chengqian.  The important thing is that he told Li Chengqian that the eldest son of the Sun family had received benefits, so he actively supported the marriage!

    In this way, Li Chengqian understood that as a big family in Chang'an, how could the eldest son's family mobilize the power of the family to retaliate against the princess for a break-up of the engagement, and add fuel to the flames to get rid of the princess's marriage?  They support it because the family can get more benefits.

    The other ministers also had families behind them, and they should have also benefited from Lu Dongzan, so they all stood up to support him.

    This is the family, country and society that Li Chengqian has not been able to understand since he came to the Tang Dynasty.

    "Family first, country later. When every minister considers interests, he first considers family and then country."  When the interests of the family and the country conflict, they will fight against the country for the sake of the family's interests!  Many rebellions in the Tang Dynasty occurred under this idea.

      Speaking of the marriage between two countries, it is not only a temporary alliance between the two countries, but also the big families in those countries can get a lot of benefits from it, so the marriage will sometimes cause the country to suffer, but the big families  Everyone makes a lot of money.

    Therefore, as long as the big families can take advantage of the marriage, they will still stand up and support it.

    And Lu Dongzan has now begun to act, constantly promising benefits to the big family, as the ministers who have stood up have proven this.

    But Li Chengqian will never see this matter become a reality. He cannot sell his eldest sister just because the ministers and the big family want to make profits!

    "Thank you, Uncle Cui, for reminding me!" Li Chengqian bowed to philanthropist Cui. If he hadn't come to reveal the news to Li Chengqian, he would not have known about it.

    Cui philanthropist waved his hand and said: "Your Highness, you are welcome. This is what an old minister should do."

    "Chengqian will remember Uncle Cui's love!" Li Chengqian said seriously again.

    By telling Li Chengqian the news, Cui Philanthropist showed that he did not accept the benefits of Lu Dongzan.  He was using Tubo's foreign trade interests in exchange for Li Chengqian's favor, so Li Chengqian naturally had to give him a promise.

    Cui philanthropist smiled and then said goodbye to Li Chengqian.

    Li Chengqian touched his chin and began to think about the balance of power between the two parties in the marriage incident. It seemed that the side supporting the marriage was stronger, while the power on Li Chengqian's side was weaker.

    Perhaps Li Chengqian is not weak, but in terms of temptation and motivation for this matter, he is weaker than Lu Dongzan. Lu Dongzan took out his Tibetan foreign trade rights, and those ministers who benefited are afraid that they will  Worked hard to support.  As for Li Chengqian, it seems that there is nothing good for other ministers to help him.  Even if Li Chengqian can persuade one or two people to join in, it will be of no benefit. Even if he is persuaded, he may not be able to do his best!

    After a while, Li Chengqian put his hand down from his chin, and then followed Lao Long to the spy academy.
