Changsun Wuji was just about to say a few words of persuasion, but saw that His Majesty Li Er had already spoken first.
"Are you sure you only want Chang'an City?" His Majesty Li Er asked.
"Not bad!" Su Chen nodded.
Then, His Majesty Li Er put down what he was doing and stood up suddenly.
His move made Changsun Wuji extremely nervous and he also stood up.
Changsun Wuji thought that His Majesty Li Er was angry and wanted to take action against Su Chen, so he hurried forward to grab Li Er's sleeve.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand halfway, His Majesty Li Er spoke again.
I heard him say in a very troubled tone: "Chang'an City is an imperial city... I can only give you half."
As soon as he finished speaking, Changsun Wuji stood blankly on the spot and even forgot to take back his hand.
He seriously suspected that he was hallucinating because he was too nervous.
Did His Majesty just say that he would give half of Chang'an City to Su Chen?
In other words, not only was His Majesty not angry because of Su Chen's strange request, he actually agreed to it?!
this……
Changsun Wuji was so frightened that his vision went dark and he was about to leave this beautiful world.
Su Chen's reaction was not much better than Changsun Wuji's.
He was seen staring at Li Er with his mouth slightly open, a rare loss of composure.
Li Er's reply really surprised him.
He imagined countless possible reactions from Li Er, but he never thought that Li Er would agree to his request.
Isn’t this so fucking ridiculous?
Did he really make the imperial city his own fiefdom?
Although it is only half of it, it is still an imperial city. If this thing really happens, then Su Chen will not have to do anything in the future. This alone is enough to be famous throughout the ages!
There is no one in the past, that is certain, and there is no such thing as a thought in the future.
Seeing Su Chen showing such a shocked expression, His Majesty Li Er felt distressed, but he still felt a sense of satisfaction.
Does your boy have this day too?
Ignoring the two people standing there dumbfounded, he continued: "With Zhuque Street as the boundary, the east side belongs to you and the west side belongs to me."
"I'll be more generous and give you Wannian County as well."
It was only then that Su Chen came to his senses and asked, "Are you kidding?"
His Majesty Li Er stared and said angrily: "How can such serious true feelings be used as a joke?"
"If you agree, I will issue an edict tomorrow and everything will be done in accordance with the rules of the fief."
"From now on, you will live in the hundreds of thousands of households east of Yi Zhuque Street!"
Su Chen was stunned by what Li Er said and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
This is the first time that he has encountered something beyond his expectations after traveling through time.
Is Li Er actually so sincere?
Changsun Wuji felt dizzy and a little unsteady on his feet.
These two really dare to mention it, and the other one really dares to give it!
Absolutely amazing!
In just a few words, the city of Chang'an was really divided up?!
After he recovered a little, Changsun Wuji pinched himself hard.
hiss!
It hurts!
It doesn’t look like you’re hallucinating!
He turned to look at His Majesty Li Er with a little worry in his eyes.
Your Majesty must be confused, right? The banquet hasn't even started yet, and now he's drunk?
In fact, His Majesty Li Er is very sober at the moment, and what he just said was not casual.
He actually gave me half of Chang'an City.
This kind of thing has indeed never happened in history, but he, Li Er, has never been a stickler for rules.
When Su Chen first made this request, he was really confused, but he soon figured it out.
As one of the founders of the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to abide by the regulations of the previous emperor. Isn't it just what he wanted to enfeoff the forty-three states?
This kind of feat has never happened in history.
Now that we are ready to set a precedent, what's wrong with dividing half of Chang'an City?
Comparing these two options, the latter is more reliable.
At the very least, Su Chen's descendants will no longer have the risk of becoming kings without a large fiefdom.
His Majesty Li Er felt like a mirror in his heart, Su Chen was the same guy as him.
Both of them are very respectable people. They gave the boy half of Chang'an City, and the most important thing was to show off.
Su Chen made this request, presumably because he wanted to pursue status.
After all, in terms of title, the Protector of the Country is already at the top, and he will be given whatever official position he wants, there is no doubt about this.
And he was afraid that Su Chen would not want any official position.
Based on his understanding of Su Chen, the boy was very lazy and slept until midnight every day. It was unrealistic for him to come to the morning court before dawn.
Therefore, Li Er concluded that allocating Chang'an City to Su Chen would result in a loss of half of the tax revenue at most.
With that boy's laziness, it is impossible to expect him to handle all the complicated affairs in Chang'an City.
To sum up, by signing this seemingly outrageous request, Li Er not only did not lose money, but also made some money.
He knew Su Chen's capabilities very well.
Such talents cannot be found even with a lantern. This is the auspiciousness of living!
It is indeed unheard of to use half of Chang'an City as a fiefdom, but considering that boy's ability, he is worthy of it.
On this point, he saw clearly.
If Su Chen is coaxed, why should the Tang Dynasty worry about not being strong in the future?
This is a long-term investment and is a good deal no matter how you look at it.
As for the impact this incident had on his prestige as emperor, it was even more minimal.
As soon as the series of things beginning with the character "Su" came out, their influence had already appeared, but Su Chen didn't use it to make any trouble.
From that moment on, Li Er understood.
Su Chen only pursues fame and has no intention of rebelling.
At this point, he still trusted Su Chen very much.
All of his previous actions before his identity was revealed have already proven all of this.
Besides, he, Li Er, has never had random suspicions in his heart. He would not bother about these things before they happened.
This is true for the generals who hold military power, and it is naturally the same for Su Chen, a younger generation who is closer to him.
As an emperor, he never relies on these unflattering means to maintain his authority. He relies on his own shrewdness and ability, and he relies on the will of the people!
Therefore, he made a decision without hesitating for too long. With a wave of his hand, Chang'an City was given to him!
During this period of time, the imperial study was extremely quiet.
Except for the sound of Li Erxia drinking tea, there was no other sound.
Changsun Wuji stood aside and doubted his life, pinching his penis from time to time to prevent him from fainting.
Su Chen, on the other hand, frowned slightly and looked a little lost.
Although he had just suffered a heavy hemorrhage, Li Er was in a pretty good mood at this time.
