In this era, it was extremely rude to enter a woman's boudoir privately.
In the end, he could only say to Zitao: "Sister Zitao, please help me talk to sister Wanjie."
"No matter what happens, my intention to marry her remains unchanged."
"If she is willing to believe me, no matter what my father arranges, she will just agree."
"I will definitely live up to her..."
After saying this.
Li Chengqian turned around and left. ??
At this time, Lu Wanjie was hiding in the corner and secretly looking here.
Seeing that he seemed to have said something to Zitao, and then left.
Looking at his back, her face was red all the way to her neck, and her heart was beating wildly.
Not long after, Zitao came over.
Wait until you get back inside.
Zitao looked at Lu Wanjie with a smile on her face: "My eldest lady, you have the ability to peek, but why don't you have the ability to agree to His Highness?"
Hearing this, Lu Wanjie became angry from shame.
"You little girl, haven't I taught you a lesson in a long time?"
After saying this, she raised her hand to strike.
Zitao didn't hide, instead she straightened her chest and said, "Your Highness asked me to deliver a message to the young lady."
"If the lady hits me, I won't say anything."
"Okay, how dare you make terms with me."
Lu Wanjie knocked Zitao down directly and reached out to poke the soft flesh of her waist.
The two girls twisted into a ball and soon rolled onto the bed.
After a while, Zitao quickly begged for mercy: "Miss, stop yelling at me, I was wrong, I know I was wrong..."
"That's pretty much it."
Lu Wanjie stood up with satisfaction and looked at her proudly.
"Tell me, what did he say to you?"
Zitao smiled treacherously: "He said that no matter what happens, his intention to marry the lady will not change."
Hearing this, the blush that had just faded appeared on Lu Wanjie's face again.
Seeing this, Zitao was even more proud: "He also said that if you trust him and follow His Majesty's arrangements, he will definitely live up to you."
< br> If you believe him, you will follow His Majesty’s arrangements.
What does this mean?
Lu Wanjie was stunned. After a long time, she pursed her lips and murmured to herself: "No matter what, I believe you will not let me down..."
…
The next day.
In the court hall.
Wei Zheng, who had been reinstated, stood up and bowed to Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, a woman's honor is more important than her life."
"Now, rumors have spread throughout Chang'an City."
"If your Majesty does not want to punish King Qin, then please give the Lu family an explanation."
As his voice fell.
Several more ministers stood up and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please give the Lu family an explanation..."
To put it bluntly, Li Shimin was a rare good emperor in history.
If in other dynasties, any ministers dared to talk to the emperor like this, they would probably be executed by the Nine Tribes.
Seeing these guys, I still want to use this matter to make fun of myself.
Li Shimin just smiled slightly and said: "My dear friends, there is no need to say more. I have made a decision on this matter in my heart."
A minister faced Li Shimin and asked: "May I ask, Your Majesty, do you plan to punish the King of Qin?"
"Not really."
Li Shimin shook his head.
The minister continued to ask: "Then your Majesty plans to grant a marriage?"
"Yes, and no."
Before the minister could speak, Li Shimin took the initiative to explain.
"To be honest, this is my fault."
"Actually, the queen told me a long time ago that she wanted to meet with the head of the Lu family to talk about their children."
"But this year one thing has happened one after another, starting from Bei Mo to now building a book school. There is never any idle time."
"So I delayed it again and again, until now."
Li Shimin smiled and looked at
Lu Qing stood in the crowd.
"Speaking of this matter, I have to make amends to Mr. Lu."
"Your Majesty is serious..."
Lu Qing's attitude was very humble.
In his heart, he is the same as Ming Jing.
The matter between Li Chengqian and Lu Wanjie clearly was a means used by other aristocratic families to put pressure on Li Shimin.
And their Lu family was completely used as a gun.
Li Shimin smiled again: "But Qian'er is still young after all."
"So far, I'm still just a ten-year-old child."
"He is my son after all. Now he is at the age where he needs to read, write, and learn political and military skills and martial arts."
"So I also have selfish motives and don't want him to get married too early."
Li Shimin looked at Lu Qing and said, "But since things have developed to this point, I have to give you an explanation for the Lu family."
He waved his hand and said: "Eunuch Zhou, declare the decree."
"Here."
Eunuch Zhou unfolded the silk cloth and read aloud.
"The eldest daughter of Lu Qing, the imperial censor, has a family tradition of righteousness, a gentle appearance, chastity and nature..."
This is an imperial edict.
The first half is almost useless nonsense.
The main thing to listen to is the last few sentences.
For example, the last sentence of this imperial edict is: "I can be the concubine of Qin, and the marriage will be completed after the crowning ceremony of the King of Qin..."
After reading the edict.
Li Shimin looked at Lu Qing: "Master Lu, are you satisfied with my explanation?"
No one expected it.
In the end, Li Shimin actually used this method to resolve the matter.
Even Lu Qing himself was a little confused.
Looking at Li Shimin, he was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.
This imperial edict seems to be for Li Chengqian and Lu Wanjie to get married.
In fact, this refers to the imperial edict of marriage and does not say the specific date of Li Chengqian and Lu Wanjie's marriage.
Not to mention whether Lu Wanjie will be allowed to be Li Chengqian's concubine.
r>
He just asked her to be the Princess of Qin.
It can be said that Li Shimin's move is simply amazing.
If we say that Lu Qing accepted Li Shimin’s imperial edict.
After that, Li Shimin can let Lu Wanjie be Li Chengqian's concubine, and he can personally choose a concubine for Li Chengqian to suppress her.
If so, Lu Qing would not accept it.
Then there's nothing more to say.
Li Chengqian can still do whatever he needs to do.
The ministers and aristocratic families in the court could no longer bring this matter up to ask Li Shimin to severely punish Li Chengqian.
Lu Qing, who could clearly see the secrets, looked ugly.
He glanced at Li Shimin, bowed and said: "Although the children's marriage depends on the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, in the end, the children still have to make their own decisions."
"When I go back and ask my daughter, if she agrees, it will be a great honor for me to marry your majesty."
"good."
Li Shimin nodded and said: "In that case, this matter has come to an end, and no one is allowed to mention it again in the future."
After saying that, he waved his hand and said: "Retreat from the court."
Now that the matter has come to this, what else can the ministers say?
They all bowed and said: "I would like to send you off to Your Majesty..."
…
When eldest son Wuji came to the Prince of Qin's Mansion, he told Li Chengqian what happened in the court.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh.
An old fox is still an old fox.
But Changsun Wuji had a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty, by acting like this, I'm afraid you will offend many people again..."
"No matter what you do, you will offend people."
"Father is also smart and can think of a way that is most beneficial to him."
Li Chengqian chuckled lightly, and then showed a hint of caution: "Uncle, I always feel that this matter cannot be settled so easily."
He looked at Changsun Wuji and asked seriously, "Do you feel this way?"
Changsun Wuji glanced at Li Chengqian, then shook his head and said: "Now, we can only use soldiers to cover up the water and earth..."
