But this kind of thing requires mutual consent and cannot be forced.
Just when Li Min was thinking about whether there was any chance to win Shangguan Yi to his side, the powerful men in the palace came to deliver the message that the emperor wanted to summon King Liang.
Um?
I don’t seem to have done anything wrong recently, right?
What else has Father summoned me for?
With infinite suspicion, Li Min came to the palace.
In the royal study, Li Shimin asked Li Min with a dark face: "Min'er, have you been living a leisurely life recently?"
Li Yincheng said with fear: "Father, it's not true! My son has been studying scriptures and studying knowledge very hard recently, and he has been living a very full life!"
Snapped!
Li Shimin slammed the table and asked sternly: "What about the papermaking and printing technology you promised me? After taking my five thousand coins, why is there still no movement at all?"
Forehead--
Can Li Min say that he has forgotten this question?
Originally, if there had been no assassination, Li Min would have been ready to do this.
But after the assassination incident, Li Min put the matter behind him and actually forgot about it completely.
But this kind of thing cannot be admitted even to death!
So, Li Min said calmly: "Father, how could I forget such a big thing? I have already prepared it, and within a month at most, I can produce it at a low price and as white as snow.
Blank paper.”
After hearing Li Min's answer, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.
Then, as if he remembered something, he couldn't help but said: "By the way, you can also make some toilet paper. There is not much toilet paper in the palace. Send some as soon as possible."
After using toilet paper once, Li Shimin couldn't live without it.
Even Queen Changsun and others also fell in love with it.
Everyone who has used it says it is good.
However, Li Shimin only had one volume on hand, and everyone used it, so it was quickly used up.
As a last resort, Li Shimin had no choice but to go to the Hanxiang Hall and return with another roll.
Concubine Yang lives in the Hanxiang Hall. Concubine Yang's place is naturally indispensable for this thing.
But the majestic emperor actually wants to go to his concubine to have his way with her. He is totally embarrassed to tell anyone about it.
But this guy only knows how to honor his mother and concubine, but not his father, and he has to remind himself!
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Min couldn't help but secretly enjoy himself, but he didn't dare to show it, and he endured it very hard.
After a long while, Li Shimin said to Li Min with sincerity: "Min'er, these things you have done are all important things that benefit the country and the people. It can be said that everything you have done is for your father and for me."
Don made it.”
"Anyone who has committed a crime must be punished, and a meritorious service must be rewarded. You have made such a great contribution, and it seems unreasonable if the father does not reward you (even readers can't stand it :)). Tell me, what do you want?
reward?"
After pondering for a moment, Li Min couldn't help but say: "I can tell my father, I can share my father's worries, and I can do something for our Tang Dynasty. These are all my duties, so how can I dare to ask for rewards from my father?"
"
Li Shimin said with emotion: "It would be great if my son could be as sensible as you! But if you have merit, you should be rewarded. After all, what reward do you want?"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Min couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
Are you so stingy? If you really want to reward me, why not just reward me directly? Ask me, what should I say?
If Li Min's achievements were followed, he could probably be rewarded with a larger fiefdom and change his title.
But if Li Shimin really does this, I'm afraid Li Min will become the target of public criticism.
Li Shimin has never awarded him a reward, which is actually a kind of protection.
And Li Min himself would not want these false names.
Anyway, before going to the fiefdom, these are all empty. At most, the rewards will be more generous.
But now that Li Min is making a lot of money, is he short of this little money?
After thinking for a long time, Li Min couldn't help but said to Li Shimin: "Father, there is a military officer in my house named Xue Rengui. Last time, he led the imperial guards to capture and bring to justice the rebellious officials and traitors who insulted the royal family! Xue Rengui's sister Xue Xiaoxiao
, and even saved my son’s life.”
"If my father really wants to reward his son, why not just give it to Xue Rengui!"
After hearing the conditions proposed by Li Min, Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded secretly.
Min'er has really grown up. He is not asking for rewards for himself, but for his subordinates.
In this way, his subordinates will only become more devoted to him.
After thinking about it, Li Shimin couldn't help but said: "Okay, if that's the case, then I will give Xue Rengui the title of county male! As for you, let's increase your food entitlement to 1,500 households!"
The territorial title and the title of king will not change for the time being, but increasing his food title will increase his monthly income.
The food supply for 1,500 households is already on the same scale as that of Li Tai.
And Li Tai's reward is the highest among all princes except the prince.
This was already an extremely rare honor. Of course, Li Min didn't feel much about the extra food allowance for hundreds of households.
What he cares more about is the reward given to Xue Rengui.
After receiving this reward, Li Min couldn't help but be very satisfied, and quickly thanked him and said, "My son, I thank you for your holy grace."
Li Shimin smiled and said: "Okay, get up quickly! You must seize the time to do papermaking and printing. You should also pay attention to your own safety, but if anyone dares to stretch out his hand again, don't blame me for giving him his outstretched hand.
Cut it off! Isn’t my steel knife bad?”
…
After Li Min returned, he decided to give Xue Rengui brother and sister a surprise, so he did not tell them about the reward.
The matter of awarding a reward, whether it is big or small, will probably take a few days to prepare.
After returning home, nothing happened. Li Min teased Liu Zhi and Xue Xiaoxiao a lot, and time flew by unknowingly.
At night, Li Min returned to the bedroom and was shocked.
In his bedroom, there was actually an extra bed, which was placed side by side with his bed, with a distance of about three or four feet in between.
I have a big problem, what is going on?
Who wants to live in my room? How come I didn’t know about it beforehand?
Li Min couldn't help but ask Liu Zhi: "Liu Zhi, what's going on? Who is this bed prepared for?"
Liu Zhi said quickly: "Your Highness, this bed is prepared for the little girl. This is Concubine Yang's arrangement, saying that the little girl will protect the safety of Your Highness."
But is this really good?
After all, there are differences between men and women!
At that time, if Xue Xiaoxiao changes clothes or something, what will you do if I get embarrassed?
Is this king watching? Still watching? Still watching?
