Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng when he spoke, but the coercion he exuded was directed at everyone. After all, Li Shimin was not one of those emperors in the Ming and Qing Dynasties who were kept captive by civil servants. He spent his life as a soldier, and he was decisive and decisive.
When it comes to making decisions, there are very few people who dare to make mistakes.
Even Wei Zheng would only speak out when he was well-founded. At this moment, Li Shimin has made it clear that the marriage is my family matter and has nothing to do with you.
If everyone still doesn't understand, it was just a test by him, and the officials over the years have really fallen into the dog's belly.
Wei Zheng groaned, but finally said nothing. The world only knows that Wei Zheng is a man who dares to speak out and remonstrate directly. However, he was able to get the attention of Li Shimin throughout his life. Just speaking out and remonstrating is not enough. He is also a
For those who know how to advance and retreat, as Li Shimin said, this is just a family matter after all.
Another reason is that although the King of Jin is the legitimate son, he is the youngest among the legitimate sons. Now the prince has also calmed down, worked hard to learn government affairs, and is also in charge of the power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. And Wei Wang Li Tai also seems to have the appearance of everyone
, it is said that preparations for the literature museum are almost complete. It can be said that the two princes are both dragons and phoenixes among men. Prince Jin is more than ten years younger than the two of them, so the future throne will definitely not be Prince Jin.
Although the King of Jin is loved by His Majesty, in the end he just chooses a wealthy place to become a vassal. Li Mu's daughter, as the Princess of Jin, does not have much influence. If she is the Crown Princess, she should worry about it. With Li Mu's talent, she will
It will no longer lead to the problem of exclusive power by relatives.
There is no need to go against the emperor for something that is innocuous. What's more, you are hooking up with Li Mu? His own daughter has now run away to Luoyang as if she has eloped. It is not worthwhile to offend Li Mu. I am not afraid of being an old man, but I am afraid that he will do something to him.
Start with your own daughter!
Wei Zheng stopped talking, and no matter how courageous the others were, they did not dare to speak out. Li Shimin asked Eunuch Gao to help Changsun Wuji up, and the court meeting ended in a strange atmosphere.
…
The harem claims not to interfere in politics, and Empress Changsun has indeed done this. However, this does not mean that the harem does not know what happens in the court. In fact, Queen Changsun is aware of almost everything that happens in the court every day, but most of it
She just pretended not to know anything about it.
But she could no longer pretend that she didn't know anything about matters related to her children. As soon as Li Shimin arrived at Taiji Palace, Empress Changsun arrived. Li Shimin was about to see the memorial brought by the little eunuch when he saw his eldest grandson.
The queen came in, not surprisingly, and signaled Eunuch Gao and others to exit. In the huge Tai Chi Hall, only Li Shimin and Queen Changsun and his wife were left.
Queen Changsun's face was full of anger. She stared at Li Shimin for a while, suppressed her anger, and asked calmly: "Why?"
"What why?"
"You know what I'm asking!" Empress Changsun gritted her teeth and her voice trembled: "You once told me that you would not let political intrigues involve our children! Your Majesty, have you forgotten?"
"How can this be a plot?" Li Shimin looked puzzled and said, "Zhinu and Li Mu's daughter are of the same age. Li Mu is a minister I rely on, and we are of the same family. Wouldn't it be nice to get married to her?"
"Isn't this a conspiracy?" Seeing Li Shimin admit it, Empress Changsun laughed angrily: "Your Majesty, don't you know what a conspiracy is?"
"I really don't understand what the scheming the queen is talking about," Li Shimin said calmly: "The queen and I are also well-matched. If this marriage is considered a scheming, then it is also a scheming between me and the queen. All marriages in the royal family are also considered to be scheming.
It's a conspiracy. So, people from the royal family can't get married?"
"Your Majesty!" Empress Changsun was choked by Li Shimin, and she was so angry that she could not speak. Li Shimin seemed to not want to get involved with her anymore, and before Empress Changsun could say anything, she said it herself: "If the empress feels that the seniority is different,
, I have also thought about it. Let’s just discuss it on its own terms. I am not a rigid person, and Li Mu is neither. I don’t think there is anything wrong with this matter.”
"You clearly know that Li Mu is probably Li Jiancheng's son!" Empress Changsun finally failed to recognize it and exposed Li Shimin's thoughts: "You want to use this move to block the suspicion of the world. If Li Mu's daughter marries Jin
King, then Li Mu cannot be Li Chengqian's son, at least in the eyes of the world!"
Empress Changsun became more and more angry as she talked: "But what if he is? He probably is! If he is, then his daughter will be blood related to the child slave. How can blood relatives get married? You still say it's not for power?"
Your Majesty, why is this happening?"
"Why is this so?" After being exposed, Li Shimin stopped hiding it and said: "I'm here to tell you, why is this so!" He stretched out his hand and pointed out, saying: "Look at this world, the world is so...
My world? My decrees do not leave Chang'an! Local nobles do not respect kings! Unless I use force, no one in this world will listen to me! Is this world still my world?"
"The civil and military officials in this dynasty all have their own agendas. Not for profit, but for fame and reputation! Even your brother and my brother-in-law are not of the same mind as me! Who else can I rely on?"
These words seemed to have been held in Li Shimin's heart for a long time, and he was finally released: "It's Li Mu, he made me see that this situation can be changed. He is doing it, and it is starting to work! He can force all the powerful people to retreat.
He can make the New Deal be implemented. He can think of building roads to connect Chang'an and Luoyang. He can use this method to force those merchants to pay commercial taxes! More importantly, he is not for anyone! There is no family behind him, nor
There is no honor, he is not even for himself, not for me, he is for the Tang Dynasty and for the people!"
"How can I not reuse such a person?" Li Shimin didn't know who he was angry with, and slammed the table: "But I can't believe him, even though I know that he has no desire to covet the world, but I
I can’t believe him. So, I must think of a way to make me believe him. This way can only be marriage!"
"You said that he might be the eldest brother's child, but there is no evidence now!" Li Shimin's eyes were blazing: "I don't want to pursue it anymore. Even if he is, in my heart, he is not. He must not be, and he must not be! This way
Doing this is good for me, Li Mu, and the world! Queen, do you understand my painstaking efforts?"
Empress Changsun had no way to refute. From a profit perspective, Li Shimin did the right thing. But she still couldn't accept that the young man in white robes, silver armor, bright clothes and angry horses in her memory had become what he is today.
He is obviously not like this.
Empress Changsun smiled sadly, turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, her body swayed, staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground. Li Shimin hurried over and saw Empress Changsun's face ashen. Knowing that she had another headache, she felt extremely guilty.
.
"Come here, go and invite Liu Shenwei!"
Divine Doctor Sun was away, so he had to use his apprentice first.
…
Li Shimin's decree was sent directly to Luoyang by the eunuchs under Gao Eunuch's staff without going through Zhongshu Province.
"The imperial edict says: I heard that the Marquis of Luoyang got a daughter, and I and the queen are very pleased to hear it. The Imperial Heavenly Supervisor reported that the Marquis of Luoyang's beloved daughter is destined to be indescribably precious. She is a match made by heaven and earth for the King of Jin. She is the beauty of a beautiful woman, especially
Betroth her to the King of Jin as his concubine. When the marriage is completed in the year of hairpin, I admire this. Announcements at home and abroad are made, and the envoys of Xian hear about it. I admire this——"
After the young eunuch finished reading the edict, he handed the imperial edict to Li Mu and said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to the Marquis, congratulations to the Marquis. The King of Jin is your Majesty's legitimate son, and he is extremely precious. Your Majesty is so kind to the Marquis, but no one can compare with him."
."
"Isn't this nonsense?" Li Mu frowned, but did not accept the order. The little eunuch was stunned. He had seen the world and had delivered orders dozens of times. This was the first time he had seen someone who did not accept the order.
.Not to mention seeing it, just hearing about it, never heard of it.
What did you hear just now? Did the Marquis of Luoyang say that His Majesty was fooling around?
"Master Hou, take the order, take the order——"
"No!" Li Mu not only didn't mean to raise his hand, but put it behind his back: "Excuse me, please report back to Your Majesty. I would like to thank Your Majesty for your love, but the marriage is definitely not feasible. After all, I am Your Majesty.
As sons and nephews, I am the same generation as the King of Jin. Speaking of the King of Jin, he is still the uncle of my daughter. How can uncles and nephews intermarry?"
The young eunuch hurriedly said, "Your Majesty has sent a message, saying that it is up to each individual."
"How can this be done?" Li Mu said righteously: "I, Li Mu, am a student of sages! I will never do anything that violates etiquette!"
"..." The little eunuch was completely confused. How should he answer this? Who among the people in Chang'an doesn't know what kind of virtues you, Li Mu, have, how dare you say that you are a student of sages, and you are not afraid of breaking your tongue?
The little eunuch knows that even if he talks a hundred times, he is no match for Li Mu. Eunuch Gao has already told him before that if you can't say anything, don't say anything and just do what you need to do. The little eunuch remembered this sentence.
, passed his hand forward and said: "Master Marquis, please don't make things difficult for us. There are quite a few of us who deliver orders, and we have never heard of anyone who refuses to accept them. I don't know what to do now. Where is Your Majesty?"
, it’s hard to explain.”
"I don't care if you explain it or not." If Eunuch Gao were to face him, Li Mu might still be able to give him some face, but is he just a little eunuch under him? It would be great if Li Mu could treat him as a human being: "What do you say?
Just say whatever you want, you are just a eunuch who delivers orders. Even if His Majesty wants to express his anger, he cannot express his anger on you!"
After that, he gestured to Li Siwen next to him. Li Siwen took out a gold ingot from his sleeve, threw it to the young eunuch, and said: "This father-in-law, while my eldest brother can still talk to you properly, take this
Just leave as soon as you are rewarded. If you get angry later, a beating on you will be in vain. Your godfather will not fall out with my elder brother because of you."
If it were any other matter, the young eunuch would have left long ago. But this time it was different. He came here with an edict, which had a different meaning. If he took the edict back, he would not be able to bear the crime. On one side, he would be beaten;
If he died, he would have no choice but to be beaten.
The young eunuch fell to his knees on the ground, hugging Li Mu's thigh without letting go, and cried: "Master Marquis, please don't make things difficult for me. If I take the imperial edict back, I will definitely not survive. Since the Tang Dynasty, we have
, I have never heard of anyone not accepting the imperial edict. Lord Marquis, please do well and accept this imperial edict."
"I won't accept it. If I say I won't accept it, I won't accept it!" Li Mu kicked the young eunuch away and said, "Can't I do things that no one else does? I didn't do it before, but now I won't accept it.
, so what can you do? Your Majesty is so old and confused, how can you be such a matchmaker? My daughter was just three days old, and I didn’t even think of a name, so she got married now? Impossible! Before she gets hairpins, no one will marry her.
Your Majesty can't do anything to attack my daughter. I can listen to your Majesty on anything, but this is the only thing I would rather die than surrender!"
The little eunuch was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, but Li Siwen was so happy that he said nonchalantly: "Brother said it well, how can the eldest niece marry casually? She has to wait until I have a son to marry my son."
"Bah!" Li Mu scolded: "You give birth to your son first, and don't get close to me. My daughter has to marry someone as powerful as her father. If your son doesn't have this ability, there's no way he can even think about it!"
"Brother!" Li Siwen shouted: "That's not what you said before. I remember you promised me when we were in Dingxiang."
"It was before, and now is now. How did I know that I could give birth to a daughter before?"
Seeing the two people bickering, the little eunuch really cried. This is beyond the law. Don't you care about His Majesty's imperial edict? He said, "I won't answer it. If you say I won't answer it, I won't answer it!" Li Mu kicked the little eunuch
He kicked away and said: "Can't I do things that no one else does? I didn't do it before, but now I don't accept it, so what can I do? Your Majesty is so old and confused. How can you protect a matchmaker like this? My daughter
She was just three days old and I didn’t even think of a name, so I’m getting married now? Impossible! No one can have any idea of my daughter until she is born, and Your Majesty is not able to do anything. I can listen to Your Majesty on anything.
Yes, but this is the only thing I would rather die than surrender!"
The little eunuch was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, but Li Siwen was so happy that he said nonchalantly: "Brother said it well, how can the eldest niece marry casually? She has to wait until I have a son to marry my son."
"Bah!" Li Mu scolded: "You give birth to your son first, and don't get close to me. My daughter has to marry someone as powerful as her father. If your son doesn't have this ability, there's no way he can even think about it!"
"Brother!" Li Siwen shouted: "That's not what you said before. I remember you promised me when we were in Dingxiang."
"It was before, and now is now. How did I know that I could give birth to a daughter before?"
Seeing the two people bickering, the little eunuch really cried. This is beyond the law. Don't you care about His Majesty's imperial edict? He said, "I won't answer it. If you say I won't answer it, I won't answer it!" Li Mu kicked the little eunuch
Knocking, said: "No one Assad Ada Ada Adaad Assad Ada A Da
