After a long time, the princess looked aggrieved, and said pitifully: "During the day today, the eldest grandson's sister-in-law told me this, and now I ask you to come to the second brother, but I can't imagine that the second brother will say the same." ”

Li Shimin's face was very iron-clad, he reached out and gently poked Princess Gaomi's forehead, and scolded: "Can you learn from Xiuning?" Do you see how Xiuning does it? In order to help Gu Tianya solve the problem of the fate of the Han girl, she took the initiative to make a Han girl a concubine in the back house of the Hui family. Isn't Xiuning a woman? Doesn't she want to enjoy Gu Tianya's favor alone? She must have thought about it, but she is Gu Tianya's wife, and as a wife, she has to be generous......"

As he spoke, he glared at Princess Gaomi again, and said, "Look at you again, you are also the wife of a big family, but Duan Lun is such a daughter-in-law as you, I think that fat man has been planted in this life." ”

Princess Gaomi bowed her head in disdain, and said stupidly: "I'm not the third sister of Xiuning, and a woman like her may not be able to have one in a few hundred years." Forget it, second brother, don't get angry, at most I don't ask you, sister, I'll go back and solve this matter myself......"

Li Shimin suddenly smiled coldly and said: "If my guess is correct, I am afraid that you have already made two preparations, first of all, you came to the palace to ask your eldest grandson and sister-in-law to help you push off Duan Lun's task, if it doesn't work, you will come to me here to make noise, but you actually know that neither your eldest grandson nor sister-in-law can agree to you, so you still have a second preparation, that is, to restrict Duan Lun and the Han girl round house, right?" ”

Princess Gaomi was stunned for a moment, and a trace of panic appeared on her face.

Li Shimin snorted and said, "Hugh blames me, as the second brother, to remind you that the matter of a hundred officials marrying a Han girl has been set as a national policy. The Manchu Dynasty civil and military not only want to marry Han women, but also have the task of letting Han women give birth, only in this way, can you lead the people, your man is the Ministry of Works, one of the six departments of the court, he has no escape in this matter, according to the rank of at least five Han women. ”

After a slight pause as he spoke, his tone suddenly became heavier, and he sneered: "If you don't care about Duan Lun's position as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, then I can help you undo his task." But the official position must also be removed at the same time, and from now on he will be idle at home, anyway, your family is already rich and flowing, and it is not inferior to Duan Lun's little bit of the Ministry of Works......"

Princess Gaomi was stunned at first, then spoke in a hurry, and said again and again: "Second brother, second brother, sister is wrong, isn't it okay to be wrong?" I won't stop this matter anymore, just marry a few Duan Lun. ”

"It's not enough not to stop it!"

Li Shimin's tone was still very heavy, and he continued: "As the wife of the Duan family, you have the responsibility to treat the Han girl who marries home. Your man is chubby, but he's in good shape, so you know what to do......"

Princess Gaomi's face was full of helplessness, and she sighed and said, "Are the five Han girls who married back all pregnant?" In that case, I am afraid that it will not be completed in a while. ”

Li Shimin hesitated slightly, and said with a slight relief: "At least two Han girls need to be pregnant, this is a task that the Shangshu level must achieve." ”

"Okay, I'll force him to have a snack." Princess Gaomi looked stunned.

Empress Eldest Sun had been watching coldly, and only then did she laugh softly, and was about to appease Princess Gaomi, when suddenly there was a fluttering sound outside.

The imperial study is an important place in the harem, how can you allow the sound to be made on weekdays? So the three people in the room were all shocked, and their eyes couldn't help but look at the door of the room.

The sound that can be outside the imperial study, and it is still a fluttering sound, can only be one, that is, birds pass books.

Empress Eldest Sun almost didn't think about it, and blurted out directly: "I'll just say, Xiuning will definitely have a letter." ”

The Tang Dynasty currently has ten Dao, and each of them raises birds, although they all raise birds, but they are not qualified to directly pass on the book to the emperor.

If there is an urgent matter that needs to be reported, the birds released will fly to Zhongshu Province, one of the three provinces, and then the Zhongshu Province will determine whether to disturb the emperor immediately according to the priority.

If it is urgent, it must be sent to the palace immediately.

But if it's not too urgent, then leave it until the next morning.

Therefore, looking at the whole world, only Li Xiuning's bird biography is allowed to fly directly to the palace.

In the past, it was flown to the founding emperor Li Yuan, and now it is flown to the new generation of emperor Li Shimin.

This is Li Xiuning's privilege, and it is also the privilege of the Youyun Gu clan.

……

Soon a guard outside the imperial study announced, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, there are birds from the north." ”

Li Shimin glanced at Empress Changsun and found that the queen had no intention of leaving, and then looked at Princess Gaomi and found that her sister-in-law also had expectations on her face.

Li Shimin hesitated slightly, and finally beckoned to the door, saying: "Xiuning's birds are generally family letters, and if they involve government affairs, they will use the Red Feather Urgency." So, this must be a family letter. Send it in, and I'll read the letter with the palace. ”

Everyone knew that this was just an excuse, and the intention was nothing more than to let Empress Eldest Sun and Princess Gaomi stay in the imperial study. The guard outside was so clever that he could be confused about such a thing, so the guard didn't say anything, and respectfully sent in the bamboo tube for the bird to pass the book.

The fire paint on the bamboo tube is still there.

Li Shimin was obviously a little anxious, and said directly: "Bake the fire paint and take out the letter." ”

The guard agreed, and pulled out a fire fold and lit it.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun raised their feet together, and Princess Gaomi in the back also subconsciously stepped forward, the three of them stared at the bamboo tube without blinking, and said almost at the same time: "I don't know what Xiuning's letter wrote?" Could it be about Gu Tianya's marriage to a Han girl? ”

……

The fire paint on the bamboo tube quickly roasted, and the guard carefully took out a ball of silk from it.

Li Shimin stretched out his hand and grabbed it, then waved his hand at the guard, and said lightly: "There's nothing for you here, go out and take people around......"

The guard lowered his eyebrows, as if he didn't see the eldest grandson queen and the princess Gaomi in the imperial study at all, but he didn't forget to salute when he withdrew, obviously a person who did everything well.

Li Shimin stared at the back of the guards and went out, and then said with appreciation: "Li Chong's temperament can be of great use." ”

Empress Changsun chuckled lightly on the side, and said with the same feeling: "After all, he is also a descendant of the royal family, and he can be regarded as a leader in the third generation." ”

Li Shimin nodded, suddenly frowned and said: "It's a pity that this kid also has a problem, that is, he always wants to go to Youzhou, saying that he wants to study with Gu Tianya, so that he can be a great commander of the Hundred Cavalry Division with both civil and military skills in the future......"

Empress Eldest Sun was noncommittal about this matter, but just stretched out her finger and pointed to the letter in Li Shimin's hand, urging: "Your Majesty, hurry up and take a look, what did Xiuning write?" It's been a while since we've heard from her. ”

Li Shimin let out a 'hmm' and slowly spread the silk silk.

As far as they could see, they were stunned for a moment, but it turned out that the handwriting on it surprised the three of them that this letter was not sent by Li Xiuning.

It was written by Gu Tianya.

In the first sentence of the letter, the tone is very aggrieved:

"Second brother, I didn't sleep with a girl, this matter is purely the handiwork of Brother Jiancheng and Zhaoning, second brother, you have to be careful, eldest brother and Zhaoning are still eyeing you, I guess, you can't run away......"

Li Shimin subconsciously sighed, and said helplessly: "My stupid brother-in-law, you asked me to be careful too late, I don't need my eldest brother and Zhaoning to make a move at all, I have been targeted by Wei Zheng in the court." I, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, hey, not much stronger than your Lord of the Clouds, are all unlucky, and they are all stared at......"
