In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Empress Changsun were discussing matters about the prince's wedding.

Suddenly, a small yellow door came to report everything about the East Palace.

It's the scene just now.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shimin asked, "What! People from more than three hundred states in ten provinces have gone to the East Palace? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! There are nearly a thousand people! ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin's face was a little unsightly, and the local officials all ran to the East Palace, and he, the emperor, was a little bit of that.

But he didn't want to think about it, it was Li Chengqian's wedding and not his wedding, people didn't go there to congratulate, did they want to come to wish him a happy wedding?

"What are they going to do?"

"Your Majesty, they said they were going to give gifts to congratulate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on his new marriage!"

Gift-giving may seem commonplace, but it's not ordinary.

"Did Gao Ming accept it?"

Empress Eldest Sun asked anxiously.

This can't be collected, once it is collected, it is blocked by the muzzle.

Li Shimin has been very strict about gift-giving recently.

Xiao Huangmen hurriedly said: "Her Royal Highness the Queen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not accept it, but asked the ministers to go back earlier, and said ......"

"Say what?"

Li Shimin asked.

"He said that letting the ministers do a good job of serving the people is the best gift to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

This is really full of words.

"Hahaha! Sure enough, it's my son! ”

Li Shimin laughed after hearing this.

Empress Changsun also breathed a sigh of relief, if the gift was really accepted, Li Chengqian would probably be blamed, he confiscated it, and said such a compelling word, saying anything would make people feel gratified.

長孙女 says:

"It's my Datang luck that Gao Ming can do this! Over the past year or so, Gao Ming has done a lot for the locality, and it is reasonable for them to come to congratulate him on his wedding. ”

There is nothing wrong with that, because some of Li Chengqian's reforms have benefited a large number of people, especially the refugees, because there is no famine, there are basically no refugees.

Local officials are also having a better life, but in the past, they would have to live with their heads hanging every day, because they could lose their posts at any time because of a refugee disaster, and even lose their heads in serious cases.

This is basically not the case now.

And in terms of taxes, it is also done well.

The income is high, the tax is naturally high, and this year is also the first year that the treasury is surplus, so Li Shimin feels relaxed, for many years, the treasury of Datang has been in deficit for many years, and now this good situation makes him very happy.

Therefore, if people don't look for Li Chengqian to express their gratitude, then they can't talk about it.

Du Ruhui also said:

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is dedicated to the people, and the people are also blessed! In the past year, we have indeed done a lot of great things. As far as the minister knows, there are also non-governmental forces that spontaneously organized to celebrate the prince's wedding, especially to praise His Majesty. There are also ballads among the people, saying that the Tang Dynasty is prosperous in Zhenguan, and His Majesty's crown prince has made great contributions! ”

Li Shimin did not show a trace of unhappiness, but said:

"This is the desire of the people, and Gao Ming has done a really good job! I believe that after having the crown princess, he should work harder! ”

Fang Xuanling took the initiative to say at this time: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks, why not take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a model and promote clean government!?" ”

Li Chengqian's behavior can already be used as a good example for Datang, and he should be regarded as a model.

Regarding this point, Li Shimin said:

"I thought it was okay! Spread my will, and Datang will implement clean government in the future! Increase accountability for corruption! Make Datang more beautiful! ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The crowd shouted.

Li Shimin thought of something again, so he said again: "Come on, let Gao Ming come over!" I'm looking for him! ”

Someone went to invite Li Chengqian, and after a while, Li Chengqian came to the Taiji Palace.

"Sons and daughters meet Your Majesty and Queen Mother!"

He saluted.

"Come on, come on, Gao Ming, it's your wedding day in two days, I want to have a big fight, what do you need, do your best to tell me!"

It is rare for Li Shimin to say with such high interest.

Li Chengqian thought that Li Shimin might have intended to ask this, but no matter what, he said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that everything is simple, and there is no need to work for the people and lose money!" ”

Li Shimin did not agree.

"How's that going to work? This is the first big wedding! And there is only one crown princess! This involves the face of Datang, and there are all countries to congratulate, so it has to be more pompous to say anything!"

This is related to Datang's face, and it should be made bigger than anything, so that the surrounding countries can also perceive the strength of Datang.

"Yes! Gao Ming, Your Majesty is right, and I think it's the same! ”

Empress Eldest Sun also said.

Li Chengqian didn't want to say anything, when it came to the issue of face, there was nothing to say.

It's also good if you have a big face this time and show off your muscles.

He just said: "Then everything is up to Your Majesty's arrangement!" It's just that Erchen feels the need to do a few things! ”

"Huh? What is it? ”

The crowd was amazed.

"First, there must be fireworks!"

"Of course! I also want to give amnesty to the world! And what about the second? ”

From the previous amnesty to the world, it was Li Zhi who was born.

And this time the prince marries a wife, and he will be pardoned again.

That's enough face for Li Chengqian.

It is also necessary for all the people to enjoy together, and this scale can even be compared to when Li Shimin ascended the throne.

"Second, since there are all nations to congratulate, then we have to hold a military parade! The musket team must participate, and the artillery team must also participate, so that all countries know that the strength of my Datang is not something they can catch up with! Maybe they'll join me, maybe Datang! ”

Since you want to save face, you have to do these things even more, show off your muscles, and let everyone know the strength of Datang.

Li Chengqian is not afraid of technology leakage, why? Because he updates so quickly, even if the enemy obtains their technology, it is still old technology, and in the end it will still be beaten.

"I couldn't agree more! Why not? ”

Li Shimin said approvingly, this is something he did not expect.

With the prince's wedding, it turned out that so many things could be done. That's something that no one expected.

"What else, let's talk about it together!"

"No, just two things!"

These two points are enough, what more?

"Well, I'll think about it again, and join directly if I need to!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thanks for what? You are my son, everything is done, and my face is bright! Haha"

For Li Chengqian, but also for himself, this is Li Shimin's calculation in his heart.

Li Shimin pointed to the ministers and said: "Okay, Gao Ming, all the details will be handled by them, you just need to be your groom official well!" ”

Having said that, there are some things that Li Chengqian still has to deal with, after all, there are some things that cannot be lost.

He also said, "Yes......"
