Chapter 786 - Giving Gifts is a Technical Work

The last revision of the law of the Tang Dynasty was in the early years of Zhenguan.

Moreover, I don't know if it is an ancient precedent or Li Shimin's request, no matter what laws are established, they cannot be changed for 20 years.

Twenty years of bullshit can't be changed! Not to mention that the laws set by Datang in the early years are not comprehensive at all, even the development speed of Datang today cannot be changed in 20 years!

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Revise the law? This is not a trivial matter, and it is not even something that I can decide alone, and it will have to be discussed by the Great Court. ”

Leng Feng couldn't help but pout.

He was sure that after Li Shimin proposed to change the law, the courtiers would raise their hands and feet to agree.

The law in the early years of Zhenguan was so loophole that the subsequent emperors and ministers had to temporarily add some regulations.

This also led officials to conclude the case, not first considering how the law was stipulated, but first thinking about whether the emperor had issued similar legal requirements over the years. If so, what was the last one like.

Rather than standing up there, such a law should be toppled and re-established.

"Try it, maybe the courtiers agree."

As he spoke, Leng Feng took the jade pendant and threw it in the palm of his hand.

Li Shimin looked at the jade pendant and could only nod: "Yes, what about the other two requirements?" ”

He wanted Leng Feng to run out all at once, only in this way could he put his mind at ease.

Seeing that Li Shimin agreed, Leng Feng put away the jade pendant: "The other two will be talked about later, I don't have anything suitable for you for the time being." ”

"Okay."

Li Shimin stood up and left Li Chengqian's study.

After Li Shimin left, Li Chengqian asked, "Master, in the matter of revising the law, you don't need to waste an opportunity to ask your father." ”

Although Leng Feng and Li Shimin did not explain, they had already guessed with Li Chengqian's cleverness.

Leng Feng took out the jade pendant and said with a smile: "It's not a waste, in fact, the important thing is not to revise the law, but that your father can't interfere in this article during the revision process." Your father, the emperor, will do bad things a lot of the time. ”

Li Shimin has a strong sense of centralization, which leads him to be paranoid in some things. In fact, this is not conducive to the revision of the law.

Patting Li Chengqian's shoulder, Leng Feng stood up and said, "You're going to get married tomorrow, I don't think you're a little nervous. ”

Li Chengqian nodded: "Please, it's Di Renjie, that kid is clever and can talk with his mouth, he is very suitable." ”

With Di Renjie accompanying Li Chengqian, coupled with Li Chengqian's identity, at least no one will make it difficult for him on the way to greet his relatives.

Leng Feng put his mind at ease and went back downstairs to prepare the gift money.

When the apprentice gets married, he, as a master, naturally can't drop the chain.

The next day, Leng Feng entered the palace very early.

The prince's wedding is still different from the marriage of the common people.

It was not so much a wedding banquet as a state banquet, after all, most of the people who attended the prince's wedding were courtiers.

Rows of ceremonial burdens blocked the palace gates, so that the officials who recorded the gift list in the East Palace could only shift their positions and divert the flow to the various palace gates.

If nothing else, Li Chengqian is the future emperor, not to mention, according to the current situation, Li Chengqian is sitting very safely on the crown prince's throne.

It is still necessary to talk about the future emperor, so on this day, many officials who pretended to be poor revealed their families.

Of course, Wei Zheng is naturally not included among these people.

Wei Zheng, who was dressed in an official uniform, did not bring a servant, his sleeves were breezy, and he only held a scroll in his hand.

Relying on his identity, Leng Feng squeezed through the long line and lined up with Wei Zhengcheng and Jinjin and others.

When Wei Chigong saw Leng Feng coming, he leaned over and asked, "Your apprentice is married, you can't be stingy as a master, tell me, what have you prepared?" ”

Gift-giving is a technical job, and the prince's wedding does not mean that it is good with money. Many officials have prepared rare treasures in different ways.

Simply sending money is just a number. If the gift makes the prince happy, it may be remembered.

Leng Feng pointed to the carriage behind him: "A box of gold coins, more than two thousand." ”

"Shhhh

The people who heard the sound before and after all gasped.

Two thousand gold coins, that is, twenty thousand silver coins, catch up with the taxes of a medium-sized state for three or four years.

Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but say: "Grandma's, rich man!" ”

Although they are also very wealthy, they only have two thousand pieces ready.... Silver coin!

Leng Feng completely opened up the gap with them.

In ancient and modern times, it is almost the same, and many people will ask each other.

Seeing that Li Jing was not far away, Leng Feng asked him, "How much have you prepared?" ”

Li Jing turned around and said, "Five thousand." ”

Last year, he just went on an expedition, and everyone knew that he had obtained a lot of property, whether public or private, and it was a bit too much to pretend to be poor at this time.

Seeing that Wei Zheng was also looking at this, Cheng Yanjin laughed and said, "Old man Wei, how much have you prepared?" ”

Ever since Li You called Wei Zheng the old man of Wei, this title has become popular.

Wei Zheng revealed the scroll in his hand: "This." ”

Du Ruhui on the side asked, "Doctor Wei, is it a word or a painting in this scroll?" ”

"Words."

"From whom?"

"I wrote it myself."

As soon as Wei Zheng's words came out, everyone was silent.

Wei Zheng is still as casual as ever, it is obviously the prince's wedding, but he is still so "perfunctory".

However, this is to be expected.

If Wei Zheng really spent a lot of money to get a precious calligraphy and painting, it would be a strange thing.

The team advanced, and it was Wei Zheng's turn.

The official in charge of recording the gift list was not surprised, and recorded the words "Wei Zheng, handwritten one" with an expressionless face.

The team keeps moving.

In fact, from the facial expressions of the officials who recorded the gift list, you can see the preciousness of the ceremony.

Generally, if the official has a blank face, it is specified that it is less than a thousand silver coins, or something of no value; Again, with a smile on his face, it starts at least two thousand silver coins.

This is all to be expected, but what the hell is it that jumps and screams?

The officials in the rear who didn't hear Leng Feng's self-report couldn't help but stagger the line and see the scene in front clearly.

The ceremonial officer trembled and asked, "Lord Protector, are you sure it's two thousand gold coins?" ”

There were too many two thousand silver coins recorded, and the official was afraid that he had heard it wrong.

After all, the Lord Protector is the prince's master, as long as it means something.

"Two thousand gold coins, gold of gold."

Leng Feng couldn't cry or laugh, originally he still thought that two thousand gold coins was a bit less, but now it seems that it may be a bit out of bounds?

"Xia Guan knows."

The official erased out the words he had written out and wrote on a new line the words "Protector of the Prince, 2,000 gold coins".

After writing, the ceremonial official smiled and guided Leng Feng into the palace gate, and also instructed one of his subordinates to help Leng Feng guide the way.

"That's differential treatment."

Walking into the palace gate, Leng Feng heard Wei Zheng's sour words.
