Chapter 44: Honorary Titles
When Li Tai woke up, he found that he was sleeping in the palace.
Well, the surrounding environment is still somewhat familiar, and his mother is looking at him with a smile not far away.
Daddy still has a stinky face, as if someone owes him millions.
"Hmph, finally willing to wake up?" Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, I really want to beat this stupid son hard.
After a drink, you have three knighthoods.
Who do you think you are? Is it the Emperor?
Even if he is an emperor, he is not so arrogant!
"Daddy, why am I here?" Li Tai is still confused, shouldn't he be fighting with Lao Cheng? What will be here?
"Hmph, you're embarrassed to ask!" Li Shimin really hates that iron can't become steel, why did he give birth to such a dull son?
"Dad, if you don't say it, I naturally don't know, if you don't say it, I'll have to sleep a lot." Li Tai said, and he was about to fall asleep.
You are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you can say it if you like it, and I can't help it if you don't say it.
I'd better go ahead and get some sleep.
Li Tai is fearless.
Li Shimin is his current father, even if he is angry and itchy, he will not pimp himself. Li Tai remembers it clearly, and Li Shimin was quite fond of Li Tai in history.
"You ......" Seeing Li Tai playing Laipi, Li Shimin suddenly felt powerless.
At the same time, I am very happy in my heart, this is my son.
Since Li Shimin became the emperor, he found that his sons and daughters were not close to him.
Why is Princess Gaoyang, who is a concubine the most favored in history?
Because Gao Yang can play tricks, and he loves to play a little temper.
Li Shimin has to coax this little temper.
Coax and coax, and it becomes natural.
"Okay, okay, you've been angry all day, so don't be angry with you anymore." Empress Eldest Sun glanced at Cheng Chubi, her eyes were full of tenderness.
"Mother, it's not that I want to be angry with my father, it's him who is angry with himself, hey, Dad, let me tell you a word, being angry is to punish yourself for other people's mistakes!" Li Tai said with a heartfelt expression.
"You...... You ...... "Li Shimin is really angry."
This bear child, it seems that he can't do it if he doesn't fight.
"Dad, what's going on?"
"Hmph, are you too embarrassed to ask?"
"Why am I embarrassed to ask?" Li Tai was puzzled.
"Yesterday, did you eat wine at Cheng's house?" Li Shimin asked.
"Well, go, this Cheng family is too stingy, the wine is not good, the meat is still greasy and greasy, and there is no taste at all." Li Tai said.
"Then what did you promise the Cheng family?" Li Shimin said.
"I promised, the daughter of the Cheng family can't marry in the future, I'll cover it, Dad, Uncle Cheng looks like that, his daughter is really difficult to marry, so I will contribute to the peaceful society of Datang and dedicate my precious strength." Li Tai said with a smile: "I have inherited the fine tradition of your father." ”
"What else?" Li Shimin was almost angry and thunderous.
Carrying on my good traditions? Well, the people of the old Li family do like beautiful women.
Li Shimin has many women, many of whom are still the wives and daughters of the enemy's family, and there are more than 20 records in history, and there are even more that are not recorded.
"No, I'm not interested in men, don't worry, Dad." Li Tai said.
"Humph! Feel relieved? How can you rest assured that your name is me? Cheng Yanjin has already entered the palace to ask for a knighthood, how can you tell me to rest assured? Li Shimin was very angry.
"You're just a prince, so what qualifications do you have? Yes? Tell me, what right do you have to give titles to others? I'm not dead yet! Li Shimin was very angry.
"Dad, are you stupid or am I stupid? Do you believe the words of the old fairy Cheng? Do you think I'm going to give someone a knighthood? I'm not stupid enough to be that stupid. Li Tai couldn't help but roll his eyes.
I'm ambitious, but I'm not stupid.
You haven't hung up yet, the lame brother hasn't been abolished yet, I'll give you a hairy title.
Hearing Li Tai's words, Li Shimin's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
What the? Could it be that I was deceived by Cheng Biting Jin?
"Hmph, this Cheng biting gold, Cheng biting gold, dared to deceive my head, it's very hateful, it's very hateful!"
"Dad, Cheng Yanjin has a nickname, haven't you heard of it?"
"What's the nickname?"
"Old Fairy Cheng!" Li Tai said.
"This old goblin, what a goblin!" Li Shimin was also helpless, he even deceived me, and he succeeded, which made Li Shimin very helpless.
It seems that there is no honest man in this court!
"Dad, you're not going to be knighted, are you?" Li Tai asked weakly.
"Huh? Am I that gullible person? Li Shimin said.
A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Li Tai's mouth: "Actually, it's okay to make a knighthood, Dad, isn't the treasury very poor recently?" Have you ever thought about exchanging a knighthood for money? ”
"Huh?" Li Shimin's brows furrowed tightly, then he shook his head and said, "No, if money can buy a knighthood, who else will expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty in the future?" Who else will guard the frontier in the Tang Dynasty? ”
"Dad, this title made with meritorious service is not the same as the title bought with money, the title established by meritorious service is a real title, but this title bought with money is called an honorary title." Li Tai said with a smile: "There is only a name, no rights, no fiefdom, and no food." ”
"Moreover, this title cannot be passed on to others, it can only be owned by oneself, and when it is dead, the state can take it back." Li Tai said with a smile, no matter how you look at it, you think it is a small profiteer.
"This ...... Who would be willing? Li Shimin was a little moved.
Country, lack of money!
"People, don't you fight all your life for fame and fortune? Especially the merchants, whose status is low, if they can get a false name now, I am afraid that those merchants will rush to it. The smile on Li Tai's face became even stronger.
Don't underestimate a false name, many people struggle all their lives just for a false name!
"Well, you can think about it." Li Shimin stroked his beard and said.
Historically, Li Shimin's beard was large and quite long.
The ancients believed that a large and long beard was a form of beauty.
History records that Li Shimin's beard was able to hang a large bow.
The father and son began to plan, and Li Shimin was really happy in his heart.
Datang now needs money everywhere, and it is impossible to govern the country without money.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
At this time, the sound of coughing sounded one after another, and then I saw the eldest grandson queen covering her heart, coughing constantly, and her face was pale.
