Chapter 250: The dowry is less, and the daughter-in-law is beaten

"Today, this kid is here in the Taiji Hall again, could it be that someone has offended him?" Looking at Li Chengqian, who was sitting next to Li Shimin with his eyes closed, Cheng Yanjin said to Wei Chigong in a low voice.

"Anyway, when I see this kid now, my heart is furious, and I always feel that someone is going to be unlucky." Wei Chigong nodded and said.

While Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong whispered underestimates, Li Shimin also finished handling the affairs of the DPRK and the Central Committee. Just as he was about to announce his retirement from the dynasty, Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said: "Father, the son has something to say to his father. ”

"The prince has something to do with me? This is a very rare thing. Then you should hurry up and tell me and all of you Aiqing what the prince is playing. Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Father Qi, after the original Chang'an County Commander Fu Fa, the post of Chang'an County County Commander has been vacant. Therefore, Erchen is ready to recommend a person to serve as the county magistrate of Chang'an County. Li Chengqian said.

"I don't know who the person you recommend is, and whether he has the ability to serve as the county magistrate of Chang'an County?" Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked Li Chengqian.

"The person recommended by the ministers is called Qi Cun, and he is now waiting for the decree outside the Taiji Palace. As for whether he is qualified to serve as the county magistrate of Chang'an County, his father will naturally know after asking. Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded, and then ordered Wang Dexuan to enter the hall. After a short time, Qi Cun stepped into the Taiji Hall.

Seeing Qi Cun saluting him, Li Shimin said, "Raise your head and let me see you." ”

The moment Qi Cun raised his head, everyone in the court was stunned. Most people were a little surprised because Qi Cun was too ugly.

But there are some people who are not ugly because Qi Cun is ugly, but because Qi Cun looks too similar to an old man. Even Li Shimin was shocked.

And Cheng Yanjin couldn't bear it, and said directly to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty ......"

Before Cheng Yanjin could say anything, Li Shimin said with a smile: "Lu Guogong didn't feel very balanced when he saw that he looked similar to you." ”

Li Shimin's words caused everyone to laugh, and Cheng Yanjin also said with an embarrassed face: "This is a person who cannot be discouraging and the sea cannot be measured." How about my Cheng Biting Jin looking ugly, it's not like killing the enemy on the battlefield for the emperor. ”

"Although Qi Cun is not good-looking, he must have great talent if he can be recommended by the prince. So I think Lao Cheng thinks that the emperor can promise to let him serve as the county magistrate of Chang'an County. ”

"I said Cheng Biting Jin, just because he looks like you. Do you think he can be qualified for the post of county magistrate of Chang'an County? Don't you think that's a bit too child's play? Yu Chigong looked at Cheng Yanjin and said.

Although the dialogue between Cheng Yanjin and Yu Chigong and Li Shimin seems to be joking. But Li Chengqian could see from their expressions that something was wrong.

It's just that Li Chengqian understands in his heart that now is not the time to get to the bottom of it. So he opened his mouth and said to Qi Cun: "You can show you your talent and let them see if you are qualified to serve as the county magistrate of Chang'an County." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know if you can ask this Qi Cun if you have a few questions?" Hou Junji opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian.

Seeing Li Chengqian nodded, Hou Junji asked: "Officials should remember to be honest and honest, I don't know how you can convince the emperor that you can withstand the temptation of money and beauty?" ”

Qi Cun opened his mouth without hesitation and said: "The grass people can promise the emperor that if they accept a bribe of a penny between the grass people's appointments, the grass people will not want this head." ”

Then Hou Junji asked a few more tricky and strange questions, all of which were answered by Qi Cun cleverly. In the end, Hou Junji could only snort coldly and said nothing more.

Inevitably, someone came out to ask Qi Cun some questions about the Four Books and the Five Classics, but the final result was that Qi Cun was not tested.

In the end, Li Shimin nodded and personally accepted Qi Cun as the county magistrate of Chang'an County. and ordered him to go to the county government immediately to take up his post.

……

"Like, it's so like. If I Lao Cheng sees him at night, I have to scare my Lao Cheng half to death. Cheng Yanjin opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

"Even if it looks alike, then you can't say it directly in the Taiji Hall. If the emperor hadn't interrupted you, I would have helped you round it up again. I don't know how you're going to end up. Wei Chigong pursed his lips and said to Cheng Yanjin.

"Can you two stop arguing, let's hear what the emperor thinks about this time." Xu Mao said openly to Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong.

Li Shimin shook his head and said with a sigh: "When I saw him for the first time, I was indeed startled. ”

"But I think it's just a resemblance, not necessarily a blood relationship. After all, there are still many acquaintances in this world. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that this Qi Cun is definitely a tolerant person. Such a person must not be an ordinary person. Therefore, it is better for the emperor to be more vigilant. The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

"Uncles, uncles. Although Hongu doesn't know who he looks like, you may not be exaggerating a little. Li Chengqian, who was on the side, said.

"You kid knows a fart, do you know who he looks like like?" Cheng Yanjin glared at Li Chengqian and said.

"Bengong doesn't know who he looks like, and Bengong wants to know how your dowry is prepared." Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said to Cheng Yanjin.

"It's hard to say about the dowry...... What, what did you kid just say? As soon as Cheng Yanjin was halfway through his words, he opened his eyes and asked Li Chengqian.

"Could it be that Uncle Cheng thinks that this palace is not worthy of your daughter? In that case, then please ask Uncle Cheng to find a time to take your daughter away. Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"You kid thinks beautifully, I've been serving you for more than half a year, and you said you would send me back." Cheng bit Jin's big mouth and said with a smile.

"Then hurry up and prepare the dowry, if the dowry is less at that time, don't blame the palace for beating the daughter-in-law." Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said to Cheng Yanjin.

"Hehe, you kid is a fuel-efficient lamp for my old Cheng's girl. When the time comes, it may not be something you can fight. Cheng Yanjin said with a smug face.

"Looks like we're going to congratulate you, your precious daughter is finally married. Tonight, this Juewei Building, should there be a wine party? Wei Chigong said with a laugh.

"Yes, there has to be. There is one person here who counts, and no one can be absent. If you don't get drunk tonight, you won't go home. Cheng Yanjin said with a laugh.

Then everyone said goodbye to Li Shimin, and then left the Ganlu Hall to drink.

In fact, they understood in their hearts that Li Chengqian's intention to divert the topic was that he didn't want them to talk about it anymore. How can these old fritters of officialdom not understand.
