Regarding the proposal to restore Li Ke's title of prince, Li Shimin was very happy.

First, he felt a little indebted to Li Ke, and he should compensate him.

Second, he wanted to take this opportunity to raise Li Tai's title as well. Among these princes, Li Shimin's favorite since he was a child was Li Tai. Looking at the face of Empress Changsun, he also wanted to do the same.

For Li You, he doesn't like it from the bottom of his heart. Li You's mother, Concubine Yin, didn't have any status in Li Shimin's heart, so he didn't consider Li You.

For the abolished prince Li Chengqian, Li Shimin felt a little sympathetic in his heart. But he committed the crime of rebellion, and Li Shimin had no choice but to give up.

The commemoration of Li Shimin's enthronement celebration was a major event for the whole country to celebrate, coupled with the complete victory of the war against the Goguryeo people. Taking this opportunity, Li Shimin announced that Li Ke's title of prince was restored, and Li Tai was promoted to the king of Changzhou.

As for Li Tai's title, he is ready to find another opportunity in the future to restore his princely title.

In fact, there are many people who oppose this matter, but at this time when the whole world is celebrating, no one dares to give Li Shimin eye medicine. As a result, Li Shimin achieved his goal very smoothly.

Taiji hall side hall,

On this day, Li Shimin hosted a banquet to entertain the envoys of various countries who came to meet the court, and among the 27 countries that came to meet him, 22 were countries belonging to the Tang Dynasty and five were friendly countries.

The five friendly countries are Chenla, Tianzhu, Tibet, Persia and Dawan.

Attending the meeting were Li Shimin's princes and the main ministers of the Tang Dynasty.

At the beginning of the meeting, the envoys of the subject countries first met with His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. As envoys of vassal countries, when they meet Li Shimin, they have to perform the courtesy of kings and ministers.

Next, there are the envoys of friendly countries, see Li Sheng. According to the etiquette of their respective countries, they exchanged etiquette with Li Shimin as equal countries.

During this period, the princes and ministers attending the banquet were carefully examining the envoys of these countries. They found that among the envoys of these countries, they basically brought young and beautiful women, and they were all princesses.

After enjoying the singing and dancing performance, it was time for everyone to speak freely.

These countries who participated in the banquet, when they came to Chang'an, had already felt along the way that the territory of the Tang Dynasty was huge, rich and developed. Especially after arriving in Chang'an, I was even more shocked by the prosperity of Chang'an.

Over the years, the Tang Dynasty recovered the Western Regions, pacified the grasslands, conquered Linyi and Goguryeo, and even the Persian Empire ceded a large territory to the Tang Dynasty, and no one doubted that the Tang Dynasty had a strong military force.

Therefore, these countries tried their best to establish good relations with the Tang Dynasty.

Songtsen Gampo, the king of Tibet, also came to Chang'an in person this time, and he also came to marry. Unlike in history, he originally asked to marry Li Shimin's daughter, Princess Wencheng. When he came this time, he brought his sister Princess Mingzhu with him.

After a while of pleasantries, the conversation turned to marriage.

The envoy of King Seondeok and Queen Jindeman of Silla, because this was the most powerful in the process of conquering Goguryeo, effectively cooperated with the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expeditionary Army. He felt that he had a lot of credit and had face in front of Li Shimin, so he first said:

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Silla, as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, has always had a close relationship with the Tang Dynasty, and Queen Seondeok of the Kingdom of China is willing to be close to His Majesty the Emperor.

The minister came this time to accompany Her Royal Highness Princess Soon-hee, Queen Seondeok's most beloved, hoping to marry His Majesty the Emperor's prince. ”

As he spoke, he asked Princess Junhime, who was sitting beside him, to stand up. He said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, this is Princess Shun Ji. Her Royal Highness the princess is smart and good-looking, and has studied Han culture since she was a child, and she is friendly with the Tang Dynasty, and she will definitely be able to get closer to the friendly relationship between Silla and the Tang Dynasty. I would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor for marriage. ”

Seeing the practice of the Silla envoys, everyone followed the same example, and they all took their own country princesses. Introduced again.

These princesses are really outstanding.

Li Ke, Li Tai and Li Zhi were all pleasantly surprised, and their eyes were straight. They all pondered in their hearts: This is good, I want to marry. That's not bad, but let's go for it.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Li Shimin was extremely satisfied. Thinking about the back then, the Tang Dynasty was suffering from internal and external troubles, and he was forced to take his daughter by Xue Yantuo, and the kind of humiliation and helplessness formed a stark contrast with the glory in front of him.

He was very happy, let Li Ke, Li Tai and Li Zhi stand up, and said, "These are my sons, see for yourselves, which one do you like?" ”

Unexpectedly, everyone watched it for a long time and asked, "Your Majesty the Emperor, don't you have a son who is a prince?" ”

This made Li Shimin's other three sons a little embarrassed.

Li Zhi and Li Su have a close relationship and feel that it doesn't matter. Li Ke's heart was slightly sour, but he could still accept it. Li Tai's heart was very dissatisfied and full of jealousy.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "I also have a son, Li Su, who is the current crown prince. However, he has been in poor health recently and did not come today. ”

Someone asked, "What is the illness of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" What he meant by this was just a gesture of concern, a polite remark.

Li Zhi said: "My sixth brother, His Royal Highness the Prince, he said that he will not participate in the matter of kissing, he is not in good health." ”

Li Shimin was a little strange, and said in his heart: "My health is not good, what does it have to do with my relatives?" ”

He asked, "What's wrong with the prince?" Why can't you kiss? ”

Li Zhi said: "Brother the prince said, he can't do it with his waist, he already has six wives and concubines in the family, and he can't marry any more wives." ”

As soon as his words came out, Li Shimin suddenly felt very embarrassed, and said in his heart: "What is this called?" The waist is not good! Could it be that my son Li Shimin is a wasted person? Isn't that right? This kid is alive and well, and there are six wives and concubines in the family, four of whom have children, or are pregnant, what is the waist not good? ”

Li Shimin pondered there, and those who asked for relatives also pondered. Before coming to Chang'an, they inquired that the future prince of the Tang Dynasty was outstanding in talent and had a high prestige in the Tang Dynasty. Everyone basically came for him.

However, Li Zhi, the king of Jin in the Tang Dynasty, said that his waist was not good. Is he a waste?

If this is the case, the princess of his own country cannot marry him, but he cannot wronged the princesses.

As a result, the princesses of various countries began to turn their attention to the three princes, Li Ke, Li Tai and Li Zhi.

At this time, Li Shimin said: "In this way, which of them do you like, tell Tang Fei of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then we will discuss it specifically."

Among these kings, the Khan of Tuyu Hun Nuo had a personal relationship with the crown prince Li Su. After the banquet was over, he came to the East Palace to visit Li Su.

After the greetings, Nuo Haobo asked, "Brother, why did you get that kind of disease?" If needed, we have a home remedy for Tugu. ”
