In the palace and the imperial study, Li Shimin carefully read a copy of the fold, and then said to Ma Zhou, who was standing opposite: "Ma Aiqing, since these people are all people who have made contributions to the expansion of my Tang Dynasty, then rate and reward them according to my Tang Dynasty rules." ”

Ma Zhou bowed his head, and then was about to retreat, but Li Shimin suddenly called out to him: "Ma Aiqing, now that the position of the head of the household is still vacant, do you have a good candidate?" ”

Ma Zhou is from a poor family, he likes to improve the status of the cold scholar, but in this matter, he can still maintain his sanity, and now the prince and the king of Wei are competing for this position, if he recommends a person, then this person is bound to become the target of the prince and the king of Wei, and if the two of them join forces to suppress a person, then this person is afraid that it will be difficult to save his life.

Therefore, after some careful consideration, Ma Zhou bowed down and said: "The minister is in the ministry, but he did not find a particularly suitable person, which is the minister's fault." ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ma Zhou playing clever in front of him: "You, I don't know you yet, okay, I don't mean to blame you, I just ask your opinion, since you don't want to say it, then go." ”

Ma Zhou was a little frightened, but he still hurriedly retreated.

After Ma Zhou left, Li Shimin was left alone in the imperial study, and the names of two people were written on his desk: Hou Junxin and Zhang Liang.

His gaze swept back and forth on these two names for a long time, and after a long time, he suddenly clapped his hands, applause fell, and a man in black suddenly appeared in the imperial study, Li Shimin whispered in the ear of the man in black, and after the man in black understood, he turned over and disappeared into the night that was already a little dim.

There was no morning morning the next day, and Li Shimin slept lazily the next morning because he didn't sleep well at night.

After waking up like this, a eunuch hurriedly greeted him: "Your Majesty, Princess Danyang is asking to see you outside." ”

Li Shimin knew that Princess Danyang had been busy with the promotion of loan bookkeeping recently, but this matter was almost busy, what was Danyang doing when he came to see him so early?

Li Shimin washed up, and then ordered someone to pass Princess Danyang over.

Princess Danyang wore a plain white dress today, and suddenly knelt down when she saw Li Shimin, but Li Shimin was stunned when she saw this, and said, "Danyang, why are you?" ”

Princess Danyang raised her head slightly and said, "Brother Huang, my sister had a dream last night, dreaming that my Tang Dynasty is prosperous, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Hearing that Danyang had such a dream, Li Shimin was overjoyed and said, "This is a good thing, a good thing." ”

Princess Danyang smiled lightly: "My sister also thinks it's a good thing, so I want to go to Sandalwood Temple to make a vow and pray for my Tang Dynasty and the imperial brother." ”

Li Shimin didn't hear anything unusual from Princess Danyang's words, and said, "Okay, I'm ready, I don't know how long you want to stay in Sandalwood Temple?" ”

"It's going to take about a year and a half."

Hearing that he would stay for a year and a half, Li Shimin was suddenly stunned.

"Why did you stay so long?"

"Sincerity is spirituality."

Li Shimin naturally thinks that sincerity is spiritual, but he doesn't really think that it will take a year and a half for Princess Danyang to repay her wishes, thinking of the scandal between Princess Danyang and Tang Zhou before, and Xue Wanche is going to return after destroying Gaochang, Li Shimin suddenly has a very bad premonition.

"Could it be that my sister is happy?"

Li Shimin thought like this, his brows couldn't help but condense together, if this is true, it would be too embarrassing for the Tang Dynasty to spread it, the horse is not there, but the princess is pregnant?

However, although Li Shimin thought so, he didn't ask, just smiled: "It's nothing to go to the Sandalwood Temple to live for a year and a half, I still wish, but I see that your complexion is not very good, before staying in the Sandalwood Temple, it is better to find a famous imperial doctor to take a look at you, otherwise I will be worried." ”

Princess Danyang didn't expect Li Shimin to suddenly make such a request, but she was very smart, knowing that Li Shimin would not ask to check her body for no reason, thinking of Li Shimin's suspicions about herself before, she more or less understood what was going on, but the measures she did with Tang Zhou were very good, and she believed that there would be no problems.

"The royal brother is so good to his courtiers."

Li Shimin smiled, and then ordered someone to send an imperial doctor to him, and the imperial doctor gave Princess Danyang a pulse diagnosis, and after this diagnosis, he said to Li Shimin: "Her Royal Highness the princess is not in serious condition. ”

Seeing this, Li Shimin felt a little relieved, because it was not good to ask the imperial doctor if he had found that Princess Danyang was happy, so he waved his hand to let the imperial doctor leave, after the imperial doctor left, Princess Danyang also proposed to resign and retreat, Li Shimin thought about it and said: "The imperial doctor just said that you are not seriously ill, maybe there is a minor illness, so I will always send people to care for you in the future." ”

Princess Danyang saw that Li Shimin was still not at ease with her, and she was a little angry in her heart, but she was not good at being in front of Li Shimin, so she could only respond in the end.

After Princess Danyang left, the imperial study gradually quieted down, and at this time, a person suddenly flashed in outside, but Li Shimin was not surprised, and said: "Heifeng, have you inquired clearly?" ”

Hei Feng nodded: "Back to the saint, I have inquired clearly, that Hou Junxin is not close to the prince, and even the prince has never had contact with him." ”

After Hei Feng's words were finished, Li Shimin couldn't help but frown slightly, and secretly thought, could it be that he really wants to raise the virtuous for the court this time?

But between the courts, Li Chengqian is the crown prince, how can he not have a little utilitarian heart?

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, what kind of person Li Chengqian is, he Li Shimin is only afraid that it could not be clearer.

After waving his hand to let the black wind recede, Li Shimin glanced at the two names on the table again, thinking that Hou Junji destroyed Gaochang, which was a supreme merit to the Tang Dynasty, and he had to reward him after he came back, but Hou Junji's status was not low, and if he rewarded him again, it would inevitably make him jealous, and his merits would cover the master.

After thinking about it like this, Li Shimin finally picked up a brush and drew Zhang Liang's name.

Hou Junji's meritorious service should be rewarded, but it can't be rewarded, and Hou Junji's heart is happy if he doesn't reward it, so he can only be blessed with his brother, and let Hou Junxin be promoted to the head of the household department, and he should be able to send Hou Junji.

And if Hou Junji is smart, he should accept this arrangement well.

Li Shimin's mind turned quickly, thinking that by doing so, he could also test whether Hou Junji had other thoughts.

Time is slow, the inside of the imperial study is gradually getting stuffy, the cicadas outside the window are noisy, Li Shimin feels a little pain in his head, I don't know if it's because of the hot weather, or because of too many recent things.

He rubbed his temples and felt better, and then looked at the table again, when a thunderclap suddenly sounded outside, and then it began to rain crackling.

The rain in midsummer was so swift that it was a little unexpected.
