724, which pot is not opened, which pot is not mentioned

However, although the marriage is given, it does not mean that the marriage will be made immediately. Now that Princess Changle is only twelve years old, Jingwen is not going to attack a woman who has just reached the standards of Lori in later generations. And Jingwen also told Li Shimin that he planned to wait until Princess Changle was sixteen years old before getting married, so that she could be regarded as an adult. And at that time, Jingwen was only twenty-six years old, which was not very big. In this day and age, men are ten years older than women, which is nothing. Even some people who are in their twenties don't just marry princesses?

However, while things seem to be good, some people just don't have fun.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!" Wei Zheng said.

Li Shimin and Jingwen saw Wei Zheng come out to play, and Weng and his son-in-law scolded in their hearts at the same time: "This Wei Heizi is going to have a poisonous tongue again." ”

As soon as Wei Zheng opened his mouth, everything would not be better.

"Your Majesty, Jingwen's marriage was originally given, but the emperor personally gave the marriage. Miss Cheng was also ordered by the emperor to marry Jingwen, how can the emperor give the princess to Jingwen as his wife again? According to my Tang law, a man can only have one wife, and if he takes his wife, he will be punished. The emperor ......," Wei Zheng asked.

Wei Zheng didn't open this pot and mentioned which pot, and actually said what Li Shimin gave to Jingwen in the first place. In fact, when Jingwen married Cheng Lin, he was also married in accordance with Li Shimin's edict. Of course, this is Jingwen who took the initiative to ask Li Shimin for marriage, which belongs to the process, because Cheng Lin also agreed to the marriage with Jingwen, which has been discussed a long time ago. But now, Li Shimin has given marriage again, so isn't this just a slap in the face? The emperor gave marriage, but it was all about being a wife, and I had never heard of a concubine with a formal holy decree.

Although Li Shimin also gave the palace maid to the courtiers as concubines, this will not issue an edict openly. If the emperor issued an edict in order to reward a concubine, then the edict is too worthless, right? But now it's a princess. You can't just follow Jingwen without a name, right? Therefore, marriage must be given, so Li Shimin also issued this edict. However, this Wei Zheng actually questioned it in public, so isn't this a pot that can't be opened?

However, this Wei Zheng made up for it next.

"Your Majesty, the minister is a servant of the subordinate province, why has this edict not been reviewed by our subordinate province? As a subordinate provincial servant, why didn't he receive the relevant news? Wei Zheng asked again.

Wei Zheng's knife has to be said to be too ruthless. According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, the edict issued by the emperor. The vast majority of them are subject to consideration by the Ministry of Access. If it has not been reviewed by the Ministry of Menxia, it is not a legitimate edict, and as a courtier, he has every right to refuse to carry it out. Although in fact, many people will be afraid of the emperor's authority, so they also carry out those "middle decrees" that have not been reviewed, and when they went to the Turks a few years ago, the military talismans and holy decrees they obtained were actually the middle decrees. But what is illegal is what is not lawful, and it does not become legitimate because of the deterrence of certain rights.

Now Wei Zheng, the servant of the subordinate province, took the initiative to expose the fact that this edict was illegal. It immediately caused a stir. Now there are many foreign envoys who come to watch, but you Wei Zheng actually fought with the emperor so ruthlessly, which shocked many people. And Li Shimin also complained in his heart, this Wei Zheng is too bold. actually did it in front of so many foreigners. This simply disgraced the emperor's authority in front of foreigners.

Of course, if it was an ordinary emperor, I'm afraid he would have ordered this Wei Zheng to cut it down a long time ago. But who is Li Shimin? He's a guy who wants to save face. In front of so many people, especially foreigners, it is even more important to save face. He had to be in front of foreigners. It seems that he is "benevolent and righteous", so he must not punish Wei Zheng on the spot, otherwise it will be even more embarrassing. If Wei Zheng is punished, don't all foreigners think that Li Shimin is a brutal emperor who can't listen to opinions? Therefore, for the sake of face, Wei Zheng must not be punished at this time.

"This Wei Heizi, if I go with this edict, will you give me a review?" Li Shimin hummed in his heart.

Originally, Li Shimin thought that in front of foreigners, Wei Zheng would save some face for himself and not come out to admonish. But now Wei Zheng's thickness has surpassed Li Shimin's imagination, and he actually made the contradiction public in front of so many people, which made Li Shimin a little speechless.

"Your Majesty, do you mean to let Princess Tang be a concubine for someone else?" Wei Zheng asked again.

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched again, obviously he really had nothing to say about this Wei Zheng. Originally, Li Shimin wanted to deliberately fool this problem, but Wei Zheng didn't give Li Shimin this chance, but chased and fought hard here, as if he didn't understand this problem, as if he would not give up. Li Shimin didn't know how to explain it, because Li Shimin couldn't explain what Princess Changle's status was in the Jingwen family. Because Jingwen is stinky and hard, it is absolutely impossible to give Cheng Lin a break. So, that's what we are doing. Princess Changle's identity and status are unknown, so it is a very difficult thing to do.

And Jingwen listened to Wei Zheng's statement, and immediately said: "Lord Wei Zheng, do you mean that as long as the identity of the princess is clear, then you will not object to this marriage edict?" ”

"That's right, my princess of the Tang Dynasty can't be a concubine, so how can the majesty of my Tang Dynasty exist!" Wei Zhengyi said rhetorically.

Wei Zheng's meaning is very simple, that is, the princess of the Tang Dynasty is definitely not able to be someone else's concubine, otherwise it will really be a shame and a big loss. If you marry a foreign monarch as a side concubine, it is not incomprehensible. But now that she is married to a courtier of her own country, it is naturally impossible to be a concubine. Wei Zheng also bit this one to death, so there is nothing anyone can do. Therefore, Wei Zheng is also going to mess up this matter.

Anyway, Wei Zheng is also a "mad dog", and he has always caught and bitten whom. Wei Zheng used to be Li Jiancheng's person, not Li Shimin's descendant. Therefore, he can only rely on this straightforward method to "invite to buy fame", and then he can protect himself!

"The solution is simple! You can rest assured that Princess Changle is definitely not a concubine for me. Jingwen said.

"If you don't become a concubine, what do you do?" Wei Zheng asked. (To be continued......)
