In the palace of Chang'an City, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun in the Lizheng Hall were picking and picking around with a stack of marriage proposal stickers in their hands at this time.

Princess Li Lizhi of Changle has already reached the age of marriage.

It was only because of the report from the medical school that the close relatives could not get married that the plan of the Li Shimin couple was disrupted.

Now the ministers saw that Li Shimin still had no intention of choosing a son-in-law, so they all started to think about it.

There is a prayer post from Fang Xuanling for his eldest son, Fang Xuanling.

There is a prayer post from Tang Jian for his son Tang Shanzhi to marry.

There is a prayer post from Wang Qi for his son Wang Jingzhi's marriage proposal.

There is also a letter from Duan Zhixuan proposing to his son Duan Zhan.

Li Shimin chose for a long time, but he couldn't make up his mind.

So he opened his mouth and asked Empress Changsun: "Guanyin, do you have a favorite candidate?" ”

Empress Changsun shook her head and said, "These children and concubines have been inspected for a long time, but the more they are inspected, the more difficult it is to choose. ”

Li Shimin said: "Now that Changle's marriage is no longer suitable for delay, you and I should have made a decision as soon as possible!" ”

Empress Eldest Sun said: "The prime minister of the house is compatible with your monarch and minister, and his son's literary talent and character are also very good, it is better to..."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "'Xuanling's son is not bad, not only is he an official with the style of a father, but his literary style is also extraordinary, which is also compatible with Changle. ”

Empress Eldest Sun said: "Since this is the case, it is so decided, as for the other adults, Erlang will go and explain." ”

Li Shimin smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this?" I have many daughters, as long as they are willing to wait for each of my families to give them one. ”

Empress Eldest Sun glanced at Li Shimin and said, "How can you be such a father, I hear you mean to treat your daughters as goods?" ”

Li Shimin said embarrassedly: "It's me who said the wrong thing, my daughters are all treasures, and I have to choose a good son-in-law." ”

When Empress Changsun heard this, she ignored him.

After the two of them made a good plan, they began to arrange the marriage of Princess Changle as soon as possible.

Changle is the eldest princess born to the eldest grandson queen.

Since childhood, he has been deeply favored by Li Shimin and his wife, and now Li Shimin has saved a lot of money in his private treasury.

Therefore, Li Shimin wanted to prepare a rich dowry for Li Lizhen.

So the dowry items originally formulated by the Ministry of Rites were changed and changed by Li Shimin, and in the end they exceeded Princess Yongjia's aunt Princess Yongjia by more than double.

After the other ministers learned about this, although they felt that it was not good for Li Shimin to do this, they did not say much.

After all, this matter involves Fang Xuanling, and Princess Changle is deeply favored by Li Shimin and his wife.

Although some transgress the etiquette, it can be regarded as a reason.

But after Wei Zheng knew about this matter, he hurriedly found Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that His Majesty treats the princess as a treasure and loves her very much, and he is very happy even if he gives it to her.

But since ancient times, if the princess's wedding gift exceeds that of Princess Yongjia, I am afraid that it will be unreasonable and laughed at by outsiders! ”

Wei Zheng spoke bitterly and persuaded him.

Li Shimin frowned a little after listening to Wei Zheng's words.

He said: "At this time and that time, the situation was unstable when Yongjia got married, and the finances were not rich.

However, at present, the Tang Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, and I have some spare strength, if I treat Changle badly, I can't bear it! ”

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty loves her daughter very much, and it is understandable that the ministers are self-sufficient, but the etiquette cannot be violated.

If Your Majesty has the heart, why not wait for the two to get married and then make up for it? ”

Li Shimin's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Then he smiled and nodded: "Xuan Chengzhen is the mirror of me, and only you are willing to say and listen to me at all times if you are so loyal and straightforward." ”

Wei Zheng said: "The duty of the minister is not to be praised so much by His Majesty." ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Aiqing has his own decision in his heart on how to be a person, and this matter will be done according to Aiqing's performance." ”

After Li Lizhen's marriage was decided, Li Zhi, who was far away in Guangzhou City, soon got the news.

After thinking about it, he decided to give Li Lizhen a decent mansion.

So he hurriedly sent someone to inform Pei Mingli of this matter, and at the same time talked about returning to Chang'an City with Li Yuan.

Although Li Lizhen's marriage has been decided, there is still a long time before she gets married.

During this period, Li Zhi had to prepare for Li Liqing.

Just when Li Shimin's father and son were busy preparing for Li Lizhen's wedding, Wei Chi Jingde and others also returned to Chang'an City together.

Li Shimin sent Li Chengqian out of the city to greet them, and then rewarded these people.

Among them, Su Lie received the most affordable reward, and was promoted from the original general of the right tunwei to the general of the left guard.

Wei Chi Jingde and Cheng Yanjin each added 1,000 households of food because they could not be promoted.

As for Xue Li and other lieutenants, they were all promoted to one level.

The battle was too easy.

Therefore all the people secretly rejoiced when they had received the reward.

In the early summer of the tenth year of Zhenguan, Li Zhi accompanied Li Yuan back to Chang'an City.

After he came back, he just met Li Lizhen in a hurry, and he couldn't wait to start preparing gifts for Li Liqing.

The main thing is, of course, the princess's mansion.

Therefore, Li Zhi would go over and inspect it from time to time.

Li Zhi has many properties under his name, and he has endless money in his hands.

Therefore, in addition to giving away a mansion, he also prepared a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, cloth, porcelain, and a luxurious and exquisite carriage for Li Lizhen.

Although he is also good to his other brothers and sisters, Li Lizhen has the best relationship with him.

Therefore, Li Shimin was limited to the number of courtesies and did not give away, and all the things were made up by Li Zhi.

Li Zhi's approach was naturally extremely gratifying in the eyes of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

However, the two brothers, Li Chengqian and Li Tai, were so angry that they gritted their teeth.

Everyone is a mother, how can we follow you with such a big deal?

It makes you look rich, doesn't it?

It seems that you care about family affection, right?

At this time, the two of them seemed to have forgotten that Li Zhi would give them a lot of profits every year.

The reason why the two of them are so angry now is entirely because all the money Li Zhi gave them was for nothing.

Therefore, the two of them spent all the money lavishly, and they didn't save much at all.

After sulking for a while, the two discussed with each other and simply looked away.

We don't compare to you, we just have to give more than the other brothers and sisters.

The two of them thought it well, but they forgot that they also had a rich brother.

Although Li Yu is not as rich as Li Zhi, he is already super rich compared to other brothers.

He didn't want to be too high-profile, he just felt that Li Lizhen had a good relationship with him on weekdays.

You should give more than others anyway.

So he casually said to the housekeeper in his house: "The gift for Princess Changle is thicker, don't dilute the friendship between our sister and brother." ”

In this way, the two brothers Li Chengqian and Li Tai were hit by a critical blow from Li Su.
