The book continued from the above, and the last book said that after Chu Mofeng, the Duke of Qi, returned to Chang'an, he found that he needed to make some suggestions on many matters at the moment, and Emperor Li Yuan decided to marry him for some reason, which made Chu Mofeng a little confused.

After Niangziguan and his entourage, Chu Mofeng found out the real cause of death of Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning, and then brought the main culprit Chai Yunxiu to the capital, ready to wait for Li Yuan's fate.

And Chu Mofeng also deliberately jumped away from talking about the matter of harmony, and said his opinion on disarmament, and then Li Yuan, who came back to his senses, immediately ordered the privy envoy of Jinyan to be executed, but he didn't know that the privy envoy Chai Lin was the person of the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and inadvertently cut off one of Li Jiancheng's tentacles, which made Li Jiancheng very annoyed.

Looking at Chu Mofeng, who was talking in front of him, Li Jiancheng couldn't help but show a trace of anger, but who knew that he was discovered by the sharp-eyed Chu Mofeng, and immediately stopped his words and said to Li Jiancheng: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, are you dissatisfied with the cessation of disarmament? Why are you looking at the minister so resentfully?"

Suddenly named by Chu Mofeng, Li Jiancheng choked for a moment, and then relieved himself and said: "Where is the Duke of Qi, our Tang Dynasty is a sensitive period with the Turks at this time, if we disarm rashly, it will inevitably have an impact on my Tang Dynasty, and the prince just thought of the minister who spoke to his father, and he couldn't help but be a little angry." ”

As soon as Li Jiancheng said this, the people in the court who knew his relationship with Chai Lin couldn't help but snicker, and Chu Mofeng said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, and the minister is also thinking, is this Chai Lin bewitched by that pig and dog generation, and dares to make such slanderous remarks to His Majesty? It seems that the person who bewitches him must also be something inferior to a pig and a dog, Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you say yes?"

Hearing that Chu Mofeng scolded himself for being a pig and a dog, Li Jiancheng couldn't help but scold in his heart: Okay, you are the Duke of Qi Guo, you really have you, you wait, when this king ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely punish your nine clans to relieve the hatred in his heart.

But the belly slander is the belly slander, and he still reluctantly echoed and said: "Qi Guogong's words are reasonable, this demagogic person is indeed like what Grandpa Guo said." ”

Listening to Li Jiancheng's insincere words, Chu Mofeng secretly snickered in his heart, and then said to Li Yuan with a straight face: "Your Majesty, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also resents that bewitched person, the minister thinks that it is better to temporarily detain Chai Lin to Jingzhaoyin Prison, and after the trial of Chai Yunxiu's case is completed, wouldn't it be better for the two of them to ask together." ”

At this time, a group of ministers who were attached to Li Shimin on the court came out one after another and said: "Your Majesty, Qi Guo's public words are reasonable, if you don't find out the bewitched person, this person will inevitably make waves again in the future, so the minister seconded the proposal." ”

As more and more people came out to second, at this time, Li Jiancheng was worried that Li Yuan would be moved by everyone, and was about to step forward to speak, but he was dragged by Wei Zheng behind him, only to see Wei Zheng slowly shaking his head at himself, Li Jiancheng had no choice but to give up.

Looking at the ministers below who had spoken and seconded, Li Yuan immediately nodded and said: "Since the ministers have requested, I will agree to it, pass on my will, temporarily detain Chai Lin to Jing Zhaoyin's prison, and wait for Qi Guogong to cooperate with Jing Zhaoyin to dig out the mastermind behind the scenes, and then ask about the beheading." Retreat. ”

Immediately Li Yuan flicked his sleeves and walked towards the apse, after seeing Li Yuan leave, Chu Mofeng walked out of the hall and summoned a few Praetorian Guards, and ordered him to take care of Chai Yunxiu temporarily, and then he pulled Li Shimin to the imperial study in the apse.

When I came to the door of the imperial study, I saw Wang De standing outside the door, there seemed to be a quarrel in the house, seeing Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin coming, Wang De hurriedly made a silent gesture to the two, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the house, and then pointed in the direction of the East Palace, Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng immediately understood that it was the prince Li Jiancheng who was being reprimanded inside.

The two of them were curious at the moment, and listened attentively to the door of the imperial study, only to hear Li Yuan in the room say loudly: "I don't care who his Chai Lin is, even if it is my Li Yuan's own son, he will be punished for making a big mistake, what is your intention in interceding for Chai Lin now? Are you also in favor of disarmament?"

As soon as Li Yuan's words fell, he heard Li Jiancheng say with grievances: "Father Emperor Mingjian, the sons and ministers have always disapproved of disarmament, but now is the time to employ people. ”

Who knew that before the words were finished, he only heard a 'snap' sound from the house, and then he heard Li Yuan yelling: "In vain, you are the crown prince, this world is the world of the people of the world, and this minister is the minister of the people of the world, if you keep such a vain minister in the court, do you think the people of the world will be convinced of the Tang Dynasty? At that time, the country will not be the country, you, the prince, go to be the prince of the Turks, go back to your East Palace, and don't come out until you don't understand." ”

Hearing this, Chu Mofeng opened his mouth to Li Shimin, but he didn't make a sound, but he looked at the mouth shape as if he had said the word 'idiot', and then the two hurriedly straightened up and stood aside respectfully, at this moment, Chu Mofeng said to Li Shimin as if inadvertently: "Why is this harmony just for us to marry the princess, why can't they marry the princess Turkic?"

Li Shimin didn't hear what Chu Mofeng meant, and Wang De's eyes flashed on the side, and then disappeared, and he slowly shouted into the house: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Qi and His Royal Highness the King of Qin are asking to see you outside the door." ”

I only heard the door squeak opened, and Li Jiancheng, who had a red mark on his face, walked out angrily, and then Li Yuan's voice came from inside the house and said, "Xuan." ”

Hearing this, Wang De made a gesture of invitation to Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng, and said with a smile: "Two, Your Majesty has summoned you two to come in, and there is our family waiting outside the door, so you can rest assured." ”

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng nodded, and pulled Li Shimin into the imperial study, Wang De saw the two entering, and then closed the door, and whispered to the little yellow door behind him: "Let's all go down, our family can be here alone." Hearing this, the attendant Xiao Huangmen hurriedly and respectfully withdrew.

In the imperial study, Li Yuan's anger was still not gone, and when he saw Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin coming together, he hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said, "Find a chair and sit down and talk." After speaking, he turned around and walked to the chair in front of the bookcase and sat down, took a sip of the ginseng soup in front of him, and said, "Do you want to order the two of you to get some food?"

Chu Mofeng waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to, the minister came here this time to make peace, and he can go back to the house for dinner after reporting to His Majesty." ”

When Li Yuan heard this, he remembered that Chu Mofeng had mentioned that he would negotiate peace after the dispersal of the court, and at this time, most of his anger had already disappeared, and he hurriedly asked anxiously: "If you kid has any bad moves, tell me quickly, I and you have a good time." ”

Chu Mofeng glanced at Li Yuan angrily, and said with a smile: "What the minister means, either choose a fireworks girl from Pingkangfang and pretend to be my princess of the Tang Dynasty to complete the marriage, or propose it to the Turkic envoy and let the Turkic Khan marry their princess to our Datang, and be close to each other, can't just let us marry the princess and collect the dowry, right?"

Listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Li Yuan was suddenly choked, and after thinking for a while, he patted his thigh and said: "Your kid's trick is really enough to damage, no matter which plan is implemented, our Datang will not lose money, throw the problem to the Turks to give a headache, wonderful, Cheng, just do what you say, first find a woman from Pingkangfang to prepare, and I will let the envoy Li Daoli and the Turkic envoy discuss it later." ”

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Chu Mofeng then motioned for Li Shimin to speak, only to see Li Shimin say to Li Yuan: "Father Qi, the ministers of the court happened to hear you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince quarreling outside the door over the matter of disarmament, and the sons thought that at this moment, they should not be entangled in who bewitched Chai Lin, but should find a way to appease the soldiers of the Twelfth Army, otherwise, the soldiers will inevitably have some other ideas, and now that the enemy is present, stabilizing the morale of the army is the most important thing." ”

Listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Yuan sighed in his heart, after all, his second son relied on his military exploits to get today's honor, and he really looked at the problem much higher than his eldest son, it was really a mistake not to make him the prince at the beginning, thinking of this, Li Yuan nodded and said: "What is Erlang's good plan at the moment?

Li Shimin nodded and said: "First of all, we should issue an edict to appease everyone, so that the officers and soldiers of the Twelfth Army know that Your Majesty has no intention of disarming; secondly, whether you can increase the military salary for one month, the soldiers fought bravely, in addition to wanting to protect the family and defend the country, but also to be able to receive a salary to support their families. ”

As soon as Li Shimin's three suggestions came out, Li Yuan first nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Chu Mofeng and said, "What do you think of Erlang's three suggestions?"

"The minister thinks that the three suggestions put forward by His Royal Highness the King of Qin are what we should do at the moment, and the minister thinks it is feasible, if the household department is not enough, the minister can donate again to solve the dilemma of the court. Chu Mofeng thought to himself that these three were all what I told Li Lao Er, old man, you asked me in vain.

"You have already donated a million guan before, how can I open my mouth to ask you again, and your million guan has been deposited in the treasury at the moment, just after the New Year, there are not many places to use money in various places, and the household department happens to have a surplus. When Li Yuan heard that Chu Mofeng was going to donate, he couldn't help but wave his hand a little unbearably and said: "It's not so bad that your kid has money, if you donate again, it is estimated that Feng'er and Ling'er should complain about me as a father, and I will make an order to implement this matter later." ”

Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin stood up in unison when they heard this, and made a big salute to Li Yuan and said, "Erchen (minister) thanked His Majesty for his great kindness for the soldiers of the Twelfth Army. ”

"There are just three of us in this study, don't do this big gift, then I am still a little uncomfortable. Seeing the two of them get up and salute, Li Yuan hurriedly motioned for the two to sit down, and then looked at Chu Mofeng with interest and said, "I am going to give you a marriage, I guess you should have heard about it a long time ago, tell me if there is any girl in your match?"

Hearing that Li Yuan's painting style had changed, Chu Mofeng suddenly glanced at Li Yuan angrily and said, "I said, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Why do you want to marry the minister again? Don't forget that the minister has married four rooms, and the four children are already six years old. ”

"What are you afraid of? I heard Erlang say that your mansion is full of five-in, five-out mansions on the left and right, and it's a big deal that the imperial court comes forward to buy them all, and after opening up, build a new Guogong Mansion for you, you tell me, which girl do you like?" Li Yuan couldn't help but smile when he heard this, thinking that the five-in, five-out mansion in your kid's house only has people from two courtyards, and it is really not clever to excuse yourself with this kind of reason.

Hearing Li Yuan say this, Chu Mofeng said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, the minister went to Niangziguan to investigate the case this time, and by chance and Dou Jingyan, the niece of Empress Taimu, performed the courtesy of the Duke of Zhou, and the minister couldn't bear her to be selected as a member of the family, so he tried his best to make a plan to let him avoid this disaster. ”

"Bold Chu Mofeng, I have a deep relationship with Queen Taimu, so I take good care of her relatives, I didn't expect you to have an affair with Jingyan girl behind my back, you say, how to punish you to make me angry?" Seeing Chu Mofeng tell the truth, Li Yuan thought to himself that I have to scare you kid, lest you cause trouble everywhere for me, thinking of this, his face immediately changed and he said sharply: "It seems that I should escort you to the prison for a period of time to reflect on yourself." With that, he got up and called for the guards outside the door.

Seeing this, Li Shimin on the side hurriedly knelt down and said to Li Yuan: "Erchen implores his father to take a break from the anger of the thunder, Mofeng and Jingyan's girl, Erchen also understood the general situation when he came back, all because Mofeng is a person who values love and righteousness, and is not afraid of hardships and dangers to find out the cause of the third sister's death, and Jingyan has admired her for a long time, and Mofeng indirectly cleared Jingyan's suspicion, so the two ......" Speaking of this, Li Shimin didn't know what words to use to describe it, and suddenly felt awkward in his heart, thinking that your kid is really in trouble this time.

Listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Yuan feigned anger: "Erlang, you don't have to defend him, let him say what to do by himself?"

"My Majesty, isn't it okay for the minister to marry Miss Dou, now your old man is satisfied, right?" Chu Mofeng saw that he could not understand Li Yuan's thoughts, so he had to borrow a donkey to meet Li Yuan's request.

After listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Li Yuan's face changed, and he said with a smile: "Cheng, the son can be taught, since this is the case, then tomorrow I will plan to transfer Jingyan girl back first, but you have to assign one to me as the guard of this lady's pass, and then I will send someone to Yining Fang to buy all the houses on both sides of your mansion, and then connect them into a big mansion, so that your kid will not cry to me that the mansion is too small." ”

Chu Mofeng said to Li Yuan with a smile when he heard this: "Your Majesty, the matter of the mansion will not bother the imperial court, the imperial court should use the money where it should be used, this minister can solve it himself, and there is another successor, Yang Lin, a personal soldier beside Dou Jingyan, this woman is loyal and brave, and she has both civil and military skills, which can be of great use, just her." ”

Li Yuan nodded when he heard this, and then said to Chu Mofeng: "Your marriage with Jingyan will be completed within this month, so as not to worry about it, do you know?"

"Cheng Chengcheng, what did your old man say about what to do with wine, who made you Your Majesty. Chu Mofeng nodded, and then pulled Li Shimin out of the imperial study and walked towards the outside of the palace.

At this time, Li Shimin was still like a circle, and asked in confusion: "So your kid is getting married again?" or the fifth time?"

"I said, eldest brother, didn't you drink in the imperial study just now? I talked to your father for so long, and you didn't listen to a word?" Chu Mofeng glanced at Li Shimin when he heard this, and then pulled him into the carriage and said, "Let's go, do you Jing Zhaoyin have to go to Yining Fang to help me buy those two mansions?"

"Cheng, you take care of the meal at noon, I haven't eaten outside the palace for a long time, just go to see the children. Li Shimin nodded, followed Chu Mofeng into a carriage, and walked towards Yining Fang.

After coming to Yining Fang and finding Fang Zheng, after explaining his intentions, Fang Zheng knew that the world-famous Qi Guogong actually lived in Yining Fang under his jurisdiction, and he was a little at a loss, after listening to Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin's requirements, Fang Zheng took out the household registration book in the fang and checked it and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, Qi Guogong, the houses on both sides of the Guogong Mansion belong to unmanned industries at the moment, if the two need to buy, they only need to pay five hundred and sixty yuan." ”

Hearing that it only costs five hundred and sixty guan, Chu Mofeng immediately nodded with satisfaction, and Li Shimin, who has always been quite familiar with the people, immediately raised his eyebrows and said sharply: "Five hundred and sixty guan? That means that a mansion needs two hundred and eighty guan, and now it is ten yuan and one bucket of rice, and these two hundred and eighty guan is two hundred and eighty thousand yuan, and you can buy about twenty-eight thousand dou rice, which is too expensive." ”

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Fang Fang said bitterly: "Back to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, this is still for the sake of you and the face of the grandfather of the country, the villain has lowered the price, and it cost the previous lord a full three hundred and fifty yuan when he bought the house." ”

Seeing that Li Shimin still wanted to say something, Chu Mofeng grabbed Li Shimin and whispered: "Big brother, this is Jingshi, everything is expensive, this is normal, I still need nearly fifty yuan in the house in Zhangye before, it's not expensive." After speaking, he said to Fang Zheng: "In this case, I will give you a handwritten letter, and after completing the formalities, you can go to my house to collect the room payment." ”

Fang Zheng thought that one of the two of them was the King of Qin and the other was the Duke of Guogong anyway, so he would not repay the debt, and then he went through the formalities happily, so far Chu Mofeng had two more mansions in Yining Fang. Then Chu Mofeng told Fang Zheng that he needed to find some craftsmen to merge the three mansions into one, and Fang Zheng readily agreed.

On the other hand, several decrees of the imperial court were also issued according to the results of Li Yuan's discussion with Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin in the imperial study, and the messenger rushed to Niangzi Pass non-stop, and read out His Majesty's will in front of everyone.

After learning that the court would not be disarmed, the soldiers of the 12th Army received a reward from the court, and they became more convinced of the court, and immediately under the leadership of the new generals, the soldiers immediately threw themselves into intense training, hoping to be useful in the future against the Turks.

And Li Daoli went to discuss with the Turkic envoy according to Li Yuan's will, who knew that the Turkic envoy insisted on marrying the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Daoli had no choice but to report to Li Yuan, and then Li Yuan dressed up the woman who was found from Pingkangfang, and crowned Li Daoli with the title of princess and went to the Western Turks.

In mid-March, the original Guogong Mansion in Yining Fang has disappeared, replaced by a large mansion covering an area of three houses, which is still five courtyards, but the rooms in each courtyard have increased a lot, so the four maids personally went to the tooth shop to buy a group of servants, and brought a maid named Qianqian to the new lady who was about to pass through the door from the tooth shop.

Dou Jingyan, who returned to the house, resumed her daughter's dress, first met her father Dou Zhaoxian, and then was taken to the palace by someone from the palace, and then received her by the eldest grandson of Princess Qin.

The two chatted for a long time in the Chengqian Palace, and when they mentioned Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning, the two couldn't help but burst into tears, every time they mentioned the Duke of Qi, Dou Jingyan's face instantly turned red, and the eldest grandson Luo Luo, who was a person who came over, said with a smile: "In fact, if it weren't for Your Majesty, the Prince of Chu in your heart would still be ready to hide this matter, since this is Your Majesty's marriage, presumably the pomp should not be small, if you lack anything at that time, you can tell your sister, your sister can still help here." ”

"Sister eldest grandson is polite, Jingyan doesn't want to be beautiful, she just wants to be able to marry him and have children, husband and children. Listening to the words of the eldest grandson, Dou Jingyan couldn't help whispering.

Looking at the flower-like woman in front of him, the eldest grandson couldn't help but recall the scene when he married Li Shimin, and suddenly fell into deep thought, and at this time, a majestic voice suddenly sounded in his ears and said: "Cousin Jingyan can't be cheap that kid, your husband has spent nearly 400 yuan to renovate the mansion for you, in order to marry you back to the mansion in style, and it is Your Majesty's marriage, if this bride price is less, our royal family is unwilling." ”

The two were awakened by this voice, only to see Li Shimin standing at the door, looking at the two with a smiling expression on his face, Dou Jingyan saw this and hurriedly got up and saluted Li Shimin, Li Shimin hurriedly returned the salute when he saw this, and then said with a smile: "I just came back from the palace, my father means that the princess is not good, and decided to add the county lord, at that time, our Tang Dynasty will be two princesses and one county lord are cheaper This kid, how much do you say we have to ask for this bride price?"

"Everything is up to Your Majesty, Jingyan doesn't care. Listening to Li Shimin's words, Dou Jingyan's cheeks instantly turned red, and she lowered her head and said quietly.

On the second day, the palace sent someone to Dou Mansion to announce the decree, and named Dou Jingyan as the lord of Zhangye, and assigned to marry Chu Mofeng, the Duke of Qi, and completed the marriage within the month.

On March 20, the eighth year of Wude, the lanterns in the Guogong Mansion were colorful, and the red lanterns hanging at the door showed that the owner of the mansion was holding a happy event, and the Dou Mansion was also full of joy, Dou Zhaoxian stood at the door in a auspicious suit, and greeted the guests who came to congratulate him with a smile.

If this prince is just a gentleman who leads an eagle and fights a dog, everyone may not be interested, but our grandfather is not only a hero of the Tang Dynasty, but also a good person to the people, and the Tiance Academy, Rende Medical Center and a number of shops that benefit the people and benefit the people, as well as those policies implemented for the people, have made the people of Chang'an admire this grandfather.

People invariably came to Dou Mansion and Guogong Mansion with gifts, hoping to send their most sincere blessings, and Chu Mofeng set up several porridge sheds in front of Guogong Mansion for the first time to send hot porridge and silver money to the few begging people in the city, which suddenly made the people of Chang'an boil.

The generals of all the sizes in the army were present to congratulate, except for Li Yuan, who sent the leader and eunuch Wang De, all the princes sent housekeepers to the scene, and Li Shimin, the king of Qin, Li Daoli, the king of Gaoping, Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun, and Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, came to the scene to congratulate.

Looking at so many generals and princes in front of the Guogong Mansion, the onlookers praised Chu Mofeng for his wide connections, and Dou Jingyan, who was the bride, couldn't help but feel sweet when she learned that today's pomp was so big. At this time, the carriage was quietly driving from Qinrenfang near the East Market to Yining Fang on the north side of the West Market......

As the saying goes, the cave room spends candle nights, and the spring night is worth a thousand gold, and look at Chu Mofeng's newlywed Yan'er and make new contributions, and then look at Li Shimin's hardships and dangers, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
