Datang Storyteller: Uncovering the Secret of Xuanwu Gate, Li Er was stunned

"This is also a helpless move for me."

Li Shimin sighed, Qin Yu is different from others.

When others refused, Li Shimin felt that the other party was playing hard to get.

But Qin Yu's refusal was a real refusal.

Because from the very beginning, he despised being an official for him and despised him for being poor.

As a monarch, Li Shimin is definitely the first to be despised like this.

Originally, Li Shimin thought that Qin Yu was very interesting and talented, and wanted to deal with him slowly so that he could become an official in the court willingly.

But what happened today has aroused Li Shimin's vigilance. He no longer has the patience to wait for Qin Yu's willingness.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

Fang Xuanling keenly sensed that something was wrong, and asked quickly.

Li Shimin sighed and did not elaborate.

After all, this kind of thing can easily cause panic, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

"Fang Qing, draw up the decree, and you can read it out tomorrow."

"The minister obeys the order."

Fang Xuanling responded and stood there waiting for Li Shimin's other orders.

Li Shimin picked up the memorials on several cases and handed them to Fang Xuanling, "Fang Qing, Zhi Jie, please take a look at this."

Fang Xuanling took it and began to read it.

Cheng Yaojin took the memorial and turned it upside down for a long time, but he couldn't understand a single word.

Then he put it on a few cases irritably, and said:

"Oh, Your Majesty, just say whatever you want, I, Old Cheng, can't understand."

Li Shimin shook his head helplessly,

"If you don't listen to me when I tell you to read more, you can't even understand a memorial. Aren't you embarrassing me?"

Cheng Yaojin waved his hand, and said in a disapproving tone:

"Your Majesty, you are making a mistake. Generally, when you go to the battlefield, the first to die are cultural people."

"As far as the civil servants in our court are concerned, what else can they do besides impeaching this and impeaching that all day long?"

"I promise they won't dare to kill a chicken!"

Cheng Yaojin didn't feel that culture was needed to go into battle and kill the enemy.

"Besides, I'm already very old, and my brain is not working well. After learning those characters for a long time, it doesn't mean that it knows me, but I don't know it? I don't have much energy to talk, and I still doze off."

Li Shimin only said one sentence, but Cheng Yaojin said countless sentences to refute.

In this regard, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were very helpless.

If you don't want to do something, you can always find 1 reasons not to do it.

"That's all, whatever you want."

Li Shimin waved his hand to stop Cheng Yaojin from continuing.

Cheng Yaojin was waiting for this sentence.

But Fang Xuanling was shocked after reading the memorial, "Your Majesty, where did this come from?"

Li Shimin pointed to the two memorials in Fang Xuanling's hand,

"These two copies were brought by Gao Ming and Li Zhi."

Then he pointed to the two copies that Cheng Yaojin put on the case.

"One of these two copies was investigated by my people, and the other was investigated by the queen. These memorials all indicate the same problem."

"That is the marriage of close relatives, which will harm the next generation and is not good for the long-term development of my Datang population."

Fang Xuanling nodded. He was startled by these statistics. He never imagined that the good news of getting married would become the reason for the slow population growth of Datang.

The population of the Tang Dynasty was not large. The natural disasters and people lost a lot in these years, and the losses from the war were even greater. Now it is only a few million households.

If it is affected by the marriage of close relatives, the future population of Datang will be in jeopardy.

"What? Inbreeding is bad for population growth?"

Cheng Yaojin on the side listened for a long time, and finally found the point.

"Since it is unfavorable, His Majesty will decree to prevent them from getting married."

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling sighed, a little envious of Cheng Yaojin.

People really are happy because they are ignorant.

"It's not that simple. To prevent close relatives from marrying, the first thing to destroy is the marriage between Princess Changle and Changsun Chong."

"The marriage was bestowed by His Majesty, if His Majesty ordered to stop it, wouldn't it embarrass His Majesty?"

"Where is His Majesty's majesty?"

Fang Xuanling said it more implicitly, but it was actually a slap in the face.

Back-and-forth, changing orders from day to day, this is a taboo for kings.

It was precisely because Li Shimin understood this that he didn't dare to say anything when the data was extremely sufficient.

Compared to Fang Xuanling who knew nothing about it, Cheng Yaojin, who knew some inside information, quietly glanced at the serious Li Shimin, cursing inwardly.

It is said that Changsun Wuji is an old Yin man. In Cheng Yaojin's view, Li Shimin is much more sinister than Changsun Wuji.

He had already acquiesced in the matter between Princess Changle and Qin Yu even before he divorced the marriage.

He said that His Majesty wanted Princess Changle to take the Supreme Emperor to Laifu Restaurant.

It turned out that Qin Yu was the one who made the calculation, but the abacus was really clinking.

The poor old Yin still doesn't know that the daughter-in-law who got it is already going to fly.

Cheng Yaojin knew very well that Li Shimin acquiesced in this matter, and Li Yuan agreed.

Princess Changle fell in love with Qin Yu again, so she basically didn't let go of this matter.

The reason why His Majesty told them about this matter now is that he wants him and Lao Fang to be lobbyists, find Lao Yinren, and let him voluntarily withdraw the engagement.

If it is as expected, they will let them leak the news quietly.

After Cheng Yaojingang finished thinking, Li Shimin's voice rang out, "Fang Qing, Zhijie, what do you think about this matter?"

"This... everything depends on Zhao Guogong's will. To stop it at this time will damage His Majesty's prestige."

Fang Xuanling said truthfully.

Cheng Yaojin didn't speak.

He guessed it right, so what else to say.

"Wuji over there..."

Li Shimin sighed, "I'm sorry for him."

Cheng Yaojin: "Pretend, keep pretending!"

"Fang Qing, you and Zhijie will help me and Wuji tomorrow and talk about it. For the sake of Datang, I can only wrong him."

"But you can rest assured that as long as it is not the daughter of Guanyin's maidservant, whoever he wants to be his daughter-in-law, I am willing."

Li Shimin said it very righteously.

Cheng Yaojin said silently in his heart:

"Besides the son of the Empress Changsun, who do you think Lao Yinren can fall in love with?"

Well, the eldest princess doesn't want it, but a concubine daughter. The eldest grandson Wuji is probably out of his mind.

"The minister obeys the order."

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling complied helplessly.

Cheng Yaojin followed suit.

"It's up to you two to do this."

"By the way, about the news that close relatives can't get married, you should find a way to let the wind out first, so that when you go to Wuji, he will have a good idea."

Qin Yu is very important.

If persecution is useless, he can only choose the second plan, recruiting him as the consort captain.

Of course, the premise is that he must tell all his secrets, as long as he is willing to cooperate, he will fulfill him and Li Zhi.

Qin Yu can despise him for being poor, refuse to be an official, and don't want power.

But as long as you are human, you will have weaknesses, money, power and beauties, Qin Yu will always like them.
