Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 177

Mrs. Changsun glared, "How dare you, do you know how you obtained the position of Colonel Zuo Wuwei?"

Changsun Chong shrank his neck, but Changsun Wuji nodded repeatedly and said: "What you said is quite reasonable, but you must be prepared. The East Palace does not support idlers."

"Look at the people around the prince, from Cen Wenwen to Ma Zhou, and then to the current ladies such as Li Chengtong, Wu Meiniang and Xu Hui, and then look at Xue Rengui in front of you, they all demonstrate the prince's ability to recognize people."

"If you can hug the prince's thigh tightly, you will definitely be able to live in prosperity and wealth in the future, but if you don't have that ability, I'm afraid you will only be ashamed if you go!"

Changsun Wuji listened to Mrs. Changsun and Changsun Chong for a while. After thinking about it carefully, they suddenly realized that the prince who was once ignored by everyone has grown into a colossus, and he is almost unattainable!
"Huh? That girl Pingting is not at home?" Only then did Changsun Wuji realize that his precious daughter was not there.

"Our house is almost becoming her inn." Mrs. Changsun said with a look of apprehension, "That damned girl doesn't know how to be reserved at all. She sewed her purse all night yesterday, saying she was using it for the prince. Now the person must be in the East Palace."

"Good!" Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and laughed loudly, "Pingting is a good girl, Madam, stop nagging her and let her get in touch with the crown prince!"

"Master didn't talk like that before!" Mrs. Changsun glared, "Before I heard Master say Pingting, what kind of girls should be reserved and don't always hang around men. How did this change?"

"This time and that time, today is different!" Changsun Wuji was exposed by his mother-in-law, and he didn't feel annoyed, "If that girl can really become the crown princess, then we will be able to stretch the East Palace and Tiance Mansion. Go in."

"Even if they can't get in, the future of Chong'er and the others is settled."

After hearing what Changsun Wuji said, Mrs. Changsun stopped talking, and so did Changsun Chong. They could all see that Changsun Wuji was sold on Changsun Wuji's daughter, Changsun Pingting.

Although this is a bit like selling a daughter for glory, but for the benefit of the family, and for the future of the male in the family, Mrs. Changsun and Changsun Chong both frankly acquiesced.

In the imperial study room, Concubine Yin was administering medicine to Li Shimin. When the Empress Dowager who heard the news saw Li Shimin like this, she instantly became furious, "The crown prince has gone too far, His Majesty must punish him severely!"

Li Shimin waved his hand after hearing this, "There's no need for the concubine to be like this. Didn't I just say it? It's my fault and it has nothing to do with Fu'er's guards. Those guards were not wrong either. Even I shouldn't have barged into that kind of place. .”

Hearing that Li Shimin defended the prince in such a way, the princess did not say anything, but she still couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, I heard that the prince's steel factory can now produce [-] kilograms of steel a day, but how can it be done? Is this happening?"

"Exactly." Li Shimin's decisive answer made the fingers of Concubine Yin who was administering medicine to him tremble.

Concubine Yin was surprised, and of course she became increasingly confused about the prince. When did Li Fu become so good?In comparison, my son is nothing!

The same is true for the Empress Dowager. Originally, the Empress Dowager wanted to make use of the topic, say good things to Li Chengqian, and bring him back to Chang'an, but judging by her posture, she probably didn't even have to say anything.

Now that Li Fu is getting better and better, then Li Chengqian, the deposed prince, is naturally getting further and further away from the political center of the Tang Dynasty.

Based on the Crown Princess' understanding of Li Shimin, it is no surprise that Li Chengqian will never have the opportunity to enter the capital in the future. Otherwise, why would even the current King of Wei, Li Tai, become extremely low-key and dare not show his face to Li Shimin recently?

One must know that when Li Chengqian was the crown prince, Li Tai was jumping up and down in front of Li Shimin in different ways all day long, but now Li Tai let alone jumping up and down, even Li Shimin loves to ignore him.

As for the youngest son of Empress Changsun, Li Zhi, the king of Jin who should have become Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty in history, is just a little kid now and has no scheming at all.

It may be that Princess Jinyang is prospering now, but her popularity is largely due to her gender and personality. Of course, it is mostly due to her closeness to the prince.

"Is the concubine looking for something today?" Li Shimin suddenly seemed to have no intention of asking the concubine.

The imperial concubine was slightly taken aback, flustered for a while, but immediately thought of the reason, slightly nodded at Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, Ai's family is here today for the blue sparrow."

"King Wei?" Li Shimin frowned slightly, "What's wrong with him? I haven't seen him recently!"

"Have you forgotten, Your Majesty?" The Crown Princess felt bitter in her heart, "The last time Your Majesty was in the court, in front of all the civil and military officials, Qing Que was asked to think about his faults behind closed doors. He was not allowed to face the Holy Spirit without an edict."

"Because of this, Qingque has been depressed in the palace. Everyone in the government and the public is saying that King Wei has lost His Majesty's favor. I heard that the originally agreed marriage has not yet come to ask His Majesty to propose marriage, and the engagement is about to be broken off."

"Retire?" Li Shimin frowned even tighter, "Who, Yan Liben? Did he say he wanted to resign?"

Recently, Li Shimin's mind is on the prince and the government, and he doesn't pay attention to other princes except Li Fu.

But Li Shimin didn't expect it at all. It was already a certainty, and he had to issue an order to refer to the marriage. Did Yan Liben eat the bear's heart and leopard's courage?Who dared to withdraw from Wei Wang's marriage, who did he think he was!

"What happened, the concubine told me, and I will make the decision for the king of Wei!" Li Shimin's domineering air leaked out, and the concubine was overjoyed when she saw this.

After all, father and son are still connected, even though King Wei is not as favored as before, but they are still a family, so the empress dowager hurriedly explained the cause of the matter to Li Shimin.

Yan Liben was an old man in Tiance Mansion during Li Shimin's time. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he successively served as the chief doctor, the doctor of the Ministry of punishment, and now he will serve as a young prisoner. Although his official position is not high, he has always been Li Shimin's favorite.

Yan Liben was good at painting, Li Shimin's portraits were basically made by Yan Liben, and his elder brother was still the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, so in order to win over Yan Liben, Yan Liben got Li Shimin's instruction to marry the king of Wei.

But now that Yan Liben actually wanted to regret the marriage, and he unilaterally regretted the marriage without his approval, Li Shimin knew that there might be other reasons for this.

At this time, Li Shimin heard the imperial concubine say: "A few days ago, Qing Que came to the palace and cried to Ai's family, saying that the girl of Yan's family disliked Qing Que's peculiar smell, and she was arguing with Yan Liben about retiring the engagement. The solution is to mention it to King Wei tactfully."

"But Your Majesty, you can't say that about this matter. Is there anything wrong with Qingque? That's one thing to say. Why would the Yan family dare to withdraw the marriage of my Tang clan? Do you think the Yan family has gone too far?"
