Chapter 33 The value of the princess
"Princess, you've done me a terrible job now." Qin Yu thought bitterly, and then sighed, "Put on your clothes."
Although Li Lizhi was still a little scared, when she heard that Qin Yu didn't mean to blame her, she immediately relaxed a lot and said softly, "Yeah."
The sound of getting dressed could be heard. Qin Yu had long been familiar with Datang's clothes and naturally dressed them quickly. However, Li Lizhi was dressing up and down, only wearing a piece of underwear. Qin Yu sighed again and then went to bed.
Help before.
After the two of them got dressed, Qin Yu took a deep breath, exhaled it for a long time, and then left the room, followed by Li Lizhi.
Qin Yu only has one thought in his mind now, and that is "how to die.".
When they came outside the door, they saw Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin bowing and begging for mercy. A middle-aged man stood there holding a long sword, looking at this side with cold eyes.
Without even thinking about it, Qin Yu knew who the man in front of him was, and secretly sighed, "Sleeping with the princess, no matter whose reason it is, stretching your head is a knife, and shrinking your head is also a knife. There is no use in being afraid, it is still a knife."
.
After Qin Yu finished thinking, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and he stepped forward, bowed and saluted, neither humble nor overbearing, "Common man, Qin Yu, pay homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Li Shimin was obviously stunned by Qin Yu's expression and tone. In Li Shimin's opinion, Qin Yu should be afraid and nervous, with a bitter look on his face.
But the fact was not what he thought at all. Not only was Qin Yu not afraid of being nervous, he also had a smile on his face. Qin Yu's expression and behavior were like declaring war with Li Shimin again, "I'm just going to sleep. Why don't you come and kill me."
Li Shimin suddenly became angry and raised his sword to strike. But at this moment, Qin Yu suddenly raised his head and stretched out his neck, as if he was going to kill him with his neck. Li Shimin suddenly realized, "This is asking for death again."
One stop.
At this time, Li Lizhi suddenly screamed, "Ah!", then rushed to Qin Yu, stretched out her arms, blocked Li Shimin's sword, and cried out in a sob. "No, father, don't kill Qin Yu."
Lang, woo woo woo...".
"Your Majesty, please forgive me." Qin Qiong burst into tears. The Qin family finally had a good life, but if it was ruined like this, how could Qin Qiong still have the face to meet his ancestors?
Cheng Yao Jin Tie's face was green, and he glared at Qin Yu, wishing he could go up and peel off Qin Yu's skin. The invitations had been sent out, but Qin Yu slept with the princess at this time. What kind of thing is this? He didn't want to help, but in the end
Still couldn't hold it back, he just had to help Qin Qiong.
In the end, Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth and begged, "Your Majesty, please have mercy." However, the meaning of pleading in his words was not obvious.
Li Shimin stood there silently, and the others also stopped talking, waiting for Li Shimin to speak. After half an hour, Li Shimin looked at Li Lizhi, who was frightened but insisted on blocking Qin Yu, and snorted coldly, "
snort!".
"Father." Li Lizhi trembled in fright, but did not move away at all. She still stretched out her arms to block Qin Yu.
"Shut up." Li Shimin stared, then looked to Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin on the side, and asked, "Two dear friends, how should we handle this matter?".
Qin Qiong felt happy when she heard Li Shimin's words, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say.
Obviously, Li Shimin has given up the idea of killing Qin Yu for the time being, but there must be a solution. There is no way, just marry Princess Changle, but what should Cheng Yaojin do?
The invitations have been sent out, and everyone who came to attend the wedding is already on their way. If Cheng Lingyun doesn't marry Cheng Lingyun, Cheng Yaojin's face will be greatly lost, and if word spreads like this, Li Shimin's face will also be lost.
, it doesn’t sound good if word spreads that the princess stole her husband.
Another way is to marry two people at the same time, but how could Cheng Yaojin agree to Cheng Lingyun as his concubine? Qin Qiong couldn't say this. It would be against patriarchal ethics to marry them both as wives, not to mention that one of them involves a princess.
Cheng Yaojin's face froze, he glanced at Li Shimin strangely, and then quickly lowered his head. Cheng Yaojin finally understood that he was waiting for him to speak again.
After muttering for a long time, Cheng Yaojin said with a dark face, "Your Majesty, you are taking advantage of this boy. We will marry them together, but Lingyun cannot be my concubine."
Cheng Yaojin was absolutely opposed to Cheng Lingyun becoming a concubine, so he made such a suggestion that went against patriarchal ethics.
It is said that after Li Shimin learned that Princess Changle was staying at Qingfengju, his first thought was to kill Qin Yu to cover up the matter. However, Qin Yu could not kill her at will, as that would chill Qin Qiong's heart. Qin Qiong played a big role in Li Shimin's heart.
light.
Although Queen Changsun was also very angry, she had more to think about than the furious Li Shimin. If Qin Yu hadn't slept with Princess Changle, then this matter would have been over. At most, she could find an excuse, such as asking about the treatment for Queen Changsun's health.
The recipe.
But once they sleep together, the problem will be big. There is no reason to kill. After all, Qin Yu dared not force the princess to stay even after eating the heart of a bear. That is the responsibility of the princess. It is not good to spread it, and it will damage the majesty of the royal family.
So the only result is not to kill.
But this matter must be resolved properly. If Princess Changle really sleeps with Qin Yu, Qin Yu can only ask Qin Yu to marry the princess, but Cheng Yaojin can't justify it, so Queen Changsun gave Li Shimin a suggestion, asking Li Shimin to take care of him
Go to Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin together.
The purpose is very simple, just to get Cheng Yaojin to speak on his own. Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty will be unstable if the monarch and his ministers are separated. Qin Qiong is the middleman. With Qin Qiong here, Cheng Yaojin will take Qin Qiong's feelings into consideration, so this matter is basically
It can be settled.
Li Shimin frowned, and after a while he sighed, "That's it, that's all."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Qiong, who looked surprised, and Cheng Yaojin, who had a dark face, bowed together.
"Thank you, Father." Li Lizhi cried with joy when she heard this and said with choked sobs.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Yu's anxious heart finally fell to the ground. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him quickly, but he thought secretly in his heart.
"Can this be done? Two wives? In ancient times, there was only one wife. It has been a long time since princes had no direct descendants. They could only marry one wife, and the rest were all concubines. One wife and two equal wives. That only appeared in the Qing Dynasty. This
There is no time."
Li Shimin glared at Qin Yu, then looked at Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, and said, "You two Qing family members should think about how to persuade the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, let's say Wei Zheng. Otherwise, this guy will be killed as well. I'll give it to you."
Half an hour."
Li Shimin had no choice but to force Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin to work together to find a way to force Qin Yu to marry two wives. It was not impossible, but when the time came, there would be countless people who opposed it. This was not the result Li Shimin wanted to see.
As soon as Li Shimin's words came to the ground, everyone's hearts were in suspense again.
The corner of Qin Yu's mouth twitched, "Sure enough, the Tang Dynasty can only have one wife. What's going on? If you don't marry the princess, you will die. It doesn't make sense to marry both." When he thought of this, Qin Yu became a little anxious, but when he arrived,
It’s not like I hate Li Lizhi because of this.
After Li Lizhi heard what Li Shimin said, she started to cry again, but she didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that Li Shimin would take back what he just said and kill Qin Yu on the spot, but she couldn't think of any way to solve this problem.
Only then did Li Lizhi realize that she thought things were too simple, thinking that she could snatch Qin Yu away with this, but it turned out that Qin Yu was very likely to lose his life for this, and he regretted it. He was worried that it was Li Lizhi at this moment.
Mood.
Although Cheng Yaojin was careful, he was not as talkative as Wei Zheng and others, so he couldn't think of a solution after much deliberation.
Qin Qiong frowned and walked back and forth, while Li Shimin stood there with his sword back in its sheath, but his hand was still pressed on the hilt. As long as there was no clear answer for half an hour, Li Shimin was ready to kill Qin Yu to avoid passing the news.
What a joke.
After a while, Qin Qiong suddenly stopped and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to give up my position as Duke. I only ask that Your Majesty agree to allow my nephew to marry his wife."
When Qin Yu heard this, he was immediately moved. Qin Qiong couldn't think of a way, so he used his contribution to exchange for Qin Yu's future. How could Qin Yu not be moved?
Li Shimin frowned and shook his head without hesitation, "I don't agree. Your credit belongs to you, how can you transfer it to this son?".
"Your Majesty." Qin Qiong still wanted to beg for mercy and wanted Li Shimin to agree, but Li Shimin shook his head firmly, "No."
But at this moment, Qin Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly said, "Your Majesty, if there is a crop that can yield at least ten stones per mu, and the common people dedicate it to the Tang Dynasty, how much credit will it be considered?".
Li Shimin heard Qin Yu speak, and immediately looked over. Unexpectedly, Qin Yu suddenly dropped a bombshell on him, and he was shocked, "What?".
Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others were also shocked by Qin Yu's words. They both looked over. They both thought that Qin Yu would be seeking death if he spoke nonsense again.
"The grass-roots people say that there is a crop that can yield at least ten shi per mu. The grass-roots people are willing to dedicate this crop to Your Majesty." Qin Yu said calmly.
"Do you know the crime of deceiving the emperor? Even your father-in-law will be implicated by you." Li Shimin is an emperor after all. After a short shock, he regained his composure, frowned, and asked, with a hint of emotion in his words.
rebuke.
Obviously, Li Shimin didn't believe what Qin Yu said and thought it was nonsense. The yield of fields in the Tang Dynasty was only one stone per mu, but Qin Yu said that there were crops that could produce ten stones per mu. How could that be possible?
Qin Yu's expression did not change at all, he nodded seriously, and said, "The common people know, but everything the common people say is true, but I don't know if this thing can be used in exchange for His Majesty to make an exception and allow the common people to marry the left and right wives."
But it was Qin Qiong's words that reminded Qin Yu of some ancient things. Before the Song Dynasty, Jia Chong and several others were specially allowed by the emperor to have left and right wives, and the two wives had equal status.
Therefore, Qin Yu thought of using his merits in exchange for Li Shimin to make an exception and marry the left and right wives, which would also give Li Shimin an excuse to silence the world.
Seeing Qin Yu's insistence, Li Shimin finally believed it, but Qin Yu's words sounded like a deal. He was a little unhappy and frowned. After a moment, he said, "If what you said is true, then
It’s not like I can’t make an exception.”
"However, if what you say is false, then I will take off your head, and Duke Yi and Duke Lu will also be severely punished."
Qin Yu did not panic at all. He smiled slightly, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, everything the common people say is true."
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. The matter of Princess Changle was finally resolved, so he was naturally happy, but more importantly, he was helpless, but this Li Shimin would not show it.
What Qin Yu said about the crops yielding ten stones per mu really made Li Shimin tempted. Otherwise, he would not have smiled just because the princess's matter was resolved. This was an unexpected gain.
If what Qin Yu said is true, it can be imagined that in the future of the Tang Dynasty, the people will have enough food and clothing, the world will be peaceful, and he will definitely be able to leave his name in history and be the emperor for eternity.
By then, the Tang Dynasty would be so powerful that even if it was to open up new territories, it would not have the slightest burden. As a heroic leader, how could he miss out on the great achievements of opening up new territories?
Qin Yu was very confident about the yield of sweet potatoes per acre. It was Qin Yu who said ten stones. Only then did Qin Yu feel relieved and secretly sighed, "This princess is really cheap. You can exchange it for just a few pieces of sweet potatoes."
