Mrs. Su rolled her eyes at Su Dan and ordered someone to call her daughter Su Waner and son Su Gui.
Before the son and daughter arrived, the maid had already brought the food.
Not long after, Su Waner and Su Gui came over.
"My daughter has met her father and mother." Su Waner saluted.
Su Waner is only twelve years old. Although she looks beautiful, she is a little green.
Su Dan looked at Su Wan'er, as if he was seeing a peerless treasure, and said with a smile: "Wan'er, sit down quickly, you must be hungry, come on, come on, let's eat."
Mrs. Su glared at Su Dan speechlessly. Although Su Dan was very good to her daughter, she usually asked her son first.
Today, not only is God nagging, but I don’t even have a son in my eyes.
"Thank you, dad." Su Waner was also a little flattered.
"Why are you being polite to dad? Sit down quickly." Su Gui said with a smile.
Mrs. Su said: "Gui'er, please sit down too."
Su Dan only now discovered Su Gui's existence and said quickly: "Gui'er, please sit down too."
After the family sat down, Mrs. Su said angrily: "Master, can we talk now?"
"Your Majesty today..." Su Dan suddenly stopped and said to the serving maid: "You all can go down. No one is allowed to come in without my permission!"
"yes!"
"Master, what on earth is going on? It's so mysterious." Mrs. Su's curiosity had long been aroused by Su Dan.
Su Dan saw that the maid had withdrawn and whispered: "Your Majesty is going to let His Highness the Crown Prince marry Wan'er as the Crown Princess."
"What!"
Even though Mrs. Su was very well-behaved, she still stood up in shock when she heard the news.
Su Wan'er's mouth was slightly open, her face was dull, and she was obviously surprised.
Only Su Gui didn't pay attention to what her parents said. She stared at the dishes on the table and swallowed.
"What are you yelling about? Your Majesty hasn't granted you the marriage yet. Sit down quickly!" Su Dan scolded.
Mrs. Su came back to her senses and asked in a low voice with joy on her face: "Master, is this true?"
Su Dan nodded and said: "Of course it is true, His Majesty said this himself."
Mrs. Su asked with some worries: "The master just said that Your Majesty has not yet granted marriage. Will there be any changes in this matter?"
It's not her fault, this is the prince, the future emperor.
If her daughter becomes the crown princess, she will be the mother-in-law of the future emperor. Except for a few, is there a more noble woman in the world than her?
"Impossible, otherwise His Majesty wouldn't be able to find me. It's such a big deal for a prince to marry a concubine. Your Majesty must choose a good day to grant the marriage." Su Dan shook his head.
The prince's decision to marry a concubine must have been carefully considered by Li Shimin.
As long as Su Waner doesn't have any problems, there will be no change of heart.
Mrs. Su murmured: "That's good, that's good..."
Su Dan looked at his wife and explained: "Your Majesty has not granted the marriage yet. If others find out, it is inevitable that some people will be jealous and do evil in secret. So we cannot reveal it yet."
There are so many people in Chang'an who want their daughter to become a princess.
If word spreads about this without the marriage being granted, who knows what someone will do.
But the marriage grant is different. No matter who dares to mess up, they will have to bear Li Shimin's thunderous wrath.
"Don't worry, sir, I know about this," Mrs. Su said.
Mrs. Su is not stupid. Of course she knows such a simple truth.
Su Dan looked at Su Waner and Su Gui and said, "You are not allowed to tell this matter either."
"Yes!" Su Waner and Su Gui responded.
Neither Su Dan nor Mrs. Su asked Su Waner what she thought.
In fact, there was no need to ask. Su Waner was very happy when she learned that she was going to become the crown princess.
The words of my parents about ordering a matchmaker have penetrated deep into my bones.
In ancient times, women had few opportunities to meet strange men. For them, the easiest thing to know about their future husband was his identity.
Is there anyone with better status and family background than Li Chengqian now?
Therefore, when Su Waner learned that she was going to become the crown princess, she had no objection at all.
There is so much love at first sight in the world.
Falling in love at first sight is all about appearance and family background.
There must be other factors, but they are definitely external things.
And Li Chengqian's identity can make most women in the world fall in love with him without even meeting him.
…
Tai Chi Hall, Morning Dynasty
Lin Xuan usually dozed off listening to these trivial things.
But not today, he has something to do.
After more than half an hour, no one came to play.
According to normal procedures, we should announce our withdrawal from the DPRK.
But it didn't happen today, and the hall fell into silence. Everyone knew that Li Shimin must have something to say.
Li Shimin looked around and said: "The official roads have been in disrepair for a long time. I intend to repair them again. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, no! The world has not been at peace for long, and people's livelihood is in decline. If there are a lot of signs at this time that the people are repairing official roads, the people will simply not be able to bear it. Has your Majesty forgotten Emperor Yang of Sui?" Wei Zheng said loudly.
What Wei Zheng said was correct, but his words made Li Shimin very unhappy.
Li Shimin said with a gloomy face: "You mean, if I want to cultivate officialdom, my country will be destroyed?"
Li Shimin aspired to become a wise king, but Wei Zheng compared him to Yang Guang. How could he not be angry!
Wei Zheng was not afraid and said: "Your Majesty, did Emperor Sui Yang make mistakes in building the Grand Canal and conquering Goguryeo? It was because he recruited a large number of civilians and ignored the people's strength that the world was in chaos!"
"Presumptuous!" Li Shimin shouted.
It is said all over the world that Yang Guang built the Grand Canal for pleasure.
However, Yang Guang's original intention was to strengthen the practice of north and south to facilitate the rule and develop the economy.
The rumors among the people were deliberately propagated by those who raised armies when the world was in chaos.
If they want to rebel, they must have great righteousness.
After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, in order to show that it was in compliance with God's will, it also publicized it vigorously.
But many of the ministers in the Manchu Dynasty knew the actual facts, but no one dared to mention them.
Wei Zheng's move directly tore away the fig leaf.
"Your Majesty, calm down. Mr. Wei is just worried that recruiting a large number of civilians will arouse public anger." Fang Xuanling came out and said.
Although Wei Zheng was upright and somewhat seeking death, he did not seek death and did not say anything else.
Of course, if Li Shimin did not listen to the advice, he would definitely continue to give advice.
Li Shimin took a few breaths and said: "Since recruiting civilian laborers is not possible, then hire civilian laborers to build roads."
Tang Jian went out and said: "Your Majesty, if you hire civilian men, it will require a lot of money, and the Ministry of Revenue cannot afford it. I hope your Majesty will think twice!"
He almost said directly, "Your Majesty, if you don't have money, please stop messing around."
Li Shimin said angrily: "If we can't conscript people and there's no money for hiring, is it possible that the official system in the world will not be repaired?"
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Everyone shouted in unison.
"Calm down your anger, what else can you say besides saying this? No one can share my worries! What's the use of you?" Li Shimin said angrily.
"Your Majesty! I am willing to donate 100,000 yuan to hire people to build official roads!" Lin Xuan said loudly.
As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, the Tai Chi Hall fell silent.
Everyone looked at Lin Xuan in surprise.
Lin Xuan ignored the others and looked forward, with a righteous look on his face.
"Okay!" Li Shimin cheered loudly, looked at the others, and reprimanded: "You all are learning from Lin Xuan. You know that this won't work and that won't work all day long. There is no actual action."
Study with Lin Xuan, what should you learn?
Of course I should imitate him in donating money.
No one is a fool, and it soon became apparent that Li Shimin and Lin Xuan were acting.
"Your Majesty, I am donating 50,000 yuan!" Cheng Yaojin said loudly.
Cheng Yaojin made a lot of money from Shenxianzui and Furniture Factory, but he still felt pain in his face after donating 50,000 yuan.
"I am willing to donate 50,000 yuan!"
"I donated ten thousand guan!"
…
For a time, all the voices wanted to donate money.
Anyone with a title in the court, the lowest is an earl.
Having learned from the past, no one dares to be stingy, and the minimum donation is 5,000 guan.
Those who were in junior positions and did not have titles also donated hundreds to a thousand guan.
Although everyone had a smile on their face, they were all cursing Lin Xuan in their hearts.
Lin Xuan could probably guess what they were thinking, but he didn't care.
These were all discussed between him and Li Shimin.
He has money, let alone 100,000 guan, he can donate even 1 million guan.
But others will definitely be reluctant to part with it, so it doesn’t mean much.
It's different if he donates 100,000 yuan. Although they will definitely not donate that much, they will grit their teeth and donate more.
