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

"Reporting to Father, this matter is exactly what Mr. Qin mentioned."

Li Chengqian cupped his hands and said.

"Why did Qin Yu tell you this?"

Based on Li Shimin's perception of Qin Yu, he is not a bored and nosy person.

For no reason, why did Qin Yu mention this matter?

Li Chengqian knew that he couldn't hide it from his father, so he told Qin Yu the detailed process of how they chatted with Qin Yu and how they mentioned the marriage of close relatives.

Li Shimin heard the words, looked at Li Lizhi, and probably understood something in his heart.

"Don't say anything about it beforehand, I have made my own decision, you go back first."

"Yes!"

Li Chengqian agreed and was about to leave.

However, Li Lizhi stood still and didn't want to move, the expression on her face looked a little anxious and anxious.

"Lizhi, do you have anything else to do?"

Seeing that Li Li was not moving, Li Shimin asked.

Li Lizhi bit her lip, then knelt on the ground and begged:
"Father, I request you to cancel my marriage with Changsun Chong."

"Beautiful!"

Empress Changsun was shocked, she didn't expect Li Lizhi to make this request suddenly.

"Father, mother, the results were investigated by the son and the emperor together. The son believes that what Mr. Qin said is true. My cousin and I are close relatives, and we are not suitable for marriage."

"Mother, even if you don't think about your son, you should always think about the next generation of the eldest grandson's family. Marrying your cousin is harmful rather than beneficial."

"Father, Queen Mother, please complete your sons and ministers."

Li Lizhi knelt on the ground, grabbed Li Shimin's robe and begged.

Originally, she didn't like Chang Sun Chong, but after meeting Qin Yu, she disliked Chang Sun Chong even more.

Moreover, Chang Sun Chong was young, and before he got married, he already had several maids, and besides that, he often hang out in brothels.

It's really not her favorite person.

"Lizhi, you are presumptuous, is marriage a joke?"

Empress Changsun reprimanded:
"Why don't you hurry up, you and Chong'er are due to get married next month, won't this nonsense embarrass your father?"

It's not that Empress Changsun doesn't feel sorry for her daughter.

It's just that the imperial decree of the marriage has been issued and the date of the wedding has been set. If you make changes at this time, what is your majesty's prestige?

Wouldn't it make people in the world laugh at the majestic emperor of Tang Dynasty for his dishonesty?
"Royal father, queen mother... Please do it well."

Li Lizhi knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

Li Chengqian also stood up at this time and said:
"Father, mother, and son-in-law also feel that the marriage of the emperor's sister needs to be reconsidered."

When investigating this result, he saw with his own eyes many children with disabilities due to close relatives getting married.

Li Lizhi was his sister, and he didn't want her to go through this too.

"Gao Ming, why are you so confused, you brothers and sisters are like this, where do you put your father? Where is his prestige and face?"

It's not that Empress Changsun doesn't believe in the results they brought, but what's the use of believing?

It would not be of any benefit to Datang to regret the marriage at this time.

On the contrary, it will chill the elder brother's heart, and alienate the relationship between His Majesty and elder brother.

Suddenly, Li Shimin, who had never spoken, glanced at Li Lizhi, and said slowly, "Get up first."

"Father?"

Li Lizhi looked up at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin sighed and reached out to help Li Lizhi up.

"Silly boy, if you don't want to marry, then don't marry."

After all, she is the daughter of his wife, and Li Shimin loves her from the bottom of his heart. Seeing Li Lizhi's tearful eyes, he also loves her very much.

Since Lizhi doesn't want to marry, why should he force her?
"Thank you, father." Li Lizhi burst into tears instantly.

Empress Changsun looked worried, "Erlang..."

Li Shimin waved his hand, "No problem."

"Royal father promised you to cancel your marriage with Changsun Chong, but you can't say anything about it now. You have to follow the royal father's arrangement, okay?"

"it is good."

Li Lizhi answered firmly.

"Okay, you guys go down first."

"My son retire."

Li Chengqian and Li Lizhi left at the same time.

Empress Changsun looked worried,
"Erlang, why did you agree to Lizhi?"

Li Shimin sighed and said, "Maid Guanyin, you just heard that Gao Ming and Lizhi said that the reason they went to investigate was because they listened to Qin Yu."

Empress Changsun nodded.

I heard Li Shimin go on to say:

"Qin Yu wouldn't tell them these things for no reason. From Gao Ming's point of view, Qin Yu must have taken a fancy to Lizhi."

"This……"

Empress Changsun did not expect this to happen.

"Erlang means that Qin Yu did this on purpose?"

Li Shimin shook his head,
"The disclosure of this information may be intentional, but what he said is indeed true. A large part of the reason for the slow population growth of my Datang is related to this."

"If we want to change this atmosphere, we have to start with ourselves, starting with the royal family."

"Besides, if I don't know about this matter, that's all. Now that I know, and let Lizhi marry Chong'er, what's the difference between pushing Lizhi into a pit of fire?"

Empress Changsun did not speak.

Li Shimin also made a lot of sense, if His Majesty forbids the intermarriage of close relatives, but let Lizhi marry Chong'er, it is really inappropriate.

But if the marriage is canceled like this, it will not be very good for the reputation of His Majesty and Lizhi.

This is where things get difficult.

"Isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds?"

Li Shimin pondered for a while and said:

"There is a way, but we may not be able to say anything about this person."

"who is it?"

"Father!"

Li Yuan is the most suitable person Li Shimin can think of to come forward to solve this matter.

But since the change of Xuanwumen, the relationship between their father and son has been bad, and Li Yuan has never come out in Taiji Palace.

It is difficult to get him to come forward.

And Li Shimin was still thinking about another question.

That is, Changsun Wuji didn't like Qin Yu in the first place. If he knew that it was Qin Yu who brought up the matter that close relatives could not get married, he would definitely hate Qin Yu to the bone.

Li Zhi wanted to be with Qin Yu at that time, but he was afraid that he would be a hindrance.

About Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin didn't tell Empress Changsun. One reason was that he didn't think it was necessary, and the other was that he didn't want her to worry so much.

After all, she had just given birth not long ago.

"Father?"

Empress Changsun was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, she could figure out the reason.

After all, the identity of the emperor is there, as long as he opposes Li Zhi's marriage, then His Majesty must take his feelings into consideration.

"It's very good, and the emperor can't just say that he doesn't agree or disagree? There must be a reason, right?"

"Besides, I didn't have any objections to marrying my father back then, so it's not appropriate to stand up and object now."

Queen Changsun frowned and said.

Li Shimin nodded, then smiled mysteriously,
"Father must be bored in Taiji Palace, let Lizhi take him out of the palace tomorrow to listen to the storybook, let's relax!"
