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

"The marriage of close relatives is related to the population of the Tang Dynasty. As the king of a country, His Majesty should take the lead. Therefore, Princess Changle's marriage is the first to be revoked."

After making a plan, Qin Yu spoke lightly.

As soon as he made a sound, Li Lizhi and Li Shimin looked at him at the same time.

"But in this way, wouldn't father's reputation be damaged?"

"Yes, it is a big taboo to change the order day by day without keeping promises."

Li Chengqian agreed.

Li Shimin also looked at Qin Yu. The reason why he was unable to make a decision was also because of this problem.

Qin Yu chuckled, "It's true that changing orders from day to day is a big taboo, but it also depends on what the matter is. Things like the marriage of close relatives must be done by His Majesty. Come and issue this ban."

"If it were someone else, the effect would be much worse, especially for Princess Changle's marriage. His Majesty personally ordered the cancellation, which is much better than Zhao Guogong's request to cancel the marriage.

One is active, the other is passive, and the effect is obviously different.

And since you want to take the lead, you have to dare to be the first in the world.

If the king of a country does not do it, how can he ask others? "

Qin Yu talked eloquently.

After hearing this, Li Shimin realized that his thoughts and structure were restricted by his identity.

He only thought that the king of a country should establish prestige, but he forgot that the king of a country should also set an example.

He was only worried about leaving a bad impression in the hearts of his courtiers, but he ignored that the people are the foundation of the country.

Li Shimin saluted Qin Yu politely and said, "Mr. really awakened the dreamer with one word. I know what to do."

Li Shimin got up and left.

Early the next morning.

Li Shimin went to the court, and without waiting for everyone to speak, he took the lead and said: "This morning, I have two things to announce!"

The voice fell.

Civil and military officials looked at each other, not understanding what Li Shimin was about to announce suddenly.

And no one in the entire court knew what these two things were.

This shows that he did not discuss with civil and military officials at all in advance.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Li Shimin's voice sounded slowly.

"First, according to the results of the investigation, the marriage of close relatives is not conducive to the reproduction and growth of the Datang population. Therefore, from today, the Tang Dynasty prohibits close marriages."

"What?"

"Prohibition of consanguineous marriage?"

"This... This is clearly a rumor, how can His Majesty believe it?"

"Besides, close relatives are forbidden to get married, so what about Princess Changle?"

Li Shimin's voice fell, and the civil and military officials immediately exploded.

There were discussions.

Changsun Wuji was also dumbfounded.

Why did His Majesty suddenly announce this news?
What will he do?
What about the marriage between Princess Changle and Chong'er?
Changsun Wuji had just finished thinking and had no time to ask.

Then I heard Li Shimin say: "Second thing, as the king of a country, I should set an example for the people of the world. I must take the lead in prohibiting the marriage of close relatives. Therefore, I announce that Princess Changle will be cancelled. Chang Sun Chong's marriage."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he felt relieved.

After saying this, he found that it was not as difficult as he imagined.

Moreover, Changsun Chong and Lizhi's marriage was also facilitated by Changsun Wuji, and he couldn't get rid of his affection at the beginning.

Now that he has made it clear, he feels a lot more relaxed.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. How could you cancel the marriage between Princess Changle and Changsun Chong just because of a rumor?"

After Changsun Wuji came back to his senses, he hurriedly spoke.

Li Shimin shook his head, "I'm sorry for the auxiliary machine, but Lizhi cannot marry Chong'er. Of course, apart from Lizhi, I can marry any princess as long as you wish."

Li Shimin really felt guilty about his eldest grandson Wuji.

Changsun Wuji gave a wry smile.

Apart from Princess Changle, how can other people make him look good?
"Your Majesty, the old minister is fine, I'm just afraid that Chong'er will be sad."

Changsun Wuji originally believed that Li Shimin would not dare to take the initiative to cancel the engagement because of his face and the prestige of the monarch.

But he didn't expect Li Shimin to be so straightforward.

It caught him off guard.

"Chong'er, I will make up for him." Li Shimin said with a sigh.

Then he glanced at the civil and military officials, "Do you love me, do you have other things to report? If not, then retreat to court."

"His Majesty!"

"I have something to announce!"

"I think it is inappropriate to prohibit the marriage of close relatives."

As soon as a civil official stood up and said, Li Shimin waved his hand.

"My imperial decree has been issued on this matter, so please don't discuss it again."

If there was a need for discussion, why did he directly issue an order?

"Your Majesty, I also have something to announce. Then Qin Yu ate and drank in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice under the banner of storytelling, causing a foul atmosphere. Please punish him severely."

"Oh?"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.

"You mean Qin Yu? It's true that I ordered him to tell the story in the cell. It was a good story, and I went to listen to it yesterday."

I don't know whether it was influenced by Qin Yu, or Qin Yu gave Li Shimin courage.

Facing civil and military officials, especially those from aristocratic families, it was the first time that Li Shimin showed such toughness.

"This... Your Majesty!"

"Okay, ministers don't need to say much, let alone the prison of the Ministry of punishment, it is the palace. As long as Qin Yu wants to come, I will allow him to come."

Li Shimin directly stopped them from continuing.

The ministers looked at each other in puzzlement.

Before, His Majesty refused to face this issue head-on, but today, he actually said such words in public.

It's unbelievable.

"Your Majesty, don't let that Qin Yu bewitch you."

"Humph!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly and clapped his hands. Soon, someone brought snow-white fine salt, exquisite horseshoes and watermelon seeds, and placed them in front of all civil and military officials.

"That's all, take a look, it's all made by Qin Yu, a storyteller you despise, and what about you?"

"With my salary and food grown by the common people, have you done anything decent?"

"Anyone of you can surpass Qin Yu, and I am willing to be bewitched by you!"

There was a hint of anger in Li Shimin's tone.

Bewitched?

Is he a fool who doesn't know right from wrong?

Since they were rude to him, he didn't need to take into account the relationship between the monarch and his ministers to save face for them.

"What are these things?"

Xiao Yu asked with a puzzled expression.

Especially the white things on the plate, except for snowflakes, he had never seen anything so white.

"Fang Xuanling, come and tell them, what is this?"

Li Shimin was too lazy to explain, and it would be humiliating for him to explain everything, so he called Fang Xuanling to stand up.

Fang Xuanling introduced the three items on the plate one by one.

Li Jing finished speaking.

Manchu civil and military were shocked.

"Is this salt?"

"horseshoe?"

"watermelon???"

Why don't they know any of them?
Some people didn't believe it, reached out and pinched a pinch of fine salt and tasted it.

The salty aroma in their mouths made them sure that it was the taste of salt.

But why are they silent?
