Chapter 45 There is a result
"You are a big celebrity now. Although you don't know it among the people, everyone in the circle of lords knows about it." Cheng Chumo said.

"How did I become a big celebrity?" Lin Xuan asked puzzled.

How come I don't know when I became famous?
"Do you remember your last word?" Cheng Chumo asked.

"Didn't you take that word? Could it be because of that word?" Lin Xuan asked.

Cheng Chumo nodded, and said: "The words and the poem on them have been praised by His Majesty. Your Majesty asked for the words from my father, and has been fond of them ever since."

It turned out that in the era when imperial power was supreme, the emperor's love could indeed make him famous.

"Even so, why should I go to the poetry meeting?"

Lin Xuan didn't plan to attend any poetry fair, and he didn't expect to be famous for it.

"Lin Xuan, just help us." Cheng Chumo said with a flattering face.

"Isn't it just a poetry meeting? Why do you take it so seriously?"

Based on Lin Xuan's understanding of them, they are not the kind of people who love fame.

Li Dezhen explained: "Lin Xuan is like this..."

Through Li Deju's explanation, Lin Xuan knew what was going on.

The poetry meeting was held by Li Tai, King of Yue. Li Tai was talented, intelligent and fond of poetry since he was a child.

Although he is only 12 years old now, he is well-known among scholars.

Li Tai holds several poetry gatherings every year, and all famous talents or sons of lords can attend.

Cheng Chumo and the others also went to participate a few times, but because of their limited educational level, they were laughed at by those civil servants every time.

After a few times, they never went again.

This time they came to find Lin Xuan to go together, just to avenge their shame.

As for whether they would lose, they never thought about it.

Lin Xuan's poem was appreciated by Li Shimin, how could he lose?

Lin Xuan didn't want to go at all, wouldn't he just stay at home?
But Cheng Chumo and the three couldn't stand it anymore, they were soft-spoken, so they had no choice but to agree.

"The poetry meeting is scheduled for three days later, and the theme is snow. You should prepare well these few days." Seeing Lin Xuan's agreement, Cheng Chumo and the others said quickly.

Lin Xuan nodded. Taking snow as the topic is not difficult, and he already has a few songs in his mind.

The goal has been achieved, and the three of Cheng Chumo are ready to go back.

When he was leaving, Cheng Chumo still thought about walking along Lin Xuan's rocking chair.

In the end, Lin Xuan agreed to make one for them before giving up.

Lin Xuan added a piece of clothing and sent them outside the door.

"Don't forget our stove and rocking chair, you'd better hurry up." Cheng Chumo said.

"understood."

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes, you are asking for debt!

The three got on their horses and prepared to leave.

"Wait, do you want another heated kang? If so, I'll ask someone to install it for you." Lin Xuan asked.

He didn't plan to use these things to make money, and getting them all would also deepen their relationship.

"Yes, as long as you have it, get us a copy."

Although they didn't know what a kang was, what Lin Xuan brought out were all good things.

After seeing off the three of them, Lin Xuan returned to the yard.

Ask someone to inform Liu Laoer to continue to produce stoves, the more the better.

Let those masons go to Su Guogong's mansion to make a kang for Cheng Chumo.

……

Wei Zheng spent three days investigating 1000 people who were married to close relatives and [-] people who were not married to close relatives, and the results he got were shocking.

What those people said was true, even more serious than what they said.

With the results of the investigation, Wei Zheng prepared to enter the palace to meet Li Shimin and report the matter.

But he gave up again when he got to the door.

This matter is of great importance, it is better to bring it to the court and discuss it.

Wei Zheng returned to his study and began to write the memorial.

……

next morning morning

In the main hall of the Taiji Palace, there are many civil and military officials. Li Shimin listened to the performance of the officials and gave his own opinions on how to deal with it.

From the corner of Li Shimin's eyes, he kept looking at Wei Zheng.

"It's been three days, and there should be a result." Li Shimin thought to himself.

The morning court was about the same. When no one played, Li Shimin said: "Since there is no one to play, let's stop here this morning."

"Report to Your Majesty, the subject has a book to play." Wei Zheng came out and said.

If it was normal, Li Shimin would still have a headache when he saw Wei Zheng going out, wondering where he had caught him again.

But today he knew Wei Zheng's purpose.

Li Shimin said calmly, "Oh, what does Wei Aiqing want to play?"

"Your Majesty, I heard in the market that there is a genius doctor who said that the marriage of close relatives is very harmful. I didn't believe it at first, but after I had someone investigate, I found out that this statement is true." Wei Zheng said with a heavy face.

Wei Zheng's words caused an uproar among the officials. It was the first time they had heard of intermarriage between close relatives since ancient times.

But they all knew what Wei Zheng was like, and felt that it was probably true.

Changsun Wuji took a deep look at Wei Zheng, not knowing Wei Zheng's purpose for doing this.

He didn't doubt the truth of Wei Zheng's words, since he dared to say it in the morning, it must be true.

When his son was about to confirm his marriage with Princess Changle, Wei Zheng broke the news, did he have other intentions?
"Oh, there is such a thing? The results of the investigation, show me." Li Shimin said pretending to be surprised.

"Please take a look, Your Majesty!" Wei Zheng held the memorial in both hands and raised it above his head.

Li Mu trotted over to take the memorial and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin opened the memorial and read it.

After reading it, Li Shimin's face became gloomy, and he handed the memorial to Li Mu, motioning him to show it to other ministers.

There are so many civil and military officials, of course it is impossible to watch them all.

Zuo Pushe and several chief officials from the three provinces and six ministries finished it, and the memorial returned to Li Shimin's hands.

"You have all read the memorial, do you have anything to say?" Li Shimin asked.

"This…"

A group of people looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Normally, they would definitely say that they would cancel the intermarriage of close relatives immediately.

But now that the marriage between Changsun Wuji's son and Princess Changle is about to be confirmed, they will undoubtedly offend Changsun Wuji by speaking.

Although Changsun Wuji only has a title and no official position, no one dares to underestimate him.

Li Shimin frowned deeply. Is Changsun Wuji already so powerful?None of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty dared to offend him.

"Your Majesty, I believe that it should be announced to the world that intermarriage between close relatives is prohibited from now on, and offenders will be punished severely." Fang Xuanling came out and said.

"Senior minister!" Changsun Wuji came out and said.

He has been with Li Shimin for so many years and knows Li Shimin very well.

If you don't express your opinion, then you will be gradually alienated in the future.

Others couldn't believe it when they saw the speaker.

But since Changsun Wuji has spoken, what are they still worried about, and they all said:
"The minister reconsider!"

Seeing this, Li Shimin's face looked much better.

"I declare to the world that intermarriage between close relatives will be prohibited from now on, and offenders will be punished severely. The Ministry of Rites must do a good job of publicity so that the people know the dangers of intermarriage between close relatives." Li Shimin said.
