Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 687 The Dowry
Chapter 712 Dowry
Generally speaking, although the emperor's daughter has a noble status, she can only get the title before she gets married or when she dies.

The princesses of the Tang Dynasty were different. Li Lizhi was conferred the title of princess of Changle County when she was eight years old. At that time, she already had three thousand households.

You know, even Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui only had [-] fiefdoms.

Even though there is a difference between monarch and minister, as a princess, Li Lizhi's great honor and favor can still be seen!
A few years ago, Li Shimin's younger sister, Princess Yongjia, held a big wedding.

As Li Shimin's younger sister, the dowry is fairly generous.

But now, there is a censor who has given advice on the fact that the dowry given by Li Shimin's married daughter is too generous.

Their reason is very clear, His Majesty marrying a daughter is twice as rich as his sister's dowry, this is not good, it is a disrespect to the late emperor.

Li Shimin was naturally displeased when he heard this, and said angrily, "What's wrong with adding a dowry to my married daughter? Can't I just love my favorite daughter?"

When a princess marries a daughter, Zong Zhengqing is usually responsible for the dowry, which is arranged according to the title and rank of the princess.

Before the eldest princess of Yongjia got married, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson queen both gave rewards.

But no matter how much you give, you can’t almost empty your own coffers, right?

That's just my sister, not my daughter!

Princess Changle is different. Although she is not Li Shimin's eldest daughter, she is the eldest daughter!
The eldest princess has always been loved by Li Shimin, how could she pick up the same things as his sister when she got married?Even his other newborn daughters are incomparable to Li Lizhi!

He didn't ask other people to help out the money, it's all his and his wife's savings!It's none of their business!Talkative!
In the past, Li Shimin still respected these censors. After all, he could tolerate even Wei Zheng, who was in charge of whether he had a pet bird, let alone other low-end versions?

But this time, he was really angry!

After hearing this, Shang Dynasty immediately turned his face and left.

After hearing about this, Empress Changsun tried to persuade Li Shimin, thinking that what the censor said was not unreasonable, but this time, Li Shimin didn't listen to Empress Changsun, and instead said to Empress Changsun: "It's not good for a niece to surpass my aunt's dowry? But my niece married better than my aunt! If I really follow Yongjia's dowry and don't add some beauty, wouldn't the world say that I am dissatisfied with the son-in-law, King Youzhou?"

As soon as these words came out, Empress Changsun had nothing to say.

This is true. If the person Li Lizhi married was someone else, even the son of an important minister or even the son of a noble family, Li Shimin would be speechless after the censor said this.

But the one their daughter is going to marry is the King of Youzhou who has made great contributions to the country and the people!

That is not an ordinary king with a different surname, but the king of Youzhou who is almost unsealable!
The marriage between Princess Changle and the King of Youzhou is no longer as simple as the emperor marrying a daughter, but a marriage in disguise between the court and the King of Youzhou!It is to tie Youzhou King firmly to the imperial chariot!
Because the imperial court could not lose the loyalty of King Youzhou, and could not afford any possibility of King Youzhou having any extraneous intentions!

In this case, why did the empress personally add more dowry to Princess Changle?
Li Shimin also got involved with these censors. After going to the court again, not only did he not reduce the princess's dowry, he also directly issued an order to directly increase Princess Changle's fiefdom from [-] households to [-] households!
"This, how can this be done!" The censor, who had opposed it before, was now a numb claw.

They couldn't help but look forward, where Wei Zheng was standing!

They think that Wei Zheng will always speak now, right?
In fact, they didn't understand it before. Wei Zheng should stand up and oppose it at the last court meeting!As a result, Wei Zheng was just silent at that time and didn't say anything.

This time, they felt that Wei Zheng was going to stand up!

As a result, Wei Zheng did move. He stood up from the line and looked at Li Shimin who was sitting above him.

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other, Wei Zheng said: "...the emperor is wise."

Gone?

Just gone?
Seeing that Wei Zheng finished saying this, he stopped talking.

Those who originally thought that he stood up to oppose Li Shimin were all stupid.

That's not all. After he finished speaking, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others stood up one after another and said: "The Emperor is wise."

This is what everyone agrees with!

Of all the people who can go to court, how many of them are really mentally ill and unable to function?

Those who originally disagreed with it soon realized that although what the censors said, Princess Changle's dowry should not exceed that of her aunt as a niece, it made sense at first glance.But one is that the two princesses did not get married in the same year, neither did they get married in the same year, so there is no need to compare them together.

Second, the two princesses married to different people. Princess Yongjia married Dou Fengjie.

Dou Fengjie's father is Dou Gui, who is Dou Gui?One of the founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty!

And Li Yuan's wife, Dou Shi, is also Dou Fengjie's pro-cousin aunt. In other words, Li Shimin and Dou Fengjie are cousins.

Dou Fengjie himself is also a general. It can be said that although this marriage is a marriage, it is also considered a well-matched family.

But this person is afraid of comparison.

Dou Fengjie is good, but compared with him, it is King Youzhou!
Qin Yang, king of Youzhou, relied on himself to become king for several months!

Not only did it provide the entire Tang Dynasty with the divine seed to feed and live tens of millions of people, but it also raised the technological level of the entire Tang Dynasty for an unknown number of years!

Even after defeating Tubo half a year ago, Tubo is now in civil strife, which has something to do with King Youzhou!

Not to mention all the previous achievements, just because Tubo is no longer a foreign aggression of the Tang Dynasty, this incident alone is enough for him to win a prince again!
He is unstoppable now!

All the officials guessed that the next achievements will probably be added to the children of King Youzhou and Princess Changle one by one.

Can such a big marriage be the same as Princess Yongjia's marriage to Dou Fengjie?
What ability does Dou Fengjie have that can compare with King Youzhou?

There is no comparison!

Therefore, it is really reasonable for His Majesty to want to add a dowry to Princess Changle.

After thinking about this, those who originally opposed it became honest and did not dare to say anything more.

Li Shimin glanced around, and finally satisfied, said: "Okay, since all the lovers have no objection, this matter is settled like this!"

People who have some thoughts in their hearts don't dare to speak at this time. They can only suppress their depressed mood and lower their heads.

……

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen before the wedding?" Qin Yang couldn't help shaking his head and laughing after hearing this.Li Shimin's personality made him feel quite tempered, full of flesh and blood, with a heart for the public, but also selfish.

Li Shimin's act of loving his daughter like this also made Qin Yang quite satisfied.

It is good that the future wife is not wronged.

Otherwise, just based on the fact that Li Lizhi was almost framed before, Qin Yang would like to kill a few more before the wedding.

"Get ready for the fireworks."

"Yes."
