Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

In this atmosphere, Wu Jue's complexion was also crimson, and he put his hands on Li Qiu's body somewhat helplessly.

As for Li Qiu, who was overwhelmed with alcohol, he naturally moved his index finger when facing Wu Jue, who had always been beloved in the cardamom years.

"Our family, Wu Jue, seems to be more courageous than Sister Kexin."

"Are you not afraid that I will eat you?"

Wu Jue was blushing and gently pushed him away, "This is in our house, if my father and others saw it, I would be ashamed to death."

"As for what brother Li Qiu said, Wu Jue is not afraid."

"Anyway, it will be yours sooner or later."

Having said that, Wu Jue's face turned even redder, and then mustered up the courage to murmur, "If brother Li Qiu drinks too much at night, he will feel uncomfortable."

"Wu Jue...you can also come quietly to accompany you..."

The meaning of Wu Jue's words has naturally been implied very clearly.

How could this kind of shock not make Li Qiu's heart tremble.

Even though women in the Tang Dynasty were much more free than those after the Song Dynasty, it is still extremely important and precious for a girl's first time.

At this time, Li Qiu stroked her face very touched.

"I will not let our Wu Sui be wronged."

"We'll talk about it when my Ming media is marrying us Wu Sui!"

……

The next day, when Li Qiu returned to Furong Garden again, Luo Kexin had already arrived.

Although on the surface it was the same as before, but Li Qiu could tell that this girl seemed to be enjoying herself.

When he was free, Li Qiu pulled her closer again.

At this time, Luo Kexin gave him a sly look, "Tell me, how does our little Wujue taste?"

"Did you succeed?"

Li Qiu called injustice, "Are you kidding me? I'm that kind of person. Am I bullying Miss Wu Sui at this moment?"

Regarding his words, Luo Kexin nodded seriously.

As for Li Qiu, he smiled wickedly, "I said Ma'am, we can't bully Xiao Wujue."

"But the two of us have a marriage contract, and your majesty and empress will personally witness the marriage."

"Is it possible that some things don't have to wait until after the Lantern Festival?"

With a smile in his eyes, Luo Ke took two steps away from him.

"Come to my house tonight."

"Then watch your performance..."

As she said that, before Li Qiu rushed over like a howling wolf, she had already briskly escaped.

……

On the other side, inside the palace, Li Shimin was in a very good mood.

The rebellious Lujiang King Li Ai that Yuchi Jingde exterminated before had already transported many of his gold and silver treasures back to Chang'an.

Now in the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, due to years of wars, repairs everywhere, and severe droughts in various places.

Really very short of money.

The current situation in the Tang Dynasty is that the gentry have money, and the royal relatives have money, but the emperor and ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty have no money.

Li Ai's batch of gold, silver and jewels came here, and it was quite thirst-quenching.

Together with these gold, silver and jewels, there was also a beautiful concubine who was once the favorite of Lujiang King Li Ai.

Her appearance is very good, and her temperament also has the ancient charm and beauty of a woman from a water village.

Li Shimin looked at this woman, and he also liked it very much.

Then he said to Wang Gui and Feng Deyi who had been accompanying him on patrol all the time: "This Li Ai is also known as a womanizer."

"I heard that for this woman, he first killed her husband, and then took her by his side."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see Li Shimin's liking for this woman.

Your Majesty, the Sangong Sixth Courtyard is not used to accepting beautiful women.

Sometimes even Empress Changsun turned a blind eye to such things.

For example, Feng Deyi, a veteran of the three dynasties, understood Li Shimin's heart even more. He smiled and nodded to Li Shimin's words, but did not say a word.

However, Wang Gui, the prime minister of the province with a strong personality, couldn't help frowning.

After sighing softly in his heart, Wang Gui bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, do you think what Li Yuan did is right or wrong?"

Li Shimin smiled and waved his hands, "Killing someone and marrying his wife, how can you ask right or wrong?"

Wang Gui nodded, and then continued: "Your Majesty knew the reason for Li Yuan's demise, but kept his concubine by his side. In essence, Your Majesty still thinks what Li Yuan did was right."

After listening to his words, Li Shimin felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly.

Then after being stiff for nearly half a minute, he made a difficult decision and waved his hand slightly angrily.

"Let Li Ai's concubine Ji out of the palace and let her go back to her hometown."

After speaking, Li Shimin turned around and left.

His gaze never stayed on that Meiji again.

Li Shimin is also a human being with seven emotions and six desires.

The reason why he was able to become a wise king in history is mainly because he can endure, restrain his desires, and listen to the advice of loyal ministers.

Seeing Li Shimin leaving angrily, Feng Deyi, Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province, was secretly happy.

While glancing at Wang Gui from the corner of his eye, he sighed with emotion and joy in his heart:

Alas, if you want to be a prime minister by the emperor's side, you also need to learn.

Sometimes, you have to coax the emperor to come, follow the emperor's mind.

You are the prime minister who always follows the emperor, not those censors who only know how to admonish with death.

Wang Gui, Wang Gui, you are still too young!

However, after they returned to the imperial study room, what happened next almost made Feng Deyi vomit blood.

At this time, Li Shimin, who was still angry just now, suddenly changed his mood, as if he still had a kind of comfort.

"Wang Gui, thanks to your direct advice just now, I was able to avoid another stain written by the historian!"

"If I really accept this beautiful girl, how will the people of later generations treat me in the history books?"

Hearing Li Shimin's sudden 180-degree turn, Feng Deyi's reaction was not slow at all, regardless of his age.

Preempting Wang Gui, he complimented: "Your Majesty's ability to let that concubine Ji out of the palace shows that your Majesty is wise and holy."

"Having Your Majesty like this is the blessing of our courtiers and the tens of thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin smiled, "This is governing the country."

"Only when the monarch and his ministers are in harmony can the world be governed."

"The Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty won the world with martial arts, and he was able to spread the country for a long time, because he appointed virtuous ministers."

"Although I am not as good as Han Gaozu Shengming, I also hope that you can speak out and advise, so that the world of Tang Dynasty will be stable."

At this time Wang Gui bowed and said: "If your Majesty can open up the way of speaking and accept advice, our Tang Dynasty will be able to enjoy long-term peace and stability, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment."

"About this admonition, I recommend someone to His Majesty."

"If you can have him by Your Majesty's side, then my Tang Dynasty is not far from Dazhi."

Hearing his words, Li Shimin smiled, "Wang Gui, is this person you're talking about Wei Zheng?"

Chapter 181

In the end, Li Shimin accepted Wang Gui's recommendation, and appointed Wei Zheng as a third-rank official as a secret art supervisor, in charge of the state's collection of books, and entered Chengqing Palace to participate in government affairs.

From then on, Wei Zheng embarked on the political path of participating in the governance of the Tang Dynasty and the people three years earlier than the original historical trajectory.

Together with Li Shimin, he became a famous model of monarchs and ministers in history, and opened the curtain of the rule of Zhenguan.

Li Shimin's change and the fact that Wei Zheng was called into the Chengqing Palace made Feng Deyi, the Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province, very annoyed.

This Wei Zheng, like Wang Gui, is an old department built by the prince, and they are not the first-class gentry at all, and they don't have the same heart with them.

With these two people participating in the government, what they want to do in the future, especially when facing Li Shimin and fighting for the interests of the gentry, they will be much worse.

On the other side, Li Qiu obediently accompanied Luo Kexin back home.

Chatted with the old prince, and returned the gold that he had borrowed before.

What worries Li Qiu more is that the old prince's physical condition is becoming more and more uncertain.

Together with their spirits when they spoke, they were all forced to fight.

It seems that the last time Youzhou city was broken, running around all night, coupled with that serious injury, both mentally and physically, it dealt a too great blow to this old man.

It was night, Li Qiu and Luo Kexin sat side by side on the steps in the garden of the mansion, looking up at the bright starry sky above their heads.

Just like when the two of them fled from Youzhou and slept together in the wild.

Just like that quietly, Luo Kexin hugged Li Qiu's arm and leaned his head on his shoulder.

As for the words like "see your performance" promised by this dead girl before, it must be nothing.

After giving him a little bit of sweetness, he ran away with a smile like a deer.

On the second day, a lot of people gathered in front of Li Qiu's nameless restaurant.

These people are all here to buy wine.

Some even rushed here from Guanlong and Luoyang.

But they waited from the daytime until the curfew and the drum beat, and this small restaurant didn't even have the slightest intention to open for business.

In the next few days, more and more people gathered to buy wine.

Even the gentry and gentry from Shandong sent people over.

But helplessly, even if they hold gold and silver in their hands, they have a price but no market, and they can't buy them at all.

As the samurai Xun said before, this Sirius wine is the only one in the world.

Rare things are precious, except for Li Qiu's family, you can't buy them anywhere else.

Once you have tasted its goodness, I am afraid that drinking other wine will taste like chewing wax.

As more and more people gathered in front of the door, it even reached the point of congesting the road.

In desperation, the officials of the relevant yamen were very respectful, and with a compensatory smile, they begged to see the Furong Garden.

After hearing what he said, Li Qiu was also surprised.

Immediately, he sent his servants to post a notice at the entrance of the small restaurant, telling them that the first batch of Sirius out of the warehouse were all sold out on the same day.

As for when the second batch of wine will be released, the time is to be determined, and it is expected to be before New Year's Eve.

After seeing this notice, the group of people who had been waiting for a few days, instead of getting angry, became more eager to buy wine.

Because only if the wine is good, will it be sold out in a day, which can better show that the family has a good vision.

Afterwards, quite a few people asked their connections to find people in the Furong Garden, and wanted to try to see if they could make reservations in advance?

The answer Li Qiu gave was no.

Not only can it not be booked in advance, but even the sales have to be limited.

In the mansion of Prime Minister Feng Deyi, two officials came to visit.

The gift he brought was Sirius wine with the outer packaging removed and without any words on it.

"Teacher, these jars of wine were specially brought by the students to honor your old man."

Feng Deyi, although he doesn't drink much, is definitely a wine lover.
