Chapter 139

When Wei Hao arrived at the front yard of the Lizheng Hall, he yelled loudly. The Empress Changsun who was inside heard it and came out with a smile. Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and Li Lizhi came out together.

"I have met my father-in-law and my mother-in-law, and I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" Wei Hao said with a smile and saluted, but he was not used to saluting Li Lizhi.

"Wei Furong (Wei Wangshi) has met His Majesty, the Empress, His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness Princess Changle!" Wei Furong and Mrs. Wang saluted respectfully. Here, they dare not speak loudly. , this is the imperial palace, and those people in front of them are some of the most powerful people in the entire Tang Dynasty.

"Quick, come in quickly, this must be Wei Hao's father and mother, please come inside, it's too cold outside!" Empress Changsun said with a smile, came down at the same time, took Wang's hand, and said kindly.

"Well, please come inside!" Li Shimin also said to Wei Furong.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Furong said hastily cupping his hands, and a group of people went inside, but Wei Hao was not idle.Commanding the people, he took down the stove and took one to the living room of the Lizheng Hall.

"Mother-in-law, are you usually here most of the time?" Wei Hao asked standing there.

"Well, yes, what's the matter, Hao'er?" Empress Changsun nodded, and looked at Wei Hao in confusion. Now Wei Hao is holding a black thing in his hand, and I don't know what Wei Hao is going to do?
"Okay, you guys are talking, I'll pack something for you, and it won't be cold later." Wei Hao started pointing at people, chose a place, and started to pack.

"What is this kid doing?" Li Shimin was also very puzzled, so he walked over and looked at it.

"Father-in-law, go talk with my parents. I'm busy here. I'll come over when I'm done. Besides, you can talk about this matter." Wei Hao urged Li Shimin.

"Okay, don't mess around." Li Shimin warned Wei Hao, and then sat in the living room with Wei Furong and the others, discussing the marriage between Wei Hao and Li Lizhi, while Li Lizhi was sitting there, staring at the place. Wei Hao, who was busy at the side, looked at it, wondering what he was going to do.

"As for Wei Hao and Li Lizhi's marriage, you two can express your thoughts or opinions!" Li Shimin said while sitting there, looking at Wei Furong.

"No, I don't have any opinions. It's his blessing that Princess Changle can take a fancy to my kid, and we also like Princess Changle very much. This child, no, Her Royal Highness has a very good personality and is very kind. Compared with my kid, no Knowing how much stronger it is, we are still worried that Her Royal Highness has wronged Her Highness by marrying Wei Hao!" Wei Furong said hastily.

"Well, from now on, don't call her Your Highness the Princess. Unless it's a very formal occasion, you can usually call her Lizhi, and you should call her like that. You are elders. Hao'er is a good child. I like her very much, yes An upright child, but also a capable child, since you have no objections, that's fine!" Empress Changsun said there.

"Yes, uncle and aunt, from now on, just call me Lizhi, or Changle." Li Lizhi also said beside her.

"Well, the so-called Six Ceremonies, among them Na Cai doesn't need it, and they don't have anyone to introduce them to each other, and they don't need to ask their names. Naji asked someone to calculate their horoscopes, they are very compatible, there is no conflict, they are very good, Nazheng, I told Wei Hao that I don’t need him to take the dowry money. Before that, Wei Hao contributed a lot to the court. I think you all know that, and he also did a lot for the royal family. Therefore, I won’t ask him for a penny. up,
Now it's time for Najib and the wedding ceremony. We need to discuss about Najib's matter today. Lizhi is still young. What I mean is that we plan to marry her and Wei Hao two years later. See if this will work. At the beginning of the seventh year of Zhenguan, yes A day of Shuanglichun is very good. Let’s decide that time. Next year will be the fifth year of Zhenguan. In other words, it may take more than two years before they get married. If you agree, I will give them a marriage in the afternoon. How are you? " Li Shimin looked at Wei Furong and asked.

"Sure, yes, Hao'er will be crowned next year, and two years later is just right, we have no objections. Besides, it will take about two years to complete the repair of Lord Hou's mansion." Wei Furong nodded and said.

"By the way, Wei Hao told you if Li Zhi might need to stay in the princess mansion after getting married. Of course, she can also stay in the Houye mansion. This is Li Zhi's own intention. What's your opinion?" Li Shimin looked at Then Wei Furong continued to ask.

"No objection, this child told us that as long as the two of them are happy, they can discuss these things." Wei Furong immediately shook his head and said.

"Well, I'm still worried that you won't agree. After all, many people don't want to be son-in-law. They say that a son-in-law is a son-in-law. I don't agree with this sentence. After all, their children follow their husband's surname and live in the princess mansion. I just hope that they can live a better life. If the princesses feel that their husband's family lives better, they can also live in their husband's house. I will not really pursue this matter, as long as they are willing." Li Shimin faced Wei Furong explained.

"Yes, yes, I understand this, we have no objection." Wei Furong nodded and said.

"Well, okay, then it's settled, and it will be up to them in the future." Li Shimin was also relieved when he heard Wei Furong say this.

"Okay!" At this moment, on Wei Hao's side, Wei Hao also installed the stove, and asked the eunuch to fetch firewood and a pot of water outside.

"Hao'er, what are you doing?" Empress Changsun looked at Wei Hao and shouted.

"Mother-in-law, this is a good thing, just ask my father and mother." Wei Hao proudly said to the eldest grandson empress.

"Empress, this is a stove. It works very well. With such a stove, the whole living room will be very warm, and there is no need to worry about carbon poisoning. This child made it last night and tried it in the living room at home. The empress is very cold here, and I want to put it on the empress's side, so that it won't be cold." Wang immediately said to the eldest grandson empress, Wei Hao had never said these words to her, but as a mother, how could she I don't know what my son means.

"This child, really!" Empress Changsun was so happy that she also stood up and walked towards Wei Hao.

"Mother-in-law, it will be fine soon, it's already burned, you see, there is no smoke, don't worry about the smoke choking people, by the way, mother-in-law, there is a pipe outside, don't block it, otherwise, burn it It's gone." Wei Hao stood there, explaining to Empress Changsun.

"Well, good!" Empress Changsun nodded, and Li Shimin and the others also came over at the moment, surrounding the stove.

"Very warm?" Li Shimin asked.

"Of course, father-in-law, I'm not talking about you, my mother-in-law is so cold here, you won't think of a way!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Hao'er!" Wei Furong immediately reminded Wei Hao when he heard it.

"What can I do? My Ganlu Palace is also very cold, and it's even colder when I sleep at night. I can't use charcoal fire, I can only keep it cold!" Li Shimin said with a stare at Wei Hao.

"Hey, it's true, there is no one who can do anything about the civil and military affairs of the dynasty. Now that I've come here, I have thought of a way." Wei Hao said a little proudly at the moment, and then said to Li Lizhi: "Girl, there are still people out there." One, after the installation is finished here, I will go to your side to install it."

When Li Shimin heard it, he was very angry. Why, those who have a mother-in-law don’t have their own. I need to work in the Ganlu Palace, and it’s so cold there, why doesn’t this kid think about himself.

"Forget it, give it to my father. My father needs to work there, and I need to review more memorials there every day. Look at my father's hands, I have frostbite." Li Lizhi immediately shook her head and said with a smile, Li Shimin also stretched out her hand Come and show Wei Hao.

"No way, father-in-law, you, ouch, I don't have any iron at home, and it's hard to buy, so what about you?" Wei Hao looked at Li Lizhi pretending to be embarrassed.

"I have it, how much will I give it to you?" Li Shimin said immediately after hearing this.

"1000 catties, is there any?" Wei Hao stared at Li Shimin and asked casually.

"Yes, I will send it to your home later!" Li Shimin nodded immediately.

"That's fine, girl, I'll bring it to you before dark that night." Wei Hao nodded and said.

"It's really warm!" At this moment, Empress Changsun also noticed that the temperature in the living room was starting to rise, and said.

"Your Majesty, it will be warm soon, within half a quarter of an hour, and you only need to add firewood to it. Firewood is much cheaper than charcoal." Wang said beside her.

"Well, you really put your heart into it!" Empress Changsun was very moved. I have survived this purchase for many years, and this winter is even more difficult. There are several children here, it is inconvenient to move around, it is too cold.

"Hey, queen mother, if you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me, and I will find a solution for you." Wei Hao proudly said to the eldest grandson empress.

"Okay, come on, sit down, don't stand around, just leave it to them to add firewood, by the way, when the sun comes out, I will take your mother and father to the imperial garden. It's open! At noon, I will have dinner in the palace, and I want to treat you to dinner." Empress Zhangsun took Wei Hao's hand and said to them.

"Success!" Wei Hao nodded, and then everyone sat there chatting. After a while, Li Shimin and the others began to sweat, it was too hot, so they left first and went to the wing room to change their clothes.

"Wei Hao, I'll go to the Ganlu Hall to put that on later, I'll want this in the future, it's so comfortable, it's comfortable everywhere." Li Shimin said to Wei Hao very happily.

"Success!" Wei Hao nodded. After chatting for a while, the sun was already very high. Although the temperature outside was very low, it was still possible to bask in the sun. Li Shimin took Li Chengqian and Wei Hao to the Ganlu Palace. .

"Wei Hao, get one for Gu Ye." Li Chengqian said to Wei Hao.

"Don't worry, 1000 catties of iron can make a lot of it. By the way, father-in-law, I'll give you 10 at that time. You can install it. You can install it wherever you need it. It's very simple anyway!" Wei Wei Hao said, looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Ten are not enough, so I will give you 10 catties of iron, so you can send me 2000. In the palaces of the harem, one must be installed, and I need to install one in my bedroom!" Li Shimin thought for a while and said Wei Hao said.

"Give me two!" Li Chengqian raised two fingers at Wei Hao and said.

"I'll give you three!" Wei Hao winked at Li Chengqian,

Li Chengqian was very happy and put his arms around Wei Hao's shoulders.

After arriving at the Ganlu Hall and installing it, after a while, the temperature in the study room of the Ganlu Hall also rose. Sitting on the desk above, Li Shimin felt very comfortable, and his hands would not feel cold when writing.

"Your Majesty, the house servant shoots to see you!" At this moment, Wang De came in and said to Li Shimin.

"Well, didn't you say that I won't handle official business today? Okay, let him come in." Li Shimin frowned when he heard this, and said, Fang Xuanling came in soon, just after he came in, he found something was wrong, what's wrong here? so warm.

"Your Majesty, I just received the news that at the beginning of last month, Si Yehu, the son of the former Khan of the Western Turks, was embraced by his subordinates as the new Khan. I estimate that in the past two years, Si Yehu will definitely invade our Tang Dynasty to establish Its prestige in the Western Turks even said that it will come this winter, and we need to order the frontline soldiers to prepare." After Fang Xuanling came in, he reported to Li Shimin.

"Si Yehu, the son of the former Khan, how about this person?" Li Shimin asked after hearing this, hesitating for a moment.

"I don't know yet, there is absolutely no news about it." Fang Xuanling was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said.

"Well, no matter what, if you dare to come to the border, try it. This year can be said to be the best year for preparations on the border. All the combat supplies are in place, and many troops have been dispatched. However, he may not dare to come. ,

The new Khan has just been established. Once he is defeated, he will have no chance of standing up. It will be possible next winter. Now he needs to stabilize his position. Of course, it also depends on the character of this person. If the character is strong, it is hard to say. "Li Shimin said after thinking about it, Fang Xuanling nodded, and then found that it was a little hot.

"Your Majesty, why do you feel a little hot in here? Is it because I felt wrong and came trotting over just now?" I liked it and couldn't help asking.

"Haha, Ai Qing, come, take a look at this. The stove is a firewood burner. You don't have to worry about carbon poisoning. Wei Hao made it. It's just been burned, and it's so warm. In the future, I won't worry about the cold." Li Shimin was very proud at the moment, he got down from the desk, and brought Fang Xuanling to the stove in the corner next to you.

"Oh, I said, why is it so hot, eh, made of iron? Your Majesty, this cannot be promoted." Fang Xuanling looked at it and found that it was made of iron, and immediately frowned and said, Datang is also very Those who lack iron, most of the iron is used to make weapons, and ordinary people cannot buy pig iron unless they are making necessary utensils.

"Well, I know, it's just that the weather is too cold, and Wei Hao sent it over, so I will use it." Li Shimin felt a little embarrassed when he heard it.

"What's the matter, isn't it just iron? It's simple. I'll make it for you when spring starts next year!" Wei Hao said immediately after hearing this, there are many local methods for iron, as long as you improve it yourself, you can completely increase the amount of iron ore. The efficiency of stone iron smelting.

"Yes, the old man remembers what you said in the cell, salt and pig iron, you have a way, Wei Hao, you have already produced the salt, and now the Ministry of Civil Affairs has about 10 yuan in income every month, and it is still increasing. The salt is completely Don't worry, it's just this pig iron, you need some snacks." Fang Xuanling immediately thought of what Wei Hao said in the cell, so he said it to Wei Hao.

"Small problem, but it's too cold now, so I can't fix it. I'll fix it for you when spring comes." Wei Hao nodded and said with a relaxed face, while Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and looked at it again Fang Xuanling.

"Your Majesty, didn't you ask me to give him an IOU last time? When he talked about salt and pig iron, I asked him to get salt first. I almost forgot about pig iron." Fang Xuanling explained to Li Shimin up.

After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded, turned his head to look at Wei Hao and said, "Remember, use snacks, otherwise, I won't feel at ease when I use them. The people are still suffering from the cold, and the soldiers on the front line don't have enough iron to make weapons. There is provincial pig iron for the stove, others are really scolded."

"No, don't worry, but, can my father-in-law not let me be on duty?" Wei Hao asked Li Shimin with a smile while talking.

"Don't even think about it! Just now I made an agreement with your parents, and they agreed." Li Shimin had no intention of letting Wei Hao go.

"Yue, father-in-law?" Fang Xuanling was dumbfounded at the moment, completely unaware of where this name came from.
"By the way, it's just right for you to come. You drafted the decree. Wei Haoshang Princess Changle. I will give them a marriage. The wedding date is set at the beginning of the seventh year of Zhenguan. I instruct the Ministry of Rites to make all the preparations at the end of the sixth year of Zhenguan!" Li Shimin faced Fang Xuanling spoke up.

"Ah!" Fang Xuanling was so shocked at the moment, now Li Lizhi didn't know how many people were thinking about it,

Even I am no exception. My second child, Yiai, is about the same age as Li Lizhi. I originally wanted to mention this matter to Li Shimin, and my wife also told the Empress Changsun, but of course the Empress Changsun did not agree. no negation,
Not only myself, but Tang Jian, Hou Junji, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, they are all staring at Li Lizhi, hoping that their heirs can marry Li Lizhi. It was said before that Li Lizhi and Changsun Wuji's son and grandson If you want to be a couple, the latter thing can't be done, everyone is starting to make up their minds, and it's unthinkable that Wei Hao will take the lead.

"Fang Xiang, I'm sorry to trouble you!" Wei Hao smiled and said to Fang Xuanling.

"You, you, you boy, is this a blessing from several generations of cultivation?" Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Hao and said with a wry smile.
