Chapter 54

When Li Lizhi heard Wei Hao's words, she couldn't believe it, so she still stared at Wei Hao: "What you said is true?"

"I lied to you about this kind of thing? By the way, if you want to marry your cousin, that won't work! Oh, just tell me where your home is, and I'll ask my father to invite a matchmaker!" Wei Hao anxiously Speaking to Li Lizhi.

"No, you can't go, but my cousin is really annoying, he thought I didn't know, he would go to draw a boat, and in his yard, there are several girls who are through the house, that is, the concubine, and I am seven or eight. Years old, you want to marry me!" Li Lizhi sat down and said angrily to Wei Hao.

"Isn't this scum? It's more scum than me?" Wei Hao looked at Li Lizhi in surprise and started talking.

"Huh?" Li Lizhi stared at Wei Hao.

"Why are you looking at me?" Wei Hao looked at Li Li and questioned.

"What shameful thing did you do?" Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao angrily and asked.

"What did I do? I just didn't know before, I thought concubines were also married, so I asked around where those girls lived, and said that I wanted to marry them back home. How do I know, I can only marry one?" Wei Hao said. Li Lizhi said.

"You don't even know about this?" Li Lizhi heard it and looked at Wei Hao suspiciously.

"I don't know, no one has told me about this. By the way, who is your cousin? Do you want me to beat him up to relieve you? I'll go in a mask, and it is estimated that your cousin's family is also powerful. , I can't afford it without a mask!" Wei Hao said to Li Lizhi with a smile.

"Promising, just this bit of courage?" Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao with contempt and said.

"If you have the ability to protect me, I'll beat him right now. Really, your father's status is so high, and your cousin's family is probably not too bad? I dare to provoke him directly?" Wei Hao immediately pushed back. .

"No need for now, just look at him, as long as you don't pester me, hey, he's so old, and he doesn't want to marry, so he wants to beat me up! What a wolf's ambition." Li Lizhi sat there and said angrily.

"Yes, Lang Zi's ambition, beat him!" Wei Hao said with great support.

"By the way, how is your ceramic workshop? When will you be able to burn ceramics?" Li Lizhi asked when she thought of this.

"Come on, ten days at most is enough." Wei Hao said to Li Lizhi while eating.

"I want to eat duck skins, you eat them all!" Li Lizhi immediately shouted to Wei Hao when she saw that there was not much duck skin left in the roast duck.

"Isn't it enough to have another one? What's the hurry?" Wei Hao said nonchalantly, and continued to eat there.

Li Lizhi didn't have much appetite at first, but seeing Wei Hao eating like this, she started to eat too.

After eating, Li Lizhi proudly went to the papermaking workshop to have a look. Now Wei Hao has taught Li Lizhi those crafts too, so Li Lizhi also understands it, and there is no need for Wei Hao to go there.

However, in her heart, she was thinking about the marriage of close relatives that Wei Hao said, and she had a plan in her heart.

In this matter, I must arrange for someone to investigate to see if such a thing really happened. If it does, then I can completely refuse the marriage with Changsun Chong.

After returning to the palace, Li Lizhi immediately mobilized acquaintances of the Praetorian Guards and asked them to start arranging people to investigate.

Those people didn't know what Li Lizhi meant, and why did they still need to check this, but since Li Lizhi had arranged it, they could only check it.

Three days later, the Guards handed over a statistic to Li Lizhi. They investigated a total of 500 families with consanguineous marriages. Among them, more than 300 had died of a child, and more were stillborn. , There are more than 100 people born with problems.

Seeing this report, Li Lizhi was very shocked. She never thought that there was such a thing.

So I took this report and went to Lizheng Hall. This matter still needs to be told to Empress Changsun. She knows that Empress Changsun supports her.

Empress Zhangsun took the report and looked at it carefully. When she just came in, Li Lizhi had already told her the matter.

"You said this is what Wei Hao said. He said that if close relatives get married, it is easy to give birth to problematic children, and it is also easy to stillbirth?" After reading the report, Empress Zhangsun looked at Li Lizhi with a solemn expression.

"Well, Queen Mother, my son didn't believe it at first, so he asked the Imperial Guards to investigate. I didn't expect it to be true." Li Lizhi nodded and said.

"Okay, the mother knows, you are also because you don't want to marry Chong'er, right?" Empress Zhangsun put down the report and said with a smile to Li Lizhi.

"I don't want to!" Li Lizhi answered with great certainty.

"Why, is it because you like Wei Hao?" Empress Zhangsun continued to ask with a smile.

"The queen mother has nothing to do with Wei Hao. Even if I don't know Wei Hao, I don't want to marry him. He is so old, and he has several concubines in the yard, and he will go to paint boats. My daughter is not saying that he can't. I went to the boat, but my eldest cousin is a frequent visitor to the boat, and my daughter is outside, but I often hear rumors about which people from the house are invited to the boat today, and who will be invited tomorrow. Empress, you don’t want to. My son, marry such a flirtatious person!" Li Lizhi sat there and said to Empress Zhangsun.

"There is such a thing?" Empress Zhangsun frowned at the moment, she didn't know about these things.

"It's absolutely true, and there are several concubines in his yard. Why can't he get married at such a young age, and why do he want to marry me so much? He already has children, and he doesn't have a wife. Hmph, if he is two or three years older than me, Erchen, let's think about it, so many elder ministers still want to come to me?

The same is true for my uncle, isn't he just hoping to keep his family's prosperity and wealth through me?He was originally the elder brother's uncle, isn't it the same?Why do you still need me? "Li Lizhi sat there and said very aggrieved,

Empress Changsun was also very helpless when she heard it. Of course, she also hoped that her brother's family could be prosperous and rich forever.

However, his daughter does not want to marry her, and as Li Lizhi said, the eldest grandson Wuji has indeed been staring at Li Lizhi. Li Lizhi is the eldest princess of this dynasty. Although she is not Li Shimin's eldest daughter, she is the eldest daughter of the direct line. Also won Li Shimin's favorite!

"Okay, the queen mother knows. If you don't want to get married, you won't get married, but don't say things that offend your uncle. After all, your uncle has assisted your father in many things, and it is also credited to this dynasty." The eldest grandson The queen reminded Li Lizhi to speak.

"This daughter knows that her daughter never talks nonsense outside! Thank you mother!" Li Lizhi was still very happy when she heard that she would not marry if she didn't.

"Silly girl!" Empress Zhangsun stroked Li Lizhi's hair with a smile, feeling that her daughter had really grown up.

After Li Lizhi left, Empress Zhangsun immediately mobilized the people around her and asked them to investigate the marriage of the close relatives. At this time, she also attached great importance to the fact that the population of Datang was insufficient, and if the matter was true, it would be announced. , It is very helpful to improve Li Shimin's prestige, so she needs to personally confirm this matter to see if it is really what Wei Hao said!

Three days later, a new report arrived in the hands of Empress Changsun. This time, her investigation was larger and more detailed. Empress Changsun saw the report and was very worried. So many children died like this. As a mother, She was very uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" Li Shimin also came to the Lizheng Hall for dinner at the moment. Seeing Empress Changsun looking worried, he immediately asked.

"Your Majesty, look at this investigation report. The concubine sent someone to investigate!" Empress Zhangsun gave Li Shimin the report she had investigated, and Li Shimin took it over in confusion.

"This is a report of a problem with the birth of a child in a consanguineous marriage. A consanguineous marriage means that there is a blood relationship within three generations. For example, if the children of two brothers and sisters get married, or the same Tai Azu gets married, they all have problems when they have children. Even many children are stillborn!" Empress Changsun said to Li Shimin.

"What?" Li Shimin didn't understand a bit. He didn't know why she would investigate such a thing, but she still looked at it carefully. At a glance, it was shocking that there were so many problems.

"Is this true or false?" Li Shimin looked at Empress Zhangsun in shock and asked.

"Your Majesty, you can send someone to investigate in person, including those cases that are not close relatives' marriages. You can check them. Only by comparing will you know if there is really a problem!" Empress Zhangsun looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Check, we must check!" Li Shimin said on the spot that he wanted to check. Such a thing is not a trivial matter. "By the way, why did you think of checking this?" Li Shimin asked when he thought of this.

"Lizhi told me, Lizhi was told to him by Wei Hao! Lizhi went to check, this is his report, and there are many problems, the concubine thought that Lizhi might not want to marry Chong'er, so she said it on purpose, but unexpectedly, a Cha is really like this. If so, then Lizhi and Chong'er's marriage, the concubine doesn't agree, and the concubine doesn't want Lizhi to suffer like this. Look, in the investigation report, there are still many women who died of dystocia !" Empress Zhangsun continued to say sadly.

"I must check it out. I will have someone check it out tomorrow. If this is the case, then I won't agree to the marriage between Lizhi and Chong'er. I can't make fun of that daughter's life." Li Shimin nodded and said. .

"Come on, let's eat, Li Zhi brought some food back from Juxian Building, and the concubine just had someone warm it up!" Empress Zhangsun said to Li Shimin, while Li Shimin was still thinking about this, and was very shocked.

But there is also a little doubt, how did Wei Hao know about this matter, he went to investigate, he was alone, how to investigate?Otherwise, how did he know that, as the Queen said, this person has great wisdom?
