Li Shimin

"However, King Jin is so concerned about this matter, even if he wants to delay it, he has no reason to delay it!"

Li Xiaogong couldn't help but said, "You may not have had much contact with King Jin, but King Jin has been very stubborn since he was a child. Once he is sure of something, he will definitely do it. Otherwise... the Supreme Emperor will have nothing to do with King Jin." !"

Saying that, Li Xiaogong couldn't help shivering.

On the side, Li Shimin couldn't help thinking of some bad memories, and his face was also solemn.

"Furthermore, His Majesty only got one of this very powerful musket, and the blueprint has not yet been obtained." Duan Zhixuan said.

At this time, Du Ruhui, who hadn't opened his mouth all this time, cupped his hands slightly towards Li Shimin, and said, "Your Majesty, King Jin just wanted to confer titles on those craftsmen, but he never said what titles he would confer and how he would confer titles." Law?

Instead of me guessing here and there all the time, I might as well ask His Royal Highness King Jin what he thinks, and then His Majesty will make a decision! "

Hearing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the others were startled, and then their faces were filled with joy, "That's a wonderful statement!"

"It's just, who is going to inquire about Xuan Ba's intentions?"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and the others looked directly at him.

"I?"

Li Shimin pointed at him in surprise.

Fang Xuanling said helplessly, "Your Majesty, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Gao Ming!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It would be a good idea for Gao Ming to ask Xuan Ba!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others hurriedly bowed their hands in salute.

night.

Li Shimin called Li Chengqian over.

"Xuan Ba ​​wants to obtain a title for those craftsmen, has he mentioned it to you?"

Li Chengqian was taken aback, and quickly replied: "Returning to my father, Uncle Jin Wang has never mentioned this matter. However, Uncle Jin Wang has treated the craftsmen in the village and those farmers very preferentially!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly, "Since that's the case, in the next few days, you will go to Xuan Ba ​​for detailed inquiries on my behalf."

"Father, ask the craftsman about the knighthood?"

Li Chengqian asked cautiously.

"Ok!"

Li Shimin nodded.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help feeling bitter, but he still responded quickly: "Your servant obeys the order!"

"Okay, let's go down!"

Seeing this, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, and signaled Li Chengqian to back down.

However, what Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others did not expect was that before Li Chengqian asked Li Xuan to find out, all the dignitaries in Chang'an City already knew that Li Xuan wanted to ask His Majesty to give Li Jiazhuang those A matter of knighting the craftsmen!
Early in the morning, Letai brought a group of mohists to kneel in front of Li Xuan's gate with a grateful expression.

"Villain and others, thank you, Your Majesty!"

"It's just Your Majesty. Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for craftsmen to confer titles. Please, Your Majesty, take the overall situation into consideration. Don't annoy Your Majesty just because I wait for these craftsmen!"

"Yes, please don't force your Majesty, those Confucian civil servants and aristocratic families will not let me and other craftsmen get titles!"

Seeing this, Li Xuan sighed helplessly, and did not explain too much to Le Tai and others. These people have been crushed by hundreds of years of Confucianism, and as long as he picks it up again, they will be better.

"Wait until you get up!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Le Tai, Ji Wen and others listened to Li Xuan's words and stood up slowly.

However, he was still worried.

"This king wants to invite His Majesty to ennoble you, how did you know?" Li Xuan asked.

"My lord, this matter has already spread throughout Chang'an City!"

Le Tai hurriedly said, "Right now, everyone in Chang'an City is talking about this matter!"

"So wide?"

Li Xuan was startled, but quickly recovered.

"Let's pass it on. You can invent muskets, glass, bombs, giant steel ships, and glass greenhouses for growing vegetables in winter. All of these are great contributions to Datang and are enough to be named knights!"

Hearing this, Le Tai couldn't help laughing bitterly.

"Your Majesty, outsiders don't know, but none of us who rule Mohism know that the objects made in the forge are not all due to your credit?
If it weren't for you not letting me tell the outside world, I would have no shame in claiming these credits! "

"Okay, half of the credit is for these kings, because this king just drew some blueprints for you and moved your lips. What you made in the forge was done by you. No matter what, this matter You all have a credit for it!"

Li Xuan waved his hand and said: "These matters will be handled by me, so you don't have to worry too much!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Le Tai and the others obeyed Li Xuan's words.

However, when they were leaving, Le Tai and the others turned their heads reluctantly.

"My lord, those people from aristocratic families are too dark, you must not be impulsive!"

……

Not long after Le Tai and the others left, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and the others hurried to Li's Village.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Seeing the expressions of these little bastards, Li Xuan was a little puzzled.

"Master, we are here for the titles of those craftsmen!"

Li Chengqian glanced at Li Xuan cautiously, then said hastily.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Li Xuan's expression froze, "Who arranged those rumors in Chang'an City?"

"If I go back to Master, I won't know!"

Li Chengqian replied.

Cheng Zhijie, Li Chongyi and the others nodded repeatedly.

"Ok?"

Li Xuan was stunned, and some foxes asked: "Could it be that His Majesty didn't do this?"

"Father?"

Li Chengqian was startled and shook his head again and again.

"Master, please don't misunderstand. The matter of conferring titles has not been clarified by the emperor, so how could it spread to the outside world? Moreover, after returning to the city a few days ago, the emperor ordered me to come and ask the master about the artisan titles. Jue matter.

However, Chengqian has been busy with the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the village for the past few days, so he didn't bother to come! "

"In this case, it should not be His Majesty. Then, this kind of thing can only be done by those aristocratic families and dignitaries?"

With that said, Li Xuan sneered and asked again.

"Now, how is Chang'an City?"

"Returning to Master, since yesterday, this rumor has suddenly spread in the city of Chang'an. Today, at the court meeting, there were many ministers from aristocratic families who were very angry and went up to block it." Li Chengqian said hastily.

"How did His Majesty reply?"

Li Xuan asked again.

"My master, my father didn't explain too much, but the generals in the army stopped it. However, if those civil servants keep holding on to this matter, the generals won't be able to stop it for long!"

Li Chengqian replied.

"It's okay!"

Li Xuan smiled lightly, "Since those civil servants are so excited, let them come to the king!"

"Master, you are joking, no civil servant dares to come to Lijiazhuang now!"

Li Chengqian had a strange look on his face.

"Humph!"

Li Xuan snorted coldly, and asked again: "When will there be a great dynasty?"
