Datang Longya

Chapter 786
The last revision of the laws of the Tang Dynasty was in the early years of Zhenguan.

Moreover, I don't know whether it is the ancient regulations or Li Shimin's request, no matter what laws and regulations are established, they cannot be changed for 20 years.

The 20 years of bullshit can't be changed!Not to mention that the laws established in the early years of the Tang Dynasty were not comprehensive at all, even the development speed of the current Tang Dynasty cannot be changed in 20 years!

Li Shimin frowned and said: "Amend the law? This is not a trivial matter, and it is not even something that I can decide alone. It has to be discussed by the court."

Leng Feng couldn't help curling his lips.

He was sure that after Li Shimin proposed to amend the law, the courtiers would agree with both hands and feet.

The legal loopholes in the early years of Zhenguan were so great that the subsequent emperors and officials had to temporarily add some regulations.

This also led officials to decide the case, not to consider how the law is stipulated, but to think about whether the emperor has issued similar legal requirements over the years.If so, what was the last time it was released.

It is better to tear down such a law than to stand there hard and erect it.

"Give it a try, maybe the courtiers will agree."

While speaking, Leng Feng took the jade pendant and tossed it in the palm of his hand.

Li Shimin looked at Yu Pei and could only nod: "Yes, what about the other two requirements?"

He wants Leng Feng to use up all at once, only in this way can he feel relieved.

Seeing that Li Shimin agreed, Leng Feng put away the jade pendant: "I'll talk about the other two later, I don't have anything suitable for you right now."

"Ok."

Li Shimin stood up and left Li Chengqian's study.

After Li Shimin left, Li Chengqian asked: "Master, there is no need to waste an opportunity to ask the emperor to revise the law."

Although Leng Feng and Li Shimin didn't explain it, Li Chengqian had already guessed it with his intelligence.

Leng Feng took out the jade pendant and said with a smile, "It's not a waste. In fact, the important thing is not to amend the law, but that your father can't interfere in the process of revision. Your father will often do bad things."

Li Shimin has a strong sense of centralization, which causes him to be paranoid about some things.This is actually not conducive to the revision of the law.

Patting Li Chengqian on the shoulder, Leng Feng stood up and said, "Tomorrow you will get married, I don't think you are nervous at all, please take care of the best man."

Li Chengqian nodded: "Please, it's Di Renjie. That kid is smart and can speak, so he is very suitable."

With Di Renjie accompanying Li Chengqian, coupled with Li Chengqian's identity, at least no one would make things difficult for him on the way to welcome his relatives.

Leng Feng felt relieved and went back to Tianxialou to prepare the gift money.

When the apprentice gets married, he, as the master, naturally cannot lose the chain.

The next day, Leng Feng entered the palace very early.

There is still a difference between a prince's big marriage and a common people's marriage.

It is not so much a wedding banquet as it is a state banquet. After all, most of the people who attended the prince's wedding were courtiers.

Rows of ritual burdens blocked the gates of the palace, so that the officials of the East Palace who recorded the ritual list could only move their positions and divert the flow to the gates of each palace.

If there is no accident, Li Chengqian is the future emperor. What's more, according to the current situation, Li Chengqian sits very securely as the crown prince.

It is still necessary to curry favor with the future emperor, so on this day, many officials who pretended to be poor revealed their family background.

Of course, Wei Zheng was not included among these people.

Wei Zheng, who was dressed in an official uniform, did not bring any servants with him, and he had nothing but a scroll in his hand.

Relying on his status, Leng Feng squeezed through the long queue and lined up with Wei Zhengcheng Yaojin and others.

Seeing that Leng Feng was coming, Yuchi Gong leaned over and asked, "Your apprentice is getting married, you as a master can't be stingy, tell me, what have you prepared?"

Giving gifts is a technical job, and the prince's big wedding doesn't mean that money is enough.Many officials have prepared rare treasures in other ways.

Simply sending money is just a number.If the gift makes the prince happy, it may be remembered.

Leng Feng pointed to the carriage behind him: "A box of gold coins, more than 2000."

"hiss"

Everyone who heard the voice before and after gasped.

Two thousand gold coins, that is [-] silver coins, which is more than three or four years of taxation in a medium-sized state.

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help saying: "Grandma's, rich man!"

Although they are also very wealthy, they only prepared two thousand silver coins!

Leng Feng completely opened up the gap with them.

The ancient and modern rituals are almost the same, and many people will ask each other.

Seeing Li Jing not far away, Leng Feng asked him: "How much have you prepared?"

Li Jing turned around and said, "Five thousand."

He had just set off for an expedition last year, and everyone knew that he had obtained a lot of property, whether it was public or private, so it was a bit unreasonable to pretend to be poor at this time.

Seeing that Wei Zheng was also looking at this side, Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "Old man Wei, how much have you prepared?"

Ever since Li You called Wei Zheng old man Wei, this title became popular.

Wei Zheng revealed the scroll in his hand: "This."

Du Ruhui on the side asked: "Doctor Wei's scroll contains words or paintings?"

"Character."

"Which celebrity is it from?"

"I wrote it myself."

As soon as Wei Zheng said this, everyone fell silent.

Wei Zheng was as casual as ever, even though it was the prince's wedding, he was still "perfunctory".

However, this is also expected.

If Wei Zheng really spent a lot of money to get expensive calligraphy and paintings, it would be a strange thing.

The team moved forward, and it was Wei Zheng's turn.

The official in charge of recording the gift list was not surprised, and recorded the words "Wei Zheng, a piece of handwriting" with a blank face.

The team keeps going.

In fact, the value of the ceremony can be seen from the facial expressions of the officials who recorded the gift list.

Generally, the official with a blank face will designate it as less than [-] silver coins, or something worthless; if he confirms again and smiles, he will start with at least [-] silver coins.

These are all expected, but what the hell is jumping up and screaming?

The officials in the rear who didn't hear Leng Feng's self-report couldn't help but staggered from the team to see the scene ahead.

The ceremony officer trembled and asked, "Master Protector, are you sure it's two thousand gold coins?"

There were too many two thousand silver coins recorded, and the ritual officer was afraid that he had heard it wrong.

After all, Lord Protector is the prince's master, as long as he makes sense of it, it will be fine.

"Two thousand gold coins, the gold of gold."

Leng Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. At first he thought that two thousand gold coins was a bit small, but now it seems that it may be a bit out of bounds?

"The lieutenant knows."

The official obliterated the words he had written wrongly, and wrote "Guogong Gong, two thousand gold coins" on another line.

After finishing writing, the etiquette officer smiled and guided Leng Feng into the palace gate, and ordered a subordinate to help Leng Feng lead the way.

"This is discrimination."

Walking into the palace gate, Leng Feng heard Wei Zheng's sour words.
