The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 998 Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet
"This is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Even if the adults in the imperial court can realize that the same principle may not work in the common people, after all, the concept of passing on the family line has lasted for thousands of years in the land of Guanzhong." Xuan Shijing said.

Li Chengqian nodded, and said: "It makes sense, this is a big event, and naturally it can't be done overnight, that is to say, even if you marry Sizi now, if you want to have children with Sizi, you have to wait until next year?"

Xuan Shijing shook his head: "The earliest will be the year after tomorrow."

17 years old, this is the bottom line of Xuan Shijing's heart. Because of the body of the eldest grandson, Xuan Shijing has been worried about Jinyang's health. Let Jinyang take such a big risk because of the child's affairs.

"Although you are doing this for the good of Sizi, but you have been married for a long time and have no heirs. Both you and Sizi will suffer from illness." Li Chengqian said.

"Then it depends on the efficiency of His Highness the Crown Prince." Xuan Shijing smiled: "If you, Your Highness, do things quickly and beautifully, then the common people will know that a woman's body is not good for her fertility, so who will you be?" Will there still be disease stains?"

"Is that why you mentioned this to me?" Li Chengqian asked.

"That's it."

Hearing Xuan Shijing's answer, Li Chengqian had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Little Jing, even if it is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, you will not bring it up until one day when it concerns yourself."

"Be low-key." Xuan Shijing took a sip of tea unhurriedly and said, "There are quite a few people impeaching me now, and I can no longer show off the limelight in the court. The wood is as beautiful as the forest, and the wind will destroy it." .”

"It's rare that you can still say this, so tell me, what is the dowry for marrying Jinyang?" Like a commoner's uncle, Li Chengqian rarely let go of his prince's figure and came as an older brother. Tell Xuan Shijing about the dowry.

Only when the dowry is large can it reflect the importance attached to the son, if it is less, even if the emperor agrees, he will not let Xuan Shijing go.

Who would have thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty is now talking to Lord Hou about his sister's betrothal gift in a philistine manner.

"In short, I won't wrong Jinyang." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the dowry I will give out will leave the old face of the Ministry of Rites who is preparing the dowry with nowhere to cut."

"Don't worry, my son's dowry has been prepared by my father these years. Even if it exceeds the limit, the people in the Ministry of Rites dare not say anything. After all, they still owe my son favors." Li Zhi said.

"At that time, it's a mule or a horse, just pull it out for a walk." Xuan Shijing said.

"Are you sending a letter to my Li family?"

"That's right." Xuan Shijing still had a calm expression on his face.

"Okay, I Chengqian will take over this letter of challenge." Li Chengqian agreed straightforwardly. He is a dignified royal nobleman, and if he marries a daughter and pays a dowry, will he be inferior to the betrothal gift of a Marquis?
It was around evening when Li Chengqian came out of Xuanwu Tower and hurried back to the palace with his guards. Tomorrow will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. About the war book, I have to talk to Li Tai and Li Ke.

It just so happened that the young slave was also in Chang'an.Li Chengqian thought so.

The rooster crowed three times, Xuan Shijing rode his horse and rushed directly to the palace after tidying up in the Xuanwu Tower. After the early morning morning, he would have a banquet in the Linde Hall. Minister, to meet the kings of Fanbang, wait until the busyness of these scenes is over, and then enter the serious banquet.

Of course there are also songs and dances. For this year's Mid-Autumn Festival performance, Taichang Temple started preparations three months ago. The most important thing is naturally the "Qin Wang Breaking the Battle" which praises His Majesty Li Er's bravery in battle.

Xuan Shijing has listened to it several times, but a place like Linde Hall has limited venues, so how much can you express this kind of battle-killing tune?

The banquet went smoothly, and during the banquet, many courtiers also began to present Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to His Majesty Li Er. Although they were not priceless treasures, they were also unique, such as a book about a great harvest, or a book about the people who praised the virtues of a certain place. , and the strange prey and treasures presented by the princes.

What Li Zhi gave to His Majesty Li Er was the Wanmin Letter written by the people in Minzhou to live and work in peace and contentment, praising the emperor, but in Xuan Shijing's opinion, when His Majesty Li Er received the Wanmin Letter, the smile on his face was very meaningful.

The things Li Chengqian sent were very unique, or they were completely borrowed flowers to present Buddha. Originally, Li Chengqian had prepared a lot of strange things in the East Palace, but after hearing what Xuan Shijing said in the Xuanwu Tower yesterday, he wanted to order The officials of the East Palace and the Ministry of Households jointly handed over the memorial to the investigation of the people's childbirth.

It is said that there is no better way to know a son than a father, but in turn, why not know a better way to know a father than a son?

His Majesty Li Er carefully read Li Chengqian's memorial, so the entire Linde Hall was silent for a long time.

Putting down the memorial, His Majesty Li Er raised his head again and looked at Li Chengqian, full of relief: "The prince has a heart, very good, I have approved what you have said, and I will draw up an order when the banquet is over."

"My son thanked my father." Li Chengqian bowed his hands in salute.

"Well, if this matter is done well, it will be a blessing to the people of our Tang Dynasty. You are a very competent prince." His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and smiled.

Li Chengqian has been sitting on the position of prince for a long time. He has worked so hard for so many years, just to be able to make his father affirm him, but now, he finally got such affirmation, and it was on such an occasion as the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. In front of all the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty.

"For the sake of the people of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor, I will devote myself to everything!" At this moment, Li Chengqian was excited, and his excited eyes were filled with tears. At this moment, no one could understand his thoughts and his excitement.

It was a kind of relief. After working hard for many years, the pride of being affirmed by the father I admire the most. As a son, I finally got the affirmation of my father!In the future, I will definitely not slack off, and I must work harder, not only let my father affirm myself, but also let the ministers in the court affirm myself, let the people of the entire Tang Dynasty affirm myself, even like my father, Let the surrounding Shiyi affirm themselves, and even awe and fear themselves!
The fact is that simple, sometimes, all kinds of strict requirements, even blame, can never be worth a sentence, and it will definitely make people feel more excited.
