Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 249 The Late Dowry

"Guanyin maidservant, don't go, I can still afford the money!"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, obviously not wanting to lose face in front of his beloved woman.

After more than ten years of companionship, how could Empress Changsun not know the character of this emperor, she couldn't help but think to herself, and send someone to talk about it in private.

At least let Yafu not earn so much, at least it can make His Majesty feel more balanced. After thinking of this, Empress Changsun couldn't help but feel a little helpless in her heart.

"The Empress!"

Just at this moment, a hurried maid's voice sounded, with a hint of anxiety in the words.

Empress Changsun immediately remembered that this maid was her personal maid, but now she was stopped outside.

But Empress Changsun frowned slightly, because if it was an ordinary matter, then this court lady would not be so flustered.

"Let her in!"

Empress Changsun looked at Her Majesty whose complexion had returned to normal because of the words, and then spoke.

After Empress Changsun's voice fell, the little eunuch outside the door naturally didn't dare to stop this court lady.

"I have seen His Majesty, I have seen Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, this is a letter sent by Duke Anxuan, and it seems that the person is in a hurry."

The maid first saluted respectfully and then immediately talked about the incident this time. You must know that it was because of Duke Anxuan last time.

Therefore, Empress Changsun paid close attention to this sub-father, and naturally ordered the maids to tell her immediately if there was anything about her sub-father.

Empress Changsun looked at the envelope in her hand with doubts in her eyes, but she opened it in front of His Majesty.

At this time, the maid had already withdrawn from the imperial study room. You must know that the maid's heart was beating non-stop at this time, because if it wasn't for the order of her eldest grandson empress.

Then this maid did not dare to break into the imperial study, knowing that if she was not careful, it might be a matter of life or death.

As for Li Shimin on the side, he also began to relax now, and it seemed that he felt much better because he told this matter.

But Li Shimin's eyes were also flickering, he didn't know what the old man was doing with the letter.

After Empress Changsun read the envelope, there were some emotional changes on her complexion, and at the same time, there was a lot of warmth in her heart.

Seeing His Majesty's expectant and doubtful eyes, Empress Changsun handed the envelope to His Majesty.

Li Shimin naturally looked at it without hesitation, but soon a trace of complexity appeared on his face.

"I didn't expect Yafu to give Wugou this million guan!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but say a little embarrassed, because the million guan naturally came from them.

But the content of Shu An's letter was to make up for Wugou's dowry back then, Li Shimin's expression became even more embarrassing after thinking of this.

Because when he got married back then, he did something unethical. Although Shu An is the eldest grandson Wugou's second father, the eldest grandson Wugou is not just an elder.

For example, the eldest grandson Wuji, after his father passed away, existed like a father, and there were also uncles Gao Shilian.

So Li Shimin naturally passed Shu An, and naturally Shu An didn't prepare any dowry at all.

This also caused Shu An to leave Chang'an in a fit of anger and travel around, if it wasn't because of old age.

Coupled with the passage of time and the letters from her daughter, Shu An gradually began to let go of her heart, so she decided to return to Chang'an.

If Li Shimin was distressed before, then now that the money has been turned around and returned to him, Li Shimin is a little guilty at this time.

After all, remembering the incident at the beginning, it was indeed a little dishonest. At this time, Empress Changsun's complexion was also flushed, and she glared at Li Shimin fiercely.

Empress Changsun sighed slightly, feeling quite moved in her heart, but she still hadn't forgotten one thing afterward, and that was the last sentence on the envelope.

“Lingnan is a great place!”

Empress Changsun murmured softly, and Li Shimin on the side also heard this sentence and nodded emphatically.

If he didn't know that food in Lingnan was so cheap before, then Li Shimin wouldn't care at all.

Especially in this special period, we must know that due to wars and natural disasters, there is not much food in the entire Tang Dynasty.

If the food from Lingnan can be introduced, then it can be said to be a good thing for Datang.

After all, if people are full, they will not starve to death, especially in the homes of ordinary people, the difference in the price of a penny of rice determines many things.

But there is still a problem before us, that is, the interests behind these rice merchants.

However, Li Shimin naturally has no reason to give up, because there is no comparison between this benefit and Datang's benefit.

Of course, now Li Shimin still wants more food from Lingnan, which is too cheap. You must know that Li Shimin has long wanted to build an elite army.

It's just that I haven't put it into action yet, mainly because of investment, and the most important point is to be full.

But even Li Shimin couldn't do this before, but now there seems to be a turning point.

After thinking of this, Li Shimin's face became excited again, as if he saw the future of Datang.

As for Empress Changsun who was at the side, she couldn't help shaking her head when she saw this scene. She looked sick before, but now she looks like a dragon and tiger in spirit. It's a world of difference.

Before, she thought what was going on with His Majesty, but now it seems that she is concerned about it and is in chaos.

Empress Changsun didn't stay for long, but she resigned instead. She still needs to be modest. If it takes a long time, many people will gossip.

In fact, many people have noticed the commotion in the palace, especially how Li Shimin's mood has changed so much.

It's just that more people are still puzzled by this news, because they don't know what happened to His Majesty.

But one thing they know is that His Majesty is not in a good mood recently, just don't mess with this Majesty.

As for Shu An in the academy, he smiled slightly. Speaking of which, it would be useless for him to ask for the money.

"The dowry of a million guan, although some are late, but it is enough to surprise many people."

Shu An murmured softly, the money was originally obtained by Li Shimin's death, and now he paid it back in another way.

The stronger Datang is, the more beneficial it is to him, so he still hopes that Datang will prosper and last forever.

Traveling through this era, you can't just do nothing, and always do something meaningful.
