Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 351 Empress Changsun's Support and Persistence
"Brother, why are you here?"

Empress Changsun welcomes Changsun Wuji.

She just comforted Princess Changle, and Princess Changle finally stopped crying.

Seeing her uncle coming, Princess Changle saluted casually, and strode away from Lizheng Hall.

"My child, what happened today?"

Changsun Wuji glanced at Princess Changle and said dissatisfied.

She has loved and cared for Princess Changle since she was a child.

Because Princess Changle is not only his niece, but also his daughter-in-law.

"Oh, it's just about what happened in the Imperial Study Room."

Empress Changsun said with a sigh.

Princess Changle has told her what happened in the imperial study room just now.

She also learned about Fang Yuan bringing Li Daozong and Liu Zhenghui to enact a child protection law.

As for the specific content of the child protection law, she doesn't know yet, and she has asked people to find out.

The emperor had Fang Yuan ordered someone to write the manuscript, but Empress Changsun didn't intend to learn from the emperor.

"Children, she will understand when she grows up."

"We all came here that way back then, and the journey was not easy."

Changsun Wuji said with a sigh.

It's not easy for the two of them, siblings.

His parents died early, and he stayed at his uncle's house, still living in troubled times.

To have such an encounter now, looking back, I feel unbelievable.

"Yeah, it's not easy to walk this way."

"It is because it is not easy that future generations can live better."

"Brother, what do you think?"

Empress Changsun sighed.

Only those who have experienced the hardships of the journey will know.

She knows better than anyone what has happened in these years.

"Ok?"

Changsun Wuji frowned suddenly.

"Brother, take it easy about Changle and Chong'er."

Empress Changsun looked at Changsun Wuji with a pleading voice.

"Why are you bringing this up again?!"

"Didn't I tell you that everything I do is for happiness?"

"Changle is young, it's fine if you don't understand, don't you understand?"

Changsun Wuji was furious.

Last time, Li Shimin didn't nod his head because Empress Changsun objected.

Now Empress Changsun wants to take it easy again, doesn't she have feelings for her brother and nephew?
"Brother, I know you are doing it for the sake of Changle."

"But I prefer to see Chang Le happy."

Empress Changsun sighed.

The last time she opposed Princess Changle marrying Changsun Chong, she considered Princess Changle's happiness.

I don't want my woman to be a tool for marriage, I hope she can marry the person I like.

Now that Fang Yuan introduced the child protection law, and thinking about the situation that Princess Changle cried to herself just now, her objection became more determined.

"You are confused!"

"Will Changle be happy to marry Chong'er?"

"With me and you watching, Chonger dares to bully Changle?!"

Changsun Wuji said angrily.

"Brother, even without you and me watching, no one would dare to bully Changle."

"Brother, I'm going to find Your Majesty, you just came back from the Imperial Study Room, are you still together?"

Empress Changsun shook her head and said.

Princess Changle is the first princess, even if there is no eldest grandson Wuji watching her, no one in the world would dare to bully her.

This is the confidence of the first princess, and the confidence of the royal family.

"You wait!"

"You talk to me before you go!"

Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice.

Going to the emperor in the middle of the conversation, is he going to the emperor to complain about his opposition to the marriage?
The marriage between Changsun Chong and Princess Changle is a grand plan of the Changsun family, and no one is allowed to destroy it.

"Brother, I can't make up my mind about marriage, and it's useless for you to talk to me."

"I went to His Majesty not to object to the marriage, don't worry."

Empress Changsun saw through Changsun Wuji's thoughts.

The two brothers and sisters have lived together for many years and know each other very well.

"Then I'll go with you!"

Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice.

Although Empress Changsun cannot decide whether the marriage will succeed or not.

But as the biological mother of Princess Changle and the lord of the harem, Empress Changsun has a lot of right to make suggestions.

Moreover, the emperor was more accepting of Empress Changsun's opinions. If Empress Changsun objected, the emperor would have to worry about Empress Changsun's face.

"Then together."

Empress Changsun nodded.

The two set off to the Imperial Study Room.

When he came to the imperial study, Li Shimin was receiving several ministers.

Vaguely, Empress Changsun and Changsun Wuji heard that they were talking about the child protection law.

After seeing Empress Changsun and Changsun Wuji coming, these ministers stopped discussing very wisely and saluted Empress Changsun and Changsun Wuji.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has something to talk to you about, isn't it the right time?"

Empress Changsun said slowly.

"Just in time!"

"You go back first, and come to me after discussing it!"

Li Shimin greeted Empress Changsun with a smile on his face.

These ministers came to discuss whether to legislate child protection.

During the discussion, the Royal Study Room was treated like a vegetable market, and they kept arguing.

So Li Shimin saw Empress Changsun coming, and immediately had a reason to send them away.

Seeing this, several ministers looked at each other, saluted and left.

"Guanyin maidservant, why did you come together?"

Li Shimin helped Empress Changsun to sit down, and asked curiously.

As soon as Changsun Wuji left the imperial study, he came again with Empress Changsun.

Could it be that Changsun Wuji wanted Empress Changsun to persuade herself to oppose the legislation of the Child Protection Law?
Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji was dissatisfied with Changsun Wuji from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't show it.

"Your Majesty, just now Chang Le came to me and cried."

"She said, she's not married yet, what's the matter with a supportive opinion?"

"I also said that I am still so young, and I am about to get married before I understand anything. My life is so miserable."

Empress Changsun said slowly.

Deep in love, her eye sockets were a little moist.

"She was well-clothed and well-fed since she was a child, so how can she have a hard life?"

"When we faced Prince Yin back then, we complained tremblingly."

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately knew that he had misunderstood Changsun Wuji.

It was Princess Changle who cried to Empress Changsun, and Empress Changsun came to find her.

It is estimated that Princess Changle persuaded Empress Changsun again, so that Empress Changsun came to find herself.

It's just that the bitterness that Princess Changle said is very different from what she and others suffered back then.

"Yes."

"We almost failed that year and faced a huge crisis."

"Changle is still young and doesn't understand what suffering is. When she gets married, she will know when she grows up."

Changsun Wuji followed the words.

He wanted to make a thorough decision on the marriage between Princess Changle and Changsun Chong today.

"good."

"When you become a family, you will grow up."

Li Shimin nodded in agreement.

Only when a girl becomes a woman can she truly grow up.

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he was relieved, and the smile on his face was even wider.

"Your Majesty, this concubine is not here to say when Changle will grow up."

"I heard that Fang Yuan Fang Shilang is introducing a child protection law, and I think it is very good."

Empress Changsun glanced at Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, and said slowly.

She knew that her husband and her brother only had interests in their eyes.

Even if the two are close relatives in their hearts and Changle's close relatives, neither of them considered Changle's happiness.

The two only have marriage in their hearts, and they only think that marriage can consolidate each other's political interests, and Changle's happiness is nothing in front of them.

"How do you feel good?"

Li Shimin asked curiously.

He is hesitant to legislate.

I would also like to talk to someone I can trust.

It just so happened that Empress Changsun was looking for her, so it was a good time to have a chat.

"Each of us grew up and experienced childhood."

"Child protection laws clearly protect everyone's childhood from bullying."

"It may not be accepted by everyone in a short time, but people will appreciate the court after a few generations."

"The concubine was bullied when she was a child, so the concubine feels that the child protection law is very necessary."

Empress Changsun said earnestly.

She lost her parents when she was very young.

It was by staying at my uncle's house that I was able to survive.

Thanks to my uncle's care, we can have today's scene.

Everything seems to be very good, but when I was at my uncle's house, I was actually bullied.

When Uncle Gao Shilian was not at home, the children and aunts in the family secretly mocked their siblings and even beat them.

After growing up, even now, Empress Changsun still remembers the situation of being bullied back then, and the situation of being pressed on the ground by several cousins.

Because no real harm was caused, after becoming a princess or even a queen, Empress Changsun kept those sufferings in her heart, and she didn't even think about revenge.

After all, without my uncle, I would not be who I am now.

"You are right."

"But during this period of time, we have touched the interests of many people."

"Now the chaos in Hebei and Qingzhou has broken out, and the five surnames and seven Wangs are secretly manipulating unknown things."

"If we implement legislation, the imperial court may usher in greater turmoil. Do you think it can be implemented?"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

He did feel that child protection laws had something to do with it.

But compared with the current crisis, these benefits are not worth it.

"According to me, it's better to investigate for two years before making a decision!"

"Anyway, it's only two years, and it's just a blink of an eye for the development of the empire."

Changsun Wuji seconded and said.

He can agree to the legislation, but only after Princess Changle marries Changsun Chong.

The interests of other people have nothing to do with him, as long as the interests of the eldest grandson's family are not harmed.

Li Shimin nodded in agreement, and he also considered whether the legislation should be postponed?
Anyway, for the court and the people of the world, it doesn't matter if it is two years late.

"Whether there will be greater turmoil is just speculation."

"But there are real benefits to be seen in introducing child protection laws."

"Your Majesty, where is your courage in bloody battles?"

Empress Changsun covered her mouth and smiled.

She knew Li Shimin deeply, and at this time she should use aggressive methods.

"Hmph, do you think my edges and corners have been smoothed?"

Li Shimin said with a cold snort.

At this moment, he thought of the heroic spirit of conquering the world immediately.

The kind of high-spirited, the spirit that does not put all difficulties in the eyes.

The more difficult road has come, and now we still have to worry about damaging the interests of some people?
Just when Li Shimin was about to agree to the legislation, Changsun Wuji suddenly interrupted loudly.

"Your Majesty, I think that even if it is a law, the age should be lowered to 12 years old."

"The empress, as the mother of the world, married you at the age of 12. All women in the world should follow suit."

"And no matter what the future looks like, our determination to increase the population will not change. Marrying at the age of 14 will greatly reduce the population."

Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice.

Most people's daughters are married at the age of 14.

There are a few who are relatively early, married at the age of 12, such as Empress Changsun.

But no matter how old other people's family is when they get married, Changsun Wuji only wants to marry Princess Changle in two years.

"Although I am a queen, I have not set an example for women all over the world. Marriage at the age of 12 should not be used as a reference."

"It's good to be 14 years old, at least it's not like when you are 12 years old and you don't understand anything, you have to become a husband and wife."

Empress Changsun shook her head and said.

She supports the legislation, on the one hand, because she feels that legislation is necessary, and on the other hand, she considers it for Princess Changle.

It has been five years in Zhenguan, halfway through, and my daughter is already ten years old.

If you are going to get married at the age of 12, you have less than two years left.

In this regard, Empress Changsun hoped that Changle could remarry in four years and give her more time to prepare.

"Guanyin maidservant, why did I hear you? Do you think it would be unhappy to marry me at the age of 12?"

Li Shimin frowned and said.

Changsun Wuji's expression changed, but he did not save Empress Changsun.

"No, the concubine is very happy, the concubine has met a good husband."

"But if there is a choice, the concubine hopes to remarry at the age of 14."

"Twelve years old is too young, and some of them still haven't shown geranium."

Empress Changsun shook her head and said.

She is smart, and heard Li Shimin's dissatisfaction.

So after she praised Li Shimin, she said her intentions.

"But I think it is very important to increase the population."

Li Shimin's dissatisfaction disappeared, and he said slowly.

"Your Majesty, getting married at the age of 12 and getting married at the age of 14 actually doesn't change the population much."

"If a woman has seven children in her life, she will have the same number of children when she is married at 12 and 14."

Empress Changsun said in a deep voice.

At the end, she suddenly felt sad.

She felt that, according to men's ideas, women are like reproductive machines.

Such treasonous thoughts gushed out of her heart, and she felt trembling and frightened in her heart.

"The difference is not big, but in fact, there are changes. The difference is ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or one million."

"And, Your Majesty, Changle and Chong'er are still married, so we can't"

Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji said what he most wanted to say.

Now they are all his family members, so he has nothing to be ashamed to say.

He could even say that it was because of the marriage that he objected.

"Brother, after all, you are opposing the child protection law for your own self-interest."

"Your Majesty, let me reiterate that I do not agree to betroth Chang Le to Chang Sun Chong unless Chang Le agrees!"

Empress Changsun said firmly.

"Bullshit!"

"The marriage of a princess is a national event, so don't you want to interfere in politics in the harem!"

Li Shimin glared at Empress Changsun.

Changle's marriage to Changsun Chong was a political deal between him and Changsun Wuji.

He didn't want, and didn't allow Empress Changsun to stop again and again.
