Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

royal palace,

Li Erlong looked majestically at the entire court.

"Everyone, you can speak freely about this matter. This is beneficial to the country and the people, and to the people's livelihood," Li Er was in high spirits at this moment and liked this kind of atmosphere very much.

But Pei Ji, the prime minister, noticed that this matter was unusual. He stood up and asked Li Er, "Your Majesty, can you tell us who discovered this matter? After all, if Your Majesty hadn't personally asked someone to investigate this matter, no one would believe it."

However, Pei Ji started this matter.

As a representative of Confucianism, Kong Yingda also stood up and asked: "Yes, Your Majesty, this person has made great contributions to the country." In fact, what he thought in his heart was that this person must be a great talent.
Everyone from the Five Surnames and Seven Families looked at Li Er curiously. They also wanted to know who had mentioned this to Li Er. After all, from ancient times to the present, marriage between relatives has become a custom.

Li Er said loudly: "This person is not interested in the court, my dear ministers, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore." Then he continued: "Let's discuss the disadvantages of inbreeding. I believe that you all don't want to see your daughter die in childbirth because of inbreeding."

Although the people of the aristocratic families always put their own interests first, they were indeed a little worried at the moment. After all, the results on that report were really shocking.

If they object, it will probably not be a wedding, but an enmity.

After discussing for a while, many officials from the five surnames and seven clans said, "Your Majesty, have you come up with an idea? I wonder how many generations of close relatives you are talking about? Please tell me clearly."

At this time Li Er opened his mouth and smiled and said: "This is what I think. It is imperative to prohibit marriage between close relatives. Direct relatives cannot marry within five generations. As for those women who want to divorce after marriage, they can remarry by imperial decree. What do you think, my dear ministers?" In fact, Li Er's idea was to curb the intermarriage between aristocratic families. After all, close relatives cannot marry within three generations. If this happened in modern times, it would be a criminal offense.

"This method is very appropriate. Your Majesty is wise." Although the people of the Five Surnames and Seven Families were unwilling, they had to accept it. After all, Li Er's method was for the good of all their families. Otherwise, it would be fun if they failed to form a marriage and became enemies.

"Your Majesty is holy."

"Your Majesty is wise." All the officials admired him very much.

"Wang De, make arrangements to have this decree issued to all prefectures and counties across the country, and then have each prefecture and county issue it to every village and town. Let all the people in the world know the disadvantages of inbreeding. If any official deceives his superiors and conceals the truth from his subordinates, I will punish him severely." Li Er immediately issued an imperial decree.

"I obey your command." Wang De said respectfully.

"My dear ministers, if you have something to report, please leave now." Li Er sat on the dragon chair, feeling very excited, thinking: "It seems that the noble families are not fools."

Li Er stood up from the dragon throne, and the ministers respectfully saw him off.

Then he returned to Lizheng Palace happily. He was in a good mood. After all, the Five Surnames and Seven Families did not oppose him this time. He was in a good mood. Of course, he had to find Empress Changsun to share such a good thing.

After the court meeting,

Zhangsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others asked together: "Xuanling, Keming, can you introduce this person to me? I am really curious."

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui smiled and said: "Brother Fuji, if you want to go, you can visit by yourself, why do you need us to help you? Besides, I have never visited you before."

After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, he saw Wei Zheng coming over and said, "Xuancheng, are you preparing to go back home?"

Wei Zheng looked at Fang Xuanling unhappily and said, "If I'm not going back home, am I going to your place?" Fang Xuanling was speechless, but they knew that Wei Zheng was like this. They snorted angrily and were about to turn around and leave. But at this time, the Minister of Works Duan Lun found Fang Xuanling, whispered a few words in his ear, and then the two left together.

However, the most depressed person at this time was not them, but Zheng Renji.
Previously, after Wei Zheng refuted the suggestion of Cui Geng, the Minister of Rites,
I don't know which bastard spread the news that his daughter Zheng Liwan was going to marry into the palace.

This incident caused the family that Zheng Liwan had arranged to be married to come and cancel the marriage.

So now Zheng Renji is having a headache.
Li Shimin was not a foolish monarch. His daughter had been labeled as Li Shimin's concubine by various families. Damn it, he really wanted to vomit blood.

He had always believed that his precious daughter, who was both beautiful and talented, would definitely be able to have a deep love with one of his sons-in-law, but he didn't know that Li Er would interfere.

He could only sigh to the sky and curse Cui Geng hundreds of times in his heart.

If it weren't for Cui Geng, how could his precious daughter end up like this.

"Lord Changsun, Lord Du." Zheng Renji greeted the two superiors with a bad look, then wanted to turn around and leave.

At this time, Changsun Wuji smiled and asked, "Master Zheng, do you have something to do?"

Zheng Renji said calmly, "Master Changsun, is there something wrong?"

Zhang Sun Wuji smiled and said, "Since Lord Zheng has nothing to do, can you come with us to meet Duke Xian? I heard from Ke Ming that he is very interesting, and I am also very curious about him."

Zheng Renji nodded. After all, Zhangsun Wuji was the uncle of the emperor, the elder brother-in-law of Li Er, and a great contributor to the Xuanwu Gate Incident. If Zheng Renji refused, wouldn't it be too tactless?

He was also curious about who the Duke Xian was and why Fatty Changsun was eyeing him.

Du Ruhui smiled speechlessly. To be honest, he didn't have much feeling for Zheng Renji. After all, Zheng Renji had limited talent and was an old minister of Li Yuan.
Then the three of them quickly walked out of the palace wall, got on their respective carriages, and followed Du Ruhui and his party to Changlefang.

Xian Guogong Mansion,
Still in that pavilion,
Zheng Zhengjin was sitting in a chair at this moment, eating breakfast leisurely.

Princess Xiangcheng, Li Xueyan and Jinse, however, looked at him strangely. It seemed more like they were looking at the two little girls beside him, Princess Changle and Princess Yuzhang.

Li Leyan looked at the smiling Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang with a strange expression and asked Zheng Zhengjin, "Sir, is there anything wrong with what you did?" After all, in Li Leyan's heart, Li Lizhi was the eldest daughter of his father, and she actually massaged Zheng Zhengjin's shoulders with her own hands.

"Sister, I think what Brother Zhengjin said is very right. How can a person get something for nothing? Besides, we are only massaging his shoulders. This way, when my sister and I return to the palace in the future, we can also massage Father and Mother. The important thing is, we can eat White Rabbit milk candy after massaging for a while." The answer of little girl Li Lizhi made Li Leyan laugh and cry.

The little Princess Yuzhang also nodded with a smile, agreeing with what Li Lizhi said. After all, the two of them grew up almost inseparable.

"Okay, you are aloof, you win, I can't argue with you." Li Leyan felt that she should find something to do.

She felt that Li Lizhi seemed to have some hidden meaning, and was hinting at something, as if she was saying that she was eating and drinking for free here.
