The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 696
"Report to the emperor, the guardian of Shuntianmen will report to the future. It is said that the shopkeeper of 33 Chongtian came down to deliver the dowry to King Jin on behalf of King Yan." Li Shimin's personal eunuch Wang De said to Li Shimin.

"This kid is trustworthy. Go and check it yourself. If there is no problem, I will hand it over to His Royal Highness King Jin. After all, it is his wife's dowry." Li Shimin said to the eunuch Wang De.

Although the king of Jin, Li Zhi, is already the crown prince.But after all, the imperial decree of canonization has not yet been issued, so naturally he is still called King Jin.

When Jin Wang Li Zhi saw the dozens of large boxes in front of him.Can't help but feel a little uneasy.Surprised, he said to Wu Ze beside him: "Brother Huang is really generous."

"You'd better not keep this money for yourself, give it to the emperor. After all, the emperor now needs money to build Yong'an Palace." Wu Ze said to Li Zhi.

"This is your dowry, are you really willing to take it out and give it to your father?" Li Zhi asked Wu Ze in disbelief.

"Your Highness will soon be the crown prince of the current dynasty, the heir to the throne in the future. And the Yong'an Palace built by the emperor now is the palace of the current emperor."

"So today we donate the money, not to help the emperor build a palace, but to build a palace for us in the future. What are the concubines reluctant to part with?" Wu Ze said to Li Zhi with a smile.

"In that case, I will give these silvers to my father tomorrow. I think my father will be very happy when he sees it." Li Zhi nodded and said.

"Your Highness must remember, never tell the emperor that it is the opinion of a concubine. Just say your own opinion, so that the emperor will not be embarrassed to accept it." Wu Ze said to Li Zhi.

"Sister Wu Ze is really my king's good helper. With you by my side, I don't have anything to worry about." Li Zhi nodded and said to Wu Ze.

"Your Highness must not forget the lessons learned by the former His Royal Highness. Therefore, the concubine advises His Highness not to rush to form your own power."

"Otherwise, in this sensitive period, His Highness will easily be suspected by the emperor. What will happen at that time, you don't need to tell the concubine, Your Highness should know." Wu Ze said to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi nodded, and then said to Wu Ze: "Sister Wu Ze, you can rest assured. If the father wants me to be the prince, then I will be the prince. If the father doesn't want me to be the prince, I will return it to you." He is."

"To tell you the truth, this king prefers to live a carefree life like the emperor's brother. That's the way to truly live out your own self, and you don't have to be bound by the Tang Dynasty."

"Why is your highness so unambitious? As the emperor's son, you should devote yourself to the future of the Tang Dynasty. How can you abandon the military and state affairs for the sake of enjoying yourself for a while?" Wu Ze looked at Li Zhi with anger. Said.

Being reprimanded by Wu Ze, Li Zhi actually lowered his head.Not a word of rebuttal came out.Maybe it's because Li Zhi couldn't find it at all, how to refute Wu Ze's words.

Maybe this Wu Ze was born to be Li Zhi's nemesis.As long as she stands in front of Li Zhi, Li Zhi must follow her instructions.

……

"Father, my son has already received the dowry that my brother prepared for Wu Ze yesterday. But my son has always been well-fed, so it is useless to keep the money."

"That's why I'm planning to convert them to my father. After all, the construction of Yong'an Palace is short of money. It can be regarded as my little effort to build Yong'an Palace for my father." Li Zhi knelt in front of Li Shimin and said.

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded.I am very satisfied with Li Zhi's approach in my heart.So he smiled and said, "You really have a heart."

"But this money is not yours. It is the dowry of your concubine Wu Ze. According to the folk saying, it is the private money of the new wife. How can you decide on your own and give it to me?"

"Father, don't worry, my minister has already sought Wu Ze's opinion. She has no objection to my minister's actions, on the contrary, she is very supportive." Li Zhi said to Li Shimin again.

"Since it's your husband and wife's wish, then I won't be polite. But I can't just take money from your husband and wife for no reason."

"I don't know what reward you want, as long as I can do it, it will definitely satisfy you." Li Shimin asked Li Zhi.

"Father, my son doesn't have anything to ask for now. When I think about it later, it won't be too late to ask my father." Li Zhi said to Li Shimin.

"Go back and prepare. It's almost time for your big wedding. After the wedding, you will move to live in the East Palace. I will prepare everything you need in the East Palace." Li Shimin clicked After nodding, he said to Li Zhi.

"Then I would like to thank my father, and I will leave now." After Li Zhi finished speaking, he saluted Li Shimin again, and then left the imperial study.

Looking at the back of Li Zhi leaving, Li Shimin said to himself: "I didn't expect you to have scruples about me. It seems that Li Chengqian's actions have created a gap between you and me."

"Why are you so paranoid? Is there anything wrong with the children respecting you?" At this moment, Changsun Wugou came over and said to Li Shimin.

"Maybe I'm overthinking, but with this money, the construction progress of Yong'an Palace will be much faster. I hope I can live in it in my lifetime." Li Shimin said to his eldest grandson Wugou with a smile.

"What did Erlang say, you are now in your prime, and there are still many years waiting for you to spend with me." Changsun Wugou said after giving Li Shimin a white look.

……

Time flies, and this day is the day of Jin Wang Li Zhi's wedding.It was also when Li Zhi was crowned prince.

It can be said that on this day, the entire city of Chang'an was decorated with lanterns and festoons to celebrate Li Zhi's wedding and being crowned prince.

The civil and military officials in the court also prepared congratulatory gifts one after another to congratulate Li Zhi.After all, there is no official who does not want to curry favor with the future emperor.

Li Zhi was wearing a four-claw python robe, receiving congratulations from the civil and military courts.At this moment, an official from the Huangmen came to report that His Royal Highness King Yan had sent someone to congratulate him.

Hearing that Li Tai sent someone, Li Zhi was naturally very happy.But Li Zhi didn't dare to let people in directly.After all, Li Shimin is still sitting on the dragon chair.

Seeing that Li Zhi didn't make his own claims, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction.Then he decreed: "Xuan come to enter the palace."

The person Li Tai sent was none other than Qin Huaiyu, the former general of the Yan Kingdom and the leader of the Flame Suzaku Army.After Qin Huaiyu entered the Jinluan Hall, he first bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to Li Shimin.

Then he opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "My minister, Qin Huaiyu, is ordered by His Royal Highness King Yan. Come and bring a wedding gift to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

After Qin Huaiyu finished speaking, four attendants brought in two gift boxes.As for what is in the gift box, no one will know until it is opened.

But everyone felt that since it was a gift from Li Tai, it was definitely not extraordinary.So everyone looked at the two gift boxes with expectant eyes.
